Chapter 878 Galland Laboratory

On his way to the Jiang family, Chen Guan kept thinking about how to persuade them about this matter.

For a large family like the Jiang family, the chances of winning by appealing to emotions are extremely slim, especially since the Jiang family members who are on good terms with him are not the real decision-makers in the Jiang family at present.

The Xiu family must have tried to persuade the higher-ups in the Jiang family, even using all sorts of methods, but ultimately failed, which is why they came to Chen Guan.

"I wonder what interests the Jiang family had in mind that prevented them from supporting the Xiu family?" Chen Guan needed to figure this out before he could persuade the Jiang family.

What Chen Guan didn't understand was why Xiu Jieming thought that as long as he went to the Jiang family as an intermediary, the Jiang family would agree?
For such a large family, the interests of the family or its higher-ups are paramount. They would not change their minds on such a major issue simply because of their relationship with Jiang Qiemo and Jiang Tianqing.

Unable to figure out the key point for the time being, Chen Guan had no choice but to go to the Jiang family first.

This was Chen Guan's first visit to the Jiang family, and this time he came openly and legitimately as Chen Guan.

Although there are some risks, it is unavoidable.

If one has to conceal one's identity and shows no sincerity whatsoever, how can one possibly persuade the Jiang family?

Fortunately, Chen Guan is now at the peak of the Eighth Awakening, and his true combat strength is even stronger than many Ninth Awakenings. His ability to protect himself is also top-notch, so he has nothing to fear.

When Chen Guan arrived at the Jiang family's residence, he introduced himself and explained his purpose. He was quickly received by someone.

Not long after arriving at the reception room, Jiang Tianqing strode in.

Having not seen him for years, Jiang Tianqing looks like he has completely lost his youthful appearance, even though he is not particularly old and looks young.

But he has a mature middle-aged feel about him, making him seem much older than his peers.

"Qiemo went to Dadongtian. I've already sent someone to look for him there. I hope he hasn't gone too far from the city." Jiang Tianqing pulled up a chair and sat down next to Chen Guan, looking him over and saying, "You haven't changed at all over the years."

"You've changed quite a bit; I almost didn't recognize you just now." Chen Guan didn't say anything polite.

Although his relationship with Jiang Tianqing wasn't as good as Jiang Qiemo's, they were still quite familiar with each other and there was no need for them to hide it.

Jiang Tianqing touched his face and laughed, "There's no way around it. I've started to take over the family affairs step by step. There are a lot of miscellaneous things and complicated interpersonal relationships that need to be sorted out. There are also a lot of trivial matters that need to be resolved. My hair is almost turning white from worry."

Chen Guan knew that Jiang Tianqing's words were half true and half false. As a candidate for the future head of the Jiang family, he would definitely have many things to deal with, but they would not all be trivial matters.

"Then I'm afraid this matter will cause you more trouble," Chen Guan said, stating his purpose directly.

Jiang Tianqing smiled and said, "When I heard you were here, I guessed what was going on. I felt there was something wrong with your battle with Xiu Jieming back then. When the Xiu family pushed Xiu Jieming out to run for election, I figured out what was going on."

"However, this matter is not easy to handle. Our family originally didn't care who the presiding judge was, but Judge Qi gave our family a reason that we couldn't refuse him, so it will probably be difficult to persuade the family head and the higher-ups to switch their support to Xiu Jieming."

"Can you tell me what Judge Qi gave me?" Chen Guan asked.

“Outsiders are naturally not an option, but you are not an outsider.” Jiang Tianqing paused before saying, “Judge Qi gave all the data and results from the Galland Laboratory to our Jiang family.”

Chen Guan was somewhat surprised to hear this. The Galland Laboratory was the most important laboratory in the ancestral court. It mainly researched composite techniques, and many of the composite techniques popular in China today originated from there.

Of course, the popular composite technologies are just some low-end products produced by Galland Laboratories. The real high-end composite technologies are only provided to the senior management of the Chief Justice's faction.

When Chen Guan was in the Heavenly Court Army, the Heavenly Court Army soldiers used composite skills and troop skills, most of which came from the Galland Laboratory.

Since the ancestral court lacks the foundation of the ten major families, it can only take shortcuts to quickly accumulate sufficient strength, and the composite technique is undoubtedly the biggest shortcut.

Speaking of which, this Galland Laboratory was established after Chen Xinghe infiltrated the ancestral temple.

Because Chen Xinghe is the one who truly made people realize how powerful compound techniques are. Before Chen Xinghe, the development of compound techniques was not as explosive as it is now.

Combination skills are criticized for consuming too much energy and causing problems when used by multiple people; they are mostly used as ultimate moves.

After that, Zuting integrated several original compound technology laboratories and established the Galland Laboratory, which has since launched many classic compound technologies.

Because Qi Tianxin invested a huge amount in the Galland Laboratory, if we only talk about the results, it has more than the composite technology research results of the ten major families, making it the world's top composite technology laboratory.

Qi Tianxin actually revealed this trump card and gave it directly to the Jiang family, which shows that Chief Qi's current situation is not very good.

He probably never imagined that the Heavenly Army, which he had been scheming against, would fall, and that the suppressed Xiu family would actually stand against him and compete with him for the position of Chief Justice.

If Qi Tianxin had known this would happen, he probably would have directly given the position of commander of the Heavenly Army to the Xiu family.

However, even without the Xiu family, the Qin and Chu families would probably nominate someone else to compete with Qi Tianxin, because they are already dissatisfied with him and cannot allow him to continue sitting in this position. This is an inevitable outcome.

Chen Guan was at a loss for words. He couldn't offer a bargaining chip like the Galland Laboratory to persuade the Jiang family, and neither could the Xiu family.

It's fair to say that none of the top ten families could offer a bargaining chip like Galland Laboratories.

Jiang Tianqing continued, "The predecessor of the Galland Laboratory was several composite technology laboratories established by Chief Qi and Commander Ji Changchun after they took over the Ancestral Court. Later, after the Great Demon King attacked the Ancestral Court, Qi Tianxin and Ji Changchun paid more attention to composite technology and integrated those laboratories into the Galland Laboratory."

"If it were just an ordinary composite technology laboratory, it wouldn't be enough to impress the higher-ups of our Jiang family. But this Galland Laboratory obtained the composite technology formula left behind by the Great Demon King in the ancestral temple from the very beginning. Many of their research results are also related to this... You know... the Great Demon King's composite technology... it's hard to refuse..."

Jiang Tianqing said longingly, "That was a powerful figure who conquered the ancestral court with just his combined skills. It took the combined efforts of our ten great families to drive him out of the ancestral court. He was a legend of an era and a representative figure who had mastered the combined skills."

Only then did Chen Guan realize that this Galland Laboratory actually had such a relationship with Chen Xinghe.

Although Chen Guan possesses the true secret compound technique passed down by Chen Xinghe, he cannot reveal it to the Jiang family, as it would be too easy to expose his identity.

When Chen Guan heard Jiang Tianqing mention Commander Ji Changchun, he felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Commander Ji Changchun was Qi Tingchang's partner in fighting alongside him. He was Qi Tingchang's right-hand man and had always led the Heavenly Army. However, due to his advanced age, he gradually faded from public view and has now retired to enjoy his old age.
