Chapter 3645 - 3637: He Killed Himself
Chapter 3645: Chapter 3637: He Killed Himself
"But this situation is very unusual. Zhang Jinquan’s behavior is too bizarre. I think we should find a way to intervene."
"Let’s wait a little longer. I’m afraid doing this might hit Mammon’s soft spot."
"This matter is indeed a bit contradictory."
Qiu Yuluo leaned back in her chair, "These people really know how to mess with your mind."
Szzz—
At this moment, the sound of Xiao Bing came from the communicator.
"Lin Bro, Zhang Jinquan is coming out."
Lin Yi’s face showed a look of seriousness.
He instinctively looked towards the hotel entrance.
"Report his movements at any time."
"Understood."
Lin Yi fastened his seatbelt and looked at the entrance, speaking to himself:
"Zhang Jinquan is coming out; he might be about to take action."
"We’ve been waiting so many days; Mammon’s people should think he’s safe now and are ready to support him."
"There’s a possibility of that. Let’s see how the situation unfolds first."
Soon, Lin Yi saw Zhang Jinquan walking out from inside.
Upon seeing him again, both Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo were a bit surprised.
In just a few days, he seemed like a different person.
He was no longer hiding.
Without a mask, boldly exposing himself to the sunlight.
His hair was messy, like straw.
Strands of it stuck together.
With his extraordinary visual ability, Lin Yi saw that Zhang Jinquan’s eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
Clearly, he hadn’t had much rest these past days.
His beard had grown out, looking scruffy.
Yet in this state, Lin Yi unexpectedly saw a glimmer of joy in his eyes.
Despite being unkempt.
He seemed relaxed and at ease.
Lin Yi kept watching him, unsure if it was his own illusion or if Zhang Jinquan’s state was naturally like this.
But this state didn’t seem right and didn’t match the expected actions.
After leaving the hotel, Zhang Jinquan walked to the roadside far away.
He hailed a car, but it was unclear where he was headed.
Lin Yi drove the car and quietly followed.
Qiu Yuluo lit a cigarette and gestured towards Lin Yi.
"Want a cigarette to refresh yourself?"
"Okay."
Qiu Yuluo handed the lit cigarette to Lin Yi and then lit one for herself.
"Did you see how he hailed the car just now? It was like a normal person; this should be his own actions, unrelated to Mammon."
"But where he goes next might be related to Mammon."
"Exactly."
Lin Yi drove the car, following the taxi that Zhang Jinquan took to the seaside.
Meanwhile, members from Team One and Team Two also rushed over from other places.
Lin Yi opened the communicator and said:
"Group two to two boats, ready to head out to sea at any time."
At a place like this, Lin Yi suspected they might have some actions at sea.
Although the possibility wasn’t high, they still had to be prepared.
Soon, Zhang Jinquan’s car stopped by the dockside.
The two waited nearby, watching him.
He was negotiating with a proprietor.
Although it was unclear what was said, their transaction quickly finalized.
Under the proprietor’s guidance, they went to a small boat.
The proprietor gave a few instructions, and Zhang Jinquan boarded the boat himself.
His driving skills were quite proficient as he easily steered the boat away.
Lin Yi opened the communicator, "Everyone keep an eye out, Mammon’s people might appear at any time."
"Understood!"
Lin Yi took out binoculars, observing Zhang Jinquan’s every move.
Seeing his speed was quick, heading toward a distant coastline.
Qiu Yuluo was doing the same.
"Judging by this, it doesn’t look like he’s out for leisure; it definitely looks like a meet-up."
Qiu Yuluo also opened the communicator.
"Everyone be careful, do not expose yourselves. Once Mammon’s people appear, just track their movements. Team Leader Lin and I will be at the coast to respond and follow."
"Understood."
As time passed, Zhang Jinquan was moving further away from the shore.
In Lin Yi’s binoculars, he had become a small dot.
The two almost simultaneously put down the binoculars.
They had to wait for news from Xiao Bing’s side.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Bing’s voice came through.
"Lin Bro, he stopped moving, sitting on the boat smoking. I hadn’t noticed before; now he seems a bit melancholic. With that hairstyle, he looks like a poet."
"Just focus on the task at hand, poet or not."
"Got it."
Three hours passed without any new developments.
Zhang Jinquan just sat there, continuously smoking.
Even Lin Yi felt he resembled a poet.
As a defector, every action was unexpected for Lin Yi.
In Lin Yi’s view, it didn’t seem like something he would do.
"Don’t you think this is absurd? If he truly was meeting with Mammon, he wouldn’t stay at sea for so long, right?"
"That’s also something I can’t understand; I’m genuinely clueless about his plan now."
This was the first time someone had made Lin Yi feel powerless.
"Could it be his mental state is disturbed?"
"There’s a possibility."
The two leaned against the car, waiting for further news.
Soon enough, Xiao Bing exclaimed excitedly.
"Lin Bro, Sister Qiu’s situation isn’t right. Zhang Jinquan dismantled the machine on the boat."
"Hmm? Dismantled the machine?"
"Yes, it seems to be the engine."
"What’s going on? How’s he supposed to get back?"
"I don’t know either."
Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo were left bewildered.
"This is getting more absurd."
While the two were still stunned, Xiao Bing shouted through the communicator:
"Something’s wrong! He tied the engine to himself and jumped into the sea to kill himself!"
"Damn!"
Lin Yi’s tone heightened.
"Hurry and save him; he absolutely can’t die!"
"Understood!"
Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo exchanged a glance.
The latter said:
"It seems we all guessed wrong; he came here not for a meeting but like he wanted to commit suicide."
"If it’s about suicide, it could barely explain things, but one thing doesn’t fit the logic."
Lin Yi recalled the events of the past few days.
"If he truly intended to kill himself, there was no need to stay locked in the room for so long."
"If during these days he was reflecting, even regretting, and found none of it helpful, finally deciding on suicide to resolve himself, it does make sense," Qiu Yuluo analyzed.
"Barely conceivable, but why did he escape to such a place? That’s also somewhat illogical," Lin Yi pondered.
"Regardless, we can only assume this for now; let’s rescue him first."
"All we can do now is hope they’re fast enough. If he dies, the clues are gone."
