Absolutely serious Xingtie, I awakened the other world system?

　His body was as fast as lightning as he shuttled between the Jin gatekeepers, and every move he made contained great power.

　Bai Qiong hit a Jin man gatekeeper in the chest with a stick. The huge force sent it flying and it hit the wall with a dull sound.

　He dodged another attack from the golden gatekeeper by leaning sideways, and hit it on the head with his backhand, causing its head and the talisman to be dented.

　In just a few breaths, more than a dozen Jin gatekeepers were knocked to the ground by Bai Qiong and lost their combat effectiveness.

　They lay on the ground, with body parts scattered all over the floor, red light flickering in their eyes. They seemed to be struggling to stand up, but were unable to do so.

　Mingxi's face turned pale, and she looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. She could never have imagined that Bai Qiong could have dealt with more than a dozen golden gatekeepers in such a short time.

　"you you……"

　Mingxi's voice trembled and her eyes were full of fear.

　Bai Qiong walked towards Mingxi step by step, his eyes were cold and his voice was low: "Now, it's your turn."

　"How is it possible? In such a short time, they defeated so many Jin people. Even the rumored strongest young Yunqi Yanqing couldn't do it! Who are you?!"

　Mingxi was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly. She shouted fiercely, "You... don't come over here!"

Chapter 53: Ending

　"People like you would also be afraid? When you did these disgusting things, didn't you ever think about today?"

　Bai Qiong's voice was cold and without a trace of emotion, as if he was stating a fact.

　Mingxi's body trembled slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and said through gritted teeth: "What do you know? I am protecting Jinren Lane from foreign capital! Relying on those outdated business projects in the past, Jinren Lane can't even pay the rent! Not to mention surviving the competition with the company!"

　She took a deep breath, as if trying to draw strength from these words, and her voice became a little higher: "Without me, Golden Man Lane would have been swallowed up by those greedy corporate agents long ago!"

　"absurd!"

　Bai Qiong interrupted her coldly, "So this is why you chose to embark on the path of crime?"

　Yukong also walked slowly forward at this time. Although her face was still a little pale, her eyes had regained their former sharpness.

　"I'm very curious, how can a small secretary like you have such great power?"

　Yukong's voice was cold and questioning, "Where is the old president of Jinren Lane? He and I are old acquaintances. If he were still here, he would definitely stop you."

　When Mingxi heard the words "old president", a trace of disgust and disdain flashed in his eyes.

　"You mean the old stubborn guy who still wants to rule the country with only one head left?"

　Mingxi sneered, "It has lived too long, so long that it can no longer keep up with the times. I have long since stripped it of its power. Now I have the final say over the entire Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce, and I also formulated these transformation plans by myself!"

　She puffed out her chest, as if to show off her achievements: "Without me, the novel group six*; four Jinren Lane would have been annexed by foreign capital long ago!"

　Bai Qiong looked at Ming Xi, his eyes full of disappointment: "At least in this matter, you are worse than those guys in the company. You think your actions are just, but you never thought about how many people you have hurt."

　Mingxi's eyes flickered, as if Bai Qiong's words touched a nerve.

　She sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm:

　"Oh, I heard that although Mr. Bai Qiong is an unknown visitor, he has not been to many planets. You should take the Starry Sky Train out more often to walk around and see how dirty and ugly this world is. Maybe after seeing it, you will change your naive ideas."

　Bai Qiong was not angered by Ming Xi's words. He said calmly, "I will go and see, but I will stick to my idea of not harming innocent people, and I will never change."

　Mingxi looked at Baiqiong deeply, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, including reluctance, ridicule, and...

　An imperceptible trace of fear.

　At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside.

　Yan Qing led a team of cloud cavalry and hurried over from the gap in the wall. He saw Bai Qiong and Yu Kong standing in the field at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

　"Master Yukong, Mr. Baiqiong, are you all right?"

　Bai Qiong shook his head slightly: "Nothing."

