Chapter 2234: Chapter 2235: Abandoned
Ji Qingyan’s calm tone made it sound as though she was discussing a trivial matter of no consequence.
After she finished speaking, she turned over, leaving her back to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi stood still, wordless.
He felt a bit like laughing but also sowhat burdened.
This was the first ti Lin Yi felt the weight of responsibility.
“When I ca back just now, I think I saw soone selling glutinous rice balls on the street. I’ll buy so for you when I co back.”
...
“Get a cup of milk tea as well.”
“Sure thing.”
Lin Yi left with a smile and took a taxi to the hospital.
The rest of Group One were resting, only Yang Chaoyue ca alone.
Besides that, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were also staying here without leaving.
When he arrived at the hospital, Yu Siying and Zhao Yunhu had already woken up, just feeling a bit weak.
Yu Siying was alright, speaking without issues, but Zhao Yunhu could only move slightly and needed more ti to recover.
“Neither of you move around.” Lin Yi told Yu Siying, “Now is not the ti to be active. Just lie down in bed honestly.”
Lin Yi checked the two of them again, all their vitals seed quite good.
There shouldn’t be any lasting effects.
After checking their condition, Lin Yi and the four others moved to the corridor.
“Where are the things you brought back and the two people you caught?”
“They were handed over to Secretary He for handling, and the items have already been sent back to Yanjing.”
“Good, I want to see those two people,” said Lin Yi,
“Also, they’re both out of danger now. Later, negotiate with the hospital to transfer them to Zhong Hai. This place is sowhat lacking.”
“I’ll arrange it now.”
After giving instructions for the main tasks, Lin Yi took a taxi to He Jiaxing’s office, familiarly making his way to his office.
“Uncle He, we et again.”
“I heard there was an incident in your group, and I was about to co over. How are things now?”
“The surgery was quite successful, everything’s stable,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“Things over at Pengcheng are also good, right? No one’s been causing trouble anymore?”
“You really did us a huge favor there.” He Jiaxing said, sighing,
“The people who used to openly or secretly oppose have cald down a lot since the incident. They’ve even beco much more polite. I guess it’ll last for a while.”
“That’s good.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Yi steered the conversation to the main topic.
“Our team mbers said that the two suspects caught yesterday were brought to you. I’d like to go see them.”
“Sure, I’ll take you there.”
“No need for trouble, I’m not an outsider,” Lin Yi said with a smile,
“Just anyone will do.”
“How could I do that? After such a big incident, I wouldn’t feel comfortable sending soone else. Let co with you.”
Seeing He Jiaxing insist, Lin Yi didn’t refuse anymore, and the two of them went off to the detention center.
On the way, Lin Yi’s face was gloomy, his expression murderous!
…
Shianggang, Dongfang Wenhua Hotel.
Ever since becoming the leader of the Hongn, Li Zhenquan had taken a presidential suite here as his long-term residence.
From last night until now, he had stayed in the room, not going out.
There hadn’t been any news from Ruan Wentong, and this left him restless for a long ti.
Zzzt zzzt—
The sound of electricity buzzed as the door opened.
A young man entered from outside.
He bore a resemblance to Li Zhenquan, wearing a pair of glasses, conveying a refined appearance.
His na was Li Yinghong, Li Zhenquan’s son.
He had been studying abroad before.
According to his plans, he had intended for his son to eventually settle abroad.
But after Fang Dezhong’s incident and becoming the leader of Hongn, he changed his mind and brought his son back.
He and Fang Dezhong had similar self-serving thoughts.
He hoped that his son would take over his role in the future and beco the new leader of Hongn, ensuring the family’s continued prosperity.
Therefore, Li Yinghong had already started to take over Hongn’s operations, mainly responsible for the developnt of the E-class serum.
“Any news from Ruan Wentong?”
Li Yinghong shook his head, “I guess sothing might have happened.”
Li Zhenquan’s deanor was very calm, seemingly anticipating such an event.
Since it was originally a very risky move, it was understandable that sothing had happened.
“Dad, we can’t count on him returning now. Our situation is extrely dangerous. The Central Guard Brigade definitely knows it was us. It won’t be long before they take action against Hongn. We should call the headquarters now to report the situation here and see how it’s best to handle it.”
Li Zhenquan hesitated a bit, but eventually took out his smartphone.
At this point, other than calling Evans, he had no other choice.
Holding the phone, Li Zhenquan dialed Evans’ number.
“Mr. Evans.”
“How’s the situation on your end? Was it successful?” Evans’ voice was deep.
He showed no emotional fluctuation.
“So far, we still haven’t made contact with Ruan Wentong. It’s been such a long ti, I think the plan likely failed, and he might have been captured by the people from the Central Guards Brigade.”
Evans was silent for a mont.
“Destroy all the research materials at the lab. Don’t leave anything the Central Guard can use.”
“Okay,” Li Zhenquan responded,
“What about us? Should we head to the headquarters?”
“Not for now,” said Evans,
“Stay in Shianggang for the ti being. There might still be a turnaround in the situation. I need to consult with headquarters on what to do next.”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenquan’s expression grew grim but he still managed to squeeze out a smile.
“Understood, we’ll wait for your news.”
Evans hung up first, but Li Zhenquan’s face contorted with rage, furiously smashing his phone on the floor.
Seeing his father’s sudden change, Li Yinghong sensed sothing was wrong.
“Dad, what did the Master say?”
“He told us to destroy the materials and continue staying in Shianggang, waiting for news.”
Li Yinghong’s expression changed, understanding what that ant.
For the Freemasons, the results from the laboratory were the most important.
Yet they didn’t order an evacuation, implying that the Shianggang Branch of Hongn was not in their plans.
Issuing such an order indicated they were abandoning the Shianggang Branch.
In other words, they were discarded.
“Dad, continuing like this isn’t the solution. Every minute we wait now, our risk increases by a minute. We need to find a way to evacuate quickly.”
“But under the current circumstances, there’s literally no place for us to escape to.”
Li Zhenquan was well aware that if they were to flee, they’d be left with nothing but their money.
Under absolute military power, no force would offer them asylum.
Because at this ti, money is the most useless thing.
“No, we still have one bargaining chip,” Li Yinghong stated:
