Chapter 372: Chapter 372: The Person to Visit: Lin Weiyang "Tomorrow I have an appointment. I want to visit someone." Lin Xiaosu lifted the teacup. "Who?" "The founder of the Mountain and Sea Club, a boss with the same surname as mine." "Lin Weiyang!" Zhao Zhen exclaimed. "Do you know him?" "Of course, and I know a bit more about him than the average person." Lin Xiaosu smiled, "Tell me, what kind of person is he..." Zhao Zhen began to speak... Lin Weiyang, back then, was a university professor at Southern University. His academic direction was quite niche, focusing on biology—not bioengineering, but ancient creatures. Currently, there are probably a dozen well-known university professors researching ancient creatures, such as Xiang Yixiu and Yin Dingxian from Nanjiang University. However, in his era, there weren’t so many. Lin Weiyang could be considered a lone pioneer in the field of ancient creatures research. If he hadn’t switched directions midway, he might have become a grandmaster in this field. At the time, figures like Xiang Yixiu and Yin Dingxian, compared to him, were mere juniors. But, he changed his path. The reason for his change: hostile foreign forces extended an olive branch to him. Not only did he refuse, but he also turned the insider trying to recruit him over to the Daxia court. That storm caused quite a stir; thirteen professors and a vice president of a university were taken down, leading to significant national involvement and the start of a "university anti-reactionary" campaign. This move defended his reputation as a professor, but it also brought him immense disaster. His parents, wife, and children were all killed by enemy plots. He also sparked fear among others in the university, gradually making it impossible for him to continue there. Thus, he left his academic career and embarked on his legendary business journey. It must be admitted that although this person is physically weak, his mind is exceptionally sharp. In the business world, he thrived, amassing a billion-dollar fortune in just over a decade. He once again displayed an extraordinary side of himself. He didn’t focus on expanding and strengthening his business empire as his primary goal. Instead, he viewed commerce as a way to accumulate his initial capital. After amassing a billion funds, he founded the Mountain and Sea Club. He wanted to present the exotic beasts from the "Mountain and River Scripture" to the public in a visual way. To identify the characteristics of these exotic beasts, to find their weaknesses. So, if someday the legends came true, and the Ancient Wilderness broke through the realm, the human world would have strategies to deal with it. As Zhao Zhen spoke about Lin Weiyang, her words lost their casual tone, subtly revealing a hint of respect. Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly, "So, your overall conclusion is that this professor is highly respectable." "Based on current circumstances, he is undoubtedly respectable. However, people are inscrutable; everyone only shows the side they want to show." Zhao Zhen said, "Why are you meeting with him?" "Strictly speaking, it’s not me meeting him, but him meeting me!" Lin Xiaosu replied. "Can you take me to tomorrow’s meeting?" Zhao Zhen asked. "No!" "Then... I won’t distract you too much today. After you meet up tomorrow, I’ll contact you again." "Alright!" The time from when they entered the tea room with flair to when they left was merely half an hour. Afterward, Lin Xiaosu and Yixiang toured the exhibition area of the expo hand in hand and arrived at the beach outside. The horizon and sea were one, the sand was white and clear, the wind carried a faint fragrance of flowers. People were as they were yesterday. A night of romance bloomed again, and the next morning, Yixiang woke up early. Why? Because there was another visitor today. Blue Demon had made an appointment with him. She left her room, walking a turtle outside. Blue Demon saw her first, approached her, and asked, "You’re up so early?" Yixiang responded with a smile, "I get up even earlier back in the village, it’s a habit." "What about him? Is he up?" "I don’t know, I heard noises from his room in the middle of the night, so he probably slept late... Should I call him?" "No need, I’ll go directly!" Yixiang sat on the bench, stroking the White Turtle’s head, feeling a bit nervous. Is the bad brother up? Is the bed tidied up? Blue Demon came to his room door, knocked, and Lin Xiaosu opened the door. He was fully dressed, the bed was tidy, the kettle was boiling on the table, and the teacups had been washed. With the door closed, Lin Xiaosu spoke directly, "I have another meeting today, so I don’t have much time for small talk. I’ll get straight to the point!" "Alright!" "What are you planning to do about the Life Soul Gu?" The matter of the Life Soul Gu... Blue Demon slightly wrinkles her brow, "Headquarters considers this matter very important, and has already dispatched five teams, starting from the exposed clues. Given time, there will be results, but the enemy is also very alert; in just one day, they’ve severed three connection lines. Since you proactively mentioned this matter, I feel you might have a way to reconnect the severed lines." Lin Xiaosu gently shakes his head. "Can’t you connect them? That can’t be right?" Blue Demon is slightly startled. His detective skills are extraordinary. The enemy severing the clues is nothing but silencing witnesses. Since it’s about killing people, he should theoretically be able to trace the real murderer and gain some results by following the trail. On the way here, Blue Demon had already