Chapter 1211 The Business Empire of Master Shen

Others are well-connected in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Shen Qingxi is well-connected in both the Yin and Yang realms.

During the time Li Mumu was away studying, she not only took over all the resources Li Mumu left behind in the local area, but also reorganized and integrated the three major sects under her name. Now she has become a powerful figure in Tianmen City who can control everything.

There must have been support and tacit approval from the intelligence agency behind this, otherwise she couldn't have set up such a large-scale operation.

Rumors circulated that Shen Qingxi had used her body to curry favor with a high-ranking leader in the Special Service Bureau.

Some say that she is skilled in social interaction, and her deep-seated, cunning, and ruthless nature is reminiscent of the former president.

But these are not the main reasons; the real reason lies in the "Sihai Chamber of Commerce".

Wang Yunxiao was studying at school and was unaware of the changes that had taken place in the market over the past few months.

In fact, it can be summarized in one sentence: utterly devastating.

Actually, there were already some bad signs starting in the first half of the year. But no one expected that it was just the beginning, and now nobody knows when it will end.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce seems to have inexhaustible resources and wealth, and has managed to acquire most of Tianmen through sheer money.

Today, almost all profitable businesses on the market are monopolized by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. The businesses previously invested in by the old guard, wealthy families, and powerful landlords have either been acquired or driven out of business.

It's just a simple, unpretentious price war.

You sell something for one dollar, I sell it for two cents, I don't make any profit at all, I just want to drive you out of business.

Over the course of the year, the people of Tianmen had accumulated thick stacks of various discount coupons and stockpiled enough grain, oil, rice, and flour to last them for at least three years.

As many as a hundred local business owners, shareholders, and others have committed suicide by hanging, jumping off buildings, or taking poison.

No one showed them any pity; everyone was applauding.

Who would sympathize with unscrupulous merchants? They used to sell goods at such high prices, making countless ill-gotten gains. Even if they're dead now, they've already enjoyed worldly riches and honors, and they're not worth a single tear from us.

Early death and early rebirth.

Walking down the street, looking at the newly renovated shops around him, Wang Yunxiao felt a mix of emotions.

Emotionally, he was naturally pleased to see Tianmen now flourishing and bustling.

But behind the phrase "a profusion of flowers" lies another saying: "cooking oil over a raging fire."

This is not normal business competition.

But ordinary people don't understand these things; they only care who's giving away eggs for free.

Shen Qingxi has now transformed himself, becoming the head of the "Shen's" conglomerate. He bought an eight-story commercial building in the most prosperous area of ​​Tianmen City, directly opposite the newly built super department store called Quanyechang.

Just across the street, next to it is the branch headquarters of Pacific Bank, and on the other side is the China Restaurant, which has a history of several decades.

The four buildings, constructed together in a blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles, have become a new landmark in Tianmen City. The surrounding blocks are lined with high-rises and bustling with traffic, far surpassing the former Nanshi Street in terms of prosperity.
Shen Qingxi's office is a full 150 square meters, with a two-meter-tall globe in the middle, making him look... exceptionally nouveau riche.

The letter to Wang Yunxiao was sent three days ago, probably timed precisely when the school was on holiday.

The letter didn't contain much information; it simply invited him to meet so they could discuss important matters in detail.

But it's really quite unbelievable that Shen Qingxi would write such a serious letter.

If Wang Yunxiao didn't know that she herself was also a time traveler, he would have even suspected that she had been replaced.

When Wang Yunxiao entered the office, Shen Qingxi was chatting with several old men inside.

His military uniform caught the attention of the old men, who couldn't help but glance at him, wanting to know his identity.

"Let's leave it at that for today. We can talk again if anything changes in the future."

In public, Shen Qingxi exuded the air of a superior. After issuing the order to leave, the old men dared not utter a word, stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.

"Guess who these people are?"

After everyone left, Shen Qingxi turned around and walked up to Wang Yunxiao, looked him up and down, and nodded in satisfaction.

"How would I know."

And don't act like we have some kind of close relationship.

Wang Yunxiao asked calmly, "What do you need me for?"

"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

Shen Qingxi opened the drawer, took out a slice of squid, put it in her mouth, and chuckled softly, "Have you forgotten our little secret?"

what?
Does such a thing exist?

Wang Yunxiao thought about it carefully.

