Chapter 628: I Am the Villain

Year 6040 in the Xia calendar

Lin Jiang was attacked in Qingyun. After wandering around for five days, Lin Jiang returned to Huaxia. This time, Lin Jiang didn’t go back to Haigang City directly, but went straight to Jingdu City and walked into Central Street.

Lin Jiang was definitely going to seek revenge, but dealing with two out of the top three countries in the world on his own was impossible. He needed the support of the whole of Huaxia and a legitimate reason.

When Yuan Xiao saw Lin Jiang, he quickly dismissed all his people. He knew Lin Jiang was coming to confront him.

"How should I address you, sir?"

"My surname is Lin, first name is Can."

"Lin Can."

Yuan Xiao pondered for a moment in his mind. He hadn’t heard of this famous person in hundreds of years.

"Or you can call me by another name, Lin Yang."

"You…"

Yuan Xiao’s brain froze on the spot because the name Lin Yang was recorded in the history of the Huaxia Federation. Between World War I and the beginning of World War II, Lin Yang was the fastest rising tycoon in the Huaxia Federation. He founded many companies of historical significance, such as that film company. The movies it produced were the kind that could be included in textbooks.

"Do you want to know more of my names?"

"No need, I understand now. No wonder Qingyun and Zhou Liao went against you."

Yuan Xiao said, just the name Lin Yang was enough because Lin Yang was a figure from over a hundred years ago, which was beyond the knowledge of most people, anything more would be meaningless.

"Oh, did Qingyun and Zhou Liao explain?"

"Yes, they sent a diplomatic note a few days ago, they explained that the intelligence department discovered that you had surpassed the cultivation of a Martial Saint. So a few people took risks and abused their power to persecute you. They have already arrested these criminals and will give them the harshest punishment."

"Do you think I can calm down this way?"

"Mr. Lin, forgive my directness, but this is just a misunderstanding. The friendship among the Alliance Three Countries has lasted for thousands of years. It cannot be ruined by one person."

"What if I have to?"

"Mr. Lin, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot control everyone’s will. This is what the people want. The lives of billions of people in the three countries should not be used as a tool for your anger."

"Did I say I want to start a war?"

"Then, what do you propose?"

"It’s just about teaching those who deserve it a lesson. Prime Minister, I am also a citizen of Huaxia. When the people of Huaxia are being bullied, shouldn’t the motherland seek justice for them?"

"I am the Prime Minister. I am responsible for all the citizens. I…"

"I will handle your opponents, the other financial conglomerates of Huaxia. You just need to cooperate. After it’s done, I will give you ten spots at Dawn Sanatorium, where you will receive the best treatment."

"As the Prime Minister, how can I watch my people being bullied? Don’t worry, they will pay for it."

Yuan Xiao hesitated for only a second, then immediately changed his mind.

Dawn Sanatorium is the top hospital in Huaxia, unmatched by any other financial group, including the Yuan family behind Yuan Xiao, who have their own private hospitals but cannot compare in terms of technology.

Dawn Sanatorium has developed treatments for dozens of types of cancer. Even for those without a cure, they can still experience a high quality of life there. People with good health can live more comfortably there. Data shows that elderly people with good health who undergo treatment there have an average lifespan of over 120 years, making it a highly sought-after place for the elite in Huaxia.

Yuan Xiao is over sixty years old. By the time he retires, he will be over seventy. He is not lacking in wealth or status, but he lacks this kind of longevity. After all, who doesn’t want to live a few more years? The older you get, the more you fear death, not joking, right?

"Thank you, Prime Minister, you will be the most outstanding Prime Minister in the history of Huaxia, your name will go down in history."

Lin Jiang stood up, bowed to Yuan Xiao, and then left satisfied.

He has been heavily investing in biology and healthcare for almost a century. Dawn Sanatorium is just a brand, the key lies in its accompanying private hospitals and research institutes, which can provide tailor-made medical services for them. The technology inside surpasses all other hospitals on the market. Indeed, the majority of medical technological innovations in the past few decades are related to them, making it one of Lin Jiang’s most important assets.

Now, whenever the world’s top billionaires suffer from serious illnesses, the first place they think of is Dawn Sanatorium. However, it’s not easy to get in. It’s not just about paying exorbitant fees. There are many hidden criteria, making the slots at Dawn Sanatorium extremely expensive. Lin Jiang is now giving Yuan Xiao ten slots, turning them into significant chips in his hands.

"Sir…"

Upon returning to the mansion villa in Haigang City, the secretary team quickly came to greet them.

Lin Jiang waved his hand and then walked into the office, asking, "Have you found out the reason why someone laid hands on me?"

"Sir, there are currently two theories. Firstly, someone has discovered some of your secrets and wants to capture you, turning you into an experimental subject. Secondly, there are some warnings from the Huaxia side. It is believed that you have taken control of Huaxia and have been infiltrating into Qingyun and Zhou Liao, causing the elite there to fear being controlled by you, hence they struck first."

"Which do you think is the reason?"

"We cannot be certain about that."

"Alright, regardless of the reason, is the retaliation plan ready?"

"The think tank has several plans for you to review, sir."

The secretary quickly handed the plans to Lin Jiang, who swiftly skimmed through them.

"I am not happy with these plans. Assassination, economic sanctions, they are not the goals, not enough to appease me."

"What else does the sir require?"

"My request is to completely control Qingyun and Zhou Liao."

"This…"

"I have no time requirement, ten years, twenty years, thirty years, fifty years, or even one hundred years, all are fine."

Lin Jiang said that it took him hundreds of years to control Huaxia, and he doesn’t mind spending another hundred years to control Qingyun and Zhou Liao, he has plenty of time.

And he doesn’t think it will take that long, because he used to take so long due to lack of resources, now he has plenty of resources, and Qingyun and Zhou Liao already have many of his people.

"Yes, sir, I will pass it on, the think tank will give you a satisfactory reply soon."

The secretary said, they all believe that Lin Jiang has the power to do it.

The overall plan was completed in ten days, and it wasn’t difficult. We followed Huaxia’s model, controlling the economy of Qingyun and Zhou Liao, and supporting Lin Jiang’s agent to take control.

But there were many details to consider, like how to control and support. It’s a delicate matter that needs to be handled quietly to avoid backlash from those who might unite against you.

"The first step of the retaliation plan is to remove the current leaders of Qingyun and Zhou Liao. Let’s execute it according to the advice of the think tank."

Lin Jiang waved his hand, saying that the first step of the plan had been made – to remove the current leaders of Qingyun and Zhou Liao. Lin Jiang’s team had experience in this area.

For example, leaking some scandals to make them resign on their own, or undermining someone’s achievements to create internal dissatisfaction, and supporting their political rivals. There are many ways to achieve this.
