Because before the action, they had already contacted someone from the embassy to wait at the airport.
Upon arriving at the airport, they made contact with the other party immediately.
“Team Leader Lin, thank you for your hard work.”
The speaker was a middle-aged man named Zhao He Ping, the person responsible for picking up Lin Yi at the airport.
“Director Zhao, everything is here, please make sure it’s sent back to the country as soon as possible.”
After speaking, Lin Yi handed the black bag in his hand to Zhao He Ping, his tone serious.
The reason for doing this was that the items they had could not be taken on the plane.
As soon as they passed security, any anomalies would be detected, causing a lot of trouble.
However, by handing them over to the staff here, they had their own channels to safely send the items back to the country.
And this was a conventional method for executing missions overseas.
“Don’t worry, I guarantee the task will be completed.”
“Thank you, Director Zhao.”
“You’re the ones who’ve worked hard, doing so much for the country,” Zhao He Ping said seriously.
“It’s our duty to serve the people.”
“You little rascal.”
Zhao He Ping chuckled, “Hurry up, the plane is waiting for you, the sooner you leave, the safer it will be.”
“Okay.”
After a brief exchange, Lin Yi and Yu Siying boarded a private plane through the business channel.
At this point, they could almost confirm their safety.
Because everyone on the plane was their own people, even if William sent people after them, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly, or it would lead to an international dispute, which he wasn’t capable of handling.
Soon, the plane taxied down the runway and began taking off.
As the plane sped towards the dark sky and the buildings on the ground grew smaller, this mission spanning thousands of miles officially came to a close.
But Lin Yi did not know that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching.
About thirteen hours later, at around three in the morning Yanjing time, the two got off the plane at Yanjing Airport.
Setting foot back on their own country’s soil filled them with affection.
The ones who came to pick them up were Qiu Yuluo and a group of people, and due to their special status, they were allowed entry without having to wait outside the terminal.
“Boss, you’re finally back, I knew if it was you, there wouldn’t be anything that couldn’t be done.”
Luo Qi joyfully rushed forward, giving Lin Yi a big hug.
“Sister Ying, you’ve been lurking abroad for so long, making great contributions to this mission, I—Zhang Chaoyue—am proud of you, hug!”
“Hug your grandmother’s leg, get out of here.”
Zhang Chaoyue: …
The Central Guards Brigade are all night owls, and even though it was early morning, none of them felt sleepy.
Qiu Yuluo took them to Gui Street to have a big feast.
…
In Rochester, M Country.
Half an hour after Lin Yi left, the person guarding outside noticed something was wrong.
He knew William came here to retrieve the statue.
But over half an hour had passed with no movement inside, making those guarding outside uneasy, feeling something unusual was happening.
“The boss hasn’t come out for so long, could there be a problem?” a black bodyguard asked.
“Probably not. If there was a problem, he would have come out to call for help. It’s impossible for there to be no sound at all,” a white bodyguard said.
Although suspicious, neither of the two moved recklessly.
The fundamental reason was still because of William’s strictness.
Everyone knew William had a bad temper, and violating his orders would result in severe punishment.
Thus, another half hour passed with still no movement.
At this point, the nine people guarding outside were trying hard to stand firm.
Their instincts were telling them that something was very wrong.
The nine gathered and finally came up with a plan to send two people in to take a look.
If it was indeed a misunderstanding and they upset the boss, they’d bear the responsibility together.
The two selected bodyguards walked towards the interior of the Research Institute.
As soon as they reached the stairway, they saw the bodies of two comrades, and their faces changed immediately.
