Chapter 3982: Refined Custody Protocol

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

After speaking, Lin Yi hung up the phone, and at this moment, Xiao Bing walked over.

"Lin Bro, I’ve figured out the situation at the Dawn Hotel," Xiao Bing said:

"There are a total of 19 floors. Zheng Dongyuan and his men are likely here, but the 18th floor is not open for business. The remaining seventeen floors are still receiving clients as usual. I guess the 18th floor is used as a buffer zone to prevent their actions from being discovered."

"If there are still 17 floors that are open to customers, it’s good for us. It helps to conceal our identities," Shao Jianfeng said.

"The most troublesome person now should be Zheng Dongyuan, but I think that with the boss’s ability, dealing with him shouldn’t be a problem," Zhang Chaoyue said.

"Not necessarily, this person is unbelievably strong, and you can’t evaluate him with the previous perspectives."

Everyone was puzzled, all looking at Lin Yi.

"Boss, do you know this person? Have you crossed paths with him?"

"No, but I’ve heard of him," Lin Yi said:

"When he was young, this person studied at the same school as Song Jinmin. In our words, they are like senior and junior apprentices."

"What?!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Song Jinmin has a very high evaluation of this junior apprentice, so we can’t be careless."

"Damn! He actually has such an identity!"

The group was so shocked they couldn’t speak.

They didn’t know how strong Zheng Dongyuan was, but they knew how fierce Song Jinmin was.

In their hearts, Lin Yi was considered invincible with emotional support. No matter what kind of opponent he encountered, they didn’t worry.

But Song Jinmin was different. They all agreed that Lin Yi couldn’t beat Song Jinmin.

That guy was strong like a monster, impossible to win against.

And the person called Zheng Dongyuan, being recognized by him, certainly wouldn’t be weak. This mission might be more challenging than imagined.

"Why are you all wearing long faces? No matter how formidable, he’s still just a person."

"The main thing is that even Song Jinmin evaluated him like that, so he must be strong. This mission is not easy to handle."

"Even so, it doesn’t warrant that reaction."

"Boss, although we are not afraid, the person facing him is you, haha..."

Shao Jianfeng laughed, and others followed suit.

"Damn."

Lin Yi moved a bit and said:

"For this action, just keep a calm mindset. Even if we don’t complete it, it’s fine."

Everyone looked at Lin Yi.

"Boss, even if we’re thinking about safety, we should strive to complete the mission," Zhao Yunhu said.

"That’s not what I meant," Lin Yi said:

"Anglo’s people have already captured Zhao Renming, and it’s very likely they’ve contacted that person named Park Hyun-dong. They might even have obtained a shadow version of the Sheepskin Scroll and handed it over to the internal organization. In this case, trying to get the full version again is almost impossible. Now, we can only go after the remaining two parts. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Lin Bro, you mean this is a mission that was impossible to complete from the start."

"Exactly," Lin Yi said:

"You guys go back and continue the interrogation. Find out everything about Dawn Hotel and Wuzhe Mountain Laboratory."

"Understood."

The team went back. Lin Yi sat alone by the seaside, quietly waiting.

Meanwhile, he was also organizing the next tasks in his mind to avoid any mistakes.

The matters concerning Zheng Dongyuan were inadvertently mentioned during a chat with Song Jinmin before.

From his tone, it seemed that this person named Zheng Dongyuan might be even stronger.

Because he had a higher evaluation than Bikid and Alvis.

This indicates that his strength might be greater; otherwise, he wouldn’t carry so much weight in Song Jinmin’s eyes.

With his current strength, even facing Bikid and Alvis, he could only barely hold on, and defeating them was unlikely.

Facing a possibly stronger Zheng Dongyuan, his chances of winning were even slimmer.

If it came to a fight, it would be easy for him to hold Lin Yi back.

The other team members, when facing his subordinates, surely wouldn’t get any advantage.

After all, this wasn’t the island, and firearms could be used here.

In such a situation, the impact of individual strength would be greatly reduced.

If they acted rashly, the danger would double, and there might even be casualties.

They needed to think of a foolproof method, ideally completing the mission without facing them directly.

But after thinking it over, he couldn’t come up with a feasible plan.

The only breakthrough might be Song Zhongtian.

If he helped to contact Che Zaihe and Li Yueying, things would be much easier.

But whether they could get the Sheepskin Scroll was still uncertain; it could only be said there was a chance.

Dammit.

There seems to be something about this land of Corea.

With tens of millions in population, two monster-like people came out.

Buzz buzz buzz—

As dawn broke, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was an unknown number.

"I’ve contacted the people. Now I can arrange for you to meet."

The speaker was Song Zhongtian, using a new phone.

At this moment, Lin Yi finally felt relieved. As long as he could contact those two people, there was a good chance of getting the Sheepskin Scroll by other means.

"Where?"

"28 South Court Road."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Lin Yi returned to the cabin.

"I’m heading out; you guys watch over them here. Contact me immediately if there’s a problem."

"Boss, let me go with you," Shao Jianfeng said.

"No need, I’m going to meet someone. It’s inconvenient with too many people. Stay here and wait for my news."

No one said anything, but they all looked at Lin Yi with mournful eyes.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Lin Bro, are you planning to go solo?" Xiao Bing pouted like a resentful woman, saying:

"I’m telling you, if you keep doing this, we won’t stick with you anymore."

"What nonsense, we’re all here to earn our paychecks. I can’t do it all by myself; just wait for my news."

Having said a few words, Lin Yi left.

Before leaving, Lin Yi checked his weapons again to feel assured.

The journey of dozens of kilometers, Lin Yi drove the car at maximum speed, reaching the destination in just over half an hour.

This was a suburb, with low houses on both sides. The so-called 28 was just an abandoned small factory, and one of its buildings had collapsed.

Lin Yi looked around and found no ambush. It seemed safe for the time being.

Driving over, he parked the cars side by side. Song Zhongtian also saw Lin Yi’s car.

"Get in."

As he spoke, Lin Yi raised his gun, aiming at Song Zhongtian’s head to prevent him from backing out.

Song Zhongtian remained calm, but the two people sitting in the back were so scared, they were almost huddled together.

"Get in the car. As long as you listen, he won’t kill anyone."
