"I understand!" The Cen family's elder thought to himself, What kind of price is there? Isn't it free? Besides, of course, it must be kept a secret. If the Cen family gave away their assets without asking for a dime, others would laugh at them!
Immediately, the entourage of the Cen family began to draft documents, preparing to hand over all of the Cen family's assets in Songning to the Xiao family. Meanwhile, Cen Jiajin and Cen Wuming were dejected at the moment. They couldn't say a word and just sat there …
Sometimes, things were so dramatic that they changed back and forth. In the end, they might even feel sad if they rejoiced for nothing.
After the agreement was written, the Cen family's elder left the Xiao family's company with a group of people dejectedly. Downstairs, they saw the media that the Cen family had found themselves looking for and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
"Mr. Cen, may I ask if you have completed the acquisition?" one of the media asked.
"Oh, about this question, let me briefly explain. In fact, the whole acquisition process was led by the Xiao family. From now on, all of the Cen family's assets in Songning belong to the Xiao family!" Cen Jiajin adjusted his expression and then said. Although it seemed a little insincere, he still said it calmly, "That's all I can say. Alright, everyone, we have to leave!"
After that, the Cen family's people got into the business car together. However, there were still a lot of media behind them asking, "Mr. Cen, why did you always say that you wanted to acquire the Xiao family's assets? It seems to be different from the current situation!"
"Ahem, these things, wait for the Xiao family's press conference. As for the details, it's a trade secret. I have said all I can!" After Cen Jiajin finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal his assistant to drive.
These media were very regretful that they didn't get any useful information from him. Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Zhang of the Xiao family's company came out and said that there was an important press conference. He invited all the media friends to the conference room and wait for the company's unified announcement!
This time, the media was very happy and entered the Xiao family's company one after another …
The Cen Family's matter came and went quickly. Xiao Chen didn't expect it to be settled so quickly.
The Lou Family also got the news immediately. When he heard that the Cen Family had sold all their properties to the Xiao Family, he knew that Xiao Chen had helped in the middle. Lou Zhenming was grateful and quickly called Xiao Chen to thank him.
However, Xiao Chen just comforted him and told the Lou Family to walk on the right path as much as possible in the future and not do any bad business.
As for the Zheng family, when Zheng Xiaokun saw this news, he was also a little surprised. However, the Zheng family was also a beneficiary because the Cen family didn't only buy stores and hotels, they also bought some other businesses.
And because these businesses could not be managed, they could only be sold to the Zheng family at a cheap price. The main thing was that the Zheng family did not have much money. Even if they wanted to extort a high price, they did not know where to start. Afraid that a long delay would bring trouble, he decided to deal with it cheaply.
Then, he went back overnight and left Songning.
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, returned to his previous days of cultivation. He still needed to consolidate his cultivation. However, what Xiao Chen did not expect was that just after he stopped for a few days, the Supernatural Investigation Bureau had a new mission.
"Deputy Bureau Chief Xiao Chen, this is Ling Tian." Ling Tian called, and the voice on the other side of the phone was a little rushed. "Where are you?"
"I'm in Songning, at my house. Bureau Chief Ling, what's the matter?" asked Xiao Chen.
"It's like this. A group of people wants the latest research results of the research institute, which is the forging method of the Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron. They sent me a threatening letter, asking me to hand over the forging method …" said Ling Tian.
"Forging method?" Xiao Chen was stunned. "Could it be that the research institute already has a result and can forge the Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron?"
Xiao Chen was a little shocked. He had coveted the Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron for a long time, but he did not know how to forge it. Although the material was hard, it could not be used if it was forged into the shape of a flying sword.
As for the research base, it was probably not as simple as just forging. They must have obtained the refining method, which was why they were coveted and asked for it. Otherwise, any martial arts sect would be able to forge weapons by brute force.
"It's done, it can be smelted. However, I don't know who leaked the news. This news should be an absolute secret, but now a group of mysterious people knows about it. This group of mysterious people is very strong, and they come and go without a trace. They actually put the letter under my nose and escaped. Therefore, I suspect that they should be at the level of a late stage martial artist …" said Ling Tian.
"Oh, then Bureau Chief Ling, do you mean that you want me to protect the research institute?" asked Xiao Chen.
"No," Ling Tian said. "The research institute has already sent more troops and special forces to protect it. No matter how strong the other party is, once they are locked on by a small infrared missile, they will either die or be crippled! Therefore, there is no need to worry about the research institute for now! "
"That is …" Xiao Chen was a little confused. Since the research institute had such a tight security system, why did they look for him? Could it be that Ling Tian suspected that he had leaked the secret? That was not possible. He did not even know the progress of the research institute.