"You mean... about the signal flags?"

Li Mumu, Shen Qingxi, and Xia Yubing are all members of the "Signal Flag" project within the "United Ark" program.

However, the three people had completely different attitudes toward this job.

Li Mumu didn't care whether she did it or not, since it wasn't up to her to decide anyway.

Xia Yubing insisted on completing the established task.

Shen Qingxi disagreed, believing that since she had been given a second chance at life, she should take charge of her own destiny.

"You two are so carefree, you've all gone off to school to study, leaving me all alone to struggle outside. Sigh, I don't even know who I'm working so hard for."

Shen Qingxi sighed as she chewed on the shredded squid.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit..."

"That's just the surface; in reality, my heart is already riddled with holes."

"Alright, so what do you want me to do?"

Wang Yunxiao was too lazy to beat around the bush with her.

If it were my own wife, it would be fine; she might say a few flirty things now and then, which I would just consider a bit of fun in life.

The problem is that Shen Qingxi is not his wife, yet he still has designs on his wife.

"three things."

Shen Qingxi held up three fingers: "Let's start with the less important things—you haven't been out for almost half a year, so you probably don't know what's going on outside. Right now, someone is selling extraordinary traits in secret..."

What the hell?
Sister, did you get transported to the wrong book?
You've brought out all the extraordinary features for me, what sequence are you at now?

Just as Wang Yunxiao was about to complain, he suddenly had a flash of insight and understood what Shen Qingxi wanted to express.

"That's right, just like you think. Someone cultivated the Twelve Methods and then extracted the results of their cultivation and sold them as commodities."

"That stuff can be extracted?"

"That's right."

Upon hearing this news, Wang Yunxiao's first thought was, "Are you kidding me?"

They're not even the same setting.

The foundation of cultivating the twelve methods is cognition. One's cognition determines the results of cultivation, which can also be called talent.

The sixth child, who is born with a tendency to always think about surviving and protect everyone else in the face of danger, is definitely not suited to cultivate the Guardian class.

How are you going to refine this stuff? By putting your brain into someone else's brain?

The authorities did not deliberately block the practice methods of the Twelve Dharma Gates; or rather, they actively promoted the Twelve Dharma Gates after the establishment of the new government.

I'm not afraid of you learning, I'm just afraid you won't be able to learn it.

Based on considerations of prudence, the textbook was even revised several times.

You'll come across this knowledge sooner or later if you study hard.

If you can't access it, it only means your grades aren't good enough and you lack the talent for cultivation. "What does the refined product look like?"

Shen Qingxi took a metal syringe from the drawer and threw it to Wang Yunxiao.

The syringe was filled with a bright red liquid... yes, it was definitely blood.

But it's not ordinary blood.

Wang Yunxiao shook it in his hand, taking the opportunity to organize the memories in his mind.

"The blood of God?"

That thing that the Blood Cup Cult researched?
"Yes, it is essentially God's Blood extracted from the blood of cultivators, containing the cultivation results of related methods."

Shen Qingxi pointed to her neck: "With a single needle prick, you can go from an ordinary person to a cultivator, mastering the supernatural powers of the relevant methods. Isn't that amazing?"

What's so great about that?
If such a useful method existed, the authorities would have already...

Who is selling this?

"I."

Ok?
Seeing Wang Yunxiao's puzzled look, Shen Qingxi calmly explained, "I am but a humble woman, and I can be considered a local tyrant in Tianmen City's underworld. Who else but me can do this kind of business?"

Wang Yunxiao thought about it and realized that he had asked the wrong question.

What they said is right. Nowadays, apart from the heretical cults that have been wiped out by the Special Service Bureau, almost all the remaining unorthodox and illegal sects on Tianmen Street are in Shen Qingxi's hands.

The Longevity Cult, the Mechanical God Cult, and the group of Japanese people who worship the Pear Blossom Fairy.

No matter what news is circulating on the street, or what business is being conducted, nothing escapes Shen Qingxi's eyes.

"Who is producing this thing?"

"The Shen family."

Ok……

Well, you've gone too far with that.

What Shen family is left? Aren't you the only remaining member of the Shen family?
"So this is the business the Shen family is in, but they're still in the research and development stage and haven't produced any finished products yet. Do you remember that warehouse at Yamazaki Pharmaceutical?"

