"I trust you to handle this matter."
Liang Xianghe said:
"Once you catch them, interrogate them thoroughly. There might be others who are also dirty."
"Indeed, it needs a thorough investigation."
"Alright, go handle your business." Liang Xianghe said:
"The impact of this incident won’t be small. I’ll handle the follow-up matters, you all just focus on capturing the people."
"Understood."
After instructing Liang Xianghe, Lin Yi returned to his car.
It was already past three in the afternoon.
Intel from Team One had started coming back one after another.
The whereabouts of the He Shuchun brothers were completely locked down.
They were like lambs to the slaughter, unable to escape even if they wanted to.
The next task was dealing with the KT Bar.
It’s a base of God’s Army and must be cleared out, although it will take so ti.
Ring ring ring—
At that mont, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was Xiao Bing calling.
"Boss, we’ve locked down the whereabouts of the KT Bar owner."
"Alright, hold your position for now. Follow my instructions for the rest."
"Understood."
All matters have been fully investigated, now it’s just a matter of timing for the capture.
The only hassle is the KT Bar.
This is their stronghold, and there are surely no few people involved.
It’s unrealistic to catch them all in one day.
Just catch the owner first; the rest we’ll deal with later.
Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the table, reviewing everything once more.
Only after ensuring there were no oversights did he feel assured.
Then, Lin Yi made calls to Qiu Yuluo and Tao Cheng.
He could handle the He brothers himself, but the KT Bar was just right for them to tackle.
They should get so of the credit too.
...
Excellent Era Communications is located in the pri CBD area of Jing City.
As the largest dia company in the country, the resources it holds are beyond imagination for ordinary people.
It’s also a frequent hangout for paparazzi and fans.
With enough patience, spotting a celebrity here is quite easy.
The largest shareholder of this company is He Shudong.
He has enough influence to impact the entire entertainnt industry.
It’s even said that the release of a movie depends on his nod.
So many filmmakers, upon arriving in Jing City, first pay respects here.
Otherwise, they find themselves at a standstill.
In the office, the He brothers sat on the sofa.
"Big brother, did they say what they’re looking for for?" He Shuchun asked.
"No, they just ntioned it’s sothing important they need to discuss with you."
He Shudong, sitting beside him, was skinny, with short hair, a stern expression, and seed a bit intimidating.
"The Chieftain being brought back indicates her mission failed. eting at this ti is too risky."
He Shudong glanced at him, "What kind of risk are you referring to?"
"A lot has happened recently, frequent contact might easily get noticed."
"You’re just eting for a drink, what could happen?" He Shudong said:
"I suspect the urgency stems from repeated plan failures. Just express your thoughts and suggest not contacting again soon."
He Shuchun nodded, sharing the sa thoughts.
"These recent events were all orchestrated by that Lin Yi, right?"
"Indeed, without her, everything would’ve proceeded smoothly," He Shuchun said:
"She’s called the rit Team Leader for a reason."
"A troubleso intruder," He Shudong sneered.
"With support from Liang Xianghe and her accolades, she’s untouchable for us."
"Don’t worry, I wasn’t planning on confronting her."
With that, He Shudong stood up.
"I have a dinner engagent tonight. Call when you’re done."
"Alright."
...
Ti flew by, and around five thirty, Lin Yi drove to pick up Liang Ruoxu from work.
"Is there another mission? Haven’t seen you since you got back." Liang Ruoxu asked upon getting in the car.
Lin Yi hadn’t ntioned anything about him and Liang Xianghe to her.
Moreover, it wouldn’t have made any difference.
"Just wrapping up so loose ends, need to handle them."
"Is everything taken care of now?"
"Not yet, still busy for a bit at night."
"You always seem so mysterious."
Liang Ruoxu didn’t ask much about the Central Guards Brigade matters.
Many things were classified; even family mbers couldn’t pry too much.
Back ho, dinner was already set on the table.
It was rare that both Liang Cunxiao and Shen Shuyi had no dinner engagents, allowing for a lively family al.
Around seven, noticing the ti, Lin Yi laid down his chopsticks:
"Dad, Mom, I have sothing to do. I’ll be going out for a bit, will be back later."
"Perfect timing, I’ll go with you, need to buy a pack of cigarettes," Liang Cunxiao said.
Lin Yi paused montarily.
Typically, his father-in-law’s cigarettes were supplied internally, not needing a purchase.
The fact he wanted to buy them himself ant sothing was up.
"Sure."
They both put on their shoes and left, getting into the elevator together.
"Dad, do you have sothing to say?"
"Are you about to make a move?"
"At eight."
"Nothing much, just a reminder," Liang Cunxiao said:
"The He family has so influence, if soone cos pleading afterward, regardless of who, don’t give them any face."
Hearing this, Lin Yi understood the purpose behind Liang Cunxiao tagging along.
It was a show of support.
"Understood," Lin Yi smiled and said:
"What if they offer sothing?"
Lin Yi had already grasped the nuances of the situation.
The He family likely didn’t have great ties with the Liang family, or they might even be on opposing sides.
Otherwise, this situation wouldn’t occur.
However, there’s no absolute; with enough benefit, anything could be negotiated.
"Nothing will work."
Liang Cunxiao patted Lin Yi’s shoulder, "Just follow the normal procedures."
"Alright then."
Lin Yi said:
"Dad, there’s still the capture work; when the ti cos, send so people over."
"Let’s pass on this; business concerning your Central Guards Brigade isn’t sothing we should get involved in, or rumors might spread."
"Got it."
Before leaving, Liang Cunxiao gave a few more pieces of advice, then Lin Yi drove off.
At 7:48, he arrived at the KT Bar.
Lin Yi had so impression of this bar; he had drunk there before.
Upon reflection, it felt a bit ironic.
Buzz buzz buzz—
The car’s radio crackled with static.
"Boss, in about ten minutes, He Shuchun will arrive at the KT Bar," Zhang Chaoyue said.
"Good."
After the short exchange, Lin Yi set the radio aside, quietly monitoring every move around the bar.
About ten minutes later, a black A6 parked in front of the bar.
A smile curved on Lin Yi’s lips, like a fish on the hook.
