Chapter 2325: Chapter 2326: A Man’s Heaven
“Uh…”
Lin Yi paused for a moment, unexpectedly facing this tough question one day.
“Instead of worrying about it, don’t bother with either side, that way you could say you’re being completely fair.”
Lin Jingzhan was very calm, not panicking at all.
“But that won’t do, I’d offend both sides that way.”
“How about this, I’ll find a hospital and get you a certificate for mental illness, and if they’re not afraid that you’ll jump into the river with the child, then let them take care of it.”
Lin Yi: ???
You sure have some wild tactics!
“Don’t worry about this matter.” Lin Yi said with a laugh and a cry:
“When the time comes, there will be a nanny, so there’s no need for you to stay, just come back to visit every now and then, they understand your situation anyway.”
“That’s the only way now.”
After driving for nearly an hour, Lin Yi brought the car to Liang Ruoxu’s place.
Qin Yingyue had Lin Yi carry a suitcase upstairs, saying it was a tonic she bought for Liang Ruoxu.
Upon reaching upstairs, the threesome saw Shen Shuyi and Liang Ruoxu.
“Even you’re back, my grandchild really carries clout.”
Shen Shuyi joked upon seeing Lin Jingzhan.
“The main thing is to see the kid, but more importantly to see you.” Lin Jingzhan said with a hearty laugh:
“When we were young, I suggested arranging a marriage between our two families, but you looked down on me. Just look at how things are now, this is what they call karma.”
“Get out of here, you’re about to be a grandfather and you still can’t act maturely.”
Such emotions were rarely seen in Shen Shuyi.
Just from that, it was evident how close their relationship used to be.
After some perfunctory small talk, the women all sat on the sofa.
Seeing Liang Ruoxu, Qin Yingyue couldn’t stop smiling, holding her hand and chatting incessantly.
Lin Yi and Lin Jingzhan felt like they couldn’t contribute to the conversation, so they stood by the kitchen windowsill, chatting amongst themselves.
“Some time ago, Japan obtained an ancient manuscript, do you know about it?”
“I only heard about it later.” Lin Jingzhan said:
“Those bastards really have some tricks, to think that they actually found something in an underground tomb, we had never considered that.”
“Then why do you still seem so calm? Aren’t you interested in something so important?”
“You’re oversimplifying it. For most organizations in the world, obtaining those things is useless because they lack research capabilities,” Lin Jingzhan said:
“Even if the Freemasons and Mammon got it, they might not be able to achieve anything.” Lin Jingzhan continued:
“Looking over the whole world, only America, China, and Japan have the ability to conduct the research.”
“Is it that expensive?”
“Of course, research costs in the hundreds of billions are not something any organization can afford.”
“If these three countries can develop it, your overseas power would be threatened, right?”
Lin Jingzhan laughed.
“You can’t overestimate human nature, even God would bow down before money, let alone humans.”
“That’s true, but I don’t believe everyone can be swayed by money.”
“Indeed, but what’s the use? If you put a knife to their neck, will they dare to resist?”
“Some can resist the temptation of money, and some are not afraid to die.”
Lin Jingzhan shrugged, “If they are not afraid to die, let them die then. Anyone who poses a threat to me, I will try to win them over, and if I can’t, I will destroy them.”
“Such an approach seems like trading life for life.”
“You hit the nail on the head. Overseas, that’s the way it is: human life is the cheapest thing, everyone can die except oneself,” Lin Jingzhan said with a smile:
“However, you should be more cautious. One day, if Japan manages to research the thing, it will certainly be a threat to China.”
“That’s impossible. Not long ago, by a fortuitous coincidence, we took back that thing, and now it’s with the Central Guards Brigade.”
“Hmm?”
Hearing this news, Lin Jingzhan was also somewhat surprised.
“Pretty good, to have snatched back that thing.”
“It was luck, otherwise I wouldn’t even know of this.”
Lin Jingzhan fell silent for a moment.
“In Japan’s hands, it might not be a problem, but if it’s in China, it becomes a hot potato.”
“Are you saying, since Japan is America’s lapdog, even if they do research it, they would eventually work for America, but if China does, it would become a target of a united attack, am I right?”
“Yes.” Lin Jingzhan affirmed:
“However, I guess Elder Lu has some sort of plan in place. Whatever he plans, just follow his commands.”
“But the item is with the Central Guard Brigade, if anyone dares to steal it, it would be tantamount to declaring war on China.”
“You’re right, but don’t underestimate the ambitions of Western countries,” Lin Jingzhan said solemnly:
“This could be a world-altering item. I don’t really believe that America will just watch China walk away with it. Those materials are great, but they’re also a ticking time bomb.”
Lin Yi nodded, “How are things on the island?”
“It’s becoming more chaotic. Every faction is worried about being outpaced by others in getting the relics, and now they’re all getting restless,” Lin Jingzhan sighed:
“Just like the item that Japan got, I heard they lost over 200 people in the tomb, including more than ten B-level masters. The kind of loss even America can’t afford just shows how panicked they are.”
“It’s literally been built on people’s lives.”
“Even if it’s been built on lives, they’ve been driven to a dead end. Without the foundation of major countries like China and America, they have to resort to extreme methods, so now many powers and smaller state alliances are eager to charge in, but I don’t think it’s the right time.”
“So, you’re planning to stand by and watch things unfold?”
“I do have such thoughts, but the times push me forward, I can’t help it,” Lin Jingzhan said:
“Even if the returns are disproportionate, if a group can get their hands on the things inside, they could potentially turn the situation on the island and around the world. Even I could end up dead without a whole corpse, so now, even if I don’t want to move, I have to take a hard stance and push forward, it’s inescapable for anyone.”
“No wonder Boss Liu and Elder Lu both told me to prepare, saying that after the New Year, there might be a chance to go to the island. It’s probably for this reason.”
“Go for it.”
Lin Jingzhan looked at Lin Yi, his eyes ablaze.
“That’s where a man’s heaven lies.”
