Chapter 2634: Chapter 2635: I’m Not a Saint
“I don’t know anything.”
The black-haired man panted heavily and said, “You can call the police.”
“Call the police?”
Lin Yi chuckled, “If dealing with soone like you still required calling the police, wouldn’t all these years have been wasted?”
Saying this, Lin Yi pulled out a dagger from his lower back.
“My patience is limited. Think carefully before you speak.”
The black-haired man shivered, feeling a strong killing intent emanating from Lin Yi.
Instinct told him that this man wasn’t lying; he would do as he said!
Cold sweat soaked through his clothes, his heart almost pounding out of his throat!
Suddenly!
The black-haired man’s hand reached for the window handle, suddenly opened the window, and leaped out!
“Damn!”
Lin Yi cursed!
He was on the fifth floor!
A normal person jumping down would likely die!
But for a D-level person, it wasn’t that severe!
Lin Yi rushed to the window and looked down!
He found that below was a lawn with trees planted in it.
Thanks to the cushioning from the branches, the black-haired man didn’t suffer fatal injuries.
And there were still his people below to support him. Seeing him fall, they imdiately carried him away.
“Son of a bitch!”
Lin Yi swore, his face looking as if he was about to eat soone alive.
“Calm down, there are still a few people in the Shangqing Palace. Just go back and interrogate them,” Zhang Youfu said.
“It seems this ti the opponent really ca prepared. If I weren’t here, you definitely wouldn’t have been able to handle this.”
Zhang Youfu nodded, “If you trust the people guarding the Shangqing Palace, let them take the stuff away.”
“That’s what I was thinking too. After what happened tonight, I think those lurking in the shadows will be more alert and won’t dare to co easily again.”
Lin Yi said:
“My idea is to let the Shangqing Palace operate as usual during the day and have everyone withdraw at night, using actions to demonstrate that the items have been moved. This way, they won’t co back. But you, you should be careful. Since they can’t find the statue, they’ll likely make you their next target and won’t give up easily.”
“I expected as much.” Zhang Youfu said:
“I guess if it weren’t for the failure of the Shangqing Palace’s operation, they wouldn’t have sent people over.”
“Indeed.” Lin Yi said:
“Don’t think about anything else for now. Just focus on recovering. I’ll send soone over to guard tomorrow.”
“I received news from Li Yongnian in the afternoon. He said you sent seven people over, including three won.”
“And? What do you want to say?”
“Could you have those three won co over to protect ?”
“For your safety, it’s better not to. If those three co over, they might end up killing you.”
After wrapping up the serious talk, Lin Yi lay down.
Then he called Sui Qiang, asking him to bring Zhao Yunhu to the hospital to guard the place, while he himself returned to the Shangqing Palace.
Early the next morning, around seven, the two of them arrived at the hospital.
Lin Yi gave a few instructions and then drove off.
By nine in the morning, Lin Yi had returned to the Shangqing Palace.
Compared to the usual bustling activity, the Shangqing Palace felt more deserted now.
Along the way, he encountered many disciples from the Shangqing Palace asking about Zhang Youfu’s condition.
Lin Yi didn’t hide anything and assured them of his safety.
After dealing with others, Lin Yi found Xiao Bing and the others.
“Lin Bro, you’re back.”
They gathered around, looking relaxed.
For them, this mission seed like a vacation.
“Where’s the person caught last night?”
“Brother Feng is watching. I’ll take you there.”
“Let’s go.”
Led by Xiao Bing, the group arrived at the woodshed.
Four foreigners were tightly bound, with their mouths taped over with transparent tape.
Their expressions were vacant, as if their souls had been drained.
And each had bruises all over, evidently having been beaten badly.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, fear of varying degrees appeared in their eyes.
They had experienced the might of these people last night.
Now that the leader was back, they were even more at a loss.
Lin Yi, with a nod, indicated towards the four, and understood in unison, Xiao Bing and Luo Qi tore off the tape from their mouths.
“Spill it, who sent you here, or none of you will leave.”
“We just ca to steal so stuff. Why are you holding us? What you’re doing is illegal!”
The one speaking was a young man, Hunter, who had co scouting with Lilith a few days before.
“So you recognize the law?”
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and said:
“Don’t you know that stealing is also illegal?”
“Of course we know, you can turn over to the police. We deserve fair treatnt!”
Lin Yi squatted down, grabbed Hunter’s hair, and yanked it back.
“You really think we’re saints?”
“I won’t be threatened by you. If you don’t let us go, you’ll face repercussions too!”
“You talk too damn much.”
Lin Yi pulled out the dagger from his back and stabbed Hunter in the abdon.
Ah—
Screams rang out. Hunter’s face turned pale, nearly fainting.
His three companions scread constantly, fearing they might be next.
“We’re all not innocent people here, so all this pointless talk is aningless.”
Lin Yi pulled out the dagger, blood dripping from the blade, shrouding the hearts of the four with a shadow.
“I’ll give you one minute to think. Spill everything you know, or the next stab might land on anyone,”
Blood gushed from Hunter’s abdon like a andering stream.
The remaining three trembled, not daring to breathe loudly.
“Who are you people? This is no place for you. Get out of here!”
Just then, a voice shouted from outside.
It was Gong Xiaoyun’s voice.
Before Xiao Bing could go to check what was happening, the door to the woodshed was pushed open.
Two people in uniforms, accompanied by several foreigners, walked in from outside.
“What are you doing!”
The speaker was a middle-aged foreigner nad Rochet, around fifty, very agitated seeing Hunter lying on the ground.
Lin Yi, with a cold face, surveyed them, his deanor calm and voice low:
“Who are you?”
“I’m a staff mber at the Foreign Affairs Office. What you’re doing harms international relations. I’m going to file a complaint against you!”
Learning about Rochet’s identity, everyone’s expressions changed simultaneously.
They could be sure that these four weren’t official personnel.
But they had official backing, which was enough to show that their influence was larger than imagined.
Otherwise, these people wouldn’t be involved in this matter.
The situation was more complicated than imagined.
