"So, what is your business with us here today? Ms. Tang?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. After he found out about her identity, Zhang Qin Feng lost the mood to continue.
With both hands opened as he turned, Zhang Qin Feng signaled to the group of new policemen and policewomen to come over to him. The group of 150 training police came to him quickly.
By putting their both palms on the Mother-Key, a group file of 150 recruit police is uploaded into the vehicle's database. Right now, except for Zhang Qin Feng, only the 150 people here have the approval to drive the Cobra and Tigris.
They're dumbfounded as they cast their sight on the four opened warehouse full of police vehicles. The response vehicle is now an SUV-type, and the van changed into a proper Truck-type.
"This..." they're speechless. The group of recruit police stares at each other for a while before they politely bowed at Zhang Qin Feng in gratitude.
With the vehicles of this quality, they're much more confident about patrolling the streets and protecting the citizen. When it was compared to the older version of patrol vehicles and police equipment, a drunk man or psychotic murderer could quickly wound a few policemen before they're controlled.
That's also why the southern district's police force weakened. They started to get worried about their own safety, become greedy and lax, and soon, corrupted. Added with the weak leader handling the chain of command, the police department broke.
But today, with the 100 vehicles here, they'll become the pioneers for the new Police Department, armed with the latest technology offered by a company managed by Zhang Qin Feng, an Inner Jing Level Cultivator.
The company name is Changzhou Qingfeng Investment.
Although it is a small name in the industry of weapon providers, they'll soon understand the differences.
Without any intention to further bothering them, Zhang Qin Feng allowed them to drive the police vehicles back. Of course, that's after the further asking for Wu Chang Jian and Yue Qiang's approval before doing so.
Now, only Wu Chang Jian, Yue Qiang, Yue Han, and Tang Zhao Xin left here, if the drivers for the three sedans are not added. Out of politeness, Zhang Qin Feng invites them to come inside his store as a guest, but without looking at Tang Zhao Xin.
"Hey! What about me?" Tang Zhao Xin asked. She's a little angry at Zhang Qin Feng but can't explain the reason why she felt this way. Since it takes the cultivator's proper mindset and mentality to break through the threshold into Inner Jing Level, she should be feeling indifferent towards Zhang Qin Feng.
But today, she lost miserably.
"If you want to come in, then follow. Or else, the sedan there is ready to bring you home at any time you want." Zhang Qin Feng pointed at the sedan she came with, indirectly telling her to leave.
"I'm not leaving!" she throws her tantrum but still following Zhang Qin Feng into the General Store.
Although it was a general store, the inner decor is more similar to how a lobby of a grand hotel looks. The guest was greeted with a nice round carpet on top of a Cerulean Resin Wood flooring and white decoration.
There was a charming leather sofa in the center of the guest hall enough for eight people, with a wooden table made entirely from a slice of the wood.
Unfortunately, Zhang Qin Feng has to do the remaining work. The ready hot water for tea is then used to brew a pot of Pu-Er, where everyone has a cup before them, including Tang Zhao Xin.
"Xiao Feng, no wonder you rarely go back to Changzhou. Even I will not go back if I have a place like this outside of the busy and polluted city center," Yue Han jokes. Since he's a person that used to stand in between to mediates the situation, taking the lead to start the conversation is his best trait.
"Big brother Han is too humble. I believe your mansion will not lose to mine," Zhang Qin Feng smiles after Yue Han's word. He knows what Yue Han is trying to so, and gives him further support.
"Xiao Feng, forgive this big brother first." Wu Chang Jian also called himself a big brother because he's three years older than Zhang Qin Feng.
"I don't mind. Brother Jian doesn't need to be too humble with me. But I can't help but wonder why Princess Tang made her way this far from the western district to here. Perhaps, there's some misunderstanding between our East Coast Mining Company and their policy?" Zhang Qin Feng's words sound gentle to Wu Chang Jian, but it was a sneer towards Tang Zhao Xin.
"Huh..." she sighed. Tang Zhao Xin then proceeds to remove the diamond earrings and pendant on her and place them inside the purse in her hand.
By right, for a lady with diamond accessories all over her, it is a must to pair it with a likewise purse. But instead of that, she's here with a black handbag that has no lavish decoration on it.
Even to Zhang Qin Feng's amateur fashion sense, it seems wrong.
However, it turned out to be a show from Tang Zhao Xin. As the eldest princess of the Tang Family, it is not something new for her to try and judge the ability of the person she's seeing. Behaving like an aroused slut is a mere act in her book.
With the obsessive makeup and bling removed, she's now more than presentable in front of Zhang Qin Feng and everyone else. If she's like a slut in heat before this, right now, she's a dependable and reliable secretary.
