In a corner of the bar sat two young women.
The person who spoke was Gu Yiran, whom Lin Yi met when he bought the car in the afternoon.
Beside her was a woman who was about her age.
Her hair wasnt long, just reaching her shoulders. She had a good-looking oval face, giving off the vibe of a girl next door.
The girls name was Gong Xiaoyun, and she was Gu Yirans good friend.
However, after graduation, one went to work in Zhonghai while the other stayed in Yuhang.
Its mainly because theres a party here today. With so many people here, well definitely have a good time tonight. If 1 hadnt booked a seat in advance, I probably wouldnt have been able to snatch this ce, Gong Xiaoyun said with a ss of wine in her hand.
Tsk, if you cant help it, you cant help it. Why cant you just recognize yourself for what you are? Dont keep looking for excuses.
Were the same kind of person. Lets not talk about each other. Gong Xiaoyun said.
After drinking too muchst time, you kept saying that you wouldnt drink again. When 1 invited you today, didnt youe eagerly?
I saidst time that 1 wont drink so much next time, but 1 didnt say that 1 wouldnt drink anymore.
Alright, alright. Stop with the excuses. Weve known each other for so many years. I know you too well, Gong Xiaoyun said with a smile.
Look at the wine on the table. Although 1 asked you toe, you drank more than I did.
Lets not talk about that.
Gu Yiran waved her hand impatiently, Even if you hadnt called me out today, I would have called you to go out for drinks.
What, is this a farewell party before you leave?
Were so close, why would we need a farewell party? Gu Yiran said.
I ran into some annoying trouble today. I got so mad my period nearly went haywire.
Gong Xiaoyun held her ss, What happened, who made our Beauty Gu so upset?
My brother was nning to buy a car, and I went with him today. 1 was thinking of driving it myself for a few months after we bought it, we found that there was only onest one avable. While we were negotiating the price, two people came and bought it right in front of us. It was infuriating.
They bought the car right in front of you? Thats a little infuriating.
Exactly. Gu Yiran said.
In any case, its quite despicable. If 1 still want to buy it, 111 have to wait for another five months. Ive waited for so long for nothing.
Didnt you guyse first? You should be the ones to get to buy it.
Lets not talk about it. He paid the full price and bought the car without even discussing the price. The whole thing only took ten minutes.
F*ck, a car worth more than a million yuan was bought in less than ten minutes? Hes definitely a tycoon.
Tsk, what tycoon? Hes just a sugar baby.
Huh? Why is he suddenly a sugar baby?
That man was handsome and was being around kept by a rich woman. The rich woman bought him a car worth more than one million yuan without thinking. Do you understand now? Gu Yiran said while drinking.
Isnt this quite normal in todays society? Gong Xiaoyun said.
I remember thatst year, there was a man who wanted to provide for you. He said that he would give you 100,000 yuan a month.
F*ck, dont mention this. 1 regret that 1 only pped him! Gu Yiran scolded.
Damn it, am 1 only worth 100,000 yuan?
Thats right. Just these two thighs alone will entertain him for half a year. 1 have to be at least 200,000 yuan.
Go, go, go. Get lost, lets just drink.
The two of them clinked sses. After venting, they felt much better.
At this moment, they suddenly heard amotion in the bar.
Theyre here, theyre here. Sister Bing and the rest are here.
With this exmation, the atmosphere in the bar became much livelier.
At the same time, it attracted the attention of Gu Yiran and Gong Xiaoyun.
The star of the show is here. The party is about to begin.
At the same time, Lin Yi and Xiao Bing walked in.
It immediately caused a series of exmations, especially among the girls present.
Oh my god, this little brother is too handsome.
I refused to work overtime. 1 especially came here to see such a good-looking little brother. What a good decision.
In the corner, Gong Xiaoyun looked at Lin Yi with shining eyes.
She looked so infatuated that she was almost drooling.
Looking like this, his looks are too heaven-defying. He leaves no room for other men!
Its him!
Gu Yirans exmation made Gong Xiaoyun regain her senses.
Whats wrong? What are you talking about? Do you know each other?
Gu Yirans face darkened.
Hes the pretty boy 1 was talking about. The woman next to him is very rich. She bought him a car.
It cant be. What a coincidence. How could you meet again like this?
Im not drinking anymore. Lets go somewhere else.
Why do you care if hes a sugar baby? Its not as lively anywhere else. Hurry up and calm down. Be careful not to get breast cancer. Gong Xiaoyun said.
However, its a pity that such a handsome man is now a sugar baby.
I guess you really reap what you sow.
Gong Xiaoyun nodded nomittally, agreeing with her best friend.
With such a heaven-defying appearance, no matter what job he did, he would receive special treatment.
There was no guarantee of riches, but it was more than enough to maintain a normal life.
At the same time, when they saw the two of them enter, arge number of girls present surrounded them, wanting to admire Lin Yis beautiful face up close.
Come,e,e. Let me introduce you. Xiao Bing called out loudly.
This person in front of you is my Brother Lin.. Sisters, tonight, show me your skills and apany my Brother Lin!

Chapter 1621: Drinking Competition
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
What do you mean Brother Lin;? I feel that the rtionship between the two of you is abnormal. You should have slept together, right? Hehe A yellow-haired girl said.
Yeah, I slept with him more than once.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Xiao Bing did not care too much. After all, Lin Yis girlfriend and sister-inw were not here.
Look, what did I say? The blonde girl said.
Weve known each other for so many years. Who here doesnt know the other? Why are you still pretending? Its obvious that your rtionship isnt simple.
Its more than that. 1 can just be honest with you, Xiao Bing said without any scruples.
Let me tell you, my Brother Lins skills are quite good. From dark to dawn, he was like a pile driver. I couldnt get out of bed.
Gu Yiran rolled her eyes, Disgusting, dont you have any shame?
Dont be cynical. The lives of the rich are like this. Its not something we can think about.
Tsk
At the entrance of the bar, everyone weed Lin Yi and Xiao Bing.
Bingbing, are you sure youre not fooling us? Was he really like a pile driver?
Of course. The speed of a sewing machine and the strength of a pile driver, Xiao Bing said mysteriously.
If you dont believe me, try getting him drunk. I guarantee that youll be ecstatic.
Hehe, then we wont stand on ceremony.
The girls Xiao Bing found were all very bold. They took the initiative to pull Lin Yi to the dance floor and twisted their bodies around him, boldly initiating physical contact.
What are they doing? Gu Yiran asked.
Hes already with that rich woman, why is he still having so much fun with other women? And that rich woman doesnt even care?
Considering youre someone whos seen the world, how do you not know about this? Havent you seen it during crackdowns on prostitution? Gong Xiaoyun asked.
What does this have to do with crackdowns on prostitution?
Do you think these kinds of rtionships are like normal dating? Its just for fun, for kicks, Gong Xiaoyun said.
Moreover, their circle of wealthy women is all about sharing. Once they hook a wealthy man, they all y together. Thats pretty much how it goes.
Eh
Gu Yiran had goosebumps all over his body, I feel disgusted just thinking about it.
What are you so disgusted about? Its not like a bunch of women are toying with you. Gong Xiaoyun winked and said, But 1 did fantasize that a bunch of men would do it to me. Haha Im sinning.
Damn, why do I have a friend like you? Youre too dirty.
You just havent experienced that feeling. When you have a boyfriend, he might get even crazier than me.
Im not like you.
The music in the bar continued, but not long after, Lin Yi returned to his seat near the dance floor.
He wasnt under so much pressure. He didnt need to go to the middle of the dance floor to release himself. He just needed to have some simple fun.
However, it was quite interesting to see the girls flirting.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Yi felt like he couldnt me the ancient emperors for staying with their harems and ignoring the matters of government.
Anyone who had experienced this before would know what it felt like.
If it were him, he would probably die in less than a month.
Brother Lin, weve only yed for a while. Why are you stopping? A long-haired girl said sweetly.
This thing doesnt suit me. You guys go ahead first.
But if you dont y too, itll be boring for us.
Thats easy.
Lin Yi called the waiter over. Open ten bottles of Ace of Spades for the girls present to liven things up.
Holy sh*t!
Seeing Lin Yi open ten bottles of Ace of Spades, everyone present eximed.
How generous!
This little brother is not bad. Hes quite generous. Gong Xiaoyun said.
The extravagance has nothing to do with him. Its all due to that woman. Hes just pretending to be generous.
Youre right. After all, their rtionship isnt normal.
Because of Lin Yis act of opening ten bottles of Aces of Spades, the girls in the bar all rushed towards him.
Brother Lin, dont just give us some wine. If you dont drink it, itll be meaningless for us to drink it ourselves.
The long-haired girl held Lin Yis arm, and the big white rabbit kept rubbing against his body.
Disregarding his rtionship with Xiao Bing, she had to get close to such a handsome boy.
Why do you want to drink with me?
Well, Sister Bing made you sound so powerful. Naturally, we want to get you drunk and test your ability.
Brother Lin, her name is Xiao Na. She can hold her liquor very well. She can drink a bottle of Ace of Spades alone. Do you want to try? Xiao Bing pointed at the long-haired girl.
Aiya, Bingbing, you cant goad him like this. What if he cant hold his liquor well and tries to protect his ego? What if he copses after a few sses?
Xiao Bing rocked back and forth inughter. Thats exactly what you want.
You said it yourself. Dont go back on your word if you lose.
Dont you know what kind of person I, Xiao Bing, am? If you can really get him drunk, take him away. Ill help you pay for the room.
Bingbing, youre too much. We can drink too. Why should we give this opportunity to Xiaona?
Thats right. An Ace of Spades is nothing to me. Your Brother Lin is so handsome. We want to fight for this opportunity too.
Seeing that the other two girls were not to be outdone, Lin Yi was a little surprised.
They could drink a whole bottle of Ace of Spades. Their alcohol tolerance must be really good.
Qiqi, Jiajia, its not that I dont want to give you a chance, but the two of you camete, so I had to let Xiao Na try first.
You b*tch, you took advantage of us.
After seeing such a handsome little brother, if the two of you dont take the initiative, how can you me me? The girl named Xiao Na smiled and said.
But dont be anxious. Ill report the situation to you tomorrow morning.
Tsk, consider yourself lucky.
Since the three of you are interested, lets do it together. My greatest strength is that Im fair-weather. You can all join in, Lin Yi said.
Disgusting. Gu Yiran rolled his eyes.
In short, Lin Yi could do no right in her eyes at the moment. Everything was disgusting.
What do you mean? The three women asked in unison.
The three of you will be in Team 1, and Ill be by myself. Then, Ill drink against you guys separately. Whoever falls first will lose.
Holy sh*t!
The bar was filled with exmations again.
Brother Lin, are you sure you can do this? Xiao Bing reminded.
In my circle, their alcohol tolerance is famous. If you lose, the three of them wont let you off. Theyll squeeze you dry.
Im confident of this.
With that, Lin Yi waved his hand and called the waiter over.
Give me another io bottles of Ace of Spades.. All of you, get up!

Chapter 1622:I Admit Defeat
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis heroic spirit ignited the atmosphere in the bar, pushing the party to its peak.
Twenty bottles of Aces of Spades were ced on the table.
The three girls stood on one side of the table, and Lin Yi stood on the other side. They took their stances opposite each other, seemingly ready to start at any time.
Wait a minute, Xiao Bing said.
The three of you cant challenge me without any stakes, right? What if you lose?
Dont you know our alcohol tolerance? Besides, youre taking turns to drink against us. Do you think well lose? The girl named Xiao Na said.
Although your chances of winning are very high, we have to make the rules clear. Only then will it be fair.
This is simple. Its a sure win. What is there to be afraid of?
Xiao Na looked at Lin Yi and pulled down the cor of her clothes.
Im wearing a set of ckce inside. If you beat me, Ill take off this set and give it to you on the spot.
Same for us. Im wearing a thong, the girl named Qiqi said.
Im also wearingce, but its red, said the girl named Jia Jia.
Holy sh*t!
Seeing that the three of them were gambling with such high stakes, cheers sounded in the bar as everyone looked at the four of them.
They felt that no matter who won tonight, this bet would be very interesting. One against three? Arent you afraid of drinking yourself to death? Those who dare to do this usually have good alcohol tolerance. Dont worry about it. Gong Xiaoyun said.
But you could volunteer to join in and then drink him under the table.
I have no interest in joining such games.
Thats true. With your middle-aged auntie style, you wouldnt make it to the stage anyway, so better not embarrass yourself.
Come on, can we not talk about this? As long as Imfortable with what I wear, thats what matters.
Hehe
Hehe, my *ss. Gu Yiran said.
I bet even if I wear middle-aged auntie underwear, Id still have people chasing after me.
Now thats something 1 dont like hearing. I have people chasing after me too, you know.
Oh? Is there some news?
I dont mind telling you, theres a guy at work whos been pursuing me. 1 think hes quite nice, so Ive decided to give it a try, Gong Xiaoyun said.
He even came to pick me up at midnight after his night shift yesterday. Ill introduce you to him sometime.
Not bad. You hid it quite well.
We havent even started dating yet, which is why I didnt tell you.
How about this? When hees, Ill arrange for us to go have somete-night snacks to fill our stomachs, Gu Yiran said.
After a while, when I return to Yuhang, 111 arrange for us to have a nice meal.
I have no problem with someone treating me to a meal.
Cheers.
The two of them clinked their sses repeatedly, but Gu Yirans eyes were on Lin Yi. She was looking forward to the final result.
At the table, Lin Yi held an Ace of Spades and looked at the three women opposite him.
Since youve already made the bet, 1 dont seem to have any reason to refuse. Then lets make a deal. The three of us will take turns drinking with youter. If you lose, youll leave with the three of us tonight. You cantin even if youre exhausted. If we lose, well give you the threads underneath our clothes. Is that okay?
No problem. This is fair.
Xiao Na picked up a bottle of Ace of Spades. Then Ill start first, lest you say that were bullying you.
With that, Xiao Na took the lead and drank.
Gulp, gulp
In less than five minutes, the entire bottle of Ace of Spades was downed.
Little brother, its your turn. Xiao Na winked and said.
Dont let us down.
Lin Yi also picked up a bottle of Ace of Spades and smiled.
I suggest that you take off your clothes now. The result will be the same anyway.
Brother Lin, its meaningless to brag. We sisters will just look down on you.
Alright, lets take it slow. We have plenty of time anyway.
Lin Yi took a bottle of Ace of Spades and finished it in less than a minute.
The onlookers were a little surprised to see Lin Yi drinking so quickly without leaving behind a single drop.
They did not expect this little brother to have such a good alcohol tolerance.
The entire bottle was finished in less than a minute.
Come, whos next?
Little brother, youre not bad. Ill start then.
The girl named Jia Jia picked up a bottle of wine and gulped it down.
Her alcohol tolerance seemed to be slightly better than Xiao Nas. She finished the bottle in two minutes.
Wiping away the wine stains, Jiajia said heroically,
Little brother, its your turn. I hope you can still stay awake after your second bottle.
This is not a big problem.
Lin Yi picked up another bottle of Ace of Spades and poured it into his mouth, ending the battle in a minute.
After drinking two bottles of Aces of Spades in a row and acting as if nothing had happened, everyone present was exceptionally amazed.
Even Gu Yiran, who was far away, was surprised.
His alcohol tolerance was too good!
Come on, next.
At this moment, thest girl named Qiqi stood up and said charmingly,
Little brother, youve already drunk two bottles in a row. Are you sure youre okay?
Hes feeling fine. He should have no problem dealing with the three of you. Seeing that Lin Yis condition was not affected at all, Xiao Bing smiled.
You three little vixens, just wait to be subdued by my Brother Lin tonight.
F*ck, youre actually doubting my Brother Lins strength. None of you will be able to escape tonight.
Come on,e on, haha
After Qiqi finished speaking, she picked up the Ace of Spades beside her hand and drank it too. In about two minutes, she finished the entire bottle.
Naturally, Lin Yi didnt hesitate and also drank a bottle.
Lin Yi drank three bottles without even changing his expression.
Now, everyone believed that this handsome mans alcohol tolerance was really impressive.
Even after taking turns drinking with him, they might not be his match.
Come on, the first round is over, lets start the second round. Lin Yi picked up another bottle of Ace of Spades. Lets save some time this time and drink together.
With that, Lin Yi gulped down another bottle. The three girls were stunned. Because this was almost their limit. If they drank any more, they would pass out.
Come on, its your turn.
Everyones gaze fell on the three girls, looking forward to their next move. What are you three waiting for? Are youying eggs? Xiao Bing asked.
My Brother Lin has finished it. Hurry up.
No, no, 1 really cant drink anymore. Xiao Na said in a daze.
I admit defeat. If I continue, Ill die here.
We cant take it anymore. We can still drink half a bottle, but we definitely cant drink another bottle.
Jiajia and Qiqi said together.
Even though the three of them were very open-minded, they were still rich girls.
Even if they couldnt keep their promise, they couldnt afford to lose consciousness.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Hey, hey, hey, whats up with you three? You cant even finish a round of drinks. Werent you quite arrogant just now?
Its just that we didnt expect your Brother Lin to be so amazing. He drank four bottles of Aces of Spades and is still fine. Who canpare to him? Xiao Na said.
But were also people who can admit defeat. Well keep our word.
Come,e, lets begin. Were all waiting. The surrounding crowd cheered.
Get lost, get lost, get lost! Want to stare at me? Arent you afraid of getting your eyes plucked out? Xiao Na cursed loudly.
Waiter, can you find something to cover us up a bit?
No problem.
The waiter hurried back and brought two sets of curtains that were about to be washed, surrounding the three girls with them.
But from the outside, one could still see their shadowy silhouttes.
Soon, the three of them took off their clothes.
There didnt seem to be any changes on the surface, but if one observed carefully, they would notice some subtle differences.
It was really nice.
Little brother, were keeping our promise. This is for you.
The three women handed over their clothes to Lin Yi, and they were still warm.
The drinking session is over, but dont stop the party. Lets y, Lin Yi called out.
He had worked as a farmer for more than a year. Now that he hadpleted that mission, this was an easy task for him.
So much so that todays fun was a bit wilder than usual.
Wow, this is thrilling, lets get wild, haha
Thats really disgusting, even ying this kind of game. Gu Yiran couldnt help but criticize.
Youre being a bit harsh. Theyre not doing anything out of the ordinary. This kind of game is nothing in a bar. Youre just not used to it because you donte out much, Gong Xiaoyun said.
Isnt this too over the top?
Whats this? Ive even seen people give away sanitary pads, isnt that more disgusting?
Damn, these people are getting more and more perverted.
Drink up. Dont stare at him. Gong Xiaoyun held her wine ss. If I didnt know better, I would have thought that you were going to assassinate him.
Forget it, so be it. We had no money, so we cant me them.
Look, thats right.
The two of them toasted each other, and the party continued.
It was not until past midnight that the number of people gradually decreased.
Lets go. My man is off work. Hell be here soon. Lets go out and wait for him. We can take a breather, Gong Xiaoyun said.
Lets go.
After packing up, the two of them paid the bill and left.
At the same time, Lin Yi and Xiao Bing stood up.
We have other things to do tomorrow. Well leave first. You guys continue ying. Ill pay for tonights expenses, Xiao Bing said.
Alright, thank you, Sister Bing.
After saying goodbye to her acquaintances, Xiao Bing took Lin Yis arm and walked out of the bar.
Outside the bar, Gu Yiran saw Gong Xiaoyuns boyfriend, whose name was Li Kang. After a brief chat, she felt that the other party was not bad.
Lets go. Lets find a ce to have supper. Gong Xiaoyun held Li Kangs arm.
My best friend is treating us today. We have to scam her.
Wait! Gu Yiran suddenly said.
Whats wrong? Did you leave something at the bar?
No, those two just came out.
Following Gu Yirans gaze, Gong Xiaoyun saw Lin Yi and Xiao Bing.
What are you doing? Lin Yi asked as he walked out of the bar and saw Xiao Bing waving for a taxi.
Lets take a taxi.
Stop calling. The hotel isnt far from here. We can just drive back.
How can you do that? Youve been drinking.
Its a small matter, Ive already digested it. Lin Yi breathed in at Xiao
Bingbing. Can you smell the alcohol?
Huh?
Xiao Bing was stunned. Whats going on? You drank so much, why cant I smell anything?
When you reach the D-ss, the power in your dantian can elerate your blood cirction. Furthermore, 1 didnt drink anything after that. 1 peed a few times and expelled it all.
Huh? Can you actually do something so magical?
Youll find outter.
Originally, Lin Yi didnt know this technique. It was Ning Che who told him about it.
When carrying out a mission, if someone forced him to drink, he could use this method to expel the alcohol. With this, the drinking would not dy the mission.
Then whats the point of taking a taxi? Lets go.
Seeing the two of them getting into the car, Gu Yiran and the other two looked at each other in disbelief.
After drinking so much, he still dared to drive?
Boom, boom, boom
The engine started, and Lin Yi drove away with Xiao Bing without any hesitation.
Quick, quick, quick, lend me your car! Xiao Bing said. Lets catch up!
Hearing Gu Yirans reminder, Gong Xiaoyun and her boyfriend immediately reacted.
The three of them hurriedly got into the car and chased after Lin Yi.
Yiran, youre a police officer, and you work in Zhonghai. Can you handle traffic matters? Gong Xiaoyun asked.
My uncle is the captain of the traffic police team. I can give him a call, and he can handle this issue, Gu Yiran said.
Now that were seeing it. We have to deal with it properly.
At the same time, Xiao Bing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nced at the rearview mirror.
Whats going on? There seems to be someone following us.
Lin Yi also looked over and saw a Honda ord following closely behind.
In order to confirm his guess, Lin Yi sped up and realized that the ord behind him was also increasing its speed.
He could now confirm that the other party was following him, but their tracking skills were not good.
The people who have grudges against me have already been dealt with. No one else should be looking for me.
With our familys status in Yuhang, they shouldnt be looking for me, Xiao Bing said.
Well, thats interesting.
Do you want to get out and ask them to see whats going on?
Forget it, lets get rid of them. Lin Yi said.
Its a good time to test this car.
I think your hands are itching.
Boom boom boom!
With a roar, Lin Yis car sped up and pulled away in an instant.
Gu Yiran and the others did not expect the other party to dare to elerate.
They stepped on the elerator and chased after him.
Hurry up and chase after them, or well be left behind, Gong Xiaoyun urged.
That man is very skilled. It will be a little difficult to catch up to him, Li Kang said.
Ill call my uncle and stop them.
Alright, itll be safer that way.
Twenty minutester, the distance between the two cars widened.
They could only see the headlights far away in the rearview mirror, and they easily shook off the other party.
Brother Lin, with your skills, you can even race in a rally.
Its mainly because theyre too lousy. Lin Yi slowed down the car and thought.
But Im also a little curious.. Who exactly is the person chasing after me?
Chapter 1624 - 1624: Blow Into This
Chapter 1624: Blow Into This
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Who cares who he is? Yuhang is our Xiao familys territory. Were not afraid of anyone.
Arent you afraid that its some awesome person?
If its someone our Xiao family cant afford to offend, you can just step in and resolve the problem. Theres no need to be afraid.
Lin Yi smiled. So, you were willing to exploit me.
Xiao Bing chuckled, Then drive slower, lets see whos following us. Anyway, Im not sleepy yet.
Lin Yi nodded and slowed down.
A few minutester, the ord behind caught up. The two cars were now side by side, and Lin Yi looked to the side.
He realized that the girl sitting in the back row looked a little familiar.
Isnt that the woman we saw when we bought the car?
With Xiao Bings reminder, Lin Yi remembered who the woman in the back seat was.
Is this woman crazy? Why is she chasing us?
You never know.
Stop the car, youre drunk driving! Gu Yiran shouted at Lin Yi through the window.
Drunk driving?
Lin Yi and Xiao Bing looked at each other. How does this b*tch know about our drinking?
From the looks of it, she seems to havee here just to chase us. Could she have been camping in the bar?
Could there be such a coincidence?
Theres no other possibility. The two of us left alone. Who else would know that you drank?
Thats possible, but isnt this woman a little too nosy?
Indeed.
Im talking to you, stop the car for inspection! Gu Yiran shouted again.
Didnt I just buy this car before you guys? Is there a need to go against me like this?
Stop talking nonsense and stop the car!
Shes a woman after all, cant you be gentler? Lin Yi chuckled.
Dont be cheeky with me. You still want to drive after drinking. 1 have to deal with you today!
Whether 1 drink or not has nothing to do with you. Isnt this a little too much? Lin Yi said.
If youre so awesome, report me. Why are you chasing me with a private vehicle?
Im telling you, Im the police. 1 can arrest you!
Lin Yi was a little surprised. He didnt expect Gu Yiran to have such an identity.
This matter seems to be under the jurisdiction of the traffic police. Youre being a busybody.
In the passenger seat, Xiao Bing smiled and said, Its over. Were in the wrong at this point.
Dont worry, they wont be able to find anything.
Lin Yi looked at Gu Yiran and said,
Dont wrong a good person. I know the principle of not drinking and driving, and not driving after drinking. Be careful, or 1 might use you of defamation.
Bullsh*t. I saw you drinking four bottles of Ace of Spades in the bar. Dont think I dont know about this. How dare you quibble with me?!
Damn, Lin Yi cursed.
Looks like I was right. She had her eyes on us when we were at the bar, Xiao Bing said.
If you stand upright, you need not fear a crooked shadow. Since you have no issues, theres no fear in stopping for a check.
Theyre in a private car, and that woman was yelling at me. If 1 just stop the car like that, wouldnt it be embarrassing for me?
Are you going to race her again?
Isnt that obvious? No woman has ever dared to talk to me like that.
Lets go.
Lin Yi stepped on the elerator, not giving Gu Yiran a chance to speak another word.
Seeing Lin Yis car speeding away, Gu Yiran cursed angrily.
Hes too arrogant. Weve already revealed our identities, but he still didnt stop the car. Hes too bold. We have to punish him severely! Gong Xiaoyun said.
I guess the man drank too much and lost control of his emotions. Otherwise, he wouldnt have done such a thing, Li Kang said.
The fact that he can drive such a car means that their family background is very good. Could this be the reason why hes so fearless? Gong Xiaoyun said.
Its useless. When my uncle stops him, well record a video and expose him. Not only will they be punished by thew, but theyll also be crushed by public opinion. Gu Yiran said,
He clearly drank four bottles of the Ace of Spades and yet ims that he didnt drink. Such a person must be severely punished.
Then, Gu Yiran called his uncle and told him what had happened.
At this point, Gong Xiaoyun and Li Kang were also exceptionally indignant.
Moreover, the two of them were from the city enforcement department. Naturally, they had zero tolerance for such things.
This man was provoking their authority. Such a person had to be made an example. He was too much.
Lin Yi drove, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
When Gu Yiran was about to catch up, he stepped on the elerator and sped up, shaking them off with his superb driving skills.
When the distance between them widened, he would slowly slow down. This cycle repeated. The chase was reduced to this game of cat and mouse.
He is doing this on purpose! Gu Yiran gritted his teeth.
Dont worry, well teach him a lessonter! Gong Xiaoyun said.
After teasing Gu Yiran for a while, Lin Yi no longer felt like talking to her. He decided he was going to get rid of them.
Just then, he suddenly saw two police cars parked in front of him. They blocked the road and spoke through a loudspeaker.
Immediately stop the oing vehicle!
The two of them looked ahead.
So theyre here to do a roadblock from drunk driving, Xiao Bing said.
But from the looks of it, they seem to be here just to catch us.
Duh, that much is obvious.
Lin Yi slowed down and finally stopped. He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
Lets go down and take a look.
The two of them got out of the car openly without panicking.
Ignoring the fact that there wouldnt be any issues, even if something really happened, he could settle the matter in front of him with the documents in his hand.
At the same time, Gu Yirans car pulled to a stop.
Arent you very powerful? Why did you stop your car? Gu Yiran looked at Lin Yi and questioned.
I can stop if I want to. What do you care?
You!
Alright! Stop arguing! Whats going on?
The person who spoke was the person who had shouted just now.
His name was Zhao Xigang, and he was Gu Yirans uncle.
Uncle, we saw him drink four bottles of Aces of Spades before driving off. We asked him to stop and he sped up on purpose. Hes looking down on authority! Gu Yiran said.
four bottles of Aces of Spades!
Zhao Xigang was shocked. This was the first time he had seen someone who dared to drive after drinking so much.
Stop spouting nonsense. Although I went to the bar, I didnt drink a single drop. Dont use a good person.
I saw it with our own eyes, and youre still arguing with me? Do you think Im a fool?!
Lin Yi nodded. 1 can tell that youre not very smart.
You!
Alright, alright. Dont say anything.
Zhao Xigang held the breathalyzer and said,
Its useless for you to just im that you didnt drink it. You have to speak with
evidence. Blow into this..

Thats not a problem. Ive always been aw-abiding citizen.
Gu Yiran sneered. If you are aw-abiding citizen, I would be one of the top ten most noble people in Huaxia.
Lin Yi took the tester and blew into it.
How much do you think the meter will reach? Zhao Xigangs subordinate said.
After drinking four bottles of the Ace of Spades, 1 feel that it will exceed 200. If it exceeds 80, he will be considered a drunk driver. His drivers license will definitely be revoked, and he will have to face thew. How he will be judged in the future will depend on his luck.
Gu Yiran smiled. 200 was too little, it would be at least 300!
Moreover, with his attitude just now, he would definitely be charged!
Alright. Lin Yi handed the apparatus over. Take a look.
Zhao Xigang took a look and his expression immediately became strange.
Captain, what does it read?
16.
160? Thats impossible. How can it be 160 after drinking four bottles Huh?
Did you say 16?
The results that Zhao Xi had just revealed stunned everyone.
After drinking so much, how can it only read 16 points!
Everyone surrounded him, feeling that this was a little unbelievable andpletely impossible.
Take a look for yourself.
Zhao Xi had just handed the testing device over. When they saw the results disyed on it, everyones expressions turned ugly.
Especially Gu Yiran, she looked worse than if she had eaten rat poison.
Sir, the alcohol level in your body is 16. Its not considered drunk driving, but I have the right to ask what you did just now.
I just yed in the bar for a while and had some physical contact with some people who drank. I really didnt drink.
Zhao Xigang nodded. ording to the rules, anything below 20 is not considered drunk driving. You can leave now. Thank you for your cooperation. Sure thing.
Xiao Bing was secretly impressed. After drinking four bottles of the Ace of Spades, he only reeched 16 points on the breathalyzer.
Other than being awesome, there were no other words to describe Brother Lin.
Lin Yi turned around and waved at Gu Yiran, I already told you that I didnt drink. Why are you meddling in other peoples business? Tell me, are you not in good spirits?
Zhao Xigang wanted to say something, but since he was in the wrong, he did not say anything.
Uncle, we cant let him go! Gu Yiran said coldly.
I saw him drink with my own eyes. If you dont believe me, ask my friend!
Gong Xiaoyun nodded. We did see it.
Are you sure?
Yes! Gong Xiaoyun said, What we saw at T3 Bar just now.
Well
Zhao Xigang was in a difficult position. If he had really drunk, it was impossible for the machine to only reach 16 points.
Uncle, did you make a mistake just now? Gu Yiran asked.
Zhao Xi was deep in thought for a second. That might be possible.
Then, he took the tester and stood in front of Lin Yi.
Sir, please cooperate with me.
No problem. My greatest strength is that Imw-abiding.
This time, Zhao Xigang took the test seriously as he personally tested Lin Yi.
However, the final result was still 16 points!
Zhao Xi showed the result to Gu Yiran.
Take a look. The result is the same. Hes fine.
Thats impossible!
Gu Yiran eximed, Is there a problem with the device?
How could that be? I just unboxed it today.
Wait, let me try.
Gu Yiran took the tester and blew at the probe. The machine immediately alerted the police officers present. The result was 83.
Well
Gu Yiran paused, Xiaoyun, try it.
Thetter did as she was told, and the machine also alerted the police. The result was 91.
Gong Xiaoyun was also stunned and she handed the device to her boyfriend.
Try it.
Li Kang was very obedient. After trying it, the result was 0.
The result of the test matched their current situation because Gu Yiran and Gong Xiaoyun had drunk a lot in the bar.
Is this what you call drunk driving and fleeing? Zhao Xi spoke sternly.
After all, this was a public incident, and such behavior from his niece was embarrassing for him.
But 1 truly saw him drinking. I wouldnt joke about this, Gu Yiran exined.
But the test has been done twice, and youve also been tested. The machine is not faulty.
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Zhao Xi and said,
Officer, I feel its not me whos drunk, but your niece. She should undergo the test. Moreover, she has been fixating on me, which makes me suspect theres a mix of personal grievances involved. 1 will pursue this matter to the end. Comrade, this is just a misunderstanding. Can you spare me some face and let it go?
Since youve asked of this, Im sure you can give her face. But I think, for her sake, its better to take her to a hospital to see a psychiatrist.
Zhao Xigang felt a little awkward and didnt know what to say.
Lets go. Bye.
No! Gu Yiran stepped forward.
Uncle, I swear on my life that he must have drunk!
Stop fooling around! Zhao Xigang said sternly.
If you continue like this, Ill call your aunt!
Ill say the same to my aunt! Gu Yiran said,
We clearly saw him drinking. How could the alcohol not be detected!
You saw the result. How do you exin this?
He might have used other methods to block the reader to avoid being detected. Gu Yiran said.
Lets bring him to the hospital now and take a blood test. Thatll be the most urate way to test this!
I can also testify that he did drink!
Seeing that the two of them were so confident, Zhao Xigang looked troubled.
He knew Gu Yiran very well. She was not an unreasonable person.
If there was no proper backing, she would not be proiming this so boldly.
Moreover, it was a little strange that her good friend was also saying the same thing.
Captain, drunk driving is not a small matter. For safety reasons, its better if we bring them to the hospital for testing. That way, itll be more urate, Zhao Xigangs subordinate said.
There are indeed some methods now that can hide from ordinary equipment. Its more urate to draw blood.
Zhao Xigang nodded and felt that what his subordinate said made sense.
Sir, Ill have to trouble you toe with me just to be on the safe side. The hospital isnt far. 1 hope youll cooperate.
Its the middle of the night. I want to go back to sleep.
I think you are afraid! Gu Yiran said.
Are you afraid to go because you know that you cant pass the blood test?
Lin Yi looked at Gu Yiran and sized her up.
Are you sure you want to fight me to the death?
Gu Yiran raised her head, as if she was confident that she could defeat Lin Yi.
How am I fighting you to the death? Shouldnt you be punished for drinking and driving?
If a blood test doesnt show anything, Im going to sue you for defamation. Can you handle that responsibility?
If it still doesnt show anything, feel free to sue!
Chapter 1626 - 1626: Activate a New Profession
Chapter 1626: Activate a New Profession
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Forget about suing you; that would be pretty boring, Lin Yi said.
Since you saw me at the bar, lets y by the bars rules.
What do you mean?
If the test shows Im in the wrong, then take me in. But if Im not, you do like those three women did and strip on the spot.
Gu Yiran looked surprised, Do you think I wouldnt dare?
Whether you dare or not is up to you. If you dont, 111 leave now, and we wont waste each others time.
Yiran
Gong Xiaoyun walked up to her, feeling a little nervous.
Although she was sure that he had drunk, the stakes of this bet was a little
After all, she was different from the women in the bar.
Why not?! Gu Yiran said forcefully.
Dont think that you can make me give up in such a way. You know very well what youve done. Stop bluffing. You have to cooperate with the examination today!
Then lets go to the hospital now, Lin Yi said frankly.
Gu Yiran whispered, Lets do it.
Xiao Bing, who was standing at the side, had a smile on her face.
She wondered what style a girl with such a personality would wear. After thinking about it, she even started looking forward to the reveal.
Ten minutester, Lin Yi and Xiao Bing were brought to the nearby Armed Police Hospital.
Because a special department took charge of this matter, and it was at night, the blood extraction work was quicklypleted.
All that was left was to wait for the results. They even sped up the process just for the group.
Brother Lin, do you have anything else to do tomorrow? Xiao Bing asked while yawning on the bench.
No, Ill be going back to Zhonghai after 1 wake up tomorrow.
Gu Yiran, who was standing by the wall, raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Yi. She did not expect him to be from Zhonghai.
Thinking of this, Gu Yiran smiled.
After drinking for so long and using illegal means to escape from an officer, there was no way he could leave!
About an hourter, the nurse on night duty walked out.
Boss, the results are out.
Everyone except Lin Yi and Xiao Bing stood up and walked towards the nurse.
Whats the result? Gu Yiran asked.
The blood alcohol level is 0.14, or fourteen points. The young nurse looked at the report and said, He probably ate something special and is feeling a reaction to that. It cant be considered drunk driving.
Fourteen
Hearing this number, Gu Yirans head buzzed.
Impossible, how could it be 14?!
This is very normal. As time passes, the alcohol content will naturally decrease, the young nurse said.
Moreover, neither 16 nor 14 would have reached the level of drunk driving. ording to the rules, we cant hold him responsible.
Zhao Xi looked at the report and said to Gu Yiran,
The results are out. Everything should be fine now.
Well
Gu Yiran was dumbfounded. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
She couldnt figure out how Lin Yi could be so normal after drinking so much wine.
Even if his body was different from ordinary people, it was impossible for things to be like this!
Does this prove my innocence? Lin Yi said with a smile on the chair.
No more questions.
Zhao Xigang also knew that he was in the wrong and said politely to Lin Yi,
Thank you for your cooperation.
As I should.
Lin Yi had a good impression of Zhao Xigang. At the very least, he was an impartial person.
Lets go. 111 get someone to send you back to the car. Its gettingte. Go back and rest now.
Im not sleepy yet, and Im not in a hurry to leave.
Then are you
Your niece said that if she lost, she would take off her clothes and give them to Brother Lin. We can only leave after she fulfills her promise, Xiao Bing said.
Well
Gu Yiran was stunned. She agreed not because she was generous.
Instead, she was certain that Lin Yi had been drunk driving, which was why she dared to make such a risky gamble.
She had never thought that even a blood sample would fail.
Yiran
Gong Xiaoyun stepped forward, not knowing what to do.
So be it. I, Gu Yiran, am not a sore loser!
Saying that, Gu Yiran went to the bathroom and Gong Xiaoyun followed her in.
After a few minutes, she came out with a ck stic bag in her hand.
As for what was inside, everyone knew.
If youre willing to bet, you must admit defeat! Ill give you this item!
Your performance is not bad. At least you can afford to gamble.
Lin Yi patted Gu Yirans shoulder and whispered in her ear,
I did drink four bottles of Ace of Spades, but you cant tell. If you want to catch me, you have to know your own strength first.
Gu Yiran widened his eyes, How dare you!
Dont f*ck me. Are you angry? But what can you do? You dont have evidence, so you cant catch me.
With that, Lin Yi waved his hand and left with Xiao Bing. He casually threw the ck stic bag into the trash can.
Why did you throw it away? Xiao Bing asked.
Why would I need an olddys lingerie like this? Is it for my milk?
Thats true. It looks a little like the 80s.
Its not just the 1980s. Even the Qing Dynastys Gege has never worn such conservative clothes. I suspect that she has anti-Qing and Ming ideologies. Perhaps shes a remnant of the Heaven and Earth Society.
As soon as Zhao Xi covered his face, the others turned around and pretended not to hear anything.
Gu Yiran:
After leaving the hospital, the two of them took a taxi back to the ce where the roadblock had urred and then returned to the hotel.
It was already past midnight. Neither of them hesitated. They booked a room and slept until past eleven the next morning.
When Lin Yi woke up, Xiao Bing had already gone to wash up.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Lin Yi muttered in his heart,
System, activate the new profession.
[New profession activated: Police Officer.]
[Profession Completion: o%]
[Host, please receive the professional gift bag. 10 million yuan, Criminal Investigation (Master).]
Receive!
[10 million yuan has been issued to the hosts ount.]
Soon, the phone on the bedside table rang. Fie didnt need to look to know that he had received the 10 million yuan gift bag.
But at this moment, Lin Yi felt something surge into his mind.
Knowledge about criminal investigations filled his mind in an instant.
Lin Yis expression changed. This might not be a good thing.
This was because many of the memories were bloody and cold. The brilliance and danger of human nature were all reflected in these memories.
It made Lin Yi unable to remain as calm as before.
Lin Yi felt that what the system had presented to him was not just criminal investigation memories but also this harsh, blood-soaked reality.
A few minutester, after all the memories had been assimted, Lin Yi took a while to calm down before his state of mind returned to normal.
However, Lin Yi realized there was a very important detail the system hadnt mentioned.
Where was he supposed to work?
Chapter 1627 - 1627: Causing Trouble
Chapter 1627: Causing Trouble
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
ng! ng! ng!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Brother Lin, theres someone at the door.
Xiao Bing, who was washing up, said.
Got it.
Lin Yi got off the bed calmly.
He had already guessed who was knocking on the door.
As expected, when he opened the door, there was no one outside, just a SF Express document bag.
It was the same familiar form and scent; it was always SF Express.
Lin Yi began to wonder if the system in his head was developed by SF Express.
Who knocked on the door? Xiao Bing asked casually.
Theres no one outside. Maybe the person knocked on the wrong door.
Uh-huh.
Lin Yi took the document and returned to the bed.
Inside was information about his new profession.
His workce would be the Xinshan Branch, and he would be at the rank of rookie.
Lin Yi still had some impression of the Xinshan District. Although it was in Zhonghai, it was part of the suburbs and was not as developed as the city.
The induction time was 9 a.m. the day after. At the time, he had to participate in induction training.
He had been given one day to prepare.
Putting the relevant documents and procedures aside, Lin Yi got up and stretched, preparing to go back to work.
Brother Lin, Im done. Go wash up.
Xiao Bing was wrapped in a towel as she wiped her hair.
Lin Yi nodded and went into the bathroom to wash up.
When he came out, he found Xiao Bing holding the files and materials, looking at him suspiciously.
Brother Lin, are you going to be a police officer?
1 want to go experience what its like.
With your skills, being a police officer at this point is equivalent to a wolf entering a flock of sheep. Who among those people can be your match?
I have nothing to do anyway. Ill just treat it as killing time.
I want to go too. Bring me along.
Why are you getting involved in this?
Its mainly because I dont have much to do. 1 can learn something from you and improve myself.
Stay at home. Donte with me.
Fine.
After cleaning up, the two of them checked out of the hotel, had some breakfast, and parted ways.
When Lin Yi arrived at Chaoyang Group, it was already past three in the afternoon.
As soon as he drove to the parking lot, he saw Ji Qingyan and two executives of thepany rushing out of the car whilst talking non-stop.
Beep beep beep!
Hearing someone honking, Ji Qingyan turned her head and saw that Lin Yi had returned.
A hint of joy immediately appeared on her anxious face as she walked towards him.
Youre always like this. You didnt even tell me you wereing back.
1 just wanted to give you a surprise. Lin Yi smiled.
Whats up with you guys? Why are you in such a hurry?
Lets not talk about it. She ran her fingers through her hair.
Before the New Year, didnt I mention we were preparing to transition intomercial real estate? The piece ofnd the group bought is currently undergoing relocation, and weve run into some trouble, so Im going over to take a look.
Trouble? What kind of trouble could there be?
That plot ofnd in the development zone was acquired from someone else at a high price. 1 suspect the other party is not happy about it, so theyvee to cause trouble.
Lin Yi thought for a few seconds. The otherpany shouldnt be based in Zhonghai, right?
From Lin Yis point of view, if thepetitor was a localpany, they wouldnt dare topete with Chaoyang Group. The only possibility was that it was apany from another province.
The other party would not have the guts to do such a thing because of the situation in Zhonghai.
Its apany from Shianggang. They want to enter the maind, so thepetition is quite fierce.
Let them go back first. Ill go with you to take a look.
Mhmm.
Ji Qingyan had the same thought. With Lin Yi around, there was no need for these executives to follow them.
You guys go back first. Well handle this matter.
Got it, President Ji.
After a brief exnation, Ji Qingyan got into Lin Yis car and drove towards the construction site.
Less than an hourter, Lin Yi drove to Xinpu Development Zone in Zhonghai.
Compared to the urban areas, this ce is somewhatcking, but it was only temporary.
During a meal with Lu Beichen over the New Year period, thetter had shared some information about this.
The country has approved the construction of a new economic development zone in Zhonghai, and would vigorously support it.
Although it didnt look eye-catching now, with Zhonghais rate of development, it would be as prosperous as the city center in at most five years.
When they arrived at the development zone, Lin Yi followed Ji Qingyans instructions and drove to the project site.
When they arrived, they found that many people surrounded the construction site.
President Ji, President Lin.
Upon seeing Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan, a middle-aged man approached them.
The middle-aged mans name was Guo Songnan, and he was the new project manager hired by Chaoyang Group.
Lin Yi had no impression of him, but Guo Songnan had seen him at the annual meeting of the twopanies and knew who he was.
What happened? Lin Yi asked, wanting to understand the situation.
But before Guo Songnan could answer, a young man in a ck jacket interrupted.
You still have the cheek to ask? You demolished our house without permission. Are you going to make our family live on the streets?
You destroyed a house for no reason. Chaoyang Group is too overbearing, another middle-aged woman said.
Let me tell you, you have to give us an exnation today. Otherwise, this matter wont end. Even if we bring this case all the way to Yanjing, we wont let it go!
Seeing those moring people, Lin Yi nced at Guo Songnan.
Didnt we provide thempensation before the demolition?
Weve given them everything, and our funds are sufficient; we offered a very high price. It was all settled in less than two days, but unexpectedly, they came to make trouble again! Guo Songnan said angrily.
Moreover, the demolition agreement is still in my hands; it wasnt a private demolition at all.
Stop spouting nonsense. We werent even home during this time. Who did you sign the agreement with, a ghost?
The man in the jacket cursed.
Thats right. During this period, weve all been traveling and havent been home for more than a month. I low could we sign an agreement with you? You capitalists with no conscience are earning blood money. How can your conscience survive?!
An old man in his eighties said.
You were all out on a vacation? What a coincidence!
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
Thats right! The old man held his walking stick and said unreasonably.
Dont worry about where we went. In short, you demolished our house without cause. You have to give us an exnation!
Looking at the twenty people surrounding him, Lin Yi understood everything.
Our people are here to solve this problem, Lin Yi said slowly.
You cant solve the problem by shouting. Tell me what you are thinking..
Chapter 1628 - 1628: Big Battle
Chapter 1628: Big Battle
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
President Lin, were in the right in this matter. Even if they file awsuit, well win. Theres no need to waste your breath on them, Guo Songnan persuaded.
Many people said that President Lin had a bad temper, thus Guo Songnan was afraid that they would fight at this moment.
Now, it seemed that he was overthinking.
Although theres no need to be ferocious, a certain level of seriousness was required. Otherwise, how could they negotiate with these people?
Dont panic. Well talk it out slowly. Since were here to solve the problem, we naturally have to be amiable.
That, thats true.
Guo Songnan could only reluctantly agree. De felt like ayman guiding an expert.
For a new project, the most troublesome hurdle was dealing with these unreasonable people.
The more friendly they were, the more arrogant these people would be. If they tried to talk calmly, they would not be able to solve the problem.
However, he was the presidents boyfriend while she was just a small project manager. It was not appropriate for her to say anything.
Lin Yis attitude surprised the twenty people around him.
They thought that the other party would only submit after some time had passed, but they did not expect them topromise so quickly.
It felt like they had struck gold.
However, this man had already taken the bait. If they continued to cause trouble, they would be in the wrong.
At the thought of this, the man in ck rolled his eyes and said,
Weve lived here for over twenty years, with a total of six bungalows covering more than 300 square meters. Besides the houses, theres also a separate yard of over 100 square meters. Based on the currentpensation rates for relocation, youll need to give us an additional 10 million!
The 300-plus square meters of their house is considered small; our house has a total of over 500 square meters, and considering the yard, you need topensate us at least 20 million!
Our house covers 400 square meters, so you need to pay us more than 18 million to make it right, said the olddy.
More than twenty people were chattering non-stop.
Ji Qingyan frowned slightly. She did a rough calction. If they were topensate ording to the price quoted, they would have to pay more than 200 million yuan!
This would be a huge blow to the entire project!
Guo Songnan and the others stood at the back, looking coldly at the troublemakers with unfriendly expressions.
Manager Guo, from the looks of it, theres no way to negotiate this matter.
The worker in charge of the demolition said.
It cant be helped. President Lin has made a bad start. Hes too pleasant. Guo Songnan said.
If he had been tougher from the start, they wouldnt have dared to ask for so much.
Damn it, how infuriating. I really want to take the excavator and bury them all!
Alright, lets see how it ys out first. Regardless, we cant let them take advantage of us.
At this moment, Ji Qingyan remained silent.
She didnt know what method Lin Yi would use to solve the problem, but she knew that Lin Yi would definitely be able to solve it.
Since you wantpensation, lets sit down and talk things out slowly.
Thats more like it. But let me put it bluntly. If you pay us a single cent less, dont even think about starting work. Well pester you to the end!
Didnt 1 tell you? Sit down and speak slowly. Why are you so excited?
Seeing Lin Yis amicable attitude, the twenty or so people found ces to sit down at the entrance of the temporary office.
Tell me, whats your solution? Its almost dark. Lets cut the fluff and get to the point.
Im not a professional when ites to dealing with such matters. Someone wille over to talk to youter. Dont be anxious.
Lin Yi fiddled with his phone and said,
However, Ive already recorded what you said just now. We can treat it as evidenceter.
The twenty people were a little stunned. Arent you just thepanys leader? Who else do you need to talk to?
Have some patience. Youll find outter.
Ji Qingyan and Guo Songnan were a little puzzled. Who would Lin Yi call over?
You rich people are really good at handling your issues. The most arrogant man in ck said.
This just a small matter. If you guyspensate us a little, we can call it even. Why are you still causing so much trouble?
Thepensation you want is not a small sum. Naturally, we have to be careful.
Alright, well just wait.
The twenty or so people in front of him did not say anything else.
They were not afraid at all because they had already made a fake property deed beforeing.
Even if they brought it to the real estate bureau to investigate, no one would be able to find out the truth!
Moreover, there was also a big shot supporting them. There was no need to be afraid of these people.
About half an hourter, the sound of police sirens came from the road beyond the crowd.
There were more than twenty vehicles parked by the roadside, spanning all sorts of car models.
The car doors opened one after another, and the people who stepped out were dressed in suits and uniforms.
From their attire, it was clear that they were all public officials.
Ji Qingyan and Guo Songnan were surprised to see all these people.
How had Lin Yi called so many people over in such a short time?
Especially the middle-aged man in the police uniform at the front. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
He was definitely somebody with authority.
It was not just the two of them who had such reactions. Everyone present was stunned.
This was because the people who came over were all not simple. They were all heads of various departments.
The police, the railway, the airport, and the staff of Huaxias road administration were all here.
He could call so many people over with just one phone call. This was too awesome.
Seeing Lin Yi, Chen Bingqiang walked over first, and thetter also went up to him.
Chief Chen, you should have just arranged for a few people toe over. Why are you here personally? Youre embarrassing me.
I happen to be free, so i came over to take a look. Chen Bing forced a smile and said.
Moreover, the city is currently undergoing a strict crackdown on such matters. I brought some of my people over to set an example of them.
Theres no need for someone as big as you toe here. Look at this, Lin Yi said politely.
Then why are you treating me like a stranger? This is my job. Chen Bingqiang said.
Its going to be dark soon. Lets not be polite. If theres anything wrong, lets deal with it now.
Alright, make it quick, dont dy our dinner.
Lin Yi stood to the side and spoke calmly.
These people im that theyve been traveling outside of Zhonghai for the past month, so 1 want to check their travel records.
Check our travel records
The man in ck broke out in a cold sweat. The story about going on a trip was made up on the spot. They hadnt actually gone anywhere, so there wouldnt be any travel records!
A thorough check would expose their lies!
Kid, stop trying to scare us. When we said we went traveling, we just meant around the area-we didnt leave the city. Even if you check, you wont find anything. Dont waste your effort, just give us the money.

Chapter 1629: The Demeanor of a Superior
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Dont you just want money? I can give it to you.
Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan. Go inform thepanys finance department to prepare 300 million in cash. They canpensate as much as these people want.
Compensate?
Ji Qingyan looked puzzled, not understanding what Lin Yi was trying to do.
But she didnt say anything.
Ill call thepanys finance department.
Seeing that Lin Yi was ready topromise, the man in ck said,
You know whats good for you. Otherwise, you can forget about this project.
In order for the project to continue, Illpensate you guys, but please be mentally prepared, Lin Yi said calmly.
What the hell? What do we need to prepare for?
Let me be honest with you, this project is a key initiative spearheaded by the Zhonghai Municipal Committee and has certain official backing. Therefore, your actions have already constituted a crime of obstructing economic development. As for how it will be handledter, Im not entirely sure. Youd best hope for good luck.
W-what did you say? It has official backing?
What else? If that wasnt the case, would so many peoplee at once?
The man in ck was scared silly. He had not heard before that this project had official backing!
If those people investigated, wouldnt he be dead meat?!
In reality, this project had no official backing at all. It was all made up by Lin Yi.
Having said that, Lin Yi could also freely decide if the project had official backing or not.
Chief Chen, thats the situation. Please investigate it.
Leave it to me. Chen Bingqiang said.
Ive seen plenty of people like this before. I know how to handle them.
The twenty or so people who hade to cause trouble had already peed their pants.
If they were really investigated, they would be finished!
They would probably have to spend the rest of their lives in prison!
No, no, no. Lets talk things out.
The man in ck stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yis arm. His attitude was no longer as arrogant as before.
We know we were wrong. Somebody just paid us to help them. We didnt know that this matter would blow up so much.
It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid!
If this matter blew up, even if the emperor himself came, he would not be able to save them!
Furthermore, the oue would be even worse!!
There was no need to hesitate!
He might as well apologize and beg for mercy now. Perhaps then, the punishment would be lenient.
You cant tell me all this since I dont have the right to deal with you. Lin Yi shrugged.
A few you over there,e and take them away! Chen Bingqiang said.
More than 20 police officers jumped out from behind Chen Bingqiang and cuffed the 20 or so troublemakers. Their movements were clean and nimble.
Regardless of whether they were men, women, old, or young, the people who were arrested all had sad expressions on their faces. Even so, it was toote for regrets.
I*wo days ago, someone came over and gave each of them 5,000 yuan. These people were greedy and agreed readily.
Now, for 5,000 yuan, they were going to prison!
All!
Seeing that these police officers were really going to take her away, an olddy copsed to the ground. Her eyes were white and her entire body was twitching.
No, no, 1 cant do it anymore. Im getting a heart attack. Hurry up and send me to the hospital
Aiyaya
I was scared by these people. Im having a heart attack too. Hurry up and send me to the hospital.
Eventually
The seven or eight old men ally on the ground, unable to get up no matter how hard they tried.
Because of that, the surrounding bystanders began to point their fingers at Chen Bingqiang. It was clear that they were iming that Chen Bingqiang was bullying them.
Chen Bingqiangs face was cold. Naturally, he was not afraid of these rumors.
These people are all faking it. Ignore them. Bring them all to the van.
Youd better not. Your identity is sensitive. Let me do this.
President Lin, you
Lin Yi smiled and said to Guo Songnan.
If its a problem, then lets just deal with it directly.
All? Deal, deal with?
Ever seen a car ident scene? Get a car to run over it. ording to Zhonghais rate, itll be roughly 500,000 yuan per life.
What the f*ck!
The old men and women who were paralyzed on the ground were all dumbfounded!
This person was too ruthless. He actually wanted to hit them with his car?
No, no, no. Weve recovered from our heart attack. Well just follow the police.
In the next few minutes, all the troublemakers were taken away.
Guo Songnan was shocked and secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
President Lin was more than ruthless. He was evil to the core.
This approach was much more sophisticated than those with fierce faces who were quick to resort to violence and threats.
This was the demeanor of a superior.
After handling the situation at the construction site, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan went back.
Guo Songnan stayed behind to deal with the subsequent matters.
Its a good thing I met you today. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to deal with these people.
On the way back, Ji Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief.
With this matter resolved, the project could start as scheduled.
To deal with these people, you have to use force. The better your temper, the more arrogant they will be.
I dont think Ill be able to learn something like that. Ji Qingyan smiled.
But with you around, 1 dont have to worry about such trivial matters, right, Mr. Lin?
That depends on your performance.
Thats not a problem. My culinary skills have improved recently. Ill cook something delicious for you when we get back.
Will there be any humans which are particrly tasty?
Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes and replied shamelessly, Nothing of the sort.
After leaving the construction site, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan found a Cantonese restaurant to take car of their time.
During this time, they chatted about Song Jiayu, then went out to watch a movie before returning home at around 10 p.m.
Lin Yi received a call from Chen Bingqiang as soon as he got home.
President Lin, weve them investigated thoroughly. These people are just ordinary people, but their reputations arent very good. Theyre what we normally call deadbeats.
They said that two days ago, a person named Ma San gave them five thousand yuan each beforeing to cause trouble.
Lin Yi thought for a moment. Can you find the person called Ma San?
The other party is very cautious. They only gave them money and didnt leave any contact information. With the information on hand, Im afraid it will be very difficult to find that person called Ma San.
Alright, 1 understand. Thank you, Chief Chen.
Theres no need to be so polite. Were all on the same side.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Yi hung up.
Seeing Lin Yis serious expression, Ji Qingyan brought some cut fruits over.
Did something happen? Why do you look so pale?
Whats the name of thepany that waspeting with you for thend?
Huanghai Group. Its a very famouspany. The president is Li Dongxin, who was once the wealthiest man in Huaxia. Now that the ind development is booming, theyre looking to get a piece of the action, Ji Qingyan said.
However, this project is managed by his son, Li Huaxing, who is also the general manager of Huanghai Group.
Lin Yi smiled, If hes thinking of getting a share of the ind market, he might be overestimating himself..

Now that the problem has been resolved, there should be no need to pay attention to those people, right?
Its better to be on guard. He mighte and cause more trouble in the future. Lin Yi said.
But you dont have to worry about this. Ill help you keep an eye on the project. You just have to stay in the office and rx.
Ji Qingyans beautiful eyes flitted back and forth over Lin Yi for quite a while.
If you say so, I actually have a task Id like to entrust to you, Mr. Lin. Would you consider it?
Why are you looking at me with such suggestive eyes? Could it be you want to be a mother? Id dly ept this responsibility without refusal. Lets take action tonight, and I guarantee that in ten months, your dream of bing a mother wille true.
Go away. Who said anything about this? Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes.
In any case, you dont go to thepany every day. Youre just messing around. Why dont youe to my ce? What do you think?
To your ce?
Didnt thepany change tomercial real estate? I n to separate the new business in this area from the other businesses in thepany. Come to thepany and be my vice president. Youll be in charge of that business. That way, 1 wont have to hire someone else.
Ji Qingyan winked and said.
If you had told me a day earlier, I would have agreed. Im afraid I cant now.
Huh? Why not? Arent you pretty free right now?
Who said Im free? Ive already found a new job.
Huh? New job?
Wait here.
Lin Yi returned to the car and took out the ID and information the system had given him.
Upon seeing this, Ji Qingyan was stunned for a long while, her expression changing indeterminately.
Youre a cop?
This job seems quite interesting. I want to give it a try.
You really cant stay idle.
Ji Qingyan quickly epted the fact that Lin Yi had joined the police.
After all, he used to drive Didi and run errands. It seemed understandable for him to be a police officer now.
At the very least, it was a proper job.
The only disadvantage was that it was more difficult. This was not great.
I dont object to you bing a cop, but would it be risky? Does it involve shoot-outs, undercover work, that sort of thing?
Um
Lin Yi pointed at Ji Qingyans forehead. What are you thinking about? Be normal. At most, Ill just be catching thieves. Its not asplicated as you think.
If youre just catching thieves, its nothing much, said Ji Qingyan.
Although youre good at fighting, you have to be careful.
Dont worry.
Ji Qingyan nodded with a smile.
Since you cante with me to thepany now, could you take care of the recruitment process for me?
It seems like you really want me to take charge of this, dont you?
Lin Yi saw through her thoughts at a nce.
Hehe Ji Qingyans eyes narrowed into slits as she chuckled.
Its mainly because this business is a turning point for thepany. There cant be any mistakes. I cant take so much time to take care of it, and a certain someone would rather go out and have fun than help me. What can I do?
Stop, stop, stop. Ill take care of this. Dont beat around the bush.
Thats more like it. If you listen to me obediently, youll get a lot of benefits.
Ive already sent out the relevant recruitment information a week ago. Come to my ce in a few days and look through the applications.
From what youre saying, my body will end up being exhausted.
Pervert.
Ji Qingyan snapped at him, then untied her long hair behind her head.
Do what you have to. Ill go take a shower.
Okay, go ahead.
Ji Qingyan went to the bathroom. Lin Yi took out his phone and called Qi Xianzhao.
At this time, it should be morning on his side.
President Lin.
How are things going over there?
Weve been discussing a solution the past few days, Qi Xianzhao said.
Although these people have agreed topensate, they are still procrastinating on some trivial matters and are unwilling to bear any additional responsibilities.
These are small matters. Whats important is that we have to think of a way to transport the items back.
Im also dealing with this matter. Ive also contacted two reputable shippingpanies, but neither of them has a spare ship. We need to wait for a while more. We will be able to sail in a month at the earliest. Were in a very passive situation.
Lin Yi fell silent. Things were developing in the worst direction.
From all the signs, it was likely that someone was behind this, but they still didnt know who it was.
Regarding thepensation, you deal with it first. At the same time, contact Bazil and get them to help deal with it. If they still refuse, then dont pay the remaining 20%. Lin Yi said.
If theres still no progress on your side in the next few days, find two ships in Zhonghai. Dont worry about the cost. Just bring the goods back first.
Got it, President Lin.
Be careful while youre there.
Thank you, President Lin. 1 will.
After a few more reminders, Lin Yi hung up, but he fell into a long silence.
Although he was notpletely certain, he was 70% sure that this matter involved some hidden factors.
Therefore, it was not wise to try to overthink it. The most important thing now was to get the goods back.
Since they still held 20% of the final payment in their hands, even if there was a bit more back and forth, the group wouldnt incur any losses.
It was just a dy.
After dealing with Qi Xianzhaos matters, Lin Yi fiddled with his phone and called Mo Hongshan.
Brother Shan, are you asleep?
Not yet. I just sent Elder Yang back. Whats the matter?
I want to ask you a small favor.
Theres no need to be so polite. Were all on the same side. If you have something to say, just say it. Mo Hongshan said straightforwardly.
I have a project on Baoshan Road. Recently, someone has gone over to cause trouble. Can you send a few people over to watch over it for me for a few days?
Who dares to cause trouble at your ce? How many brain cells do they have? Mo Hongshan said with augh.
Im not sure myself. 1 thought of just waiting for things to happen, but 1 dont feelfortable letting others handle it, so I have to rely on Brother Shan.
No problem, just send me the specific address and a contact number. We can touch base afterwards.
Thank you, Brother Shan, but dont make a big deal out of it. Stay hidden.
I know that. This is one of our training subjects. Its a small matter.
Alright, Lin Yi said, Ill send you the addresster.
Then, Lin Yi sent the relevant information to Mo Hongshan. With his ability, it wouldnt be a problem for him to handle this matter.
That night, Lin Yi, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the urgent ringing of his phone.
It was from Mo Hongshan.
Dont sleep yet. Weve caught him. Come to the construction site..
Chapter 1631 - 1631: I’m Here to Deal With You
Chapter 1631: Im Here to Deal With You
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
So fast? Lin Yi was surprised.
He had just contacted Mo Hongshan before he went to bed and asked him to help with this matter. It was only two in the morning, and he had already caught the suspect?
Im also a little puzzled. Mo Hongshan smiled and said.
Since its the first day, 1 was a bit worried and thought abouting over to spend the night, then sort out things here. I didnt expect those troublemakers toe directly to us.
Thank you, Brother Shan. Ille over now.
Drive slowly. The perpetrator is in my hands. Theres no hurry.
Sure thing.
After hanging up, Lin Yi nced at Ji Qingyan.
He realized that her sleep quality was really good. She actually did not wake up even after the call.
Lin Yi tried to pull his arm out from under Ji Qingyan.
He realized that she was sleeping soundly and did not react at all.
Lin Yi was speechless. Ji Qingyans sleep quality was truly admirable.
It was as if she was sealed to the bed.
With no other choice, Lin Yi gave her a kick on the butt. Ji Qingyan smacked her lips, made a little noise, and then turned over.
Then, she went back to sleep.
Lin Yi,
After getting off the bed, Lin Yi found his clothes and went to the storage room. He took two bottles of white wine, two bottles of red wine, and a box of tea leaves to gift to Mo Hongshan.
Businessmen would inevitably need to exchange favors. These were all purchased by Ji Qingyan in case of such emergencies.
She did not know if these things were good or not. In any case, they were not cheap.
After everything was prepared, Lin Yi was still a little worried. He returned to the door of his room to take a look.
In less than twenty minutes, Ji Qingyan had turned her body sideways and upied the other side of the bed.
Lin Yi pursed his lips, feeling that the double bed was no longer enough to satisfy Ji Qingyan.
Before leaving, Lin Yi covered Ji Qingyan with another nket to prevent her from falling to the ground and catching a cold.
However, Lin Yi felt that with her sleeping style, it probably wouldnt be more than a few minutes before the nket was kicked off.
After leaving, Lin Yi looked at the clock. ording to the time, he should be able to finish this matter before dawn and return to sleep.
Most importantly, there was no way Ji Qingyan would find out that he had left halfway.
This was great.
With his things in hand, Lin Yi got into the car and drove towards the construction site.
More than 30 people surrounded the entrance of the temporary office at the project site.
A huge searchlight shone on these people like a mini sun.
About seven or eight people were surrounded in the middle. Their hands were bound with ropes. They did not say a word and did not have any expression at all. It was impossible to tell what they were thinking.
Mr. Mo, this all thanks to you. If it were just us, we would have been dead asleep in the middle of the night. We wouldnt have known that these people hade over to cause trouble.
Guo Songnan knew that these people were all hired by Lin Yi, but he didnt know the identities of Mo Hongshan and the others.
Otherwise, it would really scare him.
Moreover, after this incident, he admired Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart.
He had actually predicted that someone woulde and cause trouble. No wonder he could be a billionaire at such a young age. Ordinary people could not match his intellect.
You dont have to be so polite. Mo Hongshan smiled and said.
Im good friends with your President Lin. Its only right for us to help each other.
What should we do with these people? We dont have the energy to look after them, Guo Songnan said.
Lets call the police now.
Dont worry, Ive called President Lin. Hell be here soon.
It would be great if President Lin coulde, Guo Songnan said.
In his opinion, with Lin Yis level, he would definitely be able to handle this matter perfectly.
Alright, everyone, go back and rest. We still have work to do tomorrow. 111 just stay here and watch.
The people who came to wreak havoc were all under control.
Guo Songnan dismissed the others. He, Mo Hongshan, and the people from Zhonghais garrison stayed behind and continued to watch the people in front of them.
Tell me quickly, who sent you here? Are the people who caused trouble during the day in cahoots with you?
I dont know what youre talking about here, replied a bald man.
We came here to steal something. Now that weve been arrested, we have nothing to say. At most, well be locked up for a few months before being released.
Mo Hongshan, who was standing at the side,ughed. What a group of naive and cute people.
Rx, I wont send you to the police station. President Lin will deal with you personally!
President Lin?
The bald man smiled. Im not even afraid of the police. Why would I be afraid of you guys? Stop fooling around.
You guys dont know what is good for you. When our President Lines, you guys will have a good time.
Hehe
The eight people who were caught allughed at the same time, as if they did not take Guo Songnans words seriously.
Boom, boom, boom
There was a roar. Everyone looked at the two beams of white light that illuminated the road behind them.
As there was no one on the streets at night, Lin Yi drove his La Voiture Noire to the entrance of the project site in less than 20 minutes.
Mo Hongshan and Guo Songnan went forward at this moment.
Brother Shan, youve worked hard.
Its a small matter. The perpetrators are under control. Lets go over and take a look.
Under their guidance, Lin Yi arrived at the door of the temporary office.
Lin Yi nced at the eight people who were all tied out. From their figures and clothes, they looked no different from local hooligans.
Did Ma San send you?
During Chen Bingqiangs interrogation, Lin Yi learned that Ma San was the mastermind behind the people who caused trouble during the day.
Unless he was wrong, Ma San should also be the mastermind behind these peoples acts.
I dont know who youre talking about. Anyway, were just here to steal something. 1 didnt expect to get caught by one of your people. I have no clue who this Ma San youre talking about is.
The bald man was fearless. The worst-case scenario would be that he would be sent to the police station.
The most important factor to consider was that he had been arrested before he had even started to cause trouble. Thus, it was only considered an attempted crime. He would not even be sentenced. At most, he would be detained for a few days before he was released. There was no need to be afraid of these people.
If these people dared to hit them, they would be in the right, and there would be even less reason to fear them!
Looking at you all, why do I feel like you are unbothered by the scenario? Lin Yi said, stroking his chin.
We just want to steal something, and we didnt resist. What else do you want me to do? the bald man said.
Hurry up and send me to the police station. Your actions constitute illegal imprisonment, a skinny man said.
I was wondering why you people werent afraid at all. So, it turns out you were waiting for me here. Lin Yi said.
Do you think that the police cant deal with you without concrete evidence and stolen goods?
No one said anything because that was exactly what they thought.
If thats the case, you might be a bit too hopeful.
Lin Yi said, If I wasnt here to deal with you guys, I wouldnt havee here in the middle of the night..
Chapter 1632 - 1632: Respectful
Chapter 1632: Respectful
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Youre here to deal with us?
The bald man was defiant, You better weigh your own importance. What youre doing is illegal!
I dont have many talents, but I do know how to break thew knowingly.
Lin Yi pulled out a dagger from behind his waist, Everyones time is limited, so its best to tell the truth. Who sent you here? Once I start, I wont be as polite.
Seeing the dagger in Lin Yis hand, the eight people panicked.
He did not expect this man to brandish a knife the moment he appeared!
Stop trying to scare us people. We were here to steal. No one instructed us to do so.
Why are you doing this? How much money did the other party give you? Is it worth it for you to risk so much for their sake?
I dont understand what youre saying.
Lin Yi took out his dagger. The bald mans attitude softened, and he wasnt as arrogant as before.
If you dont want to send us to the police station, then wellpensate you some money. We can close the matter with that. Theres no need to waste time.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi didnt waste any time and kicked the bald man.
Thetter immediately flew backward like a sandbag and hit the electric pole behind him.
Do you really think that Im a kind person who cant pry open your mouths?
Lin Yi walked towards the dagger and the bald man, looking down at him. Ill give you three seconds. If you dont tell me everything, its hard to say where youll end up.
I really dont know anything. Dont
Pfft!
Lin Yi held the dagger and stabbed it straight into the bald mans abdomen.
AH!!!
Screams could be heard. The bald mans eyes widened as he clutched his stomach. Blood soaked his clothes and slowly flowed to the ground.
The remaining seven people were dumbfounded, and so was Guo Songnan.
He had guessed that Lin Yi would use violence, but he didnt expect him to do it himself!
Moreover, he was merciless. This was too ruthless.
Lin Yi bent down and pulled out the dagger. Fresh blood dripped down. It was soul-stirring.
Ill give you three more seconds. If you dont tell me, Im going to stab you again.
No, dont
The bald man trembled and said, Ma San asked me toe here. He asked me to cause trouble. He doesnt want you to perate normally.
Go on.
Hes from Shianggang, the bald man said.
He asked our big brother for help, which is why we came here.
Do you know where they are?
I, I dont know. I have to call our boss
Whos your boss?
With the conversation reaching this point, Lin Yi was fairly certain he had ample leeway to resolve this situation.
Our boss is Master Wei from Zhonghai. If youre high-ranking enough, you should have heard of him. If you do this to us, Master Wei will definitely be unhappy.
To hell with Master Wei or Mistress Wei, call him now.
Everyone was startled, and Guo Songnan hurriedly pulled Lin Yi back.
Mr. Lin, please dont get agitated. This Master Wei is no ordinary person. Hes a powerhouse in Zhonghai who is practically untouchable. We cant afford to mess with someone like him.
People in the construction industry were generally not clean, and they were all familiar with the various industry connections.
Someone like Guo Songnan, who had reached the level of project manager, was well-acquainted with these underworld bigwigs and naturally knew the kind of person Master Wei was.
He also knows that Master Wei was not someone he could afford to offend.
To hell with it, I want to see how divine he actually is.
Hehe
The bald man covered his wound and revealed a disdainful smile.
Ive told you everything I know, but if you wont listen to me, then theres nothing 1 can do.
Stop dilly-dallying and make the call.
The bald man took out his phone with difficulty and turned on the loudspeaker.
Although it was veryte, the call went through after a few rings. A deep mans voice was heard.
Have you done the job over there?
Brother Feng, weve been caught. The boss of theirpany is here and wants to see Master Wei.
Hes just the boss of apany and yet, he wants to see Master Wei. Who does he think he is?
Tell your master that my name is Lin Yi. If he doesnt answer the phone within a minute, Ill deal with all of you tomorrow.
What did you say? Youre Lin Yi? The President Lin of Lingyun Group?
After learning Lin Yis identity, the other partys attitude changed 180 degrees.
Thats me.
Wait a moment, Ill go look for Master Wei now.
Then, hurried footsteps came from the phone. Less than a minuteter, a flustered voice sounded.
Master Wei, wake up. Something big has happened
What is it? Cant we talk about it tomorrow?
Wei Yihuas angry voice came through the phone.
He seemed to be very unhappy that someone had disturbed his sleep.
But this is President Lin of the Lingyun Group. Otherwise, I wouldnt dare to disturb you.
President Lin called?! Give it to me!
A confused voice came from the phone, followed by Wei Yihuas voice. His tone was filled with respect.
President Lin, why are you calling me sote at night?
H-how is this possible?!
Hearing Wei Yihuas words, everyone except Mo Hongshan was stunned.
This was a big shot in Zhonghai who could cover the sky with one hand. Why would he speak to this man in such a tone?
You know who I am, right?
I know, I know. With President Lins status, even if you dont know who I am, I have to know who you are.
Back then, Xiao Bing said that Lin Yi was the local emperor of Zhonghai.
These words were not just for show.
His influence was not as simple as it seemed. Even people in the underworld knew his name.
He was the one who killed Wang Mazi, the previous boss of the underworld in Zhonghai.
As the new leader, Wei Yihua was naturally more afraid.
It was just that the two of them usually did two separate businesses and did not cross paths. They each minded their own business, so they did not interact much. Thus, Wei Yihua did not expect Lin Yi toe looking for him today.
Do you have a f*cking death wish? How dare you target my girlfriends project?
Huh? Your girlfriends project?
Have you been in contact with a man named Ma San recently?
Hearing this, Wei Yihua suddenly understood.
Ma San had contacted him, wanting to borrow a few people to wreak havoc on hispetitors.
His so-calledpetitor should be President Lins girlfriends project.
President Lin, this is a misunderstanding, like a flood hitting the Dragon Kings Temple, where family doesnt recognize family. If I had known that project belonged to your girlfriend, I wouldnt dare to do such a thing even if it meant death.
Cut the crap, just tell me where Ma San is, Lin Yi said softly..
Chapter 1633 - 1633: The Way of the World
Chapter 1633: The Way of the World
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
President Lin, you dont have to do such a small matter. I was wrong in this matter, so Ill help you deal with it. I guarantee that Ill give you a satisfactory answer.
Theres no need. This is moreplicated than you think. 111 take care of it myself.
On the other side, Wei Yihuas forehead was covered in cold sweat.
In his heart, he cursed all the female members in Ma Sans eighteen generations of ancestors.
Of all the people you could have f*cking offended, you had to offend President Lin. It was as if you were courting death.
Ma Sans name is Ma Jialiang. Hes very famous in Shianggang.. The two of us have known each other for a long time. Because he has done me a favor, I helped him with this. Otherwise, I wouldnt have bothered with him.
Wei Yihua cleverly disassociated himself from Ma San and continued,
Ive arranged for him to stay in Jiangnan Spring Hotel. Hes in Room 2408. You can look for him there.
Keep your mouth shut about this matter. If the news gets out, you might as well leave Zhonghai.
Yes, yes, yes, 1 understand. Wei Yihua hurriedly agreed and said.
If President Lin needs my help, just let me know. I, Wei Yihua, will definitely be the first to arrive.
Lin Yi didnt respond. He hung up the phone and threw it aside.
Guo Songnan and the bald man were so frightened that they could not speak.
The famous Master Wei of Zhonghai was actually talking to him with such an attitude. How powerful was he?
Mr. Lin, we know we were wrong. If we had known that you knew Master Wei, we wouldnt have dared to cause trouble.
The bald man and the people he brought were ail apologizing to Lin Yi, hoping to get his forgiveness.
Even Master Wei had to speak politely in front of him. He was nothing!
Guo Songnan clenched his fists tightly, his expression excited.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect President Lin to be so powerful.
For a man to be able to do this, he must have already reached the ceiling of soceity.
It was too awesome.
Lin Yi ignored them and brought Mo Hongshan to the side.
Brother Shan, this is all thanks to you today.
Lin Yi took out the wine and tea leaves from the car.
I didnt prepare anything for you. Take these back.
That wont do.
Mo Hongshan took two steps back. If you y this game with me, 1 wont involve myself in your business in the future.
I wont stand on ceremony with you, but you have to take care of the brothers below you. I cant let others think that I, Lin Yi, am stingy.
Dont think too much. Ill arrange for them to have a good meal. Mo Hongshan said.
Besides, if the chief finds out about this, hell definitely reprimand me. Hurry up and take it back. I cant ept it.
Chief
Hearing this word, Guo Songnan and the bald man were stunned again.
Where did these peoplee from?
President Lin actually knew such a person?
In the end, Mo Hongshan didnt take Lin Yis things and left in a hurry with his men.
As for the bald man and hispanions, Lin Yi didnt make Mo Hongshan deal with them.
It was such a small matter. He could do it himself.
President Lin, what should we do with these people?
Let them go. Go do what you have to do.
Let them go? Guo Songnan was confused.
Since he gave me face, I naturally have to return it. Lin Yi said.
If we send these people to the police station, it will be immoral.
Guo Songnan carefully savored Lin Yis words and suddenly understood the deeper meaning. It seemed to make sense.
You can handle the rest. Ill leave first.
Take care, President Lin.
Lin Yi looked at his watch and saw that it was already past four.
The sky was brightening at the end. Some people were already starting their days.
But there were also people who had just gotten off work.
Lin Yi wasnt in a hurry to find Ma San. Instead, he drove home.
Firstly, he had already grasped the other partys whereabouts and was not worried that he would escape.
Secondly, if Jin Qingyan found out that he had secretly gone out in the middle of the night to deal with this matter, she would definitely be worried. Thus, he decided to return to the Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Just as Lin Yi had expected, Ji Qingyan was still asleep.
The nket had fallen to the floor, and she was in an extremely inelegant position as shey fast asleep on the bed.
Two buttons on her pajamas were unbuttoned, revealing arge portion of the snow-white skin on her chest.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Yi picked up the nket and covered Ji Qingyan again before returning to bed to sleep.
It was past seven in the morning when Ji Qingyan stretchedzily. It was obvious that she had slept very well that night.
After being awoken Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi also got up.
Am I disturbing you? You should sleep for a while more.
Although her sleeping posture was not elegant, she had the advantage of never sleeping in.
She would get up in the morning the moment she opened she eyes. This was theplete opposite of Liang Ruoxu.
You seem to be sleeping well.
With her hair disheveled, Ji Qingyan pursed her lips.
Not as good as usual.
The corner of Lin Yis mouth twitched. This was considered not sleeping well?
Why couldnt you sleep well?
I had a dreamst night. It affected my sleep.
What dream?
I dreamed that I turned into a giant panda and was eating bamboo. Then, someone kicked me. Thats about it.
Lin Yi,
Her actions synchronized with her dream?
Alright, theres no need to discuss this matter. You can sleep for a while more. 111 go down and make breakfast, but you can only sleep for another 20 minutes at most.
Got it. Lin Yi patted Ji Qingyans butt. Go cook.
Ji Qingyan washed up and went to make breakfast. Lin Yi slept for a while longer before going downstairs.
After breakfast, the two of them tidied up briefly before driving to work.
After sending Ji Qingyan to the office, Lin Yi drove to Jiangnan Spring Hotel to meet the person called Ma San.
Jiangnan Spring Hotel, Room 2408, presidential suite.
A thin middle-aged man in a bathrobe was eating breakfast at the table. His movements were slow and rhythmic, like an borate machine.
This man was the Ma San Lin Yi was looking for!
In the early years, Ma San was a gangster in Shianggang.
Because of his ruthless methods and meticulous mind, Ma San was favored by Li Huaxing, the General Manager of Huanghai Group, and was taken in as an assistant.
Over the years, the series of achievements attained by Li Huaxing all bore Ma Sans involvement behind them.
In Shianggang, as long as Li Huaxing was interested in a project, no one would dare to touch it. Otherwise, they would suffer Ma Sans crazy revenge!
Hows the situation at the construction site? Ma San asked calmly.
I just called Wei Yihua and said that he has seeded, Ma Sans subordinate said.
Ma Sans expression was unmoved. He picked up his phone and dialed Li Huaxings number.
President Li, you can talk to President Ji of Chaoyang Group..

