“Wuwuwu…”

w.a.n.g Tingshan wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth was sealed and he could not speak at all.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi had no intention of letting him go.

“Lin Yi!”

Seeing that the situation was turning sour, Song Jinmin stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yi’s arm. He had lost control. If this continued, he would end up killing all three of them.

“Let go of me!”

Thock!

Song Jinmin straightened his fingers into a knife and chopped at Lin Yi’s neck. The latter fainted, and the villa returned to silence.

“Let’s get to work. It’ll be too late if we dawdle any longer. When we leave later, don’t forget to take their phones with you.”

When Lin Yi woke up, it was already past eight in the morning.

It was clear just how hard Song Jinmin had hit him.

Sitting next to him wasn’t Song Jinmin, but Lu Beichen.

“Elder Lu, oh my G.o.d, it hurts.”

Lin Yi rubbed the back of his neck. It felt like a heavy truck had run over it.

“Move slowly. The w.a.n.g family matters have been dealt with. The authorities have reported it without much publicity and aren’t pursuing it further.” “Because of the drugs?”

Lu Beichen nodded.

“The w.a.n.g family has stated they will pursue the matter, but with w.a.n.g Tingshan dead, the remaining members can’t cause much trouble.”

After a long silence, Lin Yi said gratefully,

“Elder Lu, thank you.”

Lin Yi knew that the reason this matter did not cause an uproar was not because it had been done so secretly, but because Lu Beichen had dealt with it well in the dark.

“At the national level, it’s the same. With w.a.n.g Tingshan’s status, an incident like this would undoubtedly cause significant upheaval.”

If it weren’t for Lu Beichen, Lin Yi was certain that this matter wouldn’t have been resolved so quietly.

“But regardless, you’re safe now. No one will suspect you.”

“Actually, I didn’t do much. The key is that you handled it cleanly, leaving no evidence behind. Even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn’t find anything,” Lu Beichen said with a smile. “When it comes to eliminating witnesses, you still have some way to go compared to your father.”

“He’s a seasoned rogue, and I’m a patriotic entrepreneur. We can’t be compared.”

Lu Beichen burst into laughter. “If he heard you say that, he’d probably come over and beat you up.”

Lin Yi laughed as well, the atmosphere lightening considerably. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took his phone out of his pocket.

“Look at this.”

“What?”

After taking Lin Yi’s phone, Lu Beichen saw the contents and his expression changed.

His thoughts coincided with Lin Yi’s.

“I didn’t expect them to do such a thing.”

“I’m sure you’ve already guessed it.”

“I suspect Chen Guanjie, but 1 didn’t think of Cao Jiadu. I’m quite surprised. This is negligence on my part.”

Lu Beichen was a proud person. Such a thing had happened during his tenure. This was a poor showing of his abilities.

“Where is Chen Guanjie? Is he still on Tilia Island?”

“According to the Central Guards Brigade’s tasks, he should still be on the island. However, after something like this had happened, it’s hard to say where he’s secretly run to.” Lu Beichen said.

“Now that something like this has happened to the w.a.n.g family, 1 believe it won’t be long before he rushes back.”

Lin Yi nodded. He thought so too.

Chen Guanjie was inextricably linked to the w.a.n.g family.

Therefore, he would definitely return to Yanjing soon to attend w.a.n.g Tingshan’s funeral.

Lin Yi didn’t have to do much. All he had to do was wait.

As for w.a.n.g Tingshan’s phone, this was important evidence.

If he could find contact records with foreigners in his communication records, then the charges against him would be huge.

For the next ten hours, Lin Yi didn’t go anywhere. He stayed in the inner base of the Central Guards Brigade.

Occasionally, he would go out because he couldn’t stay idle, but he would cover himself up very tightly. He would cover himself with hats, sungla.s.ses, and masks.

When possible, he avoided using the door and went through the window, ensuring no one noticed him.

The next morning, around eight, Lin Yi, who had spent the night at the bathhouse, received a call from Lu Beichen, informing him that Chen Guanjie had returned to Yanjing and that he should head back to the Central Guard Brigade base.

Stretching, Lin Yi geared up and prepared to return to the base.

Taking a taxi back to the Central Guard Brigade, Lin Yi circled to the shaded side, finding the blind spot of the surveillance cameras, and prepared to jump in.

In a place like the Central Guard Brigade, there shouldn’t be any blind spots in surveillance. However, someone had manually adjusted the cameras, leaving a s.p.a.ce about two meters wide, allowing him to come and go unnoticed.

“Don’t move!”

Just as Lin Yi was about to climb over the wall, he heard a command from behind.

He turned around and realized that the person who spoke was Qiu Yuluo!

Besides her, Liu Hong and Ning Che were also by her side.

After the cremation ceremony was completed, Liu Hong and Qiu Yuluo went to Chuansheng while Ning Che went to Yangcheng.

However, after the matter in Chuansheng was over, Liu Hong and Qiu Yuluo also returned to Yangcheng. They placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Lin Yi’s tombstone and looked at him one last time.

After dealing with the matters in Yang City, the three of them took a plane back to Yanjing.

Firstly, this matter had already been settled, so there was no point in staying in Yangcheng anymore.

Secondly, w.a.n.g Tingshan and w.a.n.g Mian’s accidental deaths caused quite a stir, so they rushed back.

However, what was interesting was that as soon as they returned to the Central Guards Brigade, they saw a person sneaking towards the back door of the headquarters.

Moreover, he had even covered his face. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

The three of them felt that this was quite interesting. After so many years, this was the first time they had seen someone do such a thing in the Central Guards Brigade’s base.

Lin Yi scratched his head and looked at Liu Hong and the other two helplessly.

He was considered a dead person, but he had met the three of them on such an occasion. It was too awkward.

“Let me tell you, this is a secret base of the Huaxian military. Your actions have already violated the law, with sentences starting at ten years. You can’t escape now. Take off your sungla.s.ses and mask. Don’t wait for us to take action.”

“This is a misunderstanding. I’m leaving now. Bye.”

“You want to leave?”

Qiu Yuluo raised her eyebrows and said,

“Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please? You’d better cooperate obediently, or the consequences will be even worse.”

“Um… are you sure you want me to take off my mask and sungla.s.ses?”

“What do you think? Are you waiting for me to make a move?”

Lin Yi knew that he wouldn’t be able to escape if the three of them caught him red-handed, so he stopped struggling.

And so…

Lin Yi slowly took off his sungla.s.ses and mask..
