The sudden change was too fast, so fast that no one could react … Except for Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping was even faster than the attacker. When the attacker's hand was about to land on Zhao Taiheng's neck, Xu Taiping caught up and grabbed his wrist, then stopped.

In that instant, the attacker's entire arm was dislocated.

The attacker's face was dark as he raised his leg and lashed out at Xu Taiping with a powerful whip kick.

Xu Taiping raised a hand to block off the attacker's whip kick, then swung it downwards.

With a bang, the attacker's entire body was sent flying into the air. Then, Xu Taiping's hand that was holding onto the attacker's wrist, suddenly pressed down onto the ground.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

With a loud bang, the attacker's entire body was slammed into the ground.

Logically speaking, a normal person would have fainted long ago after being struck like that, and would be unable to move even a little. However, this attacker hadn't, and after his body heavily crashed into the ground, his other hand, which was still unharmed, fiercely slapped the ground.

The powerful force caused the attacker to catapult into the air. Almost at the same time, an explosion sounded out from several places around the office!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of an explosion rang out, but there was no fire. A cloud of white smoke appeared at the same time as the explosion. In the blink of an eye, the white smoke surrounded the entire office.

Xu Taiping ignored the attackers and retreated to Zhao Taiheng's side.

The attack did not continue.

After the white smoke rose, the attacker gave up on the assassination and disappeared into the white smoke.

By the time the white smoke dispersed, the attacker had already disappeared.

Xu Taiping squatted down and touched the white powder under him. This white powder was the same white smoke as before.

"Ashes, it doesn't have any poison, nor did it use explosion. No wonder it could be brought in." Xu Taiping stood up and looked at Zhao Taiheng.

Despite the surprise attack, Zhao Taiheng was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect to be assassinated here. Taiping, thank you very much."

"You're too polite." Xu Taiping shook his head, "Yes, I did. I can't just ignore it."

"Come, follow me in!" Zhao Taiheng turned around and walked into his office as he spoke.

When they were about to walk into the office, Zhao Taiheng looked at the other people waiting for him, smiled, and said, "After I'm done talking with my friend, you guys can come into my office one by one, if you guys are not scared by what happened just now."

With that, Zhao Taiheng walked into his office, followed by Xu Taiping.

The few people outside the office looked at each other, then left. Some sat on chairs and continued to wait.

Zhao Taiheng's office was as plain as before, and on Zhao Taiheng's desk, there was a picture of four people that Xu Taiping had seen before. One of them was Old Master Zhao, and the three brothers Zhao Taiheng.

This could be considered the fortune of their entire family. However, what surprised Xu Taiping was that there was no one like Zhao Taiheng's mother.

"My mother left early." Zhao Taiheng saw Xu Taiping looking at the photo, smiled and said, "All three of us grew up under my father, so we have a very good relationship since we were young."

"I really envy you brothers." Xu Taiping laughed, "I grew up by myself. I lost my parents when I was very young, and even though I ate a hundred meals, I was bullied by a lot of people. I didn't learn anything since I was very young."

"Ha ha-ha, I'm so stunned that I don't want to live. Your words really match your character. Oh right, peace, what business do you have with me?" Zhao Taiheng asked.

"Do you know about the assassination conference?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Assassin's Assembly? I've never heard of it. What's wrong? " Zhao Taiheng asked.

"The assassination assembly is a grand occasion in the world of assassins, and in the assassination conference, you will choose the king of assassins by completing a certain mission. This mission is related to you." Xu Taiping said.

"It has something to do with me? You mean. This mission should be to kill me, right? " Zhao Taiheng asked.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded, and said, "That man was very strong, and very good at disguising himself. He didn't reveal any killing intent from beginning to end, and he is far from someone a normal assassin can compare with. So, that man just now is most likely the one competing for the King of Assassins position."

"So that's how it is. I knew it. Who would be so free to kill me, a researcher?" Zhao Taiheng said with a smile.

"The assassination convention will last for three days. During these three days, many top assassins who want to become the King of Assassins will come to kill you. Therefore, during these three days, no matter if you walk, go to the toilet, or sleep, you will still be in danger of death." Xu Taiping said.

