Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1303, 1291. An Accident? Not at all!

They dragged Fred to the bodyguard's side and threw him down.

Luo Yihang patted his chest "gently".

Fred woke up with a loud "Aww!"

He clutched his chest and rolled on the ground in agony.

Sigh, Luo Yihang is still not very skilled at awakening.

But it was indeed quite gentle; look at the guy next to him, his arms were dangling.

"Stop rolling, the ground is so dirty." Luo Yihang reached out and pressed him to the ground.

Fred was exceptionally obedient and indeed stopped rolling away.

"Let's have a chat," Luo Yihang said kindly, even patting the dirt off his clothes.

Why is this kid so ungrateful? He pats me and I shake, getting my clothes dirty again, and my crotch is all muddy. He's so careless.

"Alright, you know this guy over there, right? Tell me, how did you guys come up with this?"

Fred turned his head and was startled again.

The bodyguard looked terrible; his arms were awkwardly draped over his shoulders, his right wrist was swollen, and his arms were covered in blood.

His face and body were covered in blood.

It's obvious that he was tortured.

Fred had never seen anything like this before. Terrified, he frantically scurried away, muttering incoherently, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I didn't mean to kill you, it was him, he did it all by himself..."

Hey, that saves trouble.

"Oh, so you knew he wanted to kill me. I think you ordered him to do it. I have no grudge against him, so why would he want to kill me?"

Fred panicked even more and quickly explained, "No, I don't know him, he did it all."

"You don't recognize him? You're lying through your teeth, aren't you? He's your bodyguard," Luo Yihang sneered.

Fred then realized he had misspoke and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, he's not my bodyguard. I've only known him for two weeks."

"Whose bodyguard is he?"

"He is..." Fred hesitated for a moment, then Luo Yihang picked up a knife.

It's the one the bodyguard hid in his lower back.

Upon seeing the knife, Fred immediately told the truth, "It belongs to my brother, Antoine. Yes, Antoine's bodyguard. He gave it to me two weeks ago, knowing he was coming to meet you. Yes, yes, it was all Antoine's doing!"

They ended up agreeing with what the bodyguard was saying.

That's how he betrayed his older brother; the two brothers had a really good relationship.

"You really didn't intend to kill me?" Luo Yihang asked again.

Fred nodded quickly, "No, I absolutely didn't mean to kill you, I swear."

Then, without letting Luo Yihang ask any more questions, she told him everything.

“Antoine only told me to build a good relationship with you, gain your trust, and sabotage your negotiations with LVMH. No, I meant to sabotage Delphine and prevent her from making a deal.”

Luo Yihang glanced at the bodyguard beside him and thought, "Wow, these two have different tasks."

Delphine? Arnault's eldest daughter, why are we talking about her?
“Tell me in detail, starting from the beginning.”

Fred swallowed hard, struggling to find the right words. "Our father, Bernard Arnault, is getting old, and the LVMH Group needs a new leader. The successor is either Antoine or Delphine."

"The eldest sister is too domineering, while Antoine is much gentler. We all like... no, we've all been deceived by Antoine."

“Antoine didn’t come to see you this time; it was my eldest sister who accompanied Father.”

"Alexander was a loner; he liked no one but himself."

“Antoine gave me his bodyguards…” Fred said, glancing to the side, “and told me to report my progress to him every day.”

“But after Father told us about the alliance on the first day, I told Antoine, and Antoine then arranged for me to gain your trust so that my eldest sister wouldn’t make the deal; he wanted to do it himself.”

Wait, this is a bit confusing.

How did the issue of succession grabbing get brought up again?

Antoine has his eye on the future of the Sunset Alliance and wants to steal the credit, right?

"So you're planning to ride a horse and climb a mountain, intending to kill me while you're climbing?" Luo Yihang continued to ask.

Fred was so panicked that tears streamed down his face, and he even cried.

“No, no!” Fred waved his hand, then suddenly pointed to the side. “It was him, he said it. He said you like horseback riding, mountain climbing, cross-country running, and outdoor sports, and he encouraged me to go mountain climbing with you. He said it’s easy to build feelings during sports, and it’s convenient to talk about things when no one is around. When we’re camping, we can have a drink by the fire and talk about anything. I even brought two bottles of brandy with me…”

I understand now, you silly kid who was being used.

Luo Yihang kicked the bodyguard next to him. "Hey, didn't you say you'd find a chance to get rid of me? What, can't wait? Creating your own opportunity?"

