Chapter 47: True Qi Weapons

~8 min read 1,538 words

Datou clapped his hands and returned to stand behind Shen Qi as if nothing had happened.

Chen Che nodded in satisfaction and spoke, "Does everyone recognize the situation now?"

The shareholders were on pins and needles; a living person had just died right before their eyes, and this person was their colleague, a friend they had known for many years.

The shareholders felt as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss, looking at Chen Che as if he were an unpredictable wild beast.

While he smiled at you, he also bared his fangs; who knew when he might get the whim to swallow you whole!

"I am willing to support Fu Lang as chairman."

A shareholder raised his hand and spoke tremblingly.

"I am willing too!"

"I am also willing to support Fu Lang!"

………

The shareholders raised their hands one after another to express their stance; except for Xu Songbai, everyone agreed.

They could guess the fate of their own people once Fu Lang took office, but at the very least, they would not lose their lives.

In any case, being a fence-sitter was nothing new; as long as they could save their lives, they didn't care about a little reputation!

"Very good. Since that's the case, let's hold the dismissal meeting and the new chairman's inauguration meeting together. Now, let us applaud to welcome Fu Lang as the group's new chairman!"

Chen Che clapped and smiled.

The shareholders also forced smiles and applauded.

"Chairman Fu, congratulations!"

"Old Fu, welcome back. From now on, we'll be counting on you!"

"This chairman's position should have been yours long ago. Everyone knows your capabilities all too well. We believe that under your leadership, Jinhai Group will grow even bigger and stronger!"

The shareholders fawned and smiled, starting to cozy up to him to gain favor.

Xu Songbai's face turned livid. Looking at the ignored Yan Fuguang, he questioned him word by word: "Chen Che, Old Yan watched you grow up. How could you actually do this?!"

Chen Che snorted in disdain: "When he helped Yang Wanqing deal with me back then, he didn't care about anyone's feelings."

"I should have guessed it long ago—you are a wolf!" Xu Songbai regretted having felt a moment of compassion back then and not participating in what Yang Wanqing did to Chen Che.

Fu Lang said coldly: "It is you and your son who have the hearts of wolves! Back then, you leaked Chen Xin's whereabouts, and now you are indulging your son in plotting against me.

Although we were at odds before, it was only a professional disagreement. I never expected you to hate me so much, even going so far as to harm my family!"

"Fu Lang, you've won now, so of course you can say whatever you want, but I have no regrets. The only thing I regret is not killing you directly back then!"

Xu Songbai glared at Fu Lang, the two of them at daggers drawn.

Chen Che said slowly: "Since we've reached this point, and the company matters are settled, let's talk about personal grievances."

Chen Che looked at Xu Songbai and asked: "Why did you leak my father's whereabouts back then, and who was the person who came to you to inquire for information?"

Xu Songbai propped his feet on the table, leaning back in his chair with an arrogant air: "Want to know? Beg me!"

"Chen Che, do you think that by controlling the shareholders, Jinhai Group is already in your grasp? Hmph!"

Xu Songbai let out a cold laugh, his face full of arrogance and madness: "You don't really think I haven't prepared anything, do you? Come in!"

Xu Songbai suddenly roared!

Tap, tap, tap...

Dense, rapid footsteps rang out, and the floor of the Meeting Room transmitted a slight vibration.

Creak!

The door of the Meeting Room was pushed open again, and twenty or thirty Bodyguards in black rushed in with guns, surrounding the conference table.

Xu Baifeng sat in a wheelchair, being pushed in by a Bodyguard in black.

"Chen Che, I want you dead!"

Xu Baifeng's face was twisted and ferocious; the moment he saw Chen Che, he roared out loud.

Click!

Xu Songbai stood up, simultaneously pulling a pistol from his waistband, racking the slide, and pressing it against the head of Fu Lang, who was closest to him.

Seeing this, the shareholders were all terrified, covering their heads and diving under the table to hide.

Datou and Shen Qi immediately shielded Chen Che. Datou shouted: "It's a True Qi Weapon, Master, be careful!"

