"How much information have you gotten out of Zhao Renming?"The western man shook his head, "I don’t know either, we just follow orders, we do what we’re told."
Lin Yi nodded, not doubting this explanation.
The Anglo organization has a strict internal structure and hierarchy; they are just out there risking their lives, naturally not qualified to know too much.
Lin Yi turned back and gave Xiao Bing a look.
"Stop his bleeding, take him aside for now; he might still be useful."
"Understood."
Lin Yi turned to the other side, looking at Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui.
"I guess you know why we caught you; I hope you two can cooperate a bit."
Lin Yi’s gaze swept over them both.
"Regarding the Research Institute, I know some things: you and Zhao Renming are each responsible for a part. I won’t make things hard for you, just tell me what you know."
The two exchanged a look and simultaneously glanced at that short-haired westerner.
They had clearly seen the previous scene; the moment Lin Yi acted, they lost their nerve.
And that was Lin Yi’s intention—to make an example of them. Being scientists, there was no need for further words.
"Actually, we’re still in the decoding phase; as for the contents, it’s just speculation." Song Yaguo said.
"Even when it’s speculative, you started experimenting?"
"Yes, Cui Shengguo demanded we decode it quickly and move to experimentation as soon as possible."
"Where is the Sheepskin Scroll kept?"
Compared to other information, this was what Lin Yi was most interested in—this was the purpose of the trip.
"We don’t know; Cui Shengguo only gave us a reproduced version of the Sheepskin Scroll."
"Where are the photos kept?"
For Lin Yi, securing the Sheepskin Scroll wasn’t essential; even having a reproduced version would do since the content was key.
"In the lab’s safe."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, such a storage method was flawless.
But now, with Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui captured, from Cui Shengguo’s perspective, even if these two were released, they would lose his trust.
Now we need to find more reliable people to open the cabin safe and retrieve the reproduced Sheepskin Scroll inside.
Therefore, Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui still held some value.
Lin Yi’s gaze swept over them, his oppressive aura made their faces pale, and they trembled incessantly.
"Do you have any trusted subordinates in the lab who can be contacted to steal the reproduced Sheepskin Scroll?"
The two exchanged a glance, "Yes..."
"What are their names? Do they have access to the safe?"
"My assistant is Che Zaihe; he can access the safe." Song Yaguo said.
"My assistant is Li Yueying; she also can." Su Zhuihui said:
"But the information on the Sheepskin Scroll is divided into three parts, kept by the three of us."
Su Zhuihui’s meaning was clear, one part was under Zhao Renming’s care, so even contacting Che Zaihe and Li Yueying wouldn’t yield the complete version.
This issue was something Lin Yi had considered; the difficulty lay with Zheng Dongyuan.
"I need these two contacts; Xiao Bing, take note."
"Understood."
Lin Yi walked out, standing by the window, while others followed him out one after another.
"Boss, judging from the current situation, Zhao Renming will likely confess these matters. I guess the Anglo people might also know these details, which is why they hastened their actions against Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui," Shao Jianfeng said.
"That’s about right. Once Xiao Bing gets a clear picture of the situation at the Dawn Hotel, we’ll move."
"Do we need to go back to the Research Institute to inquire about these two people?"
"Not for now; I’ll assign Luo Qi to handle this."
"What about Brother Qiang and Sister Ying, do we need to call them back?"
Lin Jiang thought for a moment, shook his head, "They just got married, so let’s leave them out of this task."
"Alright."
At that moment, Xiao Bing came out of the cabin and handed a note to Lin Yi.
"Lin Bro, here are Che Zaihe and Li Yueying’s contact details."
Glancing at the number, Lin Yi took out his phone and dialed Song Zhongtian.
"Is it convenient for you to talk now?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
"Hold on for a moment."
About half a minute later, Song Zhongtian’s voice came through again.
"What do you need from me?"
It was clear Song Zhongtian wasn’t keen on having any dealings with Lin Yi.
After all, everything he had now was hard-earned; if Cui Shengguo discovered it, he’d lose it all.
"Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui have disappeared. Has Cui Shengguo made any new moves?"
"The Research Institute’s security has been upgraded again, a new head has been appointed, and new experimenters are being recruited."
"Pretty quick actions." Lin Yi muttered with a smile, "What about you? Any new assignments from Cui Shengguo?"
"Why are you asking this? I hope you won’t pursue this; we have no relationship."
"It’s too late to say that now because, to me, you’re still useful." Lin Yi smiled softly and said:
"You must understand why I let you go. Otherwise, do you think you could have survived to walk out?"
Over the phone, Song Zhongtian was evidently nervous, his breathing intensified.
"Just answer what I ask and don’t test my patience."
After a long silence, Song Zhongtian spoke:
"We are now in full charge of the lab’s security to ensure nothing like this happens again, and all researchers must stay in the Research Institute, not to go home for the time being."
"So the head of security is you, right?"
"Yes, it’s me."
Lin Yi didn’t continue this subject but turned to other matters.
"Who was recently promoted to head of the Research Institute?"
"Park Hyun-dong, he was originally Zhao Minren’s assistant and temporarily stepped in to oversee lab operations."
"And with Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui missing, hasn’t anyone taken over their work?"
"Yes, Che Zaihe and Li Yueying have taken over respectively."
"I need to meet these two before dawn, so arrange it."
"What exactly are you planning? Don’t go too far!" Song Zhongtian’s emotions flared:
"I know I can’t match you, but don’t think I fear you!"
"There are still more than five hours until dawn. If I can’t meet them, prepare your affairs accordingly."
