Chapter 405
The incident happened
After the various gangs settled with the alliance, they began to leave separately. Jin Ziming followed the Gama Society to Lajia City and visited the branch again before being teleported to Yoda City.
After returning home and enjoying the sunset on the sea with Ye Xianzi, he touched his beloved wife's belly and asked curiously: "Yanyi, why is there no reaction?"
"It's still very early. According to my calculations, this pregnancy will take nearly twenty years. Now she is just a little seed. Of course you can't feel it, but I can clearly sense her."
"Are you sure it's your daughter now?"
"Yes."
"That's great."
"How was it when you went out this time?"
Jin Ziming briefly told his wife the experience. When he talked about the dangers of the third level and the battle with Xie Chen, Ye Xianzi was extremely frightened.
"Zi Ming, now that you have a child, don't go through life and death like before." Fairy Ye warned.
"Yanyi, I understand, but monks can only compete with others for opportunities to be promoted. This is the way of heaven and destiny."
"Well, in this case, you still need to go to Hanqing Realm."
"Yes, firstly, it's to fulfill the contract, and secondly, I can go and see if I can get that top-quality water-attribute treasure." He didn't dare to mention that he stopped by to visit Susan's house.
"Ranyi, there's one thing I hope you can agree with. With the Sky Covering Stone, I want to go to the Magic Light Realm and visit Lin Xi, Xinchen and Youji. I haven't seen them for so many years, and I'm worried about them."
"Oh, go ahead." Ye Xianzi said calmly. Thinking about the suffering of the witch over the years, it was quite pitiful, so she did not stop her.
The next day, when Jin Ziming returned to his office, Shenghui came to see him and complained as soon as they met:
"First Elder, you have to tell the boss of the Internal Affairs Hall that the business volume in the distribution market is huge now, and Zhong Qingyang can't handle it at all, but the headquarters called him by name and insisted that he go back for training."
"Is this still happening? The Aito Chamber of Commerce has a lot of orders now, so we can't interrupt our business just because of training."
"Yeah, Zhong Qingyang doesn't want to go back now either."
"Immediately send my opinions to the head of the Internal Affairs Hall of the headquarters."
Two days later, he received a reply: "Zhong Qingyang must come back. If necessary, you must also return to the sect and participate in training."
Jin Ziming was immediately stunned, "What the hell is this reply? It's so meaningful, and you're planning on letting me go back too?" In desperation, he could only rearrange the arrangement:
"Shenghui, the headquarters has rejected my request. You notify Zhong Qingyang and ask him to leave for Hongqing Realm within five days. Liu Yi, you will transfer one or two people to temporarily take over the Aito Chamber of Commerce project."
The two agreed and began to work separately.
Three days later, Zhong Qingyang set off. Half a month later, the two men came to see the man again, handed him a letter, and Shenghui said anxiously:
"Great Elder, this is from the Internal Affairs Department of the headquarters, asking why Zhong Qingyang didn't go back for training as scheduled?"
When Jin Ziming saw it, he was dumbfounded and said in bewilderment: "He should have arrived at the sect long ago. Where is he going to transit?"
"Eternal Power Realm."
"It's impossible to stay there for so long without being sent back to the Hongqing Realm." The mangy man suddenly had an ominous premonition, remembering Li Ao's two reminders of Zhong Qingyang's character, and the pun-intended reply from the head of the Internal Affairs Hall.
"Shenghui, please immediately ask the Shengxing City branch to verify whether Zhong Qingyang took that teleportation flight to Yongli Realm."
The news quickly came back that this person was not on the actual departure list. Liu Yi and Shenghui suddenly woke up and couldn't help but turned pale, "Something big might happen!"
"Zhong Qingyang is only Nascent Soul and cannot enter the starry sky. He is either still in the Shunxian Realm or has gone to other realms.
Shenghui asked people to go to the cross-border teleportation arrays of the five super sects to find out all the people who left the Shunxian world after Zhong Qingyang disappeared.
We must not only look up the name, but also check the appearance and aura to prevent him from using other names and leaving in disguise. In addition, Zhenjun Yan Bing is asked to search his residence and not let go of any clues."
A few days later, the information was summarized and Jin Ziming summoned Zhenjun Qiubei, Liu Yi and others to discuss countermeasures.
"Great Elder, everything left in Zhong Qingyang's room is of low value, and no useful information can be found."
"No trace of him was found in the five cross-border teleportation arrays."
"I have confirmed with the soul hall of the headquarters. The soul lamp has not been extinguished, which means that it is not a victim, but rather a conscious escape in fear of crime."
"Zhong Qingyang's only client is the Aito Chamber of Commerce. If he enriches himself in business, he can only pass that big project.
Do you think Aito will collude with him to deceive us?" Jin Ziming asked.
"I think it's unlikely. First of all, Aito's goodwill has always been very good in the leisure industry.
Secondly, if we collude, we will most likely suffer losses or owe money, but we are currently making a profit, and the other party has not defaulted on payment.
I really can't think of any reason for Aito to cooperate with Zhong Qingyang to deceive us, what benefits can they get?" Liu Yi analyzed.
"If you can't be sure that the Aito Chamber of Commerce is working with him, you can't go to the customer to verify the matter, so as not to affect the subsequent delivery of the framework contract." The mangy man said in a deep voice.
