Marvel: The other side of the double-passing door is Devouring the Stars

Chapter 487 Holding Those Responsible Accountable!
She did read it last night, and there was a chapter specifically about employee rights.

"It seems...it seems there are many benefits," Luo Shuang said uncertainly, "such as free medical care, housing subsidies, cultivation resource quotas..."

"Anything else?" Rowan prompted.

Luo Shuang racked her brains to recall, then her eyes lit up: "There's also a security guarantee! The employee handbook says that if employees of Virtual Universe Company encounter a threat to their personal safety on Earth, they can contact the company's security department, and the company will send someone to protect their safety!"

“That’s right,” Rowan nodded with satisfaction. “So now, do you feel your personal safety is threatened?”

Looking at the five menacing martial artists in front of her, Luo Shuang immediately understood her brother's meaning.

“I received it!” Luo Shuang nodded vigorously.

"So what should you do?" Rowan continued to guide him.

“I…I should call the company security department!” Luo Shuang said.

"Then why don't you hurry up and fight?" Rowan laughed.

Luo Shuang quickly took out her phone and found the emergency contact number for the security department recorded in the employee handbook.

"Wait," the burly man suddenly said, "you're going to call for backup?"

“Yes, that’s right,” Luo Shuang said matter-of-factly, “I’m an employee of Virtual Universe Company, so of course I should ask the company for help when I encounter danger!”

"Virtual Universe Company?" The burly man paused for a moment, then looked at his companion.

The companions looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even these lowly martial artists knew the name of Virtual Universe Corporation. It was a cosmic-level superpower, an absolute authority on Earth.

“Little girl, don’t scare us,” the burly man said uncertainly. “Are you really an employee of Virtual Universe Company?”

“Of course it’s true!” Luo Shuang pulled out her newly issued temporary employee ID card. “Look, this is my employee card! Although I haven’t officially started working yet, Supervisor Li said that from the moment I passed the interview, I’ve been under the company’s protection!”

The Virtual Universe Company logo was clearly visible on the employee temporary ID card, along with Luo Shuang's photo and basic information. This item had special anti-counterfeiting technology; it was absolutely impossible to fake.

The burly man's expression changed.

He took the ID card, examined it carefully, and then took out his phone to scan the QR code on the card. His phone immediately displayed: Identity verification successful; this person is a full-time employee of the East China Sea branch of Virtual Universe Company.

“This…this is real…” the burly man murmured.

“Of course it’s true!” Luo Shuang said confidently, then started dialing a number. “I’m calling the police right now!”

"Wait!" the burly man quickly stopped her. "Young lady, let's talk this out!"

But Luo Shuang had already dialed the number.

"Hello, this is the security department of the East China Sea branch of Virtual Universe Company. How can I help you?" A professional and calm voice came from the phone.

"Hello, I'm Luo Shuang," Luo Shuang said, her voice relatively steady despite some nervousness. "I'm currently in the plaza outside the Donghai City Central Railway Station, being threatened by five martial artists. They said they'd harm my family, and I feel my personal safety is seriously threatened!"

“Received, Ms. Luo Shuang,” the voice on the other end of the phone said immediately. “Please remain calm and do not leave your current location. We will send someone over immediately. Please describe the situation.”

“There are five of them, all martial artists,” Luo Shuang said, listing them off one by one. “The leader is a burly man in his thirties, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a uniform from Tiandun Security Company…”

She described all the other person's characteristics.

“Understood,” the voice on the other end of the phone said. “Employee Luo Shuang, our personnel are expected to arrive within five minutes. In the meantime, please be mindful of your safety. If the other party exhibits any aggressive behavior, please immediately press the emergency button on your employee card.”

"Okay, thank you!" Luo Shuang hung up the phone, then looked at the five martial artists. "Our company's people will be here soon. You'd better stay put!"

The faces of the five martial artists all turned grim.

"Brother, what should we do?" one of the subordinates asked in a low voice.

"What can we do?" the burly man gritted his teeth. "People from Virtual Universe Company are coming. Can we just fight them head-on?"

"So we're just leaving like this? How are we going to explain this to President Zhao?"

"Leave my ass!" the burly man roared. "Leaving now would be called fleeing from justice! We haven't done anything, what are we afraid of?"

