Chapter 150: Be Extremely Low-Key
Over the phone, Chen Bu'e, the supreme commander of the Imperial Capital's military zone, was sitting in his office smoking a cigar.
Hearing Lin Shuang's words, Chen Bu'e's expression stiffened, and he suddenly sprang up from his chair!
"King of the Underworld! Who has offended you again? Don't act rashly, let's talk!" over the phone, Chen Bu'e pleaded in a grave tone.
He was really afraid that the madman King of the Underworld would inadvertently plunge the south into great turmoil.
He vividly remembered the chaos the King of the Underworld had caused in the Imperial Capital years ago, which had thrown the entire city into massive disorder.
Chen Bu'e was truly scared. This madman mustn't take any rash actions.
Lin Shuang, holding the phone, said coldly, "Isn't that why I called you? Can you resolve it?"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Bu'e said gravely, "Yes! Tell me, who has offended you?"
Lin Shuang's voice was indifferent, "The Deputy City Lord of the south, Gao Yuan, is corrupt and abusive of his authority. He colludes with the Bai Family, becoming their protective umbrella. His crime is unforgivable. Chen Bu'e, you have 48 hours to take him down, or else... I'll handle it myself."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bu'e paused in shock, then he said solemnly, "Rest assured! Let me verify the truth! If it is as you say, I will make sure he is caught and severely punished."
"King of the Underworld! During this time in the south, you must keep a low profile and avoid causing any trouble, leave some dignity for me… Your methods are only suited for overseas, the Dark World, not suitable for domestic use since we are ultimately a society governed by law…" Before Chen Bu'e could finish, Lin Shuang had already hung up the phone.
Because another call had come into his phone.
It was from President Su Wanqiao.
"Lin Shuang, where are you? I've been looking for you for a long time," Su Wanqiao's voice came through the phone.
The coldness in Lin Shuang's eyes finally dissipated, and he regained his composure, answering softly, "My phone broke. I went out to get it fixed. Is there something wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Wanqiao said gravely, "I need to step out to inspect the warehouse losses. Come back and pick me up."
"Okay." Lin Shuang responded and then turned back to the company…
After returning to the company, Lin Shuang personally drove, escorting Su Wanqiao to inspect the twenty-some robbed medicinal herb warehouses.
These days, Hai City was very chaotic. For her personal safety, Su Wanqiao could only keep Lin Shuang by her side at all times.
Lin Shuang, the driver, had now become Su Wanqiao's greatest reliance because his martial arts skills were inscrutable.
When Su Wanqiao saw the losses at those twenty-some warehouses, her pretty face turned somewhat unsightly.
The losses were severe; twenty-some warehouses, a total of twenty-some billion worth of medicinal herbs… all robbed.
If these medicinal goods cannot be delivered on time, Su Group will face a huge compensation of several hundred billion.
This was the harshest impact.
If they couldn't get through this crisis, Su Group would go directly into bankruptcy and liquidation.
Just then, a subordinate suddenly rushed in to report, "President Su… according to our thorough investigation, last night's robbery at the medicinal warehouses… is greatly related to the Bai Group… Our undercover contacts in the underground market have discovered that last night, Peace Society purchased a large quantity of lock-picking tools… It's very likely that Bai Wangchuan colluded with Peace Society to rob our warehouses!"
Hearing the subordinate's report, Su Wanqiao's pretty face changed.
Was it him?
Was it Bai Wangchuan?!
He still hadn't stopped? Even after the company had been seized and Bai Wangchuan had become a fugitive, he still dared to collaborate with underground societies to rob Su Wanqiao's warehouses?
This was simply lawlessness!
Su Wanqiao clenched her teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
"Find out! Locate Bai Wangchuan's whereabouts! Then inform the relevant departments to arrest him immediately!" Su Wanqiao ordered through clenched teeth!
Bai Wangchuan was currently a wanted criminal in the south, and as soon as they tracked down his location, they could bring him in!
Then, they could find the whereabouts of those twenty-some billion worth of medicinal herbs.
"Yes! Understood!" Several subordinates nodded gravely.
After inspecting the warehouse, Su Wanqiao, dragging her weary body, got into the car.
"Let's head to Warehouse 17." Su Wanqiao massaged her temples, feeling very tired. That day, Su Group faced a life-or-death crisis, and she felt unprecedented pressure.
She ordered Lin Shuang to drive to another warehouse for inspection.
Lin Shuang looked at her sitting in the backseat, "Why not have some lunch first? It's already noon."
It was already twelve noon, yet Su Wanqiao still wanted to inspect warehouses. Her condition clearly wasn't suitable for working anymore; she was completely exhausted.
"I'm not hungry. Let's just go to the warehouse," Su Wanqiao massaged her temples, responding faintly.
Lin Shuang started the car and drove off…
Several security vehicles followed behind.
Along the way, Su Wanqiao sat in the car with her eyes closed, resting.
"Ding-a-ling~" Suddenly, her phone rang.
Su Wanqiao answered the call, and her female secretary's grave report came through, "President Su… There's been an incident! You better check the Jiangnan News Forum!"
