The Black-clothed Man beside him was intimidated by the cold aura emanating from the mysterious man. He raised his hand to wipe the imaginary cold sweat from his forehead and cautiously said, "Boss, even if we investigate thoroughly, it’s too late. We’ve lost everything now, and lost completely." "Bang!" The mysterious man stood up from the sofa, his long legs hitting the coffee table next to him, knocking over the tea cup on the table. Hot water spilled all over the floor and splashed onto his body. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝕟𝕖𝕥 But at that moment, he no longer cared about such things. "Lost? In my eyes, the word ’lose’ doesn’t exist! What are you still doing here? Hurry up and investigate!" The Black-clothed Man nodded quickly and hurried out the door. He could barely withstand the pressure from his boss. The mysterious man’s eyes were fixated on the computer screen. If the light was sufficient, a deep scar could be clearly seen on his cheek. The scar was faint in coloration, evidently an old wound. "You bunch of useless trash!" The mysterious man gritted his teeth and exclaimed! The remaining Black-clothed Men in the room stood there, not daring to breathe heavily, afraid of offending this figure as terrifying as King Yama by saying too much. At this moment, the person assigned to handle the trader quickly returned, wanting to speak but hesitated as he looked at the mysterious man. The mysterious man glared at him irritably, yelling, "Spit it out!" The man took a deep breath, mustering some courage, and then spoke, "Boss, of all the traders, one managed to escape." The mysterious man’s face turned as cold as ice. He practically spat out the words through clenched teeth, "Why aren’t you out looking for him? Are you going to find him here? A bunch of useless trash! Trash!!!" He had meticulously planned everything, yet everything unraveled in the last thirty seconds! How could he accept this! He had put everything on the line, facing all of Shanghai as an enemy! Meticulously planning each step, to catch them all in the end! His plan was incredibly detailed, with every step and even every minor detail thoroughly thought out, yet it had failed! How could he accept it! How could he possibly accept it! His furious anger had nowhere to be vented, and he was nearly exploding with rage at that moment. "Boss, actually, we haven’t completely lost yet. We could look for..." Suddenly, one of the Black-clothed Men stepped forward, but before he could finish his sentence, he felt a piercing gaze directed at him. The mysterious man’s gaze was fixed on him, filled with icy daggers, as if it could shoot right through him, "You think I haven’t thought of that?" "No, that’s not what I meant," the Black-clothed Man immediately lowered his head, becoming nervous. Damn his big mouth, why did he say anything! Now he had offended the boss; his life was in serious jeopardy! The mysterious man squinted his eyes. Of course, he knew he hadn’t lost completely yet, but he had invested every cent he had, and now, he had lost it all. How could he accept that! How could he possibly accept it! Even if that person could help him, these losses were already irreparable! He was truly unwilling! None of the Black-clothed Men dared to step forward or try to persuade him further. The mysterious man’s gaze was fixed on the computer screen, where the Shanghai stock market was continuously rising in a straight line, deeply stabbing his eyes. The mysterious man pressed his thin lips tightly, suddenly lifted his foot, and relentlessly kicked the computer in front of him to the ground. With a clatter, the noise startled the Black-clothed Men beside him. Very soon, the investigation into how those old folks in Shanghai suddenly obtained a large amount of funds was completed. "Boss, according to the investigation, it was the Four Great Families who suddenly united to jointly tackle this financial crisis." "Jointly tackle it?" The mysterious man squinted his eyes slightly, "That can’t be right; they don’t have the spare money to fight back!" "Yes, we also found out that there was a capital injection from the Capital City, but we couldn’t determine the source of this fund." The mysterious man’s expression darkened even further upon hearing the figure. He couldn’t even produce twenty billion now? The man seemed to understand the doubt in his boss’s heart and couldn’t help explaining, "Boss, our remaining funds amount to at most ten million. This ten million can’t possibly compete with twenty billion." In the last thirty seconds, even injecting this ten million in full would have been like water dashing against stone, rendering it useless. The mysterious man shot him a look, "Do you think I don’t know that?" A bunch of useless trash! They couldn’t even trace the source of funds! "Boss, I suspect this huge amount was definitely transferred from one of the families among the Six Major Families." The mysterious man pondered for a moment and then scoffed, "Among the Four Great Families of Modu, it seems they aren’t that close with the Six Major Families of Kyoto. To suddenly pull out twenty billion, the Six Major Families of Kyoto sure have a large heart." The man gave an awkward laugh, then seemed to think of something and cautiously stepped forward, saying, "Boss, maybe..." "Maybe? Maybe what? Get to the point!" The mysterious man glared at him, hating hesitation the most! "Before we came, we investigated some information related to Modu. It’s said that there was a person named Chu Ge who had ties with the Four Great Families. This Chu Ge even saved Mr. Ouyang’s life. During the Public Sea Banquet, Chu Ge even went with Mr. Ouyang as his personal bodyguard..." "What exactly are you trying to say? I have no interest in this person!" The mysterious man was already very agitated, and he had no mood to listen to him gossiping. The man raised his hand to wipe the imaginary cold sweat from his forehead and said, "This Chu Ge has vast abilities, capable of anything, and right now, he is in the Capital City. I heard he has a good relationship with the Nangong Family and even has done them favors. I’m wondering if it could be him..." As he finished speaking, he felt the mysterious man’s gaze piercing into him, causing his heart to skip a beat, and he immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word. The mysterious man squinted his eyes, dangerous sharpness flashing within them as he murmured, "Chu Ge?" To be able to mobilize twenty billion single-handedly, it seems this person must carry some weight. The mysterious man’s silence caused those around him to feel increasingly uneasy. The man who reported the findings felt a wave of sadness in his heart. He didn’t know his boss’s current emotions; he only attempted to deflect his boss’s anger by randomly pinning blame on someone. But seeing the results now, it seemed the deflection worked rather well. "Go investigate this Chu Ge, and get me a detailed report!"
