Chapter 58 Old Actor

"That's right." Li Ming sat upright and said earnestly, "Minister, they should be at the Silver Gray Star branch of Xingchuang Company right now."

Li Ming was not sure about the other party's location, but as a bounty hunter, after completing the mission, the first thing he would do was to redeem the reward.

Qin Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, then quickly released them: "Are you sure?"

Li Ming nodded. "Ninety percent sure. When I killed the sniper, I vaguely heard the words 'Xingchuang Company' from their channel. After returning, I recalled it over and over again before coming to you."

Qin Xiao nodded slowly, but his expression did not show much surprise. Xingchuang Company was an object of his high suspicion.

Xingchuang Company should contact him soon. If something is stolen, there will always be demands.

Li Ming's arrival allowed him to confirm this in advance, and he had an expectation in mind, and also had a certain idea.

He didn't say anything, but stood up and walked to the window. The city guards were very efficient in their logistics, and the floor-to-ceiling windows had been replaced with new ones, with only some scorch marks on the corners.

The night sky of Silver Gray City is brightly lit.

"What do you think of our Silver-Ash City?" Qin Xiao's voice came, very calm.

“Thriving…”

"Haha..." Qin Xiao turned around and laughed, pointing at Li Ming, his face suddenly darkening, "Wrong, it's simply rotten!"

"How many times have you been bullied since you were little? Has anyone ever stood up for you? If your father hadn't known Yang Peng, your school days would have been even worse!"

"Do you know how many people die from ash sand disease every year?"

"How big of a mess have the three major gangs in the outer city caused?"

Li Ming remained silent. Is this guy crazy?

Qin Xiao grew increasingly excited as he spoke, pacing back and forth. "You call this thriving? Silver-Gray Star is already terminally ill! It's utterly rotten!"

"What kind of person do you think I am?" Qin Xiao suddenly stopped and looked at Li Ming.

Li Mingsi said: "Highly respected..."

"That's not what you think." Qin Xiao shook his head. "You think I'm a hypocritical person who does nothing but sit back and watch Silver Ash City decay."

Li Ming was puzzled. What exactly did he want to say?

"Actually... I've been looking for a solution." Qin Xiao sighed, "Three major gangs are occupying the outer city. Are they strong? If they're not, I can handle it."

"But that's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. If we kill them, new ones will appear."

"They are not the root cause." Qin Xiao's gray hair was combed neatly, but now he looked like an old lion.

Bang! He slammed his fists on the table. "It's Star Creation Company!"

"No fool in the Interstellar Alliance would sign such an unrestricted mining contract, yet we did." Qin Xiao sneered:

"I don't care about the tricks of the higher-ups, but this time, the Interstellar Alliance review team is here, and they have the right to veto this contract."

"But we need hard evidence, lots of hard evidence... Star Creation is very smart and has studied interstellar laws in depth. On the surface, they will definitely find nothing."

"But, I have found a way to break the impasse." Qin Xiao's eyes were cold and sad: "It's just that the things have been stolen now."

Li Ming had already vaguely figured out what was going on. This guy seemed to be brainwashing me? Portraying himself as a... good person?

"What's in there..." Li Ming tried to say. Sure enough, Qin Xiao continued, saying something shocking:

"That's the evidence I've collected over the years of Star Creation supporting mafia organizations, bribing management, and suppressing public opinion on Silver Ash Star. It covers several members of the management committee."

It's indeed evidence...

Li Ming's expression changed, and then he stood up, the chair under him was overturned, and he said in a deep voice: "Minister, what do you need me to do?"

He thought that Qin Xiao needed such a reaction.

Qin Xiao was very satisfied at this moment. As a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old, who wouldn't be excited when hearing about saving his hometown from disaster?

He specifically investigated Li Ming. He had a clean background. He was bullied in his childhood. His temperament changed drastically after his father's death. He must have been suppressing some emotions in his heart.

Resentment, anger, helplessness...

Because of his father, his previous deliberate propaganda, and the three major gangs, Xingchuang Company is naturally an enemy.

Now, under his guidance, all the sources of pain have been transferred to Xingchuang Company.

A knife has taken shape.

"If you want to drive Xingchuang away, you must take that thing back." Qin Xiao said in a deep voice:

"In about five days, the Interstellar Alliance review team and the Blue Star accompanying personnel will arrive. They will definitely go to the Star Creation Company branch at that time. That will be our opportunity."

So he wanted me to steal it back... Li Ming suddenly realized and responded immediately.

"Minister, I'm fine."

Qin Xiao was very satisfied with his attitude, but also said: "Don't worry, you are not the only one involved in this operation. There will be many people cooperating with us. You only need to carry out the last step."

Tsk…I’m not the only chess piece.

"I'm willing to go through fire and water!" Li Ming said solemnly, his eyes determined. He then asked hesitantly, "Minister, now that they have it, won't they just destroy it?"

"No." Qin Xiao shook his head: "They want to threaten those affected. I used quantum encryption. They can't decrypt it in a short time."

"I understand." Li Ming nodded seriously.

Qin Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your information is very timely. Let me take a look..."

He checked Li Ming's information. "Well, you killed five F-class life forms last time, Feng Xiao killed three that time, and the rookie badges are converted to twenty times, plus the twenty this time..."

After Feng Yue's death, Feng Xiao's incident went from one F-level incident to three.

"So fast..." Qin Xiao was a little surprised and paused, but quickly reacted.

He asked Li Ming to wait here for a while, and soon he came back with a metal box and threw it on the table.

"Purple Lightning Bear gene seed. Your F-level gene seed should also be lightning elemental. This is just right for you."

Li Ming was shocked. "Minister, this... I can't accept it. The information I provided this time is just speculation and cannot be confirmed."

"No!" Qin Xiao pressed Li Ming's shoulder and said solemnly, "I believe you. Xingchuang Company will contact me soon. This is what you deserve. I won't treat my own people unfairly."

Li Ming's face was tense and he clenched his fists silently, seeming to be deeply encouraged.

If his contributions were calculated, he would only need a few F-level bounty hunters. Qin Xiao also realized this, so he went along with it and did him a favor.

He could also gain Li Ming's favor, killing two birds with one stone. Li Ming's emotional reaction was within his expectations.

After all, he is the Minister of City Defense, while Li Ming, whose biggest backer is just a small captain.

Faced with the enthusiasm of a big shot like him, one should be in awe.

Qin Xiao then added, "However, I will not publicize this matter for the time being to avoid alerting the enemy."

"clear."

This was exactly what Li Ming thought. He also didn't want to publicize it. He guessed that the group of people who killed Li Changhai should be back soon.

"The special training room is crowded and eye-catching. You can go to the 265th floor. I will give you permission. There will be no one else there, the training equipment is better, and there is an unlimited supply of nutrient solution." Qin Xiao said earnestly.

The 265th floor is the exercise room for section chiefs and department heads. It is said that the various equipments there are very valuable.

Qin Xiao was very thoughtful. If it were someone like his predecessor who had never been taken seriously, or a passionate young man like Li Ning, they would have already bowed down in worship.

pity…
