507: Chapter 507: Power Above the Heavens!
On the other end of the phone, Chen Bu’e heard these words, his face filled with shock and doubt.
“What do you mean?”
Lin Shuang recounted the attempt to assassinate Ge Liangping that night.
“Chen Bu’e, looking across the entire Jinling, who else could have such a clear knowledge of my nuclear submarine’s whereabouts, except your Intelligence Agency?” Lin Shuang asked coldly.
Chen Bu’e was silent for a long time before he spoke, “There might be a spy inside our Intelligence Agency.
Give me some time, and I will investigate.”
Meanwhile, Lin Shuang had already been slowly sailing away from Jinling City in his nuclear submarine.
The numerous failed assassination attempts had shocked Lin Shuang; it was as if the enemy could accurately grasp his movements with precision.
He had no choice but to retreat for now.
In the afternoon, Lin Shuang finally received a call from Chen Bu’e.
Over the phone, Chen Bu’e’s voice was icy, “I’ve checked all the institutions within the Military Intelligence Department; there are no spies in my department.
I suspect there is another mysterious organization secretly supporting Ge Liangping.
The authority of that organization, I’m afraid, does not fall below my Military Intelligence Department; in fact, it might even be higher.”
Swish—Hearing this, Lin Shuang’s expression instantly became grave.
Another mysterious organization?
With authority even higher than the Military Intelligence Department?!
What kind of organization could that be?
Could it be…
the Imperial Capital?
Lin Shuang dared not think any further!
Before hanging up the phone, Lin Shuang also asked Chen Bu’e to investigate another clue.
The clue related to the mysterious assassins who had attempted to assassinate people at Hanshan Temple a few days ago.
Lin Shuang had already sent the information clues of these assassins to Chen Bu’e, asking him to use the resources of the Intelligence Agency to try to investigate the forces behind these killers.
Over the phone, Chen Bu’e initially wanted to refuse.
“Hades, my Military Intelligence Department serves the nation and its people, not you, Hades,” Chen Bu’e complained discontentedly.
Lin Shuang curled his lips and said, “I’m cleaning up the rats for you in Province S, working for you for nothing.
What’s wrong with helping me investigate a little?
Or should I leave Jinling?
You’d have to deal with the rats yourself.”
On the other end of the phone, after a moment of silence, Chen Bu’e finally nodded in agreement, “Fine, I’ll look into it.
I’ll give you an answer within 24 hours.”
Chen Bu’e still needed Lin Shuang’s sharp blade to deal with these rats.
So, he had to help with the investigation.
Satisfied, Lin Shuang then ended the call.
By this time, dawn was breaking.
After his nuclear submarine left Jinling City, Lin Shuang did not flee; instead, he waited until the afternoon before suddenly maneuvering the nuclear submarine…
to return to Jinling City for the second time.
Lin Shuang launched another series of pursuits against Ge Liangping.
Unwilling to forego deception, Lin Shuang applied military strategies to their utmost limit.
Ge Liangping would have never expected Lin Shuang to strike back in such a fashion.
That afternoon, Lin Shuang carried out several attempts at assassination.
However, Ge Liangping was able to evade ever prior to each of Lin Shuang’s attacks.
This made Lin Shuang increasingly aware of the terrifying reach of the mysterious force.
The enemy could clearly capture every movement in his offensive route, which was far too terrifying.
Even until the evening, Ge Liangping had successfully avoided all of Lin Shuang’s attacks.
In the evening, Lin Shuang once again received a call from Chen Bu’e.
Over the phone, Chen Bu’e spoke with a freezing voice, “The assassins who attempted to kill at Hanshan Temple…
my department can’t find any trace of their origins.”
Swish—Hearing this, Lin Shuang’s expression changed abruptly.
Even Chen Bu’e could not find a clue?!
“How is that possible?
Your Military Intelligence Department has eyes everywhere, how could you not find anything?” Lin Shuang asked sharply.
On the phone, Chen Bu’e replied gravely, “These assassins have a very mysterious origin, involving higher-level classified information.
My department can’t trace any clues about them.”
Lin Shuang’s expression had never been so somber before.
The power of that mysterious force might be above Chen Bu’e’s, able to easily erase any clues.
If even Chen Bu’e couldn’t discover it, then it was truly terrifying.
“Hades, who are these assassins?
What sudden business did you have at Hanshan Temple?” Chen Bu’e asked with suspicion over the phone.
“That’s not for you to worry about,” Lin Shuang replied coldly, about to hang up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Bu’e again warned, “Hades, let me remind you…
don’t mess with this power.
They have terrifying authority, and you should probably guess which level they’re involved with.
Don’t seek your own death, you understand?”
Lin Shuang didn’t wait for him to finish and hung up the phone right away.
Lin Shuang’s gaze turned cold, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Imperial Capital, huh?
…
Night.
Jinling City.
Ge Liangping had escaped Lin Shuang’s assassination attempts multiple times.
He was now hiding in a secret villa, agonizingly worried.
From yesterday until today, Lin Shuang had been targeting him relentlessly.
Leveraging the geography of the Qinhuai River, he kept weaving through Jinling City.
This had Ge Liangping extremely alarmed; he relied solely on the reminders from that mysterious text messages to survive until now.
Without those text message alerts, Ge Liangping would have been dead long ago.
Ge Liangping’s life was entirely in the hands of that mysterious text message.
“Ding-a-ling~!” Just then, Ge Liangping’s phone rang again.
Ge Liangping saw the caller ID…
the Imperial Capital!
It was that mysterious call.
Ge Liangping’s heart skipped a beat, and he rapidly answered the phone!
“In half an hour, reach this coordinate.
Our people…
will be there waiting for you,” the mysterious voice on the other end of the line said.
Swish!
Hearing this, Ge Liangping’s expression tensed; would he finally meet this mysterious force?
“Understood!
I’m on my way now!” Ge Liangping nodded gravely!
