“I think the internal summary is fake. The real goal is to avenge Lin Yi,” Cao Jiadu said.

Chen Guanjie nodded, agreeing with Cao Jiadu.

“Lu Beichen really likes him. Not only did he partic.i.p.ate in his funeral, but he also wants to avenge him. Isn’t this a little biased?”

“Back then, he let w.a.n.g Mian leave without any fanfare. It’s obvious how much he likes Lin Yi,” Cao Jiadu said.

“At this stage, if it weren’t for him, the w.a.n.g family wouldn’t have declined so quickly. He dared to do this because he placed all his money on Lin Yi. Now, this person he nurtured as his future successor has died just like that. He definitely won’t let this matter rest easily.”

“Actually, there’s no reason to fear Lu Beichen. We’re all secretly handling this matter. No one knows about this matter and it has something to do with us. However, it’s hard to say what will happen with Lin Jingzhan. We have to be careful.”

“I don’t think we have to care about Lin Jingzhan. No matter how powerful he is, he can’t possibly kill the innocent,” Cao Jiadu said.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible for him to suspect us. Even he wouldn’t do such a thing.”

“You’re right.” Chen Guanjie lit a cigarette. “Let’s go and take a look first. Let’s see what Lu Beichen has to say.”

The two of them went up to the third floor of the base, but when they walked in, they saw that the door to Liu Hong’s office was open.

They realized that not only was Liu Hong here, but Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were as well.

“Old Liu, do you have any arrangements planned with the chief?”

When he saw Liu Hong, Cao Jiadu chuckled and said that the two of them had been partners for more than ten years and had a very good relationship.

No one could tell that the person who secretly betrayed Lin Yi was him.

However, at this moment, Liu Hong looked at this old friend who had gone through life and death with him and felt very upset.

Although Lin Yi hadn’t explicitly confirmed that Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu were moles, the operation was directed by the senior commander, and he didn’t think there would be any mistakes.

“The main thing is this current operation. They’re waiting for you in the office. You should go quickly.”

“Alright, we’ll head over now. Talk later.”

Chen Guanjie and Liu Hong didn’t seem to have a good relationship. They didn’t exchange many words upon meeting.

After discussing the important matters, Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu walked towards the office.

Reaching the far end of the third floor, Cao Jiadu pushed the door open. They walked in one after the other and then closed the door behind them.

There was someone sitting at the desk, but the chair was turned so that only the top of their head was visible.

However, it was clear that the person in the chair wasn’t Lu Beichen but a young man.

The two exchanged glances, both finding the situation odd.

In the entire Central Guard Brigade, someone of this age wouldn’t have the authority to speak to them with their back turned.

Nor would they have the authority to address them on this manner.

“Who are you?” Chen Guanjie asked.

“Who I am is not important. What’s important is clarifying the situation.”

As he spoke, Lin Yi turned around, causing the two nonchalant people to freeze on the spot.

Especially Cao Jiadu. He staggered and hit the door behind him.

“How could it be? Aren’t you already dead?!”

Not to mention Cao Jiadu, even Chen Guanjie was scared speechless for a long time.

“Logically speaking, I should be dead, but the heavens have blessed me and left me with a second wind.”

Lin Yi crossed his legs and glanced at the two of them. The smile on his lips made Cao Jiadu and Chen Guanjie feel terrified.

They had already received clear news that Lin Yi was dead.

Moreover, the cremation procedure had already been completed, but now, he had appeared here alive!

They felt that it was terrifying and inconceivable. They didn’t know what went wrong.

“Why do you have such an expression? We’re colleagues after all. Even if we didn’t interact much before, you should be happy that I’m not dead now, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’m happy.”

Cao Jiadu hurriedly agreed, but the cold sweat on his forehead did not stop.

“You’re really not bad. You didn’t disappoint us. You still survived under such circ.u.mstances. As expected of someone personally appointed by Elder Lu. The Central Guards Brigade will depend on you in the future.”

“That’s a nice way of putting it. I’m sure you’re disappointed to see me.”

Their hearts skipped a beat as they looked at Lin Yi with a scrutinizing gaze.

“Why would I be disappointed? I couldn’t be happier.”

“I don’t think so. If it weren’t for the two of you, the two of us wouldn’t have fallen to such a state. At this point, there’s no point in hiding anymore.”

“I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.” Cao Jiadu pretended to be calm and said.

“You’re the person the Central Guards Brigade is focusing on nurturing. I was hoping that you would return safely. Why do you make it sound like I wanted to kill you?”

Lin Yi smiled calmly. He wasn’t in a hurry.

“I won’t talk about Cullen. When we fled to Santa Clara, it didn’t take long for our pursuers to arrive. How do you explain that?”

“Explain? What do you want me to explain?” Cao Jiadu said.

“The pursuers were well-informed. After getting the info, they chased after you. What’s there to explain?”

“Since you say that the enemy has been well-informed, let me ask you this: why, when I notified Big Boss Liu that we were heading to Santos, did those foreign operatives follow us there?” Lin Yi asked patiently.

“If their intelligence was that good, would they have gotten the information wrong and ended up in Santos?”

Cao Jiadu’s expression shifted, realizing the gravity of the situation.

When Lin Yi said he was in Santos, it was likely a decoy to mislead the opposition.

In other words, Lin Yi might have suspected there was a mole in the Central Guard Brigade from that moment on.

That’s why he released false information to test his theory.

“I don’t know about that,” Cao Jiadu said, looking at Lin Yi. “Why are you asking me these questions? Do you suspect me of being a mole?”

“Aren’t you?”

“What a joke!” Cao Jiadu said excitedly.

“Liu Hong and I have been comrades for many years, and you are one of his men. How can I do such a thing? Don’t talk nonsense here.”

“You people really won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. You won’t turn back until you hit the south wall. If I didn’t have absolute evidence, why would I come looking for you?”

With that, Lin Yi threw w.a.n.g Tingshan’s phone over.

“Your phone records are on it. Other than that, I found some other information. You’ll know when you look at it yourself. We’re all sensible people. There’s no need to say it out loud. This is just wasting time..”
