At this moment, Xia Chujian was wearing a Supernatural Helmet that could defend against Rank A peak Mental Strength, wielding a fierce Submachine Gun, and fighting alongside the Starling Machine Gun that endlessly swiveled its muzzles! The drone swarm opposite them looked dense, but in reality, there were only three hundred or so.
Xia Chujian's series of actions were as fierce as a tiger, and within ten minutes, she fired another hundred thousand bullets.
This time, it was all aimed at that group of suicide-bombing drones.
With Xia Chujian's attack power, she could turn even Remnant Species into charcoal-grilled seafood, let alone these metal drones.
Even though someone was remotely controlling these drones from a distance, and even though these drones were loaded with a large amount of ammunition, even explosives.
However, under Xia Chujian's preemptive long-range assault and the Quan Family's security system's electromagnetic interference, not a single one of these drones was able to cause damage to the luxurious motorcade on the ground. Even their self-detonations only managed to blow up their own drone swarm into a chaotic mess!
Occasionally, one or two drones slipped through the rain of bullets, but they were taken down by Ping Qiong and the Quan Family's own bodyguards with sniper rifles.
The entire battle ended very cleanly and efficiently.
The Quan Family's noble ladies and the Fan Family's accompanying personnel in the luxurious motorcade on the ground had no idea that a fierce battle was taking place in the sky above them.
Xia Chujian put away her gun and muttered, "The soundproofing of that luxurious RV must be exceptionally good."
Inside the luxurious RV, Quan Caiwei and Hui Yinong were sitting side by side across a square table, with the Fan Family brothers opposite them.
The Fan Family's eldest son was Hui Yinong's fiancé, and she should have been sitting with him, but because Quan Caiwei was not used to sitting with strangers, Hui Yinong chose to sit next to her.
Quan Caiwei secretly thanked her for her choice.
The four of them were playing cards.
Quan Caiwei was partnered with Fan Chengcai, and Fan Chengqi was partnered with Hui Yinong.
Quan Caiwei wasn't very good at playing, and several times she hesitated, not knowing which card to play.
The Fan Er Shao didn't take special care of her either, but kept urging her to play and frowned, asking, "Madam, can you even play cards?"
Fan Chengcai didn't act subserviently in front of her like other men, or even wish he could bend over for her to step on.
Quan Caiwei had never seen this kind of man before.
It was too rare to find a man who could treat her like an ordinary person.
Therefore, Quan Caiwei not only didn't dislike Fan Chengcai, but became even more amiable.
She smiled and said, "Fan Er Shao, I can't play cards."
Fan Chengcai stared at her dumbfounded, as if he hadn't expected her to say that at all.
Quan Caiwei was amused by Fan Chengcai's expression and covered her mouth, laughing, "Fan Er Shao, what's wrong? Have you never seen someone who can't play cards?"
Fan Chengcai looked embarrassed and said grumpily, "Fine! I admit defeat! I have to finish the game with the partner I chose myself, even if I have to kneel! So what if I have to stick notes on my face?! Stick them wherever you want!"
The rules for playing cards this time were set by Quan Caiwei.
They weren't gambling money or anything else, just sticking notes on their faces with the words "I am a pig" written on them.
Quan Caiwei was holding back her laughter so much that her stomach hurt, but she still maintained her elegant demeanor, still smiling without showing her teeth.
By the time the battle outside came to an end, their card game had only finished the first round.
Unsurprisingly, Fan Chengcai and Quan Caiwei lost.
After some discussion, Quan Caiwei and Fan Chengcai were supposed to each stick a note on their face, but Fan Chengcai took the initiative to say that he could stick both notes.
So, Fan Chengcai had one note on his left cheek that said "I am a pig" and another on his right cheek that said "I am still a pig", which made Quan Caiwei constantly glance at his face, laughing every time she looked at him.
Fan Chengcai, however, kept a straight face, looking impatient but forced to endure out of politeness, which seemed very natural.
Hui Yinong gave Fan Chengqi a meaningful look, then whispered in Quan Caiwei's ear, "... Caiwei, this Fan Er Shao has a tough temper, don't mind him. He's also not eager to curry favor with others. If he offends you, please, for my sake, don't take it to heart, and don't tell your family, okay?"
Quan Caiwei nodded and said softly, "I know, don't worry, Yinong. I didn't take it to heart, and Fan Er Shao has high moral character and isn't the type to climb the social ladder. There are very few people like that these days, we should cherish them."
Hui Yinong was overjoyed, but still maintained a playful expression on her face, saying, "It's also because you, Caiwei, are different from other noble ladies. Do you know? If it were those noble ladies from the Li Family, they wouldn't even look at you unless you knelt down to talk to them."
"... Oh... By the way, how's your hand?" Quan Caiwei smiled, not continuing Hui Yinong's words, but naturally changing the subject.
Hui Yinong retracted her head, thinking, this Quan Caiwei, I don't know if she's really pure or pretending to be.
It's clear that those noble ladies from the Li Family don't like her and cause her trouble at school every day, but she still gives way to them, it's really embarrassing for the Quan Family...
