In a plain official residence in the Kong Clan's Stronghold 31, a group of people in military uniforms were waiting outside the main hall. Each of them was holding a document in their hands as though they were waiting to report on their work.
They stood outside the main hall and looked at the thick, dark red wooden door in front of them. The sounds inside were completely blocked out by the wooden door.
The officers stood solemnly. Although there were chairs outside for them to rest, today was a little special. Due to the incident in Luoyang City, the boss was in a very bad mood, so no one outside dared to sit down.
At this moment, another young man walked in from outside the official residence. When he saw the others standing, he smiled and asked the butler, "How many bowls of rice did the boss eat today?"
When the officers inside saw the young man, they greeted him softly. It seemed this young man had a very high status.
Seeing that the young man was also very friendly, the butler whispered, "The boss hasn't eaten today."
The young man laughed. "I was wondering why these people didn't dare to sit down."
"You be careful too. The boss is in a very bad mood," the butler reminded him.
"What does that have to do with me?" The young man said with a smile, "I wasn't the one who handled the incident in Luoyang City. If I had gone, I definitely wouldn't have been tricked by that kid, Wang Wenyan. Old Liu, brew a new pot of Da Hong Pao tea. I'll bring it in for the boss later. "
"Sure." The butler nodded.
In fact, the butler did not even dare to breathe loudly in the official residence. When the boss was in a bad mood, he was even scarier than the rumors said.
It was said that Kong Erdong, who was in charge of intelligence at the Kong Clan, was extremely ruthless. Other people would kill people if they got angry, but he would get angry if he did not kill anyone.
When the butler was done brewing the tea, he handed it to the young man along with the tray. But when the young man was about to enter the house, the butler stopped him again. "Wang Yun, don't be so rude today."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," the young man named Wang Yun said with a smile.
At this moment, Wang Yun pushed open the door and entered the main hall with the tray in one hand. The officers outside heaved a sigh of relief. It was as though their disaster today would be over once this young man named Wang Yun entered.
When Kong Erdong, who was inside, saw someone push open the door and come in, his expression darkened. But when he saw it was Wang Yun, he suppressed his temper and said slowly, "When did you get back? Did everything go smoothly? Did you find out what happened? "
"I came back this morning." Wang Yun said with a smile, "As soon as I heard that you were angry, I hurried over to greet you. Please have some tea first."
Kong Erdong glanced at him. "The matter in Luoyang City was a mess. Four to five years of planning actually failed overnight. Even I have to face the wrath of that big boss."
"I've investigated this matter." Wang Yun said, "I just came back from Luoyang City. Second Brother Kong actually didn't do anything wrong. There were two reasons why this matter failed."
Kong Erdong did not say anything. He just waited for Wang Yun to continue.
"The first reason is that Wang Wenyan, who the Wang Clan has been hiding all this time, is indeed a supernatural being. Moreover, there were a lot of strange things about the Wang Clan's operation this time, including the battle on Wangchunmen Boulevard. Most of the people who escaped were also superhumans from the Wang Clan. It was as though they had planned to escape from the beginning and did not expect to kill Xu Ke in that battle." Wang Yun said, "Wang Wenyan is a very powerful opponent. I'm 80% sure that Wang Wenyan was responsible for Second Brother Kong and the others getting blown up in the safe house for no reason."
"Continue," Kong Erdong said.
"Second Brother Kong isn't a mediocre person either. He's rarely made any mistakes in the field over the years." Wang Yun pondered and said, "Therefore, we need to be more vigilant since Wang Wenyan was able to blow them up while they were off guard. On the other hand, the Wang Clan was clearly the ones who wanted the satellites the most, but they retreated the fastest. I suspect that the Wang Clan has another way to seize the satellites. This might also have something to do with Wang Wenyan's ability. Wang Wenyan was a very key figure in the incident in Luoyang City. I wanted to find him and kill him, but that kid has already gone into hiding with the Wang Clan, so it wasn't easy to make a move. "
"Alright, you're already on the Wang Clan's radar, so there's no need for you to take the risk." Kong Erdong said calmly, "If that nuisance AI of the Wang Clan finds out about you, I'm afraid all the superhumans in the Wang Clan will come after you. Tell me about the second reason."
"The second reason is that mysterious supernatural being from the Northwest." Wang Yun said, "He played a very important role in the incident in Luoyang City. He also has a lover who's good with a sniper rifle. Later, I went to check the bullet holes on the ground at Wangchunmen Boulevard. That sniper alone killed dozens of people. I think most of the superhumans would not want to encounter enemies like them."
"What about you?" Kong Erdong asked.
"I don't want to encounter him either." Wang Yun said with a smile, "But that person does not have any conflicts of interest with my Kong Clan, so the chances of us meeting him in the future aren't too high. I think he's already returned to the Northwest by now. He's probably helping us out this time. Didn't we also hear some years ago that Zhang Jinglin went to Luoyang City during his travels?"
Kong Erdong rubbed his eyebrows, then took off his reading glasses and placed them on the table. "With your trip, you've at least figured out Wang Wenyan's background. It'll be great if the others can do the same. What's your next plan?"
"Have you heard about the Pyro Company?" Wang Yun suddenly asked.
"Of course I've heard about it." Kong Erdong glanced at Wang Yun. "Why? Do you have any ideas?"
"The Pyro Company is our neighbor, so how can we not have any ideas?" Wang Yun said with a smile, "Besides, Boss, think about it. After the incident in Luoyang City, the Anjing House has clearly sided with the Wang Clan. Let's not talk about whether we'll be able to get our hands on the No. 001 Experimental. Even if it's just to foil the Anjing House and the Wang Clan's plans and prevent them from getting their hands on the Experimental, it's enough."
At this moment, Kong Erdong suddenly asked, "I heard that the No. 001 Experimental might have lived for more than 200 years?"
Wang Yun was taken aback. He did not expect Kong Erdong would actually be concerned about this.
In the dark room, a ray of sunlight shone in through the gap in the curtains. Wang Yun looked at the reading glasses Kong Erdong had just put down on the table. Only then did he realize his boss was no longer young.
When an old man stood at the pinnacle of power and became second only to one person and above millions of people, what else could he pursue?
Immortality and eternal power were probably what they wanted the most.
Initially, Wang Yun did not care too much about this so-called No. 001 Experimental. Moreover, he thought Kong Erdong would not care too much about it either. But at this moment, he realized he was wrong.
Because he was young, he had never coveted something like immortality.
