CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 256 NANJIANG CENTRAL CITY?_2

"Heh, like attracting investment, the High Wall Plan is also an important part of the new city development strategy.

"I’m not particularly clear on the specifics, but since it’s a requirement from above, everyone just needs to follow along."

Chu Shihong chuckled and didn’t offer much explanation.

Everyone frowned deeply, continuously pondering with confusion.

"Could it be that they intend to transform Nanjiang into a Central City?"

Suddenly, someone couldn’t help but speak up, surprised and suspicious.

The High Wall construction indeed bore such a resemblance to those Central Cities, leading people to such associations.

Most shared this guess, breathing heavily, but some spoke up to rationally refute it.

"A Central City requires Secret Realms of ancient civilization relics, does Nanjiang have that?"

This rhetorical question left everyone stunned.

But soon, someone recalled the first task Chu Shihong specifically mentioned earlier.

"Could it be..."

Surveying the Secret Realm nodes.... could it be that Nanjiang has a new Secret Realm?

Wow!!

In an instant, this thought surged like a tide in many people’s minds.

Including Chen Feng, who also immediately had a similar guess.

Although he had already suspected that there were hidden agendas behind Nanjiang’s investment promotions, this result was still somewhat unexpected for him.

"No."

Soon, frowning slightly, Chen Feng felt something was off.

If there is a new Secret Realm in Nanjiang, there shouldn’t be complete silence.

At the very least, the military and the Security Bureau should have sent people to seal off the relevant areas.

But right now, there’s no sign of such actions, even if the news was concealed, there would still be traces.

"Old Chu, what exactly is going on, could you give us some hints?"

Li Chengdong’s elder, Li Pinghai, couldn’t help but ask, clearly having a closer relationship with him.

Other council members also turned to look after hearing this, including Xu Heng and others, whose expressions were subtle, seemingly wanting to confirm a certain guess.

"I’m sorry, this matter is of great importance, I only know a little."

"I can only tell you, the future of Nanjiang is limitless."

"As local Association council members, we must find ways to develop and safeguard this city well!"

Chu Shihong spoke with a solemn tone, exuding a sense of righteousness.

Inside, everyone was itching with curiosity, but they knew better than to ask for more.

At least Chu Shihong confirmed one of their guesses, that Nanjiang is very likely to become a new Central City.

Just this thought alone secretly thrilled most of the council members present.

They were well aware of the status of a Central City, and understood the enormous benefits this transformation could bring to Nanjiang.

More resource support, stronger transformation technology, a broader city....

The benefits are imaginable, and along with it, these local council members’ status would rise accordingly.

As for the reason....

Until the meeting concluded, no one got a definite answer.

But more or less, some speculations began to emerge, including Chen Feng, who made some associations, albeit not with certainty.

"Alright, since no one has any objections, let’s wrap it up."

"After leaving, I hope everyone will participate together, and cooperate with one another...."

Chu Shihong gave a few instructions, and the High Wall Plan took effect.

It is expected to officially commence within half a month, encompassing a vast expanse of barren land and forest, known as the deserted outskirts, into its plans.

Soon after, the meeting room doors opened, and everyone got up, nodding as they left one after the other.

"Councilman Chen, please stay for a moment."

Chu Shihong specifically called out to Chen Feng, smiling as if he had something to convey.

Everyone showed varied expressions, some frowned while others were curious.

"Then I’ll be off."

Lin Hao also showed some excitement on his face, and Chen Feng noticed his many conjectures, nodding as they exchanged glances.

Once the others had left, the large meeting room quickly became empty, leaving only the two of them.

"I asked you to stay because Chairman Li has something for me to pass on to you."

Chu Shihong smiled as he spoke, while Chen Feng looked perplexed.

"First, some people are about to return and are somewhat restless, perhaps taking some small actions."

"He hopes you can handle it properly."

His tone was calm, and Chen Feng immediately realized that this was likely referring to Luo Wantao’s situation.

The other party is about to return from Radiant City and has never given up searching for Luo Hui’s killer.

