Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Zhao Zhen’s Task Lin Weiyang, who disguised as Qing Ru and infiltrated the Left Envoy’s side, was also the one who seized the Moon Lotus at the most critical moment. Moon Lotus, the Sub-god Treasure. Theoretically, when he saw the one who stole the Sub-god Treasure, there could only be two outcomes: either he wins and acquires the Moon Lotus, or he loses and has his consciousness erased by the possessor of the Moon Lotus. Both outcomes have very strong motivations. Lin Xiaosu has the motive to seize the Moon Lotus, and the motive is extremely strong. Why? Because he has unlocked the Heavenly Human Lock, and he possesses the Sub-divine Realm. A person who has unlocked the Heavenly Human Lock is like someone who opened an empty box, urgently needing the mightiest Sub-god Power to fill it. And the Moon Lotus is the best treasure for enhancing one’s Sub-god Cultivation. It’s hard to imagine what kind of extraordinary heights he could reach if he absorbs the Sub-god Power of the Moon Lotus. And that treasure-seizer naturally also has the motive to erase him. Why again? Because the Moon Lotus attracts too much attention, and as soon as it appears in the world, it will immediately draw countless experts to snatch it with every possible means. Therefore, the possessor of the Moon Lotus, if they don’t want to die, should erase all those who know about it. So theoretically, he and Lin Weiyang, one of them wouldn’t see the sunset this afternoon. However, some seemingly unintended small details, some seemingly casual words, gave their meeting a third outcome. Which is to maintain a tacit understanding and to leave calmly. Why did this happen? First, because of the Six-Eared Left Holder that appeared on Lin Weiyang’s desk, which caught his attention. Six-Eared Left Holder, it’s a mark that appeared on a confidential document. On that day, someone sent a confidential document to Qianlong’s dedicated email using an untraceable signal method. This document completely exposed the identity of the General Leader of the Nine Headed Snake Daxia District. This achievement is comparable to Lin Xiaosu’s accomplishments on the Nine Headed Snake battlefield at the end of the year. This confidential document marked a "Six-Eared Left Holder." And after Lin Xiaosu discovered this Left Holder gimmick, using the magic of time space reversal, he witnessed something: Two nights ago, Lin Weiyang in the study room, again sent a confidential document, still marked with Six-Eared Left Holder. This document had seven names on it, and the recipient was still that Qianlong email. He sent the email precisely while Lin Xiaosu was having a great time at Ding’s Villa. He received Ding Ruoshui’s "reward for finding someone," and had been with Ding Ruoshui four times overnight. At that time, he didn’t tell anyone his next step was heading to the Middle East, nor did anyone know his next journey. Lin Weiyang absolutely couldn’t have sent a confidential document just for performing a play during this night. So what Lin Weiyang did was not to cope with his sudden visit. What about Lin Xiaosu? Could he destroy this patriotic hero for an Exotic Treasure? If the Six-Eared Left Holder and that confidential document prevented Lin Xiaosu from acting; the subsequent conversation was what really made him change his determination... "Orthodox or unorthodox, there’s no distinction between them!" "I am a result-oriented person. I don’t look at the process, only the outcome!" Correspondingly, does judging a person also mean we shouldn’t look at what magic they possess, how many doubts they’ve had in the past, but rather what they are doing? On the Cultivation Path, I hope this path is not a solitary one. In a collapsing mansion, any insightful person also hopes this path is not alone. No matter who the person is, no matter what stance they held before. When the heaven-tilting disaster comes, everyone should unite! Autumn is about to pass, winter is coming! This winter could very likely be next year’s third day of March. On the third day of March, there’s a saying among the people called "Ghost Gate Opens." Lin Xiaosu was originally unsure whether the Ghost Gate would open on this day, but he calculated that this date is the next Equatorial Split Sun! When Lin Weiyang mentioned this date, what