Chapter 95: You Pay the Military Expenses

; Lin Inspector said it's right,; Yang Chengdong suppressed the anger in his heart, forced a smile,; Our Security Army indeed has many shortcomings; we still need to ask the Inspector for advice often.;

; Uncle!; Qin Chang'an interrupted coldly, staring directly at Lin Yu,; If you came to watch a joke, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Since the talk is over, we should see you off.;

Lin Yu heard that and gave a light chuckle, relaxing further on the sofa:; Seeing you off? I came here with great fanfare, bringing troops to the Security Command Headquarters; you think I'm just going through the motions?;

; You!; Qin Chang'an could no longer hold back, jumped to his feet,; Lin Yu, what exactly do you want to do? After all, you're just a Bureau Chief of the Fourth Bureau; even with the title of Imperial Inspector, leading troops to storm the Security Command Headquarters is neither reasonable nor in accordance with the rules!;

; Rules?; Lin Yu's voice suddenly turned cold, a flash of dangerous light in his eyes,; You're talking to me about rules?;

He stood up, looking down at Qin Chang'an from above:; In this chaotic world, strength is the rule! My rule is the rule!;

This sentence rang out, echoing in the reception room. Yang Chengdong's face grew even uglier; the other officers also looked at each other, unsure what to do.

; You think the imperial inspector's badge the court gave you lets you do as you please?; Qin Chang'an gritted his teeth.

; Doing as you please?; Lin Yu gave a cold chuckle,; You're right, I can indeed do as I please. Because I have this strength! Your Security Army is quite capable, aren't you? Why don't you stop me from exterminating the Ninth Division?;

He stepped closer to Qin Chang'an:; You don't dare! Because you know, just based on you lot of trash, you're not even worthy to hand me my shoes!;

; Lin Yu! Don't go too far!; Qin Chang'an shouted angrily.

; Too far?; Lin Yu's voice grew even colder,; When your father was around, I would still give you some face. Now...;

He turned his head to look at Yang Chengdong and the others:; Do you think the Security Command Headquarters now is still worthy to discuss rules with me?;

This sentence struck like a heavy hammer, shattering the dignity of everyone present. They all knew that, with the Ninth Division's defeat today, Lin Yu is no longer someone they can easily provoke.

And this young man, with an overbearing attitude, is ruthlessly slamming this harsh reality onto their faces...

; After all,; Lin Yu slowly took out a new cigarette and lit it,; Shen City's defenses should be your Security Commander's Army's responsibility, right?;

He blew a smoke ring, eyes amused:; The Ninth Division's tough bone should have been yours to gnaw. But now? I've gnawed it down.;

Qin Chang'an's heart sank, he vaguely guessed what it was.

; So then,; Lin Yu's voice carried a hint of teasing,; This time I mobilized troops and deployed heavy forces; the military expenses were not small. This sum ought to be paid by the Security Command Headquarters.;

; What?; Qin Chang'an jumped to his feet, eyes wide open,; What did you say?;

; How?; Lin Yu raised an eyebrow,; Does the Young Commander find this unreasonable?;

; Absurd! Simply absurd!; Qin Chang'an laughed angrily,; Lin Yu, you're being too arrogant! Who do you think you are? On what basis should we give you military expenses?;

Lin Yu's smile suddenly turned cold:; On what basis? Just because I wiped out the Ninth Division overnight. Just because you lot of trash only dare to watch from the sidelines!;

He stood up, looking down at Qin Chang'an:; Give or not?;

; Dream on!; Qin Chang'an gritted his teeth.

; Then don't blame me for taking it myself,; Lin Yu gave a cold chuckle,; Anyway, I know exactly where the Security Command Headquarters' treasury is.;

; You dare!;

; What's there not to dare?; Lin Yu looked at him with contempt,; You think, just based on you lot of gluttons, you can stop me?;

; You!; Qin Chang'an was about to rush forward, but Yang Chengdong grabbed him.

; Chang'an!; Yang Chengdong lowered his voice to stop him, then turned to Lin Yu, forced a smile,; Director Lin is right; this time in exterminating the Ninth Division, you contributed the most. The matter of military expenses ought to be handled by us.;

; Uncle!; Qin Chang'an looked at Yang Chengdong in disbelief.

; Shut up!; Yang Chengdong glared at him, then apologetically smiled at Lin Yu,; Director Lin, how much military expense do you want?;

; Military expenses, huh...; Lin Yu leaned lazily on the sofa, waved his hand behind him,; Shiteyin, you calculate.;

Shiteyin stepped out from the shadows, wearing a crisp uniform, his face bearing the sternness unique to iron-blooded soldiers.

Although he is essentially German, that resolute Eastern visage exudes an indescribable dignity.

He stood ramrod straight, his voice resonant and powerful:; Heavy Artillery Battalion's ammunition consumption in the outer positions, 1,200,000 taels; armored troops' fuel supply, 800,000 taels; special forces' equipment loss, 1,500,000 taels; medical logistics supply, 500,000 taels; various units' combat allowances...;

He reported each item, every figure clear and strong:; Total: 6,000,000 taels.;

; What?; Yang Chengdong's face changed dramatically,; "?";

; Too much?; Lin Yu gave a light chuckle, his gaze deep,; I've heard that the Security Command Headquarters' treasury holds at least 20,000,000 taels, right?;

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the reception room instantly froze. Yang Chengdong's forehead broke out in cold sweat; the other officers also looked at each other.

They never imagined that even the specific numbers in the treasury were clear to Lin Yu. Just how many spies has this young man planted in the Security Command Headquarters?

; How?; Lin Yu looked at everyone's expressions with amusement,; Six million, which is less than a third of your treasury. Surely you can't even come up with this amount?;

His voice remained light, but the threat in his words was unmistakable. Everyone present understood that if they didn't pay, this madman really would dare to go straight and rob...

; Director Lin,; Yang Chengdong wiped the sweat from his forehead,; Such a huge sum, we still need to discuss it before we can give you an answer.;

; Discuss?; Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.

; Yes,; Yang Chengdong apologetically smiled,; After all, this is the Security Command Headquarters' public funds; we also need to give an explanation to those below, right? Please wait a moment, Director Lin.;

Lin Yu looked at his watch:; Half an hour, not a minute more.;

He suddenly stretched:; Right, I haven't eaten lunch yet, I'm hungry.;

; This is easy!; Yang Chengdong, as if pardoned, hurriedly shouted outward,; Come on! Quickly prepare the banquet!;

Then he turned toward Lin Yu, all smiles:; Director Lin, shall we go to the banquet hall? Let them prepare some good food and drink.;

Lin Yu stood up, nodded absentmindedly.

After Lin Yu was led to the banquet hall, Yang Chengdong immediately took Qin Chang'an and several officers quickly toward the study. Their faces were all grim, but none dared to show the slightest sign in front of Lin Yu.

This young inspector has already proven his terror with strength. Now they only have half an hour to decide how to deal with this thorny situation...
