260: Old Shi's planning

Five trillion three hundred billion vials of top-tier potions.

Just like that, they were tossed over so nonchalantly.

He's so straightforward with the goods!

This was the first and only thought that popped into both of their minds.

Immediately after, they gained a much deeper understanding of Lin Yu.

This earth-shattering event, which in their eyes was enough to overturn the entire commercial landscape of the Abyss Domain, truly seemed like a trivial matter to this man.

"President Lin, we... shall set off for the Abyss Domain immediately!"

Yan Xing held the ring, bowing deeply once more with the utmost reverence.

"With such a massive shipment, we... we don't dare delay for a single moment."

The Dark Shadow chimed in, its unstable energy body fluctuating as it conveyed an urgent thought.

"Yes, President Lin! Furthermore... carrying such a massive amount of physical goods, my professional ability cannot perform long-distance teleportation. We must leave via conventional routes."

He added a specific explanation, fearing Lin Yu might misunderstand their efficiency.

Lin Yu waved his hand dismissively, signaling that they could get lost.

Upon receiving permission, Yan Xing and the Dark Shadow felt like they had been granted a general amnesty. Not daring to say another word, they bowed and backed out of the reception room step by step, with great caution.

Only when the door slowly closed behind them did the two dare to straighten their backs, their shirts already soaked through with cold sweat.

They glanced at each other, seeing the undisguisable shock and... fanaticism in each other's consciousness.

Getting to meet such a great figure was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for them!

...Inside the reception room, a strange silence fell as the two visitors from the Abyss Domain departed.

Wang Teng and the other two were still in a state of shock, their brains completely refusing to process everything that had just happened.

Old Shi stood where he was, the muscles on his face twitching uncontrollably.

He stared fixedly at Lin Yu.

Shame, anger, fear, resentment... countless emotions churned in his chest, eventually all turning into a bottomless sense of powerlessness.

The Abyss Domain people had left.

They left with that astronomical amount of goods.

But their original purpose was to annex the Four Major Pharmaceutical Companies.

Now, that purpose had been intercepted by Lin Yu in a more brutal and direct manner.

The Abyss Domain people were gone, but Lin Yu was still here.

This man, a hundred times more terrifying than the Abyss Domain, would only do things that were even more excessive!

Thinking carefully, what value did the current Four Major Pharmaceutical Companies still hold for Lin Yu?

What value did he himself, the highest decision-maker of the alliance, still hold for him?

None!

Not a single shred!

What fate awaited him and these companies?

To be swept into the dust of history like trash?

At the thought of that possibility, Old Shi's heart, which had weathered over a century of storms, was gripped by cold fear.

No!

He couldn't just sit and wait for death!

He jerked his head up, forcing a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Pres... President Lin..."

His voice was incredibly dry.

"The people from the Fangs Special Operations Team are still waiting outside... Do you think you should meet them?"

This was the only excuse he could grasp now to continue the conversation with Lin Yu.

It was also his final chess piece to stir up the situation.

Lin Yu stood up from the sofa and stretched his limbs.

"Mm, lead the way."

Just as Lin Yu was about to move.

A sharp light flashed in Old Shi's eyes as he suddenly stepped forward, blocking Lin Yu.

"President Lin! Please stay!"

He lowered his posture significantly, even showing a hint of fawning.

"How could such a trivial matter trouble you to go in person? Please rest here for a moment, and I... I will bring them here to see you personally!"

Lin Yu glanced at him, seeing nothing out of the ordinary on that old face.

However, since the other party was willing to take over, he was happy for the peace and quiet.

"As you wish."

Lin Yu sat back down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

"Thank you, President Lin! Thank you, President Lin!"

Old Shi acted as if he had received a treasure, bowing repeatedly before turning and quickly walking out of the reception room.

Bang.

The moment the door closed, the humble and fawning expression on Old Shi's face vanished without a trace.

In its place was a bone-chilling gloom and an uncontrollable anxiety.

He hurried to a deserted corner, pulled out an ancient-looking encrypted communicator, and quickly dialed a number.

"It's me."

His voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

"Immediately lock onto the coordinates of the two visitors from the Abyss Domain who just left the Industrial Park."

A respectful response came from the other end.

"Yes!"

Old Shi paused, his lips curling into a sinister arc.

"Lead Zhong Huai and the Tusk Squad detachment that arrived tonight to go out, manufacture an 'accidental encounter,' and intercept them."

"Remember, it must be an accidental encounter."

The other end of the line was silent for a moment, seemingly processing the deeper meaning of this command.

"Old Shi, this... this will lead to a direct conflict with the people from the Abyss Domain..."

"Do as I say!"

Old Shi growled, suppressing his anger.

"Also, arrange an absolutely reliable channel for me to leak an anonymous tip to the Special Operations Department and the military simultaneously."

He narrowed his eyes and said word by word.

"Say that... there are two unregistered top-tier overseas Professionals who are suspected of carrying a massive amount of smuggled goods capable of overturning Blue Star's existing economic system, and they are preparing to leave the country."

"Let them investigate!"

"Investigate them to the death!"

The person on the other end gasped.

This was... going to blow things wide open!

Old Shi hung up the call and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

His brain was working rapidly.

What was the Abyss Domain? Just a bunch of deadbeats who relied on their strength to swindle and deceive everywhere!

But Fangs was different!

The Fangs Special Operations Team was the government's top-tier violence machine, directly under the highest levels of the military, representing the absolute will of the authorities!

According to official laws, Yan Xing and the Dark Shadow carrying such a massive amount of goods without any declaration was the most serious and egregious act of smuggling!

He knew Qin Zhan... that single-minded war maniac would definitely treat this as a massive achievement once he received the intel!

When that time came, on one side would be Fangs, representing the official will of Blue Star.

On the other side would be the visitors from the Abyss Domain, carrying a fortune and desperate to flee.

The water behind this would be completely muddied!

By making a scene, Lin Yu would no longer be able to stay hidden.

Then, it would be the major powers attacking and negotiating with each other.

And this small alliance formed by the Four Major Pharmaceutical Companies could be caught in the middle and quietly become invisible.

This was the best decision Old Shi could think of for himself, the alliance, and the executives of the four pharmaceutical companies.

At the same time Old Shi was making his arrangements, Lin Yu saw all of them on his phone.

That's right—to arrange something so important that couldn't afford any mistakes, Old Shi naturally needed to find his most capable and efficient subordinate, someone whose interests were also deeply tied to the Pharmaceutical Company Alliance. That person... was Li Mo!
