Chapter 427 - 281: Lin Xin’s Irregular Operation
The sound of Lin Xin's voice elicited wildly different reactions from everyone present.
This was especially true for Liu Weiyi. He understood in an instant—Lin Qi was the one who had called the Big Business Alliance!
'Damn it, the plan is about to fail!'
Liu Weiyi was frantic. Capturing Liu Xuan was the core of the plan.
Only by controlling Liu Xuan could Liu Siqi gain leverage to negotiate with Liu Xingyuan and Liu Xinglu.
If they could use Liu Xuan to find a trace of Liu Li, Liu Siqi's plan would have had an over eighty percent chance of success.
But now, Liu Weiyi knew it was all over.
With the Big Business Alliance involved, he couldn't possibly continue using force. That would be suicide.
It wasn't just Liu Weiyi; every member of the riot squad understood. An impossibly heavy weight had just been placed on the scales of victory, and they had tipped completely.
...
"Lin Qi, who is that...?"
Liu Xuan heard Lin Xin's voice but didn't know who she was.
It didn't occur to Liu Xuan that the speaker might be Lin Qi's sister.
After all, according to her file in Red Fruit City, Lin Xin was just an ordinary person.
And as for her joining the Assassin Alliance, the Eastern Alliance's technology ensured that no one from the Liu Clan could discover anything amiss.
Seeing the blue light in Liu Xuan's left eye glow a little brighter, Lin Qi quickly said, "It's my sister, Lin Xin."
Lin Qi only explained his relationship with her, not revealing any further details about her identity.
After hearing his explanation, the shimmering blue light in Liu Xuan's left eye immediately dimmed.
The power output of the Prosthetic Eye Suppressor dropped below ten percent.
Inside the flying vehicle, Lin Xin watched Lin Qi and Liu Xuan chatting in full view of everyone. She raised an eyebrow and said to the woman beside her, "Sister Li, let's land quickly and get my brother out of there."
Part of Lin Xin's perception of Lin Qi and Liu Xuan's relationship came from Cyber Media news reports, like the ones about "Divine Power Lin Qi."
However, Lin Xin had known for a long time that there was a complicated, unspoken relationship between Lin Qi and Liu Xuan.
The woman known as Sister Li looked displeased. "That woman next to your brother is the daughter of the head of Liu's Heavy Industries," she told Lin Xin. "According to Alliance rules, we're supposed to keep our distance from employees of the major corporations."
"Lin Qi himself is already a sensitive person of interest. Coming here so openly is already a breach of protocol. If we take Liu Xuan with us, it might..."
Before Sister Li could finish, Lin Xin cut her off. "I'll take full responsibility. Just do as I say for now. I'll explain everything to my master later."
Choked off by Lin Xin, Sister Li said no more.
Besides, her mission was to protect Lin Xin and follow her orders for the duration of the assignment.
The flying vehicle slowly descended, and Lin Xin opened a window.
Only then could Lin Qi see Lin Xin with his own eyes.
Compared to half a month ago, Lin Xin's appearance had barely changed.
If he had to point out a change, it would be in her eyes. They seemed sharper, more resolute.
"Lin Qi, get in." Lin Xin called out. The vehicle's rear door opened simultaneously. After beckoning to Lin Qi, she added, "Bring your sister-in-law with you."
Hearing herself called "sister-in-law," Liu Xuan was now certain of the girl's identity.
Lin Qi didn't react much and started walking toward the flying vehicle with Liu Xuan.
They had only taken a few steps when a voice suddenly rang out.
Liu Weiyi mustered his courage and called out to Lin Xin, "Wait! Please state your specific identity! I want to know why the Big Business Alliance is suddenly interfering in a corporation's internal affairs without cause!"
'Liu Weiyi decided to take a gamble. What if they aren't who they say they are?'
'What if someone is actually audacious enough to impersonate the Big Business Alliance?'
Lin Xin looked at Liu Weiyi and shook her head slightly. "I have no obligation to answer your question," she replied. "But if you want to stop us, feel free to try."
Lin Xin herself wasn't very strong—only a Tier One at the Second Stage. Moreover, she was a Blood Robe Professional, a class notoriously weak in the early stages.
But Sister Li, who stood beside her, was a different story. She was a bona fide Tier Three Peak, and Death Warrior Professionals were famous for their explosive early-stage power. They could also easily pass for Martial Artists.
With Sister Li around, no one could stop Lin Xin from leaving with her people unless a Tier Four intervened.
Liu Weiyi's expression turned ugly.
'Make a move? I wouldn't dare!'
His only option was to keep gambling. As the descendant of a core member of a major corporation, he was familiar with many of the rules.
Liu Weiyi continued to bluff, "According to the Big Business Alliance's employment act, I have the right to demand you present identification, as well as the right to file for a review of this incident afterward."
Hearing this, Lin Xin tilted her head and glanced at Sister Li.
Sister Li lowered the window on her side and tossed out a coin-like object. It was a single-use, dedicated authorization chip for identity verification.
"Read the information yourself. If you want a review, you can file one directly with the Permanent Council of the Asian Political Zone Big Business Alliance."
"Also, you'll have to sign the non-disclosure agreement on the chip before you can read it. If you violate that agreement, the consequences are more than you can bear."
This clearly wasn't the first time Sister Li had used her Big Business Alliance identity.
Field operatives from the Assassin Alliance, like her, almost all had similar cover identities within the Big Business Alliance.
Of course, if they were operating within Eastern Alliance territory, she had a special Eastern Alliance identity as well.
