Chapter 1565: Chapter 786: Double Blessings

"Luckily, luckily."

"Since that’s the case, we don’t need to wait for them; let’s start talking."

Lin Beichen didn’t dwell on the matter of Li Kui and Leopard. Though it was quite a bombshell, he wasn’t one to gossip.

As soon as Lin Beichen spoke, everyone present tensed up, stopping their casual chatter. Even Aixius understood that Lin Beichen was about to discuss something important and sat quietly without causing any trouble.

"We are currently facing a significant problem, which is that our base is too small," Lin Beichen said, pointing to the ground.

"This severely affects the living quality of our brothers and limits the future development of our Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps."

The problems need to be solved one by one, and Lin Beichen thought that compared to the base issue, Tyson going missing was still a minor issue that could be brought up later.

Xu Qiang, an elder of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps, was the first to speak after hearing what Lin Beichen said.

After pondering for a moment, he said seriously, "The issue Brother Lin mentioned is indeed very serious."

"However, base construction is not something that can be done overnight."

Looking at Lin Beichen, he continued, "We can look around the outskirts of Freedom City to see if there’s a more suitable place, or if we can take over someone else’s base."

Ped nodded in agreement after Xu Qiang spoke, "Xu Qiang is right. Just like my previous base, it was built too hastily, so I was never really satisfied with it."

"But to spend time building a new one, we neither have the time nor the energy, not to mention the manpower."

"Hmm..." Seeing that others didn’t seem to want to voice opinions, Lin Beichen thought for a moment and said, "Then let’s go with what Xu Qiang said. We will barely stay here for three days."

"During these three days, send out more people to gather news in Freedom City."

"Two people will stay with a hundred brothers to guard the base; the rest will go out to take action." Lin Beichen gave the order.

Hu Zi and John, who had joined the Wolf Fang Mercenaries later, remained silent during this meeting.

However, once Lin Beichen gave the command, they both responded affirmatively.

Subsequently, Lin Beichen tapped the table, "There’s one more thing..."

Just as he said this, two people burst into the room.

"Brother Lin, sorry, we overslept today." It was Li Kui and Leopard.

At this moment, Li Kui looked embarrassed, scratching his head and looking at Lin Beichen, his face flushed.

Leopard was in a similar state, still puzzled about how the alcohol was so potent. They had a good chat with Li Kui, but it wasn’t enough to end up in the same bed.

The key was that they drank to the point of getting drunk, leading them to sleep together.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely embarrassed, secretly observing the room to see if anyone knew about it.

Seeing everyone with serious expressions, Brother Leopard sighed in relief, assuming no one knew. Little did he know, the small fry who went to call him had already spilled the beans.

Everyone appeared serious because Lin Beichen was holding a meeting on important matters, and no one dared to be flippant.

However, there was someone who dared, and that was Aixius.

She saw Li Kui and Leopard entering awkwardly and, although she initially resisted laughing, she couldn’t help but remember what the small fry had said, breaking out into laughter.

"Pfft..."

Hearing Aixius laugh, others felt a bit amused too, but didn’t dare laugh, their expressions turning awkward.

"Alright, both of you sit down." Lin Beichen was nearly amused by the ridiculous scene but restrained himself.

If it went on like this, he might not hold back. So, Lin Beichen quickly changed the topic.

Li Kui and Leopard immediately followed Lin Beichen’s arrangement. After sitting down, Li Kui asked, "Brother Lin, did we arrive late?"

"Did you finish up?"

Lin Beichen replied in a frustrated tone, "Almost finished."

"But there’s one more thing, Li Kui, you came just in time."

Initially, Lin Beichen was wondering whom he could entrust with the seemingly futile task of finding Tyson.

But seeing Li Kui now, he immediately had the right person in mind.

"Brother Lin, what is it?" Li Kui was thrilled to hear Lin Beichen had kept something for him to do.

His expression seemed to boast to everyone, "See, in Brother Lin’s eyes, I’m the most needed."

"Sigh, it’s not a big deal, just that Tyson went missing." Lin Beichen said nonchalantly.

"What?!" Xu Qiang exclaimed, recalling something as he continued, "No wonder I haven’t seen Tyson for a long time."

"I thought you had sent him on some mission, Brother Lin."

Zhao Ligeng, who was Tyson’s closest friend, looked worried upon hearing of Tyson’s disappearance.

He asked, "How could he disappear just like that?"

Looking at Lin Beichen, he continued, "Brother Lin, when and where did Tyson go missing?"

"I’ll go find him."

Lin Beichen thought for a moment and replied, "He went missing yesterday when we were gathering info at the gambling den."

"When we left the gambling den, Tyson was nowhere to be seen."

"Then I’ll head to the gambling den to look for him." Zhao Ligeng quickly said.

Lin Beichen shook his head, "I went there yesterday already, and he wasn’t there."

Zhao Ligeng was instantly somewhat dejected, "Then what do we do?"

"Are we just leaving Tyson like that?"

"Of course not," Lin Beichen said, pointing to Li Kui, "Li Kui is familiar with Freedom City; I’ll arrange for him to search for Tyson."

Knowing this was a chance to prove himself, Li Kui quickly agreed, "Brother Lin, don’t worry, I’ll definitely find Tyson."

Although finding someone in Freedom City was challenging, and Tyson might not even be in the city anymore, it was Lin Beichen’s task, and no matter how hard it was, he had to do it.

"Alright, that’s the two tasks. Zhao Ligeng and Hu Zi will stay with a hundred brothers to guard the base, while the others will go out to search for a new base." Lin Beichen ordered.

Of course, "the others" did not include Li Kui, who had the task of finding Tyson.

Lin Beichen didn’t let him do it alone, providing him with fifty men.

And so, under Lin Beichen’s arrangement, everyone began taking action.

Li Kui drove to the gambling den from yesterday with his team. Although Lin Beichen had said he’d been there already, Li Kui thought Tyson might be waiting for them there now.

And with no leads, Li Kui had no idea where to start, so he decided to ask around the gambling den; maybe someone had seen Tyson. After all, Tyson’s distinctive build would likely be memorable to someone.

With a few people in tow, Li Kui swaggered to the gambling den’s chip exchange area, exuding the aura of a mob boss.

This chip exchange area was at the entrance to the gambling den, easily visible to anyone entering.

Li Kui approached the person there and asked, "Hey, let me ask you something."

The person at the chip exchange was startled, thinking Li Kui might be there to cause trouble.

He breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "Wha...what is it?"

"Did you see a big black guy at your gambling den yesterday?" Li Kui described Tyson as best as he could, "He’s quite burly, has a buzz cut, and in the late afternoon yesterday, he came in with a particularly handsome young man and a beautiful woman. There were four of us in total."

Li Kui rambled on, "Did you see that big black guy leave the gambling den?"

The other person scratched their head, saying, "Let me think."

Li Kui nodded and leaned against a nearby table, waiting.
