Back to Chapter List
Each vehicle was staffed with a brother from the Fenghuo Hall, and every brother was equipped with a radio pager and a video transmitter, enabling seamless communication. Should suspicious offenders emerge, they could instantly coordinate and collaborate to defeat them jointly. Indeed, when the offenders hired by Hu Xiaotian attempted to ambush a "I Want to Become a God" mobile two-yuan sales vehicle in the central business district of Hanhai City, the attackers were already surrounded by the concealed brothers from Fenghuo Hall before they even boarded the vehicle. "Stay where you are! Lower your weapons!" Facing the vibrant, resolute brothers of Fenghuo Hall, who commanded an imposing presence, the offenders, no matter how skilled, found themselves helpless. After a vigorous engagement, the offenders truly experienced the strength and effectiveness of the Fenghuo Hall brothers. Their actions were not only swift but also precise and decisive—delivering powerful blows that left their opponents shaken and intimidated. This has always been a phrase consistently emphasized by Gao Liang when describing the Fenghuo Hall brothers. Under the leadership of the three close friends, guided by the outstanding training from Gao Liang, these brothers are able to decisively deal with the unruly disruptive elements at critical moments. The other vendor trucks also remain unharmed, continuing their operations smoothly. With the weather extremely hot, many women who value their appearance eagerly seek out the premium summer attire from "I Want to Become a God, My Face as Jade," rushing to purchase. However, Zhou Quanxiong and Hu Xiao Tian have proven to be cunning—having failed to secure Gao Liang's weaknesses on multiple occasions, they now implement their final scheme: to identify women who have purchased the "Jade-like Face" premium garments, and once sufficient witness and documentary evidence is gathered, they can bring Gao Liang to justice. Indeed, they successfully captured one such customer, believing they had secured victory. Promptly, the Intermediate People's Court of Hanhai City, upon the complaint filed by Hu Xiao Tian, summoned Gao Liang, the CEO of the "I Want to Become a God" Group. Yet, Gao Liang appeared in the courtroom with an air of complete indifference. "Mr. Gao Liang, as the defendant, please explain clearly why you produced the 'I Want to Become a God' clothing line without obtaining the required production license?" One of the judges clearly appeared to have been influenced by Hu Xiao Tian—intending only to speak in favor of Hu Bao Group. Yet, our Gao Liang remained unfazed. These judges, it seemed, were openly accepting bribes—whenever money was offered, they would speak in favor of whoever had it. So, Gao Liang lit a cigarette, held it between his lips, took a deep drag, and then addressed the judges: "What evidence do you have? Any witness testimony? Any physical evidence?" "Hmph! Both witness and physical evidence are here! See how you handle it! Bring them in!" the judge urged. Immediately, a girl who had purchased the premium 'I Want to Become a God' 'Face as Jade' clothing appeared, still holding the garment. "Quick! Quick! Give your testimony!" Hu Xiao Tian immediately urged the girl. The girl promptly stated: "I bought this outfit from a mobile cart "Ha ha! Go on! Go on!" Hu Xiao Tian was delighted. At this moment, Gao Liang remained calm and simply looked at the girl, saying, "Look at me carefully. Do you recognize me?" "No! No!" the girl replied repeatedly. "Please take a close look," Gao Liang pressed on. When the girl gazed at him again, she noticed that Gao Liang's eyes emitted beams of brilliant light—light that radiated energy. Gao Liang possessed extraordinary mental strength, had already reached the level of a god, and his abilities were unparalleled. Under the intensity of his divine gaze, the girl immediately felt her mind go blank and exclaimed, "I don't know! I truly don't know!" This frustrated Hu Xiao Tian, who had been so confident—he had invested a lot of money in her, hoping she would firmly insist that Gao Liang's product was the one he had personally produced, and that it was an illegal product. All he needed was for her to clearly state that it was a product secretly manufactured by his own Desire-to-Be-God Group. Yet, at this very critical moment, he claimed he didn't know. Thus, Huxiao Tian roared, "Just tell me! It's definitely from his production! It was purchased right from the display cart at my 'Wish to Become a God' 2-yuan store! Tell me! As long as you say it, you'll gain enormous benefits!" The dignified judge, striving to maintain the image of integrity and impartiality, turned to Huxiao Tian and said, "Enough! How can you manipulate me into being a