"Shouldn't be the case," Qiu Yuluo responded.
"If something had really happened to Lin Yi, the Freemasons wouldn't have missed the chance to make a move. They would have publicly broadcasted the news by now. It's been more than ten hours, and there's been no word. That's not possible if they had him."
Both sides understood well that this was an unprecedented clash.
Since the conflict hadn't escalated into a full-blown crisis, whoever suffered losses would have to endure it quietly.
If the Freemasons had truly captured Lin Yi, they wouldn't care about his status as a team leader in the Central Guard Brigade.
To put it bluntly, they might have dismembered him without hesitation.
As Qiu Yuluo said, if Lin Yi had been captured, the news would have spread globally in a matter of hours.
"That's exactly the problem. The mission is complete, but there's been no news. What on earth is he up to?" Ning Che remarked.
