Starting from becoming a god, I travel through the heavens.

After Zhao Sheng and Su Xiaoli finished their meal, the latter said goodbye and left. Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Wu Xueqing calling. He answered, "What's up?"

"There's been some trouble in Hebei Province. You need to be prepared to flee China at any time. I suspect that Hebei Province wants to take this opportunity to demand more bargaining chips. In that case, the family will definitely abandon you," Wu Xueqing's words came through.

"After all, your value hasn't been demonstrated yet, and the demands from Hebei Province are too high. The family will definitely weigh the pros and cons, and the most likely outcome is that they will give up protecting you." Her words continued, sounding slightly hurried.

"I understand." Zhao Sheng hung up the phone with a normal expression, walked to a milk tea shop, bought two cups of milk tea, and headed towards Angel Soaring Co., Ltd.

As he traveled, he pondered whether to go to Hebei Province and directly use his mind to erase their memories. As long as he didn't expose his whereabouts, he shouldn't attract the attention of the Super God Academy.

Currently, the Super God Academy is focusing most of its efforts on probing the Taotie Legion and observing those with super genes, since the task of saving the Earth and China in the future rests on their shoulders.

Of course, he not only had to be cautious of the Super God Academy, but also had to prevent Dukao from making any whims that might attract his attention.

"Forget it, let's wait a bit longer. We should use mental techniques as little as possible, because once they're discovered, they'll inevitably cause endless trouble. There's no need to create trouble for ourselves because of the Zhao family." Zhao Sheng finally decided to wait a bit longer.

Those in Hebei Province are all officials; it's best to avoid provoking them if possible, as they are not like the Zhao family, who can use simple methods against them.

They control the resources of the entire Hebei province. While it might be difficult to deal with him, they can certainly create unnecessary trouble for him.

This is also one of the reasons why he chose to flee to China after destroying the Zhao family. He is not yet invincible, so he needs to play it safe and develop his strength. Otherwise, the state apparatus could really crush him.

Zhao Sheng quickly entered the company. The security personnel were all from Haisheng Security, and they all knew him, so no one dared to stop him unless they wanted to quit.

The first floor is the company lobby, and the twentieth floor is where the company president's office is located. He took the elevator directly to the twentieth floor, knocked on the door, and pushed it open to enter.

"Get the people below to handle it as soon as possible." Zhao Shenggang walked into the office and heard Wu Xueqing's voice. A woman in uniform nodded and left when she saw him come in.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to glance at his profile out of the corner of her eye.

"You've arrived, please have a seat." Zhao Sheng nodded and walked to the sofa next to him to sit down. Di San poured tea for him, glancing at him from time to time, which he was used to.

Wu Xueqing sat down on another sofa next to Zhao Sheng, looking at him as he casually sipped his tea, "What are your plans next? If you leave China now, I will immediately arrange for someone to prepare your ship ticket."

"If you choose to stay in China and wait for the outcome, the chances of your family protecting you are slim, even if I ask. They only want to minimize their losses and maximize their gains," she asked.

"Does anyone in Hebei Province know what's going on?" Zhao Sheng asked in return. Wu Xueqing knew what he was asking and replied, "The family originally offered a very generous deal, and Hebei Province is about to relent."

"Just when the two sides were about to reach an agreement, the people from Hebei Province went back on their word and wanted to increase their bargaining power. The family would definitely not agree to that, so the two sides were deadlocked."

"So, someone interfered, or perhaps someone from Hebei Province is trying to rip us off?" His eyes were cold. Who interfered? If he doesn't get the better end of the deal, who benefits from it?

He disliked being schemed against. They were all sitting at the table eating, and he was the dish being served. This made him very uncomfortable, and his thoughts were gloomy and confused!

Zhao Sheng's aura suddenly intensified, with a faint but palpable murderous intent lingering around him, but he still sipped his tea. "This is milk tea I bought for you, as a way of thanking you for taking care of me all day." He handed the milk tea to the two women.

Wu Xueqing noticed the change in Zhao Sheng's demeanor, took the milk tea and silently sipped it. Di San also stood quietly to the side, drinking his milk tea, glancing at him from time to time.

Ever since Zhao Sheng shielded her from the gaze once, other thoughts began to grow in her mind. She had always been the one to shield others, but no one had ever shielded her from the gaze before.

The feeling of being protected gave her a sense of pleasure.

"Wu Xueling." Zhao Sheng uttered a name, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a murderous intent. His aura suddenly changed to a chilling one. He had warned her, but there are always those who court death.

Wu Xueling had tried to recruit him, but he refused. Perhaps from that point on, she kept an eye on his movements and knew everything about him.

Therefore, the person who interfered in the transaction between Hebei Province and the Wu family was Wu Xueling. Only if the transaction failed, would he definitely seek connections again if he didn't want to leave China.

