Ye Longlin hadn't expected Frick's involvement in this matter.
Now that overseas personnel were involved, the nature of the incident had changed.
It was now an international organ trafficking case!
"Contact Interpol and initiate a joint investigation involving multiple countries."
Ye Longlin said slowly. Since Frick was confirmed as the ultimate culprit, there was no need for further action. As for the insignificant ant before him, he was no longer important.
Qian Youcai had little use left, his only remaining value was to provide information about the people involved in the transportation process, contributing to the completion of the evidence chain.
Just then, a gunshot echoed!
Qian Youcai's spirit lifted. "You guys are fin..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was shot in the head and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
He couldn't fathom why his own men would kill him!
Ye Longlin narrowed his eyes, looking towards the middle of a building where a glint of reflection flashed and disappeared.
"Effective range nine hundred meters, caliber 5.56, manufactured in the United States, an MK12 sniper rifle. It seems Frick's men are silencing witnesses, likely to prevent the investigation from reaching him."
The encrypted frequency they had used earlier was incapable of recording, so that option was out.
Even though he now knew Frick was the mastermind, he couldn't prosecute without a complete evidence chain.
"Regardless of the country, even in free nations, organ trafficking is a serious crime. Therefore, at present, we have no way to convict them. Without a complete evidence chain, it wouldn't hold up even internationally. That's why they resorted to eliminating him.
It's widely known globally that our investigation speed is among the best, if not the best. Once a case is opened, many things will be exposed quickly. At that point, Frick would face pursuit from several top countries, a situation he wouldn't want."
Ye Longlin nodded. This was the truth, and it was also the primary reason Frick had made the call. However, he couldn't understand why Frick had called him.
Logically, if Frick hadn't called, he wouldn't have known the mastermind. But this call had revealed the mastermind... Could it be that Frick had someone behind him?
Ye Longlin narrowed his eyes. After the situation was properly handled, he had the Dragon Pavilion soldiers leave.
"Boss, the news has broken. All local news in Xingcheng are reporting Lin Langsheng's death. There are also instigators behind this matter, but it's unclear who they are. They are still investigating."
Yuan Gang handed him his phone, and upon opening it, he saw that the news was indeed marked with a 'breaking' tag.
"Let's put the news aside for now; it's a factual event. I need to examine Uncle Lin's body. You guys stand guard here."
The mastermind, unaware of the current situation, might directly send people to seize the body.
"Understood."
After entering the hospital, Ye Longlin wheeled Lin Langsheng's body into the operating room and began the dissection.
The technique of using silver needles to detect poison was an ancient medical practice.
However, due to the short length of the needles, they couldn't reach the internal organs, necessitating dissection.
Silver needles appeared on the operating table, and were quickly inserted into the body's organs.
Soon, the surfaces of all the silver needles turned black!
This proved that Lin Langsheng had indeed died from poisoning, not from natural causes!
"No matter who you are, you have crossed my bottom line."
A chilling aura flashed in Ye Longlin's eyes as he began to stitch up the body.
After leaving the operating room, Ye Longlin appeared considerably grim.
Outside, Yuan Gang stood guard, sitting resolutely at the hospital entrance. Facing him were a group of menacing men, their gazes unfriendly.
"Kid, I advise you to step aside. In front of the Golden Dragon, your flimsy build is nothing. One punch from me could kill you!"
A scrawny man spoke, sneering, completely looking down on Yuan Gang.
A circular mark was visible on his neck.
The twenty-odd men surrounded Yuan Gang, the marks on their necks clearly visible.
They were all war criminals.
Just as the boss had predicted, someone had indeed come to seize the body.
They couldn't sit still any longer.
"I'm more interested in knowing who is behind you. You're so afraid of being investigated; it seems you operate in the shadows!"
Yuan Gang chuckled coldly, pointing at the unseen culprits.
"Damn it, do you little things have the right to ask who's behind us? What the hell are you? I'm warning you, get lost immediately!"
Yuan Gang paused, then burst into laughter. "I find you all to be all talk and no action. More than twenty people surrounding me, and you're still talking. Aren't you going to act? A bunch of insignificant trash."
It was a principle Ye Longlin had taught him: if you can act, don't just talk.
Hearing this, many of the men present were visibly angered, their eyes burning with rage.
The man leading them looked at Yuan Gang with a cold gaze. "A good-for-nothing like you isn't worthy of us making a move. Little Qin, let him know the harsh realities of society."
The leader was a rather frail middle-aged man, gaunt from drug use.
Little Qin stepped forward, a sinister smile on his face. "Little thing, luckily we're in a hospital, otherwise you wouldn't live to see today!"
As he spoke, he stamped his foot, kicking off the ground, and a vortex of air appeared beneath him. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Yuan Gang, a straight punch aimed at his face.
"Little shrimp."
Yuan Gang casually clenched his hand, catching Little Qin's fist. Then, he squeezed hard.
A cracking sound echoed immediately.
"Ah—"
Little Qin let out a scream, and before the cry ended, another kick landed on his chest, and another crack sounded.
"Going to the ICU might be you, huh?"
Yuan Gang scoffed, looking up to see Ye Longlin leaning against the second-floor balcony, a cigarette between his fingers, watching the fight below with amusement.
"They're a bit troublesome. All of you, attack!"
Seeing this, the middle-aged leader frowned and immediately ordered everyone to attack.
"Numbers don't make up for everything."
Ye Longlin watched from above with interest, waiting for Yuan Gang to deal with the men below before questioning who the mastermind was.
No matter who was behind this, they wouldn't escape!
"Speed it up; we still need to send Uncle Lin back."
