Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1406: Chapter 1399: Outperformed

Climbing up to the third floor, Jiang Cheng took out a key and opened the door. Feeling a bit of urgency, Jiang Cheng walked directly to the bathroom. As he approached, he vaguely heard the sound of running water, but couldn’t quite make it out.

Could the faucet be left on? Jiang Cheng thought. After all, Zhang Mengmeng said she went to get something to eat and shouldn’t be back so soon, so it must be that the faucet wasn’t turned off. Ah, Zhang Mengmeng, what a wasteful girl. Thinking along these lines, Jiang Cheng pushed open the bathroom door without hesitation, but he was stunned the moment he opened it.

What appeared before his eyes was not an empty bathroom with running water as he imagined, but a stark-naked body! How big was his first reaction.

”Ah! Pervert!!!” A piercing scream broke through the air, snapping Jiang Cheng back to his senses. He quickly closed the bathroom door and backed out.

”I didn’t see anything!” Jiang Cheng added in a hurry. ”You shameless pervert!!” Zhang Mengmeng’s angry shout still came from inside. At this moment, Jiang Cheng’s face was flushed, and his heart was pounding. It was the first time he had seen a woman’s body at such close proximity! Though he had lived through several eras, he was still a bona fide virgin and had never seen such a scene; if it wasn’t for his strong physique as a Superpower User, he might have started nosebleeding, but even so, Jiang Cheng found it difficult to calm his mood.

And Zhang Mengmeng was even more embarrassed and furious. She, a virtuous maiden, had her body seen by a lewd uncle. If word got out, how would she face the world? Plus, why didn’t she lock the door while showering, but who knew he would come back so early!

Zhang Mengmeng stayed in the bathroom, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. But staying inside there forever wasn’t a viable plan, so finally, after hesitating for half an hour, she calmed herself down and emerged from the bathroom. Jiang Cheng was not in the living room, which slightly eased Zhang Mengmeng’s anxious heart.

Returning to her room to change clothes, Zhang Mengmeng couldn’t forget the scene of Jiang Cheng bursting in—it remained vivid in her mind.

”Forget it, forget it, let’s say it was just a puppy that saw me.” Zhang Mengmeng shook her head, thinking angrily. Although she tried to think that way, she couldn’t deceive her feelings.

As for Jiang Cheng, he slunk back to the company, planning to spend the night there. He knew it probably wasn’t suitable to see Zhang Mengmeng again tonight; otherwise, he wasn’t sure if he’d make it to the company intact tomorrow.

Meanwhile, inside the Hua Family headquarters in Purple City.

Seven old men were having a meeting in a conference room. Each of these seven exuded a commanding presence, revealing their aura of authority through every gesture. They were, without a doubt, the top figures in the Hua Family, and their meeting must be concerning vital regional development issues!

”What do you think of the request made by that boy Lang Pu?” asked the elder at the head of the table, the current leader of the Hua Family, Leader Ji.

”I know about this,” spoke up one of the remaining six elders. This elder was the same one who had ordered his subordinates to contact the media regarding Tencent Company.

On that day, he diligently investigated Tencent Company and his attention was swiftly drawn to one person, Jiang Cheng.

This individual named Jiang Cheng seemed to have materialized from nowhere; inquiries at the place of his household registration failed to yield any information about him, but the security department’s website did have his identity listed. According to investigations, before his appearance at Tencent Company, it was just an obscure third-rate small business, but ever since he joined, everything began to change. Various signs indicated that Jiang Cheng was quite extraordinary, according to the elder’s judgment—alongside Jiang Cheng in the spotlight was also Zhang Zimeng.

”Oh? Old Xu, you know about this?”

Old Xu nodded, replying, ”I had investigated this Tencent Company before, didn’t find anything unusual, but these two young people caught my great interest,” Old Xu said with a sigh.

”Two young people? Are they the ones who developed the specific killer?” Leader Ji inquired.

”I can’t say for sure, but it’s eight or nine out of ten likely, and based on my conjecture, the incident of the three major portals being hijacked a few days ago was their doing,” Old Xu stated.

”The thief crying thief? How interesting, these two are not simple at all.” Leader Ji remarked. Of course, he was aware of the hijacking of the three major portals as they were integral to the Hua Family, to each degree representing the face of the eastern region. When they were hijacked, Leader Li immediately tasked the technical department with solving it, but unexpectedly, the most elite technical team in the district couldn’t resolve it. Later, it was said to have been solved by an obscure company, that was when Leader Ji first heard of Tencent Company.

”Indeed, I sent people to test attack their company’s server, but almost got our firewall cracked by their defense software.”

”Is their software that powerful?” Leader Ji expressed disbelief.