The bodyguard gritted his teeth and answered defiantly, "Five million dollars is enough for me to buy a farm and retire comfortably."

It's understandable; money is a powerful motivator. He was quite content; five million dollars was enough for him.

That's true, who wants to live a life of constant danger?

Knowing when to retire gracefully is a sign of wisdom.

"But the problem is, even if you kill me, you can't escape. You have a child outside? You really trust Red Wolf so much that he won't betray you?"

The bodyguard didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "Am I going to die?"

Luo Yihang shook his head. "I'm not a bad person, I don't kill people randomly. You'll probably go to jail, murder, espionage, it won't be short."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

He turned to Fred and sneered, "My plan is to throw him down too, and kill them both. You're here to climb mountains, so it's normal that we can't contact you for a while. Someone will come looking for you in two or three days. This place is very secluded, so it will take two or three days to find your bodies."

"Your identity is very important. The arrest warrant will be issued very quickly. I don't know exactly how quickly, but I estimate it will take one to three days."

"So I will have at least five days and at most nine days."

"Enough for me to disguise myself and climb over the border."

"This is the southwest, so I'll head north. I'm all alone, so my chances of escaping are much greater."

"And with Fred dead, your negotiations will inevitably fall apart. Red Wolf will be very happy and might even give me an extra sum of money."

Upon hearing that he was also going to die, Fred became extremely angry, rushed over, and started cursing and punching the bodyguard.

The bodyguard couldn't move his arm and could only twist his body to dodge, howling in pain.

Fred was ruthless; he aimed specifically at the dislocated shoulder.

These two are really making a scene.

Luo Yihang reached out and picked Fred up, placing him aside.

Looking at the bodyguard, he asked, "You trust Red Wolf that much?"

The bodyguard shook his head. "Some people in the industry know I work for Red Wolf. My friend has records of my interactions with Red Wolf and the tasks I perform. If I don't practice for a month, he'll distribute the materials."

"The people behind Red Wolf must be very rich. They need people to do the dirty work, so they probably won't kill me."

"I hope so." The bodyguard gave a wry smile and said nothing more.

Wow, he's quite well-prepared; that's how it's portrayed in many movies.

However, having a backup was a pleasant surprise.

Luo Yihang didn't intend to ask any more questions.

Let's leave it to the professionals...
-

Luo Yihang took out his phone and made a call to Lao Jiang.

"Want me to give you credit? I guarantee it'll be a huge one... Two spies, one of them is a murderer... Murder me... Wait, wait, don't worry, I'm fine... Contact them over there, bring people over, bring a doctor, one of them is seriously injured... Also, bring a pair of pants..." Since the successful research on Jiao Qiqi and Super Malan Grass, Luo Yihang's security level has been raised, and it is now handled by a special department.

Because of his good relationship with Luo Yihang, Lao Jiang was assigned to be the police's liaison.

He's really lucky; in just a few months, he's about to make a significant contribution.

Luo Yihang sent the coordinates to Lao Jiang.

Less than an hour later, a helicopter flew in and landed in an open space.

Before the propellers had even completely stopped, a group of people rushed down.

There were people carrying stretchers, carrying medical kits, holding guns, and Old Chiang running wildly at the front.

Old Jiang rushed to Luo Yihang's side.

After carefully examining him from head to toe, they found that Luo Yihang had no wounds and not even a speck of dirt on him.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he raised his hand and punched Luo Yihang, yelling, "Why do you always get into these kinds of trouble? Don't you know how to be careful?"

Luo Yihang waved his hand and slapped him away, saying, "How am I supposed to be careful? Get those two away from here right now."

"Let's get this done." Old Jiang turned around... He didn't need any help.

The bodyguard and Fred had already been carried away, leaving only the armed soldiers standing warily two steps away.

"Let's go, let's go too."

The entire process took less than five minutes before the helicopter took off again.

I didn't have time to change my pants...
-

The attack on Luo Yihang has caused quite a stir.

Uncle Li hurriedly took a private plane to come and preside over the event.

Personnel from various departments were urgently dispatched to Tianhan.

The think tanks in the capital are on call 24 hours a day.

A car took Bernard Arnault and Delphine to an unmarked sanatorium on the outskirts of Tianhan City...

Here, they first saw the statements made after the interrogation.

I saw Fred again, who was being held in custody.

The boy saw his father crying so miserably, with snot and tears streaming down his face, explaining and cursing his older brother Antoine at the same time.

