Chapter Summary
Before leaving, they warned Wei Xiong that during this period, no matter what happens to you, you are not allowed to leave this city. Looking at the mess in the square outside and the hundreds of injured civilians, Wei Xiong punched the door. No matter what Liu Ning said, he said that the previous checkpoint had already checked the car, but the next checkpoint did not let him pass.
Before leaving, they warned Wei Xiong that during this period, no matter what happens to you, you are not allowed to leave this city.
The convoy left in an orderly fashion. Looking at the mess in the square outside and the hundreds of injured civilians, Wei Xiong punched the door. He really wanted to fight these people, but if he acted impulsively, the consequences would be unbearable.
After dealing with the matters at the square, Wei Xiong was preparing to go home to rest when these businessmen blocked his way. They had suffered heavy losses that day and therefore needed some compensation from Wei Xiong. If they had to bear all the losses themselves, they would have lost more than half a year's profits.
To be honest, Wei Xiong really wanted to compensate these people. Their losses this time amounted to over 20 million yuan. Wei Xiong usually had a good relationship with them, and it would be unreasonable not to compensate them at all, since this matter was directly related to us.
Besides, if you offend these merchants, it won't be so easy to sell things in the future.
Just as Wei Xiong was about to speak, Zhang Chu pulled him back, and Liu Ning instantly understood.
Under normal circumstances, if this matter didn't involve the Xue family and was just a simple compensation case, it would be perfectly acceptable for us to contribute some money or do something for them. However, now that scholars are involved, and the case is so sensitive, if we actually provide compensation, it will create suspicion. If they say even a single word to the Xue family, we might be investigated again. So, it's up to you to suffer the loss; it has nothing to do with us. Only in this way can we appear to feel no guilt.
"Brothers, I'm afraid this won't work. We've been in this business for a while now, you should understand the rules of this world. Once the transaction is complete, these things have nothing to do with me. This afternoon, when we were trading, you used all sorts of instruments to calculate and said my goods were top-quality. As for what happened afterward, it has absolutely nothing to do with me. If you want compensation, you can go to the Xue family for it. I won't be playing along."
Wei Xiong's expression changed quickly. Before these people could react, Wei Xiong immediately spoke these words, which startled them. Normally, Wei Xiong would not be so forceful. However, they soon understood that Wei Xiong's forces had increased significantly. Not only had he merged with Zhang Chu's gathering point, but he had also gained a genius teenager and the third leader of the Number Gang. Now, he was truly not to be underestimated.
"Old Wei, what you're doing is a bit of a scoundrel..."
Among the merchants was one who was still unwilling to give up. In fact, when the high-ranking warrior left, he gave this guy a look. He was secretly helping the Xue family, and he also wanted to test Wei Xiong's side.
"I'm sure you understand how helpless I am. If I could make the decision, I would never have searched these things. These things were all searched by those people just now. You don't dare to mess with the Xue family, but instead you're blocking our way. Let me be clear, if you guys want to have a match, I'm afraid you're not qualified. Whether it's martial arts or literary skills, we're not afraid."
Wei Xiong sneered. These people were obviously looking for trouble. If they had talked things out, we would have given them something. But with their attitude, we wouldn't give them anything.
After hearing Wei Xiong's words, these people felt a jolt in their hearts. They had known that Wei Xiong was arrogant, but they didn't expect him to be this arrogant. In their eyes, Wei Xiong used to be someone they could only tolerate, but after his strength increased greatly, he seemed to have forgotten their kindness. But that's how the apocalypse is. They could only leave cursing. They couldn't beat him in a fight, and they weren't in the right either.
Actually, upon closer reflection, this was an unexpected event. When Wei Xiong sold them the goods, he probably didn't know that the young master of the Xue family had died outside the city. So these merchants didn't pursue the matter any further and simply made up for it elsewhere.
Wei Xiong said something to the people around him, and then everyone prepared to leave. The outside was a mess, and more than a dozen people were hospitalized. Wei Xiong was going to the hospital to check on them.
Liu Ning had originally planned to go along, but Wei Xiong sent him home. Liu Ning was still a child and not suitable to be out in public. With so many checkpoints on the streets, if Liu Ning got a little nervous, he could easily cause a lot of trouble. It was better to let him stay home.
Liu Ning could only nod and drive out of the gathering point. When he got to the main road, he was even more shocked by the power of the scholars. Whether it was the main road, the side streets, or the alleys that everyone usually walked through, there were basically scholars' personnel everywhere, and everyone had to be checked.
They knew those ferocious beasts wouldn't appear in this place, but for some reason, they were checking very thoroughly. Suddenly, a thought crossed Liu Ning's mind: were these researchers going too far? If it was just to find the beasts, they couldn't possibly be checking the entire area, could they? Did that guy have something important on him? Or some important information? Otherwise, why would they be doing this?
On his way home, Liu Ning's car was checked several times. The distance between the previous checkpoint and the next checkpoint was only a little over 1 kilometer. No matter what Liu Ning said, he said that the previous checkpoint had already checked the car, but the next checkpoint did not let him pass.
It was impossible for any information to have been missed; something must have been lost. Liu Ning made a quick judgment: Xue Yang must have something important on him. He had taken everything that Xue Yang had, which meant that there was a high chance that the important thing was on him.
Is it really that valuable? When it comes to money, those things are very valuable to Liu Ning, but they should be ordinary to Xue Yang. However, for the Xue family, they are just a drop in the ocean. It is impossible for them to mobilize so many people to recover this money. The Xue family has major companies all over the world and makes money faster than a printing press, which means that this thing is very important.
