Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor. EndlessFantasy Translation
âHuh?â
Liu Hongâs words made Lin Yi immediately wake up.
âDid they detect Bass ore?â
âThatâs still unclear.â Liu Hong said.
âI heard from Elder Lu that you brought Team 1 to Panem to handle your companyâs matters. Divert some fores and keep an eye on the situation there. If you need support, call me in advance. 1â11 send Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo over.â
âOther than that, is there any other news?â Lin Yi said.
-Does the Central Guards Brigade have a clear target, or rather, a suspect?
âThereâs nothing.â Liu Hong said in a deep voice.
âI just found out about a large group of people moving in the direction of Panem. I canât guess what theyâre going to do.â
âThat also means that it might not be about the minerals, but rather something related to him that brought them to Panem, right?â
âThereâs that possibility,â Liu Hong said.
âBut the there is a lot of movement this time. We have to make appropriate measures.â
â1 got it.â
After hanging up on Liu Hong, Lin Yi couldnât fall asleep.
This news was a little unexpected to him.
The information from the Central Guards Brigade couldnât be wrong, so the problem must be in Panem itself.
However, Panem was calm now and nothing suspicious had happened. What was the purpose of these people coming here?
Even if the ore really did appear, whose hands would it be in?
Thinking about these questions, Lin Yi did not sleep the entire night.
He did not close his eyes until the sky was bright. By then, cigarette butts littered the ground.
This project had already made Lin Yi suspicious.
But now, the matter on his side had yet to be resolved, and there was now foreign unrest.
It made the already chaotic situation even more confusing.
âMotherf*cker!â
He stood up and cursed. Lin Yi stretched and went to the bathroom to wash up.
He still had work to do later.
At eight oâclock in the morning, everyone washed up and gathered in the hotel restaurant.
Lin Yi relayed the contents of Liu Hongâs call to the eight people in the team.
This made the eight of them nervous.
This would be their first official mission since joining the Central Guards
Brigade.
âSui Qiang, Siying, you two bring Xiao Bing, Chao, Yun Hu, and Jianfeng to investigate this matter. If you need anything, call Boss Liu. They will fully support you,â Lin Yi said while eating.
âThe rest of you, come with me.â
âYes!â
Everyone replied in a low voice.
After the meal, everyone split into two groups. Lin Yi brought Luo Qi and Zhou Liang to deal with the companyâs matters. The rest were sent to investigate the foreign forces.
Lin Yi drove to the embassy and picked up Chen Qingfeng.
Seeing Lin Yi appear in front of him safe and sound, Chen Qingfeng felt like a lifetime had passed.
Yesterday, he received news that Lin Yi had been captured by the Panem government. He thought that he would have a slim chance of survival, so he did not expect to appear in front of him safe and sound the next day.
âPresident Lin, are you alright?â Chen Qingfeng probed.
âIâm fine, arenât I? Donât I look like Iâm alright?â Lin Yi waved his hand and smiled.
âGet in the car. Iâll have to trouble you to come with us today.â
âThis is a small matter. Whether itâs for public or private reasons, itâs what we should do.â
Chen Qingfeng got into the car and sat in the back seat. He probed, âPresident Lin, there are no outsiders here. 1 want to know if youâ¦â âActually, it doesnât matter who killed him. What matters is that the problem is solved. Thatâs more important than anything else, donât you think?â
âUmâ¦â
Chen Qingfeng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Lin Yi had already said so much. If he still didnât understand, he would be a fool.
Chen Qingfengâs heart beat faster as he recalled the negotiations the day before.
President Lin looked gentle on the surface, so he did not expect him to do such a thing. He was really too ruthless.
He had underestimated him.
After driving for an hour, they arrived at the port of Boba.
After the conflict, Lingyun Groupâs goods were transported here.
However, with the intervention of the Huaxia government, the people from the Canal Administration did not touch the goods.
It was this very reason that made Lin Yi feel that their actions, while seemingly normal, seem excessively aggressive.
This was Lin Yiâs frsutration.
You could argue itâs just regular business behavior, yet their approach seems somewhat over the line.
You could speculate there was some conspiracy at play, but then again, nothing overtly suspicious has occurred.
All along, they had been contact with official personnel to discuss these matters, and no significant faults can be identified in their methods.
F*ck!
The car drove to the designated location. Chen Qingfeng was in charge of negotiating with the people at the port and preparing to count the goods on the ship.
This was necessary since they had to gain official approval before the inspection could begin.
Lin Yi looked ahead. Other than the huge port, there was also a huge dock not far away.
According to Chen Qingfeng, Lingyun Groupâs cargo ship was parked there.
The inspection would also be carried out there later.
After more than ten minutes of negotiation, Chen Qingfeng brought two staff members over to check the batch of goods from Lingyun Group.
âAre you the boss of Lingyun Group?â
A staff member said when he saw Lin Yi.
Lin Yi glanced at the name tag of the person who spoke. His name was Mahra.
âThatâs me. Whatâs the matter?â
âEveryone in the security office is dead. We feel that this matter has something to do with you. Youâre the murderer!â
Lin Yi was speechless.
Indeed, foreigners had strange thoughts.
This guy had actually accused him to his face. It was very interesting. Chen Qingfeng was also a little embarrassed. Then, he smiled helplessly. He had been here for more than a year and knew the straightforward personality of the local people. They were not smart at all.
If this person appeared in Huaxia, the grass on his grave would probably be more than two meters tall.
âThe murderer has already turned himself in. Why are you still suspecting me?â -We think that youâre the one who found a scapegoat, and that youâre the one who killed the people from the security office!â Mahra said with a straight face, with a look of hatred.
If it wasnât for his work, he would not have cooperated with the inspection.
Lin Yi smiled and wasnât angry.
âSo you firmly believe that 1 killed your colleague, right?â
âYes!â Mahra said resolutely.
âBecause you have a motive. It canât be anyone else. You can fool others, but you canât fool us.â
âTheyâre just your colleagues, not your family. You donât have to be so agitated.â Lin Yi patted his shoulder earnestly.
âOtherwise, who knows if you can survive until tomorrow morning..â
