Chapter 1963: Replaying the Same Tricks

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che agreed with Lin Yi’s a.n.a.lysis.

Based on the current situation, this was the only reasonable explanation.

“You all are making some a.s.sumptions,” Liu Hong interjected.

“Apart from Hongmen, there’s also Sun Yee On and 14K in Shianggang. Their influence is significant too. While their reputation might not be as prominent as Hongmen’s, their actions are even more high-profile.”

He paused before continuing.

“The a.n.a.lysis you just made could apply to Sun Yee On and 14K just as easily.”

Liu Hong’s words left the three of them in silence. It was indeed a problem.

They had too little evidence on their side. Simply concluding that it was the Hongmen who did it was indeed too far-fetched.

“I will investigate this matter personally,” Lin Yi said.

“I don’t want you to restrict my actions this time.”

Liu Hong frowned slightly. The matter had come to this point, and he knew he couldn’t restrict him at all.

Once it involved that woman, Lin Yi’s rationality escaped his emotional control.

“I can leave this matter alone, but you can’t go alone. Take the people from Team 1, consider it a training exercise,” Liu Hong said.

“This isn’t just your problem. The other side clearly targeted the Central Guard Brigade, so naturally, the Central Guard Brigade needs to handle it.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yi agreed. He then attempted to stand up, with Ning Che stepping forward to help him out of bed.

“Don’t push yourself too hard,” Liu Hong advised.

“It’s fine, just a bit numb,” Lin Yi replied, gritting his teeth.

“That serum really packs a punch. I don’t know if they mixed in some donkey kick or what, but it’s not something an average person can handle.”

“That was a C-cla.s.s serum, capable of temporarily boosting a D-cla.s.s person to C-cla.s.s. It had to be that potent,” Liu Hong said.

“The doctors said it’s a miracle you lasted that long.”

Lin Yi moved his body on the spot, feeling much better. It seemed it wouldn’t take long for him to recover fully.

But it might take some time to completely metabolize everything.

“The main issue was we underestimated them. They brought in five C-cla.s.s operatives. With such a force, they could even land on the island.”

“Five C-cla.s.s operatives? That’s quite an investment.

“On the surface, neither Sun Yee On, 14K, nor Hongmen seem capable of such strength. So, identifying the real perpetrator will require more investigation.”

“I think we’ve overlooked something,” Qiu Yuluo interjected.

“What is it?” Lin Yi asked.

“The other side knew we were from the Central Guard Brigade, yet they still took such a risky action. It shows how crucial the C-cla.s.s serum was to them. Although the serum was used by Lin Yi, do you think they’d simply abandon this matter?” Qiu Yuluo pointed out.

“The serum is gone. Even if they don’t want to give up, they might have no choice,” Ning Che said.

“Not necessarily. You weren’t on the ship, so you don’t understand those people,” Qiu Yuluo explained. “Their professional abilities were on par with ours.”

Liu Hong, “Continue.”

“We have to think about this from another perspective.”

Qiu Yuluo’s expression was serious as she displayed her powerful deductive ability.

“Right now, we have some research reports on C-cla.s.s serums. Secondly, Lin Yi’s blood and urine are also important research samples. To them, these things are equally important. I don’t think the other party will give up so easily.”

“The research report on the potion is stored at the Central Guards Brigade’s base. If they really dare to steal it, it would be no different from courting death.”

“Indeed, they probably wouldn’t dare target the report. But what about Lin Yi? Whether he’s dead or alive, he has research value,” Qiu Yuluo said, taking a deep breath.

“If I were them, I would find a way to get Lin Yi’s body to prevent the leakage of the sample.”

Qiu Yuluo’s a.n.a.lysis served as a reminder for the two. After a moment of silence, Ning Che said,

“If that’s the case, we could use the same trick again.”

“Right, arrange for Lin Yi to fake his death and lure them in!”

“d.a.m.n, why is it always me doing this kind of c.r.a.p? Can’t I ever play a living person?”

“Alright, let’s get ready now,” Liu Hong said.

“The other party is proactive; they might have already sent people over.”

“I’ll gather the hospital staff and block any information about Lin Yi, just saying he’s dead,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“I’ll send people to monitor the entrance,” Ning Che said.

“Then let’s do that. You two go prepare and block all information,” Liu Hong said.

“If your a.s.sumptions are correct, there’s a high probability the other party will come tonight. We can’t afford any mistakes.”

“Got it.”

Squeak…

Just as the three were talking, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Liang Ruoxu rushed in from outside.

In fact, she had known about this for a while and was well aware of the situation at the hospital.

The reason why she hadn’t come was because of the other woman.

She was also afraid that it would be awkward if the two of them met, so she endured it and did not come over.

As soon as he found out that Ji Qingyan had left the hospital, she rushed over immediately.

“Ruoxu is here.”

Seeing Liang Ruoxu, Liu Hong greeted her with a smile.

“Uncle Liu.” Liang Ruoxu greeted him politely.

Then, her gaze landed on Lin Yi. “How do you feel? What did the doctor say?”

“It’s fine. I’m almost recovered. Don’t worry about it.”

Seeing that Lin Yi was fine, Liang Ruoxu was no longer worried.

And she didn’t blame Lin Yi for this.

If he didn’t do this, he wouldn’t be Lin Yi.

“Ruoxu, now is not the time to talk. We have other missions to prepare for action,” Liu Hong said.

“There are other missions?”

Liang Ruoxu subconsciously raised her voice. “Isn’t this matter over?”

“Only some unimportant people have died. The real mastermind hasn’t surfaced yet. We need to take further action.”

Liang Ruoxu’s expression didn’t look too good. She really didn’t want Lin Yi to do such a dangerous thing again.

However, he had no choice. Her grandfather was a member of the Central Guards Brigade, and she had no right to stop him.

“I got it.”

Liang Ruoxu walked in front of Lin Yi, “You must be careful, don’t get hurt again.”

“It won’t happen again.” Lin Yi touched her soft hair and said apologetically.

“Let’s go back first. Now is not the time to talk.”

“Yeah.”

Liang Ruoxu was a woman who understood the big picture. She also knew how important the mission of the Central Guards Brigade was. She didn’t dawdle. After taking a deep look at Lin Yi, she turned around and left.

Lin Yi also returned to the bed, preparing to act as a corpse again.

Just as Liu Hong had said, tonight would show whether the other party would take the bait.

Whether or not they took the bait would be up to G.o.d.
