Chapter 1134: Military Council Conspiracy

"Mr. Qin seems quite tense, perhaps still recovering from the recent skirmish. Shall we take a walk along the coastline? I imagine you’ve been waiting for me to appear on this island for quite a few days."

"Young Master Xiao, enough joking around. Let’s be straightforward; there’s no need to hide anything." Qin Lin rejected Xiao Lin’s intention, moving a step back to keep a distance of more than two steps between them, instinctively creating a defensive space for himself, which brought a hint of amusement to Xiao Lin’s face.

"Compared to your superior, you seem a bit more forthright. How can you do bad things without hiding them!" The tone was more sarcastic. "There’s really no point in stalling for time. I don’t intend to kill your subordinates; otherwise, they’d be dead already when I passed through. As for that batch of goods, I have no interest. To be honest, if I, Xiao Lin, truly wanted to get such high-purity drugs, do you worry I wouldn’t have places to procure them? Not to mention a hundred tons, a thousand tons could also be gathered."

Qin Lin’s gaze towards Xiao Lin was somewhat cold and rigid. As they spoke, a few people were already approaching from a distance. "Your bodyguards have arrived." Xiao Lin didn’t stop them, allowing them to enter his territory.

"I believe in what Young Master Xiao says; with your capability, you can certainly achieve it." The politeness carried a bit of coldness and arrogance, fitting his identity somewhat.

"Since I already know your name, can you be more explicit? It wouldn’t be a wasted trip having brought people here."

"If I say I’m delivering a message for someone else, would Young Master Xiao believe me?" Ah, claiming not to hide anything, yet starts with probing questions, people in the political scene just don’t know what it means to hide things.

"Hahaha, I think Committee Member Qin should return to school and review linguistic knowledge, specifically what the definition of hiding things means, especially after adding a ’no’ in front."

"Young Master Xiao!" This time Qin Lin’s dissatisfaction was clear, a crack appearing in Xiao Lin’s perception.

"Alright, alright! Committee Member Qin, who are you passing the message for?"

"For Chairman Tang."

"What to convey?" Xiao Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I imagine someone as smart as Young Master Xiao would already know."

"Oh no, I don’t know; it’s better for Committee Member Qin to make it clear." Xiao Lin played with the sand using his toe, not looking at Qin Lin, as if digging a hole at his feet was more interesting than listening to him.

"Let’s not beat around the bush; Chairman is extremely indignant about your actions in Sicily recently. The Xiao Family is an influential figure after all, a longstanding family dedicated to safeguarding social order for the country, and you, as a Major General under Dragon Soul, should uphold the pledge made by the Xiao Family and adhere to our principles. However, your recent actions in Sicily, creating a series of unrest and criminal incidents, are contrary to your family’s treaties, triggering social chaos, colluding excessively with Dark Forces, harming lives without regard to public safety consciousness, causing us considerable pressure, with the central authorities now directing focus towards us, requiring us to take action to stop your reckless behavior from further escalation."

"Oh!" Xiao Lin nodded, eyes dark as night staring unblinkingly at Qin Lin.

"Recently, Wang Weibo and many of his subordinates were tragically killed at home, though the police have classified it as gang rivalry, the methods of murder clearly implicate you. I want to know, what was your reason for killing Wang Weibo?" Qin Lin’s smile didn’t change, but his gaze became increasingly cold and fierce, with a subtle aura emanating from him, adding a unique solemnity to his smiling face.

"Ah, hearing you say that, I feel like an executioner. Are you going to tell me next that I’m worse than a beast?" Xiao Lin chuckled and shook his head.

Qin Lin put away his smile: "Young Master Xiao, there’s no need to take my previous words to heart. They only represent my personal view and have nothing directly to do with the Chairman. The reason I went through so much trouble to invite you out was just to verify the rumors outside. However, Young Master Xiao, you truly disappoint me. You really went to the freighter for that batch of goods. Even though you can get more than a hundred tons of this, I think there’s more unknown content behind this hundred tons."

"Alright, Committee Member Qin, I’m not interested in playing riddles with you or going in circles. Don’t talk to me about principles or laws. I’ve been able to recite those backward since I was a kid. Between us, it’s clear to see, so don’t waste your breath pretending to be the good guy. Just directly relay the message your boss wants to convey to me. Since you can’t do anything to my old man, I’m naturally your next target. Speak, I’m all ears."

