Chapter 69: Alliance Hierarch 066 Xinshu – Part Two (Thank you, Qingning)_2
“That’s good. Let’s begin with the contract signing then. You’ve also visited the botanical garden, and all sorts of docunts are prepared here. Just sign them one by one, and the entire process will be complete,” Xu Zhongsheng clapped his hands together.
Suddenly, between the two of them, a semi-transparent screen materialized out of thin air.
The screen was square-shaped, and stacked on it were transfer agreents and other such contractual docunts.
Li Chengyi picked up these virtual docunts and started to carefully flip through them.
Soon, he confird that there were no issues and signed his na on each one of them. Then he transferred the paynt.
In less than ten minutes, the money was in the account, the docunts were confird, both parties agreed that all other personnel would remain unchanged, maintain the status quo, and any changes to the plantings in the botanical garden would be decided by Li Chengyi thereafter.
After concluding the contract, Xu Zhongsheng had soone bring up a set of purple clay tea ware, and he and Li Chengyi sat opposite each other, leisurely brewing tea.
“Speaking of which, when Mr. Xindela first arrived in Suiyang, I also wanted to visit him, but I never found the ti or opportunity. It seems it hasn’t been long, and Brother Li, you just happened to have visited him. Fate is really sothing,” Xu Zhongsheng said with a smile.
“Does President Xu also know the boss?” Li Chengyi asked, his heart still aching from the five million he’d just received, of which more than four hundred thousand had gone in an instant.
“Of course, I know him. More than ten years ago, my father and Mr. Xindela had a very pleasant conversation at a wine party, a pity that it has been so long since then,” Xu Zhongsheng said with a smile.
He picked up a cup of tea and took a gentle sip.
“I wonder if Hongjin acquired the botanical garden for so kind of strategic layout? In Suiyang, if there’s anything that my Xu family can help with, just say the word.”
“President Xu, to correct you, it’s not Hongjin that acquired the botanical garden, but personally. This has nothing to do with the boss,” Li Chengyi seed to understand the misunderstanding and corrected him.
“Is that so? Then I misunderstood. If Brother Li is doing this on his own, maybe he’s thinking of doing business too simply,” the smile faded slightly from Xu Zhongsheng’s face.
“Is that so? Anyway, I still want to give it a try,” Li Chengyi said unfazed.
“Right, Mr. Xindela usually doesn’t stay long in one place. Brother Li, you must be wanting to secure a little foundation for yourself in advance, right? It’s a common human sentint, I can understand,” Xu Zhongsheng said with a smile.
“It’s good that President Xu understands,” Li Chengyi replied.
Feeling the change in the other party’s attitude from before, Li Chengyi didn’t stay long and soon stood up to take his leave and exited.
Watching as Li Chengyi left the building under the guidance of a server.
The smile on Xu Zhongsheng’s face completely disappeared.
“Not Xindela? Then it’s this young man trying to amass so property with his bonus,” he said coldly.
“Xindela has already left the mainstream circles, spending his days chasing Blind Spots and searching for the whereabouts of his precious son. This Li Chengyi, previously just an ordinary student, suddenly ca into so much money; he’s probably a Blind Spot participant,” a micro earpiece whispered secretly in his ear.
“As long as he’s not with those people, it’s good. Truth be told, the past few cases have made everyone cautious and fearful, anxious about the Alliance Hierarch causing trouble,” Xu Zhongsheng sighed, “Xindela and a person from the Alliance Hierarch are pretty close. These days, who doesn’t have so old skeletons in their closet? If we were to really delve into them, no one could escape scrutiny.”
“So Li Chengyi truly isn’t representing Xindela, how should we proceed then?” the voice from the earpiece inquired.
“If he’s eligible for a bonus, then he’s definitely a Blind Spot Individual, and it won’t be long before he’s gone. Why bother with him? Just ignore it. After he’s dead, we can buy back the botanical garden,” Xu Zhongsheng replied.
“Let this matter rest for now. Another thing, last night, Kong Sichen from the security departnt of Tie Feng Group went to the bar street,” the voice in the earpiece continued.
