Chapter 269: Almost Driven Crazy!
Lin Chuan won the case.
Steve was arrested.
The former's news hadn't spread yet.
The latter, however, was already known all over the world.
There were no lack of gawkers anywhere, but this piece of news, with its many twists and turns, delighted many people to no end, their emotions running high with excitement.
Especially the competitors of the Sania Weapons Research Company, who could say that joy had fallen from the sky. They had been pondering how to suppress Sania, but what happened?
Sania had stabbed itself twice, having provoked the National Weapons Research Institute of the Eastern Superpower.
In Lin Chuan's readers group, the "do-gooders," who were hoping to see Lin Chuan really enter prison for a round, hadn't expected such a turn of events.
[What? This twist is too much, isn't it?]
[The suspect @Mr. Lin, may I ask, what's your relationship with the National Weapons Research Institute?]
[Still calling him a suspect, Mr. Lin is now scarily popular!]
[Made a mistake, I'll have to keep my distance from Mr. Lin from now on, I'm afraid he'll send me in!]
[Bro upstairs, how much is your bounty?]
[Just 500,000, ah spit, bounty? What bounty, I don't understand what you're talking about!]
[@Mr. Lin, there's a bad guy here, remember to share half of the bounty you get with me!]
[Luckily, Mr. Lin didn't go in, otherwise there would be no book to read!]
[No book to read? I think you just won't have any techniques to learn, right?]
[I've only learned a little bit, and once I learn a bit more, I'm ready to make a move and test the waters!]
[Testing waters equates to courting death!]
[…]
The group was a sea of joy.
Lin Chuan saw this and chuckled.
As the saying goes, some families rejoice, some grieve.
Lin Chuan was happy, and his opponents were about to wail.
Two important figures of the Morgan Group, Lucas and Yu Qin, had placed champagne on the table, and now they were waiting for the news to arrive.
Although they had always predicted Lin Chuan's certain defeat,
they couldn't help but be expectant!
Lucas raised his wrist, revealing his dearly-loved mechanical watch, with its pointer ticking slightly, showing it was now noon.
The sunlight outside the window was just right, bright but not dazzling.
The breeze in Southeast Asia was still gentle, not like in Anling, where there were biting cold winds. The green plants outside swayed gently in the breeze, reflecting the buoyant mood of Lucas and Yu Qin.
"This farce is finally coming to a close," Lucas said, looking at the time and sighing with a smile.
A normal court hearing usually lasts 1-2 hours.
The court case between Lin Chuan and Sania being a bit complex, but after three hours, a result would have likely been reached.
Whether there would be an adjournment for further consideration or a verdict announced on the spot, they expected a notification soon.
"Indeed, it should come to a close, but Keke's matter still needs a bit of effort," Yu Qin said, the corners of her mouth lifting, her brow and eyes exuding confidence, her presence quite strong, with a touch of aloofness.
Yes, she had always been the image of a strong woman.
"Keke has suffered."
Lucas whispered softly, then laughed again, "However, the one who sent her there, Lin Chuan, is now utterly defeated, beyond redemption, hahaha."
Yu Qin crossed her arms and laughed, "Of course, this plan is meticulously unrivaled, no one who gets involved has any chance to crack it!"
Her tone was very confident.
This stemmed from her years of experience in the Middle East, dealing with all sorts of armed groups, amassing an invaluable trove of experience.
She had the means!
The Yu sisters were famous as the twin lotuses within the Morgan Group; some also called them the Black Roses because they were thorny.
As beautiful as Yu Qin and Yu Keke, if they didn't have real ability, even with the backing of big support, they would be just mere tools within the Morgan Group. But they were capable of shouldering big responsibilities, and someone like Lucas had to give face to them.
"Ah..."
Yu Qin flipped through her phone, sighing unexpectedly.
"What's wrong?" Lucas asked.
At that moment,
Yu Qin's phone screen displayed the homepage of "Arms Tycoon," and she said softly, "It's a pity, if Lin Chuan weren't our enemy, maybe he and I could have become friends."
Or perhaps, confidants.
She didn't say the latter out loud.
Regarding the book "Arms Tycoon," no one could identify with it more than her, and no one could understand the mindset of Mr. Lin within the book better than her.
It was a resonance between two arms tycoons within the pages.
Lucas found it hard to understand Yu Qin's thoughts, furrowing his brow, "Both you Yu sisters seem to have a soft spot for this Lin Chuan, I don't get it, what kind of charm does he possess?"
Lucas didn't doubt for a second.
If Lin Chuan had joined the Morgan Group as Yu Keke desired back then, by now, Yu Keke might have already been with Lin Chuan.
Back then, Yu Keke's obsession with Lin Chuan was very deep.
Now, Yu Qin also showed similar sentiments, making Lucas even more curious, what was so good about this web novel writer that he would be more charming than someone like me, the powerhouse of the criminal underworld?
"You wouldn't understand."
Yu Qin shook her head, then smiled, "Let's not talk about this. Lin Chuan is destined to be our enemy, I'm just lamenting for a moment the loss of an enemy."
Both were still laughing.
Suddenly,
the phone placed on Yu Qin's table started ringing.
Both looked at each other, seeing the joy in the other's eyes.
Here it comes!
Yu Qin's lips curved slightly, and a captivating smile emerged on her beautiful face as she picked up the phone and answered.
It was a virtual number.
She asked, "Is the result out?"
As she spoke, a glint of brightness passed through her eyes.
Yu Qin hadn't put the call on speaker, so she couldn't hear the voice on the other end.
