On the other side of the Door to Heaven.
Director of Jin Di Real Estate Company, Cheng Qifu, played with the sandalwood bead in his hand, smiled, and said, “Director Wang, about what Qian Guangzhao said about using the island to exchange for two people, what do you think about that? Damn him, I keep feeling that he’s toying with our intelligence. We can play about with the time gap, but the army can also support Hong Dali. We don’t stand a chance of fighting against the country.”
The woman sitting opposite him wore a black office lady suit with a pair of black spectacles. With a cold frost-like expression, she insipidly said, “You probably already have a plan in your heart, why waste the time asking me.”
“You can’t put it that way.” Cheng Qifu laughed and said, “Although I do have some ideas, I don’t have much confidence in implementing it. Since we are both on the same boat now, why don’t we share our ideas? Whatever the case, Hong Dali must be dealt with. If this prodigal really carries on like this, we will be in trouble as well. We also have to think of a back-up plan in case of accidents, or else we might end up very badly.”
They were completely on opposite sides with Hong Weiguo now, and there would definitely only be one winner left amongst them. The only difference being that the winner might not end up very well, but the loser would definitely end up very badly.
This was a massive gamble, there was no turning back now. This wasn’t a joke.
Cheng Qifu said, “The biggest problem now is whether what Qian Guangzhao said is true.” Now that there were only the two of them here, Black Widow Wang Yingqiu spoke more words than before. “Putting the issue about the time gap aside, for the remaining two factors, he said that he has people on top supporting him. Who are they? One of them is definitely the sly old fox Sun Yuanzhou, but who else? Did he really manage to pull some of the other four of the big five magnates to his side? Or is it the three major arbitrations? If he really managed to gain the support of the three major arbitrations, then we really have nothing else to worry about.”
“If we really have the support of the three major arbitrations, unless the leader of Heavenly State personally speaks up against us, we will definitely win.” Cheng Qifu thought for a while and affirmatively said, “I reckon that he must have the support of the three major arbitrations. If not, Qian Guangzhao wouldn’t dare try and crush Hong Weiguo up to this extent. Impeaching an inner member of the Chamber of Commerce, it’s frightening just thinking about it.”
“That’s right. Once he is impeached, he will be completed beat down from all aspects.” Wang Yingqiu sighed. “Even if Hong Weiguo is very influential and powerful, he won’t be able to handle that.”
“Hehe, a search engine is linked to too many things.” Cheng Qifu shook his head. “If he’s really impeached, the entire Chamber of Commerce will use all of its resources to go against him. Checks from the government every few days, all of the inner members of the Chamber of Commerce suing him for infringement of copyrights, the discipline inspection department checking all of the executives under him from head to toe… No matter how impressive a person is, he will definitely have some flaws like corruption and bribery even if it’s just to a small extent. Under such exterior and interior attacks, he probably wouldn’t last half a year. Just thinking about it makes me shiver.”
The Resource Chamber of Commerce looked like just a bunch of businessmen fighting for their own benefits, like children playing amongst themselves.
But its influence and power were super scary.
The Resource Chamber of Commerce was, in fact, a way for the government to control the large enterprises in the country. All the members who entered the Chamber of Commerce would enjoy great benefits. Of course, once they were kicked out of it, the consequences would be also quite severe.
Currently, Hong Dali had the support of the Bureau Chief, and even the attitude of the leader of the Nation towards him was quite good—but the problem was that very few people knew of their relationship. Even Hong Weiguo also didn’t know about the leader’s relationship with Hong Dali.
Therefore, for Cheng Qifu and the rest, there wouldn’t be any problem defeating Hong Weiguo—having the support of the three major arbitrations was enough.
“Speaking of it this way, Qian Guangzhao should be speaking the truth. If not, he will become the one being impeached.” Wang Yingqiu frowned, thought for a while, and said, “The biggest problem now is the third factor. Will Jaban State really use the island to exchange for the two of them? Where did he get this news?”
“This is hard to say for sure.” Cheng Qifu shook his head. “No one knows where he got this news. However, I do know that the Qian Family was always close to the Toyoda Conglomerate. If this news is from the Toyoda Conglomerate, then it must be close to the mark, not far off. Also, did you realize how Spiritual Sword expanded just so suddenly last time? I suspect that Spiritual Sword had a strong backing behind them. Now, with this news from Qian Guangzhao, I’m 90% sure that it was Shiroishi Kazuma behind it.”
“Shiroishi Kazuma? The lead consultant of Toyoda Conglomerate?” Wang Yingqiu frowned, thought for a while, nodded, and said, “True, the rise and expansion of Spiritual Sword, the battle of the century between the online novel websites, those were Shiroishi Kazuma’s usual styles. So, your idea is about Shiroishi Kazuma?”