He took a deep breath and looked at Rowan: "Brother, we were in the wrong today. We were just doing our job, taking their money to solve their problems. Since you're from Virtual Universe Company, let's just let it go. We won't bother you anymore."

"Now you know you're done? Too late," Rowan sneered. "Weren't you all very arrogant just now? You even wanted to break my legs and make me spend months in the hospital?"

“That was…that was just said in anger,” the burly man said awkwardly. “We really didn’t mean to fight.”

“Really?” Rowan looked at them. “Then wait for the people from Virtual Universe Company to arrive, and then you can explain to them.”

The burly man's face turned even uglier.

He knew he had really bitten off more than he could chew this time.

The people at Virtual Universe are notoriously protective of their own. If they were to actually threaten any of the company's employees, the consequences would be severe—not only would they be in trouble, but Sky Shield Security Company could also be implicated.

"Brother, can't we really talk this over?" the burly man pleaded, "How about this, we'll apologize to you, and pay you some compensation for emotional distress, and we'll just let it go, okay?"

“No,” Rowan shook his head. “I want you to know that some people are not to be trifled with.”

Just then, the roar of aircraft came from afar.

A spacecraft bearing the logo of Virtual Universe descended from the sky and landed steadily in the square.

The hatch opened, and six warriors in black uniforms jumped out. They all exuded powerful auras—the weakest was at the ninth level of the planetary realm, and the leader was even at the second level of the stellar realm!

"Where are Luo Shuang's employees?" The leader was a man in his thirties with a serious expression.

"I'm here!" Luo Shuang quickly raised her hand.

The man strode over and showed his identification: "I am Chen Gang, the security chief of the East China Sea branch of Virtual Universe Company. What has happened?"

“Captain,” Luo Shuang pointed at the five martial artists, “it’s them! They threatened to beat up my brother and make him stay in the hospital for months!”

Chen Gang's eyes immediately turned cold as he looked at the five martial artists: "Who are you?"

“I…we’re from Sky Shield Security Company,” the burly man said, forcing a smile. “We’re employed by a client…”

"I don't care who you're employed by," Chen Gang interrupted him, "threatening the employees of Virtual Universe Company is a provocation against the company's authority!"

He waved his hand: "Take them all back and hand them over to the Ministry of Justice!"

"Yes!"

Six security personnel immediately stepped forward. The five martial artists from Sky Shield Security Company wanted to resist, but seeing the enemy's lineup and the large crowd that had gathered around, they ultimately gave up.

Resisting the security personnel of the Virtual Universe Company is suicidal. "Captain Chen, this is a misunderstanding!" the burly man hurriedly explained, "We really didn't intend to attack, we just wanted to scare them..."

"Intimidate? "Chen Gang sneered. "On Earth, daring to intimidate employees of Virtual Universe Company, you've got some nerve."

He looked at Luo Wen and Luo Shuang: "Employees, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Rowan shook his head: "My sister has told you everything she needed to say. However, I suggest you also investigate their employer."

“Yes,” Chen Gang nodded. “We will investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Then, he looked at Luo Shuang, his tone softening: "Luo Shuang, you're a new employee, right? You handled it very well. Seeking help from the company immediately when encountering danger is the right thing to do."

"Thank you... thank you, Captain," Luo Shuang said nervously.

"Don't be nervous," Chen Gang said with a smile. "Virtual Universe Company is your backing. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, the company will protect you."

“I understand!” Luo Shuang nodded vigorously.

“Okay, then we’ll take these people away for now,” Chen Gang said. “If we need your cooperation in the investigation later, I will contact you.”

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Gang left with his men, taking the five unfortunate martial artists with him as well.

The surrounding onlookers were buzzing with discussion.

"Virtual Universe Company is definitely protecting its own; their reaction speed is too fast!"

"Those idiots actually dared to threaten employees of Virtual Universe Company; they're in for it now."

"I heard that Virtual Universe Company has excellent employee benefits, and now it seems their security is top-notch as well."

Luo Shuang stood there, still somewhat incredulous at what had just happened.

“Brother…did I do the right thing just now?” she asked.

“Very right,” Rowan said approvingly. “You did a great job.”

