Chapter 310 Lin Wan'er's "Pledge of Allegiance"?

After the celebration banquet ended, the Gu family courtyard returned to tranquility.

Under the dim light of the desk lamp, the badge engraved with a ferocious jaguar totem was thrown onto the table, making a dull metallic clang.

Gu Beichen unbuttoned his top button, sat down in the chair, and pointed to the badge.

"That mercenary leader wanted to use this to save his life before he died."

He lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it; he just held it between his fingers.

He said a name, Barella.

Su Yue picked up the badge.

The workmanship is rough, but the material is special, heavy, and carries a bloody smell.

Jaguar, the apex predator of the South American jungle.

"Barella".

As Su Yue murmured the name, she quickly rummaged through her memories of her past and present lives.

The name was repeatedly mentioned in the intelligence sent back from Hong Kong by my second uncle, Huo Shouxin.

A powerful warlord, entrenched on the border of a South American country, commands a private army that controls the local drug and mineral trade and serves as a sanctuary for many internationally wanted criminals.

"That makes sense."

Su Yue threw the badge back onto the table.

"The Huo family found out that after Lin Wan'er fled Red Star Farm, she traveled to many places and finally settled in South America."

"Her so-called 'prophetic' abilities helped her gain a foothold in the local area."

Gu Beichen frowned slightly.

"You mean, Lin Wan'er was also involved in this attack?"

"She doesn't have the ability to mobilize a submarine."

Su Yue walked to the world map on the wall and drew a circle around the location of South America with her finger.

"But she's a perfect middleman."

"Bai Cao Tang wants the formula, overseas capital wants the technology, and Barrera wants money and weapons."

"Lin Wan'er connected these three parties together."

"She hates me, and she hates you too."

"Therefore, this operation is both a business deal and a revenge plot."

Gu Beichen stubbed out his cigarette.

"Cut the weeds but don't pull them out by the roots."

He stood up and walked behind Su Yue.

"She should have been killed on the farm back then."

Su Yue turned around and straightened his slightly disheveled collar.

"Killing her back then would have been too easy on her."

"Moreover, she still had some value to her at that time."

"Now……"

Su Yue paused for a moment.

"Now, her value is even greater."

"What's the meaning?"

"Any news from Qin Zheng?"

Su Yue didn't answer directly, but asked a question instead.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of a Jeep braking came from outside the door.

The guard jogged in and handed Gu Beichen an urgent coded telegram.

"Chief of Staff, this is from Major Qin in Beijing, top secret."

Gu Beichen opened the envelope, glanced at it, and handed it to Su Yue.

"You are truly a prophet."

Su Yue took the telegram.

There were only a few lines of text on the paper.

[South American informant reports: Rim has broken with Barre, and due to his inaccurate prediction, Barre suffered heavy losses. He is currently imprisoned in the dungeon of Barrera's private estate, and his life is in danger. He is secretly seeking help from the outside world.]

After reading the telegram, Su Yue held it up to the candle flame.

The flames swept across the paper, turning it to ashes.

"The prediction failed?"

Su Yue sneered.

"Her mind is filled with nothing but snippets of future news."

"With the flapping of a butterfly's wings, the trajectory of history can be slightly deviated, and her 'prophecy' becomes nothing but waste paper."

"Warlords like Barrera can turn on you faster than flipping through a book."

"A useless prophet is just a fraud."

"Scammers usually end up in a terrible situation."

Gu Beichen watched as the ashes fell onto the table.

"You want to save her?"

"save?"

Su Yue shook her head.

"I'm going to drain her dry."

"Lin Wan'er has been by Barella's side for so long, serving as both a 'strategist' and a 'god of wealth'."

"She must have key evidence of the collusion between Barella and Baicaotang."

"There are even ledgers for money laundering by overseas capital."

"These things are more valuable than her life."

Three days later.

A letter, through the Huo family's extremely secretive overseas business channels, was delivered to Hainan Island after several transfers.

The envelope was unsigned, with only a drawing of a distorted red star on it.