Shen Qingxi explained, "That was the Shen family's secret laboratory, where they trained their own human skin painters and conducted research in this area... and then Li Mumu blew it up."

Wang Yunxiao had a very deep impression of the Yamazaki Pharmaceutical warehouse.

Of course, at that time he didn't know that it was Li Mumu who blew it up, and neither did Shen Qingxi.

It wasn't until she later discovered that the missing Western medicines in the warehouse were all listed in the smuggling ledgers of the Changsheng Sect, and the two sides reconciled the accounts that she uncovered this secret.

"The Shen family has been wiped out, and the mastermind behind it, Tartarus, has been arrested. Is it possible that someone has dug up old technical data again?"

"The key point is not who found it. The information about the Blood of God is already widely available, so it's not surprising that anyone is studying it."

Shen Qingxi shook her head and said, "The real key question is, what is the purpose of researching this thing?"

Yes, what is it?

Instead of using official channels, they insist on resorting to these underhanded and shady methods in private.

It can't be because you don't love learning, can it?
Wang Yunxiao weighed the syringe in his hand and asked, "Does the Special Service know about this?"

"Of course I know, but you also know their style of doing things."

Shen Qingxi spread his hands and said, "This kind of thing has only been on the market for a short time. I only got two samples. One is with me, and the other was given to Commander Xia to handle. Given the efficiency of the Special Service Bureau, I estimate that it will take at least three to five months to close the net."

That's right, he's a seasoned veteran angler.

Wang Yunxiao strongly agrees with this.

"Since the Special Service Bureau has already launched an investigation, why are you telling me about this?"

He looked at Shen Qingxi, who also looked at him silently, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Currently, only three methods are available on the market: those of the government soldiers, artisans, and demons and heretics, and only the most basic models are available."

"If this technology could actually be applied..."

"Commander Wang, don't you want to have an heir?"

Bullshit! Is that what "leaving descendants" means?

Don't speak so ambiguously!

Shen Qingxi touched her flat stomach and said with a grin, "The proper kind is fine too."

So you actually know how indecent you are!
"What's the second thing?"

Wang Yunxiao decisively decided to skip this topic.

"Help me kill some people."

"Murder? And more?"

Wang Yunxiao was even more confused, thinking to himself, "Why would you need to specifically come to me for something like murder?"
Miss Shen, are you, a dignified witch, unable to lift a knife? Or are you unwell due to your period?
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother you."

Shen Qingxi smiled and said, "But the person we're going to kill this time has something to do with your husband."

Wang Yunxiao was taken aback.

"how to say?"

"You also know that Miss Li was born and raised in Cipher, and only returned to China last year, right?"

"know."

"Did she tell you about her relationships with other people there when she was a child?"

"..."

I don't know, mainly because I didn't ask.

Wang Yunxiao said coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"There's no way to explain this too clearly."

Shen Qingxi spread her hands and said, "You should know her father, Mr. Mu, very well, right? He is now a well-known agent of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. It's no exaggeration to say that he makes a fortune every day."

"Now that some highly respected seniors from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce have moved to Tianmen, regarding Mr. Mu..."

I understand, no need to elaborate.

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself, "I've already thought about this problem once. Hurry up and take it down."

It's nothing more than wanting to take advantage of Boss Mu's weak power.

The distant relatives of Prince Mu's mansion had already done it once before.

Now the old guys from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce also want to try it out.

A man with wealth but no power is like a woman with beauty but no family background; she will always be surrounded by hungry wolves.

But for a problem of this magnitude... Boss Mu can handle it himself, he doesn't need my help at all.

It was Shen Qingxi who said it: help kill someone.

"Before returning to China, Miss Li had received an invitation from the Yellowstone Throne."

Shen Qingxi said seriously, "If Mr. Mu does not agree to their conditions, they are prepared to make Li Mumu's dark history a fact."

"So what? Does she have a good reputation now?"

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself, even if the Yellow Stone Throne is a cesspool, how much worse are the three of you in the martial arts world than the Yellow Stone Throne?
Shen Qingxi shook her head and said, "The Sihai Chamber of Commerce's forceful entry into Tianmen has almost caused widespread resentment, if not outright. The locals are already very unhappy, with some even calling the President's office directly. It's clear the situation is about to get out of control. Do you think we need to send someone out to take the blame and ease the tension?"
