Chapter 3974: Chapter 3962: Visiting Lee Yongjin

"But isn’t there a possibility," Xiao Bing looked at Lin Yi and said:

"that the lower half of the Sheepskin Scroll has already been taken away by their official side?"

"Of course there is, it might even have already been taken," Lin Yi said while eating:

"But no matter how much the official side intervenes, it’ll still be in the form of cooperation between the two. After all, in this country, the chaebols have absolute say."

"If the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, it feels like this is going to be even harder to handle."

"That’s why I said this is more complicated than we imagined. Otherwise the other organizations wouldn’t be this quiet. As long as there was the slightest breakthrough, things over here would already be a complete mess, and it wouldn’t be possible that they only grabbed Zhao Renming."

"They really did a hell of a job with secrecy before; only now is the news starting to leak out."

"Right now the situation over here is a tangled mess. No matter what you do, it’s hard to find a thread to pull, so might as well stop looking. Just let their ’real daddy’ take over, and we find a way to snatch it from them."

Lin Yi said:

"But our investigation still has to continue. We prepare on two fronts. Who knows when an opportunity will pop up; then we won’t have to go head‑to‑head with their ’daddy.’"

"Got it."

After they finished talking about these things, dawn was almost breaking. The two went back to the hotel to sleep for a bit, rest up, and get ready to keep working.

...

Ritz-Carlton Hotel, presidential suite.

A man with his upper body bare opened his eyes and glanced at the clock, realizing it was already past ten.

On either side of him lay two women, one on the left and one on the right, still fast asleep.

The man’s name was Cui Shengguo, chairman of the Jinshan Group, second son of Cui Xiaodong, and also the person in charge of the Angry Sea Organization.

Dong dong dong——

Before Cui Shengguo could go and put on his clothes, someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it."

"Chairman, it’s me."

Cui Shengguo went over and opened the door. Outside stood a woman in an office‑lady uniform, slim waist, long legs, black stockings, her looks and figure every bit as good as the two women on the bed.

If work hadn’t been so busy lately, she would have been on that bed too.

The woman’s name was Li Xueli. She was Cui Shengguo’s secretary, just like the two women on the bed.

But Li Xueli was the secretary Cui Shengguo valued the most; many secret matters were personally handled by her.

"Chairman, Zhao Renming has disappeared. He and his two bodyguards are missing, and there’s still no news."

"What! Zhao Renming is gone!"

Cui Shengguo’s tone shot up, and his expression turned ugly.

"When was this discovered."

"This morning I called him to ask about the situation over at the laboratory and found no one was answering. I sensed something was off, so I sent people to look for him, but there was no one at his house. The furniture had all been knocked over; most likely he was taken."

"Fuck!"

Cui Shengguo kicked the table.

"Hurry up and find out who did it!"

"A few days ago, several Journalists from Yan Country came over. They’ve been investigating the Group and the Wuzhe Mountain Laboratory. Even though we tried to settle with money, they refused. I’m wondering if this might be related to them."

"Journalists?"

Cui Shengguo muttered, "A few Journalists shouldn’t be able to pull off something like this. Who the hell gave them the guts to kidnap our people here."

"But right now, aside from them, we can’t find any other suspects," Li Xueli said:

"I think we can start investigating from them first. Even if they’re not suspects, we can at least shut them up and stop them from digging into this any further."

"Fine, you handle the arrangements."

"Okay."

...

Past ten o’clock in the morning, Lin Yi and Xiao Bing woke up. After breakfast, they went off to deal with their own business.

Lin Yi stayed at the hotel, sorting through the situation in front of him.

Now that Zhao Renming had been taken, it was definitely related to those other big organizations. As for how much intel could be dug up, that was anyone’s guess.

But based on past experience, anyone with half a brain wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket.

Zhao Renming probably only had part of the information in his hands; the other people in charge might be holding other parts.

Which means they could become targets for other organizations.

At the same time, once the Jinshan Group knew about this, they would definitely ramp up security. An open and hidden struggle was about to kick off, and he needed to move as well.

Thinking this, Lin Yi opened his email.

Zhu Xiaojun had been very obedient. Yesterday Lin Yi told him to send over the Research Institute’s materials within an hour, and he really had sent everything.

Besides Zhao Renming, the Wuzhe Mountain Laboratory had two other persons in charge, named Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui.

Given the current situation, these two were likely in danger.

With that in mind, Lin Yi dialed Zhu Xiaojun’s number.

"Hello." Zhu Xiaojun said formally.

"It’s me."

Hearing Lin Yi’s voice, Zhu Xiaojun jolted.

"Y‑you... why are you calling me."

"Don’t be nervous. I just want to ask about a few things."

"W‑what do you want to know." Zhu Xiaojun said, trembling.

"Cui Shengguo should already know about Zhao Renming’s disappearance, right? Has he taken any specific measures."

"I heard they’ve already notified the police. As for anything else, I don’t know. His secretary Li Xueli is in charge of this."

"The laboratory has two deputy directors, Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui. How are they doing, are they still safe."

"Safe. They’re both at the Research Institute, nothing’s happened yet."

"If Cui Shengguo makes any further moves, you let me know immediately," Lin Yi said in a low voice:

"Stay in touch at all times. Don’t let me lose contact with you."

"O‑okay, okay..."

After hanging up, Lin Yi sent the Research Institute intel to Xiao Bing, telling her to keep a close eye on those two.

With these arrangements done, Lin Yi stretched.

Things here were wrapped up for the moment; time to swing by Lee Yongjin’s side.

He still needed to keep an eye on the interview, and chat with her a bit.

Saying that, Lin Yi went down to the little supermarket, bought a case of Apple, bought a case of yogurt, then grabbed a cab to find Lee Yongjin.

When Lin Yi arrived, the Security Department at the entrance had changed personnel.

Seeing Lin Yi come over, no one tried to stop him. Instead, they politely ushered him in.

Because they also knew what had happened yesterday, they naturally knew who Lin Yi was, and none of them dared to block him.

When he reached Lee Yongjin’s office, the interview was underway.

Seeing Lin Yi come in, Yue Sijing stood up. Lin Yi made a hush gesture, so as not to disturb the interview.

Lin Yi just stood off to the side, quietly listening.

The interview content was solid, and the questions struck just the right level.

That woman Lee Yongjin was very cooperative too, smiling the whole time, giving them plenty of face.

The stuff he’d bought for her wasn’t going to waste, then.
