How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 118: Revisiting Changsheng and Revealing the True Colors

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Revisiting Changsheng and Revealing the True Colors

Footsteps echoed, coming from the stairwell.

A cup of tea was handed to him; Ding Lizhong silently took it, knowing it was his wife, the wife who, in his eyes, would never grow up. But at this moment, he seemed to dare not meet her eyes.

Because he knew the peaceful days were over.

After the next shareholders’ meeting, he, a billionaire, would likely be penniless. To gain any benefits, he could only rely on endless lawsuits, only wait for unpredictable judgments, and with the energy of Changsheng Group, he ultimately couldn’t compete, whether it was internal company struggles or external judicial decisions...

"Today, I learned about the situation at the shareholder meeting!" Mrs. Ding said softly.

Ding Lizhong trembled slightly; she already knew.

Mrs. Ding gave a light smile: "It doesn’t matter, even if we lose the shares, we still have this house, Ruoshui still has tens of millions of pocket money, and I still have a pile of jewelry. You think these are few? I tell you, with a university professor’s salary, you couldn’t earn this much even in 800 years."

Ding Lizhong’s gaze slowly moved over: "Are you saying... my decision to resign and start my own business all those years ago was not wrong?"

"Of course, it wasn’t wrong! One day we’ll sell this house, move to Fengcheng, buy a house there, get Ruoshui married off to Fengcheng, and I’ll learn to garden with my mother-in-law... Ruoshui, what do you think?"

Ding Ruoshui had followed her mother upstairs, originally enraged, but now her face showed a sour expression, looking at her mom, unsure of what to say...

And you know what, Mrs. Ding’s words swept away all the dark clouds in Ding Lizhong’s mind.

Ding Lizhong breathed out softly: "Speaking of which, that kid really did have foresight. Yesterday he still said to me, you have to prepare for Li Changsheng’s fury. Look, it’s here today..."

Ding Ruoshui looked up, gazing into the distance.

Dad is enduring Li Changsheng’s fury!

So, Li Changsheng...

Are you ready?

To endure my, Ding Ruoshui’s fury?

The next day!

The sky was overcast with dense clouds.

It seemed to foreshadow a storm soon sweeping over Jiangcheng.

A small car sped towards Changsheng Group.

Shen Yinchuan was driving.

In the back seat, as always, were Number 88 and Lin Xiaosu.

The proud Chief of the Criminal Investigation Team had effectively turned himself into a driver.

And he felt quite honored doing so.

Because only he knew who the person sitting in the car was.

To fight side by side with the Qianlong Gold Medal was an honor of a lifetime...

His police badge flashed, granting them unobstructed access.

Straight to the Chairman’s office, the clever secretary said, "Chief Shen is here again, I’ll get the Chairman immediately."

This Chief Shen seemed to have set his sights on Changsheng Group, becoming quite assertive. Smart people should know that when police show a resolute and impartial face, it’s best not to engage in too much pointless talk with them.

Li Changsheng rushed back from outside, habitually shook hands with Number 88, shook hands with Shen Yinchuan, and habitually ignored Lin Xiaosu.

As usual, he opened the inner office, and the secretary, as usual, brought four cups of tea.

Everything was the same as yesterday.

Lin Xiaosu, just like yesterday, looked around the office, his expression indifferent.

"Did the leaders come today because there were some questions left unresolved from yesterday?" Li Changsheng said.

Lin Xiaosu spoke up: "Today, we came to ask Chairman Li to accompany us on a tour around the company."

"A tour around the company?" Li Changsheng’s brow furrowed slightly.

Lin Xiaosu’s smile was ambiguous: "Why? Is Chairman Li worried that we might see some secrets that aren’t convenient for outsiders to see?"

Li Changsheng’s face suddenly darkened: "Detective Lin, don’t forget you’re just a detective! It’s probably not your place to give orders here, right?"

Lin Xiaosu responded: "I really wouldn’t have the right, but don’t I have authorization?... Doesn’t Chairman Li want to cooperate?"

Li Changsheng turned to Number 88: "I have no problem cooperating with the government, with the police, but I feel that this detective harbors a deep malice towards Changsheng Group..."

"Lead the way and stop talking nonsense," Number 88 cut in directly.

With those words, the office fell completely silent.

Even the secretary outside turned pale.

She had been with the Chairman long enough, but had never seen this style of conversation.

None of the three of them showed any respect for the Chairman.

Li Changsheng stood up: "Please!"

The word "please" already lacked any respect.

They walked out of the office, Li Changsheng stood in the corridor: "Where shall we go?"

Lin Xiaosu stepped forward, heading towards the elevator ahead.

The elevator doors opened, and the four of them entered, just the four of them!

Even Li Changsheng’s security chief could only stand outside.

The elevator doors closed, Li Changsheng said: "Detective Lin wants a tour, all plans will be led by Detective Lin. Where you decide to go, it’s all up to you!"

He folded his arms.

Ready to watch the situation unfold.

Lin Xiaosu said: "Chairman Li, this is your territory, aren’t you going to press the elevator buttons for us?"

Even Shen Yinchuan felt that Lin Xiaosu was being too much.

After all, the other party was still the head of a major group.

Just taking the elevator, do they really need to insist on someone else pressing the button?

