Chapter 701 The Struggles Of The Chambers Of Commerce
In the Chairman’s office, Chairman Gu Qing stood before Lu Yu while he sat in a chair. Gu Qing looked like a subordinate reporting to his leader.
“So if I want to go to Stellaris, I can’t reach the Central City of the Star Science Chamber of Commerce directly? Fine. Now, tell me which city the Fierce Dragon Gang is in, and I’ll go there first.”
Gu Qing looked at Lu Yu with surprise in his eyes. He didn’t expect Lu Yu to dare go directly to someone else’s main headquarters.
!!
“It’s dangerous, especially when you’ve already formed a grudge against the Fierce Dragon Gang. If you want to go there, I suggest you avoid it.”
“Do you think I’m afraid of them?” Lu Yu stared at him.
He quickly shook his head. “No, you’re so powerful. Why would you be?”
“Whatever, I’ll just tell you now. Qin Yang’s life is in my hands. If anything happens to me in their territory, Qin Yang will die. Do you understand?”
Gu Qing was stunned and unable to return to his senses for a long time.
“You mean the Star Science Chamber of Commerce President’s son, Qin Yang?”
“That’s him. Is there a problem?”
“No… I understand…”
He thought that Lu Yu was just courting death earlier, and he finally understood Lu Yu’s standing after hearing this.
At the same time, he looked at Lu Yu in shock. The Star Science Chamber of Commerce President’s son was held hostage by an outsider; this was mind-blowing!
“I’ll be frank then. The city where the Fierce Dragon Gang is located is a coastal city called Star Ocean City.”
“What is the distribution of their forces there?”
“I’m unsure about the details, but the Star Ocean City is under the Fierce Dragon Gang’s control. Everything is already under their control, whether in the open or in the dark.
“Oh, really? It seems that this gang is sure of something else. I’m sure it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Star Science Chamber of Commerce.”
Lu Yu stood up and walked to Gu Qing’s side. He patted his shoulder and said, “Drive us to the teleportation point. We’re going there.”
Gu Qing heaved a long sigh and nodded helplessly. “No problem. I’ll take you there now.”
After that, he turned around and left his office.
Lu Yu and the rest followed closely and walked out.
When they arrived at the garage on the first floor of the basement, Gu Qing sat in his sedan as Lu Yu and the others also got in the car.
“It’s not a short journey; I think it’ll take half a day to get there.”
Gu Qing stepped on the accelerator after saying this.
The car drove out onto the busy street.
It was already very late, but many people were still on the streets.
After crossing the busy streets, the car drove onto a highway bridge and headed toward the city’s other half.
Gradually, a ray of light appeared in the sky, and the night was finally over.
Changlin City finally learned about the huge incident that happened last night.
Xu Yuan sat in the front passenger seat and looked at his phone.
“It’s on the news. The owner of Changlin City’s biggest real estate company died in his villa. The comments below are all celebrating his death, it seems.”
“It looks like the public’s eyes are sharp. They know that these people are not good citizens.” Yun Zirou added.
“Mr. Lu, do you need me to release a statement? I will make sure to announce your contributions properly.” Gu Qing turned his head to look at Lu Yu while driving.
“No need. Just focus on driving.”
“Oh, I know. You must be keeping a low profile. I’m sure getting rid of evil for the people must be a small feat for you.” Gu Qing answered with a chuckle.
Lu Yu was speechless at his answer. He just didn’t want to expose his whereabouts after offending many people, as countless eyes were on him. If he revealed his whereabouts rashly, he would be easily targeted.
Whether it was the Freedom Federation, the Stellaris Autonomous Zone, or even the Lionheart Empire, he had enemies in all of them.
The only place that could guarantee his safety was the ancient dragon tomb.
Soon, they crossed the bridge and a few more streets, gradually leaving the city and heading to the suburbs.
The surroundings were undeveloped, and there was a large forest greeting them as soon as they left the city.
The car drove along a forest path with lush trees on both sides. From time to time, wild deer could be seen shuttling through the forest.
The long journey bored Lu Yu and the others. They set off in the morning and were in a car for half a day, but they still hadn’t seen the teleportation point.
It was not until the evening that they saw a building in this primitive forest.
“It’s just ahead, and that base is the teleportation point. You can enter Stellaris from there.”
Gu Qing pointed at a base in front of them and said.
Soon, his car arrived at the gate of the base.
“Please show me your identity.”
Gu Qing hurriedly greeted the security guard with a smile and said, “It’s me. Chairman Gu.”
“Oh! Hello! Please come in!”
The security guard pressed a button, and the iron gates slowly opened.
Gu Qing went back to the car and drove it in slowly.
“You’re pretty influential.” Lu Yu quipped.
“Just barely. After all, I’m doing an admirable job in Changlin City.” Gu Qing smiled humbly.
...
After the car drove in, it stopped beside a courtyard.
“This courtyard is the place to activate the teleportation array. The lines carved on the ground are it, and once you input energy into it, the array will be activated.”
Gu Qing got out of his car, as did Lu Yu and the other three.
“Hey, open the teleportation gate to Star Ocean City!”
Gu Qing called out to an old man beside him.
“Sir, we’ll have to register for your teleportation.”
“What’s there to register? These friends of mine don’t like to disclose their private information.”
“I’m from the Stellaris Autonomous Zone. Don’t try to get in through the back door as an officer of the Freedom Federation.” The old man sipped his tea, dismissing Gu Qing’s words.
“Do you want to register?”
Gu Qing turned to Lu Yu and asked.
“Sure, let’s register.”
...
Lu Yu walked to the old man’s side and saw a form on the table beside him. On it, some personal information had to be filled in.
Lu Yu picked up a pen and simply wrote in his personal information.
The old man picked up the form and glanced at it. “Generally speaking, the borders between the Freedom Federation and the Stellaris Autonomous Zones are loose. In the past, no one needed to register for entering and exiting.”
“It’s just that something has happened in Stellaris recently. The situation is problematic, so we have to register each person who comes here.”
After the old man finished speaking, he tidied up the form and put it into a portfolio.
“Sir, I would like to ask what happened in Stellaris. Is it chaotic now?”
“The hostility between the two chambers of commerce has been there for a long time, and it suddenly deepened greatly. The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce has recently increased its assaults on the Star Science Chamber of Commerce, and the two sides are now in a heated battle. In the past, it was only a trade war with minimal friction. Whereas now, there are gradually signs of an all-out war.”
“They’re all businessmen; would they really fight?” Xu Yuan asked with a smile. In his opinion, businessmen were all cowardly and did not dare to do anything particularly risky.
“The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce has an advantage now, suppressing the Star Science Chamber of Commerce. If they win, they will dominate the entire autonomous zone. If it were you, wouldn’t you want to take a bite of such a big cake?”
Lu Yu and the others looked at each other and expressed their agreement.
