"This trip to Baihai City is crucial. I'll arrange for someone to handle things with the Lin Clan; you just need to focus on signing the contract."
Zheng Hai, sitting on the sofa, took a puff of his cigar and said to Zheng Tianyang expressionlessly.
"Aren't these methods a bit excessive? Once..." Zheng Tianyang frowned.
Times have changed. This Ancient Country is not the Ancient Country as it was decades ago. It has almost zero tolerance for such matters, dealing with each case as it is discovered, without any leniency.
"The business world is like a battlefield. You're too timid. Do you know what the consequences will be if the Lin Clan wins this contract?"
Although Zheng Hai was old, his aura of authority still made Zheng Tianyang feel suffocated.
"The business world is a battlefield where you can't see the bloodshed, especially at this level of competition. It's a fight to the death; one wrong move and you're Abyss an abyss."
"Perhaps you think that losing this contract won't have any impact on the Zheng Family, but do you know that taking this step back could be utterly disastrous?"
Zheng Tianyang seemed to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He wanted to say that the Zheng Family was actually heading step by step into the Abyss, and compared to the success or failure of this contract, Zheng Hai's actions were undoubtedly playing with fire.
But Zheng Tianyang knew very well that his father was an extremely stubborn man who, after all these years, still adhered to the same set of principles.
It is precisely because of Zheng Hai's existence that, although the Zheng Group remains a massive and unshakeable financial conglomerate over the years, it has become riddled with internal problems.
"Get to work!" Zheng Hai said, then turned and left Zheng Tianyang's office.
Zheng Tianyang frowned as he watched Zheng Hai leave.
Unbeknownst to him, Ling Yi was standing "beside" Zheng Tianyang at that moment, watching Zheng Hai leave with a look of curiosity in his eyes.
"It seems the Zheng Group isn't entirely clean."
" Xiaoran, investigate this Zheng Hai," Ling Yi said.
"Okay, boss."
The following scenes seemed unremarkable, so Ling Yi fast-forwarded through them.
Zheng Tianyang didn't leave the office until noon, and drove home. During this time, Zheng Tianyang still didn't contact anyone or make a single phone call.
What surprised Ling Yi was that Zheng Tianyang lived alone in his house. Although the house was large, it was clean and tidy, with all the items arranged neatly and meticulously.
From these observations, it's clear that this is someone who lives entirely within the bounds of rules.
During lunch break, Ling Yi fast forward!
In the afternoon, Zheng Tianyang began organizing the documents. Ling Yi took a look and saw that they were all contracts, more than a dozen in total, all related to the Baihai City New East City Development Zone project.
A massive project involving billions of dollars.
Until around 8 p. m., I still couldn't see anything special.
In fact, Zheng Tianyang hadn't even met anyone in person, and he only made a few phone calls to arrange company work.
Just as Ling Yi was about to fast forward again, a semi-transparent figure suddenly appeared in the room.
The semi-transparent figure appeared very abruptly, and what was most terrifying was that it appeared less than half a meter away from Ling Yi.
Ling Yi instantly felt a chill run down his spine, and couldn't help but take two steps back, letting out a shout!
He then realized that he was watching a projection, a video, and that he wasn't actually there.
Ling Yi felt somewhat embarrassed.
The main problem is that it's the first time I've encountered something like this, and it's really shocking.
"What is this thing? Is there really something supernatural in this world?" Ling Yi felt extremely uneasy.
The Intelligent Xiao Ran, which was authorized to watch in real time, suddenly spoke up, "Boss, this person's equipment is also from the C2 series."
"You mean, this is technological equipment?"
"Yes, but it's not part of the series!"
What does "not on the payroll" mean?
"It's illegal equipment developed privately by civilian researchers using counterfeit official C2 technology."
"Moreover, this equipment is a copy of official military technology."
"This is the C2922XL model Combat armor. I just don't know to what extent this copied model is copied."
"If it's a 100% accurate recreation, then this Combat armor is invincible in this era."
"In the observation footage from Heavenly Sight, the other party appears semi-transparent, but in reality, the other party is currently in a state of complete Invisibility."
At this moment, the figure had already arrived in front of Zheng Tianming.
As expected, Zheng Tianming did not notice the semi-transparent entity.
At this moment, the mysterious person stretched out his hand and touched Zheng Tianming Zheng Tianming's forehead directly, just a few centimeters away.
Visibly, a wisp of black mist emanated from the mysterious man's hand and silently landed on Zheng Tianming's forehead.
"What is this thing again?"
"This is a nanoweapon! I never expected they could actually copy a nanoweapon!"
"Is it that impressive?"
"Of course it's powerful. This thing is practically unsolvable for modern humans. It can silently infiltrate the brain."
"Whether it's a covert assassination or direct control, there's no way to resist."
"Boss, it seems Zheng Tianming's sudden strange behavior was related to this. The other party must have been directly controlling Zheng Tianming's actions at the time."
Ling Yi nodded, then shook his head and said, "I'm not concerned about that right now. What I'm concerned about is where this mysterious guy got this C2 equipment from."
