Chapter 491 - The Snake Moves

In the capital, on the highest floor of SC building, two men were currently busying themselves with a pile of doc.u.ments on their table.

Linfeng had been busy because of the success of ZD Comprehensive Project. By his side was Jang Shin who wore dark circles on his eyes.

When Jang Shin finally took a break, he massaged his brows. He had been busy in the past month ever since SC launched ZD World. He had been practically living on this floor and he only went out when he had to meet the big shots who wanted to have business proposals to SC.

Right now, he must probably look like a zombie due to the lack of sleep and many work he had yet to finish. He could not even take care of his skin properly nowadays. 

Jang Shin's eyes could not help but glance at the fresh-looking and energetic man who was way busier than him.

Linfeng's smooth, clear, and glowing skin made Jang Shin's eyebrow twitched. How come this man became more handsome the more he overworks?

He gritted his teeth. "How come you never looked messed up? You are working on two high-fuel jobs, goodness. I swear you haven't got a decent sleep for many days, but why is it that you looked more energetic than usual, ah? What's your secret?"

Jang Shin really wondered if his friend was still human. Linfeng looked at him then smirked faintly.

"You wouldn't understand."

'…'

Jang Shin: There was something on that smirk.

Jang Shin (single dog) suddenly felt as if he was forcefully fed with something (dogfood).

"I'm here working my ass off with you, and is about to become a zombie, yet you're still being stingy?"

"Well..." Linfeng dragged his words as he answered.

"Because I am working happily and with a huge reason."

Linfeng's arrogant smirk softened into a smile.

"!!!!!"

Jang Shin: There was definitely 'something' on that smile!

Jang Shin, this quick-witted guy when it comes to the gossip of others, immediately caught on to something.

He opened his mouth wide as his narrow eyes stared at the man's face.

"You're… you're smiling! No, your eyes are sparkling! And your skin... is glowing!"

Then suddenly realization hit Jang Shin's face.

"You took one day off, with the Xiong Heiress... Gasp!"

"Linfeng have you... have you lost your v.i.r.g.i.nity?!"

Linfeng: '....'

Linfeng threw the doc.u.ment in his hand at Jang Shin with a black face.

"You are still very lively. You don't need a break at all. Go back to work."

Now, Linfeng was back to the strict and domineering man whom Jang Shin was more familiar with.

Jang Shin: "…"

So, he was right?!

He excitedly wanted to jump up and start asking, but was shot down by a thick pile of backlogged doc.u.ments slamming on his desk, followed by a warning glare from Linfeng.

Cry

Inhuman!

Jang Shin could only go back to work while grumbling at how Linfeng was working him to death.

Linfeng's phone rang.

It was a personnel from the investigation team he assigned to keep an eye on Xiong Wuyue.

[Master, the object did not come out of the building for three days already.]

Linfeng raised a brow.

Did that Guan Gao Huan took a Xiong as his 'playmate'? He's quite daring. Even if the other party was expelled already, in a sense, Xiong Wuyue still had not gotten to change her surname yet.

He simply replied back.

[Just keep an eye, and change people and positions every day. Prioritize acting low-key. That place has strict surveillance.]

Linfeng made sure to give a warning to his people.

After all, LG Club was proven to be a dangerous place. Many people from the underground world had their meetings take place there. It would not be good if his people get exposed. They would be captured and killed off at any moment.

After Linfeng put down his phone, he wondered about the connection with Guan Gao Huan to Xiong Wuyue.

According to Zhi'er, the poison that Xiong De handed to Old Xiong was from Guan Gao Huan.

And according to further investigation by Xiong Zhi, the poison originally came from the Lu's.

With the help of the pest, they found out that the poison that Xiong De had brought was exactly the same poison which the pest had been forced to take when he was still under his brother's wings.

Xiong family…

Guan family…

Lu family…

Linfeng's intuition seemed to catch onto something, but he was unable to tell what it was.

Linfeng suddenly thought of that dark-haired man in the Tang banquet, with an imposing aura and martial arts that could probably be on par with his.

It looked like he would have to cross paths with that man again in the near future.

As ZD Comprehensive Project bloomed, the ZD World boarded the number one trending app in the recent global downloads in just a month.

The app covered more than fifty countries in one launch after all.

While ZD World received attention from all over the world, the hegemons in the business and IT industries instantly saw the stunning potential of ZD Comprehensive Project.

After inquiring further, they came to know the development direction and the potential product lines that were already underway in research and development. The ideas and features were highly advanced and innovative.

Many business hegemons immediately wanted to cooperate with SC. Because SC was like a tiny green pea sapling suddenly sprouting a diamond in a green field, the hegemons thought that they could easily rope in SC in whatever way they could.

There were varied responses in the domestic and international markets, some offered a basket of candies while many showed a threatening knife.

One of the people who was snared in by SC's appetizing bait was a man who was currently reading the reports inside an old western style mansion.

"How interesting, so the man behind SC is just a butler?"

His voice reverberated inside the wide Victorian living room.
