I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 485: [374] God Walks Behind the Scenes

The further one progresses in cultivation, the more one realizes its difficulty.

Almost every bit of improvement is built upon pushing past one’s limits.

It was during Pei Jinye’s cultivation process

that someone from the city hall contacted his parents, informing the elderly couple about Pei Jinye’s disappearance, suspecting his death.

Mother Pei’s disbelief and Father Pei’s feigned composure left Brother Bi He and Zhou Ye scrambling.

The person from the city hall was scolded ruthlessly by Brother Bi He and Zhou Ye—who said the Investigation Team’s affairs were their business, not for the city hall to meddle in.

The news of Pei Jinye’s mother going to the hospital for a check-up soon reached Governor Zhou Weiren.

He became visibly sharper when he heard that someone had taken it upon themselves to disclose such information.

“Whose idea was it?”

“It was from the business sector,” Secretary Lin spoke softly, “I’ve already looked into it covertly. Previously, because the Pei family’s business did not pay respects…”

Zhou Weiren let out a cold laugh upon hearing this, “Pay respects, why haven’t they paid their respects to me then?”

Secretary Lin chuckled lightly at the side, “Who doesn’t know that Governor, you are incorruptible and hate evil as if it were an enemy? Given your disposition, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to send anything here.”

“Investigate him, what is he trying so hard to do? Everything must be done according to the rules,” Governor Zhou Weiren said decisively.

Although he also lamented Pei Jinye’s situation,

he was not overly sentimental.

“The Jiang family has been sending people to Nan Du City these past few days,” Secretary Lin said quietly.

“Nan Du City?” Zhou Weiren looked up, then raised an eyebrow, “The Wu family from Nan Du City?”

“Yes, it’s said the Wu family’s old mistress had a stroke from the shock of her son’s death, and after being resuscitated all night, her life was saved, although she has not woken up yet. The Jiang family sent people to Nan Du City overnight, and in the past couple of days, they have taken over most of the Wu family’s upstream and downstream businesses,” said Secretary Lin respectfully.

Zhou Weiren did not seem surprised, “Normal business competition, we need not interfere.”

Secretary Lin understood the rationale.

The expansion of the Jiang family’s business empire meant more taxes for Da Peng City, so there was certainly no reason to repress them.

Before long, following Governor Zhou Weiren’s orders, Secretary Lin respectfully said “Yes,” and exited the room.

Governor Zhou Weiren took off his glasses and vigorously rubbed his face.

Then, putting his glasses back on, he buried himself in processing the documents on his desk once more.

In the hospital.

After Brother Bi and Zhou Ye left.

Father Pei looked towards Mother Pei and secretly gave her a thumbs-up.

Mother Pei was somewhat embarrassed, “The act was too convincing, pity for Little Zhou and the others.”

“There’s no other way. We’ll wait until Jinye settles down,” Father Pei sighed softly.

To the outside world, maintaining ignorance about Pei Jinye’s situation was the Pei family’s consensus.

The afterglow of the sunset faded away.

The evening breeze arrived quietly.

Zhong Xuan stood beside Pei Jinye with great respect. Also present today was Lin Xinorth.

“You may leave.”

“Yes, master.”

Zhong Xuan exited the room respectfully.

Pei Jinye looked towards Lin Xinorth, who had lost his extraordinary abilities of persuasive eloquence. Since arriving in Da Peng City, he seemed to have become even more introspective.

“Are you getting used to life here?” Pei Jinye asked, his gaze tranquil and imposing, inadvertently exerting immense pressure.

“It’s much better than where I lived before, Elder Jiang has taken a lot of trouble,” Lin Xinorth said, not yet knowing that the man standing before him was the same Pei Jinye that he deeply respected.

Pei Jinye did not correct him, but went on to assign Lin Xinorth several tasks.

“I will feign a coma,” Pei Jinye announced.

Pei Jinye stood up and gave Lin Xinorth another session of hypnosis, decisively modifying and sealing his memories. He didn’t want his identity to be compromised by the other party. Unless it was a high-ranking psychic of the Psychic Class, it would be impossible for outsiders to break through.

Of course…

Pei Jinye wasn’t worried about high-ranking Transcendents attacking the Jiang family.

If it ever came to that,

he estimated that the identity of Jiang Qingcang could also be discarded.

Lin Xinorth opened his eyes to confusion, his head foggy as if he had just nodded off. He apologized, “I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Elder Jiang.”

