Chapter 910: Scared Out Of His Wits

Seeing Executive Officer Lin’s terrified look, Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyebrows, his voice was cold.

“Is it strange to know about these things? Executive Officer Lin, there are some things that you can’t hide from others as long as you do them.”

Back then, he had sent someone to investigate Executive Officer Lin’s corruption records over the years, and just so happened to find that one person.

However, it was not strange. Nowadays, many generations of nobles liked to keep a few doubles that looked similar to themselves.

If they were to be caught in the future, they would use the doubles to escape!

When Executive Officer Lin heard Jiang Xuecheng’s words, his face instantly turned as white as snow!

He staggered back a step. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it had been a big mistake for him to conspire with Fiennes to kill Jiang Xuecheng!

Now it was all over! His escape route had been completely blocked. Even the only trump card he was proud of was revealed!

Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was cold. He was completely indifferent to Executive Officer Lin’s frightened look.

“Executive Officer Lin, how is your substitute’s training going? You and Fiennes are only talking through a video call. The time spent on the line is not long. Is it difficult for your substitute?”

How could it not be difficult!

Even if he were to go into battle himself, he would find it hard to breathe in the face of Fiennes’ oppressive gaze, let alone his substitute who was from a commoner background!

Executive Officer Lin immediately shook his head at Jiang Xuecheng with a self-deprecating look on his face.

“Your Highness, you think too highly of my ability to train people. It’s not a problem for my substitute to imitate my usual tone and posture, but when it comes to big occasions, he will get anxious, so I basically haven’t used him in all these years.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng nodded. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Su Wan, his expression was thoughtful.

Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng was silent for a moment, Executive Officer Lin was somewhat unable to grasp the other party’s intentions.

However, previously, seeing that Jiang Xuecheng’s attitude was so firm that they had to take him away from Planet Aquamarine, Executive Officer Lin knew that this matter could not be settled peacefully!

And if his body double made a mistake, then Fiennes would immediately know that he had defected to Jiang Xuecheng’s camp. Then, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan would not be the only two who would be hunted down!

At that time, he would really die without a burial!

The more Executive Officer Lin thought about it, the more afraid he felt. His hands were covered in a layer of sweat. He could only wait for Jiang Xuecheng’s answer nervously.

Jiang Xuecheng had already shifted his gaze away from Su Wan and landed on Executive Officer Lin’s face again.

“Executive Officer Lin, it’s just talking through the air. It’s not a big occasion.”

“But –”

Executive Officer Lin raised his head anxiously, trying to persuade Jiang Xuecheng. However, Jiang Xuecheng waved his hand and interrupted him first.

“When is the next time you and Fiennes will contact each other?”

When Executive Officer Lin saw Jiang Xuecheng like this, he suddenly understood 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 in three days.”

Jiang Xuecheng nodded indifferently.

“Then we can stay here for a few more days. On the day you talk to Fiennes, arrange for your substitute to watch the video and try to figure out Fiennes’ thoughts.”

It was not as easy as Jiang Xuecheng said!

“Your Highness, I think...”

Before Executive Officer Lin could finish, Jiang Xuecheng had already waved his hand, indicating that there was no room for discussion on this matter.

Executive Officer Lin had a defeated look on his face. He knew that his poor life was now in the other party’s hands, and it was useless to resist. In the end, he could only swallow all the words that he was unwilling to accept.

If you don’t seek death, you won’t die. Now, he finally understood this logic.

...

Three days later, Fiennes contacted Executive Officer Lin for a video chat.

Executive Officer Lin arranged a secret compartment in the room, and Su Wan stood behind the secret compartment with Jiang Xuecheng and Executive Officer Lin’s double to observe.

It had to be said that when Su Wan saw Executive Officer Lin’s double for the first time, she was shocked!

The double was wearing the same clothes as Executive Officer Lin, and his appearance was really similar to Executive Officer Lin!

Part of it should be the effect of makeup.

However, if one looked closely, one would find that the double’s brows and eyes were a little timid, and he did not have the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Even if their appearance was similar, the temperament between the two were still too different!

Su Wan felt that this was a big drawback. However, Jiang Xuecheng smiled and pointed at Executive Officer Lin who was being reprimanded by Fiennes.

“Look at Executive Officer Lin. When he sees Fiennes, doesn’t he look like a mouse seeing a cat? As long as the double acts a little better, the two of them won’t be actually face to face. Moreover, they wouldn’t have talked for some time. Fiennes won’t be able to see through it so easily.”

Su Wan was speechless when she heard that, but after thinking about it, what Jiang Xuecheng said made sense.

After ending the call, Executive Officer Lin was sweating profusely.

He felt that he was living such a miserable life. On one hand, it was because of the pressure from Fiennes, and on the other hand, it was because there was a devil that he couldn’t afford to offend watching from behind!

Jiang Xuecheng took out the video that he had recorded just now and played it. He described a few important points that the stunt double needed to remember.

At the same time, he asked the stunt double to figure out Executive Officer Lin’s usual small movements and habits.

“If you really can’t talk to Fiennes anymore, just lower your head and apologize in fear.”

Su Wan felt a headache coming on as she listened. She felt that disguising as another person was really not an easy task.

Executive Officer Lin felt like he was sitting on pins and needles as he listened. He was most afraid that his stunt double would be exposed by Fiennes.

This was not a fun thing to do!

Just as the few of them were chatting, the communication device in the room suddenly rang.

Fiennes rarely contacted Executive Officer Lin after they finished!

The four people behind the hidden compartment looked at each other in dismay. Executive Officer Lin was even more troubled. He was about to go back on his own when Jiang Xuecheng stopped him.

Executive Officer Lin turned his head in confusion.

Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was calm as he pointed at the substitute that looked exactly like Executive Officer Lin.

“Let him go.”

Ah?!

How long had Jiang Xuecheng been giving him pointers, and he wanted to let his substitute go on stage?

Executive Officer Lin was so scared that his soul almost left his body. However, in the end, he was threatened by Jiang Xuecheng with the virus, so he could only agree with a bitter face!

Surprisingly, the stunt double’s performance was barely satisfactory. At least Fiennes didn’t jump out and say that the stunt double was fake!

Executive Officer Lin heaved a sigh of relief. He finally had some confidence in leaving Planet Aquamarine.

...

After continuing to train the stunt double for two days, Jiang Xuecheng directly left Planet Aquamarine with Su Wan and Executive Officer Lin.

The road ahead was endless. They did not know what was waiting for them.

They only hoped that Fiennes would not go too far and would leave the high priest alive!