After saying that, Ma San hung up the phone and continued eating his breakfast.
Third Master, do we need to make another move? Will the other party submit so quickly if we just destroy some equipment?
This should be enough. The mainders are different from us Shianggangers. Theyre timid. If we scare them like this, theyll immediately understand how powerful we are. Ma Sanxian chewed slowly and said.
However, what we do next depends on what President Ji says. If the other party is willing to give up thend, there wont be a problem. If not, well continue to attack. She cant do anything to me.
The subordinate beside him nodded and agreed with Ma San.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the two of them heard a strange sound outside the door. It was as if something had hit the door!
After pausing for a second, Ma San said to one of his men,
Go out and see whats going on.
The man in ck walked towards the door. The moment he opened the door, he was surprised to see the two people guarding the door lying on the ground.
They clutched their chest and groaned, unable to stand up no matter what.
Ma San didnt panic as he looked at Lin Yi. He put down the knife and fork in his hand and examined Lin Yi.
And you are?
Lin Yi walked in from outside and looked at Ma San.
You must be Ma San.
You know me? Ma San raised his eyebrows. Why are you looking for me?
You were the one who secretly attacked that project in the development zone, right?
Ma Sans eyes darted around. He was a little surprised that the man in front of him hade because of this matter.
Whats your rtionship with President Ji from Chaoyang Group?
Ma San was no fool. The man in front of him was here because of this matter. Naturally, he had a close rtionship with Ji Qingyan from Chaoyang Group.
Shes my girlfriend.
Oh, so thats the rtionship.
Ma San said meaningfully, But 1 still want to know why you came to see me.
I dont really want to have a conflict with your side. Were all businessmen, and we value harmony. Harmony makes money. 1 dont want to have an unpleasant rtionship with you.
Heh
Ma San sneered, then snorted dismissively.
You said it yourself, were all businessmen. In this circle, power dictates whos right. Youing to me with empty words probably wont cut it.
Is there really no room for negotiation?
You took thend Huanghai Group was eyeing; we certainly wont let it go easily.
Ma San cut a piece of steak and ced it in his mouth. He chewed and tasted it carefully.
Dont talk to me about harmony and peace. No one is clean. Moreover, 1 myself was born evil. Thew cant restrain me.
Looks like theres no need to talk any further.
Dont say that.
Ma San wiped his mouth and ced his knife and fork on the table.
If you dont want me to pursue this matter, its actually very simple. It all depends on whether you can meet my demands.
Tell me.
Ma San pointed at the steak knife by the table with his chin.
Leave behind one hand, and I, Ma San, will promise you we wontpete for this project anymore.
Lin Yis gazended on the knife on the table.
Okay.
In the presidents office of Chaoyang Group.
On her desk was the blueprint that had just been delivered to her.
Around her, many of thepanys executives and engineers were analyzing the details of the blueprints to consider modifications.
She didnt want to leave anything out about the new project. She wanted every detail to be perfect.
Even if they ended up failing, at least they could say with a clear conscience that they had tried their best.
Ring ring ring!
Just as they were discussing the blueprints, thendline on Ji Qingyans desk rang. It was her secretary.
President Ji, President Li of Huanghai Group wants to meet you.
Li Huaxing is here?
Li Huaxings visit surprised not only Ji Qingyan, but also the other executives of the corporation.
The twopanies had just had a fiercepetition and conflict. In the end, Chaoyang Group obtained that piece ofnd. The twopanies should have nothing more to do with each other. Why did hee to thepany?
Well stop here for now. You guys can go back first.
Then well get going first.
Thepanys executives said their goodbyes and left her office.
Then, thetter said to the secretary,
Bring him to my office.
After hanging up, Ji Qingyan sped her hands together and rested her chin on them as she seriously considered Li Huaxings intentions.
Lin Yi had already resolved yesterdays matter. Could it be because of this?
Logically speaking, things shouldnt be that bad.
A few minutester, there was a knock on the office door, and the secretary walked in.
President Ji, President Li of Huanghai Group is here.
Behind the secretary stood a middle-aged man. He was plump and wore a ck suit with a 70-30 haircut. He didnt look very special.
The only good feature was that his expression was still kind.
President Ji, we meet again.
Upon entering Ji Qingyans office, Li Huaxing extended his hand. Thetter did the same, shaking hands as a form of greeting.
Compared to Ma San, Li Huaxing is more like a businessman. Hecked the bandit-like aura of Ma San, but he gave off the vibe of a smiling tiger, making him seem quite cunning.
President Li, this way please.
Ji Qingyan led Li Huaxing to the sofa. The secretary poured two sses of water and sat to the side, waiting for Ji Qingyans next instructions.
President Ji, I came here this time mainly to talk to you about the development area project, Li Huaxing said politely.
The bidding has already ended, and the project is about to start. There shouldnt be any more room for discussion on this matter, right?
There is. It depends on whether President Ji is willing to talk to me.
Ji Qingyan paused for a moment, her keen business instincts telling her that Li Huaxings visit wouldnt be without reason. He must have other backing.
Otherwise, given his status, it would be out of character for him to do this.
Then lets talk openly.
Ji Qingyan knew that this could not be a friendly business negotiation. There had to be something else that she did not know.
Therefore, she couldnt sense the atmosphere of a sincere negotiation on her part, only wanting to understand Li Huaxings real purpose for this visit.
As far as I know, the project has already started, but it doesnt seem to be going too smoothly. This should be the case.
Hearing Li Huaxings words, Ji Qingyan smiled.
Regarding the events of yesterday, Ive gathered some information. I believe those who were causing trouble under false pretenses must have some ties to President Li..
Chapter 1635 - 1635: Scared to the point of peeing
Chapter 1635: Scared to the point of peeing
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Ji Qingyans calmness andposure surprised Li Huaxing.
He did not expect her to be so calm at such a young age.
He spoke casually.
No, no, no. President Ji, dont misunderstand. What happened yesterday might just be a coincidence. Dont take it to heart.
Indeed. In our line of work, its only natural that something like this happens, said Ji Qingyan with a smile.
However, such matters are indeed troublesome, and 1 suspect there will continue to be people like this in the future. I think President Ji must have a deep understanding of this.
Ji Qingyan was a little confused by his words.
Did he think that he could threaten her like this?
Indeed, there will be endless troubles. However, mypany has been operating for so many years and has encountered many such things. However, they have all been resolved in the end. If President Li thinks that this can affect ourpany, I dont think you underestimate us.
Li Huaxing took a sip of water to hide the uneasiness he felt.
Ji Qingyans attitude and her unyielding attitude during the conversation was something he did not expect.
Putting down the ss of water, Li Huaxingughed.
Actually, when we werepeting for this project, President Ji should have been able to see how important this project is to us. You also know the scale of the Huanghai Group. If our twopanies choose to cooperate, I believe that in the future, the scale of the Chaoyang Group will rise to another level. The benefits it will bring are definitely not something this project canpare to.
This is ourpanys strategic n. President Li doesnt understand the actual situation. Its ultimately wrong to make such a rash evaluation.
The secretary sitting at the side was secretly shocked.
Having been by President Jis side for so many years, this was the first time she had seen her use such a tone and attitude to discuss business with others.
The corners of Li Huaxings mouth curled up into a cold smile.
Alright, if President Ji can still bear losses like those ofst night, just pretend that I, Li Huaxing, did not say anything today.
Huh?
Ji Qingyan mumbled, not knowing what Li Huaxing meant.
President Ji, lets stop here for today. But theres something else I have to tell you, Li Huaxing said.
Our Huanghai Group values this project very much and doesnt intend to give it up like this. If you change your mind one day in the future and want to talk to us about this project again, I, Li Huaxing, will wee you anytime.
Take care.
Ji Qingyan got up and was about to continue working when the office door was pushed open. Surprisingly, she saw Lin Yi walking in.
Why are you here?
Seeing Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan suddenly felt a sense of relief.
I came to chat with him. Lin Yi looked at Li Huaxing and said.
Get your secretary out of here.
The secretary was very tactful. She said goodbye and walked out of the office.
Talk to me?
Li Huaxings gazended on Ji Qingyan.
Mr. Ji, who is this gentleman?
He said boyfriend, Lin Yi.
Hello, Mr. Lin.
Li Huaxing stood up and extended his hand, but Lin Yi was unmoved.
Li Huaxing wasnt embarrassed. He retracted his hand and looked at Lin Yi with a fake smile.
Mr. Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?
Its nothing serious. Its mainly about Ma San. You must be familiar with him.
Seeing Lin Yi mention Ma San, Li Huaxings expression changed slightly.
Hes my assistant, but he didnt follow us this time. Why did Mr. Lin mention him? Did something happen?
Lin Yi smiled. Ive more or less understood your methods. You didnt get thend in the development zone, so you went to the project site to cause trouble in order to make uspromise. This is your go-to approach, right?
Mr. Lin, dont say that. Were all legal businessmen. How could we do such a thing?
At a time like this, its meaningless to pretend to be ignorant. Moreover, 1 met Ma San just now and chatted with him for a while, so its meaningless for you to lie to me.
You two met!
Li Huaxings eyes narrowed. He had not expected this, and his expression became serious.
Mr. Lin, why are you telling me this?
Actually, its nothing. 1 just want to show you something. This will speak more than a thousand words.
See what?
Lin Yi threw the ck bag on the coffee table.
From its appearance, it looked like a cylinder, but they did not know what it was.
Ji Qingyan was also a little curious. Did Lin Yie all the way here just to give this to Li Huaxing?
Li Huaxing nced at Lin Yi with a cautious expression.
Then, he carefully opened the ck stic bag!
All!
Seeing what was inside, Li Huaxing let out a scream!
Because there was a hand in the ck stic bag!
There was also an emerald gold ring on the hands middle finger!
He clearly remembered that he had bought the ring at an auction and given it to Ma San!
At the same time, Lin Yi reached out and covered Ji Qingyans eyes, preventing her from seeing what was inside.
Ji Qingyans body stiffened. She instinctively guessed that the item inside might not be suitable for her to see.
Li Huaxings body trembled and his face turned pale. You, you actually!
Do you still need me to talk nonsense now?
No, theres no need. You dont have to say anything.
We wee normal businesspetition, but I dont want to do such a thing again. Lin Yi said.
Dont me me for not giving you a chance. Its fine if you want to develop on the maind, but its best not toe to the coastal area. As long as Im alive, your Li family can forget about encroaching here.
Li Huaxings body was shaking like a terminally ill patient. His head was buzzing, and he couldnt even hear what Lin Yi was saying.
I-Ill take my leave first.
Li Huaxing hurriedly stood up. This man gave him a terrifying feeling. He did not want to stay here any longer.
Take it away. Dont leave it with us.
Okay, okay
Li Huaxing agreed in a panic. Then, he grabbed the ck stic bag and fled the office in a panic.
Done.
The moment the door closed, Lin Yi removed his hand.
What did you show him? You blocked my view.
Its not something good. Its not suitable for children.
Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes at Lin Yi. Youre always doing things that are inappropriate for children. Im surprised you still know this saying.
How do you know that I do things that are inappropriate for children every day? Did 1 expose myself? Lin Yi pretended to be surprised.
You try to take advantage of me every day. Isnt that enough?
Thats nothing. I thought youd found out. You scared me.
Huh? Ji Qingyans expression froze as she looked at Lin Yi like a little detective.. Dont tell me youve done something else?
Chapter 1636 - 1636: A Woman’s Mouth Only Lies
Chapter 1636: A Womans Mouth Only Lies
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Well Lin Yi pretended to be mysterious.
The secrets of heaven cant be revealed. I cant tell you.
No, you have to tell me.
Ji Qingyan could not take it anymore and asked Lin Yi from behind.
She looked like she would annoy him to death if he didnt tell her. He was apletely different person from when they were talking just now.
When youre sleeping, I do whatever I want.
Bullsh*t. If you touched me while I was sleeping, Im sure Id feel something. Enough lies.
You really underestimate the quality of your sleep.
Lin Yi took out his phone and showed Ji Qingyan the video he had recorded earlier.
Tell me, with your current sleep quality, 1 dont think a nuclear weapon explosion can wake you up. How would you know if 1 did something?
In the video, Ji Qingyan saw that her sleeping posture was extremely indecent.
Lin Yi even pinched her face and kicked her butt a few times.
The most infuriating thing was that she did not react at all!
All!
Ji Qingyan shrieked, Hurry up and delete all the video! We cant keep those things!
Without giving Lin Yi a chance to react, Ji Qingyan snatched his phone and deleted all the relevant videos and photos. Only then was she satisfied.
Just you wait. When you go to bed in the middle of the night, Ill secretly record you too.
As long as you can get up, you can record whatever you want.
She twitched her adorable nose and was at a loss for words.
With the quality of her sleep, it was really difficult for her to wake up in the middle of the night.
Alright, dont talk about this anymore.
Are you done with the project?
I gave that Ma San a lesson, so this matter can be considered closed.
Now, I dont have to worry about the construction side of things anymore, Ji Qingyan said.
By the way, I remembered, the notice mentioned yesterday said there would be a seven-day training session, and it seems to be a closed session.
Lin Yi nodded. I cant go home at night, but you can visit me during the day.
With your connections in Zhonghai, you dont have to participate in this kind of pre-service training, right?
Thats true, but it would be pointless to make exceptions, Lin Yi said.
Its all about experiencing life. Unless theres something special, its best to follow their requirements.
Youre right.
Lets go out for a walk tonight. Youre almost out of toiletries. Well go out and buy some after work. You can use them during training.
All right.
If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can stay here. You can help me review the candidates for the vice president position.
When do the interviews start?
In a week, you cane over and help me when your training ends.
No problem.
Since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, Lin Yi didnt go anywhere else. However, he didnt go to Ji Qingyans office either. Instead, he went to the sales department to find Wang Ying to explore the mysteries of life.
After work that night, the two of them drove to Henglong Square.
Although she was here to buy things for Lin Yi, in Lin Yis eyes, this was a cover story.
Even though Lin Yi hadnt bought anything yet, Ji Qingyan had bought a dress and sandals for herself.
After happily purchasing her sandals and skirt, Ji Qingyan hooked her arm around Lin Yis. Lets go to the first floor to buy toiletries.
Youre finally thinking of me. I thought youd forgotten why youre here today.
Aiya, dont say that. How could I have forgotten about you?
She knew that she was in the wrong, so she did not argue and pulled him to the first floor.
They say a mans mouth can be deceitfully persuasive.
But at times, such a statement applied to women as well.
Because upon arriving here, Ji Qingyan didnt buy anything for Lin Yi but chose two skincare products for herself. Only after feelingpletely satisfied did she proceed to shop for what Lin Yi needed.
With familiarity, Ji Qingyan led Lin Yi straight to the SK2 counter.
Come in. Why are you standing outside?
Dont you want to buy skincare? 111 wait for you outside.
I bought everything for you.
You bought it for me? Are you sure?
Of course.
Im not used to these things. Forget it.
Because of his family, Lin Yi had never used skincare ever since he was young.
Every time he was at home, Ji Qingyan would force him to apply some.
Moreover, every time she touched him, his face would feel ufortable, causing him toin that he was a straight man.
It might have been okay in the past, but not anymore, Ji Qingyan said.
Being a police officer means you cant avoid being exposed to the wind and sun. You must take care of your skin, or else you can say goodbye to your face. Pfft, she was obsessed with looks!
Lin Yi!
Just as Ji Qingyan was pulling Lin Yi inside, she suddenly heard someone call his name.
She turned around and saw a tall woman.
If Ji Qingyans looks were considered to be a perfect loo, then the woman behind her would be around 90.
Beside her stood a young man with his hairbed back. He was wearing ck cks, brown leather shoes, and a blue shirt, giving off the aura of a business elite.
Looking at the tall woman standing in front of him, Lin Yi felt that she looked a little familiar. He thought for a few minutes before remembering who she was.
It was his high school ssmate, Li Mengyao.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and, if he remembered correctly, she was the top student in their ss.
Then she went on to pursue her graduate studies at a 985 university, and after that, there was no more news from her.
However, back in the day, she had written him a love letter, which he had ignored.
Because he received so many love letters, he had be numb to them.
What a coincidence. We actually met here.
Lin Yi nodded and didnt respond.
Ever since the love letter incident, Li Mengyao had always had a grudge against Lin Yi. When they were in school, she always made things difficult for him. Their rtionship wasnt very good either. Even though they had met many yearster, there wasnt much to talk about.
Yaoyao, who is this person? asked Li Mengyaos boyfriend.
However, most of his attention was focused on Ji Qingyan.
He had thought that his girlfriend was beautiful enough. He did not expect to meet such a woman who was close to a perfect 10 today!
Hes my undergraduate ssmate. After graduating, I got into graduate school. Then, he got a job. This is the first time weve met in so many years.
With that, Li Mengyao looked at Lin Yi and said,
Lin Yi, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Qi Lei. Hes starting his own business and has justpleted his Series B fundraising. He received more than 30 million yuan in investment and is always busy. If I hadnt dragged him out today, he probably wouldnt have had the time to rx..
Chapter 1637 - 1637: Angry at the Green Tea Girl
Chapter 1637: Angry at the Green Tea Girl
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi was speechless.
Is this just because I ignored you back then? Is there a need to brood over it and act cool?
Thats not bad, Lin Yi agreed casually.
Come to think of it, we havent seen each other for many years. I heard from your girlfriend just now that you seem to have be a police officer. Is that true?
Yes, it is.
Why are you a police officer? Its so dangerous. Its better to find a normal job.
Its a personal interest.
I have a friend who used to be a police officer. I think his sry is only about 6,000 yuan. What about you? It should be about the same, right?
Lin Yi nodded. After 1 be a full-time employee, Ill be able to get around that much money.
I feel that this kind of sry is barely enough to live in a third- or fourth-tier city, but in a city like Zhonghai, its definitely not enough to support yourself. Li Mengyao said.
Furthermore, your family has no power or influence. It will be quite difficult for you to be promoted in the future. 1 reckon that your budget will be quite tight.
Is this considered a tight budget? Lin Yi said.
I remember when you were in school, your monthly living expenses were only about 1,000 yuan, and you neverined about being strapped for cash. You lived quite well, so howe my sry of 6,ooo yuan is not enough?
Li Mengyao looked embarrassed, even somewhat distressed.
She didnt expect Lin Yi to mention this.
That was years ago. Intion wasnt that bad. Back then, a thousand was enough to finance myself. Now, naturally, its not.
Li Mengyao raised her voice subconsciously as if someone had stepped on her tail. She didnt want Lin Yi to bring up her past of being poor.
Besides, everything was cheap in school. It cant bepared to society. Now, your monthly sry is 6,ooo yuan. To be honest, its only equal to my weekly living expenses. Your life with your girl should be quite unsatisfactory, right?
You dont have to worry about it. Were doing quite well.
Li Mengyao smiled. Youre really lucky. Based on your qualifications, it should be quite difficult to find a girlfriend in Zhonghai. Besides, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Work hard. If you cant earn enough money to buy a house, your future mother-inw wont agree to the rtionship. Work hard. Bye bye.
After showing off her superiority, Li Mengyao entered the SK2 store provocatively without even looking at Lin Yi.
Dont tell me something is going on between the two of you? Ji Qingyan asked suspiciously. Why did she start arguing with you right from the start?
Initially, Ji Qingyan was furious. With her temper, she would have retaliated long ago.
However, Li Mengyaomented that she was quite pretty, so her anger was immediately cut in half.
Therefore, one shouldnt guess a womans thoughts. No matter how you tried to guess, you wouldnt understand.
She wrote me a love letter when I was in school, but I ignored her. She is probably bearing a grudge. I didnt expect her to still remember it. Lin Yi said helplessly.
It probably left an impression on her.
Is it really that serious, to remember such a small matter for so long? Ji Qingyan said, tilting her chin up.
When I was in school, a lot of boys wrote me love letters, and 1 rejected them all. But in the end, we all got along fine, hmm
Thats because your family is wealthy, Lin Yi shrugged. Who would want to make an enemy of someone with money?
Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes. This seemed to make sense.
Just as they were talking, they heard Li Mengyaos voice.
I heard your store recentlyunched a new mens ck gold set. Has it arrived yet?
It just arrived today. Youvee at the right time; theres only one set left in the store.
Perfect, pack it up for me, Li Mengyao said.
My boyfriend is going on a business trip in a few days, and he just happens to need a new set of toiletries.
With that, Li Mengyao nced at Lin Yi, who was standing outside, with a sense of superiority.
Alright, please wait a moment.
Soon, the shop assistant found the ck gold set that Li Mengyao mentioned.
It was about the size of a shoebox and the packaging was exceptionally exquisite. It looked like a work of art.
Hello, maam. It cost a total of 46,800 yuan. Do you want to swipe your card or scan the QR code?
Just as Li Mengyao was about to scan the QR code, her hand trembled. What did you say? 46,800?
Yes, one set is 46,800.
Are you mistaken? I saw it on the Inte. Its 6,900 yuan a set. Why is it 46,800 yuan here?
The staff was also a little confused. He tentatively reminded,
The 6,900 yuan youre talking about might be the cost for the skincare products inside. Its just a single product, not the entire set. There are a total of 12 single products in this set, so the price
All Li Mengyaoughed awkwardly, So thats what happened.
Although her boyfriend had raised some money, it belonged to thepany and other shareholders. He could not spend it himself.
Although his conditions were not bad, a 46,800 yuan set was very extravagant for them.
The staff smiled back, trying to ease the awkwardness.
Would you like to swipe your card or scan the code?
I dont need the other items, Im only interested in the toner. Just pack that for me.
Isnt your boyfriend going on a trip? The toiletries in the set should be useful to him, right?
The salesperson was trying to make a sale, hoping to earn a highermission by persuading her to buy the whole set.
Plus, you just said you wanted to buy a set. Its not cost-effective to buy just the toner.
Well
Li Mengyao paused for a moment and said, I made a slip of the tongue just now. I really dont need a set. I just need one of the single products, so stop promoting it.
Seeing that Li Mengyao wasnt willing to buy the whole set, the waiters expression changed slightly. Im sorry, this is a set. The items inside cant be sold seperately.
Then theres nothing we can do. What a pity.
The salesperson didnt say anything, reluctantly took the items out of the bag, and prepared to put them back.
Since youve already taken it out, dont put it back. I want it, said Ji Qingyan.
Huh?
Seeing that Ji Qingyan wanted to buy it, Li Mengyao and the salesperson were stunned.
You want to buy it?
Ji Qingyan nced at Li Mengyao. What else?
Lin Yis sry is only around 6000 yuan. If he buys this, hell have wasted half a years worth of sry. You have to take it easy, Li Mengyao said sarcastically.
If you have the money, save it for a house.
Maam, you cant afford it. Please dont disturb the other customers, okay? The salesperson said unhappily.
What did you say? Who said I cant afford it?! Li Mengyao was furious.
If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you first, the salesperson retorted.
I do want to buy it, but only as long as its a single item, I wont be able to use the rest. If you wont sell it separately, how can I buy it?
Maam, looking at your attire, you seem to be a person whos experienced in life and knowledgeable about cosmetics. When have you ever seen items from a set being sold separately?
You!
As to whats really going on, I think we all understand, so I wont spell it out. But please, dont interfere with our business.
Lin Yi smacked his lips. The salesperson really had a way with words.
How eloquent.
Chapter 1638 - 1638: Divestment
Chapter 1638: Divestment
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Alright, ignore them.
Li Mengyaos boyfriend said,
With their situation, theyll probably have to eat dirt this year after buying this set of cosmetics. Only they know what their lives are like. Theres no need to fight over these things.
Li Mengyao nodded. Youre right. Theres really no need to fight over this.
Ji Qingyan shook her head nonchntly. She did not want to argue with them, so she took out her bank card and handed it to the waiter.
The password is oooooo.
Yo, Lin Yi, why are you asking your girlfriend to pay when youre out shopping? Li Mengyao crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a dignified manner.
I really didnt expect the most handsome guy in our school to get together with a rich woman. If this gets out, youll be famous.
You can say whatever you want about this.
Dont worry, Ill definitely promote it for you. Now that youve hooked up with a rich woman, youre considered rich. Youll make all the other students envious.
You can be as envious as you want since its free.
Sir, please sign this.
The waiter walked over with a bank receipt in his hand.
Why do you need me to sign it?
This has to be signed by the card owner himself.
Understood.
Lin Yi took a pen and signed his name.
By the way, I remember something. I have a diamond membership card from your mall. It seems like I can get a 50% discount. Can you recalcte the final cost?
Diamond membership!
Seeing the membership card in Lin Yis hand, the salesperson was stunned.
You have a diamond membership card!
Previously, I came to your ce. President Li gave it to me, but it hasnt been used in a long time. The rules havent changed, right?
No, no, no. It hasnt changed. Ill recalcte the price for you now.
Normally speaking, it would be useless even if he took out his membership card after paying.
However, diamond membership cards were different. There were no more than five in all of Zhonghai, and they held great privileges in Henglong Square.
The salesperson had to deal with it properly.
Otherwise, he would lose his job.
Wait a minute!
Li Mengyao stepped forward and said,
I recall that the highest level here is a tinum membership card. Where did this diamond membership carde from?
Our diamond membership cards are not publicly distributed. The president of ourpany personally gives them out. There are no more than five of them in Zhonghai.
The president gave it to you personally!
Li Mengyao looked at Lin Yi in surprise. She couldnt figure out why Lin Yi had such an exclusive membership card!
Are you guys mistaken? Hes my university ssmate. His family background is terrible, and he works as a police officer. How can he have such a special membership card? He must have picked it up. I think you should call the police.
Youre overthinking, the salesperson said sarcastically.
ording to the information disyed on the card, the cardholder is indeed Mr. Lin Yi. I hope you wont judge others by your own narrow-minded standards.
His card!
Li Mengyao looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. Impossible. There are no more than five such cards in the entire Zhonghai. How could you have such privileges! Didnt they tell you not to judge others by your own narrow-mindedness? If you cant understand it, then dont bother thinking about it. Its no good for you.
Thats bullshit!
Li Mengyao felt humiliated and shouted,
No matter what, my boyfriend is a boss with a worth of tens of millions. If hes not qualified, how can you be?!
Hes just the boss of a start-uppany. Where did you get such a sense of superiority?
Thats still better than you! Even if you dont eat or drink for the rest of your life, you wont earn as much as he does in a year!
Haha, to be able to earn so much money in a year, thats quite impressive. Lin Yi said.
However, its hard to say if hispany will still remain open tomorrow. Be mentally prepared. Dont say that I didnt warn you.
Are you jealous of my boyfriend? Im surprised you can even say something like that. Do you think it will work? Li Mengyao said.
Im not afraid to tell you that the CEOs of several venture capitalpanies are very optimistic about their boyfriends project and are prepared to fork out money to him. Let me tell you openly, theres no way it will close down. Moreover, it will be listed in less than two years. When the timees, hell have money you will never see in your whole life.
Well see.
With that, Lin Yi left with Ji Qingyan.
Lets go, darling. Ignore them. Li Mengyao held onto her boyfriends arm.
Dont listen to him curse you. Youre just a keyboard warrior living at the bottom of society. You wont be able to make aeback for the rest of your life.
I dont care about such people, but Im just a little curious. He actually has a diamond membership card. Ordinary people cant get it, Qi Lei said.
Perhaps his identity is special. After all, hes a police officer. Due to some special reasons, he got to know the CEO of Henglong Square. Its not too strange for him to get this membership card.
Youre right.
Lets go somewhere else. After were done shopping, well go eat. Im a little hungry.
Lets go.
After that, Li Mengyao and her boyfriend walked around the mall for more than half an hour. After buying everything they needed, they went to a western restaurant for dinner.
They had also forgotten about Lin Yi and didnt take it to heart.
Ring ring ring!
After dinner, the two of them went to the parking lot and were about to go home, but just as they got into the car, Qi Leis phone rang.
All, President Zhang called me.
Which President Zhang? Is it President Zhang from Sunrise New Capital?
Thats him, Qi Lei said.
Back then, after he invested 30 million yuan in me, the two of us chatted privately for a while and said that he valued my project very much. He wanted to go back and study it before investing again. 1 think this is the oue. Li Mengyaos eyes lit up. How much can we get this time?
A conservative estimate is more than 100 million, Qi Lei said proudly.
Thats because many venture capitalpanies have taken a fancy to this project and have invested a lot of money in me. In order to get arger stake, he will definitely fork out more money, so it will have to be more than 100 million yuan. It cant be any less.
Li Mengyao was so excited that her heart was pounding.
She had never thought that she would one day be a billionaire!
This was 100 million!
She had never seen so much money in her life.
Hurry, hurry, hurry. Hurry up and pick up President Zhangs call. He might hang up soon.
Qi Lei nodded and answered the call.
President Zhang, were you looking for me? Qi Lei chuckled.
I was just thinking about asking you out for tea tomorrow. I didnt expect you to call.
Theres no need for tea. I have something to tell you. Im nning to withdraw the 30 million yuan VC investment. Im calling you to let you know this..

Chapter 1639: Offended Someone She Shouldnt Have Offended
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
What did you say?! You want to withdraw your investment?!
Qi Lei screamed. He felt like he was hallucinating.
Our project is thriving. The market share and daily revenue are steadily increasing. The prospects are great. It will be a huge loss for you to withdraw your investment now.
Dont think about the future. Its already good news that its not closed. You should think about your future development hard.
The other party did not give Qi Lei a chance to speak or exin too much before hanging up.
The two of them, who had been so excited just now, were now silent. No one knew what was going on.
Ring ring ring!
Just then, Qi Leis phone rang again.
Its President Zhao from Kasheng Capital.
Quick, quick, quick. Pick it up and ask him why hes looking for you, said Li Mengyao.
Little Qi.
President Qi, why are you looking for me?
Its not a big deal, didnt I say that 1 would invest 20 million yuan in you? Im preparing to withdraw my investment, so I called to inform you.
Another divestment!
Qi Lei widened his eyes and opened his mouth. He could not understand what went wrong.
Before this, these two venture capital firms had taken the initiative to look for him to invest in him.
And now, they had actually withdrawn their investment at the same time. Why was this happening?!
Another divestment? Said the other party.
Did someone else call you to divest?
Yes, yes
Although he did not want to say it, Qi Lei knew that this matter could not be hidden.
Then its not a coincidence. In the next few days, other investors will probably tell you they are withdrawing as well. Youd better be mentally prepared. If theres nothing else, Ill hang up first. Youre on your own.
President Zhao, wait!
Just as the other party was about to hang up, Qi Lei quickly stopped him. Whats going on? Why are you withdrawing your investments?!
Do I need to tell you what youve done?
Qi Lei and Li Mengyao were a little confused. They did not understand what he meant at all.
Director Zhao, I really dont understand what you mean. 1 havent done anything recently. Ive been busy with thepanys matters. Youve all seen the quality and function of the products. Theres no problem at all. Everythings fine. Why are you all withdrawing your investments?
This Sigh
No matter what, were acquaintances. 1 have a good impression of you. Ill be honest with you. You offended someone you shouldnt have.
Offended someone I shouldnt have?
The two of them were surprised. We didnt offend anyone. Besides, Im just a neer in the entrepreneurial circle. 1 know my own strength. How could I offend those business big shots?
Im not too sure about what happened on your side, but the ones who are attacking you are Lingyun Group. I dont need to say much about their power in the industry. You know them very well.
Lingyun Group!
The two of them eximed in unison. As people in the entrepreneurial circle, they would be fools if they did not know about Lingyun Group!
Lingyun Group was a unicorn in the semiconductor industry.
There was even a rumor.
If they went public, their market value could rival that of tech giants like Tencent and Alibaba.
However, he had no interaction with the people from thispany. He had never even seen their higher-ups. How could he offend them?
You should know whats going on now, right? I wont say anything else. Youre on your own.
Wait, President Zhao. Qi Lei quickly stopped the other party.
Can you make it clearer? I still dont understand. I really didnt offend them!
Are you sure? the other party said.
In the Lingyun Group, there are a total of three people who have the ability to crush you. One is the second-inmand, President Qi Xianzhao, and their CEOs trusted aide, the chief financial officer, He Yuanyuan. Theres also the vice-president of Lingyun Capital, Tian Yan. Are you sure you didnt offend these three people?
I really didnt!
Qi Lei said affirmatively, To be honest, if it werent for you, 1 wouldnt even know these three big shots. How could I have offended them? Could it be a misunderstanding?
Thats unlikely. These three people are the stabilizing force behind Lingyun Group. If you didnt offend them, they shouldnt have made such a big fuss.
I really dont know them. There must be a misunderstanding.
If you really dont know them, there might really be a misunderstanding, the other party said.
However, theres another person in the Lingyun Group that you cant afford to offend. Its their president, Lin Yi. However, that person is very mysterious. It would be tough for you to offend him. There must be a misunderstanding. Come and visit tomorrow. Ill hang up first.
Qi Lei and Li Mengyao seemed to have been petrified as they remained motionless in the car.
They didnt even remember when the other party hung up.
This was because they had heard a terrifying message on the phone!
The president of Lingyun Group was called Lin Yi!
The two of them looked at each other with terrified expressions. It was as if someone was hitting their heads with a heavy hammer!
At this moment, the two of them remembered what Lin Yi had just said.
He said that theirpany would close tomorrow!
The current situation!
It really came true!
In addition, he also had the diamond membership card of Henglong Square!
This was not something that just anyone could have!
If it wasnt for the president of Lingyun Group, the president of Henglong za wouldnt have given him a membership card!
No wonder he bought a set that cost more than 40,000 yuan just like that. He was much more impressive than him!
Li Mengyao gulped, shocked by Lin Yis true identity!
He had just graduated from university a few years ago, but he had actually founded such a hugepany!
What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call your ssmate to plead for mercy!
Alright, alright, alright
After being yelled at by Qi Lei, Li Mengyao finally reacted.
Now that he was so wealthy, not only did she need to speak to him for her boyfriends sake, but she also needed to curry favor with him!
However, after searching for a long time, she realized that Lin Yis contact information was nowhere to be found.
I-I dont have his number
F*ck!
Qi Lei pped Li Mengyaos face. Its all your f*cking fault. You had to show off in front of him. Otherwise, 1 wouldnt be like this.
Li Mengyao covered her face and said, I-I didnt know that a poor loser like him would be so rich!
Im telling you, if you dont settle this matter for me, just see how I deal with you!
After leaving Henglong Square, the two of them drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion. Ji Qingyan fiddled with the ck-gold box for a while.
In the end, he picked out six of the items and said,
Face wash, shampoo, shower gel, sunscreen. The moisturizer and toothpaste are yours. The rest will be mine.
Huh? Didnt you buy it for me? Why are you taking half of it?

Chapter 1640: Reporting In
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Its mainly because you cant use the other things. Its a waste to throw them away. I can only reluctantly pick them up and use them myself.
Why does it sound like youre the one whos been wronged?
Isnt that the case?
I dont even use their cosmetics, but for your sake, 1 bought an entire set. 1 cant throw away the rest, so I can only reluctantly use them. I never realized that I was such an understanding person.
Olddy, you should hurry up and take a shower. Dont be so unreasonable.
She chuckled and headed upstairs with her cosmetics and new clothes.
This was a routine every time she came back from shopping. She had to take the things back and y with them for a while.
In her words, it was a sense of ritual.
At Huashan Hospital in Zhonghai.
During the day, not long after Lin Yi left the Jiangnan Spring Hotel, Ma San was sent to the hospital by his subordinates.
With the coboration of many departments, it took the entire morning to stabilize his situation.
It seemed very serious and terrifying, but to the doctors in the hospital, it was simr to an amputation. It was not difficult to deal with, but the scene was a little bloody.
However, the doctors of Huashan Hospital were all experienced. They could tell at a nce that someone had cut his hand off. Therefore, when they performed the surgery, they were a little frightened.
Ordinary people simply do not sustain such injuries, indicating that the victim is not an ordinary person and definitely not clean.
In the dead of night, Li Huaxing drove to the hospital after receiving a call that Ma San had awakened and wanted to check on his condition.
Arriving at the fourth inpatient department, Li Huaxing entered Ma Sans private room to find him pale, with his hands wrapped in thick bandages, a sight that was shocking to see.
President Li.
Seeing Li Huaxing, Ma San said with difficulty.
Youve been wronged. I didnt expect this to happen. Li Huaxing sighed. That man is more ruthless than I thought.
This is also something I didnt expect, Ma San said expressionlessly.
Ive already contacted the people in Shianggang. We must take revenge. We definitely wont let him off!
This ce is different from Shianggang. Its not our Li familys territory. You have to be careful in everything you do. Dont make any more mistakes.
Although he did not say it explicitly, Li Huaxing had acquiesced to Ma Sans actions.
His father was already old and it was time to split the family assets. He would be the first sessor if he could make a name for himself on the maind.
Therefore, he could not let this matter rest!
Dont worry, President Li. Ill personally bring someone over this time. I wont make a mistake on the business trip again.
Li Huaxing nodded and sat on the chair beside him.
Hows your injury? What did the doctor say?
Ma Sans face was gloomy, and his expression was extremely ugly. It seemed to be a memory that he did not want to recall.
We got into a fight, and hes very skilled. Not only did he manage to cut off one of my hands, but he also broke one of my legs. After the injury stabilizes, Ill need to have a steel te inserted and will have to stay here for a while.
Theres no need to stay here. Ill take you back to Shianggang.
As a trusted subordinate who had followed him for many years, Li Huaxing knew how important Ma San was to him and did not want to leave him ind.
President Li, dont worry. It will be very troublesome to return to Shianggang at this time. I can get treated here first. Ma San said.
Moreover, we can take care of our business on the maind and take revenge. Lets stay here for the time being.
Li Huaxing nodded. Then well do as you say. Theres another piece ofnd being auctioned in Zhonghai. I have to go back and prepare. If you need anything, just let me know.
Understood, Mr. Li doesnt need to worry about me. The arrangements for the maind shouldnt be dyed on my ount. Ill handle this matter as quickly as possible.
Alright, for now, dont think about anything else. Focus on healing. We can discuss other matterster.
Thank you, President Li.
The next morning, Ji Qingyan hummed a tune as she got out of bed to cook. She was in an exceptionally good mood.
While Lin Yi was eating, Ji Qingyan returned upstairs to change her clothes. When she arrived, Lin Yi was stunned.
She wore blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a ck jacket. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail.
In her hands, she also held a pair of ck Doc Martens boots, clearly meant to match the outfit she was wearing.
Styles like Doc Martens boots are generally hard for the average person to pull off, as they demand very specific leg types.
Your legs must be both long and straight, and not too thin, but most importantly, your posterior needs to be perky. Otherwise, the overall aesthetic appeal would be greatly diminished.
Thankfully, Ji Qingyans figure fit all of these requirements perfectly, and she looked cool and valiant.
Why did you change your style today? You rarely wear such clothes.
Youve already be a police officer, so I have to match you. Ji Qingyan spun around on the ground. How is it? It looks pretty good, right?
Its good. Lin Yi said.
But its useless for you to dress like this. 1 cant possibly wear a uniform and go out with you.
Its just a ritual. Ji Qingyan giggled.
Ill send you to work today. Its a good time to see where we are and take a look.
President Ji personally sent me to work. Wouldnt those new colleagues be envious?
Its useless to be envious, hehe.
With that, Ji Qingyan nted a kiss on Lin Yis cheek. She was in a good mood.
Because it was a closed-door training session, Ji Qingyan took out Lin Yis suitcase after breakfast. It was filled with clothes and toiletries.
Although Ji Qingyan was supposed to send Lin Yi over, Lin Yi still ended up driving.
Ji Qingyan instinctively sat in the passenger seat, taking several selfies to document her new look.
The training venue was the Xinshan District. Lin Yi had some impression of this ce.
Compared to the city, this ce was considered a suburb. Although there were some bungalows, it was different from the countryside. It was just not as developed.
Previously, during a conversation with Liang Ruoxu, Lin Yi learned that this area was also a focus of nning, and he had already informed Ji Qingyan to strategize ordingly in this area.
The environment seems a bitcking, but its still not bad, not as bad as I imagined.
Anyway, its still in the vicinity of Zhonghai, so naturally, it wont be too bad, just not as developed.
Ji Qingyan nodded, Lets go, Ill walk you in.
The two of them got out of the car, and Lin Yi brought the luggage down.
He looked at the door and realized that there were many people like him carrying things and walking in.
But at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly saw a familiar figure, and his heart skipped a beat.
F*ck, it cant be her, right?
Chapter 1641 - 1641: Enemies Meet
Chapter 1641: Enemies Meet
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Looking at the tall woman walking into the building in front of him, Lin Yi felt that she was very simr to the tigress he had seen in Yuhang.
It couldnt be such a coincidence, right?
What are you waiting for? Lets go, said Ji Qingyan.
Lets go.
Lin Yi carried his luggage and walked towards the branch office building. He stopped at the door.
Mr. Lin, train well and be an honorable police officer.
Sure thing.
When you get your uniform, remember to send me a selfie. You must look handsome.
After all this talk, you just want a photo of me in uniform, right?
Dont say that. Your purpose is to serve the people. Am I right?
Right.
Well, am I considered a citizen?
Not bad, Ji Qingyan. Youve already learned how to trick me.
Hehe, my logic is sound. How can it be considered a trick? Ji Qingyan smiled and said.
Alright, hurry up and report in. Contact me by phone if you need anything.
Yes, I will.
Since he was not going on a long trip, Ji Qingyan was not that reluctant to part.
After kissing Lin Yi on the cheek, she waved her hand and watched him leave.
Lin Yi took his luggage and walked into the building.
Lin Yis appearance attracted the attention of many people.
Especially the female police officers. When they saw Lin Yi, they couldnt help but reveal stunned expressions as their jaws hung open.
Are you here for training? a short-haired policewoman asked.
Yes, 1 am.
Go to the conference room on the second floor. You have a training meeting to attend. The training mission will only start in the afternoon.
Okay, thanks.
Following the other party, Lin Yi took his luggage to the second floor.
Looking at Lin Yis back as he left, the short-haired policewoman who spoke to him said excitedly,
Grandma, Yiran really hit the jackpot this time, having such a handsome guy to train under her. Isnt she going to be overjoyed?
Big sister, show some restraint, anotherpanion said.
Theyre there for training, not for whatever youre thinking about. It has nothing to do with being delighted.
But such a handsome guy is pleasing to the eye, and who knows, something might happen.
Stop daydreaming. This isnt a TV drama. Such good fortune doesnte around that often.
At this moment, Gu Yiran, who was wearing a uniform, walked to the second floor with a pile of documents in his hand.
Gu Yiran was the cool type to begin with. After putting on this uniform, she looked different.
Yiran, Yiran!
Gu Yiran, who was looking at the materials, looked up subconsciously when he heard his colleague calling him.
What happened?
I have great news for you. Theres an especially handsome young man among this batch of trainees. His looks are simply heaven-defying. It just so happens that youre single too. You can go for it.
Can the two of you behave? Gu Yiran rolled her eyes and said.
Im working, not going on a blind date. 1 wont spend that much effort.
Youre the kind of person who says no but is very honest physically. When you see him, you probably wont be able to control yourself either.
Tsk, Im not as love-crazy as you.
That being said, Gu Yiran started to have doubts.
How handsome could he be?
Could he be as good-looking as the man she saw in Yuhang?
Damn it, why did she think of him again!
She was so angry that her period was dyed by a week.
She really wanted to give him a kick.
Stop pretending. Youll see how handsome he is when you see him.
Alright, alright, 1 wont talk nonsense with you. Gu Yiran said, Im going upstairs.
Gu Yiran took the documents upstairs and walked towards the meeting room on the second floor.
At this moment, there were more than 40 students in the conference room. The gender ratio was about 3:1.
This number was not small.
If their conditions were particrly poor, some would be eliminated.
But as long as there were no idents, most would stay on, though which department they end up in is uncertain.
Some may remain here, while others might be assigned to lower-level stations.
Where one would go depended on ones own abilities.
Brother Hai, those female students seem to be looking at you.
The person who spoke was called Ding Chao. He was not tall and had a dark face. He was whispering to the person beside him.
Compared to Ding Chao, the person sitting beside him was much better in all aspects.
He was also very good-looking. Among these trainees, he was an outlier.
The mans name was Zhou Xinghai, and he came from a wealthy family.
They had a car, a house, and some savings in Zhonghai. They were a well-off family that did not have to worry about putting food on the table.
In a prosperous city like Zhonghai, it was very good to have such conditions.
Lets just watch. Im not interested in them, Zhou Xinghai said leisurely with his legs crossed.
These are all high-quality stocks. Ding Chao said.
If I can find this girlfriend who works here, my future will be carefree.
Zhou Xinghai and Ding Chao were university ssmates. After graduating, they got into the university together and had a very good rtionship.
Its obvious that youre not very vignt. Zhou Xinghai pointed out.
Let me tell you, when I went to the toilet just now, I identally discovered something. Our female instructor is especially beautiful. She doesnt seem to be much older than me. Her age is just right. Most importantly, she seems to be single. I have to work hard on her.
Are you serious? You heard so much? Ding Chao said.
But you have to take it easy. You cant make a conclusion until you see her in person.
Im such a cautious person. How could 1 make a mistake in such a matter? Zhou Xinghai said confidently.
I already saw our female instructors side profile and back view. Shes definitely a police beauty. If she changed into casual clothes, shed be a beauty.
If thats the case, this is really an opportunity. Ding Chao said.
When 1 arrived, 1 took a good look around and noticed that the peopleing and going are either too old or not particrly good-looking. In terms of appearance, there really isnt anyone who can match up to you. You being in a position of near water, first to get the moon really might just work out.
So, none of these intern girls can catch my eye, Zhou Xinghai said with a smile.
Moreover, my familys conditions arent bad either. Naturally, i have to find someone with better conditions.
Naturally. Ding Chao said.
Not only do you have good looks, but you were also the captain of the basketball team in college. As long as you put in some effort, winning over the female instructor should be no problem.
Zhou Xinghai smiled and did not say anything. He also felt that it was not difficult.
Oh my god, is that person also here for training?
Hes carrying a suitcase, so Im pretty sure he is.
Hes too good-looking. Hes like a celebrity. And those long legs. I cant take it anymore. 1 feel like Im going to faint from his handsomeness..

Chapter 1642: Infuriated to the Point of Explosion
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis appearance caused amotion in the conference room.
The gazes of the girls fell on him. They were all starry-eyed and infatuated. Where did this kide from?! One look and you can tell that hes not a good person!
Seeing Lin Yi, Zhou Xinghai felt like he was looking at a major threat.
Not to mention his professional level, just his looks alone were definitely not inferior to him. He might even be hispetitor.
Find a ce to sit.
A man in his thirties said when he saw Lin Yi enter.
The mans name was Li Xianghui, and he was the other instructor for this training. Gu Yiran was his assistant. After all, there were some girls here, and it was not appropriate to have only one male instructor.
Lin Yi nodded and found a seat in the back row.
Because of Lin Yis appearance, whispers were continuously heard in the meeting room.
Many girls turned around and looked in his direction as if they had seen a rare species.
Looking at Lin Yis back, Li Xianghui examined him. If he was recruited, he could well serve as the face of the branch.
Thus, he hoped that his level was not too bad. Otherwise, he would not be able to keep him.
Zhou Xinghai also looked back at Lin Yi with half-closed eyes. He had already regarded him as an imaginary enemy.
Lin Yi did not pay much attention to the others as he continued to chat with Ji Qingyan on his phone.
Although he was the one here for training, Ji Qingyan seemed to be even more excited than he was.
However, she was more concerned about her selfies.
At this moment, the system notification sounded in Lin Yis mind.
[After seven days of training, you will be rewarded with 100,000 proficiency points.]
Hearing the system notification, Lin Yi felt that the mission was not difficult. With his level, this level of training should be nothing. He could pass it easily. Quiet down. Its time. 111 call out your names. The person whose name is called will raise your hand and signal to me, Li Xianghui said.
The people in the conference room sat up straight and their expressions became serious.
However, when Lin Yi looked up, he saw that the tigress he had seen in Yuhang was standing beside Li Xianghui.
The moment he saw Gu Yiran, Lin Yi felt that the mission issued by the system had instantly increased by several levels.
With that tigress around, it was hard to say if he could sessfully pass the seven days of training.
This motherfucker!
Lin Yi cursed in his heart. God, did the system send you here to tease me?
Soon, the roll call began.
Sun Yan.
Here!
Zhou Xinghai.
Here!
Wang Xin.
Here!
Lin Yi.
Here.
Hearing Lin Yis voice, the girls in the meeting room turned around.
The moment they saw Lin Yi, many girls were deeply curious about him. They were waiting for the roll call to begin so that they could know his name.
There was a smallmotion in the conference room again.
Subconsciously, Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran looked at Lin Yi.
Initially, Gu Yiran did not take it seriously, but this nce made her unable to look away.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect to see that detestable man here! Was this a chance for her to take revenge?
Realizing that Gu Yiran was looking at him, Lin Yi smiled and made a drinking gesture.
Seeing this action, Gu Yiran instantly exploded on the spot, wishing she could give him a kick.
Whats wrong with you? Li Xianghui asked softly.
Im fine. Gu Yiran pretended to be calm.
Forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, Gu Yiran raised her head and looked at Lin Yi, as if to say,
Youre in my hands. Watch how 1 deal with you!
Lin Yi also saw Gu Yirans aggresive gaze.
Knowing what she was thinking, Lin Yi realized that aside from seeking personal revenge, she didnt have much else in terms of skills.
With this thought, Lin Yi smiled, then pointed to the area around his chest and gestured towards her, mouthing the words,
An old-fashioned style.
Gu Yiran, who had the upper hand, clenched her fists when she saw Lin Yis gesture.
Li Xianghui, who was standing at the side, even heard the sound of her grinding her teeth.
Whats the matter? Do you know that man?
Li Xianghui was a very vignt person. He realized that when Lin Yis name was called, his partners emotions fluctuated.
Moreover, there were signs of her not being able to control herself.
Im fine, just a little ufortable. Gu Yiran found an excuse to cover it up.
Do you want to take a break?
No, Ill be fine in a while.
Li Xianghui nodded and stopped paying attention to Gu Yiran.
A few minutester, the roll call ended.
The next segment was the leaders speech. Lin Yi leaned his head on his hand and listened in boredom.
Ji Qingyan, on the other hand, had not been idle. She kept sending Lin Yi WeChat messages, feeling that this was a matter that brought honor to her ancestors.
About twenty minutester, the leaders speech ended. What followed was the police rules and training.
After that, he would receive his internal affairs supplies, training clothes, and so on.
These trivial matters ended at around eleven in the morning.
However, during this process, Lin Yi had a rough understanding of Gu Yiran and Li Xianghuis identities.
Li Xianghui was the vice-captain of the criminal police force, and Gu Yiran was her team member.
His level was all online.
After the training mission ended, all that was left was to split up into dormitories.
Everyone walked out of the meeting room one after another. The boy, the real Li Xianghui, and the girl followed Gu Yiran.
Seeing Lin Yi walking towards her, Gu Yiran stared at him.
It was as if she was going to spit fire at him.
Lin Yipletely ignored her, but when he passed by her, he deliberately paused and nced at her fiercely.
The intention was self-evident.
Damn it!
Li Xianghui nced at Gu Yiran from the corner of his eyes. His sharp intuition told him that something must have happened between these two people.
Then, under Li Xianghuis lead, they each found their own dormitories.
When he arrived at the dormitory, Lin Yi was shocked. He thought that it would be a six- or eight-person room, but it turned out to be a two-person room!
Moreover, there was an ensuite toilet. That was very impressive.
However, Lin Yi also knew that this had a lot to do with Zhonghais financial situation.
The city was not short of money, so the lower-level units were naturally not short of money either.
If it was a second or third-tier city, there was no way he would get such a nice dorm.
Hey, buddy, lets get to know each other. My name is Zhang Peng.
Lin Yis roommate wasnt tall, only around 170. fie was slightly chubby with a round face and a buzz cut. He was a little good-looking. Although he was a little chubby, he wouldnt be considered a fatty.
Lin Yi, Lin Yi smiled.
Well be roommates and colleagues from now on. Have a smoke.
Im not smoking, you go ahead. Lin Yi pointed at the sign on the wall, 1 dont think smoking is allowed here.
Uh Lets talk about itter. Zhang Peng put the cigarette back resentfully. Youre so handsome; why did you choose to be a police officer? You look like you could be a star, or at the very least a social media influencer, which would probably make money faster than this job.
Its a solid job.
Youre right. Themoners of Huaxia are particr about stability.
Thats right.
The two of them chatted for a while and became familiar with each other.
Zhang Pengs parents were both ordinary workers. Fie joined the police academy and got in after graduation.
Lin Yi made up a simr reason, but omitted the part about the police academy. Since you didnt attend a police academy, I guess you might be assigned to a clerical position, Zhang Peng said.
I dont really mind that. Getting in is what matters to me.
Haha, that makes sense. As long as theres a rice bowl, who cares about what to eat?
Yes.
Soon, the bell outside the door rang. It was lunchtime and they had to go eat. The canteen area was not big, and the decorations were not luxurious.
However, the food served was very good, simr to that of chefs in ordinary restaurants.
Lin Yis appearance caused quite a stir.
Whether it was the intern girls or the regr female police officers, they all looked in his direction unintentionally.
Its obvious that hes just a pretty boy. Whats there to be excited about? Zhou Xinghai said indifferently..

Brother Hai, calm down. Lets ignore him. Ding Chao said.
This is a ce where strength speaks for itself. A pretty boy like him will definitely not be able to stand tall. He might even be eliminated in the end.
Look at the way he walks. Hes sloppy. One look and you can tell hes never trained. He cantpare to people like us from the police academy.
Zhou Xinghai mumbled as he ate.
A person like him is no threat to me. Hes not even worthy of being my opponent.
Youre right to think that way. Look at him. He might be eliminated in these seven days.
Zhou Xinghai nodded silently and continued eating.
The training would officially begin in the afternoon. This would decide whether this man was a mule or a horse.
Brother Hai, Brother Hai, Instructor Gu is here. Ding Chao said excitedly.
Zhou Xinghai looked up and saw Gu Yiran and another female colleague walking towards him.
Zhou Xinghai stood up and smiled at Gu Yiran.
Instructor, lets sit here and eat.
Gu Yiran was stunned for a moment. She didnt expect this new student to be so enthusiastic.
Im going to my colleagues ce to eat. I wont disturb you guys anymore.
Alright, take care, Instructor, Zhou Xinghai said with a smile.
Gu Yiran nodded and walked to another table.
Yiran, youre so charming. Someone came up to you the moment you appeared. The short-haired policewoman said.
I remember that his name is Zhou Xinghai. Hes quite good-looking. Judging from the way he dresses, he should be quite qualified. Do you want to consider him?
Can you not be so nosy? Im his instructor. Its human nature to be polite.
Youre right. Although his appearance is not bad, hes still a little inferior to that person called Lin Yi.
Dont mention him to me. Its annoying.
Huh?
The short-haired policewoman was stunned for a moment. Its his first day here. He didnt provoke you, right? Even if your period ising, you cant vent your anger on him.
Gu Yirans face was cold. If it werent for him, her period wouldnt have been dyed for so many days.
I dont think much of a gigolo like him. He probably doesnt have much ability. If he doesnt pass the training, hell be kicked out after this. We cant let a ck sheep like him in.
Youre just too susceptible to psychological suggestion. Just because someone is good-looking, how does that make them a gigolo? You cant generalize like that. This is a problem that needs addressing.
Alright, just dont mention him to me.
Seeing that Gu Yiran was unwilling to talk about Lin Yi, the two of them did not continue this topic. They simply met up with their colleagues and ate together. Lin Yi and Zhang Peng sat together. Thetter looked back at Zhou Xinghai andined.
This person is too much of a bootlicker. Weve only just met. Why is he already hunting her down like a sycophant?
Dont worry about it too much. Let him do his thing; it doesnt really concern us.
How can you say it doesnt concern us? If he ends up winning over Instructor Gu with his ttery, shell definitely treat him differently. This guy is really cunning.
Lin Yi smiled and didnt say anything. He felt that this matter didnt have much to do with him, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
Regardless of whether Zhou Xinghai sucked up to Gu Yiran or not, her attitude towards him would not change. She would definitely make things difficult for him.
Over the next few days of training, he could only try to remain unaffected.
ording to the rules, they only had an hour to eat. No matter how fast they ate, they had to gather at the field by 1230.
If he ate quickly, he could rest for a while longer. If he ate slowly, he would have to figure out a solution to take care of it.
Lin Yi and Zhang Peng ate at a decent speed, finishing their meal in half an hour. They then went to the field and waited until 12:30.
After a few simple exercises, more than 40 people automatically stood in three rows.
Soon, Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran walked over. They scanned the crowd and called out more than ten people, including Lin Yi.
ording to the relevant regtions, your hairstyles are not up to standard and need to be tidied up. Come with me now.
Initially, the others were a little nervous, but when they heard that it was a problem with their hairstyles, they heaved a sigh of relief. This was not an excessive request.
Compared to the calmness of the others, Lin Yi was looking forward to it.
He had long wanted to try out a close-cropped hairstyle, but Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu refused to let him, so his n was put on hold.
Now, this wish could finally be fulfilled.
Gu Yiran rolled her eyes at Lin Yi and thought to herself,
Hes just relying on his hairstyle to fool people. Who knows how ugly hell be after cutting his buzz cut.
About half an hourter, Li Xianghui returned with the ten people. A few female students eximed in unison.
Its said that a buzz cut is the only true standard to test a mans handsomeness. Now, 1 really believe it. I didnt expect Lin Yi to be even more handsome after cutting his short hair.
This hairstyle is too manly. 1 think only he can pull it off.
This hairstyle and looks are simply versatile. 1 feel that hes even better-looking than before.
Gu Yiran looked at Lin Yi reluctantly andined in her heart.
Why did she look so much more pleasing to the eye after cutting his hair?
Gu Yiran shook she head. He had to find a way to kick this habit. How could she have these thoughts?!
Lin Yi and the others entered the queue, and the afternoon training officially began.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi was very satisfied with his hairstyle.
He wondered how Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu would react when they saw this.
He found it quite interesting to think about this.
Lets warm up and run twops on the field, Li Xianghui said.
Everyone was an adult and knew what they were here for. Naturally, they would not be like those university students whoined about the heavens during their first military training. They took the initiative to go to the track and jog to warm up.
Gu, are you sure you dont know Lin Yi? Li Xianghui asked.
I really dont know him. Team Leader, dont overthink.
Im not overthinking it. Its just that you are acting a little abnormal. If you know him, take care of him.
You really dont need to take care of me. Gu Yiran said.
And we have to be stricter. We cant recruit a good-for-nothing.
Li Xianghui smiled. With this kind of attitude, only a fool would believe that they didnt know each other.
Could it be her ex-boyfriend?
Soon, the warm-up ended and everyone gathered again.
The next half an hour consisted of very simple basic training.
For example, turning left and right, walking in unison, and walking in a straight line. These were the basic contents of university military training.
However, this segment ended after a simple training session. This was because it was not an important subject. There were still many other things to train.
The next subject is training to jump and fall to the ground. Ill demonstrate the specifics to everyone.
There was a row of thick mats on the field. Li Xianghui stood on it while Gu Yiran squatted on the side with a stic stick in her hand. Both of them got ready.
Then, Gu Yiran gave the signal and waved the stic stick towards Li Xianghuis leg.
At this moment, Li Xianghui jumped up high and did a standard frog jump. He dodged Gu Yirans stick and theny motionless on the mat.
After the drill, Li Xianghui patted the dust off his body and looked at everyone present.
The demonstration is over. Whos willing to be the first toe up and try?
Me!
Zhou Xinghai raised his hand and volunteered..

Simp, you even want to hog the limelight for something like this, Zhang Pengined.
Come on, be a representative and show everyone. Dont screw up, Li Xianghui said.
Yes! Zhou Xinghai replied loudly.
They had all done this kind of training when they were at the police academy. When it came to the range and standard of his movements, he was inferior to Li Xianghui. However, he was not afraid. After all, he had practiced it before.
To ensure the intensity of the training, Gu Yiran still wielded a stic stick.
Had it been a regr trainee, the effect would have surely been much less impactful.
Just like at the beginning, Gu Yiran issued an instruction and then struck towards Zhou Xinghais legs.
Thetters reaction was swift. The moment before the stick could hit his leg, he leaped high into the air and thennded on the mat.
Li Xianghui nodded in approval. Although it wasnt perfect, it was already quite good.
Come on, whos next? Take the initiative. Dont wait for me to call out names. Ill do it! Ding Chao said.
Everyone knew that this was an opportunity to show off.
The more proactive one was, the deeper the instructors impression of them.
In addition, they had all practiced this move before, so many people volunteered.
Its fine. Theres no hurry. One at a time.
Over the next half an hour, more than 30 peoplepleted the training.
Moreover, the sess rate was very good. There were only two of people who reacted a little slower. They were hit in their legs, causing everyone tough.
Whos next?
This time, no one took the initiative toe up.
This was because they had all passed external exams. In other words, they had not graduated from the police academy and had not received such training.
Even though they had watched it many times, they were still unfamiliar with the training and were a little afraid.
There were a total of eight people. There were six girls, while Lin Yi was one of the two boys.
Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran looked at each other. They had a rough understanding of the remaining eight people and guessed that they should not have graduated from the police academy. Otherwise, this simple action would be nothing.
Stop dawdling. Whos next? Do you want so many people to wait for you? Gu Yiran said.
If you dont take the initiative toe up, Im going to roll call.
Then, Gu Yiran looked at Lin Yi.
You, step forward.
Me? Lin Yi said.
There are so many people. Why did you choose me?
Dont tell me you still want topete with girls? Shouldnt you take the initiative to stand up at this time?!
The corners of Zhou Xinghais mouth curled up into a smile.
Its obvious that hes a gutless idiot. His name has already been called, but he still doesnt dare toe up. Someone like him will be eliminated sooner orter.
Lin Yi looked behind him and said, I didnt say 1 wanted topare with a woman. Isnt there another guy here? Why did you specifically call me out? Are you practicing gender discrimination? Do you think the guy over there doesnt look like a man?
Lin Yis remark put Gu Yiran in a passive position.
Li Xianghui nced at Lin Yi, finding the young man quite interesting.
Setting aside his professional skills for the moment, he certainly didntck courage.
When did I ever practice gender discrimination!
You said it yourself just now, Lin Yi responded.
If youre not practicing gender discrimination, then let him go first.
Gu Yiran felt her anger rising from her heels to her head, but the most frustrating part was that she couldnt show her anger, or else it would be considered unequal treatment.
Gu Yiran felt a pain in her chest. She felt like she was about to get breast cancer.
Alright, everyone has to do this anyway. 111 let him do it first. You definitely wont be able to escapeter.
I didnt say I wanted to escape, I just didnt want to do it first, Lin Yi said defiantly.
Alright, lets see how long you can hide!
Helpless, another boy stepped forward, also a little flustered.
Instructor Gu, be gentle. Ive never practiced this before, but Ill work hard in the future.
Its fine. Dont be nervous. Come and get ready.
Under Gu Yirans encouragement, thest boy stood on the mat and prepared for the segment.
Unsurprisingly, Gu Yirans stick hit his leg. Although he failed, it was not very bad. At least he still looked good. It was just that his reaction was a little slow. It would be fine if he trained more in the future.
Lin Yi, youre next. You have nothing to say this time, right?
How can there be nothing to say? Arent you still discriminating against women?
Youre thest man here. How am I still being sexist?!
Gu Yiran was so angry that he raised her voice.
Women are also human beings and can hold up half the sky. Why should I go first? Are you looking down on them? Isnt that gender discrimination? Youre just disrespecting women. Lin Yi smacked his lips. Comrade, this kind of male chauvinism is very dangerous.
People around were surprised. No one expected Lin Yi to say something like this.
Because the female students present didnt think Gu Yirans words were discriminatory, as it was true that men did have an advantage in physical aspects.
But now, he had managed to pin abel on Instructor Gu, turning it into apletely different matter.
Is there something wrong with this kids brain? If hes really afraid, he shouldnt havee to the training. I really dont know what hes thinking, Zhou Xinghai said.
I guess he didnt expect the training to be so intense, so hes afraid. Go home if youre scared. Why are you still here? Isnt this embarrassing enough? Zhou Xinghai said.
Moreover, Ive heard that other ces are also conducting police training, and there will be apetitionter on to showcase the results of the training.
With his timid demeanor, hes not even qualified to embarrass us.
With his behavior, he will definitely be eliminated in the future. Lets just treat today as a show, Ding Chao said gloatingly.
Next, well see how Instructor Gu deals with him. Im still looking forward to it.
Li Xianghui looked at Gu Yiran.
Since he doesnt want toe out, let the other female students try first.
Eventually, it will be their turn anyway.
Got it.
Gu Yiran responded reluctantly and called the remaining six girls up ording to the order of the line.
The crowd originally thought that the scene would be too horrible to look at, but the oue was much better than everyone had imagined.
There were even two girls who sessfully jumped over. It was just that their posture was a little irregr and they were unstable when theynded. This performance was already not bad.
At the same time, with this, everyone else hadpleted the first round of training, leaving Lin Yi alone. Everyones gaze fell on him.
Youre the only one left now. I dont think you have any other excuses. Gu Yiran said coldly.
Im not refusing to step up because Im scared. Im just contemting the significance of this action.

Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran were surprised, and so were the others present.
This was the most basic training subject, just like how 1+1 = 2. There was nothing behind this at all.
He did not expect him to ask such a stupid question in order to avoid the test!
This kid is really something. Does he not use his brain before he speaks? Zhou Xinghai said.
I dont think we will need to wait a week. I reckon hes going to pack up and leave today.
Not only Zhou Xinghai and Ding Chao, but even some of the girls present felt that Lin Yi had gone too far.
This was the most basic skill. It was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, how could he qualify to be a police officer?
Although women are often considered to be attracted to appearances, they dislike men who are sly or slick even more.
Lin Yis actions sessfully aroused their displeasure.
This is the most basic training subject. It tests your reflexes. When a suspect is armed, you must be able to react immediately.
Gu Yiran thought it through and did not get angry at all.
In any case, he could not escape today. She could just toy with him slowly.
But I think theres no need to resort to such methods, Lin Yi said.
There seem to be other ways to solve the problem as well.
Li Xianghui looked at Lin Yi with interest, wondering what he was up to.
However, he had also thought it through. If Lin Yi could face this training subject head-on, it wouldnt be a problem.
However, if he showed signs of backing down from the challenge, he could not be kept on.
Then Id like to know how you intend to do this.
Gu Yiran said with a smile, as if she had Lin Yi right in her grasp.
Try it and youll know.
Thene over and get ready, let me see what youve got, Gu Yiran said.
Ive been working here for several years and have trained several groups of people, but youre the first one Ive seen who dares to question our training material.
Lets give it a try then.
Lin Yi leisurely walked up to Gu Yiran, ready to undergo the training.
Go for it, Lin, dont be nervous. Even if you get hit in the legs, it wont hurt. After a few tries, youll no longer be afraid, Zhang Peng said.
Thanks.
Are you ready? Gu Yiran asked.
Alright, we can start at any time!
Just like before, Gu Yiran gave an order and swung the stic stick at Lin Yis leg.
Everyone was gloating, waiting to see Lin Yi make a fool of himself.
However, Lin Yi didnt jump. He looked at the stic stick and raised his right foot
He stomped down hard!
BANG!
Lin Yi stepped on the stick in Gu Yirans hand!
No matter how hard she pulled, there was no sign of it loosening!
How was this possible?!
The onlookers, including Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran, were stunned.
He actually stepped on the stick!
Moreover, despite Instructor Gus strength, she couldnt pull it out!
Instructor Gu, what do you think of my skill? Lin Yi said.
With this, Ill still have two hands and one leg free. I can do something else.
Let go!
Look, look. Lets talk nicely. Why are you shouting at me? Even if youre my boss, you cant do this. Isnt this gender discrimination?
What gender discrimination?
Alright, Lin Yi,e down.
As he spoke, Li Xianghuis expression was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
This kids reflexes were too fast, and he was quite strong. There was a soft cushion on the ground, yet she couldnt pull out the stic stick when he was stepping on it. He had some skills.
That was so cool. Hes like an action star in a movie.
I feel that this method is much better than jumping and falling to the ground. Practicing this move makes more sense.
Alright, stop talking. Li Xianghui said.
People are different. Even if he can do it, you might not be able to. This is the most suitable basic skill for everyone to learn. Dont worry about anything else.
Understood! Everyone replied in unison.
Now, you will train in pairs, grouped by your dormitory units.
Yes!
The training then shifted to a two-person format, with Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran supervising on the side. If there were any movements that werent up to standard, they would step in to correct them.
How did you feel just now? Li Xianghui asked softly.
Im just not feeling well, so I couldnt use my full strength. Otherwise, I could easily pull it out.
Li Xianghui smiled. But from the side, I can tell that his reflexes are quite fast. With proper training, hell be a promising candidate.
No way, you want to train him? Gu Yiran said.
One look and I can tell hes a prick. I wanted to kick him out.
He hasnt done anything wrong, so treating him this way is wrong on your part.
Well, that will still depend on whether hister training meets the standards.
Li Xianghui nodded, I feel like I cant be wrong about him, he should do well.
Hmph, well see about that. Youre definitely going to be proven wrong.
Li Xianghui smiled. He felt that the rtionship between these two people was deeper than it looked.
About an hourter, everyone had practiced well and their spirits were high.
Whats most interesting is that Li Xianghui noticed, after the first round was over, Lin Yi and his partner Zhang Peng also performed the jumping and falling action. They didnt practice in the way he had shown, almost as if they were opposing Gu Yiran just like earlier.
Gather!
Li Xianghui blew the whistle and gathered everyone together.
Take a ten-minute break before we start training for the next subject!
Everyone cheered. Some of them rested on the spot, while others went to buy water and wantonly enjoyed the rare moment of rxation.
Instructor Gu, Instructor Li, have some water.
Zhou Xinghai handed over the water he had bought.
Theres no need. We brought our own. Li Xianghui said.
Give it to the other students. In the future, youll be on the same team. You have to help each other.
It seemed like a polite greeting, but Li Xianghui was actually advising Zhou Xinghai.
Dont put your energy into being solicitous. Train well.
Its fine. I bought some for everyone, Zhou Xinghai said.
Im all about team unity. Its not like me to hog all the benefits for myself.
The two of them had no choice but to take the drink from Zhou Xinghai with a smile.
Fourth Brother, split the things, Zhou Xinghai said to Ding Chao.
Sure thing.
Seeing that there was free mineral water and coke, the trainees all happily epted and thanked Zhou Xinghai.
Thanks for the drinks.
Theres no need to be so polite. Were all in the same team. Helping out a little is nothing, Zhou Xinghai said with a smile.
In the end, when it was Lin Yis turn, Zhou Xinghai pretended to be surprised.
Oh, Lin Yi, Im really sorry. I miscalcted and forgot to buy one for you.
Gu Yiran and Li Xianghui looked at Zhou Xinghai and frowned.
Its fine. My roommate went to buy some.
At this moment, Zhang Peng returned with two bottles of mineral water, one of which he handed to Lin Yi.
Brother Lin, here you go.
Thanks. Its a hot day.
Lin Yi, dont drink mineral water. It doesnt quench your thirst. Have some iced Coke, a female student came over and said.
This is the Red Bull I just bought. Drink it to replenish your energy. Another girl ran over and said.
This is the mung bean water I brought to relieve the heat. This is for you.
And mine. Its brown sugar water with jujubes and wolfberries in it. Drink it.
Lin Yi was speechless.
Mung bean water was okay, but what was with this brown sugar water with wolfberries?!
How many years has my uncle been dead??

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
In just a few minutes, all kinds of drinks were piled up in front of Lin Yi. There were more than ten bottles.
Seeing the female studentsing to bring drinks to Lin Yi, Zhang Peng felt sad.
Was this how good-looking people lived?
He could even save money on drinks?
Zhou Xinghai stood at the side with a cold expression and ignored Lin Yi. He muttered to himself,
These inexperienced people who pounce on pretty boys when they see them. They really have no substance.
Some peoples calctions have fallen through, Zhang Peng said gleefully.
The water bought for others has all ended up with my Brother Lin. I wonder how the person who bought it feels.
Its just a few bottles of water; whats the big deal? Zhou Xinghai didnt shy away, knowing Zhang Peng was referring to him, and retorted,
This is a ce where strength speaks. You cant rely on your looks.
How do you know that my Brother Lin wont make it? Zhang Peng asked.
Didnt you see my Brother Lins level during the jump and fall training just now? Is your reaction time faster than his?
Whats the use of having a quick reaction? How can you be faster than a bullet when someone is pointing a gun at you?
After Zhou Xinghai finished speaking, he showed his biceps. This is a ce where ability speaks for itself. Dont use cheap parlor tricks. Of course, a person like him should still be able to do some clerical work at the back office.
Youre mocking my Brother Lin, arent you? Zhang Peng said.
Am I mocking him? Im telling the truth, okay?
Zhang Peng turned around and whispered in Lin Yis ear,
Brother Lin, can you do it? Can you spar with him? I feel annoyed when 1 see this bootlicker. Its disgusting.
Thats not a big problem, Lin Yi smiled.
Steady!
Lin Yis answer gave Zhang Peng great confidence.
Youre all bark and no bite. If youre unhappy,e out and spar with my Brother Lin.
You think Im more afraid of you than me? Do you really think I was wasting time training in the police academy?
Then lets see who can do the most sit-ups. The loser cleans the toilet. Do you dare?
So be it. Im not afraid of you.
Stop fooling around.
One by one, the girls who was not tall came over and said,
Zhou Xinghai is my senior, and I have some impression of him. He was not only the main yer on our schools basketball team but also among the group with the most outstanding academic achievements. His physical fitness test results were excellent, so its best not topare yourself with him.
Hearing this, Zhang Peng felt a little guilty.
He did not expect Zhou Xinghai to be such a good bootlicker.
Lets give it a try. Weve already agreed. If we dontpete, wont he just run away at thest minute?
Not far away, Gu Yiran and Li Xianghui looked at each other, but no one stopped them.
This kind ofpetition was part and parcel of the industry, so no one intervened.
Using thispetition to test their standards was also a good opportunity.
Zhou Xinghai was overjoyed. Since youve agreed, lets cut the crap and begin.
Lin Yi didnt dawdle; the two sat side by side, ready topete.
Hold their legs down, and we will count along.
Here we go!
Ding Chao squatted down to hold Zhou Xinghais legs down.
Brother Lin, Ill help you, Zhang Peng volunteered eagerly.
No need, no need, Ive got this!
A long-haired girl beat Zhang Peng to it and helped Lin Yi with his leg press.
Lin Yi realized that this girl was quite pretty, and her chest wasnt small either. She was considered the most beautiful person in this batch.
It was also because of this that Lin Yi had the deepest impression of her. She seemed to be called Zhang Zixin.
Zhang Peng,
Just because he was good-looking, he received such treatment!
Lin Yi and Zhou Xinghai were already lying down. Zhang Zixin and Ding Peng were in charge of holding down their legs.
If youre ready, then lets begin, Lin Yi said.
No problem. 1 hope you can keep up.
The two of them didnt waste time. After Lin Yi finished speaking, he started doing it.
Zhou Xinghai did not back down and followed closely behind.
Lin Yi was extremely fast, doing a sit-up almost every second.
Zhou Xinghai was a little surprised. He thought to himself, Youre quite motivated. Lets see how long you canst!
At the thought of this, Zhou Xinghai sped up as well, maintaining the same pace as Lin Yi.
At this stage, there was almost no need to count because the two of them were moving at the same speed, so their numbers were naturally the same.
After doing dozens of them, Lin Yis expression was a little unnatural.
Originally, he wanted to endure it, but when he reached 100, he couldnt bear it anymore.
Taking advantage of the gap between each time he sat up, he whispered,
Can you
Dont lean forward
Its about to
Its stuck to my face
If one did not personally experience such a scene, it would be difficult to imagine.
Zhang Zixins 36CS stood out even in her uniform.
Every time Lin Yi sat up, the distance between them was less than five centimeters.
If he reduced the range of his movements, he would be criticized for not meeting the standard.
Thus, he could only remind Zhang Zixin like this.
At first, Zhang Zixin didnt understand, but when she lowered her head, she instantly understood.
Aiyaya, I didnt notice it just now. Zhang Zixin smiled and said, But this will give you motivation. Good luck.
After saying that, Zhang Zixin secretly fantasized in her mind.
What would it feel like to be touched by Lin Yi?
Li Xianghui, who was standing at the side, asked,
The two of them are not bad. After doing so much, they still havent changed their expressions. Who do you think will win?
It must be Zhou Xinghai. Gu Yiran said.
Looking at him, you can tell hes all show and no stamina. He probably wontst long, he just has a bit more explosive power.
Li Xianghui felt it was useful to ask her this question.
Around five minutes passed, and both of them had done more than 200 sit-ups!
Lin Yis pace had only slowed a slight bit from the beginning. If you werent paying close attention, you wouldnt even notice it. He hadnt even broken a sweat.
Zhou Xinghai was bewildered on the side. After doing more than 200 continuous sit-ups, to maintain that speed?!
What was wrong with this kid?!
Even if he was a professional fitness trainer, it was impossible for him to have such great endurance and explosive power!
Gradually, Zhou Xinghai slowed down.
Even if he gritted his teeth, he couldnt keep up with Lin Yis pace.
Oh my god, Lin Yi is too abnormal. His speed has surpassed Zhou Xinghais.
At this rate, hell definitely win!
His waist and abdomen are too strong. His future girlfriend is in luck.
Lin Yi! Best of luck!
Lin Yi! Best of luck!
The more the surrounding girls watched, the more excited they became. They couldnt help but cheer for Lin Yi.
This only angered Zhou Xinghai.
But even so, even if he used all his strength, he still couldnt catch up to Lin Yi.
Her breathing rhythm was also messed up. Every time he sat up, the muscles in his lower abdomen hurt so much that it felt like they were about to tear.
Due to this, Zhou Xinghais pace eventually slowed.
When he reached rep number 322, he copsed to the ground.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not get up!

Chapter 1647: Not Moving at All
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Zhou Xinghai cant take it anymore!
Lin Yi won!
Hes so cool!
Seeing that Zhou Xinghai was so tired that he couldnt sit up, Lin Yi stood up calmly and stretched his body. He had just done more than 300 sit-ups and was acting as if nothing had happened.
If youre willing to bet, you have to admit defeat. Ill leave the toilet in our dormitory for you to clean.
Zhou Xinghais face was filled with embarrassment, and he didnt say a word.
Gu Yiran rolled his eyes and thought to herself,
He looks tall and strong, but hes not even as fit as this gigolo. In the end, 1 have to deal with him myself!
Although she wasining in his heart, Gu Yiran forgot that she herself might fail.
Inspector Li, 1 have something to discuss with you, Gu Yiran said.
What is it?
Can we change the next training subject?
Change to what?
Judo and grappling. Gu Yiran said.
Anyway, these are all basic subjects. It doesnt matter which one we practice first orst. Lets bring this one forward.
Li Xianghui would not refuse such a small matter, but he did not understand why Gu Yiran was asking for this.
However, since she had spoken, he had no reason to reject her.
Alright, well do as you say.
At this moment, the whistle sounded. Everyone put their drinks aside and hurriedly gathered.
Break time is over. Now, lets start training for the next subject: judo and grappling.
No one showed much of a reaction because many people knew what this project was.
I know that many of you graduated from the police academy and practiced this when you were in school. However, there are still a few students present who havent practiced it, so Instructor Gu and I will give everyone a demonstration.
Li Xianghui gave Gu Yiran a look. Then, he stopped in front of the cushion and stood still.
At the same time, Gu Yiran stood behind him. Then, she shouted and rushed behind him. She grabbed his legs and threw him onto the mat.
Following that, Gu Yiran jumped up, mounted on top of Li Xianghui, one hand holding his head and the other on his neck, performing a chokehold maneuver. After this, the sequence waspleted.
The others were fine because they had experienced it before.
However, some people who had never experienced it before realized the difficulty of this sequence.
The two of them stood up. Gu Yiran looked at the few people who had passed the external exam.
This move might be a little difficult for you, so Ill get someone to demonstrate it to you again. Watch carefully.
Got it!
Instructor Gu, Im willing to cooperate with you!
The bootlicker, Zhou Xinghai, stood up. Zhang Pengined in his heart.
Gu Yiran nced at Zhou Xinghai.
You graduated from the police academy. Im sure youre familiar with such moves. Theres not much point in asking you to do this. Rejoin the team first.
Okay.
Gu Yiran nced at Lin Yi, You, step out!
Huh? There are several people here. What right do you have to call me out? Are you being sexist?!
F*ck off!
Gu Yiran cursed in her heart, There are a total of eight people who havent received any training, six of them are girls. Liu Bo was the first toe up for the training. Now its your turn.
Arent there six other girls?
This time, none of the girls present despised Lin Yi because he had already proven himself.
It was just that he had never practiced it before, so he did not want to embarrass himself.
You actually want topete with a girl? Are you a man or not? Arent you embarrassed?
Shall I take off my pants and prove it to you?
Sure, sure!
Before Gu Yiran could retort, the girls couldnt help but p.
Silence, what kind of ce do you think this is?! Li Xianghui said.
Lin Yi, stop talking nonsense. If I tell you toe out,e out. Youll figure it out after trying it twice. Dont have such a big ego. No one will care if you fail.
Yes!
Gu Yiran sneered in his heart and thought,
Watch how I deal with you this time!
Under Li Xianghuis orders, Lin Yi walked to the mat and stood at attention.
Be gentle when the timees. Theyre all newbies. Dont be too forceful, Li Xianghui said.
Got it. Ill try my best to control it.
In the team, Zhou Xinghai sneered.
How dare he talk back to Instructor Gu? Lets see how shell deal with youter!
Gu Yiran stood behind Lin Yi and said as she stretched her wrist,
Are you ready?
Im ready. I can start anytime.
Lin Yis ears twitched slightly. He was extremely focused. He could already feel Gu Yiran rushing over. Then, he tensed up his entire body and stood still like a pir.
At this moment, Gu Yiran rushed behind Lin Yi and grabbed his legs, preparing to throw him down.
Just as she was feeling smug, she suddenly realized that something was wrong!
No matter how hard she tried, Lin Yi didnt move at all!
How was this possible?
Gu Yiran eximed in her heart as her heart started beating faster.
Then, she used all her strength, but she still couldnt move Lin Yi!
What are you doing? Li Xianghui frowned.
My footing was a little slippery just now, so I didnt manage to use much strength. Gu Yiran let go.
Lets try it again.
Gu Yiran nodded and took a dozen steps back.
Are you ready?
Im ready, Lin Yi replied casually.
Whoosh!
Gu Yiran took a deep breath and looked serious.
She was certain that something had gone wrong just now.
Otherwise, with her level, she could even take down the captain, let alone a rookie like him!
However, Gu Yiran did not know that the person he called a rookie was the leader of the most mysterious military unit in Huaxia!
How could he fall by her hand?
This time, Gu Yiran was extremely serious. He elerated and ran in one swift movement. She used all her skills and rushed behind Lin Yi, hugging his legs tightly!
However, time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Lin Yi stood rooted to the ground, unmoving!
Why is it still like this!
Gu Yiran eximed in her heart. This was an oue that she had never expected.
Instructor Gu, you can start now. Use more strength.
Everyones eyes fell on Gu Yiran.
Didnt she say that she was going to demonstrate the movements? Why wasnt she exerting her strength?
Maybe Instructor Gu isnt strong enough. After all, shes a woman. Its only natural that she cant move me. Lin Yi waved at Zhang Peng.
Come here and try.
Oh, oh
Zhang Peng walked out from the group. Seeing that Li Xianghui did not say anything, he reced Gu Yiran and stood behind Lin Yi.
Then, he rushed over from behind and wrapped Lin Yis legs. He easily threw him down to the ground and wrapped his arms around his throat.
Look, what did I say? This kind of action has to be done by a man. Instructor Gu isnt strong enough. Lin Yi said..

