Chapter 2981: Chapter 2981: Unexpected News

Boom—

Boom—

The explosion came, along with four cars, all shattered into fragments.

The narrow alley simply couldn’t withstand such an impact.

Fire and debris rapidly spread to both sides of the alley.

As if a fiery dragon opening its fierce mouth, swallowing everyone standing inside!

The person who first issued the retreat command also realized this.

Knowing that in such an environment, it was very unfavorable for him.

But he was still a step behind, though this insight still earned Lin Yi’s approval.

The explosion’s power was limited; the people below weren’t all dead, but were injured to various extents.

They couldn’t form effective combat power anymore.

"Let’s go, it’s not safe here anymore," Liu Hong said.

Lin Yi nodded, the two opened the door from inside the house and quietly left amid the chaos.

Due to the explosion, all the nearby residents were awakened.

Residents within a range of one or two hundred meters were affected, rushing out of their homes, wanting to know what had happened.

The number of people on the street increased, causing chaos in the entire block.

This made their escape much easier, and they managed to take out a batch of enemies, killed two birds with one stone.

After escaping, Lin Yi and Liu Hong dashed along.

Dawn was approaching, and they dared not delay any time.

But things didn’t go as planned.

They hadn’t run far when Anglo’s people appeared in front again.

"These people’s discipline is really strong," Lin Yi said.

"It’s not the time for admiration now. Without these skills, they wouldn’t be able to control the Gongyuan Association."

Lin Yi nodded, the two temporarily abandoned their escape plan and decided to find a place to settle down first, and besides, dawn was coming.

But it wasn’t until dawn that they found a temporarily safe place.

Like yesterday, after evading pursuit, the two reached the rooftop of a residential building.

But unlike yesterday, this time Lin Yi had taken the initiative.

For him, this was just a temporary foothold, as their pursuers would catch up soon.

Yet, just when they thought they could relax a bit, suddenly a loud noise came from the distant horizon.

They saw unexpectedly, two helicopters flying nearer!

"Damn, they’re even using this stuff?"

Lin Yi complained and stood up with Liu Hong.

It didn’t take much thought to know that above, there were surely infrared thermal imaging and facial recognition.

If they exposed themselves to the open view, they would be easily discovered.

But given the current situation, the problem wasn’t big.

As long as they found shelter, they could avoid tracking, but escaping would be even more difficult.

After standing up, the two went to the equipment room on the rooftop, which for now seemed safe.

With a chance to breathe, Lin Yi noticed his phone kept ringing, all messages from Ning Che.

"They probably know what’s happening inside, reply and let them know we’re safe," Liu Hong said.

Lin Yi nodded and dialed back to Ning Che.

"We’re safe now, how’s the situation on your side?"

"We’re outside the city, everything’s fine here," Ning Che responded immediately and said:

"How are you and Boss Liu? There was an explosion in the city, it must have been your doing, right?"

"Just caused some small accidents for easier escape," Lin Yi said:

"Boss Liu’s style remains unchanged; his positioning is crafty. We were too young before."

"Boss’s glorious deeds are endless; though now he’s bald and ugly, his abilities are beyond doubt."

"I damn!"

Liu Hong just wanted to praise her but upon hearing the second half, he wanted nothing more than to kick her.

"What’s your next plan? We can provide enough support from here."

"We need to sort out things further, you hide well and follow Boss Liu’s arrangements."

"Okay."

After hanging up on Ning Che, Lin Yi tossed his phone aside.

"Boss, now it’s time for your strategy planning."

Liu Hong sat cross-legged on the ground, then lit a cigarette.

"We are safe now; just contact domestic official forces, we can leave anytime."

"That’s really a good idea."

Liu Hong impatiently waved his hand, saying:

"Stop babbling; we think differently. Let’s hear yours."

"But you’re the leader, not like me."

"Even leaders have temper, alright," Liu Hong said:

"Being locked inside for days, I’m full of anger. If I don’t execute a defensive counter-attack, I wouldn’t be a man."

Liu Hong’s confidence came mainly because the person before him was Lin Yi.

He was confident that with his and Lin Yi’s abilities, as long as the situation hadn’t turned extremely severe, leaving here would certainly be feasible.

Or as long as the situation was still within his control, he could act recklessly.

Otherwise, as the leader of the Central Guards Brigade, he wouldn’t be so aggressive.

Lin Yi also lit a cigarette, saying:

"When we arrived, we analyzed that it’s unlikely only Anglo’s involved, likely there’s the Ninth Department shadow. Now unable to find the mastermind, we can cut Nine Department’s people first."

"How to cut? Do away with Robid?" Liu Hong said, holding a cigarette:

"Be careful dealing with Nine Department people; their identity is sensitive."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be too hasty. Although he still holds some power, with Anglo’s ability, they shouldn’t interface with people of his level."

Liu Hong sat cross-legged, like a living Buddha, but the cigarette in his hand made it somewhat incongruous.

"You mean, the entire Ninth Department has infiltrated."

"Quite likely," Lin Yi said:

"Think about it, even a mere Gongyuan Association has reached into various industries. How many of the foreign business elites are their people? Now it’s Anglo, the level must be higher."

"Now the problem is how to tackle this matter; we’ve never taken Nine Department seriously, but remember they’re part of the Arbitration Court. If mishandled, the Arbitration Court intervenes, and it’s a big trouble."

"I’ve thought it through; if trouble arises, blame it on Poker. After all, they have a bad reputation; a dead pig fears no boiling water."

"With a son like you, Lin Jingzhan truly suffers."

"Don’t say that; my mom would also support me."

"Let’s not talk about this; tell me your thoughts," Liu Hong earnestly said.

"Although this matter has higher-level Ninth Department involvement, our breakthrough should still be with Robid; it’s easier to wrap it up this way."

After contemplating for a few seconds, Liu Hong nodded.

"It’s worth trying; since he was involved in the prior island operation, he must know something."

"That’s exactly my thought."

Lin Yi stood up and stretched, "After messing around for such a long time, I’ll get something to eat, once we’re full, we’ll act."

"Get me a bottle of whiskey; haven’t had it for a long time."

Lin Yi: ...

Buzz buzz—

Just then, Liu Hong’s phone rang.

He took it out and saw it was Ning Che’s call.

Liu Hong opened the speakerphone and set it aside, "What’s up?"

"The head of the Third Executive Bureau, Robid, is dead."
