The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 456 Taking it Easy to Vent Your Anger (Part 1)

Anyone who has watched a few American blockbusters should understand one thing:
If we lose our nuclear weapons, everyone will be nervous!
Because you never know when that thing will suddenly smash into your head.

If someone is nervous, then someone has to step up and take responsibility.

"boom!"

For a certain company, it was the darkest hour before dawn.

Uncle Lao, with a gloomy face, led Lei Zhen and the internal audit team into the front-line duty room.

Sitting at his workstation was a middle-aged man with a deathly pale face and a look of despair in his eyes.

Uncle Lao stared at him for a long time before sighing:
"Tell me, why did you order the protective team to withdraw without authorization?"

The man lowered his head, his voice hoarse: "...For a woman."

It's that same excuse again! Throughout history, countless messy accounts have been settled by blaming "women."

Uncle Lao's tone was unreadable: "Do you think this reason holds water?"

The man gave a wry smile: "She lied to me... saying she just wanted to chat with that young man for a bit. I figured he's usually protected like a rock, so..."

Uncle Lao suddenly interrupted him, his gaze sharp:
"I'm asking you, if it really is a 'high-tech' weapon, and your woman says she wants to take a look, would you dare let her get close enough to examine it?!"

"..." The man was speechless and lowered his head even further.

"Take it with you." Uncle Lao waved wearily and turned to leave.

Those who truly understand that child's abilities would never do something so foolish and suicidal. The United States will not resort to state violence until it finds a way to deal with that child.

Therefore, there is only one possibility left: it is the work of some capital that is unaware of the inside story but whose interests have been severely threatened, who secretly carried out the dirty work.

Moreover, the other party was quite cunning: they did not use any easily traceable monetary transactions throughout the entire process, and apart from using the "woman" tactic, everything else was a shady and underhanded trick, completely cutting off all clues.

Because at the end of this dead end, what lies across the way is not a wall, but a heavy iron gate.

The only key that can open this door now hangs over a most crucial and sensitive issue—

Is that child dead or alive?

After dealing with a series of exhausting tasks, Uncle Lao stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office. Outside, the winter sun was slowly rising from the low, frost-covered gray-tiled roofs of Beijing's old city, its golden rays piercing the chilly air and bathing the ancient alleyways and the modern high-rises in the distance in a warm glow.

He watched silently for a long time, until the sunlight became somewhat dazzling, before slowly turning around and instructing Lei Zhen, who had been waiting behind him:

"Send the most reliable people to take good care of that store."

His voice was calm:

“Before that child returns, he forbids anyone ‘unrelated’ from approaching the area.”

"Yes~"

……

Not far from a certain company is the Beijing Royal Palace Oriental Culture Hotel.

Evangeline Foster woke up early, did some simple yoga and washed up. She sat by the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of black coffee, overlooking the gradually awakening skyline of Beijing.

As the time approached, she skillfully opened the WeChat reservation mini-program on her phone.

However, the interface that appeared before her eyes stunned her.

A bold announcement is displayed prominently on the mini-program's homepage:

"Dear Members: Due to force majeure, our Chief Technician and Store Manager, Mr. Zhao Xiaochui, will be absent from today's grand opening ceremony. Related appointment services will be temporarily suspended. The specific resumption time will be announced separately."

To her even greater surprise, she also received an internal system notification for the premium technician treatment she had prepaid $50,000 for:

"Dear Ms. Foster, due to unforeseen circumstances, your booked service will be subject to today's internal bidding process. Your $50,000 payment will serve as a deposit, reserving your right of first refusal."

The final bid at 10:00 AM today will determine your final service fee. If you choose not to participate in the bidding, Easy Travel will compensate you with three times the prepayment, or $150,000, in accordance with the membership agreement.

Foster's hand, holding the coffee cup, froze in mid-air, as if a pause button had been pressed.

She was stunned for several seconds before she suddenly realized what was happening and frantically rummaged through her bag for another phone, the work phone of her Chinese personal assistant whom she had recently hired at a high salary.

Only by logging in with the account on this phone can she see the real member reservation interface inside Easy Slow Travel, which is different from the simplified version for international users; it is the complete mini-program.
