Buzz!!
Just at that mont, several more flying devices landed.
Black Crystal Group, Jade Biotechnology, Sky Shield Heavy Industry...
They are renowned large corporations in Feng Province, and even throughout Chi Country.
Lin Hao squinted slightly at the sight, not because of Black Crystal Group, but because he clearly saw a familiar youth erging from the flying device of Jade Biotechnology.
Click!
The cabin door opened, revealing a figure in a black and purple suit and coat.
A mature hairstyle parted three-to-seven, with a young appearance of about twenty-four or twenty-five, sowhat handso.
As their eyes t, it was evident that the other party proactively approached with security personnel behind, carrying a subtle smirk.
"Cousin."
"Xu Heng."
Lin Hao’s expression turned slightly cold.
He hadn’t expected that the council mber he couldn’t gather information on turned out to be him.
"Heh, it seems my cousin is still dissatisfied with what happened before."
With a bland smile, Xu Heng glanced at Yuan Yueshan and Zhou Cheng behind him.
"Not bad, it seems you’ve done quite well since you left Yun Gang, looking sowhat decent now."
"Thinking about it, Uncle should also be at peace."
With those words, the atmosphere turned heavy.
The people from Black Crystal Group shook their heads in secret, Sky Shield Heavy Industry raised an eyebrow slightly, while other council mbers found it peculiar.
The chill in Lin Hao’s eyes grew stronger, while Yuan Yueshan seriously eyed the chanical martial personnel behind Xu Heng.
Until finally, a black car slowly drove up and stopped at the roadside of the building.
Xu Heng unobtrusively swept a glance, then imdiately turned and led his group into the building.
"Boss."
Zhou Cheng stepped forward worriedly, Lin Hao shook his head.
The chill in his eyes gradually subsided; he knew it wasn’t the ti to completely turn against them yet.
Tap tap.
Just then, the young man in a black windbreaker approached leisurely.
Standing side-by-side, he gazed at the back of Xu Heng from Jade Biotechnology.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Chen Feng asked, having already learned about Lin Hao’s background and grievances through his connection with ng Anran.
His father was originally a chairman of Jade Biotechnology, who died unexpectedly while at the Ancient Civilization Relics.
The things that rightfully belonged to him were seized by Xu Heng’s family, forcing him to leave Yun Gang.
"I will demand an explanation."
Lin Hao seriously spoke, his tone deeper than usual.
Without further questioning, Chen Feng nodded.
Then they walked side by side into the Union Building.
"People from Sky Shipping left the city yesterday and shortly after crashed in the suburbs..."
"Are you aware of this?"
On the way, Lin Hao inquired softly, clearly having caught wind of so rumors.
Chen Feng nodded without speaking, the other understood his intent.
"It’s always you."
Lin Hao said, feeling sowhat envious.
He himself possessed Fifth Rank strength, and even had friends like the Fifth-Order Transford Human, White Giant.
If only he had that kind of confidence, Xu Heng’s family would never have dared to treat him like that.
"I heard Zhong Yan was held accountable by the Sky Shipping board; she is a junior board mber, her position isn’t very stable."
"Moreover, it seems that Mr. Zhong has also been scolding her recently, showing dissatisfaction."
Lin Hao shared the information he knew, Chen Feng pondered.
Within these large corporations, board mbers are ranked; the higher the position, the greater the authority, and correspondingly stronger security power.
However, for him, it made little difference; they said no more on the matter as they exited the elevator together and arrived at the rooftop eting room.
Security personnel stood in the corridor, with bulging waists, and carrying handguns, under the incandescent lights lit even during the day.
The red-brown wooden door was already open, revealing a spacious conference room, with two rows of circular tables and seats surrounding an elliptical wooden table behind.
Naplates were placed on the table, most seats corresponding to the nas were already occupied.
Security Bureau Chief Zhang Songta, forr club mbers’ elders Luo Yue and Li Chengdong, mostly from political and military circles.
Additionally, there were local rchant representatives from large corporations in Nanjiang, and also individual mbers from civil organizations.
Mostly elders, so middle-aged, and few young ones.
As such, when Chen Feng and his companions entered the eting room, many people’s gazes naturally turned towards them.
