âAll of you, calm down.â Liu I long said.
âThe Central Guards Brigade belongs to the country, and the Black Gold Corporation is a private organization. If thereâs a collision between the two sides, it will definitely attract pressure from public opinion. In the end, weâll still be the ones at a disadvantage. However, we have to take revenge. They killed our people and snatched our goods. We canât just let this matter go.â
Cao Jiadu patted Liu Hongâs shoulder. âCalm down first. We still have to wait for the autopsy report.â
Now, everything was just speculation. There was no substantial evidence.
The only thing they could count on was the autopsy report. Otherwise, he couldnât do anything about this.
âBut thereâs one thing I still donât understand. The undercover agents have all been wiped out. Who leaked their whereabouts?â Liu Hong said.
âCould a traitor have appeared in Team 1?â
No one said anything as they focused their gazes on Lin Yi.
He was the one who discovered the truth about Wang Bingyu, so at this moment, they all wanted to hear his thoughts.
âItâs possible that there is an undercover agent, but itâs very difficult to investigate when Team 1 is out on a mission.â Lin Yi leaned back in his chair and expressed his opinion.
âHowever, other than the possibility of a traitor, thereâs another possibility. They were targeted when they obtained the Bass ores from the first group.â
âYou mean to say that after the first group obtained the Bass ore, the people from the Black Gold Corporation started to follow them?â
Lin Yi nodded. âBecause itâs been a while since Jimmyâs accident. Jeffrey of Black Gold would definitely have guessed that something had happened. However, unlike us, they donât need evidence to act. They felt that it was done by the Central Guards Brigade, so they directly took action. Therefore, this matter might have been planned for a long time.â
Lin Yi rubbed his temples. âThe two of them suffered inhumane abuse when they were alive. They must have wanted to get information about the Central Guards Brigade, but neither gave up any information and thus ended up like this. However, theyâve already achieved their goal and taken the Bass ore away.â
Tap tap tap tapâ¦
Liu Hongâs fingers tapped on the table as if time was passing.
Although there was a possibility of a spy being planted in the organization, Lin Yiâs words made sense.
In comparison, they were more Milling to believe the latter.
If another spy appeared, it would greatly cripple the Central Guards Brigade!
If that were the case, Liu Hong no longer deserved his position.
âAlright, you guys go back and rest first. Wait for my notice tomorrow,â Liu Hong said in a low voice.
Everyone stood up and left one after another.
The matter was already very clear. The rest was up to Liu Hong on how to deal with this matter.
They now needed to give him some time.
After leaving, the few of them did not go to the guest house. Instead, they returned to the Peninsula Hotel because they could sleep more comfortably there.
It was almost dawn by the time they got back to the hotel.
However, everyone was completely awake. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They all hoped that the autopsy report would come out soon.
At noon, everyone gathered together and went to the dining room to eat.
Nobody said anything and just ate in silence.
It was not until six oâclock in the evening that Liu Hong called everyone and gathered them in the garrison area.
âBoss Liu, howâs the situation?â Qiu Yuluo asked.
âWe found the fingerprints of six people, but we still canât confirm that it was done by the people from Black Gold Corporation.â
âThen what should we do next? We canât just wait here forever, right?â Ning Che said.
âLetâs go back to Yanjing and hold a farewell ceremony before burying our comrades. Letâs settle the matter at hand first.â
âGot it.â
Everyone packed their things and prepared to return to Yanjing.
Lin Yi quickly ran through his checklist. There was nothing going on at home.
Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan were in charge of the company, so there was no need to worry.
Over at Happiness Village, the second batch of fruits in the greenhouse would only be ready to be harvested in a few days.
Since he had nothing to do these few days, he could go to Yanjing for now.
Lin Yi sent a message to Ji Qingyan, but only said that he was going to Yanjing for a business trip. He didnât say anything else to worry her.
That night, the few of them took a private plane and brought the two bodies back with them to Yanjing.
Liu Hong notified the families. After seeing the corpse, the two families cried uncontrollably, but they quickly accepted reality.
They were all from rich families. Their temperaments were not something ordinary people could compare to.
The next morning, a small memorial service and farewell ceremony were held at the funeral home. After being cremated, the ashes were sent to the Martyrsâ Memorial Garden. This was a special treatment unique to the Central Guards Brigade.
When they arrived at the cemetery, Lin Yi stood at the back as the team lined up to offer flowers and say their goodbyes.
He hadnât been in the Central Guards Brigade for long, so his feelings werenât as strong as others. Thus, he wasnât very sad.
It was just that he could not accept the way the two of them sacrificed themselves.
During this process, the members of the Team 1 also returned, but not all of them.
Lin Yi stood behind the crowd and looked at the four people in Team 1.
The one standing at the front was Team 1âs team leader, Wang Mian.
Wang Mianâs appearance was a little different from what Lin Yi had imagined.
He was almost 1.9 meters tall and had a strong body. He had a buzz cut and his appearance was not outstanding. He stood there like a mountain, as if his entire body was filled with the explosive power of a volcano.
In the past, Lin Yi had always treated Wang Mian as a stranger and had no feelings toward him. They could barely be considered comrades.
However, the Wang family had appeared a few days ago and protected the Han family. This made Lin Yi more wary of them.
Because in a sense, this man was already standing on the opposite side of himself.
Twenty minutes later, everyone sent flowers one after another and retreated to the back.
At this moment, Wang Mian walked towards Lin Yi.
âYouâre Lin Yi, who broke my record during the training test, right?â
âYeah.â Lin Yi nodded lightly.
âNot bad.â Wang Mian smiled and said.
âI thought it would take eight to ten years for someone to break my record. I didnât expect someone to do it in three years. Work hard in the future. 1 have high hopes for you.â
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che, who were standing at the side, looked a little unnatural.
Wasnât he obviously putting pressure on Lin Yi and flexing his position in the Central Guards Brigade?
Ordinary people might not be able to tell what he meant, but the other party was Lin Yi. It would be strange if he couldnât understand the hidden message.
âFortunately, the standard of the Central Guards Brigade isnât as bad as you think. Those who can be recruited for the trial training are all good. After all, youâre a member of the Central Guards Brigade yourself. Thereâs no need to look down on the members here.â
âHeheâ¦â
Wang Mian did not say anything. Qin Yanling, who was standing at the side, laughed.
âNo wonder you have the guts to beat up so many courtyard disciples. Youâre quite confident in yourself.â
Although he had left the Central Guards Brigade now, he was once a member of the group. Coupled with his relationship with Qiu Yuluo, it was normal for him to appear here.
âAnd what of it? What does it have to do with you? Why are you being so nosy?â Lin Yi said.
âWhat were your test results back then? At the end of the day, Iâm the deputy team leader.. You donât have the right to talk to me, right?â
