480: Chapter 480: He is Taotie 480: Chapter 480: He is Taotie Hearing his subordinate’s report, the elderly man slowly turned his head, looking at his subordinate.
“Is that so?
How far has it progressed?” the elderly man asked.
“According to the report from our spy at the front…
Xu Cuilian had awoken from her vegetative state and much of her memory had been restored…
She even disclosed the secret document to Lin Shuang,” the subordinate reported solemnly.
“Oh?
That document was finally revealed, huh?
Heh…
Seven years ago, so many were killed…
yet Lin Jianguo was not forced to hand over the document.
Unexpectedly…
after seven years, that document would appear so easily?
Heh…
fate is ironic,” the elderly man said slowly, shaking his head with sarcasm in his voice, “It seems that not killing Xu Cuilian back then and using her as bait was quite an effective move.”
Seven years ago, Xu Cuilian would have died in that fire.
The assassin sent from the Imperial Capital was extremely ruthless, so why would they leave Xu Cuilian alive?
However, the elderly man suddenly changed his mind at that time, purposely leaving Xu Cuilian alive.
Since they hadn’t yet found the boy they were looking for, they needed to keep bait to lure the boy to them.
So, Xu Cuilian was left alive as their bait.
Now, seven years later, they had successfully used Xu Cuilian as bait to lure the boy from that time.
It was now Lin Shuang!
“Sir, should we make a move?
Kill Lin Shuang and destroy the documents?” the subordinate asked solemnly.
Now, after waiting for seven years, Lin Shuang, the bait, had finally taken the hook!
Lin Shuang was the person they were looking for.
The document had also been found, and it was time to close the net.
Yet the elderly man slowly shook his head, “No, don’t act yet.
We’ve all waited seven years; this additional time won’t matter.
Let’s keep waiting, let Lin Shuang continue searching, find all those who know his past, and then…
we can wipe them all out at once.”
The elderly man had intentionally kept Xu Cuilian alive with the purpose of luring their target…
Lin Shuang.
Indeed, Lin Shuang showing up in Jiangnan had already caught the elderly man’s attention, who chose not to act, as he was waiting…
waiting for Lin Shuang to uncover more clues and people.
Then they would wipe out all those who knew.
Completely destroy all evidence.
Anyone who knew of Lin Shuang’s origins had to die, not one spared.
The subordinate nodded heavily, “Yes!
I understand, sir!”
…
That night, Su Wanqiao’s oppression by S Province became even more outrageous, with S Province joining forces with Z Province, intercepting all of Su Wanqiao’s corporate transport fleets…
and seizing all the goods.
Even the cargo planes passing over S Province were forcibly intercepted.
Su Wanqiao had initially planned to transport herbal medicines via air cargo.
But as the cargo plane flew over S Province, it was warned by the province’s military radar to immediately land!
It was also intercepted by an airborne early warning aircraft.
Eventually, the two cargo planes were directly stopped and landed at the international airport in S Province.
Billions worth of herbal medicines on these two cargo planes were all seized and taken away.
That night, the losses for the Su Corporation were extremely severe.
Moreover, it was even more outrageous that S Province and Z Province, two major provinces, directly deployed a large-scale armed force and completely surrounded Hai City through external blockades.
This was an unprecedented act of audacity!
S Province and Z Province, the two provinces teamed up and deployed armed forces to surround Hai City.
This event even shocked the citizens of Hai City?
What had happened?
The next morning.
Su Wanqiao woke up with dark circles under her eyes; she hadn’t slept well all night.
Now sitting at the dining table, she looked at the lavish breakfast spread without any appetite to eat.
Lin Shuang had also finished washing up and came to Su Wanqiao’s home for breakfast.
“What happened?” he asked, puzzled as he looked at Su Wanqiao, who looked rather pale.
“Last night, two cargo planes were intercepted over S Province again…” Su Wanqiao recounted the events of the previous night.
Lin Shuang’s expression grew stern upon hearing this.
The actions of S Province were becoming increasingly audacious and excessive, daring to intercept even the cargo planes in the air.
And they even dared to directly deploy armed forces to blockade Hai City?!
This was a lawless act!
“Then let’s go to S Province.
I came over to talk to you about this.
I plan to leave tomorrow for a trip to S Province, to visit Hanshan Temple in Gusu City, to look into my origins.
Meanwhile, I’ll resolve the trouble caused by S Province for you,” Lin Shuang said coolly.
Su Wanqiao was startled by his words, “You’re going to S Province?
Are you serious?
The ruler of S Province has already openly declared war on us, going there now would be like walking into a lion’s den.”
Lin Shuang lit a cigarette and said, “How do you know I’m a sheep?
What if I’m a mythical taotie?”
Su Wanqiao was at a loss for words.
“But last night, those two provinces mobilized their armed forces and suddenly blockaded Hai City; how will you leave the city without being interrogated by their armed forces?” Su Wanqiao expressed her concerns.
Lin Shuang sneered, “Thinking about leaving the city?
Isn’t that simple?”