"But...am I just using their power to bully them?" Luo Shuang asked uneasily. "Using the company's resources to deal with them..."

“This isn’t called 'borrowing power',” Rowan said seriously. “This is called making reasonable use of resources. You are an employee of Virtual Universe Company, and enjoying the company’s protection is your right. Moreover, you handled things very smartly just now—you didn’t panic and calmly reported the situation, thus protecting yourself and allowing the company to intervene in a timely manner.”

"Really?" Luo Shuang was still somewhat uncertain.

“Of course it’s true,” Rowan laughed. “And do you know why I didn’t do it myself, but instead had you make the call?”

"Why?"

“Because I want you to understand one thing,” Rowan said, “that in this world, an individual’s power is limited. Even if I’m very strong, I can’t protect you all the time. But if you know how to utilize the power of an organization, it’s a different story.”

He paused, then continued, "Virtual Universe Company isn't just where you get paid; it's your backing, your support. As long as you're an employee, you'll be protected by the company. This is your right, so don't be shy about using it."

Luo Shuang nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, brother."

“Moreover,” Rowan chuckled, “today’s experience is also very valuable for you. You’ve already used the company’s security services before you even officially started working. This will help you better understand how important the various safeguards the company provides for its employees are when you start working.”

"Yes!" Luo Shuang nodded vigorously.

She now finally understood why employees of Virtual Universe Company were so respected—not just because of their high salaries and good benefits, but more importantly, because the company genuinely protected the safety and interests of its employees.

“Oh, right,” Rowan suddenly remembered something, “this isn’t over yet. Zhao Ming’s father, since he dared to hire people to cause trouble, will definitely pay the price.”

“But… their family is very rich and powerful,” Luo Shuang said worriedly, “could it be…”

“No,” Rowan shook his head. “Virtual Universe’s legal department isn’t to be underestimated. They’ll handle this.”

He took out his phone and sent a message to his supervisor, Li Wen, explaining the whole story, including Zhao Ming's harassment of Luo Shuang the day before.

Li Wen quickly replied: "Mr. Luo Wen, thank you for the information. The company will handle this matter seriously. Rest assured, anyone who dares to threaten company employees will pay the price."

Luo Wen nodded in satisfaction and put his phone away.

"Alright, that's settled then," Rowan said, glancing at the time. "I should head to the station."

"Brother..." Luo Shuang said with some reluctance.

"Don't look at me like that," Luo Wen laughed. "It's not like I'm not coming back. I'll come see you again once you have a stable job. Or when you take a vacation, you can go back to Jiangnan City to visit your parents, and then we can meet."

"Hmm!" Luo Shuang wiped her eyes.

"Remember what I taught you today," Rowan concluded, "If you encounter a problem you can't solve, don't force yourself; know when to ask for help. The company is your support, your colleagues are your helpers, and you have me as your older brother—I'll always support you."

“I understand!” Luo Shuang nodded vigorously.

"Then I'm off," Rowan ruffled her hair. "Work hard, and don't let me down."

"No! I will definitely try my best!"

Rowan turned and entered the station. After walking a few steps, he looked back.

Luo Shuang stood outside the station, waving to him. She had a smile on her face, tears glistening in her eyes, but even more so, she was filled with longing and hope for the future.

Rowan waved and then turned to leave.

He believed that from this day forward, Luo Shuang would embark on a completely new path. And those who had bullied her would eventually pay the price.

Meanwhile, in a luxury villa in Donghai City.

Zhao Ming's father, Zhao Jianguo, was processing documents in his study. He was a director of the Donghai City Chamber of Commerce, owned several companies, and had assets worth hundreds of millions of yuan. He was a prominent figure in Donghai City.

"Mr. Zhao, something terrible has happened!" The secretary rushed in in a panic.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" Zhao Jianguo frowned.

"You...the people from Sky Shield Security Company that you hired yesterday have been arrested by Virtual Universe Company!" the secretary said urgently.

"What?!" Zhao Jianguo jumped to his feet. "What happened?"

"It's said...it's said they threatened employees of Virtual Universe Corporation," the secretary said, "and have now been taken to headquarters. Furthermore, Virtual Universe Corporation's legal department has contacted us, saying they're going to hold you accountable!"

Zhao Jianguo's face turned deathly pale instantly.
