Two realms! I have a Soul Refining Banner

Chapter 23 Sudden Death! Homicide Ruled Out

A dark, shadowy figure silently floated above Zhao Liheng's head.

Swish-!

The phantom instantly invaded his crown chakra, spreading rapidly throughout his body along with his heartbeat.

Zhao Liheng looked down at the dense crowd below.

He showed no fear on his face; instead, a strange, maniacal laugh appeared on his lips.

at this time,

He stared at the dazzling neon lights around him, a strange red light suddenly flashing in his eyes.

It was as if the person was being controlled by an invisible force, losing all self-awareness.

Whoosh!

Amidst the horrified screams of everyone downstairs, Zhao Liheng leaped into the air.

His figure, like a withered leaf, leaped straight off the rooftop.

Bang-!

A dull thud resounded as Zhao Liheng's body slammed heavily onto the concrete ground in front of the Emperor Nightclub.

It landed right next to the arriving ambulance.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining the ground beneath their feet red.

This scene,

Under the alternating illumination of the surrounding neon lights, it appeared particularly dazzling and made people feel uneasy.

Police cars and ambulances arrived at the scene quickly.

Medical staff quickly got out of the vehicle and began emergency treatment as quickly as possible.

The police immediately cordoned off the scene, set up a perimeter, and began their investigation and evidence collection in an orderly manner.

For a time,

The entire Emperor's Nightclub was in complete chaos, filled with noise and shouts.

After arriving at the scene, the forensic doctor immediately conducted a detailed examination of Zhao Wentao's body.

After repeated verification, it was confirmed that Zhao Wentao had no external injuries, no toxin residue, and was clearly intoxicated.

The patient suffered cardiac arrest due to excessive excitement during strenuous exercise with a hostess.

Based on the scene, the presence of aphrodisiac residues in Zhao Wentao's body, and his level of intoxication, the forensic expert ultimately reached a conclusion.

Excessive alcohol consumption and drug stimulation of the central nervous system can lead to a sudden myocardial infarction in a state of extreme excitement.

This was an unexpected sudden death.

Myocardial infarction is a disease that is common among middle-aged and elderly people, and it often occurs without any obvious warning signs.

Once it occurs,

It can lead to sudden death within just a few minutes.

Zhao Wentao not only drank excessively, but also took aphrodisiac drugs.

Coupled with the strenuous exercise with hostesses, the combination of these adverse factors made it unsurprising that he suffered a myocardial infarction.

Zhao Liheng's death was even more tragic!

After he jumped from the high-rise building, his brains splattered and his face was completely disfigured. He had long since lost all vital signs, a truly gruesome sight.

Police found syringes and residual drugs used by Zhao Liheng at the scene on the rooftop, and combined this with the testimonies of eyewitnesses.

When the ambulance and police cars arrived, everyone witnessed Zhao Liheng jumping off the cliff.

Police have preliminarily determined that Zhao Liheng overdosed on drugs, experienced severe hallucinations, and ultimately lost control, jumping to his death.

The deaths of the father and son were ultimately classified as an accident.

All evidence points to an accident caused by excessive drinking and drug stimulation.

After a thorough on-site investigation and interviews, the police ruled out all possibilities of homicide.

This sensational murder case was thus brought to a close, and no one bothered to investigate the hidden truth behind it anymore.

On the rooftop of the office building opposite the Emperor's Nightclub, Chen Jie calmly watched everything that was happening below.

His eyes were completely expressionless, as if he were looking at something insignificant.

He showed no pity whatsoever for the tragic deaths of the father and son.

Whoosh—whoosh!

Two dark, ethereal figures flew back swiftly from afar, transforming into two wisps of faint black smoke that silently slipped into the Soul Refining Banner in Chen Jie's hand.

Then,

The other two extremely weak souls were also timidly spat out by the main soul, and cautiously entered the Soul Refining Banner, hiding in a corner inside the banner and trembling.

These two weak, dead souls retained no residual consciousness or intelligence.

They are so fragile that a mere gust of wind could blow them away completely, reducing them to nothingness.

Chen Jie silently watched the two weak, dead souls within the Soul Refining Banner.

His face was expressionless, devoid of pity or emotion.

They were as if they were just two insignificant specks of dust.

next moment,

Chen Jie turned and disappeared into the darkness behind him. His figure was as light and swift as a ghost, and he quickly vanished from the rooftop.

It was as if he had never been there, leaving no trace.

That night,

There was another thing that happened that no one knew about.

The safe in Zhao Wentao's office vanished into thin air.

It wasn't stolen, it's completely gone!

Vanished without a trace.

