RBCT Chapter 53 Usurpation
Chapter 53 Usurpation
Seeing the two about to leave, Xia Ying hurriedly grabbed Lin Zheng's clothes: "Brother Lin! Can you take me with you?"
Lin Zheng turned around and instructed, "It's no use for you to come along, and it might even be dangerous. Staying here is safer than anywhere else, Xia Ying. Don't worry, I promise I'll bring your brother home safely before dark. I mean what I say."
After saying that, Lin Zheng and Shen hope left, and Xia Ying stood at the door watching their anxious figures.
She pursed her red lips, praying that nothing would go wrong.
After going downstairs, Shen hope originally wanted to ride the motorcycle, but Lin Zheng grabbed the helmet this time: "I'll ride, you hold me from behind."
"what?"
"Huh? We might have to find a lot of places later. It'll be more convenient if I ride by myself. Get on the bike."
Shen hope noticed that Lin Zheng's expression seemed different from when he arrived, clearly indicating that he was somewhat angry because of the phone call earlier, so she didn't say anything more.
She sat behind him and hugged Lin Zheng's waist.
However, Shen hope didn't seem as open-minded as Lin Zheng. After all, she always went alone when carrying out missions and had never done anything like this before.
Lin Zheng started the motorcycle and said in confusion, "Hold on tighter. I know you're good at it, but if you hold on too loosely, you'll be thrown off if you ride fast."
Shen hope didn't say much, only replying, "I know, you can ride yours, I'm confident in my abilities."
Lin Zhengzhen didn't chatter away like he did when he arrived. After saying that, he twisted the handle hard and dashed out in a flash. He was so fast that Shen hope had to hug him tightly from behind.
Being held by him and holding him on your own initiative are completely different feelings.
Shen hope could clearly feel Lin Zheng's abdominal muscles at this moment. Her forehead was pressed against Lin Zheng's back, and because she was out of the wind, she could even smell his scent. A strange feeling resurfaced in her heart, a feeling she couldn't describe.
Suddenly, Lin Zheng spoke up: "Shen hope, did you hear what was said on the phone just now?"
Shen hope raised her head slightly, pretending not to know anything: "I vaguely heard a little bit, but it was very unclear and I couldn't understand it very well."
"Let me be honest with you. When I went to President Jiang's house before, didn't I mention that I'm now working with the group of kidnappers who kidnapped me?"
Shen hope responded.
Lin Zheng continued, "Actually, those kidnappers are not a simple small group. They are a large organization in Jiangcheng. Xia Ying is only a third or even fourth-level leader in the organization. My position is not much different from Xia Yi's."
Shen hope didn't understand why Lin Zheng would tell her this kind of thing:
"So? What are you trying to say, Young Master Lin? Are you telling me you've been doing some bad things lately?"
Lin Zheng has his own ideas:
"Let me finish. I didn't tell you about this at first because I didn't want to involve President Jiang and you. But now, especially since Xiao Shenxi is involved even if she didn't want to, I'll be frank with you. The reason I joined this organization is not only to do business, but more importantly, I want to change the regime of this organization, make them listen to me, and usurp the throne."
Shen hope's eyes widened: "What?!"
"Didn't you hear me? I said I'm going to make everyone in this organization obey me!"
Shen hope's eyes trembled; she couldn't believe her ears.
Lin Zheng continued, "The people in my organization aren't doing anything good, especially this time when the boss actually issued a purge order."
It means that our real leader recently wants to eliminate all organizations that don't belong to us. She's going to kill a lot of people, whatever her reasons, but doing this will definitely cause big problems and plant a time bomb for the future.
Lin Zhengde needed Shen hope to relay these words to Jiang Huaimeng verbatim. To stop the massacre from continuing, the only solution was to address the root cause:
"So I strongly disapprove of this boss's actions, not just in this matter, but also in many other ways, including the subordinates she chooses, and the indiscriminate killings she's committed in the past. So from now on, I might have to do things against my superiors' orders, but that will definitely lead to them targeting me."
"At that point, I don't think I'll have any other way to survive except by usurping the throne, especially since I've already planned to give this organization a thorough overhaul, including addressing some of the internal issues that I don't like."
Shen hope gripped his clothes tightly, watching Lin Zheng's figure as he rode his bicycle from behind.
What is he saying to himself...? Does he mean that his purpose in joining the organization is not just to make money, but to replace President Jiang?
If President Jiang knew about this, he would definitely...
Lin Zheng seemed to know what she was thinking and interjected, "Since I want to do this, I'm not afraid of our boss finding out. Besides, she'll definitely find out that I'm disobeying orders with my men."
The return of the massacre line is a lesson. Lin Zheng originally thought that as long as Jiang Huaimeng did nothing, he could start by reforming the organization step by step, starting with Xia Yi.
But now Lin Zheng understands that Jiang Huaimeng is also an unstable factor, especially since her decisions are not made with my consent. So Lin Zheng plans to change tactics and confront Jiang Huaimeng head-on!
Although this might anger that woman, it's something that must be done for the long term. Only in this way will she consider my thoughts before issuing any future orders.
I need to consider whether her decision conflicts with my actions, so that I don't end up with a unilateral order like this one, which caught me completely off guard.
Shen hope hesitated, then said, "You're telling me all this..."
Lin Zheng suddenly laughed and said, "It doesn't mean anything special, I just wanted to ask if Xiao Shenxi could help me usurp the throne?"
"Huh? I'll help you usurp the throne?"
"It's not really about helping; you don't need to do anything special. I just think our little Shen hope is incredibly skilled. Could you teach me a move or two in the future?"
Shen hope asked in confusion, "That's it? That's all?"
"Well, I don't want you to be in danger, after all. Just teach me some of your skills, and that will be enough."
Shen hope heard this and said worriedly:
"Young Master Lin, I think you should think this over more. You don't even know what kind of personality or identity this so-called boss has. If you go against her and anger her, you'll be outnumbered and won't have a good ending."
"The worst that can happen is death, right? Will Xiao Shenxi miss me after I die?"
"I'm serious!" she said anxiously. "How come you changed back to this so quickly after just a moment ago!"
Lin Zheng turned halfway back to Shen hope and said:
"I'm being very serious, and in my opinion, what I did was to save her. I told you before that what she did would eventually lead to trouble. If the organization wants to develop and last, killing indiscriminately won't work; that will only create more and more enemies."
Xia Yi's kidnapping today is a case in point. Although the people who kidnapped him were desperate criminals, most of them wouldn't seek death if given a way out. But pushing them to the brink only leads to a lose-lose situation, which benefits no one.
Shen hope understood what Lin Zheng meant.
But... I'm afraid that if President Jiang finds out about these things, you'll be in trouble...
