N-M Chapter 399 Then you should help him, Zhang Yi.
Chapter 399 Then you should help him, Zhang Yi.
Li Ze sat on the sofa in Beichen Garden.
It's already early April.
The weather in Seoul has been getting warmer these past few days.
Li Ze stayed home every day to help Zhang Ruoran prepare for the wedding.
Zhang Ruoran was very happy. She looked at the wedding guest list every day and discussed the wedding dishes with Li Ze.
Li Mengli and Li Menghan go to school on time every day. Everything at home is very peaceful.
However, Li Ze always kept that incident in his heart.
That cultivator named Lu Xia.
As Lao Yi had previously reported, Lu Xia said she would hold off his men and then personally come to Han City to kill his entire family.
In order to deal with Lu Xia, Li Ze directly used the system's first wish, transforming himself into an invincible immortal emperor in the entire universe.
He originally thought that Lu Xia would come running over to confront him in a fit of rage the next day or the day after.
As it turns out, several days have passed.
Lu Xia didn't even show up.
Li Ze sat on the sofa, twirling the string of beads in his hands. His thumb moved the beads quite quickly.
He felt his patience was running out.
"What on earth is Lu Xia up to?"
Li Ze thought to himself silently.
"They promised to kill my whole family, so why are they so quiet now? Are they scared?"
"Impossible! He's a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. In the eyes of ordinary people, he's practically a god. How could he possibly be afraid of a mere mortal merchant like me?"
Li Ze felt that something was very wrong with this matter.
More importantly, Li Ze is getting married to Zhang Ruoran in the middle of next month.
He wanted to give Ruoran the most perfect wedding of the century in the Guanghan Palace on the moon.
He absolutely could not allow a bomb that could explode at any moment to remain at this most critical juncture.
If there were a cultivator hiding in the shadows, watching his family every day.
Even if he is now an invincible Immortal Emperor, he cannot keep his entire family tied to him 24 hours a day.
If Lu Xia takes advantage of his absence to harm Ruoran or the children.
Then Li Ze will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
Li Ze's eyes turned extremely cold.
"No. We can't wait any longer."
"Since you won't come looking for me, I'll go looking for you myself."
"I want to get this problem completely resolved before the wedding."
Li Ze stood up.
He strode into the study.
He sat down in the chair behind his desk.
He shouted loudly towards the door:
"Oldest brother, come in."
The eldest brother immediately pushed open the study door and walked in.
The old man stood in front of the desk, standing very straight.
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
Li Ze looked at Lao Yi and asked in a very serious tone:
"Have our companies and businesses outside the company been affected in any way these past few days?"
The first senior student reported to the supervisor very seriously:
"Yes, boss."
"Ever since that night when the incident happened at the Wang family's old house."
"These past few days, we've encountered significant obstacles in several of our major projects within China."
"The industry and commerce bureau, the tax bureau, and some other relevant departments come to inspect our company every day. Many of our trucks are also stopped and inspected by traffic police on the road."
"This is clearly orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, trying to use official power to kill our business."
Upon hearing this report, Li Ze let out a cold laugh.
"Hmph. Just as I thought."
"That Lu Xia, she doesn't dare to come herself. So she sends these people with a bit of power to annoy me."
Li Ze looked at Lao Yi and directly gave the order:
"Oldest brother, go and investigate right away."
"Give me a list of everyone who has been directing these departments to target our company these past few days."
"I need to know. Who is listening to Lu Xia? Who is helping him to frame me?"
Upon hearing the order, Lao Yi did not hesitate at all.
He answered loudly:
"Understood, boss!"
The old man took out a secure communicator. He began to contact Li Ze's vast intelligence network in the Dragon Kingdom.
Less than ten minutes had passed.
The first man placed a tablet computer on Li Ze's desk.
The first leader pointed to the list on the tablet and reported to the supervisor:
"Boss, we've found out."
"According to our intelligence, there are three main people behind the scenes who are coordinating the mobilization of official forces this time."
"One of them is the vice mayor of Beijing in charge of commerce."
"One of them is a lieutenant general from the Southern Military Region of the Dragon Kingdom."
"There's another one. He's a commander from the local military region of Seoul."
"These three people used to have very deep vested interests with the Wang family in the capital. Now they all obey the orders of that cultivator named Lu Xia."
Li Ze looked at the three names on the tablet.
He was holding beads in his hand, a very domineering smile on his face.
"Good. Very good."
"Since they're willing to be Lu Xia's dogs, then I'll go and have a good talk with them one by one."
Li Ze stood up.
He checked the time. It was 10:00 AM.
Li Ze pointed directly to the third name on the list.
That was the commander of the local military region in Han City.
Li Ze said in a very relaxed tone:
"Oldest brother, prepare the car."
"We'll head to the Han City Military Region now."
"Our first stop. Let's go see this commander."
