How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 362 Facing Qixing Group’s Xia Zhongliang

"Chairman..." The secretary panicked. "How about I go instead? If you head directly to the venue, it would affect..."

"I am concerned about the impact, yet he isn’t? The ’Comprehensive Plan’ was thrown out without review! Who does he think he is? Is he still a university professor, capable of such scholarly idealism?" Lei Xiaojun waved his hand and strode out of the chairman’s office.

With a stern face, he entered the elevator, heading straight to the thirteenth floor.

"Chairman!" People he met along the way bowed sequentially.

Lei Xiaojun didn’t even glance at them, advancing forcefully until he reached the meeting room door, extending his hand, and pushing it open powerfully.

As the door was pushed open!

Lei Xiaojun was stunned...

His secretary behind him was also stunned...

In the meeting room, there was no lecture by Ding Lizhong, only an atmosphere so serious it was suffocating.

On the podium sat Ding Lizhong, but not only him; Mayor He Gaosheng, Zhan Hongyun from the State Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and even the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team in uniform were present.

Below, more than a hundred researchers placed their hands on the table.

All eyes turned simultaneously towards Lei Xiaojun.

"Mayor He..." Lei Xiaojun took a deep breath.

"Come in, and close the door!" He Gaosheng said in a deep voice.

Lei Xiaojun entered the office, and the secretary followed, shutting the door. Her face was completely pale.

"Chairman Lei, I didn’t plan to confront you so soon!" He Gaosheng leaned slightly forward. "But since you insisted on heading towards this collision, we can only reveal all."

"Mayor He, what on earth is happening?" Lei Xiaojun was at a loss.

"Director Zhan, please explain!" He Gaosheng said.

Zhan Hongyun slowly stood up. "Chairman Lei, the cooperation agreement you signed with the Qixing Group has triggered a very serious incident. The vice president of the technology department, whom you personally promoted, Li Yubin, is the leader of an overseas organization. Your in-law Xia Zhongliang’s son, your daughter’s boyfriend, is a major suspect. In light of this, you are deemed unfit to continue as chairman of Changsheng Group. I will immediately call for a shareholders’ meeting to relieve you of your chairman duties!"

In one sentence, Lei Xiaojun was removed from the chairmanship of Changsheng Group.

This is the power of the largest shareholder.

Because this largest shareholder holds 51% of the shares, he has absolute control over the company, and even if all the other shareholders oppose, the largest shareholder can pass any resolution.

Therefore, what Zhan Hongyun said about "requesting a shareholders’ meeting decision" was, in fact, already decided!

From this moment, Lei Xiaojun was no longer the chairman.

Lei Xiaojun felt ice-cold all over...

The pride and confidence with which he left the chairman’s office turned into dejection.

He had the justification to accuse Ding Lizhong, because releasing the group’s most core strategic plan without his approval as chairman was a serious violation of the company’s bylaws.

Now, that justification was gone.

Because he was no longer the chairman.

The position was not the most important thing; what mattered was that Lei Xiaojun was in trouble, trouble of unparalleled magnitude...

Shen Yinchuan also stood up. "Lei Xiaojun, please sit to the left and keep your hands where we can see them to avoid any misunderstandings! The same goes for that secretary!"

This time, the list of those confined in the meeting room increased by two more.

Eyes were cast into the sky, looking towards the Qianlong Flying Car.

The flying car shot like an arrow, heading straight for Yangcheng.

Blue Demon’s face lost its customary charming smile, replaced by seriousness.

Yixiang was a bit tense too, as evidenced by the sweat on her hands.

Among the three of them, only Lin Xiaosu remained calm.

He stretched out his hand, holding Yixiang’s hand. As Yixiang turned her face towards him, she gave him a gentle smile, soothing her nervousness effectively.

"My people report that Xia Tian has just entered the Qixing Group headquarters, together with his father Xia Zhongliang," Blue Demon said.

"Good!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Directly storming the Qixing Group headquarters?" Blue Demon’s eyes flickered slightly.

"I understand your meaning. At this moment, we can’t ascertain what role the Qixing Group plays in all this. Procedurally, we can’t act directly, but that’s alright. We won’t violate procedures. Today, we aren’t targeting Xia Zhongliang or investigating the Qixing Group; we just need Xia Tian!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"I’m not worried about Xia Tian or Xia Zhongliang, but rather... that startling the enemy might introduce uncontrollable variables." Blue Demon said.

Blue Demon is the Qianlong King.

She naturally understood the danger of the situation before them.

The issue of the Life Soul Gu became clear in Jiangcheng, turning the worst fears into reality.

Within one Changsheng Group, over a hundred scientists have been afflicted by the Life Soul Gu.

Across all of Daxia, how many could there be?

This is a figure that sends chills down the spine at the mere thought.

The enemy is hidden, while they are exposed.

Once the enemy is startled, there are a myriad of possibilities.

Each possibility could cause irreversible damage across all fronts of Daxia.

No one knows to which shore this storm will sweep...

On the battlefield, she had feared no one.

In the spy games she controlled, she was always the rule maker; everyone was a piece on her chessboard, and she feared nothing.

However, the perilous situation today, if it were a spy game, was not under her control.

Therefore, this formidable master of the battlefield and the espionage paths, the reigning Qianlong King, felt no sense of assurance in her heart.

