Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Targeted by Thieves_1 Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Targeted by Thieves_1 It wouldn’t take long for the beauty and skincare industry worldwide to face a crushing and fierce impact from it.

However, with the surge in fame, trouble inevitably followed.

At 2 a.m.

when normal people were asleep,
two figures in black approached the high walls of Yifan Beauty Company’s production base, evading surveillance in the night and stealthily making their way to a corner of the wall.

Both were dressed as night prowlers, with half their faces covered and black hoods on their heads, leaving only their eyes exposed.

Their hands were fitted with fine silk gloves.

The taller figure, muscular and imposing, had a tool belt wrapped around his waist with an array of equipment—flashlights, wrenches, screwdrivers, and more.

His lean companion carried nothing at all.

After exchanging a few hand signals, the lean one took an electrical tester, stepped on the crouching tall one’s clasped hands, who then heaved him up with ease; the lean figure leapt up lightly, tapped the tester swiftly against the wall, and upon landing, gave an OK sign.

The tall one breathed a sigh of relief, again braced himself to lift the lean figure onto the wall, who then perched atop it.

After a running start, the tall figure leapt up high, his outstretched arms quickly grabbed by the lean one, pulling him up onto the wall.

Together, they jumped down inside the wall, surveyed their surroundings for a moment, then cautiously proceeded toward the production workshop.

Arriving at the workshop doorway, they peered through the crack and, seeing no one inside, couldn’t help but reveal a look of joy in their eyes.

However, just as they were about to push the door open, suddenly a voice came from behind: “Are you two sleepwalking?

Got lost, eh?”
Startled, they instinctively lashed out with a spin kick behind them.

“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Two muffled thuds were followed by cries of pain from the figures in black, who instantly drew back their feet and turned to look.

They saw another figure in black who somehow appeared behind them, burly and robust, dressed in a short tight-fitting outfit.

His face, quivering with flesh and trembling with each grin, looked down at them half-amused.

The strong man’s muscles were knotted like bundles ready to explode, clearly indicating immense strength and a powerful physique.

His towering height of nearly six feet three inches cast a shadow over them in the moonlight, emanating an intimidating presence.

“Damn, what the hell is this?”
“What are you spacing out for, run!”
The tall one, in shock, stared at the brawny man, momentarily frozen.

The lean one, however, snapped back to reality instantly, whispered a low call, grabbed his companion’s hand, and turned to run.

It was clear they were no match.

Why wait to be beaten up?

“Haha, guests, won’t you have a smoke before you go?”
The strong man laughed heartily, his foot stomp sending a slight tremor through the ground.

With explosive speed, the strong man caught up to the two figures in black from behind, reaching them before they could react.

His thick arms, filled with terrifying power similar to mechanical limbs, clamped solidly onto the shoulders of both men.

His grip, even through their clothes, pressed deep into their shoulder blades, causing intense pain that left the men in black unable to exert any force.

“Damn!”
The tall figure couldn’t help but curse, attempting to pry the strong man’s fingers upward, but they were as immovable as solid rock.

What’s going on?

Impossible!

Put in more effort!

Ugh…

damn it.

The tall man always prided himself on his strength which was beyond ordinary, but at that moment he couldn’t budge even a single finger of the stout man.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and he couldn’t help feeling apprehensive.

The situation couldn’t have been clearer: this stout man was a master!

The stout man didn’t even regard the two petty thieves as a threat.

Like picking up chicks, he grabbed one with each hand and directly carried them into a dark room.

The two thieves were terrified, flailing their arms and kicking their legs, but they couldn’t break free at all.

When the stout man exerted his strength, it immediately hurt so much that they grimaced in pain and didn’t dare to act rashly anymore.

When they were casually thrown into the dark room, the lights suddenly came on, and then they saw that there were seven or eight fellow trespassers, each tightly bound with dirty socks or rags stuffed into their mouths.

Through the glass window of the adjacent room, they could see several men dressed like the stout man, concentrated on the screens displaying various surveillance feeds, which covered every corner of the production base.

And the two of them had been under surveillance since the moment they appeared outside the wall, and naturally, none of their subsequent actions had escaped these monitors.

“Old Zhou, look, we’ve got two more,” said the stout man, pushing open the door of the adjacent room and grinning.

Old Zhou waved his hand and two men stood up beside him, came out with ropes in hand, and efficiently tied up both the skinny man and the tall man, making sure to stuff their mouths as well.

The skinny man and the tall man felt the aura of these men, and they were instantly alarmed.

Those men in black combat suits, every one of them was skilled.

Any one of them could have easily dealt with the two of them.

This was way too frightening – there were so many formidable ancient martial artists stationed in the production base, seemingly all in the Qi Drawing Realm.

They were just in the physical tempering realm; what the hell were they still doing here?

As they looked at their fellow captives who were tied up, they quickly felt more at ease.

After all, even three Qi Drawing Realm experts had been taken down and treated the same as them.

…

The reason Zhou Xian, Bull Demon, and others were there was primarily because Xu Fan had specially called them over to look after the place.

After all, the products of Yifan Beauty Company were highly coveted, making it hard not to attract the attention of others.

Those with guts would assuredly take the risk to break into the base to steal products or formulas.

The security team was divided into three squads, each stationed there for several days before rotating out.

The squads that had completed their stint would continue with intensive training.

Through this period of intensive training, many members of the Yifan Security team had entered the Qi Drawing Realm.

Zhou Xian and Bull Demon among others had even reached the late stages of Qi Drawing, more than capable for major responsibilities.

Furthermore, Qingyun Sect and Night Castle had also dispatched quite a few key members to be in charge of the security work in the production area.

“The boss is really good at anticipating the enemy’s moves, knowing that some scoundrels would target the factory area, hence he arranged for us to come in advance,” Zhou Xian said with a light smile.

“Bull Demon, why don’t you take a break, and I’ll take over for you.”
With a cheerful wave of his hand, the stout Bull Demon walked energetically to the wall, picked up a pair of dumbbells, and began to exercise while saying, “These guys have really got some nerve, but it’s a pity they’re only thieves, not our real enemies.

Otherwise, I could’ve had some fun with them.

By the way, what do you think the boss will do with these pests?”
“The boss is a businessman; he won’t kill recklessly.

He’ll probably just call the police to take them away,” Zhou Xian answered offhandedly.

“That’s letting them off easy,” said Bull Demon, feeling it wasn’t satisfactory, but upon further thought, he realized they couldn’t really do much to these pests.

“It’s a good thing that the boss is strong enough himself, having killed Patriarch Qin, deterring most ancient martial artists, ensuring those ancient martial powerhouses don’t dare to easily stir trouble in Zhonghai.

So what we need to be cautious of are just these scoundrels beneath the level of Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Still, it’s better to be cautious.

Hmm, I’m going to take a walk outside,” said security team leader Song Qingshan.

“Fine, be careful,” Zhou Xian nodded.

“Got it!”
Before long, Song Qingshan called two brothers and set off on their patrol.
