Seeing Lin Yiâs serious expression, Xiao Bing asked curiously.
âBrother Lin, is the organization behind them really that difficult to deal with? Do we stand no chance at all?â
Lin Yi nodded. âEven if we send the Yanlong Team itself, they stand no chance at all. Donât be blindly confident in the Central Guards Brigade.â
âWe can already be considered a strong country now. Even with the entire nationâs strength, an overseas organization can be so arrogant when facing us?â
âWeâre an official organization. There are many restrictions. Those outside the country have nothing to worry about. This is the biggest difference between the two,â Lin Yi said faintly.
âTherefore, you have to adjust your mentality. Otherwise, youâll suffer in the future.â
âGot it, Brother Lin.â Xiao Bing said, âJust focus on dealing with Hongmen this time.â
âWhen we get there, our informants in Shianggang should have gathered enough information, and we can prepare to take action,â Zhang Chaoyue said.
âHowever, we donât have the advantage in numbers or personal strength, so weâll have to resort to assassination.â
Lin Yi nodded. If they tried to confront them head-on, his team wouldnât even know how they died.
âSiying and Sui Qiang are in Shianggang now, right?â Lin Yi asked.
âBrother Lin, do you have any plans?â
âTell them to keep an eye on Sun Yee On and 14K. They might uncover some information about Hongmen.â
âGot it, Iâll inform them now.â
After giving the instructions, Lin Yi leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, contemplating the next steps.
About three hours later, Zhang Chaoyue drove the car into Shianggang.
The city was brightly lit at night. As a global financial center, even Zhonghai couldnât quite compare to it.
But Lin Yi didnât like it here, nor was he particularly fond of Zhonghai.
He felt there was a lack of warmth; he preferred the down-to-earth atmosphere of everyday street life.
Zhang Chaoyue drove to the designated location and met up with the rest of the team.
However, Yu Siying and Sui Qiang were not with them, as they were investigating Sun Yee On and 14K.
The team stayed at a three-star hotel.
The choice was entirely for concealment.
The hotel was actually controlled by a state-owned enterprise, making it a very safe place to stay.
âBrother Lin, everyoneâs here. Whatâs the next step?â Luo Qi asked.
âContact Yu Siying and Sui Qiang to see if they can infiltrate Sun Yee On and 14K. The enemy knows their own best, and we should be able to get information about Fang Dezhong and Fang Shihong from them. But be careful not to expose yourselves.â
âDonât we need to send people to Hongmen?â Zhao Yunhu asked.
âThere are likely plenty of Central Guards Brigade informants around Hongmen already, so it wouldnât help much for you to go there,â Lin Yi said.
âBesides, they should be in a highly defensive state right now. Any disturbance could reveal us. Itâs not suitable for you to go there now. On the other hand, Sun Yee On and 14K wonât be as guarded, making it easier for you to infiltrate.â
âUnderstood, weâll get on it right away.â
After assigning the tasks, the team members left one by one.
As the room quieted down, Lin Yi leaned back on the sofa, hands behind his head, silently contemplating.
Before he knew it, the night had passed, and Lin Yi hadnât slept at all.
Without the advantage of superior strength, the slightest misstep could lead to the teamâs complete annihilation, so extreme caution was necessary.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
At around noon, Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was a video call from Qiu Yuluo on WeChat.
âAny news?â
âI looked into it. Fang Dezhong owns three properties, and Fang Shihong has two. Iâve sent the addresses to you; you can keep an eye on them.â
âIn addition, Fang Dezhong has two mistresses. Iâve also sent their information to your phone.â
âBesides the Jiaxin Group I mentioned earlier, the largest company under the Fang family is Hengsheng Group, but itâs under his wifeâs name,â Qiu Yuluo said.
âAs long as we monitor Hengsheng Group, weâre bound to find Fang Dezhong. As for the exact whereabouts of Fang Shihong, Iâll need more time to investigate jt.â
âIt was already tough for you to find all this information. Thereâs no hurry. Take your time.â
âIâll hang up first. Call me if you need anything,â Qiu Yuluo said.
âIf you need backup, call back.â
âOkay.â
After hanging up on Qiu Yuluo, Lin Yi started flipping through the messages that she had sent over.
There was a detailed list of all the information about the Fang father and son. There was even a family tree. They had prepared a thorough analysis.
Although they found all the properties under the name of the Fang father and son, according to Qiu Yuluoâs analysis, they didnât seem to go to these places often.
The number of times he went back in a year could be counted on ten fingers.
Lin Yi held his head with one hand and looked at the information on it. He felt that the Fang father and son should have other hidden residences.
It was just that the time was too short, so they did not manage to unearth it all. He needed to give Qiu Yuluo some more time.
Now, there was no need to worry too much about Fang Dezongâs whereabouts. According to Qiu Yuluo, as the actual controller of Hengsheng Group, Fang Dezong would definitely appear in the company.
If he wanted to find him, he could just wait at the company.
The only factor that was hard to nail down was Fang Shihong. His whereabouts were unpredictable, and he really needed to put in some effort.
Among these materials, Lin Yi also found a certain amount of information.
Fang Dezong also had a younger sister called Fang Huijing. Her husbandâs name was Li Dongxin, and he was also a famous entrepreneur in Shianggang.
And the company that the Li Family belonged to was the same Huanghai Group from Shianggang.
Previously, Li Dongxinâs son, Li Huaxing, wanted to enter the mainland. However, after being taught a lesson by Lin Yi, he did not continue.
What a coincidence.
Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled. He felt that Shianggang was really too small. Otherwise, who would have thought that their family would be related?
Lin Yi held the documents and watched until past three in the afternoon. Then, he sent a message to the members of Team 1 and told them to gather.
At four in the afternoon, under Lin Yiâs call, the members of Team 1 returned to the hotel one after another.
Regardless of whether they had found any useful information, they ought to gather, integrate resources, and carefully issue the second mission.
âHmm? Why are you the only ones back? Whereâs Luo Qi?â
Lin Yi asked when he saw that not all the people had returned.
âWell, something happened,â Yu Siying said.
âTonight, there will be a boxing match at the Renaissance Hotel in Keiloon, Shianggang. Sun Yee On, 14K and Hongmen will all participate. It is said that important figures from major organizations will be present. We guess that Fang Shihong may come from Hongmen, so I arranged for Qiqi to sneak in as a waiter to investigate clues.â
