Chapter 2948: Chapter 2948: An Unexpected Move

After arranging things for the others, Lin Yi headed to Liu Hong’s office.

"How are your injuries? Missions are fixed, but people are alive. Although it’s your turn this time, adjustments can still be made."

"It’s not a big issue, just superficial wounds."

Seeing Lin Yi looking quite healthy, Liu Hong felt reassured.

"I’ve already sent people to Zhong Hai. The investigation is still ongoing, but results should be coming soon."

"It’s the same whether we investigate or not. I’ve already guessed it’s the Gongyuan Association’s doing, because they have a strong motive."

"That’s true, but such a big incident must be thoroughly investigated." Liu Hong said:

"Also, this incident serves as a reminder that they might appear in unexpected ways to retaliate."

"I definitely didn’t expect that," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"They even set a fire."

"That’s why we can never underestimate the Gongyuan Association at any time, not just them but also other organizations."

"I understand this." Lin Yi said:

"The data retrieved from the two nest points should be sorted out by now, is there anything useful?"

"Most of it is useless, but the research institute’s experimental data is very helpful. Otherwise, the ore research might have been delayed."

Lin Yi nodded and asked:

"Are there any new instructions for this island operation, or are we sticking to the original plan?"

"Yes."

Liu Hong took out a cigarette and handed one to Lin Yi.

"I don’t smoke, you already know that."

"Stop messing with me."

Lin Yi smiled and accepted the cigarette, Liu Hong proactively lit it for him.

"Director Liu took the effort to light me up, probably has something to say."

Liu Hong took a puff and exhaled thick white smoke.

"This time, Group 1’s mission is to cooperate with Group 7 to collect experimental data."

"Hmm?"

Lin Yi’s expression changed, "What do you mean? You want Chen Zhiyi to join me on the island?"

"Don’t get so worked up, it wasn’t my decision," Liu Hong shrugged, "It was Elder Lu and Elder Liang’s idea."

"I’ll go chat with them."

"Talking to them won’t help." Liu Hong said:

"They pondered this for quite a while and decided last night, so don’t overthink it and follow orders."

Lin Yi kept a grim face and said nothing, Liu Hong patted his shoulder and said:

"It’s a special time. If we can’t progress quickly with the research project, we won’t withstand the coming storm. You’re sensible, you should understand."

"Let me be clear, her safety is her responsibility, her life or death has nothing to do with me."

"No problem, I’ve already discussed these with her beforehand."

Lin Yi nodded and didn’t continue this topic.

"When do you plan to leave?" Liu Hong asked.

"Tomorrow, it’s already afternoon, leaving today doesn’t make sense."

"Alright, handle the subsequent arrangements." Liu Hong said:

"But keep an eye on your injuries, don’t push yourself."

"Rest assured, I’m afraid of dying, can’t risk my life for just that tiny bit of salary."

"Huh."

After chatting with Liu Hong for a while, Lin Yi left.

But soon after Lin Yi left, Chen Zhiyi came.

"Director Liu, did Team Leader Lin agree?"

"Although he has a bad temper, he’ll follow orders." Liu Hong said:

"But one thing, I must remind you to protect yourself as much as possible. It’s dangerous on the island; regardless of Group 1 or Yanlong Team, self-preservation is difficult."

Bang—

Liu Hong lit a cigarette, "The few people in Group 1 are dear to him. If something happens, he might leave the Central Guards Brigade."

"I understand."

...

Coming out of Liu Hong’s office, Lin Yi went to the training room.

He found that the others from Group 1 were also there.

At this moment, Shao Jianfeng was sitting in a chair, having just gotten a haircut from Ning Che.

His current hairstyle is identical to Lin Yi’s.

With both having similar builds, it’s hard to tell them apart from behind.

"How does it feel?" Ning Che asked.

"Interesting, go on, let me see how it turns out."

"I promise you’ll be satisfied."

Lin Yi sat aside while the three women from Group 1 helped out, learning makeup skills from Ning Che.

"Boss, are you trying to make Jianfeng your stand-in?"

Lin Yi nodded, "When we get on the island, let him stay in the safety zone, so that Gongyuan Association people think I’m injured and unable to participate, only directing from afar."

After hearing Lin Yi’s plan, the people in Group 1 suddenly understood.

Without Lin Yi, Group 1’s combat power would drastically drop, less than 50% capability.

If known that he’s at the rear, organizations like Gongyuan and Mammon who are enemies of Central Guard would exploit the opportunity.

Thus, it’s a chance to catch them off guard.

Why couldn’t I think of such a clever idea?

Ning Che’s makeup skills are the best in the Central Guard, he finished the task in less than an hour.

Although details still have slight discrepancies, Jianfeng now resembles Lin Yi about 70%.

"Your facial structures are different, this is as much as I can do."

"I think it’s not bad." Qiu Yuluo said:

"If Jianfeng remains hidden and doesn’t show his front, it might mislead others."

"That’s the desired effect."

"There’s a bit of resemblance, but I feel something’s missing." Xiao Bing crossed her arms.

"What’s missing?" Shao Jianfeng said, "I think it’s handsome."

"How to say, it’s merely resembling in form." Xiao Bing nudged Luo Qi, "Qi Qi, what do you think?"

"Indeed, just a semblance, lacking in aura." Luo Qi seriously said:

"If Lin Bro is a wolf, Brother Feng is a mongrel dog; too big of a difference."

"I’ll kill you, who’s a mongrel dog? You’re all mongrel dogs."

"Hahaha..."

The training room echoed with laughter.

"Alright, stop laughing, follow Team Leader Ning and learn well, it’s up to you on the island." Lin Yi said.

"Got it."

After a few instructions, Lin Yi left the training room and headed to the research institute behind.

He found the leader of the Eighth Team, Li Junchao.

"Brother Li, what’s the situation now?"

"What’s certain is the ore can affect gene sequences, but the specific impact is unknown. Thus, live experiments are imperative."

Li Junchao said:

"You were a doctor before, your expertise is acknowledged. This time, hope is placed on you and Team Leader Chen as you go on the island together."
