The Southern Daily New was the largest newspaper publisher in the South.
At that moment, the whole publishing house was working overtime, and the atmosphere was hectic.
The exposé of Zoey generated so much buzz that they could barely cope.
The revenue from just these two days alone was more than enough to cover them for months.
As the first reporter who broke the news about the scandal, Ryan Danaher was currently surrounded by a lot of people.
Previously, he was only a low-ranking staff member at the Southern Daily News.
Ever since he exposed Zoey’s scandal, his status rapidly rose in the company.
All the senior managers at the newspaper had personally met with him.
Even rival media companies were trying to poach him over.
Moreover, his female colleagues were all giving him subtle hints.
Those ladies used to be beauties who wouldn’t bat an eyelid at him, but now, they were all throwing themselves at him.
It made Ryan feel ecstatic.
If not for the mysterious man who delivered the information to me, I wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a day.
“Ryan, since we’re going to finish work late, why don’t you stay outside for tonight?” his female supervisor asked suggestively as she passed him a keycard to a room.
When he saw her seductive expression, the lust within him was set ablaze.
She has treated me harshly all this while. But today, even she has to submit and offer herself to me.
The thought of an impending night of passion caused Ryan to have his head in the clouds.
Bang!
At that very moment, someone kicked open the office door.
The man who stormed in was White Tiger.
“Which of you is Ryan Danaher?” White Tiger demanded.
“That’s the twenty-fourth person who has come looking for Ryan. He’s so famous now that everyone wants a piece of him.”
All his colleagues look at him enviously.
“Ryan, someone from another major company is here to see you,” someone shouted.
Ryan stood up and declared haughtily, “I am Ryan. State your business quickly. Otherwise, just come back tomorrow as I’m going off for the day.”
White Tiger didn’t reply as he closed the distance between them.
Bang!
Suddenly, White Tiger grabbed Ryan’s collar and slammed him onto the office table, causing the table to split in half.
Crack!
“Argh!”
Ryan screamed in pain as his back broke from the impact.
Everyone present was shocked by what had just occurred.
White Tiger then dragged the bloodied Ryan out of the office, just like a lifeless dog.
From another corner, Azure Dragon also dragged the person in charge of the publisher out.
Meanwhile, Ebone’s paparazzi team was hiding in a dilapidated basement.
“Ebone, we have received our money, so why are we hiding in here? We should be out drinking to celebrate!”
A few of his subordinates were starting to become restless.
“That’s right. We will be fine.”
Ebone warned them with a grim expression, “No, just to be safe, we have to stay in hiding. After all, our enemy is someone powerful.”
“Fine. We will continue to hide then since no one is going to find this place.”
Ebone couldn’t help but smile.
They made a lot of enemies due to their line of work.
If they didn’t hide properly, it would be easy for them to lose their lives.
The basement they were in was very secluded. He had used it for hiding during the last thirteen years, and no one had ever found it.
One of his subordinates protested, “Ebone, I have a feeling that something is amiss. Why don’t we hide somewhere else?”
He felt a strong sense of dread.
“Bullsh*t, no one has found this place in thirteen years. It will be no different today.”
Ebone gave him a hard slap.
Bang!
Crack!
Suddenly, the door to the basement was blasted to smithereens.