Zhang Qin Feng can't believe his eyes.
Even Luo Qing needs a layer of thin powder to look angelic. But to Tang Zhao Xin, they're pointless. When one cultivates past the Lower Stage of Inner Jing Level, their skin turned radiant, unblemished, like porcelain.
Of course, that's the basic knowledge amongst the cultivators. But to Zhang Qin Feng, who's more suitable to be categorized as a demonic cultivator, common sense like this is almost non-existent.
"I'll be honest." Tang Zhao Xin started once she's done removing that shameful appearance of hers. Although nobody will complain about the eye-candy she just fed to everyone, her current look seems more approachable.
"My visit this time is to see if you're a threat to our government." Tang Zhao Xin's words seem simple and straightforward, but there are many paths to be taken from there onwards.
"Oh!" Zhang Qin Feng chuckled. He felt surprised because without doing anything excessive, an inspection is already here to evaluate his threat level.
"So, what do you think? Am I a threat?" Zhang Qin Feng smirks as he stares intensely at Tang Zhao Xin. If Yue Qiang, Yue Han, or Wu Chang Jian are given that stare instead, they'll collapse on the spot from the ferocity.
But to an Inner Jing Level cultivator like Tang Zhao Xin, she still manages to hold on. Although, it won't take her long to collapse mentally.
"You are... But differently." it took a toll on her to finish that sentence. Luckily, it was an answer Zhang Qin Feng is looking forward to. The pressure vanished instantly with his mood now better.
"Right now, I have two missions in my hand. The first one is to inspect the reason behind Xiang Beiming's inhuman transformation. I'm sure that you know something, but the government says that we'll not bother you unless we've run into a dead-end or you voluntarily share the information with us."
"And the second mission is to determine your threat level." Tang Zhao Xin explained. The government is certainly putting a lot of confidence in her for sending her here alone to finish the mission.
"You must be joking. What kind of threat level can I have?" Zhang Qin Feng laughed. He's just a simple citizen of this country, born and raised here. Although he's in a rush to earn loads of money, he sees himself as a non-threatening individual at all.
"I'm joking? Do you think the government officials like us work in the office daily without getting under the sun? Don't look down on the central government, no matter how terrible you see us on the surface," Tang Zhao Xin pouted. She might be someone from the Tang Family, but she's not as spoilt as her brother is.
"From school to inheriting a facade shop on behalf of some shady organization, do you think the government has no idea about your weekly purchase? What did you buy recently? Let me think..."
"Crackers, Spicy Sticks, instant noodles, from the few factories? Or the fresh seafood, rice, poultry from Daily Foods Limited? It is quite a big sum, to spend close to 200 thousand dollars, on food alone."
"And do you think we have no idea about the two trucks of Ilmenite Ores sneakily sent here? Mr. Yue Qiang, should I just proceed with our report and send it up to the General Secretary's Office?"
Without a change in her tone, Tang Zhao Xin brought out multiple findings that could be damaging to their businesses. In Zhang Qin Feng's case, only restricting him from bringing that amount of fresh supply out will thoroughly destroy his link with the underground organization.
Of course, in this case, it's the reliance from Apocalypse in regards to food.
"I felt threatened," Zhang Qin Feng raised his leg and put it on the table. He might be ok right now, but he gives no guarantee that he will not be pissed after Tang Zhao Xin finished with what she's going to say.
That smack of his leg shoot the entire wooden table and overturned the teacups.
"The central government felt that even more. At least to me, I am dealing with a man that possibly slaughters everyone inside this room before going out with even more arsenals in his hand." Tang Zhao Xin's cup of tea still holds half, where she gently sips them.
"You can't blame it on me, you know? If you want to find a reason for these all, let's say that being busybody is not a good thing. Especially when the entire General Secretary Board's members are looking at your solo fight against Xiang Beiming, that's monstrous made by men out there." Tang Zhao Xin smiled.
Only now, Zhang Qin Feng noticed something.
Although Xiang Beiming's corpse already turned into a pile of waste after his death, it doesn't mean that everything else followed. Documentation, firearms connection, survivors, and CCTV could simply reveal more about how they access the country.
And with the live feed on Zhang Qin Feng's few minutes of battle, the threat is not Xiang Beiming, the possible bioweapon that exists, or the Templar's Church.
It was Zhang Qin Feng, a nobody that appeared without any notice about him! If superman is counted as a threat, then Zhang Qin Feng is one too because he fought against Xiang Beiming in a face to face battle! Weapon or not, he's the one and only remains standing after fighting with a monster.
