Chapter 2969: Chapter 2969: The True Purpose
"The key to the problem lies here. The nature of things changes when you dare to make a move against Boss Liu," Lin Yi said:
"Although there’s no immediate danger to life, it’s still better to get there as soon as possible."
"What about Brother Qiang and Sister Ying? Both of them have reached C-level, and they are the main combat strength apart from you."
Lin Yi remained silent in contemplation. After a long pause, he spoke:
"This matter is somewhat complicated, but I couldn’t really figure out the pros and cons. Let’s treat them as an insurance card and not involve them in our actions."
"Oh, understood."
Soon, the plane took off.
Lin Yi remained silent and didn’t speak.
As they were about to land, he sent a message and assigned other tasks, not requiring them to act together.
After the plane landed, part of Group 3 also gathered at the airport.
A little later, at around three in the morning, everyone except Sui Qiang and Yu Siying had gathered and boarded Lin Yi’s private jet.
"Fly to Bulage first?"
Seeing the flight path, Ning Che said in surprise.
"It’s closer to Dresden, about a hundred kilometers away. We can drive over. The situation is unclear now, so infiltrating slowly is safer." Lin Yi said:
"Let’s first talk about the situation on the ground. What’s going on exactly?"
"After hearing the Ninth Department’s findings, Boss Liu went to the local base intending to hold a meeting and deploy tasks but got followed in the process," Ning Che said.
"That’s unlikely," Lin Yi said:
"Although he practices Immortal Cultivation daily in the office, he still has skills. An ordinary person can’t follow him."
"So my guess is that the base might have been watched long ago, and they seized this opportunity to act," Ning Che said:
"That’s roughly the situation now."
"Did they have a conflict?"
"The front and back doors were sealed off, leading to a small-scale conflict," Ning Che said:
"The other side has weapons, so Boss Liu and the local colleagues didn’t dare to act."
"Well prepared indeed," Lin Yi muttered, then said:
"Can we still contact Boss Liu?"
"The signal is jammed, so contact is only occasional, but from the situation on the ground, it’s not too bad. They should find a way to contact us."
"With Boss Liu overseeing, the problem shouldn’t be too big," Lin Yi said:
"So the next step is to find out who the mastermind is."
Ning Che shrugged, "I can’t think of anyone other than the Gongyuan Association."
"But the problem is that it’s the Ninth Department’s headquarters. As a public organization, they wouldn’t ignore it if Boss Liu just made a call."
Lin Yi’s words, to some extent, served as a wake-up call for Ning Che.
"You mean the people from the Ninth Department know about this but chose not to help?"
"No, things could be worse than you imagine."
After a pause, Lin Yi said:
"You could imagine this was a conspiracy arranged from the very beginning."
"Conspiracy!"
"Exactly!" Lin Yi said:
"If I remember correctly, the Ninth Department originally planned for our entire team to go over, right?"
"Indeed, but the regiment didn’t agree, so Boss Liu went instead," Ning Che said:
"But if something like this happens at Boss Liu’s level, the nature of the issue changes."
Everyone listened carefully, understanding what Ning Che meant.
In terms of personal ability, Lin Yi was stronger than Liu Hong.
But Liu Hong’s rank was far above Lin Yi.
If Lin Yi died, the most severe retaliation might come from his father.
But if Liu Hong died, it would be a direct affront!
This enormous war machine might start operating, shaking the entire world.
"I also thought of this, but there’s a problem we’ve overlooked."
Ning Che said nothing, waiting for Lin Yi to continue.
"Think about it. We’ve clashed with the Gongyuan Association many times, but we’ve always gained the upper hand."
"Not only have I killed several Grand Wardens, but the Execution Team members have also been killed. Adding the previous Storm Team, they’ve lost face. If they don’t do something, they can’t restore their reputation worldwide."
"You mean they really intend to target Boss Liu?"
"Yes, that would settle the score."
"Does the Gongyuan Association really have the guts?"
"Of course not, but Anglo does," Lin Yi said:
"Although the Ninth Department relies on support from various countries to keep operating, their independence is quite strong. They wouldn’t do this for the Gongyuan Association, but if Anglo is the perpetrator, it makes sense."
"If it really is Anglo, this becomes complicated."
"Don’t be so pessimistic yet; this is just my speculation," Lin Yi said:
"At least the current situation isn’t as bad as you think."
"Honestly, I’m a bit confused by their tactics too. They’ve only surrounded them without further actions."
"That’s because they’ve learned military strategy. This is called ’Please the Monarch Inside the Urn.’
"They’re waiting for us to go over?"
"That’s a possibility."
"I know Anglo is strong, but saying they can face Yan Country and your father at the same time, I don’t believe it."
"But don’t forget, we have the new ore. If they capture us and Boss Liu, do you think they might use us as leverage to exchange for the ore?"
"Damn, so that’s their real intention."
"That’s why I say not to doubt their ambition and not to underestimate Anglo’s courage. Not only us and Boss Liu, but even Elder Lu, they’d dare to stir up trouble."
Lin Yi stretched and said:
"That’s about all I can analyze for now. Let’s not stay tense; the situation isn’t that dire. At least, there’s no danger to life."
"Alright, find a place to rest. We have over ten hours of flight, so let’s conserve our energy."
Ning Ning called out, and people from Group 2 and Group 3 found places to rest.
Afterward, Ning Che turned off the lights in the cabin.
The cabin fell into darkness and silence.
Lin Yi sat in the chair with his eyes closed, resting silently.
As a comrade fighting alongside, Ning Che knew Lin Yi needed time to think.
How to handle the upcoming tasks and what results could be achieved all depended on what solutions he could come up with.
Ning Che lit a cigarette, rubbing her temples.
After spending so much time together, she felt her brain was getting dull.
Quietly, Ning Che watched Lin Yi.
The starry sky outside, with its dim light, shone upon his profile.
Leaving an impression of profound depth.
