“Whatever it takes, I’ll make it up to you.”

Lin Yi said while panting heavily.

“How is Team Leader Li doing?”

“Several bones are broken, but he’s not in any life-threatening condition.”

Ning Che, though not as skilled in medical care as Lin Yi, knew enough basic first aid.

When she had dragged Li Hang inside, she performed a quick check, and only after confirming there was no immediate danger did she feel relieved.

“What about Xu Lan’s condition?”

“She’s fine, just knocked out.”

“That’s good.”

At that moment, the doors to the underground lab opened, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers rushed in.

“Team Leader Lin, Team Leader Ning.”

“The intruder has been dealt with. Now we can clean up,” Lin Yi said.

“By the way, call an ambulance quickly. We have injured people here.”

“Understood!”

Soon after, the unconscious Li Hang was carried out. Lin Yi supported Ning Che as they helped Xu Lan out of the underground lab.

As they reached the office building, Xu Lan’s pupils shrank.

She saw that the Central Guards Brigade guards had detained Fang Jing.

“Wh-what’s going on…?”

“She was an accomplice to the suspect. She let him in and controlled the surveillance room. Otherwise, none of this would have happened.”

Xu Lan’s body trembled. Her gaze fell on Fang Jing, filled with disbelief. It took her a long moment to process the situation.

“Why… How could you…”

Fang Jing turned her head away, saying nothing.

She couldn’t face her former friend. She couldn’t look into Xu Lan’s eyes.

“Why did you do this?!”

Xu Lan, always gentle, now had fury in her eyes.

In Team 8, Fang Jing had been her closest confidante.

She couldn’t accept that her best friend had done something like this!

“Tell me, answer me!”

Xu Lan screamed hysterically,

“Why did you do this? This is the Central Guards Brigade! We carry the mission of 1.4 billion people! Why did you betray us?!”

Fang Jing still kept her head turned, remaining silent.

Slap!

Xu Lan slapped Fang Jing across the face, but Fang Jing remained motionless.

“Alright, there will be people to handle things here. Let’s go.”

Lin Yi said, pulling Xu Lan away. The rest was no longer their responsibility.

Within the next twenty minutes, members of the Central Guards Brigade stationed in Yanjing all arrived.

Lu Beichen, Liang Xianghe, Liu Hong, Qiu Yuluo, and Tao Cheng were among those present.

The Central Guards Brigade had faced a serious situation, and they all had a responsibility to bear.

Lin Yi and Ning Che entered the meeting room, and Lu Beichen spoke up first.

“How are you two holding up?”

“We’re fine. A couple of days of rest, and we’ll be good,” Ning Che replied.

“Do you know who the attacker was?”

“He was from that mysterious organization, here to steal the data on the C-class serum,” Lin Yi explained.

“We fought in Toyo before. He’s B-class. The scar I have is from him.”

“B-class!”

Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe exchanged glances, surprised that a B-class opponent had come after them.

“I think there’s no point in dwelling on this anymore.”

Lin Yi said, his gaze fixed on the cup of water on the table.

“This situation happened because we all share some responsibility.”

The atmosphere in the meeting room was already heavy, but Lin Yi’s words made it even more suffocating.

With both Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe present, it was daring for him to speak so bluntly.

In the entire Central Guards Brigade, only Lin Yi could say something like this.

“The Central Guards Brigade’s security is strong, but nothing in this world is truly impenetrable. No one can guarantee they won’t be compromised.” Lin Yi paused before continuing,

“We’ve become complacent lately, relying too much on the sense of superiority that the Central Guards Brigade gives us. It’s time to fix the fence before more sheep are lost.”

“I’ll take note of that. Let’s move on to discussing the current situation.”

Liu Hong interjected, steering the conversation away from Lin Yi’s bold criticism. With two senior leaders in the room, some tact was necessary.

“Given the current situation, I believe the mysterious organization is well aware of our experimental progress. Their goal was to obtain the drug data. If that data is destroyed, no one in the world will believe our findings, and the drug’s fatal flaw will remain hidden.”

After a moment of silence, Lin Yi added,Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“In other words, we’re holding a ticking time bomb. If the experimental report gets out, it will create chaos. The mysterious organization won’t let this go, and we could be on the brink of war.”

“Declaring war on the Central Guards Brigade? Highly unlikely. This is Yanjing, and even if they had more courage, they wouldn’t dare,” Liang Xianghe said.

“I agree,” Lin Yi replied.

“No one can withstand the global nuclear balance, but that doesn’t mean they won’t retaliate against our teams on the island. The Yanlong Squad is still out there, and their future missions might face resistance. So, how we handle this data is critical.”

No one spoke, but it was clear they agreed with Lin Yi’s assessment.

As the meeting continued, Lu Beichen gave several critical instructions. The discussions lasted until dawn.

After the meeting, Lin Yi and Ning Che went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Once they confirmed there were no serious issues, they felt relieved.

Although the incident was serious, the Central Guards Brigade’s trials weren’t halted.

The reasoning was simple—they didn’t want to raise suspicion or reveal too much, so things continued as planned.

Tao Cheng stayed behind to oversee the trials.

After Lin Yi, Ning Che, and Qiu Yuluo finished their check-ups at the hospital, they headed to a nearby restaurant. After a long night, they were all starving.

“Now that the Central Guards Brigade has handled things, the next step is an internal investigation. What’s your plan?” Qiu Yuluo asked, looking at Lin Yi.

“I’ll wait to see what Liu Hong arranges. If nothing else comes up, I’ll head back to Zhonghai,” Lin Yi said.

There’s a pile of crap at home waiting for me to deal with.”

“Damn, I got hurt this badly, and you’re not even going to stay with me for a few days?” Ning Che complained.

“It’s just that you’re covered in injuries. If I touch you, it’ll hurt, and we won’t have any fun,” Lin Yi said with a grin.

“Once you’re better, we can go for 300 rounds.”

“True. If I tried now, I wouldn’t even know if it was pain or pleasure.”

Qiu Yuluo rolled her eyes from the side.

She had no idea what to do with these two.
