Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

After a long silence, Lin Qi and King Arthur approved Guang Ling’s plan.

Especially Lin Qi.

’That communication device is worth six million...’

’If I get a chance later, maybe I could still...’

’Forget it. That kind of high-value device is too sensitive. If I dared to make a move, I’d probably be caught red-handed by the Holy Relic Legion, a T0-level Mercenary Corps.’

Guang Ling continued the meeting. "The Wizard’s request has been fulfilled. If there’s anything else to add, you may bring it up now."

Lin Qi was about to ask for information on Si Ying, but Capitalist spoke before he could.

Capitalist cleared his throat. "I have some intelligence on Greenfield City I can provide for you two to reference."

’Capitalist is a stand-up guy! A good person, even if his codename is a little lame.’

"According to the latest news from the Big Business Alliance, the current situation in Red Fruit City and Greenfield City was primarily instigated by an Intercontinental Influence. It’s an assassination plot targeting the heirs of the two major corporations."

"The Big Business Alliance is not yet clear on the motive for the assassination. It could be a resource strike targeting Asia’s heavy industry and pharmaceutical sectors, but I believe the truth is not that simple."

"You are in Greenfield City, so you need to avoid direct contact with the Si Clan and the Liu Clan as much as possible. However, if you encounter a critical situation, you might be able to trade intelligence for sanctuary from these two corporations within Greenfield City."

As Capitalist spoke, he looked in King Arthur’s direction.

According to Capitalist’s intel, King Arthur seemed to have provoked someone formidable in Greenfield City, though not one of the two major corporations.

"The heirs of the two corporations are hidden very well. On the surface, there are at least four or five suspicious targets. Among them, Si Ranran of the Si Clan has already been successfully assassinated. Based on the Si Clan’s reaction, Si Ranran was very likely one of the real heirs."

"Furthermore, the Si Clan’s extremely high-profile public heir, Si Ranran’s brother Si Ying, is most likely bait. Given the current situation, even if he’s probably bait, plenty of fish will still bite."

Capitalist’s intelligence corroborated what Lin Qi already knew. Most of it aligned with his own suspicions.

’The only thing is, the intel didn’t include a personality profile for Si Ying. The guy is a lunatic—bait that bites back.’

The only public heirs of the Si Clan were the siblings Si Ying and Si Ranran. The remaining candidates were all hidden extremely well, their names unknown to the outside world. One could only go through everyone in Greenfield City with the surname Si and eliminate them one by one.

’But would an heir protected so meticulously by the Si Clan really parade their surname around so openly?’

"Next is the intelligence on the Liu Clan, which is also key information that you two can use."

"According to the latest intelligence from the Big Business Alliance, the Liu Clan has a total of three key figures who have arrived in Greenfield City this time."

"Liu Yue and Liu Heng, senior managers at Liu’s Heavy Industries. They are cousins, and Liu Heng is the biological son of the Liu Clan’s current leader, Liu Xingyuan."

Lin Qi’s eyebrows twitched.

’This intel is way off.’

’The Liu Clan sent more than two key figures to Greenfield City this time. Looks like either Liu Xuan or Liu Li is hidden extremely deep.’

’The one hidden deepest is probably Liu Xuan. I only know how important she is to the Liu Clan because I overheard the conversation between Liu Xingyuan and the train conductor.’

"As for the last one, this is the first time he has appeared in the Big Business Alliance’s intelligence network."

"This person is named Lin Qi. His public identity is an A-level Researcher, but according to our investigation, his information has been strictly sealed by the Liu Clan, and they have fabricated his records. He is the only researcher who arrived in Greenfield City on the Red and Green Train..."

His eyes widened.

’What the hell?’

’Who?’

’Me?’

Capitalist’s description continued: "According to a relatively reliable source, this researcher is very likely a hidden core figure of the Liu Clan. He should be a member of the Liu Clan who has been hidden since childhood, and we cannot rule out the possibility that he is an heir."

"In a crisis, you can use this information, in the name of a Big Business Alliance member, to trade for sanctuary from the Si Clan. The Si and Liu Clans are not as close as they appear on the surface."

Lin Qi clenched his fists.

Lin Qi never imagined that one day his own name would be brazenly brought up in a Highest Level security meeting.

’Someone’s trying to get me killed! Or rather, someone’s trying to use me as a human shield.’

’Who?’

A smiling young man’s face appeared in Lin Qi’s mind.

’Si Ying!’

’No wonder Si Ying sounded so certain when he left. No wonder I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary all day.’

’So this is the trap he laid.’

’Did he use a secret channel to spread fake intel to the Big Business Alliance?’

’No, it can’t be just the Big Business Alliance.’

’The Assassin Alliance, the Holy Relic Legion...’

’If Capitalist could get this news, then the information channels of these other factions already in Greenfield City are definitely just as good, if not better.’

Silence. Lin Qi could only remain silent.

’I can’t deny this intel during the meeting.’

"Thank you."

Together with King Arthur, he thanked Capitalist.

After Guang Ling asked again, no one else spoke.

The meeting ended. As all the members logged off one by one, Lin Qi clearly saw Guang Ling give him a slight nod.

’Guang Ling obviously knows who I am.’

Lin Qi said no more and exited the meeting.

In the bathroom, Lin Qi looked at his own face in the mirror, a strange emotion stirring in his heart.

There was some anger, and a hint of killing intent.

’If I get the chance, I can’t let Si Ying live!’

He activated his Spiritual Vision, remaining vigilant at all times.

After another moment of thought, Lin Qi left his room and went to the door of the bodyguard next door—the one with the full-body A-Class Prosthetic Implantation.

He rang the doorbell.

Silence.

No response.

But Lin Qi could clearly see that the bodyguard was just on the other side of the door.

"Open up. Your tracking skills are pretty bad, you know. I spotted you ages ago. Liu Xuan sent you to protect me, didn’t she?"

Finally, the door slowly opened, revealing the bodyguard’s awkward expression.

’Bad tracking skills?’

The bodyguard admitted that he hadn’t been fully focused on the mission to protect Lin Qi, and some of his disguises hadn’t been as thorough as they could have been.

’But they couldn’t have been so bad that Lin Qi noticed, right?’

Reality was staring him in the face. All the bodyguard had left was embarrassment.

"The Young Miss gave the order." The bodyguard admitted, following Lin Qi’s lead without revealing too much.

Lin Qi stated his purpose directly. "I don’t think my room is very safe. Let’s switch."

’Huh?’

The bodyguard was stunned.

’This is the first time a protected target has ever made a request like this.’

"That madman from the Si Clan today gave me a very uneasy feeling. I’m afraid of dying." Lin Qi’s reason was very direct.

The bodyguard was silent for a long time before agreeing to Lin Qi’s request.

’Fine, let’s switch. What’s the harm?’

The bodyguard was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, thinking only that Lin Qi was being overly sensitive.
