Chapter 3248: Chapter 3240: A World in Growing Chaos

After listening to Lin Yi’s analysis, Liu Hong also found it somewhat reasonable.

"I’ll have someone submit the flight path application, and you all prepare on your end."

Lin Yi nodded.

There wasn’t much he could do; he still had to wait for news from the other side.

Squeak——

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

Liu Hong’s assistant rushed in from outside.

"Leader, we’ve contacted Team Leader Qiu. They were attacked, but the chieftain was taken away."

"What about the second team? Is anyone else injured?" Lin Yi asked hastily.

"They’re all lightly injured and about to leave the rainforest, but the chieftain is nowhere to be found."

Upon hearing the assistant’s report, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The mission was secondary; as long as the second team was safe, it was a blessing.

"Have them check the scene and then come back. The culprit couldn’t have stayed around, and we won’t catch anyone." Lin Yi turned his head and looked at Liu Hong.

"What’s your thought?"

"Now, we need to investigate their route of action," Lin Yi said:

"If we can’t catch them at the starting point, we’ll have to go to the endpoint."

Liu Hong instantly understood Lin Yi’s meaning.

"Then we’ll do as you said. I’ll have the second team rest and then cooperate with the authorities to track their whereabouts."

Lin Yi nodded. This was all they could do now.

Ring ring ring——

At this time, Liu Hong’s phone rang.

"It’s Little Qiu calling."

While speaking, Liu Hong answered the call.

"What’s the situation now?"

"No major problems, except the person is gone," Qiu Yuluo said.

"Did the culprit leave any clues? Can we determine who it was?"

"This is hard to say. They are very strong; only a few major organizations could pull this off."

"Alright, rest up first, then cooperate with the authorities to investigate their escape route, and do it quickly."

"Got it, I understand."

After a brief word of advice, Liu Hong hung up the phone without putting too much pressure on Qiu Yuluo.

"There are very few clues; it’s not easy to analyze anything clearly."

"Actually, you can infer some things," Lin Yi said:

"First, as Yuluo mentioned, those who could defeat them must be a large organization, which narrows it down significantly."

"Secondly, this attack was certainly premeditated, aimed not just at the mission, but specifically at their second team."

Lin Yi got up and paced back and forth in the office.

"Before this, they had already ventured deep into the tropical rainforest. Although it’s not as perilous as Tilia Island, there are plenty of venomous creatures. If they had passed out, they would have been picked clean within half an hour. The attack site was on the rainforest’s outskirts, which is much safer."

"Moreover, the second team members were only knocked out, without actual harm. All signs indicate that the attackers did not wish to antagonize the Central Guards Brigade; they were wary of its power; otherwise, their fate would be like that of the Blood Bull Club."

"Viewed this way, it’s actually a good thing," Liu Hong said:

"If it’s truly those people we analyzed, they wouldn’t disregard the Central Guards Brigade."

"Yes, this narrows it down a lot."

While speaking, Lin Yi picked up a marker from Liu Hong’s desk and began writing on a whiteboard.

"Gongyuan Association..."

"Mammon..."

"Anglo..."

"Arctic Fox..."

"Cossacks..."

"God..."

Lin Yi suddenly paused when he wrote down God’s Army.

"Do you think it’s them?"

"They are suspicious."

Lin Yi used the marker to cross out Mammon and Anglo.

"These two organizations would disregard us; if it were them, the second team would be dealing with deaths by now."

"Why do you suspect God’s Army?"

"First, the ability to carry out such a plan requires extremely strong intelligence capabilities. Among these organizations, God’s Army has a major advantage in this area, being the most outstanding," Lin Yi said:

"Secondly, when the first team was attacked, another participant was God’s Army. They only provided partial intel, without directly participating. However, after the mission failed, Afluo did not leave immediately, and that period coincided perfectly with the civilian delegation."

"When the Blood Bull Club targeted Chen Zhiyi, I suspect they misjudged the situation, fearing God’s Army would beat them to the punch. Now it seems we’ve all guessed wrong; their target wasn’t Chen Zhiyi but the civilian delegation!"

After listening to Lin Yi’s analysis, Liu Hong also saw a possibility.

"Given God’s Army’s strength, they wouldn’t dare to confront us directly. And this matter has been handled so appropriately that without strong intelligence capabilities, they couldn’t have accomplished this."

"Now we must see where they will go," Lin Yi said:

"Europe is likely their first choice."

Upon saying this, Lin Yi stood up, "I’ll take the first team and stake it out for a while. If something happens, we can mobilize immediately; otherwise, we might miss the best opportunity. As for other places, we’ll have to send others to keep watch."

"Where exactly?"

"The Country of Clocks," Lin Yi said:

"God’s Army is the most suspicious, and that’s where their European branch is located, increasing the chances of encountering them."

"We can’t be reckless this time, not with injuries. Be cautious."

"Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control."

Leaving those words, Lin Yi walked out of Liu Hong’s office and returned to his own office.

When he opened the door, the first team was all there waiting.

Upon seeing Lin Yi, they all stood up.

"Move out. We’re heading to Europe."

The group exited the administration building, got into their cars, and headed for the airport.

On the way, Lin Yi explained the mission details to the first team.

Only then did the first team realize that something had happened to the second team.

This time, they were going to catch the perpetrators.

"These people are becoming bolder, provoking us repeatedly," Zhao Yunhu said.

"It’s not that they’re bold; the world is just getting crazier."

"By the way, boss, I forgot to tell you something," Zhang Chaoyue said:

"You asked me to look into the Kaijie Group, right? After you left, I traced their whereabouts but lost track in the end."

"Hmm?"

Lin Yi paused, "Lost track of them?"

Lin Yi was well aware of Zhang Chaoyue’s tracking skills, second only to Yu Siying.

And now, he had lost sight of them.

Zhang Chaoyue scratched his head, "I admit I didn’t take them seriously at first, but whoever was driving managed to shake me off, so they’re definitely not simple. The Kaijie Group is a bit complex."
