Yanjing, General Staff Departments courtyard.

Lu Beichen sat in the courtyard drinking tea. Not far away, he could hear the sound of training on the field.

Liang Xianghe sat opposite him, drinking tea and playing chess.

Are we just going to leave Lin Yi alone, Chief? Liang Xianghe said.

I have a lot of things on my hands and dont have time to bother with him. Lu Beichen said.

Whats going on over there? 1 heard that theres a problem with their business?

While playing chess, Liang Xianghe briefly told Lu Beichen about what had happened in Panem.

If thats the case, its a little strange. Those people from the management bureau are deliberately targeting Lin Yi.

I know, right? 1 have a feeling that theres something fishy going on. But Lingyun Group hasnt really made a big move internationally yet The people who had conflicts with them in the past have all been dealt with Moreover, I cant figure out what kind of force could compel the Ca.n.a.l Authority to act in such a manner.

Its indeed a little strange. Lu Beichen pondered.

There are two possibilities. Liang Xianghe a.n.a.lyzed calmly.

First, the Ca.n.a.l Authority acted according to the rules and then withheld the goods.

If thats the case, with Lin Yis ability, he can handle it himself. Lu Beichen said.

After all, those guys will always follow the money. As long as the money is in place, theres no issue that cant be solved. Most importantly, after dragging it out for so long, although they have reason and evidence, its still suspicious for this matter to still remain open.

Then only the second possibility can hold true. Theres a mastermind behind this. Liang Xianghe said.

Almost all of Lin Yis businesses are in Huaxia. Even if the photolithography machine and chip projects open up a portion of the international market, they dont pose a threat to international capital. If someone is really behind this I suspect that they might be from Huaxia.

Lu Beichen was about to place his piece when his hand suddenly paused.

Are you suspecting the w.a.n.g family?

I dont really want to suspect them either, but it seems like theres really no one else besides them.

w.a.n.g Mians leg was broken by Lin Yi and hes now a cripple. They have a motive for this. Lu Beichen said.

However, after the incident last year, the w.a.n.g familys power is not as great as before. Do they really have the guts to do such a thing?

This is also what I suspect. It feels a little contradictory. Liang Xianghe said. w.a.n.g Mians leg was broken, and the w.a.n.g family has become the laughing stock of the other families. However, they did not retaliate or respond Its as if they have accepted their fate. This is not in line with w.a.n.g Tingshans personality.

I understand what you mean. Thats why Ive been following the w.a.n.g familys movements since the newyear. However, theyve continued to follow the rules and didnt do anything out of line. After such a long time, things still look calm. This is quite intriguing.

Liang Xianghe didnt say anything. This evaluation seemed accurate.

The two of them could not figure out the truth of this matter.

Chief!

Just as the atmosphere was in a deadlock, Lu Beichens guard jogged over with a phone in his hand.

Chief, its a call.

Looking at the name on it, he realized that it was Liu Hong. Lu Beichen quickly picked up the call.

Chief, are you in the courtyard? 1 have something urgent to report to you. Ill be there soon.

Im here. Come over.

Okay.

A few minutes after hanging up, Liu Hong stopped his car in front of Lu Beichen.

Whats the matter? It sounds urgent.

According to reliable sources, some forces outside the country are moving towards Panem. They might have discovered traces of Ba.s.s ores. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a huge commotion.

Theyre all going to Panem?!

Hearing this news, the two of them could not sit still.

Because Lin Yi was over there!

Seeing that Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghes expressions were not quite right Liu Hong probed,

Chief, did something happen?

Lin Yi and Team 1 are both in Panem.

Liu Hong.???

This news came as a surprise to him.

Could he have heard the news in advance?

Liu Hong knew Lin Yi well. He knew that Lin Yis movements were unpredictable. It wouldnt be strange if he went to Panem himself.

However, it was very strange that the entire Team 1 had also gone there. He went to Panem to deal with personal issues. He had nothing to do with this.

Lu Beichen replied nonchalantly because his thoughts were occupied by another matter.

He and Liang Xianghe were both thinking about a problem.

The other forces had all rushed to Panem. Could it be related to the conflict between Lin Yi and the Management Bureau?

Chief? How should we handle this matter? Liu Hong probed.

Should we send Team 2 and Team 3 to help?

Not for now. Lu Beichen said.

The news from overseas hasnt been confirmed yet. Theres no need to make a big fuss. Lin Yi is still dealing with his private matters. If you send Team 2 and Team 3 over, with Lin Yis fearless personality, he might just burn the whole place down.

Then do you want to wait and see?

Lu Beichen nodded and played with the chess piece in his hand. Tell Lin Yi about this and let him prepare.

Okay, Ill take care of it.

After reporting to Lu Beichen about the movements outside the country, Liu Hong drove away.

However, their expressions were not very good.

Chief, do you think these matters are connected?

Based on past experience, there shouldnt be any connection. Lu Beichen said.

The people abroad, they act with strong intentions: terrorism, money, and minerals, said Lu Beichen, summing up the possible motives.

Liang Xianghe nodded in agreement.

Of those three motives, Lin Yi only fits one, but the amount of money involved isnt significant enough for these people to mobilize such efforts; it might just be a coincidence.

If thats the case, then the problem isnt too serious, Liang Xianghe remarked:

With so many days pa.s.sed, the issues concerning his company have probably been mostly resolved. They can seamlessly transition to the next task and, at the same time, get some practice for one of the teams.

Panem City, Lin Yis phone rang at one in the morning.

He picked up the phone and was about to scold the caller when he realized that the person who called was not He Yuanyuan.

Its early in the morning. Its very immoral to call at this time!

Kid, dont sleep yet. I have something serious to tell you. Liu Hong said seriously.

According to reliable sources, a large number of foreigners have arrived in Panem City. Pay attention to their movements. If you have any information, contact me immediately..
