Quickly, the remaining people were subdued and escorted onto the ship by Team Four.
Lin Yi and the other three boarded the helicopter, preparing to first return to the Central Guards Brigade.
Upon arrival at the airport, the Central Guards Brigade’s vehicle was already waiting there, ready to take the four back to the base.
"You guys go back first; we have other matters to handle."
After sending Chen Zhiyi into the car, Lin Yi said.
"Not coming back with us?" Chen Zhiyi asked, surprised.
"We’ll wait a bit longer; you all go ahead."
Finishing his words, Lin Yi closed the car door and said to the driver:
"First, take Team Leader Chen back."
"Got it."
The driver responded and then drove away.
"Let’s go to the airport."
Signaling with a beckon, Lin Yi called for a car to head to Jing City’s airport.
Meanwhile, Team One had gathered there.
Lin Yi’s private plane was also ready.
"Let’s go, set off for Ice City."
Although no specific route was planned, everyone understood the mission’s objective.
First, depart for Ice City, then proceed to Heishui City; thus, the destination wouldn’t be far.
Team One boarded the plane one after another.
Just after checking in, Liu Hong called.
"Where are you, hurry back."
"The mission’s not over yet, I’ll take the team over."
"Even if you go, it’s not now; you should come back first."
"This matter can’t be delayed." Lin Yi said:
"If we lose time, it’ll be hard to catch him later; wait for my news at the brigade."
On the other end of the line, Liu Hong was silent for a long time.
"You go ahead, I’ll send Team Four to support you afterward."
This time, Lin Yi was the one who fell silent.
"If possible, it’d be best if we handle it ourselves." Lin Yi said:
"This matter is closely related to Team One, but not much to the Central Guards Brigade."
Liu Hong was well aware of Lin Yi’s situation.
Also, he knew the cause of the issue stemmed from the Research Institute under his command.
In other words, without the Research Institute,
there might not be so many issues today.
Chen Zhiyi’s attack would have been much simpler in nature.
So he understood Lin Yi’s thoughts.
"Stop saying what’s useless, regardless of the reason, Team One’s matters are Central Guards Brigade’s matters."
"Okay."
At this time, Lin Yi didn’t want to argue too much; collaborating would also reduce the risks.
Subsequently, the two discussed the details further and then ended the call.
The other members of Team One were all checking their gear and weapons, wiping them repeatedly with clean towels.
No one spoke a word; as the distance closed, the killing intent on their faces grew stronger.
About two hours later, the plane landed at the airport.
The plane stopped for over twenty minutes, handled the flight route matters, then took off again, heading for Heishui City.
This leg of the journey was relatively short; in less than an hour, they landed at the airport.
Meanwhile, they changed into thicker clothes to withstand the bitter cold of minus thirty degrees.
With his connections, Lin Yi already arranged a car, waiting at the airport.
"Mr. Lin Yi, the car is ready."
The person greeting them was a woman in her thirties, wearing a white, one-piece down jacket, with perfectly applied makeup.
Seeing Lin Yi come out, she warmly approached him.
