Chapter 464 Abnormal

When Rong Xianxian accepted Chang Qing, she initially just wanted to give him some benefits to repay the favor she owed in her previous life. However, she did not expect that Chang Qing was so capable in handling daily affairs. After Cui Lie left, Chang Qing played a role in overall planning and coordinating all parties.

More importantly, Rong Xianxian found herself becoming more and more dependent on him. If she wanted to replace him, she really couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being. Besides, they had feelings for each other after getting along with each other. Chang Qing did nothing wrong, and she couldn't replace him just based on suspicion.

It was already afternoon when Rong Xianxian returned to her temporary residence.

Jiang Jie was originally good at setting up mechanisms and traps. Later, he got a book that specifically introduced mechanisms and traps from the people at the paper mill. Jiang Jie had studied this book for a long time and had also specially designed some trap drawings. He asked Ming Tianlei to help him create them.

"Ajie, the land in the outer city has been bought. Tomorrow you take people there for an on-site investigation and give me a design drawing as soon as possible. The above-ground part can be standard, and the underground secret rooms, escape passages, and traps need to be carefully considered. Just tell me how many people are needed and what materials or tools are needed. However, you cannot tell anyone about your design plan or design ideas. They must be kept confidential. Do you understand?" Rong Xianxian said.

"I understand, Sister Rong, don't worry." Jiang Jie agreed solemnly.

"Sister Rong, when Brother Ming and I went to the stock exchange today, we ran into the gangster who was harassing Ming Wei." After Jiang Jie left, Wang Lin came in to report.

"A gangster? Oh, what happened? That gangster dared to harass Mingwei?" Rong Xianxian raised her eyebrows.

"That gangster found a few helpers and said they wanted to fight outside the safe zone." Wang Lin said with a strange look on his face.

Chang Qing has just sent someone to check the details of the helper Liu Xin found, and there should be news coming back soon.

"Sister Rong, I found out that the people Liu Xin was looking for are all members of a small mercenary group. The mercenary group was established quite a long time ago, and most of its members are former local residents of Beijing. They don't have much ability, but they are very cooperative. Because they are local residents, some of them know some grassroots administrative personnel in the safe zone, as well as many members of large mercenary groups. They usually act quite domineeringly among the neighbors, but the penalties in the safe zone are strict, so they haven't committed any major crimes." Chang Qing knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Sister Rong, these people usually bully the weak and fear the strong. They must think that we are new here and don't understand our true strength. Why don't you let me take a few people to teach them a lesson?" Wang Lin volunteered.

"Doctor Rong, can I come in?" Ming Tianlei knocked on the door.

Wang Lin opened the door and saw Ming Tianlei and his daughter.

"Doctor Rong, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Ming Tianlei looked apologetic.

"Brother Ming, family members don't talk about outsiders. That kid dared to bully Ming Wei, so he shouldn't be let off easily. You don't have to worry about these things. Just do what you like to do." Rong Xianxian said soothingly.

"Sister, the people Liu Xin found have been to my store. They wanted me to supply them with goods at a very low price, but I did not agree. At that time, they offered such conditions, which were obviously bullying me because I was weak and isolated. Now that you are here, maybe we can renegotiate the conditions." Rong Xianxian and her friends had just arrived in the capital. Ming Wei did not understand their strength and was worried that going against those people would bring trouble to Rong Xianxian and her friends.

Ming Tianlei and his wife got married early because she was pregnant. Mingwei is twenty years old now. Although she knows that Rong Xianxian calls Ming Tianlei brother, looking at Rong Xianxian's young and bright face, Mingwei can't call her aunt or uncle no matter what.

"Since they are enemies, what is there to talk about? Besides, they are not necessarily coming for you. Mingwei, don't feel psychologically burdened. Now they are not provoking an individual, but our team." Rong Xianxian said soothingly.

Wang Lin also nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Brother Ming, are those people you brought before any capable?" Rong Xianxian asked Ming Tianlei.

"Only two of those people have good qualifications and can continue to study. The others have almost learned and can work." Rong Xianxian sent people to study so that they can work after they graduate. Otherwise, once the weapons and equipment store opens, if the goods are only sold out but not bought in, all the goods will be sold out.

"Very good. Brother Ming, please check the quality of the finished product."

"Don't worry, Doctor Rong. This is my job." In addition to the goods prepared by Rong Xianxian herself, Ming Tianlei will get a share of every weapon sold in the weapons and equipment store, so he will naturally take it to heart.

"Mingwei, you were alone in the capital before, and you opened that small shop out of necessity. Now that your father is here, and we are here, you can do whatever you want!"

"Sister, I like making clothes. I want to design the most fashionable and beautiful clothes in the safe zone, while also having the highest defense." Mingwei said with a gleam in her eyes.

Even though she has faced a life-and-death crisis, she is still a girl with love and happiness.

"While doing what you like, you can't delay your practice. This is something you have to do, just like you have to go to school. If you don't understand something in your practice, you can ask me or ask other people." Rong Xianxian had already instructed Ming Tianlei to urge Ming Wei to practice. The longer the practice, the more benefits one can feel from it.

Even the very common copied versions of the basic cultivation techniques were very expensive. Ming Wei had never imagined that one day she would be able to freely choose a cultivation technique that suited her.

Mingwei thanked Rong Xianxian for her kindness and left with Ming Tianlei.

"Sister Rong, what do you think? Just a few gangsters? Just let me go!" Wang Lin said again.

"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Didn't you say before that the four-star mercenary group has a public announcement process? Is our mercenary group famous in the safe zone? How come those people don't know about it?" Rong Xianxian was a little confused.

“Sister Rong, the famous one is the Flame Mercenary Group, and you, the leader, have never shown up since you came to the capital. Who knows who we are? Besides, the ones who pay attention to the information of these large mercenary groups are either the big guys from all sides, or the powerful cultivators who want to make a career. Small fry like them would not care about such things.” Wang Lin looked like he knew a lot.

"Chang Qing, what do you think?" Rong Xianxian turned and looked at Chang Qing who was silent.

"Although those people seem arrogant in their daily behavior, they are actually very sensible. There are not many practitioners in their team and their strength is not strong. They usually don't provoke other practitioners easily. It is a bit abnormal for them to take the initiative to provoke us now." Chang Qing said carefully.
