The stolen magic is a bit magical

Lin Weiyang was the one who disguised herself as Qingru and infiltrated the Left Envoy's side. She was also the one who stole the Moon Lotus at the most crucial moment.

Moon Lotus, a secondary divine treasure.

Theoretically, if he were to encounter the person vying for the sub-divine treasure, there would only be two outcomes: either he wins and obtains the Moon Lotus, or he loses and has his consciousness erased by the Moon Lotus's owner.

Both outcomes are driven by strong motivations.

Lin Xiaosu has a strong motive to seize the Moon Lotus.

Why?

Because he unlocked the Heavenly Lock, he possessed a secondary mystical realm.

Those who have unlocked the Heavenly Lock are like those who have opened an empty box, desperately needing the most powerful demigod power to fill it. The Moon Lotus is the best treasure to enhance demigod cultivation. It's hard to imagine what unimaginable realm he could reach if he absorbed the demigod power of the Moon Lotus.

And the person who stole the treasure naturally had a motive to eliminate him.

And why?
Because the Moon Lotus is too conspicuous, as soon as it appears in the mortal world, it will immediately attract countless experts to fight for it. They will stop at nothing to seize it. If the owner of the Moon Lotus does not want to die, he should eliminate all those who know about it.

That's why it's said that, theoretically, he and Lin Weiyang will not see the afternoon sunset today.

However, some seemingly unintentional small details and some seemingly unintentional words led to a third outcome for their meeting.

That is to maintain a tacit understanding and leave gracefully.

Why is this happening?

First, the six-eared left-handed weapon that appeared on Lin Weiyang's desk caught his attention.

"Six-eared Left Hand" is a mark that appears in a confidential document.

On that day, someone sent a secret document to Qianlong's dedicated email address using a signal transmission method that no one could track. This secret document exposed the identity of the leader of the Hydra's Great Xia District.

This achievement is comparable to Lin Xiaosu's achievement on the Hydra battlefield at the end of this year.

This secret document was marked with the name "Six-Eared Left Guardian".

After Lin Xiaosu discovered this Left-Handed creature, she used the Time Reversal Technique to go back in time and saw something else. The night before last, Lin Weiyang sent another secret message in her study, still marked as Six-Eared Left-Handed. This secret message had seven names on it, and the recipient was still Qianlong's email address.

He sent the email just as Lin Xiaosu was having a great time at the Ding family villa.

He accepted Ding Ruoshui's "reward for finding people" and took Ding Ruoshui four times in one night. At that time, he did not tell anyone that he planned to go to the Middle East next, and no one knew his next itinerary.

There is absolutely no way Lin Weiyang would send a secret document on this night just to put on an act for him.

Therefore, Lin Weiyang did this not to deal with his sudden visit.

Where is Lin Xiaosu?

Could a rare treasure really destroy this loyal and patriotic hero?

If the Six-Eared Left Guardian and that secret document prevented Lin Xiaosu from taking action...

The following conversation was the key to getting him to change the settings...

"There is no distinction between right and wrong in unorthodox or heretical practices!"

"I'm a results-oriented person; I don't look at the process, I only look at the results!"

Correspondingly, when evaluating a person, shouldn't we also avoid focusing on what magical abilities they possess or how many suspicious aspects their past is, and instead examine what they are actually doing?
On the path of spiritual cultivation, I hope I am not alone.

As the great edifice crumbles, any discerning person would hope that they are not alone in this struggle.

No matter who you are or what position you originally held.

When the cataclysmic calamity arrives, we should all unite!
Autumn is coming to an end, and winter is on its way!
This cold winter is very likely to be the third day of the third lunar month next year.

On the third day of the third lunar month, there is a folk saying that "the gates of hell open".

Lin Xiaosu was not sure whether the Gates of Hell would open on this day, but he calculated that this day would be the next equatorial rift!
What does Lin Weiyang's mention of this date signify?
This means he had already calculated this equatorial rift!
Moreover, he also knew that this equatorial rift was different from the equatorial rift on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year; it was very likely the real "opening of the gates of hell"!
That's why he told Lin Xiaosu that Hydra needed to be completely eliminated before this point in time!

