Chapter 92: Facing Facing Cang Luo's Helplessness

Facing Facing Cang Luo ended the call, told the Husky to stop, and walked under a tree, pondering who was messing with him.

"Could it be foreign powers like Eden and the Izumo Society?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately thought of these two factions, but then shook his head and dismissed the guess.

According to his cousin, the opponent's tactics went beyond normal business competition; they even mobilized relevant government departments to file reports on tax, fire safety, and quality supervision issues, forcing the company to suspend operations for rectification and ultimately go bankrupt.

Foreign powers shouldn't be able to command those departments, which means it was domestic forces behind this?

But why would domestic forces mess with him? Didn't they know his identity was special and that he bore the sacred mission of China's fifth technological revolution?

What benefit would this bring to China? Or rather, what benefit would it bring to them?

When had he offended them? Or who had he offended?

Facing Facing Cang Luo fell into deep thought and quickly identified a target: Chen Jun, the Deputy Minister of Feng Lin Huo Shan.

Chen Jun had been dismissed because of him and must harbor deep resentment; he had both the motive and the capability.

In fact, that text message was likely sent by him.

"Damn it! I risked life and death in another world collecting intelligence for the motherland, yet I never expected to be persecuted by treacherous people!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo cursed angrily, picked up his phone, and called Li Weiguo; if he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he would refuse to provide further intelligence from the other world.

However, just then, the phone vibrated again with another incoming call.

This time it wasn't his cousin Yang Yongshan; it was an unknown number. When Facing Facing Cang Luo saw the unfamiliar number, he immediately realized there was another person with a motive.

Over half a month ago, Facing Facing Cang Luo had received a call from an unknown number—this very same one. The caller had introduced himself as "Young Master" and demanded Facing Facing Cang Luo hand over the content of the first layer of Meiti Shengong, speaking in an extremely arrogant tone.

Facing Facing Cang Luo naturally refused to hand it over, and after a few threats, the other party hung up.

At that time, Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately contacted Li Weiguo, asking him to investigate the unknown number. Now, more than half a month had passed with no response, and Facing Facing Cang Luo had almost forgotten about the incident.

Yet today, the moment he learned his company had been forced into bankruptcy, the other party called. Who could believe there was no connection between the two?

Facing Facing Cang Luo's face instantly darkened. He answered the call and said coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

"Hehe! You've forgotten Young Master so quickly?"

The other party still spoke in a hoarse electronic voice, with the same overbearing arrogance. He laughed, "I heard you opened several companies. Could you let Young Master take a share?"

With this statement, it was confirmed that the company's bankruptcy was the other party's doing, aimed at obtaining the content of the first layer of Meiti Shengong.

Could he have a way to cultivate on Earth? Otherwise, why would he want Meiti Shengong?

Facing Facing Cang Luo roared in a low voice, "Very well! Very well! For the losses you've caused me this time, once I return to Earth, I will make you repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

"Tch!" The other party sneered. After the laughter, he casually added, "It seems you still don't intend to accept Young Master's proposal?

Young Master doesn't understand. Haven't you already read Meiti Shengong? Why can't you just share it? Young Master isn't taking your things for free."

Actually, if it were another cultivation method, Facing Facing Cang Luo might have considered selling it to the other party, but Meiti Shengong was absolutely out of the question.

It wasn't because Meiti Shengong was powerful, nor because it was a unique copy, but because of the technique's special nature and his own uniqueness.

Meiti Shengong is a method that temporarily enhances strength at the cost of damaging and consuming one's own flesh and cells. During activation, the user continuously suffers damage, equivalent to a bleeding buff.

He possesses healing abilities that can offset part of the bleeding buff, but others do not.

If others cultivated Meiti Shengong and found they couldn't achieve his results, they would surely suspect he was hiding secrets, thereby exposing the secrets of his infinite yuan power and healing abilities, and even the satellite.

Therefore, Facing Facing Cang Luo would absolutely never leak Meiti Shengong. How could he have imagined that a copy stored at Feng Lin Huo Shan would be stolen?

Fortunately, he hadn't handed over the content of the first layer; otherwise, he would have been completely exposed.

Facing Facing Cang Luo naturally wouldn't reveal the true reason to the other party, so he sneered, "What do you plan to use to buy it from me? Money? That's laughable. Earth's currency is no different from waste paper in my eyes.

Besides, I don't have the content of the first layer of Meiti Shengong. Even if I did, I wouldn't sell it to you."

Seeing that Facing Facing Cang Luo still refused to hand over Meiti Shengong, the other party stopped wasting words and bluntly threatened, "Ungrateful trash from the bottom of society. You will regret your decision today!

You are in another world, so Young Master can't do anything to you directly. But your family and relatives on Earth are different. Young Master will ensure all your investments in China end in bankruptcy.

Then, they will be thrown into prison for various reasons or die in accidents.

Haha! I'm looking forward to seeing your angry yet helpless expression..."

"You're asking for death!" Facing Facing Cang Luo roared.

Beep beep beep... The other party hung up immediately.

Enraged, Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately called back, but the prompt indicated the number was invalid.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo screamed in madness. This was the second time since his transmigration that he felt helpless; the first was that text message telling him he would surely die upon returning to Earth.

After the outburst, Facing Facing Cang Luo forced himself to calm down and think of a countermeasure.

