Speaking of this stunning woman scolded by Duanmu Zhe, she is no ordinary person; she's an extremely high-profile superstar in the country!

In the entertainment circle, she's a senior to Mo Zixun, frequently appearing on red carpets and award ceremonies, a constant presence in TV series and films, winning numerous major awards, honored as a double-winning best actress, basking in glory.

Yet in front of Duanmu Zhe, she seems like a vase without any dignity, lacking the courage to speak more than half a sentence.

"Fourteenth Brother, how many times have I told you to be a gentleman to the ladies? Why can't you learn?"

The young man sitting in the office chair smiled helplessly at Duanmu Zhe.

"Eldest Brother, you don't know, this bitch has no manners, she deserves it!"

Duanmu Zhe continued cursing, closed the door, and walked in, "I used to think she was very virtuous. At the Harbor Golden Statue Awards, she dressed differently from other actresses, wearing a dress without even revealing her thighs. Rumor had it that she didn't conform to any casting couch rules, but I just used a little means, and she obediently delivered herself to my arms. No challenge at all."

As he spoke, Duanmu Zhe shook his head and sat down opposite the young man, crossing his legs, habitually taking out a pack of cigarettes intending to light up.

"I've figured it out, these women in the entertainment industry are all the same. Aside from different packaging and personas, they're all sluts in bed. I'm bored after playing twice!"

"Fourteenth Brother, you can't smoke in my office, it seems you've forgotten."

The young man reminded in a calm tone.

Duanmu Zhe froze for a moment, hurriedly put away the cigarette pack, and apologized with a smile, "I was messed up by that woman and actually forgot I can't smoke in front of Eldest Brother, please don't mind!"

"Why come looking for me so late?" The young man asked calmly.

"Ahem, it's nothing big, just wondering if Eldest Brother has heard about something recently?"

Duanmu Zhe said, "That guy Lin Zekai, who had been playing around me, recently disappeared! I personally called him but couldn't reach him. Later, I sent someone to investigate a bit, only to find out that something happened to him."

"Fourteenth Brother, do you think I'm not busy enough every day? So you tell me all these trivial matters?" The young man asked with a smile.

"No, no, that's not it, Eldest Brother, listen to me!"

Duanmu Zhe hurriedly said, "Initially, I didn't think it was a big deal. Forget about our large circle, just among my hangers-on, how many are there?! Missing one isn't a problem! But Lin Zekai's situation is not ordinary, he was directly killed!"

"And not just him; I heard his family was implicated because of him, severely damaged, even Old Man Lin passed away."

"What does that indicate?" The young man slightly frowned.

He was getting impatient.

It's not that he didn't care about the lives of the people at the bottom of his pyramid, but compared to Lin Zekai or the Lin family, the difference was too great, like heaven and earth!

Like an emperor, why bother with the life and death of a minor official?

His time was precious, not to be wasted on such people and families.

"It doesn't really indicate anything. But before Lin Zekai got into trouble, he called me, just when Eldest Brother you returned, he said he met trouble in Jiangdong, someone showed up and not only ruined his plans but made him very wary. That person's last name is Jiang, first name Feng..."

"What did you say?!"

At these words, the previously composed and relaxed young man suddenly changed his expression!

His previously restrained sharp aura exploded out!

This was in stark contrast to his earlier gentle demeanor, like a fierce beast ready to devour, opening its mouth to consume!

The temperature in the entire office seemed to drop instantly!

Duanmu Zhe was terrified at the sight, immediately sitting up straight, nervously saying, "Eldest Brother, it's absolutely true! At first, I didn't believe it when Lin Zekai told me. I even told him to go investigate in Jiangdong, to bring back Jiang Feng's head to see if it's the same person from back then! But now that something happened to him, I suspect the one with the last name Jiang is involved."

"Do you mean the bastard of the Jiang Family is not dead?"

The young man stood up with a cold smile, his aura so strong and oppressive that Duanmu Zhe could hardly breathe!

"That sole archenemy daring to stand against me in the Capital City has returned from the dead?"

"Eldest Brother, that's not what I mean, I don't know if this suddenly appearing Jiang Feng is the same person as before! But logically speaking, this is unlikely, he was long driven out of the Jiang Family and you personally sent people to handle him, he couldn't possibly rise from the ashes, most likely just a coincidence of name."

Duanmu Zhe shivered, standing up with a bitter smile.

"Coincidence of name?"

The young man narrowed his eyes, his gaze coldly flashing: "What a coincidence! An obscure person yet able to overthrow the Lin family?! You go investigate this for me, I want a result! If you can't handle it, you know my temper."

"Yes, yes! Eldest Brother rest assured, I will handle it fully and give you an explanation!"

Duanmu Zhe was sweating profusely, regretting deeply!

If he'd known it would be like this, he might as well have not reported it, but now Eldest Brother assigned this out-of-province matter to him.

But thinking again, he believed it necessary to report, lest it blow up later and he be accused of withholding information, Eldest Brother would not spare him then!

"Fourteenth Brother, you know, among our brothers, I've placed high hopes on you."

The young man walked over, patting Duanmu Zhe's shoulder lightly: "Other brothers, they all have their own responsibilities, even I, have to show something to the elders above. Only you few remain in the Capital City, holding down the fort, so don't let things that affect my mood easily annoy me."

"Eldest Brother, I understand! Rest assured, I won't let you down!"

Duanmu Zhe hurriedly promised.

The young man nodded, then smiled again: "I'm returning to Nancang to resume my duties tomorrow, waiting for your news, remember to see things through."

"Got it, I'll get right on it when I return!" Duanmu Zhe swore.

"Good." The young man smiled, his gaze turned to the outside, looking at the shimmering night view of the Capital City: "Jiang Feng? Interesting, seems I'm tied to this name for life, actually, I hope the him from back then is still alive, so he can witness the day when I ascend the throne, standing at the Absolute Peak of China."

"And he, just like back then, will forever be my backdrop, the ant trampled under my feet!"
