Chapter 2996: The Fall Guy

Chapter 2996: Chapter 2996: The Fall Guy

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the conference room was a little surprised.

"Let me take a look," Liang Xianghe said.

Qiu Yuluo got up, connected her phone to the conference room’s computer, and projected it onto the big screen.

The main character of the video was a middle-aged man, with a well-proportioned figure and somewhat frizzy hair.

He wore a black mask on his face, exposing only a pair of weathered eyes, with deep wrinkles at the corners.

"Ninth Department, this is a lesson for you, don’t forget your responsibilities, or the next person to die won’t be Wagner."

The video was very short, but after watching it, the Central Guards Brigade members fell silent.

At such a moment, a video like this appearing felt strange no matter how you looked at it.

The Central Guard wouldn’t do something like this.

Anglo and the Gongyuan Association were even less likely.

So, the purpose behind releasing this video was quite intriguing.

But among these people, only one person’s expression was unusual.

Lin Yi’s mouth twitched; though others couldn’t recognize who was in the video, he identified them immediately.

Song Jinmin!

What on earth is this guy up to!

Completely out of character for him!

"This person is Song Jinmin, taking the blame," Lin Yi said.

Song Jinmin!

Upon hearing this name, aside from Liang Xianghe and Tao Cheng, the others’ expressions turned somewhat unnatural.

To everyone in the combat sequence,

this man stood at a height they could only aspire to, enough to make others look up to him.

The fact that he stood up to take responsibility was unexpected to everyone else.

"If it’s him, there’s no need to analyze this matter,"

Liang Xianghe said,

"That’s all for today’s meeting, let’s wrap it up."

Everyone got up one after another and left the conference room.

Meanwhile, at the Atlantis Hotel in the Middle East.

Song Jinmin took off his mask and turned back to look at Qin Yingyue.

"Sister-in-law, what I said just now was okay, right?"

"Pretty good,"

Qin Yingyue stood up. "I’m leaving first, go about your business."

With that, Qin Yingyue picked up her bag and left the hotel.

Song Jinmin tossed the mask on the ground.

"What the hell is this! Why do I have to take the blame!"

...

After leaving the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi, Ning Che, Qiu Yuluo, and Tao Cheng headed to the hospital together, intending to visit Liu Hong.

Ring ring ring—

Just as they were about to enter the ward, Lin Yi received a call from Qin Han.

"Quickly, think of a way, get me back."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Qin Han’s words, Lin Yi was a bit puzzled.

"What’s wrong?"

"I came to Bulage for vacation, just arrived for a day, and damn it, the whole city of punks is chasing me. I don’t even dare to go out now."

"Uh..."

Lin Yi felt a bit awkward; is it just a coincidence?

"Give me your address, I’ll contact someone official to pick you up."

"Crap, hurry up; if you’re late, I’ll probably be hacked to death."

"Uhh..." Lin Yi reassured with a smile,

"No, no, don’t worry."

After hanging up Qin Han’s call, Lin Yi scratched his head and then arranged for someone to handle the matter.

He also wondered whether he should switch identities in the future.

After hanging up Qin Han’s call, Lin Yi returned to the ward.

At Liu Hong’s level, he enjoyed the treatment of a private room.

But since his injuries had stabilized and only needed a slow recovery, aside from the Central Guards Brigade members, only his wife was present in the ward.

"Boss Liu, how’s it going?" Lin Yi asked cheerfully once inside.

"Luckily I reacted quickly, or else that shot would have killed you," Liu Hong retorted.

"Thanks for saving my life, Boss Liu; I’ll repay you in any way possible."

"Stop talking nonsense; your sister-in-law is not an outsider and knows what we’re up to, so no need for hollow words."

Lin Yi gave Liu Hong’s wife an awkward smile.

"Sorry for making you worry, sister-in-law."

"I understand, don’t worry."

Liu Hong’s wife placed the washed fruits on the cabinet beside them.

"You all chat; I’ll go buy some food, let’s have some lunch here."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Liu Hong’s wife nodded and walked out of the ward.

"Quick, quick, take me out for a walk, I’m suffocating here."

Liu Hong tried to sit up on the bed and asked Ning Che to get a wheelchair.

"Are you sure you’re okay? Don’t tear open the wound again," Qiu Yuluo said.

"With Lin Yi doing my surgery, I’m confident about it, not a big deal."

"See, you all should be like Boss Liu and trust my skills; at worst, it’s just a matter of life or death, not a big deal."

"Damn!"

The Central Guards Brigade members were all brave, and gunshot wounds were no big deal for them. After helping Liu Hong down, they pushed him downstairs.

The military hospital was vast, and due to its special nature, the environment inside was excellent.

Many patients enjoyed walking around to get some fresh air.

Lin Yi’s appearance also caught the attention of many people.

Especially some young women, who couldn’t take their eyes off Lin Yi once they saw him.

It’s said that girls are shyer than boys, but in this aspect, they are bolder.

Unlike the young men, whose gazes at Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were evasive.

"Brother, look at that guy, he’s so handsome! And so manly."

The speaker was a long-haired girl, wearing tight black jeans and a pair of black boots.

Her legs were long and well-proportioned, without a trace of unnecessary fat.

Her slightly curled hair added a touch of sensual elegance.

Overall, her aura could rival that of Ning Che.

Beside her stood a slightly mature young man.

He wore blue trousers and black leather shoes, a white shirt, and had a Richard Miller watch on his wrist, exuding an air of nobility.

Beside him was an elderly woman in a blue patient gown, likely their grandmother or a similar family member.

Upon hearing his sister’s words, the young man glanced indifferently at Lin Yi.

"Just take a look; he already has a girlfriend."

"Doesn’t seem like it," the young woman said,

"Look at their positioning and expressions when they talk; it’s clearly just friends, definitely not a couple."

Seeing his sister intently staring at Lin Yi, the young man said flatly,

"Even if they’re not in a relationship, you should give up. These things require matching social statuses. No matter how good he looks, there’s no possibility between you two."

"What era is this? Still talking about social status? You guys are so rigid," the young woman complained.

"Precisely because of this era, it’s even more important," the young man replied.

"Looks will eventually grow tiresome. What’s truly important is the potential he holds and what kind of life he can provide. After all, we’re a prominent family. If you really find someone like him as a boyfriend, he will become a burden in the future."
