Chapter 207: The Fight of the Immortals
Lin Shuang was driving the car calmly in the front row when he turned his head in confusion, "What? Explode what?"
He feigned ignorance as he asked.
Su Wanqiao handed her smartphone with the news article to him, "Did you do it?"
Lin Shuang scanned the news with a suspicions look.
He denied, "Not me, why would that villa suddenly explode? It doesn't make any sense."
"But this bottle of wine you're carrying, the 1982 gold-leaf red wine, is only available from the Huang Family Group in Hai City... They were the only ones who bid for these ten bottles of wine from the wine auction back then. Only the Huang Family would have this wine," Su Wanqiao said with a grave voice.
She had a meticulous eye and instantly spotted what was odd about the wine—it, along with the cigars, were clearly taken from the Huang Family.
"Alright, it was indeed me who bombed it," Lin Shuang admitted frankly when he saw that denial was futile.
Upon his admission... Su Wanqiao's brain was somewhat muddled.
She was still somewhat shocked and couldn't believe it—Lin Shuang... had really gone crazy.
"How did you find the Crown Prince of the Huang Family's address?" Su Wanqiao asked incredulously.
Having withdrawn from the underworld for decades, the Huang Family had been keeping a low profile in recent years, and the exact residence of the Huang Family's Crown Prince was a secret—almost no one in Hai City knew where he lived. How could Lin Shuang possibly know?
"Simple, I found the guys who positioned the explosives, grabbed them, and interrogated them until they spilled it," Lin Shuang explained nonchalantly while driving.
Su Wanqiao: "..."
"Then why did you go blow up Huang Manlou's estate?" Su Wanqiao asked with complex emotions.
"To avenge you, of course. Huang Manlou almost blew up your entire Su Family Group building; can't let that slide. Lucky for him, he didn't die from the explosion... Such a waste of all that explosive," Lin Shuang sighed.
At this moment, Su Wanqiao's feelings were complicated. She was somewhat grateful, grateful that Lin Shuang dared to risk his life... to break into She Shan Estate and destroy that villa.
When he infiltrated... it must have been very dangerous.
Yet Su Wanqiao was also anxious; she worried that this action would completely enrage the Huang Family!
The Du Family, a centuries-old family, was already difficult enough to deal with.
Now adding the Huang Family into the mix made Su Wanqiao perceive the situation as grave.
Her Su Family Group was simply not powerful enough to withstand the wrath of two historic underworld families.
Perceiving her concern, Lin Shuang reassured, "Don't worry, I'm here, the Huang Family can't touch you. If they dare, I'll simply go to their door and wipe out their entire clan."
Su Wanqiao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
In times like this, only by staying calm could she face the problem.
"Anyway, even if you hadn't stepped in, the Huang Family would have targeted my group sooner or later. It was just a question of time. For this time, since you made a merit by bombing the Huang Family's Crown Prince, I'll add a bonus of one million for you, to be transferred to your account at the end of the month," Su Wanqiao stated coldly.
This woman was still composed; she knew... whether Lin Shuang acted or not, her conflict with the Huang Family... was inevitable.
The Huang Family's Crown Prince dared to plant explosives at the Su Family Group; this vendetta... was unavoidable.
Lin Shuang blasting back had also given Su Wanqiao some relief.
"Thanks, Wanqiao," Lin Shuang replied, a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth. This woman, she was quite humane.
"Call me President Su! Don't be so intimate; we're not at that stage," Su Wanqiao reminded him coldly.
"Alright, President Su, but sooner or later we will get to that point," Lin Shuang said with a rogueish laugh.
"Keep joking around, and you can kiss your bonus goodbye!" Su Wanqiao said coldly.
Lin Shuang then kept silent, after all, it was one million. The currently penniless Lin Shuang still valued money; he couldn't afford to miss out.
...
In Hai City, Peace Society Casino.
Dong Yongping was sitting in his office, looking at the news on his phone.
Upon seeing the news of the Crown Prince of the Huang Family's private residence being destroyed by a bomb, the Crown Prince injured... Dong Yongping's face tensed, with shock and disbelief.
Who could have done such a bold move, daring to explode the Huang Family Crown Prince's villa?
And even causing the Crown Prince to be severely injured?
Who exactly was responsible for this?
Dong Yongping felt a chill run down his spine, unaware of which gods were clashing with each other this time.
The severe injury of the Huang Family's Crown Prince was undoubtedly groundbreaking news for the underground families of Hai City.
The Huang Family represented a quarter of Hai City's underworld power.
Now it seemed likely that the Huang Family would return to the scene, and their revenge would surely shake the entire Hai City.
"Ai, the skies of Hai City are going to be chaotic," Dong Yongping sighed and shook his head.
"Ding-ling-ling~!" Just then, Dong Yongping's cellphone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, Dong Yongping's expression changed.
The display showed a call from the Crown Prince of the Du Family, Du Tingchao.
Dong Yongping answered the call with apprehension.
"Du... Young Master Du... what do you need me for?" Dong Yongping asked tentatively.
"Dong Yongping, how does it feel to tear up our cooperation agreement and side with the Su Family? How much did the Su Family Group offer you?" On the other end of the line, the cold, mocking voice of Crown Prince Du Tingchao came through.
Dong Yongping's face trembled. It seemed the Du Family Crown Prince was finally coming after him.
