How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 117: Four Major Doubts

Number 88 reclined slightly on the sofa: "There’s a case that we’ve entrusted to Detective Mr. Lin for investigation. Mr. Lin, if you have any questions, ask away!"

This was the authorization.

With this authorization, it’s official that Lin Xiaosu has entered the game.

It also meant that no matter how much Li Changsheng disliked him, he had to answer his questions.

Lin Xiaosu held up his teacup, leaning slightly forward: "Chairman Li, my main purpose for coming today is to investigate the discrepancies in the case of Huang Chengwang’s defection, which happened earlier at Changsheng Group."

"Discrepancies?" Li Changsheng also lifted his teacup, gently blowing on it. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Yes. Chairman Li, don’t you think there are numerous doubts surrounding the case of Huang Chengwang’s defection?"

"Sorry, I’m not a detective, I can’t see the doubts that are visible to a detective’s eyes..."

"If you can’t see them, I can tell you! Huang Chengwang had the chance to detonate the chip inside Zhou Yibo’s brain earlier, which would have covered up his crime of using alien species spiders to kill. But he didn’t. Do you know why? Because he wanted to draw the police’s attention to himself with Zhou Yibo’s testimony, in order to protect the real master within Changsheng Group."

As soon as he spoke, Shen Yinchuan was shocked.

Even Number 88 was shocked.

They hadn’t thought of this doubt.

The teacup in Li Changsheng’s hand suddenly stopped, rippling. He looked up in astonishment, "He has a master in Changsheng Group?"

Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "The second doubt, Huang Chengwang has been confirmed to be from the Nine Headed Snake, then, what kind of identity does his master have?"

Number 88 was already shaken.

With his identity and experience, ordinary words couldn’t shake him, but the three words ’Nine Headed Snake’ clearly were not ordinary. For Qianlong members, Nine Headed Snake is their lifelong enemy.

In the land of Daxia, wherever Nine Headed Snake appears, it’s a battlefield for life-and-death to Qianlong.

Could Changsheng Group really be a branch of Nine Headed Snake in Daxia?

This time, Li Changsheng did not speak. Perhaps he felt that speaking up wouldn’t have matched Lin Xiaosu’s pace and might have been a loss of face, or perhaps the news was too explosive.

Lin Xiaosu put down his teacup and raised a third finger: "The third doubt lies with Tong Yadong, the technical director that Chairman Li has recently placed his trust in. As is well-known, Changsheng Group is a genetic technology firm that heavily relies on technical expertise, and its technical director should have solid professional skills or unique achievements in a certain area. Unfortunately, besides seeing his study experience in Luoba State, I haven’t seen any notable accomplishment. May I ask, Chairman Li, is it the man himself you trust, or the organization behind him?"

Number 88 felt a wave inside...

Technical Director of Changsheng Group?

That’s a specific target.

This man studied in Luoba State, and Luoba State, is where Nine Headed Snake is most rampant.

Could he really be from Nine Headed Snake?

Shen Yinchuan’s heart was also pounding; Nine Headed Snake, of course, he knew it was Qianlong’s mortal enemy, even he, as head of the Criminal Investigation Team, was not qualified to be an enemy to Nine Headed Snake.

This audacious detective outright suggested that Changsheng Group’s technical director was from Nine Headed Snake—yes, although it wasn’t explicitly stated, who couldn’t understand the meaning behind the words? "Do you trust him, or do you trust the organization behind him?" Isn’t that a direct accusation?

Li Changsheng’s face changed: "What do you mean? Are you saying he’s from a foreign organization? What evidence do you have?"

"Evidence! Haha..." Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "Chairman Li, do you really think it’s impossible to uncover his secrets? It’s true, the Jiangcheng police might find it difficult to investigate, given certain constraints, but do you think Daxia doesn’t have higher-level powers?"

This was a clear reference to Qianlong.

Li Changsheng’s heart began to race for real...

His previous astonishment might have been feigned, but at this moment, it was genuinely uncontrollable...

Lin Xiaosu stretched out a fourth finger, and at some point, Li Changsheng began to tremble at the sight of his fingers...

Lin Xiaosu said: "The fourth doubt falls on Changsheng Group’s strategic layout! I was fortunate to meet one of your market development department heads, Sun Yingxian, at Dell Company, who wanted to discuss cooperation. Dell Company has verified that it is a pharmaceutical company controlled by Nine Headed Snake, with the primary purpose of conducting genetic transformation at the source of drugs, so as to achieve their evil goal of controlling the medical lifelines of a billion people in Daxia."

Li Changsheng looked up sharply: "When we contacted Dell Company, we didn’t know the details of this company. In fact, our contact with them was only preliminary and didn’t result in any substantive cooperation agreement."

"Isn’t it because we acted first in Fengcheng?" Lin Xiaosu said: "But Chairman Li, Dell Company is not the first company you’ve dealt with. There have been several companies that achieved real transactions. For example, Nanyang Pharmaceutical in Jiangnan Province, Huimin Pharmaceutical in Chuannan Province, and Dongting Pharmaceutical in Xi He province."

Li Changsheng took a deep breath: "Changsheng Group is engaged in the genetic industry; cooperating with pharmaceutical companies is completely in accordance with legal regulations."

"Yes, in modern society, the rule of law prevails, no matter how dirty the deal, doesn’t it all have a legal cover?" Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "Let’s see if our methods can tear off this veneer."

Li Changsheng held the teacup for a long time, its turbulence slowly subsiding beneath his gaze.