"It's the C2922XL Combat armor, which must come from Parallel World, or more precisely, from the same world as me."
Ling Yi nodded. "So, either the other party is a transmigrator, a transmigrator from your World Traversal, or their outer armor comes from Parallel World."
"It's unlikely that the other person is a time traveler. Perhaps they, like you, have obtained a cheat system."
"Whether it's true or not, you'll see when you look."
With a thought, Ling Yi switched his observation perspective and locked onto the mysterious person as his target.
Switching targets doesn't necessarily require knowing the other person's name; as long as they are within your line of sight, you can lock onto them.
However, this direct switching will waste one use of the Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Ear.
However, that doesn't matter. Compared to Zheng Tianming, this mysterious person who suddenly appeared has obviously aroused Ling Yi's greater interest.
The scene abruptly shifts, using the exact time of Zheng Tianming's observation as the starting point.
That is, at 8 pm on May 22, it jumped to 8 pm on May 21.
The screen flickered for a moment, and Ling Yi felt himself in an antique study.
A handsome but thin man with a gloomy expression stood at the study window, looking up at the night sky outside.
"This is Lin Tian, the third young master of the Lin Group in Baihai City," the Intelligent Xiao Ran voice suddenly rang out.
" Lin Tian, 24 years old this year, is the illegitimate son of Lin Pengyu, CEO of the Lin Group. He was found by Lin Pengyu two years ago and brought back to the Lin Clan."
Ling Yi's expression was strange. Why did this setup feel so familiar?
"According to the information I just gathered, Lin Tian is the son of Lin Pengyu and his first girlfriend, Zhang Peipei, twenty years ago. At that time, Lin Pengyu was just an ordinary person."
Due to an accident, Lin Tian was abducted by human traffickers and has been missing ever since.
" Zhang Peipei suffered a mental breakdown as a result, becoming erratic and eventually dying in a car accident."
"After being abducted by human traffickers, Lin Tian went through several transfers before finally arriving abroad and becoming a Hire. Now, Lin Tian is the leader of the internationally renowned Death God Mercenary Corps."
"Information on how he did it is scarce, but based on the information I've gathered so far, Lin Tian is extremely Combat, has taken over a thousand lives, and is nicknamed the Death God."
Ling Yi's expression grew increasingly strange; wasn't this exactly the kind of urban, crooked-mouthed Dragon King vibe he was looking for?
"So, this Lin Tian must have obtained a cheat system a long time ago!" Ling Yi murmured!
That's right!
"Moreover, it wasn't Lin Pengyu who found Lin Tian, but rather Lin Tian who deliberately and secretly revealed to Lin Pengyu that he was still alive through some channels."
" Lin Tian's return likely has some purpose."
What could their purpose be? It's either to repay a debt of gratitude or to seek revenge.
Looking out the window, Lin Tian whispered, "Taking over the Lin Group and the Zheng Group should be enough."
As he finished speaking, Lin Tian made a sweeping motion in the air, and a semi-transparent blue screen appeared in front of him.
Ling Yi's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but take a few steps closer.
But this isn't a system interface; it's a video call interface.
The interface displayed a "Connecting..." message, and after a few seconds, the screen started displaying a video.
The image shows a mysterious figure completely shrouded in Black Robe Black Robe, on which is a very prominent white "C" symbol.
"My friend, I'm glad you're still alive!" the Black Robe laughed.
"I need a C2922XL model outer armor set," Lin Tian said bluntly.
"You should know that it's very expensive, extremely expensive!"
Name your price!
The Black Robe held up Five Fingers and said, "Five tons!"
"I only have two tons, which is all my savings from all these years. It seems our deal is off."
Lin Tian shook his head, making a gesture as if to end the call.
"My friend, don't be in such a hurry. Two tons isn't impossible, but the functionality wouldn't be complete."
"How so?" Lin Tianwen.
"The intelligent program is only C1 level, equipped with two energy batteries, without weapon systems or auxiliary Combat modules, but the C2 exoskeleton retains all other functions."
"You should know that even without these, the C2 outer armor is still enough to ensure invincibility in your timeline," the Black Robe laughed.
"With this set of outer armor, getting your hands on Huangjin will be a piece of cake for you, won't it?"
"Deal!" Lin Tian nodded after a moment's thought.
After ending the call, Lin Heaven Reincarnation and left the study. Half an hour later, he drove a pickup truck to a deserted area on the outskirts of Baihai City.
A few minutes later, a blue tunnel appeared in front of Lin Tian, and two futuristic-looking robots walked out from it.
"This is the C2 series War Machine!" Intelligent Xiao Ran's voice suddenly rang out.
Ling Yi, meanwhile, was thinking, "Damn, if I report this guy directly, I wonder what kind of reward the system will give me."
Our cheat system is Report to Become Stronger System. It doesn't matter who you are, whether you're the Protagonist or not, or what cheat system you have. Just report us first!
However, since this situation isn't suitable for public reporting, it's best to report it directly to the authorities!
