Before this, Wang Shengzhi had not approached the Zhou Consortium and the Kong Consortium to discuss this matter. This meant he was not particularly worried they were a threat.
And now that he came to the Northwest, it was not because he was worried that Fortress 178 would hinder his plans. He needed the Northwest to form an alliance with him to keep the southwestern Qing Consortium under control.
Ultimately, Zhang Jinglin felt that Wang Shengzhi had personally come to the Northwest at such a time because he was afraid of Qing Zhen.
Of course, Zhang Jinglin could understand this since he was very familiar with that young man called Qing Zhen. Almost none of the consortiums in this world would underestimate this person.
Those who dared to look down on Qing Zhen were either dead, or just waiting for their time to be up.
Right now, the reason why Wang Shengzhi was looking to join forces with Fortress 178 was probably because of the Qing Consortium.
