Seeing Xu Xiangbei covered in blood, dust all over, and his clothes soaked, looking extremely disheveled, Jenny joked with a teasing smile, "Our President Xu actually got injured, that’s really strange."

Xu Xiangbei glared at Jenny with annoyance, "Don’t you have any sympathy? I’m injured and you’re making fun of me. I’m not a god; I’m a human, and humans get hurt."

Jenny apologized with a smile, "Sorry, I just didn’t expect you to get hurt. In my mind, you’re like a god. Is the injury serious? Do you want me to send someone to take you to the hospital?"

The wound stung with pain, but not much blood was flowing. Xu Xiangbei knew it was just a scrape, nothing too serious. As long as he treated the wound simply to prevent infection, it would be fine.

"No need for the hospital, just need to treat the wound."

"You’d better change your clothes. They’re too dirty and soaked, you’ll catch a cold like this. After treating the wound and changing, go with Ah Rong to my office to give a statement."

"Okay, my Sherlock Holmes Jenny, I’ll definitely comply."

Xu Xiangbei saw Iron Head standing in the hall, smoking with a worried face. Boss Peng had entrusted him with managing the Crown KTV, but now the performance hall was blown to ruins, which made him very sad, even though it wasn’t his fault.

"Do you have any gauze or hemostatic medicine? I need to take care of my wound. Also, give me a cigarette."

Iron Head, unable to hide his gloomy expression, handed Xu Xiangbei a cigarette and lit it for him, "There’s a first aid kit in the security room with medicine for treating external injuries. Follow me, Dr. Xu."

Seeing Iron Head’s dejected look, Xu Xiangbei sympathetically asked, "Why the long face?"

Iron Head sighed, "I spent more than a hundred thousand on that performance hall, and it’s completely destroyed. Several people died too; it will definitely affect future business."

Xu Xiangbei, feeling a bit guilty, said, "I’m sorry, these guys were after me. I didn’t expect them to bring guns and explosives."

"Sigh, it’s not your fault. Those assassins are the ones to blame. It seems we need to install a metal detector at the entrance from now on to detect anyone bringing weapons."

Xu Xiangbei comforted Iron Head, "Don’t worry about the business. Just renovate the place and advertise some promotions. It won’t take long for this place to become popular again."

Under Xu Xiangbei’s comfort, Iron Head’s expression improved, with a slight smile, as he cooperated with Jenny to pull surveillance footage, record statements, and busily moved around.

In the security room, Ah Rong cleaned Xu Xiangbei’s wound with alcohol. The alcohol felt cool on the wound, and Ah Rong’s slender, white hands made it hard to believe they handled a gun.

"Your shooting skills are impressive. If you hadn’t arrived timely, they’d probably have shot me.

After applying the medicine and bandaging the wound, Ah Rong said with a reproachful tone, "You were too careless, surrounded and didn’t even notice? Your vigilance is lacking."

Xu Xiangbei smiled. His attention had been entirely on Qi Girl, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been surrounded so easily. It was thanks to Qi Girl’s reminder that he noticed the ambush of those assassins.

Ouyang Jiahui, Gu Xinyan, and the others, frightened and flustered, gathered around. Gu Xinyan, looking tense, held Xu Xiangbei’s hand, "Brother Xu, what happened? I heard there was an assassination attempt on you?"

Due to Gu Xinyan’s pulling, she tugged at his wound, making Xu Xiangbei wince slightly. He gently held Gu Xinyan’s hand and comforted her softly, "Some people tried to hurt me, but they were killed by their own bomb."

Xiao Lin, who feared blood, looked at Xu Xiangbei’s bleeding wound, "Brother Xu, you’re hurt! Is it serious?"

"Just a scratch, nothing serious."

Xu Xiangbei told Lu Xiaomei and Ouyang Jiahui, "Take Miss Gu back first. I may need to give a statement to the police. It’s chaotic here, not suitable for you guys."

Gu Xinyan and the others said their goodbyes to Xu Xiangbei and returned to the Purple Gold Villa, leaving Xu Xiangbei and Ah Rong behind.

The Crown KTV performance hall was completely destroyed by the explosion, leaving ruins everywhere and several mutilated bodies.

A police line was set up at the entrance, barring entry. Xu Xiangbei and Ah Rong found Jenny at the entrance.

Jenny approached and told Xu Xiangbei, "Xu Xiangbei, go change your clothes. They’re soaked. After changing, go to the office with Ah Rong to give a statement."

A police officer reported to Jenny, "Captain Jenny, we found five bodies, no other injured, the forensics team is arriving soon."

Jenny commanded the officer, "Officer Zhang, set up a police cordon around the area, and see if there are any more important clues to discover."

Upon hearing about the five bodies, Xu Xiangbei stopped Jenny, surprised, "Five bodies? How? There were six assassins, I remember clearly. Did you miss one?"

Jenny smiled faintly, "We didn’t miss it. We’ve searched every corner of the hall. Unless that body can turn invisible, I trust you’re not lying. Six assassins, five bodies, clearly one escaped."

Xu Xiangbei harshly threw the cigarette under his foot, putting it out, puzzled, "One got away? Too cunning. I remember taking them all down."

"There’s always a fish that escapes the net. I suspect that explosion was his blinding technique for escape, making you think they all died in the blast, so you’d lower your guard. Unfortunately, before they acted, all the surveillance videos here were destroyed."

"Can I go in and see who escaped?"

"Go ahead, the bodies are marked. Just don’t move them."

Xu Xiangbei walked into the performance hall, reconfirmed the bodies, and immediately noticed that the tall, thin guy who fought with Qi Girl and got knocked out by her was not there. Obviously, he escaped with Qi Girl.

Xu Xiangbei and Ah Rong accompanied Jenny to the police station. Although it was almost midnight, the station was brightly lit, with everyone working overtime, bustling with activity.

The Crown KTV was a major case, and all the guests that night were invited to the police station for statements. For those who couldn’t come, someone was dispatched to collect them.

Apart from the assassination attempt on Xu Xiangbei, another case occurred at Crown KTV in recent days.

The Crown KTV office safe was opened, and Boss Peng’s favorite paintings and calligraphy were stolen.

Xu Xiangbei could only smile wryly to himself. No doubt, it was Qi Girl’s doing. This girl didn’t become a pole dancer at Crown KTV out of a fleeting interest.
