Chapter 2701 - 2702: Secret Infiltration

Chapter 2701: Chapter 2702: Secret Infiltration

The two shivered, looking at Lin Yi in terror.

"Y-you, don’t be impulsive, what are you trying to do?"

"I came to get some information from you, so you better behave and don’t gamble with your lives."

"Ah—"

In fear, Morini let out a scream and ran backward.

Lin Yi stayed silent but followed her, cautiously alert.

Although he had no intention to kill, if necessary, he wouldn’t spare the two of them either.

But before he could catch up with Morini, her voice came through.

"Don’t move!"

Morini was holding a long-barreled hunting rifle, aiming at Lin Yi’s head.

Seeing Lin Yi being daunted, Harvey, who was previously terrified, also gained some courage.

His face filled with murderous intent, desperately wishing to kill Lin Yi right now!

He picked up the knife and fork in his hand, glaringly moving towards Lin Yi!

"Damn you, how dare you hit me? I’ll kill you today!"

Though an extremist of the hawkish faction, he didn’t dare to stab Lin Yi directly with the dining knife.

He could only hold the knife and swing it towards Lin Yi!

"Heh..."

Lin Yi chuckled, finding this couple quite amusing.

Seeing Harvey’s punch coming, Lin Yi sidestepped easily, dodging it without effort.

The latter missed and was preparing to strike again!

But just then, Lin Yi’s fist was already in front of him!

Bang!

A seemingly gentle punch flipped Harvey over, blood at the corner of his mouth, grimacing in pain, unable to stand for quite a while.

"Bastard! Believe it or not, I’ll shoot you dead!"

Morini shouted angrily.

Even with a gun in her hand, she didn’t dare to shoot.

No matter where, for an ordinary civilian, pulling the trigger requires great courage, let alone for a woman.

"This broken thing, put it away and stop scaring people."

As he spoke, Lin Yi grabbed the barrel, snatched the gun from Morini’s hand, and turned it to aim at her head.

Thud!

Morini crumpled to the ground, not daring to move.

"Please, please don’t kill me..."

Lin Yi pulled over a chair, crossing his legs, and sat down.

"I’m not interested in killing you, just cooperate obediently."

Saying so, Lin Yi pointed the hunting rifle at Harvey’s head.

The latter was sweating profusely, fearing Lin Yi might accidentally shoot him with a shaky hand.

"W-what do you want to know?"

"Since when did you start researching telomere cells?"

"It was six years ago when we started researching."

"Six years ago..."

Lin Yi muttered, calculating the time. William began this research when he was planning to deal with Zhang Youfu.

The operation failed back then, and they didn’t bring the statue back.

"When did you start collaborating with the Degeradlon Research Institute?"

Harvey was a little surprised, not expecting Lin Yi to even know about this matter.

"It was three years ago. We specialized in studying the growth and decay of telomere cells."

"As a private research facility, why do you have ties with an official research institute?"

"I-I don’t know, we’re just collaborating on research without knowing anything else."

"Don’t know..."

Lin Yi paused, not pressing him further.

After all, he’s just a research group leader, and his knowledge must be limited.

"Where is the recent statue you’ve been researching?"

"In the research institute’s safe."

"Is it located underground?"

"Y-yes."

Lin Yi disengaged the gun’s safety and pressed the muzzle against Harvey’s head.

"I need the access card and the key."

Originally, Harvey wanted to struggle a bit, but with the gun pointed at his head, he dared not play any tricks.

"I-in my coat pocket..."

Lin Yi’s gaze turned to Morini, "You go get it."

She cautiously shuffled over to the coat stand and retrieved the access card and key.

"What’s the safe’s combination?"

"I-I don’t know," Harvey stammered. "Only Marshall knows the combination in the entire research institute."

"You should know the consequences of lying."

"I-I’m really not lying, I really don’t know the combination."

Seeing Harvey’s terrified expression, Lin Yi was sure he wasn’t lying because of his limited status.

Wanting to get what he needed, Lin Yi put the gun aside and took out a syringe and a box of medicine from his pocket.

"W-what do you intend to do?"

Lin Yi’s actions almost scared Harvey and Morini into wetting themselves.

Endless terror spread in their hearts.

"I want you to be quiet for a while, so it’s best not to move."

After preparing the medication, Lin Yi drew it into the syringe.

Grabbing Harvey’s arm, he injected two milliliters of the unknown substance into his vein.

The remaining half went to Morini.

In under five minutes, both lost consciousness, not reacting even when Lin Yi gave them a few kicks.

Upon leaving Harvey’s house, Lin Yi returned to the car and dialed Yu Siying’s number.

"How are things on your end?"

"A lot of strangers have come to William’s house, probably all influential people," Yu Siying said,

"Because of yesterday’s attack, he might be making some moves."

"Withdraw first, meet at the lab, the statue is at the lab."

"Roger that!"

After hanging up Yu Siying’s call, they drove towards the lab, rendezvousing after fifteen minutes.

"Is the plane ready for pickup?"

"It’s ready, requisitioned as a private plane under Qin Han’s name, and the flight path has been secured."

"Good." Lin Yi nodded:

"I’ll go in to get the item, you keep an eye outside."

"Understood!"

With their tasks arranged, Lin Yi looked around and quietly headed towards the lab.

The outer windows posed no significant obstacle for Lin Yi, opened with just a slight nudge.

Rather than easy, it was better described as being prepared.

Before coming to the U.S., Lin Yi had already suspected the research institute and William’s house as key targets.

After sneaking in and spending days probing and observing, he had checked every place except the basement, tampering with many spots for easy access later.

Lin Yi chose to sneak in here because it had the least surveillance, only two cameras.

Besides, during previous work, he secretly adjusted the angles, creating a blind spot in the surveillance. As long as he was careful, he wouldn’t be discovered.

In the darkness, Lin Yi’s gaze was grim, muttering to himself:

"Having waited so many days, it’s finally time to act."