The originally bustling murmur quieted briefly, but it was Zhang Songta who finally broke the silence with a laugh, "Councilman Chen, over here."
He proactively showed goodwill, indicating the empty seats in the front row beside him.
Chen Feng nodded and walked over with Lin Hao, taking their seats together.
During this, he could feel probing gazes upon him.
Glancing over, he saw Xu Heng from Jade Biotechnology sitting directly across from him, his expression calm as he toyed with the naplate on the table.
He paid no attention, as he sensed other people’s subtly watching eyes.
"Heh, Councilman Chen, Zhao Jianlong once sat here too."
An old man in a military uniform nearby took the initiative to explain.
Chen Feng instantly understood, perhaps in so people’s eyes, it was he who had taken Zhao Jianlong’s place.
"Thank you for the reminder, Councilman Li."
He nodded in acknowledgnt, noticing the slight resemblance in appearance to Li Chengdong and saw the na "Li Pinghai" on the naplate on the table.
"No problem, I just often hear Cheng Dong ntion you."
"Seeing is believing, you truly deserve the title of Martial Arts Grandmaster..."
The other praised him with a smile, and Chen Feng exchanged so simple pleasantries.
anwhile, he keenly observed the other council mbers, seeing that those who harbored malice towards him were in the minority, whereas most nodded amicably when their gazes t.
"Councilman Chen, sothing happened to Sky Shipping’s people in the suburbs yesterday."
"Before leaving the city, they ca to Yanwu Gym, I’m not sure about this matter..."
Before he realized it, Zhang Songta had again moved closer to ask quietly, with many council mbers around also listening intently.
"Indeed, the people from Sky Shipping visited yesterday."
"But unfortunately, I was in seclusion at the ti and didn’t et them, and I’m unaware of what happened afterward."
Chen Feng stated with an unchanged expression.
There’s no Heavenly Eye in the suburbs, and with his current strength, as long as he didn’t admit it, there would be no evidence.
Coupled with his status as a council mber, so matters beca more nuanced.
"I said so, this matter has nothing to do with Councilman Chen indeed."
"Soone even wanted our Security Bureau to investigate, but I think there’s really no need."
Zhang Songta laughed, knowing he was deliberately trying to curry favor.
With a nod of agreent, both tacitly ended the topic.
Opposite, Xu Heng took all this in, sneering internally, feeling the other was quite an actor.
The group engaged in further small talk until finally footsteps were heard from outside the large door.
Chu Shihong, with gray hair and wearing a dark suit, finally appeared and settled into the main seat at the head of the table.
"Everyone, long ti no see."
Chu Shihong glanced around and started speaking, with voices of agreent gradually rising.
"Today is our first council eting of the new year in Nanjiang City."
"First, let us welco the five new council mbers."
"They are Chairman Wang from Sky Shield Heavy Industry, Manager Zhao from Black Crystal Group, Master Chen from Fla Tiger Sect..."
He introduced them one by one, initiating applause, and Chen Feng and Lin Hao among others stood and smiled in response.
From this mont, they beca one of the council mbers of the Nanjiang City Union.
Once the applause ceased, the eting officially began.
Before long, prepared council mbers started making proposals.
"This investnt policy is not very favorable to local groups, we hope to relax so standards..."
"Last year our unemploynt rate rose by 1.5 percentage points compared to the year before, we should make adjustnts this year focusing on the economy..."
"There are many complaints from citizens about the Giant Model gene potion on the market, noting strong side effects more severe than advertised, I feel we should investigate the pharmaceutical company behind it..."
Voices rose one after another, discussing issues from investnt policy to local economic concerns, and even so market complaint feedback.
Previously, Chen Feng thought the City Association might not be very effective, but now he realized he had underestimated its significance.
While so in this group were driven by self-interest, there were still those willing to take substantive action.
"Alright, let’s vote, everyone."
Chu Shihong nodded and initiated the voting.
Chen Feng and the others had differing views, so in favor and others against, with even so disputes breaking out over issues.
Yet all of this progressed in an orderly manner under Chu Shihong’s guidance, with the morning passing by quickly.
Finally, nearing noon and as the eting was about to conclude.
Chu Shihong spoke with a serious expression, signaling his secretary to switch the virtual light screen on the table.
"Two matters, first."
"Regarding the Black Tide....."