"It's like this … the other party seems to know my background. They actually threatened to kidnap my granddaughter to force me to hand over the forging information." Ling Tian said.
"Your granddaughter?" Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback, "Where is she? Is there no one protecting her? "
"There is someone protecting her, but it won't do if the person protecting her is too obvious. My granddaughter is currently in university. If it is too obvious, then her normal life in school will be affected. If that happens, then she will not have any friends! Therefore, I think that you should be able to go to university and protect her secretly! "
"Me? Go to university? " Xiao Chen finally understood why Ling Tian was looking for him, "However, this matter is very confusing. Bureau Chief Ling, you want me to protect your granddaughter, right? But who wants to deal with her? For how long? Am I a match for the other party? "
"That's right, I want you to protect her! This can be considered a request. I know that with your current identity, you are not suitable to be a bodyguard, but … because of my work, I owe my granddaughter and cannot accompany her. Now that she is in danger, I have to ensure her safety! " Ling Tian replied, "She wants to live a normal university life, and doesn't want to be monitored and alienated by her classmates. So, after thinking about it, I think you're the most suitable candidate. After all, your strength is there for all to see, and your age is also suitable …"
"Sigh … alright, since Bureau Chief Ling has spoken, then I will definitely agree. However, you have to tell me the situation in detail right?" Xiao Chen did not say much before agreeing. After all, Ling Tian had treated him quite well. Previously, when Ling Tian had found out about his identity, he had not said much. Instead, he had confirmed Xiao Chen's identity in one fell swoop.
However, he still had to understand the situation before he could make a decision.
"The situation is like this. I suspect that these people are from the inner martial arts world!" Ling Tian said seriously.
"What?! Inner martial arts world?! "Xiao Chen was a little shocked after hearing this. Inner martial arts world? They are actually from the inner martial arts world? Xiao Chen just had the strength to challenge the outer martial arts world. Not long after, there were already people from the inner martial arts world?
"This is just a guess. After all, we all know the situation of the outer martial arts world. Moreover, the outer martial arts world is not so unscrupulous. They are also afraid of attracting unnecessary trouble. After all, these sects basically do not exist. The monk can run, but the temple cannot run. When the time comes, the armored troops will be mobilized and these sects will be wiped out in a matter of minutes." Ling Tian said, "But the inner martial arts world is different. The inner martial arts world has always been a mysterious existence. No one knows where it is and no one knows how to enter it. They are always the ones who take the initiative to contact the outside world. No one has ever taken the initiative to contact them!"
"So mysterious?" This was the first time Xiao Chen heard about the details of the inner martial arts world. He was a little shocked, "So, we still can't do anything about the inner martial arts world?"
"You can say that, but for so many years, it has been peaceful. The inner martial arts world generally rarely interferes with the affairs of the secular world. They also have their own conventions. This time, the refining method of the Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron might be extremely important to them. That's why they have taken such extreme measures!" Ling Tian said, "Of course, it could also be that the outer martial arts world is pretending to use such extreme measures to hide their identity!"
"I understand. When do we act?" Xiao Chen roughly understood, so he asked.
"The sooner the better. I don't know if this threat is real or fake." Ling Tian said, "I hope it is just a joke."
"Okay, then I will go immediately. Where is your granddaughter?" Xiao Chen asked.
"In Lan City, Lan City University." Ling Tian said, "This matter is confidential. Very few people know about my granddaughter, including the people in the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. However, I don't know how these people know …"
"If that's the case …" Xiao Chen thought that there must be a traitor. However, this was not easy to say. After all, the Supernatural Investigation Bureau was under Ling Tian's control. He was only the deputy director. Thus, he said, "Okay, then I will go to Lan City now!"
"That's great. Deputy Director Xiao Chen, I will also go to Lan City to wait for you!" Ling Tian himself did not expect Xiao Chen to agree so readily, "I will also book your plane ticket for you."
"That's not necessary. I can go by myself." Xiao Chen was now in the Gold Core Stage. Therefore, he wanted to see how fast his flying speed was. He was prepared to fly directly to Lan City instead of taking a plane.
"Alright, see you in Lan City then!" Ling Tian agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen directly found Xiao Hai and Xiao Yuanshan. He told them about his new mission and then left.