Lin Yis words attracted everyones attention.
Because many people had practiced this before, they knew what was going on. In this training, the person standing in front could not do much.
The person behind could move them with just a little effort. This was thew of physics, and there was nothing to dispute.
However, if the person standing at the back was too weak, it would be a different story.
And she, being the instructor of this trial training, couldnt even take down a trainee. When a male trainee took his turn, he did it effortlessly, which only suggested one thing.
Instructor Gus strength seems to becking.
Lin Yi, Zhang Peng!
While everyone was discussing, Li Xianghui shouted.
Here!
Get in line!
Yes!
The two of them returned to the team. Gu Yiran stood beside Li Xianghui with a straight face. No one knew what she was thinking.
But there was no doubt that she wanted to kill Lin Yi.
Next, group training.
Yes!
Following the previous dormitory grouping, everyone started training in teams of two.
Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran supervised from the side.
What happened just now? Why didnt you move him?
He was fighting me! Gu Yiran didnt answer directly, but it was a tacit agreement.
Thats a little strange. Not to mention him, even a 200-pound fatty can be easily brought down.
Forget it, dont mention him anymore. Just thinking about it is annoying. This is training. You cant bring your personal emotions into it, Li Xianghui said.
However, hes indeed a little different from ordinary people. Do you think we should send him up to spar after the trial?
You mean the tournament in the fourth district?
Thats right.
Lets just forget it, its a matter of pride, and even if you agree, Chief Liu wouldnt.
Traditionally, each of the various departments in Zhonghai held a martialpetition every year.
However, this wasnt an official event but rather spontaneously organized, serving as a leisure and entertainment activity.
Besides sending their most skilled subordinates, they also appointed one neer to participate in thepetition.
But, for the sake of their own reputation, leaders from each division would never actually use neers. Instead, they selected skilled individuals who were new faces to avoid embarrassment.
Thats true. Li Xianghui smiled and said.
However, this kid is quite interesting. This is already the third batch of trainees you are leading, but this is the first time youve encountered someone who made you so helpless.
Tsk, this is nothing. There are still a few days of training to go. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him!
Thats true. Thebat grappling and live shootingter on require real techniques. His little tricks might not be useful there.
Gu Yiran nced at Lin Yi and said in her heart, Just wait for tomorrow! After more than an hour, Li Xianghui announced the end of the days training. Although everyone was sweating profusely from the training, in Li Xianghuis view, the intensity wasnt considered high.
Today was just about getting them ustomed to the training, and there were other tasks to be der.
After gathering everyone, Li Xianghui summarized the days training session and then led everyone to the meeting room.
Everyone sat down one after another. Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran stood at the front desk.
After an afternoon of training, I believe everyone has gained a certain understanding of each other. Now, lets have a brief self-introduction from everyone. Then, 1 will choose a squad leader from among you to be responsible for maintaining discipline.
The crowd looked at each other, whispering softly.
Alright, theres nothing to discuss, Li Xianghuis gaze swept over everyone, then he addressed the crowd.
Is there any trainee who would like to volunteer? Li Xianghui asked.
The female trainees didnt react. They all knew that the squad leader wouldnt be chosen from among the women, so they were rxed.
Instructor Li, let me do it!
Zhou Xinghai was the first to raise his hand.
Zhang Peng nced at him from the corner of his eye. I knew this bootlicker would be the first to volunteer
Alright,e up here. Li Xianghui stood to the side and gave up his seat.
At this moment, Zhou Xinghai became the focus of everyones attention.
Everyones eyes were focused on him.
Hello, everyone. Im Zhou Xinghai. I graduated from Zhonghai Police Academy and was the captain of the schools basketball team. Im also the president of the student union. Ive participated in the police academy college students martial artspetition and achieved third ce
Although Zhou Xinghai was a bootlicker, he was also skilled.
He spoke confidently in front of more than 40 people without any stage fright. He was indeed a ss above the others.
Alright, next, Li Xianghui said.
After Zhou Xinghai left, no one else volunteered.
They all looked at each other. Some wanted to go up, but they were too embarrassed.
If you guys dont take the initiative toe up, Ill call out the names. Li Xianghui looked down. Lin Yi,e out.
Before he could finish his sentence, more than ten girls turned around in unison, anticipation written all over their faces.
After being called out by Li Xianghui, Lin Yi couldnt refuse. He walked to the front of the stage openly.
With Lin Yis experience over the past few years, this was a small matter to him.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
As soon as Lin Yi stood on the podium, intense apuse sounded from below.
It was as if he was going to hold a concert.
Li Xianghui looked at the girls below and shook his head helplessly. He really couldnt do anything about them.
Hello, everyone. My name is Lin Yi.
He said a simple sentence. After saying that, Lin Yi walked down.
He ended this new self-introduction with ease and fluency.
The meeting room was silent as everyone looked at each other.
Although it was supposed to be a short self-introduction, it couldnt be this short!
This was a little too much!
Youre too simplistic. Li Xianghui smiled and said,
Be like Zhou Xinghai, say more.
Although Zhou Xinghai was alwayspeting for first ce, Li Xianghui did not like this kind of person.
Ironically, it was Lin Yis nonpetitive nature, coupled with his age being a few years older than the others, that made him particrly favored.
Right, tell us more, we want to get to know you better,
Zhang Zixin, who had held Lin Yis feet down earlier, spoke up.
Get to know me better? How exactly do you want to get to know me?
Could you write your mobile number on the ckboard? Were going to be colleagues, after all, so we should at least have a way to contact each other. Do we really need to do that? It feels like were freshmen starting college. Its mainly for convenience, Li Xianghui added.
Even though well be assigned to different posts eventually, were all from the same batch, so naturally, well be closer. Exchanging phone numbers now will make it easier to help each other out in the future.
Okay.
Fine.
Since Li Xianghui had already spoken, he had to give him some face.
Lin Yi returned to the stage and left his phone number on the ckboard. Instructor Li, 1 forgot to leave my phone number earlier; Id like to go write it down too, Zhou Xinghai raised his hand and said.
Okay, go ahead, Li Xianghui nodded. The next trainees to introduce themselves should do the same as Lin Yi, leave your phone numbers for easier contact.
When he returned to the stage, Zhou Xinghai wrote his phone number on the ckboard.
Interestingly, Zhou Xinghais handwriting was very big.
It was five times bigger than Lin Yis, and the strokes were very heavy, afraid that others would not be able to see it clearly.
If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can call me. As long as its something I can help with, 1 wont hesitate.
Gu Yiran nced at Zhou Xinghai. He was a smart guy.
Zhou Xinghai, can 1 ask you for a favor now? Zhang Zixin asked.
You said that as long as you could help, you would.
Zhou Xinghai patted his chest enthusiastically.
The fact that someone was asking for his help at this moment was a great sign. With the two instructors here, it would definitely leave a good impression on them!
When it came time for the task assignment, he would be able to stay in the police station and not be dispatched elsewhere.
Could you trace over Lin Yis phone number a bit more heavily? Im a bit nearsighted and cant see it clearly..

Chapter 1649: Showing off the New Hairstyle
Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Trace trace over it?
Zhou Xinghais joy faded in an instant. He had mixed feelings and was embarrassed.
Just trace over it. If youre unwilling, forget it.
Of course not. Its a small matter, Zhou Xinghai pretended to be calm.
Zhou Xinghai took the chalk and started tracing over Lin Yis phone number on the ckboard.
However, at this moment, his heart felt like it was bleeding.
What the f*ck was going on?!
Lin Yi, Ive added you on WeChat. Can you ept?
Ill add you too. Im the one called Peach.
Hearing the girls words, Lin Yi took out his phone and realized that there were more than ten notifications. They were all friend requests.
The corner of Lin Yis eyes twitched. There were only a dozen girls in total. Were they all here to add him?
You all wanted my phone number, so howe youre adding me on WeChat now? Thats not very honest.
Hehe, just taking the opportunity. Hurry up and ept it.
Right, right, right. Judging by your ent, you must be from Zhonghai. My family is from out of town, so if 1 run into trouble, Ill have to ask for your help. You cant disdain us, okay?
Lin Yi,
Zhou Xinghai is also a local. You can ask him for help.
He must be quite busy. I wont waste his precious time.
Zhou Xinghai,???
Im not busy!
You guys cane and trouble me!
Originally, it was just a simple self-introduction. Each person should only take about half a minute.
But with Lin Yi, it took more than ten minutes for the female student to finish asking him everything.
During this process, they almost asked about the location of the ancestral grave.
He had no choice but to ept it.
In the next half an hour, everyone introduced themselves one after another and became familiar with each other.
Ive already introduced myself. Next, well start choosing the team leaders. Whoever has such thoughts cane up to the stage and vote, Li Xianghui said.
After everyone has introduced themselves, we will now proceed to select the team leader. Anyone interested in taking on this role cane forward, and then well have a vote, said Li Xianghui.
Brother Hai, Brother Hai, its time to choose the team leader. You should hurry up and go forward, Ding Chao said excitedly.
Zhou Xinghai tidied up his clothes and walked towards the front desk.
But at this moment, Zhang Zixin said,
Instructor Li, dont go through so much trouble. We rmend Lin Yi to be the captain.
Yes, yes, yes. We all support Lin Yi.
The other girls also echoed. The scene instantly became noisy and difficult to control.
Instructor, lets choose Lin Yi. You saw his performance in the afternoon. His level is very high, Zhang Peng said.
Under the lead of the tendies, the others were also motivated.
Nobody really cared much about this matter since it didnt decide anything. Moreover, Lin Yi had helped them train in the afternoon, so they didnt mind choosing him.
Zhou Xinghai, did you want to be team leader?
Seeing Zhou Xinghai stand up, Li Xianghui asked.
Well
Zhou Xinghai stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
I-I dont want to be team leader. I just wanted to go to the toilet.
Alright, go ahead.
Once the team leader was selected, the meeting ended. After that, it was time to eat. The rest of the day was free time.
After an afternoon of training, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
During the meal, many girls gathered in front of Lin Yi, chatting andughing as if they were good friends.
Zhou Xinghai and Ding Chao, who were sitting not far away, had stern expressions on their faces. The atmosphere was abnormally harsh.
These girls are too shallow. They pounce on the handsome ones the moment they see them. They have no depth at all, Ding Chao said.
If they hadnt jeered, youd definitely have been elected. Its because the rest were led astray that that pretty boy got away with it.
It doesnt matter. Its just a disciplinarian role. It doesnt matter if I dont do it. If I work harder on Instructor Gu, my future development will definitely be better than his.
But 1 think Instructor Li seems to think highly of him.
Whats the use of Instructor Li fancying him? Instructor Gu hates him. Shell assign him elsewhere with just a single sentence. We dont have to pay attention to him. As long as we help Instructor Gu deal with him, we will get our chance.
Youre right.
After everyone had finished their meal, Lin Yi did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he found an empty area and called Ji Qingyan via video call.
Have you eaten?
In the video, Jiuzhou Pavilion was seated at their dining table.
I just finished eating. Im walking around to aid my digestion.
Have they issued the uniforms? Hurry up and put them on for me to see. Ji Qingyan was a little excited.
They only gave out a set of training clothes. You saw it during the day.
Forget about that set. Its so loose that it doesnt look good at all. Ji Qingyan picked up a chicken wing and ate her watch.
Why are you only showing me your chin? Wheres your face?
I was about to tell you about this. Before officially showing the video, you have to be mentally prepared.
Its just a video. Whats there to be mentally prepared for?
Let me show you my new hairstyle.
With that, Lin Yi pointed the camera at his face.
Ah?
Ah!
Ji Qingyan screamed when she saw Lin Yis buzz cut.
Why did you cut your hair?
Their rules state that you need these hairstyles. A few of us had to cut our long hair.
Lin Yi rubbed his head. I think it looks pretty good. Is there a need to show such a big reaction? This way, I dont have to wash it every day. Itll save me a lot of trouble.
Its not as good-looking as before, but its more masculine. Ji Qingyan pursed her lips and said.
But theres still room for improvement with this hairstyle of yours. When youe back, 111 take you to get your hair done. They can even make it look better.
Do I have a choice?
What do you think? Ji Qingyan retorted.
After that, the two of them chatted for another twenty minutes before hanging up. They mostly talked about the afternoon training, but there was nothing substantive.
After hanging up the video call with Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi called Liang Ruoxu.
He realized that she was still in the office and had not returned home. She was wearing a white shirt and her chest looked especially round.
President Lin, are you calling me at this time for something?
Putting down the pen in her hand, Liang Ruoxu smiled and said,
Its nothing serious. Its just a new hairstyle. I wanted to show you.
Liang Ruoxus eyes lit up. Really?
Ji Qingyan was obsessed with looks, and Liang Ruoxu was no better. She was also very concerned about Lin Yis hairstyle.
When Lin Yi initially wanted to get a buzzcut, she was the one who strongly objected.
Of course, its true. I just finished cutting it and was about to show you for your evaluation.
Quick, show me your face.
Sure thing.
Lin Yi moved the camera, and Liang Ruoxus expression froze.
You actually got a buzzcut!!! Dont say that you know me in the future. This is so embarrassing..

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi scratched his head. He really couldnt understand why each of them had such a big reaction.
Dont you think it looks even better? I feel pretty good.
Its not nice at all.
Liang Ruoxu scrutinized for a while andmented, But theres still hope for your hairstyle. You used to look like a scumbag, but now you can go for the rugged & handsome route.
Lin Yi,
Im a little curious. What did President Ji say about your hairstyle?
She said the same thing as you, that my hairstyle needs to be revised.
Look, wevee to an agreement. Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi.
But why did you cut your hair like this? Didnt 1 tell you before that you cant do this haircut?
1 found a new job recently. They had certain hairstyle requirements, so 1 cut it.
Im a little puzzled. What kind of job requires you to maintain a certain hairstyle? Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi and examined him.
Dont tell me you were locked up and forced to shave your head?
Damn it, cant you say something nice about me?
Then what are you doing this time?
The secrets of heaven cant be revealed. Dont ask so many questions.
Lin Yi didnt tell Liang Ruoxu much about his work. Otherwise, Chen Bingqiang would be informed immediately and then show up at the police station.
This would easily expose his identity. If everyone knew about it, this matter would be meaningless.
You just finished at Dongsan County. 1 thought you would stop for a few days.
1 didnt expect you to start causing trouble again so soon.
Let me tell you, Liang Ruoxu. You can insult me, but you cant insult my job.
Go, go, go. Stay aside. 1 have other things to do. Im not going to speak to you anymore.
Liang Ruoxu hung up without giving Lin Yi a chance to speak.
Lin Yi smacked his lips. Couldnt this woman be gentler?
Then, Lin Yi sent WeChat messages to Li Chuhan, Wang Ying, and Wang Cuiping.
This time, the close-cropped hairstyle received continuous praise.
Especially Wang Cuiping. Not only did she say that Lin Yis close-cropped hair looked good, but she also said that he would look good even if he went bald.
Women like this were a specialty of Huaxian culture.
No matter what he looked like, he was good-looking.
After chatting with the women, Lin Yi returned to the dormitory.
As soon as he pushed the door open and entered, he saw Zhang Peng holding his phone and saying in an unusually pretentious manner,
Sister, dont worry. It doesnt matter if your skills are poor. As long as I guide you, Ill guarantee that youll be a champion in less than a month.
Yo, Brother Lin is back.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, Zhang Peng said his goodbyes.
What are you doing? Why is your expression so pleased?
The girl 1 met on the Inte. Shes a little lousy at the game. She asked me to carry her. When 1 do so, 1 think we will see some sparks.
Are you good enough? Its not a good job to take care of a girl.
After taking care of Sugar for two years, Lin Yi deeply understood a simple principle.
Carrying a girl was not a pleasant task.
Zhang Peng put on a pretentious act as he leaned back and pointed.
Im not bragging to you. After all, 1 was almost a professional yer. In terms of skill and tactics, other than professional yers, Im not afraid of anyone. Its just a matter of time before I get this girl to King rank.
Then youre considered a god. Lin Yi said.
What does the girl look like? She must be worth your effort.
Very beautiful. Zhang Peng said mysteriously.
Come,e,e. Let me show you his photo.
Since he had nothing to do, Lin Yi went over to take a look and realized that she was indeed good-looking, being about the same level as Zhang Zixin.
Dont carry her. 1 dont think there will be much progress. Her looks are average. Shes not worthy of your skills.
Brother Lin, youre being a little pretentious by saying that. Youre so good-looking, but you actually said that her looks are average?
Let me introduce you to someone better looking. If you can carry her to King rank, 1 dont know if there will be sparks, but I can easily set up a meal for you two.
What does a girl look like?
Wait a minute, Ill show you her photo.
Lin Yi went to Sugars profile and dug up a few photos.
Im not sure of your taste.
Holy shit!
Zhang Peng almost jumped out of bed.
Her looks and figure are too much!
Zhang Peng stared at Sugars photo like a fanboy for a long time. Then, he flipped through all the photos on her profile, and his eyes almost fell out of his skull.
People like you with good looks always have pretty girls around. Ill follow your lead from now on. Youve got to bring me along more often in the future.
No problem. Lin Yi chuckled.
But from what 1 know of her, if you can carry her to Kings rank, her impression of you will probably increase greatly. I wont say much about what happens next. You can experience it yourself.
Really? Its that easy?
Shes also a Pesticide enthusiast, but her level is a little low. The oue all depends on whether youre willing to take her under your wing.
Isnt that obvious? Hurry up and send her WeChat to me. Carrying girls to King rank is my forte.
One moment.
Lin Yi took his phone and sent Sugars WeChat message to Zhang Peng.
You just tell her I rmended you to add her, then y games with her, and shell ept the invitation.
Thanks, Lin bro, from now on, youre my benefactor.
Thats easy to say. Im going to sleep now. Whether sparks fly between you two depends on your own skills.
A master leads you to the door, but learning is up to the individual. Dont worry, Lin bro. For a girl of this level, Ill try to take her to the Kings rank within a week.
I can tell at a nce that youre a good young man with aspirations. Work hard.
Zhang Peng returned to his bed excitedly. Lin Yi also returned to his bed to rest. At the same time, he reminded Sugar not to expose his identity.
Ring ring ring!
The next morning, at six oclock, the rm rang.
ording to the rules, everyone had to get up and wash up. Those who werete would be punished. As for what kind of punishment they faced, it all depended on the instructors mood.
Hearing the ringing, Lin Yi immediately sat up from his bed.
However, as soon as he got out of bed, he saw Zhang Peng sitting cross-legged on his bed, staring straight at him. He even had dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not sleptst night.
F*ck, why are you looking at me like that?
Brother Lin, are you sure the person you introduced me to is a girl with a normal IQ?
Of course shes normal. She works in a university and is very capable.
But do you know that I, a King ranker, dropped to Diamond after ying games with her for the entire night?
Uh shes a girl. Its only natural that shes not good at the game.
Shes not just bad, 1 think shecks hands, Zhang Peng said.
Our dog ys better than her.
Lin Yi chuckled.
Thats an insult to your dog.

Its fine. Keep up the good work tonight. You might get something in return.
Stop, stop, stop. Brother Lin, stop scamming me. Let me live for a few more years.
Damn it, I gave you a chance, but you couldnt even seize it.
Im a mortal after all. I really cant carry a yer of this level.
Alright, stop dawdling. Pack up, get up, and get ready.
The two of them went to the bathroom to wash up and then went to the canteen to eat.
F*ck, he actually went to Instructor Gus side to eat. How could he have the cheek to do that? Zhang Peng said.
Although everyone wanted to get close to the instructor, no one was shameful enough to do such a thing.
But Zhou Xinghai did it.
Actually, theres nothing much to say about this kind of thing. Coincidentally, such people are quite popr in the workce.
Thats right. Everyone likes bootlickers.
Lets just ignore him. Lets go eat first.
The breakfast in the canteen was sumptuous, but it was still lighter than lunch and dinner. This was in line with the Huaxian diet.
They wouldnt be able to digest anything too greasy in the morning.
Halfway through the meal, Li Xianghui walked up to Lin Yi. Gather at 7:30 and take them for a stretch. Then, well officially start training at 8:00.
Got it.
Li Xianghui nodded. Then, he took his te and went to get some food. He was yawning non-stop. It was obvious that he had not slept well.
After dinner, everyone arrived at the field one after another.
As the team leader, Lin Yi also shouldered the responsibility and organized everyone to undergo simple stretching.
His role was a little like that of the sportsmittee in school. He helped the teachers do some chores, but he did not have any substantial authority.
At eight oclock in the morning, everyone stood in formation. Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran walked over from afar with a stopwatch in their hands.
Todays morning physical fitness test will be conducted ording to military standards. Completing a 5-kilometer run in 23 minutes meets the standard, 20 minutes is considered good, and 19 minutes is excellent. These results will be recorded in your assessment scores. You have 10 minutes to warm up before the test begins.
Five kilometers in 23 minutes!
Everyoneined. They felt that this was a task that could not bepleted.
If they were from the army, such a standard was nothing. Most of them couldplete it.
However, most of them had graduated from the police academy. Although they had received some basic training, they were only slightly fitter than ordinary university students.
It was obviously a little overboard to ask them to meet such a standard.
Only those who were especially good at running could barely reach the standard, while the rest could not.
For example, it was already very impressive if they were able to run it in less than 25 minutes.
In fact, it was already not easy toplete it in 30 minutes.
Now, they would only have 23 minutes. Wasnt this heaven-defying?
Instructor, can you be a little more lenient? This request is a little difficult for us, Zhang Zixin said.
Even if its difficult, you have to persevere. Dont forget your identities. After wearing this uniform, youre no longer ordinary citizens. You have to hold yourselves to the high standards!
But 1 dont think anyone here can finish it.
At this moment, Zhou Xinghai did not say anything.
This was because when he was in university, he had done a test. His best result was 24 minutes.
Now, it had been almost half a year since graduation. He did not exercise in between. Forget running it in 24 minutes, it was already not bad if he could finish in 25 minutes.
Just because you cant do it doesnt mean others cant.
Gu Yiran looked at Lin Yi, As their team leader, you have the responsibility to set an example for these people, dont you think so?
Im just helping to organize them. What does this have to do with me?
Since you know your identity, you have to set an example. If you cant do this, wont you feel very embarrassed?
Lin Yi felt that this tigress was still challenging him.
They all had the same two eyes and mouth. Why did he have to be more impressive than the rest?
If you cant, stand aside. Ill get someone else toe out.
Its not a big problem.
Gu Yiran snorted, Are you sure you can do it in 23 minutes?
Dont talk about me. Whats your best score?
20 minutes and 32 seconds. Gu Yiran said confidently.
Oh my god, this is too amazing, Zhang Zixin said enviously. Were both girls, but why is Instructor Gu so outstanding? 1 exhaust myself but still cant match this timing.
Theres nothing to be surprised about. Your situations are different, Lin Yi said.
When you run, the constant bouncing will definitely affect your speed. However, she doesnt have such worries. Her results will definitely be better than yours.
Bouncing
Zhang Zixin nced at Gu Yiran.
This seemed to make sense.
Be serious! Gu Yiran snorted.
My results have been shared. 1 hope you can perform well and not be worse than a woman like me.
You didnt even do it in 19 minutes. Where did you get your sense of superiority from?
Heli
Gu Yiran nced at Lin Yi, The world record for five kilometers for women is 14 minutes and 11 seconds, and for men, its 12 minutes and 37 seconds. Do you think Im bad for running it in 20 minutes and 32 seconds?
Its indeed quite ordinary.
Phew
Zhou Xinghai hissed, Lin Yi, can you have some self-awareness? Instructor Gus results are already very outstanding. As a boy, you would have run it in around 18 points to be on par with her results. Do you think you can do it?
Pretty much.
Then Id like to know, whats your best score for the 5k?
I havent run five kilometers before. Still, Im a capable guy. It shouldnt be a problem for me to surpass her.
Brother Lin is awesome! Zhang Peng whispered.
Didnt you say youre better than me? Run now. If you can finish within 18 minutes, Ill admit that youre better than me. Gu Yiran said.
If 1 really run now, can 1 skip morning practice?
Sure.
Gu Yiran agreed without hesitation, But if you lose, everyone will practice for an extra two hours today.
No, no, no.
Zhou Xinghai stepped out and stood beside Gu Yiran.
Instructor Gu, Im not with him. Please dont count me alongside him. We cant be punished for his failure.
Me too. Im not familiar with him, so 1 wont get involved, Ding Peng said.
Seeing the two of them stepping out, Gu Yiran crossed her arms and looked at the others.
Do any of you want to join him? If he loses, youll have to train for two more hours. Its not much. If you feel that youre full of energy, you can give it a try.
We wont bother. An average athlete can achieve such times, but I dont believe he can finish within 18 minutes.
He had never run five kilometers before. He probably misunderstood this distance. In the end, he didnt even know how he died.
More than 20 boys stood on Gu Yirans side, leaving only Zhang Peng and a few girls on Lin Yis side.
Instructor Gu, thats not right, is it? Why are you threatening them?

Chapter 1652: Room for Improvement

Am I? Gu Yiran said proudly.
Im just telling the truth. If you can finish within 18 minutes, the people on your side wont have to train today. Otherwise, theyll have to train for two extra hours. I think thats very fair.
Lin Yi turned around and looked at the people behind him.
What do you think?
Zhang Peng could not make up his mind.
Are you sure you can do it? Based on the current situation, if we really have to train for two extra hours, Instructor Gu will toy with us to death.
I dont think its a big deal. It depends on whether you believe me.
Then lets do it. If we lose, well practice for two more hours. We wont die. Whats there to be afraid of?
What about you guys?
Lin Yi looked at the girls and said.
Were not afraid either. If you say theres no problem, well believe you.
Its done!
Seeing that the few of them had reached a consensus, Li Xianghui stole a nce.
They were willing to follow him into such an obvious trap. These people were quite loyal.
Since youve decided, I wont say anything else.
Gu Yiran saw Lin Yi and said,
You can start when youre ready. Therell be someone here to keep time for you.
Lets start now. Lets not waste any more time.
Li Xianghui walked forward. This is not a standard track. Onep is about 300 meters. Youll finish after running 17ps. You can start when youre ready.
Okay.
Lin Yi got on the track, and the timer began.
He started so quickly. One look and you can tell that hes inexperienced, Ding Peng gloated.
Didnt he just say that he hasnt run five kilometers before? Naturally, hecks experience. At this rate, he will slow down after onep, Zhou Xinghai said.
In my opinion, not only will he have to slow down, but he will also have to stop to catch his breath after running for a while.
It wont be fun if he gets out of breath. Then hed have an excuse.
This isnt childs y. He cant deny it just because he wants to. Ding Peng smiled and said.
In short, if he cant finish in 18 minutes, hell have to train for two more hours. No one will entertain his excuses.
Zhou Xinghai turned around and looked at Zhang Peng with a smile.
Seriously, you people actually believe that he can finish in 18 minutes. 1 really dont know what youre thinking.
What does our belief have to do with you? Zhang Peng replied forcefully.
Zhou Xinghai shrugged. It doesnt matter to me. After all, Im not the one whos training extra.
Hes here, hes here, Brother Lin is here!
While they were talking, Lin Yi had already finished running onep!
58 seconds!
Zhang Peng and the others were very excited to see Lin Yi get this result.
Onep of the field was 300 meters. Five kilometers was about 17ps.
ording to this data, as long as he ran eachp in about a minute, he would definitely be able to finish in 18 minutes.
Arent you guys celebrating too early? Zhou Xinghai said.
He only got this result for the firstp. Do you think he can do it again for the secondp? Dont you have anymon sense?
Zhang Peng and the others became serious. No one paid attention to Zhou Xinghai.
Because he was right.
When he ran the firstp, he was full of energy and he was naturally quick.
However, he would lose his stamina bit by bit. By the time he reached the second and thirdps, he would not be able to keep up the pace.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, based on the current situation, it seemed impossible to run five kilometers in less than 18 minutes.
Brother Lin is here!
Brother Lin, go for it!
Come on!
Lin Yi waved at Zhang Peng and the others before continuing to run.
57 seconds! Brother Lins speed hasnt decreased. On the contrary, hes one second faster! Zhang Zixin said excitedly.
Twops is nothing. I dont know why you guys are so excited, Zhou Xinghai said.
It means that we still have a chance. Why? Are you afraid? Zhang Zixin raised her head and said.
I really cant exin it to you. Zhou Xinghai waved his hand. 1 hope you wontin when you need to train more.
Dont worry, I definitely wont!
Soon, everyone saw Lin Yi again!
Lap three, 55 seconds!
Li Xianghui looked at the stopwatch in his hand. The students results were about the same as his.
In other words, after running for nearly a kilometer, not only did Lin Yis speed not decrease, but he actually got faster.
His stamina was really good.
Lap four, 54 seconds!
Lap five, 56 seconds!
Lap six, 55 seconds!
Lap seven, 57 seconds!
This time, everyone realized that something was wrong. Even Zhou Xinghai no longer gloated.
After running for two kilometers in a row, the timing of eachp were within one second of each other!
Was this a result that ordinary people could achieve?
After a few more minutes, everyones shouts got louder and louder!
Brother Lin, go for it!
Three moreps, victory is right in front of us!
Lap 15, 58 seconds!
Lap 16, 56 seconds!
Lap 17, 59 seconds!
F*ck, Brother Lin is awesome. He actually finished five kilometers in 17 minutes!
After running five kilometers, Zhang Peng and the others rushed towards Lin Yi and surrounded him, making him look like an Olympic champion.
Hes really talented. Li Xianghui said.
He actually finished in 16 minutes and 15 seconds. He is really fast.
After seeing Lin Yis time, Gu Yiran was stunned. The air seemed to have frozen at this moment, covering the heads of more than twenty people.
A person who had never ever run five kilometers actually finished it in 17 minutes!
Moreover, looking at his state, it was as if nothing had happened. In other words, he could be faster!
Instructor Gu, I finished within 17 minutes. This time should be much better than you, right? Do we still need to practice? Lin Yi said with a smile.
Gu Yirans expression changed. He felt like he was going to die from anger.
You dont have to practice today!
Li Xianghui shook his head.
This was already the thirdpetition between them. Little Gu seemed to have lost.
Oh yeah!
Zhang Peng and the others cheered. Thank you, Instructor Gu. Were going to the side.
Youd better have some self-awareness. Training here is to learn skills. Itll be useful when you work in the future. If you skip too much, you guys will be the ones to suffer, Zhou Xinghai said indifferently.
Can you tell me how we will suffer? Lin Yi said.
You didnt seem to be as good as me when we were doing sit-ups yesterday. If you think youre better than me after practicing, we can spar.
At the mention of yesterdays sit-ups, Zhou Xinghai felt even more awkward.
Im here to learn. I dont have time topete against you.
Lin Yi ignored Zhou Xinghai and walked to Gu Yiran, whispering,
As a woman, being able to run a 20:32 is quite good, but if your size was a bit smaller, you might be able to shave off a few more seconds. Although theres no room for an A-cup to get any smaller, with effort, there might still be room for improvement. Im rooting for you, keep it up..

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
You!
This time, Gu Yiran couldnt help but kick Lin Yi.
Gu Yiran moved very fast. When she raised her leg, there was even the sound of it cutting the wind. It was clear that she was skilled.
However, to Lin Yi, she was very slow and didnt pose any threat.
Instinctively, he turned sideways and easily dodged Gu Yirans attack.
Dont be so angry. Its bad for your health.
With that, Lin Yi waved his hand and sat in the shade, not nning to participate in the morning training anymore.
The female students cheered and even bought water and drinks for Lin Yi. They all sat under the shade of the tree, feeling veryfortable.
On the other hand, the others were still training under the sun.
The morning passed quickly. However, in the afternoon, they still practicedbat techniques.
The days training did not end until 9 PM. The intensity increased immediately, and everyoneined.
Only Lin Yi felt like it was a drizzle.
However, by the end of the night, Li Xianghui called Lin Yi aside.
How do you feel? The intensity suddenly increased. Did you feel it?
Its not a big problem. Lin Yi smiled. Did you suddenly call me over for something?
Its not a big deal. Li Xianghui said.
I can see that there should be some conflict between you and Little Gu, but no matter what, youre a man. Theres no need topete with her. There are other students around. If you do this, it will be difficult to start working together.
The thing is that this has nothing to do with me, Lin Yi said.
Shes the one who keeps picking on me. 1 dont even want to talk to her.
Shes also responsible for this matter. 111 talk to herter. If theres anything, settle it privately. Dont let it affect the training during the day.
No problem.
Then Ill leave first. Go back and rest early. Li Xianghui patted Lin Yis shoulder and left.
When he returned to the dormitory that night, Lin Yi went to take a shower. Then, he found a secluded ce and sent Ji Qingyan a WeChat message.
Why are you sote today?
Ji Qingyans face was covered with a face mask, and there was a te of fruits beside her. She looked rather content.
Yesterday, the training was just to let us get used to it. Today, its more intense. Lin Yi said.
Hows the project going? No more troublemakers, right?
No, everything is going well. Ji Qingyan said with a smile.
Ive noticed something, the more 1 look at your buzz cut, the more pleasing it bes. When you return, 111 take you for a trim. From now on, we will ensure you stay stylish.
After all, with our looks, we can easily pull off any hairstyle.
Be modest, were adults now, dont you feel a bit shy?
Youre influenced by those you associate with, Ive learned this from someone else.
Tsk, not me. Ji Qingyan replied with her head held high.
After chatting for more than twenty minutes, Lin Yi went back to rest.
When he returned to the dormitory, Zhang Pengs snores were already thunderous.
How could Lin Yi let him sleep if he was like this? He really have let Sugar y games with him again.
Over the next four days, they entered even more rigorousbat training, and the intensity increased greatly.
Other than that, there was still an hour of training on various regtions every day. Almost all the time was allocated like this.
Because of Li Xianghui, Gu Yiran did not deliberately target Lin Yi these few days.
The two of them maintained a harmonious rtionship on the surface and nothing happened that they couldnt control.
Although Lin Yis rtionship with Gu Yiran was not very good, his rtionship with Li Xianghui was rtively decent.
He even quietly hinted that if Lin Yi practiced well, he would not be demoted and could ultimately stay in the branch office.
This was considered a show of favor.
During this time, Lin Yi also understood the situation on Qi Xianzhaos side.
Thepensation agreement was basically finalized, and the cargo ship in Zhonghai had been contacted.
As long as he could get the goods back, this business deal would be done.
After wasting so much time, the losses had already exceeded 50 million.
However, to the Lingyun Group, it was not considered a loss because they had still not paid 20% of the bnce. This was enough to cover the unexpected losses from the incident.
The only problem was that it would take some time.
Damn it, Im finally done. Zhang Peng was covered in sweat. He took off his shirt and twisted it, squeezing out a lot of water.
Team Leader, arent you sweating too? Take off your clothes. Itll cool you down. Zhang Zixin looked at Lin Yi.
Ill go back tonight and help you wash your clothes.
Hey, hey, hey you people are too brazen. Pay attention to your identities. Zhang Peng said.
But if you really have such a need, just tell me, and you can look as much as you want.
I dont even have a bit of abs, we wont look at it, Zhang Zixin said disdainfully.
Dont make fun of me, 1 do have a little if I really try.
We wont look even if you have them. Youre not as handsome as our captain, so your abs definitely arent up to par either.
Thats too much, Zhang Peng said.
But speaking of which, Brother Lins physique is really not to be underestimated. He looks slim in clothes but muscr without, Ive sneakily taken several photos, do you want to see them? Five yuan each.
What the f*ck, whats the difference between your behavior and a pirated movie seller on WeChat?
Theres no difference. This is also a way to get rich.
Damn!
Zhang Peng, I have 300 yuan with me. Lets not talk about the photos anymore. If you can strip Brother Lin and show me what he looks like, this money is all yours.
Yes, yes, yes. 1 also have 120 here.
Come,e,e. If you want to see the captains abdominal muscles, lets pool our money. I have 210.
In the end, the six girls pooled together 1,000 yuan. Zhang Zixin took the money and waved it in front of Zhang Peng.
Heres the money. If you want it, strip Brother Lin. Well just take a look.
Youre underestimating me, Zhang Peng. Am I the kind of person who would betray his brother for money?!
Damn it, dont betray me by trying to strip off my clothes.
A nce for 1000 yuan, even a celebrity doesnt make this much. This is literally a golden road to wealth. Dont think too much about it, Brother Lin, just sacrifice yourself a little.
Get lost. Lin Yiughed and scolded, kicking Zhang Peng to the side.
Although the evenings training had ended, there was still an hour of instruction to go, with someone specificallying to exin some theory.
To everyone, it was considered a rest.
It was a time for Lin Yi to ck off. He left to use the toilet, then hid.
With Li Xianghuis protection, he could ck off openly.
After tuning in for more than twenty minutes, Lin Yi used the excuse of peeing to walk out of the meeting room.
What are you doing here with a long face?
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Li Xianghui sitting on the steps smoking with a miserable expression.
Its nothing, Li Xianghui replied casually. Why did youe out again? Theres an exam tomorrow. Dont take it lightly.
With you protecting me, what am 1 afraid of?
Im the vice-captain. 1 wont interfere in other peoples business. Dont rely on me.
If I fail, its because youre not capable enough. This will be an insult to your ability.
Youre the most shameless person Ive ever met.
Youre wee. Lin Yi said.
Tell me, whats going on? Why are you frowning?
The higher-ups asked me to get some medicine, but 1 cant manage to do it..
Chapter 1654 - 1654: Chance Encounter
Chapter 1654: Chance Encounter
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Medicine?
Comrade Li Xianghui, dont mess around. Your career is on the rise now. Be careful not to get fired.
F*ck off, cant you have some respect for me? Li Xianghui scolded. 1 meant pain medicine. Dont overthink it.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. It shouldnt be an ordinary painkiller, right?
The leaders mother-inw haste-stage bone cancer. Its so painful that
she cant take it anymore. He cant bear to see her like this, so he wants to get some painkillers.
But with his connections, it shouldnt be difficult for him to get these things. Lin Yi knew very well that they had this stuff in Huashan Hospital.
However, the government had very strict control over the drug.
It had to be signed by the hospital director before it could be used.
Moreover, after use, the bottles could not simply be thrown away. They had to return the same number of bottles that they were initially allocated. Otherwise, the leaders of the hospital would be punished.
If one didnt have some ability, they really wouldnt be able to get their hands on it.
Thats true, but hes already begged for help many times. He couldnt possibly beg anymore.
Then how did this task fall to you?
Li Xianghui was the vice-captain and had good resources and connections.
However, he was clearly helpless when it came to such matters.
My sister-inw is the head nurse at the citys second hospital, so theres a bit of a channel there, but Ive already helped him get two doses before, and 1 cant get any more. Li Xianghui scratched his head, Im really worried about what to do about this.
How much do you need? Ill get you some.
Li Xianghuis eyes lit up. Really? You have a channel?
This is nothing. Forget about getting a few bottles of medicine, even if you want to build a house, 1 can help you find an excavator.
Is your channel reliable? This is not a joke.
Dont worry, therell be no problem at all. 1 wont joke about my job.
Then what are we waiting for? Hurry, hurry, go get a few. Li Xianghui said.
And this must be kept a secret. Dont let anyone know.
I can keep it a secret, but I cant go out now. Ill help you with it after the lecture.
Li Xianghui rolled his eyes.
This is a little urgent. Can you get it now?
I can.
You could jump out from the base of the wall, ande back after youre done.
There are cameras all around, and there are patrols at night too. What if I get caught?
The cameras have blind spots. If theres a patrol, just have your roommate say that were together, then no one will say anything.
Alright, with you covering for me, I wont be afraid.
Go on. Its urgent.
Sure thing.
After staying here for so many days, Lin Yi wanted to leave to take a breather.
Thus, he found the aforementioned blind spot and climbed over the wall to escape.
After leaving the training base, Lin Yi called Li Chuhan.
Are you at home or at the hospital?
Im on duty at the hospital today, Li Chuhan said gently.
Is the training over?
Li Chuhan knew about him being a police officer. She also had the calmest reaction to this.
Im done. Lets ck off and rx. You shoulde out too. Theres a night market nearby. Lets go check it out.
Is this convenient for you?
Of course its convenient. Juste over. Lin Yi said.
Bring me five more bottles of painkillers. If the hospital wont give them to you, just mention my name.
Alright, send me the address. Ill head over and look for you.
Okay.
This was one of the benefits of chatting with Li Chuhan.
No matter what you asked her to do, she would not ask any questions.
She would quietly handle what she could and directly inform you about what she couldnt. She would not beat around the bush.
After finishing his call with Li Chuhan, Lin Yi drove to the night market on Xiangchun Road.
This area was home to two vocational schools. Although the schools werent prestigious, the students here had first-rate spending power.
As time passed, it became a night market. It was quite famous in Zhonghai and could often be seen on TikTok.
After talcing a taxi to the night market, Lin Yi waited at the entrance for a few minutes before Li Chuhan arrived.
The red G63 attracted the attention of many people present.
After all, this was not an ordinary Mercedes-Benz G, but the model that cost more than three million yuan.
It was notmon to see such a good car in this suburban area.
Li Chuhans appearance shocked the onlookers even more.
Such a beautiful woman actually drove a G63. It was too domineering.
Li Chuhan was wearing a pair of jeans, which perfectly outlined her legs. The top half of her body was draped in a long gown that covered her butt. Thisbination was really eye-catching.
Thats a nice car.
Not far away, Gu Yiran looked at Li Chuhans G63 with envy.
She was different from other girls. She liked this kind of hardcore SUV.
And a car like the G63 was 100% in line with her aesthetics.
It was just that he was short of money and could not afford such a good car.
This car is indeed really nice. I believe it cost three million yuan. The woman driving the car is also quite good-looking. Looking at her cold appearance, she must be rich, said Gu Yirans colleague, Liu Pingping.
Thats for sure. Can an ordinary person drive a car worth more than three million yuan? Just look at her outfit and you can tell that shes worth a lot. Gu Yiran said.
But its quite interesting. Such a rich person actually came to a civilian night market.
Rich people are also humans. The food at the night market is so delicious. Who doesnt like it?
Youre right. Gu Yiran said.
Lets go. Its gettingte. Lets go back. We still have to work tomorrow. Arent you going to stare at it for a while longer? This car isntmon. Theres no point in staring. I cant afford it either way. Itll just make me envious.
Eh? That man looks a little familiar. Why does he look like the new trainee? Liu Pingping said suspiciously.
How is that possible? You must be mistaken. The training center ispletely sealed. They cante out at all.
I didnt see wrongly. Look at that man. He seems to be Lin Yi, the guy who youve been having conflicts with.
Him?
Following Liu Pingpings gaze, Gu Yiran looked over.
She suddenly realized that the person standing beside that woman was really
Lin Yi!
Whats going on? Liu Pingping asked in surprise.
How did he manage to get out? ording to the rules, sneaking out of the training base is grounds for expulsion, right?
He probably couldnt resist sneaking out. Gu Yiran said:
Lets go and see.
Hm? What are you going over there for? To settle scores with him?
A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yirans mouth.
ording to the relevant regtions, his actions amount to voluntarily dropping out of the training. I need to go over and tell him, so he understands whats happening.
Give him another chance. Lets pretend we didnt see anything. Hes so handsome, could you really bring yourself to do it?
Why would I hesitate? I wish he would leave quickly. Otherwise, Ill have to make him so angry he dies, Gu Yiran said with augh.

Is the hospital busy? I hope it hasnt caused any inconvenience for you?
Its quite alright. Theres just one critical patient, but theyve already been moved out of the 1CU. With Qiao Xin around, there shouldnt be any problems, Li Chuhan said gently.
Besides, were not far from the hospital. If theres an ident, I can rush back in time.
Although the patient was important, Li Chuhan was more willing to spend time with Lin Yi.
As long as Im not disturbing you.
Li Chuhan nodded and handed the medicine to Lin Yi.
The higher-ups are even stricter on these things now. After using it, you have to give the bottle back. You cant break it.
I understand the rules. Lin Yi put the medicine in the car. Lets go to the night market first. Ill bring it back with me afterward.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Just as the two of them were about to leave, they suddenly heard someone speak.
Lin Yi turned around and saw that it was Gu Yiran.
Lin Yi smacked his lips.
Had he dug up her familys ancestral grave in his previous life? He was too unlucky. He had snuck out for a quick trip. Why did he meet her here?
Were just strolling around the night market. Cant you tell? Dont tell me you even care about these things?
I dont care about you, but dont you know what time it is? Gu Yiran said with a straight face.
During the training period, leaving the base without permission is not allowed.
Your current actions have already vited the relevant regtions. Pack your things tomorrow; you dont need to continue the trial training.
What do you mean by leaving the training base without permission? Who can prove that I left?
Huh?
Gu Yiran frowned, How dare you deny it when 1 caught you?
Im just telling the truth. Who can prove that I left? Lin Yi said, Evidence is important. Dont nder me.
Gu Yiran was so angry that sheughed. She thought that Lin Yi would argue, but she didnt expect him to outright deny it.
Even Liu Pingping didnt understand Lin Yi.
They had already been caught red-handed. Was there any point in arguing?
Did he think that everyone else was a fool?
Alright, you wont admit it, right? Gu Yiran held the phone and said,
Ill call my colleagues in charge now and ask them to go over and check the bed. Lets see how you can continue to argue after that.
Whatever.
Li Chuhan grabbed Lin Yis hand and whispered, Am I holding you up?
Its fine. Just ignore her.
On the other end, Gu Yiran made a call and said,
Go to Room 306 and check if the person called Lin Yi is there.
I checked just now. His roommates said that he went to Inspector Lis office, so hes not there.
Alright, 1 understand.
Seeing Gu Yiran hang up the phone, Lin Yi said, There should be no problem. Gu Yiran sneered, Do you think you can fool me by asking your roommates to help you lie?
Gu Yiran guessed the situation in the dormitory.
Her colleague must have been careless. He didnt expect the other party to lie, so he didnt pursue the matter.
If he called Inspector Li to confirm this matter, the truth would be revealed.
What else do you want?
Youre quite smart. You actually got your roommate to cover up and say that you went to Inspector Lis office. Ill call Inspector Li now and see what you say next.
Gu Yiran dialed Li Xianghuis number and turned on the loudspeaker.
Inspector Li.
What happened?
I want to ask if Lin Yi is with you.
Lin Yi?
Li Xianghui paused for a moment, as if he did not expect Gu Yiran to call and ask about this.
Hes with me. Whats wrong?
Gu Yiran,???
Liu Pingping,???
You mean to say hes with you?! Gu Yiran raised her voice subconsciously.
He felt that he still had something to improve on, so he asked me to help him with some additional training. Did you call me because he wasnt in the dormitory?
But 1 saw him at the night market. How could he be with you?
You saw him at the night market?
Li Xianghui muttered in his heart. Why did he go to the night market when he was asked to do something serious?
But at this moment, he couldnt say anything and could only follow Lin Yis act. Pingping and 1 were at the night market. We caught him red-handed. Thats impossible. Were training on the field. How could you bump into him? You must have seen wrongly.
No, 1 didnt see wrongly
Alright, lets not talk about this anymore. Hes right beside me. Is he capable of creating clones? There must be a lot of people in the night market. Youre mistaken.
Li Xianghui pretended to be serious and said,
Also, be mindful of your status. When you act, dont bring personal emotions into it. Dont just believe every rumor you hear. Alright, 1 have other matters to attend to, so I wont talk with you further.
After scolding Gu Yiran, Li Xianghui hung up the phone without giving her a chance to speak.
Look at what Im saying. Inspector Li has already proven that Im at the training base. What else do you have to say?
Gu Yiran held the phone and was confused for a while.
Had Inspector Li taken the wrong medicine? Why would he help him lie?
You two are working together, arent you?!
Im telling you, you can eat whatever you want, but you cant say whatever you want. Inspector Li is a selfless person. You cant nder him like this.
I dont know whats going on between the two of you, but let me tell you, this
is not over. 1 will report it to the higher-ups! Gu Yiran said.
You wont have to train tomorrow. Just pack your things and leave.
Gu Yirans n was simple. Since Inspector Li was covering for him, he would report it to the chief!
Lets see what he could do then!
Do you really think 1 cant deal with you?!
I dont care. You can do whatever you want. Lin Yi shrugged and said.
But I still want to advise you, dont abuse your power; it wont do you any good.
Im acting ording to the rules. Am 1 wrong to do so? Can I interpret this as a threat?
Take it any way you like.
With that, Lin Yi wrapped his hand around Li Chuhans waist. Come, lets go to the night market.
I dont think thats a good idea. Why dont you go back first ande out to apany meter when you have time? Li Chuhan said.
She seems to be angry. Im afraid that shell make things difficult for you in the future.
She has a small chest and a big temper. Her reasons are clear. Dont bother with her.
Huh?
Seeing the two of them leave, Gu Yiran was furious. She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to teach Lin Yi a lesson.
Calm down. There are so many people here. Dont you find it embarrassing? Liu Pingping stepped forward to stop the fight.
If they fought, it would be embarrassing. They would both lose their jobs. Dont hold me back. No one has ever dared to say that about me in my life! No way, I tease you about being fierce all the time, but Ive never seen you this angry.

Are you sure its okay?
While shopping at the night market, Li Chuhan was still a little worried.
She didnt want Lin Yi to dy his matters because of her.
Theres something wrong with that womans brain. Ignore her.
Okay.
Dont think about what happened just now. Ill buy you whatever you want to eat.
I want to eat steamed buns and squid. Li Chuhan smiled as brightly as a flower.
Wait here.
Li Chuhan stood to the side, and Lin Yi went to the stall to line up. But at this moment, his phone rang.
It was a WeChat message from Li Xianghui.
Call me back at your convenience.
Lin Yi didnt think too much about it and called him.
Inspector Li.
Whats going on? You met Little Gu?
I didnt expect to be so unlucky. 1 went to the night market and bumped into her. Lin Yi said.
Maybe Ive been cursed recently, I should find a fortune teller to break this streak.
Stop kidding around, didnt I tell you this matter was urgent? Why did you still go to the night market? Couldnt you have waited until after everything was settled?
Rushing will get you nowhere. 1 had to have someone deliver the medicine to me, and it just so happened that we arranged to meet here.
Youve got the medicine?
I got it. Five bottles in total.
Kid, youre not bad. You got it done so quickly.
If youre free,e over and pick up the medicine, then deliver it to the higher-up.
Ive got other matters to attend to. Just deliver it to the Orthopedics Department of Huashan Hospital.
Why should I be the one to deliver it? This is your chance to show off.
Im not going to fight you for the credit, Li Xianghui said.
You deliver the medicine and leave a good impression on the leader. Besides, your training results are not bad. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be assigned to the sub-bureau. This will give you better prospects than being assigned to a local police station.
It doesnt matter to me. Im just trying to help you.
Thats a separate matter. 1 cant take advantage of this. Li Xianghui said.
Theyre in Room 607 of the Fourth Inpatient Department. The leader happens to be keeping watch there right now. Just hand it over to him. Ill give you a phone numberter, and you can contact him once youre there.
Alright then.
After handling the business, Lin Yi hung up the phone and bought Li Chuhan fried buns and squid.
Is there anything else you want to eat?
Li Chuhan shook her head, Mainly because Im a bit hungry after being on duty until now, otherwise just strolling around here would have been fine.
Wandering around the night market without eating something is so meaningless, it loses the essence of visiting the night market.
Li Chuhan smiled, Youre right.
Am 1 always right with you?
Yes.
Silly.
Li Chuhan was not a foodie and was not particr about food at all.
However, when she saw the trinkets, she could not help but buy a few.
However, the most expensive one did not cost more than 20 yuan.
After shopping for more than an hour, Li Chuhan bought some food and prepared to bring it back for Qiao Xin.
Where is your training location? Ill send you back, Li Chuhan asked after they got into the car.
Lets go back to the hospital first. 1 need to send the medicine over.
Stop messing around. Which department? Ill hand it over for you. Its gettingte. Go back and rest early.
I have to do this myself. Its not appropriate for you to go.
Li Chuhan was a person with a very poor understanding of the ways of the world.
She relied solely on her ability to get to where she was today, so she didnt think too much about this matter.
This was a gift to the leader, so Lin Yi naturally couldnt just hand it over to her.
Just like just now, Lin Yi wanted Li Xianghui to go over personally.
Alright, 111 listen to you.
After arriving at the hospital, the two of them parted ways at the entrance of the Fourth Inpatient Department.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around at night, the two of them even hugged each other quietly before separating.
It was past eleven oclock at night. There werent many people in the hospital.
However, in order to avoid being recognized, Lin Yi still wore a mask to avoid unnecessary trouble.
He entered the door and got into the elevator. When he reached the sixth floor, he walked towards Room 607.
Creak
When he passed Room 602, a man in ck walked out with a water bottle in his hand. He looked like he was going to get water.
However, when he saw the man, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. He felt that he looked familiar.
Then, he suddenly remembered that he had previously dealt with a person called Ma San, and the person who had juste out of the room seemed to be his subordinate!
When Lin Yi turned around to confirm this, he realized that the other party had walked into the water room and was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Yis eyes darted around, but he was not in a hurry.
The hospital was his territory. He could just call and check thister.
Soon, Lin Yi reached Room 607 and made a call.
Chief Liu, Inspector Li asked me to give you something. Im right outside Room 607.
Okay, okay, okay. Wait for me.
The person Lin Yi referred to as Director Liu is named Liu Guangxian, who is the second inmand at the sub-bureau.
Soon, the door of the ward was pushed open and Liu Guangxian walked out.
It must have been hard on you to make a trip sote at night.
Youre too kind. If theres nothing else, 111 take my leave first.
There are patients inside waiting for my care, so 1 wont see you out.
No need, no need, you go ahead.
After a brief exchange of courtesies, Lin Yi adjusted his mask and left.
When he walked out of the Fourth Inpatient Department, Lin Yi called Li Chuhan.
Is everything done?
Its done, but 1 want to ask you something.
Tell me.
Fourth Inpatient Department, Orthopedics Department Room 602. Help me find out who the patient inside is, but dont make this matter public. Just investigate it quietly.
Are you in a hurry?
Well investigate tomorrow. Take the chance to rest while you can.
Okay.
Lin Yi felt that his guess was probably right.
Ma San had lost one of his hands, and considering Huashan Hospital is the best in Zhonghai, its certain he woulde here first.
Unless something was wrong, the patient in Room 602 should be Ma San.
But it was still better to confirm.
After arranging everything, Lin Yi took a taxi back to the base and found a blind spot to jump back inside thepound.
Ring ring ring!
The next morning, the familiar bell rang.
Lin Yi and Zhang Peng got up one after another. After washing up, they went to the canteen to eat.
The two of them had just arrived at the canteen when they saw Gu Yiran walking out.
Have you packed your things?
This question stunned the others.
Pack what?
From today onwards, you wont have to train here anymore. Whats the point of acting stupid?
Its not up to you to decide if Im training here or not. Inspector Li hasnt even opened his mouth yet, so why are you attacking me?
Let me tell you, dont think you can do whatever you want just because you have a good rtionship with Inspector Li.
If you have what it takes, fire me.
Dont think that I dont dare. Gu Yiran said.
After breakfast, go back to the dormitory and pack your things. You dont have to go to the field..

Chapter 1657: Go and Find Him!
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Gu Yiran flipped her hair proudly and left.
Everyones gazended on Lin Yi.
Thew is long and narrow. Its not that I dont want to take revenge, it just wasnt time yet. Some people are finally going to be punished.
Zhou Xinghai gloated.
What happened? Why did she ask Brother Lin to pack his things?
Zhang Zixin came over and asked.
Zhang Peng was also a little nervous as he asked softly,
Brother Lin, did the matterst night get exposed?
You dont have to worry about this. She will beg me toe back.
Lin Yi didnt panic at all. He was working for Liu Guangxian, so how could she fire him?
This was the equivalent of spouting nonsense.
Then what should we do now? Are you going to continue eating?
Of course I have to eat. I cant miss such a sumptuous breakfast.
Thats right. Eat moreter. This is yourst meal. You wont be able to eat it in the future even if you want to, Zhou Xinghai said.
Lin Yi ignored Zhou Xinghai and went to the cafeteria with Zhang Peng.
Putting everything else aside, he had to have his breakfast first.
At the same time, Gu Yiran arrived at Liu Guangxians office and found that the door was locked.
After waiting for a while, she realized that no one hade in yet, so she went to the field and prepared toe backter.
Without Lin Yi, the people on the field moved about freely. When they saw Gu Yiraning over, they automatically stood in formation.
Gu Yiran felt much better today, as if the sky had turned blue.
Is Inspector Li not here yet? Gu Yiran asked.
Not yet, Zhou Xinghai said.
Gu Yiran looked at Zhou Xinghai and said, Lin Yi is gone. You take over his position and organize the team.
Yes, Instructor Gu!
Gu Yiran nodded. Lets do some warm-up exercises first. Well start training when Inspector Li arrives.
As the saying goes, a cheap person will be punished by the heavens. These words are really true. Hes so arrogant and constantly goes against Instructor Gu. This is the oue, Ding Chao said.
If you dont speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Zhang Peng said.
If youre so awesome, go and run five kilometers. Whats the use of being so arrogant?
You can say whatever you want. It wont affect me. Ding Peng said.
But its funny when you think about it. To boldly im that Instructor Gu would beg him toe back, without even taking a moment to reflect on his own behavior. The audacity to say such things.
Looking at Ding Chao, Zhang Zixin rolled her eyes several times. If she could, she would have kicked him.
At the same time, Li Xianghui and Liu Guangxian walked towards the training ground.
Little Li, this is all thanks to you. If not for you, my mother-inw might have suffered a lotst night.
I have to thank Lin Yi for this. He has connections in this area, and he helped me out. I didnt do anything.
But he didnt mention anything of the sortst night. I thought you were busy with work and sent him over.
Maybe he was too nervous to say anything else when he saw you, but he was the one who got the medicine.
The young man is not bad. He ran over to deliver medicine to me in the middle of the night. Hes a diligent person.
Indeed, he is. His training results are also quite good. I was wondering if I should keep him.
Whether you stay or not is up to you. I wont interfere.
Liu Guangxian was a smart person. Both of them are well aware of many things, understanding the meaning of each others words without explicitly stating them. After all, the words would lose their significance when said out loud.
Thank you, Chief Liu, Li Xianghui said.
Lin Yi really is skilled, but its a pity he hasnt undergone systematic training before. However, I believe he will only get better in the future.
Its been a long time since Ive seen you praise someone like this. I reckon his level is not bad. Bring me over to take a look.
Theyre just up ahead. Lets go.
In less than a minute, the two of them reached the front of the team.
Chief Liu, Inspector Li.
Liu Guangxian nodded in response.
Seeing that the big shot had arrived, everyone held their heads high and straightened their backs.
Liu Guangxians gaze swept across everyone, but he didnt see Lin Yi. He looked at Li Xianghui in confusion.
Li Xianghui was a little puzzled. Although Lin Yi was a little mischievous, he still followed the rules.
Even if something had happened, he would have informed him in advance. He would not just miss training.
Where did Lin Yi go? Li Xianghui asked.
He vited our rules and left the training base without permission. ording to the relevant regtions, Ive already dismissed him.
Nonsense! Li Xianghui said.
Didnt I tell you? He was with mest night. How could he leave without permission?
Liu Guangxian quickly understood the situation.
Gu Yiran probably found out that Lin Yi was not in the dormitory when he delivered the medicine to him that night.
However, Little Lis reaction was quite fast. He even made a fake certificate for him, which technically didnt break any rules. Otherwise, it would be bad if the other trainees found out about it.
Inspector Li, I really saw himst night.
Then, Gu Yiran took out the photos.
Take a look if you dont believe me.
Theres no need to look.
The person who spoke was Liu Guangxian. I can testify that the three of us were together yesterday. Lin Yi couldnt have left the base.
Huh?
Gu Yiran was stunned. It was still okay if Inspector Li said this, but she didnt expect Chief Liu to say the same.
She had already saw him, so how could the three of them be together?
But Ive already photographed him and
The person in the photo does look a little like him, but its definitely not him, Liu Guangxian said.
If you insist, does that mean Im lying?
No, no, no, I didnt mean that. Gu Yiran exined quickly.
She was trained by Li Xianghui. The two of them had a good rtionship, so she dared to act unrestrained with him. However, she could not do so in front of Liu Guangxian.
Little Gu, youre a veteran of the bureau. You actually did such a thing without any substantial evidence. You wronged a good prospect. Do you think youre right?!
No, this is my fault.
Gu Yiran could only suffer in silence.
She had already caught him, so why were Chief Liu and Inspector Li both speaking up for him?
What was going on?
I wont say anything else. Hurry up and find him!
Got it, Chief Liu.
Liu Guangxian turned around and left. He was also afraid of being exposed, and this matter could not be made too public. Thus, he could only wrong her.
Go look for them first. Ill train the trainees here, Li Xianghui said calmly.
He also felt sorry for Gu Yiran, but he had no choice.
Sigh, she had fallen into Lin Yis hands again.
Gu Yiran nodded reluctantly, feeling embarrassed and aggrieved.
She was the one who chased him away, but now she had to look for him again.
This was bullying was too much..

Seeing the group turn around and leave, everyone in the team stared at each other, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
They all thought that Lin Yi would leave just like that, but unexpectedly, the higher-ups came here and actually instructed Instructor Gu to personally bring him back!
She really did as he said.
Wasnt this too dramatic?
Sigh, some people still want to use this opportunity to climb up the ranks.
What a joke. Zhang Zixin gloated.
You still want to fight against Brother Lin? Do you think you have the ability to do so? Zhang Peng said in a weird tone.
You motherfucker
What are you doing! Li Xianghui shouted. Do you think this is your home?
Youre disorganized and undisciplined. All of you, jog five kilometers!
Yes!
Everyone automatically went onto the track and began thest day of training.
At the same time, Gu Yiran went to the dormitory to look for Lin Yi.
However, she realized that Lin Yi was not there.
Could he have left?
Muttering to himself, Gu Yiran took out her phone and was about to call Lin Yi.
But just as she got up, she put down her phone again.
Before he left, Lin Yi said that she would beg him toe back. Now, she was really doing as he said.
If she really made this call, wouldnt it signify her absolute defeat?
However, the leader had already given the order. She had no choice but to persevere.
Where are you? Gu Yiran said after making the call.
You wanted to see me?
Yes. Gu Yiran said reluctantly.
Im in the third stall of the mens restroom. Come find me, and bring some toilet paper while youre at it.
Mens restroom!
Gu Yiran was taken aback, I can hear the honking outside, and youre telling me youre in the mens restroom!
Just because Im in the mens restroom doesnt mean you cant hear the honking, Lin Yi said.
If theres nothing else, Im going to hang up now. If you want to find me,e over.
Lin Yi hung up without giving Gu Yiran a chance to speak.
At the entrance of Huashan Hospital, Lin Yi got out of the taxi and prepared to look for Li Chuhan. He also bought her some breakfast.
Ring ring ring!
As soon as she got out of the car, his phone rang again. It was Gu Yiran.
Anything else?
Where the hell are you?!
I dont know either. Lin Yi said.
Zhonghai is too big. Im a little lost.
Dont talk nonsense with me. You are from Zhonghai, how could you get lost?! Gu Yiran raised her voice, Even if you get lost, cant you ask the people around you for directions?
Theres no one around me Xiaomi, who the hell buys Xiaomi
Lin Yi,
Hearing the shouting on the phone, Gu Yiran had the urge to strangle Lin Yi.
Do you think Im an idiot?!
Yes, 1 do.
Gu Yiran,
Alright, cut the crap. Why are you looking for me?
Come back for training!
Didnt you chase me away? Now youre asking me toe back. How embarrassing.
Dont talk nonsense with me! Gu Yiran said, Come back for training.
If I have to go back just because you tell me to, arent I just embarrassing myself? Lin Yi said, Apologize.
What happened just now was my fault. 1 shouldnt have targeted you. Come back quickly.
Gu Yirans straightforwardness didnt work on Lin Yi.
This apology was too fast. He had yet to react.
Later. Its thest day anyway. 111e back after Im done rxing outside. Today we have firearms training, which is more important than the other subjects. If you donte back to train, youll definitely rank at the bottom.
Do you not care about your performance?
It doesnt matter to me. Its just for show. There arent many opportunities to fire a gun anyway. Whether I train or not doesnt really matter. 111 go back after Ive enjoyed myself.
You!
Lin Yi hung up without giving Gu Yiran a chance to speak.
He carried the breakfast he bought and walked straight to the Eighth Inpatient Department.
Coming and going, he encountered many leaders of the hospital, all of whom greeted him, not acting unfamiliar at all.
Director Lin is here!
When he arrived at the Eighth Inpatient Department, the young nurse with a C-cup said.
At the same time, the other nurses also surrounded him.
I had nothing to do, so 1 came over to visit.
Director Lin, youre too much. You only bought breakfast for Director Li. We dont even get a share.
Dont worry, therell be plenty of food for you. Ive ordered something else for you. The takeaway will be here soon.
Thank you, Director Lin. Muah, 1 love you.
At this moment, Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin walked out of the ward, apanied by a few housemen. It was obvious that they had just returned from their ward rounds.
Brother Lin.
Seeing Lin Yi, Qiao Xin came up with a smile. Did you speciallye to deliver breakfast to us?
Lin Yi smiled and nodded. You should be done with your ward rounds. Come and have your breakfast.
Alright, Im starving. Qiao Xin took the things from Lin Yi. Let me see what delicious food you bought.
As they chatted andughed, the three of them entered Li Chuhans resting room.
The housemen behind him were stunned and asked the young nurse curiously,
Is that man Director Lis boyfriend? Hes so handsome.
Thats for sure. Theyre a good match.
Theyre a perfect match. I really want to have a boyfriend who will bring me breakfast.
Dont even think about having a boyfriend like Director Lin. Theres only one like him in the world, and hes been taken by Director Li.
Director Lin? a resident female doctor asked.
Is Director Lis boyfriend also from our hospital? He seems even younger than Director Li.
In their eyes, Li Chuhan being so young and bing a director at Huashan Hospital was seen as a once-in-a-century genius.
Could there be someone even more talented than Director Li?
Actually, Director Lin was also in the cardiology department but resigned, the nurse said.
But theres something I need to remind you about. Director Lin is extremely impressive. With just a word from him, even the head of the hospital has to obediently listen. When youre with Director Li, make sure you listen and behave.
It cant be. Is he that powerful?
Of course. Even though he left, his influence never waned.
Then should we curry favor with them? Maybe we can stay in Huashan Hospital in the future.
Its impossible to curry favor with him. Director Lin is only interested in girls bigger than D-cup. All of you should wash your faces and stop dreaming.
In Li Chuhans lounge, Qiao Xin ced everything Lin Yi had bought on the dining table, preparing to have a full meal.
Such an expensive breakfast was not something she had the chance to enjoy often, so today was a treat.
Xinxin, do you find the rooms light a bit ring? Lin Yi asked.
ring? 1 havent noticed, Qiao Xin replied, taking a sip of lobster porridge. But 1 can draw the curtains for you.
Im not talking about the sunlight being ring, but thempost.
Lampost is ring Qiao Xin had half a lobster in her mouth as she looked at Lin Yi aggrievedly.
Brother Lin, are you saying Im a third wheel here?

Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
As expected of a PhD student from Fudan University. How smart.
Boohoo Im just having breakfast. Is there a need to show off like this?
Alright, stop teasing her, Li Chuhan said.
I cant check what you asked me to check yesterday from myputer. Ill have to go to the administrative department. Ill be able to find out soon enough.
Do it at your own pace. Theres no hurry.
With Lin Yi and Li Chuhans status in Huashan Hospital, they could find out about such a small matter in minutes.
But Lin Yi didnt want to make it too public, so acted more conservatively.
Yeah, sure.
Brother Lin, whatever you need to look up, 1 can help you with that. Just eating and not working makes me feel like an unproductive third wheel, Qiao Xin said.
Thats true, Lin Yi responded.
Help me check the patient in Orthopedics, Room 602 of the Fourth Inpatient Department. See what their name is and look up their specific information.
Alright, Ill go now.
Theres no hurry. Just go after eating.
Its fine. Ill eat when i get back. Qiao Xin took the buns and left the room, not caring about her image at all.
Did the higher-ups give you any trouble when you went backst night?
I came out to help the chief. Why would they reprimand me?
Thats good.
Today is thest day of training, and after its over, well be officially employed. Both of us will be people in uniform then.
Mhm, I think youll look great in a police uniform.
You in a white coat look just as good. We make a perfect match.
Li Chuhan smiled and peeled an herbal egg for Lin Yi, thinking of how considerate he was.
The two of them ate their breakfast slowly and chatted about interesting things going on in the hospital.
They discussed a patient who had just suffered a heart attack was pushed out of the operating room.
His daughter, unaware of the situation and wanting to charge her phone, unplugged the respirator.
No sooner had he been pushed out of the operating room than, within half an hour, he was pushed back into the ICU. It was truly pitiful.
Half an hourter, Qiao Xin returned to the lounge.
Brother Lin, Ive found out the details for you. The person who is in Room 602 of the Orthopedics Department is called Ma Jialiang. Hes from Shianggang, but hes probably a hooligan. One of his hands was chopped off and his leg was broken. Hes in quite a bad state.
To a surgeon, a missing arm or leg was nothing. When Qiao Xin narrated it, she did not feel any difort.
After hearing Qiao Xins description, Lin Yi confirmed the other partys identity. It was undoubtedly Ma San.
He felt that this matter was quite interesting. This guy actually fell into his hands again.
What is the Orthopedics Department n? Does this person still have any nned surgeries?
His leg is broken. Theyll have to put in a steel teter.
Why didnt they operate on it before?
Isnt it because he lost a hand? At that time, they were afraid that his blood pressure was too high to control, so they opted for conservative treatment, Qiao Xin said.
Now the wound on his hand is no longer an issue. They say the day after tomorrow, they will operate on his leg and then insert a steel te.
Understood. Lin Yi said.
Keep an eye on this Ma Jialiang. Call me in advance before the steel te will be removed.
No problem, leave it to me. But youre so concerned about him, do you know this person? Qiao Xin asked.
What else do you want to know? Ill help you find out.
This is enough. Dont make a big deal out of this. Its not good if too many people find out about this.
Youre looking down on me by saying that. After all, Ive been a fan of Conan for more than ten years. I can easily secretly investigate and collect evidence for you.
With your level of expertise, it would be a waste if you didnt be a police officer.
Oh right, i remember now. Sister Li said that youve be a police officer. If you have any unsolvable cases in the future, you can call me. 1 can also be the woman behind you.
Lets forget about it. Im afraid youll end up sticking needles in my neck.
Hahaha, dont worry, Ill be gentle.
After breakfast, the two of them cleaned up briefly. They had worked the night shift yesterday and were preparing to go back to sleep.
Lin Yi stretched his body and prepared to go back with Li Chuhan to discuss biology.
Lin Yi drove Qiao Xin back first, then returned home with Li Chuhan.
Im going to take a shower first, Li Chuhan whispered.
Go on, go on, clean up.
Li Chuhans face turned red. She took a change of underwear and went into the bathroom.
Lin Yi went to her study and looked at the rows of medical books. His head hurt; he didnt know how she read them.
Ring ring ring!
Just then, Lin Yis phone rang. It was a call from Mo Hongshan.
Brother Shan.
Theres a situation surrounding President Ji. If its convenient,e over.
What happened? Two people wanted to ssh paint on her car, but we caught them in advance. Theyre being detained in the security area.
Iming over now.
After hanging up, Lin Yi calmed down and didnt panic too much.
Back when he first joined the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi and Lu Beichen had already arranged measures to prevent any attacks from certain ruthless individuals.
He had nted people around Lin Yis important family members to follow and protect them.
Because he was familiar with Mo Hongshan, these matters were handed over to him to handle.
Things had been peaceful for a long time without any idents, so Lin Yi was a little rxed. He didnt expect something to happen today.
Lin Yi came out of the study and went to the bathroom door.
I have something to do, so I have to leave first. I wont apany you anymore.
The sound of running water in the bathroom stopped abruptly.
Li Chuhan walked out with a towel wrapped around her.
Be careful on the road. If its convenient for youter, give me a call.
Li Chuhan was always gentle and wouldnt ask too much about Lin Yi, as long as he was safe.
Lin Yi nodded and kissed Li Chuhans forehead.
I have to go. Ill call youter.
Be careful driving.
After leaving Li Chuhans house, Lin Yi drove to Zhonghais security area.
When he reached the entrance, he showed his identification card and walked in unimpeded.
Soon, Lin Yi found Mo Hongshan.
Brother Shan, what exactly happened?
Dont panic. President Ji is fine. Shes not affected, and she doesnt even know that something happened here.
Mo Hongshan knew how important Ji Qingyan was to Lin Yi, so he was the first to tell him about her condition.
Lin Yi nodded, Where are they?
Follow me.
Led by Mo Hongshan, the two arrived at the warehouse in the security area.
The warehouse was filled with many stored materials, mostly food ingredients, without anything particrly special.
Tied up at a position near the window on the inside were two individuals, dressed very ordinarily, with their hands and feet bound and eyes covered. This scene was no different from what one might see in a movie.
Brother Shan, its professional work on your part. If it were me, I definitely wouldnt tie them up to this extent, Lin Yi said with a grin.
If it were you, i reckon these two would already be in the ICU from a beating.
Chapter 1660 - 1660: Threatening Lin Yi
Chapter 1660: Threatening Lin Yi
Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Dont make it sound like Im so violent.
Mo Hongshanughed and pointed at the two people on the ground.
Weve already caught them. I dont care what you do with them. Do as you see fit.
Sure thing.
After Mo Hongshan left, Lin Yi removed their blindfolds.
The two of them narrowed their eyes. They were still not used to the light in the warehouse.
However, when they saw Lin Yi, they did not show much fear.
One of the short-haired men looked at Lin Yi and said,
Who are you? Why are you arresting us?!
Lin Yi didnt waste any time and kicked him. He rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.
You were trying to fucking paint my girlfriends car and youre asking me who I am?
The short-haired man shook his head, clearly stunned by Lin Yis attack.
He had never seen such a scene in Shianggang.
Did Ma San ask you to do this? Lin Yi said.
We dont know who youre talking about. We just dont like that woman, so we wanted to teach her a lesson.
F*ck! Lin Yi went up and kicked him again, With that f*cking Shianggang ent of yours, you still dare to tell me that you dont know Ma San? Do you think Im f*cking stupid?
The two of them looked at Lin Yi coldly and didnt say anything.
The truth was clear to see. It was useless to say anything else.
Ten minutester, Lin Yi dusted himself off and walked out of the warehouse.
At the entrance of the warehouse, Mo Hongshan was chatting with two guards.
Seeing Lin Yie out, Mo Hongshan walked up to him.
Hows the situation?
Its alright. We might be able to revive them if we send them to the ICU.
Kid, youre really something.
Lin Yi chuckled. Ill leave this mess to you. You can do whatever you want with them. Just dont let them go.
Its a small matter. Go ahead.
Fourth Inpatient Department, Orthopedics Department, Room 602.
Li Huaxing sat by the bed and said,
Hows the situation here?
Weve been following that woman for a few days and realized that she was alone the entire time. The man wasnt around. Ive already given the order. When we find an opportunity, well scare her.
Yes, deal with it as soon as possible. That man is extraordinary. Do something while hes not around. But do it cleanly and dont let anyone catch you.
Mr. Li, dont worry. The people Ive sent this time were all transferred from Shianggang. Theyre much more capable than those unreliable hooligans, Ma San said.
We checked. Hes the president of Lingyun Group, but he doesnt really care about thepanys matters. Thepanys matters are handled by the subordinates.
Lingyun Group, Ma San muttered.
I know a little about thispany. I heard that they developed a photolithography machine and are quite famous.
Theyre indeed extraordinary, but theyre still a little inferior to our Huanghai Group. However, this is the maind. We dont have that much of an advantage here, so we have to be more cautious.
I understand.
At that moment, Ma Sans phone rang.
He picked it up and looked at it. It was an unknown number.
You are?
Im Lin Yi. I low does it feel to have one of your hands crippled?
Ma San was surprised to receive Lin Yis call. A bad feeling arose in his heart.
Why are you calling me?
I feel that youre a little bold. You actually dared toe and cause more trouble. Its quite unexpected.
Ma San did not respond immediately.
As expected, he had miscalcted.
The person he sent must have been caught. Otherwise, Lin Yi would never have obtained his phone number.
Youre the best. I, Ma San, am convinced.
Ive said it before. If you dare to cause trouble again, Ill definitely not let you off. You still remember what I said, right?
Hehe, so what if I remember? Do you think Im afraid of you?
Ma San was fearless.
The two people he had sent over were transferred over from Shianggang.
Although Lin Yi had his contact information, he did not know that he was here.
Even if he wanted to take revenge, he didnt know where he was.
Moreover, this was a hospital and a public ce. As a public venue, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldnt dare to cause trouble here.
Well see. Just dont regret it.
Hehe, I, Ma San, will wait for you. I wont lose to the same person twice. When we meet again, I definitely wont let you escape unscathed.
Then Im looking forward to it. Lets see who will win this time.
Ill wait for you.
Ma San did not say much and hung up the phone, but his expression was not good.
His careful n had failed again. It was a blow to him.
Who called? What did they tell you? Why do you look so pale?
Its Lin Yi. The two people I arranged were caught by him again.
After a long silence, Li Huaxing said,
Weve underestimated this person. Lets not do anything else for now. We have to think of a way to deal with him first. Otherwise, our business in the maind wont be able to develop.
Ma San nodded, Thats what I was thinking too. He has a big reputation in Zhonghai, which will pose a significant obstacle to our expansion into the maind. Dealing with him is inevitable.
What are you going to do about this?
We cant touch him for the time being, Ma San said.
My situation here has stabilized. After the surgery on my leg the day after, Ill return to Shianggang. Thats our base camp. Itll be more convenient for me to act remotely, and its much safer.
Well do as you say, but it has to be clean.
Dont worry, President Li. Ill handle this matter.
After leaving the police station, Lin Yi thought for a moment and decided not to go to Ji Qingyans ce.
She had been kept in the dark about this matter and knew nothing. Still, there was no need for her to know anything. Otherwise, she would definitely be afraid.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi took a taxi to Li Chuhans ce.
Quietly, Lin Yi opened the door and found that it was quiet inside. He walked in and saw that Li Chuhan had already fallen asleep.
Lin Yi quietly took off his clothes and crawled into Li Chuhans bed.
Realizing that there was someone beside her, Li Chuhan suddenly opened her eyes like a frightened deer.
When she realized that it was Lin Yi, she patted her chest, clearly frightened.
Why didnt you tell me you wereing back?
I wanted to surprise you. How is it? Are you surprised?
You almost scared me to death, Li Chuhan said coquettishly.
Come on, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold coins. Now go to sleep.
Li Chuhan smiled at Lin Yi.
But its daytime.
Such things dont differentiate between day and night, and with the weather being so good, it would be a pity not to do something

Chapter 1661: Its Useless Even If He Comes
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
By the time the battle ended, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Do you have anything elseter? Li Chuhan asked.
I have to go back and continue training, or Ill really be dismissed.
Li Chuhan got out of bed and helped Lin Yi find his clothes.
You must be hungry. Lets go downstairs and eat something.
I wont eat. Im afraid Ill fall asleep while eating.
Lin Yi pped his forehead.
I forgot about your night shift yesterday.
Its okay. I can still hold on.
If you say that, Ill have to work even harder next time.
You have to take care of your health too. Health is not unlimited. You cant mess around.
Got it.
Lin Yi smiled and kissed Li Chuhan on the forehead.
By the way, regarding Ma Jialiang from Orthopedics Department Room 602, you have to help me keep an eye on him. If theres any movement, let me know immediately.
Okay, got it.
Ill get going first.
Be careful on the road.
After leaving Li Chuhans house, Lin Yi took a taxi back to the base.
In the training base, gunshots were heard. More than 40 students were undergoing the final firearms training.
Although the training onlysted one day, to most people, it was just an intensive training session.
This was because more than 30 people had graduated from the police academy. They had done this kind of training when they were in school. However, at that time, they had only fired nks. There was no danger, unlike now, when they were using live ammunition.
Where did this kid go? He didnt even pick up the phone.
Li Xianghui frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety.
I have already called him and he said that he woulde back. If he cant make it to the final training and assessment, its his fault. He cant me me. Gu Yiran said.
Li Xianghui rambled on without saying anything.
In reality, this kind of thing wasnt a big deal. With one word from their chief, Lin Yi could be stationed anywhere.
However, the problem was that the final firearm training took up arge portion of the assessment.
If he did not take the exam, his final results would not be ideal.
Even if one performed well before this, if their overall score was at the bottom of the ss, they would be thest to be assigned work.
Forcibly keeping them in the sub-bureau would definitely arouseints from others, which would be a difficult situation to handle.
Teacher Wu is here.
Just as Li Xianghui was thinking about these things, a man with gray hair walked towards the two of them.
The mans name was Wu Dahn. He was an instructor who specialized in firearm instruction.
He was in his fifties, with a temper like a gun, quick to ignite and indiscriminate between men and women.
Just after one day of training, all forty-plus trainees were scolded by him.
Master, how are they? Li Xianghui asked with a smile.
Back then, when Li Xianghui came here, he was taught by Wu Dalin. Despite it being so many yearster, he continued to call him this honorific.
Lets not talk about it. Each person is worse than the other. After practicing for a day, the best one only hit 86 points. Im too embarrassed to say that I taught these people.
The two of them pursed their lips. Neither of them dared to say anything.
For them, a score of 86 points was not considered poor. Given the different nature of their work, it did not demand such high shooting skills.
Moreover, considering the public security situation in Huaxia, opportunities to draw a gun were very rare. Even if they wereter assigned to the criminal investigation team, they would have more chances to practice.
Therefore, a score of 86 points was still eptable.
Calm down. Youre already so old. Dont get sick from anger.
It doesnt matter anymore. If that temper could change, he wouldnt have gone grey in his fifties.
The main thing is you, you cant apply your own standards to them. They are just a group of rookies straight out of school, while youve served in the special forces and are a renowned sharpshooter. Who canpare to you? If anyone really had such skills, they wouldnt be here with us now.
Dont tter me. Even if I lower my standards, their performance still wouldnt be up to par. They didnt even score 90, so by my standards, they dont deserve to carry a gun.
Yes, yes, yes. Youre right.
Knowing that Wu Dalin had a bad temper, Li Xianghui kept trying to appease him. Ill make two side dishes tonight. Lets have a good drink.
That works, get some baijiu, that stuff is strong.
No problem.
Wu Dalin nced at his watch. In about ten minutes, itll be over. Let them practice on their own for a while. You guys keep an eye on the assessment, I wont follow anymore. Im leaving.
Master, wait a moment.
Whats wrong? Is there anything else?
Theres still one student who hasnt arrived yet. Can you wait a little longer?
There are still people who havent arrived? Isnt this a closed-door training? Where did they go?
He had something to do at home and took leave. He said hed be backter.
Can you wait for a while?
Since youve spoken, what else can I say? Lets wait a little longer.
Although Wu Dalin had a bad temper, he was also a reasonable person.
If it wasnt an emergency, the bureau wouldnt just give him leave either.
In addition, Li Xianghui was someone he had brought up. Their rtionship had been good all these years. Since he had pleaded for leniency, Wu Dalin naturally had to give him some face.
Thank you, Master.
But its useless for you to thank me. Even if hees, he wont have time to train. These children in front of us have already trained for a day. This guy will definitely be at a disadvantagepared to them. Wu Dalin said.
Unless he performed exceptionally well in the police academy, standing out significantly from others, with a bit of practice, his results shouldnt be too embarrassing.
That will depend on his luck.
Looking at your expression, something seems off. Could it be that he didnt graduate from a police academy? Is he a big white man?
Big white man was a discriminatory term of the industry.
It referred to an ordinary person without any experience C aplete novice.
Hes just a big white man. I dont think hes ever touched a gun before, Li Xianghui said with a smile.
What a waste. Tell him not to bother practicing. Its a waste of time.
Wu Dalin pointed to a few girls who were trying out from civilian life.
Youve seen their situation. They almost cry when firing a gun. If I werent older and more tempered, Id definitely have driven them out.
Theres still a difference between girls and boys; boys should at least be better than the girls.
Dont say that. Among novices, there are also boys, Li Xianghui said.
Stop, stop, stop, dont even mention that boy. Hell be even worse than those girls, Wu Dalin said.
If you ask me, dont waste my time. Even if hees, his results will be at the bottom. Its useless to train him. Ill be leaving.
No, no, no. Master, wait a little longer. Give him a chance.
I can give him a chance, but its already sote. Why isnt he back yet? Does he have any sense of time?
Li Xianghui looked troubled because his master was telling the truth.
At this moment, the door of the shooting range was pushed open. Gu Yiran said,
Hes here..

