Chapter 2248: Chapter 2249: The Clown
Under the psychological offensive of Lin Yi, Lee Yongjin could no longer be sure.
Should she admit to this matter in front of Lin Yi?
That’s how the two of them remained at an impasse.
For the long duration of half a minute, neither of them spoke.
At last, Lee Yongjin deflated.
“I want to know where you got your information from.”
...
“That’s not important.”
Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief—he’d gambled correctly!
“But to ask us to give up our research on the serum, that’s impossible,” Lee Yongjin said without leaving any leeway.
“Don’t be so resolute; whether you research or not is up to you, I’m not in a position to interfere,” Lin Yi said indifferently,
“I’m just here to kill Li Zhenquan and his son Li Yinghong.”
“You’re going after Li family father and son!”
Lee Yongjin raised her voice, finding it sowhat unbelievable.
“That’s correct, so no matter what you think, both of them have to die,” Lin Yi explained,
“I didn’t call to negotiate with you, just to inform you due to so personal relations.”
“Sorry, whether you want to discuss it with or just inform , I cannot agree to that.”
“Given our personal relationship, I made this call; if you’re going to stop , I’ll take you down as well!”
“You dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Lin Yi said calmly, as if talking about sothing utterly mundane.
“If I rember correctly, you’re wearing a beige coat and black tights today. I won’t say anything more, but if I want, you won’t be able to leave the Samsung building.”
“You actually—”
In an instant, Lee Yongjin’s body stiffened; she realized that she stood no chance against this man.
Lee Yongjin let out a heavy sigh, “The gene serum is a project the Li family has been working on secretly for many years, and we just happen to need the data they have on hand. It’s fine if you want to kill Li Zhenquan and his son, but could you give so ti to retrieve their core technology?”
“No,” Lin Yi replied firmly, “I don’t like to harbor grudges overnight. As soon as I confird their whereabouts, I planned to head to Korea.”
“If that’s the case, then you need to do a favor and help get the information out of them.”
“I’ll do my best.”
“Call when you arrive. I’ll co pick you up from the airport.”
“Alright, we’ll talk more when we et.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi called Ji Qingyan to inform her about his trip to Korea.
She didn’t say much, assuming Lin Yi was dealing with project matters, so she didn’t press further.
After making quick preparations, Lin Yi drove to the airport, taking a bit over three hours, and then arrived in Seoul.
Due to a one-hour ti difference, it was already past five in the evening in Seoul when he got off the plane.
Lee Yongjin kept her word and arrived at the airport to personally pick up Lin Yi.
Catching sight of Lee Yongjin, Lin Yi muttered under his breath.
Damn, she’s really full of charm.
“Let’s go.”
Lee Yongjin impressively drove her car into the airport and picked up Lin Yi.
“Where are the two of them?”
“They’re at one of the Li family’s villas.”
“How far have your negotiations reached?”
“It’s pretty much settled,” Lee Yongjin said,
“To build a complete production line, at least 14 billion USD is needed, hence the financial strain.”
“14 billion? Did they con you?”
Lee Yongjin gracefully flipped her hair, “Eight billion has been invested in R&D. Since we’ve co this far, naturally, we have to do it well.”
Lin Yi understood what she ant.
Her idea of doing it well was to simply surpass the Mitsui Group.
In Asia, both their enterprises are massive entities that cannot be ignored.
After competing clandestinely for so many years, the Mitsui Group gained a higher social status due to the gene serum, which naturally made Lee Yongjin anxious.
It must have been a considerable investnt this ti.
“Don’t forget what we’ve agreed on; I hope you’re a person of your word.”
Lin Yi fell silent for a few seconds, “You an the core information about the serum; I’ll try my best.”
“If possible, I hope you can help get one more thing.”
“Another thing?”
Lee Yongjin looked at Lin Yi, “Can I fully trust you?”
“Of course,” Lin Yi shrugged, “At this point, who else can you trust but ?”
Lee Yongjin’s lips twitched slightly as if weighing the pros and cons of the situation.
“They also have two kilograms of ore in their possession, and I hope you can help get it.”
“Bath ore?”
Hearing this, Lin Yi was quite surprised.
The last thing he expected was for that useless father and son to flee to the Li family with the ore.
It was unbelievable.
“Yes,” Lee Yongjin continued,
“We’ve had multiple negotiations, but we’ve never co to an agreent about the ore. I hope you can help get it and not keep it for yourself.”
“I can, but there’s a condition upfront,” Lin Yi said,
“The Li family can use it themselves, but if it’s handed over, I can’t agree to that.”
“Don’t worry about that; this is Korea, where we are Samsung, and it’s different from China.”
“Then there’s no problem. But by myself, it might be difficult,” Lin Yi considered, “Let’s put on a performance.”
…
In Seoul, at the Jiangnan Villa District.
Li Zhenquan and his son sat in a spacious living room with subdued expressions, both bowing slightly.
“Just got news that the Central Guards Brigade has started clearing out Hongn, now all that’s left is an empty shell; the new leader is appointed from Yanjing, and there are no moves from the Freemasonry Headquarters in Europe,” said Li Yinghong.
Smack—
Li Zhenquan took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.
“It seems I was right; the Freemasons don’t care about our survival.”
“It’s too late to talk about that. We have received protection from the Li family, the future is safe. Forget overseas organizations, even the Freemasons would probably not dare to act rashly.”
“Li Rong has shown great sincerity and is ready to settle this matter.”
“But we must keep the core technology in our hands,” Li Zhenquan flicked ash from his cigarette, “If she gets it, our situation becos dangerous.”
Both were well aware that the danger had not been completely lifted.
Li Rong, that woman, was even more ruthless than a man!
Without any value to them, death wouldn’t be far away.
“I understand,” Li Yinghong said gravely.
Just as the father and son were talking, footsteps unexpectedly ca from outside.
Both instinctively turned around, and suddenly, they broke into a cold sweat!
They saw a person wearing all black and a clown mask.
Advancing step by step towards them!
