Chapter 2868: Chapter 2868: Clues About the Man in Black
"You can’t say that entirely, there might still be a sliver of chance," Lin Yi said:
"No matter what, the three of us are in an adversarial relationship. If we can use this layer of relationship well, it might be of some help."
"That’s exactly the problem," Ning Che said:
"Whether it’s Mammon or the Gongyuan Association, none of them are easy to deal with. Trying to use this relationship well among the three parties is not an easy task."
Ning Che casually lit a cigarette and said:
"I’m really conflicted right now!"
"Conflicted about what?"
"I don’t want the speculation to be true. Facing two major forces is too hard, but I also want to meet the person you’re talking about."
"Don’t rush this kind of thing. Even if you don’t meet today, you will meet someday."
After speaking, Lin Yi took out his phone and sent a message to the group.
"Everyone assemble at the base in four hours."
After sending the message, Lin Yi put his phone in his pocket.
"Do you have a modified car?"
"What do you need that for?"
"If our speculation is true, a regular car might not be able to catch up with that TYPE-R."
"I have a modified Impreza, it performs well enough. Paired with your skills, it should be enough."
"Alright, let’s go get the car now," Lin Yi said:
"The level of importance on this matter has been raised, so we should have results soon."
"Let’s go."
Subsequently, Lin Yi and Ning Che went to get the car, then parted ways.
With nothing else to do but wait for news, Lin Yi decided to go check on Liang Ruoxu and spend time with her and the child.
Having known in advance that Lin Yi was coming back, Liang Ruoxu was already waiting with the child at the neighborhood entrance when Lin Yi arrived.
"Is there any progress on this matter?"
Because Chen Shengli is the leader of Group 7, and matters from Group 5 to 8 are still handled by my grandfather.
Liang Ruoxu had to be concerned.
"There’s a bit of a clue, but whether we can capture anyone is still a question, it’ll depend on luck."
"Is the damage big?"
"It’s hard to say right now. Even if they did get the information, it won’t show up until much later," Lin Yi said:
"I’ve been in contact with Brother Chen a lot and know him well. He should not be leaking information."
"But a family of three is missing, and their personal safety is also a big issue."
"That’s the crux of the problem," Lin Yi said:
"I’m not so worried about the information, but their safety. If something happens to Brother Chen, the losses to the Central Guards Brigade will be immense."
"Moreover, it’s not just a loss of talent. It would have an extremely negative impact worldwide, and this is a matter of reputation."
"Indeed." Lin Yi said, "If this matter is not handled well, the ensuing chain reaction will be immeasurable."
Lin Yi pushed the child, strolling around the neighborhood, and for the three of them, this was a rare leisurely time.
Ring ring ring—
After walking for a while, Lin Yi received a call from Ning Che.
"The business car from the video has been found, abandoned in an alley."
This result was within Lin Yi’s expectations, so his expression remained calm and not excited.
"Was there a clue left on the car?"
"Still investigating, there should be fingerprints or something, but these pieces of evidence are not important to us. Finding them through these is very difficult."
Lin Yi and Ning Che both understood the nature of the other party, unlikely to leave clues and evidence like usual suspects in criminal cases due to lack of professionalism.
And for these people, even finding clues and evidence is of no use.
As long as they’re not caught, it doesn’t matter.
"So you’ve only found that car, and no other leads, right?"
"Not for the time being," Ning Che said:
"Based on previous experience, finding them now would probably be quite difficult."
"I see," Lin Yi said:
"Put all the focus on that TYPE-R, it’s the only lead."
"I know."
The two exchanged a few more words, then Lin Yi hung up the phone and continued spending time with Liang Ruoxu and the child.
Knowing that Lin Yi was back, Shen Shuyi uncharacteristically came back from work early and personally cooked a Western meal.
During the meal, they talked a lot about matters concerning the Li family, organizing everything thoroughly to deal with the uncertainty of future developments.
"Mom, I haven’t watched the news these days. After Aiden sent the message, has there been any response from the Beautiful Country?"
"Not yet," Shen Shuyi said:
"But I heard that Aiden is being coldly treated, and it’s hard to get any more information on him. The chip alliance issue should be able to drag on for a while."
"But time should be limited, a year would be considered a lot."
"That depends on the future development prospects of TVB and the Li family," Shen Shuyi said:
"If TVB’s development trend is brisk and further widens the gap with the Li family, then this agreement will still be brought to the table. If the gap narrows, this plan might end without a conclusion."
"If that’s the case, we’ll be in a dilemma."
"Exactly," Shen Shuyi said:
"TVB’s strength is undeniable. Just looking at the current situation, whether in terms of technology or funding, there will be greater support, and the gap will definitely widen further, so our choice is crucial."
Pausing, Shen Shuyi said:
"If you choose to help the Li family, you’re just rearing a tiger to court disaster. I’ve been in contact with Lee Yongjin, a very nice person, but the kind who can call you brother today and stab you in the back tomorrow."
Shen Shuyi’s words were undoubtedly a reminder for Lin Yi.
Not to get too close to Lee Yongjin.
Not out of fear of an affair, since Shen Shuyi was well aware of Lin Yi’s affairs. Plus, they are all from the same circle, she wouldn’t take these things to heart.
Just worried that she might backstab Lin Yi.
And Lin Yi agreed that Shen Shuyi’s assessment was very accurate.
No matter when, that woman Lee Yongjin was someone to be wary of.
"If there’s no other way, consider increasing the cooperation and investment, I’ll find a way to suppress her."
"If you have that ability, this plan can go on."
"It’s not a big problem... Ring ring ring—"
Before Lin Yi could finish, his phone rang in his pocket. It was a call from Ning Che.
"Found the car, three minutes ago it was spotted on Huikang Road."
"I’m going now!" Lin Yi said:
"Tell them not to follow, not to arrest, immediately set up roadblocks at all nearby intersections, report their whereabouts immediately, and avoid alarming the snake."
"I’ve already made arrangements, just waiting for you to act along."
"Alright."
