What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?

Outside the office building of Wanxing Group.

Warning light screens formed by divine power were floating inside and outside the building, not only sealing off all entrances and exits, but also enveloping the entire building.

Inside the security department, all members, including the security chief, were gathered in the hall, guarded by two armed members of the patrol team.

Although there were hundreds of security personnel belonging to Wanxing Group on site, none of them dared to act presumptuously in front of the two armed personnel.

The two armed members of the patrol team were also very confident that they could handle hundreds of people with just the two of them and their two military-grade flying swords.

But at this moment, the group of company employees suddenly began to stir.

An armed man shouted: "What are you doing? Don't move!"

"Don't move! I'll release the flying swords if you move again..."

At this moment, an employee pointed to the countdown timer above his head and said, "Officer! We'll be deducted pay for being away from our jobs for too long!"

Another person shouted, "If this keeps getting deducted, I'll have to borrow money to go to work again!"

Someone else asked the person next to him, "If I get stabbed by a flying sword, will there be money to compensate me?"

Others also started to stir, all clamoring to return to their work positions.

At this moment, the security chief raised his hands, appeasing everyone, "Everyone, don't worry, the company understands everyone. During the investigation period, it will all be counted as off-duty time, not counted in working hours, and there will be no performance appraisal. Everyone can make up for the vacant working hours by working overtime in the future."

Hearing that the investigation would be conducted during off-duty hours, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Jincheng was also standing in the crowd at this moment. He glanced at the strips of divine power notices floating in the air outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, flashing with warning lights.

Yue Jincheng was shocked in his heart, "What on earth happened? They even surrounded the entire office building?"

"Could it be that a company leader evaded taxes?"

"Is our company going to be finished?"

In his opinion, only a major event like tax evasion would alarm the gods to seal off the entire building.

And at the thought that the company might be finished just like that, leading to his unemployment, a wave of worry surged in Yue Jincheng's heart.

Then Yue Jincheng heard the voices in front of him. He turned his head and saw the security chief, who had kicked him not long ago, constantly nodding and bowing to an armed man.

He only heard the security chief say politely, "Officer, our Wanxing Group has always had a good relationship with the Songyang City Patrol Brigade. We have been a copyright enforcement partner for the past few years."

"I wonder what exactly is being investigated this time? Is there anything we can help with?"

The other party just glanced at him coldly and did not answer.

However, another armed man next to him said, "Don't inquire blindly. Even we don't know what this operation is about. You have even less authority to know."

The armed man who had been silent just now frowned, "Don't say unnecessary things."

Then he turned to look at the security chief and said coldly, "Go back and stand properly. Someone will come to investigate your situation later."

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of them, the security chief could only return to the crowd with a trace of unease on his face.

He worried in his heart, "Could it be that the company secretly pirated other companies' cultivation methods? Or did the company smuggle from other cities?"

Looking at the big scene in front of him, the security chief only felt that something must have gone wrong.

He could only comfort himself, "Anyway, it definitely has nothing to do with us lower-level people. It must be some big leader above who is courting death in order to increase profits."

A moment later, with the fall of divine light, Huang Zichou's projection had already appeared in front of everyone.

His gaze swept over everyone present, and countless related data were already floating back and forth in his sea of consciousness through the network.

Seeing the arrival of this ninth-grade meritorious officer, everyone present looked awe-stricken and saluted in unison, worshiping the god on the spot.

Yue Jincheng was secretly shocked in his heart, "A true god actually came to investigate in person? Could it really be a tax evasion case? But what could this have to do with our security department?"

At the same time, Huang Zichou had already locked his gaze on Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu, and said, "You two come with me. I have something to ask you."

Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu looked at each other, a trace of astonishment flashing in their eyes.

The two followed Huang Zichou's projection into the office next door, quickly thinking about what things they had done recently that were worth investigating by a true god.

"Besides tracking Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, Si Zhouyu and I haven't done anything else these days, right?"

Yue Jincheng thought to himself, "Could it be that they are looking for us because of Zhang Yu's matter?"

"How could their little matter cause such a big commotion?"

Looking at the warning light screens outside the window that sealed off the entire building, Yue Jincheng shook his head, denying this idea.

Si Zhouyu, who was on the side, also had similar thoughts in his heart, wondering if he had accidentally stumbled into some major event.

However, Huang Zichou's next words shattered the two people's illusions.

Huang Zichou: "How long have you two been monitoring Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen?"

Yue Jincheng was slightly stunned and said slowly, "I don't understand what you mean."

Huang Zichou smiled coldly, flicked his finger, and a light screen appeared next to him. It was the surveillance footage of Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu taking the subway in different images and appearances, entering the protected area, and visiting the breeding base.

He only heard Huang Zichou say faintly, "Although you constantly changed your figures and appearances along the way, your payment records can't deceive people."

"Don't even think about denying it, and don't think that Wanxing Group can protect you."

Strands of divine power swept over like waves, pressing the two of them tightly against the wall with Huang Zichou's words.

Huang Zichou then threatened, "This matter has caused a great deal of trouble and has already attracted the attention of a sixth-grade upper god. If it goes wrong, the entire Wanxing Group will go bankrupt..."

