"Clean up the site, see if there are any survivors."
Though there’s little hope, it’s still necessary to do what needs to be done.
About 20 minutes passed, and the site was cleared, just as Lin Yi had predicted, leaving no survivors.
Some personnel remained behind to continue deploying in the surrounding area.
Packing up, Lin Yi led his team back to the Central Guards Brigade to report the situation to Liu Hong.
"It seems everything is related to Kidd. Without him, today’s operation would have yielded significant results," Liu Hong said with a cigarette in his mouth:
"This guy is really a headache."
"He’s known as the Fox of Northern Europe. Earning such a title is not without reason."
Lin Yi leaned back in his chair and said:
"Not catching anyone will definitely make subsequent actions more difficult."
"At the very least, all their personnel are dead, so they won’t be able to organize an effective counterattack in the short term. We need to particularly guard against Mammon and the Kaijie Group."
"Kaijie Group’s focus is now on the Lingyun Group, and they seem to be thinking of shorting us, taking advantage of the chaos. They likely won’t be paying much attention here in Jing City."
"This indicates they’re smart, hoping Anglo and Mammon will act as vanguards here to deplete the Central Guard’s vital force. When they come in to reap the benefits, they can also pick up the leftovers here—it’s a win-win situation."
"If Zheng Dongyuan weren’t dead, I suspect their operations wouldn’t be so aggressive. The three forces would likely restrain each other, waiting for the others to act first."
"In the future, your defense focus should continue as before, leaving them no opportunities."
"This defensive offensive stretches the battle line quite long. The people of the Central Guards Brigade are definitely not enough; we’ll need to dispatch additional personnel."
"Don’t bring this up with me. Consult your father-in-law; there’s an opportunity for merit you shouldn’t leave them behind."
Lin Yi smiled, "That’s exactly what I meant."
"By the way, those two were brought back, they’re in the medical room—you should go over and try to glean some information."
"Alright, I’ll head over now."
Leaving Liu Hong’s office, Lin Yi and his three companions went to the Central Guards Brigade’s medical room.
The two lay in beds, hands and feet secured. Despite their vacant eyes, their condition seemed stable, not life-threatening.
Upon seeing Lin Yi enter, the two visibly shivered.
Lin Yi’s name had become synonymous with terror; anyone involved in his missions needed to weigh their own capabilities.
Both looked nervously at Lin Yi, unsure what to say, but fear was evident in their eyes.
"Don’t be nervous, I’m here just to chat with you."
Lin Yi said:
"Your task leader in the Asia-Pacific region is Chen Wending, correct?"
Upon hearing this, the two showed a hint of surprise, not expecting Lin Yi had already dug up this bit of information.
"Yes."
"I’m sure you know your importance to Anglo—they want you dead to prevent leaks. You’re smart, you must know you’ve been abandoned. Without me, you’d have already met God."
Neither refuted Lin Yi’s statement; it was the truth.
"I hope you can cooperate with me and share everything you know."
"What do you want to know?"
"What’s the main objective of your operation this time?"
"To obtain the Sheepskin Scroll held by the Central Guards Brigade."
This was clear to Lin Yi, or rather, it was common knowledge.
"Aside from you two, Mammon and Kaijie Group are also here—you must be wary of them while competing for the scroll, right?"
"You’re right, we’re all wary of each other."
"Do you have any intelligence on these two organizations?"
Anglo’s intelligence capabilities are certainly not weaker than the Central Guards Brigade. Interviewing them on these matters might yield unexpected results.
"Our intelligence personnel found traces near Lou Mountain, but we’re unclear on their exact locations," the Big Beard man said:
"Mammon’s intelligence ability is exceptionally strong; even we struggle to trace them."
To Lin Yi, this wasn’t a lie; otherwise, so many organizations wouldn’t be terrified as if encountering a plague.
But the mention of Lou Mountain plunged Lin Yi into deep thought.
It’s where real combat training happens, and they appeared there immediately as well.
It’s uncertain whether they originally chose Lou Mountain as their base or relocated there afterward.
Either way, it was a clever move, turning the most dangerous place into the safest—oriental philosophy well played.
Regardless of the reason, Lou Mountain definitely needs further investigation.
"What about the Kaijie Group? Any updates on their actions?"
"They seem inactive; I haven’t heard any updates," said the Big Beard man:
"Given your strength, I don’t think you need to worry much about Kaijie Group."
Lin Yi remained silent—the reality matched his expectations. Kaijie Group wasn’t rushing their moves, thus painting a facade of weakness.
With Zheng Dongyuan dead, they’re betting Anglo will rush to regain face and international reputation, initiating action against the Central Guards Brigade.
Thus, they can exploit opportunities covertly.
But finding them anytime soon is unlikely.
Anglo’s forces were wiped out, so there shouldn’t be major movements for now—the Central Guards can focus on Mammon.
"In Corea and Yan Country’s operations, besides Kidd and Chen Wending, was there any higher-level Commander?"
This question seemed to stump them; they didn’t answer immediately and thought for a while.
"There likely is, but we don’t know who. I hope you believe we genuinely don’t know."
"Other contacts will follow; hopefully, you’ll provide more vital information. Whether you survive depends on the importance of what you share."
"Understand."
Leaving the medical room, it was already around midnight.
Lin Yi glanced back at his trio and said:
"Find somewhere to rest; we’ll continue tomorrow."
"Understood."
Lin Yi found a hotel, booked a few rooms, and lay down, sending a message to Ning Che.
"Pay extra attention around Lou Mountain, Mammon might be there."