What a trivial matter.

He reached out his hand, "Tell me, which floor!"

Lin Xiaosu suddenly reached out, grabbing his hand: "Let Chairman Li do it."

"This..." Shen Yinchuan’s gaze turned to number 88.

This kid is spoiled and arrogant, putting on airs in front of Li Changsheng. Are you really not going to manage him, leader?

Lin Xiaosu raised her eyes: "What’s wrong, does Chairman Li think I can’t uncover the secrets of this elevator?"

Shen Yinchuan and number 88 both felt a jolt in their hearts.

The elevator has secrets?

Li Changsheng’s expression was dark as water: "Nonsense! An elevator is just an elevator, what secrets could it hold?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "There’s a special type of elevator that operates on fingerprints. Ordinary people press it, it goes to the normal floors, but if someone whose fingerprint has been pre-recorded presses it, it can open a secret floor..."

He suddenly reached out, grabbing Li Changsheng’s right hand thumb and pressing it directly on the elevator’s down button, then switched to another finger pressing it three times on the button for the negative first floor!

The elevator started, Li Changsheng’s face instantly drained of color, and his face seemed to suddenly wear a mask.

His fingers strongly resisted.

However, Lin Xiaosu increased her strength and the resistance was ineffective.

In the elevator, number 88’s eyes suddenly shone like autumn waters...

He caught Lin Xiaosu’s eye and it was so resolute...

The elevator descended rapidly.

But to everyone inside it felt very slow.

A soft beep sounded.

The elevator reached the bottom.

The elevator doors opened and four people stepped out into a hallway in front of a door.

"Chairman Li, please look up!" Lin Xiaosu pushed, and with a strong force, Li Changsheng was pushed to the door.

A red light from the door swept over Li Changsheng’s face. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

"Open your eyes!" Lin Xiaosu ordered.

Li Changsheng’s eyelids slowly opened, Beep!

The door opened, revealing an office - at least, it seemed to be just an office.

"May I ask, Chairman Li, what is this place?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Li Changsheng’s complexion bizarrely returned to normal: "This is one of my offices. It’s quieter to work here when I’m tired from socializing. Any problem?"

"Yesterday, you notified Tong Yadong to go to Luoba State to lay low, notified three pharmaceutical companies to destroy records, and sensitive personnel to leave. Was it from here you ordered it?"

"Nonsense!" Li Changsheng, agitated, took several steps towards Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu raised her hand, turning the computer screen towards the three men at the desk; a communication program on the computer was activated.

A dialogue box opened, displaying a mix of numbers and symbols as a code.

Number 88’s heart leaped; having dealings with Nine Headed Snake wasn’t new for him; he knew this was the secret communication software used by Nine Headed Snake, relying on satellites, though not domestic ones, heavily encrypted, and the numerical codes represented the identities of Nine Headed Snake members.

Just this kind of secret office, plus a Nine Headed Snake-specific communication program on the computer, definitively declared Li Changsheng as a member of Nine Headed Snake!

But, in the moment he suddenly looked up, Li Changsheng moved!

He moved, fast as lightning, retreating to the inner side of the door!

Shen Yinchuan, being the head of the Criminal Investigation Team of Jiangcheng, and also a rare Genetic People within the police forces, had exceptionally fast reactions, but Li Changsheng caught him off-guard.

And at this time, Lin Xiaosu was collecting evidence in front of the computer, number 88 saw the evidence and was momentarily destabilized, Li Changsheng seized this gap, rushing through that inside door.

However, the reaction of the three was ultimately top-notch.

As soon as the door closed.

Boom!

Beneath number 88’s kick, the door shattered into pieces.

Almost simultaneously, the three of them charged through this door.

Behind the door, a strange glass partition, Li Changsheng stood behind it.

Bang!

Shen Yinchuan fired his gun!

This shot was deafening in the basement, but the bullet, hitting the glass partition, didn’t leave a mark.

Number 88’s expression changed, Dragon Scale swept through the air, a faint dragon chant, yet the glass partition remained unmarked.

Boom!

Lin Xiaosu punched out, like striking a giant mountain, the glass still just glass, but behind the glass, Li Changsheng never even blinked.

"Don’t bother, this barrier is made of U31!" Li Changsheng said, "A rocket couldn’t even break it, the switch is on my side."

U31!

Number 88’s complexion changed.

Shen Yinchuan might not know what U31 means, but being Qianlong, he certainly knew that it was a secret composite material produced by Nine Headed Snake, used on killer robots to protect the core components of the robots, and in direct conflicts with Qianlong, it had even caused significant casualties to the Qianlong Gold Medal.

"U31, a Nine Headed Snake exclusive material! Li Changsheng, you’re not hiding anything now!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Li Changsheng sighed softly: "With all cards unfolded, there’s no need to hide... I must admit, Lin Xiaosu, you are terrifying, more terrifying than any Qianlong I’ve encountered!"

"That might be too flattering!" Lin Xiaosu responded: "I wonder which aspect you’re referring to."

"Like the tactic you used yesterday, the well-known strategy of feigning a punch to admonish a miscreant, many people use it, but your tactic, wasn’t just cunning, it was a scare - that’s what’s truly terrifying."