"There is a royal member in Radiant City, whom Vice Chairman Luo specifically visited before leaving."

Chu Shihong subtly reminded him, Chen Feng felt a chill in his heart and realized the complexity involved.

The Royal Family, they are the most core of the high-level.

He suddenly understood why Chairman Li was restrained by the other side.

"You don’t have to worry too much, Chairman Li and Mr. Xia have been friends for many years."

Chu Shihong once again dropped an important piece of information, leaving Chen Feng shocked.

Xia, that’s the surname of the Chi Country’s Royal Family.

And Mr. Xia, he also saw him in the news, is one of the advanced representatives of the General Council.

"And the second matter?" Chen Feng suppressed his wandering thoughts and asked.

"Hehe, the Northern Martial Arts World’s Holy Sect is gaining momentum, that Liu Duanyun has attracted a lot of attention from above, recently receiving some new resource support."

"Your actions in Suluo have also received admiration and praise from some high-level members; Chairman Li believes that the Southern Martial Arts World has been in conflict for many years, maybe it’s time for someone to take the helm."

Oh? Chen Feng frowned.

Is this hoping for him to unify the Southern Martial Arts World?

Why are they, not being part of the Martial Arts World, so focused on this?

He looked at Chu Shihong, only to see him slightly shaking his head, indicating a lack of detailed knowledge of the key aspects.

Without asking further, Chen Feng suppressed his doubts, stood up to express his thanks.

Politely declined the invitation to eat, he then left the building.

But soon, as he walked toward the parking lot, he saw that the people from Jade Biotechnology hadn’t left yet.

The young man in the black purple suit coat, Xu Heng, was stepping on the gray bricks, standing by the flower bed downstairs, surrounded by several hefty bodyguards, vigilant all around.

"Councilman Chen."

Seeing Chen Feng walk downstairs, he smiled, stood midway.

"Anything?"

Chen Feng asked flatly.

"Hehe, nothing much, just wanted to invite Councilman Chen for lunch, wondering if there’s an opportunity for that?"

Xu Heng seemed sincere, yet many things in perception were so deceitful.

"No need."

Chen Feng shook his head, ready to leave.

"Hey, Councilman Chen."

"We don’t have to eat, but I wonder if I could invite you to become our Jade Group’s security advisor?"

Xu Heng spoke again, glancing discreetly at a drone in the distant corner.

"If you agree, whether it’s Advanced Life Potions or metal modules and the like, we can provide you with a certain share annually."

"I wonder if you have any interes..."

"Not interested."

A low voice suddenly echoed, interrupting Xu Heng’s unfinished statement, his face showing surprise.

With a slight furrow in his brow, the black-clad youth before him lowered his eyes, the hint of aggression within them was so glaring, even making one feel he had a bit of disdain.

"These little tricks....you’re too inexperienced."

Click!

Leather shoes hitting the ground, brushing past each other.

Chen Feng gave a final indifferent glance at him.

He walked all the way to the black car and left, the disappearing tail of the car made Xu Heng remain with furrowed brows, his face gradually manifesting a cold light.

"Young Master Xu?" a transformed bodyguard asked.

"Let’s go."

"Since he wants to hang around with my cousin, then there’s nothing to talk about."

With a cold laugh, Xu Heng was escorted into the flying device, heading straight to the newly completed Jade Biological Building nearby.

All images appeared before them on the virtual light screen, Lin Hao in the flying car relaxed his expression, instructed to retrieve the drone, and took a deep breath.

Feng Zi was still the Feng Zi he knew.

Also the brother he could trust the most.

He almost feared the other would really choose to abandon him.

"Boss, do you think Xu Heng will still go looking for Master Chen?"

Zhou Cheng asked from the passenger seat, still a bit worried.

After all, the conditions they promised weren’t low, he truly feared the young boss would experience betrayal and isolation again.

"There’s no point even if he does."

Lin Hao’s expression relaxed, completely letting go of the worry in his heart.

Scenes from the beginning till now flashed in his mind.

He knew, his brother, was prouder than anyone else.

Proud to the point that his spine stands tall like steel, only breaking but never bending.
