    They learned that Lin Yi and his team had left.


    Evans and Helice’s expressions rxed somewhat, no longer as tense as before. After all, the immediate danger had passed.


    “Even though the Central Guard Brigade members have left, I doubt they’ll give up easily. They mighte up with other strategiester. That’s what we need to guard against,” Helice remarked.


    “I’m aware,” Evans replied.


    “We need to report this incident and assign more personnel to keep an eye on the Central Guard Brigade’s movements.”


    “For now, I suppose this chapter is closed, though it’s a pity for poor Lee Yongchul.”


    “Let Samsung deal with that matter. However far they can take it, that’s their concern,” Evans said, standing up from the sofa. “Let’s rest for now. We can discuss the remaining issues tomorrow.”


    “Alright.”


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Just as the two were preparing to leave, frantic knocking came from the door.<div>


    Both turned their heads in unison toward the entrance, and Helice went to open it.


    Outside stood a man in a ck suit, breathless and panicked. “Mr. Evans, the Freemason building is on fire!”


    “What did you say? It’s on fire?!”


    Both of their faces turned ashen in an instant.


    The Freemason building in Lundun held immense symbolic significance for them.


    The fact that it was now aze was something they couldn’t fathom!


    “Hurry! Take me there!”


    Both rushed downstairs and drove to the Freemason building.


    When they arrived, they found that the fire had not yet been extinguished.


    The roaring mes illuminated the pitch-ck night, resembling a grand and dazzling bonfire.


    The Freemason building waspletely engulfed by mes, with explosions echoing from within.


    The building was on the verge of copse at any moment.


    Four fire trucks were on the scene, but they seemed overwhelmed by the ferocity of the fire.


    Although Lundun was known as a paradise for the wealthy, it didn’t mean they led the world in every domain


    Firefighting was one of them.


    If this were Huaxia, countless fire trucks would have arrived in waves to provide backup in case of arge fire.


    But here in Lundun, there were only four, and it had taken a long time for them to arrive.


    To make matters worse, the water supply didn’t seem adequate.


    “What the hell is going on?! Why hasn’t the fire been put out yet?”<div>


    Evans roared at the firefighters.


    “This was an arson! Someone poured gasoline inside, and there are mmable and explosive materials everywhere. Our people can’t get in!”


    The gasoline had been brought in by Lin Yi, while the mmable and explosive materials had been set up by Qiu Yuluo and Luo Qi.


    This ensured that the fire would continue to spread, making it difficult to extinguish.<div>


    Additionally, once Lin Yi arrived, he had rigged the building with explosives.


    He ced small bombs on the load-bearing walls and the steel structure. After the explosions, the building’s structural integrity would copse in an instant.


    This would significantly hasten the rate at which the building crumbled.


    With that, his mission wasplete.


    As Evans and Helice stared at the inferno, their eyes widened in shock, their mouths agape. Their expressions quickly shifted to fury.


    “There was a mistake in our intelligence! This was definitely done by the Central Guard Brigade!” Helice said venomously.


    “Let’s head back. I’ll have people investigate this thoroughly!”


    Evans responded, his face still expressionless, though anger brewed within him.


    Although the Freemasons hadn’t suffered any casualties, the building represented more than just bricks and mortar. It symbolized the Freemasons’ power and prestige.


    Now, it had been set aze in such a public manner, a tant act of provocation against the Freemasons!


    …


    On the flight to Huaxia, despite it being the middle of the night, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che hadn’t truly rested.


    They sat quietly with their eyes closed, attempting to recharge.<div>


    Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!


    Qiu Yuluo’s phone suddenly vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Liu Hong.


    “What’s going on?”


    Ning Che, now awake, asked curiously.


    “It’s from Chief Liu.”


    Qiu Yuluo opened her phone to find only a few images and no apanying text.


    The images showed the Freemason building engulfed in mes.


    “Damn, he actually set the Freemason building on fire by himself.”


    “I figured he had us leave to create the illusion of a full withdrawal, allowing the enemy to rx, only for him to strike when they least expected it,” Qiu Yuluo remarked.


    “Phew…”


    Ning Che exhaled deeply. “The mission isplete now. I bet Lin Yi is already thinking of a way to return to the country.”


    Qiu Yuluo nodded. “I suspect he might head to the embassy. I’ll get in touch with the relevant authorities to see if they have any news of him.”


    “Either way, there’s no need to worry. The mission is over, and leaving London shouldn’t be a problem for him.”<div>


    About ten hourster, the nended in Zhonghai, and Ji Qingyan, along with the others, was safely dropped off.


    “President Ji, you don’t need to worry about Lin Yi,” Qiu Yuluo said earnestly.


    “He’ll be back soon. I promise, with my life, that there won’t be any safety issues.”


    “I don’t want to hear about this anymore,” Ji Qingyan responded.


    “I just want Lin Yi to leave your organization. From today onward, don’t contact him again. Let him live a peaceful life as an ordinary person.”


    The members of the Central Guard Brigade fell silent.


    It was a selfish request, but none of them could give her an answer, nor did they have the right to me her.


    After all, she wasn’t wrong. Love was inherently selfish.


    Perhaps the real faulty with Lin Yi himself.


    He was just too exceptional.


    “President Ji, rest assured. I’ll bring this matter to our superiors,” Qiu Yuluo said.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Ji Qingyan nodded slightly. “Thank you for bringing me back.”


    “It’s our duty.”<div>


    Seeing Ji Qingyan in such a poor state, Qi Xianzhao stepped forward, exchanging a few polite words with Qiu Yuluo. Afterward, the two groups went their separate ways.


    Before leaving, Qiu Yuluo left her phone number with Qi Xianzhao.


    He asked him to contact her if he heard any news about Lin Yi.


    About two hourster, the nended at the Yanjing airport.


    Unusually, Liu Hong himself came to greet them.


    The nine of them split into three cars.


    Liu Hong, Qiu Yuluo, and Ning Che rode in the front car.


    “Do you have any news about Lin Yi?” Liu Hong asked.


    “Hmm? Didn’t he contact you?” Ning Che replied.


    “No, I haven’t heard anything. His phone hasn’t been reachable,” Liu Hong said, puzzled.


    “Did you call the embassy? The mission isplete, so he should have found a way to contact us by now,” Qiu Yuluo said, sounding concerned.


    “Damn it. No news at all? Do you think something happened to him?” Ning Che asked nervously.
