Power and wealth bring fragrance

Zhao Gang snatched the white jade pendant Buddha statue from Lin Weiwei's hands almost as if he were grabbing it, without even glancing at Lin Weiwei, who was pale and unconscious.

Lin Weiwei's only role for him was in this moment.

Once she poured all her luck into the pendant Buddha statue, Lin Weiwei lost her usefulness, so why would Zhao Gang waste his time looking at it again?

The moment Zhao Gang held the white jade Buddha pendant in his hand, he almost instantly shivered.

It was as if icy snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains had been poured down on his head, instantly sending a chill through his body and calming him down completely.

All the panic, fear, dread, and agitation vanished instantly with the coolness, along with the feeling of unease that as if impending doom was imminent.

Everything returned to normal.

Zhao Gang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his heart finally sinking back into his stomach.

Although he still looked disheveled, with a bloody head and several broken ribs, Zhao Gang still felt like he could control the whole situation as long as he had the Buddha pendant in his hand!

Completely relieved, Zhao Gang carefully placed the pendant in the inside pocket of his suit jacket, protecting it with utmost care.

He didn't know why the Buddha pendant suddenly failed. Logically speaking, he had found many women with suitable destinies to bless (recharge) the Buddha pendant over the years, so it shouldn't have suddenly failed so abruptly.

But the deed was already done, and Zhao Gang knew nothing about metaphysics, so he couldn't possibly find the cause.

Now that the pendant is back to normal, just treat it as such and use it normally. Just be more careful when using it in the future.

At worst, he could find a few more women with specific astrological charts to bless (recharge) the Buddha pendant!

However, if it were an ordinary woman, Zhao Gang could have as many as he wanted.

But finding a woman with a compatible destiny is much more difficult.

Over the years, Zhao Gang has only found a handful of people, not counting Lin Weiwei and Liu Xiangrong whom he has recently encountered.

Now that Lin Weiwei has been used, the only remaining candidate is Liu Xiangrong.

If anything were to happen to the Buddha pendant before Liu Xiangrong is found, then there would truly be no way to save it!

Upon realizing this, Zhao Gang felt a sudden surge of crisis.

No, we must find Liu Xiangrong as soon as possible!

But he had just given the order to eliminate Wei Yuan!

At the time, with Lin Weiwei by his side, he wasn't in a great hurry to find Liu Xiangrong.

Furthermore, relying on his immense power, he believed he could find Liu Xiangrong even without Wei Yuan, so he simply ordered Wei Yuan to be eliminated.

But who could have known that the accident would happen so quickly!

Wei Yuan is currently the only person who knows Liu Xiangrong's whereabouts.

If we kill him, then the channels through which we can find Liu Xiangrong in the short term will be effectively cut off!

No, we have to stop my men from killing Wei Yuan right now!

For the first time in his life, Zhao Gang desperately hoped that his subordinates would be a little less proactive and less driven!

Feeling a sense of crisis, Zhao Gang gritted his teeth and tried to slowly stand up by holding onto the wall.

But as soon as he exerted force, the excruciating pain from his ribs felt like a sledgehammer, instantly shattering all the strength he had just gathered.

"Sun Chao, Sun Chao!!!"

Zhao Gang could only grit his teeth and call out to Sun Chao, his ribs throbbing with pain.

Fortunately, Sun Chao stayed at the fire door in the stairwell, keeping a close eye on the activity in the stairwell.

Upon hearing Zhao Gang's voice, Sun Chao immediately pushed open the door and rushed in, leaping to Zhao Gang's side.

Sun Chao was somewhat surprised when he saw Lin Weiwei unconscious.

How could someone faint so quickly?

But Sun Chao didn't have time to think it through and quickly and carefully helped Zhao Gang up.

Before Zhao Gang could even stand up straight, he gasped for breath and spoke rapidly.

"Quickly, go! We can't kill Wei Yuan!"

"Tell them to stop!"

Sun Chao couldn't help but be taken aback again.

Why aren't you killing them again?

Just now, weren't you gritting your teeth, thinking that Wei Yuan was ungrateful and wanted to tear him to pieces?

These big shots, how come their faces change even faster than Tian Qi in the summer? Isn't this just torturing the people below them?

However, Sun Chao only dared to grumble inwardly; naturally, he didn't have the guts to question Zhao Gang's orders.

He supported Zhao Gang with one hand and took out his phone with the other to make a call.

In the interrogation room, a man in a suit with a cold expression was about to walk towards Wei Yuan with a syringe full of liquid when a phone call came in.

He stopped, took out his phone and answered the call. Before he could even speak, he heard Sun Chao's urgent command.

"Stop!"

"We mustn't kill Wei Yuan!"

"Wait for me, I'm coming back right away!"

The man was puzzled, but dared not disobey, and just pursed his lips.

"You're lucky, kid."

After hanging up the phone, the man carefully refilled the syringe with the liquid into a sealed glass container, not daring to let even the slightest bit leak out.

Wei Yuan, who had also clearly heard the phone call, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is Sun Chao coming back?

And they even ordered people to stop killing him?

This isn't right!

Wei Yuan used his flying dagger to sever the Buddha statue's protective aura around Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang should be suffering from karmic backlash by now, and might even be dead.

Why is Sun Chao not in a hurry to save his boss, but instead has the leisure to come back to him?

Something's not right, something's very, very wrong!

Wei Yuan's thoughts raced like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he deduced the core of the matter from just one phone call.

Therefore, it seems that Zhao Gang is not dead.

Not only did he not die, but he also wanted to come looking for him.

Sun Chao was just a mouthpiece; the one who didn't want him to die was definitely Zhao Gang.

After figuring this out, Wei Yuan couldn't help but feel astonished.

Zhao Gang, that guy, actually survived the karmic backlash caused by his flying dagger. He's incredibly resilient!

Could it be that he has some secret that Wei Yuan hasn't noticed?

Wei Yuan couldn't help but feel curious, and even more curious about what Zhao Gang wanted to say to him.

In just a short while, Zhao Gang, supported by Sun Chao, returned to the corridor on the nineteenth floor and slowly made his way to the door of the interrogation room.

The man who had just wanted to kill Wei Yuan stood respectfully at the door. When he saw Zhao Gang's disheveled and bloodied appearance, he was shocked and his eyes widened. He immediately lowered his head and began to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich.

There are some things that are not for him to see.

If you see it and know it, then there's trouble.

Fortunately, Zhao Gang had no time to bother a nobody. He gripped the doorknob, took a deep breath, and gave Sun Chao a cold, sidelong glance.

"You are all outside. You are not allowed to go in without my order."

"Deal with that woman in the stairwell properly, leave no trace."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Gang had already turned around and laboriously moved step by step into the interrogation room, slamming the door shut.
