After seeing Yan Ci off, Lin Yi gave Qiu Yuluo a call.They had succeeded on their end as well.
They caught the owner of KT Bar and were conducting an interrogation.
With the two of them handling this, Lin Yi didn’t plan to get involved further.
So, he drove to meet up with Team One.
An hour later, Lin Yi drove to the outskirts.
The two He brothers were brought to a slum area scheduled for demolition.
It was deep in the night, pitch black.
The two were tied to chairs, with Team One standing by.
The interrogation hadn’t started yet.
Seeing Lin Yi approach, the two, deathly pale, were filled with fear.
"No need to be nervous. Just tell us what you know, and aim for leniency."
"Team Leader Lin, I want to talk to you privately," said He Shudong.
"How do you propose we talk? Buy me off?"
Lin Yi said without expression,
"The money you might give me probably isn’t even what I earn in a day, so forget it."
He Shudong fell silent, as this was exactly what he had in mind.
"Let me be clear with you—now is not the time to think of other things. With the amount of money you’ve made, I’m not impressed in the slightest."
Lin Yi pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Although we’re just humble workers, if we really compared our assets, you wouldn’t even measure up," Lin Yi said,
"Today, as I sit here, it’s impossible for me to give you another chance. To summarize, no amount of pleading will help you, so don’t get your hopes up. Just say what needs to be said, and don’t make it hard on yourselves."
The two remained silent for a long time, neither saying a word.
Their expressions showed that they seemed resigned to their fate.
For them, if it were anyone else standing there, they might still have a chance to negotiate.
But it was Lin Yi sitting before them, the Merit Team Leader of the Central Guards Brigade and Liang Xianghe’s protege.
His presence almost equaled delivering their death sentence.
"How long have you been in contact?" Lin Jiang asked.
"More than a year," He Shudong replied.
Lin Yi calculated in his head and said,
"So, since Chen Zhiyi became the team leader, you’ve already begun collaborating, haven’t you?"
He Shudong nodded, confirming Lin Yi’s assumption.
"Besides selling out Chen Zhiyi and the Chieftain’s information, what else did you leak?"
"Instrument data and reports."
"Go on."
"Apart from these, the rest were inconsequential," He Shuchun added.
"Team Leader Lin, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know, but I hope you’ll be lenient with us. Besides money, we can offer you other benefits. Both you and the Liang family would benefit."
"Once again, I do not need those things," Lin Yi replied,
"And your entire family poses no threat to us. Like I said earlier, stop dreaming of things you can’t have—being honest is your only way out."
Having finished, Lin Yi stood up and called Sui Qiang over.
"Stay and continue with the interrogation. Don’t overlook any details, and try to pull in a few more people."
"Understood."
"Keep the interrogation going."
With that said, Lin Yi drove away.
All matters were essentially wrapped up, leaving only the aftermath to deal with.
Now it was just a matter of seeing how many more could be caught.
As for the benefits He Shuchun mentioned, Lin Yi knew what they were.
But at this point, they were completely unnecessary.
With such a grand event tied to their family, everyone related might get implicated.
The promise he offered could be considered worthless.
After all, they couldn’t even protect themselves now.
It would be interesting to see how many more people they could catch from KT Bar.
In short, with work largely done, Lin Yi could look forward to a good rest period.
Due to Yan Ci, after finishing up, Lin Yi didn’t return to the Liang family; instead, he went to a hotel.
Yan Ci hadn’t gone to bed, was still in a bathrobe, watching a series.
"Are all your matters settled?"
Upon seeing Lin Yi enter, Yan Ci hopped off the bed and leapt onto him.
Holding her up, Lin Yi said,
"There’s no more need for me now."
"What plans do you have for the next few days?"
"There’s a university film festival to attend, and then the usual networking—nothing too important," she replied.
"Didn’t you say there was a small issue with the film? How do you plan to handle it?"
"It’s insignificant stuff, just He Shudong stirring trouble. Now that he’s in trouble, I just need a little maneuvering to resolve it. You don’t need to worry."
Lin Yi nodded.
He understood Yan Ci’s character well; she wouldn’t resort to seeking his help unless absolutely necessary.
He decided to let her handle it herself, as long as there were no safety issues.
After a brief chat, Yan Ci urged Lin Yi to the bathroom.
After the bath, they were like a spark igniting the earth.
A passionate battle was about to unfold.
(1839,000 characters omitted...)
When they woke up the next morning, it was past ten o’clock.
After getting up, Lin Yi called Team One to inquire about the interrogation.
Both cooperated well and shared a lot of information. There were no hitches during the interrogation.
As expected by Lin Yi.
He Shuchun was from the Central Guards Brigade, aware of these methods.
If he didn’t cooperate, he’d only be courting death.
After finishing the call, Lin Yi called Qiu Yuluo.
Comparatively, the KT Bar owner was tougher to handle.
But there was no need to worry too much—just take the interrogation slowly.
"The toothpaste is ready, come brush your teeth," Yan Ci called from the bathroom.
Lin Yi nodded and prepared to wash up.
Ring ring ring—
Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was an unknown number.
"Team Leader Lin, I’m He Yaoming, father of He Shudong and He Shuchun."
The caller identified himself. Lin Yi’s expression remained calm; he anticipated this happening.
"Mr. He," Lin Yi chuckled,
"How’s the health been lately?"
"Thanks to you, fairly well," He Yaoming replied,
"I wonder if Team Leader Lin has time. I’ve brewed some good tea and would like to invite you over."
"I’ve been quite busy lately, I won’t be able to make it. I’ll definitely visit another time."
"Surely Team Leader Lin wouldn’t deny me this favor?"
"It’s not about denying a favor, but the circumstances don’t allow it," Lin Yi replied with a smile,
"This is a sensitive time; it would be inappropriate for me to come over. Please understand, Mr. He."
After a moment of silence, He Yaoming lowered his tone.
"Is there really no room for negotiation?"
"Heh..."
Lin Yi let out a cold laugh,
"What do you think?"
