“We can take away all the research data from the institute, and we have an extra two kilograms of ore,” he said. “These are our Protective Talismans, which we can use to exchange for asylum.”

Hearing such a plan, Li Zhenquan’s eyes lit up.

It seemed like a viable option.

“But the question is, who can offer us protection?”

Li Zhenquan verbalized his inner anxiety.

“America created these things themselves, and the whole of Europe is under the control of the Freemasons; these are places we cannot go to. The Mitsui Group in Japan has already mastered this technology and, just like America, they wouldn’t do such a thing.”

...

Li Yinghong contemplated for a long time before finally saying in a deep voice,

“It seems that the only one capable of doing this is the Li family from Korea.”

“Besides them, it seems there’s no one else,” Li Zhenquan sighed.

If possible, Li Zhenquan did not want to seek help from Samsung, as their relationship had always been less than amicable.

“Dad, we can’t consider so much right now. You handle the internal matters and take away whatever we can. I’m going to the lab now to take the data and ore, then we’ll fly directly to Korea.”

“Go.”

Li Zhenquan didn’t dwell on it any longer; after all, it was the only way.

Half an hour later, the two drove to the detention center.

Just before getting out of the car, He Jiaxing said to Lin Yi,

“Lin Yi, since we’re all our own people, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Just tell me the truth, how do you want to deal with those people locked up?”

“enenen…”

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi said, “Handle it as if it were suicide by fear of crime.”

He Jiaxing’s expression froze in an instant. Lin Yi’s response enveloped him in a chill.

Indeed, no one who came out of that place was easy to provoke.

“You go ahead, I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Thank you, Uncle He.”

Lin Yi opened the door, got out of the car, and was then led into the detention center.

After that turmoil, the people here had all been replaced by He Jiaxing’s trusted men.

In other words, coming here now was like being on one’s own turf.

“The person is inside,” said the staff member of the detention center.

“Please seal the door for me; I don’t want the outside to see what’s happening inside.”

“Okay.”

The door to the cell was opened, and Lin Yi walked in.

Seeing Lin Yi enter, Ruan Wentong and the other six shivered and kept retreating to the corners of the cell.

At that very moment, the cell door’s curtain was drawn, turning the room into a sealed space. From the outside, it was impossible to know what was happening inside.

“What are you going to do? We don’t know anything…”

“You don’t need to say anything, I’m just here to deal with you.”

“Deal with us…”

“You people from Hongmen are really bold, daring to lay a hand on someone from the Central Guards Brigade. Don’t you know that’s a death sentence?”

“We had no choice, our trade was disrupted by your people, and the goods were taken by you too. If we didn’t kill them, our tracks would have been exposed.”

“To say you’re stupid would be an understatement.”

Lin Yi stood his ground, looking down from above and said,

“We even know the specific trade information, so naturally, we know that Hongmen is behind this. Playing such games is just plain unwise.”

Ruan Wentong swallowed hard, too frightened by Lin Yi to know what to say.

He had a bad premonition; whether or not he could leave alive was truly an unknown.

“Please, don’t lay a hand on me. I can tell you everything I know. Just spare my life, and I will no longer work for Hongmen,” Ruan Wentong said nervously.

“The trade partner came from Zhong Hai, and Hongmen also has a secret laboratory dedicated to the development of the E-class serum, located in a pharmaceutical factory in Tongluo Bay. There is a lot of research data there; if you go, you will find it.”

Ruan Wentong knelt on the ground, clasping his hands together, begging for mercy repeatedly.

“I’ve told you everything I know; please don’t kill me. I really don’t want to die.”

“Not wanting to die won’t help you. The Central Guard Brigade believes in exacting revenge. None of you six will leave here alive.”

Over the next half hour, screams kept coming from inside the cell.

People from other cells, out of curiosity, kept sticking their heads out to find out what was happening.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi walked out, calm and collected as if nothing had happened.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Yi left the detention center.

They exchanged glances and began whispering among themselves.

“What happened inside? Those screams were so miserable.”

“Must have been a beating, you know the situation with that guy. The other day, he took down Zhou Changlin and the other eight all by himself; he’s an impressive fighter.”

“Do you even need to mention that, with the curtain drawn at the door? If he wasn’t going to act, there would be no need for that.”

“Those guys really got the short end of the stick, offending that devil. It looks like they’ve been beaten to within an inch of their lives.”

“Enough, stop talking, someone’s coming, all of you behave.”

All the cells quieted down, and then they saw a dozen people carrying stretchers walking in.

And some held other things, arriving at the cell door and going in one after another.

“Holy shit, look, the people inside are being carried out, covered with white sheets.”

Everyone looked in that direction, and chills ran down their spines.

It wasn’t unusual to be carried out on a stretcher, they had already anticipated that.

But being covered with white sheets was unacceptable.

“They actually beat them to death?”

This was the detention center; how could such a thing happen?!

The scene before them cast a shadow over everyone’s heart.

Would they one day end up the same way?

Leaving the detention center, He Jiaxing had already left.

Lin Yi called him to give him a heads-up about the situation, then took a taxi back to the hospital.

Back at the hospital, Zhao Yunhu had regained consciousness, and everyone else’s condition was gradually improving, and they were now able to communicate normally.

“Did you dispose of everyone?” Ning Che asked.

Lin Yi nodded and said,

“And I’ve also obtained some useful information. The Freemasons have an independent research institute here on Shianggang, in a factory called Hexing Pharmaceutical in Tongluo Bay. Send someone over to check it out and seal off the factory. The information inside could be very valuable.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange that right now.”

“You just take care of the pharmaceutical factory, I’ll handle the Li family’s matter myself. Don’t alert them unnecessarily in the early stages.”

“Understood.”
