"Alas, it seems I still need to improve my martial arts quickly. Otherwise, if I encounter assassins next time, I'll only have the option of fleeing!"
Cheng Wanyun said helplessly, then handed the two corpses over to the relevant departments. She herself drove her car to a quiet place and entered secluded cultivation for three days to continue practicing the "Lingque Jue"!
News of the demise of the two assassins from the Grim Reaper organization quickly spread throughout Jiangbei City.
In a luxurious private club, Xiao Wuji sat in the center, draining his half-full glass of whiskey in one go, his face filled with anger.
"Damn it, they actually failed! Two assassins from the Grim Reaper organization were killed by the Dark Night Pluto!"
Xiao Wuji roared coldly, then grabbed the chest of a beautiful young woman beside him, leaving bloody marks on her.
The young woman endured the intense pain and dared not cry out.
"Young Master Xiao, originally Lu Yang was dead for sure this time. Who knew the Dark Night Pluto would suddenly appear and save Lu Yang? Damn it, this good-for-nothing is truly fated not to die!"
"Is this Dark Night Pluto acquainted with this good-for-nothing?"
Bai Hao said quickly, standing to the side.
"Impossible!"
"What is the Dark Night Pluto's identity? How could he possibly know this good-for-nothing!"
Xiao Wuji interrupted directly.
"It's not impossible, Wuji. Don't forget, this kid is the Deputy General Manager of Black Dragon Capital, and the Dark Night Pluto is the mysterious Chairman of Haitong Group. The two companies are currently in a cooperative relationship. It's not impossible for the Dark Night Pluto to know this good-for-nothing!"
"I also heard that the police department invited the Dark Night Pluto to help maintain peace in Jiangbei City. This time it was probably just a coincidence!"
Ji Xueshuang, sitting opposite Xiao Wuji, said directly.
"Mm!"
"If that's the case, then it makes sense!"
After hearing Ji Xueshuang's words, Xiao Wuji nodded and continued, "However, the Dark Night Pluto has now stood against us, which is a bit tricky. The news from the Lingque heir is that they are in secluded cultivation these few days and will directly come to Jiangbei City in three days to meet me. Then it will be their day of death!"
"With the Lingque heir making a move, let alone a mere Dark Night Pluto, even ten Dark Night Plutos combined would not be a match for the Lingque heir!"
Xiao Wuji's eyes erupted with a chilling expression.
Since arriving in Jiangbei City, Xiao Wuji had been consistently thwarted, played around by a so-called live-in son-in-law. This had pushed Xiao Wuji to the brink of fury. However, he was patient and had been waiting for an opportunity, and three days later, that would be the best chance.
Of course, Lu Yang knew nothing of all this, nor did he care. He had never taken Xiao Wuji seriously; he was just a petty insignificant figure.
At this moment, Lu Yang had finished dealing with the matters of the Hongmen Jiangbei branch. He made a call to Little Arno. This time, helping Liu Hui become the chairman of the Hongmen Jiang Province branch would be entrusted to the Arno brothers. They were unfamiliar faces, recognized by no one, making it more convenient.
Moreover, Lu Yang knew the strength of the elder and younger Arno. With the two of them joining forces, even a master like Lin Tatian would not gain any advantage.
Soon, Lu Yang arrived at Black Dragon Capital. Bai Shumin was already tidying up in his office.
When Lu Yang was alone before, there was only a desk and a chair in the office, nothing else, not even a single potted plant. Now, with a secretary, the entire office was instantly renewed. Not only were various decorative items added, but also cabinets, coat racks, and various plants. At this time, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, creating a warm scene.
"Secretary Bai, what are you doing? Are you treating this place like home? Planning to live here tonight?"
Lu Yang felt a little unaccustomed and asked Bai Shumin, pointing with his lips.
"Since it's an office, it should look like an office. Don't make it look like a security room. Our Black Dragon Capital isn't so poor that we can't afford to buy some office supplies!"
Bai Shumin said directly to Lu Yang.
"Alright, as long as you're happy!"
Lu Yang shrugged, appearing indifferent.
"Deputy General Manager Lu, these are the materials I organized today. Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign them directly!"
Bai Shumin said, taking out a stack of documents, which were all reports on the company's previous operational status.
"I don't need to sign these things. If you think they're okay, take them to General Manager Shen to sign!"
Lu Yang smiled faintly.
"Alright!"
Seeing Lu Yang still looking lazy, Bai Shumin didn't bother to argue with him further and went directly to find Shen Yiman.
"Yiman, I've been interacting with Deputy General Manager Lu for two days. Apart from having some strength and being audacious enough to fight anyone, I really can't see any other merits. On the contrary, I feel he's just an ordinary person who brags a lot, is lecherous, and likes to show off!"
Bai Shumin said to Shen Yiman angrily. Bai Shumin was already regretting being recruited by Shen Yiman to be Lu Yang's secretary. Although the salary and benefits were good, there was no room for her to display her talents.
Bai Shumin sought personal development, not just a few tens of thousands of yuan.
"Shumin, you've only been with him for a short time and don't understand him yet. I thought the same way at first. But after spending more time with him, I discovered that this person is beyond our imagination; his capabilities are immense!"
"You'll feel it gradually. If I say too much, you might think I'm defending him!"
Shen Yiman said with a slight smile.
"Alas, alright, I'll give him another week. If I can't find any shining points in him during this week that make me want to continue working, I'll resign!"
Bai Shumin directly issued an ultimatum.
"Mm!"
Shen Yiman nodded.
Lu Yang knew nothing of what they were saying. At this moment, Lu Yang was sitting in his office chair, with his legs propped up on the desk, leisurely playing on his phone.
Recently, Lu Yang had become addicted to watching live streams. He felt that watching live streams when he had nothing to do was a very good way to relax.
It was much better than constantly playing mobile games.
Bai Shumin returned to Lu Yang's office and saw him playing on his phone, looking disdainful again. However, she didn't say anything and went about her own business.
In the evening, in a luxurious private room at the Guoxing Hotel, Xiao Wuji was entertaining a foreign wealthy businessman.
The foreign businessman's name was Kenneth, a renowned tycoon from Snow Country with assets in the hundreds of billions. The investment promotion in Jiangbei City this time had attracted many foreign businessmen, including Kenneth. Kenneth was primarily involved in the shipping and port business. This time, the latest document from the Jiangbei City Municipal Government showed that Jiangbei City planned to build a small port in Qinglong Bay to connect Jiangbei City, Jiangzhong City, and Jiangnan City, accelerating the economic take-off of the three cities.
This project was undoubtedly a lucrative opportunity, and countless wealthy capitalists had set their sights on it, flocking to Jiangbei City to bid. However, among these bidding companies, Kenneth's company was the most powerful, and winning the bid this time was almost a certainty.
