Chapter 99

Lin Yi nodded, "The key information was in your hands, so they targeted you."

"These damn bastards," Chen Zhiyi muttered.

"Calm down, we'll handle this."

Lin Yi glanced at Xiao Bing, "Our people will take a while to arrive, take Team Leader Chen to rest first."

"Got it, Lin Ge."

Chen Zhiyi also knew that there was nothing left for him to do here.

With Lin Yi here, even if he stayed, he wouldn't be of much help. It would be more practical to go back and rest.

After all, his body still hurt a bit.

Xiao Bing and Chen Zhiyi left.

Lin Yi turned around and walked towards Joyce.

"Was all of this your plan? It was indeed well done, making us search for so long."

"Huh..."

Joyce sneered and shakily took out a cigarette.

"Can you tell me how you figured it out, so I can die with a clear conscience?"

Joyce's request was not met with reluctance from Lin Yi, who recounted the entire process from start to finish.

After listening, Joyce smiled bitterly.

"So the people left in Zhonghai were just a decoy. You truly deserve the title of a meritorious team leader. Mardi is far inferior to you."

"Dealing with people like you naturally requires some means," Lin Yi said calmly.

"Letting me prepare for so long can be considered giving your Blood Bull Club some face."

Joyce was thoroughly convinced.

This time, after engaging with him, he realized he had been too naive.

The title of meritorious team leader was not given lightly.

"Give me a chance to live, and I will tell you everything I know."

Mardi's betrayal had left Joyce disheartened.

At this moment, he only wanted to save his life; everything else was unimportant.

"Under normal circumstances, I would agree, but because of you, my brother almost lost a hand. So you must die," Lin Yi said coldly.

"But I can give you a dignified death, making it less painful, and leave some money for your family in exchange for the information you have."

"What if I don't say anything?"

"That's a childish question, not something you would ask."

Lin Yi said calmly, "The choice is yours. For me, it doesn't matter much. Finding Mardi and your branch is just a matter of time."

"The branch is at the Tons Bar in Magadan."

Joyce said, lowering his head, "The attack on Team One and the theft of the research institute's data were both carried out by the branch."

"Continue."

"Be careful of Aphrodite," Joyce said, "Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't have acted so quickly, just to guard against her."

"Aphrodite? What does this have to do with her?"

"In the mission to attack Team One, they provided the intelligence, which allowed us to formulate the subsequent plan," Joyce said, "But after the mission failed, they never left. I suspect they were interested in that device, and we acted before them."

"Sure enough, it's related to them."

"So you already guessed it," Joyce smiled bitterly.

"Just a guess, no evidence," Lin Yi said, "I need to know the details of Tons Bar and the personnel distribution."

"Tons is in the Far East region, with three floors above ground and one below. One floor is for guests, and the rest is where the branch conducts its organization and decision-making," Joyce said calmly, "As for the personnel distribution, I can't say. You might find no one there, or you might find many. It all depends on your luck."

"Alright."

"I've told you everything I know, now do it."

Lin Yi threw his gun to Joyce, "Do it yourself."

Joyce took Lin Yi's gun and slowly pointed the barrel at his temple.

Just before pulling the trigger, he gave Lin Yi a calm smile.

As if everything was now at peace.

Bang!

Blood splattered everywhere.

Joyce's body fell into a pool of blood.

Lin Yi picked up his gun and signaled Zhang Chao Yue to control the others.

Giving Joyce a quick death was in exchange for the information he had.

This method was enough for him.

As for the others, they had no value to him.

But to the Central Guard Regiment, they were still useful, so they couldn't be eliminated and needed to be taken back for processing.

Walking out of the cabin, the sea waves surged.

Lin Yi closed his eyes, rubbing his temples, thinking about the next plan.

Unconsciously, more than half an hour passed, and the Central Guard Regiment's helicopter and ship arrived.

"How's the situation? Did you catch Mardi?" Tao Cheng asked.

Lin Yi shook his head, "He got away. Only these people are left."

Looking at the subordinates who were beaten to near death, Tao Cheng nodded.

"Capturing them is better than not capturing them. Review them, maybe we can get some information."

Lin Yi nodded but didn't mention Joyce.

For the Central Guard Regiment, rescuing Chen Zhiyi was enough to consider the mission a success.

"By the way, how is Team Leader Chen?" Tao Cheng asked, "Old Chen has already gone to see Old Lu, afraid she might be in danger."

"These people are really something. If they were really worried, they shouldn't have sent her here. Do they think the Central Guard Regiment is some kind of safe place?" Lin Yi complained.

Tao Cheng looked around, seeing no one, and said in a low voice, "I think your family might come to you after you return. Write your report well, and explain everything clearly."

"Huh? Why would they come to me?"

"Under normal circumstances, we could have rescued Team Leader Chen in the city, but it was delayed until now. This is what the Chen family is dissatisfied with."

"I already said it was to catch Mardi."

"But the Chen family might not think that much," Tao Cheng said, "They care more about why Team Leader Chen was put at risk."

"Every day, so many trivial matters," Lin Yi said, "I don't have time to deal with them. If they're dissatisfied, let them rescue her next time."

"Alright, calm down. We're all on the same side, it's not that serious."

Tao Cheng patted Lin Yi's shoulder and comforted him, "You go rest, we'll clean up the battlefield."

Lin Yi nodded and stood to the side.

At the same time, Xiao Bing and Zhang Chao Yue also came to Lin Yi's side.

"Boss, the positioning system shows no sign of that speedboat," Zhang Chao Yue said.

"That means Mardi wasn't killed by the waves and escaped in the speedboat."

Both nodded, agreeing with this view.

"Notify the other members of Team One to gather at the airport in Beijing and head to the Far East."

"Yes!"
