"The defensive array has been activated and used, which means you have been attacked." Li Meng said after checking the surroundings.
Lin Shi examined the dead secret guard and said
"This person is not one of ours. This person is an assassin."
As soon as the two of them said this, the more than 20 secret guards present immediately reacted.
Especially the first secret guard who arrived at the scene, after checking it himself, he immediately realized that he had misunderstood.
"Who arrived at the scene first?"
"Captain, it's me."
"Lin Bai, is it you? It was you who made the judgment that Lord Lin Yang killed the secret guards and escaped?" Lin Shi frowned and asked
Lin Bai was one of his most promising successors, but he didn't expect that he would make such a hasty judgment. He was the first to arrive at the scene, but he didn't track in time and missed the best opportunity to track.
"Yes, Captain."
Lin Shi asked in a deep voice
"Why?"
Why did he make such a hasty judgment? Why did he miss the best opportunity to track him? This was completely different from the usual Lin Bai. Lin Shi needed to know the reason so that he could eliminate his suspicion of Lin Bai.
Lin Bai was not convinced.
"As the most elite secret guards, we're not here to protect some dandy boy. A dandy boy goes to the battlefield and needs an entire squadron of us to protect him. Isn't it just because he has a good father? I don't accept it."
The Lin family has developed rapidly in the past decade, and Lin Fan has risen even faster. His rise has blocked the way of some people. He has many enemies both inside and outside the family.
Out of protection for Lin Yang, his achievements were not made public within the family.
Although the top leaders of the family knew about it, and the top leaders of other forces also knew what they should know, everyone tacitly agreed not to speak out.
The low-level cultivators in the family, the low-level cultivators in other forces, the cultivators in small forces, the independent cultivators and even ordinary people have no idea about the changes in the cultivation world in the past ten years. The rapid development of the Lin family is because of Lin Yang.
Obviously, for some reason, he didn't tell these secret guards, but Lin Shi and Li Meng knew about it.
As Lin Yang's personal assistant, Li Meng and Lin Yang share a common destiny. She had previously disagreed with the secrecy surrounding Lin Yang's contributions, but this major blunder had made her even more determined to change.
Change starts now.
"A dandy boy? What a joke! Do you know how much Lin Yang has contributed to the family? Do you know..."
Lin Shi interrupted
"Assistant Li, that's the family's decision. Whether it's right or wrong, we must carry it out. Don't make mistakes!"
"It's my own fault! Is it me or you guys who are wrong? You know it clearly. Captain Lin Shi, you know Lin Yang's identity and his importance to the family. Have you considered the consequences?"
Lin Shi's face was already livid, and Li Meng's words made it even uglier. Fortunately, the mask blocked it, so others couldn't see it. However, cultivators have very keen perceptions and can sense that Lin Shi's condition is very bad at the moment.
Those who were able to become the elites among the secret guards were naturally not fools or idiots. Through the conversation between the two people and Lin Shi's condition, it was roughly understood that Lin Yang was not a playboy. On the contrary, he might be the core figure that the family focused on.
Moreover, they were the kind that were carefully hidden by the family. The hidden members of the family were either the family's great sinners or the family's great contributors.
Obviously, Lin Yang belonged to the latter. And because of a misunderstanding, they missed the best time to track him.
Every secret guard present was startled, and when they thought about the fact that their most elite secret guards in the Jindan stage were mobilized to protect Lin Yang, it was obvious how much importance the family attached to him.
They had actually made a wrong judgment based on some family gossip. They hadn't considered the pros and cons, the crux of the matter. This matter was serious.
Especially the first secret guard who arrived, he had already understood that no matter whether Lin Yang was found or not, or whether he was safe or not, he was the main culprit and would definitely die.
Lin Bai's heart was suddenly filled with despair, and his eyes were lifeless.
With his family in the family and the constraints of the Heavenly Dao Contract, he dared not even run away. The best outcome now was to die gloriously in battle to wash away his sins.
Li Meng saw that he was surrounded by Lin Shi's secret guards. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he immediately stopped thinking about fighting.
"Master must have had a misunderstanding about the family, which is why he lost the token. Lin Shi, no matter what, Master's safety is the most important thing. Master must not get into trouble. Otherwise, the Lin family will be doomed." Li Meng said anxiously.
"I understand. I'm trying to find a way." Lin Shi was also very anxious. He knew the importance of Lin Yang better than Li Meng.
However, because the assassin attacked Lin Yang posing as a secret guard, he misunderstood the secret guard and even his family, and the token was lost. It is now too difficult to find it.
"We can only use a stupid method. Everyone splits up and searches. Divide into five groups of six. One group will provide support on the spot and wait for Lin Yang to return after he has communicated with us. The other four groups will search in four directions respectively and meet again in six hours to analyze and summarize."
The secret guards worked in perfect harmony and quickly divided into five groups. Lin Shi chose the direction that Lin Yang was most likely to go.
"Captain Lin Shi, what about me?" The secret guards had a tacit understanding and excluded Li Meng, so Li Meng had to ask directly.
"You stay where you are. If Lord Lin Yang has any questions, he may return here to observe. When the time comes, you will be here to explain it clearly."
Some things were left unsaid, but everyone understood. The biggest problem now was Lin Yang's distrust of them. Li Meng was Lin Yang's personal assistant, so relatively speaking, Lin Yang trusted her a little more.
Li Meng understood Lin Shi's intentions, but she also understood her own situation. To Lin Yang, she wasn't a trusted subordinate. At most, she was an acquaintance. Perhaps even someone he considered a spy.
Although Li Meng didn't know about the parasitic existence in Lin Yang's soul, she could feel that the family's attitude towards Lin Yang was both respectful and cautious, and Lin Yang was also wary of the family.
What goes up must come down. What goes up must come down. The current situation is not accidental, but inevitable.
That's why I made up my mind to change this situation. But now the situation is critical, and everything must be done under the premise of Lin Yang's safe return.
My cultivation level is the lowest and I have the least experience. I can't help with the search and may even cause trouble. This arrangement is not bad. I am doing what I can do. I immediately responded.
"Okay, I'll stay here."
Lin Shi was surprised by Li Meng's straightforwardness, but there was no time for reflection. He gave a few instructions to the other groups and immediately set off to search. Please search on WeChat or wait for your invitation.
