Chapter 1612: Crisis Edge (First update, please subscribe)

No matter what you do, you need a reason and a purpose.

No one would have nothing better to do than send someone to hunt down an unknown person.

motivation!

“Motivation is important!”

As smart as me!

Zhu Xianhai opened his computer again and entered the keyword "Umbrella Company" in the search bar.

Umbrella Corporation, one of the 100 largest chaebols in the empire, ranked 117th among the world's top 500 companies. Its main businesses cover pharmaceuticals, biology, medical care, finance, automobiles, real estate, hotels, aviation, etc.

The group is headquartered in Zhongdu, with businesses all over the world, operating income exceeding 50 billion Mingyuan, and more than 100,000 employees...

It's definitely a behemoth!

The more he looked down, the more frightened Zhu Xianhai became. After nearly a hundred years of development, the current Umbrella Company has long become a behemoth, one of the 100 largest chaebols in the empire. This is both expected and unexpected.

Afterwards, Zhu Xianhai checked the composition of the board of directors.

"There are hardly any changes..."

Especially when he saw the three words "Wang Songping" written in the column for the group president, his brows immediately frowned.

Wang Yingjiu, Wang Yingjiu, what has become of your descendants?

"But what do you want to do?"

I continued to search, and fortunately, the "Qianbaidu" in this time and space is not as unscrupulous as the Baidu in another world. There should be no bidding ranking, nor so many advertisements or so-called self-media. Soon, I found another inconspicuous piece of gossip related to the Umbrella Corporation among many news.

“There are reports that the umbrella company is being investigated by the Gyeonggi District Prosecutors Office for its involvement in political donations.”

Then what?

The so-called investigation came to nothing!

"Was the investigation terminated? Or was there no investigation at all?"

Staring at this insignificant little piece of news, Zhu Xianhai muttered to himself.

"Political donations, investigation by the Supreme People's Procuratorate..."

Although there was no answer, Zhu Xianhai still smelled something strange.

As an emperor, he knew too well the information revealed in such gossip.

"First of all, we can rule out that this is fake news. No one would dare to joke about the official investigation of the chaebol. It's hearsay, so it should be true. But why is there no result?"

"It's not that there are no results, it's that the investigation has been terminated!"

“But who can stop the investigation of a prosecutor who has independent investigative powers?”

Prosecutors have always been a special existence in the empire. First of all, as a procuratorate, they are independent of the Imperial Executive Council. The Attorney General is not only directly appointed by the emperor, but his term of office is also completely unaffected by the changes in the cabinet. Moreover, the Attorney General has the power to order investigations of all officials who have left office, including the Prime Minister, and this is their power in itself.

Moreover, the Empire also implemented the prosecutor-only system, which means that if a prosecutor handles a case, he or she has the absolute right to investigate and handle the case. Whether to investigate, when to investigate, how to investigate, and how to make the final judgment are all decided by the prosecutor handling the case. Even if there are objections during the trial of the case, all the superiors directly under the prosecutor can only provide reference opinions and have no right to change the prosecutor's final judgment of the case. This makes all grassroots prosecutors have the most powerful trump card and become the key figures in deciding the life and death of the investigated team.

Why are prosecutors given such broad powers?

In fact, it was also a little selfish of Emperor Zhu - to constrain the civil service system and subject it to a certain degree of supervision. Because of this, the imperial officialdom has always been very wary of prosecutors. As everyone knows, they are...a sharp weapon in the hands of the emperor.

Since even the cabinet ministers can be investigated, let alone a chaebol.

"Who could have made the prosecutor, who has sole authority, abandon the investigation?"

Staring at the insignificant news, Zhu Xianhai frowned.

"If the prosecutor's independent power to handle cases is affected, then, in other words, the prosecutorial system is likely to become a weapon in the hands of others, rather than... the emperor!"

Suddenly, Zhu Xianhai frowned and his expression became unnatural.

In the imperial system he carefully constructed, almost every power is subject to corresponding constraints.

Ultimately, all power rests with one person - the emperor.

Whether it is the Executive Yuan, the military, the procuratorate, the courts, or the investigation bureau, they all ultimately belong to the emperor himself. However, they all have certain restrictions on each other to prevent one party from dominating.

"Who is so fearless of death?"

At this moment, Zhu Xianhai found that he seemed to have touched upon a huge conspiracy, a conspiracy that might even involve the empire's national politics!

“This is my empire…”

Faced with an unknown conspiracy, Zhu Xianhai not only did not feel scared, he even had the urge to try it out!

No matter what kind of behemoth he faces, he will not be afraid. After all, this is the empire he created.

Perhaps, Zhu Xianhai, who has traveled through time again, is no longer the emperor, but that does not mean he will sit idly by.

How could his empire tolerate others poaching his talents?

If anyone tried to destroy his empire, he would make them pay a heavy price.

"Umbrella Corporation..."

Staring at the information of Umbrella Company on the web page, Zhu Xianhai knew very well that the first breakthrough lay in this company.

"What is this?..."

Zhu Xianhai rubbed his temple.

This matter was originally confusing and confusing, but no one expected that it would be involved in an "imperial power".

Why is it so difficult to live a "relaxed and comfortable" life of a wealthy person?

Zhu Xianhai just felt like a tireless worker bee. He worked hard for decades the last time he traveled through time. Now that God has given him a second chance, he has to work hard again.

It is really not possible to become a rich man and live a comfortable life!

But... this is my empire, how can I tolerate it being interfered with by others?

"Life... Why do they want to take my life? This incident should be caused by the secret account. The investigation bureau should have discovered that the secret account was activated, so they came to me. But why did the killer come to me?... Moreover, the killer is here, so where is the investigation bureau?"

Suddenly, Zhu Xianhai sat up and tried to sort out the clues, when he suddenly realized a problem.

"Investigation Bureau, what is the Investigation Bureau doing?"

Until now, the Investigation Bureau has not shown up, which does not seem to be in line with the Bureau's style of doing things.

They should have sent someone, but that person might not have found me yet.

But how could this be?

They were the Imperial Investigation Bureau. If they wanted to find someone, that person would be dug out even at the ends of the earth, and Zhu Xianhai would never doubt that.

But why were the first people to come to the door the killers sent by the Umbrella Corporation?

Or should we continue the simulation?

After making up his mind, Zhu Xianhai said.

"system!"

The familiar interface reappeared in my consciousness.

…

Soon, the simulation ended.

Zhu Xianhai, who returned to reality again, did not speak, but sat there quietly. After a moment of silence, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, I need..."
