Xue Qijing grabbed her wrist and asked worriedly, "Mingxi, what happened? Can I go in with you?"
Ming Xi turned her head and glanced at Xue Qijing, then said coldly: "I will handle the company's affairs myself, you can go back!"
After saying that, Mingxi shook off Xue Qijing's hand, stepped out of the car, and walked quickly towards the company. Xue Qijing looked at Mingxi's back, feeling a little dazed. She was indeed different from before. Now she could stand on her own.
Thinking of this, Xue Qijing stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away with a "whoosh".
"Manager!" As soon as Mingxi stepped into the company, the secretary rushed over anxiously, "You're finally here!"
Mingxi strode towards the studio, her straight hair hanging on her cheeks swaying gently in the wind created by her quick steps. Her beautiful eyes exuded a cold and captivating murderous aura.
"What's the situation now?" Mingxi asked about the situation in the studio as she walked.
"Manager, they became impatient twice while waiting for you, and two makeup artists have been injured." The secretary couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought of what had just happened.
"How many people are there in the studio?" Ming Xi continued to ask.
"Report to the manager, there are thirty-three employees!"
"What about Xiao Zan's men?" Why did Xiao Zan's men come to her? Did something happen to Yi? Thinking of this, Mingxi became inexplicably worried and scared.
"More than twenty!" The secretary's heart was pounding when he thought of those men in black suits suddenly rushing in with guns.
Twenty?!
"They specifically asked the manager to go, otherwise they would kill all 33 employees!" The secretary clenched his fists nervously and worriedly.
Mingxi frowned. Twenty people, can she handle them all? The people in this company are either makeup artists or stylists. They don't know how to fight.
"Do they have anything with them?" Mingxi walked quickly towards the studio.
"The manager and his men have guns! I have called all the company's security guards outside the studio!" The secretary followed Mingxi closely.
"Very good!" Ming Xi said briefly.
The two hurried to the studio and found that many people were already standing outside. They were relieved to see Mingxi coming, and they shouted in unison: "Manager!"
Mingxi stretched out her hand, signaling them not to speak. She looked up at the monitor, her eyes frighteningly deep.
"Manager, do we need to call the police?" The secretary looked at the twenty or so men standing neatly in the studio with guns in their hands and couldn't help but tremble again.
"No need! Even if we call the police, they dare to openly take out guns, which means they are not afraid of the police at all. Besides, if we call the police and anger them, everyone inside may die!" Mingxi pretended to be calm, but she was not calm at all. If Yi was here, he would definitely be able to handle this matter. It's good to know that this is the first time she has encountered such a blatant case of someone taking a gun into the company and holding someone hostage.
"Evacuate everyone, leave the company, and take three days off!" Mingxi took a deep breath and tried to enter the studio. But the secretary grabbed her arm and said, "Manager, don't go in. Their main target is you!"
Mingxi smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Pulling away the secretary's hand, Mingxi pushed open the door of the studio and slammed it shut with a casual "bang..."
The people in the studio were startled by the sudden noise, and they all looked towards Mingxi. When the thirty-three employees saw Mingxi, they grabbed a life-saving straw and shouted for help, "Manager!"
Ming Xi ignored them, clasped her arms across her chest, and slowly walked to the man in black. She looked straight and coldly at the man standing between the two rows of men in black.
He wore a pair of big sunglasses that almost covered half of his face.
"I've opened it. Can you let them go now?" Ming Xi didn't want to waste any more words with them, so she went straight to the point.
The man looked up, glanced at Mingxi with disdain, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a puff, and then spit it towards Mingxi's face.
“Oh! I thought their manager was such an amazing woman, but it turns out she’s only…” The man looked Ming Xi up and down with disdain.
Ming Xi glanced at him and retorted, "Haven't you heard that concentration is the essence? Ha! You are more than 20 grown men, all over 1.8 meters tall, but you arrested my employees to threaten me. Ha! If this gets out, aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you?"
"You have a sharp tongue!" The man smashed the cigarette to the ground and stomped it out.
"Women's mouths are very powerful!" Mingxi looked at the man with a smile.
"I heard that you are very powerful and have never failed in a fight or a murder!" the man smiled coldly.
"That's just a rumor. I'm just an ordinary woman. To survive in the business world, it's inevitable to learn some self-defense skills!" Ming Xi said coldly.
"Really?" the man asked in disbelief.
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you! Since I'm here, please let them go. You can do whatever you want with me!" Ming Xi changed the subject directly.
"That's what you said yourself!" The man showed a sly sneer on his face.
"I, Han Mingxi, may be a woman, but my words are always trustworthy!" Mingxi said calmly but firmly. Her eyes were cold and her whole body exuded a chill that no one dared to ignore.
"Okay! I'll let them go, but you have to come with us!" The man chuckled and turned to look at the petite woman beside him. He couldn't believe that she was the devil angel that the entire assassin world feared, so he added, "How about we go to another place and fight?"
He couldn't believe that this woman was so powerful!
"Okay!" Ming Xi agreed immediately, "Now, can you let them go?"
Seeing that Mingxi wanted him to release the person, the man said coldly, "If you beat me, you will release the person!"
After saying that, the man waved his hand, and the man in a black suit standing nearby immediately drove the thirty-three employees out of the studio collectively, and also stopped them from running around.
Mingxi was also held by two men and walked towards the underground parking lot.
On the way to the parking lot, the entire company was empty. Apart from them, there was no one to be seen. Seeing this, Mingxi finally felt relieved. At the same time, she began to speculate on the identity of Xiao Zan.
Xiao Zan, she heard that he was involved in both the black and white worlds, but she had only heard of him and had never seen what he looked like. Han Mingxi had no idea what kind of person he was. Yi went to the United States this time to investigate him, and wondered if there were any clues.
But based on a woman's intuition, this person is not simple!
As they were thinking, they had already arrived at the underground parking lot.
The man waved his hand, and the two people holding Mingxi let her go. The thirty-three employees were driven to the corner, squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads.
"Tell me, what are you competing for?" Mingxi was the first to speak. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that the man in front of her was not a good person, and that he was a villain who would go back on his words.
The man smiled, looking like a gangster. He walked up to Mingxi, circled around her a few times, and then said, "I heard that you are very fast at assembling guns. How about we have a competition in this?"
Ming Xi sneered, crossed her arms over her chest, looked straight at the man, and said easily: "Okay! But let me say this first, if I win, you let them go!"
