The call to action was issued.

Three extraordinary beings headed south that very day.

Led by Zhou Shenglong, they brought along two top-tier superhumans.

They were all strong warriors who had been tempered on the battlefield against the Iron Beast Clan.

Because of Yang Jinshu's personal connections and influence, he went south to deal with the Leopard Court matter.

"This concerns the restart plan, and important data cannot be lost. Before taking any action, investigate thoroughly, get the data, and then you can handle the rest."

Zhou Shenglong laughed and said, "Your Excellency, you don't need to go south in person this time; the journey is too long."

Yang Jinshu shook his head: "I haven't been back to my hometown for many years either."

Zhou Shenglong said, "Then we'll accompany you south, even if it's a slow trip."

Although Yang Jinshu was just an ordinary person, how many people have achieved success because of him?

Zhou Shenglong is one of them.

Extraordinary, different from ordinary people.

But every extraordinary being is transformed from an ordinary person.

Zhou Shenglong was once Yang Jinshu's bodyguard.

He will never forget this kindness, nor will he forget Yang Jinshu's guidance and recognition.

Given his status, even the current popes of the Mechanic Church treat him with great respect, and he had even met the pope once before his seclusion.

In the extraordinary world, Zhou Shenglong holds a revered position and is also a formidable killer.

He was a sword in the war.

They defended the north against the invaders, achieving remarkable feats and becoming pillars of the nation.

Now that he was going back to kill two little mice, Zhou Shenglong naturally didn't care.

...

"Ren Pingsheng, wasn't it you who contacted the Chamber of Commerce without authorization?"

Inside the council chamber, Jiang Beilu and Chen Chizhang personally invited Ren Pingsheng to come over for talks.

The two were now certain that the Chamber of Commerce's move south was inextricably linked to Ren Pingsheng.

The incident started because of him.

"What benefit would it bring you if you sent the Chamber of Commerce south to find out about this?" Jiang Beilu asked.

Ren Pingsheng sat on a sofa, crossed his legs, and said, "It's nothing. We are all just pawns in the eyes of the Chamber of Commerce. Now that you know, I don't need to hide it from you. The Indian envoy hasn't left either. You can ask him yourself."

Jiang Beilu shook his head and said, "I won't ask him, I'll just ask you, why exactly?"

Ren Pingsheng said, "Years ago, I was placed in a government department by the Chamber of Commerce. I never thought I would be able to reach the position of Grand Secretary. I have never participated in the struggle between your two factions. Logically speaking, our conflicts of interest are the least significant."

Both Jiang Beilu and Chen Chizhang acknowledged this.

The hawks and doves have been fighting for many years.

This struggle will be even more intense, especially when facing the Garden of God raiders.

Sometimes, the two sides would argue heatedly about whether to fight or not, even to the point of breaking off all relations.

Sometimes, they would secretly interfere and sabotage the important affairs of the opposing faction.

Ren Pingsheng constantly maneuvered between the two factions.

Everyone thought he was a seasoned veteran.

In reality, Ren Pingsheng was the eyes and ears of the Chamber of Commerce. He didn't need to get involved in the struggle between the two factions. He had to objectively view all the conflicts and gather intelligence.

“Restart the plan,” Ren Pingsheng said. “This is what the Chamber of Commerce wants, and it’s also one of my missions in the South China Sea.”

Jiang Beilu and Chen Chizhang exchanged a glance.

They possess a great deal of historical documentation from the Old World.

The restart plan is one part of that.

This needs no further explanation; all three people present understood it.

"Lingbi has always been huddled in the desert, self-sufficient and never expanding outward. This is because firstly, their resources are scarce and they cannot afford to fight; secondly, their factional struggles are intense, their regime is corrupt and hollow, and they lack centralized power; and thirdly, the plunderers are powerful and keep the desert people within the radiation zone, preventing them from going out."

"Over the years, the Chamber of Commerce has seen all this but never paid any attention, letting the desert people develop independently, waiting for the right time to wipe them out in one fell swoop and take away the data from the restart plan."

"Is this your purpose?" Jiang Beilu asked.

"It's not my goal, it's the Chamber of Commerce's goal." Ren Pingsheng pointed to the top and said, "These resources are free, so why not take them? I thought I could let the desert people mine, integrate, and even research them on their own, and the Chamber of Commerce would come and take everything away when they had time, just giving them some benefits."

"But unexpectedly, a great extraordinary being emerged from the desert, namely Qin Che."

"None of us expected that Qin Che would lead the desert people to defeat the raiders and win the Garden War, allowing the desert people to expand their territory by thousands of kilometers and take away their rich land resources."

"Their excavation work on the ruins has been going smoothly for years. Many technologies have seen significant development and breakthroughs due to Qin Che's presence and the concentration of resources and talent. Now, the time has come."

"The Chamber of Commerce needs data to restart the plan, and it needs the buried old-world technology chains."

"That's why things have turned out this way."

Ren Pingsheng pointed to himself: "I'm just a pawn. I did what I was supposed to do, and that's it. You can't blame me."

Jiang Beilu sighed.

That's certainly true.

The Chamber of Commerce has many informants in the South China Sea.

Sometimes it can indeed affect the independence of the Executive Yuan.

Why is this a city-state alliance system?

Clearly, one of the reasons is the World Chamber of Commerce.

Only such a system can facilitate the management of the chamber of commerce.

All five of them were outstanding individuals from various levels of government.

However, in the face of the Chamber of Commerce, they can only obey the Chamber's orders and accept its advice and management.

Chen Chizhang immediately regretted it. He should have agreed to the desert people's proposal back then, and if the two sides had opened up the technology earlier, there wouldn't have been so many problems.