"Great Elder, I think the headquarters must have found something, or at least noticed something strange, so it forced Zhong Qingyang to go back and confront him face to face.
How about we contact the headquarters directly? Maybe we can confirm what he has committed and scare him into absconding." Shenghui suggested.
"At the moment, this is all we can do. Report Zhong Qingyang's situation to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and see what they say."
"Okay, Great Elder."
"Great Protector, I have a hunch that Zhong Qingyang is no longer in the Shunxian world. He may have used other names, disguised himself, and changed his breath before teleporting away. Is there any way to find him through disguise?"
"It depends on what level of skill or auxiliary magic weapon he used. If it is too advanced, I can't tell. Moreover, you must get the image of the cross-border teleportation array." Qiu Bei replied.
"Zhong Qingyang is not well-off. I don't think he can get particularly high-level skills or magical weapons." Liu Yi said.
"Each super sect has a record stone in the cross-border teleportation array, but it is difficult to obtain it, so we can only try."
"Let's analyze it and narrow down the search scope first."
"Zhong Qingyang is cautious by nature. If he wants to escape to other realms after leaving the branch, he will definitely not dare to stay in the Shunxian realm for too long.
I think he will definitely leave in the cross-border teleportation array within three days, definitely not more than five days. We only need to ask for images from these few days."
"What Liu Yi said makes sense. Let's continue our reasoning. Assuming you were Zhong Qingyang, would you pretend to be an elder or disciple of a super sect?" asked the reckless man.
"No, that would be very easy to find out. Not to mention a super sect, even a first-level sect is unlikely. Just compare the images and you can find the imposter.
As for applications from second-level sects to leave the border, super-large sects generally do not accept them, and the possibility of approval is very low."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Qiu Bei said: "Most of them are disguised as casual cultivators. The Cultivation Alliance has promised to grant them a fixed number of out-of-bounds quotas every year."
"If we only check the casual cultivators, the super sect may cooperate."
"Zhong Qingyang is a righteous Nascent Soul, and if he is asked to set off from the Demonic Eagle Sect alone, I don't think he has the guts."
"What if he specifically targets this kind of mentality and chooses to go from here? It's better to be safer and not let it go.
I am now drafting a formal request for help, in the name of tracking down the traitors, and requesting the assistance of the five major sects to provide the images of rogue cultivators that were transmitted across borders within five days after Zhong Qingyang disappeared.
Shenghui, please notify the heads of each branch and ask them to take care of this matter. In addition, when reporting to the headquarters, please also report back these investigation actions, so as not to say that we are not doing anything."
"OK."
Four days later, Jin Ziming, who had arrived at the Shengxing City branch, received a letter from the head of the Internal Affairs Hall, to the effect that:
"Elder Jin, received a complaint from Yonglijie in the early stage, and found a fraudulent mining machine in his jurisdiction. They sent the codes of some equipment back to the headquarters and found out that they were contracted shipments from Shunxianjie Aito.
We were worried that this chamber of commerce was selling goods privately, so we asked Zhong Qingyang to return to the sect to assist in the investigation in the name of 'training'.
He kept refusing to return, and the headquarters began to suspect him of malpractice. Please forgive me. At that time, even you were on the radar, worried that this was a set-up case.
However, after communicating with Master Chu, I learned that you had donated a top-quality spiritual crystal to the sect, and its value exceeded these goods, so I dispelled my doubts about you.
To thoroughly investigate this matter, we need your strong cooperation. We must first confirm whether the contract obtained by the Aito Chamber of Commerce is consistent with the contract reviewed by the headquarters."
After reading the letter, three words immediately came to mind: "fake contract."
He couldn't help but feel a trace of regret, "Li Ao reminded me twice and questioned Zhong Qingyang's character and business. At that time, I decided that Li Ao had settled and was difficult to save, so I didn't take the advice seriously at all.
I thought there were two review stages, Shunxianjie and headquarters, and there were so many professionals that there would be no problem, but who knew that Li Ao had guessed it."
He said to Liu Yi who was accompanying him: "You can find a reason to check the contract retained by the Aito Chamber of Commerce. Is it consistent with ours? Be careful not to scare the other party. After all, we have to continue to cooperate."
"Great Elder, this is very simple. I asked the after-sales service person to go to the Chamber of Commerce and tell me that I forgot to read the terms before departure. I need to borrow their contract to check the warranty period of the equipment and the charging standards after the warranty is released."
"Well, that's a good statement."
That night, Jin Ziming and several key people gathered together and took turns to watch the two contracts. He said with a blue face: "It can now be confirmed that Zhong Qingyang has tampered with the contract."
"He controlled this project single-handedly. He made a yin-yang contract and deceived both the Lingyun Sect and the Aito Chamber of Commerce."
"With this comparison, we can basically guess how this guy makes money."
"The unit price of the equipment in the headquarters contract is lower, and the mining machines sent out will exceed the quantity received by Aito. This bastard is targeting the extra part."
"No wonder he encouraged Boss Aito to receive the goods in Yonglijie in the name of saving taxes. My people asked around and found out that the small chamber of commerce designated in the contract to receive the goods is not owned by Aito."