And she could then come out naturally, with the aim of recruiting him, to help him solve the troubles in Hebei Province, and he, unaware of her intentions, would even thank her.

"Impressive tactics, truly impressive! As expected, young ladies from prominent families are no ordinary people." Zhao Sheng chuckled, but his face betrayed no smile; instead, it was filled with a chilling aura.

The murderous intent in his eyes was impossible to conceal!

Wu Xueqing sat beside him, hearing his words clearly. Her eyes narrowed slightly. She had given Wu Xueling a warning before, but she didn't expect this illegitimate daughter to take her seriously.

Not only did she scheme against Zhao Sheng, but she even dared to scheme against me. Did she really think I wouldn't dare to kill her?

She glanced at the murderous aura emanating from Zhao Sheng and could only regret that she couldn't kill Wu Xueling herself. However, she could ask Zhao Sheng to do it, since there was no rule against asking outsiders to help in the selection of the heir.

She hired Zhao Sheng as a bodyguard because she was afraid that some potential heirs would hire thugs. As long as they didn't get caught, their families wouldn't blame them. That's how the struggle for the crown prince has always been.

If you die, you can only blame your incompetence!

Di San remained silent, knowing that this rule of the Wu family was an unspoken rule. If it were brought into the open, it might cause dissatisfaction among some people, and the elders would not agree.

Unspoken rules are acceptable, but they absolutely cannot be allowed to become explicit rules. Otherwise, too many talented people will die, which could easily lead to the decline of the family.

"Do you know Wu Xueling's whereabouts?" Zhao Sheng asked. The moment Wu Xueqing met his gaze, she felt a chill run through her body. His eyes lost their brightness and became as deep and dark as the depths of hell.

"I don't know much about her whereabouts. She's always been extremely cautious, otherwise she would have died countless times. Nobody likes having a concubine's daughter above them, and I'm no exception," she said, shaking her head.

"Okay, keep an eye on the transactions above and Wu Xueling's movements. Contact me immediately if anything happens." Zhao Sheng finished his tea and stood up.

"Di San, see Mr. Zhao Sheng off." Upon hearing this, Di San followed Zhao Sheng away. Wu Xueqing watched his departing figure, her eyes flashing with coldness as she thought of Wu Xueling's scheme.

She never expected to be pecked in the eye by a swallow after hunting swallows all day long. "Wu Xueling is really good at this. No wonder she has survived until now," she murmured softly.

Wu Xueling was very shrewd. Her scheme not only outmaneuvered the high-ranking officials in Hebei Province and the Wu family, but also affected Zhao Sheng and herself. She had foreseen the success of the plan and hid herself away.

"I hope you can hide forever, otherwise I don't mind sending you down with my own hands..." Wu Xueqing's eyes flickered, and after saying that, she stood up and returned to her post to continue her work.

the other side.

In a residential building in Hebei Province, Wu Xueling, dressed in a purple dress, sat gracefully on the sofa. Tea-making utensils were placed on the coffee table in front of her. She picked up a cup of tea with her slender hand, took a sip, and asked, "How is it going in Hebei Province?"

"Young Miss, the higher-ups in Hebei Province have agreed. They hope we can keep our promise." The housekeeper said with her head bowed. "Moreover, our people sent a message that Zhao Sheng has already learned of the news and is discussing with Xue Qing how to find Young Miss."

"Hehe." Wu Xueling chuckled. Ever since Zhao Sheng warned her once, she had to be very careful when scheming against him. If she revealed even the slightest trace of her whereabouts, he might really kill her.

"Young Miss, wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to promise them the gene serum on our own? The family certainly won't agree, and even the patriarch won't approve of your decision," the housekeeper said.

"Tianjiu, you don't understand. Interests can often bind people more effectively than personal relationships. I promise them enough benefits, and they will work for me. The gene serum is the bait I throw out."

"Even if they don't take the bait, I have ways to make them. No one can resist the temptation of immortality; even emperors throughout history couldn't resist, let alone these officials."

"Whether the family agrees or not is not important. Once I'm in that position, they'll have to agree even if they don't want to. Those old folks have been stubborn for too long," Wu Xueling put down her teacup and answered softly.

Tian Jiu remained silent. As the family's loyal servant, she dared not respond to the young lady's words, for speaking ill of the family would inevitably result in torture if the news were relayed back.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang group are all assassins trained by the Wu family. However, the Heaven and Earth groups have higher loyalty and a greater chance of obtaining gene serums.

This resulted in the Heaven and Earth Groups being much stronger than the Black and Yellow Groups!

"Young Miss, the clan leader intends to cancel this succession competition," the housekeeper spoke again. Wu Xueling looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What are the specifics?"

