Chapter 227 A Mysterious Organization Codenamed "K" Emerges
"The K Organization..."
Lin Zhou stared intently at the extremely blurry screenshot of the hacker interception in his hand.
Look at the black venomous snake coiled around the dark red cross.
His Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and relying on the warning message that the system had just given him, he forced out those three words through gritted teeth.
The driver of the suicide squad ahead remained focused, like an emotionless machine.
But Old Chen was sitting in the passenger seat.
It felt as if his heart had been instantly pierced by a current of millions of volts!
Old Chen suddenly turned around.
Those usually calm and experienced old eyes, which could remain unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain, were now filled with unprecedented horror and fear.
"Young Master! What...what did you just say?!"
Old Chen's voice even changed tone due to extreme shock.
His voice was hoarse, like fingernails scraping hard against glass.
Lin Zhou ignored the system notification that was still faintly ringing in his mind.
He raised his head, his deep, peach-blossom eyes filled with dangerous bloodshot veins.
"I'm asking you, does this symbol represent an underground organization called the K Organization?"
Old Chen's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
It felt as if those three words had completely drained all the blood from my body.
"There is absolutely no text labeling on this screenshot!"
"Young Master, you've had amnesia for seven whole years, and the original Master never mentioned this to you. How do you know this taboo name?!"
Old Chen's body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Lin Zhou casually made up a perfectly plausible lie.
"Just now, the instant I saw this cross and the snake."
"I had fragmented images of the car accident from seven years ago flashing through my mind. I vaguely heard the killers outside the fire mention this code name."
Upon hearing this, Old Chen slumped back in his leather seat, completely dejected.
It was as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"As expected... it really is them..."
Old Chen muttered to himself, his tone revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Uncle Chen, tell me in detail."
Lin Zhou slapped the A4 paper with the totem printed on it onto the leather armrest, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.
"Just what exactly is this K organization?"
Old Chen swallowed hard, as if even mentioning the name required immense courage.
"They're a bunch of real lunatics."
"Or rather, they are faceless ghosts who control the order of the underworld and manipulate events beneath the surface."
Old Chen's voice was extremely low, as if he were afraid of disturbing the evil spirits hiding in the night.
"They have been active in the depths of the dark web overseas for nearly half a century."
"On the surface, they don't have any legally registered companies around the world. But beneath the surface, the organization's reach is suffocatingly vast."
"From armed smuggling in the Middle East to the manipulation of financial oligarchs in Europe, and the secret assassination of top transnational political figures."
"They've left their mark on every one of the world's most lucrative and bloodiest schemes!"
Old Chen's words caused the temperature inside the carriage to drop to freezing point again.
"It is said that they have an extremely strict hierarchical system. This badge with a serpent entwined around a cross is the exclusive totem of their core high-ranking members."
"Anyone targeted by this totem will be doomed, no matter where they flee or hide in a nuclear bunker."
"In the end, they will all die cleanly and completely in some extremely 'natural' accidental way!"
Lin Zhou gave a cold laugh.
But a fine layer of cold sweat seeped out from his back.
"For example, like Zhou Lixing's sudden acute cardiac arrest tonight?"
"That's right!" Old Chen nodded emphatically.
"To be able to kill a living person without knives or guns, right under the noses of the heavy surveillance in a detention center, without anyone noticing."
"It can even prevent professional forensic doctors from finding any fatal flaws."
"Besides the K Organization, I can't think of any other terrifying force with this kind of power!"
Lin Zhou tapped his knees lightly with his long, slender fingers, his mind racing.
"Everyone in the world is driven by profit. If they are such a high-level transnational criminal oligarch, why would they go to such lengths to come to China and target our Lin family?"
"Just because the Lin family chaebol was rich back then?"
"Young Master, in their eyes, money is nothing more than a string of numbers that can be changed at any time." Old Chen sighed deeply.
Seven years ago, China's financial market had just undergone a dramatic transformation, and many rules were still being improved.
"Organization K is trying to take advantage of the situation, using numerous offshore shell companies hidden overseas, to forcibly acquire several of China's most core military industrial enterprises and rare earth mines!"
"This is digging up the very roots of our nation!"
"As the former president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, with Chinese blood flowing in his veins, how could he possibly stand by and watch such a thing happen?"