"Xu Songbai, you madman! You actually raised so many True Qi Weapons!"

Facing the muzzle, Fu Lang's expression shifted, and he rebuked him angrily.

"Hahaha..."

Xu Songbai laughed maniacally: "I had no choice. I couldn't afford to raise Martial Artists, so I had to raise True Qi guns. But in terms of quantity, it's more than enough to deal with you!"

Nowadays, the Martial Dao is flourishing, and more and more people are practicing.

Traditional weapons, whether cold weapons or firearms, have also undergone corresponding changes.

Because of the existence of True Qi, when a Martial Artist faces firearms, the control capability of guns over Martial Artists is becoming increasingly poor.

Due to the existence of True Qi, even when facing firearms, Martial Artists can dodge them, and high-level Martial Artists can even catch bullets with their bare hands.

Even if they hit the body, the damage is significantly reduced; injuries that would be fatal to ordinary people appear insignificant on a Martial Artist.

As a result, to restrict Martial Artists with weapons, one must use more powerful weapons, and the cost has increased accordingly.

Therefore, against this background, True Qi Weapons emerged.

True Qi Weapons are based on original weapons, utilizing special means to imbue them with True Qi.

The power of a True Qi Weapon is not just one or two times stronger than a traditional weapon, and after mass production, the cost is also quite reasonable.

And the establishment of the Inspection Bureau also officially signified the mass production of True Qi Weapons.

At the same time, due to the Inspection Bureau's powerful control capabilities, apart from some famous clans and families, it is not easy to get hold of True Qi Weapons.

And by comparison, the most cost-effective weapons and shields are, in fact, people!

When a Martial Artist faces off against ten ordinary people wielding True Qi Weapons, the outcome is beyond doubt.

Therefore, since many big shots can afford to support large numbers of Martial Artists, there is no need to waste vast financial resources on maintaining guns.

Shen Qi scanned the men in black who had entered, counting them; there were exactly thirty.

The black-clad Bodyguards were all ordinary people, and Datou could handle them alone.

But the headache was that they were all holding different types of guns in their hands, such as assault rifles and submachine guns.

Shen Qi looked at Datou and asked, "Can you handle it?"

Datou gave a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, "If it were just people, it would be fine, but once hit by a True Qi Weapon, the circulation of True Qi in my body would be obstructed, and my combat effectiveness would drop significantly, perhaps even becoming no different from an ordinary person."

Shen Qi's expression was grave; he reasoned that since Datou feared True Qi Weapons, Chen Che must certainly fear them as well.

Although Chen Che's realm was much higher than Datou's, there were too many opponents; even if Chen Che and Datou joined forces to take out twenty-nine, once one of them landed a hit...

Then it would be all over!

Shen Qi turned to look at Chen Che, only to find Chen Che's expression gloomy as he stared coldly at Xu Songbai.

Xu Songbai grabbed Fu Lang's hair with one hand, pressed him onto the table, and held a gun to his temple with the other.

He tilted his head to look at Chen Che, his face full of smugness and provocation.

"Xu Songbai, it seems you really don't want to live anymore," Chen Che said coldly.

Xu Songbai sneered, "Chen Che, don't you see the situation clearly? You still dare to talk to me like that now; believe it or not, I'll blow his brains out with one shot!"

"Little Che, leave quickly, don't worry about me!"

Fu Lang had heard Datou mention True Qi Weapons earlier; he had seen them online and knew they were lethal weapons capable of killing even Martial Artists.

"There are too many of them, and they all have True Qi Weapons; we have no chance of winning! But you can definitely escape from here on your own, don't worry about me, leave quickly!"

"Leave? None of you are going anywhere?!"

Xu Baifeng hated Chen Che so much he was gnashing his teeth; he had long been impatient to turn Chen Che into a honeycomb!

"Fire! Give it to me with everything you've got!!!"

Xu Baifeng's face was ferocious; at his command, all the men in black aimed their guns at Chen Che and the others, pulled the triggers, and the muzzles roared with sparks!
