Chapter 5117: Meeting brother Dafeng

After all, old Lin was his only elder relative-he had to let old Lin take a look at the island since he was planning to make it his base. As for Lin Yi, he went to another place to see Dafeng bro himself.
In the vast ocean, a luxury cruise ship sailed slowly. Its speed was almost reduced to the extreme, and from afar, it did not seem to be moving at all.
“It looks luxurious on the outside, but there’s a mystery hidden inside. No one would have thought that such a luxurious cruise ship was actually a branch of the red conch. Brother Dafeng, you’re really bold.” Lin Yi held onto the railing and looked into the distance-the blue sky and the vast ocean stretched as far as the eye could see. Even with his eyesight, he couldn’t find a third item.
“Hehe, boss Lin Yi, don’t underestimate my luxury cruise. It’s using the most advanced technology, and all communication signals are hidden. Even the satellites in the sky can’t detect it. Plus, this is international waters, they can’t reach that far.” Brother Dafeng chuckled as he followed behind.
“I mean, you actually dared to invite me here. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?” Lin Yi looked at him and said. The people he had to be careful of here were obviously the people from central. Whether it was the red conch or the Firewolf gang, the two were basically the same organization, they were both branches of central. For Dafeng bro, the real danger came from Central’s headquarters. After all, he was Lin Yi’s spy now.
“Don’t worry, boss Lin Yi-this branch is full of trusted people, and they have a lot of power. As long as we don’t report it, even the headquarters won’t know our exact location,” Brother Dafeng said confidently.
“Oh? Do you know the exact location of the headquarters?” Lin Yi asked. Ever since he found the central Chamber of Commerce on Sky Class Island, he’d become more and more interested in central. It was rare for his spirit to be projected back to the common world, and he even wanted to sneak into the headquarters to see what was going on.
“I really don’t know. It’s said that the headquarters ‘location isn’t fixed. Only the people at the headquarters know the exact location.” Brother Dafeng shook his head and said with a bitter smile,”All these years, the central headquarters has let us do whatever we want, and we’re also very secretive about it. Other than the routine reports from time to time, we basically have no contact with them. Even if it’s a routine report, it’s only through satellite communication. To be honest, I still don’t know what the higher-ups look like.”
“Then can you think of a way?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but frown-central was being so careful, even in front of their own organization. It was unexpected.
“To be honest, boss Lin, I’ve been trying this ever since I received your letter from Sky Class island two years ago. I’ve tried many ways, but none of them succeeded. The one half a year ago was the closest to success, and the higher-ups were even calling me to meet them at the headquarters, but I don’t know why they suddenly stopped me. It’s such a pity …” Dafeng bro couldn’t help but sigh.
It wasn’t just to get information for Lin Yi-even he was curious about the headquarters himself. Everyone had a thirst for knowledge, and the more mysterious the headquarters was, the more people like him wanted to find out. It was human nature.
“There’s such a thing?” “There must be a reason for the sudden halt. Are you getting suspicious?” Lin Yi asked after some thought.
“It can’t be!” Brother Dafeng was shocked. He shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. If the higher-ups were really suspicious of me, they would’ve taken action long ago. How could there be no news for half a year?”
“That’s true …” Lin Yi nodded. If central was really an extremely secretive organization, they’d definitely get rid of the roots as soon as they got suspicious. They couldn’t just wait for half a year without doing anything. It seemed like he was overthinking things.
“To be honest, boss, your sudden return this time is too surprising. I thought you were joking when you called me before. I didn’t expect it to be true …” Brother Dafeng said with a smile.
“It’s been hard on you these past few years. ” Lin Yi sighed. Although he didn’t ask Dafeng to do anything particularly dangerous these few years, just the sensitive identity of being a spy was already a huge risk even if he didn’t do anything. Not to mention, he still had to find a way to find out about Central’s headquarters. Every attempt he made before was actually a risk. It was a dangerous job that put his head on his waist, and ordinary people might not be able to withstand such huge pressure.
“What are you saying, boss Lin Yi? this is what I should do.” Brother Dafeng chuckled.
Lin Yi patted his shoulder hard. In fact, other than showing that he had full control of the branch, Lin Yi could guess the other reason why Dafeng bro asked him to meet him here-to show his loyalty.
Being a spy was a job that lacked security and a sense of belonging. Dafeng bro was a traitor to central, but to Lin Yi and the others, he might not be fully trusted. After all, no one knew if he would betray them again.
As a spy, the best way to show his loyalty was to provide important information, but because Central’s headquarters was too mysterious, Dafeng bro couldn’t find any valuable information these years. Now that he was suddenly summoned by Lin Yi, it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t worried at all. That was why they met on the cruise today.
This meant that Dafeng bro was showing everything he had to Lin Yi. If he wanted to betray Lin Yi again in the future, these lackeys in the cruise ship branch alone would be a fatal threat. If any one of them leaked information to Lin Yi, he would die without a burial.
Doing things this way was no different from pledging his allegiance. Lin Yi could trust Dafeng bro’s loyalty 100%, but he would have to pay a huge price for it. He was walking on a tightrope. If one of the lackeys in this branch wasn’t reliable and secretly reported to the central headquarters, he would also die without a burial place.
However, he believed in his control. He was the only one in the entire cruise ship branch who had the contact information with the central headquarters, and even then, it was a one-sided contact. Only the central headquarters could send him orders, and he couldn’t call the central headquarters at any time. So, even if there was a traitor among his subordinates, it wouldn’t be easy to tip them off. The risk wasn’t as high as he thought. (To be continued.) ”
