Morici’s expression changed instantly.
After all, nobody likes their dirty secrets being exposed!
“Do you still think I’m afraid of you at this point?”
Outraged and humiliated, Morici swung a punch at Lin Yi.
But in front of Lin Yi, he was still too weak!
Even though he was the captain of the Ghost Squad!
With a casual lift of his hand, Lin Yi caught Morici’s fist and said lightly:
“Someone as impatient as you won’t accomplish anything significant. Go back and train some more, you’re not my match.”
Lin Yi grabbed Morici’s wrist, whose expression changed to one of panic.
Both were at C-level, yet in that moment, Morici realized he had no means to resist.
It was as if all his moves were seen through.
No way to defend, no way to evade!
Ah——
A scream rang out as pain contorted Morici’s body.
“Don’t move!”
The people around aimed their guns at Lin Yi’s head; on Gerard’s order, they could turn him into a sieve.
But would Gerard dare to give the order?
The answer was no.
Even now, holding the statue, he dared not harm Lin Yi.
Alive, Lin Yi held even greater value.
Whether against the Central Guards Brigade or Lin Jingzhan.
If he died, no one knew what insane things Lin Jingzhan might do.
“Stop!” Gerard said:
“At this stage, further pointless conflict isn’t necessary.”
“Heh heh…”
Lin Yi chuckled, releasing Morici’s hand. The latter’s face was somber, his eyes on Lin Yi filled with resentment and apprehension.
“Cuff him and take him away.”
“Yes!”
The subordinates responded, then produced handcuffs, cuffed Lin Yi’s hands together, and escorted him out of the hotel.
The surroundings were silent; streetlights cast an eerie glow over the empty streets.
The chilly air gave this bustling city an extra feeling of eeriness.
“After taking him back, just lock him up and wait for me to get there,” Gerard instructed:
“Without my orders, do not harm him.”
“Understood!”
Having given the instructions, Gerard took the statue and got into the car ahead.
Morici escorted Lin Yi into the following car.
The vehicles moved slowly, but at the intersection, Gerard left with the statue, not traveling with Morici.
Inside the car, Lin Yi’s face was grim.
He hadn’t expected Gerard to leave with the statue by himself.
This didn’t match his status and would stir up suspicion.
Meanwhile, Gerard’s car had already left Lin Yi’s sight, heading down another road.
And in his car, apart from the driver, there was no one else.
“You’ve done a beautiful job, I think the organization will be very pleased,”
said the driver cheerfully, like old friends joking, unbothered by Gerard’s high rank.
“You must know, I went to great lengths to capture him,” Gerard said, lighting a cigarette:
“Mobilizing so many resources against someone so young is rather embarrassing for me.”
“He’s Lin Jingzhan’s son. Sinful blood runs in their veins. No matter the effort, defeating them is always worthwhile.”
“Indeed…”
Gerard leaned back in his seat, sighing, “Throughout the years, the world takes pride in killing Lin Jingzhan, yet no one has ever succeeded.”
“It’s because of people like that, this world is interesting.”
