Chapter 168: The Only Clue! Leng Chang Appears!

Still going to force our way in?

Xu Jingming, bringing up the rear, narrowed his eyes at the sight, the vast golden Lei Ting faintly flickering in his palm.

At the first sign of anything wrong, the SS-rank Doushen Shenlei would come pouring out.

Under deliberate restraint, the aura of the Doushen Shenlei did not spread out too far.

The people ahead were not affected in the slightest.

But only Lin Qingyuan, the one closest to Xu Jingming, felt her heart suddenly lurch.

As if pinned by the gaze of a ferocious beast, every hair on her body stood on end — she didn't even dare to move!

Yet the feeling came quickly and left just as fast; in only an instant, the aura-struck Lin Qingyuan returned to normal.

"Huff, huff......"

She panted lightly, her chest rising and falling gently.

She instinctively looked back, but only saw the harmless-looking Xu Jingming behind her.

An illusion?

A puzzled expression surfaced on Lin Qingyuan's pretty face.

After carefully sensing for a moment and finding nothing amiss, she shook her head.

Suspecting she simply hadn't slept well the night before, she didn't pursue it further.

Once Lin Qingyuan turned her head away, Xu Jingming — who had been the first to notice something was off and had restrained his Doushen Shenlei — finally let out a breath of relief.

In daily life, he always dealt with classmates from Magic City who were at least mid-tier first-rank and possessed B-rank or higher abilities.

He had simply forgotten that for Awakeners like Lin Qingyuan,

even the slightest eruption of an SS-rank ability would produce an extremely powerful pressure......

Lin Hai, on the other hand, did not notice his niece's abnormality.

As a corporate boss who had long occupied a high position, he even employed his own squad of ability-users.

Faced with the few ability-users surrounding them, he was not the least bit afraid.

Instead, his brow furrowed, and an imposing dignity that needed no anger to inspire awe immediately appeared:

"What? Is your Blue Sea Tech Exhibition not welcoming us entrepreneurs? Can't you add one more person on the spot?"

"Should I call your President Leng and ask him whether we can add someone?"

Lin Hai lifted his eyelids, a bit annoyed inside.

Under normal circumstances, it probably wouldn't have come to this.

But just now, with his niece Lin Qingyuan's introduction, he had already learned that Xu Jingming came from Magic City Ability University.

He had also readily agreed just now to bring him along inside.

If they couldn't even get through the entrance, that would be a truly embarrassing loss of face.

"This......"

The few ability-users exchanged uncertain glances at his words.

Although they were second-rank ability-users, in the eyes of Blue Sea Tech's boss Leng Chang, they were nothing.

Let alone making a call — they didn't even have his phone number.

"What's going on?"

A lean man walked out of the guard booth, frowning.

"Captain, it's like this......"

At the lean man's arrival, the few ability-users immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly reported the situation.

"Boss Lin of Yuanyang Tech is also an old friend of our Boss Leng.

Adding one more person on the spot is no big deal."

After hearing the report, the lean man scanned Xu Jingming up and down repeatedly several times.

Then, with great magnanimity, he waved his hand and chose to let them pass.

To have risen to the position of captain, besides strength, one must have high emotional intelligence.

Although he did have Boss Leng's phone number, if he disturbed Boss Leng over such a trivial matter, his career as captain would be over.

Of course,

most importantly, this was only a mid-tier first-rank kid — even if let in, what threat could he possibly pose?

Could he possibly kill Boss Leng, who is protected by mid-tier fourth-rank bodyguards?

Isn't that a joke?

"Thank you, Captain Li."

Lin Hai clearly knew this man as well; he greeted him cheerfully, then led the group into the tech park.

Xu Jingming, who had no wish to force his way in, was naturally happy with this and entered Blue Sea Tech Park at the very back.

"Haha, Boss Lin, why have you arrived so late?"

"Boss Lin, long time no see."

"Boss Lin, being late is your fault."

"Sorry, sorry, got held up on the way."

"......"

The tech exhibition was set up inside Blue Sea Tech Park, in an open-air courtyard.

On the surrounding display stands, Blue Sea Tech's latest technological products were on display.

In the center, arranged like a cocktail party, were all sorts of pastries, drinks, and alcohol.

After Lin Hai let Lin Qingyuan and the others go off on their own.

He took his wine glass and, with a smile on his face, went off to chat with other business owners he was acquainted with.

Lin Qingyuan and this group of young men and women, on the other hand, were extremely lively as they brought Xu Jingming along to get some pastries.

"Class monitor, I heard from your uncle that Boss Leng from Blue Sea Technology is coming over later too?"

Beside the pastry table, Xu Jingming asked, somewhat curious.

"Of course — this tech exhibition was organized by him. As the host, how could he not show up?"

Lin Qingyuan explained with a smile.

"Good, as long as he shows up." Xu Jingming's eyes flickered.

That way, it saved him the trouble of spending more time searching.

After all, a tech park this big would take quite a while to search......

"Lengzhu Sect, the Jin Ning City Public Security Bureau has already noticed us.

Zhao Zhuji and his Fierce Tiger Society withdrew this morning. Aren't we preparing to withdraw yet?"

On the rooftop of the Blue Sea Technology building, group CEO Leng Chang and his Tier-4 mid-rank bodyguard were both present.

Leng Chang, dressed in a crisp black suit, appeared perfectly composed, but the bodyguard beside him wore a face full of incomprehension.

"Don't rush......"

Leng Chang stood at the edge of the rooftop, looking down — the entire Blue Sea Technology Park lay within his view.

He had joined the Tianming Sect ten years ago, then entered Jin Ning City to develop.

Among the nearly hundred Tianming Sect believers who entered Jin Ning City,

only he had made it to the end, even building a tech kingdom of his own.

Selling massive quantities of tech products, providing a steady stream of funds for the Tianming Sect.

It was precisely by virtue of this merit that he was able to become one of the Budezhu Sect of the Tianming Sect's Jin Ning City branch.

However, as the Tianming Sect was exposed to the world some time ago, the whole nation launched an investigation into the Tianming Sect.

Having already been largely exposed, he had no choice but to withdraw along with them.

"Wu Hang, let's go, down to the exhibition site below."

"Before withdrawing, I'd like to say goodbye to those old friends of mine......"

Unlike most anti-human Tianming Sect believers, what Leng Chang wanted was merely power.

Becoming a group CEO was for power; becoming a Budezhu Sect of the Tianming Sect branch was also for power.

Of course, if he had to choose between the two, he would naturally not hesitate to choose the Budezhu Sect of the Tianming Sect branch.

After all, a group CEO has no way to casually decide the life and death of others.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

At the exhibition, Xu Jingming's phone rang — the caller ID showed Cai Ju.

"Hm? Shouldn't he be taking action against the Fierce Tiger Society at this time?"

Xu Jingming instinctively sensed something was off and immediately chose to answer.

"Xu, have you found Leng Chang yet?"

It was clear that Cai Ju's voice was extremely urgent.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"The Fierce Tiger Society people ran! Right now Leng Chang is our only lead — don't let him get away too!"

"Leng Chang is trying to escape too?"

Hearing this, Xu Jingming immediately furrowed his brow, just about to unleash his power and search for Leng Chang with everything he had.

A voice, however, suddenly rang out from not far ahead: "My old friends, sorry to keep you waiting."

A refined-looking man in a suit, accompanied by a burly bodyguard, strode into the open-air courtyard.

"What is it?"

Seeing that Xu Jingming had gone silent, Cai Ju on the other end of the line hurriedly asked.

"Nothing — I've found Leng Chang."

Staring at the figure not far away, Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes, then hung up the phone......
