Chapter 3993: Chapter 3981: The Beginning of the Conflict
Seeing Song Zhongtian not replying, Lin Yi added fuel to the fire and said:
"Let me put it this way, the person leading the Anglo team this time is stronger than me. They could easily send someone over to wipe you out. Cui Xiaodong’s idea is undoubtedly too naive. In other words, sending you out is no different from sending you to your death."
"I know." Song Zhongtian said in a low voice.
Lin Yi looked at Song Zhongtian with great interest, "So now, are you still planning to serve the Jinshan Group faithfully?"
Song Zhongtian was silent for a while, not knowing how to respond.
"We have no choice; this team was formed by the Jinshan Group. We have to follow orders."
Lin Yi nodded, "What you said is not wrong; we each have our duties and serve our respective masters. Everyone has their way of living."
While talking, Lin Yi handed Song Zhongtian a cigarette, then lit one for himself.
"Besides Cui Shengguo, have any other members of the Cui family encountered this situation, or have you noticed any potential danger?"
"What do you mean?"
"Is your intelligence system really that lousy?"
Lin Yi looked at Song Zhongtian speechless, "Let me put it this way, currently in your Corea, it’s not just Anglo; there are several organizations as famous as them, not to mention countless small organizations, any one of which is stronger than your Angry Sea."
Song Zhongtian’s hand shook, causing ash to fall onto his pants.
His face turned ugly because of this news.
Lin Yi smiled, "Sweating bullets now, my friend?"
"Don’t be nervous, I came today to show you a bright path."
With that, Lin Yi handed three fake Sheepskin Scrolls to Song Zhongtian, "Here, this thing might save your life at a critical moment."
Song Zhongtian glanced at Lin Yi without speaking, instead choosing to open the items he handed over.
Seeing the contents, Song Zhongtian’s eyes widened.
"You couldn’t be so kind as to bring this back! Tell me, what’s your purpose!"
"No purpose, just genuinely want to help you. After all, without you, I can’t complete my mission. I owed you a favor from before, and now I plan to repay it."
Lin Yi said with a chuckle:
"When you guys make the trade, give this thing to the Anglo people to try and exchange for Cui Shengguo’s life. This way, you can report to Cui Xiaodong and ensure your own safety."
"But I still don’t believe you’d be so kind, what do you really want me to do."
"My friend, don’t be so tense, I genuinely just want to lend you a hand." Lin Yi said:
"And I have some news I can share with you in advance. The Jinshan Group is at the end of its rope and will soon collapse. Not only you, but even the Wuzhe Mountain Laboratory might not be saved, so while you’re serving them, be mindful not to throw your life away unnecessarily, it’s not worth it."
Song Zhongtian looked at Lin Yi with surprise.
"What do you mean? Are you going to take action against the Jinshan Group?"
"That’s another layer of things you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it. If you’re willing to believe me, I can offer you a backup plan, with stronger support than the Jinshan Group. You think about what to do."
"A stronger backing than the Jinshan Group?"
"That’s right, I have no reason to lie to you about this."
Several possibilities flashed through Song Zhongtian’s mind.
In the whole of Corea, perhaps only the Sansing Li Family is stronger than the Jinshan Group.
"Are you talking about the Li...?"
"Stop, stop, stop, don’t speculate wildly, I never said it was them."
Lin Yi smiled, patting Song Zhongtian’s shoulder,
"That’s all I have to say to you, I’ve said everything I needed to. You can go back now, contact me if you’ve figured it out, I’m always waiting for your call." Lin Yi said with a smile:
"But one more thing, even if you save Cui Shengguo this time, other organizations will still come looking, bringing endless trouble. This time you might come back alive, next time might be different."
"I know."
"That’s all for now, I’m leaving, oh right, I also need your trade address."
"Okay."
Song Zhongtian returned to the car, and Lin Yi didn’t linger in the place, driving away.
Sitting in the car watching Lin Yi’s departing silhouette, he realized this person was even more terrifying than he imagined.
It’s beyond mere demonstration of power; his influence in other fields might far exceed his imagination.
But quickly, he became worried for his own safety.
If he could return alive, his greatest support would be the Sheepskin Scrolls in his hands.
But as Lin Yi said, if another person is captured next time, he won’t have these things to save his life.
What should he do then?
...
After leaving, Lin Yi and the other two returned to the hotel to meet up with the rest.
By now, it was almost completely dark.
Seeing them return, Qiu Yuluo stepped forward, "How did it go?"
"All went well. They’ll trade at 3 AM, at Shangling Road No. 234."
Qiu Yuluo turned to the second team and said, "Check out this place."
"That’s the fishing boat dock, likely they’re planning to withdraw after getting the goods." said someone from the second team.
"The Anglo people have left, but other organizations haven’t. This dispute continues." Qiu Yuluo said:
"I think this matter should still use the Jinshan Group as a starting point and quickly distribute our fake Sheepskin Scrolls. This way, nobody will know what’s real or fake, forcing them to focus on the real versions."
"That’s pretty much it." Lin Yi said:
"I guess by now, other organizations must have learned about Cui Shengguo’s kidnapping, and are ready to sharpen their knives. Someone might end up in trouble at any time."
Others seriously considered Lin Yi’s words, after all, those foreign idiots couldn’t come up with any bright ideas.
Ring ring ring—
Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang, it was a call from Song Zhongtian.
Lin Yi casually answered and put it on speaker.
"Have you decided?"
"It’s about another matter." Song Zhongtian said:
"An official here has gone missing, the news just broke, could be related to other organizations."
"Why do you say that?"
"The kidnapped person is named Zhao Yonghe, a Deputy Director at our Police Department, mainly responsible for the security of the Sheepskin Scrolls. I met him once when Cui Xiaodong and he met."
