Chapter 313 The "Chosen One" was sent to mine!
Just a few hours ago, the woman named Lin Wan'er confidently told him that this was an unclaimed gold mine, and that as long as he acted quickly enough, he could snatch this piece of fat before everyone else.
How could it become a key project protected by international law overnight?
The tent flap was lifted, and Lin Wan'er rushed in excitedly.
"General! Did you succeed? I told you about that mine..."
"Smack!"
A resounding slap sent Lin Wan'er flying. She crashed heavily into an ammunition box, half her face instantly swelling up, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Lin Wan'er covered her face, staring incredulously at Rodriguez's ferocious expression.
"General, you..."
"You liar!" Rodriguez drew his pistol, the dark muzzle pointing at her forehead. "Didn't you say it was an abandoned mine? Didn't you say it was no man's land? Now it's covered in UN flags! My troops were driven back before they even fired a shot!"
Lin Wan'er's mind went blank.
United Nations?
How is that possible?
In her past life's memories, the lithium mine was only discovered six months later, which then triggered a three-year warlord conflict before it was finally acquired by Western capital at a low price.
Where is the timeline at now?
Why did the United Nations get involved? Why were there Chinese involved?
"No...no! That's not how the script was written!" Ignoring the pain, Lin Wan'er crawled to Rodriguez's feet. "There must be some mistake! I have precognitive abilities, I can't be wrong! That mine really is..."
"Shut up!"
Rodriguez kicked her away.
"Your precognitive abilities are a joke! I deployed all my heavy weapons for this operation, and now not only have I failed to get any meat, I've also gotten myself into a mess! That madman Barella definitely knows I'm trying to take over his territory, and he won't let me get away with this!"
Lin Wan'er trembled all over.
She suddenly thought of someone.
Su Yue.
Apart from Su Yue, no one else has such extraordinary means to get the Chinese government and international giants involved simultaneously, directly cutting off the warlord struggle at its root.
This is a drastic measure.
Su Yue never intended to compete with these warlords; she simply overturned the table and switched to a card table that only the state was qualified to use.
In this level of competition, Lin Wan'er's pitiful "prophetic" advantage is like using a slingshot against an anti-bullet.
"General...General, please listen to me..." Lin Wan'er tried to grasp at the last straw, "I still have other value! I know Barella's weakness! I can help you..."
"You do still have some value."
Rodriguez put away his gun, a cruel smile spreading across his face.
“Barella must hate you to death right now. If I send you back and give him the evidence that you betrayed him, maybe he'll be happy and forgive my offense.”
Lin Wan'er's pupils suddenly contracted.
"No! You can't do this! I'm your ally! I've helped you make a fortune..."
"Someone come here!"
Rodriguez wouldn't listen to her nonsense at all.
Two strong soldiers rushed in and dragged Lin Wan'er away like a dead dog.
"Tie this woman up securely and put her in a box. Also, pack up all the maps and intelligence she drew for me before. I want to personally deliver a big gift to Barella."
"Rodriguez! You'll die a horrible death! I am the chosen one! I am reborn! You can't do this to me!"
Lin Wan'er's shrill screams echoed through the camp, but were quickly silenced by a tattered rag stuffed into her mouth.
...
Barrera's estate.
When the huge wooden crate was opened, Lin Wan'er rolled out like a lump of rotten flesh.
She was covered in injuries, her hands and feet were chained, and after the rag in her mouth was ripped out, she gasped for breath, looking at Barrera sitting on the sofa in fear.
Barrera was holding a stack of documents.
That was Rodriguez's "pledge of allegiance"—a troop deployment map of Barrera drawn by Lin Wan'er herself, along with the coordinates of several secret strongholds she provided.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Barrera flipped through the documents and let out a sigh.
"Wan'er, how come I never noticed before that you have such a good memory? You even remember exactly which village my mistress lives in."
Lin Wan'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
"General! I was forced! Rodriguez forced me to write it! You are the only one in my heart!"
"Forced?"
Barrera stood up, walked over to her, and squatted down.
He reached out and lifted Lin Wan'er's chin, looking at the face that had once fascinated him but now disgusted him.
"Rodriguez's men told me that you approached him offering to give him a mountain of gold. And what happened? You didn't get the gold; instead, you attracted the attention of the Chinese and the United Nations, causing me to lose a huge chunk of territory!"
Although he hadn't paid much attention to that abandoned mine before, it had now become an international project, which meant someone had stuck a knife in his doorstep.
All of this is thanks to this woman.
“No…no…” Lin Wan’er cried, tears streaming down her face. “It was Su Yue! That bitch Su Yue ruined me! General, please believe me just this once, I really can help you turn things around! I know the future…”
That's enough.
Barrera stood up and wiped his hands in disgust.
"I have no interest in your future. I'm only interested in your body right now."
Lin Wan'er was taken aback, then a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.
Does Barrera still have feelings for his ex?
However, Barrera's next words plunged her into the deepest abyss.
“That mine is now an international project, and I heard they’re recruiting workers. Even though I don’t own it, I still have to show my support.”
Barella turned to look at his adjutant.
"Send her to the mine. Sign her a lifetime contract."
"What?!" Lin Wan'er screamed, "No! I won't go mining! I'm a rich young lady! I was reborn! I can't be a laborer!"
"A rich girl?" Barella sneered. "There, you're just a number. I heard that mine is particularly deep, never seeing sunlight, perfect for a rat like you who likes to scheme in the gutter."
"By the way, don't let her die too quickly."
Barrera waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly.
"Let her live. Let her see with her own eyes how the 'white oil' she so desperately wants is extracted bit by bit and then sent to her enemy, Su Yue, to make money."
This is the ultimate form of retribution.
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.
Two soldiers stepped forward and dragged Lin Wan'er away.
"No—! Su Yue! Gu Beichen! You will all die a horrible death! I will haunt you even as a ghost!"
Lin Wan'er's desperate screams grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared completely.
