Seeing Lin Zhennan’s face twisted with rage, looking as if he wanted to devour someone, the man’s heart suddenly trembled, and a bad premonition rose rapidly within him.

It’s known that Lin Zhennan currently wants to kill Ye Xunhuan the most; aside from Ye Xunhuan, it seemed no one else could make Lin Zhennan so agitated!

Looking at Lin Zhennan’s expression, something major must have happened; someone definitely intervened, otherwise, how could Lin Zhennan say such things?

But as for what exactly happened, the man was unclear.

He wanted to ask, but upon seeing Lin Zhennan’s fierce look, he didn’t know how to start.

Or perhaps he was afraid; afraid that saying the wrong thing might make Lin Zhennan more furious, leading to his own death!

Lin Zhennan now resembled a beast that had completely lost its mind, his mind fully occupied by hatred!

"Bastards, daring to treat me like this, you’ll all pay the price, you’ll all pay the price!"

Saying this, Lin Zhennan suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the table.

The crisp sound, in the ears of the man beside him, felt like a mighty hammer strike, pounding deeply within his heart.

"Go, get the people from Shu Mountain for me!" Lin Zhennan said with a sinister grimace, "When they come, bring them to the Lin family immediately!"

"Yes!"

The man, as if receiving an amnesty, hurriedly exited Lin Zhennan’s study.

After stepping out of Lin Zhennan’s study, the man immediately exhaled heavily and reached out to gently wipe the cold sweat off his forehead!

Once the man exited the room, Lin Zhennan sat alone, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the table.

"Weng Jianbo, you actually dared to warn me for that little bastard. Do you really think being in that position means my Lin family can’t touch you?"

As he spoke, a dark killing intent flickered in Lin Zhennan’s eyes.

The person who called Lin Zhennan earlier was none other than Weng Jianbo from the National Security Bureau, a spy mastermind.

He wanted to protect Ye Xunhuan, urging Lin Zhennan to back off immediately, or else certain individuals and information within the Lin family would be exposed!

Weng Jianbo had bluntly torn faces with Lin Zhennan, leaving no room for ambiguity.

If it were not so, Lin Zhennan wouldn’t be so furious. If it were someone else’s warning, he could ignore it, but this double-dealing spy mastermind left him no choice but to be extremely wary.

Meanwhile, in a Qing Dynasty imperial garden in the capital, two men were sitting!

One was an elderly man in his sixties, dressed in a black martial arts robe, holding a string of Buddha Beads, giving off a refined aura, like an elder who worships Buddha regularly!

The other was a middle-aged man, around fifty, with a square face, impeccably groomed black hair, eyes sharp as knives, exuding an aura of high authority.

"Jianbo, you’re really pushing Lin Zhennan to the edge!" The old man turned the Buddha Beads slowly and spoke softly.

Weng Jianbo sighed slightly, "You know, I had no choice; Lin Zhennan can’t compete with Ye Xunhuan, let alone against the Qin family!"

"The call from Wu Mei, and what Ye Xunhuan said, how could we refuse?"

"Do we really want to involve Wales and escalate this matter to a country-level conflict?"

Upon hearing Weng Jianbo’s words, the old man fell into silence.

No one expected that even without relying on the Qin family, Ye Xunhuan could still mobilize the Wales royal family, having them speak on his behalf!

If, in the future, the Wales royal family claims that Ye Xunhuan was sent by them to assassinate and steal their classified documents, everything would be utterly chaotic!

The situation would develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Some might think the Wales royal family has no substantial power, but is that really the case?

Perhaps only those within and at the top of the pyramid know for sure?

"Perhaps when Lin Zhennan decided to kill at all costs, he was already wrong!" Weng Jianbo said with a face full of helplessness, "Moreover, the woman in the video, according to the information, seems to have some ties with America!"

"If we let Lin Zhennan act recklessly, it would become troublesome for all of us!"

"Lin Zhennan is unfortunate!" The old man said with a bit of sentimentality, "To have Lin Zhennan give up, the Lin family must be struck down; otherwise..."

"Sheng Tianyin has already made a move, the Lin family can’t withstand it!" Weng Jianbo softly interrupted the old man, "Qin Rumeng stands there, none of the older generation dares to say a word, or else they would provoke Qin Rumeng to cause trouble at their homes!"

The old man gave a wry smile, "Actually, we don’t even need Wales to see Lin Zhennan to his downfall!"

"I understand!" Weng Jianbo nodded, "He’s warning me to behave and not act recklessly, or the price to pay would be beyond what I can afford, and I might not even be able to deal with him!"

Saying this, Weng Jianbo slowly stood up, looked up at the azure sky, "He’s telling me that even without the Qin family, he’s not someone to be trifled with!"

"Indeed, he’s most concerned about you withdrawing support from behind. By doing this, he wants you to know better, not to force him against you!"

"So, I can only follow his words!" Weng Jianbo said with a face full of helplessness and unwillingness, "I’ll go handle this matter, you take good care of yourself!"

Weng Jianbo has been in his position for twenty years and was never threatened by anyone, but now facing Ye Xunhuan’s threats, he is powerless, without even a chance to resist.

"Be careful, Lin Zhennan won’t sit back waiting for death; he might retaliate desperately, and then you..."

"You mean Shu Mountain, right?"

"Exactly!"

"Even if Shu Mountain comes, it won’t help!" Weng Jianbo said, exhaling heavily, "Unless a national protector appears, no one can do anything to him!"

Upon hearing the words ’national protector,’ the old man’s expression slightly changed.

But soon, the old man’s expression turned calm.

"Besides, he still has that identity, and he hasn’t used that thing yet!" Weng Jianbo’s eyes flashed with complicated emotions, "That thing alone is enough to keep him safe!"

Upon hearing about that thing, as if remembering something, the old man’s face slowly became completely filled with bitterness!

"Wanting him dead isn’t easy; getting anything from him is even harder!" The old man said thoughtfully, "Aligning with him might actually benefit us!"