Those are wildflowers unique to Red Star Farm.

Su Yue opened the envelope.

The letter was crumpled and stained with dark red marks, whether blood or rust, it was hard to tell.

The handwriting was messy, revealing the writer's extreme panic.

[Su Yue:]

I knew it was you.

Help me! Please help me, for the sake of our past sisterhood!

[I was forced into it! It's all that devil Barella's fault! He forced me to betray information and target Gu Beichen!]

I have all the financial records between Barella and Baicaotang, as well as their plans to establish a new base in Southeast Asia!

"If you rescue me, I'll give you everything!"

I'm dying in the dungeon... Please...

Lin Wan'er.

After reading the letter, Su Yue casually tossed it onto the coffee table.

"Compatriots?"

Gu Beichen was sitting on the sofa, wiping a military dagger.

Upon hearing those two words, he didn't stop moving, but let out a cold snort from his nose.

"It's at times like these that I remember we're compatriots."

“When she lured outsiders to kill me, she never thought of those two words.”

Su Yue picked up an apple from the table and began peeling it.

The blade moved smoothly and evenly across the apple peel.

"When people are in dire straits, they will say anything."

"She thinks I'm stupid too."

"She was reborn and thinks she's the protagonist."

"Now that the script has fallen apart, she wants to switch to a different script."

"From 'villainous supporting character' to 'enduring humiliation as an undercover agent'?"

Su Yue cut a piece of the peeled apple and put it into Gu Beichen's mouth.

"Dream on."

Gu Beichen chewed on an apple, looking at Su Yue.

"So what do you plan to do?"

"Since she wants to make a deal, then let's do it according to the rules of a deal."

I don't believe empty promises.

"I want to see the goods."

Su Yue stood up, walked to the desk, and spread out a sheet of letter paper.

She picked up her pen, the tip hovering over the paper.

"Barrera's troop deployment map at the border."

"And the password to his Swiss bank master account for financial transactions with overseas forces."

"If anything is missing, there's no point in discussing it."

Gu Beichen walked over and watched her put pen to paper.

“These things are Barrera’s lifeblood.”

"If Lin Wan'er could get these, Barella would have chopped her to pieces long ago."

Su Yue finished writing the last word and put down her pen.

"She can get it."

"Lin Wan'er is greedy, selfish, and afraid of death."

"She'll do anything to survive."

"Moreover, she also has that 'cheat code'."

"Although the overall situation has changed, she knows some details better than anyone else."

"For example, where Barrera hides the safe, the password is the birthday of one of his mistresses."

Su Yue folded the letter and put it in an envelope.

"Give this letter to my second uncle."

“Let him go back through the original channels.”

Tell Lin Wan'er.

"This is her last chance."

"Either use these things to exchange for your life."

"Or, let it rot in that dungeon and wait to become fertilizer in Barella's backyard."

Gu Beichen took the envelope.

"If she really gets it, should we really save her?"

He had an instinctive aversion to saving an enemy who had tried to kill him several times.

That would be a desecration of the sacrifice of our comrades.

Su Yue turned around and looked at Gu Beichen.

She reached out and smoothed the wrinkles between his brows.

"Beichen".

"Political games are not about seeking personal revenge."

"Lin Wan'er is a knife."

"A rusty knife, but also poisoned."

"Barella is a cancer in South America, and Baicaotang is a bloodsucking worm attached to him."

“We are halfway around the world, so it’s difficult for us to take direct action against them.”

"But if we could get this knife to go in from the inside..."

Su Yue didn't finish her sentence.

But Gu Beichen understood.

To use someone else to do one's dirty work.

Or rather, it's like dogs fighting.

"I see."

Gu Beichen put the envelope into his pocket.

"I will arrange for the military's intelligence network to cooperate with the Huo family."

"Once she gets the item and verifies that it is correct."

“We will give her a way out.”

He deliberately emphasized the words "a way out".

Su Yue smiled.

The smile didn't reach his eyes.

"certainly."

There are many ways to make a living.

"Some paths to survival are harder to take than paths to death."
