Chapter Seventy-Nine: Relying on You

  As he looked at Xiao An's hand holding that black gun, the entire scene suddenly froze, and in an instant it became extremely quiet.

  Those thugs one by one instinctively stopped in their tracks, each face filled with a look of horror, after all, they were flesh and blood, and anyone had an innate fear of firearms.

  And Black Panther brother was shocked out of a cold sweat.

  Because the muzzle of that pistol was straight at him, and Xiao An's eyes were also locked on him.

  That cold gaze made Black Panther's heart gradually turn icy.

  Tie Mo was also a bit stunned, he hadn't expected that Xiao An would have a gun on him. Although he didn't have much experience, at this moment he also realized that Xiao An's identity must be extraordinary.

  Yang Sen was directly stunned, no wonder Jiang Xu and Xiao Zi Qing were so confident, so calm, originally, these two people were not ordinary people at all.

  How could an ordinary person have a bodyguard with a gun, especially in China? How dare they openly carry a gun on their body and even take it out so openly.

  "Hei Bao Ge, he... how did he get a gun, is it fake?"

  Yang Daming's voice was shaking a bit. This guy is not only greedy, but also extremely afraid of death. Firearms are the greatest threat to this kind of person.

  The black leopard roared at Yang Daming in a somewhat irritated tone: "How the hell do I know, what kind of person that woman is, and why all her bodyguards are armed?"

  His pressure was much greater than Yang Daming, because the muzzle was aimed at him, which made him dare not move his body at all, for fear that a bullet would fly out of the muzzle and take his life away directly.

  Especially Xiao An's aura was like that of a god of death, locking onto him and causing his heart to continuously surge with an astonishing chill.

  "I...I don't know either." Yang Daming was almost in tears.

  "This time you really got me killed, I'll settle the score with you later."

  The black leopard glared at Yang Daming, then his gaze shifted to Xiao An's direction, and a hint of a smile appeared on his ferocious face as he fawned: "Brother, we didn't mean anything else, just passing by, we'll leave right away, okay?"

  The black leopard was directly convinced, as the saying goes, a good man does not take advantage of what is in front of him.

  He wouldn't dare play with his own life here. If the other side is serious about taking him down, he would really lose big time.

  "It's no use."

  Xiao Anna's cold voice sounded, and she directly cocked the hammer of her pistol.

  All he heard was a loud crack, then a bullet whizzed past the black panther's scalp, leaving a scorched mark in its short hair.

  Feeling the scorching burning sensation on top of his head, Hei Bao was so frightened that he almost lost control of his bladder and bowels.

  If the other party's bullet hit his vital spot, then he would probably be going to see King Yan at this moment.

  And Yang Daming, who was beside him, directly fell to the ground, and a hot current flowed out from between his legs, accompanied by a foul odor, and he had actually lost control of his bowels.

  "You have two choices: either leave lying down or follow me in to see someone, you choose."

  Xiao An's voice sounded again, the shot he fired earlier was just a warning to Hei Bao, otherwise, this time he could have shot into the very center of Hei Bao's heart with unparalleled accuracy.

  "I... I'll go with you."

  The black leopard was already scared, he didn't want to leave lying down, so he had no choice but to choose the second one.

  He responded with a sound and then walked towards Xiao An with heavy footsteps. As for his subordinates, they were all standing still in fear, and no one dared to make a sound at this time.

  Hei Bao was taken directly by Xiao An to an empty office next to the first conference room, where Jiang Xu had been waiting for a long time.

  Jiang Xu also saw the scene at the door, and the people brought by Hei Bao did make Jiang Xu slightly surprised. This was not some ordinary local snake, but a very surprising underground force.

  So, Jiang Xu directly used a voice transmission to tell Xiao An to bring Hei Bao to see him.

  As he entered the room, Black Panther's gaze also fell on Jiang Xu.

  The whole room had only one person, Jiang Xiu. He didn't need to think about it, the person who wanted to see him was obviously this young man in front of him, who looked like he wasn't even twenty years old yet.

  However, the black leopard did not dare to underestimate him. Being young does not mean lacking in strength, and often, like Jiang Xu, such young people have a strong background that is somewhat intimidating.

  Just thinking about it made Hei Bao regretful to death and also hated Yang Da Ming to half death.

