Chapter 120: A Trash Here to Fake Merits?

Because of what he discovered at the cafe, Jiang Xincheng decided to hide his abilities. He deliberately acted like someone who was there just to fake merits, which made He Lin very angry. At the same time, this act fooled the West Street Pack of Wolves, preventing them from targeting him in advance.

When the time came for the transaction, Jiang Xincheng would be a powerful hidden card, playing an unexpected role at the critical moment. This was Jiang Xincheng’s small plan.

The next afternoon, inside the underground building of Zhengxin Group, He Lin and He Juzheng stood on the platform. Below them were nearly a hundred experts from Zhengxin Group. A small portion of them were Primordial Warriors at the Bone Training Realm, while the rest were Primordial Warriors at the Tendon Training Realm.

He Juzheng looked at everyone below and said seriously, “How important this transaction is, I believe all of you know. It could be said that this transaction is related to the rise and fall of our He family for the next few decades, and it is also related to the survival of Zhengxin Group. Most of you are members of the He family, and the rest are core members of Zhengxin Group. The life and death of the He family and Zhengxin Group are closely tied to all of you. So for this transaction, I ask everyone to give it your all.”

“If we succeed, everyone will receive a red envelope based on their contribution, with a minimum of one hundred thousand and a maximum of ten million. Thank you all.”

As he spoke, He Juzheng bowed deeply to everyone. This made the many Primordial Warriors below change their expressions, and their faces turned serious.

“Let’s go!”

With He Juzheng’s command, everyone filed into the bulletproof vehicles. They escorted a silver box containing six jin of Yuan Ning Shui and drove out of Zhengxin Building.

“Dad, that trash from the Flourishing Tang Empire hasn’t arrived yet?”

At that moment, He Lin looked around and frowned, her pretty brows tightening.

He Juzheng also frowned and looked at a long-faced middle-aged man in front. “Licang, go call that Jiang Xincheng from the Flourishing Tang Empire.”

“Alright, where is he?” The long-faced man, Qi Licang, nodded.

He Lin said, “He is in room 121 of Wanshu Grand Hotel. When you go to call him, teach that bastard a lesson. Hmph, a trash here to fake merits.”

Qi Licang nodded and smiled. “I understand, Miss. He’s just a Primordial Warrior at the Bone Forging Initial Stage. I can crush him easily.”

“Don’t go too far. After all, he is a member of the Flourishing Tang Empire, and his talent and aptitude are not bad. If we offend him too much and he seeks revenge, it could be troublesome,” He Juzheng reminded.

Qi Licang smiled. “Chairman and Miss, rest assured. I know my limits.”

With that, Qi Licang got out of the vehicle and headed toward the nearby Wanshu Grand Hotel. The convoy also stopped, waiting for Jiang Xincheng, the rookie Primordial Warrior from the Flourishing Tang Empire, to arrive.

He Lin and He Juzheng had already told the experts of Zhengxin Group about Jiang Xincheng, so these people did not have a good attitude toward him. Some even looked down on him with disdain.

For such an important transaction, everyone was on high alert and extremely cautious about the matter. They also hoped their side would have one more powerful expert. But to their surprise, after spending so much money, they ended up with a trash here to fake merits. This made everyone somewhat angry, even furious, so their attitude toward Jiang Xincheng was naturally not good.

Qi Licang went straight to room 121 of Wanshu Grand Hotel. He reached the door in a few minutes and knocked. Jiang Xincheng’s voice came from inside. “Who is it?”

“Qi Licang, captain of the security team at Zhengxin Group. We need to go for the transaction. Let’s go,” Qi Licang said coldly, his tone unfriendly.

Jiang Xincheng naturally heard the indifference in Qi Licang’s words and smiled faintly. “Come in. The door isn’t locked. We’ll leave after I finish eating.”

Qi Licang’s expression changed. He pushed the door open and saw Jiang Xincheng sitting leisurely in the living room, eating.

Jiang Xincheng’s dinner was very rich, even excessively so. The table was filled with delicacies from Liangnian City, almost covering the entire table. It was a mouth-watering sight.

Among these delicacies were Dragon Wontons, Douhua, Dandan Noodles, as well as Chuanchuan Xiang and Zhong Dumplings.

The Dragon Wontons had thin skins and tender fillings, smooth and fresh, with a rich, white broth.

The wonton skins were made from premium flour with a few additional ingredients, carefully kneaded and rolled into a semi-transparent state, “thin as paper, fine as silk.” The meat filling was tender, smooth, and fragrant, with a delightful taste.

The original broth for the Dragon Wontons was made from chicken, duck, and meat from several parts of a pig, slowly simmered over high heat. The broth was white, rich, and aromatic.

The Dragon Wontons in front of Jiang Xincheng were the finest kind, specially bought by the staff of Wanshu Grand Hotel from a small alley in Liangnian City.

As for the Douhua, it was tender, smooth, and soft, melting in the mouth yet firm enough to be picked up with chopsticks without breaking. It was enjoyed for the fragrance of the Douhua and the spicy, fresh taste of the dipping sauce.

Dandan Noodles were the most famous snack in Liangnian City. The noodles were made from flour, rolled out, boiled, and topped with fried minced pork. The dish featured thin noodles, a crispy and fragrant sauce, slightly salty and spicy, with an irresistible aroma.

There were also the richly fragrant Zhong Dumplings and the numbing, spicy Chuanchuan Xiang. Jiang Xincheng’s dinner was so lavish it was astonishing, and it filled Qi Licang with anger. “We are all waiting for you, and here you are enjoying delicious food and drinks. Do you have any sense of responsibility?”

“Food is the fuel for the body. If I don’t eat, I’ll be hungry. If I’m not full, how can I fight and kill?” Jiang Xincheng said slowly, picking up a Zhong Dumpling, dipping it in sauce, and eating it. It was fresh, fragrant, and delicious!

Seeing Jiang Xincheng’s expression of enjoyment and thinking of the Zhengxin Group employees waiting solemnly downstairs, Qi Licang became furious. He reached out to grab Jiang Xincheng’s chopsticks, wanting to take them away and throw them. “If you’re a man, come with me now. Everyone is waiting for you downstairs, and here you are leisurely enjoying a feast. Are you really a member of the Flourishing Tang Empire? People say the Flourishing Tang Empire doesn’t keep trash, but from what I see… hmph.”

Although he didn’t say the rest, the meaning was clear to anyone, and Jiang Xincheng was no exception.

However, Jiang Xincheng wasn’t angry. His face still wore a faint smile. Facing Qi Licang’s grab, Jiang Xincheng lightly moved his hand and dodged it, using his chopsticks to pick up some Dandan Noodles. “Let me eat a little more. I’m not full yet. Oh, by the way, the accommodation and food at this Wanshu Grand Hotel are very expensive. I don’t have that much money to pay the bill. So if you want me to go down smoothly and help you protect the Yuan Ning Shui, you should go settle the bill first.”

“You bastard! You’re worse than a woman. Since you’ve taken on the task, you should complete it responsibly, not push it onto others while you stay out of it.” Jiang Xincheng’s actions enraged Qi Licang. With a fierce roar, Qi Licang formed his hands into fists and slammed them heavily toward Jiang Xincheng’s chopsticks and chair, wanting to knock him down and teach him a lesson.
