Chapter 902: Waiting For An Opportunity

When she heard Jiang Xuecheng mention the arrangements for returning to the God’s Palace, Su Wan’s brows immediately furrowed.

She tugged at Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeve, a hint of worry appearing on her face.

“Jiang Xuecheng, don’t you think what happened this time is very strange? First, they deliberately plotted to kill the two of us. After that, they clearly didn’t get any corpses, yet they insisted on transporting them to the God’s Palace’s headquarters…”

Seeing that Xuecheng had been listening to her words attentively and didn’t refute her from the beginning to the end, Su Wan felt more confident in her heart. She began to put forward her own hypothesis.

“Xuecheng, these things are clearly targeted at us. Moreover, I feel that no matter what, if they want to get a fake corpse back, they must have the confidence to hide it from the high priest’s eyes. However, the high priest is very difficult to deceive, unless…”

Su Wan didn’t say anything else, but Jiang Xuecheng continued.

“Unless… The God’s Palace is already in chaos, and the High Priest isn’t in the mood to pay attention to this matter. Wan Wan, did you want to talk about this?”

After being exposed by Jiang Xuecheng’s words, Su Wan immediately nodded.

“That’s right, that’s what I mean!”

The two of them looked at each other, and they saw a hint of solemnity in each other’s eyes.

If Su Wan had not been infected by the CHK virus, who would have the time to care about these messy things.

The world was so big. After the misunderstanding between them was cleared up, they could find a place with beautiful mountains and clear rivers to enjoy themselves.

Unfortunately, people were always troubled by some ties.

“By the way, didn’t you say last time that Fiennes was the mastermind? Do you think he did this because he wanted to become the Emperor of the God’s Palace?”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips. He nodded slightly at Su Wan, but he soon shook his head.

“You could say that. But if that’s the case, then you’re underestimating him too much.”

Su Wan was startled when she heard that, and she couldn’t help but look surprised.

Why did he say that she was underestimating Fiennes that he wanted to become the emperor of the God’s Palace?

When Jiang Xuecheng saw that Su Wan couldn’t beat around the bush, he couldn’t help but poke her head and start to advise her.

“Wan Wan, don’t you think that Fiennes’ usual attitude is really respectful towards the high priest?”

Su Wan finally woke up!

Her pupils suddenly widened. She felt that this news was a little unbelievable!

“You mean, he wants to completely overthrow the high priest’s rule?”

Heavens, this ambition!

As expected, she had underestimated that man Fiennes too much…

However, thinking about it, it made sense. Being controlled by others like them was glorious on the surface, but there was always a ticking time bomb above them, making one unable to have peace at all times.

If it wasn’t for the high priest, Fiennes would have been able to unite the four great families, and he would have been able to control all the authority of the God’s Palace by himself. Once he had the authority, he would be able to gradually burn the bridge after crossing the river and truly suppress the other three clans.

In any case, in all these years, only the Siswell clan had developed the best…

The more Su Wan thought about it, the more speechless she felt. She thought back to the day she and Jiang Xuecheng had left. Fiennes had a smiling face. On the surface, he had wished them a pleasant journey, but in reality, he had already planned for them to die in a foreign land!

He was definitely vicious.

He was much more powerful than his sister who only knew how to pester them. He could really stab you without batting an eyelid!

“Have you figured it out now? Looks like you’re not too stupid after all.”

When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s enlightened look, he took the opportunity to narrow his eyes and lightly mocked Su Wan with a smile.

When Su Wan heard this, she was speechless.

Why did this person always mock her intelligence?!

Even if he was narcissistic, there was no need to hit her so hard!

Su Wan curled her lips in disdain at Jiang Xuecheng.

“Alright, alright. You’re the smartest, alright? Now, let’s invite our smartest Mr. Jiang Xuecheng to explain to me how we can safely arrive at the headquarters of the God’s Palace in our current situation.”

The two of them didn’t have enough money to live on. When they had fallen from the carriage, it was only natural that all the money and documents were worldly possessions. None of them were with them anymore.

If they were to reveal their identities to the public, they could return to the God’s Palace. However, they would definitely fall into the hands of others again.

When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s angry face, he felt that Su Wan’s current appearance was extremely cute. He could not help but stretch out his hand to pinch the side of Su Wan’s face.

“Wan Wan, when you bicker, it’s really interesting.”

“I’m talking serious business with you. Be more serious!”

Su Wan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng and took the opportunity to slap Jiang Xuecheng’s hand.

“Right now, the first reason is that we don’t have the money to take the interstellar spaceship. The second reason is that we don’t have suitable documents, and it’s impossible for us to expose our identities. How do you think we can go back?”

Moreover, there was another bigger worry in Su Wan’s heart.

Looking at Fiennes’ arrogant look, he was probably really confident that his rebellion would succeed.

What if the high priest was killed by Fiennes?

The only person who knew the cure to the CHK Virus No.3 was dead. Then, it would be useless for her and Jiang Xuecheng to go back!

The only thing Su Wan prayed for was that terrifying woman, the high priest, could hold on for a little longer. She must not easily die at Fiennes’ hands.

She really did not expect that one day, for her own life, she would even pray for the high priest. It could only be said that fate was filled with ridicule.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan with a serious expression. Then, he calmly gave an answer.

“This is actually not difficult. As long as we know Executive Officer Lin’s whereabouts, the two of us can return to the God’s Palace.”

Su Wan was startled when she heard this. She immediately grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s wrist.

“It wasn’t easy for us to escape. Don’t tell me you still want to find Executive Officer Lin to expose our identities?”

Jiang Xuecheng was speechless when he heard this. Why did Su Wan always think that he was…

Was he the kind of person who would send himself to his death?!

Jiang Xuecheng reached out and stroked Su Wan’s hair. His voice was calm.

“What are you thinking? Wan Wan, even if I want to meet him, of course, it’s to catch him off guard. I’ll capture him in the dark and use him as a hostage.”

When Su Wan heard this, her heart was in turmoil and she felt very uneasy.

“Are you sure you can do it?”

Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was firm.

“Executive Officer Lin is considered a local tyrant and he doesn’t think anyone can hurt him. That’s why he usually doesn’t have any experts by his side. Besides, he must think that we’re dead, so he won’t be on guard against us.”

As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

“The two of us will stay here for a few more days. I guess he’ll come back to Yanlu Town to inspect. When he lowers his guard, we’ll wait for an opportunity to make a move.”

Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng say it so simply, but the worry in her heart didn’t lessen at all.

She could only remain silent for a while. In the end, she decided to wait and observe for a few days before making a move.

…

It was inconvenient for Jiang Xuecheng to make an appearance. Usually, he relied on Su Wan to go out and do some miscellaneous things to barely pay the rent. Fortunately, this place was poor, and even the cost of staying in a hotel was very cheap.

Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng walked around Yanlu Town for almost a week. Finally, on the eighth day, Executive Officer Lin was going to visit Yanlu Town.
