Finding the Mastermind
After Lingshan left, Huaijun picked up his phone and dialed Lin Yi's number. He had some things he wanted to talk to Lin Yi about, but after what Lingshan said today, he couldn't wait any longer and couldn't wait to meet up with Lin Yi!
Huaijun didn't tell Lin Yi before, because he didn't want Lin Yi to get involved! Huaijun knew Lin Yi's personality, and there were some things that Lin Yi couldn't pretend not to know once he knew! But if Lin Yi really did something, it'd be very dangerous!
But now, after hearing Lingshan's words, Huaijun realized that he'd underestimated his captain! They hadn't even done anything yet, and they'd already become enemies with House Yu, killing two of their masters … …
There were some things that Huaijun couldn't hide anymore! The reason why Huaijun stayed in Donghai for this period of time was because this international drug trafficking case had something to do with what happened in the past. Otherwise, Huaijun wouldn't have left his work in Songshan and come here to help!
Usually, it was the captain or vice captain of the criminal police who was seconded to help with a case, and it was rare for the vice director to be seconded. This was because Huaijun knew this drug trafficking case quite well, and he'd had a conflict with this drug cartel before!
But as the investigation progressed, Huaijun became more and more frustrated and helpless! Behind the drug trafficking group, there were some secrets that no one knew about!
Back then, Huaijun had returned from a mission in North Africa under orders to track down an international drug trafficker. It was this mission that caused his entire team to be annihilated, and Huaijun had barely escaped with his life, but he'd almost died there as well! But all his martial arts were crippled, and his meridians were destroyed!
Huaijun had thought that it was just a coincidence, but a couple of days ago, he'd learned some secrets from a mid-level leader of a drug cartel who'd just been captured!
The information the boss knew was vague, but it was enough for Huaijun to understand what the mastermind was trying to do! They were vicious!
Huaijun knew that Lin Yi would avenge him and the pangolin brothers if he found out about this! But Huaijun didn't want Lin Yi to get hurt because of him- Lin Yi wasn't a match for them yet!
But now, it seemed that none of that mattered.
"Brother Jun? Why are you calling me at this hour? You're back in Songshan? " Lin Yi was studying with Xiaoxiao in the classroom when Huaijun's call came in.
"No, I'm still in Donghai. Can we talk on the phone?" Huaijun asked.
"Hmm, what is it?" Lin Yi looked around- there weren't many people in the class- only Xiaoxiao was beside him. Most of the people were watching the singing competition on the field, and other than Xiaoxiao, no one else could hear Lin Yi's words.
"Lingshan came just now to ask me about the case, but she brought some news with her!" There wasn't that much hypocrisy between the two, and Huaijun went straight to the point. "Her strength increased, from early phase peak to late phase peak of the golden class. Is that because of you?"
"Yes, you can too." Lin Yi didn't hesitate at all. "This is also why I called you last time- I can fix your meridians and bring your strength up to golden class late phase peak!"
"Ah?" Lin Yi admitting it so straightforwardly made Huaijun a little uncomfortable! Huaijun knew that Lin Yi wouldn't hide it from him, but leveling up wasn't something that could be done just like that. There had to be a lot of hard work involved, and Lin Yi helping Lingshan might be because Lin Yi liked her, but Huaijun … Even if he was Lin Yi's brother, there was no need for Lin Yi to do something like this, was there?
Yet, Lin Yi didn't even seem to think about it before blurting it out. Huaijun was touched, but he couldn't help but think that Lin Yi would definitely avenge him and the armadillo if he were to tell Huaijun about it!
And so, Huaijun decided to remind Lin Yi not to be impulsive! He had to tell him, but he had to warn him beforehand!
"Golden class late phase peak … Sounds tempting …" Huaijun smiled. "Then I'll thank you first!"
"You don't have to thank me. Jun Bro, you called me just for this?" Lin Yi didn't think that Huaijun was someone that impulsive, right?
"No, it's just a question. There's something important I need to tell you, but you have to promise me that you won't be impulsive after you hear the news. You have to plan before you act, and don't do anything you're not confident in yet!" Huaijun said seriously after a sigh.
"Oh? What is it? " Lin Yi was curious at Huaijun's seriousness. "Jun Bro, what are you talking about?"
"It's about my injury, and Armadillo's death …" Huaijun said sorrowfully. "I think I can guess who the mastermind is …"
"Mastermind? Isn't it an international drug lord? "Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, but based on the evidence we have, we can deduce that this international drug trafficking organization is connected to House Yu …" Huaijun said.
"Which House Yu?" Lin Yi's heart raced.
"Don't worry, it's not that hidden House Yu. It's the common world's House Yu," Huaijun smiled.
"Jun Bro, you're joking again," Lin Yi didn't want to talk about the past, and changed the topic. "Are you sure it's House Yu?"
"They should be the mastermind. These few years, the noble houses have been getting into accidents. I'm guessing that if House Yu wants to grow, they'll have to attack the other noble houses! I'm the hope of House Yang's rise in this generation, and I'm already a golden class at sixteen. My potential is limitless, so House Yu wants to kill me, but Armadillo and my other teammates are involved … "Huaijun guessed.
"House Yu? Very good! "Lin Yi repeated the name faintly.
"Eagle, don't do anything stupid!" Huaijun's heart skipped a beat. He knew Lin Yi's personality. Lin Yi said it calmly, but Lin Yi didn't have any emotions when he talked about House Yu. Back on the battlefield, this was how Lin Yi acted before he was about to kill someone!
