Chapter 673 - Assassination (1/2)
“Boss, he might’ve lived for over 200 years,” Wang Yun cautiously phrased his words, “but you should consider this as well. The other Experimentals have also lived for over 200 years, but what kind of ghastly appearances do they have to live with?”
Kong Erdong shot a glance at Wang Yun. “Alright, point taken. You’ll lead a team to the North this time and watch from the sidelines while the Anjing House, the Wang Consortium, and the Pyro Company fight among themselves. If there’s a chance, bring this No. 001 Experimental back to me.”
As the saying goes, being in the king’s company is tantamount to living with a tiger. Wang Yun, who was favored just a second ago, could feel a hint of annoyance from Kong Erdong at this moment.
When his boss lost his temper, everyone would always invite Wang Yun over. As long as Wang Yun were here, he would have his way to make Boss Kong happy. That was because he was capable of solving many difficult problems.
But now, Wang Yun could feel that Boss Kong was so obsessed with the No. 001 Experimental that he refused to listen to any suggestions.
He had had something more important to report. But now it seemed that he should wait for a while first.
Wang Yun said respectfully, “Understood. I’ll definitely bring this Experimental back to the Kong Consortium for you.”
Kong Erdong stood up. “Mhm, I still have to go over to my boss’s residence to discuss some important matters, so I won’t ask you to stay for lunch. Get ready to set off as soon as possible.”
“OK.” Wang Yun went to the coat rack and took Kong Erdong’s coat down for him. “How many men do you suggest I bring along?”
“You can decide for yourself. I trust your ability. Just bring as many people as you deem fit.” Kong Erdong put on his coat and walked out without looking back.
As for the officers who were waiting outside the main hall, they had waited for nothing this time.
When Kong Erdong walked out, the officers all stood to attention with their heads lowered. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
The butler gave Wang Yun a probing look, but Wang Yun just smiled wryly and shook his head.
A convoy of black cars were already waiting outside the entrance. Kong Erdong’s schedule had already been arranged by his secretary.
As the convoy drove down Tongji Road towards Zhenghe Avenue, police cars led ahead while vehicles full of bodyguards escorted from behind.
However, Kong Erdong was not going to meet Kong Donghai, the head of the Kong Consortium. After the convoy passed Zhenghe Avenue, Kong Erdong’s car turned into a small road by itself. A stunning young lady was waiting for him there.
When the car arrived and stopped, it was the only vehicle left in the convoy. There were also only two bodyguards left, and they went to stand guard at the front and the back of the villa.
The woman was already waiting at the door. She looked at Kong Erdong, whose hair had already grayed, and grumbled with a grin, “Why did you just get here? You don’t miss me anymore?”
When Kong Erdong saw this young woman, the worries on his mind seemed to dissipate completely. He brushed his finger on the woman’s nose lightly. “You greedy little kitten.”
The two of them entered the house. As this villa was very secluded, he did not have to worry about getting seen by anyone.
When he pulled open the villa’s door, it made a creak. Kong Erdong frowned and said, “It’s time to replace the door.”
The woman said aggrievedly, “Isn’t that because I’ve run out of money? Look, it’s about time to renovate this house. There was even a leak in the attic a few days ago.”
Kong Erdong laughed. “You’re always asking for money in all kinds of ways.”
As the two of them walked into the living room, the woman reached out to unbutton Kong Erdong’s shirt. But right at this moment, the crystal chandelier hanging above the living room suddenly rattled. Kong Erdong looked up in shock and saw that the screws at the base of the chandelier had come loose.
The woman screamed and dodged. Kong Erdong wanted to dodge too, but he was too old and did not have the same agility as when he was younger.
With a loud crash, Kong Erdong got pinned under the huge chandelier. As deep purple blood flowed out onto the floor, Kong Erdong’s legs were still trembling underneath it.