  Jiang Xuan then glanced at the black leopard with a faint gaze and asked: "What's your name?"

  "My name is Zhao Paozi, friends on the road all call me Hei Bao." Hei Bao was already scared, and his answer was very honest, even revealing his long-abandoned real name.

  "Are you the local snake in this area?"

  "Yes."

  "How many people do you have under your command?"

  "There are over 130 younger brothers in the inner circle and nearly 200 younger brothers in the outer circle..."

  What is called the inner circle are formal younger brothers, that is, those organized hoodlums outside at this moment. As for the outer circle, they are all some unrefined small-time hooligans, and they just hang under the name of Hei Bao.

  Jiang Xu looked at Hei Bao again, and his seemingly calm eyes made Hei Bao's heart skip a beat: "Do you sell drugs?"

  "Nothing..."

  The black leopard's instincts wanted to deny it, but before he could finish speaking, the handgun in Xiao An's hand was already pressed against the back of his head.

  The black leopard's body shook, and he hastily replied: "I do, I do sell drugs, but my market is very small, only doing some small towns outside Ning City."

  Ningcheng's largest drug network is actually under Li Sicen's control, and small forces like Hei Bao are just drinking soup in the surrounding towns.

  "Not bad."

  Jiang Xu seemed very satisfied with Hei Bao's answer, he nodded slightly and said: "I can let you go, but I prefer to listen to obedient people, are you obedient enough?"

  "I will listen, I must be very obedient."

  The black leopard was overjoyed, as long as he could leave this place, even if it meant being a grandson, there would be no problem. As soon as he left this place, the black leopard would return to the mountains and forests, and he wouldn't care about anything else.

  How could Jiang Xu not see through Hei Bao's mind, and in fact, he had never thought of letting Hei Bao go so easily.

  With a flick of his finger, a silver needle carrying soul force energy shot out and directly pierced the middle of the black leopard's chest, hitting one of its three fatal acupoints, the Shenzhong point.

  The black leopard only felt a sudden jolt in his body, and then his body seemed to have lost control, directly collapsing onto the ground.

  At the same time, an indescribable pain almost instantly enveloped his entire body.

  The black leopard's eyes were filled with an unbearable look of terror, for the pain had made him feel the arrival of death. His breathing gradually slowed down, and he felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen at that moment.

  "Save... save me."

  The black leopard's voice was incredibly weak, as if it were a dying person, his body struggling powerlessly, but the movements becoming increasingly powerless.

  Jiang Xu simply looked at the black leopard with a faint gaze and asked: "Did you really listen?"

  "I listened, I really did."

  The black leopard didn't dare disobey because he was already afraid of this feeling.

  No one is not afraid of death. The feeling of this kind of death can make even the toughest guys surrender, let alone Hei Bao, who is inherently very afraid of death.

  Jiang Xu stood up from between the chairs, walked slowly to the front of the black leopard, squatted down and said: "From now on, you'd better come see me once a month. Otherwise, the pain you're feeling right now will erupt again, and at that time, no one can save you."

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Xu directly pulled out the silver needle between the black leopard's chest and abdomen. However, the soul force energy had already merged into the leopard's Zhongzhui acupoint.

  The moment the silver needle was pulled out, the black leopard's tense body relaxed noticeably.

  "I... I will."

  This time, Hei Bao thoroughly gave up. He didn't dare to doubt anymore, most importantly, he simply didn't dare to face that kind of pain on the verge of death again.

  "Alright, you can go now."

  Jiang Xu didn't bother with Hei Bao again and walked out of the office building with Xiao An.

  The black panther struggled for a while before getting up from the ground.

  The next moment, the black leopard's face was filled with an extremely ferocious expression, and in his heart he roared: "Yang Daming, I will never coexist with you..."

  Hei Bao was already completely afraid of Jiang Xu, and didn't even dare to hate him. So he piled all his anger on Yang Da Ming's body. And if it wasn't for Yang Da Ming, he wouldn't have come here in the first place, let alone end up like this.

  Thinking of his future life being controlled by Jiang Xu, Hei Bao had a kind of impulse close to collapse.

  The black leopard left, taking away more than a hundred subordinates, and also took Yang Daming directly.

