I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Miss Shen, is your information reliable?"

Lin Chen tried his best to calm himself down, but his hand holding the phone was trembling uncontrollably.

On the contrary, Han Xiuyun was unusually calm, not because she was strong-willed, but because her mind was blank at that moment.

When she heard Shen Yulan say that her daughter Lin Yao was likely dead in the explosion at Qixing Bay, her mind went blank.

"I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is the situation we have."

Shen Yulan then recounted the whole story she had learned from Yu Jinghong, but she didn't tell Lin Chen that the source of the information was Yu Jinghong.

"lady!"

Han Xiuyun fell straight backward, but Granny Chen rushed forward and caught her, preventing her from suffering a concussion.

Chen Po breathed a sigh of relief, finally accomplishing something and regaining a little bit of her confidence.

After settling his wife in and having the doctor examine her to confirm that she was alright, Lin Chen was secretly heartbroken for a long time before forcing himself to cheer up.

He instructed the servants to guard the kitchen, put away all the sharp objects in the house that could cause injury, and even locked the vases in the cupboard.

There's only one principle: anything Han Xiuyun can move is a dangerous item. Who knows who it might fall on?

Lin Chen mentally prepared himself for his wife's furious outburst, which included crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

Let her make a scene; it's good for her to vent.

Anyway, the grief has reached its limit, so a little more or less won't make a difference. If his wife's outburst can make him feel better, then it's worth it.

However, when Han Xiuyun woke up, Lin Chen realized that he didn't seem to know his wife very well.

Han Xiuyun didn't cry, didn't make a scene, and didn't even shed a tear. She just sat quietly, as if she had lost her soul.

This frightened Lin Chen, who kept asking Han Xiuyun questions, but Han Xiuyun remained silent and didn't even glance at him.

That evening, Gu Qingya reported the news of Qin Ge's death in Jinling to the organization.

The reason for the long delay in reporting was out of caution, since none of them had seen Qin Ge's body.

Although the possibility is extremely slim, if Qin Ge is not dead, then they would be lying about the mission results.

This will severely damage the reputation of Moyitang. Moyitang dares to charge such high prices because of its reputation. Destroying its reputation is like throwing away its livelihood.

If such a thing were to happen, Gu Qingya and his group would certainly be severely punished.

Now that Qin Ge hasn't appeared for so long, Gu Qingya and the others think he must be dead, and it's time for them to claim credit.

In their efforts to kill Qin Ge, Mo Yi Tang has lost many top experts!

Upon receiving the news, Huo Qianjue immediately had champagne opened to celebrate.

That night, the elderly man broke his own rule and indulged in meat, leaving three young girls in the room.

So what if you're older? As long as you're willing to take drugs, you might still be able to put up a fight.

Even if one is incapable of handling important matters, it's still good to have a taste.

Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Song still hadn't dealt with Yu Jinghong.

Firstly, I feel that the matter has not been fully investigated. It is said that Wu Nanzhi kidnapped Lu Qi and Lin Yao one after another, and then blew up Qixing Bay. Who would believe that?

There is no evidence whatsoever. Even the fish and shrimp in Qixing Bay were blown up. Is it all based on Yu Jinghong's one-sided statement?

Secondly, they felt that Yu Jinghong had not done anything wrong, but that it did not conform to the rules of Yingwu Hall.

If he had been younger and had encountered the same situation as Yu Jinghong, he probably would have killed even more ruthlessly!

But even if he wanted to favor Yu Jinghong, he couldn't, because there was no evidence to prove that what Yu Jinghong said was true.

The higher-ups have been putting pressure on Qiao Song, even giving him a deadline to find out the truth about the deaths of Wu Nanzhi and other Dongyang people.

Qiao Song was very unhappy, so he simply cheated.

Give me whatever deadline you want, I'll just overdue it and what?

This relieved Yang Xin'er, as she was genuinely afraid that Qin Ge would do something irreversible for Yu Jinghong.

Qin Ge was a little frustrated; he realized he had misjudged again.

He successfully shed his skin and moved from the open to the shadows, but that doesn't necessarily mean his opponent moved from the shadows to the open.

We've waited so long, and our opponent still hasn't shown up. What kind of situation is this?!

Right now, it's like the two sides are playing hide-and-seek in the dark. Both sides are just hiding and no one is looking for them. This game could go on forever without any result!

"Xiao Xin'er, how about we make a bet?"

Qin Ge had a new idea.

"How do we bet?" Yang Xin'er asked, intrigued.

"I bet Lin Yuan is the mastermind!" Qin Ge smiled slyly. "If it really is Lin Yuan, why do you think he'd go through all this trouble?"

"Didn't they say a master appeared that day? That means Lin Yuan has capable people around him, right?"

"Then why didn't he just have Lin Zhinian and Lin Chen killed? Wouldn't that make the Lin family his?"

Yang Xin'er sighed softly, unable to hide her disappointment. "Are you a child?"

"Why do you think that killing Lin Zhinian and Lin Chen would make the Lin family belong to Lin Yuan?"

"Without a will, he's nothing!"

"There was a slight possibility before, but after Lin Yuan fell out with the Lin family, there's absolutely no chance anymore. Lin Zhinian's will won't leave Lin Yuan a single penny!"

Do you know how many people are in the Lin family?

"Including collateral branches, there are several thousand people. If the Lin family is leaderless, why would those people listen to Lin Yuan?"

"It's true that Lin Yuan wanted to kill Lin Zhinian before, but now he's definitely the one who least wants Lin Zhinian to die!"

"At least before he took control of the Lin family, he absolutely did not want Lin Zhinian to die."

"Wow, there are so many intricacies involved!" Qin Ge exclaimed. "I thought Lin Zhinian only had two sons, and with him and Lin Chen dead, it would be natural for Lin Yuan to inherit the Lin family business!"

Yang Xin'er said, "If what you say is true, wouldn't those powerful figures in those wealthy families be in constant danger? Are they really that stupid?"

"I wasn't born into a wealthy family, and I have no interest in understanding these things, so it's normal that I don't know!" Qin Ge's eyes darted around, and another idea came to her. "Since Lin Zhinian can't die, then Lin Chen can die, right?"

Yang Xin'er was startled. "What do you want to do?"

"Fishing!" Qin Ge smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I wouldn't go so far as to kill Lin Chen. He's Lin Yao's father, after all, and we have no grudge against each other. Why would I kill him?"

"However, it's still worth considering having him act as bait."

"The Lin family has a clear advantage in the open and covert struggle between the Lin and Lu families. If Lin Yuan is really the one behind it all, he should be worried. Logically speaking, he should take the bait."

"If I were him, I would kill Lin Chen first!"

"No matter how you look at it now, Lin Chen is Lin Yuan's biggest obstacle. If Lin Chen doesn't die, it will be extremely difficult for him to control the Lin family!"

"That makes sense." Yang Xin'er pondered for a moment, "But how do you get Lin Chen to cooperate as bait?"

"Are you going to meet him?"

"Then all your previous efforts were wasted?"