Eliminating Hydra completely is no easy task.

As Hydra's greatest enemy, Qianlong has been fighting Hydra since the founding of the nation. The two sides are basically evenly matched. It was only after Lin Xiaosu and Lin Weiyang joined that the situation began to turn around, forming the absolute suppression of Hydra by the Great Xia District.

There is more than just the Greater Xia region in the world.

Hydra's power loss is still extremely limited. Apart from the deaths of the two Heavenly Kings, White-Clad Heavenly King and Shadow Heavenly King, which dealt them a heavy blow, they probably don't care about the rest of the losses.

This stubborn problem must be eradicated within six months...

Lin Xiaosu wasn't sure.

But Lin Weiyang seemed confident.

Ahead was a bend in the road. Once past this bend, it would be goodbye to Baishan Residence. As Lin Xiaosu crossed the bend, she let go of her inner turmoil.

Okay, you said it yourself, you're a results-oriented person!
I don't care what you've done before, I care what you'll do next!
I wasn't born with the moon lotus.

I want it, that's normal!

It's perfectly normal for you to want to take it.

My attack on the temple objectively provided you with some assistance.

I gradually forced out Yue Lian, your trump card, and you reached out and took it away. That was a matter of assessing the situation and a contest of tactics.

We both gained something from that trip.

In terms of current combat strength, you have the power of the Moon Lotus, and I have the power of my Sub-Mystic Realm; we are evenly matched.

We'll see how it goes in the later stages...

Having resolved this inner conflict, Lin Xiaosu spotted a car parked on the side of the road.

A very flashy car, a very familiar car. Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly and saw a dashing, handsome face behind the open car window.

Zhao Zhen.

The entire bill was paid by Zhao Zhen, the third son of Zhao Gongzi.

"You checked my flight information?" Lin Xiaosu asked with a smile.

Checking flight information is easy; it doesn't require any extraordinary permissions. Ordinary people can do it, let alone Zhao Zhen.

"Actually, no! I just have some surveillance personnel on the opposite side of Bishan." Zhao Zhen tilted his head: "Come on up!"

Lin Xiaosu got into his car.

The car slowly started and drove down the mountain.

Zhao Zhen's eyes flickered slightly: "I have some surveillance of Mianbi Mountain, but I haven't yet penetrated deep into Baishan Residence. Lin Weiyang is no ordinary person!"

"Don't go any deeper for now!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly: "You visited him twice, so you've already let down your guard?"

“It has nothing to do with letting go or not letting go,” Lin Xiaosu said. “It’s just that… his ‘unusual’ nature may far exceed your expectations. Blindly infiltrating could do bad things.”

Zhao Zhen's brows relaxed: "Alright, whatever you say! ...Any other plans for this trip?"

"Yes, didn't you say last time that you'd team up with me to do something next time I come over?" Lin Xiaosu said with a smile.

This was a promise Zhao Zhen made to him during their last trip to Guangzhou.

Zhao Zhen said there was something that wasn't particularly urgent, but it was very important, and asked Lin Xiaosu to come over next time.

Zhao Zhen was moved: "You really came for this?"

"It's obviously not true that I came here specifically for you, but since we've run into each other and I don't have anything else to do, why don't you tell me what's going on?"

"This matter is a bit unusual; it involves a traitor!" Zhao Zhen began to elaborate on the matter...

Southern Group is a privately-owned enterprise.

What makes it special is that it has been investing heavily in research and development, and it has a strong political background, rejecting the infiltration of capital.

The scientific research of Southern Group is for the benefit of the nation!
Therefore, it has become a thorn in the side of hostile Western forces.

Repeated sanctions and various forms of blockade.