does that signify? It shows that he too has calculated this Equatorial Split Sun! Moreover, he knows this Equatorial Split Sun is different from this year’s Equatorial Split Sun on the first day of the Lunar New Year; it is quite possibly the actual "Ghost Gate Opens"! So he told Lin Xiaosu that the Nine Headed Snake needs to be completely eradicated before this time point! Completely eradicating the Nine Headed Snake, how hard could that be? Qianlong, as the mortal enemy of the Nine Headed Snake, has struggled with them since the founding of the nation. With both parties being evenly matched, it wasn’t until Lin Xiaosu and Lin Weiyang, the "Twin Lins," joined forces that they slowly turned the tide, forcing a complete suppression of the Nine Headed Snake in the Daxia District. Globally, it’s not just the Daxia District. The power loss of the Nine Headed Snake is still very limited; besides the deaths of the White clothed King and the Shadowy Heaven King hurting them, they presumably don’t care much about the other losses. To eliminate this stubborn disease within half a year... Lin Xiaosu had no grasp. But Lin Weiyang seemed to have a hold on it. Just ahead was a bend; turning past this corner would also mean bidding farewell to Bai shan residence. As Lin Xiaosu crossed this bend, he laid down the conflicts in his heart. Okay, as you said yourself, a result-oriented person! I won’t look at what you did before; I’ll look at what you’ll do next! The Moon Lotus wasn’t something I was born with. I want to take it, that’s normal! You want it too, which is also entirely normal. I targeted the Divine Temple, which objectively assisted you. I gradually forced out the Moon Lotus card, and you reached out to pluck it, that is gauging the situation, that is a contest of strategies. During that journey, both you and I gained our respective rewards. Currently, in terms of combat strength reserves, you have the formidable Moon Lotus, and I have my Sub-divine Realm’s prowess. It’s equally matched. Then let’s see later on... Having unraveled this knot in his heart, Lin Xiaosu spotted a car by the roadside. A very flashy car, a very familiar car. Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly as he saw the window roll down to reveal a dashing, handsome face. Zhao Zhen. The third Young Master Zhao who picks up the bill for everyone. "Did you check my flight information?" Lin Xiaosu said with a smile. Flight information is easy to check, doesn’t require any amazing privileges. Even ordinary people have ways to check it, let alone Zhao Zhen? "Actually, no! I just have some surveillance over Mianbi Mountain." Zhao Zhen tilted his head: "Get in!" Lin Xiaosu got into his car. The car slowly started, heading down the mountain. Zhao Zhen’s eyes flickered slightly: "Mianbi Mountain, I have some surveillance, but so far I haven’t penetrated Bai shan residence, Lin Weiyang is not an ordinary person!" "Don’t delve deeper for now!" Lin Xiaosu said. Zhao Zhen frowned slightly: "You’ve visited him twice, have you already let down your guard?" "It has nothing to do with letting my guard down," Lin Xiaosu said. "It’s just that... his ’unusualness’ may far exceed your expectations. Blind infiltration may ruin things." Zhao Zhen’s frown relaxed: "Alright, I’ll listen to you!... Do you have any other plans for coming over this time?" "Yes, didn’t you say last time? You asked me to come over next time and team up to do something?" Lin Xiaosu said with a smile. This was the agreement Zhao Zhen made with him on his last trip to Yangcheng. Zhao Zhen had said there was something that wasn’t urgent but important, and he asked Lin Xiaosu to come over next time. Zhao Zhen was moved: "Did you really come for this matter?" "To say I came just for you wouldn’t be true, but since I happened to be here, and I’ve got nothing much on hand, why not tell me about your matter?" "This matter is quite special; it involves a traitor!" Zhao Zhen began to unfold the story... Southern Group, a private enterprise in Daxia. Its special nature lies in its hefty investment in R&D and its pure roots, refusing any capital infiltration. The research of Southern Group is for the nation! Thus, it became a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh of opposing Western forces. Repeated sanctions and various blockades. Most companies