"Laboratory? Drugs? Why don’t you conduct your research locally instead of coming all the way to us? You’ve certainly got quite the sche plotted out," Lin Wenhao said coldly, a hint of icy murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Beijing is vast and rich in resources; its weather and various other aspects are suitable for our research. G Country, on the other hand, is unsuitable in every way. That’s why we chose to conduct it here and to cooperate with you. For you, there are only benefits and no harm," Yang Wulang replied smugly.
"As long as it’s successful, these drugs will be sold worldwide. It will be very promising research, and money will pour in non-stop."
"If it’s so beneficial, why don’t you invest openly instead of conducting it in secret? Or is your research so nefarious that it cannot withstand scrutiny? And to think you’re resorting to such tactics to gain our agreent—are you joking?" Lin Wenjie countered coldly.
Yang Wulang’s expression soured. "Originally, my brother, Yang Cilang, had already signed a contract with the Shen Family. The plan was to secretly conduct the experints while developing real estate. But that kid must have offended soone important. Not only was he beaten to a pulp, but he’s also still in the hospital. Furthermore, all the initially approved docunts were revoked, and so projects between our two countries were halted. My project was unfortunately among them, so I had no choice but to seek your help." He then added, his voice laced with frustration for his errant relative, "If that good-for-nothing hadn’t ssed things up, we wouldn’t have had to abandon our initial ambition of unifying Beijing’s mafia and seek your cooperation instead. And the sooner, the better."
"Why would we agree to sothing even the governnt doesn’t approve of, Mr. Yang Wulang? Are you joking?" Lin Qingyu sneered.
"The governnt only disapproved because that kid offended their people, hence the shutdown. But the profits from this deal are quite substantial. You should consider it. And as for Elder Lin, I will take good care of him. After all, we can’t scare an old man, otherwise..."
Yang Wulang spoke triumphantly. He believed that by this point, the Lin Family’s elder had fallen into their hands, aning they had no choice but to agree.
The expressions of the three Lin family n turned grim.
"Mr. Yang, you’re quite the joker. My grandfather is resting comfortably in bed; how could he be startled? If he were to be upset, it would only be from seeing soone as detestable as you," a crisp voice rang out.
"Girl, stop your mischief and co here!" Lin Qingyu said anxiously. When did she run over there?
"Uncle, I heard gunshots, so I ca out to see what was happening," Shangguan You said with a light laugh, her petite figure appearing before everyone. "I really didn’t expect to encounter such shaless, brazenly unscrupulous individuals."
Yang Wulang’s face turned ashen; soone had infiltrated their ranks undetected. What are these people even good for?
"Since you’re here, Miss, why don’t you stay with us? We’ll take very good care of you," Yang Wulang sneered, moving to grab Shangguan You.
"You want to take care of ? I’d be glad to, but I wonder if you’re capable. Mr. Yang, we et again," Shangguan You chuckled lightly, her face fully revealed in the light.
"It’s you! Grab her! Don’t let her escape!" Yang Wulang’s face had now turned completely livid as he ordered her capture with a sweep of his hand.
"Mr. Yang, surely you’re not thinking of silencing witnesses, are you? Even if you are, it’s too late now," Shangguan You scoffed, kicking fiercely at the stomach of an approaching man.
"If you dare touch her, I’ll make sure none of you leave here alive!" Lin Wenjie roared, ready to rush forward.
At the sa ti, Shangguan Qing and the others who had been hiding in the shadows swiftly erged.
"Nobody move, or she ets King Yama imdiately! This place is rigged with bombs, snipers are positioned all around, and Elder Lin is in our hands. If you don’t want anything to happen to her, step back!" Yang Wulang aid his gun at Shangguan You, forcing everyone to retreat.
"Mr. Yang, you’re quite confident. But sotis, overconfidence can bring terrible luck; you might not even realize how you died," Shangguan You said coldly, her voice chilling.
"I never expected you to deliver yourself to my doorstep so obediently today. It saves the trouble of finding you," Yang Wulang sneered. If it weren’t for this girl running away and Yang Cilang’s failed operation, I wouldn’t have had to make a move this early. I was afraid the information would leak.
"I’m not sure who’s delivered themselves to whose doorstep. If I recall correctly, Mr. Yang, I heard you that night discussing how to swallow the Lin Family whole, how to take their place, and how to move your laboratory, filled with viruses and highly contagious, right here," Shangguan You said with a cold laugh.
"You heard all that?"
"Of course, I heard everything. However, I believe your plan is ultimately dood to fail," Shangguan You sneered, taking a step toward the muzzle of the gun.
"You! Don’t be reckless!" Shangguan Qing called out urgently, his heart pounding as he watched Shangguan You walk towards the gun.
"I’m alright, Brother Qing," Shangguan You said with a reassuring smile to the others, then took a few more steps toward Yang Wulang.
"Tell us, what is your purpose? Why bring these things here?" As Shangguan You spoke, her hands swiftly ford a seal. Yang Wulang staggered, and the gun in his hand clattered to the ground.
The other black-clothed n who could still move stood stock-still, completely rigid.
"I am a secret agent from G Country, codenad XXX," Yang Wulang began to speak, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. "My mission is to cause civil unrest in Beijing and introduce countless contagious viruses. Once chaos erupts, the high-ranking officials in your governnt who are secretly collaborating with us from G Country can then join forces with us, turning Beijing entirely into our vassal state."
"Taking over Beijing’s mafia and successfully establishing a contagious laboratory here to take root in Beijing is my first step. The Lin Family is rely a pawn for my success. So, for now, we cooperate with the Lin Family, and later, we will replace them." Yang Wulang muttered, revealing everything he knew.
"Which high-ranking official is cooperating with G Country?" Yu Zifeng and Shangguan Qing exchanged a look, sowhat baffled as they listened to Yang Wulang spill the truth. They quickly pressed him with the question.
