Chapter 1134 - Findings of the Investigation (2/2)

Quickly after, Ji Mu returned to his room and Tang Xiu took out a half-pack of cigarettes from the interspatial ring and lit one up. He didn’t rush back to the room to rest but stood in the corridor while watching the building reserved for the auction. The building was still brightly lit up and there was no other information passed to him.

In actuality, Tang Xiu already felt at ease after finding out that the problem originated from the military. He didn’t need to explain anything to Duanmu Lin as long as it was not a problem with the Magnificent Tang Corp. Honestly speaking, there was no effect whatsoever to him with the appearance of Aeroglider here, he could even gain some benefits instead. At the very least, these rich businesspeople now learned that this Aeroglider was a product manufactured by his company, some of whom would definitely jump out to support him when came the time to be sold to the public.

“You aren’t going to sleep?”

Half an hour later, Ouyang Lulu came out of the room and came to Tang Xiu’s side, asking softly.

“Don’t worry about that.” Tang Xiu shook his head and smilingly said, “It’s just that I haven’t yet heard anything from the auction hall. I just can’t fully set my mind at rest.”

“In fact, there’s nothing to worry about for you since the problem did not lie with your company.” Ouyang Lulu commented. “On the contrary, it’s Duanmu Lin who must give you an explanation since it was the military who erred.”

“I already know that you’re a smart one. Never thought you’ve completely grasped the issue too, though,” said Tang Xiu smilingly. “Well, let’s just hope Duanmu Lin can quickly figure out the problem since I won’t really feel at ease otherwise.”

“Why not directly involve yourself in the investigation since you don’t feel relieved, then?” commented Ouyang Lulu with a light smile.

“I get you on that. And Duanmu Li is also unlikely to bash the shit pot on our heads if the problem lies in the military.” Tang Xiu shook his head.

Ouyang Lulu was about to go on, but she suddenly noticed that a group of people was marching fast toward them, and her eyes finally caught Duanmu Lin leading them.

“Well, there they are. The result you’ve been waiting.”

Tang Xiu nodded lightly and just quietly waited for Duanmu Lin to come. Then, he asked the man, “Have you investigated it, Senior Duanmu?”

The man’s expression was a bit ugly as he nodded. “Let’s find a quiet room to speak about it.”

“Alright!”

Tang Xiu led Duanmu Lin and the rest to the room he had a drinking gathering with Miao Wentang and the rest. The attendants had it cleaned up already and it was very clean now.

After taking a seat, Duanmu Lin forced a wry smile and began speaking, “Tang Xiu, the investigation has been carried out, and it’s clear that there’s a problem within the military. I’ve already communicated with some people from the army and learned that a retired officer named Li Yuquan stole the Aeroglider from the army’s warehouse due to special reasons. We also inquired about its serial number. It’s exactly the Aeroglider that appeared in this auction.”

“What I want to know is, what’s the special reason you just said?” asked Tang Xiu.

“It’s hard for me to talk about the open and closed struggles in the army. Let’s save the topic and don’t ask about it anymore. I need to tell you now that Li Yuquan is now a wanted man all over the country, and the intelligence network from our state’s intel agency has been completely dispatched. We’ll definitely catch him in no time.”

Tang Xiu nodded in response and said, “This incident also gave me a wake-up call. It seems that the Magnificent Tang Corp. must also start strengthening our security. Senior Duanmu, I’m quite free for some time, and I kind of have an idea of forming my own security company. What do you think?”

“A security company?”

Duanmu Lin felt helpless inside and was left with no choice. Tang Xiu’s power was already big enough. He would be even more powerful if he set up a security company. Many things that were inconvenient for cultivators could be handed over to this security company.

Should he disagree with him?

He realized he really didn’t have the guts to do so. After all, this young man precisely hit the exact entry points. If he were to disagree with him and in case another incident happened that the Aeroglider produced by his company flowed to the outside, it would have nothing to do with Tang Xiu. He didn’t have to bear the responsibility after the incident if he disagreed with him forming his own security company.

“Just do what you see fit, Tang Xiu! I’ll contact some people concerning the formalities you need to set for the security company.” Duanmu Lin finally nodded.

“Thanks, Senior Duanmu,” said Tang Xiu smilingly. “Just contact me if you have anything I need to deal with. I’m obliged for the peace and stability of our country.”

Duanmu Lin got up and said, “I’ll keep your words, so I can sleep soundly in the future. Anyhow, I’ll disturb your rest no longer. This problem will come to an end when we catch Li Yuquan.”

“Ah, there’s another thing I want to ask you, Senior Duanmu.” Tang Xiu also got up and spoke again.

“And that is?” asked Duanmu Lin.

“What are you going to do with the wealthy business people and celebrities attending this auction?” asked Tang Xiu.

“What else can I do about them?” Duanmu Li forced a wry smile and said, “They only attended the auction and didn’t break any laws whatsoever. Even if I do hold the arbitrary power from the state, it’s not like I can just act unreasonably! But they all have signed a confidentiality agreement, and I’ll send people to keep tabs on them. Whoever dares to disclose any news of this Aeroglider, then it’s equal to them committing treason and be subjected to a death sentence.”
