Chapter 136: The Answer

“Wei Wan looked at Jiang Xincheng and said sincerely, Mr. Jiang, could you tell us why? Experimental Product No.1 is the result of nine months of hard work by all members of Weiliang Company, and it is our dream. It decides the survival of Weiliang Company. You can’t just order its destruction with a single sentence. Could you tell us the reason? We can make corrections; we can modify its effects. Please don’t destroy our new product.”

Jiang Xincheng shook his head and said coldly, No, Experimental Product No.1 must be destroyed. No data can be kept, and none of you can continue researching it. Otherwise, everything in Weiliang Company will be destroyed, including all of you.

His stern tone and merciless words made everyone in Weiliang Company feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them. For a moment, they were speechless. Fear appeared on their delicate faces, and their gazes at Jiang Xincheng were filled with hatred and anger.

Clearly, in the hearts of these female employees, Jiang Xincheng was no different from a great demon king.

You can’t do this, wu wu… Weiliang Company is the result of all our hard work. We spent so much time and invested so much to finally create Experimental Product No.1. Its effects are amazing. It is the dream of all of us. You can’t just destroy it like this.

Right then, a pretty round-faced girl suddenly started crying. As she cried, many of the young girls in Weiliang Company pouted and burst into tears.

I put all my money and effort into the research and development of Experimental Product No.1. I gave so much for it. How can you destroy it with just one sentence? If you want to destroy it, destroy me first.

Sir, please be merciful and let us off, or tell us how to modify the new product and we will do it. As long as you don’t destroy our new product, we will do anything.

We worked so hard to create this new product. It will surely lead the fashion trend and become the best-selling skincare product in the Shenxia Alliance. What you are doing is against the law.

He must have taken a liking to our new product, so he is bullying us like this to get it. We refuse to accept this. We will appeal; we will sue you.

…

Bang!

Right then, a gunshot pierced through the noise. Under the horrified gazes of all Weiliang Company employees, Jiang Xincheng fired his gun. With the gunshot, a pretty young woman in her late twenties, who was standing at the front, suddenly collapsed to the ground. Many of the crying Weiliang Company employees felt a chill and immediately stopped crying. They looked fearfully at the beautiful young woman on the ground and at Jiang Xincheng, who was aiming his gun at them from dozens of meters away.

However, Jiang Xincheng was also confused. His shot had clearly been aimed at the wall behind the female employees of Weiliang Company. He had not hit the pretty young woman, so why had she collapsed?

You… how could you do this? They only said a few angry words. There’s no need to kill anyone,” Wei Wan said, looking at Jiang Xincheng in disbelief.

Hurry, call the hospital for an ambulance. Quick, maybe Sister Li can still be saved.

The people of the Flourishing Tang Empire are so cruel. What did we do wrong for you to treat us like this? You murderer.

I will definitely report this to the television station and let the entire alliance judge. Can the people of the Flourishing Tang Empire kill so recklessly?

…

The girls of Weiliang Company angrily denounced Jiang Xincheng. Meanwhile, a few girls went to help the young woman on the ground, wanting to see if she was still breathing.

Sister Li is fine. There’s no bullet hole on her. It seems Sister Li wasn’t hit.

But why did she collapse? Look again. Maybe the bullet hit a hidden spot, so you didn’t see it.

Ah, Sister Li woke up. She was just scared and thought the bullet hit her. Sister Li is fine. No need to call the police.

…

Soon, the girls of Weiliang Company realized that what had happened was just a misunderstanding. That young woman had not been shot at all. She collapsed because she saw Jiang Xincheng’s pistol aimed at her and fired. She thought she was going to be shot and killed, so she fainted on the spot.

I… I’m sorry,” Wei Wan said to Jiang Xincheng, her face blushing. Jiang Xincheng raised his eyebrows, surprised that such a misunderstanding had occurred.

Jiang Xincheng waved his hand. This is just a small matter. I hope you will cooperate with my work, destroy everything related to Experimental Product No.1, and guarantee that you will never produce it again. This matter will then be over. However, from now on, all of you in Weiliang Company will be under the surveillance of the Flourishing Tang Empire.

What is wrong with Experimental Product No.1 that the Flourishing Tang Empire treats us like this? We conducted hundreds of thousands of tests. Experimental Product No.1 is not only harmless to the human body but also makes the user’s skin smooth and keeps them young. Its effects are so strong that it is one of the best skincare products on Earth. Weiliang Company put in so much effort and had a stroke of luck to finally research and develop it. Why does the Flourishing Tang Empire want to destroy Experimental Product No.1? Is it really as they said, that someone has taken a liking to our Experimental Product No.1 and issued such a cruel order?”

The speaker was a pretty woman in her twenties with an oval face and a petite figure. Her strength had reached the Bone Forging Initial Stage, and her talent and aptitude were quite good.

She was Chen Lingling, the vice president of Weiliang Company, in charge of research. The creation of Experimental Product No.1 was closely related to her. One could even say that without Chen Lingling, there would be no Experimental Product No.1.

She looked at Jiang Xincheng with a pleading expression and said tearfully, All of us put in so much effort. Many people invested all their savings and energy into this new product. We spent so much time and put in so much work. We went through countless hardships to finally, by chance, develop Experimental Product No.1. Just when we were about to see the results, and Weiliang Company could continue to survive, you want to destroy this world-class new product. I know the Flourishing Tang Empire has immense power, with many experts and members who are all highly skilled in martial arts. But people should be reasonable. This is a society ruled by law. Even Great Yuan Warriors in the Cloud Condensation Realm and Rain Transformation Realm must obey alliance laws. You must give us a reason for doing this. Can you tell us why?

Chen Lingling looked at Jiang Xincheng with tears streaming down her face. She was already crying. Many of the girls in Weiliang Company also had tears in their eyes, staring intently at Jiang Xincheng. Their pretty faces were already a mess from crying as they waited for Jiang Xincheng’s answer.
