As evening descended, Lin'an City was bathed in the sunset, revealing a unique beauty.

At this moment, inside the president's office of Hengmei Media.

Nangong Shun sat on his chair, dressed in a black Armani suit, his hair meticulously slicked back. He appeared exceedingly refined, embodying the image of a successful individual.

However, his expression at this moment was quite out of place with his successful appearance.

Currently, Nangong Shun's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes slightly closed, a hint of irritation evident on his rather youthful face. Clearly, he had encountered some unpleasant situation.

Just this morning, he had failed in his attempt to force Su Nianxue, and had shot dead Su Nianxue's two bodyguards in a hotel room, allowing Su Nianxue to escape from his grasp. Just thinking about it now drove him to distraction, leaving him agitated to the extreme!

One must know, Su Nianxue is currently the highly sought-after Asian Queen. If this matter were to be exposed, the repercussions from the law and public opinion would be enough to utterly ruin him and lead to a lifetime of imprisonment!

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, as Nangong Shun furrowed his brows tightly, a sudden dull knocking sounded, low and urgent, clearly discernible in the silent office.

Hearing this series of knocks, Nangong Shun slowly opened his eyes and impatiently said, "Come in!"

Creaaak!

As soon as Nangong Shun spoke, the office door was pushed open, and in walked the man who had attempted to capture Su Nianxue at the Six Mansions Observation Tower that morning.

The man's complexion remained gaunt and gloomy, his arm in a cast, walking with a limp, his eyes vacant and unfocused, appearing utterly battered.

"How did the matter go?"

Seeing the man enter, Nangong Shun coldly asked, "Did you capture that bitch Su Nianxue?"

His voice was low, with a hint of coldness. His primary concern now was whether Su Nianxue had been captured.

After all, her capture would determine whether he faced imprisonment!

"Boss..."

Hearing Nangong Shun's words, the man mumbled softly, "We... failed..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Shun's eyes suddenly widened, bloodshot with a terrifyingly gruesome appearance: "Failed?"

His voice was full of anger, unable to comprehend how, despite sending so many people, they couldn't capture a mere fragile girl!

"Y-yes..."

The man replied, his words tinged with fear.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Hearing this, Nangong Shun suddenly grabbed the metal ashtray beside him and threw it fiercely at the man!

Bang!

The ashtray hit the ground with a dull thud, startling the man into a shiver of fear!

"You bunch of idiots! Useless!"

Having thrown the ashtray to the floor, Nangong Shun yelled furiously, "I've supported you for so long, yet you can't even capture a woman who can't fight back. Why should I keep you?!"

With these words, Nangong Shun vented the anger he'd suppressed all day, his voice hoarse and unusually irritable!

What he did to Su Nianxue was indefensible in either law or public opinion. If exposed, his fate would be incredibly bleak!

"Boss, Boss..."

Seeing Nangong Shun's expression, the man said aggrievedly, "This time, it wasn't our fault."

His tone was full of grievance.

"How dare you say that!"

Hearing this, Nangong Shun was abnormally furious: "A group of men with guns couldn't capture a single woman. What can you do?! Not your responsibility, then whose is it?!"

At this moment, Nangong Shun was nearly driven mad with rage, looking at the man in front with gritted teeth, exuding intense anger!

After all, if what he did got exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Boss, we had initially captured that little girl Su Nianxue."

Listening to Nangong Shun, the man said, "But then someone suddenly intervened and rescued Su Nianxue. We had no way..."

"Someone rescued Su Nianxue?"

Hearing this, Nangong Shun sneered, coldly asking, "How many were there?"

"One..."

Hearing Nangong Shun, the man replied in a low mumble, fearfully trembling in his voice.

"And how many of you were there?"

Seeing the man's condition, Nangong Shun continued to ask, his expression turning even colder.

"Including me... there were eight..."

Hearing this, the man's voice became increasingly timid, conveying a sense of fearful cowering.

"So Su Nianxue was snatched right under the noses of eight grown men by a lone person suddenly appearing?"

Hearing this, Nangong Shun's face was full of cold laughter, his eyes crazed with bloodshot veins.

"Yes..."

Hearing this, the man replied.

"Yes, my ass!"

Hearing this, Nangong Shun could no longer suppress his rage, and he directly picked up the vase next to him and hurled it at the man's face!

Pa!

With a crisp sound, the vase shattered upon hitting the man's cheek, scattering shards all over the place.

"Eight grown men with guns, brought down by a sudden arrival?"

Nangong Shun's voice was hysterical, roaring, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Thinking such a clumsy lie would fool me? Damn it!"

With these words, Nangong Shun seemed insane, hysterical, shouting in pure anger.

Originally, he thought sending people would surely capture Su Nianxue, but never anticipated such an unexpected turn!

"But Boss, I'm telling the truth."

Clutching his cheek, smashed by the vase, the man said, sounding exceedingly wronged, "That guy was incredibly strong, fast, and ruthless, and our brothers had no chance to fight back, immediately taken down!"
