500: Chapter 500 Oath of Allegiance Assembly!
500: Chapter 500 Oath of Allegiance Assembly!
“You consider me as your sword?” Lin Shuang asked with a cold laugh.
Su Wanqiao looked up at him in surprise.
Who was this man talking to on the phone, and why was his tone so icy cold?
On the phone, Chen Bu’e slowly said, “King of the Underworld, you’ve used my Military Intelligence Department to clean up after you so many times.
Haven’t we also been acting as your sword?
If once in a while you serve as our sword, what of it?
Don’t be so petty.”
Lin Shuang mocked in response, “Spare me your crooked theories.
I’m not interested in listening to your brainwashing.”
Lin Shuang retorted and then, without waiting for Chen Bu’e to speak…
he had already hung up the phone.
“Who called you?” Su Wanqiao asked curiously.
She saw Lin Shuang’s icy expression and asked with concern.
“It’s nothing, just some old geezer wanting to borrow money from me, and I’ve refused him,” Lin Shuang made up an excuse casually.
Su Wanqiao: “???”
…
Hai City, a secret base of the Military Intelligence Department.
Qin Bu’e sat in his chair, lighting up a cigar, taking a deep drag.
Shen Huang stood by his side, her beautiful face showing a complex and serious expression.
Ever since that night in the submarine when she was ‘betrayed’ by the King of the Underworld, Shen Huang’s hatred for Lin Shuang had seeped deep into her bones.
She wished nothing more than to flay him alive.
“Chen, the King of the Underworld is ruthless in his actions.
Using him as our sword might breed significant trouble!
In my opinion, it would be better to directly deploy a large-scale armed force and capture him once and for all, to prevent future problems!
His presence in Yanxia is only causing social unrest!” Shen Huang’s voice was cool and earnest as she made her request.
Chen Bu’e glanced at her.
He said indifferently, “Kill him?
Heh, back in the day, so many forces in the Imperial Capital joined hands and still couldn’t kill him.
Today, he is even harder to deal with.
Instead of killing him, it’s better to make good use of him.
With his help, we can…
properly clean up these chaotic righteous forces in the northern and southern regions.
The situation is so messy, rife with corruption and malpractice, and we have no evidence to act against them.
If the King of the Underworld takes them down, it will save us the trouble.”
Shen Huang protested unwillingly, “But Chen, that bastard the King of the Underworld has killed countless people!
If he takes action, surely many will die!
Every time he strikes, isn’t it a bloodbath?”
“The ones he kills all deserve to die, no worry there.” Chen Bu’e waved his hand and glanced at Shen Huang once more.
“Shen Huang, you’ve had a lot of resentment against the King of the Underworld lately.
What’s going on?
Has he offended you in some way?
Or has he caught you in something incriminating?”
Shen Huang’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she quickly shook her head.
“No, sir, I am only considering the bigger picture!”
Chen Bu’e waved his hand dismissively, “That’s enough, I’ve made my decision.
Lin Shuang will become our sword in the Military Intelligence Department, and the collaboration may be long-term.
While you’re monitoring him, try to maintain a good relationship with him.”
After he finished speaking, Chen Bu’e stood up and walked away…
Leaving Shen Huang standing there alone, clenching her fists tightly until they made a creaking sound.
In her heart, she vowed…
King of the Underworld, I will personally kill you and flay you alive!
…
On this day, the whole of S province was engaged in a complete encirclement against Lin Shuang.
Yet Lin Shuang acted as if nothing was wrong, visiting Hanshan Temple once again by himself.
The abbot of Hanshan Temple, Master Wu Jiu, had also seen the wanted information for Lin Shuang.
Master Wu Jiu asked Lin Shuang what exactly was going on?
Lin Shuang told Master Wu Jiu that he had a score to settle with the righteous path in S province and that he would avoid visiting Hanshan Temple for a while so as not to involve the temple.
After reminding him, Lin Shuang then stood up to leave.
However, Lin Shuang didn’t return to the submarine after leaving.
Instead, he headed straight for Jinling City.
Lin Shuang traveled from Gusu City all the way to Jinling City, two hundred kilometers away.
Because today, on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Jinling City, a mobilization meeting for the encirclement and suppression of Lin Shuang was scheduled for the afternoon!
…
Afternoon, two o’clock sharp.
Jinling City, by the Qinhuai River.
Every top righteous organization of S province — the city towers, special operations groups, military district groups…
investigative departments…
all armed forces had arrived at the scene.
Leaders from various groups were also personally on site, holding a mobilization meeting in front of the Confucius Temple Plaza on the banks of the Qinhuai River!
The king of S province, Ge Liangping, had also arrived at the scene.
At this moment, Ge Liangping stood on the main stage of the assembly, speaking gravely, “Ladies and gentlemen!
Recently, a particularly dangerous murderer has emerged in S province!
His name is Lin Shuang!
He is the mastermind behind multiple major serial murders in Hai City and Z province!
According to our intelligence, this Lin Shuang is a foreign national!
After our official investigation…
we have confirmed his identity as a member of a terrorist organization from the war-torn regions of the Middle East!
A highly dangerous person!
Therefore, we have decided to use the full force of the province…
Whatever the cost, we must capture this terrorist!”
Ge Liangping spoke seriously from the platform!
To take down Lin Shuang, Ge Liangping went so far as to fabricate a criminal identity for him…
as a Middle Eastern terrorist.
At this moment, by the Qinhuai River, countless reporters and media were broadcasting live on the scene.
“Comrades, our operation to encircle and arrest is codenamed— ‘Extermination Operation’!
To exterminate Lin Shuang, this terrorist pest, and cleanse society of such filth!” Ge Liangping’s voice rang out resolutely, “And now, I declare that the ‘Extermination Operation’ officially begins!!”
“Heh, an Extermination Operation?
I wonder, who really is the pest?” Just then, a mocking voice suddenly came from below the stage.
