Chapter 625: The Sudden Assassination

Azure Clouds

Lin Jiang was having a video call with his secretary team when the sudden death of a small vice president made him very angry. It might have been unexpected for many people and they might have just been testing him, but it ended up triggering Lin Jiang’s strong response.

The change in leadership at Liuhe Consortium was just the first step. In the following days, other financial groups would also gradually be replaced. If they remained loyal, they could keep their wealth but lose their power. If any disloyalty was discovered, their lives would be in danger.

As a leader, Lin Jiang had to be ruthless.

While chatting, the video suddenly cut off. Lin Jiang’s heart skipped a beat. He picked up his phone, but there was no signal. Then, he tried a satellite phone, but still no signal.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Chen Yuanhua burst in.

"Sir, we’ve lost signal here."

"Come with me, now. Bring your things."

Without hesitation, Lin Jiang stood up, leaving everything behind except for the spiritual treasures he had unearthed. He grabbed his secretary and, activating his special powers, they left.

"Come with me quickly."

Chen Yuanhua also immediately called out, and a dozen bodyguards quickly caught up.

They were all Martial Arts Masters with great agility, following Lin Jiang at great speed as he left the mansion. Although the mansion had a deep basement, Lin Jiang didn’t go there, but headed towards a spatial fragment in the distant mountains and forests.

"Boom."

"Boom."

Halfway there, Lin Jiang saw several missiles exploding in the mansion they had just left, with even bunker-busting bombs among them.

The enormous shockwaves almost threw Chen Yuanhua and the others into the air, but Lin Jiang was unharmed. Ignoring the danger, Lin Jiang continued walking forward. As they approached the spatial fragment, Lin Jiang saw dozens of shells incoming, but they were already far away from them.

"Pew, pew, pew…"

Two drones emerged from the clouds, guns blazing. The two bodyguards could not dodge in time and were turned into a mist of blood. These so-called Martial Arts Masters were just as vulnerable at that moment.

"Teacher, how are you doing?"

"I’m fine, how about all of you?"

Lin Jiang shook his head, he was the fastest runner, so of course he was fine.

"Two broken, three injured, the rest are fine, but most of the weapons are lost, only some spears left."

Chen Yuanhua replied, they brought many weapons, including anti-aircraft weapons, but they didn’t have time to take them, all were destroyed.

"Blocking ground station signals is not difficult, but to block my satellite phone, they must have used electronic machines, they are treating me as a military target."

"Sir, the missiles, heavy artillery just now, plus military drones, those aren’t something Qingyun Corporation can possess, most likely the military from Qingyun intervened."

"I also think so, but the issue is I don’t think I have offended Qingyun’s military, at most, I stole their genetic medicine formula previously, it seems like our corporation and they had a lot of cooperation."

"Could it be those corporations…"

"I don’t know, forget it. Do you have a plan for this kind of situation?"

"Yes, once we lose contact, my senior brother’s team will immediately start an investigation, but this time it went beyond our plan, our plan was focused on the Huaxia Federation."

Chen Yuanhua said they didn’t expect Green Cloud or Zhou Liao to use regular troops against Lin Jiang, so their plans were focused on senior Huaxia officials, which left them unprepared and very worried.

"Don’t worry, the electronic device can only stay in the air for a limited time, at most a few hours. Once we regain contact, we will pressure Green Cloud with Huaxia immediately."

Lin Jiang said no matter what, he cannot panic. He is confident he can overcome this crisis.

·······

In the Command Center of the Southwest Military Region of the Green Cloud Republic, a large group of people are watching the video sent back by the reconnaissance aircraft. When they see Lin Jiang escaping, many find it unbelievable.

Since they failed to kill Lin Jiang like this.

It’s important to note that from cutting off communication to the missile hitting, it only took about a minute, and there were also two combat drones shooting.

"General, we can’t find the target, it has disappeared."

