c3574: 3566: Setting the Trap

No one in the team spoke.

Instinctively, they looked at Lin Yi, waiting for his command.

"Let’s go."

Lin Yi replied succinctly, offering no resistance.

Under escort by over a dozen official enforcement officers,

Lin Yi and the others were taken to the airport interrogation room.

The interrogation room was small and quite basic.

The air was filled with an unpleasant odor.

Gamate raised his head slightly, and his subordinate took out handcuffs, cuffing Lin Yi and the others.

They were then placed inside the interrogation room’s iron cage.

"What are you doing here, what is your purpose?" Gamate asked.

"We’re Yan Country entrepreneurs here to explore investment opportunities."

"Who came to detain you, and what caused the conflict between you?"

"Business discussions failed, they tried to kidnap us for ransom."

"I see," Gamate replied sagely.

"Now that you understand the situation, can I leave? We have a meeting to attend back home."

"Sorry, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. You’re all too young, I’m suspicious of your identities," Gamate said, making a prohibitive gesture.

"My subordinates are already apprehending those people outside. Once they return, we’ll investigate them thoroughly, and verify both sides’ identities. Until we confirm you pose no threat, you cannot leave."

"I need to make a phone call."

"No, suspects are prohibited from making calls here."

Agat checked his watch.

"I have other matters to handle, wait for me here."

"Wait."

Lin Yi stopped Agat.

"Is there anything else?"

Lin Yi smiled, "I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"How much did they pay you?"

"Hmm?"

Agat’s expression changed. "What do you mean?"

"Just what I said on the surface, if you don’t understand, I can rephrase. How much benefit did you take from them?"

"I am an official enforcement officer. Are you accusing me of accepting bribery?"

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "Yes!"

"You people, don’t tarnish my reputation!"

"There’s no point in discussing this now."

With that, Lin Yi exerted force on his wrist, breaking free from the handcuffs.

The rest of the team did the same; the handcuffs posed little hindrance and were easily broken.

"What are you doing!"

Agat was stunned.

The panic was visible on his face, and instinctively, he reached for his gun at his waist.

"You better not move."

Swish!

Zhang Chaoyue flicked a dagger out. It grazed Agat’s cheek and embedded itself into the wall behind him.

Leaving a blood mark on his face.

Agat froze as if paralyzed by a spell.

His legs shook, not daring to move.

Lin Yi focused all his strength on his foot!

With overwhelming force, he kicked the iron door.

If it was in Yan Country, Lin Yi might have needed two kicks.

But in this place, one kick was enough.