would have compromised in the face of Western sanctions and blockades long ago, but the Zhao family-founded Southern Group just withstood it. In whichever field you block me, I focus my R&D on that field. If you don’t want me to use your patents, I’ll create my patents to counter you. If you don’t sell me the key chip, I’ll develop my own chip and overtake you! Western countries have used many underhanded tactics against Southern Group. Such as killing Zhao Zhen’s elder brother and sister, numerous assassination attempts on the Zhao family’s old master, organizing paid internet trolls to attack, but most commonly trying to poach Southern Group’s top engineers. Among them was a person named He Xinkai. This person was detained in Yingyu Country under a trumped-up charge while attending a seminar. What measures Yingyu Country used on him is imaginable. In any case... he betrayed! In a very short time, the Yingyu Country’s Lang Chao Company launched a new generation "Flying Chip," and this chip’s design concept and core modules were identical to Southern Group’s design thinking in the "Flying Chip Plan." In other words, the Flying Chip Plan, which originated in Southern Group, was intercepted before it could truly take shape. Moreover, the one who intercepted it, Lang Chao Company, happened to be Southern Group’s biggest competitor worldwide. "The matter I want to discuss with you is about He Xinkai." Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, finishing his opening. Lin Xiaosu said: "Uprooting the traitor?" Zhao Zhen shook his head gently: "To the average person, yes, traitors should be uprooted! But, only the top few people in Southern Group know this matter isn’t that simple!" "Oh?" Zhao Zhen said: "The Southern Group’s Flying Chip Plan was very controversial at the time, and He Xinkai was one of the strongest opponents. He pointed out a major flaw in the Flying Chip, which stalled the Flying Chip Plan; however, after he got to Yingyu Country and quickly advanced their Flying Chip, he didn’t make any improvements on that flaw. The whole world thinks he made great contributions to Lang Chao Company, but actually, just targeting that flaw would cause Lang Chao Company a heavy price." "Interesting, huh!" Lin Xiaosu laughed: "A project he staunchly opposed, in a foreign country, he implemented with his own hands, and he didn’t fix the flaw he discovered... a replica of the ’Trojan Horse Project’?" In the Hidden Dragon 101 Base, there is a ’Trojan Horse Project’ in the Spy War Manual, where a Qianlong member killed his superior, fled to an enemy country with a heap of real data, but it was precisely this heap of real data that misled the enemy, buying Daxia precious ’window’ time. And He Xinkai is remarkably similar to that legendary insider. "It’s possible! But not certain!" Zhao Zhen said: "My dad thinks we must bring him back! Because he personally implemented the Flying Chip Plan, he has firsthand information, and his role in the real implementation of the Flying Chip Plan is invaluable." "So, this isn’t a traitor-cleansing operation, but a rescue mission?" Lin Xiaosu asked. "Yes!" If it were just traitor-cleansing, it wouldn’t be particularly difficult. Zhao Zhen could have easily taken care of it with a trip to Yingyu Country. But a rescue, how could it be that easy? To bring a living person out of Yingyu Country, what a challenge! Yingyu Country isn’t Durta. It’s the number one military power in the world. Whether Southern Group or Qianlong, regardless of how many identities Zhao Zhen might have, he couldn’t think of a way to bring someone under direct control of the Yingyu Country CIA out of their country. The only thing he could do is seek help from Lin Xiaosu. Lin Xiaosu leaned back in his seat, watching the road fly by outside the window, his face calm at this moment, but his eyes sparkling with a few gleams. It was an expression of contemplation. Zhao Zhen lightly exhaled: "I’m not asking you to go personally; I want you to give me an idea. After all, there’s a rumor that your strategic planning rivals that of Bai Shui!" Lin Xiaosu laughed: "You’re putting such a tall hat on me, how can I possibly respond? Bai Shui’s strategies are intricate and profound, I certainly don’t have his meticulous calculations... I personally have a bit of a preference for the unconventional."