　Yukong looked at Baiqiong, his cheeks slightly flushed, and he said softly: "Um... I, I'm fine..."

　Bai Qiong pointed at Ming Xi who was slumped on the ground and said, "The main culprit of the whole farce is right there. The rest will be handled by your Luofu Xianzhou. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest first."

　Yan Qing looked in the direction of Bai Qiong's finger and saw the distraught Mingxi at a glance.

　A trace of anger flashed in the boy's eyes, but he still turned to Bai Qiong and said respectfully: "Mr. Bai Qiong, please stay. Please follow me to the Shen Ce Mansion and make a record, and then you can go back. And Lord Yukong, you have to go too..."

　Bai Qiong spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, but you better hurry up."

　After he finished speaking, he looked at Yukong again with a questioning look in his eyes.

　Yukong understood Baiqiong's meaning and nodded slightly to indicate that he was fine.

　Upon seeing this, Yan Qing immediately ordered the Cloud Cavalry behind him: "Come here, arrest the culprit!"

　Several Cloud Cavalry soldiers immediately stepped forward and restrained Mingxi.

　Mingxi did not resist, but just stared at the ground blankly, as if he had lost all his strength.

　Yan Qing then said to Bai Qiong and Yu Kong: "Master Yu Kong, Mr. Bai Qiong, let's leave here first."

　Bai Qiong and Yukong nodded and followed Yan Qing out of the embroidery workshop filled with filth and corruption.

　The Yunqi troops were still handling the scene. The relevant personnel of the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce had been executed, and the female slaves who were bought to provide illegal services had also been rescued.

　"Go away...behave yourself!"

　A team of Cloud Cavalry escorted all the people involved in the case out of the embroidery workshop. The one at the front was the fox madam.

　She lowered her head, covered her face, and did not dare to face the crowd.

　"嘤...嘤嘤..."

　Another group of civil servants from the Tianbosi and Dihengsi were investigating and questioning the purchased embroiderers one by one.

　But now they are huddled together and crying, and few of them can calm down and cooperate with the work.

　In the world outside the embroidery workshop, the moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the path of Jinren Lane, clear and soft.

　The silver light scattered among the leaves, entangled with the wind, seems to sweep away all the filth in the world.

　……

　Within a few days of this incident, Luofu Xianzhou officially issued an announcement.

　After reading the content of the announcement, Bai Qiong realized that the decadent and corrupt business in Jinren Lane did not last long, only about two weeks.

　If they had really been in business for a long time and made money, they would not be unable to pay the rent owed to the company.

　It took less than two days from the time Bai Qiong and his team discovered that there was a problem with the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce to the time the problem was resolved.

　As for why the Tianbosi, which was previously in charge of commercial foreign trade, did not find any abnormalities, it was because the staff stationed at the Jinren Lane Wharf had long been corrupted by the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce.

　Not only the Tianbosi, but also some officials of the Dihengsi, have colluded with the Jinrenxiang Chamber of Commerce...

　This also resulted in the failure of Tianbosi's first review operation.

　In a sense, Scott also made a great contribution. If he had not stuffed a thick cloud golden toad into the cargo at the dock and happened to inhale the banned bubbles of the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce, it is estimated that this mess in Jinren Lane would have taken a long time to be discovered.

　Yukong fulfilled its promise to Scott and held a bidding ceremony at the Jinren Lane Wharf Chamber of Commerce.

　The final result of the bidding was neither that the company group represented by Scott made a complete profit nor that the remaining few shops in Jinren Lane won the bid.

　After deliberation and discussion, they founded an organization called "Jinren Lane Business Cooperative" with the intention of checking and balancing each other.

　In addition, they jointly elected a man named Minghan as the leader of the cooperative to operate and manage the Jinren Lane Wharf.

　Bai Qiong remembered this NPC named Minghan. He was the young master of the local Chamber of Commerce "Tonggongfang" in Jinren Lane. He also had experience studying abroad and was one of the company's agents stationed in Jinren Lane this time.