  As for what will happen to Yang Daming in the end, I'm afraid only a few people will know, but he is definitely unable to appear again in Xuyang Wine Industry.

  Jiang Xu and Xiao Zi Qing also left Xuyang Wine Industry afterwards, and came directly to Jiale Beverage Co., Ltd., which is less than a kilometer away. Compared with Xuyang Wine Industry, the journey of Jiale Beverage was much simpler.

  The top management of Jiale Beverage doesn't need to change anything, Xiao Ziqing just needs to show her face temporarily.

  The situation facing Jiadu Beverage is almost identical to that of Xingyang Wine, with several beverage products launched under intense market competition, leaving little room for survival.

  But for Jiang Xu, this difficult problem was nothing at all.

  The spiritual energy can be infused into wine and water, and it can also be infused into drinks, the effect is just a bit different.

  A beverage infused with soul energy, although it can't emit that kind of intoxicating aroma that captivates the soul, but it can make the drink's taste incredibly smooth, making people want to take another sip after finishing.

  Especially some sports functional beverages, the effect of soul energy is more obvious.

  Soul energy is the best supplement for the human soul, and functional beverages that incorporate soul energy have an unparalleled huge advantage in terms of replenishing physical strength and refreshing the mind.

  Jiang Xu only needs to solve one problem and Jialu Beverage and Xiangyang Wine can quickly rise.

  And this problem is the mass production of beverages and liquor.

  Jiang Xu couldn't possibly infuse soul power energy into each bottle one by one, it was absolutely unrealistic. Fortunately, Jiang Xu already had a rough idea in his mind, as long as he could solve this problem, Xiangyang Wine and Jiale Beverage could immediately start formal operations.

  When he came out of the Jiale Beverage Company, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Xu didn't plan to stay in Ning City for long and left with Xiao Ziqing together.

  "Jiang Xu, are you really going to put both Xuyang Wine and Jiale Beverage under my name? Do you trust me that much?" On the way back to Lake An, Xiao Ziqing suddenly asked Jiang Xu, with a strange glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

  Before coming to Ning City, Xiao Zi Qing didn't think much about it. After all, the total assets of Xuyang Wine and Jiale Beverage added up were only half of Jin Cheng Pharmaceutical's.

  But now it's different, both Xingyang Wine and Jialu Beverage have shown incredible potential.

  Even Xiao Zi Qing couldn't estimate to what extent Xiangyang Wine Industry and Jiale Beverage would develop, the two major enterprises at that time, their assets will absolutely be thousands of times more than now, and only rising, not falling.

  This made Xiao Zi Qing's thoughts in her heart also undergo some changes, and this change was not because she cared about those industries, but because she cared about Jiang Xu's thoughts in his heart.

  Jiang Xu didn't understand Xiao Zi Qing's mind, so he deliberately smiled and said: "I'll believe you, even if you cheat me, I'll admit it."

  "I won't," Xiao Zi Qing replied somewhat discontentedly, but in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a thread of sweetness.

  "Since you've already said you won't, what am I afraid of then?" Jiang Xu's smile grew thicker.

  "But..."

  Xiao Zi Qing wanted to speak but hesitated, and didn't know what she wanted to say. Her cold and calm little face actually flushed slightly red.

  Xiao Zi Qing's captivating appearance suddenly made Jiang Xu feel a little itchy in his heart.

  He stretched out his hand and before Xiao Zi Qing could react, he had already grasped her small, white, tender hand in his.

  Xiao Zi Qing instinctively wanted to break free, but how could she possibly escape from Jiang Xu's palms? The more she struggled, the tighter Jiang Xu's hands gripped.

  Feeling the warmth of Jiang Xu's palm, Xiao Zi Qing's captivating little face suddenly turned even redder, and her heartbeat began to accelerate rapidly.

  "Zi Qing, I'm counting on you."

  A very simple sentence, yet it fully represents Jiang Xu's intention.

  Xiao Zi Qing's little face turned even redder, but her clear and cold facial features had already completely melted away. Jiang Xu's simple words were more effective than countless sweet nothings, making her feel an indescribable sweetness in her heart.

  At this moment, Xiao Zi Qing had already sensed that she would be unable to escape Jiang Xu's grasp for the rest of her life.
