Chapter 2220: Chapter 2221: Did I Disturb You?

“Don’t share the content of our conversation today with anyone.”

“What if someone else interrogates me?”

“That won’t happen. I’ll have someone take over the case afterward,” Lin Yi whispered, “and in a few days, you’ll be out. After all, you’ve earned your redemption through your crimes.”

Hearing this, Leng Jianshu relaxed a lot and kept nodding and bowing profusely to Lin Yi.

“Thank you, thank you.”

“No need for thanks, it’s what you deserve,” Lin Yi said, “However, this matter isn’t over. You’ll be held accountable for every word you said. If there is any lie, not only you but your entire family won’t have good days ahead. I mean what I say.”

“I, I didn’t lie; every word I said is true,” Leng Jianshu stammered, “it was really given to me by him, not one word is false.”

“That you can make such a guarantee is excellent,” Lin Yi said, “But don’t be afraid. As long as you’ve told the truth, I guarantee you won’t have any trouble.”

“I swear to heaven, every word I said is true. If there is any falsehood, may lightning strike me down.”

“Your word is good enough.”

By the time Lin Yi had finished with all his business and left the precinct, it was after six in the evening. He didn’t go to pick up Ji Qingyan and drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion instead.

On the way back, Lin Yi called Chen Bingqiang and arranged things for Leng Jianshu, finding a reason to release him.

However, one matter was still preventing Lin Yi from calming his mind for a long time.

The transaction partner for Hongmen this time was a power from Zhong Hai.

But who in Zhong Hai had the capacity to make such a transaction?

When Lin Yi returned to Jiuzhou Pavilion, he found nobody was there.

After a phone call, he learned that several of them had gone out to sea for fishing.

While waiting for them to return, Lin Yi sent a WeChat video call to Liu Hong.

The Liu Hong on the other side of the video, wearing a white tank top and with a cigarette in his mouth, was indistinguishable from a sleazy middle-aged man.

If such a photo were to be posted online, no one would imagine that this grease-stained middle-aged figure could be a boss capable of taking down ninety percent of men in China.

Lin Yi had even estimated once that with his current level, defeating Liu Hong was nearly impossible.

“What’s up, is there an issue… shit, you little jerk, why are you stealing my kill in the game, you idiot…”

Lin Yi: …

“Something’s come up in Zhong Hai; stop playing around.”

“Wait a minute, honey…”

Liu Hong shouted out, and soon, a middle-aged woman in pajamas came in from outside.

The woman was casually dressed, exuding an air of intellectual beauty.

Lin Yi cursed to himself that a prime cabbage had been claimed by a pig.

“Got a bit of work to handle, take over my game for a bit.”

“Alright, go.”

Liu Hong left with his phone to the balcony.

“Did you get something from Ma Dehong?”

“He’s dead; I can only interrogate him in dreams tonight.”

“What? He’s dead? How come I didn’t know about this?”

“I guess the Songjiang precinct didn’t think it was important, so they didn’t report it,” Lin Yi said, “But I got some other information. Keep an eye on your email; I’ll send it now.”

Although he could use WeChat, Lin Yi chose to use the internal email of the Central Guards Brigade for security reasons, sending the letter left by Ma Dehong to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong’s brows furrowed as he read the content of the letter.

“Can you guarantee the accuracy of the information?”

“I’m about seventy percent certain. I can’t be too sure about the specifics, but that Leng Jianshu seemed rather sincere, so he probably didn’t lie.”

Liu Hong thought for a few seconds, “I also feel Ma Dehong wouldn’t play tricks; he’s already been killed, so naturally he can’t act as their bait anymore.”

“That’s what I thought,” Lin Yi said, “But from the Central Guard’s perspective, Hongmen is a big problem. We can’t keep them around any longer, or it’s a ticking time bomb.”

“I’ve already brought it up with Elder Lu before, but he said to wait, so it’s been on hold ever since.”

“Back then, Team Four had just withdrawn, and Shianggang is a sensitive place. If we moved on Hongmen, it would inevitably add many enemies, but now, I think it should be fine. Report back to Elder Lu.”

Liu Hong nodded, “You guys from Team One handle this; I’ll have Yuluo’s Team Two give remote support.”

“Understood.”

Lin Yi acknowledged and hung up the call.

As the sky grew darker, Lin Yi paced back and forth alone in the spacious living room.

An indescribable irritation was swirling in his chest; he even pulled out some cigarettes that he hadn’t smoked in a long while and lit up several in a row.

About an hour later, Xiao Bing and the others returned to Jiuzhou Pavilion and even brought back dinner for Lin Yi.

They were all laughing and seemed to have had a good time.

“Lin Bro, is there a situation?” Xiao Bing asked once back.

“I went to the Songjiang precinct, Ma Dehong is dead.”

“Dead!”

At this news, everyone’s expressions came to a sudden halt.

This was somewhat unexpected for them.

“He was secretly killed. As for who did it, we haven’t found out yet.”

“He was in custody, and yet someone was able to do this. It’s possible we have a mole.”

“No need to rush with this or to worry about it.” Lin Yi cleared his throat, “Find a spot to sit down. Meeting starts now; we have a new task.”

Without any fuss, everyone found a seat, waiting for Lin Yi to assign tasks.

“I’ve got information that on December 23, Hongmen will be conducting an E-class serum deal with a buyer from Zhong Hai. The location is Happy Valley in Shianggang, at nine in the evening, seat numbers 14-35 and 14-36. I need you all to head over there.”

“Man, Hongmen’s really getting bolder, even daring to pull this off,” Sui Qiang said.

“They really need a good beating.”

“Now here’s the chance,” Zhang Chaoyue said with a laugh, “As the saying goes, you don’t die unless you ask for it. We were still looking for an opportunity to deal with them, and they’ve come right to us.”

“So, this operation might be even more aggressive than last time; be mentally prepared.”

“Understood, always ready!” everyone stood and said.

Squeeak—

Before Lin Yi could continue, a sound of screeching brakes came from the yard, and everyone inside instinctively looked over.

Lin Yi saw that the car parked outside was Ji Qingyan’s Maserati.

He was a bit surprised, as he hadn’t expected her to come at this time.

And when Ji Qingyan came in with bags big and small and saw the scene inside the house, she too was surprised. She hadn’t expected so many people to be at Lin Yi’s home.

“Am I, am I interrupting?”
