As he spoke, Lin Yi made a swift move and kicked the gun out of Robel’s hand, then subdued him.
"Since I’ve got my eye on you, don’t even think about running away."
"What... what are you going to do?"
"It’s already come to this point, asking such questions is just playing dumb."
Lin Yi grabbed Robel by the hair and lifted him up.
"Don’t worry, we’ll settle our scores slowly."
Meanwhile, Li Ji rushed over with his team.
"It has to be you, catching him this quickly."
"It’s all thanks to the people here giving me face, if they hadn’t helped, it would’ve been a bit troublesome to catch him," Lin Yi said with a smile:
"First, take him back, then interrogate him along with everyone else I catch," Lin Yi said:
"Also, this person’s identity is not simple, make sure to watch him closely to prevent him from committing suicide."
"Alright, is there anything else to instruct? Just in time to handle it all at once."
"That’s all for now, after working all night, you guys should take a break," Lin Yi said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work tonight."
"No big deal, we’re not outsiders, and this is our job after all," Li Ji said:
"If there’s nothing else, we’ll head out, see you soon."
"Okay."
After finishing the business, Lin Yi drove away, heading to Huaqing Lake for some Big Treasure Sword.
As dawn was breaking, Lin Yi called Liu Hong and recounted the events.
"This might just be one of their hideouts, keep investigating, we should be able to catch the big fish."
"The big fish definitely exist, I’ll report this matter first," Lin Yi said:
"And this issue is more complex than imagined."
"Complex?"
Liu Hong’s tone turned serious as well.
If Lin Yi says something like this, the situation couldn’t be simple.
Then, Lin Yi explained the events along with the pharmaceutical matters to Liu Hong.
After hearing it, Liu Hong also became unusually serious.
"How did you come up with this?"
"Just fiddling around, and you know I used to be a doctor."
"With Mammon’s style, once they get their hands on this, it wouldn’t be possible to snatch it back."
"Indeed, that’s my problem," Lin Yi said:
"But even if they want to develop this, it’s not going to be easy; the ultimate effect of the drug is unclear, but I’ll research it later."
"Now’s not the time to worry about this; eliminating the hidden base is the current priority," Liu Hong said:
"Do you have enough manpower there? I can send you some people."
"We’re good on manpower; our team can handle it," Lin Yi said:
"The immediate task is to analyze the documents taken from the Research Institute, then interrogate and follow the clues."
"What a coincidence," Liu Hong said:
"Chen Zhiyi seems to still be in Zhong Hai, I’ll have her contact you; she’s an expert in this area and could provide significant assistance."
"Hmm? She hasn’t left?"
"Not yet," Liu Hong said:
"Though, I heard about your meeting; it seemed quite unpleasant."
"Like a crazy person, actually wanted me to take her to the island. Does she think our team is free?"
"Don’t react too strongly; right now, the problem is indeed tricky, Elder Liang is considering this matter as well because if the research drags on for too long, it’s no good for anyone."
"Let other teams go; our team is not going."
"Don’t be impulsive, always prioritize the bigger picture," Liu Hong said:
"I know you’re worried she’ll become a burden to your team, but consider that if the island’s issue isn’t resolved in the coming years, how many brothers from the Central Guard Brigade would perish there?"
"If the research on ore continues to drag on, another Chen Shengli could emerge, and your team might still face combat casualties."
Liu Hong said:
"Furthermore, your team is already monitored as a key target by major organizations; if combat casualties increase again in the Central Guard Brigade in the future, your team’s likelihood is greatest."
Liu Hong’s words left Lin Yi silent.
In truth, what Liu Hong said was known by everyone in the Central Guard Brigade, including Lin Yi himself.
