Chapter 2863: Chapter 2863: Investigation into Chen Shengli
"Too slow, itās not going to work."
"Unlike your place, we donāt have many alternative routes here. Private aircraft routes must be applied for in advance. Two hours is already my limit."
"Alright, Iāll think of something myself."
"No need. Iāll have a driver pick you up. First, head to the airport. Iāll arrange a seat for you on a regular flight; it shouldnāt be a problem. Prepare yourself and wait for my message."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi instructed the captain to turn back.
However, those female celebrities hadnāt had enough fun yet. After all, meeting a handsome and wealthy bigwig like Lin Yi isnāt a common occurrence.
On the way to the airport, Lin Yiās face was heavy, and he remained silent.
Liu Hongās call hinted at the Central Guards Brigade beginning to suspect Chen Shengli.
Lin Yi couldnāt determine if there was a real problem with Chen Shengli.
But based on his personal feelings, he preferred to believe there was another reason.
In less than an hour, Lin Yi arrived at the airport.
Lee Yongjin, with her extensive connections, managed to secure Lin Yi a first-class cabin, saving a lot of time.
About eighty minutes later, the plane landed at the airport.
Ning Che was waiting for Lin Yi, driving there.
"With such a big issue happening, why are you still here?"
"Boss Liu called me and explained the situation. I guessed he would also call you, so I checked the details and came to pick you up. Letās attend the meeting together."
"Do we have specific leads? Given Brother Chenās character, he shouldnāt do such a thing."
"From a personal standpoint, I donāt want to believe itās true either. But we are all in this circle, facing countless temptations every day. I can only guarantee you and Yuluo will never betray, but I canāt speak for others."
Lin Yi nodded silently and said:
"Did the Brigade issue new instructions?"
"Elder Liang is holding a meeting and might bring in help to investigate the matter."
"Help?"
"From the police department. I hear they will be consulting criminal investigation experts, but I donāt know the specifics."
"Step on it."
Ning Che put the pedal to the metal, running a red light, heading towards the base.
Back at the base, the two immediately went to the conference room.
Several group leaders from the Central Guards Brigade, along with other leaders, were already there.
Liang Xianghe was absent, and the meeting was led by Liang Xianghe.
"Now that everyone is here, the meeting officially begins," Liang Xianghe said:
"Before we start, have any of you noticed anything unusual about Chen Shengli? Did his involvement in the experiment go beyond his authority?"
Due to the investigation of the mysterious statue and Crystal Stone, Groups Five to Eight have always been responsible, with clear divisions of work. Without Liang Xiangheās permission, each group only researches their assigned section. Cross-group cooperation requires an approved application.
If someone secretly violates rules and inquires about other groupsā research, they break the rules of the Central Guards Brigade, and consequences are severe.
"No, our daily interactions are trivial matters, and he hasnāt inquired about our research," said Ma Hongye, Group Sixās leader.
Group Eightās leader Li Junchao and Group Fiveās leader Zhou Jinpeng nodded, expressing their stance.
"If thatās the case, self-theft seems unlikely," Liu Hong said:
"His data is incomplete and lacks research value."
"But we canāt rule out the possibility that he secretly accessed this data."
"Bangā"
Lighting a cigarette, Liang Xianghe said:
"Also, donāt forget each groupās distinct nature. Each groupās research fields and directions differ. Typically, this work should be carried out by the Seven Group led by Chen Shengli. But due to the heavy workload, it was split among other groups, giving him a leading role, which cannot be ignored."
Though Liang Xianghe is older, his warrior spirit forged in battle hasnāt altered.
Heād rather eliminate a thousand wrongs than let such incidents occur.
The room grew silent.
As the atmosphere reached stagnation, Lin Yi spoke up.
"But this matter came too suddenly," Lin Yi said:
"If he was truly bought off, he wouldnāt likely reveal his whereabouts before things blew up."
"Yet, who in this room can guarantee he hasnāt acquired the complete data?" Liang Xianghe said:
"Leaving before things blew up could mean another possibility: he secured what he wanted, then moved it to a safe location."
What Liang Xianghe suggested was another possibility; Lin Yi had no evidence, and most analyses were subjective, so he didnāt oppose.
"Letās check his home first; perhaps some clues were left behind," Lin Yi said:
"Iāll go with Ning Che. You continue the meeting. If there are leads, Iāll call you immediately."
Only Lin Yi dared speak like this in such a setting.
It stemmed from his own capabilities and his identity.
As Liang Xiangheās grandson-in-law, such privilege was granted.
Liang Xianghe checked the time and said:
"Iāve dispatched several criminal investigation experts from other departments; they should also be heading towards his home. You can coordinate to quickly find the clues."
"Understood."
After greeting, Lin Yi and Ning Che left the conference room and got in the car.
"You still donāt want to believe Brother Chen would betray, do you?" Ning Che said.
"Itās not about what I believe. If he really did betray us, I would definitely kill him." Lin Yi said:
"But I donāt want such a thing to happen."
"But you can see Elder Liang seems really angry."
"Of course, Groups Five to Eight are under his oversight. Such an issue coming up, where does it leave his reputation?"
"But Elder Liang really exudes an intimidating aura," Ning Che smiled:
"In theory, Boss Liu and he are equals, but their aura is entirely different."
"They canāt even be compared. His achievements are battle-earned, and heās only retired now, taking over the Central Guards Brigadeās task. If not for retirement, Boss Liu might even need to salute him."
Ning Che bent over in laughter, "Elder Liang indeed has the ability."
About thirty minutes later, Lin Yi drove to Chen Shengliās home. Police cars were parked downstairs, blocked off by caution tape.
"Seems the police have arrived. Letās go up and have a look to prevent overcrowding from disrupting the scene."
