Chapter 139：Liu Di, Congratulations

"This... boss," the middle-aged woman suddenly became a bit uneasy. "Are you serious?"

"Of course," Liu Di replied with a confident smile. "Two villas are nothing; they can't fully represent Liang Ji's true value. In the future, our company, The Creator, will surely become the top internet company not just in China but globally. As my right-hand man, Liang Ji's worth cannot be measured by money!"

"Top... in the world... The Creator?" The middle-aged woman stared at Liu Di, who was full of spirit, and mumbled, "You said Liang Ji is one of your core team members?"

The woman, though not highly educated and not particularly interested in business, had heard the street gossip. There was a company that had repeatedly defeated the giant Tencent and had achieved a monthly revenue of over 10 billion yuan in just a few months. This company was said to be the most promising in China in the last two decades. And this company's name seemed to be—The Creator.

"Thank you for your appreciation, boss," said Xiao Tang, standing up and holding Liang Ji's arm. She continued softly, "I also believe Liang Ji will achieve great things in the future."

"Mom, to be honest, I've been secretly dating Liang Ji for three years now, and I've seen him work his way up from a 2,000-yuan monthly salary to where he is today."

"He's accomplished this through his persistence, his hard work, and countless sleepless nights!"

"I admire Liang Ji for his character. As for achievements, money, and status, I believe that hard work will be rewarded!"

"Of course, even if he didn't own a house, I'd still be willing to spend my life with him!"

Xiao Tang's gaze was firm as she looked at her mother. "Mother, I just hope you can let go of those worldly concerns and sincerely bless us!"

Liang Ji, who was not very good with words, was stunned at this moment, filled with emotion. To find such a soulmate, what more could he ask for?

"Sigh..." The middle-aged woman sighed softly, suddenly realizing that the stubborn-looking girl in front of her was no longer just a little girl who would throw tantrums. She had grown up! She had her own thoughts! Her own judgment! And her own love!

"Mom wanted to make sure Liang Ji had material stability so you could have a better future," the middle-aged woman said, her voice trembling slightly. "But... nothing, not even a garage, can compare to seeing Xiao Tang happy."

Then, the middle-aged woman suddenly put on a stern face and pointed at Liang Ji. "My daughter is a medical doctor who studied abroad! Since you've won her over, you must treat her well!"

"And since you have such a good boss, you better not slack off at work! Hmph!"

With that, the middle-aged woman grabbed her purse off the table, turned around, and said, "Come over for dinner this weekend!"

Liang Ji, a poor kid from a small village, stared at everything in disbelief. The woman he loved, his future mother-in-law with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and his incredibly supportive boss, Liu Di. His eyes were wet with tears. "Thank you, everyone," Liang Ji said with a choked voice.

"No need to thank us," Liu Di replied with a mischievous smile. "Liang Ji, when I said I would reward you with two houses, I wasn't joking. Don't you want to know why it's two?"

Liang Ji looked at Liu Di, feeling as if he was looking at the most wonderful person in the world, although still second to his girlfriend, Xiao Tang.

He then smiled knowingly and turned to Xiao Tang, apologizing, "Xiao Tang, I need to ask for another three days off."

"I've taken our boss's villa, and now that I've accepted it, I can't just slack off... I'll have to stay here for a few more days."

Liang Ji stuck out his tongue playfully as he spoke.

Xiao Tang looked at Liang Ji with affection. "Approved, but please take care of yourself..."

Watching the affectionate couple, Liu Di smiled warmly and quietly stepped aside. Meanwhile, inside his mind, Mo Tong was already making a fuss.

"Liu Di, Liu Di, you better come back soon... bring back my thoughts of you..."

"What's going on, Mo Tong?" Liu Di asked.

"Comrade Liu Di, congratulations! You're about to be assassinated again!" Mo Tong said playfully. "But this time, it's not just some ordinary gangster—it's an international assassin! A cyborg!"

Mo Tong had the ability to tap into the entire internet. If it wanted, there was almost nothing it couldn't hack, be it the Haishi power grid, Tencent's headquarters, or personal computers and phones. While Mo Tong didn't constantly monitor everything, it would immediately pick up anything related to Liu Di.

So when Li Daode decided to take desperate measures and arrange for Liu Di's assassination, Mo Tong discovered it immediately. It even traced the international assassin network and identified the middleman, "Tiger," who had contacted the assassin known as "Spade Nine."

"Does this mean success attracts trouble?" Liu Di sighed as he glanced at the profile that had just appeared before his eyes. It was a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign man, about 30 years old, with a muscular build and sharp, cold eyes.

Sack, a European interior designer. Unmarried, an orphan. Three years ago, he was diagnosed with bone cancer and underwent 18 months of treatment before miraculously recovering. The following photos showed him in casual attire, painting, writing, and fishing.

Beyond these, there was no additional information.

Mo Tong added, "Based on what the middleman said, he belongs to an organization called the 'Poker Society,' and his code name is Spade Nine."

"But the strange thing is, there's no trace of this organization on the internet, not even any signs of communication between them."

"It seems this organization is highly cautious of the internet and never uses it!"

"The above information is just what I managed to gather by tracking his IP address and finding his daily activities."

"Hmm..." Mo Tong mused, "He seems very similar to Yan Yiwen!"

Liu Di also fell into deep thought.

Mo Tong continued, "However, based on his income sources and the various tools hidden in his suitcase, it's clear that he's an assassin!"

"And he's coming to kill you in three days!"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Di's eyes flashed with determination. "Mo Tong, it looks like we need to make some preparations. We must give this international guest a proper welcome."

"Besides, he might be the key to unlocking the mystery of Yan Yiwen!"

After a brief pause, Liu Di asked, "How strong is Spade Nine?"

Mo Tong scoffed, "He's a joke."
