Chapter 2747: Chapter 2748: Hunting Operation

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s analysis, everyone nodded repeatedly.

As a superior, one must prioritize the bigger picture in everything they do.

As the saying goes, when something abnormal happens, there’s bound to be a cause. There might be an even deeper secret hidden.

“So you think that behind Gerard, there might be another force driving him to act this way?”

“This is just my speculation,” Lin Yi said:

“There is a very crucial factor here, which is the death of William Delison.”

After a pause, Lin Yi continued:

“Various indications show that William was just a pawn for the authorities, used to mislead, for the development of other uses for the statue. The most likely person he collaborated with was Gerard.”

“If Gerard’s identity were pure, he wouldn’t have a reason to kill William. After all, they’re both just employees and considering his official status, doing such a thing isn’t worth it.”

“So, I suspect there might be some force behind him that’s driving him to act this way.”

“Besides, the gunshot wound on me wasn’t left by Gerard. Two people came to assist him, and there was a conflict between us.”

Lin Yi recalled the scene at the time, despite that mature woman’s powerful presence wiping out the two men, their instinctive reactions and moves suggested they were likely at a B-level.

People with such strength would definitely qualify for the Storm Team.

But the Storm Team is on the island for other missions and can’t stay on the mainland.

This also indicates that behind Gerard, there might be a private militia driving him.

“To prove this point, we’ll need others to step in. We’ve been blacklisted and can’t be exposed, or we’ll be in a situation of total ruin if we lose the protection of the embassy.”

Everyone knew full well that this was M nation, not Panem or Japan.

If they completely locked down, the danger would be unprecedentedly huge.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside.

Zhang Chaoyue and Luo Qi hurriedly came back.

“Boss, Sister Qiu, something’s not right outside,” Zhang Chaoyue said:

“It seems we’re being watched.”

“It seems my guess was right. The matter of Gerard has reached its conclusion, and they’re starting to handle the follow-up issues,” Lin Yi said.

“We can keep dragging this out, as we have plenty of time,” Shao Jianfeng said.

“This isn’t the best course of action; the participants aren’t just Gerard but also members of the Ghost Squad.”

In Lin Yi’s eyes, there was a chilling murderous intent.

“I won’t spare a single person involved in this.”

“Boss, just tell us what to do!”

Everyone in the group looked at Lin Yi with a firm gaze.

At this moment, they were ready to face any danger without hesitation!

Lin Yi also knew he couldn’t act alone anymore.

Otherwise, the unity of the group would be at risk.

“The Storm people should be on the island, and from both a spatial and strength perspective, we can’t deal with them, so now, we’ll target the Ghost Squad,” Lin Yi said:

“To carry out this task, Gerard has recalled them. I killed a few earlier, but there are around a dozen estimated remaining.”

“But the problem is, where are these people?” Qiu Yuluo said.

“The person taking Gerard’s place has already started deploying the follow-up plans. The Ghost Squad members will definitely be by his side. At that time, a reverse tracking wave can help locate them, which isn’t too difficult.”

“Reverse tracking?”

“Don’t rush, listen to me explain slowly.”

In the next hour and a half, Lin Yi explained his plan from start to finish.

Qiu Yuluo and the group were on edge as they listened.

This plan could no longer be merely described as bold.

After arranging the follow-up plans, the group members left one by one.

The room was left with only Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo.

“Elder Lu just sent a message, asking about your situation.”

Lin Yi nodded, “Tell him there’s nothing to worry about, no need to fret.”

“And about the statue, he said he’s on the way back, so you don’t need to worry.”

“That’s good.”

Lin Yi knew that the statue was taken by that woman, who worked under his father. Once she got the statue, she would naturally return it, requiring no concern from him.

“Why don’t you give him a call? Elder Lu seems to have other matters to discuss with you.”

Lin Yi didn’t respond immediately, and after a long pause, he finally said:

“Things here aren’t settled yet; let’s talk after it’s done.”

Qiu Yuluo sighed silently, unsure of what to say.

Over the next few days, Lin Yi remained in a state of recuperation, but he never stayed idle, always preparing for the follow-up plans.

Meanwhile, the world had not been calm either.

Gerard’s death was like a massive stone thrown into a tranquil lake, causing a great uproar.

The first to know about this was Lin Jingzhan, who received the news from Moon while Lin Yi was still in surgery.

“Did you see that? This is my son!”

Lin Jingzhan laughed heartily, happily slapping his thigh.

“Although Gerard was a bit weak, having A-level strength is still something. Being able to take him down really takes some skill,” Song Jinmin praised.

“Tch, she was sent to protect your son, but it ended up like this. I think she did it on purpose.”

Red Ace Mira, arms crossed, kept rolling her eyes, “Boss, you better watch out for that bitch.”

Mira and Moon never quite got along.

It was only someone like Lin Jingzhan who could control these two crazy women.

“Not necessarily. I still have some confidence in this,” Lin Jingzhan said with a smile.

“Any movement from Old M’s side?” Song Jinmin looked at Mira and asked.

She was in charge of intelligence work, knowing everything worldwide.

“Not at the moment. It seems they’re planning to handle it quietly.”

“Before his death, he’d already been dismissed. According to relevant regulations, dealing with it quietly is expected,” Lin Jingzhan said.

Bang~~~

Song Jinmin lit a cigarette and smoked silently.

“We’ve dealt with Gerard many times, but I never expected that old bastard to pull something this aggressive.”

“This might involve another matter,” Lin Jingzhan said:

“Don’t forget, he was part of the Freemasons.”

“The Freemasons have influence worldwide. Those politicians shouldn’t cooperate with them on such matters, it’s illogical.”

“The Freemasons are just on the surface; there might be deeper reasons.”

“Deeper reasons?”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Lin Jingzhan, waiting for him to continue.

“Don’t forget, he’s an Anglo-Saxon.”

Everyone’s faces darkened, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
