The stolen magic is a bit magical

"I have an appointment tomorrow and I'd like to visit someone," Lin Xiaosu said, picking up her teacup.

"Who?"

"The founder of the Mountain and Sea Club is a boss who shares the same surname as me."

“Lin Weiyang!” Zhao Zhen said.

"You know him?"

"Of course I know him, and I know a little more about him than most people do."

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Tell me, what kind of person is he..."

Zhao Zhen said...

Lin Weiyang was a university professor at Southern University.

His academic focus was quite niche: biology, not bioengineering, but ancient biology.

Currently, there are probably a dozen or so university professors who are renowned for their research on paleontology, such as Xiang Yixiu and Yin Dingxian from Southern Xinjiang University. However, in his time, there weren't that many. Lin Weiyang was probably the only one who could research paleontology.

If he hadn't changed course midway, he might have been a master in this field, and people like Ikkyu and Yoon Jung-hyun would have been his juniors in terms of fame at the time.

However, he changed course midway.

The reason for the shift was that hostile foreign forces extended an olive branch to him.

He not only refused, but also brought the traitor who had turned against him to court. The incident caused quite a stir, with thirteen professors and a university vice president falling from grace.

This action, while preserving his reputation, also brought him profound disaster.

His parents, his wife and children were all murdered by the enemy's conspiracy.

He also aroused the suspicion of others, and gradually found it difficult to move forward.

So he left his university teaching career and embarked on his legendary business journey.

It must be admitted that although this person was physically weak, he was very quick-witted and thrived in the business world, accumulating a fortune of tens of billions in just over ten years.

He once again demonstrated his unique side.

He did not focus on money to expand his business empire, but rather regarded business as an accumulation of his initial capital. After accumulating billions of dollars, he founded the Mountain and Sea Club.

He wants to present the mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Rivers to the public in a more intuitive way.

Find out the characteristics and weaknesses of these strange beasts. If one day the legend comes true and the ancient boundary is broken, the human world will have a way to deal with it.

When Zhao Zhen spoke of Lin Weiyang, her words were no longer frivolous, but rather revealed a hint of respect.

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "So, your overall conclusion is that this professor is very respectable."

“Judging from the current situation, he is undoubtedly respectable. However, you can’t see into someone’s heart. Everyone only shows the side they choose to show.” Zhao Zhen asked, “Why did you make an appointment with him?”

“Strictly speaking, it wasn’t me who made the appointment with him, but him who made the appointment with me!” Lin Xiaosu said.

"Can you take me to the date tomorrow?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"cannot!"

"Well... I won't distract you too much today. I'll contact you again after you go to your date tomorrow."

"it is good!"

The two entered the tea room in a high-profile manner and left in just half an hour.

Next, Lin Xiaosu led Yixiang through the exhibition area of ​​the expo, and then they went hand in hand to the beach outside.

The water and sky blend into one, the sand is white, and the wind carries the faint fragrance of flowers.

The people are the same as before.

The night's passion blossomed once more, and the next morning, Yixiang got up very early.

why?
Because we have more visitors today.

Lan Yao made an appointment with him.

She went outside to walk her tortoise.

Lan Yao noticed her first, came up to her and asked, "You're up so early?"

Yi Xiang smiled and replied, "I get up even earlier in the mountain village, I'm used to it."

"Where is he? Is he up?"

"I don't know. I heard noises coming from his room last night, so he must have been up quite late... Should I give him a call?"

"No need, I'll just go directly!"

Yixiang sat on the bench, stroking the white turtle's head, feeling a little nervous.

Has that wicked prince gotten up yet?
Have you made the bed yet?

Lan Yao arrived at his door, knocked, and Lin Xiaosu opened the door. He was dressed neatly, the bed was clean, there was boiling water on the coffee table, and the teacups had already been washed.

As soon as the door closed, Lin Xiaosu said directly, "I have another appointment today, so there's not much time for small talk. I'll get straight to the point!"

"it is good!"

"What are your plans regarding the Soul-Slaying Gu?"

Regarding the Soul-Slaying Gu… Lan Yao frowned slightly: “Headquarters takes this matter very seriously and has already dispatched five teams to start from the clues that have been exposed. In time, we will make progress. However, the enemy is also very vigilant. In just one day, they have severed three lines. Since you have brought this up, I think you might have a way to reconnect to the severed lines.”

Lin Xiaosu gently shook her head.

"You can't connect? That can't be right?" Lan Yao was slightly taken aback.

His detective skills were nothing short of miraculous.

The enemy cuts off the clues simply to silence witnesses. Since it involves murder, theoretically, they should be able to trace the real killer and, by following the clues, surely find something.

On his way here, Lan Yao had already considered whether to formally entrust this matter to him. This would provide a powerful boost to Operation Soul Living, and his detective agency would also have a long-term source of income, creating a win-win situation.

However, Lin Xiaosu shook her head as soon as she started.

"It's not that the connection is broken, but that I don't think this method is the best method."