No one could steal the safe from the office building of the Olena Jewelry Store, bypassing all surveillance cameras.

To know,

That was a safe weighing 800 kilograms; it was enormous and incredibly heavy.

It is definitely not something that one or two people can move.

But the safe in Zhao Wentao's office just disappeared without any reason.

The batch of raw amber stones stored inside has also completely disappeared.

In the days that followed, several key management members of the Olena Jewelry Store became suspicious of each other and engaged in infighting.

Everyone felt that someone close to them had secretly swallowed up this batch of valuable amber rough stones.

Former colleagues have become like strangers in an instant.

-

After what happened with the Olena Jewelry Store.

Chen Jie secretly pondered that he needed to find a professional to manage the amber rough stone business in the future.

He frequently travels between Blue Star and Canglan World, leaving him with little time and energy to handle these tedious business matters.

Zhang Heping was in full charge of the slaughterhouse's operations, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Therefore,

After a night of deep thought, Chen Jie made up his mind to recruit and build his own team.

He plans to hire a steady, reliable, highly capable professional manager who can work independently.

He was specifically responsible for the sales of raw amber stones, as well as the subsequent operation and management of the company, helping to share the pressure.

but,

Finding a trustworthy and knowledgeable professional manager who is also an expert in the amber jewelry business is no easy task.

then,

Chen Jie thought of Lei Yuan, the general manager of Huayun International Jewelry Center, and decided to ask her to recommend a suitable candidate.

Upon learning of Chen Jie's idea, Lei Yuan spoke without hesitation:

"Boss Chen, are you really planning to hire a professional manager?"

"I recommend someone to you, Wei Lang! Wei Lang is definitely the right person for you!"

"Wei Lang has eight years of management experience in the jewelry industry. He is steady, meticulous, and has outstanding abilities."

"He used to be the operations director of Olena Jewelry Store. To be honest, without Wei Lang, Olena Jewelry Store would never have been able to develop so quickly, nor would it have been able to reach its current scale."

"But that bastard Zhao Wentao is a real traitor who kicks away the ladder after crossing the river and forgets his benefactor. A year ago, he deliberately framed Wei Lang, falsely accusing him of embezzlement and misappropriation of company funds, and forced Wei Lang to serve a year in jail."

"Fortunately, heaven has eyes, and Zhao Wentao and his son have finally received their due punishment, which can be considered as getting justice for Wei Lang."

finished,

Lei Yuan then gave Chen Jie Wei Lang's phone number and repeatedly told him that Wei Lang was a rare talent and that he must make the most of him.

Chen Jie immediately dialed Wei Lang's number.

After briefly explaining the situation, we agreed on a time and place to meet.

Ten o'clock in the morning,

As agreed, Chen Jie met him at a quiet teahouse.

He arrived at the teahouse ahead of time and placed several pieces of amber of different qualities on the table.

Although Lei Yuan strongly recommended Wei Lang, Chen Jie had his own principles for doing things.

He wanted to personally assess Wei Lang's professional abilities before making a decision.

Wei Lang arrived at the agreed time on time, without being late at all.

"Mr. Chen, hello! I'm Wei Lang. Thank you so much for giving me this interview opportunity."

Wei Lang's tone was humble and sincere, and his demeanor was calm, composed, and steady.

Every word and action exudes professionalism.

This instantly made Chen Jie feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

Wei Lang knew in his heart that he had been to prison and had been unable to find a suitable job since his release, constantly running into obstacles.

Although Chen Jie did not formally hire him, he simply called him to come over for a discussion.

But in his view, this was a rare opportunity for an interview and assessment.

Therefore, he was filled with gratitude towards Chen Jie.

This shows that Wei Lang is a person who knows how to be grateful and cherish opportunities.

In the following time, Chen Jie and Wei Lang had an in-depth conversation about the amber business.

From professional identification and quality grading of raw amber to market price trends and industry operating models.

Chen Jie inquired about the details of raw stone processing, craftsmanship requirements, and so on.

in addition,

This includes matters such as the identification and management of distributors, inventory accounting, and daily inventory checks.

Chen Jie meticulously examined Wei Lang's business capabilities, mentioning each point in detail.

Although Chen Jie and Wei Lang only had a brief conversation, he was secretly observing the other's problem-solving approach and abilities.

During the conversation,

Wei Lang remained calm and composed throughout, answering questions professionally, meticulously, logically, and with a steady and measured demeanor.

He never boasts or shows off; every word he says hits the nail on the head.

Chen Jie knew perfectly well that Lei Yuan recommended Wei Lang because she valued his genuine talent and learning.

He was very satisfied with Wei Lang's performance.

A moment later,

He had already made a preliminary decision in his mind.
