Chapter 1571: Can you swing it?
However, Jing Yuexin didn't intend to make a fuss about it, as the group of people who spoke at the beginning were no longer happy.
"We are talking among ourselves, what does it have to do with you... From the accent, you don't belong to the core circle, right?"
There were also quite a few people complaining at the back, four men and three women. Someone answered with a sneer.
"Is the inner circle so great? Among Digital Phantom, who is in the inner circle?"
"You guys don't even know about the disgusting things they do out there, and you still treat them as heroes?"
"They are a bunch of termites sucking blood from the empire!"
"Oh, damn it, I can't stand this anymore," one of the people in the previous wave stood up, "You want to get beaten, don't you?"
The person who was speaking on the other side sneered and shook his head. "Look, it's really pitiful and ridiculous."
Shui Xisheng couldn't help but look at Qu Jianlei: Boss, can we tolerate this?
Qu Jianlei didn't respond, but Jing Yuexin raised her chin slightly: You go and ask.
Shui Xisheng couldn't hold it in any longer. He had never been a quiet person. Just now, the main person didn't say anything, so it was difficult for him to step forward.
He stood up and coughed lightly, "Stop making noise, be quiet and listen to me!"
The one who was about to hit someone turned his head and looked at him. "Why did another one show up? It seems that everyone can act like a jerk... Damn, there's not enough water?"
He hurriedly bowed, "Mr. Shui, I was shortsighted and didn't recognize you just now. I hope you are so generous..."
Seeing Shui Xisheng nod, he straightened up again, looked at the group of people, and smiled coldly.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Young Master Shui is here now. He is the spokesperson for Digital Phantom."
"Come on, please tell me in front of Master Shui, how did they suck the blood of the empire?"
Upon hearing this, the four men and three women all stood up and looked at Qu Jianlei and the other two in horror.
"Just say it," Shui Xisheng said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, instead there was a hint of murderous intent.
"I just want to know what disgusting things Digital Phantom has done... If you can't tell me, don't blame me for being rude!"
The man opposite him calmed down and spoke cautiously, "Shui Group...Mr. Shui?"
"Well," Shui Xisheng nodded, and then said calmly, "I think no one in Panshi would dare to impersonate me."
The man calmed himself down and asked boldly, "Energy stone mine... do you know about it?"
"I know," Shui Xisheng nodded, frowned again, and then spoke impatiently.
"But what does this have to do with you? There is the Mining Management Department and the Energy Block Alliance... Is it your turn to nag?"
The man's neck stiffened and he shouted, "But the empire's tax revenue has been reduced too much... Am I wrong?"
"Taxes...tsk," Shui Xisheng snorted disdainfully.
The eight stars in the core circle are different from the remote star fields. Here, the government is very strict in investigating tax evasion.
But in fact, there is still a massive amount of tax evasion...or legal tax avoidance.
It’s just that those who are operating this are too powerful to be easily investigated.
Shui Xisheng also knew very well about the so-called Digital Phantom's tax evasion, and it could be said that it had little to do with taxes.
They just took some energy blocks from the unowned land and used them for themselves - the key is to use them for themselves!
Compared with the digital phantom, even if tax avoidance is reasonable, it is just taking advantage of tax policies and loopholes, which is no more noble.
Therefore, it is quite nonsense to openly talk about taxation within the core eight stars.
However, he had no intention of explaining this. There weren't too many people here, but there were quite a few either.
Among them there may be some fools who just follow the crowd, and there may also be people with ulterior motives.
He just coughed lightly and said, "If that's all you're saying, go find the relevant department to report it."
"If you understand their explanation, you will understand... From now on, keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense."
He didn't want to say too much, but the other party was not happy, "Do you think I haven't looked for you? I even looked for you, Shui Shao!"
"It's a pity it's useless. I can't see you, nor can I see them."
"It's good enough that you know you are useless," Shui Xisheng didn't want to save face for this guy at all.
"For major national events, there are naturally relevant people to worry about. You are useless... It's none of your business!"
Don't blame him for cursing - are you full of sense of justice? I didn't provoke you, why are you meddling in other people's business!
The man looked at him calmly and was silent for five or six seconds before speaking, "My mine was robbed by Digital Phantom's people!"
"Damn it!" Shui Xisheng's face darkened, and he raised his hands and clapped twice, "Surround everyone!"
There is less water nowadays, so those who travel have to be very aggressive, with sometimes thirty or fifty bodyguards.
When he arrived at the jewelry store in the spacecraft, there were only three people, but later a large number of people arrived separately.
Seeing that his entourage had the situation under control, he raised his hands and bowed to all directions, speaking loudly.
"My dear old men, you can leave after registering your identity... I'm sorry for what happened today, please give Xiaoshui some face."