The other party's threat was no joke. If they could make his company go bankrupt "legitimately," hiring assassins would be even simpler.

The more Facing Facing Cang Luo thought about it, the more he worried about his family's safety, and a chill ran down his back.

However, being on the Yuanwu Continent, Facing Facing Cang Luo was truly helpless. He could only call Feng Lin Huo Shan's Li Weiguo for help, but the call went through only to indicate the phone was switched off.

So Facing Facing Cang Luo called Zhu Ge Qing. After she answered, he quickly asked, "Where is Minister Li?"

Zhu Ge Qing replied coolly, "He's not here."

Facing Facing Cang Luo didn't press further. After a moment's thought, he added, "Then transfer me to Deputy Minister Zhang Baojia."

Zhu Ge Qing said nothing, but a few seconds later, Zhang Baojia's deep voice came through. He said, "This is me."

Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately said, "Minister Zhang, that unknown caller just called again to threaten me. This time he went further: first, he ruined my businesses on Earth, and now he's threatening my family..."

At this moment, Facing Facing Cang Luo was like a helpless elementary school student complaining to a teacher about being bullied by classmates; he truly felt helpless and afraid.

After listening silently to Facing Facing Cang Luo's account, Zhang Baojia said in a heavy voice, "I understand. First, don't worry about your family's safety. On the surface, they are protected by various nations; in secret, Feng Lin Huo Shan protects them twenty-four hours a day."

Facing Facing Cang Luo quickly expressed his gratitude. Zhang Baojia paused briefly before continuing, "As for the identity of the 'unknown caller,' we are still investigating. Currently, we have not obtained any clues to their true identity."

Facing Facing Cang Luo frowned slightly and asked, "Even Feng Lin Huo Shan can't figure out his identity?"

Zhang Baojia remained silent. Facing Facing Cang Luo continued, "Alright then. For now, shut down his publicly visible companies."

"I'm sorry, we don't have the authority," Zhang Baojia said calmly.

Facing Facing Cang Luo blinked in surprise. "You have no authority?"

Zhang Baojia said coolly, "The other company is legal and compliant. Your company is engaged in normal commercial competition. We have no right to interfere."

Facing Facing Cang Luo stared, disbelieving. "This is normal commercial competition? Didn't you hear the call recording? They clearly targeted my company to destroy Meiti Shengong. Isn't that illegal?"

Zhang Baojia said solemnly, "Until we apprehend the other party and confirm their direct connection to that company, we truly have no right to interfere!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo grew furious. So this loss, he was forced to swallow?

Was his company just gone? All the hundred million he'd worked so hard to build—just gone? While the other side walked free?

This is so obvious: I serve my country, they persecute me, yet they face no punishment?

Is this what you call justice?

And worse—you can't even identify them. Who believes that?

The more Facing Facing Cang Luo thought, the more injustice he felt, the more rage boiled inside him. He was certain Feng Lin Huo Shan could uncover the other party's identity.

Was it unwillingness—or fear?

At that moment, Zhang Baojia added, "Regarding the first layer of Meiti Shengong, I hope you'll hand it over to us. Feng Lin Huo Shan needs these techniques. Perhaps... we could use them to lure out the other party."

Facing Facing Cang Luo froze again, then fell silent. He didn't speak. One minute later, he hung up the call.

Now, Facing Facing Cang Luo strongly suspected Feng Lin Huo Shan wasn't unable to uncover the other party's identity—they simply refused to.

Zhang Baojia was right: perhaps Meiti Shengong could lure out the other party. But why use mine? Why not forge one yourselves?

With the restored second layer as reference, isn't forging the first layer easy?

Facing Facing Cang Luo let out a bitter laugh. "So... you Feng Lin Huo Shan want Meiti Shengong too..."

At that moment, Facing Facing Cang Luo felt again the crushing helplessness—he realized no one was willing to truly help him.

Feng Lin Huo Shan, every nation—they all wanted to extract information about Yuanwu Continent from me.

Help me? Protect my family?

Hah! House arrest. Coercion.

If I hadn't had that flash of insight—pulling all Earth nations into one group and sharing Yuanwu Continent's secrets to make them check each other—I'd be even more helpless now.

To them, I'm nothing but a tool to extract information about Yuanwu Continent.

"Since you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo took a deep breath, then made a decision—a decision that would make Feng Lin Huo Shan and every Earth nation regret it deeply.

Facing Facing Cang Luo opened his phone, tapped open an app called "Tenglong Video." Tenglong Video was an online video platform, the one with the most users in Huaxia.

A few minutes later, Facing Facing Cang Luo uploaded a video to Tenglong Video.

Then he suddenly remembered: his phone was probably monitored. The moment he uploaded, Earth would know—and delete it.

So he uploaded the video to several other websites, hoping to overwhelm them with volume—get as many netizens as possible to repost it, so they couldn't delete it all.

What Facing Facing Cang Luo didn't know was that Earth couldn't directly monitor his phone. They could only indirectly monitor by investigating traces of his phone's activity on Earth's service providers' servers after the fact.

Indirect monitoring had latency—it could only be detected after the event. So if the video didn't clearly show he was the uploader, Earth would struggle to find it.

After uploading the video, Facing Facing Cang Luo called his family and told them not to leave their home or interact with strangers during this time.

Then he put away his phone and kept walking. Now, capturing his second beast companion was the most important thing...
