Chapter 105 Benefits

  When the news of Bodhisattva's manifestation spread, flights to the imperial capital Chang'an suddenly became extremely tight. One by one, the rich waved their banknotes but couldn't buy a seat, and the highway to Chang'an City was congested for over 100 kilometers.

  Military planes are constantly taking off and landing at Xianyang Airport, picking up officials from all over the country to bring them to Chang'an City. Some people even joked that if a nuclear bomb were to explode in Chang'an City right now, the empire would be instantly paralyzed.

  Quarrels, bribery, intimidation, threats... These are the things that politicians often do, happening all the time in Chang'an City, the capital of the empire.

  Five hundred years ago, the immortal Buddha looked down on everything, and all power operations revolved around the immortal Buddha. Even the Son of Heaven had to show respect to the immortal.

  Five hundred years later, the power of individuals is not enough to be surprising. Even the strongest and most powerful people can be eliminated by a single bullet, which is why we have today's political situation, compromise, cooperation and win-win.

  "This is the intelligence we've gathered over the past three days."

  Wang Zhihua's eyes were filled with bloodshot, but he had to force himself to tell the people present about the progress of the past three days.

  Things didn't go very smoothly.

  Wu Zetian hid in her own space, only coming out when she wanted to eat something. Although there were intelligence personnel who suggested anesthetizing her, who could guarantee that the one-in-ten-thousand chance of death from anesthesia wouldn't happen to her? Moreover, even if they did knock her out, what use would that be? As soon as she woke up, she could activate her special ability and enter a space with no gaps.

  Yu Xian Rong was calm, the imperial princess seemed to be in a state of ease, she only said that she didn't know what happened, just felt a heat on her body, then... She spread out her hands indicating that she knew nothing else, the royal family is now doing their best to protect Yu Xian Rong, and no one can do anything about it.

  "Wu Yuan is telling lies!"

  The speaker was a congressman who was flipping through Wu Yuan's file.

  Wu Yuan is the most cooperative and least cooperative person at the same time.

  No matter how he was asked, he didn't say a word and only requested to see his lawyer, Li Chengqian. Meanwhile, he cooperated with various physical examinations, the results of which surprised everyone.

  His physique is astonishing, as if a perfect pile of data. The activity of red blood cells is ten times that of ordinary people, and the bone density and muscle strength make scientists puzzled and say they must dissect this person!

  He cast the Six Syllable Incantation on that old soldier, but since then, he never revealed again how many times a day he could cast it, what was the best effect, and whether he had any other special abilities.

  To get this intelligence, he must be allowed to meet Wu Zetian and later not block his meeting with Yu Xiang and Wu Zetian.

  "Our current problem is whether or not to let these three people meet, and also whether or not to let him see his lawyer."

  Wang Zhihua smiled wryly and raised a question.

  To deal with the criminals, they must be isolated first, so as to get the most authentic intelligence. Now Wang Zhihua has to make a major decision, which also needs to be approved by everyone present.

  These people and those behind them are some of the real controllers of the empire.

  "Let them be together, the empire can't take the trouble."

  The speaker was an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In recent days, there have been waves of protests among the people, and everyone has been very passive.

  The people are suspicious that the country is hiding something, and there are even rumors that high-ranking government officials want to become immortal and establish an empire that will last for thousands of generations - an empire where the powerful control everything.

  On TV, various experts are verifying the lethality of Qi-refining masters, Foundation-building masters, how Golden Core masters can crash into empires, and how a Nascent Soul master can destroy the old world to establish a new one. Under the panic of people's hearts, they must find ways to suppress it.

  "If things go on like this and information is not made public, the empire will split from within."

  For example, a few days ago, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Chang'an City died in a car accident. The candidate for the position had already been decided, but after the Bodhisattva appeared, several large families vied for this crucial position, paying more than ten times the usual resources to compete for it.

  Sometimes, one step difference is a vast distance apart, and no one will give in.

  Even several aristocratic families on the imperial border joined forces and came to Chang'an City, demanding fair treatment.

  "Have you figured out Wu Yuan's personality? Let him see the lawyer, ask him what he wants, and find a way to control him and Wu Zetian tightly. Absolutely no mistakes can be made! Let the three of them communicate and meet, but don't let Wu Yuan manipulate the situation!"

  The person above spoke a lot of nonsense, leaving Wang Zhihua with only a respectful bitter smile.

  Braised big shrimp fragrant aroma hits the nose, steamed mandarin fish fresh and tender, cold mixed cucumber crisp and delicious, while fried peanuts with yellow rice wine is incomparably delicious.

  "Your chef is quite skilled, and she's also very pretty. By the way, she was the campus belle of Liuzhou University and the president of the student union. I'm telling you, Wu Yuan, you must keep a grip on yourself and not make any mistakes, got it?"

