The Lujing-class guided-missile destroyer seized the Seawolf-class attack submarine as if it had fallen from the sky onto the sea, but at that moment, Liu Hui was completely unaware; he was accompanying Director Sun, surveying the site of the exchange of fire.

"Boss Liu, your security personnel are truly this formidable? To actually break a man's neck with their bare hands? And, and, you even have snipers—every shot a headshot. I doubt even a master marksman could do better! Look here, this massive pile of shell casings on the ground suggests those men in black fired a great many rounds. Your security personnel were within their firing range, yet only a few sustained minor injuries from stray bullets. Are you truly this capable?" Director Sun strolled casually with Liu Hui, immediately noticing several unusual things.

"Director Sun, those security personnel make their living through combat; if they weren't skilled, how could they survive? Our Vice President Huang is ex-special forces, so his marksmanship is naturally accurate. Fortunately, he eliminated the enemy sniper first and seized his rifle, using it to take down some of those men in black; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Furthermore, look, to seize that rifle, our Manager Huang was shot in the arm by the sniper..." Liu Hui explained cautiously. Coincidentally, the sniper had also been using a Barrett rifle, so he attributed the elimination of the men in black entirely to Huang Huali.

Director Sun nodded, touching the large hole in the wall. "It seems your security team truly harbors hidden talents, with masters among them. Look at this wall; it's so solid, yet your people managed to punch such a large hole in it."

Liu Hui laughed, "Director Sun, that hole in the wall was made by the enemy."

Director Sun managed an awkward smile. "It seems the enemy was formidable as well, but you were ultimately stronger, since you eliminated them all."

The two casually observed the surroundings as they walked. Wu Yuanjia, quick and deft, had already taken measures to process the scene, destroying anything too sensational. Apart from discovering the corpses of the men in black, the police found nothing overly outlandish at the site.

As dawn broke, the police concluded their survey of the scene. Chief Superintendent Ma and Wu Yuanjia were completing the handover procedures for the recovered items. The police loaded the bodies of the men in black and their personal effects onto the white vans, including the machine guns and grenades confiscated by the security personnel. Given the current situation of Xingkong Group, Chief Superintendent Ma agreed to Liu Hui and Wu Yuanjia choosing another time to give their statements at the police station.

As a precaution, Director Sun left some police officers to patrol the vicinity of the factory grounds, though their routes remained outside the perimeter, not entering the complex itself.

Once Director Sun and Chief Superintendent Ma departed, Liu Hui summoned Wu Yuanjia and Huang Huali to discuss matters.

"Manager Wu, please brief us first on our losses."

"Boss, I apologize. It was entirely due to my carelessness in overlooking a potential attack from the sea that caused huge losses to the company." Wu Yuanjia offered his apology first, deeply ashamed. Since taking charge of security, he had been breached three times, a massive blow to his confidence.

"Manager Wu, there's no need to blame yourself. To use an old saying, 'It's not that brothers didn't try hard, but that the enemy was too cunning.' I was also remiss in not anticipating a maritime assault and failing to acquire patrol speedboats and other necessary coastal defense facilities. I share responsibility for today's events," Liu Hui stated. He knew clearly that the attackers tonight had been dispatched by the U.S. government. Analyzing the situation where the U.S. government deployed a Seawolf-class attack submarine to aid the escape of those men in black suggested that they were likely one of America's most elite special forces units—either Delta Force or Navy SEALs. The fact that the SEALs had eliminated Bin Laden in Pakistan just days ago demonstrated the immense capability of these two special forces. Even if Wu Yuanjia had noticed the sea approach, resisting their attack would likely have been impossible. If Liu Hui hadn't been present today, relying only on King Kong's might, those men in black might well have succeeded.

Liu Hui comforted Wu Yuanjia, but he couldn't disclose the fact that the men in black were the U.S. elite special forces, as knowing that might further erode Wu Yuanjia's confidence.

