Chapter 459: Chapter 459: The Enemy of the Past!

Halfway through the meal, Xiao Zheng remembered the affair concerning Mr. Liu and asked Leng Ruobing, "Tell me about that Mr. Liu."

Upon hearing the name "Mr. Liu," Leng Ruobing’s facial expression changed slightly.

The fight between Xiao Zheng and this Mr. Liu at the company today had left a deep impression on her. Moreover, after the incident, she indeed found that Mr. Liu’s actions were imbued with a strange, uncanny air.

Chu Xiaoran, her mouth full of food, muttered vaguely upon hearing this, "Mr. Liu, what Mr. Liu?"

"Shoo, shoo, adults are talking, children should speak less." Xiao Zheng waved his hand dismissively.

Chu Xiaoran’s eyes widened in indignation, wanting to retort, but her mouth was so full that she couldn’t speak clearly. In her haste, her cheeks puffed as she vigorously chewed, and finally, she managed to swallow all the food.

Then she let out a breath, slumped back into her chair, showing a look of satisfaction. But it wasn’t even a second before she remembered why she had hurried to swallow her food, and she sat up abruptly, glowering at Xiao Zheng angrily,

"I’m not a child!"

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh.

She was the very picture of a huffy little girl.

"That Mr. Liu is an investor from a large overseas investment company GMT, who’s very mysterious and has only emerged in recent years. As soon as he appeared, he caused a great sensation in the United States’ financial market. His net worth is easily in the billions of dollars, making him a truly legendary figure."

Leng Ruobing began to introduce the background of Mr. Liu. Seeing that they were discussing serious matters, Chu Xiaoran did not interrupt and quietly sat aside.

"Oh?"

Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, then asked, "So why has this Mr. Liu returned home to develop his business? It seems he was doing quite well in the United States."

Leng Ruobing said with a smile, "You might not be aware of this. In recent years, the United States has been facing a financial crisis, and its economic development hasn’t been very good. Whereas our Huaxia stands out in the world, with all sectors beginning to rise at a terrifying speed.

Moreover, this is a market with over a billion people! Essentially, investors from around the world have been moving their capital into the Huaxia market in these recent times, looking to profit from the east wind of Huaxia’s rise."

"So, this Mr. Liu is one of those numerous investors who have flooded into the Huaxia market?" asked Xiao Zheng.

Leng Ruobing put some vegetables into Chu Xiaoran’s bowl and then nodded, "Yes, that’s why I didn’t suspect him. Because this is quite a normal behavior."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng fell into thought.

The purpose of Mr. Liu couldn’t possibly be as simple as making a bit of money; Xiao Zheng understood Mr. Liu’s capabilities well. Earning money would be extremely easy for him, and there was no need for such a convoluted effort.

So, what was his true intent in collaborating with Leng Ruobing? If he wanted revenge, he could have acted by now.

Xiao Zheng could only feel a multitude of questions brewing.

"Hmmph, in that case, let’s have a good game then!"

Xiao Zheng sneered inwardly.

If he couldn’t fathom Mr. Liu’s purpose now, then he would do something else, find the murderer who killed the member of the Huashan Sect’s Qinglin faction first.

After the meal, Xiao Zheng returned to his room and pondered for a long while.

Mr. Liu was different from enemies of the past, and even Xiao Zheng was extremely wary of him. A slight oversight could lead to very grave consequences.

Moreover, the current situation was very unfavorable to Xiao Zheng.

He was in the light, while Mr. Liu was in the shadows. He couldn’t find Mr. Liu’s lair, yet Mr. Liu could attack him at any time.

"We must take the initiative,"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with a sharp expression.

"However, given the current conditions, trying to find those two experts is no easy task," he said, and a frown soon creased his brow.

It wasn’t that Sky Net’s power wasn’t strong, but its stronghold was in North Africa, not in Huaxia; therefore, Sky Net’s influence was relatively weaker in Huaxia.

"If that’s the case, then we should seek help from Futu,"

Xiao Zheng decided.

The next day, he skipped work and went straight to the headquarters of Futu to request a meeting with Zhu Chanji.

When Zhu Chanji heard that Xiao Zheng had come to visit in person, he was startled. Normally, the lord Evil God was very aloof and hardly paid any attention to Futu. Why had he suddenly come today?

Zhu Chanji couldn’t help but think of the rumors that had been circulating in Jianghu these past few days about how Xiao Zheng had killed two sect leaders and was targeted by numerous disciples and righteous martial artists, finding himself in a difficult situation.

"But... with the Evil God’s means, such a trivial difficulty surely wouldn’t be a problem, he couldn’t have come to me for this reason,"

Zhu Chanji immediately shook his head, dismissing the thought.

Without delay, Zhu Chanji went to the reception hall. Seeing Xiao Zheng sitting there, Zhu Chanji laughed heartily, "Mr. Xiao, what brings you to me today?"

Xiao Zheng replied with a slight smile, getting straight to the point, "I need your help with something."

Zhu Chanji’s expression turned serious.

This was a request coming directly from the Evil God himself; it represented a huge favor. For Futu to have a favor from the Evil God was indeed very fortunate.

"Mr. Xiao, rest assured, as long as the thing you ask for isn’t too outrageous, we will support you with all our might,"

Zhu Chanji said immediately.

"Prompt."

Xiao Zheng praised.

"You’ve probably heard about the recent events. Someone framed me, killing the sect leaders of the Huashan Sect and the Qinglin Sect. I’m here to ask for your cooperation to find the murderer behind the scenes. Sky Net, after all, is somewhat less influential here in Huaxia compared to your national institutions,"

Xiao Zheng said with a light smile.

"I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but isn’t this something that Sky Net should be able to handle on its own?" Zhu Chanji raised his eyebrows slightly in concern.

Zhu Chanji wasn’t an ordinary figure; he keenly sensed that there was more to the situation from Xiao Zheng’s words and behavior.

Xiao Zheng laughed, "Of course, Sky Net can solve it, but it’s just too slow; I need time."

Zhu Chanji’s pupils shrank slightly, "Have you encountered a fearsome enemy?", he asked.

At that, Xiao Zheng gave Zhu Chanji a longer look and couldn’t help laughing, "It seems Old Zhu, you’re not senile yet, to deduce the most accurate answer in an instant."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chanji smiled and said, "Young man, do you think I’ve grown old? To be honest, I’m curious now. Who exactly is it that has made the Evil God so formal?"

"It’s an old enemy from the past,"

Xiao Zheng sighed lightly but chose not to elaborate. He wasn’t ready to disclose his feud with Mr. Liu just yet.
