Chapter 1950: Sudden Death
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada walked at the front. Lin Yi arranged for the rest of the retainers to check the other rooms.
Most of these rooms were examined by Lin Yi in advance, and there was a high probability that there was no one inside.
This strategy would use up some time while creating an opportunity for Lin Yi to launch a surprise attack on room 1406.
Lin Yi’s plan wasn’t complicated: he and Kenji Nakada would handle the critical rooms 1406 and 1408, while the less crucial areas were left to the others, maximizing the chances of success and minimizing surprises.
Soon, they arrived at the door of room 1406.
Lin Yi whispered a few more instructions to Kenji Nakada to discuss the finer points of their operation.
Kenji Nakda nodded and then knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
Soon, the door opened to reveal a blonde woman with blue eyes. She was the same person Lin Yi had seen on the surveillance footage earlier.
She was the woman named Joey, as mentioned by Chen Canrong.
Joey and the other man in the room, Martin, were sent by the Freemason headquarters to a.s.sist Hongmen in this mission.
Counting their own men, there were five C-cla.s.s experts involved in this operation.
This lineup was more than capable of handling the task, but Freemasons had a.s.signed them to this mission, showcasing their immense strength and resources.
“Who are you, and what do you want?”
Joey remained very calm, showing no signs of panic.
While speaking, she sized up Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada, clearly not considering them a threat.
“We’re with the Sunrise Lands Coast Guard. We’ve received a tip that there are illegal trades happening on this ship. To prevent these items from entering Sunrise Land, we need to conduct a search.”
“Come in.”
Joey didn’t protest, as Chen Canrong had already instructed them to cooperate.
She had been told to cooperate with Sunrise Land’s coast guard inspection and not cause unnecessary trouble.
Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada entered the room and saw another man sitting on the sofa, but no one else.
When the two entered, Martin glanced up briefly before returning to his newspaper, showing no further reaction.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi became even more certain of their high skill level, possibly exceeding his own.
They conducted a thorough search, acting convincingly.
It appeared they were searching aimlessly, but in reality, Lin Yi had orchestrated it.
During the search, Lin Yi focused on the area around Martin.
Kenji Nakada, meanwhile, concentrated on the s.p.a.ce around Joey.
However, neither of them noticed this small detail.
After about ten minutes of inspection, Kenji Nakada said to Lin Yi,
“I didn’t find anything here. How’s the situation on your side?”
“I didn’t find anything either,” Lin Yi replied in standard Sunrise Landese.
This was also a secret signal between the two of them.
Kenji Nakada spoke first and used this method to inform Lin Yi that he was ready.
Lin Yi’s response was also to tell Kenji Nakada that he was ready.
If he was not ready, he would say that he would have to search for a while more.
After receiving Lin Yi’s secret signal, Kenji Nakada said to Joey,
“Sir, Madam, according to the rules of our Sunrise Land Coast Guard, we have to search the two of you. If there are no problems after that, we will leave.”
“What did you say? You want to search me?”
Joey’s expression was not good, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.
“I’m a senior engineer at Google. My boyfriend works for Microsoft. There’s no reason for either of you to suspect us of hiding contraband.”
“I’m sorry, your work means nothing to us, and we can’t clear your name. If you don’t accept the examination, I’ll bring you back to Sunrise Land for interrogation.” Lin Yi interrupted.
“Does that mean all you have to do is frisk us?” asked Martin, who was still reading the newspaper.
“Yeah, that’s the last part of the check.”
“Then let’s begin. However, I hope that you can leave quickly after the inspection. I don’t want to see you again as it will affect our rest.”
“We’re just following the rules. Please understand.”
Martin didn’t say anything else. He stood up first and stuck his hands, waiting for Lin Yi to examine him.
Seeing that Martin had stood up, Joey didn’t insist.
This was because from the beginning of the operation, Chen Canrong had already told them to cooperate with the Sunrise Land’s coast guard unconditionally.
Facing this situation, they could only obey.
After all, before the operation began, the organization had already instructed them to cooperate fully with Shianggang to complete the mission, so they had no choice.
The two of them stood there with their arms raised while Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada began their inspection.
The two of them first checked the front before turning to the back.
At this moment, Lin Yi took out the scalpel at the back of his waist and covered Martin’s mouth at lightning speed!
Then, the sharp scalpel aimed at Marton’s artery!
As soon as Lin Yi covered Martin’s mouth, the latter realized that something was wrong and responded immediately.
However, at this moment, Lin Yi’s scalpel cut his artery!
In an instant, blood spurted out of Marton’s artery like a fountain.
He widened his eyes and struggled with all his might!
Even though he had reached the C-cla.s.s and Lin Yi was only at D-cla.s.s, Lin Yi’s physique and other conditions were higher than Martin’s.
Therefore, even if he used all his strength to struggle, he still couldn’t break free from Lin Yi’s restraint.
In just half a minute, Martin was like a deflated ball. His stamina was rapidly depleting, and he soon lost the ability to struggle. He fell to the ground and died on the spot!
Meanwhile, Kenji Nakada moved almost in sync with Lin Yi.
Although he had reached D-cla.s.s, his overall abilities were significantly lower than Lin Yi’s, being roughly on par with Tao Cheng.
Because of this, his actions were half a beat slower than Lin Yi’s.
This split-second delay gave Joey just enough time to react!
“d.a.m.n it!”
Joey’s rage erupted like a volcano!
She hadn’t antic.i.p.ated this ambush.
The unique tactics of the Huaxians caught her off guard.
Cursing, Joey immediately turned to fight back!
However, despite her slight reaction time, it wasn’t enough!
Kenji Nakada’s dagger struck her, but it didn’t sever Joey’s artery!
In the chaotic moment, she even managed to kick Kenji Nakada.
But then, Lin Yi threw his dagger!
It struck Joey’s throat squarely!
With that, both of Freemasons C-cla.s.s experts met their demise.