Chapter 1662: Competition
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Hearing Gu Yirans words, Li Xianghui followed her gaze and saw Lin Yi walking towards him casually.
Hurry up. What are you dawdling for?
Rx. 1 just finished my meal. My stomach is still bloated.
Wu Dalin nced at Lin Yi.
He doesnt look like he had anything to do at home.
Who said something happened at home? Lin Yi said.
Didnt you take leave?
Lin Yi paused for a few seconds, then understood what was going on.
I did take leave. 1 went out for a date and took some time off beforeing back.
What are you talking about?
Li Xianghui gritted his teeth and wanted to kick Lin Yi.
Dont you all know that I went out? Besides, there are no outsiders here. Whats there to be afraid of?
Li Xianghui squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. Do you know who he is?!
Him? Was he on night shift?
Li Xianghui,
Gu Yiran,
Haha
After finishing their training, Zhou Xinghai and the othersughed out loud.
Lin Yi, if youre sick, go to the hospital. Dont spout nonsense here. Hes Instructor Wu, who teaches firearms. How dare you say that hes a night watchman? Do you want to die?
Um
Lin Yis expression was slightly awkward. Im really sorry, I made a mistake.
Wu Dalins expression kept changing, and Li Xianghui was terrified.
He felt that his teacher was about to die from anger.
1 cant believe youre asking me to stay and train people like this!
Master, dont misunderstand. Lin Yi is a little informal, but hes very talented. If we let him go, we will be the ones to lose out.
I really cant tell whats so special about him. Wu Dalin said.
Anyway, my teaching mission for today is over. You can take the exam now.
Teacher, dont be like this. Dont you have any leeway?
A person like him is not worthy of my teaching!
But
Stop, stop, stop. Lin Yi said.
Inspector Li, whats going on? Im just here to take the exam. What does it have to do with this old man?
Hes the instructor in charge of firearm training. How are you going to take the exam if you dont learn first?
Dont you have the right to take the exam even if you dont go to ss?
Sure, but youre a novice and you havent even been trained for this. How do you want to take the exam?
And here i was thinking it was a big deal. Lin Yi said.
Just let me take the exam. 1 feel that my standard is alright. 1 should have no problem handling an assessment of this level.
Haha
Everyoneughed out loud, as if mocking Lin Yi for overestimating himself.
Brother Lin, stop talking.
Zhang Peng stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yis arm.
Among us, the one with the highest level is Zhou Xinghai. He trained in the police academy before and even practiced for the whole day. In the end, he only got 86 points. You were gone for the whole day and didnt practice at all. You definitely cant take the exam right away.
He only hit 86 points after practicing for a day. His level is too poor.
Zhou Xinghai crossed his arms in front of his chest. Youre someone who hasnt even touched a gun, and youre actually mocking me? Dont you find this funny?
How do you know Ive never touched a gun?
Everyones gazended on Lin Yi.
Especially Li Xianghui. If Lin Yi had experience in this area, his results would be better.
Have you tried shooting before? Zhou Xinghai asked.
Ive tried it before, Lin Yi said.
Previously, I shot balloons in the park and hit every single one of them. I made the boss cry.
Balloons? Haha
Zhou Xinghai clutched his stomach and bent over inughter.
If he had practiced shooting before, he wouldnt have said anything. What was he thinking by flexing his balloon-shooting results?
Lin Yi, can you stop teasing me? Do you think a balloon game canpare to this?
Whats the issue? Theres not much difference, right?
Come,e,e. Give it a try. 1 dont ask for much. As long as you can hit 30 points, Ill be convinced.
Alright, stop fooling around. Li Xianghui said, Be serious.
Why do you care? Wu Dalin said.
Its time for the assessment anyway. Let him go up first.
I dont think thats a good idea. He doesnt have any experience at all. He definitely wont get a good result.
Li Xianghuis idea was very simple. He wanted Lin Yi to best.
This way, he could see how others operated and improve his final result.
If he was the first to go up, he would stand no chance at all.
Not to mention hitting 30 points, he would be lucky not to miss the target.
Why do you say he is inexperienced? Wu Dalin said.
Didnt he y shoot balloons in the park? He even boasted that theres not much difference between the two. 1 want to see his level today.
Gu Yiran was a little proud. He couldnt deal with Lin Yi, but Teacher Wu could.
Didnt i just ask for leave to go on a date? Do you have to keep targeting me, old man? Lin Yiined.
Targeting you?
Wu Dalins anger rose.
Theres something wrong with your attitude. How can you me me for criticizing you?
Im here to participate in training. Im definitely confident. 1 cant joke about my job.
Its really amusing. Ive been handling guns for so many years, yet assionally still need to practice, and here you are, someone whos never touched a gun, making such a statement. Do you think youre better than me?
Thats hard to say, but its not impossible either. How does that motivational saying go? The universe is uncertain, and anybody could be a hidden master, right?
Li Xianghui,
Gu Yiran,
Was he mentally ill?
He could even say such a thing?
I cant take it anymore. Help me up. Im dying ofughter.
Other than Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin, who were close to Lin Yi, the rest of the people burst intoughter.
During the training during the day, they had witnessed how terrifying Instructor Wu was.
He was already in his fifties, yet he had a terrifying score of 96 points. Lin Yi actually said that he was better than him. They really didnt know if there was something wrong with his brain.
Brother Lin, hurry up and humble yourself. Dont embarrass yourself.
Zhang Peng pulled Lin Yi back and apologized to Wu Dalin with a smile.
Instructor Wu, please calm down and dont stoop to his level. His head got caught in a doorst night, and he hasnte back to his senses yet today. Please dont take it seriously.
No, no, no. Its been so many years, but Ive never seen a young man who dares to provoke me.
Wu Dalin looked at Lin Yi and examined him.
Didnt you just say that your marksmanship is better than mine? Lets practice now. Ill give you ten points. As long as the gap between you and me doesnt exceed ten points, 111 consider you the winner. Ill give you full marks for the final assessment.. Do you dare?

Chapter 1663: Its Not a Problem to Beat Him
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Seeing Wu Dalins serious expression, Li Xianghui quickly walked over.
Master, hes just a student. With your status, theres no need to take him seriously.
Im not taking him seriously. He is the one who is unconvinced. Wu Dalin said.
Dont you agree, young man?
Its not that I want topete with you. Its just that you keep targeting me.
Theres nothing I can do about it.
Theres something wrong with your attitude, and youre ming me? Lin Yi said.
Its about time we stop the chit-chat. Lets see if its a mule or a horse by taking it out for a stroll. Since we have all the equipment ready, lets get to practicing.
Li Xianghui was furious. Wasnt this kid too confident?!
He really thought that Wu Dalin was Gu Yiran!
Stop talking!
Li Xianghui pulled Lin Yi to the side and whispered,
Let me tell you, Master Wu used to be a sharpshooter in the special forces.
Dont dismiss him because hes retired now. His marksmanship is nothing to scoff at. Dont go looking for trouble. If youre too confident, youre going to learn things the hard way.
From what youre saying, hes really something.
Not just impressive, but very impressive, Li Xianghui said.
Hurry up and apologize to Master Wu. Theres still room to smooth things over. Otherwise, youll really be out of options.
Words once spoken, like water poured out, cant be taken back. After all, were men of our word. At this point, apologizing to him would be too embarrassing for me.
Dont tell me you want to fail! Li Xianghui said resentfully.
Even if the leaders and I want to take care of you, your scores have to be somewhat decent. If your overall performance is at the bottom, trying to favor you would invite gossip and make it difficult to justify.
Although I didnt participate in the daytime training, it doesnt prove that my performance will ultimately be the worst. 1 do have some experience, so lets just give it a try and see.
What should I even say to you?
Then theres no need to say anything. Lets just wait and see. 1 feel confident in my technique and should be able to achieve a good result.
Li Xianghui shook his head helplessly. He had already said so much, but Lin Yi still insisted on his own thoughts. There was nothing he could do.
Lin Yi looked at Wu Dalin. Lets start now.
Everything is ready. If youre ready, head on over. Wu Dalin said.
I dont want you to feel pressured after Im done and im that it will affect your performance.
No, its better if you go first, Lin Yi said, Im afraid youll be stressed after 1 finish.
F*ck, what kind of words are those?! He actually said that he could pressure Instructor Wu. Is that even humannguage? Zhou Xinghai said.
I think hes just running away. Hell drag it out as long as he can, Ding Chao said.
Whats the use of dragging it out? The final oue will still be the same. Zhou Xinghai said.
With his level, Instructor Wu can easily beat him by 50 points, let alone 10 points.
I agree with that. Ding Chao said.
And the assessment includes disassembling and assembling the firearm. If he cant even pass that part, he probably wont even qualify to fire a gun.
Theres actually a disassembling and assembling segment?
Lin Yi was a little surprised. It was quite realistic.
Its fine. You dont have to participate in the disassembling and assembling segment. As long as the gap between the two of us is within 10, Ill give you full marks.
Dont worry about me. Lets be fair. Otherwise, 1 wont feel a sense of aplishment even if I win.
What the f*ck?! Zhang Peng eximed. Brother Lin, are you crazy? Thats a real gun. Youre a big white man. Are you sure you know how to assemble this thing?
Ive never done it before, but 1 dont think itll be difficult.
Zhang Peng pped his forehead, feeling that Lin Yi was hopeless.
Gu Yiran also frowned. What was this guy thinking?
A novice actually dared to say such arrogant words?
Not bad! Its been a long time since Ive seen such an interesting young man like you.
Wu Dalin was so angry that heughed. If 1 dont show you my skills today, youll probably think that Im an old man.
Then lets begin. Let me see how good you are.
Wu Dalin snorted coldly. The others also surrounded him. This was an excellent opportunity to observe. They had to study hard.
Instructor Wu, let me check your watch, Zhou Xinghai said like ackey.
Ill go change the target paper, Ding Chao said.
A few minutester, seeing that Ding Chao was ready, Wu Dalin weighed the gun in his hand. 1 can start at anytime.
Zhou Xinghai nodded. 3, 2,1, begin!
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd heard a series of cracking sounds.
It only took a few seconds for an intact pistol to turn into a pile of parts in Wu Dalins hand!
Then, a few secondster, the pistol that had been turned into parts was reassembled by Wu Dalin at an extremely fast speed!
My God, 13 seconds!
Hearing this time, everyone eximed.
In the morning, when Instructor Wu demonstrated to us, I remember that the result was 14 seconds. I didnt expect him to improve by a whole second! This is too much!
Wu Dalins results amazed everyone present.
Even Li Xianghui was surprised. His best result was only 14 seconds. His master was really a veteran.
Gu Yiran looked at Lin Yi.
He was someone who had never touched a gun before, yet he still wanted topete with Teacher Wu. He was daydreaming!
She could not teach him a lesson, but today, someone finally taught him a lesson for her!
After seeing his timing, Wu Dalin was also very satisfied. Then, he aimed his gun at the target paper and pulled the trigger!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ten consecutive shots were fired!
Everyone was waiting for the final result!
Fourth Brother, how many points did the Wu Sect score? Zhou Xinghai asked.
Ding Chao looked at the target paper. 97 points!
Hearing this result, everyone was so surprised that they could not close their mouths!
In the morning, I remember that Instructor Wu got 96 points. I didnt expect him to hit 97 points now. The older he gets, the more terrifying he bes! Zhou Xinghai said.
Zhang Peng and the others looked at Lin Yi with helpless expressions.
With such a heaven-defying result, even Inspector Li might not be able to match him, let alone Brother Lin.
Wu Dalin put the gun on the table.
It was clear that he was very satisfied with his results.
Its your turn. Let me see what you can do.
Not so fast.
Lin Yi walked to the table and weighed the gun in his hand.
Zhang Peng, help me keep time.
Huh? Keep time?
Isnt there a timer for disassembling and assembling? You do it.
Brother Lin, lets stop fooling around. Youve never touched a gun before. Do you even know how to dismantle it?
Didnt he dismantle it just now? I watched just now and have almost finished
learning. I dont think I will struggle to beat him..

Chapter 1664: New Profession Can Be Activated
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis words provoked waves of ridicule.
Even the girls who were close to Lin Yi felt that he was a little too confident.
Brother Lin, I dont have anything else to say. I can time you, but you will have to rely on yourself for the rest.
Just keep track of the time. Dont worry about anything else.
Sure.
Im ready. Im going to start.
No problem.
Three, two, one, go!
Crack! Crack!
As soon as Zhang Peng finished speaking, Lin Yi disassembled the pistol at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Some of the absent-minded students did not even see how he did it before they realized that the guns had already been dismantled!
H-how is this possible?!
Li Xianghui and the others were shocked!
This speed was no slower than Master Wus!
Done!
Lin Yi ced the assembled gun on the table. Lets see how many seconds it took.
Stunned!
Everyone was stunned.
Although they did not know the results yet, they were certain that it would be within 15 seconds!
Even if he wasnt as fast as Instructor Wu, his speed was already heaven-defying!
Im asking you, how many seconds? Lin Yi asked.
10 seconds Zhang Peng answered nervously.
Ten seconds!
Everyone let out a cry of surprise. They felt terrible!
He was actually three seconds faster than Instructor Wu!
Gu Yiran widened her eyes and opened her mouth, feeling that the scene in front of her was unreal.
13 seconds was already terrifying enough!
Lin Yi had only used 10 seconds!
How could he be considered a novice?
Everyones gaze fell on Wu Dalin, and they noticed that his expression was abnormally ugly.
He had not expected such a result.
The results are not bad. It meets my expectations.
With that, Lin Yi pointed the gun in his hand at the target paper in front of him and fired ten shots without hesitation!
In just four seconds, he had fired ten shots. His speed was even faster than Wu Dalins!
What are you waiting for? Zhang Peng shouted at Ding Chao, How many points did he get?
10 points, the rest are off target! Ding Chao said loudly.
His assembling speed is just a little fast. In terms of shooting skills, hes far inferior to Instructor Wu!
After hearing Lin Yis results, Wu Dalin heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally regained his pride.
However, looking at the speed at which he assembled and disassembled, he could be considered to have some talent.
I dont think so. Take a closer look.
No matter how you look at it, its still 10 points. With your skills, you still want topete with Instructor Wu? 1 think youre dreaming.
Bring me the target paper, Li Xianghui said.
His instincts told him that Lin Yis level was definitely not low. It seemed unlikely that one of his shots could hit the ten point marker while he missed the remaining nine.
Ding Chao excitedly brought the target paper over and handed it to Li Xianghui.
However, when he saw the target paper, his expression became a little unnatural.
He immediately understood the truth.
Lin Yi, youve seen the target paper. Is there a need for others to say anything else? Even girls dont have nine missed shots. You still have the cheek to shout at Instructor Wu? What are you thinking?
Alright, stop talking. I admit defeat. Wu Dalin sighed.
Huh?
Everyone was confused. If you agreed to it, why are you saying you give up?
Instructor Wu, yourepeting in marksmanship. The results of disassembly and assembly cannot be counted here. You clearly won, so how can it be possible that you lost?
Thats not it. Wu Dalin said.
He didnt miss the target. Moreover, all ten bullets were fired through a single bullet hole. Therefore, his final score wasnt 10 points, but 100 points.
Hiss
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They felt their scalps turn cold as goosebumps rose all over their bodies.
A big white man had actually scored 100 points!
This was unbelievable!
Wow, Brother Lin is awesome! Zhang Pengughed.
Brother Lin, I didnt expect your skill level to be so high. Are you free tonight? Let me y with you, Zhang Zixin said.
Lin Yis fangirls surrounded him.
He was so handsome, and he was so skilled with firearms.
He was perfect.
At the same time, Li Xianghui and the other two looked at Lin Yi.
Their instincts told them that Lin Yi was definitely not a novice. He must have a lot of experience, or else he wouldnt have achieved such results!
Alright, be quiet. Li Xianghui said,
Now that Lin Yis test is over, its your turn. Line up and prepare to take the test.
Yes!
The students started preparing for the assessment, and Li Xianghui called Lin Yi to the side.
Kid, youve done this before, right?
Wu Dalin and Gu Yiran also looked at Lin Yi.
No one would believe that this was the first time he had touched a gun.
I often go to the shooting range to practice. After a while, I mastered some skills.
Lin Yis exnation made the three of them understand.
Assembling firearms was nothing special, but scoring 100 points definitely indicated talent.
Young man, Im not one who cant ept defeat. Indeed, the younger generation is to be feared. The sub-bureau has got someone promising, Wu Dalin said.
Youre too kind. Luck yed a part too.
Dont be modest, Wu Dalin patted Lin Yi on the shoulder. Keep it up, and youll definitely make it.
Thank you, Teacher Wu.
Lin Yi is not someone who fails to recognize kindness. Given such remarks, he naturally provided a way out.
In the subsequent assessment, Lin Yi joined the ranks of supervisors because of his outstanding results.
In less than half an hour, he hadpleted all the contents of the assessment. All that was left was the written test.
Although it was an exam, no one was nervous.
Because Gu Yiran highlighted many key points for them, the assessment was semi-open book. As long as they diligently reviewed these points regrly, there wouldnt be any problems.
At six oclock in the evening, the final written test officially ended.
Those who were not already eliminated all passed smoothly.
Where he would be assigned in the end would all depend on luck.
[Mission Completed: Reward: 100,000 Proficiency Points.]
[Profession Completion: 10%. Reward: 5 billion yuan.]
Seeing that it was a cash reward, Lin Yi felt gratified. After all, the Lingyun Group was in the development stage.
The various research and development required arge amount of funds. This five billion yuan was a huge help.
[System mission: Close ten criminal or civil cases. Reward: 200,000 proficiency points.]
Lin Yis eyes lit up when he saw the new system mission.
He felt that the mission was not difficult.
This was because civil cases also fit the requirements of the mission.
If only criminal cases were considered, it might take a long time.
However, there was still one thing that made Lin Yi eager to try!
A week had passed, and although his career as a police officer hadnt officially started yet, a new profession could already be activated..

Chapter 1665: Its Good Enough That You Are Thinking About Me
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: End less Fantasy Trantion
After the exam ended that night, Lin Yi and the others training ended.
Over forty people gathered to have a pre-employment celebration.
As for rhe specific job details, they would be announced in three days.
During these few days in between, they were free to do as they pleased.
Lets go. Ive reserved a table at the Crab Emperor Pavilion. The training is finally over. We have to have a good gathering today, Zhou Xinghai said.
I know that ce, said a short-haired girl.
That ce seems to be quite expensive. Ive seen it on Douyin a few times.
The price is indeed not cheap, but dont worry, my family knows someone there. We can get a 30% discount and split it evenly. It wont cost much, Zhou Xinghai said.
Cant we show some spirit and not let the girls pay? With so many guys here, each of us could just chip in a bit more, Zhang Peng said.
That won t do. Let me make things clear, living off others is not in our nature, Zhang Zixin said.
Today we re going to Crab Emperor Pavilion, and itll be split equally at the end.
As the saying goes, women are as capable as men, and Zhang Zixins suggestion received support from all the women.
Though none of them were particrly wealthy, the cost divided among them wasnt much, and everyone could afford it.
Brother Lin, you wont skip the gathering today, right? Zhang Zixin looked at Lin Yi and asked.
I have nothing to do. Lets go together.
Initially, Lin Yi had wanted to invite Ji Oingyan out for a meal, but when he remembered that she had been very busy recently and that this was a group event, he understood that it was not appropriate for him to skip, so he agreed.
Then what are we waiting for? Lets go. We ll get drunk today.
After finalizing the n, everyone went back to change.
The boys were unbothered, but the girls were excited. They had been training every day and really didnt want to wear the uniform anymore.
In addition, the bootlicker, Zhou Xinghai, also invited Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran.
Initially, the two of them wanted to refuse, but they could not resist everyones enthusiasm and only followed along.
While everyone was changing, Li Xianghui called Lin Yi to the office.
There were two desks and a bed in the room, where they usually worked and stood duty.
But aside from him, Gu Yiran was also there, seemingly preparing to leave together.
Trainings over. How do you feel?
At this moment, Li Xianghui was no longer so serious. He behaved like an old friend.
Everything was pretty good, the intensity wasnt too high.
Kid, your physical fitness is really the best Ive seen in all these years. Li Xianghui smiled and said.
Ive already told the higher-ups that youll be assigned to our Criminal Police Unit when you start work in three days.
Does this count as an early leak?
Kid, dont be unappreciative. Others dont ger such preferential treatment. Li Xianghui said.
Perform well in the future. I think highly of you. You can achieve great things in the future.
Thank you for your kind words.
However, youre a new employee. I definitely cant transfer you over directly. Youll have to deal with some civil cases first. When you have experience, Ill transfer you over. This is a necessary process. Dont misunderstand.
No problem. Im just a screw, wherever Im needed, thats where Ill go.
Gu Yiran rolled her eyes andined in her heart, Nonsense.
Kid, 1 feel that apart from your strong physique, your greatest strength is nonsense, Li Xianghui said.
But theres something else I have to tell you. In the future, you and Little Gu will be colleagues. If you have any conflicts, set them aside now. No matter what, youre a man. Be magnanimous.
The main issue is that its too small, small enough to only distinguish between the front and back. I really had no choice.
Li Xianghui didnt understand Lin Yis words, but Gu Yiran did.
Youre the one whos front and back cant be distinguished!
My thing is indeed used to differentiate between front and back. Do you think it has any other function?
Gu Yiran,
Alright, alright. 1 was just talking about this. Why are you arguing again? Li Xianghui said helplessly. He felt that his advice was useless.
Alright, lets go. Theyve probably all set off. Lets not be toote.
The three of them walked out of the office.
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Lin Yi waved for a taxi and was stopped by Li Xianghui.
Well take Little Gus car. Why are you still hailing a taxi?
Her car is too small. Its ufortable to sit in it.
Gu Yiran,
Li Xianghui, *
This was making things difficult for him.
I didnt even want to drag you into this.
Li Xianghui also knew that the conflict between the two of them would probably not be resolved in a short time, so he did not force it.
He and Gu Yiran got into the car first.
Following closely behind, Lin Yi also hailed a taxi and drove towards Crab Emperor Pavilion.
But on the way there, Lin Yi received a WeChat message from Li Chuhan.
Call me back when its convenient.
Every time Li Chuhan sent a message, it was the same opening line. It never changed.
Lin Yi dialed the number. Whats wrong?
Is the training over? I recall that today is thest day.
Yes, its done. Everyone has organized a gathering and we are now heading toward the restaurant.
Have you packed your things? I have nothing to do tomorrow morning, so I can help you pack.
Alright, lets go our for a walk after packing up.
If it were anyone else, Lin Yi wouldnt have let theme over. There werent many things, and he could handle them.
However, Li Chuhan was different. The two of them spent the least time together.
Now that he had time, he naturally had to spend it with her.
Mhm, Ill be there by 8 tomorrow. How about you? Will you make it on time?
No need, Ille over and stay at your ce tonight, and we ll head over together tomorrow.
1
Really?
Li Chuhan raised her voice. From her voice, one could tell that she was excited.
Why would I lie to you? Seriously.
In that case, Ill wait for you.
Ill try to get back early.
Okay, Li Chuhan said.
I have something else to tell you. The person called Ma Jialiang is going to undergo a steel te surgery at ten oclock in the morning the day after tomorrow. However, 1 heard from Director Sun of the Orthopedics Department that he might have to return to Shianggang after this surgery. However, Im not sure when he will actually leave or if he will stay.
You even found out about this? No one suspected anything, right?
No. Li Chuhan said.
His heart isnt in great shape either. Before the surgery, Director Sun asked me to join a brief consultation, during which he subtly inquired about Ma Jialiangs condition without raising any suspicion/
Wow, not bad, Lin Yi said. Youve learned how to subtly extract information from people. Pretty good.
Hehe. Li Chuhanughed embarrassedly. I learned it from you.
Alright, lets nor talk about it for now. Im almost there. If theres anything, we ll talk when I get back tonight.
Theres no hurry. You dont have to leave so fast. Otherwise, others will think that you dont fit in.
That wont do. 1 have to prioritize this.
As long as you are thinking about me, I dont care about anything else.
Mua, love you.
I love you too.
After being intimate for a while, Lin Yi hung up.
Actually, it would be a bit longer before he would reach the restaurant. The reason why he wanted to hang up was because Ji Qingyan had called.
Mr. Lin, the training should be over by now, right? Flow do you feel? When will you be back? she asked sweetly.
I cant go back today. I have some other things to deal with. Tomorrow afternoon. Ill meet you at the office.
Do you want me toe over and help you pack?
Theres no need to go through so much trouble. Theres not much. 1 can do it myself.
Then Ill prepare a weing banquet for you.
Alright, mua, love you
Driver,???
An expert!

Chapter 1666: A Drinking Competition
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
After spending some time with Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi hung up.
The driver kept looking at Lin Yi from the corner of his eye.
He was filled with respect.
He even wanted to ask Lin Yi for guidance.
Half an hourter, the car arrived at the Crab Emperor Pavilion.
Out of admiration for Lin Yi, the driver waived two yuan in change.
Crab Emperor Pavilion was one of the more famous restaurants in Zhonghai.
Although it was not a three-star Michelin restaurant, it was still famous. Many food bloggers hade here to try it.
President Lin?
Just as Lin Yi was waiting for the elevator and about to go to the private room on the second floor, he heard someone call his name.
He turned around and realized that it was a middle-aged man. There were a few people following him. They seemed to be hotel staff.
Lin Yi sized up the middle-aged man who spoke and thought for a while, but he couldnt remember anything.
They did not know each other.
And you are?
The middle-aged man walked towards Lin Yi.
Hello, President Lin. Im the general manager of the Crab Emperor Restaurant chain, Wang Tianhu.
With that, Tianhu Wang handed over a business card. Lin Yi took it casually, but he still had no impression of him.
Hello, Lin Yi replied politely, You look familiar, but I dont remember where Ive seen you before.
Weve never met, and you cant wont me, but you should know my brother.
Your brother?
My brother is Wang Tianlong.
F*ck!
You two are rtives? Lin Yi was shocked. No wonder he looked familiar.
Hes my cousin. My father is his second uncle.
Lin Yi was enlightened. Then we are considered familiar with each other.
Yes, yes, yes. We can be considered to have gotten to know each other. 1 didnt expect to have the chance to see you today. This is the honor to our Crab Emperor Pavilion.
Youre too kind.
President Lin, are you here for dinner? Ill arrange the best private room for you.
Theres no need to make a big fuss. 1 just came over for a meal with friends. Otherwise, 1 wont be able to eat.
Wang Tianhu gave him a meaningful look. Got it. Youre keeping a low profile.
Lin Yi smiled. As expected of Wang Tianlongs younger brother. He could understand his words with just one look.
Alright, I wont talk to you anymore. Im going up.
Okay, okay, okay. Take care, President Lin.
Wang Tianhu respectfully sent Lin Yi to the elevator and said to the waiter, Find out which room President Lin is eating in. Serve a few dishes and bring a few bottles of good wine over. We cant be negligent. Also, we cant ept any of his money after this.
Got it, Director Wang.
Soon, Lin Yi took the elevator to the third floor.
Outside the private room, he could hear the sound ofughter.
Brother Lin, youre here. Ive been waiting for you for a long time.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, Zhang Zixin was the first to pull him to her side.
After changing out of their training uniforms, the girls switched into their own clothes, with their attractiveness noticeably increasing, providing a significant boost to the visual atmosphere.
Seeing Lin Yi surrounded by a group of girls, Zhou Xinghai rolled his eyes.
He was the one who had organized the days event. How did Lin Yi be the main character?
Come,e,e. Everyone is here. Lets order now. Zhou Xinghai said. Everyone, rx. Ive already informed the manager. Therell be a discount for this meal. Dont stand on ceremony.
But looking at the menu. Even with 30% off, its still not cheap.
Its fine. Just pay 100 yuan per person today. Ill take care of the rest.
Although Zhou Xinghais family background was not bad, he could not afford to treat more than 40 people to a meal alone.
If each person paid 100 yuan, he could still bear to front the remaining money.
This was also the countermeasure he had thought of on the way.
Because Gu Yiran was here today, he had to be generous and win her favor.
No, we should go Dutch. Your familys money doesnt grow on trees.
Its just a small matter. It doesnt matter.
Ten minutester, everyone ordered.
The dishes were served very quickly. About twenty minutester, they were served one after another.
Seeing the alluring seafood dishes on the table, everyones appetite was whetted and they prepared to try them.
My Brother Hai is so generous. Ive never eaten in such a good ce before, Ding Chao said with a smile.
Its a small matter. Its not much money. Ill treat you in the future. Zhou Xinghai raised his wine ss and said heroically.
Come,e, lets fill our sses and toast Inspector Li and Instructor Gu.
Everyone responded and filled their sses, toasting the two of them.
Theres no need to be so polite. Li Xianghui raised his ss and said, Although some of you will be assigned to the police stations below, you are still under the jurisdiction of the sub-bureau. In the future, you should help and support each other and stay united.
Got it, Inspector Li.
Everyone downed the wine in their cups, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Lets drink to our hearts content today. We have to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. We wont go home until were drunk.
After saying that, Zhou Xinghai elbowed Ding Chao. Thetter understood and raised his ss.
Team Leader Lin, youve put in a lot of effort organizing our training and warm-ups. Let me toast you.
A weasel paying respects to a chicken is up to no good, Zhang Peng said. What are you talking about? Did 1 make a mistake in toasting?
Havent you guys always been at odds with Brother Lin? 1 dont believe youll be so kind as to toast him.
There was indeed some unpleasantness in the past, but now that the training is over, those things have disappeared. Ill toast Team Leader Lin and let bygones be bygones. There shouldnt be anything wrong with that, right?
I think youre
Theres no need to be so calctive. Its just a ss of wine.
Lin Yi filled his ss. Come, drink.
Ill gi first.
Lin Yi didnt hesitate. He took the ss and downed it in one gulp.
Good job, Brother Lin. Zhang Zixin pped and cheered like a fangirl.
At the same time, Zhou Xinghai also raised his ss.
Lin Yi, Ill drink only this one toast with you. Even though weve had our unpleasant moments before, lets let bygones be bygones after this drink. From the looks of it, why does it seem like youre nning to get me drunk? How can you say Im trying to get you drunk? On such a joyful day, we must fully enjoy ourselves.
Gu Yiran shook his head secretly. She could tell what Zhou Xinghai was thinking at a nce.
It was obvious that he wanted to get Lin Yi drunk, but she had personally witnessed Lin Yis alcohol tolerance firsthand.
He didnt balk after downing four bottles of Aces of Spades. It wouldnt be easy to get him drunk.
Thats enough, youve already had one drink just now. Theres no need to keep drinking, Gu Yiran said.
Gu Yirans words made Zhou Xinghai very happy.
Was he concerned about her?
All the more reason to push on He had to force Lin Yi to drink and help her regain her pride!
Dont worry, Instructor Gu. My alcohol tolerance is not bad. This bit of alcohol is nothing to me, Zhou Xinghai said with a smile.
I remember back in school, Brother Hai drank more than ten bottles of beer alone. Everyone else vomited, but he was fine. This bit of wine is nothing to him, Ding Chao said..
Chapter 1667 - 1667: Asking to be Rebuffed
Chapter 1667: Asking to be Rebuffed
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
No way. He drank more than ten bottles alone? His alcohol tolerance is too good.
Zhou Xinghais alcohol tolerance had exceeded most peoples expectations.
He was usually gentle and refined, but they didnt expect him to be so good at drinking.
Actually, that wasnt my limit. Zhou Xinghai said.
I remember the most I ever drank. It was almost 19 bottles, but I didnt throw up. I went straight to sleep. The next day, 1 acted as if nothing had happened.
Hearing this, everyone gained a new understanding of Zhou Xinghais alcohol tolerance.
Brother Hai, I really didnt know that you were so skilled. Ive really underestimated you, said a person called Yang Junjie.
Brother Hai does a lot of amazing things. Youll find out more in the future. Ding Chaoughed out loud.
At the Huaxian table, alcohol tolerance was also a manifestation of ones strength.
Hearing thepliments, Zhou Xinghai was in a good mood. He raised his ss and looked at Gu Yiran.
Dont worry, Instructor Gu. With my alcohol tolerance, I can drink a few sses in a row.
Then you guys can continue.
Gu Yiran didnt say anything, but he still thought that Zhou Xinghai was no match for Lin Yi when it came to drinking.
After that incident, she consulted with relevant experts on this matter.
Some people have a unique constitution, with their liver secreting alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes several times more than that of an average person.
Even if they drink a lot, its just a trifle for them and wont result in a high alcohol concentration like it would in ordinary people.
A few trips to the bathroomter, they would have essentially eliminated it from their system.
Therefore, in terms of drinking, Gu Yiran admits that Lin Yi is extraordinary, which is the main reason she was caught off guard by him.
Unless he met someone even more peculiar than him, no one would be his match.
Gu Yirans concern made Zhou Xinghai very happy.
Therefore, he was even more determined to get Lin Yi drunk and avenge Gu Yiran!
In this way, her impression of him would also improve.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xinghai raised his ss and said to Lin Yi,
Come on, the atmosphere has already reached this point. Lets be generous and straightforward.
Youve already said so much. If 1 dont drink with you, Ill look petty.
Lin Yi opened the baijiu on the table.
A lot of unpleasant things have indeed happened between the two of us, but a ss of beer obviously cant solve the problem. Lets drink baijiu. If you drink too much beer, your stomach will swell.
With that, Lin Yi took the white wine and drank it under everyones gaze.
In less than two minutes, he had drunk 475 milliliters of baijiu.
Then, Lin Yi pushed the other bottle of baijiu on the table towards Zhou Xinghai.
This bottle is yours. After drinking it, well be good friends. If you dont drink it, youll be disrespecting me.
In an instant, the table fell silent.
More than forty people, including Li Xianghui, looked at Lin Yi with wide eyes.
This guy actually drank a whole bottle of baijiu!
Even if they drank beer, they wouldnt have finished it so fast.
Dont look at me. Lin Yi said.
Its his turn to drink. Fifty-two percent isnt very high. With your alcohol tolerance, you can easily do it.
This time, everyones gaze fell on Zhou Xinghai.
Lin Yi had already finished his drink. It was his turn now.
If he couldnt drink it, he would lose face.
Seeing the baijiu on the table, Zhou Xinghais lips twitched.
He was good at drinking beer, but not baijiu.
Although he could also drink a bit, he couldnt take it if he drank a whole bottle in one go.
My alcohol tolerance is good, but I dont like to drink baijiu. Just like how you dont like to drink beer, you cant force me to drink this.
Thats no problem. Lets change it then. A bottle of 53-percent baijiu is about ten beers. Nobody should object, right?
Everyone nodded. They all often drank, so they knew this conversion method.
No one objected.
Lin Yi casually took the other bottle of baijiu and gulped it down.
Ive drunk two bottles now. As long as you drink 20 bottles of beer, youll match the amount Im drinking now. Lin Yi said.
After you finish 20 bottles, well continue drinking. Its fairer that way.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Zhou Xinghai.
His limit was 19 bottles, but he had to finish 20 bottles to catch up to Lin Yis current state.
However, when the time came, he would probably be unconscious and wouldnt be able to drink with Lin Yi any further.
Gu Yiran shook her head secretly. She might be able to ept him drinking four bottles of Ace of Spades.
However, drinking two bottles of 53-percent baijiu in a row was definitely considered a miracle.
Zhou Xinghai was asking for trouble.
The corners of Zhou Xinghais mouth twitched as heughed awkwardly.
You, your alcohol tolerance is really not bad. After drinking so much, youre actually fine.
Im alright.
Lin Yi greeted, Waiter.
Soon, the waiter came in from outside. Can I help you, sir?
Lin Yi pointed at Zhou Xinghai. Give this gentleman 20 bottles of beer.
All? Do you want me to clear the table? the waiter asked in surprise.
Lin Yi nodded, This is his portion alone. We need to reserve it in advance to prevent others from drinking it.
Got it.
The waiter did not hesitate. He swiftly picked up 20 bottles of beer and ced them in front of Zhou Xinghai.
Now, he had no choice but to drink it.
Come, is there anyone else who wants to drink? Lets continue. Lin Yi called out.
Its been a long time since Ive had such a good drink.
No, no, no. Brother Lin, please spare us. With your alcohol tolerance, who can drink you?
Since theres no one else to drink, lets start eating. Lets not mention drinking anymore.
Alright, alright, alright. Lets focus on eating.
After Zhou Xinghai was subdued, the gathering officially began. However, they still had to drink, but just in smaller quantities.
ng! ng! ng!
Come in!
There was a knock on the door. Zhou Xinghai waved his hand in a rather heroic manner.
The door of the private room opened, and more than ten beautiful waitresses in high slit cheongsams walked in.
They were holding all kinds of dishes in their hands, but in the eyes of the male students, the white thighs under the cheongsam were more tempting than the dishes in their hands.
Seeing the person who came in, Zhou Xinghai was stunned and subconsciously asked,
Whats going on?
Hello, our Director Wang said that theres an important guest in this private room. He instructed us to send these dishes up, the beautiful waitress said.
important guest? Ding Chao continued.
Brother Hai, doesnt your father know the manager of Crab Emperor Pavilion? Are they offering dishes out of courtesy?
After being reminded by Ding Chao, Zhou Xinghai said pretentiously,
Aiyo, your Director Wang is too polite. Im just here for a meal. Theres no
need to make such a big scene. Youre making me feel embarrassed..
Chapter 1668 - 1668: Hit the Gun
Chapter 1668: Hit the Gun
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Thats what our Director Wang instructed. The waiter said.
Moreover, our Director Wang also said that we should bring the dishes over first. Later, he will personallye over and toast everyone to liven things up.
Aiya, how embarrassing. Ive made Director Wang spend on us.
Although he said that, Zhou Xinghai was overjoyed in his heart.
In the past, he only knew that the man had some rtionship with his father, but he did not expect it to be so good.
Not only did he offer free dishes, but he was also taking the initiative toe over and toast.
It was no wonder that he could be the general manager. He had actually achieved such a level of worldly wisdom. It was only natural for him to seed.
At the same time, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.
This is Ames caviar.
This is an Aund king crab.
This is the Silk Lobster.
This is bluefin tuna. It was just airlifted from Aund today. It was originally reserved for the boss, but our Director Wang said that you guys are esteemed guests, so he asked the chef toe back to cook it.
Sir, a total of twelve dishes have been served.
After finishing, the beautiful head waitress took two bottles of red wine from behind her and said,
This is the 2014 Screaming Eagle Cabe Sauvignon. Please enjoy tasting it.
After introducing all the dishes, the dozen or so beautiful waitresses left.
The atmosphere in the private room also fell into one of amazement and surprise!
Is this all for us?
Ding Chao did not know how to describe his feelings. He hade to have a meal, but they had actually put on such a big show. It was exciting!
Thats for sure. My dads influence is well known around here.
Zhou Xinghai was in a good mood and was already overjoyed.
Wang Tianhu is really good at handling things, making me seem much more impressive than intended.
And with Gu Yiran here, she had probably started having thoughts toward him now.
It felt so good!
Ames caviar, Aund King Crab, Silk Lobster, and Bluefin Tuna are all top-notch ingredients. Even a big boss with a worth of tens of millions would not be able to eat all of this. Today, we are experiencing it firsthand. Brother Hai, youre too decadent, Yang Junjie said.
Hehe, its alright. In truth, its nothing much. After all, our two families are sort of rted. My father and their Director Wang are also brothers. Its normal for him to give us a few dishes and two bottles of wine, Zhou Xinghai said.
Even if they call each other brothers, this lineup is too luxurious. This kind of food is typically reserved for leaders. Even if they have money, they wont be able to eat it, right? Ding Chao said.
Without mentioning anything else, just these two bottles of red wine are world-ss. Moreover, I just checked, and it seems like this 2014 Screaming Eagle Cabe Sauvignon is over ten thousand per bottle. Being able to drink this today is truly not an easy feat.
Then, everyone took out their phones and prepared to take a few photos to post on WeChat.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Lin Yi was sincerely impressed.
It was expected if Wang Tianlong was like this, but his cousin Wang Tianhu was the same.
Did these genes run in the Wang family?
Lin Yi thought about it. He had to ask Wang Tianlong about this when he had time.
Was there someone in their family who had been the chief eunuch who served the emperor? They were too tactful.
He had to study it when he returned and see if he could poach him to the Lingyun Group.
Alright, everyone, dont pay too much attention to this matter. Hurry up and eat. The dishes will get cold soon, and it wont taste as good, Zhou Xinghai said with his legs crossed.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Ding Chao roared,
Come in!
Creak!
The door of the private room was pushed open. Wang Tianhu said with a smile,
I hope I didnt interrupt your meal.
Seeing the person who came in, Zhou Xinghai immediately stood up from his chair.
Uncle Wang, youre too polite. You actually came personally.
Seeing Zhou Xinghai, Wang Tianhu smiled and said,
Little Hai, I havent seen you in a long time.
Ive been busytely. Ive been training, so I was a little busy, Zhou Xinghai said with a smile.
Wang Tianhu nodded and said politely,
Thats true. At your age, your career is on the rise. You have to work hard. Otherwise, itll be toote for regrets in the future.
Uncle Wang is right. Thats why I quit all those bad habits and focused on work, Zhou Xinghai said seriously.
But you and my father are old acquaintances. I just brought my colleagues here for a casual meal. Theres really no need to be so polite. You served us such a big table of precious ingredients. Youre treating me like an outsider.
If not for the fact that the situation that forbade it, Zhou Xinghai would have hugged Wang Tianhu and kissed him.
He was too proud of himself!
Inparison, Lin Yi had no advantage over him.
Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran were also surprised.
He knew that Zhou Xinghais conditions were not bad, but he did not expect them to be so good.
Thats right. I didnt prepare anything because your father and I are old acquaintances. Wang Tianhu said.
Regarding the seafood that was served, it was specially prepared for Mr. Lin. Im really not treating you as an outsider.
Wang Tianlong already knew that Lin Yi was a low-key person, so he didnt expose his identity.
He only used the nickname Mr. Lin.
This nickname had be more than just a way to address someone.
In Zhonghai, there were many prominent individuals with the surname Lin, but the only one who dared to be referred to as Mr. Lin was Lin Yi himself!
No one else was worthy of the title.
A single cigarette from Mr. Lin outweighs half of Zhonghai.
This saying wasnt made lightly.
Prepared for Mr. Lin? Which Mr. Lin? Zhou Xinghai was surprised.
Wang Tianhu looked at Lin Yi, That Mr. Lin Yi.
Him?!
Hiss
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped!
In their usual interactions, they only felt that Lin Yis conditions were not bad. They felt he was not rich, but he was not very poor either.
However, they did not expect him to have such connections. This was too amazing.
Theres something I forgot to tell you. We know each other as well. Lin Yi smiled.
Im sorry to have embarrassed you.
Zhou Xinghai, Tm way too f*cking embarrassed!
Gu Yiran looked rxed and did not panic.
Lin Yi had such a good rtionship with that woman, so it was normal for him to know some famous people.
However, what happened today was indeed a little coincidental. Zhou Xinghai could be considered a victim.
Wang Tianhu took the wine on the table and poured himself a ss. He said to the others,
Everyone here is a friend of Mr. Lin. Things were arranged in a hurry, and I didnt prepare much. I dont have much to offer as a gesture, so, for todays meal, consider it on me. Everyone should feel free to order and drink as much as they want. No one should be polite with me.
Chapter 1669 - 1669: An Unexpected New Profession
Chapter 1669: An Unexpected New Profession
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Its a treat!
Everyone started discussing in low voices.
Yes, all the expenses today are on me. Dont stand on ceremony, everyone.
Wang Tianhu downed the wine in his cup and said a few more polite words before turning to leave.
Brother Lin, youre the best. Zhang Peng said.
Not only is the restaurants boss giving us food and wine, but he is also giving us everything for free. This is not treatment ordinary people can receive.
Its fine, its fine. 1 didnt expect him toe himself. Lin Yi said.
Since someone is treating us, lets eat to our hearts content. Dont worry about anything else.
Hehe, then we wont stand on ceremony with you, Zhang Zixin said.
Zhou Xinghai sat awkwardly at the side, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
After that, he didnt say a word. He quietly ate his meal and then found an excuse to leave.
At around 10 p.m., after three rounds of drinks and five different dishes, everyone was tipsy and ended the meal.
After saying their goodbyes, everyone parted ways. Lin Yi took a taxi to Li Chuhans ce to apany her.
As soon as he entered, he smelled the fragrance of tea. Li Chuhan was busy in the kitchen.
Why arent you asleep yet? What are you busy with?
I made you some hangover tea. Drink some first.
Sure thing.
Li Chuhans thoughtfulness was always so meticulous and gentle, like a soft spring rain.
This was something that neither Ji Qingyan nor Liang Ruoxu could do.
Later on, the two of them didnt do much. They snuggled together and watched TV for a while. Then, they chatted about Ma Jialiang before going to bed.
Li Chuhan slept very soundly and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
However, only Li Chuhan really slept. Lin Yi was still counting the time.
It had been a week since the start of the police profession. After midnight, he would be able to start a new profession.
Lin Yi rubbed his palms together. He didnt know what profession he would be given.
At midnight, the system notification sounded in Lin Yis mind.
[New Profession Activation (Yes/No)]
[Profession: Daoist priest of Mount Longhu.]
[Profession Completion: o%]
[Host, please receive the professional gift bag. 10 million yuan, Book of Daoism (Lone Book).]
What the f*ck?!
Lin Yi had been pretending to be asleep, but when he saw his new profession, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Damn it, it actually wants me to be a Daoist priest?
System, f*ckyou. Do you want me to quit being lustful because there are too many girls around me?
[The mortal world is prosperous. This profession helps the hostprehend the true meaning of life.]
Screw your grandmother. My life is pretty good now. I dont need toprehend the true meaning of it. 1 am happy facing the mysteries of life. [If the host is unwilling to experience a new profession, you can change it again after a week.]
Lin Yi smacked his lips. The profession of Daoist priest was a little messed up, but after thinking about it, it might not be all that bad.
There was nothing wrong with him experiencing it.
However, Lin Yi had a bad feeling.
Now that he was being asked to be a Daoist priest, would it ask him to be a monk in the future?
Cant you give me a job as a security guard or courier?
Why did he have to be a Daoist priest?!
Afterining in his heart for a while, Lin Yi gradually calmed down.
Since the opportunity had presented itself, he might as well take things as they came.
When the time came, he would see what the situation was like. In any case, the choice was in his hands.
The next morning, when Lin Yi opened his eyes, Li Chuhan had already made breakfast.
Go wash up first. Well get your luggage after dinner.
Sure thing.
Li Chuhans gentleness waspletely different from Ji Qingyans.
The former was like a silent nourishment, akin to a cup of clear tea, while thetter was like candy, feeling surrounded by sweetness at all times.
As for Liang Ruoxu, well, she was best left unmentioned.
After dinner, Li Chuhan drove with Lin Yi to the Xinshan branch office.
Ring ring ring!
On the way, Lin Yi received a call from Ji Qingyan.
Is the training over?
Its done. Im going to pack my things now, Lin Yi answered truthfully, Is there anything happening on your side?
Didnt 1 tell you that 1 wanted to hire a vice president?
I remember. Ill be there in the afternoon.
Alright, 111 wait for you.
In the training base.
After eating the day before, most people chose to return to the dormitory to pack their things.
When the two of them arrived, many of the trainees had already packed their things and were bidding farewell.
Damn, Zhang Peng, hurry up, 111 bring you to see a beauty.
Just after finishing his washing up, Zhang Peng, who hadnt yet tidied up his things, was hurriedly dragged out by Liu Bohong from the neighboring dorm. Whats the matter? A beauty in the mens dormitory? Did someone drink too muchst night and still hasnt sobered up?
Todays dormitory cleaning day, and outsiders havee to help tidy up. Ive seen several of them early this morning, Liu Bohong said.
Hurry up ande with me. Ill bring you to take a look.
Whose family member is here? Why are you so excited?
Shes Zhou Xinghais sister. Her figure and looks are definitely top-notch.
Really? Bring me there to take a look.
Although he had a deep grudge against Zhou Xinghai, if thetter had such a beautiful sister, he could temporarily set aside his conflicts.
After casually putting on some clothes, the two of them acted casual and walked towards Zhou Xinghais dormitory.
Just as they turned the corridor, they were shocked to see that there were a few people surrounding the door to Zhou Xinghais dormitory. They were all looking inside, some more subtly than others.
Zhang Peng grumbled internally about how nosy these people were.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Zhou Xinghais dormitory. Zhang Peng took a look inside and immediately found himself unable to look away.
In the dormitory stood a woman with a good figure.
She was wearing a ck dress and a pair of flesh-colored stockings. Most importantly, she was not bad-looking. She was undoubtedly a beauty. Zhang Peng even started to drool when he saw her.
Isnt he too lucky to have such a beautiful sister? Zhang Pengined.
I was thinking the same. Shes really too attractive, just like a movie star.
I heard shes a model, someone else said.
Thats easy to understand.
The crowd of onlookers stayed at the door watching for quite a while until Zhou Xinghai finished tidying up his things.
Zhou Xinghai also knew that these people hade to see his sister, so he was exceptionally proud.
This feeling of being envied was really satisfying!
Stop looking. All you can do is imagine. You wont be able to find a woman as beautiful as my sister in your lives.
Zhou Xinghais sister also smiled indifferently with some pride, as if she was looking at a group of inexperienced losers.
The two of them ignored the others. Zhou Xinghai took his luggage and prepared to go downstairs.
However, just as they turned the corner, everyone stopped in their tracks!
Because they saw Li Chuhan!

Zhang Peng and the others widened their eyes when they saw Li Chuhan.
Although she wasnt dressed as seductively as Zhou Xinghais sister, it was obvious that her figure was not bad. In fact, it was even better.
This was clear from the size!
But the most important thing was still her face.
It was obvious that she was not wearing any makeup, but she was not inferior to Zhou Xinghais sister at all.
If the woman in front of them scored 100 points, then Zhou Xinghais sister would at most score 90 points.
After all, girls changed drastically after putting on makeup.
Why are you all gathered together?
Lin Yi asked casually upon seeing Zhang Peng and the others.
We were just wandering around and ran into each other, Zhang Peng replied.
Brother Lin, is this our sister-inw?
Im his
Girlfriend.
Before Li Chuhan could say anything, Lin Yi spoke first.
Li Chuhans pretty face flushed red, and she felt uneasy.
However, she was extremely happy in her heart.
Come,e,e. Sister-inw, pleasee in. Dont just stand there.
Zhang Peng weed Li Chuhan into his dormitory, and the others followed.
On the other hand, Zhou Xinghais room was now empty.
Their siblings expressions immediately turned cold, as if they had been greatly insulted.
Lets go. Ignore them. Theyre just a group of inexperienced people.
After the two of them left, Lin Yis dormitory became lively.
Li Chuhan took the initiative to help Lin Yi pack his things. She was like a virtuous wife.
Lin Yi wanted to help, but she rejected him.
In her eyes, this was a womans job. He didnt need to do it.
The virtuous Li Chuhan attracted the envy of many people. They even started to drool.
Li Chuhan was very agile. In less than half an hour, she had packed all of Lin Yis things.
Then, they bade farewell to the others and left together.
The scene of Lin Yi parting wasnt too miserable, because they would meet again in a few days.
The two of them drove away but Lin Yi did not return to the Jiuzhou Pavilion immediately.
Instead, he brought Li Chuhan to Zhonghai Disnend.
A few hours was definitely not enough to do a full tour, but Li Chuhan was not very interested in the attractions.
She was happy enough just walking around and taking in the scenery.
At noon, the two of them had lunch at Disnend.
Although the food quality was not good, the taste naturally improved because of the presence of the other party.
After the meal, Li Chuhan dropped Lin Yi off at Chaoyang Group. As for his luggage, Li Chuhan made an extra trip to Jiuzhou Pavilion and left it with the security guard.
Im notte.
When he arrived at Ji Qingyans office, he discovered that she was having lunch. However, her eyes were fixed on the material beside her as she wore an unusually serious expression.
Youre back!
Upon seeing Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan put down the chopsticks in her hand and pounced on him. Her heart ached.
Youre all tanned.
Isnt that more manly?
It pairs well wiith your hairstyle. If you get a tattoo and a gold ne, youll be a gangster.
Then youre the big sister of our social circle.
Actually, now that you mention it, that title does have quite amanding ring to it.
Lin Yi couldnt help but smile wryly as he realized that Ji Qingyan seemed to have be a little tougher under his influence.
Didnt you say that the recruitment would begin in the afternoon? When will it start?
Itll take ce at two oclock in the afternoon. Its nearly time. Go to the human resources department. 1 have other things to do, so I wont apany you.
Are you sure you dont want to go? After all, we are recruiting for yourpany.
Its fine. 1 believe in your judgment. You wont do me wrong.
Thank you for your trust, President Ji. Ill strive toplete the mission sessfully.
Good. Mua!
The two of them spent a few minutes together before Lin Yi went to the HR department.
President Lin is here.
When Lin Yi arrived at the HR department, the HR manager, Huang Peiwen, quickly came over to greet him.
Huang Peiwen was not very old, being around thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She was dressed in a ck officedy uniform.
The young womans charm could be seen at a nce.
Dont call me President Lin. Im not used to it.
It had been more than two years since he left Chaoyang Group.
Even so, Lin Yi had always remembered Huang Peiwen.
When he was working here, she was the second-inmand of human resources and took very good care of him.
Of course, it was partially because of his good looks.
Otherwise, with the difference in their positions, there would be no interaction between them.
Huang Peiwen sighed inwardly. Back then, she had even had dishonest thoughts about him.
It was toote now. The president had won him.
That wont do. There are rules we cant break.
What rules? There are no outsiders here. Lets be more casual, otherwise, I cant carry on with my work.
Huang Peiwenughed. Then I wont stand on ceremony with you.
With that, she took out a stack of documents from the table and said,
The people who are applying for the job have already gathered in the conference room. Shall we start the interview now?
Alright, go notify them.
The president and other vice presidents usually interviewed candidates for a high position like vice president.
However, with Lin Yi around, Ji Qingyan left him in charge.
Huang Peiwen was also tasked with helping him.
Alright, Ill go now.
Wait, I have something to ask. Lin Yi asked.
How many people are applying?
Thirteen altogether. Seven men and six women. Why?
What do you think of the womens resumes?
Huang Peiwen sized Lin Yi up, Are you looking for a woman?
Yes.
Theyre not bad, but I dont know their overall ability. Huang Peiwen smiled and said.
If President Ji finds out about this, hell probably say that youre a straight man.
It doesnt matter. In short, we have to try our best to reject such things.
At this moment, there were more than ten people sitting in the Chaoyang Groups conference room. The gender was split fifty-fifty.
Whats going on with Chaoyang Group? As a well-knownrge corporation, theyve actually lowered their standards for recruiting a vice president to such an extent. The fact that over a dozen people came all at once is a bit unbelievable to me.
The speaker was a woman in a ck suit dress.
Her chest area was conspicuously exposed, while her lower half featured long, slender legs encased in ck stockings and paired with high heels, presenting a worldly aura.
What do you mean lowered standards? We all graduated from prestigious universities abroad, and weve held executive positions in Fortune 500panies. Why are you saying the standards have been lowered?
The speaking woman was tall and had a dignified appearance.
With slightly mature wavy long hair and wearing a semi-formal office uniform, she stood there elegantly and maturely, exuding the charm and temperament of a mature woman.
With your qualifications and experience, dont show off in front of me. 1 have dual PhDs in business administration and finance from Meiguos Hard University. Moreover, I worked on Whale Street for three years and became an executive vice president. With my qualifications, I am more than eligible to seek a vice president position in apany with a market value of tens of billions. Can youpare with me?

Chapter 1671: The Results Are Out
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Hearing the resume of the woman in the ck dress, everyone present was surprised!
She did not expect her resume to be so impressive!
Any one of these experiences was perfect!
Although the others had also studied abroad, they paled inparison to her. They were nothingpared to her.
Tsk, so what if she has a good resume? We dont even know if she can get the job. Another short-haired woman said.
Companies like Chaoyang Group recruit vice presidents because of theirprehensive ability. Even if your resume is stacked, we still have a chance to beat you.
You people reallyck experience. Havent you ever heard of the principle
know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat?
What do you mean?
To tell you the truth, the person who is conducting the interview today isnt
President Ji, but another executive, and hes a handsome man.
A male executive?
Thats right. Thats why even if I disregard your academic qualifications, just based on the way you dress, I know you wont be able to catch his eye. You dont have any femininity at all. How can you possibly catch his eye?
Upon hearing the woman in the ck dresss words, the rest of the peoples faces were filled with sorrow.
If that was the case, the chances of getting the job even slimmer.
Its often said that work felt less tiring when men and women teamed up.
The way she dressed that caught the eye was definitely a plus point in the eyes of men.
After all, every man liked women who wore sexy clothes!
Everyone looked around.They were either wearing jeans or long dresses; it was all standard work clothes.
There wasnt a single person wearing high-heeled stockings. They probably didnt stand a chance.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open. Huang Peiwen walked in with a stack of documents and said,
The interview begins now. Chen Jingya, candidate 1613.
The woman in the ck dress smiled charmingly and said to the others in the conference room,
Did you see that? The order of the interview should be arranged ording to the strength of the resume. Dont have too much hope. Hurry up and book a ride home.
The others present were a little indignant, but they had nothing to say.
She had the highest academic qualifications, and her work experience was also superior to theirs.
Moreover, in addition to the hardware conditions, her software conditions was also the best here.
Ignoring the other aspects, just her bust, which seemed almost inted, almost reached E-cup, while her buttocks were are so perky they almost reached the sky.
It was really not something that ordinary women couldpare to.
After Chen Jingya left, about half an hourter, the sound of high heels came from the corridor.
It was obvious that Chen Jingya had returned!
Huang Peiwen walked in with her.
The interview is now over. Please wait here for a while after the interview. We will announce the results on the spot after all the interviews arepleted. After saying that, Huang Peiwen looked at the form in her hand and smiled. Now, the first interviewee has ended. Lets invite the next interviewee, Ms.
Guo Shu ting.
Hearing Huang Peiwen read her name, the woman in uniform quickly adjusted her makeup to make herself look perfect.
She was full of regret.
If she had known that the interviewer was a man, she wouldnt have worn this set of clothes and covered her good figure!
After Guo Shuting left, the conference room fell silent. The remaining interviewees were also extremely nervous.
This was because the results would be announced right after the interviews. This was a torturous wait.
In a normal interview process, especially for such an important position, usually the president would call to inform the candidates of the results after the interviews are concluded.
This was the first time they were seeing the results announced on the same day.
And the initiator of this unusual approach was, of course, Lin Yi.
After about five minutes, Guo Shuting walked back dejectedly.
Like a frosted eggnt, she looked wilted.
What happened? What questions were you asked?
A slightly chubby interviewee stepped forward and asked.
Its over for me.
All? Over for you?
I saw your resume; youre much more qualified than I am. Did you get nervous and not perform well?
Im not nervous. 1 chatted quite well with President Lin, but the main thing is Guo Shuting hesitated.
Mainly what?
The main thing is that President Lin only chatted with me for five minutes and seemed to be impatient.
Hearing this, everyone realized that Chen Jingya had chatted with him for more than half an hour when she went for the interview!
On thisdys turn, they had only chatted for five minutes. This clearly showed the problem!
What did I say? You guys dont stand a chance. To be honest, I had a very pleasant conversation with President Lin during the interview. Not only did he take the initiative to ask for my number, but he also asked if I had a boyfriend. Hes probably asking me out for dinner tonight.
Guo Shuting crossed her legs and sat on the chair. She smiled and said,
If he didnt have to interview you guys, President Lin and I would have found
another ce to chat. Its all your fault for ruining our ns.
Everyones hearts sank.
What was going on?!
Since they had already made a follow-up appointment, the position would definitely go to her. The others would stand no chance at all!
Pfft, even if you seed in the interview, so what? Its not like were losing anything, Guo Shuting said, unconvinced.
Though she said that, Guo Shuting felt increasingly regretful the more she thought about it!
Why did he have to wear a uniform to the interview?!
If she had known earlier, she would have worn a short skirt!
Wearing this uniform made her look like an old woman!
She wasnt even wearing a pair of stockings. If she were a man, she would probably choose someone like Chen Jingya.
What do you mean by not losing anything? the chubby woman asked.
Let me tell you, President Lin is especially handsome.
At the mention of Lin Yi, Guo Shuting became interested and danced around.
When I first went in, I waspletely stunned. His looks were at the level of a male god. Thus, even if 1 fail the interview, its not like I wasted my time. Hehe, look at how pitiful you guys are. When I was interviewing, President Lin took the initiative to hug me and even touched my hand. If it were you guys, you would be so excited.
Chen Jingyas expression was yful. She was bragging to the heavens.
The women were chatting happily when Chen Jingya suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on them. They were no longer interested in chatting and sat there quietly.
Although they already knew that they had no chance, they would not give up until they reached the Yellow River. They would not turn back until they hit the south wall.
Were they supposed to just wait here for their death sentence?
About five minutester, the third interviewee returned dejectedly. It was obvious that they stood no chance.
Then, it was the fourth and fifth candidate
However, the more people went, the shorter the interviews became.
When it came to thest one, it was only a minute before the interview ended.
When all the interviews were over, the interviewees faces were all dark.
They knew that they would definitely not be selected.
The vice president position had already been reserved for the woman called Chen Jingya.
As for the rest, they just wanted to hear the results so that they could give uppletely.
However, the more they thought about it, the more defeated they felt. He had actually lost to this woman right from the way they dressed up!
Clothes made the man just as the saddle made the horse. They would need to buy a suit dress or some ck stockingster
Alright, go announce the results. I still have something else to do, so Ill go back first.
Hearing the voices outside, everyone in the conference room pricked their ears. Because that was President Lins voice!
President Lin, were interviewing for the vice president position. Its better for you to announce the results for such an important position. My rank is not high enough.
All right, then..

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
With that, the door of the meeting room was pushed open. Lin Yi and Huang Peiwen walked in one after another, preparing to announce the results of the interview.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, the girls quickly stood up.
Chen Jingya tugged at her skirt, revealing her skin.
The women looked calm, but their hearts, which had been silent for many years, were also beating wildly.
Women had always been obsessed with looks. Otherwise, they might as well just be blind.
We had to prepare the appointment letter just now, so we were dyed. Huang Peiwen said.
President Lin, please announce the results and issue the appointment letter for the vice president.
Standing in front of the crowd, Lin Yi cleared his throat and said,
The interview is over. Ill now announce the results.
At this moment, Chen Jingya flipped her hair and walked forward gracefully.
She was preparing to ept the appointment letter for the vice president.
Why did you step forward? Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
President Lin, dont keep us in suspense. Everyone knows that Im the one who seeded in the interview. With my conditions, they dont stand a chance, right?
Are you out of your mind? Who said you got the job? Wake up.
Chen Jingya was speechless after being rebuked by Lin Yi. She couldnt imagine that someone else had seeded over her!
With that, Lin Yi looked at the appointment letter in his hand and said,
The sessful candidate is Guo Shuting. Go back and prepare. Youll start work tomorrow.
What?!
I got it?!
Guo Shuting was a little stunned. It felt like a pie had fallen from the sky.
President, President Lin, can I still be hired dressed like this
Guo Shuting probed.
Lin Yi was speechless. What were these people thinking?
If that was important, the next applicant will have to wear underwear.
Guo Shuting blushed at Lin Yis words.
The thing is, she said you were going to invite her out to dinner alone. And then you talked for more than half an hour. We thought we didnt stand a chance.
Lin Yi nced at Chen Jingya and said slowly.
Was 1 drunk? Why would I invite you out for a meal alone?
Why?! Chen Jingya shouted.
I have the highest educational qualifications here and the richest work experience. Why did she get chosen? How can shepare to me?
You brought a bunch of fake diplomas over and still have the cheek to say that youre a top student? Lin Yi said coldly.
I was giving you face by not exposing you. You still want an exnation from me?
Fake education!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire ce was in an uproar!
No wonder her resume was so perfect. It was fake!
Standing behind Lin Yi, Huang Peiwen secretly gave him a thumbs up!
If it were her, she would probably have hired Chen Jingya.
Chen Jingya stood rooted to the ground with an ashen face. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a ce to hide.
He had spent a lot of money to make a set of fake educational qualifications, but she did not expect him to discover it!
You actually made a fool of me in public. Watch out in the future!
Get lost.
Seeing Chen Jingya leave angrily, Huang Peiwen shook her head.
She actually dared to threaten President Lin. She was ignorant and fearless!
After Chen Jingya left, the other interviewees also left one after another.
Hello, President Lin. Well be colleagues from now on, Guo Shuting bowed and said.
Lin Yi nodded. Ill leave themercial real estate business to you from now on. Work hard.
Thank you for your trust, President Lin. When I was overseas and in Yanjing, I also carried out such projects. 1 have some experience, so I wont let you down.
You dont have to tell me that. Im not from Chaoyang Group. This is all up to you.
Got it.
Seeing Lin Yi leave, Huang Peiwen took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Shuting.
Director Chen, were now colleagues. I hope we can work well together.
She was about to be the vice president of thepany after being sessfully hired. Since her rank was several levels higher than Huang Peiwens, thetter naturally had to be more polite.
Guo Shuting smiled and nodded. She asked curiously, I have a question.
Go ahead.
If President Lin isnt from thepany, where did hee from?
Huang Peiwenughed. When gossiping, women were always energetic.
President Lin is President Jis boyfriend, Huang Peiwen said.
President Jis been very busy with work recently and doesnt have time to deal with the recruitment, so why not leave it to President Lin?
You keep calling him President Lin? Does he have apany too?
You know of Lingyun Group, right?
Of course Id know of such a bigpany.
President Lin is the big boss of Lingyun Group. Now you know why President Ji is not worried about himing over to handle the recruitment.
What! Hes the president of Lingyun Group? Guo Shuting was so surprised that she could not close her mouth.
I recall that the president of the Lingyun Group is called Qi Xianzhao. Why is he
President Qi is the COO and senior vice president of Lingyun Group. Other than President Lin, hes the most senior employee, Huang Peiwen said.
However, President Lin deliberately hid his identity and is only in charge of formting thepanys development strategy. Thats why outsiders mistake President Qi to be thepanys CEO.
So thats what happened. Guo Shuting said.
President Lin is really amazing. He has such great achievements at such a young age.
At the same time, after the interview, Lin Yi went to Ji Qingyans ce.
Is everything settled? Ji Qingyan stood up and asked.
Lin Yi ced Guo Shutings resume and materials in front of Ji Qingyan.
Heres her information. I think its pretty good. Take another look.
I wont read it. 1 trust your judgment.
President Ji is getting better at talking.
Because Ji Qingyan had other things to do, the two of them lingered for only a few minutes before going off to do other things.
Lin Yi had nothing to do, so he decided to go to Wang Yings ce and explore the mysteries of life.
However, before he could leave, he received a call from Tian Yan.
President Lin, I heard that you became a police officer.
You found out from Yuanyuan, right?
Director He indeed told me. Is it convenient to talk now?
The training is over. Im at Chaoyang Group. Whats the matter?
Theres a bit of an issue at thepany. Could youe over, or perhaps 1 coulde to you if that works?
Wait for me at the office.
Okay.
After hanging up on Tian Yan, Ji Qingyan looked up at Lin Yi.
Is there something going on at thepany?
Lin Yi nodded. Tian Yan asked me to head on over. I dont know what exactly this is about, so Ill go take a look first.
Take my car.
Ji Qingyan handed the car keys over and helped Lin Yi adjust his clothes.
Go on. Call me if you need my help.
Okay.
Lin Yi took his car keys and drove to the Lingyun Group. He went to Tian Yans office.
Tian Yans attire remained neat and efficient, always wearing a white shirt paired with a uniform work outfit, looking very pleasing and striking.
What happened?
Chapter 1673 - 1673: Lin Yi’s Plan
Chapter 1673: Lin Yis n
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Tian Yan poured a ss of water for Lin Yi and said faintly,
Before the New Year, didnt we have a meeting to discuss setting up a fewboratories? Now, were running out of space, and thepany is nning to allocate a piece ofnd to build a high-sry industrial park.
Wait.
Is there a need to go through so much trouble? Is there really a need to allocatend for this?
This is Director Qis idea, and it was also decided during our meeting, Tian Yan said.
By establishing this, were essentially expanding our industrial scale. Although those in the know understand that its not very meaningful, it looks different to the general public. Theres a significant perceptual difference, and it will greatly enhance thepanys reputation among the people.
Tian Yanbed her hair and continued,
Whats more, doing this can be considered a political achievement for the city leaders. Although it will cost more money, its still worth it in terms of long-term benefits.
Hearing Tian Yans exnation, Lin Yi understood what was going on. He had indeed thought too little about this matter.
Okay, go on.
Before Director Qi left, he took a fancy to a piece ofnd and even met with the relevant leaders in advance. They said that it wasnt a big problem and that they would cooperate fully, but something happened recently and are nowpeting with us for this.
This is interesting. Lin Yi took a sip of water and smiled.
Who wants to fight with us fornd? Is it someone from another province?
Tian Yan nodded. Huanghai Group from Shianggang.
F*ck, why is it them again?
Why the big reaction? Tian Yan asked suspiciously, Do you know them?
Thispany fought with Chaoyang Group fornd before this. After 1 taught them a lesson, theyre now fighting with us.
Lin Yi believed that the people from Huanghai Group knew about his background.
He also believed that the other party would carry out a thorough inspection beforemitting to a project.
Because of these reasons, their actions showed that they dared to openlypete with him. They were really poking the bear..
Its possible that theyre going against us. Tian Yan said.
But Huanghai Group is a bigpany. Its president is Li Dongxin. He used to be the richest man in Huaxia and is our strongpetitor.
You guys stick to the original n. 111 settle this.
Just as Lin Yi had thought, Huanghai Group had indeed investigated him.
However, their research was limited to Lingyun Groups influence in Zhonghai.
They did not find any in-depth information about him.
The Li Family didnt know about Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxus rtionship, the Liang Familys influence in Yanjing, nor his rtionship with Lu Beichen.
Otherwise, they would have to think twice before doing these things.
Lin Yi took out his phone and called Ma San.
As soon as the call connected, he heard Ma Sans sinisterughter, as if he knew that Lin Yi was going to call him.
President Lin, long time no see. May I know why you are calling me?
I think you people from Shianggang are quite interesting. I took one of your hands and you still dare to taunt me. Doesnt your hand hurt?
Unfortunately, this is your fault, Ma San said.
Zhonghai is so big. Are you the only one who can do business here? Cant others do the same? Arent you being too domineering?
Looks like I have to talk to you when 1 have time. Ill need to teach you a lesson, Lin Yi said with a smile.
Come on. Id love to talk to you, too, but before that, you need to find me.
Ma San didnt give Lin Yi a chance to speak and hung up.
After hanging up, Lin Yi got up.
Old Qi isnt around. Take care of thepany for now. Call me if theres anything you cant handle.
Got it.
Wheres He Yuanyuan?
I think she went shopping.
F*ck
After getting down to business, Lin Yi instructed Tian Yan to gather the other executives for an internal meeting.
During this period, Qi Xianzhao was not around. Thus, Lin Yi prepared to deal with all the umted matters.
The meeting only ended at six oclock in the evening, and then he went over to pick Ji Qingyan up from work.
That night, the two of them didnt go home to eat. They went to eat hotpot together to celebrate Lin Yis return.
After returning home, Ji Qingyan did not go to the study. Instead, she sat on the sofa with Lin Yi and watched television.
Ji Qingyan was resting on hisp, and Lin Yi asionally fed her some fruit, acting like a diligent caretaker.
During a quiet moment, Lin Yi ced his hand on Ji Qingyans stomach, which she did not resist. He stroked back and forth for quite some time.
Having touched for so long, have you felt anything? Ji Qingyan asked with a chuckle.
The flesh feels plump and firm, and seems about the right weight. Our little pet pig is ready to be turned into a meal.
I bet the meat would be delicious, probably good enough to grant eternal youth.
I realized that youre getting more and more shameless. You can even say such things.
Hehe, there are no outsiders anyway.
Following her usual routine, Ji Qingyan headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
Lin Yi took out his phone and sent Li Chuhan a WeChat message. He checked the time of Ma Jialiangs surgery with her and then called Miao Guofeng.
They chatted for more than 20 minutes before hanging up.
After arranging everything, Lin Yi rubbed his chin and muttered to himself,
Zhonghai is my territory. Arent you happy enough to have survived? Why do you have to show off?
The next morning, as usual, after breakfast, Lin Yi sent Ji Qingyan to Chaoyang Group.
Then, he went to Huashan Hospital and found the director of the Orthopedics Department, Sun Xiaogang.
Director Lin, why are you here?
In the office, Sun Xiaogang stood up to wee Lin Yi.
Theres something I want to tell you, Lin Yi said.
At ten oclock, is there a patient called Ma Jialiang who is scheduled for surgery?
Yes, theres still more than half an hour until then. The preoperative examination is done. Itll start soon.
Sun Xiaogang smiled and said, Director Lin, is that Ma Jialiang your rtive? You could have just told me. There was no need toe personally.
Dont make this public. Im going to do the surgery.
Youre going to do it?
Sun Xiaogang was a little surprised. Its not a big surgery, but youre from the cardiology department. Are you sure youll be okay performing an orthopedic surgery?
Of course, such a small matter wont stump me. Lin Yi walked over, patted Sun Xiaogangs shoulder, and handed him two packets of Zhonghuo cigarettes.
Dont worry about this. ill handle the entire surgery. I dont need anyones help. You just have to instruct someone to send him to the operating table. Ill handle the rest alone.
But this is against the rules. Im just a director, and us swapping positions privately is definitely not allowed.
Its fine. Ive already informed the head. Dont worry, you wont be implicated.
Sun Xiaogang heaved a sigh of relief.
Im relieved hearing you say that. Ill do as you say..