“Kong Sichen? Isn’t he supposed to be watching over the internal affairs of the group? With the Alliance Hierarch conducting strict investigations right now, what’s he doing on bar street?” Xu Zhongsheng asked in surprise.
“It’s Zheng Jiayu, the heir of Tie Feng Group, who’s caused so trouble. The specifics are unclear, Kong Sichen dealt with it too quickly for us to obtain any footage, but it’s certain that soone died,” the voice from the earpiece responded.
“Zheng Jiayu always ssing with young girls, finally landed himself in trouble?” Xu Zhongsheng laughed carelessly, “I always felt he was heading for trouble, didn’t expect it’s been put off until now, must say his luck lasted quite long.”
“Yes, since it’s a critical ti, our people found out. Not only did Kong Sichen lock down the bar street’s surveillance, he also sent people to Sicheng Mountain Road. Just after his people got there, a building on Sicheng Mountain Road caught fire, reportedly due to aged wiring and a natural gas leak.
Five households were affected, six people burned to death, including the deceased’s parents.”
“It’s Old Kong’s style. As long as there’s no evidence, even if you know he did it, you can’t touch him,” Xu Zhongsheng said frowning.
“Just now, Kong Sichen sent people to arrest soone, a woman, who is probably the victim’s sister.”
“They are wiping out the entire family…” Xu Zhongsheng said gravely.
“Tie Feng Group has always been ruthless. It seems this ti they plan to settle the dust swiftly before the Alliance notices and clean up all the evidence,” said the voice in the earpiece. “Should we intervene?”
“No need, don’t act rashly, let’s wait for the Alliance,” Xu Zhongsheng replied somberly.

Li Chengyi didn’t leave the flower shop imdiately but took a stroll around the garden and then had the attendant take him to the area with the Gladiolus variants.
Luckily, in a small yard, he saw a batch that had just arrived and had not yet been transplanted.
“The newly arrived ones here are Multi Gladiolus. We’ve just sent a batch of the sullen varieties away. If Mr. Li had been a bit later, this batch would also be gone soon,” the attendant comnted with an expression that suggested Li was in luck.
“Do they sell well, these Gladiolus?” Li Chengyi asked, looking at the white and red Gladiolus piled up like weeds in the yard, puzzled.
“Because they are the cut flower material needed by many major households, schools, and clubs, they sell quite well,” the attendant nodded.
“Cut flowers… Well, that explains it,” Li Chengyi nodded.
Cut flowers refer to the practice of cutting flower stems for use in flower arrangents, baskets, or pots, etc.
Li Chengyi hadn’t expected that Gladiolus was also a commonly used flower in arrangents.
“May I examine them?” Li Chengyi asked.
“No problem, but please be careful not to knock off the buds,” said the attendant, willing to accommodate since he knew the custor was an important client of the boss.
Deciding, Li Chengyi rubbed his hands together and stepped forward.
He reached out and began to feel from the outside in, slowly.
The outer layer was several Primrose Gladiolus flowers, all deep purple and quite eye-catching among the white and red, probably complintary extras that ca with the delivery,
The mont Li Chengyi touched them, he imdiately felt a cool essence of flowers absorbed swiftly into the back of his hand and channeled into the Evil Flower.
The evolutionary degree of the Gladiolus Floral Dress also slowly increased from 91 to 92.
Without pausing, he quickly touched each blooming Gladiolus, leaving none overlooked.
Soon, after a few minutes, Li Chengyi’s body jerked, he stood up straight, and exhaled deeply.
The evolution degree was finally complete…
The Gladiolus Floral Dress had finally reached 100% evolutionary degree.
‘Done, next is to absorb Evil Thoughts and the evolutionary degree of the Wisteria Floral Dress.’
‘Evil Thoughts… where can they co from?’ Li Chengyi pondered.
The botanical garden could provide him with a stable source of essence of flowers, but what about Evil Thoughts?
Could he also create sothing akin to a botanical garden, a garden of Evil Thoughts to provide himself a stable source of Evil Thoughts?
