After coming out of the canteen, the five of them returned to the combat command room one after another.
Then, Lin Yi video-called Liu Hong.
“You’re all back, right?” Liu Hong said in the video.
Lin Yi nodded in response.
“The person called Chen Canrong has almost been completely investigated.” Liu Hong said.
“He’s the deputy general manager of Shianggang Jiaxin Group, and this Jiaxin Group is inextricably linked to Hongmen. Our previous guess was right. The mastermind of this operation should be from Hongmen.”
“Boss, can you be more specific? Why are there so many connections?”
“On the surface, this Jiaxin Group, whether it’s the higher-ups or the company’s legal entities, has nothing to do with Hongmen. Its size can only be ranked in the top ten in Shianggang. It’s not as dazzling as you might think.”
“We also found out about the closure between this corporation and Hongmen through the special channels of the Central Guards Brigade.”
“What about the person called Wenli?” Qiu Yuluo asked. “If I remember correctly, her full name is Shen Wenli.”
“There’s not much news about this woman. She’s from Lion Land, but she came to Shianggang five years ago. However, for a while, she served as Fang Shihong’s bodyguard. This is all the information we have on her.”
“Fang Shihong…” Qiu Yuluo muttered. “He should be the leader of Hongmen, Fang Dezong’s son.”
“Yes. Other than that, I also checked the information of other organizations.” Liu Hong said.
“The leader of Sun Yee On has a son and two daughters, but his oldest son is in his late forties and has put on weight. He doesn’t match your description.”
“The leader of 14K has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son is 26 years old this year and has been living in Meiguo. There are no signs of him coming back recently. The girls are 16 years old this year, so the profile doesn’t match.”
Liu Hong paused for a moment. “Based on the information you described, the person commanding in the video should be Fang Shihong. Besides him, there are Chen Canrong and Shen Wenli. Their identities all point to Hongmen, so it must be Fang Shihong.”
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che exchanged glances, fully understanding the implications of Liu Hong’s words.
If Lin Yi were to take action, he wouldn’t leave any of them alive. Only one side completely falling would bring an end to this.
If the information were not accurate, it would result in wrongful killings. Boss Liu surely knew this as well.
In other words, Boss Liu was certain that this matter was Fang Shihong’s doing!
“Is there any other news?” Lin Yi asked, his face dark.
“What other news are you referring to?”
“Now we can confirm that Fang Shihong is the one who took action. But the developer of the C-class serum is certainly not them. Have we found anything on that?”
“Not yet,” Liu Hong said with a bitter smile.
“Even getting this bit of information about Hongmen took a lot of effort. Finding the developer of the C-class serum with the current information is almost impossible.”
Tap, tap, tap…
Lin Yi’s fingers drummed on the table. The Central Guards Brigade’s intelligence gathering was top-notch.
The fact that they hadn’t found any information indicated that the opponent’s strength was not just above the Central Guards Brigade’s, but totally overwhelming.
This was not a good sign.
“There were quite a few of their people who died on the Victoria. Do we have all the information on the deceased?” Qiu Yuluo asked.
“The bodies on the ship were handled by the police from both Shianggang and Sunrise Land. There are no issues on the Shianggang side, but the Sunrise Land police haven’t released any information on the deceased and have been very resistant to our involvement. We haven’t received any news from them.”
“Someone might be lying,” Ning Che said.
“If there was no external interference, the Sunrise Land police wouldn’t likely have this attitude. After all, they even dispatched their coast guard to help.”
Everyone nodded. The organization intervening behind the scenes was very likely the developer of the C-class serum!
“For now, we’ll leave it at that. I’ll handle the issues in Shianggang first, and we’ll deal with the rest later.”
“Alright. I’ve already notified Team 1, and everyone is gathering. Little Qiu and the others will provide information support in Zhonghai.”
After speaking, Liu Hong paused. “Don’t overdo it and cause an uncontrollable situation.”
“I know what I’m doing.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi turned on his phone and looked at the map for a while.
It was only when Ning Che spoke that his train of thought was interrupted.
“What are you looking at? Team 1 will split up and go with you. When are you going to set off?”
“Now, but not straight to Shianggang.” Lin Yi said.
“The Hong family is quite influential in Shianggang, and they’re very cautious. They might have spies at the airport.”
“What do you think?”
“We’ll fly to Aomen first, then take the Guangdong-Shianggang-Aomen Bridge. It’s a little slow, but it’s safer,” Lin Yi said.
“Help me inform Team 1 to infiltrate Shianggang via the Guangdong-Shianggang-Aomen Bridge and Pengcheng Bridge respectively. Don’t expose your any information.”
“Other than that, what else do you need us to do?”
Lin Yi was silent for a moment. “How did we deal with such a huge incident on the Victoria?”
“I’ll call and ask.” After Qiu Yuluo finished speaking, she took out her phone and called Liu Hong. After understanding the situation concisely, Qiu Yuluo said,
“Ever since the incident, the Western countries have been harping on this matter. It has already evolved into an international incident. However, the Shianggang and Aomen Affairs Office is in charge of the specific matters. I heard that it’s almost settled and they’re preparing to come back.”
“Tell them to stay for a few days and increase the investigation.”
“Is this a smokescreen?” Ning Che asked.
“The Shianggang and Aomen Offices and the Central Guards Brigade are two different organizations,” Lin Yi said.
“If the Shianggang and Aomen office is in charge of this matter, it will make the other party think that the country’s attention is all on the cruise ship and they won’t take note of other things that are happening. That way, they will let down their guard.”
“I understand what you mean,” Ning Che said.
Lin Yi’s thoughts were not difficult to understand.
Now, as long as the Central Guards Brigade did not enter Shianggang, the people from Hongmen would not think that they had already become the Central Guards Brigade’s target and that they were still safe.
This would make their next steps easy.
“That’s about it. If there’s anything else, we’ll contact each other on the phone. I’ll leave first.”
“I’ll arrange for someone to meet you in Aomen.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yi stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
The remaining four looked at Lin Yi’s back as he left, and an ominous feeling rose in their hearts.
It wouldn’t be long before Hongmen’s blood dyed Victoria Harbor red.