"Boss, we were fortunate to survive thanks to the help of your friends. However, our own brothers performed admirably too; they faced those men in black bravely, and apart from a few grazes from stray bullets, the others are unharmed. Only some of the factory buildings sustained damage, and a few family members were frightened," Wu Yuanjia reported.

"Very good. Last time at Bashan Hantang Hospital, we lost two of our brothers. This time, they only sustained injuries, which shows they have improved significantly," Liu Hui affirmed. He knew how formidable those men in black were, so he deliberately highlighted the fact that none of the security personnel had died, fearing a blow to Wu Yuanjia's morale.

"Boss, our primary disadvantage tonight was the lack of weaponry. If all our security personnel were equipped with firearms, those men in black wouldn't have been able to completely suppress us. Even without your friends' intervention, we would have been confident in holding the perimeter and awaiting rescue," Huang Huali added from the side, clearly feeling aggrieved. In his eyes, the personnel he trained were excellent; their performance was simply hampered by the lack of weapons support.

"Regarding weapons, I already discussed it with Director Sun of the Police Bureau, and he agreed to follow up with them to see if we can expedite the approval process for our gun licenses. Once you're done here, maintain close contact with Director Sun to see if they can make a special arrangement," Liu Hui instructed.

"With weapons in hand, our security work can certainly reach a new level; we won't have to fear anyone," Huang Huali declared.

"Even with weapons, you cannot afford to let your guard down too much. Tonight's events tell us that as our enterprise grows, our enemies will become stronger. What if the small team tonight is replaced by an entire battalion tomorrow? What then? Ultimately, we must continue to strengthen our capabilities. I have decided that starting today, the security company will intensify recruitment efforts; we must expand the scale of our security firm. Moreover, any security personnel who pass the vetting process and prove trustworthy will all receive injections of the Body Evolution Fluid to comprehensively enhance their strength." Liu Hui announced.

Wu Yuanjia and Huang Huali quickly jotted down what Liu Hui said, preparing to implement the changes immediately. After this attack, they truly grasped the shortcomings in their security operations; they had much work ahead to improve.

"Manager Huang, is your hand alright?" Liu Hui inquired.

"Thank you for your concern, Boss. The bullet passed through without hitting bone; it should heal in a few days," Huang Huali replied. He had already received rudimentary bandaging from the medical staff and was using a sling to support his arm.

"How is Director Chen? What did the doctor say?" Liu Hui continued to ask. Chen Changsheng was extremely important, and Liu Hui had invested heavily in him, hoping nothing serious had happened.

"Boss, please rest assured. When I went to have my wound dressed, the medical staff said Director Chen was only injected with a tranquilizer and fell unconscious. He should fully awaken tonight. The anesthetic used by those men in black seems very advanced, causing no adverse effects on Director Chen's body," Huang Huali assured him.

"It's good that he's fine," Liu Hui sighed in relief, then added, "Immediately notify the office: the entire company gets a day off today. Your security company must use this holiday to thoroughly investigate all security vulnerabilities within the company; we must prevent similar incidents from happening again."

"Boss, we'll attend to it right away," Wu Yuanjia and Huang Huali responded.

As Wu Yuanjia was about to leave, he remembered something. He stopped, walked back, and placed a stack of photographs on the desk in front of Liu Hui.

"This is..." Liu Hui flipped through the stack of photos, which showed himself, Mei Peng, and Chen Changsheng.

"Boss, I recovered these from those men in black," Wu Yuanjia stated.

"I see. Their targets were actually the three of us. So the reason for their arrival is very clear: to kidnap those in our company who might hold the secret of 'Xingkong Myopia Elixir.' And the three of us are the most likely to possess that secret," Liu Hui rubbed his nose thoughtfully.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Wu Yuanjia asked.

"Don't panic. We just need to strengthen our defenses. By the way, did the police find these photos during their search?"

"No, I hid these photos early on."

"Good. You may go now."

Liu Hui had been busy all night, enduring intense fighting, and was extremely exhausted. He returned home, first comforting his parents thoroughly, and then slept soundly. When he awoke, it was already evening. After a full day of rest, his depleted energy was replenished, and he felt refreshed and vigorous again.

