Chapter 3177: Chapter 3169: The Difference Between Tigers and Ants
Lin Yi squinted his eyes.
He never expected that a routine mission would lead to such a revelation.
With a grim expression, he pulled out his phone and obtained a suspect’s photo.
"See if it’s this person."
Upon seeing the photo on the phone, Toya looked troubled.
"Team Leader Lin, I don’t have much authority within the organization, and I’m not qualified to handle such matters. I don’t know what the person looks like, but I can make a call to inquire.
Lin Yi nodded, "Go now, and be quick about it."
"Okay, okay."
Hastily agreeing, Toya took a picture with his phone and emailed it to the organization’s boss.
After a few minutes, Toya ended the call.
"Team Leader Lin, it’s been confirmed. It is this person."
Upon receiving a definitive answer, Lin Yi’s expression grew even more somber.
"Do you know where this organization called Alim is?"
"Alim’s base is quite far from here, about 600 kilometers away, but the Bant Guard is closer."
"Don’t worry about them, let’s find this Alim’s organization first."
"Okay, okay, I’ll arrange the car and bring someone along to go with you."
"No need for so many people, you can come with me."
"We’re heading to Alim’s base, just the two of us, isn’t that risky..."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at him, "Do you think I can’t handle them?"
"No, no, no, that’s not what I meant, it’s just that I’m worried about your safety, Team Leader Lin."
"You don’t need to worry about these things, just get the car ready."
"Yes, yes, I’ll arrange it right away."
Toya acted quickly and had everything arranged within a few minutes.
But accompanying them was also their leader Xiyade.
He was familiar with the local terrain and was responsible for driving.
"Boss, who exactly is this Yan Country person? We don’t know anything about him even now."
While the pair got ready, Xiyade whispered.
"I can’t quite describe his status abroad," Toya said:
"But if you compare him to a tiger, we’re like ants."
Xiyade’s heart pounded with anxiety.
He never imagined the gap between them would be this vast.
He never dreamed that robbing a cargo ship would encounter such a person.
Isn’t this simply courting death?
Once ready, Lin Yi came out, and the three of them got into the car, heading towards Alim’s base.
The entire time, Lin Yi’s mind was occupied with thoughts of the matter.
In this case, the other party’s arrangement was meticulous, leaving almost no cracks.
Trying to find the intermediary based on the portrait, this matter could easily turn into a cold case, leaving him with no choice but to use the most primitive method to investigate.
But now, an unexpected twist had occurred.
The person behind it probably never expected him to find this organization.
But whether he could uncover any clues depended on his luck.
The 600-kilometer journey wasn’t particularly long for Lin Yi.
However, the poor road conditions meant it took nearly seven hours to get there.
When the car finally stopped, a barren mountain loomed not far ahead.
You could faintly see people passing by occasionally.
Without a doubt, the people here must be from Alim’s organization.
Abroad, such organizations were like herring in a shoal, too numerous to count.
If it weren’t for the chance information, finding them on such short notice would be quite difficult.
"Team Leader Lin, this is their base," Toya pointed at the mountain ahead and said:
"The whole organization has about thirty people, and each one’s skills are quite good."
Lin Yi didn’t bother with this matter too much.
Even four carefully selected people barely held their own against a single team, and quite a few were counter-killed.
They didn’t pose a threat to him.
"You guys stay in the car. I’ll go myself."
The two didn’t argue with Lin Yi, considering they weren’t close, and the potential danger, there was no reason to accompany him.
Watching Lin Yi’s figure disappear from sight, Xiyade reversed the car a few dozen meters back into a safer area.
"Isn’t he being too bold? No matter how skilled he is, bullets should still be a threat."
"If that’s what you think, you’ll be a pirate for life," Toya said:
"People like him are formidable beyond imagination. Bullets aren’t as big a threat as you’d think."
"But I still can’t believe they can dodge bullets," Xiyade said, his expression exaggerated:
"From a physical standpoint, humans shouldn’t be capable of that."
"Of course, they can’t, but they can dodge," Toya said:
"Even if you fire at them face to face, they can dodge the bullets."
"There’s such a thing?!"
"That’s nothing. There’s someone even more formidable who can easily wipe out all the local pirates single-handedly."
Xiyade remained silent for a long time, only now realizing that the world wasn’t quite what he imagined.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi got out of the car, leisurely walking toward the mountain.
Though he appeared calm and composed, he was completely aware of his surroundings.
No movement around him escaped his eyes.
If anything unexpected happened, he could formulate a plan instantly to ensure his safety.
Not far in, Lin Yi noticed two people at the one o’clock direction on the hill, aiming guns at him.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three bullets hit the ground, landing about half a meter in front of Lin Yi’s feet, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lin Yi halted, not advancing further.
"Don’t move."
The people on the small hill shouted, jogging down while aiming their guns at Lin Yi.
"Who are you! What are you doing here?"
"I’m here to do business with you," Lin Yi said calmly:
"Please lead the way."
Seeing Lin Yi’s expression and demeanor, the two exchanged glances.
"Follow us."
As a member of the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi was familiar with the operations of overseas organizations, understanding how to interact with them.
Thus, his earlier words aroused no suspicion.
They assumed it was business coming their way.
With guns pointed at him, he walked with the two toward the mountain.
Seeing this, Xiyade looked stunned from a distance.
"He just walked in like that, he’s definitely going to be surrounded by Alim’s people."
"There shouldn’t be any issue," Toya said:
"With his status, he wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t sure about. We just have to wait here."
Meanwhile, once inside the mountain, Lin Yi noticed numerous caves and a few temporary structures built on the hillside.
Upon seeing an outsider, people began emerging one after another from the caves, each looking wary, as if ready to act at any moment.
"Wait here, I’ll go get the leader."
