Chapter 22 Fatal Weakness
Chapter 22 Fatal Weakness
"Zhou Zheng has already told you about the situation at headquarters. I am Liu Xiaoyu, the operator in the second liaison office at headquarters, specifically responsible for contacting Zhou Zheng."
The woman on the phone identified herself, her voice tinged with barely concealed anxiety.
Liu Xiaoyu?
The future operator of Ghost Eye Yang Jian?
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "You say you're Liu Xiaoyu, so you really are Liu Xiaoyu? Come on, please prove your identity!"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before the voice, sounding somewhat exasperated, finally spoke: "I don't need proof of my identity. It's fine if you don't want to believe me, but I have to tell you something now: Zhou Zheng is indeed in danger!"
Based on Liu Xiaoyu's explanation, Lin Yuan understood the general idea.
After he voluntarily left with the people from Xiaoqiang Club, Zhou Zheng reported the matter to headquarters, but did not catch up with him.
The situation became serious after a serious car accident occurred on the ring road, and the driver, Ye Jun, a member of the Xiaoqiang Club, shot and killed an innocent civilian in an attempt to steal the car.
As the person in charge of Dachang City, Zhou Zheng first went to the scene to confirm the situation, and then went straight to Xiaoqiang Club to demand an explanation.
"Zhou Zheng's GPS is currently located at the Xiaoqiang Club, but no one is answering his phone. The Xiaoqiang Club is very powerful, and Zhou Zheng is likely to be targeted if he goes there. We know you and Zhou Zheng have a good relationship and are friends, so we'd like to ask you to help rescue him!"
After listening, Lin Yuan immediately said, "Okay, but I have one more question."
"you say."
"The satellite-located mobile phones at headquarters have backdoors. If headquarters wants, they can force a connection on their own. Haven't you tried?"
"this……"
"Also, Wang Xiaoqiang is Wang Xiaoming's younger brother. Although he's a bit domineering, he wouldn't actually dare to kill someone in charge of a region, at least not in such a crude way. Or has Wang Xiaoqiang lost his mind?"
"..."
"Oh, right, there's one more question. When Zhou Zheng reported to you, didn't he mention that I had already joined Xiaoqiang Club?"
"..."
"Alright, since you want me to go and provide support, you should at least give me the address... no, you should arrange a car to take me there, right? The ring road is already completely jammed."
"Hold on."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan leisurely ate the breakfast that Liu Qi had brought him.
Within minutes, a black car pulled up a short distance away, and two uniformed staff members got out and approached Lin Yuan, politely saying, "Mr. Lin, we're here to take you to Xiao Qiang Club."
"Okay, let's go."
Lin Yuan threw the remaining packaging bags into the trash can, and amidst the surprised gazes of passersby, he was escorted into the car by the two staff members.
The car door closed, and the car drove off, not along Binjiang Avenue or the ring expressway, but directly out of the city.
……
"Mr. Wang, it's all taken care of. Lin Yuan should be here in about half an hour."
Inside the luxurious office, a woman in a slip dress and with exquisite makeup is holding her phone, her pretty face full of a boastful expression as she looks at the man opposite her.
The man was dressed in a suit and tie, looking every bit the business elite, but his face was cold and his temperament was gloomy, making him seem like someone not to be trifled with.
He looked up at the woman, and the disappointment in his eyes made her panic instantly. "Mr. Wang?"
"Idiot! You're being led by the nose and you don't even realize it." The man sneered. The call had been on speakerphone the whole time, so he had heard it all clearly.
The woman was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "You mean he guessed that I'm not Liu Xiaoyu? Impossible, he clearly already..."
"roll!"
The man, addressed as General Manager Wang, gave a low shout. The woman, who had been about to argue, turned pale and dared not refute him any further. She bowed to the man and then fled the office as if escaping.
The man got up and walked to the window.
Instead of the view outside the window, there was a much larger, more luxurious hall, and his office, located on the second floor, had a clear view of the entire hall.
The hall is spacious and clearly designed for leisure and entertainment, with many entertainment facilities and a large bar table filled with all kinds of drinks.
There weren't many people in the hall, only seven or eight, but they were divided into two distinct camps.
There was only one person on one side, and that was Zhou Zheng.
He stood in the center of the hall, surrounded by six or seven people who were looking at him with mocking eyes, as if he were prey.
The phone rang again.
The man, referred to as General Manager Wang, glanced at the satellite-guided phone in his hand. The number on it was a call from headquarters, but he didn't answer it and instead turned the phone off.
"Mr. Wang, you just said that Lin Yuan has already figured out this is a trap. Will he really come? Or will he take this opportunity to run away?"
Not far behind the man, Ye Jun asked with a worried expression.
As a member of the Xiaoqiang Club, there is only one person he would address with such respect: the chairman of the Xiaoqiang Club.
Wang Xiaoqiang!
"I had the people in Dajing City analyze his personality. He's only recently taken control of a vengeful spirit, so he's not heavily corrupted by supernatural influences yet, and he still possesses the passion and kindness of youth. Just like how he pretended to go with you and Ye Feng to protect Zhou Zheng."
Wang Xiaoqiang's words were like a slap in the face, landing hard on Ye Jun's cheek.
He only realized that Lin Yuan's act of joining Ye Feng was feigned rather than genuine when Lin Yuan made his move against them. However, Wang Xiaoqiang had already guessed the general idea based on the incomplete information he provided.
Even if they borrowed resources from Dajing City, it's still too terrifying.
And... this person is unkillable...
"He's strong and intelligent, and his friendship with Zhou Zheng stems from their shared sense of morality and kindness. Unfortunately, in this day and age, morality and kindness are no longer precious qualities; rather, they can be fatal weaknesses!"
Wang Xiaoqiang's voice was calm, but the murderous intent in his words sent a chill down Ye Jun's spine.
He quickly said, "Chairman Wang, Lin Yuan was tactless and almost killed Ye Feng. Killing him is no problem. But Zhou Zheng, he is, after all, the head of headquarters. If we kill him, wouldn't that... cause you trouble?"
What he actually meant was Wang Xiaoming.
Sensing the sudden chill emanating from Wang Xiaoqiang, Ye Jun decisively changed his tune—he didn't want to court death.
"I won't kill Zhou Zheng, but he's too irresponsible. A good scolding will suffice. Look at his belly, only six or seven months along, isn't it a bit small?"
