Chapter 444: Chapter 382: Old Lin, Don’t You Recognize Me?

Lin Yi smiled and glanced at Lin Yu.

He gestured for him to sit down.

"You don’t have to act so surprised. You already knew I was back, didn’t you?"

Lin Yu froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head. "Huh? I had no idea. I’m at school for classes every day. How could I possibly know you were back?"

"Brother, what are you back for this time?"

"How did you... get involved with people from the military?"

Lin Yu looked completely bewildered, as if he didn’t have a clue about anything.

Lin Yi just watched him put on his act in silence.

After a long moment, once Lin Yu had finished speaking,

he continued with a smile, "Someone reported that you’ve been in contact with people from the Blood Handprint!"

"So, I had you brought here today to ask about this!"

"Tell me the truth. Have you really been in contact with the Blood Handprint?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "Brother, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. What’s the Blood Handprint? I’ve never even heard of it!"

"Oh? What about Blood Drop, then?"

"Blood Drop?"

Lin Yu couldn’t help but laugh. "That’s ancient history. Didn’t I join Blood Drop back then just to act as your mole?"

"And I helped you out a great deal, taking down several Blood Drop strongholds. Brother, you haven’t forgotten all that, have you?"

Lin Yu’s answer was watertight, without the slightest flaw.

He made it seem as if none of this had anything to do with him.

Just as Lin Yi was staring at him, he continued with a smile, "Brother, don’t tell me you enlisted in the army?"

"No, that’s not right. I looked it up online. It says Xingwu University is affiliated with the Demon Hunting Bureau!"

"It’s a Martial Arts University founded by the Demon Hunting Bureau. After graduation, students go to work for the Demon Hunting Bureau. Brother, you couldn’t have joined the Demon Hunting Bureau already, could you?"

Lin Yu kept asking questions, while Lin Yi simply stared at him.

He offered no response for a long time.

After a long while, Lin Yi finally murmured, "Our parents are here too. They’re waiting upstairs."

"What? You had Mom and Dad arrested too?"

"Brother, what’s the meaning of this? Even if you suspect me, you shouldn’t have dragged Mom and Dad into this!"

Lin Yi looked at Lin Yu’s furious expression.

He couldn’t help but laugh. "Not arrested, just brought over. I just got back, and I’ve been a little busy with work."

"I’ve been busy cracking down on those Blood Handprint ’cultivation farms’ and ’feeding grounds,’ so I didn’t have time to go back and see them. I figured I’d take this opportunity to bring them here!"

"By the way, have you ever thought about sending them to a ’feeding ground’ too?"

"What ’feeding ground’? Brother, what are you talking about?"

Lin Yu shook his head, feigning incomprehension.

Lin Yi smiled. "Fine. If you’re not willing to talk, then you can just stay here and think about it. When you remember something, come and find me."

At that, the iron door was opened, and Feng Lei and Shan Kui walked in.

Lin Yi glanced at them. "Take him away. Let him have a good, long think about it."

"Yes, sir!" Feng Lei nodded, then stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yu, and started dragging him outside.

But just as Lin Yu was about to turn and leave,

he shot a glance at Lin Yi from the corner of his eye.

The corner of his mouth was turned up slightly in a sinister smirk.

He offered no resistance, simply allowing Feng Lei and Shan Kui to lead him out.

A short while later,

Feng Lei and Shan Kui returned.

"Lord General, your brother didn’t say anything, did he?"

Lin Yi pinched the bridge of his nose and nodded lightly.

"Li Xuewen was right about one thing. He’s a born actor. It’s a real shame he didn’t go into acting."

At these words,

Feng Lei and Shan Kui exchanged a look.

"Boss, why don’t we just torture it out of him? People like him won’t confess until they’re at death’s door!"

"Instead of wasting time with him, let’s just use some... special methods!"

"We can just force him to admit it and be done with it!"

Shan Kui had just finished speaking when Feng Lei jabbed him hard with his elbow.

He whispered, "No matter what, that’s the Lord General’s brother. How can we use harsh torture on him?"

Listening to their exchange,

Lin Yi smiled. "First, he’s not my biological brother. Second, when facing a criminal, I would never bend the law for personal reasons."

"Tell everyone to prepare for a tough couple of days."

"If Lin Yu really is connected to the Blood Handprint, if he’s really a high-ranking member..."

"Once he disappears, the Blood Handprint members in Xinghai City will surely descend into chaos."

"The ’cultivation farms’ have been destroyed, the ’feeding grounds’ have been taken down, and now even their commander has gone missing!"

"Who knows... maybe even this Bard won’t be able to sit still!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking,

Feng Lei and Shan Kui both nodded.

"Oh, right, Boss. Lin Dazhi and the others are still upstairs!"

Lin Yi nodded. "Then let’s go up and see them."

After saying that, Lin Yi led the two of them upstairs.

In a small conference room upstairs,

Wei Shang was still making small talk with Lin Dazhi and Liu Hongmei.

By now, Lin Dazhi and Liu Hongmei had gradually started to relax.

At least, they were much more relaxed than when they had first arrived.

"Officer, it’s getting late, isn’t it? Shouldn’t you let us go home?"

"My son will be back from school soon. If he comes back and sees no one’s home... he’ll get worried!"

Liu Hongmei said anxiously.

She had barely finished speaking when, before Wei Shang could reply, the conference room door was pushed open.

Lin Yi walked in, followed by Feng Lei and Shan Kui.