witness for your advantage?" Gaoliang actually knew everything. Yet, the girl still couldn't escape Gaoliang's piercing gaze—her thoughts were no longer under her control, as though someone within her mind kept repeating, "Speak from your genuine feelings! Say what's truly real!" The girl immediately understood, and presented the premium summer attire—her "Wish to Become a God" jade-like beauty piece—before everyone present, saying to all the on-site attendees, "Please take a look! On this garment, the production date, manufacturer, and production license are clearly marked..." "You're lying! It's clearly not!" How could you be so arbitrary and make up such stories? If you keep going on like this, I won't hesitate to take action. Hu Boxiang had carefully examined the premium attire from Yan Ruzhu before—he simply wouldn't believe the girl's claims. The judge, too, had been bribed and thus didn't believe her either. Yet, when the girl handed the premium attire to a spectator, that person exclaimed, "It's true! It's true! It really is!" The simple statement sparked a wave of excitement throughout the crowd. Immediately, many people rushed to examine it, all shouting in unison, "Indeed! This is exactly what I produced legally to become a god!" Everyone believed it—only Hu Boxiang and the bribed judge remained unconvinced. When the attire reached their eyes, both of them nearly stumbled to the ground. My goodness! It had not only obtained national production certification and quality inspection and verification from the National Quality Supervision Bureau, but also applied for and secured a national patent. How could this be possible? Just as Hu Xiao Tian and Zhou Quanxiang, along with the judge Wan Si, who had been bribed, were utterly baffled, and as Hu Xiao Tian was desperately shouting at Gao Liang, standing calmly on the defendant's bench, "It's impossible! It's impossible!"—a powerful voice suddenly rose: "Zhou Quanxiang! Look!" Zhou Quanxiang looked up, stunned. Standing before him was none other than his own immediate superior, the esteemed Provincial Governor, acting as the Governor. With trembling hands, Zhou Quanxiang took the several documents handed to him by the Governor. As he read through them, his face expressed surprise and disbelief. Yet upon reviewing them again, he could no longer doubt their authenticity. These documents were indeed production permits issued directly by the provincial government, accompanied by certification reports supervised by the National Supervision Bureau, clearly stating approval for production. Additionally, there was a patent application submitted to the National Patent Office. There are still many qualification certificates, all for products verified by the state, and backed by quality insurance provided by China People's Insurance Company. These products have been officially designated as consumer-trusted products. Why is this the case? Originally, when producing this product, Gao Liang proactively approached then Chairman Deng of the former Enterprise Reform Committee—known for supporting direct entrepreneurship—through a special green channel. Upon reviewing Gao Liang’s comprehensive feasibility proposals, Chairman Deng showed great interest and promptly handled the matter with special priority. He immediately filed a patent application for the product with the State Patent Office ahead of schedule, and, thanks to his authority, swiftly completed all necessary procedures. At the same time, Chairman Deng issued directives downward, entrusting Governor Dai Chuanzong with full responsibility. He also instructed Dai Chuanzong to remain discreet, closely monitoring the actions and movements of Zhou Quanxiong and Hu Xiao Tian. At this crucial moment, Dai Chuanzong presented all these documents, leaving Zhou Quanxiong and Hu Xiao Tian completely stunned and nearly collapsing. All of their schemes and maneuvers were now exposed. A bureau-level judge stepped forward and announced publicly: "Myu Cheng Shen's summer apparel is a legally recognized product and should naturally be available for sale in the market. Hubei Group has employed improper means, hiring unqualified parties to undermine our operations, and will therefore face strict penalties. Moreover, Zhou Quanxiong has consistently restricted, suppressed, and constrained the development of Myu Cheng Shen Industry Co. over the past six months—this violates national policies supporting ethnic enterprises!" The judge immediately ordered that Hubei Group cease all disruptive activities, while Zhou Quanxiong, for acts of favoritism and accepting bribes, would be removed from his position as Mayor of Hanhai City. A thorough investigation into his past misconduct, including past cases of corruption and favoritism, would also be launched.
