Chapter 3994: Chapter 3982: Spectator
This news shocked everyone in both teams.
The figure of a Deputy Minister is no small matter.
It clearly shows that the people behind the scheme are getting impatient.
It also indicates that the situation has reached a point where it cannot be delayed any longer.
"Is there any new update from the kidnappers? Have they made any other demands?"
"Not for now. All I know is that he has gone missing."
"Do you know who is in charge of this matter?"
"A man named Jin Dawu, who is at the same level as Zhao Yonghe."
Lin Yi thought for a few seconds, "Where did this news come from? Is it accurate?"
"It’s accurate. The officials found Cui Xiaodong and want us to take part in the rescue operation."
"The officials have their own team; why would they reach out to you?"
"Maybe they’re afraid they don’t have enough manpower. I guess they might have been tipped off and figured out who was behind this, knowing that this enemy isn’t easy to deal with, they approached us for a joint effort."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and revealed a subtle smile.
"I suspect they might be using you as cannon fodder."
"That possibility exists."
Song Zhongtian has enough intelligence to become the leader of the Angry Sea Organization.
"How far have they progressed with this matter? What decision did Cui Xiaodong make?"
"I don’t know. They are still negotiating. These things have been circulating around, but no concrete orders have been given."
Lin Yi didn’t say anything; the room was eerily quiet.
"After you rescue Cui Shengguo, Cui Xiaodong won’t release this information. Maybe once he’s saved, he’ll tell you." Lin Yi said:
"If he agrees to the officials’ request, please inform me immediately."
"What if he disagrees?"
Lin Yi’s lips curled up into a meaningful smile, "No, he will agree."
After hanging up Song Zhongtian’s call, Qiu Yuluo said:
"Daring to take action against their official, I can’t think of anyone else but Mammon."
"Most likely it is them. They even dared to steal our E-class serum; there’s nothing they wouldn’t dare to do."
What happened in Jing City is still vivid in Lin Yi’s mind, sometimes even haunting him in dreams.
Since then, he couldn’t look at them with innocent eyes anymore.
"Now, Jinshan Group is besieged from all sides. Apart from the kidnapping, the environmental incident also brings an impact that’s giving them a headache. They must cooperate with the officials to minimize the buzz around this matter."
Qiu Yuluo said:
"Once Song Zhongtian rescues Cui Shengguo, they’ll be assigned a new task. Anyway, these people’s lives aren’t worth much money. Even if they all die, a new team can be assembled for a bit of cash."
"Our thoughts are quite similar, so this is our chance; we can deliver the fake Sheepskin Scroll to Mammon."
"Are you planning to pull the same trick again this time?" Qiu Yuluo asked.
Lin Yi shook his head, "I plan to go in person."
"Hmm?"
Everyone’s eyes fell on Lin Yi, "Why would you take personal action this time?"
"This kidnapping case involves a man named Jin Dawu, and Song Zhongtian mentioned he’s at the same level as Zhao Yonghe, jointly responsible for the security of the Sheepskin Scrolls. To them, he is now exploitable, might even seize this opportunity to find the real Sheepskin Scroll."
After pausing, Lin Yi continued:
"If we can take the real Sheepskin Scroll, then only a few authentic copies would remain in the world. In their hands, no one could tell real from fake, and no new authentic copies would appear again. Consequently, they’d expend most of their energy, and our pressure would be greatly reduced."
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
"That’s a good plan. As long as the real Sheepskin Scroll is taken away, the market will be flooded with mixed assets, leaving everyone confused." Said one member of the second group.
"That’s my point, but it’s merely speculation because whether we can find the original is still uncertain."
Qiu Yuluo nodded, looking at Lin Yi.
"You don’t need to fixate on this matter. Our mission is already accomplished. Everything we’re doing now is merely icing on the cake; nothing is more important than safety."
"Don’t worry, I’m so afraid to die that I definitely wouldn’t risk my life."
Lin Yi stretched a bit and said:
"Now everyone’s main task is to gather intelligence on these organizations and look for more opportunities to distribute the fake Sheepskin Scrolls."
"Boss, I’ve thought of another possibility." Zhang Chaoyue said:
"What if these people foolishly bring the Sheepskin Scroll back for research and never discover it’s fake? Then wouldn’t things calm down on Corea’s side?"
"Therefore, this matter must proceed quickly. We should deliver these fake Sheepskin Scrolls in a short time. Once they learn other organizations have acquired the Scrolls, they’ll doubt their own, real or fake, uncertain of authenticity."
"Then let’s proceed with your plan." Qiu Yuluo looked at Lin Yi, saying:
"I think we should visit it tonight, observe the trading situation on that side, maybe we’ll have an unexpected harvest."
"I think so too."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at the members of the first group.
"Now you should fully cooperate with the second group to investigate information from other organizations and wait for further actions."
"Got it."
Ring ring ring—
At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Lee Yongjin.
"Where are you?"
"At your place."
"Let’s meet up; I have something to talk to you about."
"You shouldn’t use an excuse if you want to see me, just say it directly." Lin Yi teased.
"Can you be serious?"
"Why can’t I be serious? Matters of attraction between men and women are perfectly normal."
"I can’t argue with you. I’ll send you an address, come over and find me."
"Alright."
After hanging up Lee Yongjin’s call, Lin Yi turned around to find the first group, all staring at him intently.
"What’s your deal? I’m meeting Lee Yongjin, not doing something else."
The first group didn’t say a word, just continuing to gaze at Lin Yi.
"I really can’t deal with you guys, Hu Zi come with me."
"That’s more like it." Xiao Bing muttered.
After briefly tidying up, Lin Yi headed out with Zhao Yunhu.
Lee Yongjin picked a western restaurant, but not the same one as last time.
"You’re coming too." Seeing Zhao Yunhu sitting in the car not moving, Lin Yi said.
"Huh? It wouldn’t be good for me to join while you two have dinner."
"What’s not good about it? We’re having dinner, not booking a room. Once we get there, order whatever is expensive, no need to save her money, just splurge."
