The group drove back to Zhonghai.
Liang Ruoxu was well aware of Lin Yi’s intentions but did not say anything. The Qin family, the Liang family, and the Gao family were all famous families known throughout Zhonghai and even all of Huaxia.
Their relationship was good, and were a form of assurance for Lin Yi.
This would effectively help resist the impact of the international capital surge.
Naturally, she had to do him this favor.
Even so, from from the beginning to the end, there was one thing Lin Yi couldn’t figure out.
With Liang Ruoxu’s status, she could easily settle this matter with a phone call.
Why did she have to make a special trip here?
It was not worth her time.
Most importantly, she even brought MO Hongshan along.
He was Yang Guangxia’s personal guard.
If there was nothing important happening, he would not leave Yang Guangxia’s side.
Moreover, the two of them were not very familiar with each other. No matter how one looked at it, his appearance here was a little abrupt.
Although he was puzzled, Lin Yi didn’t say anything and even thanked him in public.
They soon arranged to eat at the Peninsula Hotel.
Chen Bingqiang was about to leave, but Lin Yi stopped him.
It would be good for him to build a relationship with the three great clans.
However, how exactly this would take place was known only to the people in that room.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Yi went to the washroom, but when he came out, he saw MO Hongshan standing guard outside, as if waiting for him.
“Brother Shan, how’s the food? Is it to your liking?” Lin Yi smiled. “I think you’ve only had one glass of wine. Are you not used to it? I’ll change something else for you.”
“No, no, no.” MO Hongshan shook his head. “l still have to return to the garrison area later. I can only drink as much as the limit permits. When I take my break, I’ll look for you to drink some more.”
“I’ll remember that. I’ll get a few bottles of good wine to entertain you.”
MO Hongshan smiled and nodded. He looked around and said to Lin Yi after confirming that no one was around.
“Do you have time now? I want to talk to you about some personal matters.”
“If you have something to say, say it. We’re not outsiders.” “There’s no one in the private room next door. Let’s talk there.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yi pushed open the door to the private room beside him and walked in with MO Hongshan.
The latter took out a pack of cigarettes. “Can I smoke here?”
‘Whatever you want.”
MO Hongshan smiled and handed one to Lin Yi. Lin Yi didn’t refuse. The two of them lit their cigarettes one after another. Smoke filled the air, and MO Hongshan touched his shirt pocket.
Then, he took out a dark red badge.
The badge was not big, measuring about three to four centimeters in diameter.
There was a sickle and five small stars on it. It was decorated with wheat ears and looked abnormally exquisite.
“Brother Shan, what is this?’
“Let me reintroduce myself.” MO Hongshan said.
“Other than being Old Master Yang’s personal guard, I’m also one of the reserve members of the Huaxia Central Guards Brigade.”
“Huh?’
Lin Yi almost took a step back in surprise.
He had fought with MO Hongshan before and knew his strength very well.
If even a person of his level could only be a reserve member, then how awesome was the Central Guards Brigade?
“Is this the new military unit?”
MO Hongshan shook his head. “It has a history of more than a hundred years, but it has never been shared with the public.”
“Oh? But even a person like you can only be a reserve member. This Central Guards Brigade is definitely not a normal unit, right?”
MO Hongshan nodded and did not disagree.
“You’re right. If you want to join this organization, there’s a hard rule which is that you have to know how to exert force in your dantian. Because I haven ‘t completely mastered it, I’m only a reserve member.”
“But does this thing work?’
Lin Yi raised his own question. “l admit that I know how to exert strength in my dantian, but if you hit me with a Desert Eagle, you can still kill me. Even if my skills are more proficient than yours, it’s useless.”
MO Hongshan hesitated for a few seconds and suppressed the impulse in his heart.
There were some things that he had yet to tell him.
“It’s like this. Before the new year, you went to Yanjing, right?”
“You all know about this?”
“I heard about it through the grapevine, but don’t worry, we were not following you. It’s just that someone noticed you and realized that you had a slight conflict with someone else.”
Lin Yi rubbed his chin but eventually nodded.
“It was with the Li family and the Wei family from Yanjing, but they are nothing special. ”
“The little friction between you and them was one of the triggers for this,” MO Hongshan said.
“The Central Guards Brigade wanted to recruit you, but because of your special nature, they informed Old Master Yang first. May I ask for your opinion on this?”
“Just because I know this special fighting technique, you want to pull me in?”
Lin Yi said.
“We don’t fight with hand-to-hand combat anymore. Even if our individual skills are impressive, it won’t be a decisive factor. What can make a true impact is technology, not any single person or a unit. ‘
‘What you said makes sense, but the Central Guards Brigade isn’t carrying out battlefield missions. They’re carrying out a secret plan. Having said that, it’s not convenient for me to tell you what the plan is. I hope you understand.”
Lin Yi raised his head and looked at MO Hongshan. The two of them looked at each other, and time seemed to have stopped. This lasted for more than ten seconds before Lin Yi finally spoke.
“Is the mission carried out by the Central Guards Brigade related to prehistoric civilizations?’
As soon as these words were spoken, MO Hongshan’s expression immediately froze, and even his lips began to tremble.
He never dreamed that Lin Yi would know about this.
“You know my identity very well. I have to strictly follow orders, so there are some things I can’t tell you. However, I’ll tell Old Master Yang about our conversation today. I think Old Master Yang will look for you in the near future. If you have any questions about this, you can ask him.”
In fact, Lin Yi’s guess was spot on.
However, in MO Hongshan’s opinion, answering his question was equivalent to leaking confidential information without permission, so he could not say a single word.
Furthermore, he did not press further on whether Lin Yi was willing to participate in the Central Guards Brigade.
At this point, it was time to end the conversation.
“Alright, I understand. When does Elder Yang have time to see me? Give me a
call.”
“Alright, it’s settled then.”
“Let’s go and continue eating.”
“At this time, I’m not in the mood to eat.” MO Hongshan smiled and said, “1 have to tell Old Master Yang about this. Be prepared. He might look for you later.”
“I’m ready whenever you are.”
“Then I’ll leave first.” MO Hongshan patted Lin Yi’s shoulder.
“Tell Little Mi that I’ll be driving the car away. You can send her back then.”
“It’s a small matter. Leave it to me.”
Lin Yi sent MO Hongshan to the entrance of the hotel and asked Wang Tianlong to take out two bottles of Maotai and a bottle of Latour Castle for him to drink slowly.
As he watched MO Hongshan leave, Lin Yi muttered to himself,
“Finally.]’