In Room 602.
Li Hoaxing sat by Ma Sans bed and asked with a smile,
The surgery is about to begin. How do you feel? Are you nervous?
Its not the first time Ive been in an operating theater. I dont even feel anything anymore. Ma San smiled and said.
After the anesthetic is applied, Ill go to sleep. When Ie to, Ill already be back in the ward.
Im relieved that you have such a strong mentality.
By the way, President Li, theres something else I have to tell you.
What is it?
Lin Yi called me yesterday. He seemed very dissatisfied with us snatching thend.
Thats for sure. Ive already guessed that. Li Huaxing said.
With his status in Zhonghai, if we hadnt appeared, that piece ofnd would definitely have belonged to Lingyun Group. Now that Im involved, how easily he gets thatnd ispletely up to me.
I think hes a little flustered and exasperated. He even threatened me, Ma San said with a smile.
After todays surgery, Ill be leaving tomorrow. He wont be able to find me even if he works himself to death. I wonder what use those harsh words are.
Who cares? Hes just an entrepreneur from the maind. Thats all he can do. Li Huaxing patted the dust off his body and said jokingly,
Let me tell you, this is only the case in Huaxia. If he was in Shianggang, he wouldnt even have the right to speak loudly in front of me.
Theres no need for your involvement, President Li. If we were in Shianggang, I would be able to tten him alone.
Thats why I said that he had the geographical advantage. Otherwise, I would have yed him to death by now.
ng! ng! ng!
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door of the ward and two nurses came in.
Ma Jialiang, your surgery is scheduled for ten minutes from now. Well conduct a final check and then have you sign some paperwork.
Okay.
Ma San said with a smile, being very cooperative.
No one could tell that this person was a hooligan leader.
The examination soon ended. Under the instruction of the nurse, Ma Jialiangs subordinates carried him to the stretcher and pushed him to the operating theater.
When he arrived at the operating theater, Ma Jialiang was not flustered. He often visited these ces, so he was not afraid.
However, he felt that it was a little strange.
In the hospital in Shianggang, after being pushed into the operating theater, many doctors would be busy at work. Now, there was only one, which was a bit strange.
Are you the chief surgeon today? Ma Jialiang asked.
The fully armed Lin Yi nodded. From your ent, you sound like youre from Shianggang.
Lin Yi was wearing a surgical gown, a mask, a hat, and a pair of sses. He hid himself very well, so Ma San didnt notice his identity.
Im from Shianggang. Ill be going back the day after the surgery. Prepare the medical records for me. I want to take them with me.
Theres no hurry. Lin Yi held the syringe in his hand and said.
Ill give you an anesthetic now. The surgery is about to begin.
Alright.
Ma San did not think too much about it. This was the normal operating procedure.
Although he would be anesthetized, he would not immediately enter a state of anesthesia. He would still have to wait a few minutes.
The surgery is about to begin. Why are you alone? Where are the other nurses and doctors?
Im just sending you off. I dont need so many people.
Ma Sans heart skipped a beat. What do you mean?!
Ive already made it very clear. Im sending you off. Is yourprehension so poor?
As he spoke, Lin Yi took off his sses and mask, revealing his true appearance in front of Ma San!
Its you!
Ma San was scared out of his wits when he saw Lin Yi.
You, how did you get here?!
I have some unfortunate news to tell you. Im the president of Lingyun Group and the director of the cardiology department of Huashan Hospital. Of course, Im qualified toe here.
But this surgery is handled by the orthopedic department!
Lin Yi smiled. Do you think its difficult for me to do an interdisciplinary surgery with my influence?
But how did you know I was here?
Ma San dared to challenge Lin Yi because he was confident that Lin Yi didnt know his whereabouts.
Moreover, the hospital was a public ce, so even if Lin Yi had found him, there wasnt much he could do.
But now, in this private space, he wouldnt have so many concerns!
At this point, even if I tell you the answer, whats the point?
At this moment, Ma San really did not want to know the answers.
He only wanted to escape!
He knew better than anyone how ruthless Lin Yi was.
If he fell into his hands, he would definitely not meet a good ending!
Since youre already here, dont leave. Lin Yi pressed down on Ma Jialiangs mouth like a god of death. Also, Ive already given you anesthesia. Do you think you can still leave?
Ma Sans eyes widened. He was struggling and tried to speak!
However, he was helpless. His eyes were soon filled with panic.
An unprecedented fear swept over him at this moment.
Facing Lin Yi, he was really afraid.
He didnt want to die yet.
Li Huaxing and Ma Sans subordinates were waiting outside the operating theater.
Even though he was a busy boss, Li Huaxing still stayed here.
Even though Ma San lost a hand, it would still be very useful to him.
Logically speaking, he had to wait for him.
Its been more than an hour. Why isnt he out yet? Li Xinghuained.
President Li, dont be anxious. It should be done soon. One of his subordinatesforted him.
At this moment, the lights in front of the operating theater went out. Li Huaxing and the others hurriedly walked over.
At the same time, the door of the operating theater was pushed open and Lin Yi walked out.
Li Huaxing and the others were stunned when they saw Lin Yi.
It was as if a fishbone was stuck in their throats, and they could not say a word.
Whats wrong? Are you surprised to see me?
You, why are you here?!
Im an orthopedic doctor from Huashan Hospital. Naturally, Id be here.
Due to Lin Yis identity, as long as he said a word, he could easily get into whatever department he wanted.
But youre not
Cant I work part-time?
Li Huaxings expression was ugly. I have nothing to say to you. Wheres Ma
San? I want you to bring him out!
He cante out. The surgery failed and he died inside.
What did you say?!
Li Huaxing was so agitated that his body was trembling. He pointed at Lin Yi and shouted hysterically,
You were just supposed to put a steel te in his leg. How could it fail?!
You dont understand. Any surgery is risky. Its normal for something like this to happen. Contact the crematorium and have theme over.
Youre spouting nonsense. Youre clearly disregarding human lives and using your position to take revenge. Ill sue you!
Didnt you sign the surgery consent form? You guys bear all the risks. Its useless to sue me.
Lin Yi went forward and patted Li Huaxings shoulder. Then, he whispered in his ear,
You want to fight me with your measly bit of strength? Youre too naive..

After the incident, Li Huaxing immediately called the police.
The police did not hesitate and rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
At the same time, Miao Guofeng rushed over and prepared to deal with this matter together.
However, Lin Yi had already arranged everything.
Before the surgery began, he had already gotten someone to seal off the area around the operating theater.
Therefore, other than the person involved and the relevant staff, no one else knew about this.
It did not affect Huashan Hospitals reputation.
However, Miao Guofeng was extremely nervous.
In modern medicine, the risk involved in a surgery as straightforward as removing a steel te was very small. It was almost equivalent to appendicitis.
No matter how bad Director Lins performance was, he couldnt let the patient die on the operating table.
He didnt want to know what had happened inside, but he didnt dare to question it.
With his status, there was no benefit in knowing so much.
However, Lin Yi handled it very well. He said that there was an unexpected situation during the surgery, and the blood vessels ruptured, causing the patient to suddenly die. This waspletely reasonable, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Even if the hospital had to bear responsibility andpensate the victim with some money, it was nothing to Lin Yi.
He even talked to Li Huaxing about thepensation.
However, what thetter cared about was not the money.
What he couldnt ept and what frightened him afterward was not the death itself, but the fact that Lin Yi managed to kill Ma San in such a manner.
In the end, after more than an hour of negotiation, it was still ruled that Lin Yi would not bear any legal responsibility.
However, out of humanitarian consideration, he still had to pay somepensation.
Didnt you guys want that piece ofnd? Lin Yi looked at Li Huaxing and said.
Lets fight it out and see who can get it.
Li Huaxing snorted coldly. Lets wait and see!
The two of them were standing very close, being less than half a meter away. Lin Yis lips curled into a strange smile as he lowered his voice.
I know that Ma San your henchman. You just used him to do your dirty work. Even if he dies, your heart wont ache since you can find someone else to help you.
With that, Lin Yi paused. But what I want to tell you is that we wee all legitimate and reasonable businesspetition, but if you y these tricks with me again, the next person to die might be you. You have to be mentally prepared for this.
In that instant, Li Hua had goosebumps all over his body, as he had been enveloped by a terrifying aura.
He wanted to retort, but in the end, the words were stuck in his throat and he couldnt say a thing.
By the time he reacted, Lin Yi had already left.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Yi returned to Chaoyang Group.
It was three oclock in the afternoon. After exercising with Wang Ying, he brought Ji Qingyan home.
When will they issue your police uniform? 1 forgot to ask you yesterday.
Back at home, Ji Qingyan asked as she prepared some fruit.
I have to report back the day after tomorrow, and I guess thats when Ill officially start working.
Can you wear the uniform home?
Thats no problem, but ording to regtions, photos taken in the uniform cant be shared indiscriminately.
I understand that; I wont share them recklessly. I just want to take some photos to keep for myself.
Lin Yi did not know whether tough or cry, but he had a feeling that Ji Qingyan was up to something.
The next day, the two of them went to work as usual.
After sending Ji Qingyan off, Lin Yi went to Liang Ruoxus ce.
Seeing Lin Yis new hairstyle, Liang Ruoxu pped her forehead in frustration.
Why do you look like youve just been released from prison?
Dont you think it looks good?
Its not as nice as your original hairstyle.
But dont you think its manly?
Liang Ruoxu looked Lin Yi up and down.
Do you have to rely on your hairstyle to enhance your manliness now?
Damn.
Lin Yi didnt do anything for the entire morning. He stayed with Liang Ruoxu for a while and was chased away in the afternoon under ims that it affected her work.
After leaving Liang Ruoxus ce, Lin Yi went to visit Yan Ci again.
Yan Ci was naturally happy about Lin Yis arrival.
To Lin Yis surprise, the movie that Yan Ci was working on had already started being filmed.
A studio was set up in an office building and the filming was underway.
As a producer and investor, Yan Ci didnt need to do everything.
However, since this was her first movie, she was still busy trying to make it perfect, not wanting anything to go wrong.
Seeing Lin Yis hairstyle, Yan Ci was stunned for a while before bursting intoughter.
Why did you cut your hair like this? Didnt President Ji say anything about you?
Can you stopughing? Lin Yi said.
I think its pretty good. Why do you all show this reaction?
The main reason is that I have a deep impression of your original hairstyle, and it really matched my preferences. Suddenly changing to this tougher look takes a bit of getting used to.
Alright, lets not talk about this anymore. Lin Yi said.
Did you encounter any difficulties? Ill help you deal with them.
Its not that we are free from difficulties, but 1 can still handle what is on my te..
Im relieved to hear that. Lin Yi said.
Lets go and take a look at the set. 1 happen to have nothing to do, so Ill kill time here.
Unfortunately, this is also the only option. Yan Ci shrugged and said.
If you hade a day earlier orter, I could have gone out to apany you, but there are too many things going on today. I cant afford to spend time taking care of you.
Work is more important. Dont think about anything else.
After that, Yan Ci brought Lin Yi to the set and gave him a work pass so that he could move around freely.
Stay here for a while. I have a conference call soon. Ill be done in twenty minutes. Ille and find you afterward.
With that, Yan Ci held Lin Yis ear and whispered,
Ill be done by nine oclock. If you can wait, we can do something else.
Youre a sneaky person. 1 treat you as a friend, but you actually want to sleep with me.
You make it sound like you dont want it, Yan Ci said charmingly.
Ill have you know, Ive recently bought quite a few nice outfits. Whether someone gets to appreciate them depends on his performance.
Once Im through with this busy period, Ill call you. When its time to show certain things off, itd be unjust to hide them away.
Tsk, pervert. Yan Ci spat. Im going to get busy. 111 be back to apany youter.
Go on, go on.
After Yan Ci left, Lin Yi strolled around the set.
Although he had seen them film variety shows in Happiness Vige, the feeling waspletely different from filming a movie.
This was especially true for some intimate scenes. He didnt think much of it when he watched it on television, but it felt weird when he was watching it at the filming location.
At this moment, an unexpected voice sounded.
What are you doing here?
Chapter 1676 - 1676: Chase Him Away!
Chapter 1676: Chase Him Away!
Trantor: End less Fantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Hearing someone speak, Lin Yi turned around.
To his surprise, the woman who spoke was Chen Jingya, whom he had interviewed the day before!
Beside her stood a middle-aged man in a suit. He looked to be in his forties and had a Meddean hairstyle. He looked like a sessful person.
The middle-aged mans name was Cao Heping, and he was in the clothing business.
Although his brands were not famous in Huaxia, his overseas sales were shockingly high.
He was worth more than three billion yuan and was very famous in the fashion industry.
Cant I walk around? This isnt your house.
Do you know him? Why are you arguing? Cao Heping stepped forward and asked.
Remember how I applied for a job at Chaoyang Group yesterday? In the end, I was chased out by this person. He even ndered me for falsifying my education. He was clearly insulting me.
Cao Heping nced at Lin Yis work pass.
Thats unlikely. How could an executive director be an interviewer at Chaoyang Group?
He should have another identity. He must just be here for a walk.
That makes sense to me.
Cao Heping nced at Lin Yi and hugged Chen Jingyas waist.
Ignore him. Theres no need to be angry with such a person.
But 1 dont want him here. I want him to have a taste of what its like to be chased out in public.
Isnt that simple? Ill help you vent your anger.
Cao Heping put his hands in his pockets and shouted at the set.
Who brought this kid in? Get him out of here. I dont want to see him.
After hearing Cao Hepings shouting, the staff at the scene stopped what they were doing.
They looked at the three people who were fighting with each other in confusion.
They did not understand what right this person had to shout here.
What are you doing? Your shouting is affecting our filming!
The director got up from his chair and called out, Get him out of here.
Dont you dare touch me. Cao Heping scolded.
Im Cao Heping, an investor for your movie. If you dont want to film anymore, just say it. Ill withdraw my investment now.
After knowing Cao Hepings identity, everyone present fell silent.
Anyone who had been in the entertainment industry knew that they could offend anyone except their investors. Otherwise, there would be no need to film the movie anymore.
The director walked up to Cao Heping politely.
President Cao, what exactly happened? Tell me, Ill help you deal with it.
Cao Heping nced at Lin Yi.
I dont like this person. 1 want him to disappear from my sight. Get someone to chase him out.
Some of the women on the set looked at Lin Yi and were instantly stunned. They felt that he was even more handsome than the male lead.
However, it was quite awkward that such a thing had happened.
Who brought this person here? Chase him away!
The director shouted, but no one responded, as if they didnt know Lin Yi.
Are you deaf? Who brought him in? Come out!
The director shouted again, but there was still no response.
Helpless, the director looked at Lin Yi. Stay where you are. Dont interfere with our filming.
Lin Yi smiled.
Come on, 1 have a work ID too. How am 1 hindering your filming?
If the investor says you cant stay here, then you dont have the right to be here. Do you really n to stick around despite that?
Im waiting for someone, so Id rather not leave.
Youre quite the character, arent you? You acted so aloof yesterday, I thought you were someone impressive. Turns out youre just a nuisance who cant be chased away, Chen Jingya said.
If you have the time, you should worry more about yourself.
What, now that Im here, you think you can control me?
Whether 1 can or not, youll find out soon enough.
Cao Heping looked at Lin Yi and snorted disdainfully.
Kid, youre quite interesting. I chased you away so openly, but youre still staying here. Im really impressed.
President Cao, stop wasting your breathe on him. Hurry up and chase him away. I really dont want to see him anymore, Chen Jingya said arrogantly.
Wait a moment. I called Director Yan just now. Shes in a meeting and will be here soon. When the timees, 111 tell Director Yan and hell be in trouble.
Thats fine, but when Director Yanes, you have to tell her about my role. At the very least, you have to make me the second female lead.
Dont worry, leave this to me. Cao Heping said.
Ive invested tens of millions in this movie. Itll only be a matter of minutes to get you a role as the second female lead.
Thank you, President Cao.
Why are you just standing around instead of filming?!
Hearing the voice, everyone turned around and realized that it was Yan Ci walking over.
Director Yan, someone provoked President Cao. 1 tried to chase him away, but he is still staying here.
The director looked at Lin Yi and sounded a little impatient.
Cant you see he has a work permit? Why are you trying to chase him away?
I didnt want to talk to him at first, but he had some conflicts with President Cao, so I had to chase him out.
Director Yan, its like this, Cao Heping said.
He had some problems with my girlfriend. I dont want to see him here, so I want to kick him out.
Hes someone i brought over, yet you want to chase him away?
Everyone was shocked. They did not expect this man to be brought over by Director Yan.
So youre Director Yans friend. Then this is a misunderstanding.
Cao Heping knew that Yan Ci had a big shot backing her. This was why she was able to thrive in this industry. Thus, he didnt want to pursue this matter anymore.
But 1 came here today to say something else.
Cao Heping took a step to the side to reveal Chen Jingya.
This is my girlfriend. She has had dreams of being in a movie since she was young and has experience in this area. I want to take this opportunity to introduce her to you and see if you can arrange for her to y a role.
Yan Ci shot Cao Heping a dirty look.
Its unlikely that Ill be able to give her a role. If Mr. Cao came here for that purpose, theres no need to continue this conversation.
Cao Hepings expression changed.
President Yan, no matter what, Ive invested 40 million yuan in this movie.
Are you not even willing to help me with this small favor?
Yan Ci looked at Lin Yi and said slowly,
I dont mind helping you, but Im not the one who can decide the roles. You have to ask him.
What does he have to do with this?
Hes the president of Lingyun Group. Not only is he the biggest shareholder of ourpany, but hes also the main investor for this movie.. What do you think this has to do with him?
Chapter 1677 - 1677: The Hot Blood in the Heart
Chapter 1677: The Hot Blood in the Heart
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
W-What did you say? Hes President Lin of Lingyun Group!
Upon learning Lin Yis identity, while others were rtively calm, Cao Heping reacted explosively, like a turkey in a rage,pletely unable to stay seated.
As a famouspany in Zhonghai, Cao Heping knew how influential Lingyun Group was in Zhonghai!
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was huge even on a national level!
Even so, such a person had actually appeared in front of him!
This was something he had never dreamed of.
Ling, isnt President Qi the president of Lingyun Group? How did he be
President Qi is just an actor. He is the real president, Yan Ci said expressionlessly.
If you dont believe me, you can ask him to prove it to you.
Cao Hepings body trembled. How, how could he prove
Didnt you open a clothingpany that exports overseas? As long as he says the word, yourpany will have to close down in less than a week. Do you believe me?
Hiss
Everyone gasped.
Their gazes darted back and forth between Lin Yi and Cao Heping.
Initially, they thought that Cao Heping was already very powerful. As an investor, he had the ability to influence the casting of the movie. Even the director had to nod and bow when he saw him.
Now that someone more powerful had arrived, he was like a littlemb.
Was this the power of capital?
p!
Cao Heping pped Chen Jingyas face.
Its all your fault! Cao Heping cursed. If it werent for you, 1 wouldnt have offended President Lin!
Chen Jingya covered her face in grievance. Her body was trembling violently, and she was extremely afraid.
1-1 just thought he was slightly influential. I didnt expect him to be so powerful
Chen Jingya knew of Cao Hepings situation and probably thought that Lin Yi was no match for him, which was why she dared to be so presumptuous.
However, she did not expect the man in front of her to have the strength to crush Cao Heping!
Youre still talking nonsense here! Cao Heping cursed.
Apologize to President Lin now, or Ill beat you to death!
President Lin, 1 know I was wrong. Please dont lower yourself to my level.
If I wanted to lower myself to your level, the two of you wouldnt be here anymore.
Hearing this, the two of them felt as if they had been pardoned.
Thank you, President Lin. Thank you, President Lin.
Lin Yi waved his hand impatiently. Go, dont let me see you again.
Thank you, President Lin. 111 leave first. Ill definitely visit you in the future and apologize to you.
After saying that, Cao Heping and Chen Jingya left dejectedly.
President Yan, I The director said fearfully.
He was also afraid.
With this mans status, with just a word from him, not to mention losing his job here, he might even be cklisted by the industry.
Lin Yi also waved his hand and didnt argue with him.
Soon, the film crew began to resume working and returned to normal.
You dont have to think about me. Although hes an investor, I can rece him at any time.
Theres no need to be so calctive, Lin Yi smiled.
When did you be so open-minded?
Theyre all small fries. If I argue with these people every day, 111 die of exhaustion.
Yan Ci noticed that Lin Yi seemed to have truly changed, bing more broad-minded. His vision and perspective appeared to have shifted as well. He no longer cared about many of these people.
After staying on set for a while, the two of them went to a nearby cafe to hang out.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yi left, not wanting to disturb Yan Cis work.
Then, Lin Yi picked up Ji Qingyan and went home together.
The next morning, Lin Yi dropped Ji Qingyan off at the office before heading to the police station himself.
By the time he arrived at the conference room, the other students had already arrived.
Brother Lin, were here.
As soon as she entered, she saw Zhang Zixin waving at him. Zhang Peng was also beside her.
The meetings agenda was straightforward. It began with a speech from the leadership, followed by remarks from a representative of the police officers.
The speaker was a female officer, somewhat of a fan of Lin Yi, though they had interacted little.
Lin Yi spected that her opportunity to speak at this moment likely indicated some connections in her family background. Otherwise, he should have been the one up there speaking.
After her speech, the meeting proceeded to other important segments.
After the speech, there were only some important segments left.
Police uniform!
Everyone lined up one after another and received their uniforms.
More than ten girls were taken away by Gu Yiran to a small conference room to change their clothes.
The remaining boys stayed in the conference room. The treatment of men and women waspletely different.
Lets go, why are you standing at the door? Gu Yiran said.
We want to see Brother Lin change his clothes. We want to see his abs.
Gu Yiran,
Dont mess around. This is such an important asion. If the leader finds out, youll be scolded.
Hehe, got it.
Twenty minutester, everyone had changed their clothes and returned to the meeting room.
Oh my god, Brother Lins is too handsome!
Seeing Lin Yis uniform, more than ten girls eximed in unison, their eyes almost falling out of their sockets.
Moreover, it wasnt just the new recruits. Some official female police officers couldnt take their eyes off Lin Yi after seeing him change into his uniform.
At this point, they understood what real uniform attraction was.
It was too tempting.
Alright, everyone, quiet down. Next, well begin the employment oath, Li Xianghui said.
More than 40 people walked out one after another and stood in the front row.
Just a second ago, the girls were still craving Lin Yis body.
But in the next second, everyones expressions turned solemn.
Looking at the g in front of them, everyone stood up straight, including Lin Yi.
At this moment, he realized that the hot blood in his heart had not cooled down.
Even his life seemed insignificant in front of the g.
A few minutester, the oath-taking ceremony was over.
Everyone returned to their seats.
Because what was about to happen next was the most important part of this induction ceremony.
Allocation of work!
More than an hourter, all the work was done.
There were eleven people left at the sub-bureau office.
Apart from Lin Yi, Zhang Peng, Zhou Xinghai, and Zhang Xinran also remained in the sub-bureau, but they all started out as regr police officers. It was still too early to tell what their future development would look like.
As for the remaining seven individuals, they were assigned to clerical positions.
The rest of the group was assigned to the various local police stations.
On the surface, it might seem like there was no significant difference, but in reality, their career paths were already altered at this very moment.
After all the arrangements werepleted, they were scheduled to start their new roles in the afternoon.
Lin Yi felt that this new job was quite interesting.
During lunch, Li Xianghui took the initiative to sit in front of Lin Yi.
Inspector Li.
Lin Yi, Zhang Peng, and Zhang Zixin greeted him.
The day after, theres a martial artspetition at the sub-bureau.. Are you guys aware of this?
Chapter 1678 - 1678: Did You Bring Any Props?
Chapter 1678: Did You Bring Any Props?
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Competition?
The three of them were interested, especially Zhang Zixin, whose eyes lit up.
I heard some rumors. It seems that neers like us also have a spot to participate in the martial artspetition.
Then we need to send Brother Lin. Zhang Peng said.
Hes the best in our group. Hes certainly more than capable of taking out the guys from other precincts.
Dont think about it. Im just here to inform you. Li Xianghui said.
You three look quite presentable, you could serve as the face of the event.
Are you suggesting I be a decorative piece? Zhang Zixin said unabashedly:
Im perfect for that role. Born beautiful, 1 cant deny it. Im just suited to be a vase.
Stop, stop, stop. Im eating. Dont make me vomit, Zhang Pengined.
Believe it or not, Ill kick you to death.
Li Xianghui smiled. Alright, Im just informing you guys. Lets eat first.
Wait, Inspector Li, Zhang Zixin said.
Isnt there a spot for neers in this martial artspetition? If were all only going to be spectators, who will fill this spot?
Of course, wed look outside, all the other sub-bureaus do the same, Li Xianghui said with a smile.
If we really sent Lin Yi over, I bet hed be knocked down in less than one round. Where would that leave our leaders dignity?
Um
Knocking him down in one round?
It was probably impossible for even Fatty Liu.
Thats true. Those who are chosen to represent us must be experts. If we really go up, well probably just embarrass ourselves. Lets just act like decorative vases.
Youre at most a y pot. Brother Lin is the vase, Zhang Pengined.
Ill kick you to death! Zhang Zixin said fiercely.
After dinner, the three of them returned to their office.
Although Zhou Xinghai was also a police officer, during the meeting to discuss job assignments, Li Xianghui intentionally separated him from Lin Yi, which was a very humane decision.
The head of the office was an experienced policeman in his forties named Zhang Demin.
He was very approachable, down-to-earth, and didnt put on airs, quickly fitting in with everyone.
Brother Lin, there are only four people in our office. We all have the surname Zhang. Youre the only one with the surname Lin. Be careful not to be ostracized by us in the future, Zhang Zixin said with a smile.
One office and three people with the surname Zhang. This is a tant betrayal to the other surnames!
Haha Its alright. Even if youre the only one with the surname Lin, youre still the person 1 love the most.
Although they had officially started work, the three of them still had a lot of procedures and files to go through. Only after dealing with them could they truly start work.
At around three in the afternoon, everything was settled.
Zhang Demin waved his hand and gave the three of them a break. They would officially start work tomorrow.
F*ck, Brother Lin, your conditions are not bad. You actually drive a 570 to work.
Zhang Peng drooled when he saw Lin Yis car, and Zhang Zixin was envious for a while.
Even Gu Yiran liked a car like this, let alone Zhang Peng.
However, Gu Yiran genuinely liked it. Zhang Zixin just felt that this car was very big and domineering, so she thought it was good.
Girls would naturally like bigger things.
At the same time, Li Xianghui came back from buying cigarettes and saw Lin Yis car.
Is this your car?
Lin Yi nodded. Is it too eye-catching?
Li Xianghui smacked his lips. Logically speaking, I cant interfere in this matter, but our unit is a little special. If possible, try to change to a more low-key car.
I understand what you mean. 111 get a cheaper one tomorrow.
Lin Yi naturally understood that he had encountered such a thing when he was helping the poor in Dongsan County.
Its good that you understand. Go back first and prepare well. Youll officially start work tomorrow.
Sure thing.
After work, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group.
When he arrived at the underground parking lot, he found a BMW 7 Series parked beside him.
He looked at the license te and remembered that it was Wang Yings car.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes but didnt go up immediately. Instead, he called Wang Ying.
Are you off work?
What time is it? Im still busy. I cantpare to a big boss like you, Wang Ying said with a smile.
Then can youe down for a while? I need to talk to you about something.
Where are you? Ill head over now.
Wang Ying was different from Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu.
When they were not busy, they were willing to spend time with Lin Yi.
But if they were busy, Lin Yi should just stay where he was and not disturb their work.
Even Li Chuhan would act like this.
In an emergency, she would put the patient first.
Only Wang Ying was different. No matter when, as long as Lin Yi called, she would be at his beck and call, no matter what she was doing.
Im in the parking lot, next to your car. Youll see me when youe over.
Wait for me. 111 go look for you now.
After hanging up, Lin Yi got ready and found a mask in the car. He quietly got out of the car and hid in an empty corner, waiting for Wang Ying toe down.
Ten minutester, Wang Ying came to her car in her high heels.
She realized that Lin Yis 570 was parked beside her car, but he didnt see Lin Yi.
Wang Ying held her phone and was about to call Lin Yi, but at that moment, she felt a hand on her wrist, as if someone had grabbed her.
Just as she was about to turn around, her head was pressed against the car window and she couldnt move.
Dont move!
Wang Ying panicked and was about to shout, but her mouth was covered and she couldnt make a sound.
It was at this moment that she saw the person holding her from behind. There was a special logo on his sleeve.
Now, she was even more confused!
You, why are you arresting me? I didnt do anything.
Someone reported you for seducing a married man. Do you admit to this?
Seducing a married woman
Wang Ying paused for a moment and recognized Lin Yis voice. She pushed hard and broke free.
You brat, are you teasing me? Wang Ying patted her chest. You scared me to death.
How interesting was that? Lin Yi smiled.
Wang Ying rolled her eyes. If you didnt say it, I wouldnt have noticed. It was quite exciting to suddenly do this.
In what way?
Wang Ying looked at Lin Yis car, then the two of them looked at each other, and then
There was no need to say anything
The two of them quietly got into the car. Wang Ying asked excitedly, Did you bring any props?
What props?
Wang Ying moved her body and whispered in Lin Yis ear,
You can handcuff me.
Lin Yi looked around and said with a smile,
I dont have that, but I can rece it with something else

After a fierce battle, the two of them got out of the car one after another without anyone noticing.
Wang Ying went to her ce while Lin Yi went to Ji Qingyans office.
Madam Ji, we suspect you of tax evasion. Pleasee with us.
Ji Qingyan was taken aback by Lin Yis sudden appearance of.
All! They gave out the uniforms!
Ji Qingyans eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yi. She quickly put down the document in her hand and ran towards Lin Yi.
Then, she looked him up and down for a long time.
This looks too good. Ji Qingyan looked like a little sister, as if she couldnt get enough of it.
I now understand that your hairstyle is notpletely useless. Its perfect with this outfit.
I think so too, Lin Yi said.
Although it looks a little simr to a suit, it feelspletely different after putting it on.
The main thing is the difference in temperament, which is quite impressive, Ji Qingyan said.
Its time to get off work. Ill pack up and then we can go home.
Lin Yi nodded and got into the car with the documents that Ji Qingyan needed to handle.
After returning home, Ji Qingyan ced Lin Yi on the sofa.
Dont move yet. Wait for me for a while. Ill go upstairs and change my clothes.
What are you doing? Is there a need to make such a big fuss?
I need to take a group photo. Of course, it has to be done properly. Wait for me.
Ji Qingyan ran back upstairs and only came back down about twenty minutester.
However, her new outfit was extremely ordinary.
She was wearing a ck turtleneck sweater. Although it was a thin sweater, it looked a little inappropriate at this time.
She also wore a pair of ck jeans and a pair of ck sneakers.
Even though this outfit looked good on Ji Qingyan, she still felt that it was inappropriate.
However, there one more thing to note. Her hairstyle had been carefully styled.
But Lin Yi still didnt understand what she was trying to do.
Are you sure you want to take a photo with me dressed like this?
Of course not. Ive yet to reveal the main item. Deng, deng, deng, deng. Its here.
Ji Qingyan took out a white veil from behind her. The material was simr to the material of a wedding dress, but it was only a headscarf.
Ji Qingyan folded the scarf a few times and pinned it to her hair.
How is it? Does it look good?
Lin Yi was in a daze. She looked like a bride.
Its super nice.
Hehe,e,e. Lets take a few photos.
She took out her phones stand and selected the timer.
She posed alongside Lin Yi and took more than ten photos before she was satisfied.
Its beautiful.
Ji Qingyan sat on the sofa happily and directed Lin Yi.
Go cook today. 1 want to show off to Yuanyuan.
Sure.
Lin Yi took off his uniform and hung it neatly on the rack before starting to cook.
On the other side, Ji Qingyan sent all the photos she had taken to He Yuanyuan, showing off her achievements.
In the kitchen, Lin Yi was a little distracted, thinking about something.
She had been with Ji Qingyan for more than two years now.
Under normal circumstances, a couple who had been in a rtionship for more than two years would have reached the point where they should discuss marriage.
However, with Ji Qingyans tsundere personality, she would not take the initiative to talk about it if he did not bring it up.
Unknowingly, Lin Yis chopping movements slowed down.
She must be feeling the same inside, but she didnt say anything.
However, their marriage could not be put on the agenda before Liang Ruoxus matter was settled.
Lin Yi sighed. He felt that he had to think of a way to speed things up as soon as possible.
That night, Lin Yi made a table full of dishes to reward Ji Qingyan.
After the two of them finished eating, they even went to watch a movie and took a walk before going home happily.
The next morning, after sending Ji Qingyan to the office, Lin Yi went to Li Chuhans ce.
His car was too eye-catching, and it was not suitable to drive it to work. Thus, he decided to borrow Li Chuhans Type-R to drive.
Because it looked like a Civic from the outside, as long as no one mentions it, and nobody actually went inside it, nobody could tell the different. People will just think its a Civic worth a hundred thousand yuan. Since this was a typical middle-ss car, no one wouldment on it.
Lin Yi wanted to buy one himself, but his time was short. Another reason for his decision was that the car had been modified by Li Chuhan.
Four AMD pincers and a Ferrari exhaust. It was too cool.
When he arrived at Li Chuhans house, she was already waiting for Lin Yi downstairs.
If you want to drive this car, why didnt you say so earlier? Id help you change the color.
Theres no need. Its pretty good in red.
Ive already removed the Type-R lettering for you and reced it with a Civic badge. Unless you run into an expert, no one will be able to tell the difference. Thats sweet.
Lin Yi kissed Li Chuhan on the forehead.
Im going to work first. 1 cant apany you anymore. Lets talk on the phone.
Go. Be careful.
Got it. Dont worry.
After saying goodbye to Li Chuhan, Lin Yi drove to the police station.
From today onwards, he would officially start work.
However, most of their time was mostly spent familiarizing themselves with tasks, looking at cases, and listening to Zhang Demin talk about his work experience. The three of them listened with relish.
In the past, Lin Yi felt that with the perfect legal system, many things could be resolved ording to logic.
However, after listening to Zhang Demins experience, Lin Yi realized that it wasnt the case.
There were some things that couldnt be reasoned with, and it was difficult to judge who was right and who was wrong.
The saying goes that even an honest official finds it hard to settle domestic disputes, and now Lin Yi truly believed it.
Other than listening to Zhang Demins stories, the rest of the day was spent familiarizing himself with his work.
During this time, Zhang Demin brought Lin Yi and the other two to deal with a car ident.
A drunk driver hit the wall outside the courthouse and died.
Bizarrely, the family wanted to sue the courthouse over its wall, iming it was improperly built and demandingpensation of 860,000 yuan.
Court, WFT???
What was even more bizarre was that this court happened to be the one handling this case.
In the end, it all left Lin Yi bewildered.
It seemed like the system assigned him this job possibly to let him see just how many clowns there were in the world.
After a days work, just as they were about to clock out, another case came in. Lin Yi and his two colleagues went to handle it, and by the time they returned home, it was already past 7 p.m.
Before leaving, Gu Yiran visited Lin Yis office to remind the three of them not to bete.
Lin Yi was rtively calm, but Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin were eager and very excited.
Ran Jie, do we have a good chance of winning this martial artspetition? Zhang Zixin asked curiously..
Chapter 1680 - 1680: The Martial Arts Competition Begins
Chapter 1680: The Martial Arts Competition Begins
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
I dont think its a big problem. Gu Yiran thought for a while and said.
The leader is very concerned about this matter. Moreover, the other departments have produced a few especially powerful people this year. They could easily get first ce.
Isnt there still a rookie spot? Who did you send?
Im not too sure about the details. Its said that hes a very powerful person called Gao Yan. His family is from the northeast and he even won the national mixed martial arts championship. The leader found him and wants him to act as the neer to participate in the martial artspetition.
Theyve really invested a lot. First ce will surely be ours.
Dont be so confident. This is apetition to testbat strength, not bravery. Therefore, therell also be a teampetition. We only have an advantage in the individualpetition, but its hard to say what will happen in the teampetition. Gu Yiran said.
I sawst yearspetition, and it ces high demands on a teams operational capability. Just having strong individual skills isnt enough, so who knows if we can take first ce.
Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin nodded. What Gu Yiran said made sense.
Stop ying with your phone!
Gu Yiran said in a daze.
You talk, and I listen. It doesnt matter if I y with my phone.
Im asking you to get ready. I might need you tomorrow. Be mentally prepared.
Hmm? Im new here. What can 1 do for you?
Your marksmanship is good. It might still be useful in a teampetition. Who knows whether 1 need you or not, but you still have to be mentally prepared.
Brother Li didnt tell me about this yesterday.
I wasnt sure at that time, but we thought of you today. Gu Yiran said.
Because one of the people we have isnt very good. Coupled with your performance during training, weve decided to let you give it a try.
Arent you afraid of taking this risk?
You want the truth?
Isnt that obvious?
Zhang Demin nced at Lin Yi. This young man was a little rash.
Brother Li asked around. The other three teams are very interested in the teampetition and have prepared for it for a long time. Inparison, were a little inferior. Unless something changes, well be fourth.
Then, you want me to take the me. If I lose, its on me. If 1 win, its on everyone?
Dont be dissatisfied. Others dont even get to try. Gu Yiran said.
If you have any objections, go to Inspector Li. He rmended you. This has nothing to do with me.
Lin Yi pursed his lips and did not say anything.
If it was arranged by Li Xianghui, he could not say anything.
After all, he treated him quite well.
Moreover, as Gu Yiran said, ordinary people did not have this opportunity.
Haha, Brother Lin, this is your chance. If we can really use you, you have to perform well. We will definitely cheer you on!
Gu Yiran said goodbye to Zhang Demin and left the office.
Lin Yi thought about it. How should he act tomorrow?
After all, it was quite embarrassing to lose.
The next morning, Lin Yi drove to the location of thepetition ording to the address provided by Gu Yiran.
The venue of the martial artspetition was set in a stadium, but the location was a little remote.
ording to Gu Yiran, thepetition involves not onlybat events but also team cooperation projects, making this location particrly suitable for thepetition.
Upon arriving, Lin Yi found that describing the ce as remote was an understatement.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was deste.
There was an abandoned chemical factory a few hundred meters ahead. ording to Gu Yiran, that was the venue of the teampetition.
This was like a movie scene.
He did not know how they found this ce.
Because it was a teampetition, Lin Yi drove to the entrance of the factory.
Lin Yi noticed several buses parked around, and tents had been set up outside as observation points for the various groups.
There were four colors of tents: red, blue, white, and orange. The people from Xinshan Sub-bureau were all under the red tent, where Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin were also located.
The other three teams were Yuanhe Branch, Taiping Branch, and Baoshan Branch.
Brother Lin!
Seeing Lin Yi, Zhang Zixin waved her hand and beckoned for him.
Thepetition hasnt started yet. Whats the hurry?
No, its because youre set to participate!
Youve really decided to use me? Lin Yi looked at Li Xianghui. Has this matter been decided?
I didnt n to make you join at first, but someone had an emergency and we didnt have a suitable recement, so 1 decided to let you give it a try.
I seriously suspect that youre making me go up to take the me.
ring at Lin Yi, Li Xianghui pulled him aside.
You dont know whats good for you.
Am I not telling the truth?
You know your own level. I dont expect you to produce results at all. Besides, youre a neer. Even if you fail, no one will me you.
Then why do you want me to go?
I want you to use this opportunity to showcase yourself. Li Xianghui said.
If you catch their eye in this teampetition, the leaders will remember you. Itll be beneficial to your future development.
Lin Yi smacked his lips. In that case, I really misunderstood.
Thats why you have to be more serious. Besides, youre a smart person and can react quickly on the spot. You might get a chance to show offter.
Got it.
Li Xianghui looked around and whispered,
Let me tell you, the leader doesnt have much hope for thispetition. He just doesnt say it out loud. So, if theres an opportunity, think of a way to show off. Do you understand what 1 mean?
Li Xianghui valued Lin Yi very much and was prepared to keep him by his side in the future, so he took extra care of him.
Got it.
Lin Yi was a little touched.
After all, this man was really thinking for him.
After the two of them finished whispering, Li Xianghui brought Lin Yi to Liu Guangxian.
Leader, Ive told him all the details. He should be in good spirits.
Liu Guangxian nodded and said in satisfaction,
Little Lin, this is the opportunity that Little Li gave you. He said that your marksmanship is exceptionally urate. Dont disappoint me. Ive bet everything on you.
No problem. Dont worry, Leader.
Little Li, bring him along to familiarize himself with the other team members. Thepetition ising up soon. Let them get to know each other first.
Got it, Leader.
Under Li Xianghuis lead, the two of them arrived at the bus.
There were four people inside. Their average age was around thirty years old, not much older than Lin Yi. They were discussing countermeasures in the car, and the atmosphere was abnormally tense.
When I think of a newbieing in, I dont even have the mood to discuss the battle n. It was originally a 5V5 match, but now, a rookie has turned it into a 4V5-.
Chapter 1681 - 1681: Start with Them
Chapter 1681: Start with Them
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The person who spoke was called Liu Zhihao. He was not tall, had prominent cheekbones, and was a little thin. His face was filled with anger.
If its a 4V5, itll be good. Im just afraid that hell drag us down. By then, it wont be a 4V5, but a 3V5, or even a 2V5.
The person who spoke was Zhou Chenghao. He was a little chubby, and his words were simrly filled with dissatisfaction.
Although Liu Guangxian and Li Xianghui knew that their chances of winning this round were not high, these people had great confidence in their own ability.
As long as they had the right people, they would definitely win this team battle.
Regrettably, one of the team members suddenly fell ill, and they had hoped to find a recement to strengthen the team.
Unexpectedly, in the end, a newbie was assigned to them.
When they heard this news, they almost forfeited.
Since youre here, take it easy. Dont think too much.
The person who spoke had a well-proportioned figure and short hair. There was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
His name was Han Enlong, and he was the captain of this operation. He was in charge ofmanding the team.
Ille up with another n. If were lucky, even if its a 4vs, we still have a chance at victory.
It was clear that Han Enlong was also very dissatisfied with the leaders arrangements. It was just that he could not say it out loud.
Inspector Li is here!
Seeing Li Xianghui enter, the four of them stood up and said.
They were very polite.
Lin Yi learned a little about Li Xianghui from Zhang Zixin, who liked to pay attention to gossip.
He used to be a policeman, but he retired due to his injuries.
He was the one who had brought Han Enlong up. The remaining three were also on good terms with him.
Thus, they were very respectful to him.
Let me introduce this man to you. His name is Lin Yi. His marksmanship is very good. During the assessment, he scored 100 points, so now, the higher-ups are sending him to join you.
The four of them nced at Lin Yi. Only Han Enlong nodded out of respect.
Why do they all have such expressions? Li Xianghui said.
I know Lin Yis standards. Although hes a newbie, hes very talented. Who are you guys putting on a long face for?
Li Xianghui was also a hot-tempered person. He would start scolding whenever there was a disagreement.
We didnt mean that.
Han Enlong said with a smile. The others also nodded in acknowledgment, giving Li Xianghui enough face.
Thepetition will begin soon. Ill hand him over to you guys to discuss the n. Strive to get a good result.
Got it.
After giving a few more instructions, Li Xianghui left, leaving Lin Yi in the bus. He had other things to deal with.
After Li Xianghui left, the four of them returned to their seats.
However, no one said anything to Lin Yi. They continued to discuss the n ording to their original train of thought.
Their discussion was also focused on the original four members. Lin Yi was excluded.
Initially, Lin Yi wanted to participate, but looking at the four, it seemed they had no intention of bringing him along.
At the same time, Lin Yi did not pander to them. He sat on the chair beside them, took out his earphones, and steadily started watching One Piece.
This time, Han Enlong and the others could no longer sit still.
It was such an important asion, yet he was actually watching an anime?
Did he think this was a joke?
Kid, what are you doing? Cant you see that were discussing a n?
Lin Yi took off his earpiece.
You guys can discuss freely. Im wearing my earphones. 1 wont disturb you.
Dont you know this is a team battle?
I know, but when you are discussing things, you arent including me. You based it on the four of you, then afterward tell me its a team battle. How interesting.
Han Enlong could not say a word. He was indeed in the wrong.
However, he did not expect Lin Yi to dare to speak in such a tone as a newbie!
Thats enough, Captain Han. Theres no need to be angry with him. Liu Zhihao persuaded.
I think this is good too. Let him y by himself. This way, he wont be a burden. As long as were careful, we might be able to turn the tables.
1 dont know what Inspector Li is thinking. He actually recruited him!
Calm down. Lets continue with our own matters and strive to deploy a moreprehensive strategy. Its not worth wasting time on him.
Han Enlong snorted coldly. Lets continue!
Over the next half an hour, the four of them went over their battle ns again,pletely excluding Lin Yi. They had no intention of bringing him along and left him to fend for himself.
Soon, the team battle officially began.
The content of thepetition was very simple and practical. The goal was to save the hostages.
Whoever could be the first to rescue the hostage would win!
Therefore, only one team could earn points consistently.
These points were then carried over to the second event, providing a significant advantage in the normalpetition.
Only in the second round of individual events could a team with exceptionally outstanding performance manage to overtake the leading team.
Otherwise, there was no hope.
At this moment, the atmosphere was tense and focused.
The other three teams looked at Lin Yi with mocking expressions.
I heard that someone from the Xinshan Branch got into trouble and found a newbie to take the fall. I really dont know what theyre thinking, said the person from the Yuanhe Branch.
The person who spoke was called Li Ye. He was very tall, being the tallest in the team. He was also the leader of Yuanhes representative team.
Its a tactical abandonment. The person from Baoshan Branch said.
Their teamsbat standards are obviously the worst. They definitely cantpete with us, so they found a newbie to take the me. This way, they will have a reason why they lost.
The person who spoke was called Lu Rui. He looked very young and seemed to be less than thirty years old. He was also one of the captains.
Youre right. Otherwise, it would be too awkward if they lost. Haha
The person who spoke was Zhong Xinhong, the captain of the Taiping Representative Team.
At the same time, he was also the most handsome among the three of them.
Then were all in agreement. Lets work together to get rid of them first and eliminate them early. Then, the three of us will have a good fight, Li Ye said.
Im fine with that, Lu Rui shrugged and said with a smile.
I agree with that, Zhong Xinhong said.
At this moment, Lin Yi and the other five were likembs waiting to be ughtered in the eyes of the other three teams.
They didnt take them seriously at all.
Before thepetition began, the referee gave everyone equipment that could be usedter.
Brother Lin, I just heard Inspector Li say that the people pretending to be kidnappers are from the Zhonghai Garrison. Do we have a chance of winning? Zhang Zixin asked.
People from the garrison?
This matter was quite interesting. He wondered how Mo Hongshan would react when he found out that he was here.
Lin Yi said nonchntly, You cant ask me that. This task is mainly the four of them. Im just a bystander.
Its good that you recognize that. Dont drag us down, Liu Zhihao said..
Chapter 1682 - 1682: Successive Elimination
Chapter 1682: Sessive Elimination
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Just take care of yourselves and make sure no one wipes you out.
Shut up!
What are you all doing?!
Liu Guangxian snorted coldly. Do you know what time this is? The event hasnt even started yet, and you guys are already causing internal strife. Dont you find it embarrassing?!
After being reprimanded, the others fell silent.
Although they looked down on Lin Yi, they couldnt let outsiders treat them as a joke.
Leader, why dont you let me do it? I feel that I should be better than him.
The person who spoke stood beside Gu Yiran. Although he was not tall, his figure was impressive. He was full of muscles. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
The person who spoke was Liu Zhiqiang, Liu Zhihaos younger brother. He was also the person Liu Guangxian had gotten to participate in the individualpetition this time. His personal skills and tactical ability were very good.
Wait for a while. Liu Guangxian said.
After the teampetition ends, it will time for the individual battle. You need to preserve your stamina, or else you wont be able topeteter.
But 1 just dont trust him. We wont be able to win in atheteam battle. If he doesnt listen, the other teams will definitely find a w in our system. At that time, our whole n will be affected.
I know Lin Yis level. If he doesnt have his own advantages, I wouldnt have sent him out there. Dont say anything to anyone. Just do as I arranged.
Yes!
Since Liu Guangxian had spoken, the others couldnt say anything else. They could only pray in their hearts that Lin Yi wouldnt drag them down. Only then would they stand a chance.
Soon, the four teams were ready. Following the drawing of lots, they arrived at the designated invasion location and began the team battle.
At the same time, the leaders of the other three teams walked towards Liu Guangxian.
Old Liu, I heard a little about your situation just now. Thepetition hasnt even started yet. Why are there already conflicts? This is a big deal in a team battle. If things go wrong, it will affect the results.
The person who spoke was called Wei Dalong, the leader of the Yuanhe Branch.
Theyre just discussing tactics. You misheard.
Liu Guangxian also said with a smile. He did not lose his imposing aura.
Then I wish you all good luck. Try to get a good result this year and dont be at the bottom likest year.
Last year we were just unlucky, otherwise it was anybodys guess which of our two teams would end up at the bottom.
Both of you stop bickering. 1 reckon well take first ce again this year. After its all over, Ill treat you to dinner, so you can also share in our good fortune. The person who spoke was Xie Chuncheng, the leader of Baoshan Branch.
Although they oftenpeted when it came to work, they had a good personal rtionship.
Old man, dont be so cocky. Its still not clear who will win today, Liu Guangxian said.
I know a little about your team members situation. Four of them are old people, but one of them is a neer. 1 heard that hes a big white man who just finished his trial. If you send him up, itll be like a iamb to ughter. Xie Chuncheng said.
To be honest, I wouldnt feel proud even if 1 beat you if you really did sent out a newbie.
Old Liu is giving himself a way out. If he sends five experts up, it would be so embarrassing if he loses. If he sends a newbie up now, that guy will take the me if he loses, Wei Dalong said with a smile.
Old Liu, I have to say that you are too sneaky. In terms of brains, the few of us are inferior to you.
Cut the cr*p. I know Lin Yis level. His marksmanship is quite urate. I sent him in as a wildcard, Liu Guangxian said.
You peoples tactical nning is too poor. You cant understand my though process at all. Youll sufferter.
The remaining three looked at each other andughed.
Okay, well wait. Lets hope he takes us by surprise and broadens our horizons.
Well see.
At the same time, Lin Yi and the others had already entered the abandoned chemical nt.
Lin Yi quickly scanned the area and counted three reaction units and four heat exchange towers. The numerous reactors and heat exchangers significantly increased theplexity of the hostage rescue operation.
Follow the n.
After entering, Han Enlong looked around cautiously and then instructed the others.
On the other hand, Lin Yi waspletely isted. After the four of them left, they cast him aside and did not treat him as a member of the team at all.
Under the tent outside the door, Liu Guangxian and the others stared at the screen. The atmosphere was a little solemn.
No one expected them to leave Lin Yi behind as soon as they entered.
Those brats are reallywless. Are they ignoring my words?!
No one dared to speak, especially Gu Yiran. This was all within her expectations.
The few of them had already started arguing just now, so there must have been some conflict between them. In addition, Lin Yi was a neer and wasnt humble at all. There was no way the four of them would ept him.
However, Lin Yi, who was in the chemical nt, was not in a hurry.
He found a safe ce and hid himself.
Apetition like this was different from military exercises. There was no need for confrontation. As long as the hostages were rescued, it would be considered a sess.
Therefore, lying low and quietly developing was not an option, as it would allowed others to get ahead.
It was crucial to ensure speed and sessfully rescue the hostages to stand a chance of winning.
However, if the mission was just about rescuing hostages, it wouldnt be very interesting.
Li Xianghui, despite opposition, arranged for Lin Yis involvement. Frankly, this was to create an opportunity for himself to shine.
For Li Xianghuis sake, Lin Yi had to perform well and make him proud.
Therefore, he couldnt just rescue the hostages-he had to take out the other teams at the same time. Only then would it be interesting.
At the thought of this, Lin Yi looked around and realized that there were many surveince cameras around to make it easier for the outsiders to observe.
On the surface, the cameras covered everything, but there were still some blind spots. As long as he found the right angle, he could disappear from the surveince cameras. No one would be able to find him.
Lin Yis body moved quickly. He moved into the cameras blind spot and disappeared from everyones sight.
Then, Lin Yi looked at the four heat exchange towers in the abandoned chemical nt.
The tallest one was more than 6o meters tall, which he quietly climbed up.
However, halfway through the climb, the radio in the factory sounded.
Xinshan representative team, Liu Zhihao eliminated!
Really? He got eliminated in less than half an hour after starting? What kind of standard is this?
Afterining, Lin Yi didnt care too much and continued climbing.
In any case, he was working with them. He just had to do his job well.
Soon, the radio in the factory rang again.
Xinshan representative team, Han Enlong has been eliminated!
Lin Yi,
Even the captain had been eliminated.. What kind of standard was this?
Chapter 1683 - 1683: Lin Yi’s Counterattack
Chapter 1683: Lin Yis Counterattack
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Under the tent, the crew saw that two of their teammates had been eliminated.
Liu Guangxian was so angry that he wanted to curse.
They had persisted until the endst year, but this year, two people had been eliminated as soon as they entered. How were they going to continue with the exercise now?
Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran also frowned.
They also knew that their level was a little weak in this team battle, but they did not expect it to be so bad.
Not only were the two of them eliminated, but one of them was also the captain. If news of this spread, it would be embarrassing.
Old Liu, you guys arent doing so hot either, two got taken out just from one snapshot, Im almost embarrassed for you, Wei Dalong said.
Dont think I dont know, you guys must have sabotaged us.
Dont talk like that. Even though we are four teams, thispetition is about coborative hostage rescue. Were essentially on the same side, how could we possibly y dirty?
Wei Dalong was right. Theirmon goal was indeed to save the hostages.
However, there was an unwritten rule.
They were to try their best to eliminate the others and ensure the survival of their own people. Only then could they be proud of their victory.
That was why Liu Guangxian imed that they had been sabotaged.
Dont be smug. Although we lost two team members, we still have three people. Its not certain who will win.
At this moment, the radio in the factory sounded again.
Xinshan representative team, Zhou Chenghao and Du Fujiang have been eliminated.
Liu Guangxians expression froze in that instant.
He had just said that there was still hope of victory since he still had three people on his side.
Now, two more had been eliminated in the blink of an eye. Hadnt he just embarrassed himself?!
Xie Chuncheng couldnt help butugh out loud.
Old Liu, whats wrong with you guys this year? Are your people so bad? Four people were eliminated in just 40 minutes. Thats quite impressive. You lose a person every 10 minutes.
Liu Guangxians face alternated between red and white. If this was not a public ce, he would probably have started cursing.
So what if four people are eliminated? We still have one person left. Its not clear who will win.
If I remember correctly, thest one left is a neer. ording to your average elimination speed of ten minutes, he should be out in another ten minutes.
That might not be the case. Ive already said that hes our secret weapon. Maybe everyone else will lose to him.
Then well see. Weve got eight minutes left. Lets see how long he can hold out.
Liu Guangxian kept a straight face and did not speak. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was as irritable as a volcano erupting.
On the other hand, Li Xianghuis expression was much calmer.
He was the only one left in the team. Hested the longest. In other words, he performed the best among them.
Even if he was eliminated now, it could be considered a meritorious service. Thus, his goal would be achieved.
Where did Lin Yi go? I havent seen him for a long time.
Liu Guangxian muttered and sessfully attracted the attention of Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran. They went to the front of the screen and switched between several scenes, but they could not find Lin Yi.
Thats strange. Where did this kid go?
Did he sneak over the wall? Gu Yiran said.
Thats impossible. There are people watching outside the wall. If someone jumps out, even if he automatically forfeits, he would still be in the factory. However, we cant find him at all.
Thinking of this, the three of them looked at each other.
It did not seem to be a coincidence that he could hide himself under such circumstances without leaving any traces.
Moreover, those who could do this were generally not simple characters.
Could he be hiding somewhere without showing his face? Gu Yiran voiced out her thoughts.
Thats a possibility.
Liu Guangxian and Li Xianghui agreed with Gu Yiran.
Lin Yi was a novice whose strengths were his good marksmanship and excellent physique.
Even so, he had not been trained in any techniques or tactics, nor did he have any experience in counter-terrorism.
He couldnt hide himself on the battlefield like a special forces soldier.
The only exnation was that he had found a blind spot and hidden himself.
Its the wisest choice for him to do this. After all, hes not strong and theres a huge gap between him and others. Hiding first and finding an opportunity to take action is the most rational thing to do right now, Li Xianghui said.
Liu Guangxian clenched his fists and thought to himself,
I hope he can persevere a little longer. If he can achieve some results, he would have done us proud.
At the same time, in the factory, Lin Yi had already climbed to the top of the exchange tower.
They say the higher you stand, the farther you see. At this moment, Lin Yi could survey the entire factory from his vantage point.
However, from such a height, the people below appeared as mere dots, making it extremely difficult to pinpoint targets without the aid of tools.
Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Yis extraordinary vision came into y.
Although they were far away, he could still catch a glimpse of the figures below.
On the ground, the people from the other three teams were carefully searching the area.
They werent in a hurry to rescue the hostages. They were trying to drag Lin Yi out so that the Xinshan team would be wiped out. Then, the remaining three teams wouldpete with each other.
However, after searching for nearly an hour without finding Lin Yi, they were getting impatient.
This kid is quite interesting. Hes a neer, so Im a little impressed that he can hide for so long.
Zhu Jinyang from the Yuanhe team said.
Its indeed quite interesting. Captain Li Ye smiled and said.
But dont be anxious. Ive already reached a consensus with the other two teams. Lets get rid of the people from the Xinshan team first before rescuing the hostages. Now, our goal is to find him first.
I like this game of cat and mouse, Zhu Jinyang said with augh.
But dont be careless. The mission this time is to rescue the hostages. The person who is ying the kidnapperes from the Zhonghai Garrison, and his level is very high. If he finds out, we will be in a very difficult situation, and we might be eliminated early, Li Ye said cautiously.
Dont worry. Our route is very hidden. As long as we dont expose ourselves, no one will be able to find us. Even if the other party is from the garrison area, theres no need to be afraid. No one can find us.
BANG!
At that moment, everyone heard a gunshot.
When they came back to their senses, they realized that a smoke bomb hadnded at their feet. Thick smoke rose and quickly covered the nearby area.
Li Ye and the others looked at each other in horror.
The target has been exposed!
Chapter 1684 - 1684: Everyone Is Dumbfounded
Chapter 1684: Everyone Is Dumbfounded
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
They witnessed the sudden change in their surroundings.
The members of Yuanhes team were all stunned.
No one expected such a thing to happen!
Who was the one who threw the smoke grenade?!
Zhu Jinyang roared, his expression looking as if he wanted to eat someone.
Most likely the other two teams.
Impossible! Captain Li Ye immediately denied it and said calmly.
I know Lu Rui and Zhong Xinhong very well. Weve already discussed this. They wouldnt do such a thing. Moreover, the route we chose is extremely hidden. They cant possibly know our location.
After saying that, Li Ye said, Retreat quickly. Now is not the time to talk about this!
Roger!
Everyone responded. If they didnt leave now, it would be toote.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of gunshots rang out as nk bulletsnded on Li Ye and the others, signaling their elimination.
Li Ye and the others were stunned when they saw the nks that hit them.
The other group reacted too quickly.
They had just been exposed, yet they had already been chased here?
At the same time, a faint voice sounded. Gao Chong walked out from the corner with his men.
The game is over. Retreat.
Damn it.
Li Ye cursed. At this point, he could only back out.
After being eliminated, Li Ye and the others did not argue and walked out straightforwardly.
Im still very puzzled. Who exactly leaked our location? Zhu Jinyang said indignantly.
This was because they had made ample preparations before thepetition and were all determined to win first ce in the team event.
Now, they werepletely wiped out before all members of the Xinshan representative team were eliminated. Just thinking about it was embarrassing.
I was thinking about that too, Li Ye said.
Its impossible for it to have been Taiping and Baoshan since were on the same side. Its even more impossible for the people in the garrison area. They came because they saw the smoke bomb
At this point, Li Ye stopped talking.
He thought of a terrifying possibiliyy!
If it was not these people, then there was only one possibility!
Thest survivor of Xinshan team was the person who had secretly shot at them!
It cant be him. Zhu Jinyang said.
Hes a newbie. How could he do such a thing?
But theres no other exnation. We havent been able to find him, and he has a motive for this, Li Ye said.
Theres no way hes new. Have we been deceived?
Thats impossible. The leader has personally confirmed this matter. Hes indeed a newbie who has just finished training. Moreover, hes a big white man.
I still dont think its possible, Zhu Jinyang muttered.
The other three had the same thoughts as him.
He did not believe that a big white man could be so skilled.
Alright, weve already been eliminated. Lets not discuss these things anymore. Anyway, the answer will eventually be revealed. Lets think about how to exin this to the leaders. Well probably be scolded when we go back, haha
Just as they were talking, the factorys announcement system announced that the five representatives of Yuanhe had all been eliminated.
Outside the factory, when they heard the announcement, the leaders of the Yuanhe team stood rooted to the ground. Their expressions were unnatural, ugly, even.
They never dreamed that their team would be wiped out!
Haha, Old Wei, your standard this year isnt that good either. You were actually wiped out. Look at themotion. Our big white man hasnt even done anything, and youre all out withdrawn. Yourbat skills need to be improved.
Liu Guangxianughed loudly.
Stop gloating. Wei Dalong said.
The person who yed the bad guy this time is from the Zhonghai Garrison. Our level is notparable to him at all. Its not embarrassing to lose.
Thats true, but our big white man is still alive. Dont you think its embarrassing that you were all eliminated?
Whats there to be embarrassed about? This is a team battle. Theres a lot of luck involved. Its not embarrassing at all.
Alright, alright, whatever you say makes sense.
Liu Guangxian was happy and did not deliberately taunt to other party anymore. They were old friends, so he knew when to stop.
Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran sighed secretly. Lin Yis luck was really good.
He actually hid until now without being discovered. He was indeed quite smart.
If possible, Li Xianghui really wanted to send amand to him.
Just to keep lying low. Dont even think about rescuing the hostages, but if you could manage to take out all members from the other three teams, that would be a great achievement.
However, things didnt go as he wished; he couldnt actually do that and could only hope that Lin Yi would continue to stay hidden.
At this moment, Li Ye and the others walked out of the factory.
Chief Wei, Li Ye greeted with a smile.
Go away. Youll soon anger me to death.
Dont. I want to ask whats going on. Liu Guangxian waved at Li Ye and said with a smile.
We didnt see what happened inside. Tell me what happened.
Li Ye looked at Wei Dalong, as if wondering if it could be revealed or not.
Fire away.
Although he didnt want this to happen, the other party had already asked. If he didnt say anything, it meant that he was guilty and would lose even more face.
When we were rescuing the hostages, a smoke grenade was fired from an unknown location, exposing our position, and then the people from the garrison area arrived
Hmm? A smoke bomb?
Everyone present was experienced and could tell that there was something fishy about this matter.
Since someone had thrown a smoke bomb, it signaled a new possibility.
It was not the people in the garrison that had discovered them, but someone had deliberately used this method to expose his target and lured the people in the garrison over!
The four leaders looked at each other. Each of them shared the same thought.
Wei Dalong and the other two knew that their teams wouldnt possibly have attacked each other.
Then the problem might be
Haha
Liu Guangxianughed out loud. 1 told you just now that the people I sent was our teams secret weapon. He killed the five of you alone. Do you believe me now?
Stop spouting nonsense. We dont believe that a big white man can be so skilled.
Then give me an exnation. Whats going on?
Facing Liu Guangxians rhetorical question, the three of them stopped talking.
Because there was no reasonable exnation for this matter.
Li Xianghui also frowned as he thought about other possibilities.
Although he thought highly of Lin Yi, he still couldnt believe that Lin Yi was the one who did this.
Moreover, what was his point of attack?
It was too suspicious that no one had discovered where the shot was fired from.
Han Enlong and the other three, who had been eliminated a long time ago, were also at a loss.
What the hell was going on?

Chapter 1685: Higher-Level Tactical Thinking
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The people outside were puzzled. Even so, the battle in the factory raged on.
The people from the Yuanhe branch had been attacked, and they had been wiped out. The remaining two teams now became very careful, and their movements slowed down.
They did not dare to search so openly anymore.
From now on, well split into two groups. Ill take Jia Tao in one group, and the remaining three will team up. Well split up.
Lu Rui, the captain of the Baoshan Representative Team, said.
Good!
Because of the incident just now, they had no choice but to change their formation.
Moreover, he could vaguely guess that it was very likely that the neer called Lin Yi was behind this.
Their mission now was to hide themselves and find Lin Yi. Only then could they be at ease!
Lu Rui and his team member, Jia Tao, carefully searched the field, trying to locate Lin Yi.
Suddenly, a ghostly voice was heard behind Jia Tao.
Dont go any further.
Huh?
Lu Ruis body trembled, because the person who spoke was not his teammate!
He turned around and saw that it was Lin Yi!
The most terrifying thing was by now, Jia Tao was in his grasp!
Obviously, this meant that he had already died in battle!
You!
BANG!
Lin Yi didnt give him a chance to speak. The nk bullet hit his chest.
Youve been eliminated. Bye!
Lin Yi didnt waste any time. He fired a shot and slipped away.
However, when he escaped, he did not leave on his own. Instead, he pulled Lu Rui along with him.
This series of actions waspleted in the blink of an eye. It took less than two seconds, leaving Lu Rui unable to react.
It was not until the announcement that he realized that he had been eliminated.
At this moment, Lin Yi dragged Lu Rui and fled the scene of the incident, disappearing from everyones sight again.
What are you doing?!
Youre dead now. Dont talk.
Lu Rui knew the rules here, and he would not break them. He was just a little angry.
Kid, you really have some skills. Not only did you eliminate Li Ye and the others, but you also killed me.
Its fine. Im just lucky.
Youre quite pretentious. Lu Rui chuckled.
Well, Im toozy to walk, you can carry me out. Let me enjoy it a bit.
Do you not usually watch cop movies?
Whats wrong?
Normally speaking, you would be dead by now, and I wouldnt need to bother with you. If Im willing to waste my energy carrying you, why would 1 possibly bring you out?
Lu Rui panicked. What are you nning?!
Dont ask. If you want to ask, remember you are dead. Dead people cant talk. Damn.
Lin Yi carried Lu Rui to the top of the reactor and found a conspicuous spot to hang him up.
F*ck, youre abusing captives!
Dont talk. Youre dead.
F*ck your mother!
Hmm Stop scolding my mother. Scold my father.
After dealing with Lu Rui, Lin Yi shouted.
Baoshans men, listen up. I have captured your captain. Surrender!
After shouting, Lin Yi used a style that was almost parkour to leave. In less than five seconds, he had jumped down from the fourth floor to the first floor and escaped.
As for Lu Rui, he was hung on the frame of the equipment, unable to move.
Hearing Lin Yis shout, the remaining three members of the Baoshan team looked in the direction of the voice and realized that their captain was hanging on the structure!
Captain, wereing to save you now!
Lu Rui rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart, These tigers have fallen into his trap!
The team members shouted instinctively, instantly revealing their positions.
Gao Chong rushed over with his men and killed the remaining three people! At this point, all five members of the Baoshan team had been eliminated! Under the tent at the entrance of the factory, everyone stopped talking.
This time, they were certain that Lin Yi had done all of this.
However, that was not the reason for their silence.
If firing smoke grenades was a conventional approach, his technique was even more advanced when dealing with the Baoshan team.
Because he had used psychological tactics.
Imagine, if on the battlefield, ones own general was captured and then treated by the enemy in such a manner, it would certainly excite the troops and provoke a counterattack.
However, this would exactly be falling into the enemys trap!
They would be ambushed, and the losses they would suffer would be even greater!
It was unclear whether it was a coincidence or if Lin Yi possessed such advanced tactical thinking.
But regardless, he had brought a more advanced tactical thinking to thepetition.
This was something no one had expected.
Whoosh!
Li Xianghui took a deep breath. Although he was the calm and mature type, Lin Yis achievement showed that he had good taste.
Lin Yi had really be a surprise soldier in response to the leaders words.
Damn it, he had to enjoy some strong liquor tonight.
In the factory area, only the Taiping team and the Xinshan team were left.
Even though Lin Yi was the only one on the other side, it still made Zhong Xinhongs hairs stand on end.
He had eliminated two teams by himself. He definitely could not look down on that kid.
Captain, I think we have to change our approach.
A person named Liu Zengqiang said, We cantpete with that person anymore. It wont do us any good. Lets go and save the hostages first. As long as we save them, well win.
Zhong Xinhong nodded without hesitation.
He was thinking the same.
Previously, they had agreed that they would kill off the people from the Xinshan team first. This was just to increase the entertainment value and make themselves look better.
Now was not the time to care about that anymore. He had to get down to business and get first ce!
After discussing their next steps, Zhong Xinhong and the others became even more careful.
No one dared to be careless. Even their breathing was deliberately suppressed.
Just like that, the silent stalematested for more than an hour.
Zhong Xinhong and the others did not suffer any casualties.
At the same time, they approached the warehouse where the kidnappers were located!
Captain, there are about six people inside. Itll be a little difficult for us to deal with them, Liu Zengqiang said.
The disparity in the number of people on both sides was not necessarily unfair. On the general overview of the game, the robbers had fifteen people, while the attacking side had twenty, so theirbat power was considered equivalent. This is why the three team captains decided to eliminate the members of the Xinshan representative team, leaving them with fifteen people who could alsoplete the mission.
After this blunder, only six people remained, while the opposing side had not lost any members.
Naturally, they would be at a disadvantage.
Dont be anxious. Listen to my instructions. This is not a big problem.
Good!
BANG!
At that moment, a gunshot rang out.
A smoke bombnded at Zhong Xinhongs feet without any warning..

Chapter 1686: You Cant Admit Defeat!
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Just like Li Ye and the others, Zhong Xinhong and the others were stunned when they saw the smoke bomb at their feet.
No one expected the neer to make a move at this time.
I understand. Hes been hiding for so long just for this moment! Liu Zengqiang said.
Lin Yis n was exactly this.
The other two teams had already been eliminated.
The only threat left was the people from the Taiping team.
Therefore, Lin Yi hid in the dark and stayed guard at the warehouse where the kidnappers were located, waiting for Zhong Xinhong and the others toe.
And now, he had achieved his goal.
Seeing the smoke bomb on the ground, Zhong Xinhong and the others lost all their strength.
It was as if they were a balloon that had been deted.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few more gunshots rang out, and all five of them were shot, ending their match.
At the same time, outside the factory, the mouths of several leaders twitched when they heard the news of Zhong Xinhong and the others being eliminated.
They originally thought that they could turn the tide with the remaining five people and save the hostages. They did not expect that they end up beingpletely wiped out.
Seriously, the three of you were bragging so much before thepetition that 1 lost my confidence. I didnt expect you to be so bad. In the end, you were eliminated by one of our newbies. This wont do.
You shouldnt act clever after getting a bargain, Wei Dalong said.
Tonight, youre treating us, and well settle it over drinks.
Bring it on, Im not afraid of you.
Li Xianghui felt somewhat nostalgic; inviting Lin Yi to thepetition today was meant to give him a chance to show himself.
Unexpectedly, this kid actually exceeded his expectations andpleted the mission.
At this rate, even if he could not sessfully rescue the hostages, he would have still performed the best. At the very least, he would be doing his leader proud.
Gu Yiran shared Li Xianghuis thoughts.
Lin Yis performance was beyond her expectations. She didnt expect Lin Yi to do such a thing.
Especially the way he eliminated Lu Rui and the others just now. It was really smooth and shy.
At this moment, the most awkward people were none other than Han Enlong and the others.
Before the start, he looked down on the other party and did not take him seriously.
Unexpectedly, his team was eliminated right at the start, yet this guy not only persisted to the end but also sessfully took down the other three teams. Was this really the level of a newbie?
Old man, dont be too smug. The people inside are all from the garrison area. All of them are skilled and are led by experts. Theres only one person left on your side now, but they havent lost anyone. Its impossible for him to save the hostages. Hell be eliminated shortly, Xie Chuncheng said indifferently.
I know, how can Lin Yi beat fifteen of them alone? But twenty people went in at the beginning, and now hes the only one left. This means that our level is the highest among the four teams. Even if we cant end up saving the hostages Im satisfied.
Liu Guangxian, Li Xianghui, and the others never thought that Lin Yi would be able to save the hostage. As long as he could get everyone else eliminated, he would be considered a sess.
The three of them rolled their eyes at Liu Guangxian.
They said in unison, Shameless.
At this time, in the warehouse of the factory, all the people from the Zhonghai Garrison were gathered together.
Although the person leading the operation was Gao Chong, the realmander was Mo Hongshan.
At Mo Hongshans level, participating in such apetition was equivalent to a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
He was much more impressive, both in terms of level and ability.
However, as representatives of the garrison, the rest of the team did not want to embarrass the garrison, so they pulled Mo Hongshan over to ensure they wiped out the other party.
Brother Shan, dont you think this is quite strange?
The person speaking was Gao Chong, and the dummy used as a hostage was right under his seat.
You noticed it too?
Gao Chong nodded. This guy used us. It wont sound good if word gets out.
From the beginning, Lin Yis methods were different from others.
Li Ye, Lu Rui, and the others wanted to rely on their own strength to annihte the people from the Xinshan team before starting to save the hostages.
However, Lin Yi was different. Although he was confident that he could deal with these fifteen people, he did not do so. Instead, he treated the people from Zhonghai Garrison as a weapon and used them to deal with the other three teams. He was very sessful in doing this.
This was also what Gao Chong was unhappy about.
He clearly had the absolute advantage on his side, but in the end, he was used as a tool. This felt really bad.
Im also very interested to see who ends up being thest survivor. Mo Hongshan said.
When he was dealing with Baoshans representative team, his approach was very in line with wartime strategies. At that time, even I was shocked. He has some skills.
Hes indeed not simple. He probably retired from some special forces before being assigned here. Gao Chong said.
I think we should go out and look around, see if we can find him. Its better to take the initiative and capture him rather than wait for him toe charging in to his death.
Youre right, Mo Hongshan looked around and called out:
Two more people,e with me for a walk. Well teach this guy a lesson and show him the gap between us.
Sure thing.
Everyone responded and prepared to go out with Mo Hongshan to capture thest person.
Dont go. Iming.
The window of the warehouse was pushed open, and Lin Yi jumped in.
Seeing the person who suddenly barged in, the people in the security area subconsciously raised their guns, but they were stopped by Gao Chong!
What are you doing here?
Mo Hongshan and Gao Chong were extremely surprised.
Im thest one left. Arent you surprised? Lin Yi chuckled.
Dont tell me youre a cop?
Smart. Lin Yi said.
I didnt have any missions in Yanjing, so 1 came over to experience life. 1 didnt expect to meet you guys here.
You really cant stay idle. Mo Hongshan didnt know whether tough or cry.
When I go back and tell the old chief about this, hell probably persuade you toe to our garrison area.
You can tell Elder Yang about this, but dont tell Liang Ruoxu, Lin Yi reminded.
If she finds out, 1 wont be able to stay here.
I understand.
Lin Yi looked around and said, Thepetition is almost over. Just surrender voluntarily and dere the end of the match. Ill rescue the hostage and go back to report to the leaders.
That works. Lets do as you say.
Gao Chong picked up the dummy and handed it to Lin Yi.
Leader, we havent even startedbat yet. How can we just admit defeat? If this gets out, itll be embarrassing for us, a team member said..

Seeing his underling speak, Mo Hongshan looked over.
The person who spoke was called Ma Ming. He was a new recruit and looked to be in his early twenties. He had short hair and was not very tall. He had a simple and honest appearance.
You dont want to surrender?
Ma Ming scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Although we have a good rtionship, we should still fight. There are so many people outside. If they see that our garrison lost, wont we be a joke in the future?
Gao Chong smiled and did not say anything. He felt that this matter was quite interesting.
Lin Yi didnt say anything. It would be nice to be able to close the matter, but if someone objected, he didnt mind either way.
Mo Hongshan looked at the others. Do you guys think the same?
We dont want to lose. Someone echoed.
However, only a portion of them agreed.
The other five people stood to the side, holding back theirughter and not speaking.
They were all veterans and knew Lin Yi.
This persons level was not ordinary.
Even Boss Mo wouldnt be his match, let alone himself. If they fought, the one who would lose would definitely be their side.
It was better to just leave and avoid being beaten up. It was not worth it.
Thene on, lets spar. Mo Hongshan said,
The eight of you, step forward.
Yes, sir!
Eight new recruits stepped out.
Mo Hongshan looked at the eight of them and said,
We have a lot of people on our side. Its not appropriate for fifteen of us to go up against one person. The eight of you can fight him together. If you win, at least there will be a sense of achievement.
Thats not very good. How can the eight of us fight against one person? Ma Ming said,
This brother knows the chief. We cant bully him too much.
Its okay. You guys are just training. You dont have to risk your lives over this. This is not a problem.
I think its better not to. Lets fight one-on-one. Its fairer this way.
I think Little Mas standard is good. Hes the best among our batch. He can represent us.
Let Little Ma be the representative. They can just spar since there is no rush.
Under everyones jeering, Ma Ming stood up and looked at Lin Yi.
Brother, lets spar until were satisfied.
Sure, whatever you say.
Lin Yi could feel that the other party was someone who would not freely surrender. Otherwise, he wouldnt have raised objections even after Mo Hongshan spoke.
Everyone stepped back, making way in the middle of the warehouse.
Ma Ming got into his stance and said to Lin Yi,
Brother, you can make your move when youre ready.
The same goes for you.
Everyoneughed as they watched themotion from the side and discussed softly.
What do you guys think of this guys standard?
It should be good, but its hard to say what level it can reach.
Can Little Ma beat him?
I dont think theres a problem. He used to practice martial arts. Boss Mo praised him every day. It shouldnt be a problem for him to beat this brother.
Hearing the discussions of the new recruits, a few veterans sitting at the side could not help but snicker.
It was interesting to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson.
At this moment, Ma Ming moved. He found a tricky angle and rushed towards Lin Yi.
Not bad, you actually practiced Eight Extremes Fist?
For eight years.
Ma Ming said as he attacked.
Thats indeed not bad. Practice well in the future. You have potential.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi shifted to the side and leaned forward.
Immediately after, a solid Tieshan Kao struck Ma Mings body!
BANG!
There was a muffled sound which everyone heard clearly!
The one who felt it the greatest was Ma Ming. He felt as if he had been hit by a truck!
This guy was too strong!
Lin Yis move was instantaneous. It only took one move for him to end the battle.
Ma Ming clutched his chest and groaned. Hey on the ground for a long time without getting up.
This was the most famous and difficult move in the Eight Extremes Fist martial arts.
Even after eight years of practicing, he had not been able to master this move so skillfully, but this guy had actually done it!
How do you feel? Can you still stand up?
Mo Hongshan asked with a smile.
No problem.
Ma Ming grimaced in pain. Brother, Im impressed. Your level is much higher than mine.
Mo Hongshan smiled and looked at the others. You should be convinced too. If you have any objections, you cane up and give it a try.
No, no, no. Were not trying.
Little Ma had been knocked down in one move, so it was even more impossible for the rest of them. Anyone who stepped forward would be beaten up.
Since none of you have anyints, thats all for today. You may leave.
Lets go.
After discussing the oue, everyone packed up and prepared to leave.
Lin Yi and Mo Hongshan were chatting in front. Ma Ming quietly pulled Gao Chong to the side and asked softly,
Brother Gao, where did this guye from? Hes too amazing. Was he in our garrison?
Hes not from the garrison, but dont ask where he came from. Hes from a secret unit, so I cant reveal it to you.
Hearing this, everyone felt deep veneration.
Then will we have a chance to join him in the future?
What are you thinking? Brother Shan and 1 arent qualified to join it, let alone you guys. Gao Chong said.
Dont think about anything else. You should train well in the garrison.
This time, everyone looked at Lin Yi again and could not help but respect him.
Outside the factory, everyone was staring anxiously at the screen.
Because Lin Yi was the only one left, they all wanted to know when he woulde out.
Old Liu, the remaining kid in your team is not bad. He actuallysted for so long, Wei Dalong said.
Didnt I tell you? Hes our secret weapon. This was all within my expectations.
Stop bragging. I think hes just hiding. He hasnt dared to poke his head out. You dont have to worry if hes hiding or not. At least hested until the end. Thats true, but its still meaningless. They have fifteen people left, and you only have one left. The oue is obvious. There are no issues if he loses, but he cant keep wasting so many peoples time. We still have the individualpetition to doter.
Liu Guangxian pursed his lips. What Wei Dalong said made sense.
It was already a miracle that Lin Yi couldst until now.
It was impossible for him to defeat the fifteen people. It was a waste of time for him to try to persevere. There was no need for this.
Little Li, go and inform Lin Yi toe out. Thepetition will end here.
Got it.
Li Xianghui did not say much. The 15 opponents were from the garrison.
He was a big white man. It was already very impressive that he had relied on his wits to deal with the situation to this extent.
Just as the leader had said, if he persisted, it would be a waste of everyones time.
At that moment, the factorys radio rang.
The hostages have been sessfully rescued.. The Xinshan team wins!

