Chapter 613: Chapter 613: A Man’s Sixth Sense

"Mr. Zhao, you’ve come."

Sitting on the hospital bed, Su Delong put down the document he was holding.

Seeing Zhao Jiaqi and Lin Fan entering through the door, he greeted them with a look of gratitude.

"It seems your popularity isn’t that great; there’s not even one person here to visit you."

Lin Fan placed a fruit basket on the ground, and although the ward was a private room, it lacked any consolation gifts.

Clearly, his team members weren’t inclined to suck up to him.

They were even too lazy to make a token gesture.

"As the so-called deputy leader, my work involves thankless tasks. I’m just taking up a job because these spoiled brats are too lazy to work. Here I am, a commoner with no background or connections, doing all the tough work. It sounds nice to call me a leader, but harshly put, I’m just a middleman relaying orders. Most of the time, I’m just a scapegoat."

Su Delong, with both legs dangling from the bed, wore a bitter smile.

He was quite accurate about his own position.

"You shouldn’t say that. It must be that the leaders see your strengths and deliberately want to nurture you," Zhao Jiaqi, as the leader, naturally had to say some courteous words.

"Exactly."

Su Delong did not argue, but the smile on his face showed that he did not agree.

"Please, I might believe it if someone else said it, but coming from you, I really don’t buy it," Lin Fan said unceremoniously as he sat down on a chair. "Just because a mere nobody like you became a leader, I knew there had to be more to it. It’s funny how you sit in the leader’s chair with no team members."

"Hey, that proves I have the ability to command, you better shut up," Zhao Jiaqi naturally wouldn’t admit that her position as a leader was indeed due to her family background.

Even if it was clear as day, she would never admit it.

"Alright, alright, my dear leader, you should be glad that I’m just an outsider. Otherwise, with your team, I guarantee they’d all be lying here within minutes."

Lin Fan curled his lips, being the leader of Wolf Fang he really despised these nepotism hires.

After all, those who fought on the front lines, their promotions and dismissals depended on real merit.

Surviving through the hail of bullets was the only real criterion.

"Psh, with your listless appearance, I wouldn’t take you if you were a gift," Zhao Jiaqi was used to bickering with Lin Fan and didn’t mind losing face.

Just now, he had even forcefully kissed her in public, and she was powerless to prevent it.

"Since you’re sick, you should focus on recovering. This is the Bone Healing Ointment I’ve mixed for you. It’s guaranteed to work better than these medical treatments. You don’t even need to apply it directly, just put it inside the cast to let the medicated scent diffuse. I promise you can walk normally in two months."

Lin Fan handed the prepared Bone Healing Ointment to Su Delong.

He then glanced at the stack of files next to him.

"This is a work-related injury, so stop working yourself to the bone. Leave these things to others. Focus on your recovery so that you can work better later."

"My legs can’t move, but my hands are fine. Besides, lying here is boring, so it’s a good time to finish all the incomplete work. It’s just the right time for Mr. Zhao’s return so I can hand things off," Su Delong said with a smile as he picked up a folder and handed it to Zhao Jiaqi.

"This is the route map that upper management asked us to prepare a few days ago. Although I don’t know what it’s for, I’ve marked it all. There are sixteen routes, including changes to five main roads. There are eight separate routes, each listed with its pros and cons. As for which one to choose, I’ll leave that to Mr. Zhao as I’m immobile and cannot go on fieldwork. It’ll have to trouble you to survey them."

"Okay, you’ve worked hard."

Zhao Jiaqi took the files, looking at the detailed records and satellite map tags inside.

It must be said, Su Delong indeed was a capable person.

Moreover, from high school onwards, he had almost always excelled academically.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have joined Longya, and he also managed to reach the position of the deputy leader without any power or influence.

As for capability, it is definitely something he can proudly show off.

"There’s nothing tough about it, it’s all things I should be doing, but the decision still lies with you. I’m just providing some assistance, speaking of which, I have to thank you for coming to see me, it warms my heart a little."

There was a touch of melancholy in Su Delong’s words.

This might also be a common sentiment shared by those who struggle alone.

"Don’t worry, just focus on recovering. I’ll come and see you whenever I’m free."

Lin Fan had a very good impression of Su Delong.

Ever since the first meeting, he had always been naturally humble and just.

If there were more people like him, why worry about the nation not being wealthy and strong?

"Yes, just focus on getting better. Leave the rest to me."

Zhao Jiaqi said a few words and then left the hospital room with Lin Fan, carrying the files.

As they returned to the ground floor, she had already called for a car.

"Just accompany me to survey the roads today. We need to get a general idea of these routes because the item we’re transporting this time is very important, we can’t afford any mistakes. Only by scouting the location can we be sure."

Zhao Jiaqi started the car, and the Jeep immediately left the hospital.

Lin Fan, sitting in the passenger seat, was holding a folder, looking at the thick maps inside, all of which were potential route options that might be needed.

"If I’m not mistaken, is this map used for transporting the Wind Stabilizing Pearl?"

"I wouldn’t know that, I’m just following orders after all. The Jiazi project is too large, and after tomorrow, the three emperors of Longya will arrive in Jiangning. They will identify the best plan then."

Zhao Jiaqi shook her head; aside from the four words ’transporting materials’, she knew nothing else.

Such was the strict method of Longya, everything significant was segmented.

Each group handled different tasks, making it very difficult for information to be leaked.

"Regardless, you need to select a contrarian route and stay in the office, giving Xu Shiyong a chance to steal. After the transfer, I will lead the convoy for protection. I want to see what underhanded tricks these folks will pull."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes; the trap was all set up, and it was time to let Xu Shiyong, the bait, obtain more.

This way, not only the safety of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl was ensured, but he could also eliminate more of the opposition.

After all, such a grand era had attracted many Onmyoji.

Li Qiqi’s most needed ’lame tiger’ still had no clues to date.

So, this was a matter that would kill two birds with one stone.

"Understood, I will find a route that seems most likely, but is entirely different. I also want to see where these giant rats are planning to strike."

The Jiazi Project was about to begin.

But their fishing plan was already underway.

As soon as the Wind Stabilizing Pearl arrives, the mole can be rooted out, and they can fully respond to this calamity.

"By the way, my grandfather wants to invite you to dinner tomorrow night. Are you free to come?"

Suddenly remembering this, Zhao Jiaqi instinctively looked at Lin Fan.

Her grandfather had made it clear; he wanted Lin Fan to host him.

"As a son-in-law? Should we get the marital matters sorted first then!"

Unexpectedly, the three emperors coming to Beijing turned out to be Zhao Jiaqi’s grandfather.

This made Lin Fan curious about how strong the greatest strength of Longya really was.
