Chapter 513: Chapter 477: Drawing the Sword

"Too cool!"

"Aaaaah!"

"I can’t express anything other than ’awesome.’"

...

The Danmu was filled with praise as well. Although ’Seeking Martial Arts’ was never short on such acclaim, every time, viewers would still be dazzled by Wu Power and utter the same reactions.

Hu Xing took a sip of water and continued watching.

What followed was the revelation of the truth by Xie Ming in front of everyone the next day.

"Damn, that chairman really kept it hidden deep."

"What kind of company is Le Yuan? Never heard of it."

"Human experimentation?"

"So there are really such experiments, human transcendence!"

"Anti-aging drugs, tycoons, financial magnates, seems like a lot of information."

...

Hu Xing was gobsmacked; he hadn’t expected this episode to be so explosive.

Next was Xie Ming yielding his position to He Ye, followed by the entrance of the four club bosses with their entourage. When Hu Xing saw Mo Qiang and the others strutting their stuff while the Shared Guardian Association’s executives were persuading He Ye to collaborate with ’Le Yuan,’ he felt stifled and helpless, just like how he had to obediently edit his articles despite being displeased with his editor-in-chief. Life can sometimes be so exasperating.

However, after a moment of hesitation, He Ye made an unexpected choice.

"We, as martial artists, abide by eight words."

"Rather shatter than be a whole tile!"

Whoosh! Goosebumps erupted on Hu Xing again.

In truth, every time he saw Wu Power pulling off imposing stunts on the screen, Hu Xing was impressed, but he was not a fan, feeling that Wu’s world was too far removed from his own, lacking a sense of connection. But now, He Ye’s actions deeply resonated with Hu Xing because what He Ye did, everyone potentially had the chance to do.

Life is full of compelled choices, so Hu Xing was very aware of how hard it can be to stick to one’s principles. He admitted to himself that he couldn’t do it, and for that, he greatly admired He Ye for holding onto his.

At this moment, Hu Xing’s fondness for He Ye soared.

In the Danmu, the reaction was similar:

"Love, love, love this!"

"Rather be broken jade than intact pottery!"

"Well said!"

"Stand up to them, no fear!"

"What a trashy company, so arrogant!"

...

With this, He Ye had gained a huge following.

And after He Ye’s shining moment, it was Wu Power’s turn. The one versus five bet emerged, and the Danmu was once again flooded with frenzied cheers.

Then came Wu Power’s solo performance, succeeding in one against five and drawing in a large crowd. In the end, Mo Qiang and his group left in disgrace.

Wu’s inhuman strength and dominance were fully displayed, attracting countless fans.

The video ended with a text segment:

"Hua Jian Security has successfully registered in Hua Country and is officially established. We are now recruiting nationwide. Interested parties, please follow Bo Yuan Company’s official website.

The mission of Hua Jian Security is to protect the safety of Chinese overseas and to draw the sword against all malicious forces with evil intentions!"

Watching those final words, as a media professional, Hu Xing felt there was so much to dig into, so much to write about—and it would certainly become the next hot topic!

"Now, there’s content to write about!"

After finishing the ninth episode of ’Seeking Martial Arts,’ Hu Xing felt a surge of inspiration and quickly opened a document. He began typing swiftly on the keyboard and drafted the title,

"Overseas Chinese persecuted, Wu Power draws the sword!"

...

That evening, the ninth episode of ’Seeking Martial Arts’ hit the trending searches, and four out of the top five trending topics were related to the content of the ninth episode. The number one trending topic was ’Wu Power draws the sword,’ followed by ’Le Yuan.’

The news of ’Le Yuan’ oppressing overseas Chinese and Wu Power establishing ’Hua Jian Security’ to counter it stirred up heated discussions across the entire network overnight!

The news was promptly covered by major news media, all portal websites, and social media platforms, where information and netizen discussions could be found immediately.

Detailed information about Le Yuan Biological Products Group was posted by many netizens online; however, looking at it from the surface, this seemed to be a giant pharmaceutical company with no apparent issues, showing no trace of connection with the Underworld. As for the investors behind Le Yuan Biological Products Group, there was no related information online, nothing could be traced.

To this, netizens naturally tended to believe Wu Power, and many of his fans even started calling for a boycott of Le Yuan Group products. In reality, most of the drugs produced by Le Yuan Group were sold directly to hospitals, making it difficult for netizens to directly boycott, but such a situation surely had an impact on Le Yuan Group.

On March 22, at ten o’clock in the morning, Le Yuan Biological Products Co., Ltd.’s subsidiary in Hua Country posted a statement on Weibo, protesting and warning against the ’Seeking Martial Arts’ variety show and Wu Power’s groundless slander of Le Yuan Group. They demanded that the ’Seeking Martial Arts’ production team and Wu Power personally must publicly apologize and clarify the facts online within 24 hours, otherwise, they would file a lawsuit against both parties and resolve the matter through legal means.

