Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 351: Lin Mengjie 2 (3)_1

"Tonight, we shouldn’t have brought the girl over," Shangguan You heard this, and her steps down the stairs halted abruptly, her curiosity piqued."It’s fine, we’re here, nothing will happen. Besides, no one dares to touch her and the others. I just didn’t expect them to have the audacity to chase us here, even daring to fire a gun." A glint of ice crossed Lin Wenhao’s eyes. "All right, Wenjie, you’re in charge of protecting your grandfather, as well as the girl and those with her. Leave the rest to us," Lin Qingyu instructed softly.

"Daddy, let’s go out and talk to them," Lin Wenhao whispered, his voice so soft he was careful not to wake the others in the villa.

"Hmm, go to the seaside," Lin Qingyu nodded, standing up. Surrounded by a group of black-clad bodyguards, he headed towards the villa’s main gate.

"Daddy, Big Brother, I’m coming with you," Lin Wenjie quickly followed them.

"No."

"Let him come. The gunfire was soft and didn’t alarm anyone. We’ll go and come back quickly. Besides, the defenses here are strong enough that even if they managed to burst in, they would only be seeking their own deaths," Lin Qingyu swiftly spoke, overruling Lin Wenhao and allowing Lin Wenjie to accompany them.

Shangguan You’s eyes flashed, and she was about to follow swiftly when Shangguan Qing, Yu Zifeng, Gui Jun, Zhang Yuchen, and Gui Mo—all five figures—appeared before her. Her form flickered, and she quickly vanished into her space.

All five of them were from the military; even though the gunfire had been soft, they would have definitely noticed it. Watching their departing figures, Shangguan You quickly made her way upstairs.

Seeing Lin Wenbo sleeping soundly, Shangguan You quickly fed him a Medicinal Pill. She then turned towards the third floor and administered two more Medicinal Pills into the mouths of Yu Zijin and Gui Luo.

This medicine could both detoxify and ensure they slept soundly until morning, unawakened even by thunder.

Shangguan You lit several sticks of incense throughout the house. A faint scent filled the villa. This incense would ensure that anyone who entered, regardless of their intentions, could not leave; it allowed entry but not exit.

Satisfied, Shangguan You nodded. She vanished in a flash, left the villa, and rapidly caught up with Shangguan Qing and the others.

The night was pitch-black, and the waves crashed layer upon layer, bringing a slight coolness to the scorching summer air. On the sandy beach, two groups of people were currently in a heated standoff.

The three men from the Lin Family stood amidst their black-clad bodyguards, brightly illuminated by strong lights. They could clearly see every person on the opposing side.

Shangguan You lay atop her Purple Lotus, eyeing the black-clad people facing off against the Lins. Her mouth twitched. She had thought it was something important, but it was just a gang fight, and these adversaries were old acquaintances.

The black-clad men were the same ones who had chased her that night. Unexpectedly, they had made their move prematurely. She’d been incredibly unlucky that night to overhear their talk about replacing someone, delivering a fatal blow when their targets were out and about, all to take over the mafia in Beijing. They planned to bring a virus here, incite internal chaos, and then seize power. She had been confused by the conversation then, but tonight she had stumbled upon them yet again. These people dared to target the Lin Family; they were truly seeking death! Even though they had one impressive person backing them, she could now deal with them all at once. She would commandeer their strength for her own use, sparing the Lin Family from their constant scheming.

They wanted to seize the Lin Family’s territory and successfully insert their influence into Beijing? She would make their attempt to steal the chicken result in them losing the rice used as bait.

Shangguan You’s lips curled slightly. Casting a glance at Shangguan Qing and the other four hidden in the darkness, she then quickly moved behind the black-clad men’s formation.

After glancing at the snipers hidden in the dark, she waved her hands. A fragrance she released instantly caused all those in hiding to collapse. Dealing with these men now would be as simple as lifting a hand. Shangguan You flickered to the rear of the black-clad group, scattering a handful of powder that instantly rigidified countless more.

This Rigidity Powder was not only effective in freezing a swarm of snakes but also had a significant effect on humans. It was an essential tool for assassination and a potent poison for ambushes.

Shangguan You’s lips tugged slightly as she blended into the crowd of black-clad figures, positioning herself just behind the few in front to listen in on their negotiation.

"Mr. Lin, if you’re willing to work with us, we can split the profits from the business fifty-fifty. The entirety of Beijing will be in your hands, and with the power of G Country behind us, we can prosper together when East meets West," said Yang Wulang, the mustached leader of the black-clad men, attempting to tempt Lin Qingyu and his sons with money.

"What kind of business do you want to conduct?" Lin Wenhao scanned Yang Wulang and the surrounding G Country men with a cold gaze. The ones in front were from G Country; those behind were lesser hooligans from within Beijing—people he wouldn’t usually deign to notice. He hadn’t expected G Country to exploit such men.

"Before we talk cooperation, shouldn’t you show some sincerity? Otherwise, I don’t think there’s any need to proceed with this deal," Lin Wenjie swept his gaze over the leading figures, a glimmer of disgust in his eyes. He loathed presumptuous G Country nationals the most.

"Sincerity? We’ve come with sincerity. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have just fired a warning shot; we would have wiped your villa off the map," Yang Wulang said in his heavily accented Mandarin.

"And yes, the security around the villa is decent," another man from G Country added, his eyes glinting with smugness. "But if we were to plant explosives in the vicinity and detonate them, Mr. Lin, do you truly believe you’d still be standing here to negotiate with us?"

"Do you really possess such capability? Never mind blowing up the villa; even if people from G Country want to make a splash in Beijing without us, they’re nothing. This is Beijing, not G Country. You’d better recognize that fact."

"Mr. Lin, that’s exactly why I, Yang, asked to meet you to discuss cooperation," Yang Wulang revealed his intentions. "We from G Country want to build a laboratory here to research some special medicines. We simply wish to do so under your protection."