  Li Chengqian picked up a peanut and started chewing it in his mouth.

  He has been at the Ganqiao base for three days, locked in a single room, constantly being asked about intelligence on Wu Yuan, and variously hinted at, directly or threatened to stand with the government.

  If it weren't for his father taking him out to meet Wu Yuan not long ago, he might have been driven mad.

  But Wu Yuan was in a good situation here, surrounded by beautiful and gentle waitresses, enjoying the best treatment, it's really enviable.

  "Cheng Qian, stop joking around. You still don't know who I am, this was arranged by the higher-ups, and I didn't even lift a finger. Alright, you've eaten your fill, now it's time to discuss how we can benefit from this."

  Ten minutes later.

  "Is this your condition?"

  "Right, you discuss these things with the government, such as TV broadcast shares, my portrait rights sales, and how to get the most favorable tax reduction, etc. These are not small amounts, Chengqian, I'm counting on you."

  The most profitable thing in this world is being able to print money for free. And every big star is a more or less of a money printing machine.

  Sell portrait rights and broadcasting rights, attend banquets, perform in private concerts, and a large amount of money can enter the wallet.

  Now, Wu Yuan and Yu Xianrong are about to enter the interdimensional adventure and can live broadcast the entire process. So, what is the profit margin in between? Or, the licensing fee for this kind of live broadcast is worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!

  The people above are not fools, why did they detain Wu Yuan at the beginning and not let him see a lawyer, while teaching him with patriotism? The reason is very simple, this involves extremely large interests.

  Let's not mention the development of colonies, environmental positioning, and so on. Just a broadcasting right, portrait right, etc., is an astronomical amount of money. Moreover, this income is not a one-time thing, there will be more in the future. So why should Wu Yuan follow the government's arrangement? Only an idiot would give away a large sum of money that belongs to him for free and gain a reputation for being selfless.

  When you can go solo, don't think about partnering with others. And those who claim that money becomes useless once it reaches a certain amount are simply talking nonsense.

  One million can change the fate of a commoner, one hundred million is enough to buy off provincial officials, ten billion can start a coup in a small country, one hundred billion can fight a local war, and one trillion... Li Shimin had one trillion, with this amount of money in operation, as a prince he could become an emperor!

  Such a huge profit, who can give up? Money is equal to power!

  "My demands are not high, just normal, but those officials always think they can buy us off with a few million or tens of millions, this is unacceptable."

  One more thing, it's very important that Xian Rong and Ze Tian are not disturbed by unrelated people - I'll just say it straight out, the various handsome men arranged around them should not appear, I don't want someone digging at my corner while I'm fighting for life.

  At the same time, I hope that Qin Wang can intervene. For something like this to happen, there will be a committee specifically responsible for it, and Qin Wang should have voting rights and veto power.

  "Thank you."

  Li Chengqian nodded, Wu Yuan's words were of great help to Li Shimin.

  "These days, my father has been in a difficult situation. All sorts of people have come to visit him, some wanting to be his allies, some trying to win him over, some threatening him, and others asking him to see the bigger picture and do Xiaorong's work for her, so that she can devote herself wholeheartedly to serving the country and not listen to my words, etc."

  "What about Uncle Li then?"

  "My father refused the request to persuade his daughter, telling those people that Yu Xianrong is now a national treasure and they don't need to consider him. However, if anything happens to his daughter, he will definitely not let off those responsible."

  "Okay."

  Wu Yuan clapped his hands, this is right. Sometimes one must show their attitude, that kind of hypocritical and insincere conversation, is actually the most foolish behavior.

  In times of crisis, even your own people don't take the initiative to protect you, so how can you expect others to consider your feelings?

  "My father said he's extremely grateful for everything you've done for him."

  Li Chengqian said this sentence with true sincerity.

  "That's good, I was afraid Uncle Li would misunderstand something and it would be troublesome."

  Wu Yuan let out a long sigh, but it wasn't for Li Shimin, it was for Yu Xianrong. The girl had helped him so much, yet he had come up with an underage girl.

  Although he said it was for the sake of the promise he made to this body's original owner, in the end he still felt very guilty.

  "Cheng Qian, don't worry and go fight for benefits with Ze Tian and Xian Rong for me. Don't worry, with the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra, many things will become easier."

  Next, it was a series of probes. Those people would come to probe the power of his Six-Word Great Bright Mantra, and then start discussing terms.

  It's said that Wu Yuan recently read a certain book, where a divine doctor had the ability to heal with his bare hands. He was invited to treat an important figure, but the other party didn't believe him and put him through all sorts of hardships and tests. Only after the divine doctor repeatedly demonstrated his abilities did he get a very humiliating opportunity.

  This plot makes Wu Yuan feel egg pain, how can it happen? Love to cure, not cure roll. As long as the doctor does what he should do, the rest is up to the patient to decide.
