Chapter 672: Immortality

In a plain-looking official residence in Stronghold 31 of the Kong Consortium, a group of people in military uniforms were waiting outside the main hall. All of them were holding a document in their hands, as if waiting to give a report on their work.

They were standing outside the main hall and staring at the mahogany-colored wooden door in front of them. The room inside was completely soundproofed by this thick wooden door.

The officers were standing there solemnly even though some chairs had been placed outside for them to sit on. However, it was a little special today. Because of the incident in Luoyang City, the boss was in a very bad mood, so no one outside dared to sit down.

At this moment, a young man walked in from outside the official residence. When he saw the others standing around, he smiled and looked for the butler. “How many bowls of rice did the boss eat today?”

When the officers inside the residence saw the young man, they all greeted him softly. It was as though this young man’s standing in the Kong Consortium was very high.

When the butler saw the young man, he said softly with a kind smile, “The boss hasn’t eaten yet today.”

The young man smirked. “No wonder these people dare not sit down.”

“You be careful too. The boss is in a terrible mood,” The butler reminded him.

“It’s none of my business.” The young man said with a smile, “It’s not like I was involved in the matter in Luoyang City. If I were there, I would definitely not have fallen into Wang Wenyan’s trap. Old Liu, brew a new pot of Da Hong Pao[1] for me. I’ll bring it in for the boss.”

“Alright.” The butler nodded.

Actually, even the butler did not dare to breathe too loudly inside the residence. When his boss was in a bad mood, he was even more terrifying than the rumors said.

It was said that Kong Erdong, the director of the intelligence agency, was a ruthless person. Others would kill people when they got angry, but he would get angry if he did not get to kill people.

When the tea was ready, the butler handed it to the young man on a tray. But when the young man was about to enter the room, the butler pulled him back. “Wang Yun, you had better not speak carelessly today.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” the young man known as Wang Yun said with a smile.

Wang Yun pushed open the door and stepped into the main hall with the tray in hand. The officers outside were visibly relieved. It seemed as though once this young man named Wang Yun went in, the disaster they were facing today would be averted.

When Kong Erdong saw that someone had pushed open the door and walked in, his expression darkened. But when he saw it was Wang Yun, he reined in his temper and said slowly, “When did you get back? Did everything go smoothly? Have you found out what happened?”

“I got back this morning.” Wang Yun said with a smile, “When I heard that you were angry, I quickly came over to pay my respects to you. Please have some tea first.”

Kong Erdong glanced at him. “The matter in Luoyang City has been handled badly. After four or five years of planning, it has gone up in smoke. Even if it’s me, I’ll have to face the wrath of the big boss above.”

“I’ve already investigated the matter thoroughly.” Wang Yun said, “I just returned from Luoyang City, and to be honest, Second Brother Kong wasn’t to blame. There were two reasons for this failure.”
