Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 902: Leave No Evidence

The night was deep, the breeze swept through, causing the leaves on the trees to sway and rustle softly.

In an old alley in the capital, a figure moved like a ghost, swiftly darting through, making it impossible for anyone to catch sight of him.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, the figure leapt up and landed atop a wall in front of him.

After scanning his surroundings briefly, he jumped down from the wall.

"Do the people of Shu Mountain all dislike using the front door?"

A sudden voice rang out the moment the figure landed.

"As expected of the National Security Bureau Director, your intelligence is impressive, knowing that we from Shu Mountain have arrived!"

The man who had climbed over the wall from outside no longer chose to hide and instead stepped forward openly and boldly.

Under the dim light, his black-and-white hair became visible.

Especially the snow-white strands, which stood out starkly.

This man was none other than the one seen earlier in the Lin household—the man with both black and white hair.

Soon after, Weng Jianbo opened the door and stepped out from within.

When he saw the man before him, a flash of surprise crossed Weng Jianbo’s face: "Yuan Shu, Shu Mountain has actually sent you out!"

Yuan Shu, currently the most powerful figure in Shu Mountain, without dispute! freewebnσvel.cøm

He was also the senior master under the current Sect Leader of Shu Mountain, and the individual who in recent years was deemed most likely to become a national protector.

However, Yuan Shu hadn’t shown himself for thirty to fifty years, and now Shu Mountain had sent him into the fray. Could it be that Shu Mountain was truly determined to have Ye Xunhuan killed?

In this moment, countless thoughts surged through Weng Jianbo’s mind like a whirlwind.

Yuan Shu was slightly surprised that Weng Jianbo recognized him: "I hadn’t expected that the little child of yore would turn out to be so grown up."

A little child of yore?

Could Yuan Shu have met Weng Jianbo in his younger days? If so, just how old was Yuan Shu?

Considering Weng Jianbo was now nearing fifty, and yet Yuan Shu called him a little child!

"Senior Yuan Shu, your visit this time..." Weng Jianbo spoke with notable respect as he addressed Yuan Shu.

"Wouldn’t you first invite me in to sit?"

"Please, senior!"

Under Weng Jianbo’s guidance, the two entered the house.

Inside, after settling Yuan Shu into a seat, Weng Jianbo poured him a cup of tea.

"Little child, I won’t waste time here with idle chatter. I’ll cut straight to the chase; if I come across as impolite, I hope you won’t take offense!"

"Please go ahead!"

"I just came from Lin Zhennan’s place, so you must already have some idea by now, correct?"

"You mean you’re here because I helped Ye Xunhuan?"

Yuan Shu nodded slightly: "Precisely. I heard from Lin Zhennan that you’re using certain items that shouldn’t exist to threaten him?"

"It’s a transaction!" Weng Jianbo corrected earnestly.

Transaction or threat—Yuan Shu paid no heed to the distinction: "What I don’t understand is, given your status, why would you risk aiding him?"

"You wouldn’t know, but Ye Xunhuan is more than just Ye Xunhuan. He’s also a Marshal. In Europe, in Africa, he holds terrifying influence. If this conflict escalates, I fear his subordinates might launch an attack on Huaxia!" Weng Jianbo said, half-truthfully. "As far as I know, Ye Xunhuan commands vast power abroad, even maintaining ties with prominent politicians and major families across Europe!"

"If things continue to spiral out of control, who knows what disasters may unfold..."

"So you’re doing this for the sake of the nation?"

"You could think of it that way."

"What if I don’t want you to help him?"

"I’m sorry, but that’s not something I can comply with!" Weng Jianbo refused firmly and resolutely. "Ye Xunhuan cannot be harmed—at least not with the use of internal political power to nail him down!"

Weng Jianbo was perceptive and understood that Yuan Shu was no friend in this scenario, likely intending to eliminate Ye Xunhuan.

If you want to act outside the bounds of the state, so be it—but if you intend to use the government’s resources, then I can only apologize.

Weng Jianbo believed that this monstrous figure, Yuan Shu, would undoubtedly grasp the meaning behind his words.

"So, if the Lin family tries anything rash, you’re saying some members of the Lin household will die because of you?"

"Even if I don’t act, someone else surely will," Weng Jianbo replied softly. "Sheng Tianyin has already sprung into action; should they escalate further, he’ll be far more ruthless than I am. At that point, forget casualties within the Lin family—their very survival will be in question!"

"Senior, if you’ve come as a mediator, there’s nothing left for us to discuss. If you’re just bored late at night and want to chat about trivialities, I’d gladly keep you company!"

With those words, Weng Jianbo effectively closed off all avenues for negotiation.

"So you’re saying that as long as Lin Zhennan dares to act recklessly again, you’ll stick to your words and follow through on what you’ve said?"

"Correct!" Weng Jianbo answered without hesitation. "Senior, you’re not part of our political system, so you wouldn’t understand..."

"Weng Jianbo, I don’t enjoy hearing the kind of words you’re saying," Yuan Shu said, visibly displeased.

"Truth has always been unpleasant and hard to accept," Weng Jianbo countered without yielding.

"Weng Jianbo, tell me—if you were killed, would your replacement stir up as much trouble as you do?"

Saying so, a dark and menacing killing intent flashed across Yuan Shu’s figure.

Feeling the faint killing intent emanating from Yuan Shu, Weng Jianbo’s expression subtly shifted, but he refused to show any sign of retreat: "If I die, you won’t escape, either!"

"Is that so?"

"You’re welcome to try!" Weng Jianbo said indifferently. "But when the fallout occurs and planes and bombs target Shu Mountain, don’t say I didn’t warn you ahead of time!"

"You..."

"Yuan Shu, out of respect, I call you senior. Without respect, you’re merely an ordinary passerby—or some random stray cat or dog!" Weng Jianbo said with unshakable confidence. "And this is the capital, not Shu Mountain. I’m a government official; you’re an ordinary man!"

"No matter how great your powers may be, you’re still just an ordinary person. From ancient times to now, the people never win against the authorities—so I urge you to reconsider carefully!"

"I never realized that a mere child from the past would grow to be so formidable!" Yuan Shu said, his face clouded slightly.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"It seems your resolve is unyielding!"

"Yuan Shu, I won’t waste words with you either—let me make myself clear. If you want to kill, I won’t interfere, but if you seek to use powers you have no right to manipulate to deal with him, then I’ll stand firmly opposed. Whoever comes will be dealt with accordingly!"

Weng Jianbo took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Please go back and tell Lin Zhennan to abandon his futile struggles—otherwise, his family will face obliteration due to his momentary hatred!"

"If you’re determined to kill someone, go to Jiangzhong City. If you’re after the Taiji Seal, go to Jiangzhong City. But don’t cause trouble here with me!"

"Well, I’ve only heard previously that Weng Jianbo of the Weng family is extraordinary—today, I’ve seen it for myself!" Yuan Shu said coldly. "But let me make something equally clear to you: anyone I wish to kill never gets to survive."

"Even if that person is you, Weng Jianbo—you won’t die cleanly, nor will a shred of evidence be left behind!"
