Chapter 611-Demoted

After heavily injuring the main force of the alliance army navy, the Shanhai City Navy disappeared once more. When they reappeared, they were at the two sides of Haiphong Bay.

The current Zheng He was like someone possessed by Shuo Qubing, and he purposely struck the enemy where they could not react. At the most impossible scenario, he dealt the most lethal of blows.

The squadrons on the two sides of Haiphong Bay were still rushing to gather; they did not expect for the enemy ships to appear behind them.

This strike was just too lethal.

The two troops of Zheng He moved like ghosts, as they swallowed up the enemy ships one by one.

The morale of the Annan region had fallen to its lowest point.

Of the navy near Haiphong Bay, more than 40% were lost. By the time Ouyang Shuo’s disguised troops returned, Shanhai City had controlled the entire area.

The players of Annan region had already given up hope on winning. Under the leadership of Ruan Tianque, they started to set up defenses at the harbour to ready themselves for the enemy’s disembarkment.

Unfortunately, they were destined for disappointment.

Ouyang Shuo was not in the mood to continue playing with them, so he simply left.

This country war had started and ended so suddenly. The players of Annan region waited on high alert for the enemies, but they only saw the boundless ocean.

“Alliance leader, it seems like they are gone?” After waiting for a long while, someone asked with uncertainty.

“Jerk!”

Even with the upbringing and well-raised nature of Ruan Tianque, he could not help but scold out.

“….”

The other Lords looked at one another; this time, the Annan region had made a fool of themselves. The enemy had treated the ocean region around them like his back garden, coming and leaving as he pleased.

3rd month, 10th day.

“For the arrangements of establishing the voyaging squadron and training the Raging Ocean Warriors, I’ll leave it to General!” Before Ouyang Shuo left, he instructed Zheng He.

“Lord, do not worry. Within a month, everything will be well-prepared.” After traveling down the pacific seven times, no one knew better than Zheng He regarding how to prepare for this trip.

As for the training Raging Ocean Warriors, Cai Mao would take charge of it.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, turning around to leave.

During this unintended country wall, Ouyang Shuo had obtained eighty thousand merit points, more than the points from one battle map. This was enough to explain that Country Wars would be the best place to gain merit points.

At this point, his total merit point value had crossed the five hundred thousand threshold, hitting just over half.

Apart from that, through this huge battle, Ouyang Shuo had obtained one hundred thousand reputation points. His harvests would make other players envious.

……

He only learned of the events regarding the Four Seas Bank after he returned to Shanhai City.

“Get Black Snake and Meng Zhida over.” Ouyang Shuo’s face looked exceedingly gloomy.

“Yes, my Lord!”

Bai Nanpu carefully backed down; he could feel the anger and rage of the Lord.

“Greetings, Lord!”

After a short while, Black Snake and Meng Zhida entered the reading room. Black Snake looked as expressionless as usual. On the contrary, Meng Zhida had a look of embarrassment and shame on his face; his expression even showed a tinge of nervousness.

“So guys, what happened?” Ouyang Shuo questioned in a low tone; his aura did not show a hint of his anger.

“Lord.” Black Snake was the first to step out, “Based on the investigations of the Black Snake Guards, this bank run started out in Chang An City. Thousands of adventure gamemode players, Chang An Night News, and the Four Seas Bank Chang An Branch Treasurer Li Wei participated in this matter.”

“You’re saying there is a mole; what proof have you found?” Ouyang Shuo’s expression immediately turned serious.

Ouyang Shuo was extremely sensitive about betrayals.

“Based on our investigations, when the bank run first started, Li Wei took matters into his own hands. He did not care about the words of the manager, and he did not report the matter in time. As a result, the situation escalated. The Black Snake Guards have found that he has some connections to the Yanhuang Alliance.”

Meng Zhida’s expression paled further and further.

“Where is Li Wei now?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

“He has already left the Four Seas Bank. However, we are still tracking his whereabouts,” Black Snake replied.

In all likelihood, Li Wei would not suspect that Shanhai City had such an intel organization with their eyes on him. As for the other members of the territory that were sent out, the Black Snake Guards would pay close attention to them.

Regardless of whether they were guilty or not.

They had to ensure that the Black Snake Guards monitored these people.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said coldly, “Immediately capture him and place him in jail; let the Procuratorate Division deal with him. Since he’s a resident of Shanhai City, he cannot escape the law system. If not, where will our prestige and might lie?”

“Understood!” Black Snake nodded.

