Chapter 3770: Chapter 3761: Closing the Net
"Another half-day off?"
Ning Che’s face showed a look of confusion.
"From the observations over the past two days, his physical condition is fine. Normally, taking a half-day off would be pointless," Lin Yi said.
"A so-called half-day off is only a few hours. At this critical moment, it’s certainly abnormal for him to insist on taking a half-day off."
Ning Che stood up, combed his hair, and started getting dressed.
"We need to quickly check on Ren Shoucai. Something about his situation is definitely not right."
"Yeah."
Lin Yi nodded. The two got dressed and left without even washing their faces.
They reached the building opposite Ren Shoucai’s home and found Yu Siying.
As soon as they arrived, Ning Che went straight to the telescope, seeing Ren Shoucai lying in bed, covered with a blanket, not moving at all.
Lin Yi had excellent eyesight. Even without the telescope, he could roughly see across and notice Ren Shoucai’s current state.
"He’s been like this since this morning. Although we know he’s faking, we lack evidence to prove it," Yu Siying said.
"Maybe some unexpected twists will occur. He might even take more leave."
"That’s possible," Yu Siying said.
"What time did Fu Lili leave?" Lin Yi asked.
"Around eight in the morning, which is the normal time to leave for work."
Lin Yi nodded, "You guys stay here and keep watch; I’ll head over to see Fu Lili."
With that said, Lin Yi left.
Compared to Ren Shoucai, Lin Yi felt Fu Lili was more suspicious.
He drove to Fu Lili’s company and parked in the same spot as yesterday.
The company was bustling, with people coming and going, and the business was doing better than Lin Yi had imagined.
Taking out Fu Lili’s information and the surveillance footage from yesterday, Lin Yi scrutinized them for half an hour, his expression unusually serious.
Lin Yi took out a walkie-talkie and contacted Ma Tongliang from the second team.
"What’s the situation at Dragon Eagle?"
"It’s a mess here, with no sense of crisis whatsoever," Ma Tongliang said:
"I feel that the dozen people at Dragon Eagle Research Institute all might have issues."
"Stay calm, don’t panic. Be more attentive; they’ll surely slip up."
"Understood, Team Leader Lin."
Ending the communication, Lin Yi drove away and reached Bishui Garden.
This was also a high-end community with exclusive areas sold to specific people. Ma Feilong from the sixth group lived here.
The person in charge of keeping watch was Sui Qiang.
"Any developments on Ma Feilong’s end?" Lin Yi asked via the communication device.
"Not for now," Sui Qiang said:
"He just got home half an hour ago after leaving the brigade."
"Alright."
Ending the communication, Lin Yi drove to the entrance of the underground parking lot in the community.
As it was under the control of the Central Guard Brigade, Lin Yi used a standard scanner, and the access door opened automatically, allowing him to easily enter the underground parking and park near Ma Feilong’s car.
About half an hour passed when Lin Yi saw Ma Feilong carrying trash, exit the elevator, casually throw it into the trash can, look around out of habit, and then get into his car and drive off.
Lin Yi didn’t hurriedly follow but instead called Yu Siying.
"What is Ren Shoucai doing? Did he ask for more leave?"
"No, he’s getting dressed, seemingly preparing to return to the brigade."
"Keep monitoring him; report any anomalies immediately."
"Understood!"
Ending the call, Lin Yi also drove off, discreetly following Ma Feilong.
The car drove slowly for over forty minutes until it reached a cake shop.
Ma Feilong parked his car, entered the cake shop, and collected a cake.
Just as he emerged, he bumped right into Lin Yi.
"Oh, Team Leader Lin, what a coincidence, you’re here to buy a cake too," Ma Feilong said with a smile.
"Don’t call me Team Leader Lin. I’ve been suspended," Lin Yi said self-deprecatingly:
"I heard the old man at home is celebrating a big birthday today and wanted to get a cake to congratulate him. Didn’t expect to meet you here."
Ma Feilong’s expression changed suddenly, unable to control his accelerated heartbeat.
He and Lin Yi were merely acquaintances who nodded when they met. For Lin Yi to personally come buy a cake to celebrate his father’s birthday was unlikely.
"Suspension or not, to us, you’ll always be the leader of the first team," Ma Feilong said, holding the cake with a smile:
"Our family is just a small household, just having a simple birthday celebration at home. There’s no need for you to go out of your way, Team Leader Lin."
"That’s not right; the rites shouldn’t be broken. Since I’m here, I can’t just ignore it."
"Really, there’s no need. Such a small matter, how could we trouble Lin..."
Before Ma Feilong could finish, he saw a car stop in front of him.
The car stopped, Ning Che got out.
Ma Feilong froze in place, his face pale, cold sweat streaming down.
With both team leaders from the Central Guard Brigade here, anything he said was pointless now.
"Team Leader Lin, you..."
"You know what you’ve done. I have other matters to attend to. Let Team Leader Ning take you."
Without further ado, Lin Yi got into the car, and forty minutes later, he arrived at the entrance of Delong Trading Company. This time, he didn’t wait at the door; he got out of the car and went straight in.
The company’s first floor was spacious. Upon seeing Lin Yi, the female receptionist stood up and inquired:
"Sir, what brings you here?"
"I’m a colleague of her husband, looking for President Fu."
Addressing casually, Lin Yi went up to the third floor. The female receptionist followed, hurrying to say:
"President Fu is very busy. Without an appointment, you can’t go up."
Standing on the stairs, Lin Yi turned and looked at the receptionist, an icy glint in his eyes:
"This is none of your business!"
The receptionist, frightened by Lin Yi’s cold gaze, stood frozen in place.
Lin Yi quickened his pace, rushed up to the third floor, and arrived at Fu Lili’s office door.
Without knocking, he pushed the door open.
The office was about thirty square meters, not large, and there was a middle-aged man, seemingly discussing business with Fu Lili.
Seeing Lin Yi come in, Fu Lili’s expression was peculiar, as if she knew he would come.
This was not surprising, as the receptionist would have certainly contacted her first.
"President Liu, I’m sorry, I have some personal matters to attend to. Let’s talk about the contract tomorrow."
"No problem at all, settle your matters first. We can schedule another time,"
"I’m really sorry."
"It’s no problem."
After shaking hands with the man, Fu Lili escorted the middle-aged man out and then turned to Lin Yi.
"You’re my husband’s colleague?"
