Su Xingzhi and the Young Boss

Fourth District, downstairs from Xingge Building.

The building has a unique shape, resembling a handkerchief floating in the air, curled up.

At 4 a. m., all access points to the building were sealed off, and each entrance was guarded by more than six fully armed gang members.

Before Qing Chen even got close, someone pointed a gun at him. "Halt! Xingge Building is not accepting business tonight."

Qing Chen thought for a moment, then took out a business card that Jiang Xiaotang had given him from his pocket. "Jiang Xiaotang's younger brother from Begonia Boxing Gym is here to visit."

When he reached his right hand into his pocket, all the security personnel present cocked their guns and became alert.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Qing Chen took out his business card.

Qing Chen pondered to himself that the overall quality of this security team was much stronger than that of ordinary gangs; at the very least, they were well-trained.

A security guard cautiously approached Qing Chen, took the business card from his hand, and after confirming that it belonged to Jiang Xiaotang of Begonia Boxing Gym, calmly said, "Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he pressed a metal button next to the elevator and said, "Tell the boss that people from the Begonia Boxing Gym are here to visit. Should we see them...?"

Two minutes later, a woman's voice came from the metal button. "The boss said he doesn't see anyone, and he closes up after 2 o'clock."

Qing Chen frowned.

Zhang Chengze's current situation is not optimistic, which is easy to judge.

Meeting Gu Huozai and the others yielded at least one benefit: Zhang Chengze did not call Gu Huozai's side.

After the other party transmigrated to the Inner World, they were completely out of contact, which is extremely abnormal.

Let's go through the clues one by one: First, the other party must have been alive at midnight, otherwise the countdown wouldn't have appeared on the arm. Now that only four hours have passed, the probability of them being dead is about 50/50.

Secondly, according to Yi's deduction, the other party should be in Lower Three Districts, being controlled by someone, and the person controlling him is very likely the Kidney Slicer.

Finally, if it's a case of Kidney Slicer euphemism for catching pigs), the work efficiency is actually very high. It is said that these people have a very complete industrial chain. Under normal circumstances, the pigs will not live for more than 8 hours after they are handed over. They will be packaged, refrigerated, and transported to various parts of the Federation.

So, what Qing Chen needs to do now is to find Su Xingzhi before dawn, buy the intelligence, and rescue Zhang Chengze.

He pondered for a moment and said to the security guard, "Tell Boss Su that Qing Xiao Tu is looking for me and see if he's willing to see me. Thank you."

The security guard hesitated for a moment, but seeing Qing Chen's politeness, he finally went to report, "Qing Xiao Tu wants to see the boss, will the boss grant him an audience?"

This time, less than a minute later, the reply came from a young man, "Please ask him to come up the main staircase."

"Okay, boss."

The security guard was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Qing Chen with surprise.

They all knew the boss's voice, and the person who just replied was the boss!

Xingge Building hasn't done business in the middle of the night for many years, except for the last time when Li Dongze came in person. They really can't beat them!

Qing Xiao Tu... Some security guards remembered this name. Isn't he the newly Tigerweight Champion of Begonia Boxing Gym?

Is that the Tigerweight champion who beat the Land Cruiser Class champion?

But why did Boss Su treat him specially?

Why would they refuse to see the owner of the Begonia Boxing Gym, but insist on seeing this Qing Xiao Tu?

You should know that Jiang Xiaotang is a notorious viper in the Fourth District; even the boss turned her away...

Immediately, the security guards became very polite. They quietly lowered their guns and explained, "Sorry about earlier, we were just following the rules."

"It's alright, I understand," Qing Chen replied.

Anbao thought to himself, "This is the Tigerweight champion. I heard that he killed the previous champion when he was promoted to champion. How come he doesn't seem to have any temper at all and is so amiable?"

Qing Chen entered the elevator and was surprised to find that there were only floors 1 and 49 in the entire elevator.

The security guard explained, "This main elevator goes directly to the boss's office; you need to take other elevators to get to other floors."

"I see, thank you," Qing Chen pressed the button for the 49th floor and waited for the elevator to ascend.

Inside the elevator, the walls are made of transparent glass, but the elevator shaft is actually colorful, like a starry sky.

As the elevator car rapidly ascended, Qing Chen felt as if he were in a star tunnel, heading towards the other side of the universe.

With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

Outside the door is a minimalist, spacious residence with black walls, white marble floors, and elegant wood carvings.

From here, you can see the city outside directly through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 49th floor.

"Boss!!" a voice called from outside the elevator. A young man in a white suit strode in. "You've finally come to see me!"

Qing Chen could tell that the voice was exactly the same as the one that had just agreed to let him go upstairs; it must be Su Xingzhi.

