Chapter 291 Chapter 274 - Returning to Huaxia (Fourth update! Added for 'Half awake, half drunk0' Guardian!)

If a person from Huaxia were present, they would undoubtedly recognize this middle-aged man as the Number Three Leader of Huaxia, a figure that appeared on television every day.

Not all high-ranking members of Huaxia were corrupt but the prevailing conditions had already deeply taken root, and some individuals were powerless to effect change.

"Leader, you shouldn't be so angry. The Qingyun Company was secretly hiding so many firearms, they might not be the good guys either..." a secretary attempted to console.

"Qingyun Company's technological capability is obviously strong. Even if they produced some weapons, it's normal. Everyone knows there is a pack of wolves at home. For such a big operation, it's normal to produce some weapons for self-defense!" Perhaps the Number Three Leader had long harbored deep resentment against those powerful clans. At the secretary's words, he sneered coldly and remarked.

"The very fact that Qingyun Company, unlike those businesses under the big families, doesn't resort to various methods to evade taxes, proves that they are upright — both the company and the people behind it are upright!" The Number Three Leader declared after a pause.

"In less than a month, they've constructed such a large operation and paid tens of billions in taxes to the state. Which domestic enterprise could possibly achieve this? If every enterprise was like the Qingyun Company, would Huaxia not develop?

It's because of the many parasites and tumors that Huaxia's development has been sluggish in recent years!" The Number Three Leader gave a cold snort and asserted.

"Leader, haven't some of our high-ranking members analyzed this? Qingyun Company isn't avoiding taxes possibly because they didn't want to attract our official attention and consequent targeting. Moreover, those numerous firearms they were hiding might be from other countries. They might have ulterior motives in Huaxia..." continued the secretary.

"Can you actually believe those superficial arguments?"

"Do you understand the significance of some of the products from the Qingyun Company?"

"Are you aware that those products can create a business empire anywhere?"

"If they didn't want to attract our official attention and consequent targeting, if they wanted to hatch plots in Huaxia, would they need to bring out these nearly revolutionary products? Would they even be unduly haughty to those powerful clans?"

The Number Three Leader, deserving of his position, possessed an extraordinarily high IQ. Listening to the secretary's words, he, once again, sneered coldly and retorted.

"Secretary Wang, I know you want to calm me down, but stop using such arguments. I don't want to see the Qingyun Company fall into a bad reputation after being targeted. Rest assured, I understand the stakes and won't act impulsively. I want to do more for the people, which is why I need this position." Afterwards, the Number Three Leader took a deep breath.

His mood had already calmed down as he announced tranquilly.

...

The day slipped by swiftly.

As Lin Yun had anticipated, the number of Spirit Crystals on his Cosmic Trading System had reached two thousand two hundred.

"We can set off now."

Lin Yun slightly raised his head as a hover car materialized in front of him.

The next moment, Lin Yun stepped onto it, followed closely by Lin Yi.

Instead of heading directly for Huaxia, Lin Yun first visited Zhao Gang to check if there had been any developments, to converse with everyone, leave behind some building materials, and some defense equipment.

As for the factories, the situation was the same.

Regarding the production lines... he had issued commands long ago, which had already turned all of them into junk machines. Anyone trying to conduct research on them would simply be on a wild goose chase.

Shen City was located in the main base of the Mie Family.

Lin Yun didn't head directly to the Mie Family but instead proceeded to a warehouse cluster near a port.

He knew that the Mie Family's warehouses were situated there.

Inside them, there were many materials, including some rare ones.

At present, he had directly confronted the Lu and Mie Families, even high-ranking Huaxia officials. For the short term, he didn't plan to develop further in Huaxia, so he had no more reservations.

The hover car was swift, and in a couple of minutes, Lin Yun arrived at the warehouse cluster.

"Who's there?"

A guard noticed some movement and immediately called out.

"Buzz—"

Before the guard could inquire further, Lin Yun's mental strength enveloped him.

This guard was but an average person.

Lin Yun's mental strength, strictly speaking, could hypnotize even dark strength martial artists, of course, that was only if they didn't resist or didn't have time to resist.

Now, dealing with a normal person was as simple as it could get.

The next moment, the guard walked to a nearby table, leaned his head and fell asleep.

"What's wrong?"

Another guard approached.

"Buzz—"

Lin Yun moved forward ever so slowly, acting in the same manner, hypnotizing these guards one after the other.

These guards weren't the Mie Family's private guards but those responsible for this entire warehouse cluster. This location included warehouses belonging to many different powers, which is why Lin Yun didn't harm these people.

Lin Yi and Lin Er walked alongside Lin Yun. The three men strolled through the warehouse as if they were walking in a leisurely garden.
