485: Chapter 485: Swords and Sticks Are Blind!
Behind the cloth curtain, Abbot Wu Jiu took the letter, and the next second, his face changed slightly.
“I do not recognize it, young benefactor, please leave,” Abbot Wu Jiu waved his hand casually, sending the letter flying out from behind the cloth curtain.
Lin Shuang caught the letter and coldly debunked, “Abbot, if you do not recognize it, why then did your breathing become rapid and disordered when you saw this letter just now?”
At that moment, behind the cloth curtain, Abbot Wu Jiu fell silent.
After a long time, he finally let out a long sigh.
“Alas,” Abbot Wu Jiu slowly stood up and finally stepped out from behind the curtain.
He appeared to be about 80 years old, his face covered with a silver-white beard.
“Young benefactor, since I can’t deceive you, I will no longer conceal the truth.
Indeed, this letter was sent out from our temple.
But it was not written by myself,” Abbot Wu Jiu sighed.
How did I end up in Hanshan Temple back then?” Lin Shuang asked with an anxious expression.
Abbot Wu Jiu sighed and said, “Back then, one of my senior brothers found you on the mountain.
You were an infant, abandoned, and my brother brought you to the temple.
However, we truly did not know how to care for an infant, so in the end, my brother entrusted you to an orphanage in Hai City.
This letter was also written by that senior brother of mine.
Never did I expect that the infant from back then has already grown so much…
“Young man, what is your name now?
And what do you do for a living?” Abbot Wu Jiu asked with a trace of sentiment.
“Lin Shuang, a man of frost.
I work as a bodyguard,” Lin Shuang replied.
Being a bodyguard is a fine occupation as well.
Work hard and live a good life.
There is no need to delve into past matters, the most important thing is…
to live well in the present,” Abbot Wu Jiu advised with a sigh.
However, Lin Shuang pursued relentlessly, “Abbot, I cannot settle my mind without resolvement of my origins.
Please introduce me to your senior brother, I wish to meet him!”
He had to meet this life-saving benefactor to both express gratitude and inquire about his origins.
But Abbot Wu Jiu slowly shook his head, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet him.
My senior brother’s name was Wu Chen, and he passed away five years ago.”
Lin Shuang would not relent, insisting on seeing the grave of Master Wu Chen.
Abbot Wu Jiu then led him to the back mountain to the grave of his senior brother.
Only after seeing the grave did Lin Shuang give up.
As for the content of the letter, Lin Shuang also inquired Abbot Wu Jiu.
Why did the letter mention ‘This child has a troubled origin, leaving his name under our temple could cause great chaos.’?
About this letter and the statement within, Abbot Wu Jiu knew nothing.
He shook his head and sighed, indicating his ignorance, and with his brother now gone, all clues were severed.
In the end, Lin Shuang had no choice but to take his leave, returning without success.
Meanwhile, on Tai Lake, inside a nuclear-powered submarine,
Su Wanqiao finally received the investigation results sent by the secretary.
According to the comparison between the interior photos of the submarine, and external appearance photos, the secretary discovered that this nuclear-powered submarine was the latest to be commissioned by the North Bear country, the God of the North Wind, a strategic nuclear submarine!
This was one of the top nuclear submarines in the world, currently still in active service!
Upon receiving this information, Su Wanqiao was shocked.
Didn’t Lin Shuang say this submarine had been decommissioned?
The results show it’s a brand new nuclear submarine, still in service?
How did he manage to procure such a top-tier piece of military hardware?
Su Wanqiao grew even more astonished and curious about Lin Shuang’s identity!
And today, Lin Shuang finally returned to the submarine.
He had returned without achieving his goal, and his mood was not good.
Lin Shuang sent the audio file of Abbot Wu Jiu’s conversation to Ning Jinyu.
He asked Ning Jinyu to analyze whether Abbot Wu Jiu was lying.
After remotely listening to the dialogue recording, Ning Jinyu concluded that Abbot Wu Jiu was lying!
Ning Jinyu analyzed from a psychological perspective that Abbot Wu Jiu’s speech was deliberately avoiding key points, which is indicative of lying!
With this conclusion, Lin Shuang’s expression hardened.
The abbot of Hanshan Temple lying?
Why would he conceal anything?
A cold light flashed in Lin Shuang’s eyes; he decided to make another trip to Hanshan Temple tomorrow!
The next morning, Lin Shuang set off again for Hanshan Temple.
But today, the entire Hanshan Temple was closed tight, refusing to receive any visitors.
Lin Shuang’s eyes narrowed; he knew there was something strange about this temple.
Standing outside the temple, he shouted loudly, demanding to see the abbot.
The temple doors remained firmly shut.
Without further ado, Lin Shuang kicked the temple doors open and forced his way inside!
As Lin Shuang broke in, the originally quiet Hanshan Temple erupted…
countless monks surged out all at once!
These monks, wielding wooden staffs, blocked Lin Shuang’s path and angrily commanded him to leave!
“How dare you commit such insolence in front of Hanshan Temple!
Leave immediately, or do not blame us if our staffs show no mercy!” the monks shouted in anger.
“No need for talk, let’s get on with it,” Lin Shuang, not in the mood for words, charged directly into the fray of monks!
