Chapter 135: Destruction

Jiang Xincheng’s current position in the Flourishing Tang Empire was Leader of Ten. He could command ten Elite Soldiers of the Flourishing Tang Empire when needed, or a hundred police officers, armed police, or soldiers from the Shenxia Alliance.

To make this task easier, Jiang Xincheng planned to get some police officers from the Liangnian City Department of Public Security. However, after Wang Siwu found out, he directly sent a hundred of Liangnian City’s most elite police officers to help Jiang Xincheng complete the task, making sure he wouldn’t face any danger.

For Wang Siwu’s kindness, Jiang Xincheng gave a bitter smile but did not refuse. The people were already here; sending them away would be unkind. Besides, this mission wasn’t dangerous. He could handle it alone, actually. Calling a few police officers was just for convenience.

He didn’t expect Wang Siwu to send so many. It made Jiang Xincheng’s arrival very grand. As soon as he appeared in front of the Weiliang Company, he immediately frightened the two security guards in their thirties, who were at the Muscle Training Realm, leaving them at a loss.

“G-gentlemen, what are you planning to do?” The square-faced guard stuttered as he asked.

Jiang Xincheng said calmly, “The Sheng Tang is handling business. Step aside!”

With these words, Jiang Xincheng walked straight into the Weiliang Company. A hundred police officers filed in closely behind him. The two guards did not dare to stop them and could only watch as Jiang Xincheng led the large group into the Weiliang Company.

“Who are you?”

“What’s going on? Why are the police at our company?”

“Quick, call Sister Wan. Let her come see what’s happening.”

…

The young, pretty girls in the Weiliang Company were stunned when they suddenly saw Jiang Xincheng arriving with a large group. After their initial shock, they exclaimed in surprise. Soon, several more girls came out from inside the Weiliang Company, looking nervously at Jiang Xincheng and the others, unsure of what was happening.

“Control everyone. Don’t let anyone leave.” Jiang Xincheng waved his hand. The hundred police officers responded respectfully and rushed toward everyone in the Weiliang Company. Amid the girls’ startled cries, they restrained them all.

At the same time, they secured all the key entry and exit points of the company, preventing anyone from leaving.

“Sir… Minister, may I ask what crime our Weiliang Company has committed that you are treating us like this?” From among the group of girls, a woman with an oval face, straight eyebrows, and a rather imposing presence stepped forward. She looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Her strength was quite good too—at the Bone Tempering Late Stage peak, just one step away from the Cloud Condensation Realm. She looked at Jiang Xincheng and addressed him cautiously.

She was the boss of Weiliang Company, Wei Wan. A few months ago, she and a few sisters pooled over ten million Credit Points to establish the Weiliang Company. Decades later, it grew into one of the top ten super corporations in the Shenxia Alliance, becoming one of the legends of the entire Earth.

In his previous life, Wei Wan was a major figure Jiang Xincheng could only look up to from afar, high above. He didn’t even have the right to speak to her. Yet, after being reborn, he actually had the chance to come and cause trouble for Wei Wan.

Looking at Wei Wan’s cautious face, Jiang Xincheng smiled faintly and took out his Ten-Leader Token. “I am Jiang Xincheng, Leader of Ten of the Sheng Tang. I am here under orders to investigate a matter.”

“The Flourishing Tang Empire?” Wei Wan’s face was full of shock. “Is it that Flourishing Tang Empire that operates behind the scenes in the Shenxia Alliance? The one that holds great power and commands everything?”

Jiang Xincheng nodded. “Yes, it is the Flourishing Tang Empire you are thinking of.”

“Ah…” Having confirmed her guess, Wei Wan couldn’t help but gasp, staring at Jiang Xincheng in disbelief. To her, the Flourishing Tang Empire only existed in legends. She had only heard about it a few times. It was said that the Flourishing Tang Empire was one of the most powerful and fearsome forces in the Shenxia Alliance, above the government, possessing authority and wealth that terrified ordinary people.

The Flourishing Tang Empire was the semi-hidden Guardian Deity of the Shenxia Alliance. Every member of the Empire was an outstanding figure among Primordial Warriors, a genius among geniuses. They traveled all over the globe, completing tasks issued by the Flourishing Tang Empire. They possessed extremely formidable strength and specifically targeted vicious criminals who committed murder, arson, and other heinous acts.

But her Weiliang Company hadn’t done anything vile. Why would the Flourishing Tang Empire send so many people? It seemed clearly hostile. What should she do now?

Most of the Weiliang Company employees around had not heard of the Flourishing Tang Empire. But seeing Jiang Xincheng able to command so many police officers, and looking at Boss Wei Wan’s horrified expression, they naturally deduced that the Flourishing Tang Empire was extraordinary. They all looked nervously at Jiang Xincheng, feeling uneasy.

“Mr. Jiang, may I ask what crime our Weiliang Company has committed to provoke the Flourishing Tang Empire to investigate us?” Wei Wan’s heart turned cold as she asked, extremely anxious.

Jiang Xincheng said, “Has the Weiliang Company just developed an Experimental Product No.1 and is preparing to put it into production?”

“This…” Wei Wan froze for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, this is the result of our company’s research over the past few months. It’s a very effective skincare product. We were planning to apply for a patent in the next few days, then produce and sell it.”

Jiang Xincheng frowned. “I want this new product completely destroyed. At the same time, all data related to it must be erased. Also, all people involved in developing this new product will be placed under surveillance by the Flourishing Tang Empire from today onward. If anyone dares to produce it privately again or sell the information to others, the Flourishing Tang Empire will issue an execution order. All involved will be eliminated.”

“Ah… Why?”

“No way! We only developed a skincare product. How can you treat us like this?”

“What’s wrong with our new product? Its skincare effects are so good. Why destroy our new product and all the data? At least give us an explanation.”

…

As soon as Jiang Xincheng finished speaking, the girls of the Weiliang Company erupted in chaos. They looked at Jiang Xincheng in disbelief, shouting one after another, demanding an explanation.

Jiang Xincheng ignored the questioning from the pretty girls. He just watched quietly, a cold light flashing in his eyes. The hundred police officers slowly drew their pistols, aiming them at the girls who were excitedly and angrily questioning Jiang Xincheng.

This scene stunned the furious girls. Then, one by one, they trembled and did not dare to speak again. Facing the dark muzzles of the guns and Jiang Xincheng’s cold expression, the girls, whose minds had been clouded by anger, immediately calmed down and no longer dared to speak.

But in their eyes, as they looked at Jiang Xincheng, there was only resentment and hatred. Clearly, in their view, Jiang Xincheng had become the embodiment of a demon king, pushing their Weiliang Company into a hopeless abyss.

The Weiliang Company had spent several months, almost going all-in, to finally develop this Experimental Product No.1. All the employees were counting on this new product to turn things around, to make the Weiliang Company famous overnight, gaining substantial profits and great renown so they could get their salaries and bonuses.

But they didn’t expect this great demon, Jiang Xincheng, to come just as they were preparing to produce Experimental Product No.1, saying he wanted to destroy it. How could the employees of Weiliang Company not feel hatred and anger?
