Chapter 423: An Astonishing Idea Meets an Astonishingly Filial Son

Li Xin walked out of the manor, and the manor immediately burst into a huge fire; it seems Cao Nan and his gang are quite skilled at arson!

As for that surnamed Hong good-for-nothing, Li Xin personally let him experience his craft; the constant wails were the highest praise for his skill.

However, Da Chun whispered to Xiao Hai: "The boss's technique is still too crude; he just strikes hard. If he targeted the leg pain nerves, the effect would be better!"

Xiao Hai ignored this lunatic; the boss was just venting—do you really want him to become a Mongolian doctor?

Li Xin returned to Jiang Tianyang's manor, where a banquet had already been prepared.

The banquet in T Country was quite interesting: each person had a small table in front, eating their own food, which somewhat resembled ancient Chinese dining customs.

Da Fan, the Crown Prince, Quanwang Tai, Jiang Tianyang, Li Xin, Cao Nan, and Da Quan Lang all raised their cups and drank them dry.

Jianguo and his group sat behind Li Xin, a few of them pushing the tables together, making the meal lively.

Xiao Hua sat with Li Xin at the same table, possibly still frightened, not speaking, just eating in small bites.

Li Xin rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Xiao Hua, just stay in Gangdao this time; Hong Kong University is also a good school—no need to go to Maple Leaf Country to study."

Xiao Hua nodded and whispered: "Uncle Xin, I called Mom and told her I want to live in Gangdao; she agreed."

"My brother has already graduated; his job in Maple Leaf Country isn't going smoothly, so it's a good chance to return to Gangdao and find a suitable job."

Li Xin asked: "What major is Xiao Jie studying?"

"Electronic Engineering."

Li Xin actually had some understanding of this matter because of the VCD incident.

The Electronic Engineering program in Maple Leaf Country enjoys worldwide fame, with high teaching standards and great distinctiveness, and its graduates are highly sought after by companies.

This major covers multiple research areas such as circuits and systems, communications, electromagnetic fields and microwave technology, and digital signal processing.

Consequently, Maple Leaf Country's Electronic Information Engineering program already enjoys a high reputation worldwide in this era.

Li Xin nodded and said to Xiao Hua: "Why look for a job? Just come to Hongxin Electronics; if Xiao Jie wants to pursue further studies, I'll cover all expenses—food, lodging, and fun."

Xiao Hua rarely laughed, then said helplessly: "Uncle Xin, my brother is looking for a job, not asking you to support him!"

"Hehe!"

Li Xin laughed and replied naturally: "No difference—this is our own industry; if Xiao Jie is capable, we'll give him the best platform."

"He calls me uncle; as his uncle, how could I mistreat my own nephew?"

……

After the banquet, Da Fan came and sat beside Li Xin, saying: "Mr. Li, I now want to call in this favor—what do you say?"

"No problem, just speak up."

Da Fan glanced around and whispered: "I want you to help me save someone in the Imperial Palace—can you do that?"

A flash of light crossed Li Xin's eyes, and a bold idea appeared in his mind.

Li Xin got up, took Da Fan to find an open area, then gave Jianguo a look; Jianguo nodded and brought people to surround the spot.

Putting an arm around Da Fan's shoulder, he said with a smile: "Da Fan, you said the king and prince had an accident—do you have a chance to inherit the king's position?"

Da Fan widened his eyes; Li Xin's idea was too crazy—he had only thought about killing the king.

But he had never thought of taking over the nest—how could that be possible?

"Impossible!"

These words blurted out from Da Fan, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

Li Xin laughed and said: "Why wouldn't it be possible? The prince likes to fly planes; if this plane malfunctioned, wouldn't that be quite normal?"

"Upon hearing the bad news, the king suddenly suffered a fatal cerebral hemorrhage—wouldn't that be reasonable?"

Da Fan still shook his head, explaining: "Then I'd have no chance to ascend the throne either—my background is ignoble, and the royal family wouldn't recognize it."

Li Xin patiently guided: "Da Fan, your background isn't a secret to the royal family, and T Country is prone to coups; if you could crush a coup after the king's death, thereby gaining some real power, wouldn't ascending the throne still be possible?"

"The king also amended the succession law, so you currently have no chance to take the throne—why not push your ambitious mother onto it? Think about it: wouldn't she be pleased? Wouldn't she look on you more favorably?"

"Then, as the Queen's son, wouldn't this identity be free of any problems? That would be killing several birds with one stone!"

"From start to finish, this would be an accident, and moreover an internal royal family matter—others would have no reason to interfere."

"Think it over: if you could help your mother ascend the throne, what would you want—would she refuse?"

Li Xin, that bastard, really is vicious—he always picks spots others can't refuse, and this spot is Da Fan's weak point.

In the original work, this kid dared to kill the king; from this you can see that, in Da Fan's eyes, the king and prince mean nothing.

Moreover, after killing him he could still escape T Country, claiming no one in the royal family supported him—he wouldn't believe it even if you beat Li Xin to death!

Just relying on his ambitious mother, he lacks the ability to pull this off.

Da Fan's expression kept shifting—sometimes gloomy, sometimes bright.

Finally, the image of his mother's back flashed in his mind; he gritted his teeth, nodded, and said: "Done—when a person dies, birds face the sky; if not dead, then forever."

"However, I have no subordinates who understand aircraft principles—how can this be resolved?"

Li Xin laughed and confidently replied: "You don't, but I do!"

……

After hearing the whole plan, Cao Nan showed not a trace of fear, his face flushed with an abnormal rosiness, as if he had just finished urinating.

Li Xin slapped him disdainfully and said irritably: "Are you sick? Can this also make you feel good?"

Upon hearing that, Cao Nan returned to normal, his eyes gleaming as he told Li Xin: "Boss, leave this to me—no need to find others; besides, this is too big, I wouldn't trust anyone else to handle it, since I graduated high school and worked a year in ground crew."

"I'm not confident about repairing the plane, but making it malfunction—this I can handle with ease; there will be no problem."

Li Xin nodded, having great confidence in the daring Cao Nan—there's nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

"Also, have the nearby personnel gather here; after a while, there might be a big order to fill."

Cao Nan replied bluntly: "No problem—we have enough personnel; although our Hongxin Security doesn't take on combat missions, we can handle the royal family's suppression tasks."

"After all, by then we'll have justification, so there won't be any lingering side effects."
