Chapter 311 Turning a Waste Mine into a Gold Mine!

South America, the dungeon of Barrera's private estate.

The air was filled with a foul stench of mold and excrement.

A huge rat emerged from a crack in the puddle and swaggered across the feet that once wore expensive high heels but were now ulcerated and oozing pus.

Lin Wan'er huddled in the corner, clutching the letter that had just been delivered tightly in her hand.

That was Su Yue's reply.

It was also her only lifeline.

The letter was crumpled and wrinkled, the handwriting cold and sharp. Su Yue wanted Barrera's troop deployment map and the Swiss bank's password.

not enough.

These chips are not enough.

Lin Wan'er stared at the dim oil lamp, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Barrera was a suspicious and madman. He changed the combination to his safe every day, and only he and a few close confidants knew his troop deployments.

Although she had served as a "strategist," she had no access to such core secrets.

If they can't produce what Su Yue wants, then the knife hanging over their heads will fall.

She didn't want to die.

She is a reincarnated person, she has the memories of the next few decades, she is the protagonist of this world, how can she die in this dark and desolate place?

We must find a way.

We must offer a super bargaining chip that Su Yue, and even the whole world, cannot refuse.

My brain was racing, and memories of my past life flashed through my mind like a slideshow.

Suddenly, the image freezes.

That was a financial news story that caused a global sensation in its previous life.

On the edge of the territory controlled by Barrera, there is a copper mine that has been abandoned for many years.

Everyone thought it was a barren mountain, and even Barrera himself thought it took up too much space.

But six months later, an American exploration team will discover an amazing secret there.

Beneath that abandoned mine lies a super-large lithium mine with the world's third-largest reserves!

In the future, lithium, known as "white oil," will be the heart of new energy sources and a strategic resource even more precious than gold. Whoever controls lithium mines will control the energy lifeline of the next era.

Lin Wan'er's chapped lips trembled slightly, then parted into a distorted smile.

There's always a way out.

This is her trump card.

If you sell this secret, you'll have not only freedom, but also a lifetime of wealth and luxury.

As for Su Yue?

Once she has money, power, and an army, crushing Su Yue will be as easy as crushing an ant.

Lin Wan'er climbed up to the iron railing and pounded on the rusty iron gate.

"Someone come here! I need to see Rodriguez's men! I have a big business deal!"

The guard was a greedy fat man. Upon hearing the words "big business," he slowly walked over.

Lin Wan'er took out the last gold ring she had hidden in her underwear and passed it through the gap in the railing.

"Pass on a message to General Rodriguez. Tell him I know where Barrera's vault is. Not gold, but something a hundred times more valuable than gold."

...

Hainan Island, military compound.

Su Yue sat at her desk, holding a newly translated telegram in her hand.

The telegram was sent by Qin Zheng, containing intelligence intercepted by his informants in South America.

"White oil?"

Gu Beichen stood behind her, his eyebrows slightly raised.

“Lin Wan’er is at her wit’s end and is starting to sell her ‘future’.” Su Yue placed the telegram on the table, her fingers tapping lightly on the surface. “Rodriguez is Barella’s mortal enemy. The two have been fighting for years on the border over a few worthless copper mines. Lin Wan’er wants to use this secret to get Rodriguez to save her and, incidentally, get a share of the spoils.”

“Lithium ore.” Gu Beichen keenly grasped the key point. “If it’s true, this stuff is indeed valuable.”

“Of course it’s true.” Su Yue stood up and walked to the world map. “That’s all that’s valuable in Lin Wan’er’s head.”

She had seen the news from her previous life.

That mine does exist.

Lin Wan'er made a mistake.

In this era, in this dog-eat-dog international arena, possessing a treasure is a crime.

A small warlord cannot swallow such a big cake.

Lin Wan'er thought she was playing a grand game, but in reality, she was just throwing a piece of fat meat into the wolf pack.

"Did Rodriguez believe it?" Gu Beichen asked.

“I believe it.” Su Yue sneered. “People die for money, birds die for food. Rodriguez sent people to secretly explore, and the preliminary results show that the lithium content in that area is indeed abnormally high. He is now assembling troops, preparing to raid Barella’s territory, seize the mine, and incidentally ‘rescue’ Lin Wan’er.”

"Then what do we do?"

"Intercepting".

Su Yue uttered two words.

"How could such a huge strategic resource fall into the hands of warlords? Or will it benefit the Americans in the future?"

She picked up the phone and dialed her second uncle Huo Shouxin's number.

"Second Uncle, please help me contact the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources, as well as all the Huo family's connections overseas."

"I want to give the country a great gift."

...

South America, border jungle.

The atmosphere in Rodriguez's temporary command post was fervent.

The exploration report was on the table, and the strings of numbers on it looked to him like mountains of US dollars.

"General, that woman wasn't lying! It really is a mountain of gold!" The adjutant was so excited his face turned red.

Rodriguez, a cigar dangling from his lips, had a greedy glint in his eyes.

With this mine, he can buy the most advanced weapons, hire top assassins, completely wipe out Barrera, and become the sole king of this land.

"Pass down the order: take action tonight!"

Rodriguez slammed his fist on the map.

"Target: the abandoned mining area! Take over the mine first, then go to the dungeon and get that woman out. She definitely has other good ideas in her head."

Night falls.

Rodriguez's elite troops, under the cover of night, stealthily made their way towards the abandoned mine.

Lin Wan'er waited anxiously in the dungeon.

She heard the sound of gunfire in the distance.

That is the voice of freedom.

That is the voice of wealth.

She straightened her tattered clothes, trying to make herself look presentable. When Rodriguez's men arrived, she wanted to walk out as a collaborator, not a prisoner.

She wanted to show Su Yue what a comeback from a desperate situation was all about.

The gunshots grew closer.

Lin Wan'er's heart pounded wildly.

However, at that moment, the dungeon door was suddenly kicked open.

It wasn't Rodriguez's reinforcements who rushed in.

It was Barrera.

Barrera was covered in blood, holding a submachine gun in his hand, and had a ferocious smile on his face.

"You wretch! You really are a menace!"

Lin Wan'er retreated in terror. "You...how could you..."

"You're hoping Rodriguez will come to rescue you?" Barella grabbed her hair and dragged her to the ground. "Too bad, your wishful thinking is thwarted."

"What's the meaning?"

"See for yourself!"
