Li Wujiang's surprise made Su Nanyin quite pleased.
She now knew that White Belly Bird was made up of four people.
Two of them were related to her (actually three), and Su Nanyin, with a thick skin, claimed that she had formed White Belly Bird, which seemed reasonable enough.
Su Nanyin took off her sunglasses.
She lowered her head, exhaled onto the lenses, and wiped them as she said lightly, "Just forming a white-bellied bird, what's so surprising?"
"You're bragging."
Li Wujiang casually replied, but then suddenly understood, "The 'belly' in White Belly Bird, is that Du Junlin?"
"You're not entirely stupid."
Su Nanyin said leisurely, "Drive, and we can chat as we go."
Li Wujiang immediately started the car and pressed for information about how many people were in White Belly Bird.
Especially who the man in White Belly Bird was.
Li Wujiang was Li Wujiang after all, and began to suspect that her unfilial son might also be a member of White Belly Bird.
After all, he and Du Junlin were currently in Lingnan.
Su Nanyin, however, looked dismissive, "Li Wujiang, you don't really think your prodigal son is also a member of White Belly Bird, do you?"
"Isn't he?"
Li Wujiang retorted, then his expression soured, "You'd better watch what you say, what do you mean 'my prodigal son'?"
"A prodigal is a pig!"
Su Nanyin was blunt, "Pigs are good at rooting up cabbage, but when it comes to doing proper business, they are clearly not qualified."
Shen Chongchong, sitting in the back, blushed.
"Damn it."
Li Wujiang's face felt awkward, "Even if my son is a pig, didn't he root up all your family's cabbage? He might even root you up."
Slap!
Su Nanyin raised her hand and slapped Li Wujiang's leg hard.
Li Wujiang, in a rare display, pretended she was hitting someone else.
When she was speaking carelessly, how could she forget that Shen Chongchong was sitting behind her?
She deserved it!
Clearing her throat, Li Wujiang asked, "How do you plan to have White Belly Bird act?"
"I haven't figured out the specifics yet."
Su Nanyin, who actually knew nothing, worried about being exposed and said, "In any case, you don't need to worry about this. After you resign, are you planning to go to Longxu, or stay put in Lijia Village?"
"I'll see."
Li Wujiang yawned, "I'll go to the village first and sleep for a few days."
"Li Wujiang."
"Calling my name?"
"You resigning at this time—"
Su Nanyin looked at her, "Are you planning to personally go on the western expedition to the Black Water Forest in your private capacity?"
Li Wujiang's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.
Intelligence was directly proportional to beauty!
This was also one of the things Li Wujiang admired most about Su Nanyin.
In the years since she married Shen Yue, she had been solely at home raising their children, which was a complete waste of her talent.
If she were placed in an important position, her contributions would surely astonish many.
"Junlin said that the Black Water Forest can be called a tomb for experts,"
Su Nanyin said softly, "On the thousand-mile snowfield with nowhere to hide, under the devastating strikes of aerial drones. If you can't break into the enemy's inner defense perimeter and use superior hacking skills to disable their drone area network operating system, then no matter how invincible you are, Li Wujiang, you'll just become target practice for the drones."
As a combat expert, how could Li Wujiang not understand what she was saying?
There was a reason why Gao Lingwang was able to break into the enemy's inner defense perimeter back then.
One reason was that the enemy had been complacent.
The key was that Gao Lingwang, at the time, had changed into Tanaka Moto's clothes, ridden Tanaka Moto's snowmobile, and blended in.
By the time the enemy realized, Gao Lingwang had already exploited the chaos to break into the inner defense perimeter and, amid the confusion (drones could not indiscriminately strike ground targets), had managed to escape into the forest.
Such a feat of breaking into the enemy's inner defense perimeter was a one-off!
Afterward.
Not only did the Rhodes family strengthen their outer perimeter security, but Jessica also dispatched over a dozen more elite experts to the Black Water Forest.
Now.
The enemy's inner defense perimeter had been pushed outward by a full kilometer.
If Li Wujiang had nine lives, she might still attempt to break through the defense line and engage in close-quarters combat.
"After I resign, if I really want to find something to do, I won't necessarily have to go to the Black Water Forest personally."
Li Wujiang parked the car in the parking lot, "Besides, once the Rhodes family learns of my resignation, they will definitely formulate corresponding countermeasures. For example, they might integrate me into Longxu. Longxu is forbidden from participating in the siege of the Black Water Forest."
"Yes, it's highly possible they would do that."
Su Nanyin opened the car door, "I think you should focus your work on clearing out those ghosts and monsters after your resignation. After all, with your departure, no matter how capable the person who takes over your work is, it will take time to familiarize themselves. This would be the best window period for the infiltration of the Four Nine for these creatures."
Li Wujiang's action of getting out of the car noticeably paused.
Suddenly.
She felt a sense of apprehension towards Su Nanyin.
Because what this woman said casually was precisely Li Wujiang's next key task!
And the only people who knew about this task were Director Zhao, Li Nanfang, and Li Xiao!!
(Li Wujiang's resignation was more like a "sting operation" plan. She intended to use this opportunity to secretly sort out the members of the dark web within the country.)
At this moment.
Li Wujiang suddenly asked, "Old Su, are you interested in coming to Four Nine to be my deputy?"
