Liang Ruoxu was silent for a while. From a certain point of view, what her mother said made sense, and there was nothing wrong with the logic. However, she shared the same thoughts as Ji Qingyan. These were the results of their a.n.a.lysis. No one could guarantee that there would not be any accidents. If something happened to Lin Yi, she wouldn’t be able to accept it.
“Did you tell Aunty Qin about this?”
“I called her and told her, but she hasn’t replied to me. I’m also waiting for news.”
In reality, Shen Shuyi couldn’t guarantee that Lin Yi was safe.
However, the probability of his survival was very high.
Given the current situation, there wasn’t much that could be done domestically. The real game-changer was Lin Yi himself, followed by Qin Yingyue and Lin Jingzhan.
“When did you tell Aunty Qin?”
“Just now.”
“Huh? It’s been so many days. Wiry didn’t you say anything before this?”
“I didn’t expect things to go this far.”
Shen Shuyi thought that after Huaxia’s armed forces intervened, the problem would be resolved quickly.
Coupled with Lin Yi’s intelligence, she expected to hear back soon.
Unexpectedly, the Central Guards Brigade was also left helpless.
She realized that something was wrong, so she called Qin Yingyue and told her the whole story.
“Don’t worry about this matter. This has gone beyond the scope of what the Liang family is able to handle.”
Shen Shuyi sighed. “This will all depend on his luck!”
In the base of the Central Guards Brigade, the higher-ups still remained on watch.
This was especially true for Liu Hong. He had not slept much these few days and had been directing the battle at the frontline.
This was because Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che had already arrived at Santa Clara,
but they were stuck there and could not get in.
The situation was in a deadlock. Coupled with the international pressure, the situation at the front line became confusing. No one knew what would happen in the next second.
“Did Lin Yi send another email?” Liu Hong asked the messenger.
“Not at the moment. Communications have been cut off,” the communications officer said.
“Moreover, there’s also an unstable signal near Santa Clara City. Our contact with Team 2 and Team 3 has also been affected. Most importantly, the enemies there are at least ten times stronger than us. Even if Team 2 and Team 3 successfully get in, they will struggle to successfully rescue them.” “d.a.m.n it, these people are determined to fight us head-on,” Liu Hong cursed. He was so angry that he even threw the ashtray.
“That’s because they have someone backing them up. They’ve probably already reached an agreement to unite against external forces. Even as they chase after Lin Yi, they’ll also focus on fighting Team 2 and Team 3. This makes it tremendously difficult to rescue them,” Cao Jiadu said.
Liu Hong pulled a long face and turned to look at Lu Beichen.
“Chief, this matter…”
In Liu Hong’s view, the only solution was to resolve the problem through armed intervention.
However, he did not have such authority to sign off on this and was not qualified to do such a thing.
“We’ve already been targeted. After I send people over, international forces will also deploy people with the main goal of confronting us,” Lu Beichen explained.
“If we send even more personnel, the enemy will do the same. Our overall force will be at a disadvantage, and any gains will be minimal. This option is essentially blocked.”
“The current situation is still within a controllable range. If we continue to send more forces, by the time this is over, the international pressure on us will reach an unprecedented level. We need to think of other strategies.” Liu Hong and the rest stopped talking. What Lu Beichen said was a very realistic question.
Now was not the time to be rash. There were still many aspects to consider.
He could only pray that Lin Yi would think of a solution, after which they would support him.
Otherwise, judging from the current situation, it would be really difficult to find a way to break out of this deadlock.
Compared to the dull atmosphere of the Central Guards Brigade, the w.a.n.g family’s villa was much more relaxed.
w.a.n.g Tingshan, w.a.n.g Mian, Chen Chufeng, and Li Mi had all gathered to discuss the next step of their plan.
“Haven’t you found Lin Yi in Santa Clara yet?” w.a.n.g Tingshan asked.
“No, there’s no trace of him. It’s as if he disappeared from the face of the earth,” Li Mi said.
“Before this, we really underestimated Lin Yi. There were so many people, and we exhausted all our methods and equipment, but we still can’t find any traces of him. I have to say, he’s really a talent,” Chen Chufeng said.
Chen Chufeng thought this way, and so did w.a.n.g Tingshan.
After this incident, they gained a whole new level of respect for Lin Yi.
Thinking of this, w.a.n.g Tingshan tilted his head and looked at his son.
“If it were you, could you do that?”
w.a.n.g Mian’s expression changed.
The question had crossed his mind, but the answer was no.
Even if he was at his peak, he couldn’t survive against so many people.
Even though he was very reluctant, w.a.n.g Mian still shook his head. He could not do this.
“How’s Santa Clara looking? They haven’t found Lin Yi yet. What’s their next step?”
“Team Leader Chen said that the various factions in the city suspect that Lin Yi has secretly left and want to search elsewhere.”
“Did the Central Guards Brigade receive any news? Did they predict Lin Yi’s next move?”
“There’s no news there at all. The Central Guards Brigade is also very anxious. They have completely lost contact with Lin Yi and haven’t yet pinpointed his actions. They seem to be helpless.”
“Even our own people can’t find him.”
w.a.n.g Tingshan tapped his fingers on the table and didn’t say a word, thinking about Lin Yi’s most likely move.
“This might be a bad omen,” said Chen Chufeng.
“Lin Yi might have sensed something and deliberately concealed himself.”
w.a.n.g Tingshan looked at Chen Chufeng.
“You mean he found out about the mole?”
“It’s a possibility, but it’s just my guess.”
“Elder Chen is right.” w.a.n.g Mian said.
“We can’t use conventional methods to a.n.a.lyze Lin Yi. His greatest characteristic is that he doesn’t play by the rules. The more you think he’ll do something, the more likely it is he won’t do it. Instead of saying that he escaped Santa Clara, I believe that he’s still inside and hasn’t come out.”
After pondering for a moment, w.a.n.g Tingshan looked at Chen Chufeng.
“Elder Chen, what do you think?”
“I haven’t had much contact with him, and it’s hard to get a handle on him now, but Mian’s right. He’s certainly unpredictable, so we can’t use common sense to predict what he’ll do next. I’m more inclined to think he’s still hiding in Santa Clara.”
“Then let’s follow this train of thought first.”
w.a.n.g Tingshan looked at Li Mi and said,
“Contact Chen Guanjie and spread the news that Lin Yi is still in Santa Clara
City. Tell the people outside the city not to give up on tracking him.”
“I got it.”
“Oh right, the next time you hear from Lin Yi, just ask Cao Jiadu to contact me directly.”
“Understood. I’ll inform them now.”
“Dad, what do you think about Lin Yi’s relationship with those two women?
When are you going to expose it?” w.a.n.g Mian asked after Li Mi left.
“Nowis not the time.” w.a.n.g Tingshan said.
“After Lin Yi dies, I believe news will surface within the country. When I expose this matter then, he will be despised by everyone!”
