I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1134: Taking the Fall for Lu Zheng

"They all deserve to die."

Lu Zheng looked at the information of the person who accepted the order and then at the data Lin Wan provided him.

There were five people entering the country, all Southeast Asian Chinese, who you wouldn’t recognize if mixed into a crowd.

If it were ten or twenty years ago, they might have completed their mission and left safely, leaving behind an unsolved case.

But... times have changed!

Now is the era of big data, as long as you leave any real information online, you will be tagged by big data.

Moreover, these people themselves aren’t clean.

So, they took orders on the dark web, and the moment they entered the country, they were analyzed and located. Although they didn’t trigger customs alarms, the relevant information was already sent to the domestic departments.

Even if Lu Zheng didn’t act, they had no chance of success.

However...

Lu Zheng still decided to take action personally.

So, before noon, five people at a hotel in Hai City disappeared together.

Before dinner, the core leadership of the military group that took the mission all died.

That night, the Harry clan’s private estate was engulfed in flames. When the police inspected it the next day, they discovered that all the twenty-plus heirs of the Harry clan were inside, with not a single one escaping.

In just one day and night, a local armed force dominating part of Southeast Asia and a reputable business family from Lighthouse Country were erased from Blue Star.

However, Lu Zheng acted a bit hastily in this case. The incidents were too closely timed, so anyone paying a little attention could see the connection.

Thus...

Those above took the fall...

"Sitting at home, and the blame falls from the sky."

In the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room, several important figures were seated together again.

"The government of a certain Southeast Asian country expressed opinions through private channels to us, saying that although we were targeting their anti-government forces, the fact remains that actions took place on foreign soil. They suggested it would be appropriate to have sought their opinion or at least notified them in advance.

Now that the higher-ups of that armed group were wiped out overnight causing internal chaos, external forces have reacted, and the surroundings are chaotic, while official procedures with many steps failed to respond in time.

So, they hope that next time if we’re going to take action, we could at least let them know in advance. Even if concerned about internal leaks, notify them at the same time as our action.

Then those above were just confused..."

Everyone, "..."

"Additionally, the Lighthouse Country Business Association also expressed informal opinions through private channels, suggesting that our response was excessive.

They believed that even if the Harry clan ordered the assassination of Lei Zhiyun and the three others through the dark web, retaliating by assassinating successor John Harry would be enough, but wiping out the Harry family entirely was overkill.

Then those above were still confused..."

Everyone, "..."

"Of course, with us here, those above quickly figured out the cause and effect." The elder at the head sighed, a bit helplessly.

He guessed Lu Zheng’s reaction, but didn’t expect Lu Zheng to react so intensely, so quickly, without any cover.

"So, how did we respond?" someone asked curiously.

"How else could we respond?"

The elder squinted his eyes and said coolly, "We of course sternly denied their accusations, and told the Southeast Asian country to properly handle their domestic issues without affecting our interests. If needed, they could cooperate with us; we are willing to provide weapons, equipment, and military police training for a joint counter-terrorism effort."

"Assertive!"

"The other side hit a wall, but they were initially at fault and double-dealing, so they didn’t say anything further," the elder said coolly.

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "It’s the same with the Lighthouse Country. We told them that our country welcomes all business collaborations and competitions that abide by the law. Our enterprises always conduct themselves uprightly on the international stage and hope for orderly competition."

"Tsk tsk..."

The elder said, "Because this matter couldn’t be brought to the surface, they had to accept the loss. Although Lu Zheng overreacted, he was in the right. Even if they misunderstand us, they can only see this as a thunderous measure on our part, killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

After all...

The last time Lei Zhiyun and the three others were kidnapped, we actually did nothing afterwards."

Everyone, "..."

The elder said matter-of-factly, "These are natural phenomena and accidents that have nothing to do with us.

As a result, the Harry family, instead of reflecting on the bad luck caused by their evil deeds, concluded these accidents were the work of Lei Zhiyun and the others and attempted to assassinate them out of spite.

Can this be tolerated?

Even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles couldn’t bear it!

So our retaliation was understandably fierce; it was like settling two scores in one go.

If a tiger doesn’t show its might, do they really think we’re just a sick cat, only knowing how to protest without biting?

Moreover, they lack any evidence, so they can only complain discreetly to let us know.

After all...

It’s no longer the era where they could speak recklessly without evidence."

"The recent situation in Maple Country..."

"Ahem, it was just a clumsy political show." The elder cleared his throat, then forced a change of topic, "However, this time, those above indeed couldn’t react in the first instance, so they’ve asked us to think of a way to remind Lu Zheng, not to act so openly just because we know of their actions.

For example, the tornado and the California wildfires’ actions were quite discreet, and this time, we could have actually waited a bit longer..."

"But that would lose the deterrent effect..."

Said a middle-aged man beside him, "Sometimes, it’s important to let the other side have some guesses, so they can feel fear."

The elder sighed, "I know, and given this involved Lei Zhiyun, clearly Lu Zheng was also stirred with thunderous anger. We can’t let such an immortal character swallow his anger. Simply put, at this current stage, we can only cooperate with them."

"So what now?" someone asked, "Do we need to do anything?"

"So this matter ends here." The elder said coolly, "We have nothing to do."

"No need to tell Lu Zheng we cleaned up his mess once?"

"Of course not, saying so would be lowering ourselves." The elder shook his head, "But we can post this matter as gossip on the dark web."

"Tsk tsk, understood, you really are... ahem..."

And so, this matter concluded just like that.

As for the gossip on the dark web...

Lin Wan wouldn’t notice without reason, and Lu Zheng, after satisfying his curiosity once, never touched the computer again.

One could only say, overthinking often leads to disappointment...
