Chapter 2207: Chapter 2208: Clearly a Suicide Out of Fear of Punishment

“Of course.”

Lin Yi spread his hands and said,

“You gotta know, I came from the Central Guards Brigade. Who do I not dare to move? Who do I not dare to kill? Bombs couldn’t blow me up, you think I’d be killed by a few broken guns? Are you looking down on me, or are you looking down on the Central Guards Brigade?”

Shao Zhenye’s body trembled, and he subconsciously retreated backward.

Gu Haiping and Zhang Jiahao were no better off.

At this moment, they only felt fear towards Lin Yi.

“Now that it’s come to this, you guys might as well stop hiding. It’s time to wrap things up.”

Lin Yi, step by step, walked towards the three men, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

“What are you standing there for? Stop him quickly!”

Zhang Jiahao bellowed; he was already regretting getting involved in this messy situation.

“Bro, calm down. This has nothing to do with me, it was all their plotting. We have no past grudges; you can’t lay your hands on me.”

“We indeed have no past grudges, but wasn’t it you who killed Liu Huasheng in Shanwei?” Lin Yi said,

“And the person who sent people to kill me last night, that was you too, wasn’t it? Isn’t that reason enough for me to finish you off?”

“I, I was just bribed by them to do such a thing!”

At this point, Shao Zhenye also spoke up.

“I know you’re from the Central Guards Brigade and that you hold great power, but this matter will be handled by someone specific, and it’s not your place. What you’re doing is against the law.”

“To be honest, I really didn’t plan to take matters into my own hands and was prepared to leave it to the officials,” Lin Yi said coldly.

“But you guys have some real nerve, daring to attack us in broad daylight. And some of our team members even got minor injuries. As the team leader, if I don’t do something, I’d be failing in my duties.”

After speaking, Lin Yi took out the Defense Master Dagger from his pocket and, looking at the bodyguards standing before him, said:

“Do you want to take a chance against me, or do you want to live? Make your choice now.”

The twenty or so men standing before the three were looking at each other.

They could tell that the man before them was not to be trifled with.

Trembling, the twenty or so men quietly dispersed to the sides; their resolve was shaken.

Shao Zhenye and Gu Haiping’s faces wildly changed as they shouted loudly:

“What are you all doing? Stop him quickly!”

But even then, nobody paid any attention to them; they didn’t want to risk their lives for this.

Because a few of them had already been injured by him downstairs.

Seeing the situation turn dire, the three tried to make a run for it, but Lin Yi didn’t give them the opportunity.

With a quick stride, he charged forward, knocking Zhang Jiahao to the ground, leaving him incapacitated.

The remaining Shao Zhenye and Gu Haiping suffered the same fate.

Not getting far, they were all brought down by Lin Yi, writhing in pain, unable to even stand.

“Everyone else, clear out. There are things you’re not supposed to see, could get you in trouble.”

The twenty or so men took to their heels, not daring to stay any longer.

At this moment, only Lin Yi and his three captives remained on the entire fourth floor, deathly silent.

…

Pengcheng, Armed Police Reception Center.

There were two people in a room on the third floor.

On the coffee table and desk in the room, files were spread out along with two laptops that were in use.

“Brother Yang, what do you think Team Leader Lin will do about this?”

The person called Brother Yang was medium-built with neatly cut short hair, looking to be in his early forties. Dressed in a simple white vest, he exuded an easygoing vibe.

This man was Su Wenyang, who had just called Lin Yi.

The other person was his colleague, Meng Chengcai.

“I have no idea, but I guess his methods won’t be too gentle,” Su Wenyang said as he lit a cigarette.

“The Central Guards Brigade is the violent arm of the state, and Team Leader Lin is the Merit Team Leader of the Central Guards Brigade. His being sent down here means that they are ready to go head to head with someone. As for the outcome, no one knows; we can only wait for the results.”

“If there’s an opportunity, I’d really like to meet such a person. He must be extraordinary.”

“I would like that too…”

Ring, ring, ring–

It was Su Wenyang’s phone ringing, another colleague of his.

“Team leader, something has happened. Shao Zhenye and Gu Haiping have jumped to their deaths from the Yunshan Club.”

With a start, Su Wenyang stood up.

“What did you say! They committed suicide!”

“Yes, I’m here observing the scene when I suddenly saw two people fall from the building. I went over and found it was Shao Zhenye and Gu Haiping.”

“Okay, I got it. I’m on my way.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Wenyang locked eyes with Meng Chengcai, who said,

“They were fine; why would these two kill themselves?”

“I’ve been wondering about that too. Based on the data we’ve collected, they weren’t at the point of receiving the death penalty. Committing suicide seems a bit extreme.”

“This…”

Meng Chengcai fell silent for a few seconds, “Do you think it could have something to do with Team Leader Lin?”

“Team Leader Lin?”

“It shouldn’t be.” Su Wenyang said,

“Team Leader Lin is a smart man. With public opinion in such a state, there’s no need for him to take action…”

Ring, ring, ring–

Su Wenyang’s phone rang again. Seeing who was calling, he said excitedly, “It’s Team Leader Lin’s call; I’ll ask what’s going on.”

“Team Leader Lin.”

“The situation in Pengcheng is almost handled. On the eighth floor of the Wanda Jiahua Hotel on Xinbei Road, over twenty people are dead. My men are there on the scene; I need you to send people to take care of it.”

Over twenty people are dead…

Su Wenyang shuddered, an ominous premonition rising within him.

It appears that the deaths of Shao Zhenye and Gu Haiping were not unfounded.

They must be related to this matter!

“Team Leader Lin, my colleague said that Shao Zhenye and Gu Haiping, they…”

“I had them killed, but I left Zhang Jiahao alive. You can have your men take him away, that should be good enough for a trade-in for some merit.”

“So it really was you…”

“Haha…”

Lin Yi laughed heartily, “How can you say they were killed by me? It was clearly suicide out of fear of their crimes.”

Su Wenyang was taken aback at first, then he also began to laugh heartily.

“Exactly, it was suicide out of fear of their crimes. I’m heading over to take care of it now.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“You too.”

On the other side, Lin Yi had already come out of the Yunshan Club.

With Shao Zhenye and Gu Haiping gone, the club no longer possessed any real threat.

The remaining riffraff could be dealt with by Su Wenyang’s capabilities; Lin Yi didn’t need to make a move.

After leaving, Lin Yi made a call to Xiao Bing, instructing her to cooperate with Su Wenyang and handle the aftermath, then he set a place to meet up afterward.

After giving all the orders, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was Ji Qingyan calling.

“Do you miss me?” Lin Yi teased,

“The situation here is almost taken care of. If all goes well, I’ll be back tonight.”

“Like I’d miss you,” Ji Qingyan replied with her typical haughty tone.

“Lee Yongjin is here; he wants to have a meal with us.”
