The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 352: Does Lu Xingzhou Also Have an Alias?

Upon hearing the words "Red Alliance," Jiang Man raised her eyebrows.

She didn’t feel surprised; instead, she shook her head with resignation.

Over the years, many organizations and powers committed misdeeds and claimed to be the Red Alliance.

The reputation of the Red Alliance plummeted and continued to worsen with each passing day.

They had tried to clear their name, but it was useless.

The forces in the world committing evil under the banner of the Red Alliance were far too numerous.

Yet the true Red Alliance only partook in acts of justice.

Because they had done such significant acts of justice, they had many enemies.

For safety, the Red Alliance had always kept a low profile.

The command center, the inner high ranks, all that information was very well kept secret.

Of course, this included her, the Alliance Hierarch, who to date had remained deeply hidden, unknown to the world.

"Manman, there’s a bit of trouble at the company; I have to leave first."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xingzhou approached Jiang Man to inform her.

Jiang Man looked up, "I heard the Red Alliance?"

"Yes, the Red Alliance robbed a shipment from Lu Corporation, quite seriously."

"Then you should get to it." Jiang Man didn’t say much, nor did she plan on revealing herself.

As soon as Lu Xingzhou was gone, she immediately took out her phone and called King to explain the situation to him.

"Dad, I need to make a trip to the Arabian Gulf."

King didn’t immediately reply to his daughter’s request.

After a moment of contemplation, he agreed, "Let Vermilion Bird accompany you."

"Okay."

She had also thought of an excuse for going abroad.

Today was Christmas Eve, and tomorrow would be Christmas Day.

Christmas was akin to overseas New Year celebrations, so she and her father were to return to the M country for a few days.

As Lu Xingzhou was on his way to the company by car, he received a message from Jiang Man.

He frowned and called her.

"Why so sudden?"

"I wasn’t planning to go back, but after all, it’s their New Year, and many relatives still hope that dad and I would return."

"Well then, I’ll accompany you."

"No need, you have work to attend to; focus on your job. I have Yingfan with me; he’s also going back, so it won’t be boring."

Lu Xingzhou thought about it and indeed, he couldn’t leave at the moment.

A loss of 90 million wasn’t a small sum.

Moreover, if the Red Alliance wasn’t taught a lesson this time, there’d be a second time.

If the Red Alliance wasn’t punished harshly this time and the goods weren’t retrieved, Lu Corporation might as well forget about doing business with Middle Eastern countries.

Any goods passing through the Arabian Gulf could potentially be hijacked by the Red Alliance.

"Alright, then I feel reassured."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xingzhou immediately messaged Wu Yingfan, instructing him to take good care of Jiang Man, mentioning that the weather was cold and to keep warm during the Christmas festivities.

Wu Yingfan was still sound asleep, awakened by the beeping of his phone.

Upon reading the text, he turned over in bed.

Wild Christmas celebrations?

Sister Man didn’t say anything about celebrating Christmas.

He wanted to continue lying there, but then his phone rang.

The sound was loud, almost like a death knell.

He lazily picked it up and, seeing it was a call from Jiang Man, instantly became alert and immediately awake.

"Hello? Sister Man?"

"Pack up, we’re heading to the Arabian Gulf."

"What???" Wu Yingfan cried out in astonishment.

"Going to the Arabian Gulf for Christmas?" freewebnøvel.com

"For your head, we’re going to kill people," Jiang Man’s voice was calm, as if joking, yet it gave off an eerily cold feeling.

"Kill... kill people?" Wu Yingfan stuttered, "Who needs Sister Man to kill by hand?"

"The bastards who’ve done endless evil under the false guise of the Red Alliance!"

Wu Yingfan sandwiched the phone between his ear and shoulder, standing up to fasten his trousers, "Sister Man, tell me more in detail."

Jiang Man was succinct in her words.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yingfan nearly jumped out of his skin. "Fuck! These idiots must have a death wish; they dare to shit on your head by using your name to hijack your husband’s cargo?"

"No more bullshit! We’re leaving in an hour!"

Time was money.

They had to move faster.

Otherwise, if the pirates got in touch with a buyer and sold off the 500,000 hijacked batteries, Lu Corporation would truly be out of pocket.

...

King was very considerate, instructing Vermilion Bird to protect Jiang Man, while also providing her with a private plane.

"Miss, Master Jin has already arranged local ground support; it’s a very capable armed force at your service," Vermilion Bird said respectfully.

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows.

She had already mobilized a battalion from the Red Alliance to head to the Arabian Gulf first, bringing along elite weaponry.

However, her father’s concern was well-intentioned, and she naturally wouldn’t refuse it.

"Let’s go."

...

Meanwhile, Lu Corporation held a senior meeting to discuss a solution to the incident.

The foreign affairs department had already contacted the local embassy and the armed forces of Bay Country.

Plan 1: Mobilize domestic resources, gather the 500,000 batteries needed from different regions, and transport them to Bay Country using the costly but safe method of air transportation to complete the delivery.

Plan 2: Lu Corporation would spend a fortune to buy off local armed forces and join forces with the Bay Country military in a battle with the Red Alliance pirates!

Choosing the commander for the operation became the focus of discussion.

The person had to have a global perspective and understand military strategy.

They also needed command and leadership skills.

Clearly, such a person shouldn’t be in the business world but in the military field.

"I’ll do it," Lu Zhendong volunteered. "I’ve been in charge of overseas business for years and I’m quite familiar with the international market."

The directors exchanged looks, feeling Lu Zhendong was indeed the best choice.

Just as they were about to vote on the decision, Lu Xingzhou settled it with a final hammer blow.

"Third Brother, you take care of the airlifting of goods. I’ll head to the front."

"How can that be?" Lu Zhendong was worried. "You have a wife; you should consider her, if not yourself. There’s a war going on in the front lines—guns and bullets don’t have eyes."

"Yeah, Xingzhou, you are Lu’s linchpin, it’s too risky for you to go."

"Mr. Lu, now is not the time to be impulsive. We’re angry that the cargo was hijacked, and we know you feel the same. But we are, after all, businessmen; it’s better not to get involved in fighting and killing."

...

On the other side.

After eight hours of flight, the private plane arrived in Bay Country.

Due to a four-hour time difference, it was midafternoon there.

The winter temperatures in Bay Country ranged from 15 to 28 degrees, quite warm compared to Beicheng.

After landing, everyone shed their heavy clothing and went light.

Bay Country had become quite popular in recent years, known as a shopping paradise, a place of glitz and glamour, coveted by many.

But Jiang Man and her group were not there to play.

After checking into the Sailboat Hotel, Seth, a high-ranking member of the Red Alliance, came to visit.

A standard Caucasian beauty with fair skin, good looks, and long legs.

Her appearance masked her true capabilities exceptionally well.

"Alliance Hierarch, we’ve investigated clearly. It’s the work of Blackwater guys!"

"So it was Blackwater." Jiang Man leaned back in her chair, idly tapping on the round table.

Tap, tap, tap, with a steady rhythm.

"Let’s not startle the snake in the grass for now. Arrange to meet with their leader; say we’re interested in buying the batch of goods in their possession."

Jiang Man’s expression remained calm.

Simply put, she was planning to beat them at their own game.

"By the way," Seth added, "the international peacekeeping forces will join in the operation to recover the goods."

"Huh?" Jiang Man lifted her eyelids, quite surprised.

Who would have thought Lu Xingzhou had the leverage to get help from peacekeeping forces?

"Who’s in command?"

"Your idol, chow..."
