I'm a hang

Dragon City Center, Qianlong Street.

This is the financial center of the entire Longdu. There are dozens of offline outlets of banks and financial institutions on the streets less than one kilometer long.

Even in this apocalyptic wasteland era.

Money is still one of the most important themes in human civilization!

Countless people have taken risks in pursuit of profits, and more people have gradually lost themselves in the desire for money.

A towering building, just standing in the most conspicuous prime location of Qianlong Street.

Here is the headquarters of Zuo's family in Longdu - Zuo's Financial Building!

As the Zuo family who controlled most of the financial power of Longdu, their base camp was naturally extravagant.

The whole building has a total of 46 floors, including a four-story underground parking garage and a sky garden on the top floor with an excellent view, with a total height of 280 meters.

Various forces and organizations attached to the Zuo family all work in this building.

Through the hard work of several generations, the Zuo family has forcibly established a financial empire centered on finance and commercial loans here!

In the sky garden on the top floor of the building.

All kinds of vegetation are flourishing, and under the reflection of artificial waterfalls and lakes, it looks like a fairyland on earth, and it looks beautiful.

In a corner of the garden sits a huge villa.

The entire villa is completely made of transparent tempered glass, and the floor is covered with milky white marble. The antique decoration perfectly blends with the scenery of the sky garden.

The melodious music echoed for a long time in the room of the other garden.

In front of the clear black and white chessboard, Hu Haiquan, the city lord of Longdu, is leisurely playing chess with a grizzled old man.

"hiss......"

He raised his hand to cling to Heizi.

Hu Haiquan frowned slightly, as if he had encountered a dilemma, he hesitated for a long time but did not drop his chess piece.

"how?"

He raised his head slightly.

The old man smiled lazily, and Mu Ran asked: "This game of chess is only halfway through, and the city lord is starting to hesitate?"

"Hey, Old Zuo's chess skills are getting better and better..."

Shaking his head with a wry smile.

Uncharacteristically, Hu Haiquan withdrew his edge, and sighed: "My three-legged cat's chess strength is really not your opponent, so I can't accept it!"

The two smiled slightly, picked up the tea beside them and raised their heads to drink.

The old man in front of him is the patriarch of the Zuo family, who is jokingly called the God of Wealth in Longdu by the world - Zuo Xinghe!

"Life is like chess, chess is like life..."

Slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

Zuo Xinghe drooped his eyelids, and smiled silently: "The mystery on the chessboard is actually the same as how people do things. Everyone has their own methods and dispositions, but in the end it's all about the word 'win'... .”

"From this point of view, the result is actually far more important than the process."

He spoke slowly.

The old man in front of him picked up a white piece and slowly dropped it on the Tianyuan position in the center of the chessboard.

Startled slightly, Hu Haiquan raised his head and stared at Zuo Xinghe, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Early in the morning.

The servants of Zuo's family came to the city lord's mansion to meet Hu Haiquan, saying that they were invited by Zuo Xinghe's order to play chess and drink tea.

Zuo Xinghe is not only the Patriarch of the Zuo Family, but also the older generation of night watchmen who were at the same time as Hu Haiquan's father.

The strength of background and strength is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

It's just that the Zuo family has been unintentionally meddling in Longdu's affairs for so many years, which makes them seem very marginalized, so that the public has forgotten how scary they are.

Others may not know it, but Hu Haiquan knows it very well.

The influence of the Zuo family in Longdu is no less than that of the Juan family, and it is even likely to surpass them!

After all, they have been controlling the economic lifeline of the entire Longdu for many years.

said with no exaggeration.

If the people of the Zuo family stomped their feet, the economy of most of Longdu would collapse, and tens of thousands of people would be on the verge of bankruptcy.

At that time, Longdu will definitely be in chaos!

Therefore, facing this seemingly harmless old man, even Hu Haiquan, who is the lord of the city, did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

"If you have anything to say, Mr. Zuo might as well just say it."

Personally filled the tea for Zuo Xinghe.

Hu Haiquan said respectfully: "My father and Mr. Zuo were colleagues who were born and died together. When my father was still alive, my father often reminded me that I must be humble to the elders. Is there any dereliction of duty as the city lord? Please don't hesitate Enlightenment?"

"The city lord is serious..."

The wrinkles on his face were crowded together.

Zuo Xinghe slowly shook his head and said: "My old bones are already half-buried. It stands to reason that I shouldn't rely on the old to sell the old, but the current situation in Longdu has been a bit too turbulent recently, so I risked the world's displeasure and asked about it." Let’s talk about Longdu’s political affairs.”

"Mr. Zuo, please tell me!" Picking up the teacup, Hu Haiquan said calmly.

"The old man dared to speak out."

Smile.

Zuo Xinghe asked slowly: "Dare to ask the city lord, has the combat readiness department ever cooperated with Tianqin Metal Smelting Company to secretly research and develop artificial monsters?"

The teacup in his hand snapped!

Hu Haiquan's whole body was like being electrocuted, and he didn't move for a long time.

At the beginning, Longdu's combat readiness department and Qin Zhiqiang cooperated to develop the artificial freak project, all of which belonged to Longdu's top secret.

Except for him and An Gufeng who knew the details, the rest of the people involved only had a half-knowledge.

How did Zuo Xinghe know this secret! ?

"Hehe, Mr. Zuo is really powerful!"

Picking up the teacup and drank it down, Hu Haiquan joked, "This kind of dirty business can't escape your eyes..."

"The city lord has won the prize."

With a calm smile on his face all the time, Zuo Xinghe murmured: "Although the old man is old, he is not old-fashioned. Naturally, such a large project requires a huge amount of funds, but it is just for the youngsters under him to check I checked the direction of the capital flow and got some news by accident..."

Playing with the empty teacup in his hand, Hu Haiquan obviously couldn't sit still.

For 500 years after the cataclysm, Longdu has maintained a stable situation of separation of powers.

Hu, An, and the Zuo family are in charge of the three major powers of political power, military affairs, and finance. They not only cooperate closely with each other, but also share the cake together.

As long as it does not affect the stability and prosperity of Longdu, the three families will rarely cross the border.

But what Zuo Xinghe is doing now is obviously a little too much!

Thinking of this old man using the entire financial platform of Longdu to secretly spy on various confidential matters of the War Preparation Department, Hu Haiquan felt chills down his spine, and had a vague sense of frustration...

"This matter, don't bother Mr. Zuo."

Feeling a little displeased, Hu Haiquan said coldly: "Qin Zhiqiang has been eliminated by the combat readiness department. As for the laboratory outside the city, it has also been cleaned up by the children of the intelligence department. All the experimental data have been destroyed on the spot. Use any tricks to prove the truth."

"Then, maybe..."

Take a sip of tea.

Zuo Xinghe looked at Hu Haiquan with deep eyes, and said: "As far as I know, there is an artificial freak with self-awareness in the laboratory, which has long been living in Longdu folk by chance."

"what!?"

heard.

Hu Haiquan stood up with a terrified look, and made such a big move that he accidentally knocked the chessboard in front of him to the ground!
