Chapter 948: Upheaval

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That afternoon.

Something huge happened on Jijing Island and the video of it made headlines on all of the major media platforms. A row of black jeeps drove on the road and people in suits were seen entering and leaving various financial corporations. These financial corporations were undergoing a major change of management.

Jiangsui and his subordinates, along with Ji Heng and Jiang Shenyuan’s team, acted swiftly. The various corporations’ management teams, which were originally under the Elders’ Association, were all replaced with Ji Heng’s management teams. Whenever someone objected to it, Jiang Shenyuan would immediately produce the legal documents to show them.

Everything happened in just one day. It was like the entirety of Jijing Island had undergone a great upheaval. Even when things slightly settled down at night, the few major clans still felt as if they were under some sort of suppression. The middle-class families, on the other hand, were all terrified of Gu Mang, the future heir of Jijing Island.

Because the Leng manor was under construction, the Leng family moved to stay on the other side of the estate for the time being. Currently, Elder Bi, Leng Xuan’s trusted aides from the medical association and Base 102, and several heads of the families that were dependent on the Leng family, were all seated on the sofa in their living room.

Everyone there, including Leng Xuan herself, had agreed to sign that agreement back then. The current depressing mood was a stark contrast to the mood when they had been so sure that Gu Mang would fail the assessment.

Elder Bi said, “I think we should approve the documents for the Shen family to enter Jijing Island first, lest more unexpected situations crop up.”

In terms of influence, the Shen family were considered pretty much on par with the Lu family, but the former might have overtaken the latter now that the latter was divided and half of their assets, as well as their military group, were in Gu Mang’s hands.

Old Master Shen and Shen Xie, who had spent the past few days on Jijing Island, had been invited here by Elder Bi. When they heard what Elder Bi said, they immediately looked at Leng Xuan for her opinion. The latter’s lack of response made Old Master Shen anxious.

Civil unrest had happened on Jijing Island before and one could tell how powerful the Elders’ Association was by the alarming speed at which they had managed to quell the unrest. Hence, Old Master Shen did not think that the current upheaval would pose any problem to Jijing Island. On the contrary, he thought that this was the best time for the Shen family to enter Jijing Island, just like how Killer Alliance had back then.

As Old Master Shen thought about the cards he had up his sleeve, he squeezed his fingers and said to Leng Xuan, “Elder Leng, the chief program designer of Xingmu’s security department is the hacker Arctic Fox. I heard that the Leng family has been wanting to connect with Shadow League. Shen Xie can be the middleman.”

While Shen Xie shot Old Master Shen an outraged look, Leng Xuan cast a meaningful look at Shen Xie. Elder Bi turned to look at the young man in surprise as well, for he had never heard him mention it before.

Old Master Shen kicked Shen Xie’s foot in a signal for the latter to spill the truth.

“Arctic Fox designed your firewall?” asked Leng Xuan.

Shen Xie pursed his lips. “Yes.”

Leng Xuan probed, “Have you met Arctic Fox before?”

“No,” replied Shen Xie frigidly. “Arctic Fox doesn’t need to report to work. They’re only in charge of our company’s firewall.”

Xingmu International Corporation’s security system had once been featured on a program and not even three teams of professional hackers could break it. Their security system could be considered the best, so it made sense that Arctic Fox was the one who had made it.

Leng Xuan drummed her fingers against the sofa’s armrests. “Can you contact Arctic Fox right now?”

“I doubt it,” answered Shen Xie with a shake of his head.

Leng Xuan fell silent for several seconds before turning to Elder Bi to say, “Go approve the documents for the Shen family to enter Jijing Island.”

…

Old Master Shen was in an incredibly good mood when he left the Leng residence with Shen Xie. He exhaled in relief as if a huge weight had been lifted off his chest. “We’re finally entering Jijing Island after so many years.”

Shen Xie’s countenance darkened.. “Do you have any idea what kind of person Arctic Fox is? You just made use of Arctic Fox to enter Jijing Island.”
