Chapter 2478: Chapter 2479: Meticulous Deployment

After hanging up with Gao Zongyuan, Lin Yi drove to Huaqing Lake and then booked a private room.

About half an hour later, Qin Han, Gao Zongyuan, and Liang Jinming hurried into the private room.

“Damn, you’re here practicing immortality or what, with all this smoke.” Qin Han waved his hand, trying to disperse the smell of the smoke.

Lin Yi extinguished his cigarette butt, “Come in first, I have something to tell you guys.”

Seeing the serious expression on Lin Yi’s face, the three of them didn’t dare to waste any time, closed the door, and sat down next to him.

“On the way here, Gao already told us two. Just tell us your plan straight up,” Qin Han said.

“From now on, use all the power and resources at your disposal to organize a cruise sailing from Miami, the final destination being Sunrise Land Kyoto. The bigger the scale, the better–don’t be afraid to splurge. Target high-achievers and big names in business and politics.”

Qin Han’s eyes shifted, “So basically, set up a high-class gathering, right?”

“But with such gatherings, if everything’s too clean-cut, people might not be interested in joining,” Liang Jinming said as he lit up a cigarette:

“There needs to be some thrilling activities, you know what I mean.”

“For that part, we’ll need Lin Bro to take charge. The girls he knows are much more high-end than ours,” Gao Zongyuan said.

“Alright, I’ll think about that area. You guys just arrange the cruise event. If there’s anything you’re unsure about, go to Wangjiang Dock to find Lin Yi and discuss with him. But I have a few requirements,” Lin Yi said seriously:

“It has to be the most luxurious, the higher the standard the better, the more people the better, the higher the profile the better.”

“Secondly, you must not reveal your identities. Use the forces you have overseas and operate the entire event under foreign identities and names. Make sure not to let any of the people in China be involved, particularly your identities, not a single one should be exposed.”

“Finally, this matter must be carried out step by step; don’t rush things. There’s enough time to ensure that the first two requirements are met smoothly.”

“Understood. We will do our best,” they said.

Qin Han also lit a cigarette, his expression serious. This big task landing on his shoulders also put him under no small amount of pressure.

“Lin Bro, about my uncle…”

“I’ve called and asked, there’s no life-threatening danger for now, but he’s going to have a tough time.”

“Going through tough times is not what I’m afraid of, as long as there’s no danger,” Qin Han said.

“Rest assured, there won’t be any danger,” Lin Yi reassured:

“Now go, and make sure all procedures are correct. Expedite this matter as soon as possible.”

“Then we’re leaving first, and we’ll contact by phone if anything comes up.”

Lin Yi nodded, and the trio of Qin Han left one after another.

Lin Yi lit another cigarette, and then he called Yan Ci.

He shared his thoughts with her.

“Hmm? How come you’re doing such things now?”

“Don’t ask about the details. For now, just help me arrange it. It’s best to look overseas. Money is not an issue, spend as much as necessary, whether it’s celebrities or young models, as many as I can get,” Lin Yi said:

“I’ll transfer 50 million to you later, let me know if it’s not enough.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up with Yan Ci, Lin Yi called Caie Mitsui.

“Mr. Lin Yi.”

Upon receiving Lin Yi’s call, Caie Mitsui’s tone carried a hint of joy.

“It’s urgent, so I’ll get straight to the point,” Lin Yi said:

“I need some manpower, send over ten absolutely reliable people, the kind who can be sent to their deaths at critical moments without any issue.”

“Alright, I understand,” Caie Mitsui replied earnestly. “Is there anything else you need my help with?”

“That’s all for now. Arrange it on your end first, and make sure it’s done covertly, without revealing yourself.”

“Yes, I got it.”

“I’ll hang up for now, we’ll be in contact by phone if anything happens.”

“Okay, Mr. Lin Yi, please stay safe.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi tossed it aside and lay down on the sofa bed with his hands cushioning his head.

If there were any other way, Lin Yi wouldn’t call Caie Mitsui.

But the people from the Central Guard Brigade had all left, and it wasn’t appropriate to call them back.

Under such circumstances, the only person he could absolutely trust was Caie Mitsui.

Time passed, another hour or more. Lin Yi got up, drove to the research institute, and found Shen Tianzhuo.

“Director Lin is here.”

Lin Yi nodded, striding briskly towards Shen Tianzhuo.

“Boss Shen, I need to discuss something with you, let’s talk in the office.”

“Let’s go, I’ll make you a pot of tea.”

“No, no, no need, it’s urgent.”

Sensing that something was amiss, Shen Tianzhuo didn’t waste any words and hurried back to the office with Lin Yi, locking the door behind them.

“What’s happened? You seem so rushed.”

In Shen Tianzhuo’s memory, he had never seen Lin Yi so urgent.

“I need a group of people to develop a remote control system. Is this going to be difficult?”

“What needs to be controlled?”

“The operating system of a small fishing boat. It just needs to follow a preset route and start and stop automatically.”

“What?”

Shen Tianzhuo was startled, “This isn’t easy to handle.”

“Is there no chance at all?”

“There is a chance, but it’s very difficult. I can’t guarantee that it can be done.”

Shen Tianzhuo’s response chilled Lin Yi’s heart by half.

“How about this, you have one month. Whatever you can manage within that time, just do it. Don’t worry about the cost, hire anyone you need to, but the only requirement is absolute secrecy. The information must not leak out.”

After pondering for a moment, Shen Tianzhuo nodded, “I will do my best, but don’t hold onto absolute hope, otherwise, I’ll be under too much pressure.”

“It’s okay, just do your best.”

“Alright.”

Leaving the research institute, Lin Yi did not go anywhere else but returned to Jiuzhou Pavilion.

He wanted to have a moment of peace.

In the past several days, Lin Yi made the most meticulous refinement of his plan to avoid any flaw in any aspect.

Qin Han and his two companions acted quickly–the message had already been put out, and the response was substantial.

Everything was developing in the direction Lin Yi had anticipated.

But for Lin Yi, these were just appearances; he was unclear about the situation behind the scenes.

It was very possible that after all his busy efforts, a single order from the Americans could shut everything down, rendering all plans fruitless.

And during this anxious time, Lin Yi also received definitive news.

The Americans had taken the initiative to contact China, hoping to hand over the ancient manuscripts.

Both sides had been in a stalemate, with neither yielding.

The only silver lining was that the hostages weren’t harmed, although they were completely controlled, and it was improbable they’d be returning anytime soon.

At this moment, all Lin Yi could do was wait.

Before he knew it, another half a month had passed, and all was calm.

But anyone with insight knew that a massive storm was brewing.

The clash between two titans was about to unfold.
