Chapter 266 Identity Revealed, Ranking [3 Updates]
The head of the Feng family, who was still pondering how to escape from here, was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say?"
The Venus Group is currently the only company that can rival the Laurent family.
However, the Venus Group's activities had always been confined to Africa, and it was only in this year that it gradually shifted its focus to China, coming into contact with many families and groups.
Therefore, in the past, the head of the Feng family had only heard of the Venus Group's name and had not paid much attention to it.
It wasn't until his own business made a deal with a company under Venus that the Feng family realized just how powerful the Venus Group was in O Continent.
In recent years, although the Venus Group has frequently appeared with the Laurent family, the two parties are involved in completely different fields.
The Laurent family only loves money, and they only own banks, controlling the global economic lifeline.
No matter how large the transaction, the transfer of money in and out will inevitably go through Laurent Bank.
The Venus Group is different; it's involved in various industries, including scientific research and technology, clothing and jewelry, skincare and beauty, and more.
One is an ancient, world-leading family, and the other is a new generation of leading conglomerate; the two have collaborated extensively.
Many of the subsidiaries were acquired by the Venus Group and do not directly represent the Venus Group.
Being able to cooperate with the skincare company, Orenshi, was like a windfall for the Feng family head.
He never even dared to dream of having access to senior executives at the Venus Group.
Or CEO?
Are you kidding me?
Although the Venus Group has gradually shifted many of its businesses toward China this year, its headquarters and main operations remain in Europe.
The CEO of the Venus Group is an even greater mystery; no one knows whether "he" is male or female, old or young.
Other companies in O Continent speculate that the Venus Group may not have a CEO, but was established by several ancient financial groups in O Continent besides the Laurent family, to rival the Laurent family.
However, this claim has no basis, since the Venus Group and the Laurent family do not have any absolute conflict of interest.
"Are you kidding me?" After a moment of stunned silence, the head of the Feng family became furious. "If the CEO of Venus Group were here, I'd twist his head off and give it to you."
"Oh ho!" The third captain exclaimed in surprise. "You've got some nerve now, but your crime doesn't warrant death. There's no need for that."
Just as the head of the Feng family was about to say something, the interrogation room door opened.
Two people came in.
One of them, whom the head of the Feng family knew, was Nie Yi, the eldest grandson of the Nie family.
The two captains immediately clasped their hands in greeting: "Boss."
The head of the Feng family's expression changed drastically: "So you left the Nie family because you joined the One-Character Team!"
Only Old Master Nie and Nie Chao knew about Nie Yi's control of the One-Character Team.
This kind of thing is kept secret.
When the First Team is deployed, Nie Yi usually doesn't follow, and he rarely comes to this headquarters building either.
There are rumors circulating that Grandpa Nie kicked Nie Yi out of the house.
Nie Yi was always a man of few words, quiet and reserved.
He didn't even look at the head of the Feng family. He sat down on the sofa next to him and nodded slightly: "Yun Shen, someone is going to twist your head off."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Feng family suddenly looked at the man leaning against the wall.
The man was tall and upright, with a lazy demeanor.
With his captivating peach blossom eyes, Feng Liu was just like any other playboy in the capital.
Aside from being exceptionally beautiful.
The head of the Feng family was certain that this man was definitely not from the capital, otherwise he would have seen him before.
He suddenly had an unbelievable thought and exclaimed, "You're the CEO of Venus Group?!"
The CEO of the Venus Group, which has a presence across O continent, is actually Chinese?
So young?!
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen turned his head, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Not really, because I don't really get involved."
The head of the Feng family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, "How could that be?"
“It’s all managed by the subordinates.” Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes curved into a smile, his gaze cold and slightly hostile. “Oulenshi has canceled the cooperation, so you don’t need to worry about me losing anything. I don’t lack that little bit of money.”
The Feng family crossed his bottom line.
If their children don't know traditional medicine or martial arts, hallucinogens combined with other drugs will make it very difficult for them to escape.
Not to mention Feng Hua, who wanted to insult a young girl.
The reason the Feng family was allowed time to send Feng Hua to the hospital was to keep him alive, in case he died and the accounts couldn't be settled.
The second team leader, being very perceptive, pointed to one of the documents and said, "These are the girls your son has bullied over the years, and they've even caused three deaths."
“The death penalty is too lenient on him. Don’t worry, once he can get out of bed, the First Squad will treat him well.”
Compared to ordinary people, the Feng family is large and powerful, and they can suppress others with just a little bit of power.
Only the Yizi team dared to make a move.
The second team leader figured they should recruit new people.
If we really turned the capital upside down, we could find quite a few people.
But the problem is that we don't have enough manpower.
People are inherently selfish.
Therefore, even Nie Yi, in order to ensure absolute fairness, swore an oath to leave the Nie family and be loyal only to the Yi Zi Team when he joined the team.
As a result, recruiting for the Yizi team is even more difficult than recruiting for IBI.