Most companies would have compromised long ago when faced with sanctions and blockades from the Western world, but the Southern Group founded by the Zhao family stood firm. "You block me in which field? I'll just focus on R&D in that field. You won't let me use your patents? I'll create my own patents to counter you. You won't sell me key chips? I'll develop my own chips and surpass you!"
Western countries have used many underhanded tactics against the Southern Bloc.

For example, they murdered Zhao Zhen's older brother and sister, assassinated Zhao's patriarch countless times, and organized an online attack. Of course, the most common method was to poach top engineers from the Southern Group.

One of them was named He Xinkai.

This person once went to Eagle Feather Kingdom for a seminar, but was detained by Eagle Feather Kingdom on a trumped-up charge.

It is easy to imagine what methods the Eagle Feather Kingdom used on him.

Anyway... he betrayed us!
In a very short period of time, Yingyuguo Inspur Company launched a new generation of "flying chip". From its design concept to its core components, this chip is completely consistent with the chip design concept of Southern Group's "Flying Goose Plan".

In other words, the Flying Goose Project, which originated with the Southern Group, was intercepted before it could truly take shape.

Moreover, the company that snatched the deal, Inspur, happens to be Southern Group's biggest competitor globally.

"The matter I want to discuss with you is about He Xinkai," Zhao Zhen said, taking a deep breath to conclude his opening remarks.

Lin Xiaosu asked, "To eliminate traitors?"

Zhao Zhen shook her head slightly: "To the average person, it is indeed necessary to eliminate the traitors! However, only a few people at the very top of the Southern Group know that this matter is not so simple!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Zhen said, "The Southern Group's Flying Goose Project was highly controversial at the time. He Xinkai was the strongest opponent. He pointed out a huge flaw in the flight chip, which caused the Flying Goose Project to be shelved. After he arrived in Eagle Feather Country, he rapidly promoted the flight chip without making any improvements to address that flaw. People all over the world thought he had made great contributions to Inspur Company. In fact, as long as this flaw was addressed, Inspur Company would have paid a heavy price."

"That's interesting!" Lin Xiaosu laughed. "The project he vehemently opposed was completed by him in a foreign country, and the loopholes he discovered were not fixed... Is it a replica of the 'Trojan Horse Project'?"

In the Qianlong 101 base, there is a "Trojan Horse Plan" in the espionage encyclopedia. A member of Qianlong killed his superior and defected to the enemy country with a bunch of information, becoming a traitor. The information was real, but it was precisely this pile of real information that misled the enemy country and won a precious "window of opportunity" for Daxia.

And this He Xinkai is remarkably similar to that legendary traitor.

“Possibly! But not necessarily!” Zhao Zhen said, “My dad thinks we must bring him back! Because he personally implemented the Flying Goose Plan and has firsthand information, his role in the real implementation of the Flying Goose Plan is immeasurable.”

"So, this isn't an anti-traitor operation, but a rescue mission?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Yes!"

If it's just about eliminating traitors, it's not actually that difficult.

Zhao Zhen could easily resolve this by making a trip to Eagle Feather Kingdom.

But rescue is never that easy.
How difficult would it be to bring a living person out of Eagle Feather Kingdom?
Eagle Feather Kingdom is not Durta.

It is the world's number one military power.

Whether it's the Southern Group or the Hidden Dragon, no matter how many identities Zhao Zhen has, he can't figure out how to bring this person, who is directly controlled by the Eagle Feather Kingdom's intelligence agency, out of Eagle Feather Kingdom.

They could only turn to Lin Xiaosu for help.

Lin Xiaosu leaned back in his seat, watching the highway rush by outside the window. His expression was calm at this moment, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

This is a thoughtful expression.

Zhao Zhen let out a soft sigh: "I don't want you to go there in person. I want you to give me some ideas. After all, there's a rumor that your plans are as brilliant as Bai Shui's!"

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "You've flattered me so much, how can I possibly respond? Bai Shui's strategy is intricate and profound, but I don't possess his meticulous calculations... I personally prefer unconventional approaches." (End of Chapter)
