Chapter 2722: Chapter 2723: Unexpected
Lin Yi’s gaze swept over the dozen or so people.
“What’s the meaning of this? I’ve spent money, and this is how you treat tourists?”
“Are you sure you’re just ordinary tourists?”
The leading strong man said:
“Hurry up and say it, are you cops or not!”
“If I say no, would you believe it?” Lin Yi said calmly.
“Don’t think we don’t know what’s going on. The surveillance at the village entrance has already spotted you, and from your demeanor, it’s clear you’re cops!”
The strong man’s performance surprised Lin Yi a bit.
These people seemed unremarkable, yet their counter-surveillance abilities were pretty strong.
In addition, their setup was even tighter than Lin Yi had imagined.
To have installed cameras at the village entrance and hidden them so well, that requires some skill.
“At this point, our identity shouldn’t matter anymore, right?” Lin Yi said calmly:
“What you’ve done is illegal in itself.”
“I can’t be bothered to waste words with you, but don’t worry, we’re not stupid enough to fight you. Just trouble yourselves to stay here for a while and don’t go out.”
Then, the strong man said to the yellow-haired youth:
“Lock the windows and doors, don’t let the two of them run out.”
“Got it, big brother.”
“Let’s go, we’ve got important stuff to do.”
After dealing with Lin Yi and Gu Yiran, the strong man was ready to leave with his people, but Lin Yi called out to him from behind.
“After doing all this, just leaving like that doesn’t sit right, does it?”
“Huh?”
The strong man suddenly turned back, his facial expression changing.
“I’m warning you, don’t think that just because you’re cops, you can look down on us. I just don’t want to fight with you, don’t think I’m afraid of you!”
“Too much damn talking.”
Lin Yi stood up and kicked the strong man squarely.
The latter didn’t react in time and was kicked to the ground by Lin Yi.
“Damn it, I’m gonna kill you today!” the strong man cursed, “Everyone get him, kill him for me!”
A dozen people pulled out their weapons, their expressions showed no hesitation, really daring to fight Lin Yi to the death.
From this, Lin Yi could tell that these people were desperados.
General thugs wouldn’t have this kind of fierce energy.
Very quickly, Lin Yi had made up his mind.
Facing people like this, it was necessary to act decisively and swiftly, without wasting any time, or it might cause trouble.
Thinking this, Lin Yi targeted the person at the forefront and punched him in the face.
Crack!
In an instant, the sound of bones cracking echoed.
The hit person’s face was covered with blood, clutching his nose, rolling on the ground!
Lin Yi’s ruthless methods, to some extent, intimidated the strong man and the yellow-haired youth.
They knew his identity was not ordinary, but didn’t expect him to be so ruthless.
“Everyone stick together, kill them, or we’ll all die.”
A dozen people were seeing red, fully aware of the shady dealings they’d done over the years.
If caught, it would mean at least ten years in prison, they’re at a critical moment, and there can be no softness.
“With your stance, even the suicide squads of World War II don’t compare.”
“Be careful and don’t get distracted right now,” Gu Yiran reminded.
“It doesn’t matter if I’m distracted, just a bunch of small fry.”
Lin Yi moved extremely fast, like he could multitask, talking with Gu Yiran while dodging the opponent’s attacks.
He grabbed the yellow-haired youth’s arm and twisted it back forcefully.
Followed by an ear-piercing scream, the yellow-haired youth almost passed out, clutching his arm, twitching on the ground.
The remaining people weren’t much better, within less than three minutes, Lin Yi had beaten them until they were bleeding from the head, none of them could stand up.
The security guards outside weren’t spared either, being dragged into the house by Gu Yiran.
Better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
At this moment, Lin Yi and Gu Yiran had determined that no one in the scenic area was likely a good person, none could be let go.
Lin Yi pulled out the Defense Master Dagger and squatted in front of the strong man.
“Answer whatever I ask, don’t make me repeat myself.”
“W-What do you want to ask?”
“What’s going on with this temple, who is the person controlling everything from behind the scenes.”
“I-I don’t know…”
“Do you seriously think I’m going to play nice and go through legal procedures with you?”
As he finished speaking, Lin Yi stabbed down, the blade piercing the strong man’s calf.
“Are you going to talk, or not?”
“Ah—”
A heart-wrenching scream followed, the strong man’s face turned pale, and he broke out in cold sweat.
“It’s the head, his name is Guo Xiangyang, we’re all his subordinates.”
“Where is he now.”
“Should still be up the mountain, I don’t know if he’s left,” the strong man said, enduring the pain.
“What do you mean.”
“In the past few days, people below have had incidents, the head thinks it’s unsafe here and is planning to withdraw, everything is being moved out, I don’t know if he’s still up the mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi and Gu Yiran understood what was going on.
The large truck they just saw wasn’t a coincidence, they were preparing to run away.
“Contact Su Ying and the others, have them come and regroup, be ready to act at any time.”
“Got it.”
While Gu Yiran was contacting people, Lin Yi wasn’t idle either.
He knocked out everyone on the ground to prevent them from causing trouble.
“Are you finished?” Lin Yi asked.
Gu Yiran furrowed her brows, “It’s been half a minute, and she hasn’t replied yet.”
Lin Yi and Gu Yiran, both with rich experience, sensed the ominousness of such an abnormal situation.
“Send it again.”
Gu Yiran nodded, “Team B, Team B, please respond if you hear this.”
Time ticked by, and until more than a minute later, there was still no movement from the other side.
“Something might have happened.”
Lin Yi took the small microphone from Gu Yiran and pressed the switch:
“Guo Xiangyang, if you hear this, just say something.”
Under normal circumstances, receiving a message from companions, you should reply immediately.
Even if inconvenient, there should be some minimal response to let your comrades know your current situation.
But now, there had been no answers to two consecutive calls, indicating that something serious had happened.
This time, the two didn’t wait long, a voice came through the earphones.
“Impressive, actually able to find this place, I, Guo Xiangyang, am impressed.”
“At this point, it’s inappropriate to say such things,” Lin Yi said calmly:
“Where is my colleague, let them go.”
“Haha… let them go?”
Guo Xiangyang laughed and said:
“I’m guessing your people have surrounded Nanmao Mountain. If I let them go, how can I leave? I advise you not to act rashly, her life is in my hands. We might as well all die together, let’s see who’s really afraid.”