After hearing this, old Arnault turned pale and collapsed. What a misfortune for the family! Two of his sons had been lost.

Delphine also became distraught. She thought she had a good relationship with her brothers, but she never expected Antoine to be so hostile towards her. They were brothers from the same mother.

"I want to see Mr. Luo Yihang. I know who's behind Red Wolf." Old Arnault mustered his strength, determined to save his son.

Subsequently.

He met Luo Yihang and Uncle Li in a meeting room.

Arno didn't ask who Uncle Li was, and went straight to the point: "Last year, someone contacted me through special means..."

Then, Arnault recounted how he used the "economist" to lure Bianchi, how Bianchi took the bait, how he used fake phone calls and fake voices to negotiate terms, and how they reached a cooperation agreement and mutually benefited each other.

Luo Yihang was extremely embarrassed, as it was he who had done it.

Steal a glance at Uncle Li.

He was a seasoned veteran, and he didn't show any sign of it on his face; he listened quite attentively.

"Their goal is your technology, Breeding 4.0. I suspect there's a mole within your organization who has access to the perfume formula. As for their identities, I suspect ADM, Bunge, and Cargill. Louis Dreyfus shouldn't be involved; I've probed them at several gatherings, and they seemed unaware. Perhaps I'm not qualified to know their secrets," Arnaud concluded with a wry smile.

ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus—the four most famous grain merchants.

It firmly controls 80% of the world's food trade.

On the one hand, they are conquering territory everywhere, acquiring, integrating, and reorganizing, entering and controlling various food categories in a nibbling and swallowing manner; on the other hand, they are competing with each other, not only in their own countries, but also expanding their commercial battlefield to all parts of the world.

In 2003, a soybean crisis was orchestrated, leading to a change of control over China's soybean industry chain.

In 2006, it launched a grain war in an attempt to disrupt China's staple grain market, but was defeated and suffered heavy losses by China Grain Reserves Corporation.

They're all "old friends".

Are they really behind Red Wolf?
Uncle Li looked up at Arno and said calmly, "We've caught our mole. He used a scheme to open up the European market through you. According to the mole, he's not the grain merchant you mentioned. But he doesn't know who's really behind it all."

Will Antoine find out?

Luo Yihang secretly gave a thumbs up. The old man was really clever; he came up with a really good excuse.

Arno didn't think much of it and casually replied, "I see. I didn't lose badly."

His mind was entirely focused on his son.

"Antoine! Antoine!" he repeated the name several times.

Arnaud stared intently at Uncle Li. "Will Antoine lose his freedom?"

Uncle Li immediately shook his head, "He didn't commit any crimes in the country, so we won't detain him. You can handle your own family matters."

The subtext is that Fred's case is less certain; he committed a crime domestically, or at least was an accomplice.

Arnaud nodded. "I trust you. I'll have Antoine come to replace Delphine."

He was referring to succession, meaning the eldest son had arrived and the eldest daughter had gone back.

Even if something unexpected happens... at least one person can stay outside.

Uncle Li sensed his little scheme and readily agreed.
-

Delphine and Jacques took off from Tianhan Airport on a private plane.

Antoine set off from Paris in high spirits.

He dreamed of leading the negotiations, making great contributions, and even dominating the alliance in the future, thus seizing the right of succession.

As soon as I arrived at Tianhan Airport, I was put on a roster.

Then I saw my father's disappointed face.

Fred's angry rebuke.

And bodyguards bound like mummies...

His mental resilience isn't very good either.

He learned that the bodyguards he had sent were plotting to murder Luo Yihang and his brother.

I've realized that I was just a fool who was being used from beginning to end.

There's definitely no chance of him inheriting the rights; decades of anticipation have been dashed.

In a fit of rage, he blurted out everything.

"They are Limagrain, Bayer, Corteva, DuPont Pioneer, Cargill..."

Wait, there are a few new names.

Bayer and Corteva are two of the world's top five seed companies, and also the two with the strongest technology.

Limagrain, a leading French seed company, is a major shareholder of Yuanlong High-Tech.

DuPont Pioneer, one of the predecessors of Corteva, both belong to DuPont and are leading global agricultural biotechnology companies.

These are all giants in the seed industry.

Reasonable, very reasonable.

They are the ones who "should" regard Qingyin Agriculture and Luo Yihang as thorns in their side and completely destroy them to vent their anger!
