Chapter 2294: Chapter 2295: Keen Insight
“I’ll do my best.”
Lin Yi smacked his lips and took another swig of beer.
“Boss, are you feeling uncomfortable too?”
“Mm,” Lin Yi nodded.
“Even if you’re not comfortable, try not to laugh out loud.”
“Alright, I’ll hold it in for a while.”
...Lin Yi adjusted his expression to look more serious, then shot Sui Qiang a look, and the two headed downstairs together.
The bar wasn’t full of freaks, nor did it have any strange rules.
Like some places you could go, some you couldn’t.
Apart from the bar’s office area, customers were allowed everywhere.
Whether you were from the Imperial Relatives or a common street peddler, there was no distinction made here.
The two made their way down to the bar’s basement, which was much quieter than upstairs.
There were some common entertainment facilities in the middle, but they were simple and quiet games like darts and frisbees.
However, it was much more ambiguous than Lin Yi had expected.
Although there were couples being affectionate, more often there were two men hugging and cuddling, enough to make Sui Qiang’s skin crawl.
While the atmosphere upstairs was also a bit ambiguous, it was much better than here; at least it seemed normal.
Their appearance didn’t attract much attention.
Everyone was busy with love and romance, not bothering with outsiders.
The two found an empty seat and sat down to observe the situation around them.
Besides the spacious hall in the middle, there were six rooms around, and anyone with eyes could guess what they were for.
Lin Yi thought that by now, Zhang Chaoyue must have taken off his pants.
At that moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Zhang Chaoyue.
Just a simple number, “01.”
Lin Yi looked around and saw it was the room on his right, also the largest one.
Tap tap tap…
Lin Yi’s fingers drummed incessantly on the armrest of the chair.
If nothing unexpected happened, they must be gambling inside, and whether they could gather any information depended on Zhang Chaoyue’s ability.
“Boss…”
Just then, Sui Qiang muttered something.
Following his gaze, Lin Yi saw the two Sunrise Landese men had also come in and sat down not far away, making no unnecessary movements.
But he noticed the Sunrise Landese men occasionally glanced their way.
Lin Yi faintly felt that something was not quite right.
“Let’s go. We might be under suspicion. Let Ning Che and her team take over.”
Sui Qiang, not having the same sharp intuition as Lin Yi, agreed and followed him out.
“Lin Bro, why did you come out? Did you get any info?”
“Those two Sunrise Landese might have suspected our identities. Just to be safe, you and Ning Che go in. They’re in room 01 on the negative first floor. Just keep an eye on things.”
“What about Brother Yue? How are things now?”
“He’s probably down to his underwear by now. As for progress, we can’t really say.”
Pfft—
Luo Qi couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, alright, Sister Ning is on her way now.”
“Make sure you two act convincingly.”
“No problem, it’s different for women than for men.”
After saying this, Luo Qi linked arms with Ning Che and even kissed her on the cheek, looking quite natural, with Ning Che showing no reaction.
“Get moving, get moving, don’t make me sick here.”
“That’s not true, it’s just a kiss, what’s so disgusting about that?” Luo Qi looked at Lin Yi and said,
“It’s clear that Brother Lin has never played with double-shot fireworks, tsk tsk, what a pity.”
Lin Yi: …
“Both of you, behave.” Qiu Yuluo chided them, “Get inside quickly, don’t delay the important matters.”
“Okay.”
The two women straightened themselves up and then walked into the bar.
“Boss, do you think those two from Japan might make a move on Bernard?”
“It’s hard to say.” Lin Yi answered,
“We have very little information on hand, and probably so does Japan. If they can’t get useful news after a long time, they might resort to drastic measures. After all, it’s a small country, and Japan has an absolutely overwhelming position over them.”
“Then we need to beat Japan to the punch.”
“That depends on the specifics of the intel we get from Zhang Chaoyue.” Lin Yi spoke seriously,
“Right now, he is the only one we can count on.”
Time ticked by, second by second, and soon it was past ten o’clock at night, when Zhang Chaoyue and Bernard came out from the inside.
The former looked alright, but Bernard was red-faced, waving his arms and legs about, clearly very happy.
However, at this moment, the others around them were nowhere to be seen – only the two of them.
After they exited, Zhang Chaoyue glanced at the car where Lin Yi and the others were, making a gesture to follow.
He believed that the people in the car would definitely notice; otherwise, they didn’t deserve to stay with the Central Guards Brigade.
“Boss, let’s go.”
“Hold on, not so fast.” Lin Yi stopped Sui Qiang and whispered,
“Those two from Japan are probably right behind them, let’s wait a bit so others spot them.”
“Or I can go with you.” Qiu Yuluo suggested,
“My face is less familiar.”
“That works.”
As Lin Yi expected, shortly after the two men came out, those two from Japan also emerged from the bar and stealthily followed Zhang Chaoyue and Bernard.
Sui Qiang once again admired Lin Yi’s insight.
After ensuring a safe distance between the two parties, Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo got out of the car.
Qiu Yuluo pulled her high-neck coat around her, covering most of her face.
The heels of her boots clicked against the pavement as she naturally took Lin Yi’s arm, snuggling into him like a little woman in his embrace, not arousing any suspicion.
“This time you’ve taken advantage of me again, we’ll need to talk about it when we get back.”
“You’d be better off resting in that time – so many women waiting for you, don’t overexert yourself.”
Lin Yi: …
“Let’s go, they seem to have quickened their pace.”
Qiu Yuluo quickened her steps, following closely while holding Lin Yi’s arm.
“Those two guys look like they can’t wait to make a move.”
Lin Yi muttered, closely following the pace of the two from Japan.
Qiu Yuluo looked around and whispered,
“Zhang Chaoyue seems to be doing it on purpose, leading Bernard to a secluded place, it looks like he’s creating an opportunity for us.”
Lin Yi nodded, “I guess he’s also noticed the two people behind us. We won’t make a move first, let’s see what those two from Japan are up to, and then act accordingly.”
“Okay.”
Under Zhang Chaoyue’s lead, the two men walked arm in arm down a dimly lit alley.
Not far away, a vagrant’s singing could still be heard, adding a touch of human warmth to the bleak winter season.
And it was precisely at this moment that the two from Japan quickened their steps, rushing towards Zhang Chaoyue and Bernard!
