Chapter 2871: Chapter 2871: A Person Worthy of Respect

After stopping, the two of them decided to keep their distance.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, with only Lin Yi’s beast-like panting breaking the silence.

Right now, Lin Yi was in a rather sorry state.

His clothes were torn, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and bruises covered his hands.

The man in black remained still and silent.

But Lin Yi knew that by ceasing first, he had proved his own victory.

However, there was an element of luck.

If he hadn’t gained D-level power, defeating the man in black would have been unlikely.

But given the man in black’s ability, who would win or lose the next encounter was uncertain.

Raising his clothes, Lin Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said:

"Lead the way. I guarantee on my honor that you can leave here alive."

The man in black appeared to be catching his breath as well.

However, soon after, he got into the vehicle.

The rest waited for Lin Yi’s cue, ready to follow his next orders.

"Everyone, get in the car."

Lin Yi instructed and got into the car, but Ning Che pushed him to the passenger seat; she was at the wheel.

"What’s the situation? It doesn’t seem too big of an issue."

"Damn, not too big of an issue?" Lin Yi said through clenched teeth as he reclined in the seat.

"It was insanely rough, almost got myself killed."

Ning Che noticed as Lin Yi removed his shirt that bruises covered him.

Seeing him beaten this badly was a testament to the ferocity of his opponent.

Ning Che reached into the glove box and found half a bottle of cream leftover.

"Old Chinese medicine, good for bruises, let’s apply some first."

Lin Yi took the cream and applied a generous amount over his body.

"From the way you’ve been beaten, I bet he’s not any better off, possibly even worse since he gave up."

"That guy’s a total psycho, can’t think about him in a normal way," Lin Yi said.

"Sure, I won this time, but next time it could be me who loses."

"But the question is, can he improve as quickly as you do?"

"He can, he’s stronger and more twisted than you think," Lin Yi said.

"How many times have you faced off against him?"

"I’ve lost track," Lin Yi said.

"From our first encounter to now, it’s been years, initially I wasn’t his match. Fortunately, my skills improved, and we’ve both had wins and losses."

"I’m curious why he wears a mask," Ning Che said.

"Members of Mammon don’t seem to have that habit."

"I once heard Song Jinmin mention this," Lin Yi said:

"In Mammon, there’s a Demon Plan, aiming to train a hundred people like him, and these hundred might all wear masks."

"Damn!"

Ning Che said excitedly:

"If a hundred people as deranged as him emerge, the whole world belongs to them."

"Don’t be so tense, others shouldn’t be as formidable," Lin Yi said:

"His code name is Zero; he’s the strongest among them."

"That’s somewhat acceptable," Ning Che said:

"What’s your evaluation of him?"

"A remarkable person, worthy of respect."

"Just having him drive upfront alone speaks volumes about him."

"Sigh..."

Lin Yi sighed.

"It’s a pity he’s not with our Central Guards Brigade, born in the wrong place."

"If Boss Liu heard you say that, he’d definitely kick you."

"Haha..."

After about thirty minutes of driving, they reached beyond the Sixth Ring Road.

Compared to the city center, traffic here wasn’t as thick, leaving a serene vibe.

Lin Yi looked up and glanced outside, spotting a three-story villa,

surrounded by camphor trees, filling the air with a faint fragrance.

In the outdoor parking, several luxury cars were parked, the cheapest worth millions, some even at tens of millions level.

"His car’s parked here, so this should be the place."

"Drive ahead, find a secluded spot to park. Our cars draw too much attention here."

"Okay."

Ning Che drove the car into a distant alley.

The Central Guards Brigade and Li Zheng followed suit, making their way there.

The man in black was smart, not lingering around.

After the car was parked, everyone got out one by one, but the man in black stayed seated.

Lin Yi approached the man in black, crouched by his window, and gazed at the distant villa.

"Is the person inside?"

The man in black nodded in response.

"Originally, I intended to find someone to escort you out, but, given your skills, nobody could stop you. You should leave by yourself; no one will obstruct you on the way."

The man in black started the car again, showing Lin Yi his response in action.

"Don’t hurry."

Lin Yi rummaged through his pocket, tossing his leftover cream into the man in black’s car.

"Take it, it’s quite effective."

Sitting in silence a while at the sight of the cream on the passenger seat, the man in black eventually drove off.

Lin Yi watched him leave, only looking back at the group after the taillights disappeared.

"Brother Li, help check what that villa is for and station people within a kilometer perimeter. Block roads if necessary and pull nearby surveillance back from Chen Shengli’s disappearance day. See if any suspicious people entered."

"Blocking roads..." Li Zheng hesitated, "seems a bit tricky, requires authorization."

"Just mention Liang Xianghe to your leader, they’ll know what to do."

Liang Xianghe!

Though Liang Xianghe led the Central Guards Brigade, he wasn’t too mysterious, occasionally appearing in the news.

So both Li Zheng and Zhang Xu knew of him!

To think they’d mention such a high-profile figure!

How formidable you must be!

"I’ll notify them now," Li Zheng said.

"Anything else you need from me?"

"That’s all for now."

Lin Yi turned to the Central Guards Brigade and said:

"Siying, take Chaoyue and check nearby for other exits, be thorough."

"Understood!"

With that, Yu Siying took Zhang Chaoyue and quietly approached the villa.

With tasks assigned, Lin Yi and others entered a silent state.

Understanding the villa’s purpose was essential for further action.

But Lin Yi was sure this villa was their hideout.

Mammon’s intelligence abilities were not to be underestimated.

About twenty minutes later, Li Zheng’s phone rang; after a brief exchange, he hung up.

"It’s clear now, the villa is a red wine club, usually hosting mostly foreign guests, but also numerous high-end domestic clients."

"A red wine club..."

Lin Yi murmured to himself, an infiltration plan gradually forming in his mind.