But Quan Caiwei clearly didn't want to talk about this topic, so she wouldn't continue.
Thus, the second round of cards began.
...
In mid-air, the Quan Family's security command center was reviewing the operation.
Director Liang, who was in charge of the Quan Family's security system, was making a self-criticism: "Second Master Quan, on the first day of the operation, we discovered a security company that had infiltrated with the intention to attack."
"They were recommended by your mother's personal secretary. We thought that since Second Madam Quan is your biological mother, Second Master Quan, and also the esteemed lady's aunt, the security company she vouched for would definitely be good, so... we didn't do a background check."
Quan Yugui was the eldest son of the Quan Family's Second Branch, and also the second-ranked young master in the entire Quan Family.
At this time, Quan Yugui still had that extremely world-weary and decadent expression on his face, but his words were as sharp as knives.
He stared at Director Liang and slowly said, "Director Liang, how many years have you been the director of the security system in my Quan Family?"
"This humble one has been doing it for ten years."
"Having done it for ten years, don't you know what the first rule of the Quan Family's security code is?" Quan Yugui's voice was chilling, causing everyone present to lower their heads.
Director Liang was nearly fifty years old, but he was also a high-level Gene Evolver, so he looked like he was in his early thirties, in the prime of his life.
He wasn't afraid of Quan Yugui, but he was very surprised that this Second Master, who usually didn't care about anything, would suddenly ask this.
Previously, the Quan Family's security system was the responsibility of Second Master Quan.
In the future, the Quan Family's security system would gradually be transferred to the new generation, such as this Second Master's eldest son, Quan Yugui.
After thinking for a while, Director Liang said, "The first rule of the Quan Family's security code is that all those involved in security must first be assumed to be attempting to harm the Quan Family, until the results of the background check rule out this possibility."
After saying this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The first rule of this security code was actually saying that background checks should be conducted on all those involved in security, treating them equally.
More strictly speaking, it was necessary to first suspect that the other party wanted to take the opportunity to harm the Quan Family, and investigate their background from this perspective, until the background check proved that this position was wrong.
And his performance this time completely violated the first rule of this security code.
Director Liang's straight back suddenly bent.
The sweat on his forehead became denser.
Quan Yugui's tone changed, and he leaned back on the soft sofa seat, and said lightly: "Alright, Mr. Liang, you're fired. But you've served in our Quan Family for more than ten years, so you'll still receive your retirement pay. Of course, I hope you remember how to walk the road ahead."
Director Liang's face quickly turned ashen.
His lips moved, wanting to beg for mercy, but looking at Quan Yugui's unapproachable appearance, he still didn't say it.
Of course, the most important thing was that Quan Yugui didn't clear the scene when he fired him.
With so many subordinates watching, he was too embarrassed to kneel down and beg for mercy.
He had no choice but to give Quan Yugui a slow ninety-degree bow, and turned to leave in dismay.
Quan Yugui didn't look at him, and had already issued the second order: "Call Secretary Zhao over here."
Secretary Zhao was his mother's personal secretary, and also the recommender of the security company that had caused the incident this time.
Secretary Zhao came to the Quan Family's modified large Flying Vehicle and said with a smile, "Second Master, you're looking for me? I just had a video call with Second Madam, and she's very concerned about you."
Quan Yugui stared at her, still with that world-weary and decadent expression, and said lazily, "Secretary Zhao, how long have you been with my mother?"
"...I've been following Second Madam since she married from the Li Family." Secretary Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, not understanding why this unpredictable Second Master was asking this.
Quan Yugui said "Oh" and continued, "So Secretary Zhao followed my mother from the Li Family when she married. Then your family is all on the Li Family's side?"
"Oh, not really. When I followed Second Madam to marry into the Quan Family, my family also followed." She said with a smile.
Quan Yugui nodded and suddenly asked, "Secretary Zhao, are you very familiar with the security company you recommended?"
Secretary Zhao's mind skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Second Master? Isn't it just being a bodyguard for that girl from the Third Branch? Could something happen because of this?"
"Secretary Zhao, please answer my question. Are you very familiar with the security company you recommended?" Quan Yugui asked word by word, his expression unchanged, but his tone completely changed.
Secretary Zhao's face turned pale, not knowing how to answer.
Her eyes flickered as she looked at Quan Yugui, tentatively asking, "Second Master, if there's anything, just say it. I grew up with Second Madam, you can say anything in front of me..."
Quan Yugui was so angry at her words that he laughed, his voice becoming even more erratic: "...Secretary Zhao, I'll ask you one last time, are you very familiar with the security company you recommended?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, which held a silver-handled pistol, the dark muzzle pointed at Secretary Zhao's forehead.
Secretary Zhao's legs went weak, and she knelt directly on the ground, crying and saying, "Second Master Quan! Second Master Quan! I don't know what happened... That security company, I'm not familiar with them! Not at all!"
"Not familiar? And you guaranteed and recommended them?!" Quan Yugui straightened his arm, the gun in his hand aimed at Secretary Zhao's forehead.
