Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Chapter 318: Chapter 227: The Si Clan’s Legacy? Explosion and Assassination

"In that case, I have to thank you, Brother Xiao Gu. United Pharmaceutical is determined to win this competition."

Lin Qi stated his position and thanked Xiao Gu.

Everyone present heard the way Lin Qi and Xiao Gu addressed each other and gasped.

’This Rotor Pharmaceutical, this Xiao Gu... he actually seized the opportunity and is really about to take off.’

’It seems Xiao Gu’s proactive networking in the past really was useful. We’ll have to study such methods carefully in the future.’

The meeting was basically coming to an end. The time and schedule for the summit had not yet been finalized, and further news was still pending.

Just then, an email arrived in Lin Qi’s inbox. The sender was none other than Liu Xuan.

[Meet at 2 PM in the Liu’s Heavy Industry Branch conference room. The specific time and schedule for the summit have been set. Jin Yuanxi ordered a security team to deliver a file to me. I need your help.]

’Everything was in place, waiting for the final piece. And here it was.’

He glanced at the time. It was almost noon.

Lin Qi needed to get ready before going to see Liu Xuan.

Before leaving the conference room, Lin Qi waved Xiao Gu over and said, "Brother Xiao Gu, I just received an email from Chairman Liu. The time and schedule for the summit have been set. I’ll get the exact intel this afternoon. In the meantime, I’ll have to trouble you with matters concerning the Medical Small Business Alliance."

Integrating resources wasn’t just a matter of talk; there were too many things that needed to be coordinated, and at the very least, they needed to get a preliminary sense of intent from the various small businesses.

Hearing Lin Qi’s words, Xiao Gu’s expression immediately turned to one of pleasant surprise.

’It’s a lock!’

’United Pharmaceutical actually found out the summit’s time and schedule in advance!’

’This means United Pharmaceutical has a mole in the Permanent Council!’

’Who’s the mole?’

’Is there even any need to ask?’

’It’s either Jin Yuanxi or Qiao Xi!’

’Or maybe even both of them!’

’With that kind of backing, it’s a foregone conclusion that United Pharmaceutical will seize the Si Clan’s legacy and, in one fell swoop, become the top Pharmacy enterprise in the Asian Administrative Region.’

’And on top of that, United Pharmaceutical has the backing of the Liu Clan!’

...

’In the future, United Pharmaceutical might not just be a major corporation.’

’It could become a brand new... Intercontinental Giant Corporation!’

’Building a good relationship with the senior executives of such a terrifyingly powerful company would definitely help me make a leap in social status.’

"Brother Lin Qi, rest assured. Leave everything to me!"

Xiao Gu’s gaze was firm. At this moment, he was more certain than ever that the truly valuable return on his years of diligent networking was finally about to materialize!

After nodding to Xiao Gu, Lin Qi left the conference room with Brother Green Hair.

They took an elevator to the dining area of the Alliance Mansion.

...

In the afternoon, a Floating Vehicle belonging to Liu’s Heavy Industries landed steadily at the Alliance Mansion’s docking port.

Lin Qi and Brother Green Hair boarded it together, taking the Floating Vehicle to the Liu’s Heavy Industry Branch.

The journey wasn’t too long. The Liu’s Heavy Industry Branch was near the core area of Alliance City. If you were to divide the city by ring roads, it would be considered within the Fourth Ring.

Originally, the trip wouldn’t have taken very long; they should have arrived in ten-odd minutes at most.

But on the way, as Lin Qi stared blankly out at the city below, lost in thought, a flash of incandescent white light suddenly appeared.

’An S-Class restricted bomb?’

As a senior researcher, Lin Qi recognized it.

It was the cheapest disposable weapon among S-Class Weapons, priced at only around two million. You could afford one by selling off just under half of Brother Green Hair.

But for this thing to explode in Alliance City, and so close to the core area, was definitely a major incident.

[LPD WARNING RECEIVED. WE ARE ORDERED TO DOCK AT THE NEAREST PORT IMMEDIATELY AND UNDERGO A SECURITY INSPECTION.]

The Floating Vehicle’s pilot sent the message to Lin Qi via the onboard screen.

’What a pain. A disaster that has nothing to do with us.’

’Just for seeing an explosion from afar, the Floating Vehicle was going to be impounded, and we’d have to undergo a security inspection.’

Fortunately, this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Lin Qi.

’Which faction did this? Using an S-Class restricted bomb here? It must be an assassination mission.’

Lin Qi wasn’t panicking, but out of habit, his mind started to branch out, considering whether this incident could be related to his current plans.

’Thinking it over, there were too many potential suspects.’

’Ninghang Technology’s public Black Market mission alone was enough to attract too many powerful Mercenary Corps to gather in Alliance City.’

’Judging by Ninghang Technology’s recent activities, it was about time a Mercenary Corps made a move.’

He didn’t dwell on it for long. The Floating Vehicle Lin Qi was in soon landed at a nearby docking port.

"Aren’t those Director Jin’s men?"

Beside Lin Qi, Brother Green Hair suddenly pointed toward the docking port’s entrance.

A security team was arriving at the docking port in a Floating Vehicle to conduct an inspection.

The one in the lead was none other than Xiaojin, who had arrived with all the members of the Ninth Security Team.

’Even the security team is here?’

’Could it be that the explosion just now wasn’t from the ground, but an attack from a Floating Vehicle?’

Lin Qi activated his Spiritual Vision to survey the situation inside the docking port.

At that moment, there were a total of six Floating Vehicles in the docking port. Besides the one from the Liu Clan, the other five were from different major corporations.

Within Alliance City, only major corporations were qualified to use Floating Vehicles.

Ordinary businesses could only use small flying vehicles at limited altitudes.

After scanning the area with his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi found nothing out of the ordinary.

At a glance, the interiors of the other Floating Vehicles were filled with what looked like diligent corporate drones, and the vehicles themselves showed no signs of carrying weapons.