His gaze gradually lifted: "Leaders, can this detective’s baseless talk serve as legal evidence?"

"Of course not! I’ve already said, this is just an investigation!" Number 88 said indifferently: "Mr. Lin, do you have any other questions?"

Lin Xiaosu stood up, smiling: "No, let’s go."

Number 88 and Shen Yinchuan stood up simultaneously.

Stepping out of the office.

Li Changsheng still intended to shake hands with Shen Yinchuan, but Shen Yinchuan didn’t notice.

They went out, and Li Changsheng’s hand remained outstretched in the air for five seconds before slowly retracting it.

The office fell silent as death.

The car left Changsheng Group, equally silent.

Upon arriving at the hotel, it remained quiet.

Shen Yinchuan, adhering to a creed that unless a leader speaks, I shall not be curious, drove Number 88 and Lin Xiaosu to the luxury suite at Jiangcheng Hotel.

Two entered the room, and Shen Yinchuan left.

The door closed, Dragon Eye number 88 was taken out, and after a thorough scan of the room, it confirmed the absence of surveillance devices.

"Sit!"

Lin Xiaosu sat down.

Dragon Eye number 88’s gaze slowly moved over: "Although we did have a prior appointment today, and I should cooperate with you in everything, I still feel that you’ve made a mistake."

"Stirring the grass and startling the snake, a big taboo in military strategy, right?"

Dragon Eye number 88 said: "Yes!"

When dealing with a cunning old fox like Li Changsheng, one must tread carefully with every word and deed.

Especially when letting him sense the scent of danger, even more caution is warranted.

Did we provoke Li Changsheng today?

More than provoke?

It was like poking all the way up to the tips of his hair!

Lin Xiaosu did not hide anything and spilled all his suspicions.

These four points, even if disclosed to Dragon Eye number 88 in an absolutely private setting, are nothing short of earth-shattering.

Let alone disclosing them in front of Li Changsheng?

How could he not be on alert with such disclosure?

Lin Xiaosu said: "If we’ve startled the snake, what will happen?"

"He will destroy the criminal evidence, he will block all loopholes!" Dragon Eye number 88 said.

"Whether he destroys the criminal evidence or blocks loopholes, those are actions! I’m not afraid if he acts; my fear is if he doesn’t!" A mysterious light flickered in Lin Xiaosu’s eyes.

Dragon Eye number 88 was slightly taken aback...

Lin Xiaosu stood up, pressed the button on the electric kettle, and leaned against the wall: "Li Changsheng is an old fox, rampant in the business world for decades, managing to grow Changsheng Group from a tiny partnership of three into a nationally known enterprise, he’s no ordinary man. If we search for his criminal evidence using conventional methods from the outside, it will be difficult to find."

"Yes!"

"But today is different. Today I deliberately exposed your Qianlong identity to make him feel extreme danger, and told him all four major doubts, he will have to move." Lin Xiaosu said: "As long as he moves, he will leave traces!"

"Do you have confidence in finding the traces he leaves from his actions?" Dragon Eye number 88 asked.

"This is my race track!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Dragon Eye number 88 looked at him for a long time: "You’re gambling! You’re betting that your detective skills can break through his actions."

"Yes!"

Dragon Eye number 88 exhaled lightly: "I don’t know how to evaluate this behavior of yours. Young people need to be confident, but excessive confidence can easily become arrogance."

From Li Changsheng’s perspective, if he wanted to do something, he didn’t need to show up in person.

He could make arrangements in a place no one else could find, in an absolutely secretive manner. Who could control such a chain of actions?

He began to wonder if this young man before him was a little too full of himself...

Lin Xiaosu said: "Whether it’s success or failure, it will be revealed tomorrow... Come, have a cup of tea, dispel the inexplicable entanglements in your heart, and arrange tomorrow’s itinerary well..."

This night, Jiangcheng was very quiet.

This night, the Yangtze River was also very quiet.

This night, what the two people discussed in the hotel, no one knows.

This night, what arrangements Li Changsheng had made, no one knows either.

Shareholders of Changsheng Group were somewhat surprised.

Today’s shareholder meeting was only half-conducted.

As the largest storm in the history of Changsheng Group began to reveal signs, Li Changsheng faced Ding Lizhong’s bared fangs, already shimmering with cold light, but midway through, the chairman was called away.

Half an hour later, the secretary came over and notified that the shareholder meeting was postponed.

The storm did not materially arise, but it caused a suffocation greater than any storm...

At least, that’s how Ding Lizhong felt.

He stood alone on the roof of the Nanhu Villa.

Gazing into the distance.

Visions of Li Changsheng from his younger days to the present passed before his eyes...

In those days, Li Changsheng was spirited and had an air of arrogance that seemed to say, "Today I am a nobody, but watch if I remain a nobody tomorrow"...

He had excellent eloquence and drew magnificent blueprints. In the early days of starting Changsheng Group, they held meetings in the basement, smoked cheap cigarettes, drank beer, and though their future was uncertain, even though fires erupted in the backyard, even though countless including relatives questioned their impulsivity, they had that drive; they fought until the company was initially established, until it grew into a large group, until they went public on the new third board, turning all three of them into billionaires...

But today, Ding Lizhong felt very unfamiliar with Li Changsheng’s demeanor.

Why was that?

Could it be that he, who spent his lifetime immersed in scientific research, who could decipher the immensely complex mysteries of genetics, ultimately couldn’t decipher human nature?