Liu Hui then resumed the two essential tasks he performed daily. First, he searched for coordinates on the Planar Trading Device according to a set pattern, hoping to find new traders from other planes. Second, he practiced the Heaven and Earth True Scripture. Yesterday evening's assault made him realize the gap in his own strength. If he truly reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he could defeat that gigantic Vajra creature even without using the Cold Flame Burning Bomb. After all, his own power was his truest reliance. He had been in the Entry stage for some time, and recently, relying on the superior-grade spirit stones converted by Xiaoyaozi, his cultivation speed had advanced by leaps and bounds, elevating him to a genuine top-tier master. However, he was still quite a distance from the Foundation Establishment stage.

The next morning, Liu Hui arrived at his office full of spirit. As soon as he sat down, he instinctively reached for a cup of tea on his desk and took a sip.

"Hmm, this flavor... could it be..." Liu Hui's heart leaped with joy as he noticed a small saucer next to the desk, containing some exquisite pastries.

"Xian'er, Xian'er!" Liu Hui called out loudly. The exquisite pastries and the distinctive tea instantly made him realize that Hu Xian'er had returned.

"Boss, you called for me?" Hu Xian'er entered.

"Xian'er, you're finally back. I'm so glad," Liu Hui smiled, picking up a pastry, biting into it, and savoring the taste carefully.

Hu Xian'er watched Liu Hui's contented expression and felt genuinely happy. But her joy quickly turned to concern. "Boss, the company was attacked yesterday. Are you unharmed?"

"Heh heh, Xian'er, thank you for your concern. Yesterday's attack is over, and I wasn't hurt, so don't worry," Liu Hui assured her. He was quite pleased that Hu Xian'er cared for him. Moreover, judging by her demeanor, she probably rushed back to work only after hearing about the company's attack.

"It's a relief that you're alright, Boss. I'll get back to my work," Hu Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

"Xian'er, wait a moment," Liu Hui called out.

"What is it, is something wrong?" Hu Xian'er asked.

"Xian'er, what did you think about that trip we talked about before?" Liu Hui inquired.

"Boss, you meant it? You weren't joking with me?" Hu Xian'er exclaimed happily.

"Of course, I was serious. I’ve been waiting for you to make the arrangements. I thought you had forgotten," Liu Hui confirmed.

"How about tomorrow? Are you free tomorrow? Oh, wait, that might not work. The company just went through something like this; you must be very busy," Hu Xian'er said tomorrow, then suddenly recalled Liu Hui's current situation.

"Heh heh, the company matters are handled by the people below me. I can certainly carve out a day," Liu Hui smiled.

"But after what the company just experienced, running off like that, won't it be dangerous for you, Boss?" Hu Xian'er remained worried.

"Heh heh, don't worry. Our security personnel are very capable. With them here, those bad guys won't dare approach. Besides, I'll put on a little makeup so people won't recognize me," Liu Hui said.

"Will that really work?" Hu Xian'er asked.

"That will certainly solve it. Let's set the date for tomorrow then. Where should we meet?" Liu Hui grinned.

"I need to think about that. I'll let you know when I get off work," Hu Xian'er was overjoyed that Liu Hui was willing to make time for her; all her worries vanished as she began planning where they should go.

"Very well, I'll wait for your confirmation."

The next morning, Liu Hui set off for Hong Kong Disneyland under the protection of two cars, one preceding and one following. He was in high spirits today, casually chatting with the security personnel driving.

"You drive very well; the ride is quite smooth. What’s your name?"

"Boss, my name is Ah Huo."

"You must be one of the veterans from Bashan days, who followed me to Hong Kong later, right?" Liu Hui asked.

"Boss, you remember correctly. I was already under your command back when we were at Hantang Hospital," Ah Huo replied.

"How have you been doing in Hong Kong? Are you accustomed to it?"

"It’s quite good. The environment here is much better than in Bashan. I just miss home a little; my hometown is in Jidong." Ah Huo admitted.

