    Trantor: 549690339 |


    After the official statement from Magic City regarding Jiang Xu’s vindication was released, the previously noisy inte suddenly went quiet.


    The posts that had originally smeared and spread rumors about Jiang Xu were deleted at an extremely fast pace.


    With an official rification, it was tantamount to reinstating Jiang Xu’s good name.


    The matter was now set in stone.


    It proved that Jiang Xu was upright and not afraid of casting shadows,pletely innocent.


    Moreover, his purchase of antiques that had drifted overseas and his gratuitous donation of them to the nation had boosted his prestige, raising his fame by a notch.


    Many of those who had initially joined the mob to nder Jiang Xu and even An Nuonuo were now showcasing what could only be described as a face change.


    “I always said Jiang Xu wasn’t that kind of person!”


    “You people are really too awful, ckening the name of a good person like this!”


    Brother above, do you want to delete your previousments? They’re exposing you, look!”


    “My husband is indeed innocent, and I will support you as always!”


    The direction of public opinion once again underwent aplete 180-degree turn.


    There were also those who had taken money to maliciously smear Jiang Xu, and now each of them was proactively contacting Jiang Xu, asking for his forgiveness.


    I m sorry, Mr. Jiang, we had no choice.”


    “At that time, the knife was only o.oi millimeters away from my throat.”


    “Mr. Jiang, please give us a chance to start anew.”


    Simr Weibo private messages piled up.


    Jiang Xu handed them over to a professional to deal with.


    Take those to court who should be taken to court, and arrest those who need to be arrested.


    In any case, they must be severely penalized.


    If all else failed, Jiang Xu was nning to hire Teacher Luo and Zhang Wei.


    If these two teamed up, they would truly be unstoppable, vanquishing gods and Buddhas in their path.


    Inside a luxurious vi.


    Jin Zhizhang swallowed a handful of pills, followed by a gulp of water.


    Then, with a piercing gaze, he turned to the two girls who had stayed the night and sneered, “Soon you’ll understand what true despair is!”


    Two minutester, Jin Zhizhang was breathless, lying on the bed with a self-satisfied smile: “How about that? Bet you’ve never seen anyone as formidable as me.”


    The two girls were inwardly contemptuous, but of course they showered Jin Zhizhang with fervent praise on the surface.


    Jin Zhizhang was extremely pleased with himself.


    He casually took out his phone, ready to check the direction of public opinion. “What?!”


    The sight that met him was far from minor; Jin Zhizhang was immediately shocked and pale.


    He sat up abruptly, his fingers swiftly scrolling the screen.


    After seeing the news stories pinned one after another, Jin Zhizhang felt his heart go cold.


    “Aaah!” He couldn’t help but roar to the sky, “Jiang Xu, you should die! Why didn’t you y this card earlier?”


    If he had known it would end up like this, Jin Zhizhang definitely wouldn’t have used the tactic of smearing Jiang Xu.


    He had even confidently promised Li Zairong that he couldplete the task quickly.


    For this, Li Zairong had directly allocated to him ten billion in ‘funds for smearing Jiang Xu’.


    Now, after spending more than half, not only had it been ineffective, but it had also enhanced Jiang Xu’s reputation.


    If Li Zairong found out, he would certainly kill him.


    “What to do, what to do?” Jin Zhizhang was frantically anxious.


    He knew very well what kind of person Li Zairong was.


    The words ‘ruthless and heartless’ would be apliment when applied to Li Zairong.


    Damn!” A vicious look shed in Jin Zhizhang’s eyes, “Might as well go all in!” He took out his phone and dialed his parents’ number: “Dad, Mom, take my sister and buy ne tickets immediately,e to Dragon country for a visit, right now, yes, immediately.”


    Then he called Li Zairong, his tone humble: “Chairman, everything is progressing smoothly, but I hope you can give me another eighteen billion Longguo currency.”


    “I’ll use this money to bring An Nuonuo to you,”


    Li Zairong had once talked about her in his presence, expressing a strong craving for An Nuonuo.


    Since he nned to turn traitor, he might as well go all out and get his hands on as much money as possible.


    One hundred and eighty billion Han yuan is equivalent to one billion in domestic currency.


    Upon hearing this, Li Zairong became interested.


    This amount of money was nothing to him.


    If he could get his hands on An Nuonuo, he could have his fun with her and then pass her around to the other chaebols to strengthen rtionships.


    After hanging up the phone, Jin Zhizhang thought for a moment.


    He took a nk hard drive, copied arge number of files from hisputer onto it, and then hurriedly left.


    A little over an hourter, Jin Zhizhang arrived at Jiang Xu’spany.


    Mr. Jiang, it’s good to see you. You’ve be even more handsome and impressive since west met,”


    Seeing Jiang Xu again, he acted extremely humble, not even daring to straighten his back.


    Jiang Xu sat with one leg crossed over the other and sized up Jin Zhizhang, who stood respectfully before him: “Speak, what brings you here?”


    With a smile, Jin Zhizhang said, “Mr. Jiang, your bravery is unmatched, and Li


    Zairong is just a small fry not worth your attention.


    I’m here to pledge my loyalty to you, hoping to work under you.”


    Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised but did not ept: “Not interested.”


    Someone as treacherous as this guy, no matter how talented, Jiang Xu dared not employ.


    Jin Zhizhang seemed to anticipate Jiang Xu’s refusal, his expression unchanging: “Then, I have a vast amount of Sangsang’s business secrets. Are you interested?”


    Jiang Xu’s interest was piqued: “How much do you have?”


    Jin Zhizhang held up five fingers: “5TB of content.”


    Jiang Xu took a deep breath.


    This guy was really bold.


    5TB of business secrets, and he dared to bring them out.


    And from such an international corporate giant, that’s literally courting death.


    Jiang Xu demanded to verify the authenticity of the materials Jin Zhizhang had.


    Jin Zhizhang then provided a small portion for Jiang Xu to review.


    It was indeed genuine.


    -Mr. Jiang, I’ll sell these materials to you for twenty billion Longguo currency,”


    “Heh,” Jiang Xuughed, “Ten million.”


    Jin Zhizhang couldn’t manage augh: “You must be joking.”


    Jiang Xu patted his shoulder: “Plus, I’ll protect you once when you’re being hunted.


    It’s very dangerous here; you never know when an ident might happen as you step out the door.”


    Jiang Xu spoke calmly, but Jin Zhizhang was already sweating profusely.


    Of course, Jiang Xu didn’t n to do anything illegal; he was purely intimidating the young man.


    However, Jin Zhizhang took this ce to be like the other side, the small hammer.


    The environment over there was really bad.


    Offend a chaebol, and the next day you might end up at the bottom of the sea.


    After weighing the pros and cons, Jin Zhizhang reluctantly agreed.


    As soon as he could, Jiang Xu made several copies of the contents of the hard drive and stored them in multiple locations.


    Used correctly, this could be extraordinarily powerful.


    However, now was not the right time to use it.


    Even if Li Zairong got wind of Jin Zhizhang’s defection, he wouldn’t guess he’d dare to sell out the group’s business secrets.


    The advantage of public opinion had now swung back in Jiang Xu’s favor.


    Whaty ahead was a head-on sh with the cold current.


    See who’s the boss and who’s the underling.


    Around four in the afternoon, Jiang Xu, apanied by several bodyguards, headed to Huiping Temple to see what Jiang Xiaoyan was up to.
