Chapter 3983: Chapter 3971: Play Along with My Act
Che Zaihe in the back row exchanged a glance with Li Yueying.
Up until now, they were all bewildered.
But they also understood that they might have been kidnapped.
And the ones who kidnapped them were their own people responsible for security work.
Without further ado, Song Zhongtian got out of the car first, walked to the rear door, and took the two to Lin Yi’s car.
Song Zhongtian sat in the passenger seat, while Che Zaihe and Li Yuezhu sat in the back.
Lin Yi still held a gun against Song Zhongtian’s head to ensure his own safety.
In matters like this, one can never be too careful.
"You two can rest easy, as long as you cooperate with me properly, I won’t kill anyone."
Lin Yi’s coldness and aura scared Che Zaihe and Li Yueying, making their bodies lean against each other.
They looked again at Song Zhongtian, feeling complex emotions in their hearts.
After days of interaction, they also understood what kind of person Song Zhongtian was.
But now, even with a gun to his head, he could remain so calm, which was enough to show that he might have already been bought.
"Don’t be afraid, I just said, if you don’t cooperate, then I will kill, but as long as you cooperate with me, I won’t harm you."
After saying this, Lin Yi dialed Xiao Bing’s video call.
Although he didn’t speak, Xiao Bing also knew what Lin Yi wanted to do and pointed the camera at Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui.
"Your boss has already been captured and confessed about the Wuzhe Mountain Laboratory. In fact, your head of security is him, too."
Lin Yi gestured with the gun toward Song Zhongtian’s head.
"He’s now my man too, so I hope you two can cooperate with me, tell me what you know, and when you return, you can continue your research, and no one will know we made contact."
At this moment, on the other side of the video, Song Yaguo anxiously said:
"You must cooperate with these people. They are ruthless, and if you don’t cooperate, they really will kill. Ensure your own safety."
Song Yaguo’s cries shook the two’s minds.
They were essentially researchers, unlike the Fifth to Eighth Teams of the Central Guards Brigade, which had their own establishments.
They were more like hired workers, and in such a chaebol-monopolized capitalist country, talking about faith with them was indeed a bit ridiculous.
Lin Yi didn’t want to waste time, and as Song Yaguo finished speaking, he hung up the video.
"You understand the situation now, I hope you cooperate and hand over the photo-copy of the Sheepskin Scroll. It’s better for everyone this way."
The two exchanged a glance and saw in each other’s eyes fear and compromise.
Their boss, as well as the head of security, had been controlled by him, and they seemed to have no room for resistance in front of such a person.
"Even if we are in charge of the research institute now, we can’t just take out the photo-copy of the Sheepskin Scroll directly."
"Is it managed jointly by the three of you?"
"Yes. We are now working on decoding the first part of the Sheepskin Scroll, so the two copies in our possession are mostly in a sealed state," Che Zaihe said.
"According to the rules, if we want to take out the photo-copy of the first part of the Sheepskin Scroll for research, we need to hold a meeting and then retrieve the keys to the safe to open it."
After hearing Che Zaihe’s words, Lin Yi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
This method of safekeeping indicates that Cui Shengguo indeed has some competence.
But for him, it might be good news.
"If that’s the case, then the photo-copy of the first part of the Sheepskin Scroll is still in your hands, right?"
"Yes, but Park Hyun-dong found us yesterday, wanting to open the safe to start a new round of research. Under normal circumstances, today we would open the safe and start decoding the Sheepskin Scroll."
Lin Yi’s heart was filled with joy; this presented an opportunity to obtain the three copies of the Sheepskin Scroll.
"According to your management model, not just the first part, but the two parts you two are responsible for also need to be taken out in this way, right?"
Lin Yi pondered for a few seconds, looking at Song Zhongtian and then Che Zaihe.
"Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"
"What do you mean?"
"I, as a person, am not that ruthless. If you help me get the photo-copy of the Sheepskin Scroll, you might get implicated. Changing jobs would allow you to live your life safely,"
The three exchanged glances, seemingly finding this proposal quite appealing.
"Of course, I won’t let you work in vain. If you agree with my suggestion, I will personally give you a sum of money, enough for you to live out the rest of your lives."
"Impossible," Song Zhongtian whispered.
"With the power of the Cui family, wherever we run, they could find us and then assassinate us."
"If that’s the case, let me find a safer way to get you out,"
"I don’t believe you’re so kind," Song Zhongtian coldly said.
Lin Yi laughed, tapping Song Zhongtian’s head with the gun.
"If I weren’t so kind-hearted, why would I bother talking to you?"
"I hope you will cooperate with me. My goal is the Sheepskin Scroll, not murder. I assure you that you’ll be fine,"
As he spoke, Lin Yi calmly took out his phone, showing the recording interface.
"The conversation between us has already been recorded. If I leak this recording to Cui Shengguo, you’ll lose his trust, at best getting fired, at worst being secretly eliminated. All in all, as long as I want, I have countless ways to destroy you."
Song Zhongtian’s pupils contracted; he never anticipated Lin Yi’s move.
All three were silent, seemingly contemplating Lin Yi’s words.
It’s no longer a question of whether to cooperate with him, as he could leave them with no way out if he so desired.
Lin Yi was in no hurry for them to respond; it was the key period of psychological warfare, and he had to give them some time to think.
The higher their degree of cooperation, the greater the likelihood of achieving the goal.
"What do you want us to do?" Song Zhongtian asked in a low voice.
"Don’t rush, listen to me slowly," Lin Yi said:
"I need to enter your laboratory. When you take out the first part of the Sheepskin Scroll, cooperate with me to take it away."
"There is also Park Hyun-dong inside, how will you deal with him?"
"Just kill him," Lin Yi said in a low voice:
"But rest assured, I will handle this myself; no need for you to help."
"How do you plan to infiltrate the laboratory, and what do we need to do?" Song Zhongtian asked.
"The day you and an underling came for me, that person should be your confidant, right?"
"That’s right."
"Bring him out to cooperate with me,"
After saying this, Lin Yi looked at Song Zhongtian and said lightly:
"Of course, you also have to play out this drama with me, which would be safer."
