Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1269: Chapter 1268: Technological Productivity

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Tian’s determined expression, found it hard to say anything else, and said, ”Alright then, we’re leaving. We might have to ask you about some things later.” Jiang Cheng felt that Zhang Tian definitely knew something about this matter.

”Ok. Take care.” Zhang Tian said before lying back down.

”What kind of attitude is that, Jiang?” Zhao Shuai felt annoyed again, looking at Zhang Tian’s smug appearance.

”Alright, let’s be understanding towards the sick.” Jiang Cheng said as he walked out and helped Zhang Tian close the door.

After the three of them had left, Zhang Tian lay alone in the hospital room, staring blankly at the ceiling, and suddenly his eyes became moist.

”Jiang, how do you plan to investigate?” Zhao Shuai asked on the way back in the car.

”Sleep first,” Jiang Cheng said calmly.

After hearing this, Zhao Shuai couldn’t close his mouth and was stunned for a while, ”Re-really?”

”Of course, I’m really exhausted!” Jiang Cheng said.

Once home, Jiang Cheng couldn’t wait to go to sleep.

”Looks like Jiang is really worn out.” Zhao Shuai said.

”Jiang isn’t in any trouble, right?” Cloud asked, looking at Jiang Cheng’s back.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng really wanted to sleep. It wasn’t just being tired, it was that entering the Desert Illusion Realm had drained too much of his energy. He really couldn’t hold on any longer.

Jiang Cheng fell asleep without even having time to think too much.

Jiang Cheng woke up the next morning, opened the curtains, and saw that it was just dawn. He checked the time, and sure enough, it was only slightly past five.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Cheng felt much better after a night’s sleep, and his whole body felt comfortable. The continuous pressure from the past few days was gone.

Jiang Cheng walked into the living room and found Qi Rongfeng already sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Breakfast was laid out on the dining table.

”Good morning, Jiang.” Qi Rongfeng said with a smile.

”Up so early?” Jiang Cheng said.

”Yes, I went to bed early, but I’ve only just woken up.” Qi Rongfeng replied.

”You go freshen up first, and then come over and have breakfast.” Qi Rongfeng continued.

”Alright,” Jiang Cheng smiled and went to wash up. It seemed that Rongfeng was back to his old self, which was great.

At the table, Jiang Cheng saw that Qi Rongfeng had prepared a very hearty breakfast. ”Jiang, Zhang Tian just called,” Qi Rongfeng said, sitting across from Jiang Cheng.

”What did he say?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”He didn’t say much. Just mentioned that we could go over to his place later, and I noted that. Let’s go after we finish breakfast.” Jiang Cheng said.

”What do you think it’s about, Jiang?” Qi Rongfeng looked at Jiang Cheng’s knowing expression and felt he might know why Zhang Tian was calling them over.

”It’s about the Desert Illusion Realm,” Jiang Cheng said.

”Oh, that should indeed be dealt with as soon as possible, but are we not waiting for Zhao Shuai and the others?” Qi Rongfeng asked.

”Let’s not call them, let’s go.” Jiang Cheng still wanted to deal with this matter as early as possible.

The two finished breakfast quickly and headed to Zhang Tian’s house. Zhang Tian’s house was the same as when they left the other day, unchanged. Zhang Tian opened the door promptly, ”Came this early?”

”No big deal,” Jiang Cheng replied. Today, Zhang Tian looked the best he had in several days, with a rosy complexion and a spirited appearance.

Jiang Cheng and Qi Rongfeng sat on the sofa while Zhang Tian brewed tea for them.

Jiang Cheng took a sip of tea, ”Is your health all better now?”

”Yes, it’s better. Thanks.” Zhang Tian said, also taking a sip of tea.

This thanks was really puzzling, leaving people wondering why he was expressing gratitude.

”Ying, did you discover anything?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”I had someone investigate. The people who detained Zhao Shuai and Qi Rongfeng that day were them.” Zhang Tian said, taking out two photos and handing them to Jiang Cheng and Qi Rongfeng.

”That bald man is called Li Bin, the uncle of the Wula Sect disciple you fought that day. He detained you this time because of his nephew. The other person is just an ordinary Wula Sect disciple, who appears to be an accomplice, likely having some leverage against him in Li Bin’s hands, forcing him to follow orders.” Zhang Tian said.

”Was the Desert Illusion Realm orchestrated by that Li Bin?” Qi Ruofeng asked.

”The evidence found only points to those two, but I don’t think he could have created the illusion, he doesn’t have that capability.” Zhang Tian said.

”That Li Bin isn’t even considered a Family Elder, he doesn’t have that power.” Zhang Tian continued.

”Are there other people involved in this matter?” Qi Rongfeng asked.

”There must be, but it’s impossible to find out now.” Zhang Tian said.

Jiang Cheng also knew that the person who created the illusion wouldn’t be that easily found. If Zhang Tian couldn’t find out, then there was no way for him either. The only option was to personally visit the Wula Sect.

”Looks like you already have a plan?” Zhang Tian asked, seeing Jiang Cheng deep in thought.

”Yes, more or less. I have some ideas.” Jiang Cheng said.

”One more thing. Recently, there have been demonstrations.” Zhang Tian said.

”Demonstrations? Why?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”The demonstrators are rallying under the banner of saving the country’s technological productivity.” Zhang Tian said.

”What kind of reason is that?” Qi Rongfeng had never heard of anyone demonstrating for such a slogan.

”No matter the slogan, their social influence is quite significant.” Zhang Tian said.

”Has the demonstration affected your company?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”Not yet,” Zhang Tian said, ”but there’s no guarantee it won’t in the future. If such demonstrations succeed, it’s not only the nation’s leaders who will lose face but also the bigwigs in the scientific community. Ultimately, the ones who suffer will be us businesspeople.” Zhang Tian said somewhat helplessly.

”Are you saying that if something happens to your company, you want me to cover for you?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”Yes. Can you?” Zhang Tian asked, and it was the first time Jiang Cheng saw such hopeful eyes from Zhang Tian.

”Of course.” Jiang Cheng replied.

After discussing everything, the three fell silent, each seemingly lost in their own thoughts. After finishing their tea, Jiang Cheng and Qi Rongfeng left.

”Jiang, are we going to the Wula Sect now?” Qi Rongfeng asked.

”Yes, that’s what I’m thinking. One way or another, the incident happened there.” Jiang Cheng said.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng’s phone rang. He didn’t need to look to know it was Zhao Shuai. Sure enough, he saw it was Zhao Shuai calling. Jiang Cheng picked up and heard Zhao Shuai’s boisterous voice. Zhao Shuai had just woken up and, seeing Jiang Cheng and Qi Rongfeng gone, called Jiang Cheng, ”Jiang! Where have you gone? And Rongfeng too. Did you sneak away again without me?” Zhao Shuai said.

”We left when you were still asleep, so we didn’t disturb you,” Jiang Cheng said slowly, ”We went to Zhang Tian’s place, and we’re heading back now.”

”Oh, I see, haha, no problem. I thought you had gone to the Wula Sect. If you go there, I definitely want to go.” Zhao Shuai said.

”Hey? Jiang, and also, I saw demonstrators on TV. Did you know?” Zhao Shuai asked cautiously, and just as Jiang Cheng was wondering why he was asking, Zhao Shuai continued, ”I saw that the leader of the protest was Wu Shi.” Zhao Shuai’s voice sounded a bit choked up, ”This I wasn’t aware of.” Jiang Cheng said.