"Digital Phantom definitely didn't do what he said, but Xiaoshui, I need to investigate it clearly."
"Please pretend you didn't see it. My people will send it as a small token of appreciation."
There were only about a hundred or so people at the scene, so it wouldn't cost much to give a little token of your appreciation.
The most important thing is that he has to write down the identities of those present to prevent the news from leaking out.
This gag order has more symbolic significance than practical meaning, but it has an extraordinary effect among the eight stars in the core circle.
People here like to brag, but they also know best what they can and cannot say.
It didn't take long to get rid of these people, only about ten minutes. Shui Shao's reputation was very effective in Panshi.
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin didn't say anything, they just watched quietly.
When there were only seven people left, Shui Xisheng had the other six people taken aside.
Only that man and the three people on Shui Xisheng's side were left.
It was only at this time that Master Shui lowered his face and asked coldly, "Did you do it on purpose?"
He is already several decades old, how could he not think of this?
The man spread his hands and said calmly, "Mr. Shui, I have visited you many times, but unfortunately I could never see you."
"Are you fucking sick?" Shui Xi was so angry that she cursed, "Why should I see you?"
The man was silent for a while and sighed, "My energy stone mine was robbed."
Shui Xisheng sneered, "Was it stolen by Digital Phantom?"
The man was silent and looked at Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin first: Is it appropriate for these two to be here?
"You have finally met the real master," Shui Xisheng said calmly, "Tell me clearly, otherwise I can't save you."
Hearing this, the man knelt down immediately. Fortunately, kowtow was not popular in the empire. "Please, my lords..."
"Shut up," Jing Yuexin said coldly, and then snorted, "Shui Xisheng, you seem to know something?"
She had originally liked this guy today. At least he called her "brother" and "sister-in-law" in a very affectionate way.
But now, she is a little unhappy - she asked you to act as an intermediary, which is a dereliction of duty.
Shui Xisheng smiled bitterly, "Sir, there really shouldn't be too many people looking for Digital Phantom all day long."
"The vast majority of people want the team to help them get justice... I can only selectively receive them."
Since becoming the middleman, he has been both happy and sad.
Many important figures who were never expected to come to me in the past not only came to me on their own initiative, but were also particularly polite.
But there are even more irrelevant people coming to the door.
The Shui Group’s heritage is not short, but its foundation is a little lacking. It is also in the business world, and believes in making money through harmony.
So at the beginning, he was not particularly strong in dealing with people.
However, because of this style, more and more irrelevant people come to the store.
Especially in recent years, Digital Phantom has been gradually idolized, and many people come to him for trivial matters.
Shui Xisheng was really annoyed, so he decided to avoid seeing anyone he could.
For example, this man said that his energy stone mine was robbed by the Digital Phantom’s people.
Shui Xisheng’s first reaction was: How is this possible?
He knows Digital Phantom too well. As long as you don't provoke it, it won't bother you.
So this has to be a lie, or else... then you did something wrong.
He had no intention of figuring out the reason, and after all, even if the Digital Phantom really robbed you - what does it have to do with me?
Shui Xisheng sometimes acts in an unconventional way, otherwise he would not have robbed Digital Phantom in the first place.
But as a member of a business family, he has a very clear positioning when it comes to doing serious things.
The Shui Group is just an external contact point for Digital Phantom, and he himself is just a messenger for this team.
Does the person who passes the microphone need to have his own thoughts? No! He is only responsible for passing on some important voices.
Whenever some unimportant message is transmitted, it is because the microphone is not smart enough and the performance is not good.
Therefore, he was not sure whether the man in front of him had ever asked to see him.
In fact, if these two hadn't been here today, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to them and would have just gotten up and left.
At worst, we can go back and check who sent this guy and why he openly discredited Digital Phantom.
In fact, there are not many people these days who dare to openly discredit Digital Phantom.
Otherwise, he doesn't need to worry about it. The laws of the empire are known to be iron-blooded, and that's no joke.
It is precisely because of this that he asked directly just now - did you do this on purpose?
So when faced with the boss's questions, he was not very scared and just explained his difficulties.
Jing Yuexin understood and felt that her good mood for the day was mostly ruined.
She looked at the man and said coldly, "I am Jing Yuexin."
"I don't care what grievances you have. Have you ever thought about the consequences of openly destroying the reputation of Digital Phantom?"
"Goddess Jing?" The man's eyes lit up and he spoke excitedly.
"I have no grievances. It is the robbers who are destroying your reputation. I feel it is necessary to inform you, my Lords!"
"Does anyone really dare to impersonate us?" Jing Yuexin smiled disdainfully.
"Just tell me what you want to do. If you want to use the Digital Phantom as a knife... don't you think you can swing it?"
