This sculpture was a supreme treasure.
But even with a thousand reasons, Long Lin still could not forgive him for ruthlessly abandoning his biological parents.
That period of time on the street was deeply engraved in his memory.
Long Lin really didn't know how cruel his parents were to be able to watch these two five-year-old children wander around the streets calmly.
There were no ifs in life, and Long Lin did not hope to repeat that again.
All his past experiences were already a fait accompli.
It could not be tampered with, nor could it be erased.
After a long while, Long Lin finally finished tying the sculpture back to his ankle.
The slip of paper with the name on it had long since disappeared. This statue was the only proof that he had that he wanted to find his past.
Long Lin wanted to find those heartless parents of his, but he didn't do it for the sake of recognition. He just wanted to ask them this question, how could they be so heartless?
… ….
Long Lin's plan to clear out the enemies was something the falcon had agreed to.
The only thing that made Long Lin feel troubled was that even now, Xi Wanting still did not know what the Wind Hunting Plan was.
Old Master Xi knew of this plan, but he had already fallen into a coma.
Xi Family would definitely have an internal battle.
Xi Wanting was the only descendant of the Xi Clan that had the ability to let the Xi Family continue standing. She was also the chosen successor to the Old Master Xi.
Xi Family had four sons and a daughter.
The eldest was Xi Zhendong, the second was Xi Zhennan, the third was Xi Zhenxi, the fourth was Xi Zhenbei, and there was also his daughter, Xi Qinglan.
The eldest had two sons, the eldest one was Xi Yuqi, and the second was Xi Yuqiong.
Second brother died young, leaving behind a single child, Xi Yuhua. He was the eldest grandson of the Xi Family and his illegitimate daughter, Xi WanRou.
Ol 'Three had a son and a daughter, while her sister Xi Wan and little brother Xi Yuming;
Number four also had a son and two daughters, their eldest brother, Xi Wanfeng, and their second son, Xi Yucheng, as well as their youngest daughter, Xi Wansu.
Other than the Second Brother who was already dead, Xi Family only had three sons, five grandsons and four granddaughters left.
Not to mention that the four daughter-in-law were all children of large families, and they weren't easy to deal with.
And Xi Yuqi's wife, the only grandson of the Xi Family, also wasn't a good person.
A struggle between Xi Family s would definitely become a fierce struggle between tigers and dragons.
Helping Xi Wanting to gain control of the Xi Family was the first step in the Wind Catching Plan. If it was given to others, U337's research would most likely end in failure.
The Wind Catching Plan was a top secret mission given by the China's military.
Once they failed, the Umbra would fall into a situation of extreme passivity. It was very likely that the politicians would find an opportunity to replace the person in charge of the Umbra, using the Umbra as their means to obtain political capital.
Politicians didn't care about the life or death of dark iron men. They only cared about benefits.
This sort of loss was something Shadow couldn't afford.
After clearing his mind, Long Lin walked back to his office with large strides and continued to translate the German Contract.
"Come to my office."
Seeing Xi Wanting's short message, Long Lin stopped his translation and knocked on the wooden door.
"You're in charge of good employees." Xi Wanting looked at Long Lin and asked expressionlessly.
Long Lin laughed bitterly and asked, "How do you want to deal with this?"
"You are the department head, what do you think we should do?"
"I wanted to discuss this with you." Long Lin said seriously, "I was the one who arranged for Ji Jianjian to do this."
Xi Wanting looked at Long Lin and said, "I know that you soldiers are very protective of yourselves, if you want to take responsibility for yourself, I can't say anything. Just tell me, how do you plan on taking care of this matter."
"I only want to ask you one question." Long Lin looked at Xi Wanting, his gaze aggressive, sharp like a blade, "Do you want to fully control tripod technology?"
"Yes." Xi Wanting said without thinking.
"Then that's good." Long Lin said confidently, "I want to set up a personnel change storm in the cauldron industry, and find out who has thoughts about you, and what you know, and what you don't."
"And then?"
"One by one."
"Do you know how many forces are competing with each other in Ding Fang Technology?"
"I don't know, but that's not important."
Xi Wanting looked at Long Lin with a grim face, "Then what is important?"
"Do your best to support me."
"That shouldn't be your intention, right?"
"It really wasn't my intention." Long Lin said seriously, "This is Elder Chang Gui's decision."
"Elder Chang Gui said that you are the successor appointed by Old Master Xi, but Old Master Xi no longer has the chance to support you. He decided to fulfill Old Master Xi's wish and help you control Xi Family."
"As for me, my mission is to help you stabilize the crucible industry and technology. Once I have completed this task, I will repay old man Chang Gui for his help, and I can leave now."
"Are you sure?"
"At least seventy percent."
Xi Wanting's expression was still calm, but the sharp glint that flashed past her eyes showed what she was thinking.
After a moment of silence, Xi Wanting asked again, "Then what about this matter, how do we deal with it?"
"Whose is the Secretary Zhang?"
"It's my big brother, Xi Yuhua's man."
So that's how it was.
After being slapped four times by Long Lin in front of everyone, as long as there was a chance, he would definitely spare no effort to deal with Long Lin.
However, his methods were too clumsy.
Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the Secretary Zhang.
Xi Yuhua did not tell Secretary Zhang about Long Lin saving Xi Wanting and their relationship was not ordinary, because once he did, Secretary Zhang would not have the guts to do so.
It was a coincidence that the Secretary Zhang performed such a clumsy performance.
"Then let's start with him." Long Lin said coldly.
Xi Wanting frowned and said, "The result of the operation is that my big brother Xi Yuhua will personally come to Cauldron Industry Technology to look for trouble."
"What should come, cannot be avoided." Long Lin said expressionlessly, "As long as the Old Master Xi is gone, he would definitely rush over. Rather than that, it would be better to let Xi Yuhua jump out first and press him to death one less person."
"Long Lin." Xi Wanting looked at Long Lin in silence for a moment, then pleaded, "I know you hate Xi Family, but I still want to ask of you."
"Go ahead."
"Please save my grandpa. As long as my grandpa is safe, I will agree to any conditions."
Long Lin frowned.
He had already promised the Falcon that he would go see if he could save Old Master Xi.
Although it was the same use for Xi Wanting to let him go, Long Lin did not want this woman to feel that she owed him, nor did he want her to risk her life to repay him.
He and she were only working together.
Long Lin did not want to get involved with anyone in the Xi Family, and even more so, did not want to have any relationship with other members of the clan.
Unless he could prove it, the people of Xi Family would not even know about Wan Rou's death.
However, it was clear that this premise was no longer valid.
"I have already promised old man Chang Gui that I will make a trip to your Xi Family." Long Lin said again, expressionless.
"Thank you."
"You don't have to thank me. This has nothing to do with you." Long Lin stood up and walked away.
Xi Wanting stared at the skinny back of the figure in a daze.