Although Li Wei was an adventure gamemode player, he had registered in Shanhai City, and his resurrection point was in Shanhai City. Even if he killed himself, he would appear in Shanhai City.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo was not worried at all that he might escape.

When players joined the territory, while they were able to enjoy benefits, they would naturally face restrictions as well. Otherwise, how could the Lords keep an eye on them?

With this case as an example, we will start our lawful age! Ouyang Shuo thought to himself.

Seeing the Lord act like he would completely investigate this matter, Meng Zhida could not help but plead guilty, and he knelt down, “I picked the wrong person, please punish me, Lord!”

No matter what, he had recruited Li Wei. Since things had happened, he was to blame too.

A glow appeared in Ouyang Shuo’s eyes.

“Punishments are definitely necessary.” It was hard for Ouyang Shuo to hide his disappointment, as he said, “Not only did you fail to investigate the person you hired, but the Four Seas Bank structure itself has a problem. A treasurer of a branch could actually suppress an emergency without anyone being able to skip past him and report to the headquarters; such a preposterous matter.”

When Meng Zhida heard these words, his currently pale face turned even whiter.

“Men, receive my orders!”

“Present!”

“I decree, Four Seas Bank Treasurer Meng Zhida has failed his duty. Fine a year of pay and remove him from duty, demotion to deputy treasurer,” Ouyang Shuo stated.

“Yes, my Lord.” Pai Nanpu left to announce the decree.

“Thank you, Lord, for your benevolence!”

Meng Zhida had thought that he would definitely lose his job; he did not expect that he would not be sacked.

Ouyang Shuo said expressionlessly, “The position of treasurer will temporarily be in the hands of Director Fan Li. As for the daily duties, you will remain in charge. I hope you do not let me down.”

“I definitely won’t!” Meng Zhida teared up with emotion.

“Go down. Next, I need to have a committee meeting to deal with this.” Ouyang Shuo appeared extremely confident about dealing with this matter.

“Yes, my Lord!”

Looking back at the desperate back view of Meng Zhida, Ouyang Shuo let out a long sigh. His heavy punishment was to set an example, and it was also to give an answer to his allies.

After Bai Hua and the others invested in the Four Seas Bank, they had not interfered in the daily runnings of the bank. They had let the management team of Shanhai City deal with it. Since there was a mistake, they naturally had to take the blame.

If not, how could they answer the heavy trust of their allies.

As for the committee meeting, Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush to start it. Ouyang Shuo’s trump card was naturally the treasure he had obtained.

In the afternoon, Bai Xiaosheng accepted his invitation.

After hanging out a few times, the two could be considered half friends.

“Once the Lord disappeared, waves started in the wilderness.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled as he spoke.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, “When has the wilderness ever been peaceful? With or without me, it’s still the same.”

“Lord is too humble. Regarding the Chang An Night News, I have heard about them before. But with the strength of the Shanhai Alliance, I thought that it was just a small matter, and I did not deal with them. I did not expect the matter to blow over, so Lord, please do not blame me.”

As expected from a media giant.

The acts of the Chang An Night News obviously could not escape his eyes. Naturally, he did not tell Shanhai City because he wanted to maintain his neutrality; he did not want to be wrapped up in the battle of the two sides.

Now that he saw Ouyang Shuo, who remained incredibly stable and not panicky at all, he felt a need to explain himself to avoid misunderstandings.

In regards to the current Ouyang Shuo, whatever he did, others would read into it.

Ouyang Shuo understood Bai Xiaosheng’s actions.

As the media, one needed to remain neutral. If he was biased, he would be unable to get himself out of the situation. The main matter was that the cooperation between Wilderness Publications and Shanhai Alliance had just started.

Their relationship was not close to the point where they needed to tell Shanhai Alliance information beforehand.

“This was something that the Four Seas Bank needed to go through.” Ouyang Shuo laughed, “I have something I need your cooperation for.”

“Lord, please speak.”

Ouyang Shuo’s attitude was incredibly casual.

“I went out to sea to complete a huge task, so I hope the media can report on it.” Ouyang Shuo told him all about the treasure and the country war.

The more he listened, the more astonished he grew.

“The Lord is really magnificent.” Only after a long while did he react and said, “The Lord showing off his might outside has strengthened the name of our country. In comparison, within our country, there are people who are so despicable.”

He finally made his stance clear.

Ouyang Shuo could not help but smile when he heard these words. As expected from a media giant, he instantly understood what Ouyang Shuo was planning.

As for how to use this material to form an article to promote Shanhai City and turn the situation of the Four Seas Bank around, he was naturally the professional for this matter.
