Chapter 2366 2367 Elegance at Heart
Chapter 2366: Chapter 2367: Elegance at Heart Chapter 2366: Chapter 2367: Elegance at Heart “No matter who caught him, capturing someone at the level of a deputy supervisor is impressive.”
Ning Che said with a laugh, but when he looked at Lin Yi, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Lin Yi also grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started eating on his own.
“Has there been any new arrangement in the brigade recently?”
“Not for now,” Ning Che said:
“But Elder Lu has called the Yanlong Team back, saying they need to regroup.”
“Yanlong Team…”
Lin Yi muttered to himself. Although he had never seen them, he had heard about them; they were a secret force above the four groups.
All twelve members are at B level.
They are the trump card of the Central Guards Brigade.
Since joining the Central Guards Brigade, they have been performing missions abroad, and unexpectedly, they now had to return.
“Elder Lu is probably worried about their safety on the island, right?”
Qiu Yuluo nodded, “We have become a thorn in the side of the whole world. Keeping them abroad is definitely dangerous, so Elder Lu let them come back. They will arrive in Yanjing in a few days.”
“That makes sense.”
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Ning Che said:
“What was so urgent that you called me here?”
“I have some matters to handle, and I need your help with a disguise.”
“Hmm?”
The two women exchanged glances, stopped what they were doing, and focused their attention on Lin Yi.
“Got a secret mission? How come we didn’t know?”
“Don’t be so suspicious,” Lin Yi said:
“This is a private matter, nothing to do with the brigade.”
The matter related to Han Xiangyu was known only to himself, Liang Xianghe, and Lu Beichen. Lin Yi didn’t plan to tell anyone else to avoid affecting Liang Xianghe’s reputation.
“If you need our help, just let us know.”
Lin Yi smiled, “That’s why I came to you for help.”
“Just a small thing.”
Ning Che’s makeup skills were something Lin Yi really admired.
Half an hour later, although not entirely unrecognizable, it was hard to tell that the person in front of them was Lin Yi.
“OK, absolutely perfect.”
After a simple disguise, Lin Yi said:
“I’ll be going first, will come back to dine with you in a few days.”
“I’ll see you out.”
“No need, I can just take a taxi. It’s cold outside and the road’s slippery, you two stay warm here.”
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che didn’t insist and saw Lin Yi to the door.
“Take this with you.”
Ning Che handed over her Beretta 92F, which she always carried, to Lin Yi.
“In case you encounter anything tricky, your dagger won’t be as useful as this.”
“tch tch, always so caring.”
“That’s incomparable, after all, the relationship is different,” Ning Che said ambiguously, glancing at Qiu Yuluo, “If you spend a night with her, Yuluo would be okay with it too.”
“Get lost, you two stop making fun of me, I’m not superficial.”
“We’re just saying, tell us what you fancy, Lin Yi can satisfy your fantasy.”
“I don’t fancy anything, you two keep being sweet, I’m heading back.”
After Qiu Yuluo left, Ning Che fixed Lin Yi up a bit.
“Be careful out there.”
Lin Yi kissed Ning Che on the forehead, “Go back, I’ll be fine.”
“Sure.”
After leaving the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi went to the airport.
During this time, Liang Xianghe sent over the files regarding Han Xiangyu.
After a quick scan, he didn’t find anything useful. It would probably take a lot of effort to locate him in a short time.
Lin Yi leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, resting, but his brain was spinning rapidly, reviewing everything in his mind.
This matter, one could say, was within expectations and was handled with extreme calm.
The whole world was watching that ancient manuscript, but broadly speaking, there were two groups of people vying for it.
One group was led by America comprising official organizations, while the other was led by the Freemasons, consisting of overseas organizations.
Given Liang Xianghe’s recent actions, overseas organizations should not dare to make any moves now, but the official organizations will not give up.
Their approach would not be as secretive as the Freemasons; they would undoubtedly exert pressure on China in a public setting to hand over the documents.
However, what Korea did in this regard is completely understandable.
Both they and Japan are well aware that if America gets hold of these things, they would be left out in the cold, even missing out on the scraps. Therefore, they need to obtain these items by their own means.
But they lack the capacity to pressure China and disdain covert methods; they simply opt for a method of bribery and alignment to seize an opportunity for themselves.
And the bargaining chip they offer is probably irresistible, otherwise the Freemasons would have just proceeded as such.
Lin Yi fiddled with his phone for a while, murmuring to himself:
“It looks like I need to get Lee Yongjin involved in this matter.”
The plane flew smoothly and landed at Soul Airport in less than two hours.
By then, it was already after eight in the evening.
Lin Yi did not go anywhere else but took a taxi to Lee Yongjin’s home.
In a villa in the Jiangnan Rich District, the lights were bright, illuminating everything around.
The sound of water in the villa’s bathroom stopped abruptly and soon after, Lee Yongjin, wrapped in a towel, came out.
Although she was in her mid-thirties, she maintained her figure extremely well, not an ounce of excess fat on her body.
If anyone deserved the title ‘Eldest Princess’, it was unquestionably Lee Yongjin.
Just as Lin Yi said, this woman was exceptional in all aspects except for being slightly petite.
After bathing, Lee Yongjin applied some skincare products and then went alone to the liquor cabinet, poured herself a glass of whiskey, and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
Snap.
Gently, Lee Yongjin lit a cigarette and started smoking quietly.
Lee Yongjin’s elegance seemed to be embedded in her bones.
Lying back on the sofa, her slender legs and graceful body traced a perfect curve.
Lee Yongjin rested with her eyes closed, massaging her temples, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, without opening her eyes.
“Director Li has quite the taste, care to join me for a drink?”
Hearing the voice at the door, Lee Yongjin suddenly stood up, tightened the towel around her, and threw the cigarette butt into the whiskey glass, her eyes filled with caution.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s me.”
Lin Yi shed his disguise, and seeing that it was Lin Yi, Lee Yongjin relaxed a bit, but her eyes still held caution.
“How come you’re here all of a sudden?”
Lin Yi helped himself to the bar and poured a glass of whiskey as well.
“I need your help with something.”
“I might not be much help with an issue that’s got you stumped.”
Lin Yi shrugged and said,
“But in Korea, you’re the only one I know. If I don’t ask you, I have no one else to turn to.”
“What do you need my help with?”
Lin Yi paused, “Has Samsung been given any official tasks recently?”
At this, Lee Yongjin’s face changed drastically, scrutinizing Lin Yi.
“Why would you ask that?”
Lin Yi sipped his drink gently, “Just guessing, you just need to answer, but don’t lie.”
“Yes.”
“What’s the task?”
“Establish a joint laboratory.”
“A joint laboratory? Clarify please.”
“The authorities want to leverage Samsung Bio’s scientific capabilities to establish a new laboratory.”
“Samsung Bio…”
Lin Yi muttered to himself, seemingly making a connection.
“Did you agree?”
“There’s no reason not to agree, but I’m not in charge of this. I might not be able to tell you much more.”