imagined whether to formally commission him for this matter, allowing the Life Soul operation to have a powerful aid, and his detective agency to have a long-lasting source of income. A win-win situation. However, just as she started, Lin Xiaosu shook his head. "It’s not that I can’t connect them, but I don’t think this method is the best." "Certainly not the best method, but undoubtedly the safest method," Blue Demon says. "Safe... The word safe, in a deadly battlefield maneuver, sometimes has another synonym called missing the opportunity!" Missing the opportunity! Blue Demon’s gaze slowly lifts, "Tell me your plan!" "The authorities should proactively release information, fully disclose the Life Soul Gu matter, inform all citizens, and let those afflicted voluntarily go to designated locations for testing and assistance!" Blue Demon’s heart races, "Publishing this will cause public panic, which the top is strongly avoiding." "Is panic better, or letting the enemy truly take lives?" Blue Demon freezes... "King Lantian, when weighing two evils, choose the lesser; you know this better than I do. The Life Soul Gu infiltrates all trades, and you understand its harm better than I do. Thousands of elites are already standing on the edge of a cliff, one more step and it’s an abyss. Daxia Country is already riddled with holes, a national crisis is imminent, can we still worry about public panic?" Blue Demon slightly closes her eyes, "Continue, do your best to convince me!" "I don’t need to use many words, I just need to remind you of one thing," Lin Xiaosu says, "This matter, from our perspective, is a difficult problem posed by Nine Headed Snake, but from the standpoint of battlefield maneuvers, it’s a rare opportunity to cut off Nine Headed Snake’s roots!" Blue Demon suddenly opens her eyes, "Opportunity?" Lin Xiaosu says, "Since ancient times, so-called crises always have opportunities; battlefield maneuvers are the same. Life Soul Gu is a major project of Nine Headed Snake, and theoretically, all Nine Headed Snake bases within Daxia have participated. We launch a desperate counterattack, put ourselves in a dead-end to survive, and certainly a large number of people afflicted with Life Soul Gu will step forward! When one of these people steps forward, they will surely bring out the pair of black hands behind them. In other words, if we save one person, they lose one person. If they decide to take drastic measures and kill these people, for every person they kill, they will expose one person. For us, this battle is very brutal. But for them, this battle is even more brutal! Because regardless of success or failure, they will face an existential crisis!" Blue Demon slowly says, "Your drastic method has a fatal flaw. Have you considered it..." "What?" "Most of those who know they’ve been afflicted with the Life Soul Gu have already committed harmful acts against Daxia; they dare not step forward. Someone like Sun Jun from Changsheng Group, who testified against Li Yubin, is just an exception. Because he was only recently threatened, he hasn’t substantively betrayed his country yet." Lin Xiaosu says, "It depends on whether Chief Long can negotiate a policy." "Policy?" "Yes, anyone who committed a major crime under the pressure of the Life Soul Gu, as long as they voluntarily step forward to expose the masterminds behind them, can redeem their crimes and be given amnesty!" Lin Xiaosu stares into Blue Demon’s eyes and says slowly, "Chief Long, do you think it’s feasible?" If outsiders were present, they would definitely be puzzled about who he’s speaking to. Chief Long? Where? Suddenly, within Blue Demon’s eyes, a shimmering image appears. Within the image, an office, a figure, the office is very vague, the figure is also very vague, outline unclear, but a natural aura of awe surfaces, perhaps this is the authority of the "superior." The figure laughs, "To capture my presence through the subtle shimmer in Blue Demon’s Dragon Eye, you are indeed a superb detective, admirable!" "I don’t dare!" Lin Xiaosu stands up, bows facing the image. Chief Long gently sighs, his voice turning serious, "You are right, weighing two evils and choosing the lighter is an ancient principle, as is the idea that a crisis brings opportunity. Punishing criminals is a legal matter, but when it concerns Daxia’s overall situation, the law is also flexible. I personally accept your plan, and I will immediately report to the top, striving to make it happen." Blue Demon and Lin Xiaosu exchange a glance, both are invigorated. Chief Long says, "Blue Demon!" "Here!" "You decide on the designated points. Discuss the arrangement with little Su!" "Yes!" Chief Long’s figure slowly leans forward as if trying to see Lin Xiaosu more clearly, his tone becoming gentle, "Little Su, when you have time, I invite you to visit Headquarters." "Alright!" "Such a good young man, hmm, not bad..." Chief Long lightly smiles, his figure vanishing. The faint shimmer within Blue Demon’s Dragon Eye also disappears, truly vanishing. Only the two of them remain in the room. Truly just the two of them. Blue Demon gently smiles, "Don’t blame me for using this little trick, actually, this little trick is what the ’Old Man’ wanted to use, and I really couldn’t refuse him." She refers to the fact that her Dragon Eye is shared with Chief Long. "That’s nothing, anyway what we were going to discuss, you would eventually have to report to him, getting him personally involved is actually better." Lin Xiaosu is quite relieved. Blue Demon gently smiles, "Do you know why he wanted to see you? The real reason is far more interesting than you think."