The sudden broadcast stunned everyone.
What did the broadcast say? The hostages were rescued?
Everyone was stunned for a while. Zhang Zixin probed,
I think thats what they said.
In other words, Lin Yi saved the hostage?
ording to the rules, that should be the case.
How did this kid do it? He defeated 15 opponents by himself?
I dont know either. Li Xianghui said excitedly.
Hell be out soon. Ask him what happened.
Gu Yiran was also very happy with Lin Yis disy.
However, because the two of them did not get along, she suppressed her excitement.
The conflicted emotions on her face were a little cute.
Bullsh*t. How can one person take down fifteen people? Wei Dalong said.
Are you jealous? You can just say it, Liu Guangxian said.
Its not that Im jealous. The main thing is that its too unlikely. Its impossible for him to be a match for those people in the garrison area in a one-on-one battle. How could he defeat them alone?
Its definitely not a head-on sh. Its a smart move. Liu Guangxian said.
Thats why you have to use your brain for such things. Its definitely not enough to just rely on brute force.
I think theres something else going on here. Well have to get to the bottom of it when wee outter.
Right, its definitely not that simple! Li Ye said,
The guards are very skilled; one of them could take on two of us in a fight.
As for outsmarting them, thats even less likely. Their tactical skills are superior to ours. Its impossible for Lin Yi to find a weak spot in their strategy. There must be some other trick, Lu Rui said.
It was obvious that he was still brooding over Lin Yi hanging him on the tower just now.
You people are just sore losers. Youll know whats going on when theye outter.
Not long after, Lin Yi, Mo Hongshan, and the others walked out of the factory with a smile.
Seeing their expressions, Liu Guangxian and the others were a little surprised.
Judging from the atmosphere between them, they should know each other. Otherwise, it would not be like this.
Everyone approached Liu Guangxian and the others.
Greetings, Chief.
Liu Guangxian and the others saluted.
Mo Hongshans military rank was that of a senior colonel. He was the one with the highest rank among the people present. When they saw him, they naturally had to salute him.
Theres no need for so much formality, I just came by to have a look, Mo Hongshan said to Liu Guangxian.
Your team members are performing well. Keep promoting them wisely in the future, and you definitely wont go wrong.
Mo Hongshans words enlightened everyone.
Chief, do you know Lin Yi?
Mo Hongshan nodded. Ive met him once before. I still have some impression of him.
Mo Hongshan didnt say anything, nor did he expose Lin Yis identity. Otherwise, he wouldnt be able to stay in the sub-bureau office.
I see.
Mo Hongshan looked at his watch. Were done here, so well go back first.
Continue with your martial artspetition.
Alright, Ill send you off.
Then, everyone sent Mo Hongshan and the others to the car and watched them leave.
Li Xianghui patted Lin Yis shoulder.
Kid, youre not bad. You actually have such strong connections.
Its not really a connection. 1 just met him once before.
Thats not bad. We dont even have a chance to meet such a person.
Liu Guangxian walked over and patted Lin Yis shoulder.
You did well today. Ill reward you when we get back.
I wont stand on ceremonies with you.
Old Liu, you guys are really lucky, Xie Chuncheng said indifferently.
If he didnt know the chief of the garrison, he would have been eliminated long ago.
What are you talking about? We won with our strength, okay?
You dont have to exin. If you cant even see this, we dont have to stay here anymore.
Old Xie is right. The two of them have met once before, so the chief deliberately went easy on him and let him save the hostage. Otherwise, with the level of the people in the garrison area, he would have been eliminated long ago.
Yes, yes, yes. Were not convinced!
Li Ye, Lu Rui, and the others said,
You cant win with your true strength.
It doesnt matter if I won or not, since I eliminated all three of your teams anyway, Lin Yi said with a smile.
Stop making sarcastic remarks. You were just lucky. Zhong Xinhong said.
Your true colors will be revealed during the individualpetition.
Im sorry, Lin Yi wont be participating in the individualpetition. Ill be sending someone else, Liu Guangxian said calmly, as if he had expected this.
Thats not right, is it? Theres a spot for a neer in thepetitionter. Lin Yis level is so high. Arent you going to send him up?
Theres no doubt about his skills, but Ive arranged for others to do this to let him rest in the individualpetition.
Hehe Wei Dalongughed.
I think theres something fishy going on.
What are you talking about?
You found someone else to take the spot meant for the newbie. Thats why you arent letting Lin Yi go up, right?
Everyone was well aware of this because this was what they did too.
However, saying it out loud was an entirely different matter altogether.
Stop spouting nonsense. Would 1 do such a thing?!
If youre not guilty, send Lin Yi up in the individualpetitionter, Wei Dalong said.
His level is so high. He should be the one with the highest level among your group. Moreover, hes a neer. Its only right that you send him up.
Thats right. He eliminated all of us. Theres no doubt about his level. Its also good for us to see his true strength, Li Ye teased.
Lin Yi, do you dare or not? If youre not up for it, just say so. Theres no shame in that, Lu Rui said.
You all dont
Leader
Liu Guangxian was interrupted by Lin Yi before he could finish.
Leader, if they have such a request, dont stop him. Otherwise, it will only lead to more gossip.
No, I have my own arrangements. 1 cant send him up.
Liu Guangxian knew Lin Yis level very well.
His physical fitness was superb, and his marksmanship was top-notch.
But nothing could change the fact that he was a big white man.
In team battles, he could win the game by outwitting his opponents.
However, an individual was a battle of true strength. He could not simply take advantage of the situation.
If Lin Yi really went up, he would be beaten ck and blue.
Therefore, no matter what, he could not be allowed to participate in the individualpetition.
Actually, 1 feel that their level is quite average. 1 might be able to defeat one or
two of them and bring glory to our team..
Chapter 1689 - 1689: The Individual Competition Begins

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
You say that our level is average? Li Ye said.
Then lets go up and fight. If you canst three moves against me, Ill consider you powerful.
No problem.
Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? 1 havent agreed yet. Why did you decide on your own? Liu Guangxian stopped them.
Chief Liu, dont stop him. Its just a spar anyway, and he wants to participate. No matter what, we have to give him a chance to show off, Lu Rui jeered.
Little Lu is right. Xie Chuncheng said.
Old Liu, dont stop him. He performed so well. If you dont let him participate, youll look guilty. Theres no need to hide it.
Alright, alright, its settled then. You guys can send Lin Yi upter. Lets have a good fight, Wei Dalong said.
The group did not give Liu Guangxian a chance to refute and jointly decided the matter themselves.
Lets go. Get in the car and prepare for thepetition.
Everyone got into the car one after another, and Lin Yi and the others stayed where they were.
Youre really arrogant. You actually want to go up and fight with them.
Liu Guangxian said angrily,
You havent even trained inbat grappling, and you think you can beat them just with brute strength? What if you get injured? Youre always so eager to show off your bravery, 1 dont even know what to say to you.
Lin Yi knew that Liu Guangxian was doing this for his own good, so he chuckled.
Leader, calm down. Thepetition hasnt started yet. Its still not clear who will win.
Is there a need to even try? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that with your level, you cant participate in such apetition.
Didnt 1 tell you? Its just a spar. Its not embarrassing even if I lose. Lin Yi said.
Moreover, weve already won the team battle, and now we have the advantage of points. Even if I underperform, the others can make up for it. Its not a big problem.
Leader, why not let Lin Yi have a try? After all, weve already won the team battle, and as long as we earn pointster, we can achieve a good result, Li Xianghui said.
Liu Guangxian thought about it and finally agreed.
Alright, go and try. Liu Guangxian said.
But theres one thing I have to make clear to you. If you realize you cant do it, quickly surrender. Dont try to show off on stage.
No problem.
Lets go. Get in the buw first and join the next round.
Because it was quite nearby, everyone quickly arrived at the venue of the individualpetition.
At this moment, the other three teams had already arrived.
Lin Yi is skilled, but hes still a hothead. The individualpetition is a done deal, Wei Dalong said.
Old Liu made a lot of preparations for this solopetition. His overall level is not inferior to ours. Now that Lin Yi is being sent up, this drags down their overall level, our chances of winning are higher, Xie Chuncheng said.
I have to deal with that kid, Lu Rui said. He actually hung me up on the tower. Im so angry.
Haha
Everyoneughed out loud. Alright, alright, alright. Ill leave it to you.
Soon, Lin Yi and the others rushed over and found more than ten buses parked outside.
There seem to be a lot of people here. Could they be the audience? Lin Yi asked.
Li Xianghui nodded. Theyre all students from the police academy. They watched the team battle just now from this venue. Youre probably famous now.
Thats embarrassing.
After chatting happily for a while, the group walked into the stadium.
It was already filled with people. There were young students everywhere, and Lin Yi felt that he himself had be much younger.
Tsk tsk tsk, the audience this time is pretty good, Lin Yimented.
Li Xianghui was stunned. What do you mean?
Lin Yi pointed at the audience and said,
More than half of the students above are women. How eye-catching.
Be serious, this is a public ce. Gu Yiran rolled her eyes at Lin Yi.
Although Lin Yi was very serious, the students below couldnt control themselves.
Hes here, hes here. That 1V15 little brother is here!
When they saw Lin Yi, the girls present started discussing with stars in their eyes.
I find him better-looking in person, much better than in the video.
As expected, the good-looking little brother has already handed himself over to the country.
Not only is he good-looking, but hisbat level is also so high. Ive decided not to be a fan of those celebrities anymore. Ill be a fan of him!
Seeing the discussions in the arena, Zhou Xinghai said indifferently,
Tsk, he won thepetition through connections. Whats there to be excited about?!
Li Xianghui also shook his head. These youngdies were indeed a little crazy.
Lin Yi didnt pay much attention to the shouts from the side. Instead, he observed the situation in the arena.
The participants of this individualpetition could already be seen.
Li Ye, Lu Rui, and Zhong Xinhong would also be participating in the uing individual battles. However, the others standing beside them were all unfamiliar faces who did not join just now.
Lin Yi observed them carefully. From their postures, he could tell that these peoples levels were not bad.
However, judging from the current lineup, it was not difficult for him to get first ce.
After gauging their strength, Lin Yi stopped paying attention to them.
Instead, he cast his gaze elsewhere.
After all, there were quite a lot of beauties. It would be a waste not to look.
Then, Lin Yi observed his side.
Other than himself, he saw two other participants.
One of them was Han Enlong, and the other was Liu Zhiqiang, Liu Zhihaos younger brother.
Other than that, Lin Yi also noticed someone looking at him with hatred.
Inspector Li, whats wrong with the person behind me? He keeps staring at me as if Ive cheated him of his money.
Li Xianghui turned around and smiled.
His name is Gao Yan. He originally wanted to participate in the individual battle, but because of you, he is being forced to give up his spot. Naturally, he doesnt like you.
So thats what happened.
At the same time, Han Enlong and Liu Zhiqiang came to Liu Guangxian.
Leader, is there no room for negotiation? Han Enlong said.
Lin Yi is indeed smart, but he definitely wont be able to survive in the individual battles.
I agree. Let Little Gao do it. I know his level. The three of us are in Team 1. Our level is definitely the highest among the four teams. Its not a problem for us to get first ce. Lets not send Lin Yi.
Sigh
Liu Guangxian sighed and said helplessly,
I understand your concerns, but Ive already agreed with them, and 1 cant change it now, otherwise Id lose facepletely..
Chapter 1690: An Easy Victory
Chapter 1690: An Easy Victory
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Is there no chance at all? Han Enlong asked.
If he really goes, itll be impossible for us to get first ce.
We wont just lose out on first ce, we wont even get second ce. Well have to fight for third or fourth ce, Liu Zhiqiang said.
Dont say so much. Who knows, it might be effective. Liu Guangxian said.
Just like the team battle just now. Who would have thought that Lin Yi could turn the tide and help us get first ce?
1 admit that Lin Yi is very smart. Our brains arent as good as his, Han Enlong said.
But this is an individual battle. Smarts alone are useless. Its apetition of whose fist is stronger. Moreover, he didnt get first ce based on his true strength. He relied entirely on hiswork to join the individualpetition. He cant possibly win.
Even if it doesnt work, theres nothing we can do. Liu Guangxian said.
Dont talk about anything else. Go and warm up first. Thepetition will start soon.
Seeing that the leader had made up his mind, the two of them did not say anything else. They would be stupid to continue pursuing the matter.
At this moment, Li Xianghui and the others stood in front of Lin Yi and briefed him.
Thepetitionter will be a tag-team battle. Well go up one by one until we defeat all the people on the other side. Only then will we be considered to have won.
Lin Yi nodded. Understood.
Although thepetition was straightforward, it was very entertaining and served a dual purpose.
Go for it, Brother Lin, dont lose face even if you lose; as long as youre not knocked out immediately, well consider it a win.
Lin Yi couldnt help butugh and cry, Do you really see me as that ipetent?
You only learned some grappling techniques during training, and even though youre the best performer among us new joiners, theres still a gap between you and these professionals. If we can just hold on for a while, we will consider it a sess.
Alright, thank you for your blessings. Ill hold on for a while longer.
All participants, please take note. Thepetition is about to begin.
Just as the two of them were chatting, the broadcast in the stadium sounded, announcing the official start of thepetition.
After the announcement, the stadium was filled with enthusiastic cheers.
They had been looking forward to this match for a long time.
Life in school was too boring. It was rare to witness such an interestingpetition, especially when it was such a handsome little brother.
The girls present were all unable to fight their thirst.
Soon, the pairings on the noticeboard came out.
The first two teams in thebatpetition were the Yuanhe team and the Baoshan team.
Lin Yis Xinshan team and Taiping team would face off in the second round.
Why are the two of us paired together? Lu Rui asked.
Bad luck, I guess.
Of the two teams, one took first ce the previous year, and the other took second ce.
In the eyes of many people, these two teams meeting in the first round was equivalent to the finals.
The match was filled with suspense and anticipation.
Im really sorry, but please leave the task of teaching Lin Yi a lesson to me. Zhong Xinhong chuckled.
He stole the limelight during the team battle. We cant be careless this time. We have to regain our pride!
Dont worry, 1 seize this opportunity. Ill settle the matter clearly and make sure he has an unforgettablepetition.
At the same time, Lin Yi leaned back in his chair and yawned. Watching apetition of this level was a waste of time for him. It was really not enjoyable.
On the other hand, Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin were watching attentively.
Their eyes were wide open as if they did not want to miss a single detail.
Why are you so nervous? Lin Yi asked.
Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be in peril. 1 need to observe their tactics well, so I can give you pointers when its your turn to go on stage.
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head. He didnt expect Zhang Zixin to be so cautious.
Soon, the first match began.
The first contestant from the two teams went up on the stage.
On the Baoshan teams side, the first person to go up was called Hao Gang.
He had a lean figure, but his bulging muscles made the audience scream. Most of the cries came from female students.
From this, it could be seen that muscr men were still very popr.
Inparison, the Yuanhe teams candidate was much inferior.
The contestants name was Chen Bingyang. He was a burly man with big arms and a round waist. There was no attractiveness to speak of.
The grandpetition in the public security system was different from other contests.
There were no tricks orplications-as soon as the bell rang, thepetition began immediately!
The moment the bell sounded, Hao Gang, using his agility,unched the first attack.
With a loud shout, he kicked Chen Bingyang!
However, Chen Bingyang wasnt just putting on an act. Although Hao Gangs attacks were fierce, his defense was astonishingly good. He wasnt affected much.
For the next ten minutes, the two of them exchanged blows, neither giving in to the other. With their honor on the line, they both hoped to get a good start for their side.
However, since it was apetition, there would eventually be a winner and a loser.
After twenty minutes of fighting, Hao Gang of the Baoshan team defeated Chen Bingyang of the Yuanhe team and won thepetition.
Hao Gangs victory boosted the morale of the Baoshan team.
Lu Rui smiled and said, Old Li, Im really sorry. We won the first round.
Its just one match. Its nothing. The next match will actually matter.
Soon, the second match began.
Judging from the first match, everyone thought that it would be a close match.
Firstly, Hao Gang had expended too much energy in the first round.
The Yuanhe representative team, in order to stop their losing momentum, would not rx, so the battle was sure to be intense, or it might even be a one-sided situation.
However, the results of the subsequentpetition were shocking.
After Hao Gang won the first match, he defeated another opponent and won the second match for the Baoshan team.
However, in the third match, Hao Gang was defeated and quickly lost the match.
However, when the second contestant stepped up, he disyed absolute dominance and directly KO-ed Li Ye. His strength was obvious!
This result made the audiences blood boil.
To them, there was no longer any suspense to the individualpetition. The final winner would definitely be Yuanhes team.
Old Li, Im really sorry that I identally destroyed you, Lu Rui said.
Kid, dont act innocent after taking advantage of me. Li Ye panted heavily and said.
Howe this guy named Sui Yazhou is so skilled?
Hes newly transferred. He used to serve in a confidential unit, and hes quite proficient.
Is he from the Special Operations Brigade?
Smart.
Well, its no shame losing to him, Li Ye said.
But I think, your level probably isnt as good as his.
Dont underestimate me. Ive been training hard for over a year, and Ive improved a lot. Sui Yazhou is no match for me..
Chapter 1691: Don’t forget to seduce young ladies
Chapter 1691: Dont forget to seduce youngdies
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Hearing this, Li Ye was shocked.
Are you serious? Youre better than Sui Yazhou?
Why would I lie to you? Lu Rui said proudly.
If I didnt have the skills, our leader wouldnt have ced mest.
But 1 know your level very well. Last year, the two of us were evenly matched.
How did you improve so much in the past year?
Dont forget that Im a few years younger than you. Thats an advantage.
What kind of reason is that? Tell me quickly, where did you train?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Heavens secrets must not be revealed.
Damn, youre the worst.
Lu Rui was exceptionally pleased with himself. It was not that he was stingy, but it was mainly because there were some things he couldnt openly talk about.
In the past year, he had met an old master who had taught him many things.
And these things were the key to exerting force in the dantian.
It was precisely because of this that his level had increased greatly in just a year.
At the same time, the four leaders sitting in the judging panel had different expressions.
Old Wei, thank you for letting me win, Xie Chuncheng said calmly.
Having been beaten 2V3, Wei Dalongs expression naturally did not look good. He could only reply indifferently,
Take it easy. Even if you beat us, it doesnt mean that the championship is yours. Theres still Old Fu and Old Liu behind you.
Oh, if you didnt tell me, I would have forgotten about Old Liu.
Xie Chuncheng looked at Liu Guangxian and said,
Old Liu, youve seen our strength. Do you think you still have hope?
Hmph, its just a small trick. Lets wait and see!
We can wait to talk about the results, but youd better remind your team members not to be beaten down by Old Fu and the others. Otherwise, they wont be able to fight us.
Im afraid the two of you will not be able to fight. Fu Jianguo said.
I dont think Old Liu and the others will be able to get past us.
Thats true. After all, he brought a big white man with him. His overall level is definitely not great. Xie Chuncheng said,
After all, not everyone is as good as Sui Yazhou.
But your three teams were all eliminated by a big white man in the end. Im too embarrassed to even bring it up.
You guys relied on your connections to win a teampetition. Whats there to be arrogant about? Xie Chuncheng said.
If you can win the individualpetition, Ill give you the bottle of ginseng wine I brewed at home.
You said it yourself. Dont try to deny it when the timees.
Liu Guangxian also knew that he could not win, but he could not afford to lose momentum at the moment.
Well see.
After resting for about ten minutes, the second match officially began.
Our luck this year is really good. We actually drew Old Han and the others. Looks like we can easily advance in thispetition. Zhong Xinhong said.
You two watch closely. Well try to sweep them 1V3.
How could you win 1V3? They still have Dabai. At most, itll be 1V2. Lu Rui teased.
But you guys are really lucky. This way, you can save a lot of stamina. When you fight with us, you will have a slight advantage.
It cant be helped. The heavens are on our side.
Compared to the rxed atmosphere on the other side, the atmosphere on the Xinshan teams side was a little solemn.
Captain Han, its our turn to go on stage. Who wants to go first?
Lets aim for third ce and fight for second, Han Enlong said:
You go first, try to knock out one, then wear down their second yer, and leave the rest to me.
Cant we push a bit harder?
If Gao Yan were going up, definitely, but not now, Han Enlong exined,
If you have any ideas, you can go to the leader.
Id rather not.
Then forget aboutpeting for first ce, Han Enlong concluded.
Youve seen the people from Baoshan. Sui Yazhou is extraordinarily strong.
Even if we have all our people, we might not be their match. Dont even think about getting first ce.
Fine.
On the other side, Zhong Xinhong looked at his team members and said,
Little Kong, go ahead. But you have to be gentle. Just knock them down. Dont hurt them.
Little Kongs full name was Kong Liancheng. His boxing skills were top-notch, and even veteran police officers were not his match.
Zhong Xinhong had also taken a fancy to this point, which was why he had recruited him.
Kong Liancheng sneered. 111 try my best to hold back, but if anything unpleasant happens, dont me me.
Hearing this, the teamughed out loud.
Kid, youre just young and impetuous. You want to show off by fighting IV3.
Kong Lianchengughed. If it were any other team, I wouldnt dream of it.
Who asked the other party to be too weak? With my strength, its difficult for me not to do even a IV5.
Haha Lets use them to warm up.
The first match, Taiping Teams Kong Liancheng vs. Xinshan Teams Liu Zhiqiang. The match begins!
After the broadcast ended, Kong Liancheng strolled onto the arena inrge strides.
His face was filled with anticipation. This was a good opportunity to win IV3. He could not miss it.
On the other hand, Liu Zhiqiang was also extremely excited.
The Xinshan team was rankedst every year. If he could defeat them today, he would be the greatest contributor!
Liu Zhiqiang stood on the stage and hooked his finger at Kong Liancheng. He said confidently,
Kid, are you going to roll down on your own, or should 1 beat you down?
Kong Lianchengughed out loud. Did you take the wrong medicine? You actually said that you want to beat me?
You dont think its possible?
Haha, are you guys gone crazy from how badly you want to win? Dream on.
Since you wont drink a toast, you must drink a forfeit. 111 just have to knock you down!
With that said, Liu Zhiqiang charged forward aggressively, his moves clearly those of a trained fighter.
When Kong Liancheng took his stance, Lin Yi was surprised, Oh, hes trained in Muay Thai.
Lin Yi said as he munched on the melon seeds.
Zhang Zixin had been focused on watching thepetition. When she heard Lin Yi speak, she asked,
Brother Lin, where did you get the melon seeds?
Lin Yi pointed at the female students behind him. They gave it to me.
Gu Yiran was speechless.
This guys nature was really hard to change. He didnt forget to seduce youngdies no matter where he went.
Brother Lin, who do you think will win? Zhang Zixin snatched some melon seeds and asked curiously.
Its hard to say, but that Kong Liancheng is indeed quite powerful, Lin Yi said casually.
You mean he can win?
Not necessarily. Lin Yi said.
Liu Zhiqiang has the advantage in strength, so the skill level between the two isnt much different. Whats left is a battle of wits. Whoever is smarter, more experienced, will win..
Chapter 1692: A Tragic Victory
Chapter 1692: A Tragic Victory
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Are you serious? Brother Lin, your level is pretty good. You can even see that, Zhang Zixin said.
Nonsense.
Youre such a bad person. You even fooled me.
Just as the two of them were chatting, the situation in the arena changed.
Kong Liancheng, who seemed to be brave and invincible, gradually fell into a disadvantage under Liu Zhiqiangs attack.
His initial active attack turned to a passive defense.
In the end, he was kicked off the arena by Liu Zhiqiang!
How could this be?!
Fu Jianguo and Zhong Xinhong eximed in unison.
In their opinion, with Kong Lianchengs level, let alone defeating Liu Zhihao, it was even possible for him to win 1V3.
How could he be knocked off the stage by the first contestant?
Whats impossible about that? Dont underestimate our people. Liu Guangxian said calmly.
Unlike team battles, he was very confident in the individualpetition.
He and Han Enlong had been carefully selected. Their levels were also top-notch.
Although it was risky, there was still some hope for them to win 2V3.
Old Zhong, your contestants this year arent that good. How did they get beaten by the Xinshan team? Lu Rui said with a smile.
Zhong Xinhongs expression was ugly as he said indifferently,
People make mistakes. Horses stumble. Thats normal. Well get our pride back in the next round. Then well beat them one-on-three.
You guys have to work harder. If youre eliminated by the Xinshan team, itll be embarrassing.
How can that be? Zhong Xinhong said confidently.
I can beat all three of them by myself.
Soon, the second match began.
The second member of the Taiping team was called Huo Tiai. His appearance was also very ordinary and nothing special, but his expression was abnormally serious. Ever since he went on stage, the expression on his face had not changed, looking fiercely determined.
On the other hand, Liu Zhiqiangs situation was not very good.
Kong Liancheng was very strong. He had won the first round and expended a lot of energy. Even after resting for a while, he still did not recover.
He also knew that it was impossible for him to defeat Huo Tiai.
His biggest mission was to wear him down and create as many opportunities as possible for Captain Han.
Otherwise, there would be no way to win 2V3.
The bell rang in the arena, and the second match between the two teams began.
From the beginning, Huo Tiai began attacking Liu Zhiqiang fiercely.
He seemed to be confident that he would win.
In the beginning, everyone thought that Liu Zhiqiang would be defeated very quickly, but they did not expect him tost for a full 20 minutes. He was beaten until his face was swollen and bruised before he left the arena.
Old Liu, how do you feel? Do you need me to send you to the hospital? Li Xianghui asked.
No need, its fine. Its just superficial damage. 111 be fine after resting for a few days. Liu Zhiqiang gritted his teeth and said.
But that kid is really ruthless. Hes an expert. If only 1 couldst a little longer.
Its already very good that you canst for so long. Li Xianghui patted Liu Zhiqiang. Youve already defeated one opponent before this. Even if you lose this round, its still an honorable loss.
Thank you, Inspector Li.
Take care of yourself. Ill handle the remaining two rounds.
Captain Han, 111 leave the rest to you. Liu Zhiqiang said.
You have to get third ce no matter what.
I know!
In their eyes, this was their only chance.
If he won, they would be able to get third ce at the very least!
They had to fight for it!
After a simple ten-minute break, Han Enlong went on stage with a dark expression. The third match began.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows as he watched thepetition. He realized that he had underestimated Han Enlong.
His level was much better than he had imagined.
Although Huo Tiai was very strong, he still retreated in defeat when facing Han Enlong.
Other than defending passively, there was nothing else he could do.
Of course, there was a reason for this. However, this also reflected Han Enlongs strength.
Without any suspense, Han Enlong won the third match.
He did not use much energy either. It could be said that he had advanced without any injuries.
Fu Jianguo on the stage did not look pleased.
He had thought that with the strength of his team, even if not facing a 1V3 situation, managing a 2V3 should have been effortless.
Unexpectedly, Liu Guangxians team entered the final round in almost perfect condition.
Even though he ultimately won, the battle being so closely contested was something he could not ept.
Old Fu, whats going on with you guys this year? To have struggled to this extent, your performance has seriously deteriorated. You need to seriously train when you get back.
Indeed, these guys must have cked off this year. I have to teach them a lesson when 1 get back, Fu Jianguo said.
Theyve already defeated two, and youre on your third man. If this gets out, it wont sound good, Xie Chuncheng said gloatingly.
Lin Yi is a big white guy; its just that hes quick on his feet. In an individualpetition, its apetition of strength. He definitely wont be able to survive. As long as we defeat Han Enlong, well win this match.
In Fu Jianguos opinion, the winner of thispetition would definitely be his team.
However, the problem was Lin Yi. He was a big white man, and his level was negligible.
If their third person was someone with a higher level, it would not be clear if they could win.
Fu Jianguos thoughts were also what the others were worried about.
In the eyes of Gu Yiran and the others, this match was thest match.
If Han Enlong could win, victory would definitely be his.
However, if Zhong Xinhong won, it would be useless even if Lin Yi was left on their side.
Therefore, this was thest round!
At this moment, the broadcast in the venue sounded. The fourth match begun.
After thepetition began, neither of them held back. They poured all their pent-up anger into their fists.
It could be said that each punch struck flesh, and no one showed mercy.
Lin Yi observed carefully. The two of them were evenly matched. Both of them had a chance of winning, but the final victor would be decided through luck and willpower.
After more than 40 minutes, the final oue was finally revealed.
Han Enlong defeated Zhong Xinhong by a narrow margin and won the entire game!
The Xinshan team cheered enthusiastically, including the audience on the sidelines. They were not stingy with their enthusiasm.
They cheered loudly for them!
However, Han Enlongs condition was not very good either. He seemed to be in a worse state than Liu Zhiqiang.
Whether or not he could participate in the uingpetition was also thrown into question.
The oue of the individualpetition seemed to have been decided at this moment..

Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran had already expected this.
Han Enlong and Liu Zhiqiang had already lost theirbat strength.
Even if they could join the next round, they would be easily defeated.
Without a doubt, first ce in the individualpetition would definitely go to the Baoshan team.
This was because none of their members had been injured in battle. They had practically maintained their peak state. At this point, it was difficult for them to lose even if they wanted to.
You made us fight a 2V3. Im embarrassed. Liu Guangxian said with a smile.
Tonight is on me. You can order whatever you want.
Fu Jianguos expression was extremely ugly. This match could be said to be a great humiliation to him.
Dont be smug. Theres still a match toe. Both of your members are injured, and theres only one big white man left. Hell ensure Old Xie and the others win 1V3.
That doesnt matter. Im already satisfied with this.
Liu Guangxian was telling the truth.
If Gao Yan had been sent up, this match would not have been so miserable.
They might have even put up a fight against Team Baoshan.
At this point, doing this was impossible. Lin Yisbat strength was limited, and it would be a waste for him to even try.
He was already very satisfied with his current results. After all, they were still the champions of the teampetition. Even if they did not get first ce, this oue was very good.
Look at how this turned out. 1 was hoping to showcase our skills and strength during the individualpetition. Now, your team cant even participate, and Ive ended up with first ce by default. Its almost embarrassing for me.
You old brat, dont pretend to be innocent after taking advantage of me. Fu Jianguo said.
Dinner tonight is on you.
No problem, Ill definitely treat the three of you well. After all, its the first ce, we should celebrate generously.
The three of them rolled their eyes in unison, very much wanting to kick him.
The first round of thepetition ended, and there was a half-hour break in between.
Li Xianghui looked at Han Enlong and Liu Zhiqiang.
Thepetition will end here. Later on, you guys can go on stage and fight a bit before admitting defeat. Theres no need to strain yourself. Its not like you can win a house or somend. This is enough.
Got it, Inspector Li.
The two of them also knew their own condition. Now was not the time to show off. There was no need to take it so seriously.
After resting for about 30 minutes, the second stage of thepetition began. At this moment, the broadcast sounded.
The first match of the second stage begins. Please wee the members of the Baoshan team and the Xinshan team.
Ill go up first, Inspector Li, Liu Zhiqiang said.
Li Xianghui nodded. Dont forget what I told you just now. Dont overdo it.
I remember.
Soon, Liu Zhiqiang and Hao Gang from the Baoshan team stood on the stage.
This time, the atmosphere was no longer tense. The two of them greeted each other amicably and started thepetition.
A few minutester, the two of them had exchanged more than ten moves. Liu Zhiqiang signaled for himself to leave the stage and not fight anymore.
There was a 10-minute break, after which, Han Enlong also entered the arena.
Just like before, after about ten moves, the second match ended.
At this moment, the Baoshan team let out enthusiastic cheers, celebrating their victory in thepetition.
Thepetition is over, and 1 took first ce without any suspense. This is the third time now. You three always push hard, but I keep taking first ce, which is almost embarrassing for me.
Kid, youre just taking advantage of us. The three of us will drink you to death tonight, Wei Dalong said.
Anytime. Lets see who falls in the end.
Later.
At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.
Whats going on? 1 havent even gone on stage yet. Why does it look like thepetition has ended?
Hearing Lin Yis words, everyones gazesnded on him.
Lu Rui of the Baoshan team said,
I understand your situation. Youre a novice. You havent received any thoroughbat training. Do you still want toe up and fight?
No matter what, Im one of the participants. You have to give me a chance to participate.
Thats for sure. ording to the rules of thepetition, you have toe up, but it wont affect the oue. Dont have any fantasies.
That will have to wait until I go up there.
Youre right. Come on up now. Well celebrateter.
Li Xianghui patted Lin Yis shoulder.
What I said to them just now also applies to you. Just go up and spar. Dont hurt yourself.
At least Im at my peak now. You should give me some confidence. Why are you giving up? Lin Yi smiled.
Im not giving up. 1 know your level very well. Li Xianghui said.
This years Baoshan representative team is ridiculously strong. Even if all of us fight, we might not be their match, let alone you by yourself.
Alright, 111 do my best.
Im d to hear it.
Soon, the third match began. Lin Yi and Hao Gang walked onto the stage.
Seeing Lin Yi go on stage, the girls at the side cheered loudly, cheering for him.
This included Zhang Zixin.
Be quiet, it will put pressure on him. Gu Yiran said.
Pressure?
The more you cheer, the greater the pressure he will be under. He wont surrender so easily. If he really tries to fight with Hao Gang, hell be the one to suffer.
Hearing Gu Yirans words, Zhang Zixin and Zhang Peng understood her intentions. They immediately stopped cheering for Lin Yi.
In the arena, Hao Gang stretched and said,
Brother, I think you should give up. If I lose control and hit your face, youll be disfigured.
Its fine. Dont worry and fight boldly. Dont overthink it.
Then 1 wont hold back. Hao Gang crooked his finger at Lin Yi. If youre ready, you can start.
Good!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi rushed in front of Hao Gang and kicked him!
All!
Screams could be heard. Everyone was shocked to see that Hao Gang had been kicked out of the stage.
At this moment, the huge stadium was silent. No one dared to breathe loudly!
After about a minute, everyone finally realized what was going on!
Hao Gang lost!
Moreover, the other party only used one move to insta-kill him!
How was this possible?!
At this moment, even the judge was dumbfounded.
Things ended so quickly?
It didnt even take a second to end!
This was too damn fast.
Xie Chunchengs expression was sluggish, as if he was stunned.
What had just happened?
Originally, he was waiting for Hao Gang toplete the IV3.
Why was he beaten as soon as they started?
Hao Gang, who was lying below the stage, said to Lin Yi,
You tricked me!
Chapter 1694: One Kick, One Victory
Chapter 1694: One Kick, One Victory
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Hearing Hao Gangs protest, Xie Chuncheng also said to the referee,
The results of this match dont count. He did a sneak attack on our team member!
Lin Yi smiled helplessly. Its your people who said that I can attack when Im ready. How can it be considered a sneak attack?
Well
Xie Chuncheng and Hao Gang felt awkward.
This was because Hao Gang had indeed said this.
Although the two sides were arguing, Li Xianghui, Gu Yiran, and the others were still stunned.
They still couldnt ept the fact that Lin Yi had defeated Hao Gang in a second.
Especially Liu Zhiqiang. He had just fought with Hao Gang and knew his level very well.
How high was his level to be able to do this in just one second?
This Lin Yi kid is good. Could he have trained before? Why didnt I notice it before?
Although she had a grudge against Lin Yi, Gu Yiran also felt that what happened just now was not a coincidence.
With Hao Gangs skill level, it was impossible for others to beat him with a sneak attack.
Lets wait until the next match.
At the same time, the three people on the stage looked at Liu Guangxian, as if they wanted to know what was going on.
Thetter shrugged. Ive already said that hes a secret weapon. He should believe me now.
Dont be so smug, kid. You said just now that you didnt have any hope for Lin
Yi. Now, he beat my man in one move. Whats going on?
Actually, I didnt know that Lin Yi had such a high level. Liu Guangxian regained hisposure and forcefully suppressed his excitement.
But dont take it to heart. We just took a round against you. Dont make a fuss.
Its all part of the game.
Tsk, our second contestant is Sui Yazhou. Youve seen his level. Lin Yi is not his match!
Well see.
Liu Guangxian clenched his fists and prayed in his heart that Lin Yi would surprise him again!
In the resting area of the Baoshan team, Sui Yazhou stood up.
Little Hao, dont be discouraged. Ill avenge you.
Damn it, we have to teach him a lesson, Hao Gang said.
I wanted to win 1V3, but he ruined it.
You were too careless. If you were more serious, you wouldnt have ended up like this. Sui Yazhou patted the dust on his body and said with a smile.
Its up to me to take this round.
With that, Sui Yazhou walked up to the ring.
When they saw Sui Yazhou, everyone could not help but break out in cold sweat.
He was the one who defeated the captain of the Yuanhe representative team in a 1V2 just now. Moreover, he did not even break a sweat.
His level was definitely not ordinary!
I saw a glimmer of hope, but its gone now. This big guy is not easy to deal with, Zhang Zixin said.
Of course. Even if Sui Yazhou stands still and lets him hit him, he wont be able to win.
Discussions broke out below the stage, but the atmosphere in the arena was extremely rxed.
Lin Yi and Sui Yazhou didnt look flustered at all. It was as if they were here to drink tea and chat.
Sui Yazhou sneered at Lin Yi and said in a low voice,
Lin Yi, I advise you not to have any ideas. You cant possibly sneak up on me. Sneak up on you?
Little Kong fell for your trick because he was careless. But now that Im here, you wont get the same opportunity.
Everyone knows how to brag. In the end, we still have to rely on our strength. Youre right. Lets fight it out! After Sui Yazhou finished speaking, he said to the referee,
Hurry up and announce the start of thepetition. I cant wait any longer. Baoshan representative team versus Xinshan representative team, the fourth match begins!
Sui Yazhou was already warming up. After thepetition began, he rushed towards Lin Yi.
In the eyes of others, Sui Yazhou was like a mountain of flesh.
When he ran, it was as if the entire stadium was trembling, making the crowd subconsciously hold their breaths!
Lets see how many of my moves you can endure!
Suddenly, a huge fist flew toward Lin Yi!
F*ck, this punch will make him vomit blood, Zhang Zixin said.
Be content with what you have. Its considered a light punishment for him to be beaten until he vomits blood, Zhang Peng said.
In the stands, Xie Chuncheng said to Liu Guangxian,
Old Liu, Im really sorry. Sui Yazhou didnt hold back. Please dont mind if he hurts your member.
Liu Guangxians expression did not change as he said calmly,
Youre the one who should be careful. Lin Yis skills arent for show.
Well see.
In the ring, Sui Yazhous fist was less than half a meter away from Lin Yi.
Even so, Lin Yi still didnt feel nervous at all. He didnt care about his opponent at all.
All!
The sudden scream shocked everyone.
Everyone widened their eyes because the scream came from Sui Yazhou!
Lin Yis huge hand grabbed Sui Yazhous fist tightly. With just one move, he blocked Sui Yazhous attack!
Sui Yazhous eyes widened as he broke out in a cold sweat.
He felt as if his hand was being gripped by a pair of pliers!
No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free!
With your level, it doesnt seem like he can defeat me.
Lin Yi was obviously not that interested in thispetition.
Before anyone could react, Sui Yazhous huge body was kicked away.
It was as if Lin Yi had not used any strength at all.
Seeing this, the audience present sucked in a cold breath.
H-how is this possible?!
That guy weighs at least 200 pounds. How could he be dealt with so easily?
The people below the stage were in an uproar!
No one could have imagined such an oue!
If in the first match, Lin Yi might have relied on opportunistic tactics,
This time, it was entirely his own skill!
He secured the victory in the fourth round!
Old Xie, your people seem to have lost. Tsk tsk tsk, looks like they lost quite badly.
Liu Guangxian was very excited, but in order to anger Xie Chuncheng, he acted calm.
Xie Chunchengs face was ashen. He had been easily defeated in front of so many people. He had beenpletely humiliated!
Xie Chuncheng couldnt take it anymore. He didnt care about the people present and shouted at the resting area,
Lu Rui, youre up for the next round. You must take down that kid!
Xie Chuncheng could tell that Lin Yi wasnt an easy guy to deal with.
Other than Lu Rui, there was probably no one else who could be his match!
Dont be so excited. Youre already so old. Why cant you stay calm? Liu Guangxian said with a smile.
In this situation, even if you send the captain up, you wont be able to change the oue.
Liu Guangxian already had a preliminary evaluation of Lin Yis level.
His skill level was genuine. It was not a coincidence that he could defeat Hao
Gang and Sui Yazhou in a row.
Therefore, it was very possible for Lin Yi to defeat Lu Rui!
Dont be overconfident. Xie Chuncheng sneered.
Lu Ruis level is different from the others. Dont underestimate him.
I think his level is just so-so. Stop bragging.
Well see..

Chapter 1695: A New Case
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
At the same time, Lu Rui stood up and did a simple warm-up.
Ive been waiting for a long time. Damn it, I can finally take revenge for what happened just now.
Lu Rui felt humiliated when he thought of the scene of the team battle.
He originally thought that he wouldnt have a chance to exact revenge, but he didnt expect Lin Yi to give him such a big surprise.
After the simple warm-up, the rest period also ended at the same time.
The two of them went on stage together and stood facing each other. Lu Rui said,
Iming up. Its about time this farce ended.
Stop, stop, stop. Stop talking nonsense. Thepetition will end after I finish fighting with you. Im still waiting to clock out.
Kid, youre truly not modest at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Rui attacked immediately.
Lin Yi originally wanted to end the battle quickly.
However, he realized that Lu Ruis attacking approach was quite interesting.
He knew how to exert strength in his dantian.
However, he could not even be considered a beginner. He had only grasped a little bit of the fundamental concept.
If that was the case, Lin Yi would have fun with him.
This would also be a good lesson for him.
This time, Lin Yi took the initiative to attack. His speed exceeded everyones imagination.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Lu Rui, and thetter did not even have time to react!
How is this possible? Hes so fast!
He raised his hand and chopped down! Lin Yi turned one hand into a knife and shed at Lu Ruis neck!
With Lu Ruis strength, how could he block Lin Yis attack?
The intense pain made him instantly lose consciousness as he fainted on the stage!
Upon seeing this, Xie Chuncheng was also dumbfounded. He could not believe the scene in front of him.
Lu Rui was the strongest in his team, but Lin Yi had been dealt with so easily!
This was impossible!
When they saw Lu Rui in the arena, the audience below went into an uproar!
No one expected that the captain of the Baoshan representative team to lose thepetition in such a way!
Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran looked at each other in horror.
Everyone was astonished at Lin Yis skill level!
He actually knocked someone out with a single move!
Was that something a normal person could do?
First, he hung him up, and now hes knocked him out. 1 bet when Lu Rui wakes up, hes definitely going to go after Lin Yi with everything hes got, Li Xianghui said with augh.
Pretty much.
Gu Yirans heart was in turmoil. Lin Yis standard was something she had never dreamed of.
Fortunately, Inspector Li had talked to her earlier and stopped her from making things difficult for Lin Yi.
Otherwise, he might have just started a fight with her.
If that had happened, she would end up losing, and get even more humiliated.
Old Xie, your final contestant isnt much either. He was actually insta-killed in one move. Thats too lousy, Liu Guangxian said.
Now, Liu Guangxian and Xie Chunchengs positions hadpletely swapped.
Thetter felt as if he had been pped, and his face burned with pain.
Youve picked up a bargain this year. Well definitely be first next year.
Youre wrong. With Lin Yis level, as long as hes still in our branch, the first ce will belong to us.
The expressions of the three of them were abnormally ugly because what he said made sense.
Soon, thepetition came to an end.
Lin Yi got first ce without any suspense.
Baoshans team came in second ce, Taiping and Yuanhe tookthird and fourth ce respectively.
Brother Lin, youre amazing. You actually got first ce. We didnt expect you to be so amazing, Zhang Zixin said excitedly.
Its no big deal. Its just basic tasks.
You just got first ce, and your tail is already up. Li Xianghui said with augh.
However, you have the right to be proud. When you go back this time, the leader will definitely treat you well.
I dont care about this. Ive long been indifferent to fame and fortune.
This time, Gu Yiran did not refute Lin Yi.
For such a long time, he had not revealed himself and was never in a hurry to show off. Perhaps he really did take this matter lightly.
At this moment, Liu Guangxian walked over.
Lets go. Thepetition is over. Lets head back to the police station. We can talk when we get back.
Good!
One after another, the people in the arena left.
After returning to the police station, Liu Guangxian praised Lin Yi.
On the surface, it was indeed a little stingy for him to only give a little verbal praise after making such a huge contribution.
But in reality, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he would take special care of Lin Yi in the future.
Therefore, his future development could be said to be limitless.
It was already three in the afternoon when they got back. Liu Guangxian gave Lin Yi a break and told him to go back and rest.
Lin Yi had nothing to do, so he went to Ji Qingyans ce to wait for her to get off work.
Youre off early.
Ji Qingyan asked happily when she saw Lin Yi.
Im a neer. I dont have much to do, so I left early.
It would be great if this could happen every day.
Im afraid thats impossible. 1 reckon itll bemon to work overtime in the future.
Ji Qingyan puffed up her cheeks. Thats why I feel that this job should just be for experience. Theres no need to take it so seriously.
You just dislike me working overtime. Lin Yi smiled.
You cant wait for me toe over and apany you every day.
Smart. Ji Qingyan smiled.
Though Im just thinking out loud, life does require striving, and besides, youre not short on money right now. The development trend of Lingyun Group is also pretty good; getting out and experiencing life is good too, Ji Qingyan said.
To be honest, Ive been thinking about it myself.
You might as well forget it. Just stay put here honestly. There are too many bad people out there, no need to make yourself too visible.
The bad people out there couldnt possibly be worse than you, hmph.
I think youre like a roof tile that wont stay put without being nailed down. If I dont discipline you now and then, you really start to think Im just for show.
h, h, h You cant catch me.
Ji Qingyan ran away from Lin Yi like a happy deer.
The two of them chased each other around the office for a long time before stopping.
Alright, alright, lets stop fooling around. Im going back to work.
She tidied up her clothes and returned to her desk to continue working.
After work, the two of them went out for a meal. Then, they strolled around the streets for a while before returning home. Their lives were simple and fulfilling.
The next morning, the two of them parted ways and went to work.
When it came to Lin Yis new car, Ji Qingyan did not ask much about it. Lin Yi had too many cars, and from time to time, a car that she had never seen before would appear, so she did not probe into it.
When Lin Yi arrived at the office, Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin were already there.
However, before he could even sit down, the old policeman, Zhang Demin, rushed in.
Lets go. Theres a situation. Follow me out to check it out..
Chapter 1696: Consequences
Chapter 1696: Consequences
Upon hearing that there was a case to deal with, Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin were a little excited. They quickly picked up the clothes from the hangers and prepared to go out with Zhang Demin to investigate.
Brother Zhang, what case is this?
The party involved bought a Te, and after driving less than 200 kilometers, the brakes failed. When she sought help from the 4S dealership, the shop imed it was due to improper operation by the owner. After several unsessful negotiations, she called the police.
Isnt this a case of the dealership bullying the customer? To me brake failure on the owners mishandling? Zhang Peng said angrily.
Thats true. Lets go over and take a look.
Okay.
After tidying up, the four of them drove toward the Te 4S shop.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the shop, they saw a woman sitting on the roof of a car.
There was even a banner hanging on the car.
Te doesnt act, brakes fail, shirks responsibility, dont buy their car!
Lin Yi nced at the person in question and saw that she was a woman in her thirties.
She was very good-looking. Her hair was tied up behind her head, and she was wearing blue tight-fitting jeans that wrapped her legs perfectly.
She was a young married woman who looked quite pleasing to the eye.
However, she looked a little disheveled now andcked a proper demeanor.
When Lin Yi and the others arrived, arge group of people had surrounded the shop.
Moreover, the security guard had a physical conflict with the female car owner and tried to pull her down.
Beside the car, there were several salespeople from the dealership, dressed in suits, but they were standing aloof and even speaking rudely, with an air of arrogance.
Dont move!
Zhang Peng shouted and stopped the security guard.
Seeing the police arrive, the people around them automatically dispersed.
Zhang Demin said to the woman sitting on the roof of the car,
Come down first. If theres any problem, well solve it for you. You wont be able to solve it sitting on the car.
The woman looked less guarded when she saw the police. She climbed off the car.
Officer, I havee here three times already, but each time they just say it needs to be inspected and then ask me to go back and wait for news. Theyve been dragging this on for weeks, and its been almost two months now. Now theyre saying its due to my improper handling, which is just bullying me, the womanmented tearfully.
Hearing this, the surrounding people pointed and criticized Tes actions.
This kind of behavior was indeed a little too much.
Ill get in the car and take a look, Lin Yi said, Let me see whats wrong.
Okay.
After ying with modified cars for two years, Lin Yis understanding of cars had reached the point of perfection.
If there was a problem, he would be able to discover it immediately.
Seeing Lin Yi get into the car, the surrounding people retreated. No one dared to stand around and get in the way.
If he could not stop in time, they would be in danger.
After starting the car, Lin Yi stepped on the brakes twice. There was a strange sounding from inside, and it even felt like he was bouncing.
Generally speaking, as long as the ABS system was not triggered, the car would not feel this way.
Then, Lin Yi drove more than ten meters forward and backward. The brakes did not feel good.
However, ordinary drivers would not be able to discover it.
Then, Lin Yi parked the car and said to Zhang Demin,
Theres something wrong with the brakes.
Officer, as you can see, Im not being unreasonable. Theres indeed a problem, the woman said.
Dont be anxious. Were here. Well definitely give you an exnation, Zhang Deminforted her. Then, he looked at the security guard and said,
Wheres the person in charge.
Hello, police officer. Im the technical director of the 4S shop. If theres anything, you can talk to me.
Unexpectedly, the technical director was a blond, blue-eyed foreigner.
His expression was very calm, and he seemingly did not take this matter to heart.
Lin Yi nced at the work pass on his chest. His name was Mark, and as he said, he was indeed the technical director here.
Can you take full responsibility for this matter? Zhang Demin asked.
Mark smiled awkwardly. 1 cant take responsibility for this, but I can cooperate with you.
Then find someone who can take responsibility.
Theres only one manager in our shop, but hes out. The rest of the team are in sales, so no one can take charge of this. We can negotiate if theres a problem. 111 pass on the details to the manager when he gets back.
Mark had been working in Huaxia for three years. He could be said to be half a Huaxian.
This kind of thing had happened in the shop before, so he was very experienced.
If this dragged on, it wouldnt be long before the other party became exhausted and wouldnt pursue this matter anymore.
Slowly, it would die down.
Zhang Demin red at them. Are you trying to y dumb with me? Youve been negotiating for so long, and youre still not giving her an exnation. I think youre trying to stall for time.
No, our manager went out for a meeting and hasnt returned yet. Mark smiled and said.
Moreover, as a globally-renowned carpany, we will be responsible for our products. If its our responsibility, we wont refuse.
Zhang Demin frowned. If their person-in-charge was not around, this matter would not be easy to handle.
Officers, dont listen to him. Hes obviously lying.
The female owner said,
He always says that every time 1e. Hes just trying to brush you off.
Let me tell you, dont nder us. A shop as big as ours wont do such a thing, a salesperson said.
Lin Yi looked at the person who spoke and felt that this salesperson should be the person who sold the car back then. Otherwise, there was no need for him to get involved.
Zhang Demin did not say anything else. He stood aside alone as if he was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
Brother Zhang, they are obviously bullying the customers. We have to deal with it seriously! Zhang Peng said.
They are bullying her too badly.
I think we should arrest them! Zhang Zixin said.
The two of them had just entered the industry and their heads were a little hot. Thus, their approaches were also a little radical.
Its obvious that you didnt pay attention in ss when you were in school, Zhang Demin said.
This is a civil dispute. We have no right to arrest them, nor do we have a reason to.
But in this matter, its clearly their fault! Zhang Zixin said.
This matter should be handled jointly by the Consumer Association, the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and the Quality Inspection Department. Our role is mainly to coordinate.
All
Lin Yi felt that Zhang Demin, who was in his forties and still dealing with such frustrating issues while maintaining a head of shiny, ck hair, was truly blessed by nature.
Brother Lin, youre full of ideas, do you have any good solutions? We cant let the public suffer, Zhang Zixin said.
Ill try.
Lin Yi looked at Mark.
You just said that your person-in-charge went out for a meeting.
Yes, you can go back and wait for him, Mark said.
When our supervisor returns, someone will inform you toe over..
Chapter 1697 Can I add you on WeChat?
Chapter 1697 Can I add you on WeChat?
"I don''t want to hear any other excuses. I''ll give you half an hour to call the person-in-charge over," Lin Yi said.
"Sir, this is a little difficult. The person-in-charge has gone out of town for a meeting. He hasn''t been in the shop for the past few days. How do you expect me to find him?"
Lin Yi looked at his watch and said.
"This is your own problem . If the person in charge doesn''t appear in front of me within half an hour, you''ll have to bear the consequences."
"There''s nothing we can do. The person-in-charge has gone to Yanjing for a business trip. He might not even be back in half an hour."
Zhang Demin looked at Lin Yi, not knowing how he would pursue this matter.
Since their authority was limited, much of their work focused on mediation.
Dealing with the current issue was proving to be a challenge.
"So you''re saying there''s no way to get him back to handle this?" Lin Yi asked coolly.
In reality, Lin Yi believed that any industrial product could potentially have defects.
If a problem arose, addressing it promptly would suffice.
However, the approach of these people truly seemed to immediately dismiss the consumers.
They were eating the food of Huaxia, yet not taking the lives and safety of its people seriously.
Lin Yi wouldn''t entertain these people.
"Yes, it''s true that he won''t being back."
Although the police were here, Mark wasn''t afraid at all. He hadn''t done anything wrong, and so they couldn''t do anything to him.
"You really don''t take this seriously, do you? You dare to argue with me, thinking I can''t deal with you?"
"That''s not what I meant. The main issue is that our leader really isn''t here, and I can''t get anyone else toe."
"Then call someone over from the Te headquarters in Zhonghai."
"This is our shop''s matter. The people at headquarters won''t interfere."
"Aren''t you guys a little too f*cking pretentious? How dare a dog like you act pretentious in front of us?"
Everyone was shocked. No one expected Lin Yi to curse, including Mark.
"Sir, if you speak like that, we have the right to sue you for personal attacks using your official position."
"Don''t worry, someone will be here soon, you can sue all you like."
Zhang Demin and the others didn''t quite understand what Lin Yi meant. Who was going toe?
About half an hourter, a car arrived. Everyone looked intently and realized it was a vehicle from the court.
A man and a woman got out of the car and looked around the crowd, finally focusing on Lin Yi.
He must be the person the leader mentioned, but what was with the uniform?
"Are you Officer Lin Yi?" The man asked.
"That''s me."
Lin Yi nodded. "There''s a problem with the quality of the cars they are selling. Seal them now and only unseal it after the modifications arepleted.
"Okay."
Stunned.
Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded.
This was the first time they had seen such a thing happen in so many years.
"Wait!"
Mark hurriedly said,
"Why are you closing our shop? This is illegal!"
"We''ve been made aware of your actions. It has caused poor public opinion and influence." The man said,
"Moreover, there are many quality issues with the cars you sell. ording to the relevant regtions, I order you to modify the goods within the specified time. When the modifications arepleted, you can apply for the shop to be unsealed."
Zhang Demin and the others looked at Lin Yi in surprise. Without a doubt, he was the one who had brought over these people.
But with his status, how could he get these people?
They couldn''t say anything at all.
"No, no, no. I''ll call the manager now and get him toe over and deal with this."
"Didn''t your person-in-charge go out? Why can hee back now?"
"I''ll call the other person in charge," Mark said, wiping cold sweat from his brow.
"But you just said that you couldn''t contact any of the people in charge. Now that you can, you''ll be criminally responsible for what you''re doing."
"I remembered wrongly just now. I''m really sorry."
With that, Mark went to the side to make a call.
Not long after, a middle-aged man drove over in an E-ss Mercedes-Benz.
"Officer, my name is Li Donglin. I''m the manager of this 4S shop. If there''s any problem, you can tell me."
"The problem is right in front of you. Do you need me to say anything else?" Lin Yi said.
"The brakes have been malfunctioning for more than two months, and the problem hasn''t been resolved yet. Is this really the level of service of your shop?"
"I know about that, but every one of our cars was rigorously tested when they left the factory. There can''t be a problem with it. It must have been caused by thisdy''s poor handling."
"How can you be so sure that your cars are fine?"
"I''m absolutely certain," Li Donglin said confidently.
"Well then, how about this: you drive this car away, and if it can go 1000 kilometers without any issues, then the responsibility will lie with thisdy, and we won''t ask for anypensation."
Upon hearing this, Li Donglin and the other staff members were all stunned.
They hadn''t expected Lin Yi to make such a move.
With the car having had such issues, who the hell would dare to drive it?!
"Sir, are you joking? This is a client''s car. ording to the rules, we can''t drive it."
Lin Yi turned around and saw the beautiful woman. "Can I borrow this car?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The woman nodded repeatedly. "Let him drive as he pleases. If nothing happens to him after driving 1,000 kilometers, I''ll give up."
Lin Yi looked at Li Donglin. "They don''t have any objections. It''s settled then. Take it and drive 1,000 kilometers. No problem, right?"
Li Donglin looked embarrassed. "It''s just that my driving skills aren''t very good. It won''t be good if I bump into something."
"That''s fine. It''s on me if you knock it," Lin Yi said.
"If you''re not good at driving, you can assign someone else in the shop to drive."
"No, no, no. We''re not good at driving either. We can''t drive."
Seven or eight staff members waved their hands repeatedly and retreated. They had no intention of testing the car.
"What''s wrong? Are you all so afraid of death?" Lin Yi said, "Didn''t you say that the car is fine? Why are you all afraid?"
Everyone looked embarrassed and did not dare to say a word.
"Sir, this is not the way to solve the problem," Li Donglin said.
"I have an idea. Let''s see if I can handle it like this."
"Fire away."
"We''ll take the car to the Quality Surveince Authority and have them issue a report. If the authorities say it''s an issue with the car, then we''ll deal with it immediately. If not, I''ll hold her ountable."
"You can do whatever you want. You can send it anywhere you want," the woman said.
"Then it''s settled," Lin Yi said to Zhang Zixin.
"Get a tow truck over here and take it to the Quality Surveince Authority."
"Got it, Brother Lin."
After arranging everything, Lin Yi and the others were about to leave when they were stopped by the beautiful young woman.
"Comrade, can I add you on WeChat? You can contact me quickly if there''s any update."
"Sure." Zhang Peng took out his phone.
However, the young woman ignored him and looked at Lin Yi, wanting to add him on WeChat.

Zhang Zixin couldnt stopughing.
Being good-looking meant that he had an advantage.
Whenever he went out as a police officer, he would experience a romantic encounter.
Thats fine. If you need anything, just look for me at the branch office.
Alright, alright, alright. Thank you. Otherwise, I wouldnt know what to do. Its our duty. Lin Yi said.
When the quality inspection reportes out, this matter will be resolved.
You dont have to worry anymore.
Okay.
After dealing with the disputes on both sides, the four of them drove back to the branch office.
The onlookers in the 4.S shop also left while cursing.
In addition to this, many people had recorded videos, and once this incident started trending online, it would be difficult for the dealership to calm public outrage if they did not provide a satisfactory exnation.
Mr. Li, what should we do about this? Mark asked. This has caused a very bad impact, and I feel that headquarters will soon be calling.
Li Donglin was aware of the issues with the car.
However, he couldnt admit to them, as doing so would confirm that there was a problem with the car, and that would spell the end of his job.
Its fine, I have a way to handle it, Li Donglin said.
Its just a matter of getting a pass from the quality inspection department, not a big deal!
On the way back, Lin Yi opened the system page and saw that the mission progress was still (1/10). The system did not count this case.
It was probably not closed yet. They had to wait for the quality inspection report to be released.
Lin Yi didnt know when the report woulde out. It all depended on the departments efficiency.
However, there was no need to rush this matter. In any case, it had been resolved.
As soon as he returned to the police station, Lin Yi received a call from Chen
Bingqiang.
Lin Yi already vaguely knew why he was calling.
President Lin, did you be a police officer?
Did you find out?
Someone called me. I didnt know until I checked.
I have nothing better to do, so Im here to experience life. Dont tell anyone.
Dont tell Liang Ruoxu, and dont do anything special. Just pretend that you dont know about this.
Lin Yi knew that this secret wouldntst long.
Sooner orter, it would reach Chen Bingqiang.
Why didnt you say so earlier? I would have arranged it directly for you,
instead of having toe here yourself.
Cant 1 test my own capabilities? It wouldnt be fun if you arranged everything for me.
Chen Bingqiang on the other end of the phoneughed.
Lets leave it at that for now. 111 keep your secret, but if one day Secretary
Liang finds out about this, you better not throw me under the bus.
Dont worry, this wont be a problem.
After chatting with Chen Bingqiang for a while, Lin Yi hung up.
Over the next few days, Lin Yis life was quitefortable.
He also understood his job better.
The four people in the office were divided into two groups. Zhang Demin took
Zhang Zixin and formed a team, and Lin Yi and Zhang Peng formed another team.
When something happened, they could deal with it separately.
After all, civil cases were mainly about reconciliation. There was no need for so many members of the police to go deal with it together. This was to prevent resources from being wasted.
Moreover, Zhang Demin knew that Lin Yi was only here for the time being and would be transferred away in a few days.
Therefore, he did not assign him too many missions.
As a result, he had only dealt with two cases in the past few days, and they were all trivial matters.
Even so, Lin Yi didnt care, because the progress of the mission was already at (3/10). Including the Te case, there were a total of fourpleted cases.
At this rate, this mission would bepleted in at most two weeks.
Little Yi,e here.
Just as Lin Yi was cking off, Li Xianghui stood at the door and raised his chin, calling him out.
Whats wrong, Brother Li?
Theres a case. Im going to bring you over to broaden your horizons.
How big of a case is it that Ill learn so much?
Someone died.
Lin Yi scratched his head. He had already killed quite a few people, let alone seen the bodies. This wasnt enough to broaden his horizons!
Thats pretty scary. You wont have nightmares at night, will you?
Thats not necessary. Li Xianghui said.
I heard from the person who called the police that it was a suicide, so 1 wanted to bring you to experience it. After all, you are likely to be transferred to our side in the future. 1 have to let you quickly adapt to the job.
Lets go, Lin Yi picked up the clothes and said.
Soon, Lin Yi, Li Xianghui, Gu Yiran, and two other people called Zhang Hui and
Gao Mingjun followed. They were all in charge of criminal investigation.
The two of them were very warm and talkative, and they quickly got along with Lin Yi.
The crime scene was at Erlong Mountain Scenic Area. Lin Yi knew this ce.
The scenery was not bad and could often be seen on TikTok. It was the first choice spot for the surrounding tourists.
Previously, he had wanted to bring Li Chuhan here on an outing. He did not expect something to happen here now.
After driving for a while, they arrived at Erlong Mountain Scenic Area.
Upon arrival at the site, the local police and doctors had already conducted preliminary processing and had cordoned off the crime scene. The body was covered with a white cloth, all handled very professionally.
When he arrived at the scene, Li Xianghui showed his ID and greeted the local police officers, preparing to take over the case.
Whats the situation?
The victims name is Song Deyuan. Hes a boss who works in security
equipment. Hispany is organizing a team-building event here, but for some reason, hemitted suicide.
Team-building activity? Suicide?
Li Xianghui was a little suspicious. His experience told him that these two things were unlikely to ovep.
People who wanted tomit suicide normally wouldnt do it in public.
Moreover, he had already decided tomit suicide. Why was he still doing team building?
Li Xianghui led his men into the sealed area and lifted the white cloth.
Because the body had fallen from the mountain, the flesh was badly mangled.
Furthermore, his limbs were a little twisted. It was possible that he had hit the mountainside when he fell.
Lin Yi looked up and saw that the mountain wasnt very tall. It was only about twenty meters high, about seven or eight stories tall.
However, it was still more than enough to kill someone. It was reasonable for the fall to cause these injuries.
Send her to the forensic expert. Little Gu, Little Yi, you two check the surveince cameras nearby.
Li Xianghui knew that the two of them had a conflict, so he wanted the two of them to work together more. They would be colleagues in the future, so it was not good to continue being so cold toward each other.
Got it.
Little Zhang, Little Gao, you two find a car and bring away all the witnesses and the people from the deceasedspany. Go back and interrogate them slowly.
Got it!
After assigning the tasks, the four of them split up.
Gu Yiran changed her previous attitude towards Lin Yi, sharing a lot of
practical experience on the way, which was very useful.
See, this is how it should be. Were going to be colleagues, so we should get along well.
Dont tter yourself. Were working right now, and I cant be bothered to
argue with you about those things, Gu Yiran said emotionlessly, clearly able to separate personal feelings from work.
You have a small chest and a big temper. You have long hair and are short-sighted. Thats four for four. With these issues, dont even think about getting married in this lifetime..
Chapter 1699: Speculating on the Case
Chapter 1699: Specting on the Case
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Stop cursing me. There are a lot of people chasing me. If I wanted to, I could get married in minutes.
I cant think of anyone but a blind man who would want to marry you.
Get out of here and get to work!
Although Gu Yiran had a bad temper, she was good at her job.
In less than an hour, she had gathered all the surveince footage and met up with Li Xianghui and the others with the portable hard drive.
When they returned to the police station, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Without stopping, everyone began the next step of the process.
It was not until seven oclock in the evening that the interrogation ended. Then, they ordered some food and discussed the case while eating.
Did you find anything during the interrogation?
I didnt discover any big problems. Gu Yiran said.
The deceased, Song Deyuan, was 58 years old. Hispany dealt with fire monitoring systems. He owned recreational vehicles worth about 60 million in total, and his bank deposits were over 80 million, making him part of the upper ss.
His wifes name is Liu Fang, who is 56 years old this year, and they have a 32-year-old son named Song Zhe, who is the vice president of theirpany.
However, his private life was not very discreet. He also supported a mistress, 38 years old, named Du Juan. They had been involved for eight years, and she works at an intepany.
For a rich person, this kind of news was very normal. No one was surprised.
It would seem a little abnormal if this person called Song Deyuan was clean and did not have a mistress.
I just checked Song Zhe, Liu Fang and Du Juans criminal records. Gu Yiran said.
Liu Fang is a very clean person, just an ordinary wealthy wife. But this is only the information shown in the records; a detailed investigation is necessary to know the full story.
Song Deyuans son, Song Zhe, was prone to fighting and brawling in his youth, and he even spent two years in prison for provoking trouble. Later, while working on projects, he often got into verbal disputes and could be equated with unsavory characters.
His mistress, Du Juan, appears unremarkable at first nce, but she has a history of using banned substances and was once detained for half a month, so she cant really be considered a good person in the true sense.
After thinking for a few seconds, Li Xianghui said,
Lock onto this person called Du Juan. Bring her back to the station as soon as possible. We need to interrogate her first.
Ive sent someone to nab her. Well hear from herter. Gu Yiran said.
Li Xianghui nodded in satisfaction and lit a cigarette.
Wheres the surveince footage you brought back? Lets check that first.
Here.
Gu Yiran connected the few hard drives she brought back to theputer and showed the surveince video of Song Deyuans suicide.
The office was very quiet. The few of them ate while watching the video on theputer.
At around noon, Song Deyuan strolled to the edge of the small mountain alone. Then, he stood at the edge of the cliff for a long time. After about three minutes, his body fell and hemitted suicide.
From the looks of it, he really didmit suicide, Zhang Hui said.
The others subconsciously nodded in agreement.
The video showed very clearly that no one had appeared beside Song Deyuan before hemitted suicide. He had jumped down on his own ord. It was a typical sign of suicide.
At first, I thought that the mistress pushed him down to get his assets. Now, it seems that Im overthinking, Gao Mingjun said.
Maybe were oveplicating things.
Li Xianghui looked at his watch. After Du Juan is brought back, well interrogate her again. If theres nothing suspicious about her, this case can be dered closed.
Wait! Somethings not right.
While everyone was analyzing the case, Lin Yis words attracted their attention. Whats wrong? Li Xianghui asked.
Look at the surveince video. Lin Yi pointed at theputer screen.
Theres something strange about the way he walks.
Everyone went back to theputer and looked at it several times.
It looks like he drank too much, and his face is also somewhat red; his walking posture doesnt seem that unusual either, Gu Yiran said.
Zhang Hui nodded, The time of the incident was around noon, and since they were on a team-building outing, they would likely have just finished eating. This exnation makes sense.
This is logical, but its notmon sense.
Lets take it slow, Li Xianghui said.
Everyone think about it, if the five of us went out to eat, how long would it typically take for us to finish?
Well be done in half an hour, Gao Junming said.
But the problem is that this is thepanys team-building. Its arge-scale gathering. Naturally, they wouldnt finish so quickly. Lin Yi said.
Ive attended these kinds of gatherings a few times. Usually, girls who dont drink will leave after dinner. This will be in 40 minutes to an hour. However, the male employees of thepany, including some leaders, definitely wont leave so quickly because they havent finished drinking. Secondly, in order to curry favor with the leaders, the normal employees wont leave so quickly.
ording to what you said, if Song Deyuan really drank, he definitely wouldnt have left around midnight.
I took a look at the map just now. The crime scene is about 500 meters away from the hotel where the gathering was held.
Song Deyuan jumped off the cliff around 11:50. ording to a normal persons walking speed, it would take six to eight minutes to walk 500 meters. Coupled with the fact that he was drunk and was slower and fatter, his speed would be even slower. It would take at least 10 minutes to walk the 500 meters.
In other words, hed have had toe out of the hotel at at least 11:40 to walk there and kill himself.
During team-building activities, because there are many participants, there are strict rules regarding the dining segment. Generally, meals start at either 11:30 AM or 12:00 PM.
And hemitted suicide around 11:50. In other words, its impossible for him to have been drinking during that time. Of course, theres nothing absolute about the facts. Its just that the probability of it happening is rtively low.
Lin Yis words also made the others suspicious.
After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Yiran said,
Is it possible that he drank wine with the other leaders of thepany? After all, they are a rank above. Its normal for him to go out and receive special treatment.
Its the same as before. Logically, its sound, but it doesnt match the reality, Lin Yi said.
Why so?
For a smallpany like theirs, whats nicely called a team-building activity might just be a trip. Although Song Deyuan isnt a big spender, a local scenic spot like Erlong Mountain wouldnt normally interest him. But since he came, theres likely another reason.
Li Xianghui looked at Lin Yi and said,
So you suspect that he wasnt drinking but was using contraband, right?
Chapter 1700: Progress
Chapter 1700: Progress
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Thats right!
Lin Yi secretly praised Li Xianghuis insight.
After all, he had only thought of this through the system reward.
Its possible! Gu Yiran was enlightened.
His mistress, Du Juan, has a history of being involved in this. Naturally, there is a possibility of him doing the same.
So, 1 specte that he might have ingested a ketamine-like substance, which then caused hallucinatory effects, Lin Yi pondered.
And its possible that his death wasnt a suicide, but rather that he lost his footing due to the hallucinations and jumped.
Even so, that doesnt change the fact that it was a suicide, which would imply it has nothing to do with anyone else.
Not necessarily. Lin Yi said.
Right now, we should capture that woman called Du Juan and interrogate her. We cant be sure if she was with Song Deyuan at the time of the incident, Lin Yi said.
If she wasnt with him, it would suggest that his actions were his own. Otherwise, she might also bear some rted responsibility.
Everyone nodded, thinking that Lin Yi was right.
Zhang Hui patted Lin Yis shoulder.
Kid, youre not bad. Youve juste to work for a day and youve already analyzed so many things. Work hard. Your future development will be bright. Thank you Brother Zhang.
After analyzing most of the case, the atmosphere in the office became much more rxed.
Halfway through, Gu Yiran received a call saying that Du Juan had been caught and was on the way back to the police station. They would know what had transpired after another interrogation.
Lin Yi took this opportunity to give Ji Qingyan a call.
He told her about the situation.
Judging from the current situation, it was unclear if he could return home tonight. He told her to rest first and not wait for him.
Ji Qingyan gave him a few reminders. She knew that Lin Yi was busy with work and did not waste too much time.
When it was almost ten oclock in the evening, the woman named Du Juan was brought over.
Lin Yi sized her up. Although she was already 38 years old, she took good care of herself. She looked like she was in her early 30s, and her looks were not bad. At the very least, she was qualified to be a mistress.
Her clothes were simple. She was wearing a pair of white half-sleeved jeans and a pair of sneakers.
Although the prices were not cheap, it was obviously a set of home clothes.
Other than that, she was bare-faced and her hair was tied up messily.
It was obvious that he had been brought here unprepared.
After hearing the news of Song Deyuans death, she was very agitated. Even when she was brought into the interrogation room, she still had not calmed down.
Whats going on? He cant havemitted suicide. We even talked on the phone before and he said that he would bring me overseas on holiday. He cant have died like this.
Du Juans words confirmed everyones thoughts.
Song Deyuan might not havemitted suicide. Instead, he had stood on the edge of a cliff and lost his footing.
All of this matched Lin Yis guess.
Calm down first. We have some questions for you.
Okay, go ahead.
What were you doing at noon today? Gu Yiran asked.
I was working at the office. I was having lunch at that time. The people at the office can vouch for this.
Du Juan knew why the police brought her here, so she was very cooperative.
If you dont believe me, you can go to mypany and ask, but I hope you can be more discreet. This job is not bad. Now that Song Deyuan is dead, I dont have a source of ie anymore. I dont want to be fired by thepany.
Du Juan was a very smart person. She thought of the benefits involved and immediately voiced her request.
We will deal with it. Gu Yiran said.
We found out about your record. You have a criminal record. You cant deny that, can you?
I wont deny it, but Ive already given up on that sort of thing. You guys can draw my blood anytime for a checkup. Ill cooperate.
After that, Gu Yiran asked a few more questions and nned to detain her for a few hours before letting her go.
Youve all heard the interrogation. Tell me your thoughts, Li Xianghui said.
Her alibi should be no problem, and that can be easily checked. Shes a smart person and wouldnt likely try any tricks on this matter, Gao Mingjun said.
As for her criminal past, I think thats also not a problem because it can be checked, Gu Yiran added.
But that doesnt prove that she hasnt lied at all, Lin Yi said:
The matter of the banned substances can be manipted through video, and earlier she mentioned keeping this low-key to avoid losing his job and ie. I think this could be a smokescreen, intentionally designed to confuse us and skew our judgment.
The others agreed with Lin Yis spection. This could be the case.
Ill check her phone!
Gu Yiran stood up and left the interrogation room.
However, she rushed back in a few minutes.
I found it. They were in a video call earlier. Itsted about 40 minutes. They hung up the video call at about 11:30!
11:30!
At this time, everyone perked up.
This was because ording to his spection, Song Deyuan should have left the gather at around 11:40. Then, he reached the edge of the cliff and lost his footing!
And the two of them had a video call around 11:30, which suggests that Du Juan could very likely have engaged in some form of inducement!
After the video call ended, Song Deyuan left the room, and thats when this tragedy urred.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt enlightened.
Inspector Li, bring her out for further interrogation.
Dont be anxious. Even if we can confirm that there was a video call between them, no one knows what they said. It might be something romantic in nature. If we force this usation on her, it wont stand up in court and cant be used as evidence, Li Xianghui said.
But then again, what you hypothesize is also possible. In the video call thatsted 40 minutes, she indeed could have been engaging in some form of inducement. But even if she did induce him, that doesnt prove she had the motive to frame Song Deyuan. It might have just been for fun. After all, people like Song Deyuan often enjoy doing these things together. Doing it alone isnt as appealing to them.
Everyone nodded in agreement. People of their kind typically exhibited such behaviors. They rarely did it alone and often soughtpanionship in such activities.
Therefore, it might just be for fun.
Let me summarize. There are three suspicious points about Du Juan, Li Xianghui said.
Firstly, their conversation was romantic in nature, which is not enough to convict her.
Secondly, while she did engage in inducement, there was no ulterior motive behind it. She may have to bear some associated responsibility, but it wouldnt amount to a severe punishment, and it might not even lead to criminal charges.
Thirdly, if she acted with the intention of benefiting from Song Deyuans wealth, deliberately causing this incident, that would be a capital offense!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The others agreed with Li Xianghuis spection. Then, he said,
For the first two possibilities, theres no way to confirm them now. We can investigate thetter.
Ill go to hispany tomorrow and see if there are any problems with the ounts, Gao Mingjun said.
Li Xianghui nodded. This will be the key point. Investigate it carefully.
Leave it to me.
Inspector Li, do you think it has something to do with his wife? Gu Yiran asked.
You mean Liu Fang?
Gu Yiran nodded, During the interrogation just now, I observed a detail. After learning the news of Song Deyuans death, she was very calm. This is a little unusual. Besides, his son was also surprisingly calm, as if he didnt care about his fathers life at all.
Their rtionship only exists in name. Although they havent gotten a divorce, it seems like they havent seen each other for a few months. They dont have feelings for each other anymore. Zhang Hui said.
In addition, his son is usually closer to his mother. Naturally, his feelings for Song Deyuan are very faint. Their attitude is understandable.
No! Actually, they have a motive too. Lin Yi said.
Song Zhe is still working in thepany, and hes even a vice president. He must know thepanys situation like the back of his hand.
Song Deyuan had a mistress. The mother and son were afraid that the mistress would cheat them of their money, so they used this method to kill Song Deyuan. This way, they could legitimately inherit thepany.
Lets assume theyre the murderers, but how did they do it? Mr. Li said.
Everyone fell silent. At this point, the case seemed to have reached a stalemate.
Everyone was suspicious, but their disdain was insufficient.
Its a little confusing. Im trying to sort it out. Li Xianghui said.
The first possibility is that Song Deyuan might not have taken any drugs. Its possible that hemitted suicide, but with my many years of experience, the probability of that is very small. Assuming that this is really the case, no one needs to be held responsible for this matter.
The second possibility is that Song Deyuan did engage in substance abuse while video chatting with Du Juan. Du Juan might not have intended it to happen, but Song Deyuan hallucinated and fell from the cliff on his own ord. Assuming this is the case, then Du Juan would bear some responsibility, but it wouldnt be substantial.
The third possibility is that Du Juan did engage in inducement, with the motive of gaining his wealth. If this were true, she would bear the primary responsibility.
The fourth possibility involves Song Zhe and Liu Fang conspiring to kill Song Deyuan, aiming to inherit all of his wealth before it could be transferred elsewhere. However, there is insufficient evidence for this scenario right now. Gu Yiran nodded and thought for a moment.
The forensics team wille up with the results tomorrow. Well be able to find out if hes been taking drugs. That way, we can rule out any inurate spection.
Then todays meeting will end here. Well wait for the results tomorrow.
Whoosh!
After the meeting, Li Xianghui stretched. Its gettingte. Lets go home. You dont have toe so early tomorrow, but dont be toote.
Sure thing.
After working for nearly a day, everyone was a little tired and prepared to pack up and go home.
Even so, Lin Yi didnt move. His mind was still on the case.
He felt that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.
After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi said to Li Xianghui,
Brother Li, I want to take the surveince video back and watch it.
Alright. Li Xianghui didnt refuse. Instead, he felt that this was a good thing. It meant that Lin Yi was motivated.
After talcing the hard drive, Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was almost eleven oclock.
He could go back at this time, but Lin Yi didnt n to do that. He was going to stay with Li Chuhan for the night.
Yo, Little Yi, you changed your car. I recall you drove a 570 before. Zhang Huiughed and said.
The color of this car is really shy.
Its meant to be low-key to prevent Officer Gu from getting jealous.
Theres nothing to show off about a car someone else bought for you, Gu Yiran said, Your skills are only good enough for driving a Civic.
What, you look down on my Civic? Lin Yi said with a chuckle:
How about a race?
Keep it low-key, would you? Dont let the brand fool you; her car is a Volkswagen, but its been modified. Your Civic might not stand a chance, Gao Mingjun interjected.
Havent you heard of the Civics reputation? Its a legendary car.
Even if its legendary, yours is a Civic thats worth just over 100,000. Hers is a Touareg worth over 300,000 and its been modified. You might not necessarily win.
Gu Yiran raised her head proudly.
I know youre good at driving, but Im not bad either. If I was driving that day, I could easily catch up to you.
Then lets go for a drive. Its been a long night and Im not in the mood to sleep. I have nothing to do anyway. Lin Yi said.
The bet will be the same as the other day. Do you dare?
Gu Yiran rolled her eyes, Im fine with it. Just make sure you do it too if you lose.
Come on, then.
The destination will be Pisces Wend Park. Its about ten kilometers away. Is there any problem with the route?
No problem. Get in the car.
After setting the route, both got into their cars. Gu Yiran rummaged through her car and found a ck pouch, which she tossed to Lin Yi.
Here, youll need thister.
You seem pretty familiar with how to handle this.
I guess 1 am. Gu Yiran gave a confident smile and buckled her seatbelt, Im sure to win this time.
Good luck to you.
Good luck.
Seeing themotion, Zhang Hui stood in front of the two cars and said loudly,
Three, two, one, go!
Boom, boom, boom
As soon as he finished speaking, the two cars roared and disappeared from everyones sight in the blink of an eye.
What the f*ck! Gao Mingjun eximed, Theres something wrong with this sound.
Li Xianghui and Zhang Hui could also tell. Is his car a Civic?
Im also puzzled. No matter how much the Civic is modified, it wont be able to make such a sound.
The three of them pondered for a moment before suddenly looking at each other.
That kids car couldnt be a Type-R, could it?
At the same time, Gu Yiran also realized that something was wrong. Lin Yis car was surprisingly good!
Was this the performance that a Civic should have?
Could he have modified it as well?
This is a little slow. Ill get going first.
Lin Yi waved at Gu Yiran and stepped on the elerator!
Gu Yiran gritted her teeth, unwilling to admit defeat. She sped up and tried to catch up to Lin Yi.
However, she realized that she was still dozens of meters away. She could not catch up no matter what!
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Gu Yirans phone rang. It was Gao Mingjun.
However, at that moment, she was no longer in the mood to answer the call!
If she lost again, she would be utterly embarrassed.
Gu Yiran didnt pick up and hung up the phone. However, Gao Mingjun called again after a few seconds.
Gu Yiran frowned at the fact that he had made two consecutive calls. He had a bad feeling.
After thinking about it, she was afraid that something had happened at the police station, so she picked up the call.
What is it?
You must have been left behind.
Huh? How did you know?
Ive long guessed it. Gao Mingjun smiled.
The car hes driving isnt a normal Civic. Its a Type-R that sells for more than a million yuan. You definitely wont be able to catch up..

