Chapter 2127: Humiliation and Revelation of Shortcomings
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Talking to smart people like you is always easier,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Alright. Ha Jeonwoo will bring people over soon. He’ll handle the details with you.”
“No problem.”
After hanging up, Ning Che walked in.
“What should we do with these people? Just let them go?”
“Keeping them won’t do any good, and we can’t hold them either,” Lin Yi replied.
“But we should make the most of it. Letting them go just like that would be a waste.”
“W-what are you going to do?”
Kang Donghae’s face was full of fear.
If he could, he would have jumped off the ship.
“You’re really quite stupid. Even the Freemasons’ headquarters couldn’t do anything to . What do you think you are?” Lin Yi said, casually holding up his phone.
“You and your n are of no use to . I can throw you into the sea to feed the fish, or I can let you go. It’s your choice.”
“P-please, let go.”
“Sure, I can let you go. Just answer one question.”
“W-what question…?”
“The fire at the Freemasons’ building in Rania—who did it?”
“Huh?”
Kang Donghae’s eyes widened in disbelief. It was clearly Lin Yi who had done it, yet he was asking him?
“Think carefully before you answer,” Lin Yi said coldly.
Kang Donghae shivered, feeling the killing intent radiating from Lin Yi.
He knew that this man was even more ruthless than the two won with him.
“It was—it was . I did it.”
“Now that’s the right answer.”
Lin Yi pointed his phone’s cara at Kang Donghae and asked again,
“Who set fire to the Freemasons’ building in Rania?”
“It was . I did it.”
“And who set fire to the other Freemason buildings?”
“It was . I did all of it.”
Lin Yi turned off the cara. “You’re quick on your feet for a gang boss. We’re even now. Good luck.”
Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo exchanged smiles. They knew exactly what Lin Yi was up to.
The video he had just recorded would definitely be spread through certain channels.
It would send a ssage to anyone quietly watching from the shadows that it was Kang Donghae who set fire to the Freemasons’ buildings, and it had nothing to do with the Central Guard Brigade.
The Freemasons would have no choice but to swallow their anger and keep the matter to themselves.
It was a move that not only embarrassed them but also exposed their weakness.
Lin Yi’s tactics were as ruthless as ever.
Before long, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Ha Jeonwoo entered with his n.
His face was grim, and his expression toward Lin Yi was filled with discomfort and bewildernt.
“Mr. Lin…”
“Your boss already called . You guys handle things here. We’re leaving now.”
“Understood. We’ll take care of everything.”
Lin Yi nodded and didn’t bother to say more. He led Ning Che, Qiu Yuluo, and the suitcase off the ship.
By this ti, Lee Yongjin’s backup ferry had docked at the port. People were already beginning to board.
The three of them mingled with the crowd, boarding the ship quietly, and made their way to their cabin.
Once they were settled, the ferry set sail for Huaxia.
About four hours later, the group arrived at the port in Qingdao.
Waiting for them outside were three military vehicles, sent specifically to pick up Lin Yi and his team.
“Welco, Sir!”
The lead soldier saluted Lin Yi and the others upon their arrival.
“We’re all on the sa side. No need to be so formal.”
Lin Yi pointed at the suitcase. “There’s soone inside—he’s a prisoner I captured. You’re responsible for escorting him to Yanjing.”
“There’s soone in there?”
Lin Yi nodded.
The lead soldier instinctively opened the suitcase, revealing Gill inside.
But they were startled to see that there was also a severed finger inside the suitcase.
“Don’t touch the ring on that finger. It’s a small bomb. Best to have a professional take care of it.”
“Understood!”
After a brief exchange, Lin Yi, Ning Che, and Qiu Yuluo got into one of the cars. The others escorted Gill to the military airport.
The journey was uneventful. By the ti everything was settled and they returned to the Central Guard Brigade, it was already past three in the afternoon.
“You’re finally back.”
Liu Hong greeted the three of them with a deep sense of relief.
“Don’t get all sentintal on . A pay raise would an more than words,” Lin Yi joked.
“Any one of you three is richer than . Why bother with a raise?” Liu Hong replied.
“But honestly, you’ve all done a great job. I’ll be sure to report this to the higher-ups.”
“No rush,” Qiu Yuluo said.
“We’ve captured soone from the Freemasons. Once we interrogate him, I’m sure we’ll find plenty of useful information.”
“Don’t worry. He won’t escape,” Liu Hong assured them.
“Let’s go. I’ll arrange a dinner tonight to celebrate your return.”
“It’s rare to see you so generous. I’ll make sure to take full advantage tonight,” Lin Yi said with a laugh. “I’m going to milk you for every penny.”
Although the mission had been completed by Lin Yi, Ning Che, and Qiu Yuluo, Liu Hong extended the invitation to the other seven mbers of the brigade as well, making it a team-wide celebration.
After the gathering ended, it was already late into the night. Lin Yi and Ning Che checked into a hotel.
They slept peacefully, doing nothing but resting.
Of course, their morning exercise routine remained as vigorous as ever.
By noon, while the two were having lunch, Lin Yi’s phone rang.
It was a call from Qin Han.
“Where the hell have you been? You disappeared after borrowing my private jet.”
Previously, during Lin Yi’s operations in Ouzhou, he had used Qin Han’s private jet to cover his tracks and ensure his safety.
“There was so business to handle in Yanjing. I’ll be heading back soon,” Lin Yi said as he ate.
“What’s up? Sothing happen?”
“It’s just your usual drama,” Qin Han said.
“Old Gao set up a dinner at Ji Qingyan’s house. When are you coming back?”
“At Ji Qingyan’s house?”
“Yeah. He said he wants to eat Auntie’s cooking. We’re planning to crash her place and, you know, maybe give you so alone ti,” Qin Han teased.
“And Auntie herself said she specifically wants you there.”
“Wow, you’re a real bro. I’ll head back this afternoon.”
“Good. Don’t be late.”
After hanging up, Ning Che looked at Lin Yi. “You’re heading back to Zhonghai?”
Lin Yi nodded. “Everything here is settled. It’s ti to go back.”
Ning Che’s eyes flashed with mischief, and a sly smile spread across her face. “Then let’s skip the rest of lunch.”
“What for? I’m not even done eating.”
“What do you think?” Ning Che stood up. “You’re leaving soon. Let’s have so fun before you go.”
“You’re unbelievable!”
