Chapter 4129: Tit for Tat

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The night battle didn’t last long; it was over in less than an hour.

Because the Central Guards Brigade’s base is in the suburbs, there aren’t many people around.

Furthermore, preparations had been made beforehand, so the three-way battle did not cause much impact.

When Lin Yi returned, the Central Guards Brigade was brightly lit.

The three captured individuals were also brought under control.

"Have the people been captured?"

Back in the combat meeting room, all the executives of the Central Guards Brigade looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi shook his head, "Anglo’s expert came."

"Expert?"

"Higher level than a regional manager; already at S-Class, took Chen Wending away."

"S-Class!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the meeting room looked solemn.

The appearance of S-Class personnel was unexpected for them.

This also sufficiently indicates that the level of this event is higher than they imagined, and the difficulties the Central Guards Brigade faces are greater than imagined.

It also proves the importance of the Sheepskin Scroll from another perspective.

Having been kicked by Orsich, Lin Yi slowly walked over.

The deputy director of the intelligence department helped Lin Yi over.

"The few people internally cooperating with them have all been caught by us. Without inside help, I guess they won’t dare act rashly."

Leaning on the chair, Lin Yi frowned.

"But we need to reinforce our defenses during this time; even if we don’t catch anyone, it’s okay. We just have to ensure anyone who comes dies."

"Team Leader Lin, I disagree with your approach."

The speaker sat opposite Lin Yi, the head of the Central Guards Brigade Equipment Support Department, named Ma Hengwen.

"This operation saw significant sacrifices from the Brigade, with the aim of annihilating the enemy. So far, we’ve only killed some minor characters, with none of the big fish captured. This operation, in terms of the Central Guards Brigade’s illustrious history, is a failure."

As soon as this was said, everyone’s eyes focused on Ma Hengwen.

Liu Hong sat in the chair, glancing briefly at Ma Hengwen without speaking.

Lin Yi opened his eyes, revealing a ghostly light.

"I bear primary responsibility for this task. I am willing to accept all consequences. Currently, the enemy hasn’t fully withdrawn, and there’s the Kaijie Group still unengaged. Director Ma can formulate a comprehensive plan to intercept and annihilate the enemy."

Lin Yi’s words brought the atmosphere in the meeting room to a freezing point.

"I agree with Director Ma’s view. This plan was designed by Team Leader Lin, but it wasn’t completed, thus the Brigade suffered various degrees of loss, and even its reputation was affected. Team Leader Lin cannot escape blame for this matter."

Director Cao Youwei from the intelligence department said:

"I suggest handling Lin Yi with suspension, and that Director Liu forms a special action team to take over this task."

"I agree with Director Cao’s statement. Team Leader Lin is young and accomplished but inevitably experiences emotional swings, indulging in talents; such arduous tasks require an experienced commander to oversee."

The speaker was a woman with short hair, dressed in military attire, appearing valiant.

The woman’s name was Xu Li, head of the Central Guards Brigade’s logistics and support department.

She also has another identity, a childhood friend of Shen Shuyi.

"Director Ma has battlefield experience, having fought on the front lines for years. Combat experience naturally surpasses young people like Lin Yi. It may be better if he steps down and reflects on the errors in this task before fully engaging in future battles."

"You!"

Seeing the two blatantly targeting him, Ma Hengwen looked extremely displeased.

"Lin Yi!"

Liu Hong, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Whether in Corea or Jing City, you have always been on the front lines. After returning from Lou Mountain last time, you were already injured and didn’t rest, directly engaging in combat, significantly draining you."

Pop—

Liu Hong, in the main seat, lit a cigarette, "But granting rewards for achievements and penalizing for faults is the tradition of the Central Guards Brigade. As Director Ma suggested, temporarily suspend you."

"I have no objection."

Flicking the cigarette ash, Liu Hong looked at Ma Hengwen, saying:

"Director Ma, Lin Yi is suspended, and I’ll assign the other members of Group One to other groups. Now you can organize a special action team to replace Group One’s responsibilities, ensuring the safety of the Central Guards Brigade."

Ma Hengwen’s face changed drastically. If Cao Youwei and Xu Li were sharpening their knives, then Liu Hong was roasting him over the fire.

"Bring someone in."

Liu Hong shouted towards the door, and Xiao Bing and Luo Qi, who had been guarding outside, walked in.

"Director Liu."

"Help your team leader out."

"Yes!"

The two women hurriedly walked toward Lin Yi.

They had long not wanted Lin Yi to attend this ridiculous meeting and thought it was better to go back and rest quickly.

With Lin Yi gone, the meeting room quieted down and wasn’t as serious as before.

"Director Liu, I didn’t say I wanted to form a special action team."

Leaning on the chair, Liu Hong crossed his legs, holding a cigarette, looking at Ma Hengwen.

"So, Lin Yi has stepped down. What do you suggest we do?"

Liu Hong had watched Lin Yi grow up and also had some connection with Lin Jingzhan.

In his eyes, Lin Yi was like half a son; how could he let him be mistreated by Ma Hengwen?

"I..."

After a while, Ma Hengwen still didn’t say anything.

"There’s no rush to discuss this matter. In any case, the task is now yours." Liu Hong said:

"Go back and research and then we’ll hold another meeting to decide. Lin Jiang, that boy, indulges his talents with the credit he’s earned, and indeed his actions lack consideration. Therefore, the special action team matter must be brought forward on the agenda, and people from our departments will surely cooperate actively."

"According to the intelligence department’s findings, Anglo, Mammon, and Kaijie Group members have not left; the subsequent matters involve close coordination. We’ll provide extensive support in intelligence." Cao Youwei said with a smile.

"Our logistics and support department will do the same." Xu Li said.

The three conspired to push Ma Hengwen into the fire, the latter clenching his fists, red-faced, unsure of what to say.

"Are you three trying to besiege me!"

Ma Hengwen’s eyes scanned the three.

"What, is it wrong that Lin Yi has issues and cannot be criticized at all? What have you made of the Central Guards Brigade!"

"Naturally, it’s an armed institution to protect people’s safety. When problems arise, they must be solved." Liu Hong looked at Ma Hengwen,

"You pointed out the problem but aren’t solving it, so what’s the point of the problem you raised?"
