Chapter 460 - 388: He Is No Saint Either

Chapter 460: Chapter 388: He Is No Saint Either

Wei Nan sat quietly for a moment.

Then, he said with a serious expression, "Lin Yi, back at dinner, I got the feeling that Director Wu was always trying to interrupt Han Yang!"

"And from the look on his face, it seemed like he was always trying to hide something!"

"Do you think that Wu Guo... could he be colluding with the Blood Handprint somehow?"

Finally, Wei Nan voiced the suspicion that had been on his mind.

It was this very thought that had been unsettling him.

He felt an urge to talk to someone about it, to analyze whether his guess was correct.

But he couldn’t find anyone he could really talk to.

That’s why he had come to Lin Yi to share his thoughts.

Lin Yi glanced at him with a smile and nodded. "Not bad. You’ve really improved since you joined the Town Martial Department!"

"At least you’re learning to use your head to think through problems!"

Wei Nan was speechless.

"I’m not sure if Wu Guo is a problem,"

"but that Han Yang... he’s definitely a problem!"

"Huh? What do you mean? I thought he seemed decent, at least much better than Tang Zhan!"

Wei Nan said in surprise.

Lin Yi gave him a knowing smile. "I don’t think Wu Guo is controlling Han Yang. It’s the other way around; Han Yang is controlling Wu Guo."

"In fact, it’s highly likely that Han Yang is the one who’s a member of the Blood Handprint!"

"Huh? No way, my head’s spinning!"

"Han Yang, at the end of the day, is just a captain in the public security bureau!"

"Wu Guo is the director for all of Qishan City. How could their superior-subordinate relationship be reversed?"

Wei Nan scratched his head, looking completely baffled.

Lin Yi chuckled and said, "Have you ever seen a situation where a subordinate is talking, and the superior can’t even get a word in edgewise?"

"Besides, when Han Yang was talking, his eyes were constantly shifting."

"And with every sentence, he kept glancing in my direction."

"He was secretly studying my expression!"

"He was probing me... Besides, Lin Yu was the Blood Handprint’s Blood Envoy in the Old District."

"When he died, the news was everywhere. It caused considerable turmoil within the Blood Handprint in the Old District."

"The Blood Handprint members in the various cities were immediately thrown into chaos, losing all cohesion."

"It’s become much harder for them to regroup."

"And one more crucial point. Do you remember when I asked him how many ’Farms’ Qishan City had?"

Hearing this, Wei Nan nodded quickly.

"I remember. Han Yang said there was one, but they had already destroyed it, right?" Wei Nan said, recalling the conversation.

Lin Yi smiled. "That’s right. That’s exactly what he said."

"And that’s precisely where he slipped up."

"There are only two ’Farms’ in the entire Old District—one in Xinghai City and one in Jiangshui City!"

"And we’ve already destroyed both of them!"

"So where would Qishan City get a ’Farm’ from?"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Wei Nan’s brow furrowed deeply.

"But... maybe our intelligence was wrong? Or we were misled?"

Lin Yi nodded. "That’s a possibility."

"However, Old Wei’s specialty is psychic attacks."

"Very few people subjected to his ’Mind Trial’ can hide the real truth."

"Besides, he got these answers from over a dozen minor Blood Handprint leaders. How likely do you think it is that the intelligence is false?"

Lin Yi’s words sent Wei Nan deep into thought.

After a long while, he finally said, "So, you’re saying Han Yang is the one from the Blood Handprint!"

"He might even be the Blood Handprint’s representative in Qishan City?"

"And on top of that, the entire Qishan City public security bureau might have been under his control for a long time?"

"So that’s why Director Wu seemed like he wanted to say something but stopped himself several times!"

"He was actually trying to interrupt Han Yang to warn us about something?"

"But he didn’t dare do it, which is why he seemed so hesitant and couldn’t get the words out?"

Wei Nan had finally caught on.

Lin Yi’s gaze sparkled as he looked out the window.

"When I first came in, I found several miniature cameras and listening devices installed in the room."

"But I’ve already removed them all."

"So, the public security bureau in Qishan City has a huge problem."

"The rot starts from the very roots..."

"Holy shit! Cameras and bugs too? These guys really go all out!"

"Then what about tonight? Are we still going ahead with the operation? What if Han Yang is setting a trap for us?"

Wei Nan flew into a rage.

Lin Yi glanced at him with a smile. "We’re going. We definitely have to go."

"They’re trying to set a trap for us, so we’ll just turn the tables and lure the snake out of its hole."

"We’ll draw Han Yang out and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Nan nodded lightly.

"Alright, it’s a plan. Just tell me what to do when it’s time to move."

"I’m getting a little tired. I’m going back to get some sleep."

With that, Wei Nan stretched, then walked out the door.

Lin Yi paid him no mind. After Wei Nan left,

he immediately entered the [Star River Qi Transformation Technique] and began to cultivate.

...

「Director’s Office.」

Ever since Wu Guo returned, he had been feeling deeply uneasy.

He admitted to himself that he was no saint.

To have survived this long, he had naturally done some wicked things.

For instance, covering for the members of the Blood Handprint as they ran rampant in Qishan City.

But today, after seeing Lin Yi,

he just couldn’t shake the feeling of dread.

After dinner, he had rushed back to his office and had been sitting there, dazed, ever since.
