Lin Yuan entered Ji Bieqing's secret passage and then quietly left the Eradication Department.
He did not disturb anyone along the way.
Lin Yuan didn't immediately leave the Imperial Capital; instead, he found a cheap motel that didn't require identity registration and settled in.
Actually, Ji Bieqing's previous concerns were not unfounded.
Although the task had fallen onto Lin Yuan's shoulders, he lacked any form of experience and was truly groping in the dark.
Moreover, after the earlier incident involving Xie Tianyi, the unexpected cooperation from the Xie Clan, and the military's now smoothly executed complete takeover, it was a clear sign that Ji Bieqing's prior tip-off was misguided.
Ji Bieqing believed that Lin Yuan was truly talented, speculating how quickly he had found clues, but Lin Yuan knew his own situation best; if it weren't for the key left by Xie Tianyi, and if not for their internal strife, he probably wouldn't even be able to present a reasonable plan.