A technical officer quickly reported to a few people that their reconnaissance satellites and planes couldn’t find the target, even though they used the most advanced methods.

"Fire three missiles at the previous location."

"Yes, General."

The order was quickly given, and three missiles were launched from the military camp, landing where the few people had just disappeared.

However, after the smoke cleared, despite the continuous analysis by the technical officer, there was still no success.

"General Dai, it seems we need to use ground forces. We only have one day; we can’t solve this in one day. We won’t be able to withstand the pressure from the big boss."

"The big boss has indeed become extremely powerful in recent years. Let’s make it one day. I will bring the strongest Black Dragon Task Force led by Zhou Liao."

An middle-aged man nodded. The Alliance of Three Countries and Huaxia have always been the strongest, surpassing even the former strongest Huaxia. They are now far ahead of them. If pressure is really applied, these two countries definitely won’t be able to cope.

"I will use the Iron Blood Squad of Qingyun, a team of eighty people, General Dai. I hope this time we can succeed, otherwise, we will both have to take the blame."

Hearing this, General Dai’s calm face couldn’t help but feel bitter. This operation was initiated by Qingyun and Zhou Liao, or more precisely, instigated by Zhou Liao with Qingyun.

Zhou Liao and Qingyun both discovered that the majestic Huaxia may have fallen under the control of the target this time, and his influence is growing rapidly. Years ago, Qingyun’s top-secret genetic potion was stolen, and there is evidence that this target is behind it.

The high-level officials of both countries are very cautious about this. They don’t want to become puppets of this person. Coincidentally, a mysterious figure on Zhou Liao’s side pointed out that this target may be an old monster who has lived for centuries, giving them even more reason to take action.

Who wouldn’t envy a lifespan of hundreds of years, especially those in power who haven’t enjoyed their extravagant lifestyles enough. In order to prolong their lives, they can be ruthless, let alone hunting down one person.

So both sides agreed on this operation. The intelligence agencies of the two countries conducted a secret investigation and found out that this person had arrived at Qingyun, setting up a secret plan.

However, regardless of the outcome, if the mission fails, someone must take the blame. The thousand-year friendship of the Alliance of Three Countries cannot be destroyed, so it will only be the personal will of a few individuals. Besides them, who else could take the blame?

"Let’s go."

General Dai said no more. Being a person with little background, he had to tough it out now.

The two people signed the order and sent out two special forces teams to the mansion. They started their mission immediately. The area was surrounded by many soldiers, but only the special forces were involved in the action. The regular troops blocked off the area under the guise of a military exercise.

The Black Dragon Task Force from Zhou Liao engaged the enemy first. They fought against Lin Jiang’s peripheral security personnel, who numbered in the hundreds and were stationed within a few kilometers of the area.

They were first cut off from all communication, then attacked by missiles and heavy artillery, leaving them disoriented. Now they were facing the elite special forces of two countries and were being overwhelmingly slaughtered.

Despite their strength, each person was a Martial Arts Master equipped with spears. If they had faced ordinary troops, they wouldn’t have been defeated so easily.

But now, they were struggling to win. Their weapons mainly consisted of melee and hand spears, with a few snipers and rocket launchers. The enemy, on the other hand, had tanks clearing the way, reconnaissance aircraft and drones in the sky, and artillery providing fire support from the rear. It seemed impossible to overcome.

"Boom, boom"

"Targets cleared, targets clear, continue advancing."

After a round of artillery fire, a voice came through the earpieces of the Black Dragon Task Force members. A sniper had briefly delayed them, but was eliminated through a barrage of firepower, as confirmed by the drones.

"I’ll cover you. Retreat to a place with signal and call for backup."

Suddenly, in a jungle, a big man ran out holding a spear in each hand, crazily shooting at the crowd. Some suppressed bodyguards quickly got up and ran towards the distant mountains, seeking shelter in the forest to escape the signal jamming area. Once they had a signal, they could send back the message for help. Their people would then come to rescue them.
