Chapter 282: Chapter 265: Not a Pushover
This moment turned Xia Qingqing's worldview upside down.
They were obviously in a car, yet now, it was flying.
A disbelief spread over Xia Qingqing's face.
"Brother, am I dreaming?" Xia Qingqing murmured, a mixture of thrill and bewilderment in her tone.
"No, you're not dreaming. This is one of the things I've been keeping from you…" Lin Yun answered with a faint smile.
"Alright, brother, I understand. You don't need to explain any further." Xia Qingqing obediently nodded in agreement.
Seeing the docility of Xia Qingqing, Lin Yun was tempted to reveal the mystery of the Cosmic Trading System. Still, after a moment of hesitation, he decided against it.
He knew many things from the Cosmic Trading System. Revealing it to Xia Qingqing wouldn't do her any good and might jeopardize the secrecy of the system.
After all, he wasn't sufficiently powerful yet.
This situation would give him a chance to gauge the strength of this world.
A glint flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.
Lu Family and Mie Family dared to harm him and brought significant damage to those around him. He wouldn't leave the country so easily and give others the impression that he was easy to take advantage of.
He wanted everyone to know, anyone who dared to lay a hand on him must be prepared to pay a hefty price.
Flying was an ancient dream of humanity, bringing a unique feeling to humans.
This flying car was extremely comfortable. Xia Qingqing was soon fascinated by the flight, and her oppressed emotions instantly lightened.
She was worried about her family's safety. Yet, when Lin Yun told her their family was in an even more advanced flying car, she was immediately relieved.
Finally, she knew how Lin Yun planned to get them out of the country.
With such flying cars, exiting the country was a relatively easy task.
...
While Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing flew above the ocean, Lang Jiuping and his group drove along a highway in Shen City.
"Boss, these cars perform so well, it's a shame to just abandon them," one of them grumbled.
"Yes, boss, sometimes these cars can be lifesavers. It's such a waste to just leave them behind," another agreed vigorously.
They had tested the vehicles, which easily reached a speed of 300km/hour with flexible control. Still, they didn't feel much of a change inside. These vehicles performed brilliantly.
They estimated that even the most luxurious cars on the market, worth tens of millions, wouldn't match up to these. How could they just dispose of these unable to bear?
Most men love cars, especially such excellent ones.
Ditching them like this would bring upon divine retribution.
Frankly, Lang Jiuping was torn as well.
They had driven these vehicles out of the Qingyun Hotel. Who knew if anyone had noticed and kept an eye on these vehicles? The sooner they abandoned these cars, the safer it would be for them.
If they were unwilling to part with these vehicles, they might lose their lives.
The choice between the vehicles and life was easy to make.
"We will get out of the cars shortly, and no one shall complain anymore!" Lang Jiuping bit his lip and decided.
"Mr. Lang, you are wise. These cars are good, but life is of utmost importance. Don't worry, once you procure high-grade spirit-items for me, I'll give you a car with better performance to compensate for the risks you took. You should know, each of these vehicles cost over a hundred million…" Lin Yun's resonating voice broke the silence in the vehicles.
"Mr. Lin? You can see our situation?" One of them exclaimed in shock as they heard the voice.
"Yes, I intended these vehicles for my bodyguards and they are equipped with surveillance…" Lin Yun explained.
Lang Jiuping and his men were rendered speechless.
Initially, they were reluctant to abandon these vehicles, but now, the reluctance faded.
Or maybe, given enough time, they could find the surveillance devices and remove them. However, time was of the essence, and they didn't have it.
Besides, who knew if Lin Yun had installed anything else in the vehicles, such as trackers?
They didn't have the time to check every component of these vehicles now.
However, something Lin Yun had said caught their attention.
"Mr. Lin, you still need high-grade spirit-items? You mean, if we get those for you, you'll give us a vehicle with better performance?" Lang Jiuping hastily asked.
As one of his men had mentioned earlier, vehicles like these could be lifesavers in critical moments.
The cars they were driving were already top-tier. A vehicle with even better performance…he could only imagine what it could be.
"I do need high-grade spirit-items. The more, the merrier. Even if Mr. Lang could procure ten or more, I can handle it. All you need to make sure is that you are okay dealing with someone who will likely have a bounty on his head soon…" Lin Yun replied, a faint smile on his lips.
Investing in Immortal Origin County was no longer feasible, which would save him a lot of funds that could be used elsewhere.
"Mr. Lin, you're worrying too much. We spirit seekers focus only on the transaction, not on the identity of the trader. Furthermore, we are aware of your situation and we know you're not at fault." Lang Jiuping smiled.
He had feared that due to the recent events, Lin Yun wouldn't need spirit-items anymore, resulting in a loss for them. Coming under Huaxia's bounty didn't interfere in their dealings.
They had dealt with international bounties before, not just Huaxia's.
Besides, Lin Yun saying he could accommodate ten or more high-grade spirit-items delighted him. It meant more business. He had decided that once they were safe, he would start gathering spirit-items for Lin Yun.
If they couldn't gather enough, and Lin Yun turned to other spirit seekers, their losses would be significant.
"Alright, Mr. Lang, once you have a high-grade spirit-item, you can contact this number. I will arrange for someone to pick it up," Lin Yun said.
After a few more words, the voice chat ended.
Then, Lin Yun contacted those bodyguards and security staff.
Some of them were also in similar vehicles and were reluctant to give them up just like Lang Jiuping's team. After Lin Yun persuaded them, he transferred several million to ten million Huaxia Currency to their accounts based on their actions at the Qingyun Hotel.
For those who died at the Qingyun Hotel, Lin Yun had the supercomputer investigate their personal details.
He had information about their family and friends, their colleagues, and their connections.
Now that they were gone, he decided to compensate their loved ones who were still alive.