"The clan leader said it's related to the black hole in the sky. An alien from a galaxy called Styx is going to invade Earth, and the descent of the angels is also related to this," the housekeeper continued.

Wu Xueling remained calm, but her eyes revealed a deep sense of resentment. She had prepared a series of plans to eliminate Wu Xueqing, but they were terminated due to the so-called invasion of Earth by the Styx Galaxy!

"What a pity!" Wu Xueling shook her head. She felt sorry that she couldn't see Wu Xueqing's expression before she died. "Did Mother say when she would go back? The family should have a definite date for the return, right?" she continued to ask.

She has a good temperament and will not be angry because the competition for the heir was canceled. She simply feels unwilling and regretful that her plans have failed. She has been scheming and plotting, but in the end, it all came to nothing.

"I'm not sure either. Miss Xueqing doesn't have a specific date either." The housekeeper shook her head and continued, "But it should be sometime soon. Miss can start preparing in advance."

"In that case...then go find a piece of land. The gene serum can't be delivered, so move the Dragon Spirit Group to Hebei Province," Wu Xueling said after a moment of contemplation.

Longling Group is one of China's top 500 companies. She built it up from scratch without using any family resources. It was her fallback plan after failing to become the heir.

Her status as an illegitimate daughter was too conspicuous, and the legitimate daughters did not want her to live, so she secretly founded the Dragon Spirit Group.

The plan was to fake her death and escape, which would have ended her status as the eldest daughter of the Wu family. Unfortunately, the plan failed before it even began, leaving only one option among the two choices: to return to the Wu family!

"I understand, Miss." Tian Jiu nodded. She was the only one who knew that the Dragon Spirit Group was founded by the young lady and that it took five years to achieve its current status as one of China's top 500 companies.

"Oh, by the way, please deliver this to Zhao Sheng for me. I believe he will forgive my scheming if he sees it." Wu Xueling handed Tian Jiu a package that felt heavy and rolled around.

Tianjiu was curious about the contents of the package, but without the young lady's permission, she dared not open it. She replied with a "Yes" and turned to leave quickly.

Wu Xueling quietly sipped her tea, while picking up some documents from the sofa with her other hand to look at them. The documents included photos of Zhao Sheng from childhood to adulthood, hospital examination reports, and all the things that had happened to him!

This was information she had secretly collected: "Suffering from cancer, his strength suddenly increased. Can martial arts really make him that powerful?" Her eyes were bright, and her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders. "Perhaps he has other secrets."

"It's not safe here anymore." Wu Xueling stood up, her purple dress cascading down, her arms as white as lotus roots, the dress accentuating her curvaceous figure, and she walked away with a clattering sound in her high heels.

About an hour later.

With a click, the door opened, and several people in combat uniforms walked in. They were members of the Huang Group from Hangzhou that night. "Team leader, the young lady has left." One of the members searched the room.

Unfortunately, the room was empty, without any trace, as if they knew in advance that they would find their way here. There were no items left, except for the tea set on the tea table and a few cups of warm tea.

There was also a note on the tea table that read, "It's not easy for you all to keep this up. Have a cup of tea and continue your search."

Team leader Huang smiled wryly. Was the young lady making fun of them? "Brothers, let's have some tea before we leave," he said with a hint of helplessness.

After the Wu family learned that Wu Xueling was the one who was causing the trouble, they sent the Yellow Team to capture her and bring her back to the family. Since she had schemed against the family, it would be shameful not to punish her.

This also indirectly demonstrates Wu Xueling's resourcefulness.

"Team leader, could the young lady have drugged it to buy time? She'll definitely be far away by then," a member said.

The other members of the Yellow Team nodded. They all had counter-surveillance awareness and had studied this kind of psychology, so it was always better to be safe than sorry.

"Then let's not drink anymore. Let's leave and take the young lady back to the family before dark, otherwise the clan leader and elders will definitely blame us." The member's words reminded the leader of Group Huang. He put down his teacup, picked up the note, crumpled it up, threw it into the trash can, and then turned and left.

Unfortunately, Wu Xueling played a time difference with them. By this time, she had already boarded a plane and left Hebei Province, returning to Tianhe City. She didn't bring Tian Jiu with her, since having too many people around would easily attract the attention of the Wu family.

The Wu family owns a small portion of the business in Tianhe City, so they naturally have more informants than in other provinces. She has to be careful. She knows a bit about makeup and can hide in Tianhe City to remotely control the Longling Group.

More importantly, she couldn't guarantee that Tian Jiu was absolutely loyal to her. Tian Jiu was a trained assassin trained by the family, and his loyalty to the family was obviously greater than hers. Therefore, it was best to be cautious and not bring Tian Jiu along.
