Soon, Lin Chen's information reached Taro Sato, the boss of the Sakura Organization.
"A bounty of 500,000, that's not particularly high."
Taro Sato frowned.
Targets of this level usually don't cause too much trouble.
"There's something odd about this Lin Chen."
"An ordinary person is close to the Song family, and he even married into a wealthy family."
Taro Sato said, "The people who attacked us might have been hired by the Song family. Contact them and say we'll suspend the bounty on Lin Chen."
He created the Sakura Organization to make money.
Fighting to the death with powerful forces goes against his original intention of making money. He can have people pull the network cable to avoid cyberattacks and then retaliate in reality.
But what about next?
If they can't handle it for a long time, both the assassins and the clients might doubt their strength, and they might choose other assassin organizations.
Moreover, the force attacking them is strong. If they retaliate, the other party might figure out their weaknesses and retaliate as well.
"Yes, boss."
Soon, their network experts sent out the information.
On the Huaxia side, the middle-aged man organizing the attack said, "Tell them that suspending the bounty is unacceptable. If they don't completely stop, we'll continue attacking relentlessly."
Taro Sato quickly received the reply.
His face darkened. "Threaten them. If they continue, we'll send a special-class assassin to kill Lin Chen."
As a top-tier assassin organization, they can't be too cowardly.
"Director Lei, what do we do?"
The middle-aged man in the Huaxia base frowned. His name was Lei Wendong, and he was the head of this cyber force.
"You guys continue—"
Lei Wendong went to his office.
He called Tian Lang and told him the situation.
"Tian Lang, with a force like the Blood Sakura, if we back down, they might become even more ruthless, but if we fight head-on, we might completely break ties."
"Some assassins belong entirely to their organization."
Lei Wendong said.
Tian Lang frowned on the other end of the phone.
He knew Lin Chen's situation. Lin Chen couldn't have an accident. The higher-ups valued Lin Chen greatly. If Lin Chen had an accident, he estimated he wouldn't be far from retirement.
"Director Lei, if you continue attacking, can you dig out all of the Sakura Organization's secrets?"
Tian Lang asked.
Lei Wendong said, "We have many experts, but they also have quite a few strong ones. It's difficult for us to infiltrate silently."
"Our strength is useless if they pull the network cable."
"However, as long as they still want to make money, our continuous attacks will definitely dig them out."
Tian Lang was silent for a while and said, "You guys continue attacking for now."
After hanging up, Tian Lang dialed Lin Chen's number.
Lin Chen was cooking. After hearing what Tian Lang said, he said casually, "Tian Lang, didn't I tell you? If they want to fight head-on, then fight them to the end."
"We can't back down at this time."
"Whichever side backs down loses the initiative."
Tian Lang was silent for a few seconds and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm afraid that overstimulation might cause them to lose their minds."
"It's okay, fight them."
Lin Chen said.
He had detailed information on the Sakura Organization's bosses and all of the Sakura Organization's assassins. Saying this would be enough to make them regain their senses.
With these chips in hand, he wasn't worried at all.
"Mr. Lin, then we'll continue."
Tian Lang quickly contacted Lei Wendong and told them to continue.
The Sakura Organization continued to suffer powerful cyberattacks, and their layers of defenses were constantly breached.
"Boss, the other side is too strong."
"We're afraid we can't last much longer. We either agree to their conditions or we can only disconnect from the internet."
"Otherwise, our important information will be leaked."
Someone next to Taro Sato said.
Taro Sato cursed inwardly and said, "Contact them. We agree to remove the bounty on Lin Chen, and we won't accept any more missions targeting him in the future."
"Yes."
Soon, their people sent out the information.
The tidal wave of attacks quickly receded, and Taro Sato breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, their website returned to normal.
Lin Chen's bounty was also removed.
Many forces knew about the Sakura Network's attack, and the news spread quickly among some forces. Lin Chen's name became known to many assassin organizations.
Many assassin organizations added Lin Chen's name to the whitelist.
They don't accept orders for targets on the whitelist. They won't have a good outcome if they kill someone like that.
The Sakura Network is strong enough to withstand it, but those with weaker strength might have their secrets completely exposed.
Some assassin organizations didn't add Lin Chen to the whitelist, but if there was a bounty to kill him, the price would be much higher.
"Ding ding!"
Lin Chen received another call from Tian Lang.
"Mr. Lin, good news."
"The Sakura Organization bowed its head and removed the bounty, and they agreed not to accept any more bounties targeting you."
Tian Lang said, "This news has spread on the dark web. It's estimated that other organizations will also react, and the chances of you encountering bounty assassinations in the future will be greatly reduced."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "It seems my life is worth more. A mere 500,000 US dollars is a bit of an insult."
Tian Lang: "..."
"Mr. Lin, you still have to be careful. Blood Sakura might continue to investigate you. Also, the person behind this bounty to kill you is still unknown."
"The mastermind might still take action."
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.
He had to find this mastermind.
A bounty to kill him, that was a blood feud! Although the assassination wasn't successful, that wasn't important at all.
"Tian Lang, you have to help me find the mastermind."
Lin Chen said.
Tian Lang: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will definitely investigate such illegal behavior. It's just that if the other party doesn't take any further action, it will be difficult to find them. We need more time."
"Okay."
Lin Chen finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Twenty minutes later, Xu Mengyao and the others came home.
"Wow, it smells so good."
"Daddy, what dishes did you make?"
Lin Xiaoxi ran to the kitchen and asked happily.
Lin Chen said with a smile, "They're all your favorite dishes. Xiaoxi, go wash your hands quickly. It's time to eat soon."
"Be sure to wash them clean."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Mommy, let's go wash our hands together, we'll eat soon, hee hee."
Soon, Xu Mengyao and the others ate the dishes made by Lin Chen.
They missed them so much after not eating them for several days.
At night, Lin Xiaoxi fell asleep, and Xu Mengyao lay in bed.
Lin Chen also arrived in the master bedroom after taking a shower. Xu Mengyao said with a slightly flushed face, "Husband, what do you want to do?"
Lin Chen said with a smile, "Sleep. I've decided, from now on we'll sleep in the same bed every night."
As he spoke, he hugged Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao said shyly, "Husband, it's okay for you to sleep in this bed, but sleep on Xiaoxi's side. What if Xiaoxi rolls off the bed at night?"
Lin Chen glanced at the guardrail on Lin Xiaoxi's side.
"How could Xiaoxi roll off?"
Xu Mengyao said weakly, "Husband... it's not that you can't sleep on this side, but you can't move your hands around, okay?"
"No."
