Chapter 1255: Finding the Mastermind

Chapter 1254 – Finding the Mastermind

After Song Linghan left, Huaijun picked up the phone and called Lin Yi’s number. There were some things he wanted to talk to him about when they met, but after hearing Lingshan’s words, he was getting really enthusiastic to talk with him!

There were some things he didn’t tell Lin Yi because he didn’t want him to get involved! He knew his personality- once he knew something, he couldn’t act as if he didn’t! But if Lin Yi really were to do something, that’d be extremely dangerous!

But now, after listening to Lingshan’s words, Huaijun knew that he’d really underestimated his captain! He was already enemies with House Yu, killing two of their practitioners…

He really couldn’t hold back anymore! He’d been here in Donghai because of an international drug organization- it connected to some events in the past. Otherwise he wouldn’t have left Songshan’s work and came here to help!

Usually, only the captain or vice-captain was sent to help with outside cases, rarely would the vice director himself would be shifted there! This was because Huaijun himself understood this drug case a lot better. He’d been in conflict with it before.

But as the investigation went on, Huaijun got only more angry and helpless! There was something no one knew about behind this drug group!

Back then, when Huaijun came back from North Africa’s mission, he was sent to follow a big fish of the international drug organization, and it was this mission that killed off all his team members. He barely survived himself! All his strength was gone because of that– all his nerves broken!

At first, he thought that this was just a coincidental encounter, but just a few days ago, Huaijun got information from a mid-range member of the drug group they captured- they learned some extreme insider information!

This information may not be a clear piece, but it was enough- for Huaijun, it was enough for him to understand the mastermind’s intention! They were so toxic and ruthless!

Huaijun knew that Lin Yi would take revenge for this brother of his if he knew, and so he kept it a secret in case Lin Yi went and got hurt because of him. Lin Yi wasn’t strong enough for them yet!

But this didn’t seem to be important now.

“Jun Bro? Why’re you calling now? You back in Songshan?” Lin Yi was currently in the study hall with Xiaoxiao. He wasn’t expecting a call from Huaijun.

“No, I’m in Donghai. Are you free to talk?” Huaijun asked.

“Yeah. What’s up?” Lin Yi said after looking around- there weren’t many people here, and there was only Xiaoxiao beside him. They’d all gone to see the singing competition, so only Xiaoxiao could hear him.

“Lingshan came just now, asking me about a case, but she brought me some information as well!” Huaijun had no need for a surface talk with Lin Yi. “Her strength increased from Golden class early phase peak to late phase peak because of you?”

“Yes, you can achieve the same too.” Lin Yi didn’t hesitate at all. “This is also why I called you this time- I can repair your nerves and make you Golden class late phase peak!”

“Ah?” Lin Yi’s blunt and direct words made Huaijun at a loss for words himself. He knew that Lin Yi wouldn’t hide anything from him, but this leveling up thing wasn’t something you just did to people. There had to be some high cost, some pain involved… Doing this for Lingshan was maybe due to the fact that he had some feelings for her, but doing it for Huaijun… They were brothers, but there was no reason for him to go this far?

But, Lin Yi didn’t even consider anything at all when he spoke. He felt moved. If he told Lin Yi this thing, then for sure he would go avenge him!

So he had to make sure to remind Lin Yi not to act on impulse! He would tell him for sure, but he needed this precaution!

“Golden class late phase peak. That’s quite something…” Huaijun smiled, “Then I’ll thank you first!”

“No need for thanks, Jun Bro- was this what you called me for?” Lin Yi felt that Huaijun wasn’t someone who didn’t have patience?

“No, this is just a side question. I called because there’s something important I have to tell you, but you need to promise me that you wouldn’t act on impulse afterward! That you would make a plan first and only go into it once you’re confident, and not rush in!” Huaijun said seriously after a sigh.

“Oh? What is it?” Lin Yi was a bit curious now. “Jun Bro, just what is it you’re speaking of?”

“It’s regarding that time I got injured, and information on Armadillo’s sacrifice…” Huaijun said a little sadly. “The mastermind… I can guess who it is…”

“The mastermind? Wasn’t that a big international crime group?” Lin Yi’s heart tensed.

“Yes, but new evidence suggests that this crime group is involved with House Yu…” Huaijun said.

“Which House Yu?” Lin Yi’s heartbeat quickened.

“Relax, it’s not the hidden House Yu, it’s got nothing to do with Ning. It’s the common noble house.” Huaijun smiled.

“Jun Bro, you’re joking about that again.” Lin Yi didn’t really want to talk about the past, “So you’re sure that it’s House Yu?”

“The masterminds should be them. These past years, the disciples of noble houses kept getting into accidents- I’m guessing that House Yu is attacking the noble houses because they want to be at the top! House Yang has placed their hope in me, and I was a Golden class when I was sixteen- there’s a lot of potential, and so House Yu wanted to get rid of me, except they involved Armadillo and the other team members…” Huaijun conjectured.

“House Yu, is it? Alright!” Lin Yi said flatly.

“Eagle, calm down!” Huaijun tensed- he knew how Lin Yi was. He may sound all calm and composed, but Lin Yi right now was the Lin Yi right before the killing. It was as if he was in a warzone with the way he spoke!

And so he was extremely worried that his captain would do something reckless.