"Oh, your families haven't been brought to Hong Kong yet, but that's just a short-term issue. I've already spoken with the SAR Chief Executive about this. He can arrange for your families to reside in Hong Kong temporarily first. After residing for a certain period, they can then apply for Hong Kong residency and become Hong Kong citizens, allowing you to be together."

"Boss, thank you so much. What you've done for us is truly beyond repayment," Ah Huo said gratefully. He could never have imagined his current superior working conditions, or even the possibility of his family joining him in Hong Kong; this filled him with immense gratitude toward Liu Hui.

"Heh heh, you are all good brothers who have shared hardship and prosperity with me. How could I treat you poorly?" Liu Hui laughed.

Ah Huo then concentrated on driving. As the car rounded a bend, Ah Huo spoke quietly, "Boss, we've arrived at Disneyland. Miss Hu is just ahead."

Liu Hui looked out the window and saw Hu Xian'er standing gracefully at the entrance of the Disney park, dressed in a white dress that revealed a pair of fair calves, carrying a small bag on her back, looking completely fresh. As she saw Liu Hui's car approaching, she hurried over.

Seeing Hu Xian'er about to call out to him, Liu Hui smiled. "Xian'er, I'm not the Boss today. I hope you'll call me by a friend's name."

Hu Xian'er paused. "But if I don't call you Boss, what should I call you?"

Liu Hui smiled. "I don't care what, just not 'Boss'."

Hu Xian'er put her fingernail to her mouth, bit it lightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "I’ve got it! How about I call you Water Buffalo?"

"Heh heh, Water Buffalo, that's a great name. I like it very much," Liu Hui laughed.

"Water Buffalo, your makeup is well done! If I didn't see you every day, I almost wouldn't have recognized you," Hu Xian'er teased. Liu Hui had altered his appearance significantly with makeup before leaving, making it genuinely difficult for strangers to recognize him at first glance.

"Xian'er, let's go have fun together. To be honest, I've never been to Disneyland," Liu Hui said, stepping out of the car. His bodyguards immediately bought the tickets and handed them to him.

"Okay! This is my first time at Disneyland too!" Hu Xian'er took Liu Hui's hand naturally and headed toward the turnstiles.

Liu Hui was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure. He followed Hu Xian'er through the entrance into the park. His bodyguards also entered, dispersing around him, vigilantly observing any suspicious individuals nearby.

"Xian'er, you're a Hong Kong local, so why haven't you been to Disneyland before?" Liu Hui asked curiously.

"My mother passed away when I was very young, and my father was always busy. Furthermore, for my safety, he didn't allow me to wander freely. So, I really have never been to the Hong Kong Disneyland," Hu Xian'er revealed her background to Liu Hui for the first time.

Seeing Hu Xian'er's mood turn slightly somber, Liu Hui immediately said, "Look at that roller coaster over there. I’ve never ridden one. Let’s go try it together!"

"Okay, okay!" Hu Xian'er instantly adjusted her mood, cheering excitedly.

The two bought tickets and boarded the roller coaster. The ride was indeed thrilling; they screamed along with the other riders. At one point, Hu Xian'er was so frightened she burrowed into Liu Hui's embrace. In that moment, Liu Hui suddenly felt a sense: staying by Hu Xian'er's side and continuing like this would be a very good choice.

When Liu Hui and Hu Xian'er got off the roller coaster, Hu Xian'er's cheeks were flushed, and she clung to Liu Hui's hand, excitedly recounting her fear. Liu Hui watched her with a smile.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed past Liu Hui’s eyes. He looked over and saw a young couple walking side-by-side, holding hands, their expressions intimate.

Liu Hui recognized the woman. She was quite young, the little loli who had always stayed close to Wei Chao. The man beside her was a handsome young fellow who seemed to be telling her a funny joke, making the little loli giggle sweetly and lightly hit the young man's arm, completely unlike the taciturn girl around Wei Chao.

Liu Hui was startled. Wasn't this little
