Fang knew about the news of the Butterfly being captured, but he couldn't understand why she was there. If there hadn't been a rush at that moment, he wouldn't have cared about such matters at all; what he needed were reliable partners, not a bunch of fools.
After the person he had previously traded with Lin Yuan fled, Qing She received his call.
"Fang?"
This time, his tone was tinged with caution, unlike before.
"What on earth is going on? Why was the Butterfly there? Why didn't you tell me?"
There was a hint of anger in the voice on the other end, as if still waiting for an answer.
Qing She quickly thought of a response. "You should know about the incident on the ship, right? They have speculated about Shangguan Yao's identity, and since the Butterfly happened to be at sea, I sent her to discuss some contract matters."
"I really didn't expect Lin Yuan to show up there."
"Didn’t expect? Then who sent people to attack him?"
Fang was not going to be fooled by this nonsense.
"I'll tell you this: I won't care what small tricks you're pulling behind my back. But if this deal falls apart, you'll know what it means to anger me."
"Hey, Fang, I always operate steadily; you know that."
If it weren't for the ruthless glint in his eyes when he said this, no one would doubt his sincerity.
Fang was different; everyone had their own agendas, and he knew that well.
"The Butterfly is in Lin Yuan's hands. What are your terms for sending someone to rescue her?"
Rescuing someone from the police station was not an easy task. Moreover, Lin Yuan was no pushover.
Qing She wiped the sweat from his forehead, hesitating whether to reveal this matter to him.
"If you don’t say it now and things go south later, I won’t take responsibility for you."
He hated not having control over things.
"It's about drugs—specifically, the new type of drug Shangguan Yao brought us."
"What did you say?"
"The condition proposed by Lin Yuan is that we must remove all drugs currently entering the sea. That’s his condition for releasing her and ensuring the Butterfly isn’t harmed."
After this statement, Qing She heard something crashing on the other end of the line. The sound of shattering glass made him hesitate to speak.
After a long pause, Fang's voice finally came through slowly and deliberately.
"You fool! She's just an irrelevant woman. Not only does she know nothing about us, even if she did—what could she do? Who dares claim they have solid evidence against you?! Right now, you're just a living target for others!"
The Green Serpent was momentarily stunned.
"But we are not companions."
"Stop talking nonsense! Would you let someone useless be your companion? If my information is correct, Lin Yuan was alone at that time."
"She couldn't handle it alone, so what use is she?"
That seemed to make sense.
They had always been in a cooperative relationship, and the reason they didn't expose their identities to each other was due to a lack of strong trust.
"And the deal I made with Lin Yuan..."
"That wasn't a deal; it was a target delivered to us by the other party."
"Since they want it, just give it to them. Whether or not there will be casualties is another matter."
After hanging up the phone, soon a servant came up to clean up the mess.
As the servant left, a man with silver hair came up. He carried a long sniper rifle on his back, but the people around him seemed oblivious to it.
"Let me go."
This wasn't the first time he had suggested this.
Lin Yuan was considered a tricky target in his mission. He had only made one attempt, and whether it would succeed was still uncertain.
"Are you that eager to seek death? Is someone pressuring you from the shadows?"
Mr. Fang sat on the sofa, crossing his legs as he watched him.
"No, this is my own decision. I need to maximize my value, right?"
The silver-haired man.
That statement was quite honest.
"Don't worry; you'll have your chance to act."
"But not as a sniper."
A fierce glint flashed in Mr. Fang's eyes; with just one look, he signaled to the butler what he needed to do.
Soon, a small timed bomb was placed on the table.
"Take these two items and lure someone out at the largest mall in the area. As for how many casualties there will be, that's up to you."
"Oh, and take this."
He personally stood up and picked up a miniature camera from the side.
"At that point, you can sit here and watch the fireworks of victory appear on the big screen."
The silver-haired man showed no signs of doubt as he directly placed the bomb into his pocket. The other small bag contained white powder disguised as flour.
The camera was pinned to his collar.
"Isn't that too obvious?"
"It’s fine; no one will care."
He remained calm.
The Green Serpent, receiving the inexplicable message, still forwarded it to Lin Yuan. Since President Fang had already intervened to help him, why should she worry any further?
Zhongrui Plaza?
That was the largest gathering place nearby, where many people enjoyed shopping and strolling. If there were any casualties, it would likely happen within a few short minutes. It wasn’t certain whether they could escape in time.
Lin Yuan was well aware of the surrounding malls. Even if it took about half an hour to drive there, that wasn’t too far.
“Are you sending him alone?” Zheng Rufeng frowned.
It wasn’t mentioned in the message, which made the situation even more concerning. If he was meant to go alone, it indicated that the location was relatively remote, and the primary focus should be on his safety.
In such a densely populated area, it would be difficult for anyone to act without drawing attention. Unless, of course, they didn’t care about the other people in the mall at all.
“What do you think they’ll do this time? Will it be like last time in the restroom?” Zheng Rufeng speculated.
“Probably not. In crowded places, there are advantages to having many people around; the police can send as many officers as needed,” Lin Yuan replied.
“I suspect they might have a bomb,” he continued.
From their actions, he could sense one thing: the other party was anxious and unable to maintain their composure.
“A bomb? Then I’m going too,” Zheng Rufeng said decisively.
“I learned a bit about this when I was in the military. There’s also a bomb disposal expert here. As long as we know what type of bomb it is, we’ll definitely be fine.”
“Huh?” Lin Yuan glanced at him in surprise, not expecting Captain Zheng to have such knowledge.
