Chapter 1978: Fear of Huaxia

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After calming down, Lin Yi didn’t get out of the car immediately.

Instead, he drove to a relatively quiet place and found Fang Shihong and Shen Wenli’s phones.

In the car, Lin Yi looked at their phones, trying to find any useful clues.

About ten minutes later, Lin Yi unexpectedly found something.

There was an address that had appeared three times. It was the villa on Mount Victor in the southern district of Shianggang.

Lin Yi checked online and gained a deeper understanding of the situation in Shianggang.

The southern district of Shianggang was a normal wealthy district, and the villa on Mount Victor was a top-notch mansion there.

Ordinary people could only watch it from afar.

Because of this, Lin Yi guessed that this was very likely a secret residence of the Fang father and son duo.

This was because this was not included in the information provided by Qiu Yuluo.

At the thought of this, Lin Yi sent another message to Team 1.

“I’ll send you an address now. Investigate this place and make sure to conceal yourselves well.”

“Roger that!”

After sending the location message, Lin Yi took their phones and drove towards the coastline under the cover of the night.

He was prepared to dispose of Shen Wenli’s corpse.

…

At the VIP banquet hall of the Dongfang Wenhua Hotel in Shianggang.

A dining table that was more than five meters in diameter was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Fang Dezong, Evans, and Walker sat at the table, but the items on it remained untouched.

“Sir, did you call us here because you have something to tell us?”

“Something happened during the second operation against the Central Guards Brigade, so it didn’t work.”

Fang Dezong had known about the failure of the second operation from the beginning, but he did not say anything.

Things had happened too suddenly. He needed some time to think about how to explain it.

The two consecutive failures did not bode well for the Hongmen of Shianggang.

It would lower the trust the headquarters had in Hongmen. This was why he chose to stall for time and think about how to deal with this matter.

“It didn’t work?”

Evans and Walker looked at each other, surprised.

“What’s the specific reason?”

“We had already obtained Lin Yi’s corpse, but on the way, the Central Guards Brigade picked up the corpse again. I suspect that they might have received some news midway and did this.”

With that, Fang Dezong’s eyes fell on Evans and Walker.

“Are you sure you didn’t leak the news?”

Fang Dezong used his ability to shift the blame again. Although the responsibility was all on him, he was trying to find a way to pin it on Evans and Walker.

“That’s impossible. We didn’t participate in any of this. We wouldn’t leak any information.”

“Sir, you should look for other reasons.”

Evans was smart enough not to say things directly.

Because of the difference in status between them, he didn’t state it aloud. He was also reminding Fang Dezong to look for the reason on his own reason.

“There can’t be any problems on our side; otherwise, they wouldn’t have released our people,” Fang Dezhong said.

“The issue must lie elsewhere. I suspect they uncovered other information which led to this situation.”

“What do you mean?”

“The source of all this lies in Fosse’s murder. My thought is whether they might have had some clue at that point.”

Evans and Walker remained silent. If the clues were indeed exposed during that incident, the problem might indeed lie on their end.

“It can’t be,” Walker said.

“Even if some clues were left behind, they wouldn’t be connected to the mission in Shianggang. The problem must be elsewhere. I hope Supervisor will conduct a thorough investigation.”

Fang Dezhong nodded, his expression unchanged, as if to say that the problem lay elsewhere and it had nothing to do with Hongmen.

“We will continue to investigate this matter, but the issue has already occurred. The Central Guards Brigade took his body, and it’s likely in Yanjing now. If we want to retrieve the specimen, we’ll have to figure out a way to get to Yanjing.”

“That will be very difficult.”

Evans spoke thoughtfully.

“The security around Yanjing is much stricter than we imagined. Although the specimen is important, the risks involved are also far beyond our expectations. We need to report this to headquarters and see how the President and Supervisor want to handle this.”

“Very well,” Fang Dezhong said.

“We will also actively search for clues and try to identify the cause.”

Evans nodded and stood up. “Supervisor, the mission failed, and we should be leaving. There are other matters awaiting our attention.”

“Are you returning to headquarters?” Fang Dezhong asked politely.

“The root of the problem lies with the Mitsui family. We plan to go to the Sunrise Land to expedite the rebuilding of the Yamaguchi-gumi and then deal with the Mitsui family. So we won’t be staying here.”

“Alright, we’ll arrange for someone to take you to the airport.”

“Thank you, Supervisor.”

“You’re too kind.”

The dishes on the table were not touched. The three of them walked out one after another.

Fang Dezong arranged for someone to send the two of them to the airport. He also got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the door.

The driver was a middle-aged man. His hair was gray at the temples, and the corners of his eyes and forehead were filled with wrinkles. He seemed to be about the same age as Fang Dezong.

However, there was a clear scar on the back of his right hand that seemed to extend to his arm.

The middle-aged man’s name was Dai Yongxiang, and he was Fang Dezong’s chauffeur.

He had been with Fang Dezong for more than 20 years.

At that time, Dai Yongxiang was only at E-class. Although he was not the strongest, he had always been valued by Fang Dezong because of his loyalty.

Ten years ago, Fang Dezhong secretly gained the support of the Freemasons and, through internal gang conflicts, seized the position of leader of Hongmen.

Half a year later, having solidified his position within Hongmen, Fang Dezhong swiftly launched attacks against Sun Yee On and 14K, ultimately emerging victorious.

In both of these operations, Dai Yongxiang played a pivotal role.

The scar on his arm was from that time.

Over the past twenty years, Dai Yongxiang rose from an E-class to the peak of C-class.

If it weren’t for an injury that caused irreversible damage to his body, he would have long been a B-class expert by now.

For this reason, Dai Yongxiang became Fang Dezhong’s bodyguard, always staying by his side and never being sent away.

“Master, you don’t look well. Didn’t you manage to deal with those two people?” Dai Yongxiang asked with a smile.