Su Nanyin was stunned.
She truly hadn't expected that her casual remark about the sting operation would be so accurate.
It even stirred Li Wujiang's "appreciation for talent," leading her to recruit her on the spot!
Li Wujiang looked at her across the car, her eyes clear, with no hint of jest.
Su Nanyin also adopted a serious attitude, her gaze flickering.
She had to carefully consider this.
Seeing that they were discussing serious matters, Shen Chongchong discreetly remained silent.
After a while.
Li Wujiang finally said, "Although I don't know what big moves Old Shen is planning, I can tell that your meeting me today to visit Old Du at Baiyun Temple is related to the future of Chongchong and the others. I work my hardest for Qianfan. Why can't you come out to help me for Chongchong and the others?"
Su Nanyin slowly countered, "If I help you, what benefits will you give me?"
Dark Blade!
Dark Blade was an organization recently established to counter the dark web.
Its purpose was to fight "darkness with darkness" and gradually eliminate the dark web members who had been secretly lurking in Dongtu over the years.
After resigning, Li Wujiang would serve as the chief steward of Dark Blade.
She would have the authority to screen members of Dark Blade and appoint them to any position!
"After 20 years of infiltration, the scale of the dark web here has become enormous."
Li Wujiang's expression was solemn, "We must eliminate this tumor before it completely festers, or it will be too late to regret it. If you come to help me, I will arrange for you to be the deputy director. Your position as deputy director can be filed as top-secret. We will report directly to Director Zhao alone. The key is that Dark Blade has a very broad jurisdiction."
The broader the jurisdiction, the greater the authority!
Su Nanyin remained silent, but her brow furrowed into a knot.
Li Wujiang did not rush her.
She knew very well that Su Nanyin needed to think carefully.
"Let's go up the mountain first and find Old Du."
Su Nanyin put on her sunglasses, "Within 24 hours, I will give you a definite answer."
"Okay."
Li Wujiang walked alongside her, "What exactly happened with Old Shen?"
Su Nanyin hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully, "He is going to reside permanently in Piaomiao Township."
"Ah!?"
Li Wujiang was greatly surprised.
Li Wujiang also knew about the legends of Piaomiao Township.
She also knew what it meant for Old Shen to reside permanently in Piaomiao Township.
And how much it would change the current aristocratic family structure.
"What about you?"
Li Wujiang asked, "Aren't you going with him?"
"There is too much that I cannot let go of."
Su Nanyin pursed her lips and glanced back at Shen Chongchong.
Shen Yun followed closely, moving with tiny steps, appearing rather useless.
A look of helpless frustration flashed in Su Nanyin's eyes.
She couldn't help but sigh, "I came to Four Nine this time to take over the resources of the Lingnan Shen family in Four Nine from Old Shen. But once I take over the resources here, I will have to give up everything in Lingnan. Including Junlin's work, my family's businesses, and so on. After all, after Old Shen retires, besides us four, there are many Shen family disciples there. I can't have both Four Nine and Lingnan. I have to make a choice between Lingnan and Four Nine."
"Of course, it's Four Nine!"
Li Wujiang said, "I will transfer Junlin here. Then, you will all reside permanently in Four Nine. This way, you can wholeheartedly help me with my work."
"Heh heh."
Su Nanyin gave a wry laugh, "It's not impossible for me to sell my life to you, but you have to promise me one condition."
As long as this notorious scheming woman would come to help her—
Li Wujiang immediately patted her chest and said generously, "Speak up! Do you want me to have my son take all four of you beauties? If that's the case, I, as your future mother-in-law, will treat you all equally."
Su Nanyin— httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Looked around for a knife.
"Just kidding, hehe, just kidding."
Li Wujiang thought of Shen Yun, who was right behind her, and quickly gave a sheepish laugh.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Su Nanyin raised her hand and fiercely twisted Li Wujiang's cheek.
Li Wujiang lowered her head meekly, not daring to make a sound.
After twisting it fiercely several times, Su Nanyin let go.
She stated her condition, "The mistress of the one-acre-three-tenths of land in Lijia Village can only be Junlin! As long as you can get the elders to agree, I, Su Nanyin, will take up my post tomorrow and work for you."
"Hmph! I thought it was something big."
Li Wujiang patted her chest again heavily, "No problem, leave this to me. The Elder Council will definitely not have any objections. I will do Su Ziyu's work. My daughter-in-law is definitely reasonable and understanding."
The more readily she agreed—
The more uneasy Su Nanyin felt.
Li Wujiang had always been the type to scheme without a second thought.
Anyone who believed every word she said would help count the money even if they were sold.
However.
Su Nanyin was not worried about Du Junlin moving into Lijia Village.
If pushed too hard—
What wouldn't she do!?
They walked and talked.
The sun gradually turned red.
The sunset was magnificent!
In front of Baiyun Temple—
An old Taoist priest, wearing a green Taoist robe and with a long white beard, had been waiting for them for a long time.
This was the Abbot, Daoist Du.
Li Wujiang and the other two bowed their heads in greeting first.
"Wuliang Tianzun."
Old Du flicked his horsetail whisk, bowed to the female lay disciples, and was about to invite them inside when he looked at Su Nanyin and froze.
"Huh? How can this be!"
