Seeing Executive Officer Lin's terrified look, Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyebrows and spoke in a cold voice.
"Is it strange to know these things? Executive Lin, there are some things that you can't hide from others once you do them."
When he sent people to investigate Executive Officer Lin's record of corruption over the years, he just happened to find that person.
But it's not surprising. Nowadays, many generations of nobles like to keep a few substitutes who look similar to themselves.
If you are unfortunately caught for something in the future, you can just use a substitute to escape!
When Executive Officer Lin heard Jiang Xuecheng's words, his face instantly turned as pale as snow!
He staggered back a step, feeling more and more that it was a big mistake for him to conspire with Fiennes to murder Jiang Xuecheng!
Now it’s all over! All the escape routes are blocked, and even the only trump card that I’m so proud of has been revealed!
Jiang Xuecheng's expression was cold, and he was completely indifferent to Executive Officer Lin's frightened look.
"Executive Lin, how is the training of your double going? You and Fiennes are just talking via video, and the connection time is not long. Is this difficult for your double?"
How could it not be difficult!
Even if he himself went into battle, he felt suffocated facing Fiennes' oppressive gaze, let alone his stand-in who was of commoner origin!
Executive Officer Lin immediately shook his head at Jiang Xuecheng, with a look of resigned self-mockery on his face.
"Your Highness, you overestimate my ability to train people. My stand-in has no problem imitating my normal speaking tone and demeanor, but he gets stage fright when it comes to big occasions, so I haven't used him in all these years."
Jiang Xuecheng nodded when he heard that. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Su Wan, looking thoughtful.
Executive Officer Lin saw that Jiang Xuecheng didn't say anything for a while and was a little unsure of what the other party meant.
But seeing that Jiang Xuecheng was so determined to take him away from the Aquamarine Star, Executive Officer Lin knew that this matter would not end well!
And once his stand-in makes a mistake, Fiennes will directly know that he has defected to Jiang Xuecheng's camp, and then it won't just be Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan who will be hunted down!
By then, he would be caught in a dilemma and would die without a burial place!
The more Executive Lin thought about it, the more terrified he felt. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his hands, and he could only wait anxiously for Jiang Xuecheng's answer.
Jiang Xuecheng had already shifted his gaze away from Su Wan and returned it to Executive Officer Lin's face.
"Executive Officer Lin, it's just a conversation over the air, it's not a big deal."
"But-"
Executive Officer Lin raised his head anxiously, trying to persuade Jiang Xuecheng, but Jiang Xuecheng raised his hand and interrupted him first.
"How long will it be before you and Fiennes are in touch?"
When Executive Officer Lin saw Jiang Xuecheng like this, he suddenly realized that the other party was determined to take him away.
Executive Officer Lin gritted his teeth and finally gave an answer.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be three days later."
Jiang Xuecheng nodded calmly.
"Then we can stay here for a few more days. On the day you talk to Fiennes, arrange for your double to watch via video and try to figure out what Fiennes is thinking."
It’s not as easy as Jiang Xuecheng said!
"Your Highness, I feel..."
Before Executive Officer Lin could finish his words, Jiang Xuecheng waved his hand, indicating that there was no room for negotiation on the matter.
Executive Officer Lin had a dejected look on his face. He knew that his life was now in the hands of the other party and it was useless to resist. In the end, he could only swallow all the unwilling words.
If you don't seek death, you won't die. He now understands this truth.
…
Three days later, Fiennes actually contacted Executive Officer Lin for a video call.
Executive Officer Lin arranged a secret compartment in the room, and Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng, and Executive Officer Lin's stand-in stood behind the compartment to observe.
I have to say, when Su Wan first saw Executive Officer Lin’s stand-in, she was really scared!
The stand-in is wearing the exact same outfit as Executive Officer Lin, and looks really similar to Executive Officer Lin!
Some of it should be the effect of makeup.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the stand-in's eyes and eyebrows look a bit timid, and he does not have the aura of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
Even if they look similar, people's temperaments are still very different!
Su Wan thought this was a big drawback, but Jiang Xuecheng smiled and pointed at Executive Officer Lin who was being lectured by Fiennes.
"Look at Executive Officer Lin. When he met Fiennes, didn't he act like a mouse meeting a cat? As long as the double pretends to be more realistic, the two of them are not face to face, and the conversation time is not long, it will not be easy for Fiennes to see through the clues."
Su Wan was speechless after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Jiang Xuecheng said made sense.
After the call, Executive Officer Lin came out sweating profusely.
He felt that his life was so miserable, on the one hand because of the pressure from Fiennes, and on the other hand because there was a devil who he couldn't afford to offend watching him from behind!
Jiang Xuecheng took out the video he had just recorded and played it, and pointed out several key points that the stand-in needed to remember.
At the same time, the stand-in was also asked to carefully study Executive Officer Lin's daily movements and habits.
"If you really can't continue talking to Fiennes, just bow your head and apologize tremblingly."
Su Wan felt a headache after hearing this, and felt that disguising as another person was really not an easy task.
Executive Officer Lin felt even more uneasy after hearing this. What he feared most was that his stand-in would be exposed by Fiennes.
This is not a fun thing!
Just as a few people were chatting, the communicator in the room suddenly rang.
Fiennes rarely contacts Executive Officer Lin midway after finishing a conversation!
The four people behind the secret compartment looked at each other in bewilderment. Executive Officer Lin was even more troubled. He was about to go back by himself, but Jiang Xuecheng stopped him.
Executive Officer Lin turned around in confusion.
Jiang Xuecheng looked calm, and pointed nonchalantly at the stand-in who looked exactly like Executive Lin.
"Let him go."
ah?!
Jiang Xuecheng has only been giving instructions for a short while, and he's already asking his substitute to take the field
Executive Officer Lin was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. However, Jiang Xuecheng threatened him with the virus and he had no choice but to agree with a bitter face!
Surprisingly, the performance of the stand-in was barely satisfactory. At least Fiennes did not jump out and say that the stand-in was fake!
Executive Officer Lin heaved a sigh of relief, and finally gained some confidence in leaving Planet Aquamarine.
…
After training the stand-in for two more days, Jiang Xuecheng took Su Wan and Executive Officer Lin with him and left Planet Aquamarine.
The road ahead is uncertain, and no one knows what awaits them.
I just hope Fiennes isn’t so ruthless and lets the high priest live!
