Chapter 1618: The Gift of Success: Interesting
Cheng Shici felt a little helpless. Zhou Zheng's ability was still a little behind. He had already explained it so clearly, but he still didn't know what to do.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Cheng Shici needed to keep a low profile and bide his time. He had his own goals and couldn't be too ostentatious.
If Zhou Zheng hadn't had an interest dispute with Cheng Shici and had to take action against him, perhaps Cheng Shici wouldn't have wanted such a subordinate.
Without him, the upper limit is too low, whether it is martial arts talent, IQ or EQ, or growth.
Although Zhou Zheng has already regressed to the second level of the Yunsheng Realm in the eyes of outsiders, in fact this is a secret method taught to him by Chengshi, which disguises his level. His true strength is actually the first level of the Fusion of Spirit Realm.
But that's all, there is no possibility of growth anymore.
Strength is all that matters, Chengshici doesn’t pay too much attention to strength, just enough is enough.
The key is the mind, which is really useless.
But what can be done?
This is the case in the Western Region, because the overall strength of the Western Realm is generally average, so if some geniuses or some warriors with outstanding strength appear, it will be extremely eye-catching.
The strategy I set for myself when I was born must never go beyond this.
Although it is easy to control those geniuses, it is also easy to be exposed, so Cheng Shici would rather not do it.
As for those who are mediocre in martial arts, but can attract his attention in terms of IQ and EQ, they are all shining in their respective fields. Even if their popularity is not low, he can't take action.
I can only find some makeshift ones myself and slowly train them up.
Zhou Zheng was one of them, and it took him twenty years to become somewhat useful.
Of course, Cheng Shici has more than just him, there are many, many people who were once inconspicuous but now have some status.
But these people under him are the same as Zhou Zheng in terms of strength and business intelligence.
Sometimes, Cheng Shici would wonder whether the strategy he had originally decided was wrong, whether it was too cautious or too slow.
But it was only for a moment. He knew exactly what he needed to do and who he was fighting against.
He sighed in his heart and explained Zhou Zheng's doubts. Although he didn't want to talk nonsense, if he didn't explain clearly, this subordinate who was not online might very well do something unwise, and he would not take such a risk.
"I just said that Wang Zhiyuan and his party are either arrogant or too stupid. If they are arrogant, then we naturally don't need to provoke them. If they are too stupid and have no means, but still arrogantly step into this vortex, then you are looking for death. You can’t blame us.”
"Have you forgotten? What they are doing is the task of Six Soul Grass. You know very well why the Chang family needs Six Soul Grass, and you also know equally well that apart from the fact that we don't want their family to get Six Soul Grass, this Juyuan City There are others who don’t want to.”
"Wang Zhiyuan and his party have stepped into this whirlpool. If they want to stir up waves in the seemingly calm waters of Juyuan City, it depends on whether they have the ability to withstand the waves."
"Now, more than just our family must know this news. How will they react then?"
Zhou Zheng understood and suddenly realized, "So this is it, the young master intends to borrow a knife to kill people? But... in Juyuan City, there are only a few people who don't want the Chang family to get the Six Soul Grass. I'm afraid they are all looking at you. If you don’t take action, will they?”
"Why not? If the Chang family gets the Six Soul Grass, is it a threat to my family, or is it more of a threat to them? They know it well."
"Once they find out that I did not take this matter seriously and did not touch Wang Zhiyuan and the others, they will definitely be anxious and will definitely take action to stop it."
"When the time comes, it will be clear whether Wang Zhiyuan and his party are dragons or insects. Do we need to worry about it?"
Zhou Zheng understood completely now and bowed and said, "Young master is smart and his subordinates can be taught well. Then we just wait and see what happens?"
"Well..." Cheng Shici responded, then thought about it and said, "In this way, send more people to keep an eye on it. If someone takes action, and Wang Zhiyuan and his party have the tendency to survive, then at the appropriate time , help them and get closer to them.”
Zhou Zheng asked, "Young Master, are you planning to use them?"
"Whether it is necessary or not depends on what they are. We only know some information from the periphery, and there is no real evidence to confirm their identity. Let's contact them and test them. If there is really no problem, these northerners Talents from different backgrounds can indeed be used." Cheng Shici replied.
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want my subordinates to think of ways to increase their efforts to investigate in the north?"
"Forget it, it's too difficult to detect information in the North. I've tried so many times before, but haven't succeeded?"
"And with the capabilities of the North Territory, if they really have ulterior motives, or they are other people pretending to be here with other purposes, even if we really go in and investigate, I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything."
"Instead of working hard in the north, it is better to spend more time here and find Granny Liu. She is the most direct evidence."
Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, young master, my subordinates have been looking for her since the first day they arrived, but until now, there is no news at all. Granny Liu just seems to have disappeared."
"Well?" Cheng Shici felt a little wary, frowned slightly, and asked, "As a doctor, Granny Liu naturally goes out to the city to collect medicine. Doctors have their own medicine collection points. Have you focused on investigating?"
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "My subordinates have searched for it, and to be on the safe side, they also sent people to inquire with other doctors in Juyuan City. Not only did they find out Granny Liu's herb collection point, but they also found out all the herb collection sites near Juyuan City." I have inquired about everything, visited all the places, and found the resting base outside the city, but there is no trace."
"Well... I heard that Granny Liu has been saving money before and plans to go to the north to find relatives. She is still very anxious. Maybe she went out of the city this time to find some more expensive herbs, which may not be at the usual herb collection points." Cheng Shici said
Zhou Zheng said distressedly, "My subordinates have also heard about this matter and have searched for it. Although the locations of expensive medicinal materials are not fixed, they are generally in those places, and at most they are a little dangerous. I have also asked those doctors and found out I visited some places and looked for them.”
"Let alone a human being, there is not even a trace of someone having been there, so my subordinates think that Granny Liu did not collect medicine near Juyuan City at all? Instead, she went to another place?"
When Cheng Shici heard this, his heart moved, and he showed a strange smile and said, "This is interesting. An old woman who has been practicing medicine in Juyuan City her whole life would actually abandon the most familiar area and go to other places that are completely unfamiliar to her. Do you think this is possible?"
Zhou Zheng was stunned and asked, "Young Master, do you think Granny Liu..."
Cheng Shici sneered and said, "If Granny Liu really encounters something unexpected, then I will feel relieved. At least it can prove that Wang Zhiyuan and his party are not disguised by Wang Dao and others. Wang Dao, a saint from the north, cannot kill people and silence them." thing."
"That……"
"Keep looking. If you want to see the person alive, if you want to see the corpse! If you can't find the person, find me a grave. Even if it is a grave without words, dig it out for me and see! We must know whether Granny Liu is alive. !”
"clear!"
