Chapter 2493: Chapter 2488: Joint Operation

Very obedient.

Mr. Laurie Sr. has gone to such lengths; it would seem impolite not to agree.

No wonder he’s an old hand in the worldly society. When realizing they’ve been set up, a less experienced person might first react with anger.

At worst, out of fear for their own situation, they might attempt to forcefully seek a way out.

But the old man skipped these two stages completely, not even making any futile pleas, and instead focused on what value he could offer.

Very wise.

No matter what identity the person before may have, the ranking might not appear high. What kind of organization is the Rebirth Club?

With the Greedy Worms’ level of intelligence, they should have heard of some recent achievements.

Even if this wasn’t a setup, arranging such a seamless meeting, instead of forcing an entrance via violence, is there another option besides compliance?

Not to mention having such a grasp on their own situation, it’s like being played with at the fingertips.

As for "collaborating in investigating Siren"?

The core reason for proposing this suggestion is clearly because at first glance, the Rebirth Club is interested in Siren’s activities.

The old man’s words have already placed them in a rather passive position, decisively stating no questions about names and purposes, an intuitive representation of such an attitude.

"Do you have people watching Sorondir’s ship?"

Fu Qian was completely unreserved, moving on to the main topic the next moment, confirming the power deployment of the Greedy Worms.

"Yes... Ji Yin is over there."

A bit direct indeed, Brother Shu Lan, whose gaze had been vacant, couldn’t help but glance at Laurie at that moment, and the latter hesitated slightly before even giving a name.

Always charging ahead on the front line?

Fu Qian nodded slightly, recalling that figure who nearly died under the Poison of Tumor Blossom last time.

If that’s the case, then along with Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist, at least four Greedy Worms have come.

"Someone has already noticed him."

...

It’s undoubtedly the truth.

Though unsure what information channel Selana specifically has, clearly not only knowing the Greedy Worms came here but even pinpointing Ji Yin’s name, and even attempting to directly seize them on board.

However, the stance here seems uncertain, doubting which side the Greedy Worms stand on.

Honestly, it’s a bit odd, though this alone is enough to frighten people.

"...Sorondir?"

After hearing Fu Qian’s words clearly, even someone as shrewd as Laurie couldn’t help but feel uncertain and suspicious.

"He indeed also discovered something, so you’re working for Yasui?"

Fu Qian recalled the hole on that ship, which momentarily rendered the situation even more tense.

Additionally, based on Mr. Laurie Sr.’s questioning, the situation presented itself quite clearly.

Definitely not a collaborator, Sorondir is even the primary threat they guard against.

"You truly know a lot..."

Unsurprisingly, his expression turned even uglier, Laurie’s compliment sincere yet deep at that moment.

As for Brother Shu Lan beside him, his eyes flickered, seemingly grateful for the leader’s decision earlier.

"Yes, the reason we’re in Moore is indeed largely related to Yasui... However, we still maintain some degree of autonomy, the focus is more on confidentiality."

Laurie even showcased his worldly experience, continuing to confess before Fu Qian could inquire further after offering his compliment.

It sounds as if they’ve indeed continued their collaboration with Yasui, this time involving even more personnel, although emphasizing freedom.

Additionally, there’s some hint of confidentiality principles, subtly putting off specifics.

"Then continue keeping it confidential."

Although such persistence seemed somewhat weak, as the representative of the Rebirth Club, Fu Qian still demonstrated what it means to have a broad view, indicating the other party may temporarily maintain this principle.

...

Making moves, but doing so subtly.

Just like the previous speculation, Yasui indeed doesn’t wish to let Sorondir succeed in his actions.

Yet for such an important matter, they indeed sought a third party to intervene?

Just this one point seems to reek of suspicion immensely.

Clearly, Siren and Yasui both hold peculiar attitudes towards what Sorondir is seeking.

As for why, despite such curiosity-inducing places, they still permit the Greedy Worms to maintain confidentiality?

It’s simple, isn’t it obvious they’ve recently formed a partnership? Instead of listening to what they say, Fu Qian is more interested in what they’ll do soon.

"Thank you for understanding... and for the reminder. Shall we go check on Ji Yin’s situation now?"

Mr. Laurie Sr. indeed read the situation well, almost surprised yet delighted by the Rebirth Club’s demeanor, quickly suggesting the next course of action.

So, the perception shared module hasn’t been activated?

Judging by previous reactions, it does indeed align with this assessment.

However, even during such perilous times, maintaining this restrictive self-operation—isn’t this being a bit too bold-hearted?

Sighing silently internally, Fu Qian did not point it out, only smiled and made a gesture.

"Lead the way."

...

Ji Yin hiding in such a place?

The joint operation proceeded more smoothly than imagined, and Mr. Laurie Sr. was straightforward when dealing with approachable Rebirth Club elites, immediately leading the way.

Even Brother Shu Lan wasn’t left behind to guard the place, he too was asked to tag along.

Upon leaving, expectedly, they headed straight toward the docks.

Unlike the others left here to study the slaughterhouse, Brother Ji Yin is once again charging at the forefront this time?

When the team stopped after a while, such feelings became more pronounced.

Not even settling at a corner near the docks but directly over water.

The weather remained clear, Laurie gazed from afar at a large ship moored in the harbor, his expression solemn.

It didn’t set sail as the storm subsided, obviously this passenger liner is temporarily stationed here.

Hiding here? On the surface, it’s indeed a logical choice.

According to Laurie, they’ve been monitoring Sorondir’s activities all along, and Ji Yin, who stayed behind, clearly undertakes this task.

Choosing such a place as a residence not only allows immediate control over Siren’s ship movements but also makes hiding much easier.

As can be seen, even now, people are boarding and disembarking in a continuous flow, making their boarding process particularly smooth.

Of course, holding the verification document provided by Laurie, Fu Qian adhered to the request, slightly altering the appearance, overall not as flashy as before.

"Seems like the person isn’t here."

Upon meeting, walking at the forefront, Brother Shu Lan’s face doesn’t appear too well, quietly signaling to Fu Qian and the others.

One can see a round bead in his hand glimmering faintly, likely a kind of communication tool.