Pei Jinye waved his hand dismissively, “Focus on your work. The stage I can offer you is bigger than you can imagine, provided you show me enough value.”

“Yes,” Lin Xinorth felt a chill in his heart.

He withdrew respectfully.

With no inkling of jest.

After he exited the room,

he looked up to see Zhong Xuan waiting at the bottom of the stairs. Zhong Xuan was looking at him too, and they politely nodded at each other in greeting without saying much.

Before long,

Zhong Xuan appeared beside Pei Jinye and bowed slightly, “The Chairman called. At least 60% of the Wu family’s channels have been taken over. Additionally, Director Wu Changhe Wu hopes to speak with you.”

“Wu Changhe?” Pei Jinye’s eyebrows raised slightly. Through Wu Changrui’s memories, he certainly knew who Wu Changhe was. However, the other party’s reason for seeking him out at this time seemed impure.

Zhong Xuan mistook Pei Jinye’s reaction for ignorance and hurriedly reminded him, “The Deputy Director of the Finance Department, also father to Wu ZiCheng. Wu ZiCheng was the one who married into the Jiang Family Second House…”

“Connect.”

It wasn’t long before…

Pei Jinye connected with Wu Changhe on the phone.

“Apologies for the disturbance, Elder Jiang,” Wu Changhe’s attitude was very humble.

He did not display any arrogance, despite being the Deputy Director of the Central Continent Headquarters’ Finance Department.

Firstly, Jiang Qingcang was already an Extraordinary Fourth Rank; his next step might be to break through the barrier and become an Extraordinary Fifth Rank powerhouse.

And he, merely an Extraordinary Third Rank, should be humble.

Secondly, it was clear who was stronger between the Jiang and Wu families at the moment.

He needed a favor from the Jiang family.

The call lasted for ten minutes.

Apart from Pei Jinye and Wu Changhe, even Zhong Xuan was unaware of what was discussed during those ten minutes.

But from that day forward…

The Wu family’s channels, which had been holding back, saw many joining the Jiang family.

Watching the Wu family on the verge of collapse,

such a great business was swallowed by the Jiang family, astonishing the elite not only in Nan Du City but also in Da Peng City with the Jiang’s decisiveness and dominance.

At the same time as the Jiang family was absorbing the Wu family’s assets, rumors quickly spread that the Wu family’s second son, Wu Changhe, appeared to have gained the support of a major financial tycoon and was expected to rise to a more powerful position.

Others said Wu Changhe had traded the Wu family for the support of the Jiangs.

Various rumors, both true and false, flew everywhere.

Inside the general manager’s office of the Black Rock Association.

Cai Weiqian sucked in breath after breath as he looked at the information on the news report.

Old Wei stood beside him, leaning over the large desk, confusedly rubbing his shiny bald head: “Boss, what does the fall of the Wu family have to do with us?”

“Idiot,” Cai Weiqian pointed at a piece of calligraphy on the wall: “Do you know what that is?”

Old Wei turned his head, looking blankly: “Cultivate in silence to unleash a swift success?”

“Stupid, I’m asking who wrote this piece,” Cai Weiqian said irritably: “This is the handwriting of the Jiang family old man, get it?”

“I don’t get it…”

“…”

Cai Weiqian grabbed a wooden mallet next to him and was about to smack it down, but Old Wei ducked and covered his head with practiced skill.

Still, Cai Weiqian didn’t really strike.

He just said irritably, “Who on the streets doesn’t know we’re the Jiang family’s people? Now that the Wu family’s gone, do you know who’s taken their place? The Jiang family! So, our good times are coming!”

While he was talking…

Cai Weiqian received a phone call.

The Jiang family indeed had arranged work for him.

Cai Weiqian hung up the phone, excitedly giving Old Wei a huge hug, but upon realizing he couldn’t move him, he pushed him away in distaste.

That made Old Wei quite embarrassed.

Cai Weiqian didn’t have time to bother with him. He kept muttering “We’re going to be rich, we’re going to be rich.”

And today…

An official from the Bureau of Commerce and Industry was stripped of his status.

It wasn’t long before he disappeared.

Some said he had fled, while others said his enemies had taken his life.

But who cared?

As night fell…

Pei Jinye sat cross-legged within the back mountain of Jiang’s family.

Feng Jiao kneeled on one knee.

Something in the box in front of her seemed to be struggling.

Not much later…

Feng Jiao stood up with the Cold Jade and left.

The box left behind on the steps silently vanished.

The night deepened.

All was quiet on the back mountain.