"Young Master Xiao is straightforward, so I’ll be direct. The Chairman recognizes Young Master Xiao’s talents. First, Young Master Xiao, stop the pursuit of Shao Weihua and don’t meddle in any Sicily underground routes. Second, you must ensure that Robert is returned to Shao Weihua. After all, the one controlling the entire drug trade in Sicily is Robert, not Casabell Jenvies. The Chairman said if the Xiao Family doesn’t want any unnecessary disputes with Nicholas and doesn’t want to break the contract signed by the previous generation, Robert should continue to control the drug market. Third, regarding the Northeast provinces, I think Young Master Xiao knows better than I do that the Dan Clan has a notorious presence in Central. Some secrets I don’t need to say for you to understand. Since ’Wagangai’ has a close relationship with the Dan Clan, regarding arms, it’s best if Young Master Xiao turns a blind eye. As for Wang Zhanting, the Chairman said, since we’ve already granted you a Wang Zhantian, another Wang Zhanting isn’t impossible, but Young Master Hua there needs Young Master Xiao to reach out. He’s recently caused us quite a bit of trouble. After all, he’s Secretary Hua’s only child and your good brother. Young Master Xiao wouldn’t want us to act too harshly and ignore face, would you?" Qin Lin said in one breath, unable to help but breathe out heavily, instantly returning to his usual frail demeanor.

Xiao Lin laughed, quite heartily, and even the Black Doctor beside him showed a rare smile.

"Committee Member Qin, can I just sum up what you’ve just said into one sentence? You’re telling me, Xiao Lin, to get lost from Sicily, out of your sight, or else you’ll go after the people around me. And to make me leave willingly, you’re offering the head of Wang Zhanting as a token of goodwill. Is that what you mean?" Xiao Lin squinted, stepping forward to look at Qin Lin. "You and your Chairman, are your brains okay?"

"Young Master Xiao, what we are doing is for the sake of your Xiao Family and for you, and I am your superior, so please watch how you speak." Qin Lin said coldly, his eyes flashing fiercely, staring straight at Xiao Lin, "I know you’re arrogant, and I know the powers behind you, including your personal influence, but I represent the nation, and I’m delivering national orders. This is the Chairman’s last opportunity for you and your Xiao Family. We have evidence of many of your crimes, including those horrific experiment records from over a decade ago, all of which are enough to destroy your entire family. If you understand, if you don’t want to stand against the nation, then please follow my previous requests. Xiao Lin, let me remind you, even though the Xiao Family looks glamorous from the outside, and no one dares touch you, you’re still spoiled people. The bigger the tree, the more wind it catches. There are many who dislike you, and individual power can’t shake national authority. It’s best to keep your eyes open to see who’s in power now. The Chairman has been lenient with you, keeping your secrets, and in return, shouldn’t there be some price to pay? The Xiao Family has a foothold everywhere. You continue being the heir of the Xiao Family, and the Xiao Family continues controlling the underworld, but Sicily..."

Xiao Lin lightly nudged a pebble, sending sand flying far away, gently rubbing his chin, and looking directly at Qin Lin. "I have a few things I don’t quite understand, may I ask Committee Member Qin for some guidance?"

"Whatever Young Master Xiao doesn’t understand, feel free to ask. I shall explain. Before I left, the Chairman repeatedly asked that we can coexist peacefully and resolve the current tense situation in Sicily."

"Good, that sounds great. I also think the atmosphere in Palermo hasn’t been great lately, with assassinations everywhere, but Committee Member Qin, did Quan Xianglin really send you?"

"The way Young Master Xiao asks is interesting. Do you really think I would have the nerve to wear the hat of the state chairman to deceive you? And I have nothing to gain, right?"

"Qin Lin, is your boss recently too idle, with nothing to do in the military committee?"

Qin Lin was puzzled by Xiao Lin’s question but still replied, "Chairman Quan always personally handles everything, from dawn till dusk, with no time to rest."

Xiao Lin lightly pointed to his head, then said, "I think you, as his subordinate, don’t care enough about your boss. A greedy person will burst their belly; it’s bad for their health."

"What do you mean?"

"Can’t you understand? It means complaining that your boss’s mind isn’t right and is daydreaming. Sitting too comfortably in that position, not knowing the directions, does he want to wipe us out to achieve his dream of ruling the world?" Xiao Lin sighed. "Ah, I really don’t want to criticize your boss, but you know the saying ’the higher you climb, the colder it gets.’ Standing too high, you may lose your sense of direction, but it shouldn’t break your brain, right?"

"Xiao Lin!" Qin Lin shouted in a low voice, staring hard at Xiao Lin. Although his willpower was strong and his mind was deep, rarely getting angry, Xiao Lin’s insults towards Quan Xianglin obviously touched the limits of his endurance. (To be continued.