However, Su Xingzhi's attitude was completely different from what he had imagined...

Moreover, it's more direct than I imagined...

The other party clearly already knew Qing Chen's identity, and their relationship with Li Shutong was indeed close enough.

The young man gripped Qing Chen's hand tightly, lamenting, "Boss, I've already sent everyone elsewhere. There are no security cameras or recordings here, so I'll be frank: I'm going to file a complaint against Li Dongze. He took all the gene serum from my inventory without paying! Is no one going to do anything about this?!"

Qing Chen was taken aback by what he was being said, and he subtly withdrew his hand. "This... I probably can't handle it."

"I can manage! Of course I can manage. The boss gave instructions when he left City No. 18. Although he can't help you, you are indeed the boss now. If the boss passes away one day, we will all have to listen to you. He will definitely listen to you. You have to stand up for me, boss!" Su Xingzhi was almost in tears.

Qing Chen silently looked at the young man in front of him.

You promised not to do business after 2 a. m., and you promised there would never be an exception. Why are you acting like a wronged little wife?

The aloof image he had just created for Su Xingzhi instantly collapsed.

Qing Chen sighed, "I don't know the details of your affair with Li Dongze, so I can't make a decision about it right now. I suggest you talk to my master directly..."

"We can't talk to the boss about this," Su Xingzhi sighed. "Neither of us can get in touch with him now. After all, cross-city communication relies on satellites, and we knights don't have access to satellites... If satellites are controlled by others, whatever we say will be monitored and listened to."

Qing Chen thought to himself, "If a non-governmental organization can control a satellite in this era, wouldn't it be jumping into the sky?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you wait until I understand what happened before we talk...? I have something else to discuss with you tonight."

"Ah," Su Xingzhi dropped his complaining expression, "Young boss, you have something to ask me? I thought you were here to help me get justice... So, what is it?"

"Here's the thing, I'm looking for someone named Zhang Chengze who's being hunted by Heng Society," Qing Chen said. "Based on my deduction, he's probably been hidden by someone in your black market gang, so I'd like your help in finding him. Of course, if this information requires a fee, I can pay you."

Su Xingzhi grabbed Qing Chen's arm and pulled him inside. "Little boss, talking about compensation is too formal. With just a word from you, even this Xingge Building is yours, and I, Su Xingzhi, am yours too!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Chen subtly withdrew his arm again. He always felt that this guy wasn't exactly serious...

Just then, Su Xingzhi said, "Hmm, the name Zhang Chengze sounds vaguely familiar. Boss, wait a moment while I check..."

As he spoke, he took out a small Black Box from the drawer, pressed it gently, and the Black Box projected a holographic screen directly onto the table.

And a keyboard is mapped onto the other side of the screen.

Su Xingzhi quickly typed in "Zhang Chengze," then paused, stunned. "Young boss, what do you want with him? If nothing unexpected happens... I'm the one who hid him. Of course, I didn't know you were looking for him. I just saw him being hunted down by Heng Society and didn't want that old bastard Li Dongze to get away with it too easily. I didn't just hide Zhang Chengze; I hid a lot of other people too."

After a moment of silence Qing Chen asked, "Do you have a grudge against Li Dongze?"

"Of course!" Su Xingzhi said, "He broke into my Xingge Building without permission and stole my gene serum inventory. This is utterly humiliating and incredibly disrespectful!"

"Hmm... but I'm curious, why would he steal you?" Qing Chen asked.

"Because he's arrogant and unreasonable!" Su Xingzhi said.

Qing Chen felt that this matter was not so simple, and he needed to hear what Li Dongze had to say... It was possible that Su Xingzhi had made the first move.

However, this trip to Xingge Building was definitely worthwhile. Qing Chen asked, "Where is Zhang Chengze now? Is he safe?"

"Ah," Su Xingzhi replied, "I sold him to 'The Man Butcher' Chang Ping around 10 PM last night. If he's unlucky, he should already be repackaged and taken away. If he's lucky, he's still waiting for a buyer... Little boss, should I stop this for you?"

Qing Chen asked, "Will that damn Chang Ping listen to you?"

"Listen, of course I'll listen," Su Xingzhi said. "Otherwise I'll twist his head off! That old bastard is particularly cunning; he knows he can't afford to offend me. Besides, Zhang Chengze is just a commodity to him; he has no reason to offend me for a commodity."

Qing Chen discovered that Su Xingzhi not only had an eccentric personality, but was also a chatterbox.

To be honest, he was somewhat looking forward to seeing what it would be like if Ye Wan, Li Dongze, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Su Xingzhi all got together.

After thinking for a few seconds, Qing Chen said, "Could you please call Chang Ping now? But don't release Zhang Chengze yet. I hope we can put on a show."
