Chapter 1951: Walked Through the Ice and Snow
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Joey dead in front of him, Kenji Nakada was momentarily dazed.
The current situation exceeded his expectations.
After negotiating with Lin Yi, he had assumed the mission target would be at B-class 1at most.
With his abilities, he thought he could lead this operation.
However, after the recent events, Kenji Nakada realized he was terribly wrong.
Both of these opponents were at C-class!
Their abilities were a whole level above his!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to fight back even after being seriously injured!
Without Lin Yi’s help, it would have been a much tougher fight!
Instinctively, Kenji Nakada glanced at Lin Yi, already breathing heavily from the tension.
Only now did he realize that this Huaxian man named Lin Yi was far stronger and more ruthless than himself!
After a few seconds, Kenji Nakada regained his composure.
“What do we do next? Head to 1408?”
Lin Yi nodded. “Get a few skilled men with weapons and come with me.”
Saying this, Lin Yi pulled out a prepared mask to cover his face.
The surveillance footage indicated that the mastermind was in 1408.
The opponent likely knew who he was.
If he didn’t cover his face, he might be exposed immediately, which would be detrimental to their plan.
“Are we going to engage them?”
“Be ready to fight,” Lin Yi said seriously.
“Besides the skilled ones, have others prepared outside for support and prevention. Also, bring up the real Coast Guard officers from below to handle any unexpected situations.”
“Understood, I’ll notify them now!”
Kenji Nakada picked up a small walkie-talkie clipped to his collar and summoned everyone.
The entire process took less than two minutes, and over thirty Coast Guard officers were now stationed at the entrance to the 14th floor.
More were quickly making their way over.
“Mr. Lin, the personnel are deployed. The rest will arrive within five minutes. If there’s a next step, we can start now,” Kenji Nakada said.
Although his skills weren’t as sharp as Lin Yi’s, his combat awareness was impressive.
Otherwise, Caie Mitsui wouldn’t have sent him here.
“Good,” Lin Yi replied seriously.
“Tell everyone to follow my orders. If we engage, do not hold back. Leave no targets standing.”
“Got it!”
Kenji Nakada went out, gathered six men, and prepared to follow Lin Yi. The rest remained in their positions.
Lin Yi quickly assessed the group, noting that two were likely D-class and the remaining four were E-class.
Compared to the enemy’s strength, it might not seem like much, but a team like this was formidable in Sunrise Land and Huaxia!
“Are the weapons ready?”
Kenji Nakada nodded. “Everything is set.”
Lin Yi waved his hand. “Follow me!”
The group left the room, with the Mitsui retainers still patrolling other empty rooms, keeping everything orderly.
Lin Yi, looking particularly serious, led his men to the door of room 1408.
Bang, bang, bang!
Lin Yi kicked the door, showing no courtesy.
In a situation like this, a polite knock wouldn’t be called a search for contraband.
Bang, bang, bang!
He kicked three more times, and soon, the door was opened.
A man with a Terran face answered. Lin Yi didn’t recognize him from the video.
The man’s name was Xu Jiahao. He was similar in build to Lin Yi, with slightly long hair and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking unkempt.
Like Harris, Xu Jiahao was a highly trained Hongmen operative, now at C-class.
Peering past Xu Jiahao, Lin Yi saw the masked man from the surveillance, the Black man, and another unfamiliar man sitting at a mahjong table, clearly in the middle of a game.
However, there was no sign of Ji Qingyan!
“Who are you, and what do you want?” Xu Jiahao flicked his cigarette ash and asked.
“We’re the Sunrise Land Coast Guard. We suspect illegal trades are happening on this ship and need to inspect everyone here.”
Lin Yi responded in perfect Sunrise Land, complete with a distinctive regional dialect, making it highly convincing.
Despite the language, specialized translators ensured smooth communication.
“Are you kidding me? We’re tourists visiting Sunrise Land. How could we hide those things?!”
“It’s not up to you to decide. I hope you can cooperate with the inspection.”
Lin Yi pushed Xu Jiahao away and entered the room.
Xu Jiahao frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong.
This wasn’t because of Lin Yi’s rudeness, but because of the faint smell of blood.
In his opinion, this was unusual.
The six people brought in started to check every corner of the room. Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada pretended that nothing had happened as they checked the room.
However, Lin Yi’s target was to check all the places in the room where someone could hide.
In his estimation, Ji Qingyan was most likely to be in this room.
If he couldn’t find her here, then his plan couldn’t continue.
Slowly, Lin Yi walked to the door of the suite and was about to open it.
Crack…
The lock was unlocked, but just as Lin Yi was about to enter, he suddenly heard Xu Jiahao’s voice.
“Officer, I’d like to check your papers.”
Lin Yi’s hand was still on the doorknob, so he didn’t push the door open immediately.
This was because Xu Jiahao’s attitude had sent out a dangerous signal.
He already had doubts about his identity.
“Please recognize your position. These are Sunrise Land waters. We have the right to do anything we need to here.” Lin Yi said coldly.
“Secondly, your attitude makes me suspect you of carrying contraband, so we’ll increase the intensity of the search!”
With that, Lin Yi pushed open the door to the guest room.
Here, Lin Yi saw Ji Qingyan!
At the same time, Ji Qingyan also saw Lin Yi!
When Lin Yi came in, she had already heard the voices outside. However, she did not understand Sunrise Landese and did not know what they were talking about.
However, she vaguely felt that the voice of one of them sounded very familiar, but she did not think too much about it since the other party was speaking in Sunrise Landese.
However, at this moment, Ji Qingyan’s body seemed to have been petrified!
Even though he was wearing a mask that covered most of his face, she still recognized that man!
Ji Qingyan’s body trembled uncontrollably.
It was not like she hadn’t thought of Lin Yi suddenly appearing and bringing her back.
However, she knew that her dreams were just wishful thinking.
But now he had really come.
He walked through the ice and snow without any hesitation.