Yue Jincheng and Si Zhouyu were both shocked when they heard this, but they couldn't figure out, "How could these two poor student ghosts, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, attract the intervention of a sixth-grade god?"

Huang Zichou waited for a long time, seeing that the two of them didn't even mean to take out talismans, he thought to himself, "Alas, they don't even know how to use good impression talismans. What kind of people are these companies recruiting now?"

As the true god's blockade and investigation of Wanxing Group unfolded, the entire group's operation suddenly came to a standstill, causing huge losses every minute and every second.

Many shareholders, leaders, and directors began to use their connections to inquire about the news, wanting to know what exactly had happened and what the gods wanted to investigate.

But the more they inquired, the more surprised they felt.

Because they found that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find out the reason for the gods' actions this time.

They couldn't even get any news even if they inquired with other divine staff, or even true gods.

The level of confidentiality was far beyond their expectations.

But they were not without any gains.

Judging from the information collected by the gods and the personnel being interrogated...

"Zhang Yu? Bai Zhenzhen? Who are these two people? Why are the gods constantly investigating matters related to them?"

"Did this big commotion have something to do with these two people?"

...

As the investigation of Wanxing Group continued, large and small forces in Songyang City gradually received the news.

Yun Ni, as one of the many patrol team leaders in Songyang City, naturally learned about some of the information.

"Is it because of the Foundation Establishment Examination?"

Yun Ni had already speculated about the timing of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's departure from the city several times, so she thought to herself when she heard about Wanxing Group's situation:

"But no matter how bold the Zhou family is, they shouldn't dare to interfere in the Foundation Establishment Examination."

"This time, I'm afraid that the sixth-grade true god is seizing the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from Wanxing Group and the Zhou family."

"Then what is the identity of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen in this?"

"Even if there is the excuse of the Foundation Establishment Examination, a conflict can actually attract a sixth-grade true god. Could it be that the two of them, like Zhang Pianpian, have a great god behind them?"

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu, and Bai Zhenzhen became more and more unfathomable in Yun Ni's mind.

At the same time, Yun Ni had already guessed the impact of this incident on Songyang City next.

"During this investigation, the gods will inevitably investigate the matter of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen this time, and inevitably support these two candidates for the Foundation Establishment Examination."

"For those who don't know the relevant information about the Foundation Establishment Examination, in their eyes... that is, a sixth-grade true god is taking action to support Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, and bleed Wanxing Group and the Zhou family."

"And for those who know the relevant information about the Foundation Establishment Examination, as long as they are interested in investigating, they will soon guess the possibility that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen participated in the Foundation Establishment Examination, but at this juncture, they will definitely close their mouths and not reveal any information."

"Even if an insider is asked, at most they will say that Zhang Yu has the support of a true god and has a great background, right? Only by doing so can the student information of the Foundation Establishment Examination be prevented from being leaked."

Yun Ni thought of the Zhou family again, "Then what will they do?"

"They must try their best to prove that they have no intention of investigating the Foundation Establishment Examination."

"This time they were caught with a handle... then they have to define this attack on Zhang Yu as an ordinary public security incident."

Thinking of this, Yun Ni smiled slightly and said, "The key to the matter is, on the one hand, to feed the gods who came this time, and on the other hand, to see how Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen cooperate with them and how much they ask for. The Zhou family is probably already operating on both sides at the same time."

...

Inside Songyang High School.

Zhou Chechen was sitting in the quiet room to practice, slowly breathing in spiritual energy and refining mana.

But he couldn't help but think of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

"As soon as the company took action, it sent these two directly to the bureau."

"Alas, individuals are so small in front of the company..."

Just as he was sighing in his heart, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Zhou Chechen, who was practicing, originally didn't want to answer the phone, but as the phone continued to vibrate, he picked up the phone.

Looking at the content on the caller ID, Zhou Chechen was shocked in his heart, "Father?"

As one of his father's many sons, Zhou Chechen rarely received news from him, even though his grades were already good.

But looking at the message sent by the other party at this moment, Zhou Chechen only felt like one bomb after another exploded in his face, shocking him.

"Wanxing Group was blocked by the gods?"

"The family was also investigated by the divine department?"

"A sixth-grade true god?!"

"Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen's backer?!"

Seeing his father's last reminder, Zhou Chechen still felt a little unbelievable, "The backer behind Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen is actually a sixth-grade true god?"

"No wonder, no wonder these two can rise so quickly, no wonder they always look fearless."

"I'm afraid it's not just Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, this sixth-grade true god may also be the existence behind Zhang Pianpian."

At this moment, Zhou Chechen only felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart, and then he became worried, worried about what the outcome would be for him to be involved in this struggle.

At this moment, Zhou Hao, who had been in charge of security work recently, came to Zhou Chechen and looked at him and said, "Some things are not convenient to say on the phone, so your father asked me to convey them to you."

He only heard Zhou Hao say, "He knows that this matter was led by your uncle and has nothing to do with you."

"But after all, this time he was caught with a handle... there are still some things you need to do..."