"I want to ask him. Are his soldiers meant to protect the country, or to help a charlatan against me, Li Ze?"
The elder answered loudly:
"Yes, boss!"
Ten minutes later.
Three black bulletproof SUVs drove out of the gate of Beichen Garden.
Li Ze sat in the car in the very middle.
The older one is driving in front.
Ten of the most elite super-cyborgs were also on board.
The car was driving very fast on the highway.
It took about forty minutes to drive there.
The convoy arrived at the gate of a military control zone on the outskirts of Han City.
Two sentries with guns stood outside the gate.
Three black SUVs without military license plates drove up.
The sentry immediately raised his hands and shouted:
"Stop the car! This is a military area. No unauthorized personnel allowed!"
The old man stopped the car.
He didn't say anything. He simply got out of the car.
The old man walked up to the sentry. He took out a black pass from his pocket.
This pass was the highest-level pass specially granted to Li Ze by the highest authorities after he had invested in numerous defense technology projects in China.
The sentry took the pass and glanced at it.
His expression immediately changed. He gave the old man a very respectful military salute.
The sentry called out loudly, "Come in!"
The gate railings were raised.
Three black SUVs drove smoothly into the military area's gate.
The car drove around the military area for a while.
Finally, it stopped in front of the headquarters building.
Li Ze pushed open the car door and slowly got out.
He was still wearing that very comfortable light gray casual outfit. He was holding the string of beads in his hand.
He looked up and glanced at the very solemn headquarters building.
Li Ze did not bring those cyborgs with him.
He only brought his eldest son with him. The two of them strode into the building.
The officers inside the building saw Li Ze. None of them recognized him.
But when they saw the highest-level pass in the old man's hand, no one dared to stop him.
Li Ze took Lao Yi directly to the top floor by elevator.
They walked to the door of the commander's office.
The office door was closed.
The old man stepped forward. He didn't knock.
He raised his hand, gripped the doorknob, and pushed hard.
The office door was pushed open.
Li Ze strode inside.
The office is very large. The interior is simply furnished.
Behind a large desk sat a man, probably in his fifties, wearing a military uniform.
He is Zhao Gang, the commander of the Han City Military Region.
Zhao Gang is reading documents.
He heard the door being pushed open. He looked up angrily.
He was about to start cursing.
However, when he realized that the person who walked in was Li Ze.
His eyes widened immediately.
He stood up abruptly from the chair.
Zhao Gang knew Li Ze. He knew Li Ze was the world's richest man, and he also knew how influential Li Ze was in China.
Moreover, these past few days he has been secretly causing trouble for Li Ze's company, following Lu Xia's orders.
Now, the person in question has actually come knocking on our door!
And they even barged directly into his headquarters office!
Zhao Gang was extremely shocked. But he was, after all, the commander. He quickly calmed down.
He looked at Li Ze. His face was stern, and he spoke loudly and sternly:
"Li Ze! How dare you!"
"This is the military region headquarters! You, a businessman, dare to barge in without prior notification!"
"Do you believe I'll call the guards to arrest you right now!"
Li Ze looked at Zhao Gang.
There wasn't a trace of fear on his face.
He smiled very easily.
He walked slowly to Zhao Gang's desk, the beads twirling in his hand.
Li Ze looked at Zhao Gang. He wasn't angry. He said in a very casual tone:
"Commander Zhao, don't get so angry."
"I didn't come here today to argue with you."
"I'm here to ask you something."
Li Ze paused for a moment.
His gaze became very direct and sharp.
He asked loudly:
"Commander Zhao, I, Li Ze, have always been law-abiding in my business dealings in Han City. I have paid so much tax to Han City and solved the employment problem for hundreds of thousands of people."
"I just wanted to ask you."
"Why did you listen to that charlatan named Lu Xia these past few days? Why did you send your men to investigate my company and stop my trucks?"
"Are you the commander of the Dragon Kingdom, or just a dog kept by Lu Xia?"
Li Ze's words were extremely harsh. He didn't give Zhao Gang any face at all.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang's face flushed bright red.
He slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"Bang!"
Zhao Gang shouted loudly:
"Li Ze! How dare you!"
"You think you can insult me just because you have a few bucks?"
"I'm telling you. We're investigating your company because it's suspected of illegal operations! We're carrying out official business!"
"As for this Lu Xia, I have no idea what you're talking about!"
Zhao Gang refused to admit it. He knew this matter absolutely could not be discussed openly.
Li Ze looked at Zhao Gang's stubborn and defiant attitude.
He shook his head.
He sighed and said:
"Commander Zhao, since you don't want to tell me the truth..."
"Then I won't force you."
Li Ze turned his head. He looked at Lao Yi standing next to him.
He issued the order very calmly.
"Oldest one."
"Since Commander Zhao doesn't know who Lu Xia is."
"Then help him remember."
"Let him know clearly which side he's on now."
