Chapter 2228: Chapter 2229: Fierce Struggle

“Look at Yun Hu, his condition isn’t too good either,” Shao Jianfeng said.

Luo Qi moved next to Zhao Yunhu, listened to his heartbeat, and checked his pulse. His face suddenly changed dramatically.

“Hurry, even faster, Brother Hu’s condition is really bad!”

“Damn it!”

Luo Qi swallowed, “Notify Lin Bro to come over. With this condition, it’s unlikely to get back to Zhong Hai anytime soon.”

…

...

Zhong Hai, Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Lin Yi sat on the sofa, bending slightly, silently clenching a cigarette, constantly shaking his leg.

He placed his watch on the table, glancing at it from time to time.

It was now past ten at night, and Group One had already started their operation.

But what the final outcome would be, no one knew.

Just like a worried old father, letting his child go to school alone, both anxious and restless.

Normally unexpressive, he now wore all his anxiety and distress on his face.

At this moment, Ji Qingyan, just fresh out of the bath, walked out from the bathroom.

She stood on the second floor, quietly looking at Lin Yi.

The two of them, at this time, were enduring torment, engaged in intense internal struggles.

Ring, ring, ring—

The sudden ring of the phone sounded like thunder in the quiet night, unexpectedly breaking the calm of the villa.

It was Xiao Bing who had called.

Lin Yi picked up the phone.

“How is the situation?”

Ji Qingyan didn’t know what was said on the phone, but seeing Lin Yi’s expression drastically change, even the muscles around his eyes began to twitch.

“Which hospital?”

“I understand.”

Lin Yi responded, then stood up from the sofa.

However, at that moment, he saw Ji Qingyan standing on the second floor and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

As if an invisible barrier had bound his ankles.

He wanted to leave, but at that moment, he reined in all his strength, his emotions becoming more agitated.

“I’m going to Pengcheng, I’ll be back soon, not going to Shianggang.”

Saying this, Lin Yi, regardless of Ji Qingyan’s emotions, turned around and left the villa.

“Lin Yi!”

Just as Lin Yi stepped out of the house, Ji Qingyan called out to him from behind.

But Lin Yi didn’t hear her.

Vroom, vroom, vroom—

Soon the sound of the engine followed; Lin Yi drove away, not hearing Ji Qingyan’s call.

On his way to the airport, Liang Jinming called him.

He was instructed to arrange the plane, ready to fly to Pengcheng.

…

Shianggang, Dongfang Wenhua Hotel.

After leaving Happy Valley, Li Zhenquan and Zhou Guangyao came here.

But Zhou Guangyao’s complexion was not very favorable, even showing a hint of resentment.

“Director Li, didn’t you say this deal was foolproof, how could such an incident occur?”

“Boss Zhou, I’m sorry, I can’t figure it out now, exactly where the problem occurred.”

“I hope Director Li can give me an explanation.”

“I will.”

Li Zhenquan’s expression was grim, angered by the situation.

Although he had ascended to the leader position of Hongmen, his capabilities were far less compared to those of Fang Dezhong.

Even compared to Fang Shihong, he was somewhat lacking.

Ambition was his fatal flaw.

At that moment, the door of the reception room opened, and Ruan Wentong walked in.

“Leader.”

Seeing Ruan Wentong, Li Zhenquan hurriedly asked,

“What exactly happened, how did you let them get away!”

“It was about to be successful, but one person was wrapped in explosives, threatening a mutual destruction. At that time, because of the dense crowd in Happy Valley, to avoid wider impact, we had to let them go.”

“Damn it!”

Li Zhenquan slammed his hand on the table and cursed:

“A bunch of trash, couldn’t you subdue him before he acted!”

“He didn’t give me the chance.”

“Damn it!”

Li Zhenquan was nearly furious to the point of cerebral hemorrhage. This had been his first order since taking office.

He had thought to make a mark and show the headquarters, but now everything had gone wrong, all messed up.

However, Zhou Guangyao had quieted down quite a bit, his emotions even seeming to become calmer.

According to Ruan Wentong, the group from the Central Guards Brigade seemed not to match him, but because of the explosives, they ultimately had to let them go.

This also meant that this operation did not involve group leader-level figures; only members had come.

Otherwise, with Ruan Wentong’s capabilities, he wouldn’t have made it back.

And the people he had sent were unregistered in the circles, with no relation to the Zhou family, so it was unlikely that his information would be leaked.

It seemed, the situation was still somewhat within control.

“Alright, get out!”

Li Zhenquan dismissively waved his hand, he was too overwhelmed now, this incident impacted him far beyond what it seemed.

“Director Li, I’d like to know, how are you going to deal with it?”

Zhou Guangyao had come to accept the reality of the mission’s failure.

Although it would affect the Zhou family’s plans’ progress, at least there had been no incident.

Otherwise, if the Central Guards Brigade traced this matter to be related to the Zhou family, the consequences would be immeasurable.

“Boss Zhou, don’t hurry, give me some time, I’ll handle this matter well.”

“Then I’ll head back first, if there’s anything else, we can discuss it over the phone.”

“Alright.”

Li Zhenquan now, couldn’t wait for Zhou Guangyao to leave quickly so that he could take time to deeply ponder this matter.

After Zhou Guangyao left, Li Zhenquan briefly saw him off, then returned to the reception room.

The current problem was, his people had been captured, making it quite easy to expose his own information.

If that happened, the Central Guard’s spearhead would directly point at him!

Everything would be ruined.

He had to figure out a way to resolve this problem!

Ring, ring, ring—

Just as he was overwhelmed, Li Zhenquan’s phone rang.

Seeing who was calling, his expression suddenly became serious.

“Mr. Evans.”

“Has your transaction been completed?”

Li Zhenquan’s body froze, as if a sharp blade hung above his head, ready to fall at any moment.

“There were some issues.”

“Issues? Did the Central Guard’s people notice it?”

“Yes, after the transaction was completed, the people and the goods, all were taken by Central Guard’s people.”

“Li Zhenquan, are you incompetent!”

Even though Li Zhenquan and Fang Dezhong were both leaders of Hongmen, Evans treated them quite differently.

Fang Dezhong was a deputy supervisor of the Freemasons, even though it was an honorary position, his rank was above that of the Grand Warden.

But Li Zhenquan was different.

He was newly appointed, so he held the honorary position of Grand Warden without real power at headquarters, otherwise Evans wouldn’t dare to speak to him like this.

“I’m sorry, Grand Warden, this was my negligence.”

“I don’t want to hear these excuses,” Evans said,

“Where did their people go, have you tracked their whereabouts?”
