Chapter 358: Listen Up, I Want You Dead!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“My younger sister, Gu Ci, and Lu Zhiyuan, grew up together as childhood sweethearts. No one knew he was the third young master of the Black Hawk. Director Chen, did you know this three months ago?” Jiang Junlin asked with a light smile.
Chen Liangdong shook his head. “1 didn’t know!”
These were all knew information and you guys have kept it under wraps deep enough.
Jiang Junlin continued, “Lu Zhiyuan’s identity, Chairman Lu might not even know. How could I know? As for the impending marriage, it’s quite strange. There’s a legal principle: ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ I haven’t heard of a day when the law convicts someone first and then waits for unknown evidence. Let me point you in the right direction. If you want to accuse me, provide the facts. Which year, which day, did 1 collude with Lu Zhiyuan and do what? That’s the evidence!”
Lin Qing couldn’t produce evidence. If he could, why would he bother trying to turn Jiang Junlin’s covert security team against him? He would have publicly accused Jiang Junlin of wrongdoing and forced him to step down.
Jiang Junlin fell silent, staring at Lin Qing, waiting for him to present evidence. This silence exerted tremendous pressure on Lin Qing, even though it was unspoken. Chen Liangdong also shared Jiang Junlin’s military record with the high-ups behind the glass wall. It was a record that was second to none among any soldier.
If he had served in the regular army, this record would have earned him the highest honors at least five times, and by now, he would have held the rank of colonel. This was the honor he had earned through his own efforts on the frontlines during peacetime.
“I’m sorry, Junlin, my uncle misunderstood you,” Lin Qing sighed. “I was too anxious, thinking about your relationship with Ji Chi, Gu Ci, and Lu Zhiyuan. 1 felt anxious, and when I’m anxious, 1 make mistakes. Please forgive your uncle.”
“Uncle Lin, if you can’t provide evidence, then 1’11 have to apply to the military court,” Jiang Junlin said calmly.
Lin Qing was shocked, his face turning pale. “What did you say?”
The high-ups exchanged glances.
Jiang Junlin continued, “Although the Underworld Dark Web doesn’t belong to any formal organization, its existence is acknowledged. My people are trained according to the highest military standards. Those who sacrifice their lives in the line of duty receive recognition and honors. You, driven by personal desires, subverted Zhang Huan, and sent people to hunt me down and engage in a pursuit. In this incident, eight members of the Underworld Dark Web were killed or injured. 1 need an explanation for this.”
“Are you out of your mind?” Lin Qing exclaimed.
Chen Liangdong was not surprised, yet also not surprised. Jiang Junlin’s approach didn’t seem like he wanted to downplay the situation. He understood that in the professional world, no one fought alone. Lin Qing’s position was solid and hard to shake, and he had powerful backers. If Jiang Junlin didn’t pursue this, things would blow over, and everyone would remain on good terms.
“If we pursue this, it won’t just offend Lin Qing!” Chen Liangdong thought to himself. “If he pulls Lin Qing down, there will surely be others who want to pull him down.”
He observed Jiang Junlin’s actions and demeanor and realized that Jiang Junlin didn’t seem to want to trivialize the situation or let it slide.
“Everyone here is thinking about taking a step back and letting it go lightly. Uncle Lin misunderstood, and it led to this mess. I’m sitting here unscathed, and you expect me to accept a simple apology and move on?” Jiang Junlin calmly questioned. “I’ve toiled tirelessly, dedicated my mind and body for ten years. Why should I let you tarnish my reputation with baseless accusations? My people are loyal and courageous, with unwavering determination, yet they died in this internal strife fueled by your personal grudges. They are still young, with parents above and wives and children below. Do you think a mere apology can bring back someone else’s son, husband, or father? Why do you believe that a simple apology can settle this matter?”
“Jiang Junlin!” Lin Qing, with his high position and influence, hadn’t been spoken to like this by anyone in years, except for Zhang Lao. “Are you out of your mind?”
“I’m perfectly sane!” Jiang Junlin looked into the camera and said each word clearly. “He must pay the price for this!”
At this point, there was no turning back.
Chen Liangdong couldn’t help but wonder, did Jiang Junlin win?
No, he didn’t!
Lin Qing couldn’t provide evidence, but the seed of doubt had already been planted. Jiang Junlin would have to be extremely cautious in his words and actions from now on. Any mistake would be seized upon by others.
If he insisted on pulling down Lin Qing, he wouldn’t have an easy life ahead.
Gu Ziyu understood deep down that Jiang Junlin wanted to set an example. The Underworld Dark Web wouldn’t be a one-man show anymore; there would be checks and balances to ensure Jiang Junlin was no longer operating outside the organization.
But how to handle this matter needed to be discussed.
Therefore, Jiang Junlin had to make an example, to make them all understand the consequences of coveting the Underworld Dark Web.
In the earpiece, Chen Liangdong heard Chen Chen’s voice, “Director, old Zhang is here.”
“Both of you take a break.” Before leaving the room, Chen Liangdong turned off the recording.
Lin Qing glanced at the now-off recording and said in a low voice, “Junlin, the Jiang and Zhang families are old friends, and your father and I are close friends too. Handling this matter lightly would benefit everyone. You’re seeking justice for the dead, have you thought about the ones who are still alive?”
Jiang Junlin leaned forward, lowering his voice, “Listen carefully, 1 want you dead!”
“You!” Lin Qing had never encountered anyone more audacious than Jiang Junlin in his entire life. He had even held Jiang Junlin as a baby when he was born and played with him as a child. Now, he was standing beside him, saying, “I want you dead!”
“Well, you’re probably going to be disappointed,” Lin Qing replied calmly.
“I know, you’re just a passerby,” Jiang Junlin said with a light smile. “There are plenty of people who want the Underworld Dark Web. This kind of power, money, who wouldn’t want it? You’ve achieved your goal, making the Underworld Dark Web subject to oversight, slowly infiltrating your people. In a year, two years, ten years, you’ll eventually erode the power in my hands.”
“You…” Lin Qing was shocked and couldn’t believe that Jiang Junlin could see through his plans so clearly.
“Is this move something that Lu Zhiyuan taught you?” Jiang Junlin asked with a sly smile. “If you hadn’t mentioned Lu Zhiyuan, trying to distance yourself from his relationship, I wouldn’t have suspected. But you did, and that gave it away.”
“Jiang Junlin, you think it’s easy to bring me down with just the Underworld Dark Web?” Lin Qing chuckled confidently.
“Is that so?” Jiang Junlin smiled and continued, “I’m afraid Old Zhang has already given up on you.”
Lin Qing’s smile faded, and his expression grew serious.
Outside the MSS, Dr. North, Qin Wan, and Gu Ci were in the car. Gu Ci was resting in the back seat with her eyes closed. Dr. North expressed his concern, “Cici, you’ve been running around for your master’s affairs lately, and you haven’t had a good night’s sleep. Let’s go back and rest. You’ve done what you needed to do.”
“I’m not tired!” Gu Ci opened her eyes, claiming not to be tired, but her eyes were bloodshot. freewebn ovel.c om
Qin Wan was a loyal follower of Jiang Junlin and thought Gu Ci was pushing herself too hard. Gu Ci had some special conditions, and if her mental state wasn’t stable, it would worsen her condition. Her illness also didn’t tolerate exhaustion and stress.
Too much stress could exacerbate her condition.
Qin Wan inadvertently glanced at the mental health report written by Dr. North. It was already in the advanced stage. Treatment was already challenging, and it couldn’t afford to worsen..
