Chapter 2076: Master Lin Can Only Jump Around in Zhonghai

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Based on your thoughts, they should be targeting Wei Yihua, right?” Zhao Donghai asked.

“That’s what I think.”

“I’ve learned a bit about Wei Yihua. The reason they haven’t gone after him is because he was already preparing to retire. He started his ‘clean-up’ plan a long time ago, which might be one of the reasons.”

“But even if he’s cleaned up his act, it doesn’t erase the things he’s done in the past. The police would still have grounds to go after him.”

“That’s the problem,” Wei Jianlong said.

“I suspect that the ones who really wanted to take down Bai Yongshou weren’t the police.”

“What do you mean, boss?”

“Although Wei Yihua has long been the underworld boss in Zhonghai, the real power player is someone known as ‘Master Lin.”

Wei Jianlong said as he fiddled with his walnuts.

“I’ve heard that his influence spans all of Zhonghai, and if he sets his mind to something, there’s nothing he can’t accomplish. My guess is that Bai Yongshou crossed him somehow, which is why he ended up getting taken down.”

“Master Lin?”

Zhao Donghai muttered. “That name sounds familiar. I think I’ve heard someone mention him before, but there doesn’t seem to be much concrete information about this person.”

“I’ve heard that he has multiple identities, which makes his real information very secretive. Even I don’t know much, but there’s no denying that he wields significant power.”

“Heh…” Zhao Donghai sneered, “In my opinion, his influence might be limited to Zhonghai. If he came to Yanjing, he’d have to bow down like everyone else.”

“Exactly, Yanjing isn’t a place just anyone can handle. This so-called Master Lin can only cause a stir in Zhonghai.”

“But it’s a pity that Bai Yongshou got caught.” Wei Jianlong said coldly.

If things keep going like this, our future operations along the coast will definitely be affected.”

“But that Master Lin seems to keep a low profile. I haven’t heard that he’s involved in this type of business. It might be difficult to collaborate with him.”

“It’s too early to say. After this shipment is secured, I plan to visit Zhonghai and have a proper talk with him,” Wei Jianlong said.

“Let’s see if I can make him our agent in Zhonghai.”

“And if he refuses?”

“If he refuses, then we’ll just eliminate him and find someone else,” Wei Jianlong replied with a smile.

“There’s no shortage of people nowadays.”

“Exactly, boss.”

Soon, the two vehicles reached the pier, stopping just thirty meters from where Lin Yi was hiding.

Zhao Donghai checked his watch. “They should be here in about twenty minutes.”

Wei Jianlong looked out at the distant sea.

“The waves are pretty strong today; they might be a bit delayed.”

Crackle crackle crackle!

At that moment, the walkie-talkie crackled with static.

“Boss, we’ve got trouble—there are cops!”

Both Wei Jianlong and Zhao Donghai’s expressions changed immediately. “Dump the goods into the sea—don’t leave any evidence!”

“Got it!”

Vroom, vroom, vroom!

At the same time, Zhao Donghai started the car. If there were an ambush at sea, there would definitely be people waiting on the shore as well.

They needed to escape quickly!

Meanwhile, Lin Yi spotted the Range Rover and the Land Cruiser parked near the pier.

Quietly, he picked up his binoculars again, focusing intently on the Range Rover, trying to match the image in his mind with the face of Wei Jianlong.

Although the image was a bit fuzzy, he was fairly confident that the person in the passenger seat was indeed Wei Jianlong.

“It’s time to move,” Lin Yi whispered.

“Are you sure the person in the car is Wei Jianlong?”

Due to the difference in their physical abilities and personal skills, Ning Che’s vision wasn’t as sharp as Lin Yi’s.

Even with binoculars, she couldn’t see as clearly as he could.

“I’m pretty sure. Let’s get going.”

Lin Yi’s hand reached for the gun behind his back, ready to make the arrest.

But just then, the two vehicles suddenly roared to life, the engines growling like wild beasts. Lin Yi and Ning Che exchanged a look, both uncertain of what had just happened.

In the next moment, the two cars turned around and sped away down the road they had come from.

“Damn it, what’s going on?!” Ning Che cursed.

“The information might have been leaked!”

Realizing the situation had changed, Lin Yi didn’t hesitate. He immediately jumped out and fired several shots at the tires of the Range Rover.

The deafening gunfire shattered the quiet night, as if tearing a hole in the clouds above.

In Kaijiang Village, several houses lit up as the villagers woke, curious about what was happening.

“Good thing I brought the heavy artillery.”

Ning Che muttered, pulling out a Beretta 92F from behind her. She aimed at the Range Rover’s tires and fired multiple shots.

This gun had originally been lent to Lin Yi by Yang Guangxia, but Ning Che had taken a liking to it, so Lin Yi had handed it over to her.

At this critical moment, the Beretta 92F proved its worth.

As one of the most powerful handguns in the world, the Beretta’s bullets sliced through the air, puncturing the Range Rover’s tires, causing the vehicle to swerve and nearly overturn.

Seeing that Wei Jianlong’s car was in trouble, the Land Cruiser behind them didn’t attempt to flee but instead prepared to assist.

However, they didn’t fare much better.

Ning Che quickly shot out the Land Cruiser’s tires as well, making any escape impossible.

“How many of them are there?” Wei Jianlong asked from inside the car, his voice laced with tension.

“So far, I’ve only seen two!” Zhao Donghai replied.

“Two?”

Wei Jianlong frowned. This wasn’t what he had expected.

At this point, the authorities should be going all out, deploying all their forces.

But there were only two of them—what was going on?

Could they really have only left two people on the shore?

It didn’t seem likely.

“No matter how many there are, let’s get out and deal with them first!” Wei Jianlong commanded.

“Yes, sir!”

The men in the two vehicles seized the moment to exit.

Just then, flashlights illuminated the area, and more than twenty people rushed toward them from different directions.

However, none of them were carrying firearms; they were armed with machetes and other melee weapons.

“I’ll handle the guys in the cars. You take care of the unarmed ones.”

Lin Yi said, handing his two guns to Ning Che in case she ran out of bullets.

“No problem,” Ning Che replied with a smile, showing no signs of tension.

Lin Yi jumped off the boat, while Ning Che stayed behind to cover him.

“Let’s see what kind of scum you really are!” Lin Yi growled as he advanced.