Chapter 1702: Qiao Xins Discoveries
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Type-R?!
Gu Yiran knew a lot about cars, but she wasnt as experienced as Lin Yi.
Naturally, she had heard of the Type-R before.
If that was the case, her car would definitely not be able to beat his.
Are you sure?
It feels a little like it. Gao Mingjun said.
The thing is that you havent caught up to him yet. Thats very telling.
No matter what he is driving, I want to chase after him!
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yiran stepped on the elerator.
She felt that Gao Mingjun must have misjudged him as she didnt think that Lin Yi would drive such a good car.
But reality gave her a resounding p to wake her up.
Even when she reached the finish line, she couldnt catch up to Lin Yi.
Moreover, the distance between the two of them remained fixed at dozens of meters.
What infuriated Gu Yiran the most was that Lin Yi seemed to be deliberately controlling the speed of his car.
It was not very harmful, but it was extremely insulting.
After getting out of the car, Gu Yiran looked unnatural.
Are you kidding me? Its clearly a Type-R, and youre calling it a Civic!
How is it not a Civic? Thats exactly what this is.
Nonsense, since when do Civicse with AMG calipers?
Yep, thats how we outfit our Civic, Lin Yi replied.
But 1 think all this talk is pointless. Lets just stick to our agreement. The stic bag is still in your car? Lets not waste time.
Dont worry, I, Gu Yiran, can afford to lose if I dare to y!
After returning to the back of the car, Gu Yiran struggled for a while beforeing down and handing the ck bag to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nced at the design inside and threw it into the trash.
If Id known that was the case, I wouldnt have yed with you. Theyre not even as good as those nice olddies bloomers.
You!
Bye-bye.
Lin Yi got into the car, waved to Gu Yiran, and drove away.
There werent many people at night, so he arrived at Li Chuhans house at around midnight.
The lights in the living room were still on, and he could see it from the outside. She was obviously waiting for Lin Yi toe back.
Next time something like this happens, dont wait for me. Ive got a key anyway. I can get in on my own.
I had to keep the light on in the house. I cant let you stumble around in the dark. Youll be lonely.
Lin Yi smiled and stroked Li Chuhans soft long hair.
Lets go. Weve been working hard all day. Lets sleep.
Okay.
Lin Yi washed up briefly. He wanted to wash away his bad luck after seeing a dead person in the day.
They were all superstitions that he had learned from Wang Cuiping.
The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, it was already past nine.
He saw Li Chuhan making breakfast in the kitchen.
Arent you working today?
Its a holiday. I have a day shift tomorrow.
Do you have any ns for the holidays? Why dont I take leave to apany youter?
No need, no need. Go about your business. Li Chuhan said.
I have an appointment with Xinxin. Well go shoppingter.
Then Ill transfer you some money.
I have enough here. I dont need it.
Alright then.
Just as the two of them were talking, the sound of a door opening was heard from outside.
It was obvious that Qiao Xin hade to freeioad.
Other than Lin Yi, only Qiao Xin had Li Chuhans house key.
Ah, Brother Lin!
When she opened the door and saw Lin Yi, Qiao Xin was first surprised. Then, she winked and said,
Am I interrupting anything?
Youre already intruding.
Heh, well, theres nothing to be done about itIm already here. Might as well disturb you since Ive got thick skin.
You two sit down for a while. Breakfast will be ready soon.
Ill go help, Qiao Xin said.
No need. Itll be done soon. You dont have to help.
Then 1 wont stand on ceremony.
Qiao Xin sat on the sofa and looked at Lin Yi excitedly.
Brother Lin, didnt you be a police officer? Have there been any major cases recently? Its the kind of mysterious case. Tell me about it.
There is one. It happened yesterday.
Tell me about it.
After that, Lin Yi briefly exined the case to Qiao Xin, who fell into deep thought.
The problem now is that even if you find a clear murderer, you wont be able to do anything because of theck of evidence.
Right, go on.
Lin Yi knew Qiao Xin very well. After watching Conan for so many years, her thoughts were already different from ordinary people.
She might really be able toe up with something.
Whether hemitted suicide or lost his footing, he fell down by himself, Qiao Xin said.
You dont have evidence to use her of inducement, as theres no proof from the deceased at most, she might bear some associated responsibility. As for how shell be judged, thats uncertain, but it likely wont be too severe.
Thats why we have to prove the exact cause of his death.
Brother Lin, was there a surveince camera at the scene? Can 1 take a look?
I actually brought the surveince footage back. Go and get theputer.
Okay, Qiao Xin said excitedly. Then, she went to Li Chuhans study and brought out herptop.
As an old fan of Conan, she was both excited and excited to encounter such a thing in reality.
After loading the hard drive, Lin Yi leaned against the sofa. Qiao Xin stuck her head out and looked at it very carefully.
I can tell from the way he walks that hes definitely not behaving normally. Weve already analyzed this, and there are two possible causes for the situation. The first is alcohol consumption, and the second is the use of ketamine or simr drugs, which produced hallucinogenic effects.
Qiao Xin nodded nomittally. As a professional doctor, she knew the effects of these drugs very well.
After watching for more than ten minutes, Qiao Xin rested her chin on her hand and said,
It seems like nothing definitive was found. He fell on his own, and regardless of who the perpetrator might be, you cant convict anyone without solid evidence.
Thats the problem.
The two of them fell into deep thought since they had arrived at the same dead end.
Lets eat first. Well talk about this after were done, Li Chuhan said.
Okay, Ill help carry the dishes.
Li Chuhan made two lists of side dishes. There were also buns and soy milk. These were typical Huaxian dishes.
Sister Li, hows the new house? Is there anything I can help with? Qiao Xin asked.
Its nearly time. I can take a look at the house today.
Aiyaya, Brother Lin, although Im not as big as Sister Li, why dont you make do with it and take me in? Qiao Xin said enviously.
I dont want such a big house. I just need a few dozen square meters. Give me a home too.
Lin Yi and Li Chuhan looked at each other and smiled.
That will depend on your performance.
Come on, Brother Lin, sit in the center. And these dishes, why are they ced in front of me? They have to be ced in front of Brother Lin
Halfway through her sentence, Qiao Xin stopped talking and her expression turned strange.
Whats wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Li Chuhan asked.
Qiao Xin shook her head and looked at Lin Yi seriously.
Brother Lin, I think I noticed something wrong..
Chapter 1703: Precise Murder!
Chapter 1703: Precise Murder!
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
What did you find? Lin Yi asked in surprise.
Lets go watch the surveince video.
The two of them put down their chopsticks and went to the coffee table to turn on the surveince video.
Do you see anything different?
Qiao Xin looked at Lin Yi seriously. Brother Lin, dont you think this video is a bit too clear?
Clear?
This ce, Ive been there before with other colleagues, and I still remember what it looks like. The crime scene is in a guesthouse area meant for overnight stays by out-of-town tourists, but the environment is pretty average. The owner isnt very pleasant either. You pulled the surveince footage; you should remember.
Yes.
Qiao Xins description matched almost exactly with the actual situation.
Yesterday, while investigating and gathering evidence with Gu Yiran, they also learned more about the area.
Indeed, it consisted of about a dozen connected guesthouses. Whether it was the male or female owner, each seemed to have the aura of a con-artist.
This was also a special feature of the scenic area because they made a living by scamming tourists.
Look at the surveince footage. Its so clear. I dont think such a small shop usually uses such a good camera.
Qiao Xin changed her posture and continued,
Look at the angle of these videos. They almost captured the victims every move when he fell off the cliff, especially the scene of him falling off the cliff. The victim was in the middle of the surveince footage as if it was deliberately filming him.
Qiao Xins words enlightened Lin Yi.
Hearing what she said while looking at the surveince footage, he noticed that there was indeed something wrong.
It was a little too clear, as if these cameras were prepared just for the deceased.
The two of them looked at each other and got an answer in their hearts.
Brother Lin, this might be a carefully nned murder. These cameras are very likely to have been deliberately arranged by the murderer to let you find clues to prove that he fell off the cliff himself so that you think this had nothing to do with anyone else.
Tsk tsk tsk, your analysis is really good, Lin Yi said, I didnt notice it before.
While praising Qiao Xin, Lin Yi cursed the system in his heart.
Is the master-level criminal investigation technique you gave me pirated? Its not as impressive as an old Conan fans.
The system probably knew that it was in the wrong and did not dare to retort.
Aiya, its alright, its alright. Its so-so, Qiao Xin said.
However, the case is much clearer. Its very likely that he discovered something. Or perhaps he was about to discover something. Then, the murderer used this method to kill him.
Qiao Xins analysis was very rational. There were no leaps in logic.
Lets eat first. Ill go backter and tell the police about this.
Okay. Qiao Xin nodded and said,
But if there are any new developments, remember to let me know as soon as possible.
Okay.
After discussing the case with Qiao Xin, Lin Yi returned to the dining table. After dinner, the three of them left.
The two of them went shopping, and Lin Yi returned to the branch office.
When he arrived at the office, he realized that Li Xianghui was alone.
Why is it just the two of us? Where are the others?
Li Xianghui yawned. They went back toote yesterday. No one woke up early in the morning. I just called to wake them up and theyll be here soon.
While they were talking, the office door was pushed open and Gu Yiran walked in.
Inspector Li.
Gu Yiran greeted him but ignored Lin Yi.
You probably didnt sleep well yesterday, Li Xianghui said.
I didnt go to bed until after midnight. If you hadnt called, I probably would have been up by the afternoon.
Young people should really be mindful of moderation; being too unrestrained isnt good for your health.
Who are you calling unrestrained? I just go to sleep when I get home.
But its not certain who youre sleeping with, and even though youre a woman, you should still be cautious about moderation.
You!
Alright, alright. Can the two of you be more peaceful? It hasnt even been a few days and youre arguing again.
Its mainly because some people cant afford to y. They lost a bet with me and flew into a rage out of humiliation.
Thinking about what happenedst night, Li Xianghui couldnt help butugh. Lin Yis tricks were too advanced.
He actually used Type-R to fool Gu Yiran.
Dont malign me. I, Gu Yiran, am not someone who cant afford to pay up. Ive already fulfilled my promise.
If I knew it would be like before, 1 wouldnt have yed with you.
Gu Yiran red at Lin Yi, If you dare to leak this, 111 teach you a lesson.
Dont worry, even if it leaks, others wont be interested. Dont overestimate yourself.
Stop, stop, stop. If the two of you have the energy, focus on the case. Dont argue here.
I cant be bothered with him.
Gu Yiran shook her head and leaned against the back of the chair with her eyes closed, clearly ignoring Lin Yi.
Before long, Zhang Hui walked in from outside, appearing to be in fairly good spirits.
Little Gao went to Song Deyuanspany. Now that everyone is here, lets get down to business.
Li Xianghui took out a report.
This is the autopsy report. It proves that Song Deyuan did show signs of using drugs before he died, and the dosage was quite high, Li Xianghui said.
The forensics team also gave a preliminary judgment. The victim fell off a cliff and died because he overdosed on contraband and hallucinated.
Hearing this, no one was surprised, because it was simr to their guesses.
Lets wait for Little Gaos news and see what he can find out. Then, well interrogate the suspect in custody.
Brother Li, I also found some clues here.
Lin Yis words attracted everyones attention.
What did you find? Tell me about it.
Lin Yi connected the surveince video to theputer and yed it again for everyone, but Li Xianghui and the others didnt notice anything different. Whats wrong with the video?
Dont you think that these videos are especially clear? Lin Yi said.
On the way here, I got someone to look into it. A surveince camera of this quality would cost at least 1,000 yuan. However, with the conditions of the surrounding guesthouses, they would never install such an expensive camera.
Lin Yis words alerted the others.
As the saying goes, the butt decides the head.
The purpose of the work was to earn money, not to give evidence to the police.
From a profit point of view, installing a cheap camera would do the job as long as one could see the people captured clearly. It would not do any good to install a higher-level camera.
And most importantly, it didnt matter if one of them did it at all.
However, theplete image in the surveince footage is pieced together from four sets of cameras.
The rity of all four camera sets was almost identical, suggesting they were likely from the same brand!
This detail was quite suspicious!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Seeing everyones expressions, Lin Yi knew that they understood what he meant.
Then, he repeated the results of Qiao Xins analysis.
This point was equally rming.
Lin Yi, youre good. You can even see through this. Looks like we have to work harder, or we wont be as good as you.
Lin Yi wasnt greedy for credit and he said honestly,
I have a friend whos an old fan of Conan. She analyzed it for me while we were eating.
Your friend is really amazing, Li Xianghui praised. Then, he said,
Now, we can confirm that this is a murder case, so we have to change the direction of the investigation.
We found Du Juan and Song Deyuans phone records yesterday. This is very important evidence. Do we need to interrogate them first?
Not for the time being. Li Xianghui thought for a moment and said.
But from now on, everyones visits are restricted until the detention period ends!
Got it.
Little Gao went to investigate Song Deyuanspany. Hell probably be back for a while. Li Xianghui looked at Lin Yi and Gu Yiran and said.
The two of you go to the scenic area again and investigate the surveince footage. See if you can find anything new.
I dont want to go with him. Gu Yiran said, 1 will go with Brother Hui.
Dont. Im going to have a second child soon. I have to find a ce to catch up on my sleep every night, Zhang Hui said.
Just go. Why do you have so many requests?
Got it, Brother Li.
Gu Yiran was unwilling to go out with Lin Yi. Thetter said,
Whats wrong? Didnt you keep boasting earlier? If you have the ability, dont go with me.
Are you trying to anger me on purpose?!
Gu Yiran raised his leg and kicked Lin Yi.
Lin Yis reaction speed was far faster than Gu Yirans. He dodged easily, grabbed her arm, and threw her over his shoulder.
Whoosh!
He threw Gu Yiran to the ground.
F*ck! My butt!
Lin Yi left, and the people from the other departments stuck their heads out to see what was going on.
What are you looking at?!
Gu Yiran said angrily and followed him out.
She wanted to rub her butt, but with so many people watching, she felt embarrassed.
Damn it, why did she fight with him for no reason?
Muttering under her breath, Gu Yiran reluctantly got into Lin Yis car and they headed towards Erlong Mountain Scenic Area.
Is there a nail under your butt? Cant you sit down obediently for a while? Is your sanitary pad crooked?
You still have the cheek to say that? If it werent for you, I wouldnt be like this.
That butt of yours is all dry and shriveled. Theres no meat at all. Itll definitely hurt if you fall. Lin Yi said.
Exercise more when you get back. Train your perky butt. That way, it wont feel anything if you fall.
Who are you calling shriveled? 1 have a butt too!
Mothers milk leads to filial thoughts, whatever you say goes.
Damn!
The rest of the journey was silent.
Gu Yiran flipped through the details of the case while Lin Yi drove.
Theres something else 1 dont understand.
Gu Yiran was a person who distinguished between personal and professional matters. Although she may not think highly of Lin Yi in private, she did not let that affect their working rtionship.
Shoot.
The murderer wanted to kill Song Deyuan. He thought of using contraband to make him hallucinate and fall off the cliff to die. But how could the other party be sure that Song Deyuan would fall off the cliff at that ce?
Gu Yiran voiced his doubts.
If your guess is true, the murderer deliberately adjusted the camera to cover up the murder as an ident that fell off the cliff. However, if Song Deyuan takes a few more steps forward, the video would miss him. The preparation of the surveince video will be useless.
Ive thought of that too. Lin Yi pondered.
Therefore, at the time of the crime, its very likely that the murderer wasmunicating with Song Deyuan. Then, he asked him to stop at the designated ce. That would exin it.
Gu Yirans eyes lit up, ording to you, the person who kept in touch with Song Deyuan might be the murderer!
Thats right! Lin Yi said.
So, while were investigating the surveince footage, we have to go to the crime scene again.
Good!
More than an hourter, the two of them arrived at Erlong Mountain Scenic Area.
They quickly realized that the scenic area was already closed.
Given the incident and its coverage in the news, even if the ce wasnt closed down, its unlikely that any tourists would visit anymore.
When they arrived at the gate, Gu Yiran showed her work pass.
Can I help you?
The security guard at the door was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a square face and looked honest.
Someone fell off a cliff and died here yesterday. Open the door. We want to go in and investigate.
Okay, okay, okay. Hold on.
The middle-aged security guard was very cooperative and did not reject them.
Ordinary people were in awe of the police. Although the area heads said to close down the park, they would still open the door for them.
The railing was opened and Gu Yiran was about to go in, but Lin Yi didnt move. He nced at the surveince camera in the gate.
Although the video quality was not bad, it was still not as clear as the scene of Song Deyuan falling off the cliff.
Brother, 1 want to ask you something, Lin Yi said politely.
Huh? You want to ask me about something?
The middle-aged security guard looked flustered. I was just guarding the door. I dont know anything.
Lin Yi didnt know whether tough or cry. He understood the other partys mentality very well.
Themoners just wanted to live a peaceful life and did not want to get into trouble.
Instinctively, he was afraid that the police would investigate him. It felt ominous.
If his neighbors found out about this, they would definitely roll their eyes and despise him.
Dont be afraid. I just want to understand the situation from you. I dont mean anything else.
Then, ask away.
I think your surveince cameras are quite good. How many years have they been in use? What brand are they?
All, you want to ask about this.
Seeing Lin Yi ask about the surveince, the middle-aged security guard rxed a lot and said,
Its been almost a month. The quality is indeed quite good. Last week, an olddy scammed us. The surveince cameras captured it clearly.
More than a month ago
Lin Yi muttered, Were the cameras changed because the scenic area was being upgraded?
Im just a security guard. How would 1 know about these things? The security guard said.
Anyway, in the past, there were many cameras that didnt work well. In addition, there were always leaders who came to check the site, so they probably decided to change them.
Then there are many private businesses in your scenic area. Were their cameras also reced by the scenic area management?
The security guard thought for a while. Thats hard to say. After all, most of the people whoe here to do business are rted to the higher-ups. I dont know how the fees are calcted.
Alright, thank you, Big Brother.
No problem.
After asking what they wanted to know, they drove into the park. Gu Yiran asked,
Did you notice anything?
There should be a problem with the surveince camera. Lets go in and confirm itter..
Chapter 1705: A New Clue
Chapter 1705: A New Clue
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Soon, the two of them arrived at the crime scene.
Initially, the two of them were going to investigate the cameras.
However, they realized that there was a truck parked at the area where Song Deyuan had fallen off the cliff. There were also two small excavators rumbling as they shovelled dirt into the truck. It seemed that they had been working for a while.
There were a few people around it who seemed to be supervising the work.
Seeing this scene, the two of them hurriedly ran over. Gu Yiran shouted,
What are you doing? Stop!
Hearing Gu Yirans shout, a middle-aged man who was instructing the crew looked back at the two of them and said with a cigarette in his mouth,
Who are you? Why are you shouting?
Gu Yiran showed her ID.
Im ordering you to stop the construction!
Seeing the ID, the middle-aged man paused for a moment. Whats the matter?
Lin Yi looked at the person who spoke. He was wearing a ck half-sleeve and was already red from the sun.
He had tattoos on his arms and a golden ne around his neck. He was dressed like a typical contractor.
When he saw Lin Yi and Gu Yiran, his attitude waspletely different from the security guards. He was not afraid.
Who told you to do this here!
The head of the park. The middle-aged man said,
Someone died yesterday. The leader said that its inauspicious. Hes preparing to change this and set off a few firecrackers to ward off evil.
With that said, the middle-aged man said to the construction worker,
What are you waiting for? Get to work!
Soon the excavator rumbled again and resumed its work.
Didnt you hear me? 1 told you to stop! Gu Yiran raised his voice.
You cant order me to do that. We listen to the boss. He told me to finish my work by nightfall. Otherwise, he wont pay me. If this dys our working hours, you have topensate me!
Let me tell you, this is a crime scene. Your actions are equivalent to the destruction of evidence. If you continue to be stubborn, we have the right to arrest you!
Dont try to scare me. The leader asked me to do this. Im just doing it for money. The middle-aged man said.
Dont try to intimidate me. Let me ask you, if the leader doesnt give me the money, will youpensate me? Im a person who only recognizes money. Its fine if you give me that.
Dont you think youre talking a lot of nonsense? Lin Yi said in a low voice, Make them stop quickly.
How much are you going to pay me?
You got a lot of balls!
Whoosh!
Lin Yi raised his leg and kicked the middle-aged man. You talk too much. Ive given you enough face, havent I?
Lin Yi took out the item at his waist and fired a shot into the sky.
Stop right there!
Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never seen something like this before.
Even Gu Yiran didnt expect Lin Yi to do such a violent thing.
Although it was very satisfying, it did not match his status.
You, why did you hit him?!
The middle-aged man clutched his chest and pointed at Lin Yi, as if he was in the right.
Lin Yi walked over and squatted down. He grabbed the middle-aged mans hair and whispered.
With your behavior, I can tell that you were a hooligan in the past. The tricks you use are useless on me. Its considered a light punishment that 1 only gave you a kick. If you dare to force me again, Ill put youin jail for life.
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he didnt know what to say.
Soft people were afraid of hard people, and hard people were afraid of those who didnt care about their lives.
This was a ssic example of the metaphor.
Get out of here!
Lets go now.
After being beaten up by Lin Yi, the middle-aged man became obedient. He didnt dare to mention money again and left with his men.
We were toote.
When Lin Yi fought with the other party just now, Gu Yiran went to the scene to investigate.
He discovered that more than half of the area had been destroyed. Although the remaining portion was still intact, it would not be of much worth to the investigation.
Lin Yi pointed to his left, about a meter away.
If I remember correctly, the crime scene was right there.
Gu Yiran nodded, Almost. I checked just now. There is nothing there anymore, so this is quite suspicious.
Lin Yi looked around and said,
The so-called suspicious points are just our own guesses. Although its likely, its also perfectly reasonable for the park to do this.
Lin Yi remembered that when he was in high school, a rtive who treated him well passed away.
Originally, his mother did not n to bring him along, but because she was good to him, she let him follow.
Out of curiosity, he took a closer look at the deceaseds face, but when he got back, he got beaten up by Wang Cuiping and had to take several baths.
For the next few days, she even prepared a peach tree branch and made him keep it in his bag for a week. She said that this could ward away unclean things.
Due to this, Lin Yi understood the leaders of the scenic area very well. They valued Feng Shui more than ordinary people.
But theres also the possibility they were deliberately sabotaging the scene.
Dont make this matter public. Just investigate it secretly.
Then, Lin Yi looked up. Lets go up and take a look first. Well bring the surveince equipment back.
Okay.
Over the next hour, Lin Yi and Gu Yiran took away all the surveince cameras.
Other than that, he also went to other ces in the scenic area to retrieve a few more surveince cameras. He even took away a few of the cameras from the hotel that Song Deyuan was working on.
On the way back, Gu Yiran drove. Lin Yi used this time to chat with Ji Qingyan.
Although she expressed her support, she stillined a little. She felt that Lin Yi was getting too tired from work.
Lin Yi could only smile andfort her, trying to calm her down.
When the two of them returned to the police station, it was already past three in the afternoon.
At the same time, Gao Mingjun, who had gone out to investigate Song Deyuanspany, returned. There was arge pile of documents on the table, and Li Xianghui and the others were flipping through them.
Youre back. Li Xianghui greeted.
Anything new?
Gu Yiran sat on the chair andbed her hair.
More than a month ago, the entire scenic area changed their security cameras. We brought a few back from different ces and n to study them. Therefore, our previous suspicion is true. There is indeed a possibility they were intentionally misleading us.
Apart from that, there is another strange incident. Gu Yiran continued,
The ce where Song Deyuan fell off the cliff is being cleared by the scenic area. Its impossible for us to gather any further clues there.
Thats pretty normal, Zhang Hui said.
After such an unlucky incident, those in business would definitely tidy up a bit and then set off some firecrackers and the like.
But theres also the possibility they are deliberately sabotaging the crime scene.
Do you suspect other clues might be left at the crime scene? Li Xianghui asked..
Chapter 1706: A Wave of Connotation
Chapter 1706: A Wave of Connotation
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
During our journey, we analyzed that if the murderers intent was to make Song Deyuan fall off the cliff himself, it would be highly risky, Gu Yiran said.
If hed taken a few more steps, hed have left the surveince camera frame. Then careful surveince wouldnt have helped.
So you suspect that someone deliberately led Song Deyuan to the scene of the incident? Li Xianghui said.
Yes, and we all think thats a very good possibility. Otherwise, theres a high chance that the murderers n would have failed.
Li Xianghui and the other two nodded silently. I thought of that possibility too.
However, the scene was destroyed, making it very difficult for the subsequent investigation.
I was careless in this matter. At that time, 1 thought it was a suicide, so 1 didnt send anyone to close the scene.
Thats normal. Who would have thought so much? Moreover, wed already investigated at that time, Zhang Hui said.
Lets put these things aside for now. Lets take a look at these financial statements and project contracts first. Im getting a headache from looking at them, but I didnt find anything wrong, Gao Mingjun said.
Lin Yi picked up the documents on the table and looked at them. They were densely packed and gave him a headache.
He had to ask He Yuanyuan for help with such a trivial matter.
Brother Li, give me the things. Ill get someone to take a look at these things and see if they can find something.
You have a friend who can do that? Li Xianghui asked in surprise.
Didnt 1 tell you before? If you want to build a house, 1 can help you contact the excavator. Ill handle it.
Alright, youll have to work hard on this.
Its a small matter.
Li Xianghui nodded. Didnt you guys bring back a lot of cameras? Lets take a look now and see if theres anything fishy about them.
Lin Yi and Gu Yiran brought back a total of seven cameras.
Cameras one to four were near the scene of the incident, capturing footage of Song Deyuan walking to the edge of the cliff and eventually falling off.
Camera five was from the second floor restaurant of the hotel, camera six was located at the hotel entrance, and camera seven was randomly picked from another location to serve as aparison.
The few of them held the camera and looked at it for a while before Zhang Hui muttered.
They seem to be the same. Theres no difference.
Lets connect them and check the scene first, Lin Yi said.
If our previous guess is correct, then there must be a difference in the quality of these cameras. Otherwise, the inference wont be valid!
The others agreed with Lin Yis point and began to connect to the cameras.
As expected, after connecting all the cameras, they discovered a problem.
Among cameras one to four, the image quality was quite clear. Although cameras five to seven were also good, their disy quality was somewhat inferior.
Huff.
Gao Mingjun let out a long breath. Now, Im ioo% sure that this was a carefully nned murder case.
But theres another problem. Zhang Hui picked up camera three and seven. These two cameras are the same, but the disy quality is different. How do you exin this?
Thats easy to exin, Lin Yi said, Even if its the same on the outside, it doesnt have the same internal structure.
What are you suggesting?
Someone might have tampered with the machine, Lin Yi said.
Its just like how some people look like urban beauties on the surface, but deep down, they have the heart of an auntie.
Huh?? Zhang Hui was stunned. What do you mean by the heart of an auntie?
Its like how someone looks beautiful on the outside, but her underwear is very conservative. Its even inferior to the style of an 8o-year-olddy Why did you kick my stool?
The three of them looked at Gu Yiran.
Zhang Hui and Gao Mingjun looked at Gu Yiran with curious eyes.
Why are you all looking at me? Hasnt sister-inw been taking care of you these past few days?
Hehe
The two of themughed awkwardly, as if to say, we all understand
Alright, stop joking around. Li Xianghui said,
At this point in the investigation, a lot of things are clear. Im going to summarize.
Now, we can confirm that although Song Deyuan fell off the cliff himself, there was someone who induced him to do so. Therefore, he was murdered.
The suspect might be his son, Song Zhe, and his wife, Liu Fang, or his mistress, Du Juan.
Agreed, they all replied.
Li Xianghui looked at his watch. Its about time. Lets go over and interrogate them to see if we can dig out anything.
The suspects were only under suspicion, and the detention period was limited.
If the problem could not be resolved within the specified time, then they would have to be released.
Now that new evidence had been found, it was crucial to take advantage of this time for a re-examination.
Little Zhang, Little Gao, you two go interrogate Liu Fang. Ill interrogate Song Zhe. Little Yi, Little Gu, you two go interrogate Du Juan.
Good!
After receiving their missions, the three of them walked towards the interrogation room.
After the third trial, Lin Yi saw Du Juan again.
At the third trial, Lin Yi saw Du Juan again. After several days in detention, Du Juan looked significantly worn out.
However, one could still glimpse the beauty she possessed in her prime, which was quite striking.
To say she was a woman of fading beauty, yet still charming was not an exaggeration at all.
This time, when the two of them saw Du Juan, she was no longer as nervous as the first time. Instead, she was very calm.
However, her eyes had lost their luster, as if she had epted her fate.
Is there anything you want to tell us? Gu Yiran asked calmly, If you tell us the truth, well forgive you. If you resist, well punish you severely. You can speak now. These will bring about two very different oues.
I really didnt kill Song Deyuan! 1 was working in thepany when he got into trouble. How could we have killed him? Du Juan looked aggrieved and innocent.
Besides, Im his mistress. He gives me 50,000 yuan every month. Im still relying on him to live. Why would I harm him?
Since he gives you money every month, why are you still working? Gu Yiran flipped through the materials in his hand and said,
As far as we know, the onlinepany you work for only does ordinary clerk work. Your monthly sry is 4,200 yuan. Its not much.
Because I know that men are unreliable. Song Deyuan can only support me for a few years. When Im old in a few years, he will definitely look down on me. I have to find a stable job, Du Juan said.
Although the sry of thispany isnt high, its work is quite leisurely. Moreover, it pays insurance and money. It can guarantee its retirement in the future.
Tap, tap, tap.
Lin Yis fingers tapped the table rhythmically.
This was his habit. He did it when he was thinking about problems.
There was nothing wrong with Du Juans statement, but it was clear that she was not a smart person.
After being a lover for so many years, she had yet to make use of Song Deyuans connections and resources to start her own business.
This was a failure on her part..

Chapter 1707: No Clues
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
As if reading Lin Yis mind, Gu Yiran asked,
With your rtionship with Song Deyuan and his resources and connections, 1 dont think itd be difficult for you to start your own thing, right?
Secondly, youve only been doing this job for about four months. You must have just found it. You even took a lot of leave during this period. I dont think this is what a good employee should do.
Then, Gu Yiran waved the report in her hand and continued,
Can I take it that you dont want to work at all? You only wanted to use Song Deyuans resources to develop your career. However, he didnt agree. You two had a disagreement about this, so you flew into a rage and killed him.
Lin Yi pursed his lips.
Shes already considered pretty good. If you saw He Yuanyuan, youd know what a f*cking employee is.
No, thats wrong! Du Juan became excited.
We did have some arguments recently, but there were no substantive problems. 1 also know my own ability. Im not cut out to start apany, and I wont ask for such things.
And I have an alibi. What right do you have to use me of murder?
Indeed, Song Deyuanmitted suicide by falling off the cliff. Theres no real murderer here.
Then why do you suspect me! Du Juan said excitedly.
He died identally. You cant suspect me just because we have an improper rtionship!
I suspect you because of your phone records! Gu Yiran said coldly.
ording to the autopsy, Song Deyuan overdosed on contraband before he died, causing him to hallucinate and fall off the cliff!
Secondly, 20 minutes before Song Deyuan died, the two of you were on the phone for 40 minutes. I want to know what you said. Did you use drugs?
Gu Yirans expression was as cold as ice.
Lin Yi nced at her. This aura was very suitable for interrogating criminals.
I, we
Du Juan suddenly became uneasy facing Gu Yirans question.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and nced at her. Obviously, Gu Yirans approach worked.
Or rather, the call log had worked.
At this time, dont hesitate. 1 hope you can tell the truth. Gu Yiran pressed on, not giving Du Juan any chance to catch her breath.
In addition, weve also investigated your situation at thepany.
You were indeed in the office on the day of the incident, but you left halfway through lunch. Moreover, the time you left coincided with the time you video-called Song Deyuan. I want to know what you were doing during this period!
Well
Du Juans face turned pale, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
He was the one who initiated the call. At that time, I put down my chopsticks and went back to the car to video call him.
Then, 1 want to know the contents of your video call. Gu Yiran asked.
What did he tell you? Or what did you tell him?
If thats what you want to know, he was taking drugs.
Go on.
He wanted me to go over at the time, but 1 found a reason to refuse and said that I couldnt leave. After that, we kept video calling each other and continued.
Neither of them doubted Du Juans testimony.
This was because almost everyone who did these things did not do it by themselves. They had to find apanion to party with.
Du Juan couldnt rush over, so ying via video was understandable.
Then what happened? Did you touch it?
No, because I didnt have that stuff on hand, Du Juan calmly said.
Gu Yiran raised an eyebrow, What do you mean by that? If you had it, would you have joined him?
Du Juan frowned, The past few days were the days he was supposed to give me money. If he had strong demands, I would satisfy them, but hes usually easy to talk to, and 1 can satisfy him in other ways, so he wouldnt force me.
But you said earlier, since you were arrested, you hadnt touched that stuff, was that a lie? Have you touched it during this time?
Du Juans eyes shifted, Only once, but the amount was really very small, just that one time.
Why did you lie to us back then? Dont you know that this is an additional crime?
When you guys caught me, 1 was scared to death. In addition, Song Deyuan was dead, so 1 didnt tell the truth. Moreover, it was just a small amount. 1 know many people who do this. Its really not as serious as you think.
Gu Yiran thought for a few seconds and gave Lin Yi a look. Thetter understood and they walked out together.
What do you think?
Theres nothing wrong with her testimony, Lin Yi said.
If she really killed Song Deyuan for money, there would be no need for her to go to work. There are conflicts here.
Moreover, ording to the video records, it was Song Deyuan who started the video call. She didnt pick up the first call and only picked it up the second time. This greatly reduces the possibility that she was luring Song Deyuan.
Gu Yiran leaned against the wall, One more thing, she was not with Song Deyuan when the ident happened, so the possibility of her inducing him is even lower. ording to spection, when he came out of the hotel and rushed to the ce where he fell off the cliff, someone might have got him to head to the scene of the ident. Du Juan was not there, so she is not very suspicious.
This analysis is wrong. Lin Yi said.
Luring him to the scene of the incident didnt necessarily require the perpetrator to be there in person. It could also be done through electronic devices.
Moreover, the murderer installed so many cameras at the scene specifically to prove that Song Deyuan fell off the cliff by himself. If the murderer personally went out to lure Song Deyuan, it would be easy to expose themselves in the surveince footage, which would not be a smart move.
Gu Yiran thought for a few seconds and nodded as if she agreed with Lin Yi.
Lets go back first and tell Brother Li about this. Well let him decide how to deal with this.
Okay.
Then, the two of them returned to the office. At this time, Li Xianghui and the other two had already returned.
Whats the situation on your side?
Based on the current situation, Du Juan is not a suspect. Gu Yiran answered and then told them about the interrogation process.
Its the same on our side. We didnt find any useful information. Li Xianghui said.
However, during the interrogation, Song Zhe and Liu Fang both insisted that
Du Juan killed Song Deyuan for thepanys money..

Chapter 1708: When Will President Ji Return to Her Parents Home?
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
These are all their conjectures, and cant be considered evidence, Lin Yi said.
Li Xianghui nodded, Since we cant confirm the suspects guilt based on what we have on them, ording to the regtions, we must release these people, but their movements should be restricted.
After straightening his expression, Li Xianghui continued,
Little Yi, Ill leave the information on Song Deyuanspany to you. Im guessing that there must be some clues here. Lets see if we can dig it out.
No problem.
Little Zhang, Little Gao, 111 leave Song Zhe and Liu Fang to you guys. Watch them closely when theyre home, if theyre suspicious, we might be exposed.
Roger that.
Little Gu, the two of us will remain in charge of Du Juan, Li Xianghui said.
Make your own arrangements for the rest of the time. Call me if you need anything.
Roger that.
After assigning the tasks, Lin Yi took the documents and prepared to go home.
However, on the way back, he called Gao Zongyuan.
Brother Lin, do you have any ns?
Its nothing. Come to my house for dinner tonight. Ill treat you to some seafood.
Brother Lin, if you need anything, just say it. Lets not stand on ceremony.
F*ck, I was kind enough to treat you to a big meal. Why do you immediately suspect me of needing something?
Although our family isnt as rich as yours, we still have a few hundred of billion in assets. Ill throw up if 1 eat any more seafood, Gao Zongyuan said.
If you want to have a swimsuit party or something, Im willing toe.
How useless. Whats the point of a lousy swimsuit party? After all, youre a rich second-generation heir. Can you have some real pursuits in life?
You just dont know how hungry a starving man is. We cantpare to you in this aspect.
You guys are starving men who dont know how to eat their fill. Your dad here isnt as happy as you think.
Fuck, youre taking advantage of me.
Alright, stop wasting time. Just be at the Jiuzhou Pavilion at six in the evening. Call Old Qin and Old Liang as well.
I want to eat your egg fried rice.
No problem.
After hanging up, Lin Yi drove over to Chaoyang Group to pick Ji Qingyan up from work.
Although he was looking for He Yuanyuan, Lin Yi didnt call her.
He had invited Old Gao to his house for dinner. That show-off would definitely call He Yuanyuan.
With He Yuanyuans personality, she would definitely follow them.
Otherwise, letting her know that he needed her would just make her act pretentious, and put him at a disadvantage in any future confrontations, so he couldnt go about it this way.
When he arrived at Chaoyang Group, he found Ji Qingyan resting in her office with her eyes closed.
She only opened her eyes when she heard the door open.
Youre off work so early?
Upon seeing Lin Yi, the fatigue on Ji Qingyans face was swept away as she walked towards him.
Scooping up Ji Qingyans butt, Lin Yi picked her up.
Whats the point of working so hard? Just hand it over to the people below to do it, like me.
Hey, this is our familys business. There are so many eyes watching me. 1 have to be more serious.
With me supporting you, whats there to be afraid of?
Ji Qingyans heart warmed. With your words, I feel energized. 1 feel like working a 996 job is nothing.
Lin Yi smiled. Go to the sofa. Ill massage you.
I wont stand on ceremony with you.
Sheyfortably on the sofa, making a perfect S-shape with the area between her waist and buttocks.
By the way, Yuanyuan called me just now. She said that youve invited Old Gao and the others over for dinner.
She wants to eat steak tonight. I dont think we have any left in the fridge.
Lets go to the supermarket and buy some.
Okay.
Lin Yiughed in his heart. He even wanted to give himself a thumbs up. He Yuanyuan, this idiot, had really taken the bait.
Because Gao Zongyuan and the others wereing over, Ji Qingyan got off work earlier and went to the supermarket with Lin Yi. They bought a lot of things and went home. Then, they set up the barbecue grill by the swimming pool.
At the same time, He Yuanyuan, Gao Zongyuan, and the others rushed over together, chatting andughing.
F*ck, Old Lin, your hairstyle is awesome!
Seeing Lin Yi, Qin Hanughed out loud. Gao Zongyuan and Liang Jinming were the same. They were about to cry fromughter.
He Yuanyuan did not let go of this opportunity and added insult to injury.
You look like youve just been let out, hideous.
Dont you guys make fun of me. With your looks, you really cant pull off my hairstyle.
But we wouldnt get your haircut anyway, haha
Get lost,e help out, and dont act like youre all high and mighty.
Lin Yi and three others were doing physical work outside, while Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan were inside the house washing vegetables, working together very smoothl
Although Qin Han also had a barbeque shop, it still felt very different to eat here.
Soon, the preparations werepleted. Pieces of beef were ced in the pot and roasted.
Qin Han and Liang Jinming sighed secretly at the side. What a waste of such a big swimming pool. It was the perfect size to hold a swimsuit party.
They wondered when President Ji would return to her parents house so they coulde here to have some fun.
By the way, Brother Lin, 1 heard that you became a police officer. How do you feel? Did you encounter anything interesting?
Lin Yi couldnt wait to kiss Gao Zongyuan, waiting for him to ask about this.
Yes, a few days ago someone was drunk driving, hit the wall of the courthouse, and died.
Uh isnt that just asking for trouble?
Its more than asking for trouble; the family is even more ridiculous, Lin Yi said.
The family sued the courthouse, iming that their wall was built in the wrong ce, which led to their rtives death. In the end, it was the same courthouse that had to handle the case.
Damn, are they idiots? Haha
Everyoneughed out loud. What about the others? Is there anything more exciting?
Its exciting, too. Theres been a recent murder. Were investigating it, but weve hit a dead end. We cant find the killer.
Both men and women were curious and naturally interested in solving cases.
Everyone, including Ji Qingyan, showed extraordinary curiosity.
Tell me whats going on. When 1 was young, I loved to watch this kind of crime flick, Liang Jinming said.
This is the case
In order to get He Yuanyuan to take the bait, Lin Yi told her everything about the case. It took him almost an hour to exin the case clearly.
This is indeed a little difficult. Liang Jinming said.
His son and his lover both have motives, but they seem pretty innocent. Im guessing theyre lying too.
Although Liang Jinming liked to watch crime film, he was on apletely different level from Qiao Xin, who was a veteran Conan fan.
Qiao Xins words were reasonable, while Liang Jinmings words were nonsense.
You cant say that. Evidence is important in all this.
Thats easy. He Yuanyuan said.
The core of the problem is money. Just check theirpanys ounts.
Weve already handed it over to the relevant departments, but there hasnt been any results for the past few days. Were also waiting.
Theyre not good enough. Let me take a look. If theres a problem, Ill be able to tell at a nce. He Yuanyuan was very pretentious..
Chapter 1709: The Truth Is Revealed!
Chapter 1709: The Truth Is Revealed!
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Ive got a spare copy in my car.
Then what are you waiting for? Show it to me. He Yuanyuan urged.
With me around, 1 can help you analyze the problem in minutes.
Wait here.
Lin Yi got up and slowly returned to the car, bringing back all the information about Song Deyuanspany.
Its all here.
Let me take a look at you.
He Yuanyuan read it seriously. She even took out a pen from her bag and began to mark the pages.
Although Ji Qingyan was not a professional, she was skilled enough to be He Yuanyuans assistant in this matter.
Gao Zongyuan also went over obsequiously and followed He Yuanyuan to scrutinize the document.
Lin Yi and the other two held their beers and drank one bottle after another. They all stuck to their own task.
Seeing how serious He Yuanyuan was, Lin Yi wanted to praise himself for being so smart.
Half an hourter, He Yuanyuan sorted out the information and put the pen aside. Sheined,
I think the person in charge of theirpanys finances should be dragged out and executed.
Whats wrong? Lin Yi said.
Its full of loopholes. If the higher-ups wanted to investigate it, they could close down in minutes. 1 wonder how they did it.
With the size of theirpany, the finance manager they hired mustck skill. Hes not on the same level as you, Gao Zongyuan asked.
Lin Yi and the other two rolled their eyes.
He Yuanyuan was also very smug. But then again, she had the right to act like it.
Even though thepanys ounts are full of loopholes, they have enough money to spend and gift some gifts, He Yuanyuan said.
However, there isnt much money left in theirpanys ounts.
What did they spend it on?
It seems they are developing a new project in coboration with apany called Shengke. ording to the project figures listed, the total investment is about 240 million yuan
While speaking, He Yuanyuan looked down at the document, This person named Song Deyuan withdrew 130 million yuan, it was really ast-ditch effort.
Lin Yi frowned, If I remember correctly, the liquid assets in his ount were only about 80 million yuan.
He Yuanyuan continued flipping through the documents in her hand, He mortgaged his house for 28 million yuan, then took out a loan for 22 million yuan. Thats how he gathered this much money.
I think this also proves that he was murdered, after all, he was ready to make a big move, not likely wanting to die, Liang Jinming said.
Maybe the pressure was too much, then he took some substances, and eventually fell to his death.
Everyone nodded. This possibility indeed existed.
However, his recent trajectory seems a little strange. Its a little hard to exin. He Yuanyuan said.
What went wrong?
Lin Yi asked seriously. He felt that the real problem was about to surface.
He Yuanyuan waved a document in her hand.
This is the financial statement of theirpanys travelers. It records the travel of employees at all levels.
I found out that hes been traveling a lot in the past three months.
Whats strange about that? Lin Yi asked.
The coastal areas are the most developed regions in China. Pengcheng in particr is unparalleled in the semiconductor industry. Moreover, thepany he was coborating with is also based in Pengcheng, so there was no need for him to travel elsewhere on business.
Could he have done that to find other partners? To expand his market? Liang Jinming asked.
Its unlikely, Ji Qingyan said while looking through the contract.
The contract indicates that they wanted to partner up to develop new types of security devices aimed at cracking the high-end domestic and overseas markets. Therefore, the main focus of this project is on research and development, and its not yet ready to be market-oriented; its unlikely he was trying to expand the market.
Sisters right, there are indeed some doubts here, He Yuanyuan said, smoothing her hair.
Im familiar with Huaxias semiconductor market, and even if he really was looking for partners, he should have concentrated his travels in the coastal regions, but his travel ppatern is odd.
Over these three months, he first went to the Greater Khingan Range in the northeast, then to Mount Tai, and afterwards to Gui Province. These ces are either major industrial provinces or major agricultural provinces, where the semiconductor andputer industries are rtively weak. It doesnt make much sense for him to look for partners in these areas.
His situation seems somewhat simr to yours; it should be exinable, right? Gao Zongyuan said.
Huh? How is it simr to my situation?
Arent you also always going to ces like the northeast, Guilin, Sanya? These are also not very rted to your job.
He Yuanyuans face darkened. She wanted to kick Gao Zongyuan.
Im on apany-funded vacation. How can I be the same as him!
Was there sh*t in his brain?!
Thats an industry exchange. Its different from him. He Yuanyuanbed her hair and pretended to be calm.
Youre the CFO, yet youre talking about industry exchange! What kind of sh*t was this?!
However, Lin Yi didnt pursue the matter. He had helped him so much, so he didnt mind such a small matter.
Then, do you think its possible that he was under too much pressure and went on a holiday?
A person like Song Deyuan is obviously a hardened veteran. Hes not like us young people who need to rely on traveling to relieve stress. He has his own unique way of relieving stress, He Yuanyuan said.
On the other hand, even if he did travel, the route was strange.
The ces he goes to are either mountainous or hilly. Theyre not particrly famous tourist cities. Its impossible
F*ck!
Before He Yuanyuan could finish, she heard Lin Yi exim, scaring the others.
Brother Lin, what was that? You scared me.
I understand now! 1 know who the murderer is!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyones gazes focused on Lin Yi!
Who is it?
Ji Qingyan was nervous and excited, feeling that she had made a significant contribution!
Its Song Deyuans lover, Du Juan!
How did you determine that?
When I was interrogating her during the day, I received news that she had been applying for leave frequently in the past three months. Moreover, Song Deyuan had also been on a business trip for the past three months. If the timings coincided, it meant that Song Deyuan had gone out with Du Juan! Does this prove that Du Juan is the murderer?
The case had reached the most critical point. The others were also nervous. They felt like they were acting out a script. They even felt a little creeped out.
That should be the case, Lin Yi said seriously.
The ces they go to are always ces with mountains and rivers. This means that every time they travel, she had nned to lure Song Deyuan into falling off a cliff, but every time, she failed.. However, this time, she seeded!
Chapter 1710: Locked Room Murder
Chapter 1710: Locked Room Murder
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis analysis won the rests approval.
They unanimously believed that Du Juan was Song Deyuans murderer!
The only thing they had to do now was confirm that Du Juans leave time coincided with Song Deyuans business trips!
Lin Yi took his phone and called Gu Yiran.
The voice on the other end was a little noisy, as if they were eating outside.
Is something wrong?
Do you have Du Juans leave schedule?
Leave schedule? Gu Yiran paused for a moment, Do you mean all the dates she has taken off since she started working?
Yes, do you have it?
Yes, but I need to tidy it up. Gu Yiran said seriously,
Did you find any clues?
Sort out the leave schedule first. Ill fill you in then.
Okay!
When it came to work, Gu Yiran was very serious and cooperative.
Then, Lin Yi called Li Xianghuis brother and asked him to help check Du Juans travel records oveer the past three months.
This way, when the evidence came out, it would be even more convincing.
I think theres no need to investigate. It must be that woman called Du Juan. Liang Jinming drank his beer and said,
As a mistress, she would do these things. I dont believe that she would be content with the 50,000 yuan a month.
Brother Lin, we helped you solve the case. Does that count as a meritorious deed? Gao Zongyuan asked.
Ill treat you to roasted meat.
Damn, so you were using us as tools.
Dont make it sound so bad. Were all brothers. Lin Yiughed.
Come,e, lets drink.
After discussing the case, the few of them kept toasting each other. The atmosphere was lively and joyful.
About half an hourter, Gu Yiran and Li Xianghui called at the same time.
They had found all the information Lin Yi needed.
After careful verification, they found that Du Juans leave time was highlypatible with Song Deyuans travel time.
Secondly, Du Juans travel records when she was on leave were the same as where Song Deyuan went!
There was no doubt that Du Juan was apanying Song Deyuan every time he went out.
Thus, it was very likely that she was the one who had killed Song Deyuan!
Give me a second.
Lin Yi returned to his room and turned on the video call.
Did you find out anything? Li Xianghui asked after the video call went through.
Ive got it.
Lin Yi exined the clues he had analyzed to the two of them.
After hearing Lin Yis words, the two of them were especially shocked.
It turned out that a clue like this was hidden in the dark.
Now, they could lock onto Du Juan as the prime suspect!
Im going to get an arrest warrant!
Im going back to the police station now. Gu Yiran said.
I still have something to do. Ill look for you guyster.
Theres no hurry. Well just arrest her and interrogate her slowly. You cane back after youre done with your matters.
Sure thing.
After hanging up the video call, Lin Yi stretched.
He did not expect the case to be solved so quickly.
Lin Yi returned to the swimming pool and Liang Qiming asked.
How was it? Did you arrest her?
Itll be over soon. Shell probably confess everything after a few days of interrogation.
Half of your service medal belongs to us. When the timees, dont forget to reward us based on our contributions. A roasted meat definitely wont do. We have to hold a party to celebrate.
What Liang Jinming meant by a party would be understood by the benevolent and the wise.
With the case solved, Lin Yi was in a good mood. He took out a few bottles of good wine from the wine cab and prepared to get drunk that night.
The barbecue dinner at night didnt end until past eleven.
The three of them were so drunk that they were not prepared to leave at night. There were so many houses here, so they were prepared to stay here for the night.
After taking care of Qin Han and the other two, Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan, and He Yuanyuan returned to their rooms.
As for the aftermath, the property management woulde and clean it up. There was no need to do it personally.
Ill sleep with Senior Sister tonight. You can find a ce to sleep by yourself.
Since youve helped me so much, 1 wont bicker with you. Otherwise, Id definitely have a good chat with you.
At least you have some conscience.
Ring ring ring!
Just as the three of them were about to wash up and rest, Lin Yis phone rang. It was a call from Li Xianghui.
Have you caught Her? Hows the situation?
Du Juan is dead.
All?! Dead!!
Lin Yi couldnt believe it. This news was unbelievable.
How dids he die?
Gas poisoning, Li Xianghui said.
After our people went over, no one opened the door after our knocking. After forcing the door open, we realized that there was a strong smell of gas in the room. Du Juan was lying on the bed and had stopped breathing. By the time we arrived, she should have been dead for half an hour.
Are you at the scene or at the station?
Im at the scene. Do you want toe over?
Wait for me. Ill go over and take a look.
After hanging up the phone, He Yuanyuan walked up curiously.
What happened? Dont tell me that the person who you said died is Du Juan.
Thats her. She died of gas poisoning.
F*ck, did hemit suicide?
Thats possible, but Im not sure yet. I have to go to the scene to take a look. Lin Yi said.
You guys go to sleep first. Dont wait for me.
Be careful on the road. Dont drive too fast and stay safe, she warned.
Got it. 1 know what Im doing.
Lin Yi took his car keys and drove to Du Juans house.
Du Juans house was in the outer ring. It was an old neighborhood that did not even have an elevator.
Although it was a little broken, in a ce like Zhonghai, every inch ofnd was worth a lot of money.
When he arrived at her house, the entire building was locked down. Lin Yi showed his work pass and walked in smoothly.
Brother Li, hows the situation?
The body hasnt been taken away yet. You can take a look.
In the living room, there was a white cloth covering it. It was obvious that Du Juans corpse was underneath.
He lifted the white cloth and saw Du Juans greenish-purple face. She was not wearing any clothes and appeared to have passed peacefully.
Lin Yi reached his hand into her armpit. He could still feel a little warmth, indicating she had just died not long ago.
After checking, Lin Yi covered Du Juans body with a white cloth again.
The scene was well-protected and had been maintained its original state.
However, it was very messy. Many clothes were strewn on the sofa and chairs. Even her undergarments were casually thrown all over the ce.
It was hard to imagine that this was the home of a woman in her thirties.
On the dining table, there was a half-eaten single serving of hot pot takeout which had already grown moldy.
It seemed that she was hurriedly taken away by the local police while she was eating.
When she returned in the afternoon, she didnt tidy up the house and went straight to her room to sleep, exhausted both physically and mentally.
Then, she never got up again
Chapter 1711 Killing Method
Chapter 1711 Killing Method
Then, Lin Yi went to her bedroom.
The bed was a mess, and there were scratches on it. The makeup on the dresser was scattered on the floor, but it didn''t look like there was a fight. It looked more like she had struggled.
After looking around, he did not find anything suspicious in Du Juan''s house. Then, he returned to the living room and met up with Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran.
"Did you find anything special at the scene?"
"Did you find these four things?"
"Pinhole cameras?"
Li Xianghui nodded, "They were hidden very discreetly, scattered throughout the two bedrooms, the bathroom, and the kitchen, providing 360-degree surveince with no blind spots."
"Du Juan shouldn''t know about this, right?"
"That''s the guess, but we''ll have to analyze what exactly happened. We can''t jump to conclusions right now."
"The body has been carried away. Are there any preliminary results? Can you confirm that it was a suicide?"
"Other than these four cameras, we haven''t found any useful clues, but it doesn''t look like a suicide." Li Xianghui pointed at the kitchen with his chin.
"Come with me."
The two of them went to the kitchen, and Lin Yi nced at the stove.
The switch was off.
Logically speaking, if it was a suicide, the gas switch should be on. It wouldn''t be turned off at this time.
"That''s not the point. Look at this."
Li Xianghui pointed at the gas pipe.
"There''s a corroded hole here, but upon examination, traces of tampering were found, which pretty much confirms it was a homicide. However, there are no clues at the scene, making it difficult to track down the murderer."
Lin Yi took a deep breath.
Song Deyuan''s case had yet to be resolved, and now there was another locked-room murder case.
This case was getting more and more interesting!
As the two of them were talking, a forensic expert walked over.
"Inspector Li, the results are out. The victim, Du Juan, died from poisoning after suffering from carbon monoxide overdose while she was asleep. There are no scars on her body, and there are no signs of her being vited. We can confirm that she didn''t fight with anyone when she was alive. It''s a ssic locked-room murder case."
"I''d like to ask, don''t people wake up choking on too much carbon monoxide while they''re sleeping?"
"It''s possible, but it depends on the circumstances. The amount of carbon monoxide leaked was not significant. By the time she realized what was happening, her bodily functions were already impaired, making it very difficult for her to respond effectively."
"Moreover, her bed was very messy, with wrinkles all over, indicating that she struggled for a while after being poisoned, but it was to no avail."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you."
After reporting the victim''s condition, the forensic expert turned around and left. Lin Yi and the other two gathered together and began analyzing the case.
"Are there any surveince cameras in the area? Did you find anyone suspicious?"
Gu Yiran shrugged, "This is an old neighborhood. The surveince cameras are all decorations. None of them are working."
"That''s a little strange." Lin Yi said.
"After leaving the police station, our people have been secretly following her. When did the murderer go in and destroy the gas pipe?"
"I''ve already asked the people in charge of watching Du Juan. They can confirm that Du Juan didn''te out after entering, and no one has entered her house."
Lin Yi was thinking the same thing as everyone else. They didn''t understand what was going on.
Now they were in a deadlock again. How had the killer entered the house?
"Is there a possibility that the murderer entered in advance to fulfill his intention to kill?"
"Right now, there''s only one possibility. They live on the sixth floor, so it''s unlikely someone came in through the windows from outside as it would be too visible," Lin Yi said.
"But the issue is, the gas leak was from a pipe, and that section doesn''t have a valveit''s a continuous leak. When Du Juan came back, she would have definitely noticed something was wrong. It''s even more unlikely that she would go to sleep under those circumstances, which is contradictory."
Lin Yi''s question was also the key to this locked room murder case.
''How did the killer control the gas in the pipes?''
If he could solve this, he would be able to figure out the murderer''s modus operandi.
Lin Yi went to the kitchen and saw the destroyed gas pipe.
Then, he carefully went up and touched it.
There were some small barbs in the destroyed area. It was obvious that it was man-made.
Lin Yi looked at it carefully for a long time, but he still couldn''t figure it out.
There was no one inside, but the other party could control the opening of the hole.
How did they do it?
"Huh?"
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about the problem, he realized that something was wrong.
He saw a ck substance smaller than a sesame seed beside the hole. It didn''t seem to be rust.
"Brother Li, do you have any tweezers?" Lin Yi said.
"Did you find anything?"
"There''s something very strange on the pipe. I''m going to get it and investigate"
"Wait a minute."
Li Xianghui walked to the forensic expert and asked for a pair of tweezers before handing them to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took another tissue and carefully removed the ck substance.
"What is this?" Gu Yiran asked.
Lin Yi shook his head and stared at the small ck substance.
"I''m not sure yet. I took it from around the hole."
"But it seems to be sticky. I saw it stick to the forceps just now."
"Sticky?!"
Realization dawned on Lin Yi as he hurriedly ran to the window. His eyes widened as he saw what he wanted to see!
Du Juan, although beautiful, was not virtuous, which could be seen from the furnishings in her home.
Or rather, there are few virtuous women who be someone else''s mistress.
Thus, the windowsills in her home were not clean, especially around the PVC windows, which were covered in dust.
However, there was a white line that divided the dust on the PVC window into two sections.
At the same time, Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran walked over.
"What did you find?"
Lin Yi pointed at the white mark on the window.
"I understand how the killer did it."
Neither of them spoke, waiting for Lin Yi to continue.
"The killer snuck into the house before Du Juan returned. Then he quietly made a small hole in it and sealed it with tape as fast as he could. That way, the pipe wouldn''t leak anytime soon."
"And then, how did he pull off the tape?"
"Fishing line!"
"The murderer was outside. He used a fishing line to connect the tape at one end of the pipe. When the time was right, he pulled the fishing line outside and sessfully detached the tape. The gas inside would naturally leak out."
"I understand!" Li Xianghui said.
"The white mark by the window should be the mark left by the fishing line!"

No wonder the rest of the ce is covered in dust while only that spot is clean. It turns out that he used an approach like this, Li Xianghui said.
The murder method has been confirmed, but there is another problem. How did the murderer confirm that Du Juan was asleep? Gu Yiran said.
He wasnt in the room at the time of the crime, so there was no way to determine Du Juans state. If the tape had been removed early, Du Juan, who wasnt asleep yet, would have noticed immediately. His n would have been exposed.
Cameras!
Have you forgotten? When we were searching, we found a total of four pinhole cameras that were ced in the two bedrooms, the toilet, and the kitchen. Du Juan was closely watched, so her every move was clear to the perpetrator. It was not difficult to confirm her state at that time.
Gu Yiran frowned and looked confused.
Is it possible that the person who installed the surveince cameras was the same person who killed Du Juan?
Its very possible!
Lets take these four cameras back first and get someone from the technical department to check them out. See if they can find the IP address that they are paired to. If they can, it wont be difficult to find the murderer afterward.
The two of them nodded in unison. They agreed with the next steps.
Weve more or less understood the situation at the scene. Lets go back first. Li Xianghui said.
Ill get someone to secure the scer. If theres anything else, 111e over and check it out.
Lin Yi and Gu Yiran nodded. It was alreadyte at night, and it not a suitable time to discuss the case further. They decided to sleep on it and continue the discussion tomorrow.
We have to keep a close eye on Song Zhe and Liu Fang, Lin Yi said, It wont be good if something happens again.
Dont worry, Ive already called ahead. Li Xianghui looked at it and said.
Im going to work at ten tomorrow. You dont have to go so early. Sleep well at home.
Got it.
After a few simple instructions, everyone walked out together and got into their cars to go home.
After midnight, Zhonghai became quiet and calm.
It was like a woman who had lost her charm and became simple and peaceful. At the same time, she was also a little lifeless.
Lin Yi held his head with one hand and drove expressionlessly.
The dim streetlights swept past his face one by one, and his mind was filled with thoughts of the case.
There was no doubt that the murderer had killed Du Juan at this time, which meant that she must know the truth of this matter or at least a portion of the truth.
The murderer was afraid that they would be exposed, so he took action in advance.
From this perspective, the suspicion on Song Zhe and Liu Fang would be greatly reduced, as they were under constant police surveince, making it impossible for them tomit the murder themselves.
As for hiring someone tomit the murder, that too was highly unlikely, as there would be no need to resort to such crude methods.
Moreover, no one would dare to take on such a job.
Although money was a good thing, life was more important.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yi still couldnt figure it out.
Now, the only clues he had were those cameras.
He hoped that someone from the technical department could track the IP address so that the truth would be revealed.
Just like that, Lin Yi slowly drove the car home and quietly returned to his room to rest.
However, a few minutes after he fell asleep, he heard a knock on the door.
Lin Yi got up from the bed angrily.
He Yuanyuan, f*ck your grandmother!
How many years has it been since my grandmother died? He Yuanyuan stood at the door and said.
I want to eat your fried rice. Get up quickly.
I dont have time to cook for you. 1 need to sleep.
If thats the case, I wont help you analyze the case.
Ive analyzed everything. Youre as useless as a downed tool.
But 1 found something else.
Wait a minute!
Lin Yi got out of bed and opened the door to find He Yuanyuan and Ji Qingyan outside.
What did you find?
Cook first. Ill tell you after youre done.
Ji Qingyan chuckled as she made her way downstairs. She was already used to the two of them behaving like this.
With Lin Yis current level, even if he didnt sleep for the entire night, it wouldnt affect his mental state. He simply put on his clothes and went to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Qin Han and the other two were still sleeping soundly in the other vis and didnt get up.
Lin Yi was also very considerate, doing a lot and bringing out their share as well.
Tell me, what clues have you found?
Actually, its not anything important, He Yuanyuan said:
Yesterday, while checking theirpanys documents, we found that Song Deyuan was working on a major project. If theres enough time, we could further investigate thepany he was coborating with to see if we can find any clues.
Thats it?
Yes, thats it.
F*ck, what kind of clue is this? If I had known, 1 wouldnt have gotten up.
Arent you a little too demanding? He Yuanyuan said.
Besides, youre the first to see me in my new clothes today. You should be content.
As she spoke, He Yuanyuan even spun around on the spot. 1 realized that I can wear many of the clothes that Senior Sister bought. Senior Sister even said that I look like a celebrity in this outfit. What do you think?
You dont look like a celebrity. You look like an inte influencer.
Which inte influencer?
Liang Zhichaos mother.
F*ck! He Yuanyuan cursed. I wanted to tell you more clues on ount of your good performance. Hehe Bye bye I guess.
Ill give you a raise.
Come,e,e. Lets talk slowly.
He Yuanyuan said with a smile,
After you left yesterday, 1 had nothing to do, so I looked at theirpanys materials again and discovered a shocking coincidence.
Go on.
He Yuanyuan looked at Lin Yi mysteriously, her expression simr to Qiao Xins.
In the three months before he fell off the cliff, Song De had changed the cameras almost everywhere he went. Moreover, the project was undertaken by hispany!
Huh? Are you sure?
Are you doubting me? Ive checked it twice. Its genuinely the case.
This clue surprised Lin Yi a little. It could be said to be a very important clue.
However, he still had to discuss the results of the analysis together with the team.
After the three of them finished eating, they went to work.
He Yuanyuan left the car with Gao Zongyuan and took Lin Yis car to the office.
After dropping the two women off at work and returning to the precinct, it was already past io a.m., and Li Xianghui and others had already arrived.
Come on, we were just waiting for you, Zhang Hui called out.
Youre pretty capable, huh? I heard you cracked the locked-room murder method in minutes. Youre definitely going ces, Gao Mingjun said.
Its all thanks to Brother Hui, Brother Zhang, and Brother Gao.
Gu Yiran,???
Am I not a person?
Chapter 1713: A Dead End
Chapter 1713: A Dead End
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Alright, lets have a meeting first.
Li Xianghui walked to the small ckboard and listed some important clues on it.
Ivepiled this. If you have anything to say, you can add.
Now we can be sure that Du Juan was hiding a lot of things from us. What she knew was most likely rted to the murderer. Gu Yiran said.
We can now confirm that Song Deyuan has been in frequent contact with Du Juan for the past three months. Furthermore, the ces they visited were all mountainous areas. We can confirm that she could have lured Song Deyuan.
Besides that, 1 also discovered something else. Every ce that Song Deyuan went to, hispany had previously done projects there involving camera recements, Lin Yi said.
So, every attempt by the murderer was meticulously nned. It wasnt just this time; its just that this time they seeded.
With that, Lin Yi paused.
But Du Juan isnt the murderer, so its very likely that a third person was present when the two of them were travelling!
From the evidence before us, Song Zhe and Liu Fang are now even less suspicious. Zhang Hui said.
I dont think they have any interactions with Du Juan.
For the time being, that should be the case. However, dont give up on following them for the time being. Try not to make any mistakes, Li Xianghui said.
Got it. Ill keep an eye on them, Zhang Hui said.
Snap.
Gao Mingjun casually lit a cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke.
The only clues we have are those few cameras. If we can track the IP address, it shouldnt be difficult to lock onto the murderer.
Everyone nodded. This was their only hope now.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door and a middle-aged woman walked in.
Inspector Li, the technical departments report has been sent over. Its all here.
Okay, thanks.
After thanking her, Li Xianghui took the report and hurriedly opened it. However, when he saw the contents, his expression was ugly.
What happened?
The IP address disyed is Song Deyuanspany.
Hispany!
Hearing this news, the expressions of the others changed.
If that was the case, it meant that the person spying on Du Juan was Song Deyuan and had nothing to do with the murderer.
Thats understandable. Lin Yi said.
In order to prevent Du Juan from cheating, he secretly installed a camera in her house to monitor her. This makes sense.
I didnt expect this old man to be so petty. Hes so attentive to a lover. Hes acting like its true love. Gao Mingjun said.
But at this point in the case, the trail is dead.
Li Xianghuis words made everyone fall silent.
Even if they wanted to investigate it further, they couldnt find anything.
Little Gao, Little Zhang, continue investigating Song Zhe and Liu Fang. See if you can find any other useful information, Li Xianghui said.
Okay.
Little Yi, Little Gu, you two investigate the people around Du Juan. Dont dismiss their rtives, friends, and colleagues.
Understood.
Lin Yi replied,
Brother Li, when I was checking theirpanys information, I found that Song Deyuanspany and apany called Sheng Ke are working on a project together. If possible, 1 suggest investigating thispany too.
Alright, Ill do it. Li Xianghui said.
The tasks have been assigned. Everyone, go and do your work. Try to find clues as soon as possible.
Yes!
Everyone walked out of the office while yawning. It was obvious that they had not rested well for the past few days.
Lin Yi could still hold on, but the rest couldnt. They were going to find a ce to sleep before the investigation.
Brother Lin!
When Lin Yi came out, he happened to see Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin.
Are you going out?
Seeing that the two of them were dressed neatly, Lin Yi asked casually.
Its the same Te case from that day. The results of the third-party test came out. They said that there was nothing wrong with the cars braking system. It was caused by the owners improper handling.
No problem?! Where did they do the check?
On the day of the ident, he had already tried it. There was definitely something wrong with the car. There was definitely something fishy about this oue.
Its a report from the official quality inspection department. The female car owner has objections to this, so she called the police again.
Arent they obviously still trying to bully her?
You cant say that. After all, the official test results are out. It might be because of that woman. Zhang Peng thought for a moment. It might really be a scam.
Lin Yi patted Zhang Pengs shoulder and said earnestly,
The world may not be as bad as you think, but its not as good as you think either.
Lin Yis words woke them up.
Brother Lin, you mean
Its fine as long as you understand. Dont say it out loud, Lin Yi said.
Lets go. Since 1 have nothing to do, Ill go with you to take a look.
After dealing with Song Deyuans case for the past few days, Lin Yi felt that it was time for him to get his mind off it.
Thats good. With you around, the problem will probably be resolved smoothly. Otherwise, theyll try to argue with us again.
Lets go and take a look.
The three of them got into the car and drove toward the Te 4S store.
At the same time, arge group of people surrounded the entrance of the 4S shop.
Other than the onlookers, there were also a few car owners who came over to defend their rights. The scene was even more intense than thest time.
However, the person in charge of the 4S shop, Li Donglin, did not appear. Instead, he sat on the sofa in the shop as he spoke to Mark.
As for the matters outside, they were handed over to the others in the shop.
These people are really too much. Dont they know their ce? They still want to fight me?
Director Li, Im really impressed, Mark said.
Without you, we would be at a disadvantage.
Li Donglin blew on the hot coffee.
The police were there at the time, and I still dared to let them do the examination. Thats how confident I was. Ive known the leaders of the quality inspection department for many years. All 1 have to do is say a word to them to deal with such a small matter.
Mark gave him a thumbs up. He was very impressed with Li Donglin.
At this moment, the security guard in the shop jogged over.
President Li, the people outside are still unwilling to let it go. They said that they wont ept that quality inspection report and are still making a fuss outside.
How annoying. Looks like they wont know pain until we hit them.
Li Donglin put down his coffee and stood up.
Ill go out and take a look. Im sure Ill be able to deal with them.
Then, Li Donglin and Ma Ke walked out.
Seeing the two of theme out, the people who came to defend their rights and watch the show surrounded him, but they were stopped outside by the security guards in the shop.
Are you guys done? The report is already out. Its your fault for not handling the cars well.. You still want to scam us? Do you believe that 111 sue you now?!

Chapter 1714:I Think Theres Something Wrong With This Car
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Theres something wrong with this report. You must have tampered with it We wont ept it, the beautiful young woman said.
Are you crazy? This is an official report. How could we tamper with it? Also, Im telling all of you here to get out within three minutes. Otherwise, dont me me for being impolite.
Stop trying to scare us. Dont think that were afraid of you.
The beautiful young woman put her hands on her small waist and confronted Li Donglin.
These people in front of us are all Tes car owners. There have been many problems with the cars since we got them. Today, were here to defend our rights. If you dont give us an exnation, we wont leave today!
Let me tell you, I dont want to argue with you since youre a woman. Dont make me angry. Li Donglin pointed at the beautiful young woman and said. TH say it again. If you dont leave in three minutes, Ill get someone to chase you out. Moreover, youre looking for trouble. Be careful or Ill show you what happens!
Theres no point in threatening to sue us. Ive already called the police. Theyll be here soon. Im sure well get an exnation today!
You can bring whoever you want, its useless. We have an official inspection report stating that our vehicles have no issues at all; its entirely your problem, so stop trying to me us!
The car I bought was over 900,000 paid in full. You think Im trying to scam you? Are you out of your mind?
Who knows what youre thinking!
Li Donglins attitude was also very unyielding. He did not soften at all.
Ive already said what I wanted to say. Youre on your own. Dont me me for taking action when the timees!
Beep beep
Just as they were arguing, a police car drove over.
Lin Yi and the other two got out of the car. When the beautiful young woman saw that it was him, she quickly went up to him.
Comrade, quicklye and help us. He got a report from somewhere and lied to us by iming there was nothing wrong with the car. He even threatened to hit us.
Dont worry, 111 handle this.
Seeing Lin Yie over, Li Donglins attitude softened a lot.
Officer, we meet again.
Lin Yi didnt respond much. He looked at Li Donglin and said,
Wheres the report? Let me see it.
All the test reports are here. Li Donglin handed over the things in his hand and said confidently,
Theres no quality problem with our car. Its all caused by their poor operation.
Lin Yi looked at the test report for a long time.
The content was simr to what Li Donglin had said. He was pushing the me to the consumers.
Moreover, there was a red stamp below, which meant that this document was genuine. It was indeed issued by the officials.
Lin Yi smiled. These people were quite interesting.
Although its written clearly in ck and white, I still have some doubts I need you toe with me to the quality inspection department to double-check it.
Li Donglin was a little surprised. He didnt expect Lin Yi to chase after him like this.
No problem, we have nothing to hide, so it doesnt matter if we go there again.
Lin Yi looked at the beautiful woman. Come with me too.
Okay.
Then, Lin Yi looked at Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin.
YOU guys handle the rest. Ill bring the two of them to the relevant department and return to the station after that.
Okay.
After assigning tasks, Lin Yi took Li Donglin, the beautiful young woman, and the technical director, Mark, to conduct an appraisal together.
On the way, Lin Yi understood.
The beautiful young womans name was Yang Bing, and she was in the clothing business.
Her husband was a middle-level manager of apany, and he often went on business trips. He rarely returned home, save for a few times a year.
Ring ring ring!
On the way, Li Donglins phone rang.
Leader.
Im on my way to the Quality Supervision Bureau.
The quality inspection report is out. Theres no problem at all. Its just that the
other party is being unreasonable. This has nothing to do with us.
Alright, dont worry, Leader. Leave this matter to me.
After hanging up the phone, Li Donglin was still smug and did not panic at all.
Mark quietly approached Li Donglin and whispered,
Director Li, there shouldnt be any issues with your friends side, right? After all, its the officials who are going there. Im worried about any oversight. Dont worry. Weve been friends for many years. Nothing will happen. Li Donglin said calmly.
Also, I sent him a WeChat message just now and briefly exined this matter
He knows what to do.
Thats a relief.
Li Donglin smiled and muttered to himself,
Some peoples ns to scam us might be falling through. Our Te dealership is too big to let some thugs bully us.
You can say whatever you want. The police will help me, Yang Bing said.
Lets talk about the truthter. Li Donglin said.
The official report is out, and yet you still dont believe it. I wonder what youre thinking.
Even if you dont speak, no one will think youre mute.
Lin Yis deep voice made Li Donglin not dare to say anything else.
This young policeman was indeed a little scary.
However, the way Yang Bing looked at Lin Yi was a little different. He was very manly and much better than her husband.
Soon, Lin Yi drove to his destination and was brought to the reception room by the relevant staff.
Not long after, a man with sses walked in. He had a thin face and was wearing a white shirt, giving off a very kind aura.
Unlike Li Donglin and the others, the bespectacled man didnt show much fear when he saw Lin Yi. He only shook his hand symbolically.
Im the person in charge of the quality inspection department, Wang Xicai.
What happened?
Its like this. I think theres something wrong with this report. I came over to verify it, Lin Yi said politely.
Wang Xicai took a look at the report. This report was issued by us. What problems could there be?
From your department? Lin Yi looked at Wang Xicai and said.
Are you sure theres nothing wrong with thisdys car?
Weve already tested it strictly. How could there be a problem? Wang Xicai said.
Weve seen this kind of thing many times. It was clearly caused by improper operation. Whats wrong with the car?
Ive been driving for more than four years. I can drive both manual and automatic cars. Theres nothing wrong with my skills, Yang Bing said.
This is just your subjective evaluation of your skills. It doesnt represent your true level. Wang Xicai said,
Moreover, when the female driver was driving, there were indeed one or two issues. And after our appraisal, its clear that the quality of the car itself is not the problem. You should look for the reasons within yourself instead.
You!
Alright, stop talking. Lin Yi interrupted Yang Bing and looked at Wang Xicai.
I ve also tested it. Theres indeed something wrong with this car..
Chapter 1715: You’re no ordinary citizen
Chapter 1715: Youre no ordinary citizen
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Wang Xicai looked at Lin Yi for a full five seconds.
Comrade, what are you talking about? I want to know, how did you conduct the test?
I tested it in the courtyard of the 4S shop.
Dont tell me you think you can match our specialization? Wang Xicai said with an unfriendly expression.
And I think your actions just now were biased. I suspect even more that as a public official, you have an unspeakable rtionship with thisdy.
Dont talk nonsense. We have nothing to do with each other.
Who knows if theres a connection, but weve already issued the report. As for the remaining issues, youll have to resolve them yourselves.
Thank you, Director Wang, for proving our innocence, otherwise this matter would have been hard to clear up, Li Donglin said with a cheerful smile.
Protecting your legal rights is our duty. We cannot let those with malicious intent infringe on your interests, otherwise, who would dare to do business in the future?
Exactly. Its all thanks to you guys.
If theres nothing else, Ill take my leave first. Wang Xicai said.
You can handle the rest yourselves. If this woman continues to try to scam you, I suggest you go straight to the judicial process.
Okay, okay, okay. Ill know what to do next.
Wang Xicai nodded and turned to leave.
Wait
Before Wang Xicai could leave, Lin Yi stopped him from behind.
Do you have anything else to say?
I just wanted to double-check with you. Do you admit that you produced the report and that there is nothing wrong with the car?
Yes. What else do you want?
Its fine. I recorded it just now. Its fine as long as you can confirm this.
Wang Xicais expression changed. He suddenly got a bad feeling.
However, Lin Yi didnt exin much to him. He took his phone and called Chen Bingqiang.
Contact the person in charge of the quality inspection unit for me. Ill be in their reception room on the first floor.
Its not a big issue, but I feel there are problems with the report they issued. I want to find someone knowledgeable to conduct a re-examination and issue a new report.
Yes, the one on Corning Road. Im on the first floor. I think were in Room 109.
Alright, Ill treat you to a mealter.
Lin Yi hung up the phone, and everyone in the room looked at him.
Who are you calling? Wang Xicai asked.
You wouldnt know him even if I told you, so dont ask. Lin Yi said.
Dont you still have something to do? Go now. I dont need you anymore. Someone else will deal with thister. Go on.
Wang Xicai felt that something was wrong. Dont tell me you know people from our department?
I dont know, but my friend does. As for whosing over, I dont know, but he should be able to handle this.
Wang Xicais eyes shifted, feeling that he couldnt quite see through Lin Yi.
He was just a lowly police officer, with a status not evenparable to his own, so who could he possibly know?
Creak-
Just as the two of them were feeling puzzled, the door of the reception room was pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in.
Seeing the person who came in, Wang Xicai was shocked and hurriedly went up to greet him.
Director Zhang.
In his shock, Wang Xicais heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Why was the second-inmands leader here for such a small matter?
Comrade, let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Yaqun. What happened? Can you tell me?
Zhang Yaqun was the person Chen Bingqiang had contacted and informed of Lin Yis identity.
However, Chen Bingqiang had seriously reminded him not to expose Lin Yis identity, so he introduced himself in this way.
Otherwise, with his status, he would never say that.
Its not a big deal. Lin Yi pointed at Yang Bing.
She bought a Te and found that the brakes had issues. She went to the 4S shop, but they ignored her and even said you guys had issued a report stating the vehicle was up to standard. I think theres a problem with the inspection report and would like you to re-examine it.
No problem, given the seriousness of the issue, we will definitely take responsibility.
Zhang Yaqun smiled at Yang Bing, Dont worry, Ill arrange for an on-site inspection right now. We can have a new report ready in half an hour.
Thank you for the trouble.
A result in half an hour
Cold sweat ran down Wang Xicais forehead. Getting results in half an hour was definitely special treatment.
It was not something the average person would receive!
Moreover, with his boss speaking like this, it was clear he took this matter very seriously.
When the new test results were out, wouldnt he be exposed?!
Li Donglin was also dumbfounded. The other partys boss had personally taken charge of this matter. He definitely couldnt hide it anymore.
The next half an hour felt like a year to Li Donglin, Wang Xicai, and Mark.
They looked like prisoners waiting to be sentenced to death.
About 40 minutester, the new test report was brought back.
Leader, not only is there a problem with the brakes, but theres also a problem with the transmission shaft. Its not a small problem.
Upon hearing this, Li Donglin and Wang Xicais expressions were extremely ugly.
Zhang Yaqun was the same, but for a different reason.
The second report reveals so many problems, but the first report states that theres no problem at all. You kept saying its the owners problem. I hope you guys can give me a reasonable exnation.
Perhaps we were negligent during the first inspection, Wang Xicai exined forcefully.
As officials, cant you even check the brakes and transmission shaft? Do you think the problem can be solved with just the word negligent?
Lin Yi looked at Wang Xicai with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to look right through him.
Or is there something else going on here? Do I need to spell it out?
Inside
Stop it!
Zhang Yaqun interrupted Wang Xicais words. Go out. Ill deal with youter!
Boss
Get out!
Wang Xicai was shocked and walked out dejectedly.
The truth is out. Well get this to the judiciary as soon as we can. We must give thedy a reasonable exnation.
I dont want the car anymore, as long as you give me a refund, Yang Bing said.
Refunding the money would be letting them off easy, Lin Yi said, Its best if you hand it over to the judiciary, or else all your grievances will be in vain.
Can you really handle it for me?
Of course. Otherwise, thew would be useless.
Yang Bings eyes sparkled, Thank you so much. Without you, us small business owners would have no way to handle this.
Lin Yi nced at Yang Bing, realizing that she was no ordinary citizen.
Its all part of our job.
After speaking, Lin Yi looked at Li Donglin, Come with me, you dare to bribe anyone, youre notcking in courage.