"It's not the best method, but it's undoubtedly the safest," Lan Yao said.

"Being cautious... In the extremely dangerous world of battlefield combat, the word 'cautious' sometimes has another meaning: missing a crucial opportunity!"

A crucial opportunity has been missed!

Blue Demon slowly raised his eyes: "Tell me your plan!"

"The authorities proactively released information, making the entire matter of the Soul-Giving Gu public, informing all citizens, and urging those who know they have been infected to voluntarily go to designated locations for testing and treatment!"

Lan Yao's heart pounded: "Releasing this information will cause public panic, which is something the higher-ups are trying their best to avoid."

Is it better to be panicked, or to actually be killed by the enemy?

Blue Fairy was stunned...

"Blue Sky King, you understand the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils better than I do. You understand the dangers of the Soul-Bearing Gu infiltrating all walks of life better than I do. Millions of elites are already standing on the edge of a cliff, and one more step will lead to an abyss. The Great Xia Kingdom is already riddled with holes, and the survival of the nation is imminent. How can we still worry about whether the people are panicking?"

Blue Demon closed her eyes slightly: "Continue, do your best to convince me!"

"I don't need to waste my breath. I'll just remind you of one thing," Lin Xiaosu said. "From our perspective, this is a difficult problem that Hydra has presented to us. However, from the perspective of battlefield strategy, this is a golden opportunity for us to cut off Hydra's foundation!"

Blue Demon's eyes snapped open: "A golden opportunity?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "Since ancient times, every crisis has its opportunity, and the same applies to battlefield strategy. The Soul-Slaying Gu is a massive project of Hydra. Theoretically, all Hydra strongholds within Great Xia are involved. If we launch a desperate counterattack, putting ourselves in a do-or-die situation, a large number of people infected with the Soul-Slaying Gu will inevitably step forward! Each of these people who steps forward will inevitably bring out the mastermind behind them. In other words, if we save one person, they lose one. If they take a drastic measure and kill these people, killing one person will expose one of theirs. For us, this battle will be extremely fierce. However, for them, this battle will be even more fierce! Because regardless of success or failure, they will face annihilation!"

The blue demon slowly said, "Your decisive method has a fatal flaw. Have you considered that...?"

"what?"

“Most people who know they have been afflicted with the Soul-Slaying Gu have already committed crimes, and they dare not come forward. Sun Jun from the Changsheng Group, who testified against Li Yubin to his face, is just an exception. He was only threatened recently and has not yet committed any actual crime.”

Lin Xiaosu said, "That depends on whether the Dragon Head can secure a pardon."

"Amnesty?"

“Yes, under the coercion of the Soul-Slaying Gu, any criminal who voluntarily steps forward and testifies against the mastermind behind them can atone for their crimes and be granted a pardon!” Lin Xiaosu stared into Lan Yao’s eyes and slowly said, “Dragon Head, do you think this is feasible?”

If there were outsiders present, they would definitely be confused. Who was he saying that to?
Dragon head?

where?

Suddenly, a light and shadow appeared in the void in Lan Yao's eyes.

In the interplay of light and shadow, there is an office and a figure. The office is blurry, and the figure is also blurry, with no clear outline. However, an imposing aura naturally emerges, which may be the aura of a "superior".

The figure laughed: "To be able to detect my presence through the tiny glimmer of light in the Blue Demon Dragon's eyes, you truly are a super detective. I admire you!"

"I dare not!" Lin Xiaosu stood up and bowed to the illusory figure.

The dragon head sighed softly, his voice turning serious: "You're right. Between two evils, choose the lesser. This is an age-old principle. A crisis, too, presents both danger and opportunity. This is also an age-old principle. Crimes are punished by law. Although it's a legal provision, it concerns the overall situation of the Great Xia Dynasty. The law can also be flexible. I accept your proposal on my own behalf, and I will immediately consult with my superiors and do my best to make it happen."

Lan Yao and Lin Xiaosu exchanged a glance, both of them excited.

The dragon head said, "Blue Demon!"

"exist!"

"You decide on that specific location, and discuss the arrangements with Xiao Su!"

"Yes!"

The dragon head slowly leaned forward, as if trying to get a better look at Lin Xiaosu, and its tone became calm: "Xiaosu, when you have time, I would like to invite you to come to headquarters."

"Ok!"

"What a fine young man, hmm, not bad..." The dragon head chuckled softly, then vanished.

The faint light in the blue dragon's eye disappeared, truly vanished.

Only the two of them remained in the room.

There were only two people in reality.

Lan Yao chuckled softly: "Don't blame me for playing this little trick. In fact, it was 'Old Man's' idea to play this trick, and I really couldn't go against him."

She was referring to the fact that she shared the longan with the dragon's head.

"It's nothing. Anyway, you'll eventually have to report to him about what we're going to discuss. It's actually better to let him get involved personally," Lin Xiaosu said, seemingly relieved.

Lan Yao chuckled softly: "Do you know why he wants to see you? Actually, the real reason is far more complicated than you think." (End of Chapter)
