Chapter 2114: The Final Island

“Shouldn’t be the case,” Qiu Yuluo responded.
“If something had really happened to Lin Yi, the Freemasons wouldn’t have missed the chance to make a move. They would have publicly broadcasted the news by now. It’s been more than ten hours, and there’s been no word. That’s not possible if they had him.”
Both sides understood well that this was an unprecedented clash.
Since the conflict hadn’t escalated into a full-blown crisis, whoever suffered losses would have to endure it quietly.
If the Freemasons had truly captured Lin Yi, they wouldn’t care about his status as a team leader in the Central Guard Brigade.
To put it bluntly, they might have dismembered him without hesitation.
As Qiu Yuluo said, if Lin Yi had been captured, the news would have spread globally in a matter of hours.
“That’s exactly the problem. The mission is complete, but there’s been no news. What on earth is he up to?” Ning Che remarked.
“If we could figure out what he’s doing, he wouldn’t be Lin Yi,” Qiu Yuluo quipped.
“That guy is impossible to deal with,” Liu Hong muttered, puffing on his cigarette.
“I’ve given up trying,” Qiu Yuluo added.
“We should just wait for news. Lin Yi isn’t the kind of person to act recklessly. If the situation spirals out of control, he’ll contact us. No point overthinking it.”
Neither Liu Hong nor Ning Che said anything further. At this point, they truly had no options.
But one thing was certain—if Lin Yi was keeping such a low profile, he was likely planning something else.
And when it surfaced, it would undoubtedly shock everyone.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
At that moment, Qiu Yuluo’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw it was an unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, she answered.
“Hello, this is Qi Xianzhao from Lingyun Group.”
Recognizing the voice, Qiu Yuluo instinctively switched the phone to speaker.
“President Qi, do you have news about Lin Yi?”
“Yes,” Qi Xianzhao confirmed.
“President Lin just called me. He asked us to file a lawsuit against Samsung Group because of some inappropriate behavior from Lee Yongchul at the banquet towards President Ji.”
“Lin Yi contacted you?!”
Qiu Yuluo exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes. He explained this matter and then hung up.”
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che only had a general understanding of what had happened at the banquet.
It seemed that Samsung’s Lee Yongchul had shown improper intentions toward Ji Qingyan, and Lin Yi had intervened, giving him a severe lesson.
Given Samsung’s global influence, it was certain they would pursue the matter.
Lin Yi’s decision to file a lawsuit was likely a move to preemptively strike and gain an upper hand. It wasn’t difficult to understand.
“Did Lin Yi say anything else?”
Qiu Yuluo’s expression eased, knowing that if Lin Yi could make a call, his situation was stable. There was no need to worry.
“Nothing else was said.” Qi Xianzhao said.
“But from his tone, he sounded relaxed, not like he was in any danger.”
“That’s good to hear,” Qiu Yuluo replied.
“If you get any more updates, be sure to let us know.”
“Will do.”
After hanging up, the trio in the car breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Their worry subsided somewhat, but Lin Yi’s intentions remained a mystery.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Barely a few minutes had passed before Liu Hong’s phone rang. Since he was driving, he switched the call to speaker without thinking.
“Boss, the Grande Orient building in Faguo is on fire.”
“What?!”
All three in the car froze in shock.
Due to the nature of their mission, they knew exactly what the Grande Orient building represented!
It was the headquarters of the Freemasons in Paree!
It carried the same symbolic weight as the Freemason building in Lundun.
“I know what Lin Yi is doing!”
Ning Che slapped her thigh in realization. “Lin Yi isn’t just targeting the Freemason building in Lundun—he’s going after their other headquarters too!”
