The secretary trembled nervously: "Answering Fourth Master’s question, the details are still being investigated... I’ll first instruct the men to collect the bodies and bury our brothers properly..."
Nangong Mo raised his voice several degrees, his eyes filled with endless gloom: "I’m asking you, who did it."
The bodyguard of the Nangong Family, exposed on the street?
Nangong Mo’s anger wasn’t about how many died, or who they were, but about who dared to challenge the authority of the Nangong Family and disturb things right under his nose.
Only then did the secretary nervously report: "Fourth Master, it’s mainly because the perpetrator was very cunning and swift, leaving no traces, so the investigation is still ongoing..."
Basically, still investigating means they probably won’t find out.
Otherwise, with the power of the Nangong Family, digging up surveillance from every corner of Qingcheng streets should only take a minute, yet someone managed to handle their people in broad daylight and left no trace.
Nangong Mo’s cold and fierce gaze swept over the secretary.
The secretary was so scared that his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud: "Fourth Master, I’ll personally investigate and spare no means to find clues!"
Nangong Mo sneered coldly, extinguishing the cigar in his hand on the other’s head: "Fool. What Bao Gucheng did, you won’t find any damn clues."
The secretary’s head hurt with smoke rising but couldn’t hide his shock: "You say it was Bao, Commander Bao did it? But there are no traces at the scene..."
"Precisely because no trace was left, that is the greatest evidence." Nangong Mo’s expression was deep, as cold as a cold pool.
In the Empire, who else has the ability to mobilize special forces, eliminate people, and leave no trace?
There are also some non-human entities that can effortlessly kill without leaving a trace, but obviously, these non-human things wouldn’t bother to deal with his mere bodyguards.
And Bao Gucheng has plenty of reasons to want his people dead.
Perhaps an insider planted beside Bao Gucheng was discovered, or maybe one of his secret businesses displeased that hypocrite Bao Gucheng... haha.
The secretary, confused yet grasping a hint, immediately asked for instructions: "Fourth Master, since we can determine that Bao Gucheng broke the rules first, we could retaliate and blow up his plane! I’ve heard he’s been frequently traveling between the capital and Qingcheng lately, we could seize the opportunity."
Nangong Mo glanced coldly: "The person who least wants Bao Gucheng dead right now is me. You want me to kill him?"
The secretary was again dumbfounded: "But Fourth Master, he...???"
Nangong Mo: "I asked you to get the family heirloom jade from the Xi Family, why aren’t you taking action? Why are you dealing with these trivial matters!"
The secretary felt like he was on a roller coaster, unable to gauge the true temperament of this unpredictable Fourth Master.
Fifteen brothers died and Fourth Master called it trivial.
Even when Nangong Meng was half dead, Fourth Master never truly cared.
Instead, he was determined to get the Xi Family’s broken stone.
And he allowed Bao Gucheng, who challenged their dignity, to live?
Truly couldn’t understand what Fourth Master was thinking.
Could it be that Fourth Master and Commander Bao are in a love-hate relationship?
The secretary shuddered inside and quickly scrambled to get to work, figuring out a way to get the jade pendants from the Xi Family’s three sons and an old man, to avoid angering Fourth Master again...
Bao Gucheng returned to the capital and immediately immersed himself in work without a word.
The last time Wei Yang had a chance to speak with Bao Gucheng was to report the bail of those 15 Nangong Family bodyguards who attacked Xi Zuzi out of police custody.
Bao Gucheng simply spat out two cold words: "Take them out."