"As for you, you don't deserve to die," the second captain continued. "Don't worry, we're only responsible for dismantling the Feng family's shady dealings. The remaining innocent members of the Feng family will definitely not be implicated."
The head of the Feng family could no longer hear what was said afterward; his whole body was ice-cold.
Like other families, the Feng family is not limited to his lineage. There will certainly be people who are happy when he steps down.
"Alright, you've met the CEO now." The second captain waved his hand. "Let's go."
He and the third captain escorted the head of the Feng family out.
Only Fu Yunshen and Nie Yi remained in the interrogation room.
Nie Yi spoke more to Fu Yunshen, asking, "Yunshen, have those people been found?"
Fu Yunshen didn't speak, gazing at the night outside the window, his peach blossom eyes slightly misty.
"We haven't found it yet." Seeing his expression, Nie Yi understood. "I really don't know who is so cruel."
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the matter concerning the Fu family remains a mystery.
Nie Yi paused for a moment, then said, "However, your emotions haven't gotten out of control recently, so it's considered an improvement."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen turned his head, smiled gently, and said, "Living in hatred doesn't mean I'm controlled by it."
He brushed the topic aside: "I'll be going back to Shanghai at the end of the month. If there's anything else I can help with, let me know in advance."
Nie Yi nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble."

The ISC qualifiers officially began on the 15th.
High school students participating in the selection competition all downloaded a special app from the official website.
In addition to the overall rankings, each country and region has its own dedicated ranking list.
The ranking refreshes every ten minutes and is based on scores.
Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue qualified directly for the international competition, so they didn't participate.
Others, like Xiu Yan and the top student in the elite class of Qingzhi High School, had to go through a selection competition to get the final spot.
Zuo Li glanced at the answers from the Chinese region and frowned.
Currently, China's total score lags behind that of other countries such as O and M continents.
However, the game started at nine o'clock, and only a few hours have passed, so it's too early to draw any conclusions.
Zuo Li had actually anticipated this as well.
High school students are already under a lot of academic pressure, and they have also said in their propaganda that the college entrance examination should be the priority.
Most students answer questions in short bursts of free time, so their scores naturally increase very slowly.
Zuo Li refreshed the overall rankings again and saw that the top ten were now occupied by several countries from O continent.
There was a knock on his office door at that moment.
Zuo Li snapped out of his daze: "Go in."
Ying Zijing pushed open the door and came in: "Professor Zuo."
"Ying, you're here. I'd like to ask you to help me with this problem." Zuo Li brought over her computer. "This was sent from the International Physics Center. I'm stuck on this step, which is preventing me from getting the final simulation results."
Ying Zijing leaned slightly forward, looking at the screen.
This is a question involving quantum mechanics.
She started learning this after returning to Earth.
Several hundred years ago, technology was not as advanced as it is now, but she had already conceived of ideas in this area when she discussed academic matters with Simon Brand.
It must be said that human intelligence far surpasses everything else.
"Wait a moment." Ying Zijing took the computer and began typing on the keyboard.
Zuo Li stared intently.
Ten minutes later, Ying Zijing clicked on the simulation experiment.
The progress bar started to fluctuate and quickly reached 100%.
Simulation successful!
Zuo Li's eyes widened: "They're out."
“Professor Zuo, I’ve marked this step in red for you,” Ying Zijin said. “Actually, you’ve already thought of it, you were just a little short. I also looked at your previous formulas and filled in the rest.”
She studied quantum mechanics for too short a time; if Zuo Li hadn't done the preceding work, she might not have been able to solve it either.
Zuo Li said softly, "No, what I lack is your long, thick, and non-falling hair."
"..."
“Tomorrow we will assign a task to each group,” Zuo Li said, touching his hair. “You will each need to independently build a physics device. Ying, I think you should stay and give the others some room to work.”
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
She nodded and left the office.
Zuo Li carefully recalculated the results again, and only after she had a thorough understanding of them did she send the experimental results to the International Physics Center.
**
night.
The score on the ISC leaderboard is rising even faster.
The top scorer on the overall leaderboard has reached 78 points, which means that the top scorer has completed the ten basic questions and 34 bonus questions.
This number is terrifying.
The second-place finisher on the overall leaderboard only has 64 points.
In the China region, the top scorer is 52 points.
This score barely places them tenth on the overall list.
After this ranking was moved online, numerous comments flooded the international internet.
Isn't China a major academic power? Winning IMO gold medals year after year, and ranking first in overall team score every year, why did they perform so poorly this time?
[The top school in China right now is the Affiliated High School of Beijing University, but it seems that's not good enough; it can't compare to Yilan Academy.]
[Elan School is world-class; there's no comparison.]
[I just want to know if China can produce even one player who makes it into the top three overall in this selection competition? The first place score is 52 points, is that all? Is that all?]
Another diligent day of writing 9,000 words. See you tomorrow!
I'm stuck on the outline again, let me sort it out TvT
Thank you everyone for your monthly votes and donations!
