Chapter 3972: Chapter 3960: First to the Prize

Lin Yi started the car, following Zhu Xiaojun’s car from behind.

Finally, the car stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel. Zhu Xiaojun, with a lecherous expression, supported the woman’s waist and walked into the hotel.

"Let’s go, follow me upstairs," Lin Yi said, unbuckling his seatbelt.

"Huh? Are you really taking me up there?"

"What else? Leave you here so you can escape and betray us?"

Li Shouxiu remained silent because that was exactly his plan.

"Don’t entertain unrealistic fantasies. Even if you run away, the outcome will be the same, and perhaps even worse."

Lin Yi’s threat carried no emotional fluctuations, but to Li Shouxiu, it sounded like a whisper from a demon.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.

They happened to see Zhu Junxiu waiting for the elevator, pretending to look dignified, when in reality he was half a head shorter than the woman beside him.

Lin Yi quickened his pace appropriately and stood behind Zhu Xiaojun, acting naturally without being noticed.

Though Li Shouxiu was also his employee, due to his low rank, there were no interactions usually, so even when standing behind him, he was not recognized.

Soon, the elevator arrived, and all four walked in one after the other.

To avoid suspicion, Lin Yi stood at the door, while Zhu Xiaojun and the woman stood behind him.

Lin Yi was about to press the elevator button when he noticed the woman pressing the 17th floor, so he withdrew his hand, pretending to go to the same floor as them.

Before long, the elevator reached the 17th floor.

Lin Yi was the first to walk out, taking out his phone and slowing his pace, pretending to send a message.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaojun and the woman beside him walked past him.

Lin Yi glanced up and saw them stopping at the door of room 1727.

"Are you going inside to find them?" Li Shouxiu asked cautiously.

"What else? Stay outside and eavesdrop?"

"No, no, I didn’t mean that. I just think it’s really dangerous."

"Where was your boldness when you wanted to avenge me? Why are you now as cowardly as a turtle?"

Ignoring Li Shouxiu, Lin Yi quickly walked to the door of room 1727 and knocked.

"Who is it?" The woman asked.

"The hotel staff, here to bring you fresh towels."

"Wait a moment."

Soon, the sound of the door unlocking could be heard, and the door opened.

Lin Yi immediately covered the woman’s mouth and entered the room. Her eyes widened in fear, and Li Shouxiu followed closely behind.

Realizing something was wrong, Zhu Xiaojun also walked over.

"What’s going on... who are you!"

Just after speaking, Lin Yi’s knife was thrown and pierced the floor beneath Zhu Xiaojun’s feet.

Lin Yi delivered a hand chop, knocking the woman unconscious, and leisurely walked to Zhu Xiaojun.

The latter froze in place, scared into silence.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing much, I just want to ask you about some matters regarding the Jinshan Group."

Zhu Xiaojun’s expression changed suddenly, and his look at Lin Yi became strange.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Primarily, I want to understand the relationship between you and the Wuzhe Mountain Laboratory."

Lin Yi squinted his eyes, his expression cold, exuding a strong oppressive aura that made Zhu Xiaojun’s body tremble.

"Is the laboratory conducting some shady business?"

"I hope you don’t lie and cooperate well with me."

"I don’t know anything. Please don’t ask me anymore."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you know nothing?"

While speaking, Lin Yi took out a scalpel, and step by step walked towards Zhu Xiaojun, placing the blade on his face for a light cut. A ten-centimeter gash appeared on his face.

"Ah—!"

Zhu Xiaojun screamed in pain, collapsing onto the ground, while Li Shouxiu was dumbfounded.

No one expected this man to be so ruthless, showing no mercy to Zhu Xiaojun.

"My patience is limited. Are you going to talk or not?" Lin Yi said condescendingly.

"The laboratory is conducting some biological research and has recently intensified its efforts, but I don’t know the specifics. You have to believe me, I truly don’t know."

"Who is the person in charge of the laboratory?"

"It’s Zhao Renming; he’s responsible for everything."

"I need to meet this person. Help me get in touch and call him over."

"Okay, okay, okay, I’ll contact him right now."

Looking at the knife in Lin Yi’s hand, Zhu Xiaojun didn’t dare utter a single useless word, dialing Zhao Renming’s number.

But after several attempts, none of the calls connected.

"You know where he lives, right? Take me to find him."

"Okay, I’ll take you to find him."

Zhu Xiaojun put on his clothes, trembling as he followed Lin Yi out.

At that moment, the driver had already been dismissed. They went out and got into the van.

"You two, don’t be afraid. As long as you cooperate with me, you won’t be in danger; otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety," Lin Yi said.

"And don’t even think about calling the police; I have countless ways to find you. Not to mention, breaking your two legs is something I can certainly do."

The two shuddered, their spines chilled.

If someone else said such words, they might scoff, but this man was different; he could indeed carry out such actions.

"Un, understood..."

"Good, guide the way properly."

After about ten minutes, they arrived at a wealthy residential area, a much better environment than where Zhu Xiaojun lived.

"It’s this house."

Lin Yi craned his neck to look inside; it was pitch black, appearing as if everyone was asleep.

"Come on, let’s go down and take a look."

The three got out of the car. Zhu Xiaojun knocked on the door, but there was no response. He then tried ringing the doorbell, but still received no answer.

"Could it be he’s also out socializing?" Li Shouxiu wondered aloud.

"He’s not one to socialize, only attending necessary dinners. Even if he were on a business trip, his wife should be home; it’s unlikely there’s no movement at all."

Lin Yi said nothing and instead went to the window beside the door, peeking inside, and noticed something was off.

The room was somewhat messy, the living room coffee table overturned, and the sofa displaced, indicating something unusual.

Lin Yi took out his phone, turning on the flashlight to survey the situation inside, and surprisingly found a pool of blood on the floor!

"Damn! Move aside!"

Arriving at the door, Lin Yi used his knife to break the lock and entered the room.

They found the damage extended beyond the coffee table and sofa, with the dining table in the living room also overturned.

Lin Yi’s face darkened, suspecting a possibility.

It’s highly likely Zhao Renming was taken away by another group.
