Chapter 3992: Real Fakes

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

After leaving the administrative building of the Central Guards Brigade, the team was waiting for him in the car outside.

Once Lin Yi came out, the group headed to the airport.

Over two hours later, the plane landed at the airport, and Qiu Yuluo sent people to coordinate. The group got into two SUVs parked outside and went to a hotel called Lishui Hotel, to meet with the second team.

"Has the Cui family made any new moves?"

No one wasted time, and after the two teams met up, they began discussing the subsequent plan.

"They should have reached an agreement. This morning, members of the Angry Sea Organization collectively appeared at Jinshan Group. They probably intend to use the photocopy version of the Sheepskin Scroll to exchange for Cui Shengguo."

"Where are they now? Do we know when they will make a move?"

"We don’t know yet, but I guess it’s very likely tonight."

"Seems like I came at just the right time."

Lin Yi squinted his eyes, realizing he also had to quickly get into gear and couldn’t afford to waste time anymore.

He took out his phone and dialed Song Zhongtian’s number, simultaneously turning on the speakerphone so others could hear the conversation.

"My friend, long time no see," Lin Yi said, chuckling.

"Why are you calling me again? I’ve already completed the task for you. We have no relations anymore. Do not contact me again."

"No, no, no, this time I’m contacting you not to ask for help but to thank you, or perhaps, it’s to save your life."

"What do you mean, saving my life?" Song Zhongtian was puzzled.

"Cui Shengguo was kidnapped, and I believe Cui Xiaodong will send you to rescue him, correct?"

"How do you know this information?"

"You don’t need to know that. But I guess your plan isn’t to rescue the hostage but to exchange the photocopy version of the Sheepskin Scroll."

Song Zhongtian was silent, because that was exactly the plan.

"Not saying anything means you agree. But I guess what Cui Xiaodong means is that you won’t hand over the photocopy version of the Sheepskin Scroll unless absolutely necessary."

"That’s right."

Lin Yi smiled and changed the topic.

"I think you can also guess who kidnapped Cui Shengguo, right?"

"I know, it’s the Anglo people."

"You guys are also mixing on the island, and you know what level Anglo is. If you don’t give them what they want, do you think you can get out safely?"

"What on earth do you want? Just say it directly."

"If you want to get out safely, you must hand over the photocopy version of the Sheepskin Scroll, but Cui Xiaodong won’t allow you to do so, making it difficult for you right now."

Song Zhongtian was silent, because that was indeed the case.

"I have a way now to let you keep the photocopy version of the Sheepskin Scroll and rescue Cui Shengguo. Interested in cooperating with me?" Lin Yi said.

"Are you sure?"

"We’ve collaborated once before; do you think I would lie to you? If I don’t even have this bit of credibility, how can I keep mixing in the field?"

Lin Yi spoke in a relaxed tone, already in control, leaving Song Zhongtian with no choice.

"What’s the plan?"

"Find a place, let’s meet."

"Okay, I’ll send you the address now. Don’t waste any time."

"No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi quickly received Song Zhongtian’s message.

"You guys stay here, I’ll go out for a while."

While talking, Lin Yi also picked up the three parts fabricated Sheepskin Scroll, preparing to go out.

At this moment, Yu Siying, Xiao Bing, and Luo Qi all stood up, staring at Lin Yi with an ominous look.

This left the second team confused.

What’s happening?

"We’re going with you," Xiao Bing said.

Lin Yi scratched his head uneasily, "This time, there’s really nothing else going on. I can go alone."

"You said the same thing last time."

"This..."

Lin Yi wanted to find another excuse, but seeing the state of the three women, he thought he probably couldn’t leave without agreeing to them.

"Alright, let’s go together."

"That’s more like it."

The four set off together, with Luo Qi driving the car. After about half an hour, they arrived at a small road in the suburbs.

They soon saw a car not far away.

"Lin Bro, that should be the target vehicle up front, right?" Luo Qi said.

Lin Yi nodded; this was the car Song Zhongtian was driving during their previous meeting.

"Stay alert."

Yu Siying alerted, and the three women drew their guns, aiming in various directions.

Even though they had experienced this once before, being cautious never hurts. Their actions were justified.

Luo Qi drove single-handedly, slowly pulling up next to Song Zhongtian, and Xu Siying aimed her gun at his head.

Seeing this, Song Zhongtian remained calm. It was the same situation during their last meeting, only with different people this time.

"Get in the car."

Lin Yi signaled, and Song Zhongtian got into the backseat.

"You really know how to enjoy life, bringing three women to meet me."

Compared to last time, Song Zhongtian’s expression was much more relaxed, not forgetting to tease Lin Yi.

Because he could confirm, the man before him was somehow different from the others.

Though ruthless, he could be counted on to keep his word.

"There’s no choice; I have the means at home."

Lin Yi laughed heartily, "Their standards should be higher than those female secretaries around the tycoons, right?"

"Hmm, you know how to enjoy better than I do."

"Alright, it’s not time for reminiscing; let’s talk business."

Song Zhongtian nodded, waiting for Lin Yi to continue speaking.

"What are you prepared to rescue Cui Shengguo with, and how will you do it?"

"Tonight, at three in the morning, the other party gave us a trading address," Song Zhongtian said:

"They want us to bring the photocopy version of the Sheepskin Scroll to exchange for Cui Shengguo’s life."

Lin Yi looked at his watch; it was now after six in the afternoon, with less than nine hours left until their transaction.

"So Cui Xiaodong still has other copies of the Sheepskin Scroll,"

"Hmm." Song Zhongtian nodded,

"But you can also guess that he intends to use the Sheepskin Scroll as bait for rescuing Cui Shengguo."

"Haha..."

Lin Yi laughed heartily, "He might not know what level Anglo is at,"

Song Zhongtian was silent, unsure of what to say.

In fact, not only Cui Xiaodong, even he didn’t know what kind of people Anglo really were.

Only aware that their power was extremely strong, with formidable influence worldwide, but he had never dealt directly with them.

"According to Cui Xiaodong’s plan, the photocopy version of the Sheepskin Scroll is only bait; it can’t be handed over," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"He intends to rely on the strength of the Angry Sea Organization itself to eliminate those who kidnapped his son, isn’t that right?"
