Chapter 917 - 346: Awaiting the Leader’s Decision on Punishment
Today’s online platforms are bustling like never before.
When Zhang Beixing saw that huge mass of media rushing to the airport with their long and short lenses, he already knew that the news of his return home couldn’t be concealed any longer.
He couldn’t tell which part went wrong.
Anyway, the news about his return was everywhere.
This news getting out didn’t really have any impact; Zhang Beixing just didn’t want his arrival to be such a big deal right from the start. It’s not like he had to be secretive.
He was always an upright and open person.
Yes.
That’s it.
But the subsequent events were somewhat beyond his expectations.
Didn’t know which rascal it was.
When he got off the taxi and appeared on the street filled with bathhouses, someone took a photo of him.
Not sure whether it was intentional or accidental.
Anyway, when the person posted that photo online, it became intentional.
It’s been how long, really?
Zhang Beixing barely walked out of that bathhouse street for two minutes and found his phone already buzzing with notifications.
Those notifications weren’t just one or two; they were on every platform.
Major marketing accounts started racing to publish this gossip.
Their headlines were increasingly outrageous.
[Minister Zhang just returned to the country and appeared near the airport’s bathhouse street. What does he want? The wildflowers of Europe still can’t compare to home!]
[Minister Zhang: In my life, there’s no escaping a Western meal.]
[A true man bravely faces his preferences without concealment; no wonder he’s the Bachelor of Northriver!]
[Reporters at the airport failed to meet Zhang Beixing himself; Minister Zhang appeared on a bathhouse street.]
[...]
There were all kinds of headlines.
Douyin, Kuaishou, Toutiao.
A plethora of gossip, and Zhang Beixing dominated the trending searches.
Right now, it’s like, the brother doesn’t show up, but the entire pugilist world is filled with his legends.
Zhang Beixing looked at the messages on his phone, his face twitching repeatedly.
Sometimes, people just really want to go crazy.
He wanted to rush into those marketing companies and drag out every single editor who wrote these articles for a beating.
None of them should even think about escaping.
Absolutely incorrigible!
"Really unlucky, isn’t it just because the money came too fast and there’s no time to transition?"
"I had only fifty bucks on me, how did this lousy driver end up dropping me off here, it’s just ridiculous."
After a few complaints, Zhang Beixing didn’t say much more.
All previous plans were canceled, and now he was heading straight to the Ninth Bureau Special Training Center.
He couldn’t make any stops.
Otherwise, he really couldn’t explain it.
Rushing to the Ninth Bureau’s headquarters now would still be in time, and by then, he would just need to declare that he was merely passing by.
Isn’t it common to be passing by?
Don’t believe it?
If you don’t believe it, just check the time; bringing up two surveillance videos would make it clear, as long as the timings match up.
From the time he entered the bathhouse street to the time he left, it was so short, enough to prove that he wasn’t messing around.
After all, someone like him, how could he possibly run out of stamina?
...
...
...
Once things were in line with the plan.
The efficiency skyrocketed.
Zhang Beixing traveled from the bathhouse street near the airport to the Ninth Bureau’s headquarters, covering nearly 20 kilometers, in just barely over ten minutes on foot.
Now when Zhang Beixing is on the move, as long as the road isn’t crowded with people, he doesn’t even bother with pretending to walk slowly.
He directly performs the art of Shrinking the Ground to Inches, speeding along with such quickness that he’s practically leaving afterimages.
Ever since becoming a Transcendent, Zhang Beixing’s collection of minor skills has only grown.
There’s no end to their use, not even close.
Especially after entering the second stage of being Transcendent.
Zhang Beixing felt a mysterious sense of affinity with the world around him.
It felt as if he could control everything?
He had a vague sense that if he truly reached the end of the Transcendent path, he might eventually transcend beyond the realm of carbon-based life.
In the terms of cultivation, that would be an instantaneous Ascension!
As it stands now, Zhang Beixing already has this feeling of almost transforming into a celestial being.
His current physical capabilities can hardly be called human.
Almost at the level of Ancient Exotic Beasts.
Even a missile with somewhat lower power wouldn’t threaten him anymore.
As of now, he can still just barely be considered a mortal being.
He can still be considered flesh and blood.
Perhaps going up another one or two steps, that might no longer be the case...
The Ninth Bureau has arrived.
Zhang Beixing quietly looked at the massive entrance.
"The esteemed Minister Zhang has finally returned to his loyal Ninth Bureau, it’s truly wonderful."
Zhang Beixing dubbed himself with this line, yes, full of grandeur, quite nice.
The two security guards at the entrance suppressed their laughter, holding it in.
Suppressing laughter is really tough for them as they’re professionals and generally, they wouldn’t laugh.
But right now, it was really hard to hold it in!
Just when Zhang Beixing appeared at the entrance, they had already lost their composure due to being on duty.
Who would’ve known they’d still have to suppress their laughter now!
Zhang Beixing didn’t acknowledge these two guys; their expressions were all too clear to him, and he couldn’t be bothered with these unappreciative fellows.
