Chapter 1354: Chapter 1353: Research Center

At night, Yanbang is even more bustling compared to Wu City. People of all ages, from both domestic and overseas, stroll along the streets.

The night in Yanbang is a hedonistic paradise, a carnival for the wealthy. Various bars and nightclubs are teeming with people. Even someone like Shen Qingguang, who is used to such scenes, can’t help but get excited. It must be said that the women in Yanbang are of much higher quality than those in Wu City, with a high proportion of beauties. In one night, Jiang Cheng and Shen Qingguang almost wore out their eyes from looking around, wishing for a few more pairs from their dear mothers.

As Jiang Cheng and Shen Qingguang walked and looked around, they unknowingly arrived at the nationwide famous club, Heaven on Earth.

It is said that this club is managed by the number one person of the Hua Family. Who the number one person of the Hua Family is is no doubt, changing every ten years, and naturally, the person managing this club changes every ten years too. With this relationship, the club naturally became the nation’s top club. Those eligible to enter this club are either very wealthy or very noble. "Wealthy" means rich enough to be famous nationwide, and "noble" in this densely populated Yanbang means at least of a deputy ministerial level to qualify. Otherwise, a night’s spending here could easily plunge a moderately well-off family into poverty overnight.

"I really wish I could get a chance to throw a party in there during my lifetime! Then I’d have no regrets," exclaimed Shen Qingguang, curious about what it’s like inside.

"There will be such a day," Jiang Cheng said confidently, also a bit intrigued by the renowned Heaven on Earth.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng’s wristband rang. When Jiang Cheng looked, his eyes were filled with surprise.

"Hello, Elder Li, how come you’re calling me?" Jiang Cheng wondered, since this person normally never contacted him voluntarily. "Jiang Cheng, I heard you’re in Yanbang now!" Li Shengli said blandly, without a trace of emotion.

"Elder Jiang’s news is really well-informed. I just arrived this afternoon." Jiang Cheng was not surprised at all that Li Shengli knew he was in Yanbang, after all, the elder held such a formidable institution...

"Jiang Cheng, I have a task for you." Upon hearing these words from Elder Li, Jiang Cheng thought to himself, so the day has come.

Flashing back to the night Li Shengli and Zhang Yi visited Jiang Cheng’s home. Jiang established a company, allowing Li Shengli and Zhang Yi to invest and provide technology for the team, in return receiving significant benefits from both. Zhang gave Jiang Cheng a rank to mobilize teams, while Li Shengli provided him with an identity: member of the Hua Family Country National Security Team Special Operations Division.

The Hua Family Country National Security Team Special Operations Division, abbreviated as the National Security Team Special Operations Division, is a very mysterious and special department of the Hua Family Country. The department is directly under federal jurisdiction, currently under the authority of Li Shengli, with various privileges, enjoying benefits comparable to department level, and each special operations team member possesses a license to kill, allowing them to act first and report later if national security is threatened. The division also owns the most advanced weaponry and equipment, primarily responsible for national security, counter-espionage, and counter-terrorism.

And Jiang Cheng is now a member of the National Security Team Special Operations Division, a fact he hasn’t disclosed to anyone. When Li Shengli gave him this identity, he also stated that when Jiang was needed in the future, he must not refuse. Jiang Cheng agreed at the time, not expecting the task would come in just a few months.

"Elder Jiang, tell me, I’ll do my best." Jiang Cheng was a bit apprehensive inside, hoping it wouldn’t be a dangerous task since he wasn’t exactly combat-ready.

"Don’t worry, it’s not a dangerous task. The director of our national scientific research center is arriving in Yanbang tomorrow, you’ll just need to pick him up." Elder Li said. "I thought it was something big, this kind of small task, rest assured, I guarantee completion!" Jiang Cheng said confidently.

"Hope so," Li Shengli said, then hung up the call.

After hearing Li Shengli’s words, Jiang Cheng found it strange, why on earth wouldn’t he complete a mere pickup task? How belittling! Jiang Cheng thought indignantly.

"Boss, what task did you just mention?" asked Shen Qingguang, who had been gazing at passing beauties beside him, only catching bits and pieces of Jiang Cheng’s words. At some point, Shen Qingguang stopped addressing Jiang Cheng as President Jiang and started calling him boss, which Jiang Cheng didn’t mind.

"Task, well, we have a big task to complete right now," Jiang Cheng said with a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

"What?" Shen Qingguang seemed to anticipate something, also revealing a similar smile.

"Flirting!" Jiang Cheng shouted aloud, immediately dashing towards a nearby nightclub. Shen Qingguang quickly followed.

"Wait for me!"

The eastern sky’s darkness gradually faded, with beams of light piercing through, and the horizon began to glow white. It was the beginning of a new day, people put on their disguises once more, hiding within their skins, starting a new day’s work.

At a hotel in Yanbang City, room 4026.

Jiang Cheng lay on the bed, sunlight streamed into the room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, hitting Jiang Cheng. Feeling the warm sunlight, Jiang Cheng gradually woke up.

He checked the time; it was 8:23 in the morning. He wouldn’t be heading to the airport until the afternoon, but before that, he had one more thing to do.

Jiang Cheng got out of bed, washed up simply, then left the room and knocked on the room across the hall. After several knocks, Shen Qingguang still didn’t open the door. Unable to wait any longer, Jiang Cheng pointed his wristband at the door lock, quickly opening the door following a beep.

Entering Shen Qingguang’s room, Jiang Cheng immediately smelled a strong hormonal odor, the mixed scent making it clear how much Shen Qingguang had indulged last night.

Sure enough, Shen Qingguang was half-reclined on the bed, holding a woman. Though they were both under covers, which left Jiang Cheng slightly disappointed.

"Raid!" Jiang Cheng shouted, and the two on the bed jumped up immediately. The woman quickly sat up pulling the quilt with her, then spoke, "Sir, we’re a couple!"

Their swift reaction and familiar response left Jiang Cheng speechless. Shen Qingguang realized what was happening and glared at Jiang Cheng. Seeing this, Jiang Cheng could only turn and exit the room.

"I’ll be waiting for you outside! Hurry up! And don’t stage a morning drama!" Having said that, Jiang Cheng returned to his room.

Half an hour later, Shen Qingguang, dressed neatly in a suit, was waiting outside the room. The woman was gone by then. Jiang Cheng vaguely remembered that she was the woman Shen Qingguang flirted with at the bar last night. Shen Qingguang’s flirting skills truly were impressive, managing to hook up so quickly.
