Chapter 2956: Chapter 2956: Plunder Plan
After returning to the station, Luo Qi, who had been helping Chen Zhiyi organize materials, came up to them.
"Lin Bro, what happened?"
"Let’s talk inside."
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Luo Qi had a bad premonition.
Perhaps something big had happened.
Back inside the room, everyone gathered together.
Xiao Bing recounted what happened to Luo Qi and Chen Zhiyi.
The two were both extremely surprised after hearing it.
"Could it be that someone wants to frame us?"
"Looking at the current situation, it should be like that," Yu Siying said:
"But there are many doubts in this, the opponent’s methods are not clever."
"If they really wanted to frame, they shouldn’t do it in the security zone; they should wait until the Gongyuan Association goes on a mission again and then kill them. That would be better," Zhang Chaoyue said.
"That’s one of the doubts," Xiao Bing analyzed:
"I’ve always been puzzled about how they managed to mimic Lin Bro. Even with makeup and disguise, it shouldn’t be that similar."
"Could they have resorted to plastic surgery?" Luo Qi said.
"I think it’s unlikely," Zhao Yunhu analyzed:
"If the opponent intended to frame us, then this is a carefully planned conspiracy. Otherwise, they wouldn’t go to such lengths."
Pausing for a moment, Zhao Yunhu continued:
"But the fact that they killed in the security zone is full of holes and is not clever. These two points are contradictory."
Zhao Yunhu’s analysis captures the core contradiction of this incident.
Even Lin Yi couldn’t figure out who was secretly behind this.
And they used such a crude method.
Smart yet foolish.
"Boss, this issue is a bit complicated. It might not be resolved anytime soon. What should we do next?" Sui Qiang asked.
"Proceed with the normal plan, don’t worry about anything else."
...
The news of the Gongyuan Association’s members being killed spread worldwide within hours and drew attention from many forces.
Ingguo, Gongyuan Association Headquarters.
In the office, Chairman Hillor, dressed in a custom-made vintage suit and wearing reading glasses, was intensely focused on the newspaper before him.
Sunlight streamed in through the window slits, creating visible lines of light.
It filled the entire room with a sense of tranquility.
But Hillor’s expression wasn’t good, utterly serious.
Because they already knew about Schroeder’s defeat.
Before the action, he had warned them many times, yet problems still arose.
This made him keep a stern face all morning.
Knock, knock, knock—
Just then, urgent knocking broke the room’s silence.
"Come in," Hillor replied in a low voice.
The female secretary opened the door, looking flustered, and said:
"Mr. Chairman, something bad has happened—the operatives are all dead on the island."
"What did you say!"
Hillor stood up with a start, his facial wrinkles and muscles trembling with agitation.
"They had already retreated to the security zone, how could anything go wrong!"
"According to reports from the island, they were killed in the security zone."
"Killed in the security zone!"
Hillor’s face bore an expression of incredulity.
"Daring to kill in the security zone!"
Hillor’s expression was peculiar.
For so many years, the rule that no killing was allowed in the security zone had been ingrained in everyone.
And today, such an incident suddenly happened, leaving him somewhat struggling to adapt.
"Do we know who the culprit is?"
"I have a video here; they all suspect it was done by the Central Guards Brigade."
"Let me see it."
The secretary walked to the desk and handed over the phone.
Upon seeing the content of the video, Hillor’s face was expressionless.
The female secretary then pushed a photo of Lin Yi over for Hillor to compare.
"Indeed, it looks very similar."
Hillor made this assessment.
"He has done this twice in a row. I think we should no longer have any illusions about him."
"You may leave now."
The female secretary didn’t dare say more and turned to leave.
Hillor held the video and picture, studying them carefully for a while, then picked up the desk phone and made a call.
"Mr. K, something happened on the island."
Since Schroeder was an Anglo person, the handling of this matter had to be discussed with them.
"I know, the news has been seen."
"Do you think he did it?"
"This is an unsophisticated frame-up," the person referred to as Mr. K said:
"Behind him is the Central Guards Brigade, relevant rules and regulations wouldn’t allow him to do this, and he’s a smart person who wouldn’t do this in the security zone."
Hillor nodded; their thoughts were in agreement.
"But it gives us a more reasonable excuse to deal with the Central Guards Brigade."
"If that’s true, then it’s a trap set by the mastermind."
"But I still can’t think of who would do such a thing," Hillor said:
"If they wanted to sow discord between the two sides, their methods are full of holes."
"That’s also what I’m contemplating. Let’s put it aside for now and prioritize forming a new team; the island’s matters cannot be delayed."
"I’ll arrange for this matter soon," Hillor said:
"But the Central Guards Brigade’s recent maneuvers are very unusual; we must pay attention."
"You mean they’ve established a new base and captured a chimpanzee?"
"Yes."
"They’ve acquired Hymes Ore. I suspect they’ve entered the phase of biological research."
"So quickly!"
"Never underestimate the research capabilities of the Central Guards Brigade."
After a moment of silence, Hillor said:
"This is an opportunity we can exploit."
The middle-aged man on the other end showed interest, "What do you mean?"
"Although it’s unlikely that the Central Guards Brigade did this, having the video allows us to point the blame at them," Hillor said:
"According to the Tilia Convention, we can have the International Arbitration Organization handle this matter and take away their data, which is very advantageous for us."
After a pause, the middle-aged man said:
"They should have ore sample reagents. We can forgo other things, but the ore samples must be retrieved."
"I understand."
"Moreover, this matter should be handled quickly. Lin Yi is a cunning individual and might withdraw at any moment; don’t let him escape," the middle-aged man said:
"And with the arbitration organization, provide ample benefits, don’t provoke other incidents."
"I will handle this matter well," Hillor replied earnestly.
"Good, make the arrangements then."
"Alright."
