A small interlude occurred during the press conference, and actually, Zhou Xun was not even aware of the major crisis that just took place! If Lin Mu hadn't tampered with the sniper rifle a few days ago, Zhou Xun would have been in mortal danger today! Lin Mu was somewhat worried, realizing that the real target wasn't him, but Zhou Xun!

Zhou Xun is just a modest woman, how could she be competitive enough to offend others? And the opponent's strength is so overwhelming, who would go to such lengths to kill a girl like Zhou Xun? What kind of deep hatred is there against Zhou Xun? In fact, Lin Mu wished the target was himself instead; at least he has some ability to protect himself, while Zhou Xun, being just a young girl, has no capacity to defend against a dangerous enemy!

After the press conference, President Ren and Zhou Xun returned to their room. However, Ren Yinsong and that cold man stayed to handle the minor issues that arose during the press conference!

Once back in the room, Lin Mu sat down with Ren Changfeng. Lin Mu felt it was necessary to discuss the assassination attempt on Zhou Xun with Elder Ren. Lin Mu had no leads except for the Right Army, who had fled and was nowhere to be found—a frightened bird, hard to locate!

Zhou Xun's social circle is so small, consisting of family and her advertising company. There's definitely no issue at home, so the problem must be with the advertising company! Ren Changfeng is, after all, Zhou Xun's grandfather, and with such a major incident, he would surely be anxious to investigate. Since it's related to the advertising company, Ren Changfeng might know something!

"Elder, there's something I'm unsure if I should mention?" Lin Mu said, glancing at Master Ren.

"Haha, Lin Mu, since when did you become so wishy-washy? Just say what's on your mind, we aren't outsiders!" Ren Changfeng laughed.

"In that case, I'll just come out with it. During the press conference just now, someone attempted to assassinate Zhou Xun. One is dead, and the other has fled!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun and Ren Changfeng both widened their eyes in shock, evidently unaware of the danger earlier!

"Someone tried to assassinate me?" Zhou Xun pointed at her nose in surprise and asked.

"Yes, do you remember the last person who tried to assassinate me?"

"I remember, but wasn't their target you?" Zhou Xun questioned.

"I initially thought their target was me, plotting to kill me, but today's incident was aimed at you. I only decided to attend the press conference last night, so they could not have known. The opponent was well-prepared, clearly having planned this days in advance. This was definitely a premediated assassination!" Lin Mu analyzed succinctly.

Elder Ren held a cigarette, furrowing his brows, evidently shocked by this affair. After finally finding his long-lost granddaughter, someone now wanted to assassinate her. Elder Ren was filled with anger.

"Lin Mu, what do you think about this matter?" Elder Ren asked.

"Elder, Xiaoxun's social circle is small, primarily at home and with the advertising company. She has no external enemies, and you know her character; she wouldn't antagonize anyone significant. The problem must stem from the advertising company. Given the situation, the opposition isn't a minor figure, and there must be a significant conflict of interest with Xiaoxun, otherwise, they wouldn't take such drastic measures—it even involved a sniper rifle!" Lin Mu commented.

Elder Ren's brows furrowed slightly after Lin Mu's explanation, like he realized something, "Could it be?"

There was something Lin Mu and Zhou Xun didn't know: Elder Ren had recently decided to transfer all his assets to Zhou Xun to make up for lost time with her over the years!

The extent of Elder Ren's assets is unimaginable, amounting to nearly two billion in total—a fortune. Anyone would be envious of such wealth, enough for a family to live in luxury for generations!

Regarding the inheritance, Elder Ren called a family meeting. Due to his high prestige, no one dared to oppose. Even if they did, it was futile; Elder Ren had everything planned and was merely notifying everyone. In this family, Elder Ren's word was law.

As a fellow heir, with all of Elder Ren's assets shifted to Zhou Xun, how would the other heirs feel? Aside from his deceased son, Elder Ren had two other sons: Ren Yinsong and the exceedingly cold Ren Xuebai. Ren Yinsong had no objection because he had substantial assets, so he wasn't enticed by his father's wealth, but Ren Xuebai was different; he was greedy and inflexible over property matters, often quarreling with Elder Ren over this!

As a direct heir, he believed the assets should go to him after Elder Ren's passing. How could they be transferred to his long-lost granddaughter? Although Elder Ren claimed it was compensation, Ren Xuebai thought his grandfather was out of his mind!

Over this, Ren Xuebai hired the Right Army and Left Army, two assassins from the underworld, intending to eliminate Zhou Xun. Only by removing her could the assets promised to her go to him!

After Lin Mu's simple analysis and taking into account earlier events, Elder Ren suspected Ren Xuebai. If true, it would indeed fill Elder Ren with rage and pain! They were of the same blood, why such urgency to oppose?

Elder Ren's hands seemed pained regardless of which way the blow fell. Lin Mu noticed the elder's unusual expression, and quickly asked, "Elder, what's wrong?"

Elder Ren waved his hand, "It's nothing, I'm old and maybe getting senile."

"Elder, what's your view of this situation?" Lin Mu asked.

"Lin Mu, worry not, I will treat this as a major issue. I will definitely ensure Xiaoxun's safety!" Elder Ren assured.

Lin Mu looked at Elder Ren, clearly sensing he was withholding something. Did Elder Ren know the inside story? But since he chose not to disclose, there was no point in pressing for answers!