"To trigger uncontrollable variables, your worry is justified, but King Lantian, you need to look at the problem from another angle. The variable itself already exists, and it is inherently uncontrollable. It’s not because of us lifting this lid that it becomes uncontrollable."

Blue Demon nodded slowly: "Yes! Things have already deteriorated to the extreme. Even if we lift the lid, it won’t make it worse!"

"We need to be prepared. This upheaval is bound to bring pain, and it is destined to have sacrifices." Lin Xiaosu’s gaze was cast to the heavens: "But you also have to accept a fact. Currently on Daxia Country’s soil, across various battlefields, those who have been implanted with the Life Soul Gu, in reality, already have one foot stepping into the Ghost Gate or an abyss of eternal damnation. If we don’t make a decisive move, they all will be beyond redemption!"

This statement from Lin Xiaosu, though light, was like clearing the skies to reveal the sun, sweeping away all of Blue Demon’s inner conflicts.

The fact is already there.

Those affected by the Life Soul Gu are either going to die or become undercover traitors planted by Nine Headed Snake on various fronts.

No matter which path they choose, in fact, they are already beyond redemption.

Blue Demon took a deep breath: "So, we should not be constrained by ’how many people will die,’ but should strive for ’how many people can be saved!’"

Lin Xiaosu silently grimaced.

It could hardly be called a smile, but there was a bit of relief.

Overall, Blue Demon is considered to be adaptable.

Standing in the position of Qianlong King, she is definitely considered adaptable.

Qianlong members have been indoctrinated with a sense of duty that surpasses everything. It is indeed difficult for them to be adaptable.

Each of them is actually an extreme perfectionist, always eager to ensure that the innocent do not get hurt in any crisis.

In terms of personal conduct, this is undoubtedly very good.

However, in terms of handling matters, it inevitably restricts them.

Under normal circumstances, it might be fine, but when facing a major crisis, once you have the mindset of ’being constrained,’ it can lead to the most terrifying outcomes. The more afraid you are, the more emboldened the enemy becomes. The more scared you are of causing harm, the more harm you often receive.

"We’ve arrived!"

Lin Xiaosu said.

Beneath the flying car was Yangcheng.

The destination was the coastal area to the south: the headquarters tower of Qixing Group.

The flying car directly landed in the company’s internal parking lot.

This landing was unnoticed by others, but it alerted the security department of Qixing Group.

The security department, responsible for safety and external flying car landings, managed these high-tech companies with entry protocols; not just any random outsiders could enter freely.

Any flying car wishing to bypass the gatekeeper and courtyard walls to land directly inside the company must undergo verification or file for permission. However, this landed flying car had no filed permission and had not been verified.

The security department’s head, Li Qingyang, did not delay even for a moment, arriving with three people in front of the flying car the moment it stabilized.

His hand raised sharply, extremely stern: "Who are you?"

In a whoosh, the three behind him simultaneously spread out in a severely disciplined combat formation.

The security department personnel were all Genetic People, especially in the headquarters of a large group, where every member was an elite among Genetic People, receiving lucrative salaries and constantly trained to maintain the best combat readiness.

The door of the flying car slid open silently.

Inside, someone slowly raised their hand!

In her hand was a token!

A snow-white token, crafted from pure silver, with a lifelike golden dragon on its silver surface.

On its front were two characters: Qianlong.

A flip of the token revealed an ancient character on its reverse: Order!

Hidden Dragon Order!

A token that only a Qianlong King would have.

Once displayed, its intimidation is unparalleled, and the higher up someone is, the more they understand its intimidation.

Li Qingyang might not know the difference between a Hidden Dragon Order and a Qianlong Gold Medal, but he could recognize the characters.

He recognized the Qianlong characters, his eyes suddenly fixed: "Qianlong!"

"Qianlong is handling this case. Everyone must abide by the order!" Blue Demon said coldly: "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Li Qingyang replied.

"You, take us to the chairman’s office!" Blue Demon pointed at Li Qingyang.

"The chairman... the chairman needs an appointment, leader, can I make a call to report this?"

"No need to report, just go!" Blue Demon’s face sank.

Li Qingyang led the way, followed closely by Blue Demon, Lin Xiaosu, and Yixiang.

They went directly into the headquarters office building.

The headquarters office building is heavily guarded, with facial recognition and iris recognition everywhere, but with Li Qingyang leading the way, there was naturally no problem. They boarded the elevator and reached the seventh floor, where a gentle ding sound indicated arrival.

The seventh floor is the space of the chairman Xia Zhongliang, the entire floor belongs to him.

There is a private reception room, a private garden, a tea room, a meeting room, and even a swimming pool; the pool is on the left side, half enclosed and half transparent. As they walked through the corridor here, Yixiang vaguely saw a bit of the pool’s scenery, leaving her completely astonished.

No wonder she was surprised; in fact, anyone would be.

This is a true metropolis with a population of millions, where land is incredibly valuable.

If someone here manages to own a ten-square-meter little room, they’re considered successful, yet Xia Zhongliang has a garden and a swimming pool. Owning such things at ground level is enviable, and moving them to a high-rise is unimaginable?

This is the true prominent business figure.

And can only be a prominent business figure in the private sector.

Even the heads of state-owned enterprises are not allowed such extravagance.