　In the original plot of Star Dome Railway, he ultimately failed in the business competition with the protagonist group, but he also took on the responsibility of reviving Jinren Lane.

　In the current world line, Minghan has formulated a new development strategy, which aims to give full play to the logistics transit function of the port while retaining most of the local shops.

　He continues to be in charge of the business operations of Jinren Lane, which does not seem to deviate from the original plot.

　Now, the embroidery workshop is already in the process of reopening. Yukong personally participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony and solemnly promised, "From now on, the light here... belongs only to those who hold the needle and thread!"

　Mingxi, the culprit, also received the punishment she deserved, and what awaits her is imprisonment in Yuyu Prison.

　Things seemed to have come to an end, but Bai Qiong still felt that something was wrong...

　In the original plot, although Mingxi is trying his best to ensure the continuation of local shops, he does not go to extremes and use such illegal means to make profits and make up for the losses of traditional businesses.

　If one makes different choices when faced with various events, causing the world line to deviate, this is understandable.

　On March 7, it was understandable that Topa and the others had changed because they had too much contact with me and were at the center of the vortex of events.

　So what about Mingxi?

　The dirty business of the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce only started two weeks ago.

　Two weeks ago...

　Wasn’t that when I just obtained the other world system?

　Could it be that all of this, in the end, is still related to my own deceptive system? !

Chapter 54: Approaching the Truth

　Thinking of this, Bai Qiong's heart was shocked.

　He took out his phone and opened the previous group chat.

　Although Scott contributed to the Golden Man Lane incident, Bai Qiong kicked Scott out without hesitation after thinking that what he was going to ask next might involve confidential information.

　Who isn't a lone wolf?

　Bai Qiong sent a message to Yukong in the group chat, asking—

　[Bai Qiong: Lord Yukong, I want to ask you, did the Jinrenxiang Chamber of Commerce's infiltration of public officials also begin two weeks ago? ]

　It was more than ten minutes later that Yukong responded.

　[Yukong: No, according to our investigation, the corruption plan of the Jinrenxiang Chamber of Commerce is long-term and premeditated. Mingxi has actually been planning this for a long time.]

　[Yukong: Thanks to Mr. Bai Qiong, this crime was nipped in the bud before it got too bad. Otherwise, if the news got out, the reputation of Xianzhou would be damaged.]

　Looking at the message sent by Yukong, Bai Qiong fell into a brief contemplation again.

　I started planning it a long time ago...

　Is it related to my system?

　If it has nothing to do with my system, then perhaps it involves another unknown existence...

　This involves an earlier layout! And the reason behind it may be far more terrifying than I imagined.

　Thinking of this, Bai Qiong asked Yukong again -

　[Bai Qiong: Lord Yukong, I would also like to ask, what Mingxi said, that the Qiongguan Formation cannot calculate anything now, is it true? ]

　[Yukong: Why are you asking this? {Alert}]

　[Bai Qiong: I feel like there are some things I don’t understand right now, so I want to ask Master Taibu to tell my fortune.]

　[Yukong: I'm afraid there are some problems. Just two weeks ago, some things in the universe were indeed blocked by an energy body that had never been seen before. Many things cannot be calculated accurately, or in other words, they cannot be calculated directly. Now even the calculation of the trajectory of the immortal boat has problems. ]

　[Yukong: Mingxi also knew this news, so she was so fearless.]

　[Su Chang: Oh! Then I understand. That's why you, Lord Yukong, didn't want to ask the Taibu Division for help. After the first operation failed, you had already anticipated that there were spies planted inside the Diheng Division and Tianbo Division, so you didn't want to make any large-scale moves.]

　【Yukong: {Like}】

　……

　Two weeks ago again?

　Why is it always that critical moment? !

　Bai Qiong felt a headache.

　I really can't figure this out on my own.

　But Taibusi is in trouble again, who can he turn to for help?

　Elio himself can't be contacted...

　It’s difficult…
