"Boss, how's the fireproof suit I made?"
The petite figure shrouded in a black cloak spoke first.
The voice sounded quite charming, as if a delicate little bell was gently swaying in the ear.
It possesses both the innocence of a young girl and a touch of coquettish charm.
"Hmm, not bad."
In stark contrast, a mature and aloof voice emanated from beneath the cloak of the slender, tall figure at the very front.
The woman in black bowed slightly to him and said softly:
"Master, they're on the top floor. I've taken care of some of the bodyguards, but there should still be others up there."
Upon hearing this, the slender, tall woman in black said coldly:
"Dispose of these bodies properly, don't leave any traces. Xiaoxue and the others, come up with me."
After speaking, he walked towards the stairwell. The light footsteps came from under his cloak, which sounded particularly clear and abrupt in the silent environment, like a bell suddenly ringing in the dead silence.
Top floor office
The office door was tightly closed, and bodyguards were stationed both in front of and behind it.
In the center of the office, a well-dressed middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties sat on a luxurious leather sofa with a gloomy expression and his eyes flashing with an unpredictable light.
His name is Gu Wuming, and he is the publicly acknowledged president of the company that owns this skyscraper.
On a chaotic night, a fire silently spread.
He tried to send a message using his mobile phone, but found that the signal in the entire building and surrounding area was completely cut off, and he couldn't even make a text message or a phone call.
He sent his bodyguards downstairs to find a way to bring the helicopter up, but after a while, the bodyguards haven't sent back any information.
This is clearly someone deliberately targeting him!
Based on his recent experiences, he realized that he had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend.
He also understood that he was likely to fail here today!
Just then, he heard light footsteps outside the door, which made his heart skip a beat. He abruptly raised his head and stared intently at the office door.
Then, clear sounds of fighting came from outside the door, and then the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Gu Wuming tensed up as a slender, tall figure came into view, the firelight outside casting a long shadow of her.
Two bodyguards, one on each side, rushed towards the slender figure wrapped in a cloak without hesitation.
Before Gu Wuming could even see how the man made his move, his two bodyguards were already flying backward.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two men in front of him were sent flying, the remaining bodyguard rushed straight towards the woman in black. When he was just a step away from her, he only felt a blur before his eyes.
A hand wrapped in a black glove mercilessly gripped his throat, the air in his mouth instantly thinned, and a feeling of suffocation surged like a tidal wave, relentlessly washing over his consciousness.
His feet left the ground without his noticing, and his body was involuntarily lifted into the air, like a helpless piece of driftwood caught in a giant wave, struggling in mid-air.
His hands instinctively reached for the wrist that was gripping his throat, trying to find a sliver of escape.
The next second, a crisp "click" sound rang out.
His eyes remained fixed on the front, but the light in them had died out like a flickering candle, and he was ruthlessly thrown out.
What terrifying skills!
What ruthless methods!
Gu Wuming was still reeling from the shock of the dramatic scene when he suddenly felt a chill run through his body.
Then he noticed that the newcomer's cold, emotionless eyes were looking at him, and then, familiarly, everything blurred before his eyes.
His pupils immediately contracted, and he leaped off the sofa. At the same time, he pulled a gun from his waist, loaded it instantly, and fired several shots in quick succession.
Even knowing that he would most likely perish here today, he would not surrender without a fight!
Even if there's only a sliver of hope of escaping death, he'll fight for it!
But he only had time to see the afterimages before he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. The toe of the foot, covered by a black Martin boot, kicked the gun out of his hand.
It then kicked him in the chest with a strong gust of wind, and he could only instinctively stretch out his arms to block it.
The moment the two collided, his body flew backward and slammed hard against the office door. He coughed up a mouthful of blood uncontrollably and was powerless to resist.
His bloodshot eyes were filled with fear and disbelief.
The battle outside the office had long since ended. A group of bodyguards lay sprawled on the ground, motionless, their blood staining a large area of the floor.
Two men in black cloaks dragged Gu Wuming, who was lying by the door, and forced him to kneel on the ground.
"Since I have nowhere to escape, why not let me die knowing why, at least let me know who I fell for."
Gu Wuming looked at the tall, slender figure standing in front of him with a gloomy and dim gaze.
As he wished, the person who heard the news had their large black cloak unfastened, revealing a slender and exquisite figure.
As the black veil was removed from her face, a breathtakingly beautiful and exquisite face was revealed to the air.
It was Chu Liyue!
She sat down on the luxurious leather sofa with an expressionless face, her long legs crossed, her posture elegant.
She removed her blood-stained black gloves and tossed them into the trash can. Her long, slender fingers, adorned with delicate dark red manicures, gently tapped the sofa armrest.
"Hehe, Miss Chu, you've really kept your secret! I, Gu, am speechless with dismay. But don't think that getting rid of me has solved everything; someone else will come to deal with you later."
When Gu Wuming saw this face, he was surprised for a moment but quickly regained his composure. He believed he had never underestimated the person in front of him, but her terror was clearly far beyond his imagination.
However, having been defeated by this person, though unwilling, there's nothing more to say.
Chu Liyue seemed oblivious, simply watching the towering fire and the blood splattering everywhere.
She resembled a noble and ruthless empress seated on a throne, her deep eyes flashing with subtle light, making it difficult to fathom her emotions.
She glanced indifferently at Gu Wuming, whose face was fierce, and then lightly gestured with her slender fingers in front of her neck.
Upon seeing this, the person next to him immediately flicked his wrist, silencing the blustering but cowardly man. Blood gushed out, staining a large area of the floor red.
She immediately rose gracefully, took light steps, and walked out, her cool and indifferent voice echoing in the room.
"Clean things up and make the evidence more convincing that the president of Rongguang Group committed suicide by setting himself on fire due to unbearable pressure."
"Also, notify the people in Bingcheng to bring them over."
The wind howled outside the window. She suddenly stopped, turned her head, and left a perfect profile.
His indifferent and cold eyes flashed with a chilling light, and his voice was cold and authoritative.
"Tell Lu Zhufeng that it's still cold, so make sure he takes good care of the person. If he gets sick again, I'll hold him accountable!"