The statement from Le Yuan Group quickly spread online, and countless netizens commented below, the vast majority supporting Wu Power. Everyone was eager to see how Wu Power would respond.

However, until nine o’clock the next morning, there was no response from Wu Power and the ’Seeking Martial Arts’ production team, and they declined all interviews. This left the netizens feeling disappointed: Since they were prepared to confront head-on, why did they flinch in the first round?

...

Magic City, Le Yuan Biological Products Co., Ltd., a subsidiary set up by Le Yuan Group in Hua Country.

In the office area, the company’s employees were currently whispering to their colleagues about the latest incident.

"Wu Power seemed to have chickened out, right? Still no response until now."

"I highly doubt it. With Wu Power’s personality, how could he possibly chicken out?"

"But he really doesn’t have any evidence to prove Le Yuan did those things."

"Don’t they have proof? Haven’t you watched Seeking Martial Arts?"

"That’s just what people say; it can’t count as evidence."

"That is eyewitness testimony!"

"Do you really think our company is a giant of the Underworld? That’s just too far-fetched."

"Our company might not be, but you can’t be sure about the group company. Plus, there are so many things in this world we don’t know about. Without Seeking Martial Arts, would you have known about characters like Dark Clown in the Underworld? Would you have believed it before?"

...

As everyone was engrossed in discussions, a figure appeared at the entrance of the office area. Just like the headteacher walking into the classroom, the office quickly fell silent.

The newcomer was somewhat overweight, and his eyes swept across the room with the sharpness of an eagle. "What are you all doing?!"

"Is office time given to you for chatting?! Huh?!"

"Have all of you finished your tasks? It seems to me that you all have too much free time on your hands!"

"Since you’re so free, all of you will come to the office this Sunday for training and to have a good review of the company’s discipline!"

The room was quiet; no one dared to make eye contact with the newcomer.

A few seconds later, the figure turned and left the office area, and only then did people dare to speak.

"Damn, Old Bootlicker is really fucking inhumane!"

"Shit! Overtime on the weekend again, I haven’t had a day off in a month!"

"Damn, I promised my girlfriend I’d spend this weekend with her. Another overtime, it feels like she’s going to break up with me."

"I also planned to go out with friends."

...

As news of the overtime spread, there were complaints all around.

The man who had just spoken was the general manager of the company, Liu Zhu, and many employees privately called him "Old Bootlicker." This was because the company was a foreign enterprise with some foreign employees, and Liu Zhu treated them very differently compared to the local employees. For instance, the foreign employees never had to work overtime, nor were they ever on holiday duty, and they even had a separate window in the company cafeteria without having to queue...

For these reasons and more, the local employees were disgusted with him, hence the private nickname, Old Bootlicker.

Amidst the low cursing of a group of employees, Liu Zhu walked into his office and received a phone call.

"Boss!"

With a smile on his face and a flattering tone, Liu Zhu said, "Don’t worry, everything here is in readiness. Once the time comes, if Wu Power hasn’t publicly apologized, I will immediately sue him!" (Liu Zhu spoke in English, but it is written here in Chinese.)

"... He hasn’t responded yet, I think he’s scared. Think about it, what is the strength of our group? His clashing with us is like throwing an egg against a rock!"

"... Haha, yes, I understand, all right, rest assured."

"... Okay, I will handle it well!"

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhu, with a smile still on his face, sat down on the office sofa, about to ask his secretary to make a pot of tea. Suddenly, the secretary burst in urgently: "General Liu, there’s trouble!"

Liu Zhu frowned and asked, "What’s the matter, why the hurry?"

The secretary, sweating profusely, said, "General Liu, the inspectors are here!"

Liu Zhu’s face turned pale, and he stood up instantly: "What did you say?!"

Secretary: "The inspectors are here!"

Liu Zhu started to panic: "What are they here for?"

Secretary: "They said there’s a tax issue and they need you to go back with them to assist the investigation."

With a thump, Liu Zhu collapsed onto the sofa, his face drained of color.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Zhu and several people from the finance department were taken away by the inspection agency.

After the news was confirmed, the office area, where Liu Zhu had just been, erupted into thunderous cheers...

News that the general manager of Le Yuan Biological Products Co., Ltd. and related personnel were taken away by the inspection agency due to tax issues quickly spread across the internet. Before netizens could comment too much on it, another explosive piece of news arrived:

At ten o’clock in the morning, Wu Power and the Seeking Martial Arts team still had not made any public statements online, but the Hua Country Ministry of Foreign Affairs had released a statement.

The recent consecutive kidnappings and murders of Chinese citizens in Cape Town, Southern F had drawn serious attention from the Hua Country Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had already contacted the South African government, hoping they could quickly find the perpetrators and ensure the safety of local Chinese citizens.

Finally, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Hua Country would never tolerate any attempts to harm the overseas Chinese community!

Once the message was released, it struck like a thunderbolt.

Only then did the netizens understand that this was Wu Power’s real show of force!