"So, my father intervened and stopped them?" Lin Zhou's eyes sharpened.
"It's more than just a blocking action!"
A hint of tragic pride flashed in Old Chen's eyes.
"The master joined forces with several of the top patriotic financial magnates in the country at the time and used all available funds."
"In the secondary market, we fought a fierce and brutal financial defense battle against them!"
"Not only did they kick all their shell companies out of the house."
"The master also obtained, through special channels and at great cost, a list of 'traitors' planted by the K organization within China, as well as extremely damaging evidence of their money laundering!"
"Once that evidence is submitted to the highest levels, the K Organization's entire network in the Asia-Pacific region will be completely destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhou finally understood that the entire logical chain was completely closed.
"So the fatal list in my father's hands became the death warrant for the entire Lin family."
"They were desperate, so they spared no expense and used top-notch professional assassins to create that flawless series of car crashes."
"As for the Zhou family, because they coveted the Lin family's vast assets, they were willing to become a guide dog for the K organization in China, responsible for cleaning up traces and keeping watch on the outside."
Lin Zhou closed his eyes.
I took a deep breath of the slightly cool air in the carriage.
He originally thought that by ruining Dynasty Entertainment and sending the Zhou family father and son to prison, he could rest easy.
Looking back now, I realize how ridiculously naive I was!
The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light!
This intense sense of crisis was like a cold, sharp dagger pressed firmly against Lin Zhou's throat.
He now holds hundreds of billions of dollars and has three thousand Shadow Assassins under his command.
In the business world, he can crush any competitor with money.
But what about a top-tier terrorist organization that specializes in transnational assassinations and can easily infiltrate even detention centers?
His current fighting strength and defensive measures are riddled with flaws!
The fact that the other party was able to silence Zhou Lixing proves that they have been secretly watching China's every move.
He not only wanted to avenge the blood feud.
He still has his wife Su Qingge and his adorable daughter Nuonuo!
If the K organization discovers that the young master of the Lin family, who wasn't quite dead back then, is not only alive, but has also traced the clues back to them.
They will definitely retaliate like piranhas that have smelled blood!
Will those bulletproof glass and bodyguards really be able to stop the ghostly assassinations?
"Uncle Chen."
Lin Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, his tone extremely cold.
"Immediately sever all dark web investigation leads related to Dynasty Entertainment! Don't let hackers touch that node again; erase all traces of their activities immediately!"
"From this moment forward, deploy all of the Lin family's top-level security forces to Qingge and Nuonuo's side!"
"I want to ensure that not even a fly of unknown origin can get near them!"
Old Chen nodded emphatically immediately.
"This old servant understands! This old servant will go and make arrangements immediately..."
Old Chen hadn't finished speaking.
Lin Zhou, sitting in the back seat, suddenly groaned.
Without any warning.
It felt as if red-hot steel needles had been plunged into the temples and violently stirred!
"Buzz—!"
The system's piercing notification sound echoed wildly in the depths of my mind once again.
[WARNING! The seal on higher-dimensional memories continues to shatter!]
[Core hostile force detected; host's brain subjected to extreme stimulation!]
[Deep memory repair progress is being forcibly accelerated—]
A pain ten or even a hundred times more intense than the one I experienced in the kindergarten's infirmary.
In an instant, it was like a category 12 tsunami, mercilessly sweeping over Lin Zhou's entire brain.
Those horrific images of the car accident seven years ago.
No longer blurry fragments.
Instead, it carried an extremely realistic smell of blood and a pungent burning odor, tearing open every nerve in his body!
"Ugh—!"
Lin Zhou clutched his head in pain.
His tall, upright body hunched over uncontrollably, and he curled up painfully in the spacious back seat.
Large beads of cold sweat instantly soaked through his hoodie.
"Young Master! Young Master, what's wrong!"
Old Chen was so frightened that he immediately lunged towards the back seat.
"Turn around! Go to the nearest private hospital! Hurry!" Old Chen yelled hysterically at the driver.
Lin Zhou clenched his back teeth tightly, his mouth filled with a thick, rusty taste of blood.
He used every last bit of strength he had left.
He gripped Old Chen's sleeve tightly, his voice hoarse like that of a dying beast.
"No...don't go to the hospital..."
"Go home... I want to go home... to find Qingge..."