"I got it, thank you for coming over to tell me, but you can just give me a call about this kind of thing, why did you even come over to tell me about it?" Zhao Taiheng smiled.

"You … Don't you feel nervous? " Seeing Zhao Taiheng's relaxed appearance, Xu Taiping could not help but ask.

"Nervous? Why should I be nervous? Have you forgotten what family I come from? The Zhao Family members never fear any kind of challenge, in fact, I have already encountered a few attacks against me recently. According to the analysis of our Zhao Family's intelligence network, there are many people that seem to have teamed up to deal with the Zhao Family. Some attacked the Zhao Family financially, while others attacked the Zhao Family members physically, but so what? "The Zhao Family hasn't fallen for a hundred years. For the past hundred years, even people as strong as the Rothschild Family have collapsed in front of the Zhao Family. As a member of the Zhao Family, how could I be afraid of these attackers?" Zhao Taiheng proudly said.

"In that case, I am relieved!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Actually, there are some things I have to take care of during my trip to the capital. That's why I came to see you and tell you about it."

"You're being considerate." Zhao Taiheng nodded, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!" With that, Xu Taiping turned and left.

"I'll send you off!" As Zhao Taiheng spoke, he sent Xu Taiping out of the door and watched him leave.

Xu Taiping left the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

He needed to weave a huge net around Zhao Taiheng like a spider web to stop anyone trying to harm Zhao Taiheng. If he just wanted to stay by Zhao Taiheng's side, it would give them a chance to get close to Zhao Taiheng. If those killers got close to Zhao Taiheng, even Xu Taiping would not be able to guarantee that he could withstand all of their attacks. Therefore, the best method was to create a sufficiently wide net around Zhao Taiheng.

Xu Taiping believed that after he told Zhao Taiheng about the assassination attempt, the Zhao Family would respond. At that time, the bodyguards would be in charge of protecting Zhao Taiheng, and he only needed to stay far away and hide in the dark like those killers.

Hiding in the shadows, he was far more powerful and terrifying than he was on the surface.

Xu Taiping walked to a building opposite the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He then went to the third floor and found one of the rooms. He opened the door and walked in.

The window of this room faced the main entrance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The room was not big. There was a bed, a table, and several large boxes on the floor.

Xu Taiping closed the door and opened the big boxes.

There were a lot of things stored in those large boxes. There were special surveillance equipment, and even some things that normal people could not identify.

Xu Taiping took out a tablet computer and opened it.

On the display of what looked like a tablet, a satellite map with a red dot on it appeared.

Xu Taiping continued to enlarge the map until an aerial view of the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences appeared.

The red dot was on the bird's eye view. Then, Xu Taiping made a note on the screen and a sound slowly came up from the laptop.

If you listened carefully, you would be able to hear Zhao Taiheng's voice, as well as the voices of others. They seemed to be talking about some sort of project.

Xu Taiping put the laptop to the side, took out a few things that looked like ping pong balls, and turned them all on.

A small propeller came out from these ping-pong balls. Then, with a push from Xu Taiping on his laptop, these ping-pong balls flew out of the window.

Xu Taiping took out another laptop. There were several images on the laptop, all of which were taken by those ping-pong balls that flew out.

Xu Taiping controlled the ping-pong balls like objects and scattered them around the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences. Afterwards, several images on the tablet slowly merged together, finally forming a clear bird's eye view. It was as if a person was standing in the sky above the Chinese Academy of Sciences and looking down.

Xu Taiping was monitoring the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After doing all of this, Xu Taiping took out many things and started setting them up.

Protecting a man was much harder than killing a man. Xu Taiping had done his best to protect Zhao Taiheng. The total value of the equipment he had prepared had already exceeded hundreds of millions of yuan.

After making sure that the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences was under his surveillance, Xu Taiping could finally relax a little. He hung all the tablets on the shelves and then laid on the bed.

Not long after he laid down, Xu Taiping suddenly sat up, picked up a laptop and walked out of his room.