“Hehe, what do you think.” Cheng Qifu gave an insidious laugh and softly said, “Therefore, things are very simple now. We don’t need to care about what Jaban is going to do. No matter what happens in the end, be it impeaching Hong Weiguo or what, we just have to push everything on Qian Guangzhao and Shiroishi Kazuma, then definitely nothing will happen to us. Since Qian Guangzhao wants to use us as his weapon, we shall use him as the scapegoat. So we are even.”
“Your plan is indeed insidious.” Wang Yingqiu gave a sinister smile and said, “With them as the scapegoats, we shall just support them from the sidelines. If something happens, they shall bear the consequences.”
“That’s right.” Cheng Qifu laughed loudly and looked at her lecherously. “I have already said so much, shouldn’t Director Wang show some token of appreciation?”
She immediately knew what he was thinking about seeing his expression. Wang Yingqiu didn’t reject and insipidly said, “My whole person is already here, isn’t this enough?”
“Haha, enough, of course, it’s enough!”
…
At the same time, Australie, Sand Eagle headquarters.
“You’re saying that Blood Demon has died in a fire?” Charles listened to the assistant’s report and his eyeballs almost popped out. “Are you sure that you didn’t say it wrongly? The Blood Demon who’s ranked top few in the entire world died in a fire disaster!?”
“Ye… Yes…” The assistant’s forehead was full of sweat. He, too, felt that this matter was a bit strange. “But this was already reported on the Heavenly State’s newspaper. It was indeed Blood Demon’s photo. I think Blood Demon isn’t so dumb as to expose his identity…”
“That’s unlikely, but I still think that him dying in a fire disaster doesn’t seem right,” Charles mumbled. “The previous one died in a car accident, this one died in a fire disaster…” No matter how he thought about it, he just couldn’t figure it out. In the end, he violently shook his head and said, “Forget it, let’s not care about him for now. This time, we have to send someone more reliable!”
“Then… Who shall we send?” The assistant carefully asked.
“Heart Q, Diamond K!”
Upon hearing these names, the assistant shivered and softly said, “OK, Boss.” After leaving the room, the assistant mumbled, “Just for killing a prodigal he actually wants to send the Tyrant and the Night Queen. God…”
…
Tianjing City, outskirts, National Security Bureau.
“The old guys from the military are practically going mad these two days.” The mysterious man continuously rubbed his temples. “They keep asking me to get all of the Mechanical Holy Garments from Hong Dali and give it to them, this is really causing me a headache.”
“That’s normal.” The Bureau Chief sighed and said, “Who doesn’t want to get ahold of this thing? Luckily this little rascal Hong Dali still knows to share his good stuff. To be honest, if he had dared to say no, I would definitely have strangled him to death.” When the Heavenly State’s secret research base had finished analyzing the attributes of the Mechanical Holy Garment, the Bureau Chief got a shock.
“This kid is as smart as a monkey.” The mysterious man smiled and said, “Although he seems very cheerful and carefree every day, he has never made any mistakes on the major stuff.” Speaking up to this point, the mysterious man got into a dilemma. “The problem now is that those from the military wants all of them, leaving none to Hong Dali. How should I reject them, this is really a headache!”
Actually, if a new weapon was created, letting the military use it was the sensible option. After all, the military was the Nation’s main force of defense. No single person could be above the military, that’s for sure.
However, that referred to conventional weapons; even nuclear bombs and such could be considered to be conventional weapons.
The problem was, could the Mechanical holy Garment be considered to be a conventional weapon? No, it definitely couldn’t! The origin of the Mechanical Holy Garment that Hong Dali gave to the Nation was a mystery. No one knew how this thing appeared. It just did. And its performance was boosted several times.
Being unable to explain its origin was the crucial thing. And the military wanted all of the garments. According to them, such a powerful weapon shouldn’t be possessed by a single person!
Therefore, their tone this time was very strong. Hong Dali must give up all five of his Mechanical Holy Garments!
Right now the mysterious man was trying to stall time, but he couldn’t delay it forever. The longer he stalled, the greater the conflict between them.
“This matter is really hard to solve.” The Bureau Chief sighed. “This thing is really too powerful, it’s normal for the military to be eager to possess it. Also, Hong Dali left five garments for himself, that’s indeed quite a lot.”
“Don’t I know this, too?” The mysterious man helplessly shook his head. “The problem is, I can’t suppress Hong Dali’s enthusiasm. If I forcefully take away his Mechanical Holy Garments this time, what will be the consequences?”
“Killing the chicken to take the eggs.” The Bureau Chief directly defined it. “Then, we will not be able to get any more good stuff from him next time.”
“Thus my dilemma now.” The mysterious man was dispirited. “The military doesn’t know about Hong Dali’s special abilities, only the two of us know. I can’t let many people know about this, too. Otherwise, he will get into trouble. There are too many people in this world willing to give up their lives trying to fight for something. I must ensure Hong Dali’s safety.”
