Chapter 1488: Chapter 1478: Offending

And the leader watched Jiang Cheng walk towards the monitoring room, a spark suddenly appeared in his eyes. That spark was as if he saw his own past, it was Xu’s gaze, and also Ying’s gaze.

Indeed, Jiang Cheng’s first appearance had deeply impressed the leader. How he hoped that Jiang Cheng was his soldier.

He hoped to have such an ace in the team, his team needed such a person, such an excellent person to leverage the entire team’s capabilities.

However, the invitation the leader extended to Jiang Cheng was flatly rejected by Jiang Cheng. The leader didn’t understand why Jiang Cheng would refuse.

Jiang Cheng would be a perfect fit for the team; his physical condition, his profound martial arts, his potential awareness, these were the best conditions to join the team.

Only the team, this great melting pot, could be the best platform for Jiang Cheng to exert his talents to the fullest, and it would be here that his value could truly manifest.

Yet Jiang Cheng refused the leader’s invitation, rejected without a shred of hesitation, firmly. But if you think the leader gave up on recruiting Jiang Cheng, then you’re totally wrong, he would not give up, he never has.

This is like a battlefield, cannot be abandoned; abandonment means failure, surrender. He’s someone who has endured the rain of bullets, he has held countless positions.

Jiang Cheng entered the monitoring room, here the entire wall was lined with large display screens, composed of numerous small screens.

A monitor guard sat in a chair, watching 37 large screens, and on the table was a notebook for recording some emergencies, and a controller.

This controller could control the rotation of the cameras and also check their records, all of which were recorded here.

Jiang Cheng directly sat in the chair, then picked up the controller, saying to the person: "What’s the password?"

The person turned his head and saw that those who entered with Jiang Cheng were big shots, he didn’t dare to slack off and quickly stated the password. Jiang Cheng swiftly inspected, but ultimately discovered that once out the door, Xu Ying disappeared, leaving no trace.

Elder Xu wore a look of concern, his face nearly as dark as that of Bao Qingtian. Jiang Cheng helplessly stood up: "Cannot find anything through the monitoring."

"Jiang Cheng, I have the entire city’s monitoring. You can find any location’s footage with it, so finding Xu Ying is easy, but you must promise me one thing—that you join our team." The leader once again issued an invitation to Jiang Cheng.

Of course, this was spoken by the leader when he pulled Jiang Cheng aside, so no one else could hear it, yet Jiang Cheng refused the leader’s invitation once again.

"Sorry, I won’t accept your offer, no need to put in any more effort, I’ve already decided and won’t change." Jiang Cheng said directly.

The leader, though angry at Jiang Cheng’s decision, didn’t show it. After all, he was a big person who had experienced life and death, possessing the poise of remaining calm in the face of a collapsing Mount Tai.

The leader directly took out a name card from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Cheng, then said: "This is my card. Think it over and give me a call." After placing down the card, the leader turned and left resolutely, with his back straight, and Jiang Cheng looked at his silhouette with eyes of admiration.

Jiang Cheng thought, he would not join the army, so this card would be useless for him, thus he stood up intending to leave, but was stopped directly by Elder Xu.

"Jiang Cheng, keep the card. I will never make that call." Jiang Cheng felt he had never been coerced before, nor would he bend for anything. "You should keep it. Since he gave you the card, surely it’s for a reason, it won’t be that simple." Elder Xu’s gaze cast a wise light, this was the wealth of his many years’ experience, and instinct told him the card was important, in the future Jiang Cheng would certainly need it, it was not whether Jiang Cheng wanted to use it, but he would be forced to use it.

Jiang Cheng also caught the implication in Elder Xu’s gaze, he suddenly felt that the card was indeed not that simple, so he took the card and put it in his pocket.

"Where are you going?" Elder Xu looked at Jiang Cheng walking outside, asking, his voice full of authority that was irresistible.

"I’m going outside to see if I can find Xu Ying." With that, Jiang Cheng went straight out, reminiscing about Xu Ying bit by bit, recalling Xu Ying’s hobbies. He wanted to deduce from these memories where Xu Ying might go.

The memories fixed on the riverside, there was a park with an elegant, quiet environment, the air permeated with freshness; Xu Ying had told Jiang Cheng she liked clean air, she liked fish, and more so liked listening to the babbling sound of the river.

Jiang Cheng waved to a taxi, stopped in front of him, and Jiang Cheng got in heading directly to the park. There weren’t many cars on the road, so the speed was fast, and they soon arrived at the park.

Today, there were very few people in the park, Jiang Cheng directly quickened his pace, began crazily searching in the park, finally checking every corner, but still didn’t find any trace of Xu Ying.

Jiang Cheng slumped onto a bench, feeling there must be something more to this, a plot, but he couldn’t find any clues. Jiang Cheng sat on the bench, watching the flowing river water, sinking into thought.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng’s phone rang, he picked it up and saw it was Linda calling, Jiang Cheng frowned; Linda wouldn’t call unless it was something important.

"Hello! Jiang Corporation has some problems, it’s been shut down." Linda’s anxious voice came through the line.

"Okay, I understand, I’ll come to the company immediately," Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, his head throbbing with pain.

Jiang Cheng reviewed all the major leaders’ footage once, and only after asking about all the causes did he realize the engineering team was making trouble for him.

Jiang Cheng looked at the card in his pocket, feeling uneasy; he directly took out his phone, found the head of the engineering team’s number, and dialed it. The phone rang several times before it was picked up.

"Hello! Hi, boss, it’s Jiang Cheng!" Jiang Cheng said enthusiastically into the phone.

"Oh, President Jiang, it’s been a long time since we met." The leader leisurely said on the phone, his mood seemed good from his tone, Jiang Cheng felt a wave of pleasure, calling when the mood is good, things are easier to handle.

"Boss, our company’s been shut down, what exactly is going on?" Jiang Cheng got straight to the point, it’s best to solve such matters early, good for everyone.

"Oh, this is the higher-ups’ intention, I’m very helpless, you should seek someone more skilled for this, I really can’t help." The leader was also very troubled, immediately regretting answering the call, he didn’t want to offend either side, seemingly he couldn’t afford to offend either side.

"Alright, you get busy then!" Jiang Cheng rubbed his throbbing temples, recalling what Jiang Cheng said. The command from above.

Logically, with Elder Xu around, usually no one would target him, could it be that person? Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but recall the name card in his pocket.