At this point, Li Donglin did not dare to refute.
Putting aside the fact that he had done it, even if he had not, he knew Lin Yi had reasons to take him away.
After exiting, Yang Bing bowed to Lin Yi repeatedly, very enthusiastically.
After a brief chat, Lin Yi brought Li Donglin back.
Dude, I have some personal business to discuss with you.
Seeing that there was no one else in the car, Li Donglin said boldly.
Theres nothing for the two of us to talk about. As for your tricks, dont try to use them on me. Theyre useless.
Everything is negotiable. Dont be so sure. Li Donglin said.
You know how influential Te is in Zhonghai. Theres no need to make a fuss over such a small matter. Also, dont be in a hurry to refuse. Well definitely
satisfy you.
Can I take it as you trying to bribe me? Arent you afraid of adding to your sentence?
Li Donglin didnt expect Lin Yi to be so stubborn.
Since you dont agree, I have nothing more to say. The leaders of our head office will handle this matter.
You people are really something, earning money from Huaxias citizens but not caring about their lives. Even if your leaders dont show up, we will still hold them ountable.
Li Donglin chuckled and shook his head, What youre saying has nothing to do with me. If youve got the guts, say it to the Te folks.
Ill wait for them toe then.
Soon, Lin Yi brought Li Donglin to the branch office.
However, he did not deal with this matter. Instead, he handed it over to Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin.
This was a civil case, so they could handle it.
If he had the time, it was better to think more about the Song Deyuan case.
At this moment, two police cars stopped at the entrance of the police station. Gu Yiran got out of the car with more than ten people and walked inside.
Who are these people?
Theyre all people who have been in close contact with Du Juan recently. I brought them back to interrogate them.
Gu Yiran brought back more than ten people. Lin Yi looked around and found that these people were dressed differently and were continuouslyining.
But most of it was out of fear.
Even though they had nothing to do with this, it was still instinctive for them to fearing to a ce like this. Lin Yi could understand this.
Because he was Gu Yirans partner, Lin Yi didnt stay idle after he returned. He went to the interrogation room with her to learn more about Du Juan.
Time passed slowly, and soon, two hours had passed. The two of them interrogated six people in a row.
Three of them were Du Juans colleagues, and the other three were her friends. However, he did not obtain any useful information from these people.
Most of the conversation was just about her lifestyle. At this stage, this information waspletely unhelpful.
Lets take a break before we continue. Im a little tired.
Lin Yi nodded. He had noticed that Gu Yiran had been rubbing her eyes. Obviously, she had been busy with these things after the meeting in the morning. It was natural for her to be tired.
Brother Li seems to be back. Lets see how hes doing.
Lets go.
The two of them stood up and walked towards Li Xianghuis office.
There was a thick stack of documents on the desk. Although there were not as many documents as there were for Song Deyuan, it was still a lot.
Did you find any useful information? Lin Yi said.
If youre not interested in checking, Ill take it away tonight.
Theres no need for that trouble, Ive already found it out, LiXianghui said: Colleagues from the Business Investigation Division say that its a shellpany with no substantive business operations. The so-called project contracts were all fabricated.
Hearing this news, Lin Yi and Gu Yirans eyes lit up.
In other words, Song Deyuan was cheated in this project. Gu Yiran said. Following this train of thought, the murder motive appears. Lin Yi said.
Song Deyuanspany signed a contract with thispany called Sheng Ke half a year ago. In the first three months of the contract, Song Deyuans actions were very normal, but from the fourth month onwards, it changed.
My guess is that Song Devuan noticed the issues with Sheng Ke during the fourth month, so the murderer nned the murder from then on.
But the problem is that if Song Deyuan had sensed that something was wrong three months ago, he wouldnt have dyed it until now. He would definitely have settled the score with Sheng Ke immediately.
Little Gu is right. I just checked. The boss of Sheng Ke is a man named Sun Hao. Theres definitely no illicit rtionship between them. Its hard to say.
He wouldnt have to step in to do something like this himself. He could always find someone. To put it bluntly, he could find a woman to do it.
But the closest woman to Song Deyuan was Du Juan-
Zhang Hui muttered and his eyes lit up.
I understand now. Since Du Juan could be Song Deyuans lover, she might have also be Zhang Haos lover. Then, they should have worked together and killed Song Devuan.
After Zhang Huis reminder, Gao Mingjun pped his thigh.
After Du Juan was released, this person called Zhang Hao was afraid that she would reveal his secret, so he killed her immediately. That way, there would be no evidence.
That doesnt make sense either. Li Xianghui said.
Du Juan wasnt present when Song Deyuan died. Moreover, weve done a detailed investigation on her colleagues. After Du Juan hung up the video call with Song Deyuan, she returned to the rest area and had dinner with her colleagues. It was also during that time that Song Deyuan fell off a cliff and died. She couldnt have finished the job of luring him to the cliff.
Most importantly, when Du Juan died, someone observed her condition through the surveince camera, then took off the tape and let the gas leak out. Gu Yiran said.
As for the surveince camera, Song Deyuan secretly hid it at Du Juans house. It was impossible for Zhang Hao to know about this. This point is also a contradiction.
But if Du Juan had nothing to do with Zhang Hao, whats the reason for her murder? Gao Mingjun said.
What did Du Juan know that made the murderer target her?
Thinking about these things now, its probably hard to find a lead. I think we should capture this Zhang Hao. He set up a shellpany to scam Song Deyuan, at the very least he has a motive for murder.
Zhang Huis suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by the others.
No matter what his motive was, it was very necessary to bring Zhang Hao back for a trial!
Lets go. Lets do it now!
After making up their minds, the five of them tidied up their uniforms and drove towards the Sheng Ke office.
Chapter 1717: A Perfect Alibi
Chapter 1717: A Perfect Alibi
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
In less than an hour, the five of them drove to Zhang Haos Sheng Ke Limited.
All five of them were mobilized to capture one person. Zhang Hao could be considered to be quite an important target.
When they reached the building, Li Xianghui lit a cigarette and nced at the entrance of the building.
Little Yi, Little Gu, the two of you go up. Try not to rm the others and dont make a big fuss.
Got it, the two of them replied in unison.
After receiving the mission, the two of them opened the door and got out of the car. They took the elevator to the 16th floor.
As soon as they got out of the elevator, they could see two huge ss doors.
The wall behind the door read Shengke Limited, and a woman sat at the front desk.
Seeing the elevator door open, the woman only nced at it indifferently before continuing to y with her phone, as if she was watching a drama.
Lin Yi and Gu Yiran pushed the door open without hesitation.
The female receptionist put down her phone and stood up to look at the two of them.
Sir, may I ask who you are?
Gu Yiran showed her ID, Dont announce anything. Just tell me what I askyou next.
Seeing that the person who came over was a police officer, the female receptionist was also stunned and trembled. Clearly, she had never seen such a scene before and felt an instinctive fear.
Who, who are you looking for?
Wheres Zhang Hao?
Our boss went to Aomen the day before. Hes not in Zhonghai.
He left the day before?
This news was a wake-up call for the two of them.
Because Du Juan was killedst night. If Zhang Hao had left the day before yesterday, then this posed a problem.
Who was the person who killed Du Juan?
Are you sure Zhang Hao has left? Gu Yiran said coldly.
You should know the consequences of lying to us.
The female receptionist shivered with fright, I, I didnt lie, I was the one who booked the ne tickets for Director Zhang.
Alright, stay here. Ill go inside and look around, but I dont want you spreading rumors about what just happened. You understand what I mean, right?
U-Understood
After suing the female receptionist, the two of them walked into thepany.
The office area was not bad. It took an entire floor, but there were not many people inside.
Not many of the people here were doing serious work. Just like the female receptionist, they were either ying games or watching dramas.
Then, the two of them went to Zhang Haos office.
It upied an area of more than 30 square meters. The renovation style was very simple while the desk and cab were filled with documents.
They did not notice anything wrong.
It definitely looks like a shellpany, Lin Yi muttered.
However, judging from the female receptionists state, it seems likely that
Zhang Hao has left and she wouldnt be lying to us.
As a criminal police officer, she some training in criminal psychology.
In Gu Yirans eyes, the female receptionists reaction was very real. It was unlikely that she was lying.
Of course, unless she had the acting skills of a movie queen, but that was impossible.
Lin Yi nodded, He might very well be establishing an alibi for himself here.
But the problem is, if he truly wasnt present, then Du Juans death might not be rted to him, Gu Yiran said.
Moreover, we previously analyzed that its unlikely for a murderer to hire someone else tomit such a crime. If he wasnt there, then who killed Du Juan?
Its hard to say. Lets go back first and tell everyone about this. Lets see what Brother Li thinks.
Okay.
By the way, when we get back, get someone to pull up all the surveince videos from Sheng Kes office.
Ill arrange it when I get back.
After a simple discussion, the two of them returned downstairs.
Why are there only the two of you? Wheres Zhang Hao? Gao Mingjun asked.
Gu Yiran shrugged, He left the day before. He went to Aomen.
He left the day before?!
Li Xianghui and the other two were also very surprised to learn of this.
The first thing they thought of was that if Zhang Hao left, he would not have been able tomit the crime!
The perfect alibi!
Its gettingte; theres no need to go back now. Regarding Zhang Haos matter, Ill arrange for someone to investigate. No matter where he has gone, we must bring him back! Li Xianghui said.
As for you guys, dont forget the jobs you were assigned previously. At this point in the case, you cant miss a single thing.
Everyone nodded with serious expressions.
Even if he had an alibi, they had to catch him and interrogate him.
Brother Li, Ill go back with you. There are still a few people left. I need to find out more about the situation. Gu Yiran said.
It doesnt matter. Theyre not key suspects. Lets let them go first. Well call them back for the interrogation tomorrow.
Alright, Im going back to catch up on my sleep. Ive been so tired these days. Gu Yiran stretched and said, revealing half of his waist.
Alright, lets disperse.
The matter at hand hade to an end. Lin Yi went to the Chaoyang Group, but on the way, he called Qi Xianzhao and asked about his situation.
In another week, the cargo ship sent from Zhonghai will arrive at the Panem port, and this project would be nearing its conclusion.
Thinking about this, Lin Yi felt an urge to curse; after nearly half a year of back-and-forth, it had indeed been quite troublesome.
After picking up Ji Qingyan, the two of them went back together. Lin Yi went to make dinner while Ji Qingyan went back to work. They cooperated very well.
The next morning, Lin Yi went to the police station early because there were still a few people left from the day before. He had to continue the interrogation today.
When the two entered the interrogation room, the person sitting on the chair caught Lin Yis attention.
The woman was in her early thirties, wearing tight ck jeans and a simple chiffon three-quarter sleeve blouse. She had light makeup on, and her expression was somewhat haggard.
But even so, her appearance was outstanding, almostparable to Gu Yiran.
Shes quite pretty, Lin Yi smiled.
Gu Yiran pursed his lips, really amazed at this guy. How could he start by just looking at her face?
Her name is Wang Jia. Shes Du Juans cousin.
Cousin?
Du Juan is my cousin, Wang Jia said excitedly.
The police have informed you that you must find my cousins murderer. You cant let them get away with it!
Calm down first. Weve been investigating this matter. Well definitely get the victim justice, Lin Yi said.
Tell me about yourself first.
O-okay. Ive been in Yanjing ever since I graduated from university, but my job wasnt going well. Plus, Yanjing is an expensive city. I couldnt survive there, so my cousin found a job in Zhonghai.
What job? Can you tell me in detail? Lin Yi asked again.
Im a salesperson in Song Deyuanspany.
What did you do in Yanjing?
Can we not talk about this?
Whats there to hide? Did you work in a bathhouse? Are you embarassed to say?
Gu Yiran,
No, no, no. Ive never done anything so indecent
Stop, stop, stop. Im going to argue with you about this. How is a bathhouse indecent?
Gu Yiran, ???
This was not the main point of the interrogation!
Chapter 1718: You Might Even Lose Your Underwear
Chapter 1718: You Might Even Lose Your Underwear
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Wang Jia was stunned.
She had the same thought as Gu Yiran. This had nothing to do with the interrogation, right?
Cough, cough, cough Gu Yiran coughed, You are going off-topic.
Uh Lin Yi straightened his expression. Lets continue with our earlier conversation. What do you do in Yanjing?
Extras.
Extras?
This surprised Lin Yi and Gu Yiran.
This was not amon job. At the very least, they did not know anyone in their circle doing such a thing.
I wasnt good at academics, so I ended up in a vocational college. After graduating, I couldnt find a job, so I became an extra.
You havent studied this field at all, isnt that a bit of a stretch?
In todays entertainment industry, you dont really need acting skills. Just widen your eyes, find a stand-in, then touch up the images a bit, and thats it. As long as you look good and have a decent figure, thats enough.
The two of them remained silent. What she said made sense.
Lin Yi sized up Wang Jia for a while.
Among ordinary people, her looks and figure were definitely above-average.
However, she was still a littlecking ifpared to the entertainment industry. The role of second female lead would be her ceiling.
After all, she did not have the heaven-defying looks and figure of Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu.
When you were an extra, how was your ie?
Wang Jia shook her head. I was a little naive before. After I went to the set, I realized that there were many good-looking girls. My advantage was gone in an instant, so I didnt earn much money. In a good period, I could earn three to four hundred yuan a day. In a bad period, I didnt earn any money, so
So you couldnt survive in Yanjing and came to Zhonghai through your cousin? Lin Yi asked.
Thats right. Although the sry wasnt high, I had food and amodation, which covered a lot of my expenses. Its much better than when I was in Yanjing.
How much have you been in contact with Du Juan in the past three months?
Not much. If theres anything, wed contact each other on WeChat. Sometimes, wede out to shop and eat together. Otherwise, there was no other contact.
The two of them were silent for a few seconds. There was nothing eye-catching about Wang Jias testimony. There was nothing that could be used as evidence.
Then do you know about the rtionship between your cousin and Song Deyuan?
Maybe a little, Wang Jia said.
Because her sry wasnt much higher than mine, but she always wore nice clothes and used good things, so she must have had some extra source of ie.
So, you knew about her affair with Song Deyuan, right?
I knew.
Do you know how far their rtionship went?
Wang Jia slightly frowned, Just the usual stuff between a man and a woman, what else could there be?
Where were you from eight to eleven oclockst night?
I was at the office in a meeting with colleagues, which my coworkers can verify.
Its already sote, and you were still in a meeting? Lin Yi looked at Wang Jia and said.
Besides, Song Deyuan was already dead. Why were you still having a meeting?
The boss has died, but theres still the bosss son. Hes definitely going to take over in the future. Plus, thepany hasnded a big project that certainly cant fall through, so of course, we have to keep working, Wang Jia said.
Moreover, on that day, Mr. Song even called us, saying that thepanys operations should continue as normal, and that he would return to the office in a few days, so we dare not ck off.
Alright, well stop here for today.
Officer, you must find the murderer quickly. My aunt has already been hospitalized, and if the murderer isnt found, shes done for.
Dont worry, well do our best.
Afterforting her, Gu Yiran sent Wang Jia out and called the next person in.
Because both of them were in good condition, they interrogated the rest of the people until noon.
Did you find anything?
Li Xianghui, who was eating, asked.
Nothing. Gu Yiran said weakly, Its all useless.
Weve already located Zhang Haos whereabouts. The receptionist was right. He has indeed left the country. Weve traced his movements both in the airport in Zhonghai and the airport in Aomen. He couldnt have been in Zhonghai on the night of Du Juans ident. Were sure of that.
Li Xianghui said,
But I still n to bring Zhang Hao back. Which one of you has the time to make a trip to Aomen to arrest him?
Two youngrades, Ill give you guys this great opportunity for a funded trip, Zhang Hui said with a smile.
My daughter has caught a cold recently, and Im not nning to go. You two should go, its a good chance to build some rapport.
What rapport do I have to build with her? Dont insult my taste, Lin Yi said.
You were ying the victim first!
The main issue is that neither your hardware nor your software is up to par. Prove me wrong.
I admit I have abad temper, but no matter what, Im not ugly, am I? How is my hardware not up to par!
Zhang Hui and Gao Mingjun nced at Gu Yiran and probed,
The hardware Lin Yi mentioned might not be your face
Brother Gao understands me.
Gu Yiran,
Alright, alright. Dont discuss such useless things during working hours. Li Xianghui said,
The two of you have the afternoon off. Go back and prepare your things. Well set off for Aomen tomorrow.
Got it.
After packing up briefly, the two of them left the police station.
Although they were here to arrest someone, they could still take some time to walk around.
However, how much time he could squeeze out would depend on their own ability.
That night, when he told Ji Qingyan that he was going to Aomen to make an arrest, thetter was overjoyed.
It felt like he was acting in a movie. It was quite exciting.
Can youe back in a week? Ill help you pack up.
It wont take a week. Ill probably be back in a day or two.
The other party wasnt a vicious criminal. In Lin Yis opinion, he wasnt much of a threat.
Moreover, his whereabouts had already been traced. It would not be difficult to capture him.
Pack a backpack, that should be enough.
Just throw in whatever.
Mm-hmm.
The next morning, Lin Yi and Gu Yiran arrived at the airport.
Lin Yi was quite curious about Gu Yirans makeup, which was obviously done up nicely.
She wore light gray sweatpants on the bottom and ck sneakers on her feet.
Her upper body was covered with a white baseball shirt,plete with a hooded cap and sunsses, making her makeup especially striking.
Were not going on a trip. Why are you dressed like this?
Its my choice. You cant control me. Gu Yiran raised his head and said.
Youre not going to gamble, are you?
If I do, Ill be fired the next day.
Thats true. With your skills, if you really try to gamble, it wont be as simple as being fired. You might even lose your underwear.

They took off at ten oclock sharp and arrived at Aomen in less than three hours.
As a world-famous gambling city, the moment he got off the ne, he could feel the madness and openness here. It was clearly different from the introvertedness of the maind.
After getting off the ne, a man and a woman came to pick them up. They were from the Aomen police.
The mans name was Shen Guangya, and the womans name was He Wanqi. They were very humble and polite.
Upon seeing Lin Yi, He Wanqi couldnt help but take a few more nces. Even her heart couldnt help but beat faster.
Gentlemen, if theres anything you need from us in Aomen, please let us know. Well cooperate fully.
Shen Guangya said politely.
We need a car. We wont need anything else. Can you provide us with this?
Of course, Shen Guangya said.
Our leader has already said that he wants us to cooperate fully with your work. Other than the car, you can also make other requests. As long as its something we can do, well take care of it.
Theres no need for anything else for now. Weve decided to wait and see what happens, first
Then feel free to use our car.
Okay!
Subsequently, the four got into a Toyota Coro that came to pick them up and arrived at the Grand Lisboa Hotel.
Seeing the words Grand Lisboa, Lin Yi felt a peculiar familiarity.
If a website didnt feature advertisements from this ce, it was considered not worthy of hosting top instructors.
As an action movie enthusiast, if he didnt see an advertisement for the Grand Lisboa on a website, he would close it 80% of the time, thinking the website wasnt up to par.
Next to the Grand Lisboa Hotel is the famously renowned Grand Lisboa Casino on Aomen Ind.
As thergest casino on the ind, it drew tourists from all over the world whoe here to spendvishly, with the daily flow being unimaginable.
Countless people became rich overnight, while others became broke.
Lin Yi once watched a documentary about a person who jumped off a rooftop over just too yuan.
Reportedly, the individual was extremely lucky at the casino, winning over 200,000 yuan.
After exchanging all the chips, he realized he had won exactly 250,000 yuan.
Io cover his other expenses, he would need to spend 10,000 yuan of his winnings.
In an attempt to keep the amount rounded to 250,000 yuan, he exchanged 10,000 yuan for more chips, thinking his luck was still good and he could easily win a few thousand more. This way, he would have some spare change for his ne ticket and food.
However, it was this small decision that made him fall into a quagmire that he could not escape from.
In just two hours, not only did he lose all 250,000 yuan, but he also owed 400,000 yuan in foreign debt.
After this, he jumped off the roof.
Officer Lin, Officer Gu, are we going to wait here? Shen Guangya asked.
We dont want to alert the guy about this. We have to deal with it in a low-key manner.
Gu Yiran nced at the hotel next to him.
ording to the information we obtained, Zhang Hao is staying in this hotel.
We just have to wait here and arrest him as soon as he appears.
Okay.
The two of them did not say anything else. Their mission was to cooperate with them. They would do whatever they said. There was no need to give any other suggestions.
Gu Yiran stared out of the window seriously.
Lin Yi opened the window and yed games while enjoying the breeze. He didnt look like he was here to catch a criminal at all.
Gu Yiran looked back at her and didnt say anything. She was used to him being like this.
At this moment, a blue Te slowly drove to Lin Yis side. The owner of the car opened the window and stuck his head out.
Dude, have you ever driven a Te?
Huh?
Lin Yi was stunned. Because of Yang Bings case, Lin Yi knew quite a bit about Tes now.
The brand value was about the same as a BMW. If you drove a Te, people would think the owner is rich.
No.
After Lin Yi finished speaking, the car owner left without looking back.
He was trying to show off while driving a Te? Was he looking down on my little Toyota?
This is just a coincidence. Officer Lin, dont be angry. He Wanqi tried to smooth things over.
Its a small matter. We also have many people who like to show off. Im used to it.
I hope it doesnt make a bad impression on you.
That wont happen. Dont worry.
At that moment, another Te drove over. It did not stop. Instead, it moved slowly.
Dude, have you ever driven a Te?
No.
With that, the owner left again.
Damn it, this is a little too much. Why did this happen twice in a row?
Gu Yiran also frowned slightly.
Was it really necessary to act like this while driving a Te?
If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought a supercar instead.
Since when can a crappy brand like Te stand out and show off?
Just as Lin Yi was venting his frustration, a pink Te drove by, moving slowly without stopping.
Handsome, have you driven a Te before?
Stop showing off, damn it, 1 have driven one, get lost! Lin Yi cursed impatiently.
Unexpectedly, the female driver wasnt upset. Instead, she looked at Lin Yi excitedly.
Thats great, quickly tell me where the brakes are, how can 1 stop the car?
Hurry, hurry, 1 cant control it anymore.
Lin Yi,
Gu Yiran,
BANG!
At this moment, they heard a noise. They looked up and saw that it was the first Te that had collided with the car in front.
Whoever buys this stupid car will suffer.
Afterining, the others were also helpless. They could only hope that others would not buy this brand of car again. Who knew when something would happen again?
The few of them sat in the car for the entire afternoon. asionally, they would get out to stretch before returning to the car to continue keeping job.
These kinds of jobs were nothing to them. It was amon urrence.
At around eight in the evening, the few of them bought some food and had dinner.
At the same time, increasingly more people starteding and going. They walked towards the casino in groups andughed.
Most of these people were tourists from all over the world who wanted to experience the local customs.
The target has appeared!
Gu Yiran suddenly said. The three of them perked up and looked outside.
Where is he?
I just saw him get out of the car and walk into the casino.
While talking, Gu Yiran opened the door and was about to get out of the car.
Lin Yi didnt waste any time. He could not dilly-dally. If he escaped, this case would be difficult to handle.
The four of them hurriedly followed him in. They looked around, searching for traces of Zhang Hao.
However, the casino was filled with people. Finding Zhang Hao among the crowd was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
Dont waste time, lets split up and search, but be careful, dont expose yourself, Lin Yi said in a low voice..
Chapter 1720: The Aura of a Superior
Chapter 1720: The Aura of a Superior
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor EndlessFantasy Trantion
The few of them nodded and split up to search for Zhang Hao in the casino.
The casino was bigger than Lin Yi had imagined, and the interior was very
luxurious.
Lin Yi wasnt interested in these things. He looked back and forth, trying to
find Zhang Hao.
However, after searching for a long time, he did not find anything.
Lin Yi frowned slightly and muttered to himself,
Could he have realized?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yi felt that it was impossible.
His background was rtively clean, so it was unlikely that he has such strong counter-surveince capabilities. Moreover, they had been very discreet, so it was highly improbable that he discovered it.
After searching for about half an hour, Lin Yi and his three colleagues regrouped. From their expressions, it was clear that they had not found Zhang
Hao.
Theres a second floor in the casino. Could he have gone these? Shen Guangya asked.
Whats the second floor? Is it the high-level area? Lin Yi asked.
Yes, Shen Guangya said.
If the suspects worth something, theres a good chance he went to the second floor, because most of the people who hang out on the first floor are tourists.
They dont spend much.
Shen Guangyas words reminded them about the money.
All of Song Deyuans money was in Zhang Haos hands, and with his current wealth, it was only natural for him to be up on the second-floor gambling.
The two of you stay downstairs. Well go up and check it out. If there s any other news, well contact each other by phone, Lin Yi said.
Okay.
After assigning the tasks, Lin Yi and Gu Yiran walked to the second floor of the
casino.
Gu Yiran looked around cautiously, not wanting to miss a thing.
Act more natural, dont behave like a thief, Lin Yi reminded.
Do I look like that?
What do you think?
Gu Yiran didnt retort. She knew that she was a little nervous, so she adjusted her posture and walked to the second floor with Lin Yi.
Sir, maam, are you two going up to the second floor?
Halfway there, a long-legged beauty in a cheongsam bent over and smiled at the two of them.
Lin Yi nodded calmly. These kinds of things were nothing to him. He wasnt even acting at this point.
Well, ording to the rules of our casino, if you want to enter the second floor, you have to undergo a fund verification.
Fund verification?
Gu Yiran panicked. She didnt expect the casino to have these rules.
How much?
More than a million in savings will do.
Gu Yiran was so nervous that her hands and feet were sweating. She only had 20,000 yuan on her card. Even if Lin Yi was better off, the money in their hands would not exceed 100,000 yuan. Where could they get a million yuan?
Would this expose them?
Huh, so its only one million yuan. You scared me.
Lin Yi handed over his bank card, and the beauty in the cheongsam took it with a smile.
The password is 000000, check it yourself
Please wait a moment, sir and madam.
In the hand of the beauty in the cheongsam was a machine that looked like a
POS machine. She swiped the bank card lightly on it.
The moment the bnce was disyed, her eyes widened and she felt a little dizzy.
This, this was a crazy number!
Am 1 qualified to go up now?
Yes, yes.
The beauty in the cheongsam was much more polite. When she spoke, she bent even lower. One could even see the obvious ravine. Even the way she looked at Lin Yi became more and more passionate.
Sir, heres my card. If you need my help with anything, remember to call me.
Okay, bye.
Take care. The beauty in the cheongsam raised her eyebrows and watched Lin
Yi leave.
You have a million on your card? Gu Yiran said.
Did that woman give it to you?
Which woman?
The woman who bought you a car in Yuhang.
Oh, youre talking about her. Lin Yi looked at Gu Yiran and said.
Dont tell me you think Im so rich because Ive hooked up with a rich woman? What else? Gu Yiran asked, If you are so rich, why are you still a policeman? Cant I be here to experience life? Lin Yi said.
You people are too narrow-minded. You cant understand me at all.
Dont talk nonsense there. I dont believe that rich people would do such a terrible job.
I can tell from your words that youre not a good person. This is called serving
the people.
Youre bullsh*tting me.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the second floor. They realized that the second floor was half the size of the first floor, but it was much more luxurious in every aspect. It was not noisy at all.
Moreover, the people who appeared here were dressed much more exquisitely than the individuals on the first floor. They ced bets of one to two hundred thousand yuan each time. It was obvious they were spending a lot of money. Just as the two of them entered and were about to look for Zhang Hao, they suddenly saw two men in suits standing in front of them.
The appearance of the two men in suits stunned Lin Yi and Gu Yiran for a second.
Judging from their appearance and attire, they must be casino staff. However, their sudden appearance gave her a bad feeling.
Whats the matter? Lin Yi asked softly.
He was more experienced than Gu Yiran in dealing with such matters.
Sir, Madam, when we were on the first floor just now, I noticed that there were many abnormalities in your behavior. Now, 1 want to conduct a body search to ensure the safety of the tourists and the casino.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at the two of them.
Weve already had our funds verified when we entered the venue. Now, you want to search us?
At this moment, Lin Yi was no longer a police officer. He had put on the airs of a superior and looked down at the two security guards.
Under his powerful aura, the eyes of the two bodyguards flickered, not daring to look him in the eye.
Not only the two security guards, even Gu Yiran noticed the change in Lin Yis aura.
At that moment, she felt like Lin Yi wasnt a police officer at all. He was more like a big-shot entrepreneur.
That temperament did not seem to be an act either. It was as if he had always been that kind of person.
At the very least, she didnt have the ability to fake it that convincingly.
Sorry, we are just following the rules, and we hope you can cooperate with us. If you want to investigate, thats fine, but send someone with the proper authority. Your ranks are too low; dont drag down my status.
Gu Yiran was extremely nervous. She and Lin Yi had guns on them. If these people searched them, they would definitely be exposed.
But if they refused, there would be a conflict.
Caught in a dilemma, whether or not they could escape the current situation depended entirely on Lin Yi.
Sorry, sir, but this is our job, and we are the ones who must conduct the inspection.
Lin Yi shrugged with a smile and looked at the two of them yfully.
If you cant find anything on me, you two should know the consequences. It s not a wise move to frame someone you cant afford to offend..

Although Lin Yi didnt make a move, his presence was as overwhelming as a tsunami and fierce as a tiger, causing the heart rates of the two security personnel to elerate and even theirposure to waver.
Im sorry. Its our job. We still have to check, one of them said.
However, dont worry. Due to your identities, we can do it elsewhere. Furthermore, we can guarantee that we wont touch thisdys private parts. Its just a very ordinary inspection.
Alright, lets go.
Lin Yi decided not to press further. If this disy hadnt intimidated them, continuing to insist might only raise more suspicions.
Sir, maam, pleasee in.
One of them led the way and brought Lin Yi and Gu Yiran to a room.
There were two desks and a wardrobe inside. It was probably where they rested on duty.
Sir, maam, please raise your arms and cooperate with our inspection.
Gu Yiran didnt say anything. He nced at Lin Yi and saw him raise his hand. Thus, she did the same.
The two security guards dutifully searched the two of them.
But like what he said before, they did not touch Gu Yiran inappropriately.
At this moment, when one of them touched Lin Yis back, he showed a strange expression.
Sir, Id like to ask, what is this?
Take it out and see.
The security guard didnt hesitate and took out Lin Yis usual scalpel and dagger!
I suspect you
Bang!
Suspect my ass!
Lin Yis hand chopped down on the mans neck, causing him to immediately copse to the ground unconscious.
By the time the other person reacted, Lin Yis attack was already on its way.
In less than a second, both of them fainted on the ground and lost consciousness.
Is that okay? Gu Yiran frowned.
I cant say for certain about other things, but at the very least, they wont wake up within the next two hours. Lets throw these two into the wardrobe, and then well go look for Zhang Hao. We need to hurry.
Lets get moving.
The two of them deftly threw the two security guards into the closet and walked out of the room openly, as if nothing had happened.
Walking into the casino, Gu Yiran fixed his eyes on a man in white.
He had a cigar in his mouth, and he wasughing as he scooped up the chips on the table.
At the same time, Lin Yi also saw the same person. It was Zhang Hao, whom he was looking for!
No wonder I couldnt find him downstairs. He was here the whole time. Gu Yiran mumbled.
Lets go, do it!
In order not to alert the enemy, the two of them did not make a big move. Instead, they pretended that nothing had happened and walked towards Zhang Hao.
Lin Yi patted Zhang Haos shoulder from behind. Thetter turned around and his expression changed. He immediately put down his chips and asked in a low voice,
Who are you?
It doesnt matter who I am. Come with me. Stop ying.
Why should I listen to you? Zhang Hao said arrogantly.
Get out of my way. Dont keep me from ying.
Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, huh?
Alright, alright, no more games, lets find a ce to talk. You dare mess up my luck, just watch how Ill deal with youter!
Zhang Hao put away his chips and stood up with an aggressive expression, as if he wanted to fight Lin Yi one-on-one.
When he reached the first floor, Zhang Hao suddenly threw all the chips in his hand into the air.
Large amounts of chips fell like rain. When the retail investors on the first floor saw this, their eyes lit up as they rushed up, trying to snatch the chips that fell from the sky.
It was also at this moment that Zhang Hao ran out of the door as if he was running for his life!
Stop right there!
Lin Yi, Gu Yiran, Shen Guangya, and He Wanqi also caught up at the same time!
Help! Murderer! Open the door and stop them!
Zhang Hao shouted as he ran. He pulled two security guards and said crazily,
Stop them!
Faced with this sudden incident, the two security personnel didnt hesitate and shielded Zhang Hao behind them!
Go to hell!
Lin Yi didnt waste words. He delivered a flying kick to the back of one of them, and then chased after Zhang Hao!
Immediately after, Gu Yiran showed his ID and said coldly to the remaining security guards,
Dont get in the way!
Outside the door, Lin Yi stared at Zhang Hao with all his might!
With Lin Yis current D-ss level and physique that far exceeded ordinary people, it would only be a matter of minutes for him to capture Zhang Hao!
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to catch up to Zhang Hao, Lin Yi jumped into the air and kicked his back!
Thetter lost his bnce and fell to the ground, now been under Lin Yi control!
Ive already told you not to move. Why are you still running?
Who are you people? Why are you here to capture me?!
If you dont know who we are, why are you running away? Dont you feel like youre exposing yourself?
At this moment, Lin Yi no longer hid his identity and showed his ID.
I have a lot of enemies outside. I thought they were here to collect a debt.
I dont want to hear anything else now. Lets talk about it when we get back to Zhonghai.
Zhang Hao did not say anything else. At this point, it was useless to say anything.
Soon, Gu Yiran and the others caught up and handcuffed Zhang Hao. The arrest was officiallypleted.
Before they left, Lin Yi thanked Shen Yaguang and He Wanqi.
Although they did not help much, they still aided him. He had to thank him.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them escorted Zhang Hao onto the ne and prepared to return to Zhonghai.
Two hourster, it was already midnight when they arrived at Zhonghai.
However, Li Xianghui, Zhang Hui, and Gao Mingjun had no left. They were waiting for them to return.
In the interrogation room, Zhang Huis hands and feet were cuffed. After Lin Yis kick, he looked a little disheveled.
Lift your head up! Li Xianghui shouted in an imposing manner.
Why are you arresting me? Gambling in Aomen isnt illegal, right? Zhang Hui said.
Its not illegal, but Song Deyuan is dead. As his business partner, dont you want to say something?
I heard about this. Zhang Hao said.
I dont know what happened to him. He took things too hard.
Hehe
Li Xianghui sneered. I think you know why better than anyone.
What are you talking about? We were business partners. What would I know?
It has nothing to do with me!
Because you have a motive.
Li Xianghui waved the document in his hand, Your Shengke Company is just a shellpany. You scammed Song Deyuan out of over a hundred million yuan, and when he found out, you couldnt exin it away, so you decided to kill him!
Chapter 1722: New Progress in the Case
Chapter 1722: New Progress in the Case
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
I didnt. Besides, what right do you have to say that mypany is a shellpany? Zhang Hao denied.
This point is beyond your resistance; our colleagues from the Commercial Investigation Division have already thoroughly investigated. This isnt something you can dictate.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately calmed down, knowing full well that if the authorities wanted to probe into hispanys affairs, they could do so in minutes.
It was useless to try to exin himself.
I admit that mypany did not have much performance in the past, but that doesnt mean its the same this time. I really wanted to work with Song Deyuan, but I didnt expect something to happen to him.
Why did something happen to him? Dont you know?
What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I killed him?
Zhang Hao looked very excited. When he got into trouble, I was working in thepany. How could I kill him? Can you have somemon sense?!
But I really want to know, if you have nothing to hide, why did you run when you saw our people?
Li Xianghui also knew that he could not continue the topic.
Because she didnt have any evidence, she couldnt do anything to him, so she changed the topic.
Zhang Haos expression was very exaggerated, just like the viin in the movie. There was even a hint of yfulness, and there was no fear in his expression.
As I said earlier, I thought my enemies hade looking for me. Thats why I troed to run.
Now, I want to ask you, do you know a woman named Du Juan?
Du Juan?
Zhang Hao muttered.
I had dinner with Song Deyuan before. He has a mistress called Du Juan. I dont know anything else.
Li Xianghui fiddled with the lighter in his hand and looked at Zhang Hao gloomily.
I advise you not to struggle needlessly. A fake cant be made real, and pretending nothing is wrong wont help you now.
I really dont understand what youre talking about. I am a legitimate businessman. Why are you using me of killing Song Deyuan?
Whether or not you killed Song Deyuan, we will investigate that ourselves. But you will be under our surveince for the time being. I hope you behave yourself!
Im sure thew will clear my name!
Well see.
Li Xianghui did not say anything else. He led his men out of the interrogation room and returned to his office. He lit a cigarette angrily and started smoking.
The evidence we have now cant prove that he killed Song Deyuan and Du Juan. Gu Yiran said.
I checked the time when I was investigating the surveince footage. When Song Deyuan fell off the cliff, Zhang Hao was in his office. Thest call between the two of them was five hours before Song Deyuan died. It would be a little far-fetched to say that he induced Song Deyuan to fall off the cliff.
Its not just that. Zhang Hui also lit a cigarette and sat on the chair, smoking.
Ive checked his travel records. Hes only been to Yanjing once in the past three months. Theres no ovep with Song Deyuans travel records. Theres not enough evidence to use Zhang Hao.
The office fell silent. No one spoke.
Zhang Hao had a motive to kill, but none of the evidence pointed to him.
Could we be going in the wrong direction? Although Zhang Hao has a motive to kill, is it possible that he didnt kill him?
Somethings wrong!
Lin Yis sudden words made everyone in the office look at him.
They wondered what he was going to say.
Four days have passed since Song Deyuans death. ording to Zhang Haos statement, he learned of Song Deyuans death around 5 PM on the day it happened. There was no contact between the two for over ten hours in between, which is quite unusual.
Everyone frowned. Li Xianghui asked,
Can this be used as evidence?
No, but this is very suspicious. Lin Yi said.
The two of them are business partners. Its a little unusual that they havent contacted each other for so long.
Lin Yi, havinge from the corporate world, understood the intricacies involved.
As business partners, especially withrge sums involved, their contact should have been frequent, Lin Yi said.
Just look at their call logs to see that they were in touch almost daily. Yet, uniquely on the day Song Deyuan died, there was no contact between them for over ten hours. This is highly suspicious and might be worth digging into.
Hearing Lin Yis words, Gu Yirans eyes lit up as if she thought of something.
Theres one more thing thats not right. Song Deyuans phone and WeChat didnt have any contact records with Zhang Hao. As a business partner, this is also unusual.
Does he have the habit of clearing his WeChat records? Zhang Hui asked.
My wife clears it every day. She doesnt leave any chat records. Moreover, her WeChat Moments disappear after three days. She makes herself look so mysterious.
No. Gu Yiran said.
His WeChat Moments are all public, and there are many chat records on his phone. Ive looked through them before. The earliest record was three years ago, but I couldnt find any records of him and Zhang Hao. Its very likely that they were deliberately deleted.
Gu Yirans analysis made sense to the others.
Lin Yi changed his posture.
Lets go over this case again.
After Song Deyuans ident, we took his phone away. If someone deleted his chat history, theres only one possibility. Someone deleted hismunication history before he fell off the cliff.
On that day, Du Juan had been working at thepany. His contact with Song Deyuan was limited to that 40-minute video call.
At that time, Song Deyuan should have realized that Zhang Hao was a liar and that their rtionship was in a deadlock. If Du Juan asked Song Deyuan to delete themunication records with Zhang Hao in the video, I believe the former would not agree. There must be someone else involved in this.
In other words, the murderer had an aplice, and this aplice wasnt Du Juan but someone else who helped the murderer lure Song Deyuan to fall off the cliff!
Everyone suddenly realized that they could finally find an exnation for Song Deyuans death.
But how do you exin Du Juans death? Zhang Hao has a perfect alibi. Could it have been done by that aplice too? Gao Mingjun said.
If thats the case, it indicates that the aplice is no ordinary person.
The circumstances surrounding Du Juans death might involve other factors, but Song Deyuans death is pretty much ounted for, Lin Yi said.
If we can find that aplice, I think Du Juans case could also be solved easily.
But here lies the problem, Gu Yiran said, this behind-the-scenes aplice didnt leave any clues. With the information we currently have, itll be difficult to track them down.
Chapter 1723: Logical Reasoning
Chapter 1723: Logical Reasoning
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
But these can provide us with some information. Lin Yi said.
Firstly, this aplice knows both Song Deyuan and Zhang Hao.
Secondly, when Du Juan died, Zhang Hao went to Aomen. In that case, the murder in the secret room must have been set up by that aplice.
Thirdly, weve already checked Du Juans house. There are no signs of forced entry. This means that the other party might have used a key to enter
With that, Lin Yis gaze swept across the four of them one by one and continued.
That murderer might have a very good rtionship with Du Juan!
The four of them fell into deep thought. Soon, Li Xianghui, Zhang Hui, and Gao Mingjun looked at Gu Yiran.
Because the people around Du Juan were brought back by her and Lin Yi for interrogation, the two of them knew this better than anyone else.
Gu Yiran was also thinking hard. Then, she understood and looked at Lin Yi!
Du Juans cousin, Wang Jia!
Thats right! Lin Yi said.
The two of them should have a good rtionship. Otherwise, Du Juan wouldnt have arranged a job for her in Zhonghai. Its very likely that she has the key to Du Juans house!
Furthermore, as you all have seen her looks and figure, with Song Deyuans lecherous personality, he would not let her go. This would have brought her even closer to Song Deyuan!
Thats not true. Gu Yiran said.
Song Deyuan already has a rtionship with Du Juan. Why would he look for Wang Jia?
The four men in the office looked at Gu Yiran strangely, making her feel ufortable.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Dont you know about the sisters duo setup? Lin Yi said. If youre not familiar, you could look it up on Baidu.
Um
Gu Yiran was stunned for a moment. She didnt know it, but after Lin Yi said that, she understood.
Subconsciously, Gu Yiran nced at Li Xianghui and the other two.
Dont tell me the three of you know ot too?
In order to hide their embarrassment, the three of them looked away to avoid Gu Yirans question.
I wont talk about the two of them. Brother Li, how did you know?
Ai, ai, ai, ai, as a public servant of the people, you have to be responsible for what you say. What do you mean by I wont say anything about the two of them? Gao Mingjun said.
No matter how gentlemanly your Brother Li is, hes still a man.
Alright, we are going off-topic. Lets talk about what happened just now, Li Xianghui looked at Lin Yi and said.
During our interrogation of Wang Jia, she provided a very important testimony that at the time, neither we nor probably she herself paid much attention to, Lin Yi said.
She mentioned that she couldnt make it in Yanjing anymore, and then through Du Juan, she moved to Zhonghai. However, the cost of living in Zhonghai is not much different from Yanjing, but her clothes and appearance dont look cheap, although not branded either. They dont seem affordable on a regr sry, which suggests that her money might havee from Zhang Hao and Song Deyuan.
Based on this, regardless of where her money came from, its enough to be considered a significant lead for further investigation!
But she was very calm during the interrogation. If she really did such a thing, she wouldnt be so calm. Gu Yiran said.
She used to be an extra. Shed definitely be better than ordinary people when ites to acting, Lin Yi said.
As for the two of us, we only investigated her as an ordinary person and ignored many details. This is very likely the key to the problem!
Lin Yi changed his posture and continued.
I think the focus of the next investigation should be on the rtionship between Wang Jia, Zhang Hao, and Song Deyuan.
Secondly, we can send people to investigate the neighborhood and see if anyone saw Wang Jia on the day Du Juan died, or if she was in a hurry and acted strangely.
Finally, Wang Jias fingerprints might be left on the gas pipe and doorknob of Du Juans house. This is also the focus of the next step of forensics investigation.
Li Xianghui nodded. Ive thought of these things too, but Wang Jia had an alibi when Du Juan died. She couldnt have done such a thing.
So, I have a bold guess. Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said.
There may be other aplices!
This doesnt make sense, Li Xianghui said.
In a case like this, if you have too many aplices, youll easily expose yourself. With the criminal methods the murderer has shown so far, such a slip-up cant happen.
But its very likely that this aplice helped the murdererplete the murder case unknowingly.
What are you suggesting?
Come, Ill do an experiment with you.
Lin Yi found a roll of tape from the drawer and said to Gu Yiran,
Roll up your sleeves.
What are you doing?
Gu Yiran asked suspiciously, her eyes guarded.
Dont worry. Even if you strip naked, I wont have any evil thoughts about you. Just do as I say.
Gu Yiran rolled her eyes at Lin Yi and rolled up her sleeves.
Lin Yi stuck transparent tape to Gu Yirans arm and then attached the other end of the tape to the window handle, gently pushing the window open.
Due to the pull of the tape, Gu Yirans arm was lifted.
I get it now!
You mean, the murderer tied one end of a fishing line to a certain spot and used the sliding window to pull on the tape that was sealing the gas pipe!
Yes! LinYi said.
Ive thought of several possibilities. First, there might be a third helper who, unknowingly, controlled the fishing line.
Secondly, they could achieve this through drones or other smart devices!
Therefore, our next step is to conduct a strict investigation of Du Juans neighborhood. I think we will find clues once we do that!
Hu
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Li Xianghui said, I think what Lin Yi said makes sense. Does anyone have any doubts?
No!
Then lets follow this line of thought and look for clues. Li Xianghui said,
Little Zhang, Little Gao, the two of you are in charge of the investigation. Little Yi, Little Gu, the three of us are in charge of interrogating Zhang Hao and Wang Jia.
No problem.
As he spoke, Lin Yi walked to Gu Yirans side and prepared to remove the tape for her.
Seeing this, Gu Yiran did not do anything else.
She felt like Lin Yi, when he got serious, was actually quite decent. Although hes a bitx in private, his attitude towards work was impable.
At the very least, he was quite thoughtful.
Hiss
When Gu Yiran was not paying attention, Lin Yi ripped off the tape!
Chapter 1724: Do You Think I Have Never Seen the World
Chapter 1724: Do You Think I Have Never Seen the World
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Damn!
Gu Yiran could not control herself and cursed in pain.
Does it hurt a lot? Lin Yi said in surprise.
People always say that girls with body hair feel pain when tape is ripped off.
Im really sorry, I didnt know you had body hair.
Why would I have body hair? It doesnt hurt at all
Gu Yiran gritted er teeth.
Its fine as long as it doesnt hurt. Its good to have no body hair, so it must not hurt at all.
The remaining three could not help butugh. The grudge between the two of them would not be resolved anytime soon.
As for Zhang Hao and Wang Jia, I think we can leave them hanging for a few days, y a bit of psychological warfare, and then approach them after we investigate the clues, Zhang Hui said.
But you all need to hurry and not overlook any leads.
Understood!
After arranging the follow-up n, Li Xianghui looked at his watch and realized that it was already past two in the morning. Tiredness filled his body and he yawned.
Thats all for today. Well continue tomorrow.
Everyone was also exhausted and did not continue arguing.
Zhang Hui and Gao Mingjun went to the dormitory at the police station. Lin Yi, Li Xianghui, and Gu Yiran chose to go home.
However, Lin Yi did not return to the Jiuzhou Pavilion. Instead, he went to Huaqing Lake, enjoyed a massage, and sleptfortably. He only woke up at ten the next morning.
When he arrived at the police station, he realized that there was no one there. He did not know what they were doing.
After making a phone call, it turned out that Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran had both gone to help out.
Originally, Lin Yi wanted to go and see for himself, but with all four of them there, they probably didnt need extra hands. So, he decided not to go and nned to ck off a bit in the office while also organizing the cases clues. Although there were still many doubts, as long as Zhang Hui and Gao Mingjun could find some clues, many problems could be easily solved.
At around one in the afternoon, after lunch, Zhang Peng arrived at Lin Yis office.
Brother Lin, did something happen?
Whats the matter?
The marketing director of Te Terra-Pakcik called me and said he wanted to see you.
See me? Zhang Peng nodded and said.
I think its because of the case a few days ago. Didnt the female car owner named Yang Bing want to sue them? They might be afraid and want to settle. Then why are you looking for me? It has nothing to do with me.
But your rtionship with that woman named Yang Bing seems quite ambiguous. Tracing back to the source, it all leads to you.
F*ck, what do you mean by were quite ambiguous? We cant even be considered friends.
Brother Lin, stop fooling around. I can feel that shes interested in you. Zhang Peng said maliciously.
I feel that theres something fishy going on between the two of you.
I have a girlfriend.
Sister-inws looks are unquestionable, but as a man, I understand such things. Theres no need to exin so much. No matter how beautiful she is, there will be a day when you can get tired of her.
But who told you that you only have one sister-inw?
What the f*ck?! Zhang Peng was shocked. I thought you were one level higher than us. I didnt expect you to be standing in the stratosphere.
Lin Yi pursed his lips. He didnt know how he would feel if he was told that he had four sisters-inw.
Alright, stop arguing, Lin Yi said.
Tell me about Te. What did he say?
He called us and said that he wanted to meet you at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at two in the afternoon.
Thats quite a high standard. Im surprised he wants to meet at the Ritz- Carlton. Lin Yi rubbed his chin. Is she a female executive?
Male.
Then who the hell is going? Lin Yi said. I thought they were going to throw some pink bombs my way.
Brother Lin, stop joking around, were people of status, we need to be careful with our words, Zhang Peng said.
Besides, anyone who has made it to an executive position is at least over 40, which probably isnt very nice.
Lin Yi looked at Zhang Peng in surprise. You even know this? Did you experience it yourself?
F*ck, you cant mock me like that.
Lin Yiughed. Tell them Ill be there in the afternoon.
Do you need us toe with you?
Its not a big deal. Ill go myself.
Alright, Ill go back and reply to him.
Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was almost time, and he prepared to go over and check things out.
The reason why Lin Yi was willing to go over was because he wanted to defend the people.
This matter had nothing to do with him in the first ce, but he didnt like such a pretentiouspany.
They were earning money from the Huaxians but did not care about their safety.
Apany like this could not be kept around.
After packing up, Lin Yi drove to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
As soon as she entered, she was stopped by a uniformed woman at the door.
Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Yi?
Thats me. Lin Yi nced at the woman. Are you from Te?
Im Director Zhaos secretary. We were waiting for you toe over.
Lets go.
Although it was business, the secretary couldnt help but take a few more nces at Lin Yi. This person was really handsome.
Soon, Lin Yi was brought to the private room on the third floor.
The private room was veryrge, measuring about 50 square meters. There was arge round table filled with dishes.
Although he didnt know how it tasted, he definitely had enough cards.
On the inner side of the dining table sat a middle-aged man in his forties. He was slightly plump and wore a blue suit. He had a smile on his face and looked very amiable.
It was not difficult to guess that this man was Tes marketing director of the Terra-Pakcik region.
In addition, there were four good-looking women sitting on both sides of him.
They were very pleasing to the eye.
Lin Yi pursed his lips. Was he trying to set a trap for him?
Mr. Lin, youre finally here. Ive been waiting for you for a long time.
The middle-aged man stood up from his chair and extended his hand enthusiastically.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhao Fenghua. Im Tes marketing director of the Terra-Pakcik region. Im also the deputy director of global marketing.
Mr. Lin.
After Zhao Fenghua finished speaking, the girls sitting next to him stood up and greeted Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded. You can ask these people to leave. We can talk alone. Theres no need for them to stay here.
Zhao Fenghua was surprised. Lin Yis actions exceeded his expectations. Pretending to ignore them and chasing them away were two different concepts. Mr. Lin, please dont misunderstand, I didnt invite them over for any other reason but to pour drinks and liven up the atmosphere. Please dont overthink it.
Unknowingly, Zhao Fenghua had started using honorifics, sensing that Lin Yi might not be so easy to deal with.
With this kind of looks and figure, you expect them to dine and drink with me? Do you think I havent seen the world?
Chapter 1725: He Can’t Stay in Zhonghai
Chapter 1725: He Cant Stay in Zhonghai
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis words brought the atmosphere in the room to a freezing point.
Lin Yi didnt give Zhao Fenghua anyway out, blocking his pathpletely.
He almost explicitly told him to stop beating around the bush.
This was negligence on my part. Zhao Fenghua smiled awkwardly and chased the inte celebrity models out.
Lin Yi had also eaten with many inte celebrity models.
But those people were all hired by Qin Han and Liang Jinming.
Needless to say, the girls gathered by the two perverts were at a much higher level than the ones Zhao Fenghua had found.
Lin Yi wasnt just trying to intimidate Zhao Fenghua by saying that.
It was just that these inte celebrity models really werent at that level.
The room fell silent, leaving only Lin Yi, Zhao Fenghua, and his secretary.
Mr. Lin, me suddenly inviting you out wont dy your work, right?
It wont.
Lin Yi held his wine ss and said, Were two different people. Just say what you want to say.
Its like this. A few days ago, we had a disagreement with a client at the 4S shop in New Hills. I mainly wanted to talk about this.
Isnt this matter already settled? What else is there to say?
We hope that Ms. Yang Bing can withdraw the appeal, and then we will provide a specificpensation n.
How?
ording to the relevant regtions in Huaxia, we willpensate three times the original price of the car, and we will also provide additionalpensation for mental anguish, totaling 4 million yuan. Besides this, there are other VIP treatments. This is the proposal we can offer.
Lin Yi remembered that the car Yang Bing bought was over 800,000 yuan, so a triplepensation would amount to about 2.5 million yuan.
Offering 4 million yuan in total showed genuine sincerity, and it certainly didnt seem like a case of a big store bullying the customer.
And then, thats it?
It was Zhao Fenghuas turn to be at a loss for words. Was he not satisfied with the offer?
Mr. Lin, I dont quite understand what you mean, said Zhao Fenghua.
Weve offered such aprehensivepensation n. Do you still have any questions?
Heh
Lin Yi sneered. As Tes marketing director, dont you know that theres something wrong with your own car? Whats the use of just paying her? Can you afford to pay if you lose your life?
Mr. Lin, what do you mean?
You dont have to pretend to be confused with me. Lin Yi said.
What we need is not just a solution to a single issue, but a resolution to your own underlying problems. Lets not go too far back; just consider the number of issues your cars have had over the past year or so.
The brakes fail, and you me the car owner for not pressing hard enough, or you say the road is too slippery. The car wont charge, and you me the national grid for unstable voltage. Ive seen shamelessness, but Ive never seen anything as shameless as this.
Lin Yis tone was low and his aurapletely suppressed Zhao Fenghua.
Youre also a Huaxian. Why dont you have a conscience? As a senior executive of Te, Im sure you are very aware. Do you drive Te yourself? Do your rtives and friends drive Te?
Zhao Fenghuas expression wasnt very good. His secretary also felt the pressure emanating from Lin Yi.
This man gave off a feeling that he was not to be trifled with.
Mr. Lin, what Im trying to say is that this is an inevitable path in the development of a brand, but we will not be defeated.
Are you insane? Are you joking with the lives of the Chinese people? Lin Yi shifted his posture, looked at Zhao Fenghua, and said:
If you have anything else to say, save it. Its definitely impossible for Yang Bing to withdraw thewsuit. As for the oue, youll have to think about that yourselves.
With that, Lin Yi stood up to leave, but Zhao Fenghua stopped him from behind. Mr. Lin, why are you doing this? Zhao Fenghua asked.
We have alreadypromised, and we will not shortchange you. We can guarantee to elevate your status in Zhonghai by one level. People shouldnt vie with money.
When you say that, it makes me really want topete with you.
Hehe
Zhao Fenghuaughed coldly, But dont forget, we are Te. We are not without some smallpany; we just dont want to escte this issue. I hope you can understand that.
Then let me see how awesome your Te is.
With that, Lin Yi left the room. Zhao Fenghua could only watch him leave, not daring to say anything else.
Director Zhao, what should we do about this?
Let her sue us. We just need to spend some money and well be fine, said Zhao Fenghua.
But we still have to deal with this Lin Yi.
What do you think?
Not only do I want to ruin his job, but I also want to make him unable to stay in Zhonghai!
After leaving the hotel, Lin Yi stretched and drove to Chaoyang Group to spend some time with Ji Qingyan.
Wiry are you off work so early?
As usual, Ji Qingyan weed Lin Yi in when she saw him.
I have nothing to do today, so I skipped work and came back early.
At least you have some conscience. Ji Qingyan grumbled.
Ever since you started working at the branch office, your life has been irregr. Your skin is not good. Go out for a walk tonight. Ill buy you some facial masks. When youre not back, apply them diligently.
Isnt that a bit much? All of my colleagues go bare-faced.
The problem is, even if they didnt go bare-faced, it wouldnt make much difference.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. You hit the nail on the head.
Thats why you have to take care of yourself.
Whatever you say.
Hehe Ji Qingyan chuckled. Alright, go y by yourself. I still have work to do, so Ill leave you to it.
Youre so busy.
Lin Yi stretchedzily and left Ji Qingyans office. He made his way to Wang Yings office with ease, ready to explore the mysteries of life.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, Wang Ying held her cheek and smiled at him.
I knewyoude.
How do you know that?
Someone saw you just now. I had a premonition that you woulde, so I changed into my ck silk in advance.
Your performance is not bad. If I dont give you a reward, Ill feel embarrassed.
Just let me eat my fill.
It all depends on your appetite.
I have a very good appetite.
With that, Wang Ying walked towards Lin Yi with blurry eyes.
But at this moment, Lin Yis phone rang.
Surprisingly, it was a call from Liu Guangxian.
You can answer your phone, it wont dy my work.
Wang Ying knelt in front of Lin Yi and unbuckled his belt.
Lin Yi didnt say anything. This was normal for the two of them.
Lin Yi adjusted his expression and picked up the phone.
Leader, whats the matter?
Did you offend someone recently?
Chapter 1726: Start Taking Supplements
Chapter 1726: Start Taking Supplements
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Did I offend anyone? What happened?
Lin Yi was also confused, not knowing what was going on.
just now, the higher-ups called me, specifically saying they want to transfer you to the Urban Management Office.
The Urban Management Office? As in, to be a city manager?
Thats pretty much what it means. Its a position with a lower rank and benefits.
Who called you?
Why are you asking about this? Kid, calm down. Dont do anything stupid.
Lin Yi smiled. Dont worry, I know what Im doing. Just tell me.
His name is Zhang Jin.
Alright, I understand. Thank you, Leader.
After thanking him, Lin Yi hung up.
Wang Ying spat out the food in her mouth and looked at Lin Yi.
Did something happen on your side?
Its a small problem, but I can deal with it.
Then dont move. I can do this myself.
With that, Wang Ying brought Lin Yi to the side, lifted her skirt, and started eating.
Lin Yi patted her butt. Keep your voice down, I need to make a call.
Understood.
Lin Yi took out his phone and called Chen Bingqiang.
President Lin.
Chief Chen, I want to ask you about someone, Lin Yi asked, Do you know someone called Zhang Jin?
I do. Hes a department director. Chen Bingqiang said, Do you two know each other?
I dont know him, but he called my direct superior and said he wanted to transfer me to the Urban Management Office below.
Did such a thing really happen?
They were all part of the same system, so Chen Bingqiang naturally knew what this transfer meant.
Alright, you dont have to do anything about this. Ill help you deal with it. Chen Bingqiang said seriously.
These people are getting bolder.
No, no, no. Dont deal with it yet. Lin Yi said.
Let him stay for a few days. There are other matters here. Ill deal with them myself first.
Alright, Ill wait for your notice. Just give me a call when you need me to do something.
Okay, thank you, Chief Chen.
Were all on the same side. Theres no need to stand on ceremony. Just call me
if you need anything.
After discussing the official matter, Lin Yi hung up the phone. His eyes shifted as he pieced together the situation.
It was not easy for someone to arrange his transfer so casually; not many had that level of influence.
Considering the recent meal he had attended, aside from Zhao Fenghua, no one else was likely to orchestrate such a move.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi smiled and called Liu Guangxian.
Leader, transfer my file to the Urban Management Office.
Sigh
On the other end of the phone, Liu Guangxian sighed, as if he had heard that someone had died.
Dont struggle for now. Ill see if theres a chance to transfer you backter. You dont have to worry about me. It doesnt matter where I am. You still have a lot of things to do at home. Dont worry too much about me. If your hair turns white, Ill have to buy you some ointment, Lin Yi said with a smile.
Go away, get lost. Liu Guangxian scolded, Although I dont know whats going on, Ill help you think of a solution.
Thank you, Leader.
After a simple chat, Lin Yi hung up. He was a little touched.
Although there were many f *cking people in society, there were also many good people.
After hanging up on Liu Guangxian, Lin Yi started working on Wang Ying, but Li Xianghui called a few minutester.
Whats going on? Why were you transferred to the Urban Management
Office?
I dont know. I think I offended someone.
What the f*ck!
Li Xianghui cursed. Obviously, he had already learned about this from Liu Guangxian. Otherwise, he would not act like this.
I heard from the leader that he wants you to report tomorrow. Li Xianghui said.
But once youve reported in,e back. You wont need to ask anyone else for leave. I might not have many capabilities, but I can at least ensure that I can protect you.
Alright, Ill see how it goes.
Theres been progress in Song Deyuans case, Li Xianghui said.
In Du Juans home, we indeed found Wang Jias fingerprints, but there were no fingerprints on the gas pipe or the doorknob. Her fingerprints could have been from a previous visit to the house. However, the absence of any fingerprints on the gas pipe is suspicious.
Its normal. The gas pipeline is a blind spot. As long as there are no issues, no one would touch it. Lin Yi said.
But there were no fingerprints left there. Its very likely that the other party wore gloves when they set up the scene.
Thats what we thought. Very professional.
So whats the new lead youre talking about?
Zhang Haos parents have a house in Du Juans neighborhood. Its right below her,s but no one has been there for a long time.
Hmm? His parents house?!
When we found out about this, we also felt that it was a little unbelievable. We felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
Then we might have the answer. Lin Yi said.
Check his parents house and see if Wang Jias fingerprints are there. Ive already gotten someone to investigate again. Well get the results tomorrow. Li Xianghui said.
Well do further investigationster. Just report back to the station after youre done tomorrow. Dont worry about anything else.
Okay.
After talking to Li Xianghui, Lin Yi hung up and started working.
Another hourter, a satisfying battle ended.
Wang Ying returned to her desk, feeling drained. My legs are so sore. One of these days, I need to get a sofa that can be turned into a bed.
You really need to improve your stamina.
Its mainly because Ive been so busytely, I havent had time to go to the gym. Otherwise, it wouldnt be like this, Wang Ying said wistfully.
You still need to practice more. Deep squats, yoga, those are essential.
Got it, got it.
Wang Ying said with a flirtatious look, The main issue is the space is too small; it limits my performance. Otherwise, you might not necessarily be my match.
You always resist, but in the end, youre the one who loses, Lin Yi said with a smile.
The main issue is that you havent taken down Manager Ji. Its indeed a bit tough for me alone, Wang Ying retorted, lifting her head proudly.
If this goes on for a few more years, and your condition declines, you definitely wont be my match.
Lin Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly shuddered.
If in a few years, Ji Qingyan and the other three reached an even more formidable age, and he started to wonder if he could actually handle them.
And with Yan Ci sneaking around outside, it was truly terrifying.
How is it? Are you afraid?
Wang Ying gloated and took out a ck thermos from the drawer. It looked quite exquisite.
What is that?
Thermos.
While speaking, Wang Ying also took out a packet of goji berries, Im giving you these two things, and you need to start taking supplements from now on. I dont want a tonic rtionship between us.
Chapter 1727: Withdraw on Your Own volition
Chapter 1727: Withdraw on Your Own volition
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Damn, I really need to properly set you up sometime, Lin Yi said.
So you wont even think about it for a year.
Wang Ying looked at Lin Yi with a yful smile, If you can really do that, then Ill have no choice but to
To do what?
To wee you with open arms.
Youre getting naughtier by the day.
After the intense battle ended, the two of them chatted for a while.
Lin Yi went out to buy some glutinous rice balls for Ji Qingyan and put the thermos and wolfberries in the car before returning.
After work, the two of them went shopping. Ji Qingyan bought some facial masks for Lin Yi.
To put it nicely, men also had to take care of themselves. After buying the things, the two of them had a hotpot outside before going home.
Manjiang Pavilion was a very famous restaurant in Zhonghai. It was located by the Huangpu River and specialized in Sichuan cuisine.
Although they didnt have a Michelin Star, if you wanted to eat at the restaurant, you had to pull some strings. Otherwise, you would have to make a booking a week in advance because there were only six tables in the entire restaurant. It was pitifully few.
There were two people sitting at the innermost side of the restaurant.
They were all in their forties. They were wearing shirts and trousers and looked refined.
One of them was Zhao Fenghua, whom Lin Yi had met during the day.
The man sitting opposite him was wearing sses and was slightly thinner than Zhao Fenghua. He looked even gloomier and gave off a shrewd vibe.
The mans name was Yang Tiannan. He was the person in charge of Te in the Terra-Pakcik region. He was in charge of all thepanys matters and had great power.
President Yang, Ive already gotten someone to take care of Lin Yi. I dont think he knows whats going on yet. Zhao Fenghua smiled.
First, remove him from his position, check if theres any negative information about him online, then expose him.
Zhao Fenghua nodded. Ill get someone to do itter, but that woman called Yang Bing still insists on suing us. There are many negativements online, and its affecting us badly.
It doesnt matter. Ill hire some bloggers and short-form video creators to suppress public opinion very quickly. Just do your own thing.
Got it, President Yang.
Yang Tiannan wiped his mouth and smiled.
If you want to fight with me, you have to consider your own ability. I gave you face, but you didnt want it. Do you really think youre a savior for you to want to interfere in everything?!
The next morning, Lin Yi reported to the Urban Management Office.
As soon as he entered the department, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Youre Lin Yi?
The speaker, named Cao Jian, was the head of the department. He flicked his eyelid, looking quite flippant.
Thats me, Lin Yi replied casually.
Cao Jians attitude was within his expectations. He was sent here, and in the old saying, he had been exiled.
That person called Zhang Jin had definitely sent word about him in private.
It was only natural for him to receive such treatment.
First, go for training. Youll start working a weekter, Cao Jian said.
If youre not up to par, youll be fired. If you pass the evaluation, theres a three-month probation period, but you wont receive any sry during this time. Consider it carefully.
I was sent from the precinct; do I still need training?
Cao Jian raised his eyebrows and nced at Lin Yi.
Why wouldnt you need training? Do you think youre special?
Not really. I was just asking.
Lin Yi chuckled and didnt argue with him.
He knew the truth in his heart. He would just treat it as an experience.
Go to the small field at the back. A batch of neers is training there. The coach is called Lu Qun. You can tell him the details. Cao Jian waved his hand and said impatiently.
Okay.
Lin Yi turned around and walked out. Cao Jian crossed his legs and nced at him.
Ignorant thing. Youve secretly offended the Lord, yet you still dont know whats going on. How pitiful.
Behind the office building was a public stadium.
After negotiations, it was agreed that they would be able to use the facility for a week.
There were more than twenty people standing on the field. All of them were men. They were wearing camouge pants and military green vests. They stood upright under the sunlight.
In front of them stood a tall man.
He was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. He had bronze skin and was dressed like the others, except that his shirt had been reced with a vest, revealing the muscles on his arms and shoulders and making him look even more burly.
The mans name was Lu Qun, and he was a kickboxing coach. Because he was rted to Cao Jian, he was hired to work here as a part-time coach and earn some extra money.
Although he had entered through the back door, Lu Quns standards were indeed not bad at all.
He had once won the kickboxing championships in Zhonghai. Otherwise, even if he had connections, he wouldnt have been able to get a job here.
Dismissed, rest for 30 minutes!
Lu Qun said to the person in front of him.
Everyone looked at each other. ording to the normal training n, it was not time to rest yet. Why were they resting now?
Moreover, they had a half-hour break, which felt like a special treat.
Instructor, did something good happen? Youre giving us such a long break.
Theres a neering. I need to see what hes like.
That morning, Cao Jian had called Lu Qun, informing him that someone named
Lin Yi would be arriving to report for duty, and instructed him to use some tricks to teach him a lesson before sending him packing.
Therefore, Lu Qun had set aside some time to assess the neer and nned to use some tricks to promptly have him ejected.
Newbie? Weve been training for three days. Why is there a newbie at this time?
I heard that hemitted a crime and was sent here. His level seems to be not bad. I have to test him outter.
Stop joking. Im sure its all for sure. Perhaps he can deal with ordinary people, but he definitely cant deal with someone like you.
Dont say that. Well see what it looks like when theye overter.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.
Someone came out of the building. I think its the person the instructor mentioned.
No way. Look at him. Hes obviously a pretty boy. My arms are almost as thick
as his legs. He doesnt look like hes trained.
Lu Qun nced at Lin Yi and thought to himself that, not to mention other aspects, just in terms of physique, Lin Yi was leagues apart from him.
Just as the trainee had said, Lin Yi looked like a pretty boy, and Lu Qun thought
that this couldnt possibly be the person Cao Jian had described.
At the same time, Lin Yi arrived in front of the team and said to Lu Qun,
Are you Lu Qun?
Its me. Why are you looking for me?
My name is Lin Yi. Im here to report.
After knowing Lin Yis identity, everyone started whispering. They didnt expect him to be the new recruit.
You?
Lu Qun looked at Lin Yi in disdain.
With your physique, you definitely wont be able to withstand our high- intensity training. Listen to my advice and withdraw yourself.
Chapter 1728:I Don’t Need to Train Anymore
Chapter 1728:I Dont Need to Train Anymore
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Quit?
You heard right. This isnt the ce for you.
Originally, Lu Qun wanted to follow Cao Jians arrangements and teach Lin Yi a lesson.
However, after seeing his figure, he gave up on this n.
At his level, if he were topete with Lin Yi in those areas, it would seem like bullying.
It was like an adult bullying a kindergarten child.
If word got out, it would be embarrassing.
I havent even started yet. Why are you saying that I cant do it?
Because of Liu Guangxian and Li Xianghuis support, Lin Yi didnt n to train here. He just came to say hello and then return to the police station to deal with Song Deyuans case.
This was great. He hadnt even said anything, but this guy actually took the initiative to ask him to withdraw. This was very f*cking hical.
Look at your physiquepared to our trainees here. Youre simply not fit for the high-intensity demands of this job in the future. Staying here for training would just be a waste of time.
Brother, you should leave. Our training is very intense. You should know your ce.
The people training on the field were watching coldly from the sidelines. They did not show any enthusiasm.
This feeling waspletely different from when Lin Yi was training.
The main reason was that Lin Yi and the others could stay as long as their results were good enough.
However, the people in front of him were different. There were a total of 26 people, and in the end, only 13 people would get the job. Thepetition was very intense.
The more people who joined, the morepetition for the spots.
Even if his physique was not a threat to him, it was still dangerous.
Because of this, everyone present hoped that Lin Yi would withdraw.
If I quit, will I lose my job?
Is there a need to ask? Lu Qun said.
You havent even passed the training. How can you work here?
Then you dont have to worry about me. This level of training is not a big problem for me, so I wont train. You guys go ahead.
Wait! Lu Qun said.
You said you can pass our training assessment?
Lin Yi nodded. Thats why I wont participate in the rest of the training.
Pfft Haha
The twenty or so students all burst outughing.
Brother, what are you talking about? You said you can pass the training? Are you sure youre not joking? Do you know how tough our training is?
Lin Yi didnt know whether tough or cry. These people were quite cute.
I dont know how tough your training is, but Ill definitely pass the test.
Come on, dont go.
Lu Qun stopped Lin Yi. Didnt you say that you can pass the test? Train with our people first.
Cao Jian wanted to teach Lin Yi a lesson, but Lu Qun ignored him.
Initially, he was lenient and did not bicker with him. Now, the guy has turned around and started spouting off
If he didnt teach him a lesson, he wouldnt understand his ce.
Lin Yi looked at his watch and felt that there was still time, so he wasnt in a hurry to leave.
Alright, tell me how to train.
Lets jog five kilometers first. Lu Qun said.
If you cant even meet this requirement, just leave as soon as possible.
No problem, do you want toe up and give it a try?
Ha ha
A burst ofughter erupted from the crowd once again.
Stop joking around. The instructors best time is 20 minutes and 8 seconds, which is more than a minute faster than the quickest of us here. You want topete with him? Thats just asking for trouble.
I dont mind, as long as you ept the final result, Im okay withpeting against anyone, Lin Yi said. You guys pick someone.
If I were topete against you, it would be a bit like bullying. Ill just randomly choose someone topete with you.
Lu Qun looked around the crowd and said.
Ma Lei,e out for a bit, run a 5K with him.
Yes!
A short-haired man with a moderate figure stepped out from the crowd.
Seeing Ma Lei, everyone couldnt help but snicker.
Ma Lei was the fastest among them.
In the previous test, he had run a time of 21 minutes and 34 seconds. This was very terrifying.
Now, if he were topete with this kid, he could easily take him down.
Have you chosen someone?
Hell do, Lu Qun said.
Two more peoplee out to time it.
Well do it.
The two people standing beside Ma Lei said.
In less than two minutes, everything was ready. Lin Yi and Ma Lei stood on the track. Thetter smiled and said,
Dude, why are you doing this?
What did I do?
Were not lying to you. The training is indeed very harsh. If you dont run it in
24 minutes, youll be eliminated. There were more than a hundred people trained before, but this is all thats left. You really dont have to embarrass yourself.
You dont know until you try.
It doesnt matter to me. I regrly run five kilometers. Ill just y with you.
Its easier than training anyway.
Alright, the two of you dont have to chat anymore. Lets start when youre ready. Lu Qunsaid.
Ready.
At this moment, one of the people in charge of time said, Three, two, one, start!
With that, the two of them set off together.
Lin Yi took the lead and ran in front of Ma Lei.
This kid runs quite fast. He actually rushed in front of Ma Lei.
Its obvious that hes ayman. He ran so fast at the beginning, but he wont be able to keep up the speed after that.
When I was in school, I could only sprint at the start, but after onep, I couldnt keep it up. As soon as I tried to run fast, I would get side stitches. I guess hes probably the same.
Just wait and see. After onep, Ma Lei will easily catch up to him.
Theres going to be a good show.
While everyone was gloating, they suddenly realized that Lin Yi had already finished onep, and Ma Lei had already fallen dozens of meters behind!
This kid is not bad. He actuallysted one round.
Its just onep. Its nothing. Well see the truth within threeps.
As time passed, Lin Yi finished threeps, half ap for Ma Lei.
This time, everyone realized that something was wrong.
After threeps, not only did the gap between the two of them not shorten, but it also grew bigger and bigger!
What was going on?
Ma Lei, what are you doing? Are you deliberately going easy on him?! Lu Qun shouted.
Ma Lei also looked a little anxious. Coach, Im already running very fast, but
that kid is really quite good at running.
Still, run. If you cant even beat him, watch how I deal with you!
Ma Lei had no choice but to continue elerating, but he couldnt catch up to Lin Yi no matter what!
It wasnt until the sixthp that Lin Yipped him!
When the 5-kilometer run waspleted, Lin Yi was twops ahead and then looked nonchntly at the person timing the race.
The result should be okay, right?
The timer was stunned.
17 minutes and 1 second.
Chapter 1729: Knock Out Lin Yi’s Two Front Teeth
Chapter 1729: Knock Out Lin Yis Two Front Teeth
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
17 minutes and 1 second!
Hearing this result, everyone present was stunned.
They knew that Lin Yi ran fast because he was twops ahead of Ma Lei.
However, no one expected him to achieve this time.
This was because even his instructor had not run faster than 20 minutes.
Despite this, Lin Yi had ran it in 17 minutes and 1 second.
With a time like this, he could be a professional athlete!
There shouldnt be a problem with this time, right? Lin Yi asked.
Do you think i should keep training?
Everyones expressions were a little awkward, especially Lu Quns. His face alternated between red and white, feeling like he had been beaten up badly.
However, Cao Jian had already spoken. He had to teach Lin Yi a lesson and not let him stay. Otherwise, he would lose his job.
Do you think this is our only training? Lu Qun looked at Lin Yi and said indifferently.
But you think you just have to run fast?
Of course, I didnt mean it that way. If you have other disciplines, we can continue the training.
The most important discipline isbat training, because duringw enforcement, youll encounter various situations. To pass the assessment, failing this discipline is not an option.
This was Lu Quns trump card. Whether Lin Yi could pass or not was ultimately up to him; he could crush his confidence in a matter of minutes.
Alright then, will you be the one to take part in this event, or will you send someone else?
Of course the students will do it. With my skills, if I were to fight you, youd probably be hospitalized this afternoon.
Everyone present could not help butugh.
This kid was indeed a little arrogant.
Although he ran fast, he couldnt be overconfident.
He actually wanted to spar with the instructor. They really did not know what he was thinking.
Lu Qun nced at the crowd and said to one of the tallest students.
Liu Meng,e and spar with him. Test his skills. Its good to be confident, but if youre overconfident, youll get humbled.
He actually sent Liu Meng out!
Everyone was secretly surprised. It seemed that the instructor really did not want to keep him around.
Among these people, Liu Meng was an exception.
Other than the instructor, he had the best fighting skills because he had also trained in kickboxing and had won at the district level. His level was much higher than others.
Three students had previously gone up to fight him, but they had all been easily defeated. Now that he was going to deal with this kid in front of him, wouldnt thetter be beaten until he vomited blood in minutes?
Liu Meng was about the same height as Lin Yi, but his figure was much more impressive.
His weight was conservatively estimated to be about 200 pounds.
Put side by side, it was obvious who was stronger. There was noparison at all.
Brother, listen to my advice. This is enough. You arent Liu Mengs match. It wont be good if you get injured, someone in the crowd said.
You guys said the same thing just now, but the oue seems to be different.
Thats two different things. Runninges down to talent. Youre not considered fat, and you might have practiced before. Its not surprising that you can run at this level. However, Liu Meng is a true expert. Not only has he participated inpetitions, but he is also a champion. Youd better be mentally prepared.
It doesnt matter. Lin Yi shrugged and looked at Liu Meng.
If youre ready, just start.
Are you sure you want me to make the first move? Liu Meng said disdainfully.
Im not sure what youll look like after I throw a punch, so you better be aware of your limits.
Dont worry, go ahead and make your move. Even if 1 end up in the hospital, it wont be your problem.
Liu Mengs mouth curved into a smile, Since youve said so, I wont hold back then.
With that, Liu Meng waved his fist and rushed towards Lin Yi.
Everyone was watching from the sidelines. This punch would probably make him vomit blood.
Lu Qun crossed his arms in front of his chest with a smile on his lips as he cursed in his heart.
This kid is really talented. Its only been a few days, but his level has improved again. Hes indeed a good prospect.
Then, an unexpected scene happened!
A tragic cry sounded. Everyone saw Liu Mengs body fly out and fall heavily to the ground like trash!
Silence!
The field was silent.
Those who saw this scene widened their eyes and opened their mouths, feeling that they were hallucinating.
Liu Meng, who was the best at fighting, was kicked out by this guy?
Could they be seeing things?
Old Liu, how are you?
Seeing that Liu Meng had been beaten to the ground, the other students hurriedly rushed over and helped him up.
Cough, cough, cough
Liu Meng clutched his chest and coughed a few times. With the help of everyone, he slowly stood up.
Whats wrong with you? Dont you know the situation? How dare you go easy on him?!
Lu Qun said coldly.
Coach, I
Liu Meng was speechless for a long time. He had no idea how to exin this matter.
When he attacked just now, he did not go easy at all. He had used his full effort.
Even so, he did not even realize how he had been attacked.
Especially that kick just now. It was as if he had been hit by a car. Could it be a coincidence?
I dont think this is the time to be calctive, Lin Yi said.
I defeated both the people you sent out in a row. You dont need me to show you anything else, right?
Do you think you can leave openly without training?
What else do you want?
Liu Meng saw that you were too weak, so he didnt use his full strength. Thats why you seized the opportunity to defeat him. This time, 111 y with you and test your true level.
Hiss-
Hearing this, everyone present gasped.
If the instructor personally took action, the oue would be different.
Although Liu Meng was very strong, he was still far inferior to the instructor. It could be said that they were on twopletely different levels.
If the two of them fought, this Lin Yi would definitely lose. There was no doubt about this.
Arent you guys done? You guys areing up one after another. Do you think Im very free?
If you dont have the ability, you can just say it. Youre not wee here.
Lu Qun was full of confidence. No matter what, this guy was no match for him.
When they exchanged blowster, he could take the opportunity to teach him a lesson and then eliminate him under the excuse that his level was not good enough.
This was killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Yi smiled. Since youre so confident, lets begin.
Lu Qun hooked his finger at Lin Yi.
Im the instructor here. Everyone knows my level. If 1 take the initiative to attack, they will say that Im bullying you. If youre ready,e.
Id better not. If you lose, it wont be good if you say that I ambushed you, so you should do it first.
There was a hint of anger on Lu Quns face.
You really think highly of yourself. Then Ill show you what it means to be high and mighty!
With that, Lu Qun charged at Lin Yi with his fist.
His n was very simple. He wouldnt give Lin Yi any chance and knocked him down in one move.
Although he could not gravely injure him, he had to knock out a few of his teeth!
Still, ideals were plentiful, but reality was very harsh.
Just as Lu Qun rushed over and was about to attack Lin Yi, he suddenly felt a pain in his face and his entire body went out of control!
Lin Yi had pped him!

Chapter 1730: Exposed Again
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi didnt use too much strength, but this p still made Lu Qun stagger and lose two teeth.
One could clearly see a palm print Lu Quns face, which quickly swelled up.
H-how is this possible?!
Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
It was still eptable for Lin Yi to defeat Liu Meng. After all, they were of the same age.
However, the instructor was different. He was a true expert!
Moreover, after he took the initiative to attack, he was pped effortlessly by the other party.
This was something that no one present could ept.
In their impression, such a thing couldnt happen.
Your standards as an instructor doesnt seem to be very good. You arent qualified to train me. Bye.
Lin Yi turned around and waved his hand, preparing to leave.
Damn it, stop right there!
Lu Qun cursed angrily. He no longer cared about anything else and sprinted with all his might. When he approached Lin Yi, he jumped into the air andunched a flying kick.
Lin Yi lowered his body without looking back and urately dodged Lu Quns attack.
Then, he exerted strength in his waist and abdomen and forcefully turned his body. Then, he hit Lu Qun with a side kick.
Thetter screamed and his body flew away uncontrobly. Then, he fell heavily to the ground. His condition was even worse than Liu Mengs!
The field was silent. When they saw Lu Quns miserable state, they even forgot to help him.
It took them a few seconds to react.
Instructor!
Everyone ran towards Lu Qun and tried to help him up.
However, their eyes were filled with venomous hatred!
As an instructor, you used sneak attacks. You dont have any morals!
You Cough, cough, cough
Lu Qun wanted to respond, but his body was in extreme pain. When he spoke, even his internal organs would hurt.
Im leaving. Bye.
Lin Yi waved his hand and turned to leave.
This time, no one dared to push him any further.
They had already witnessed Lin Yis level just now.
Even the instructor had been defeated by him. If anyone dared to resist, it would only spell a cruel end for them.
After Lin Yi left, Lu Qun had to rest for a while before he could move freely.
However, the atmosphere in the venue was no longer as rxed as before.
Everyone was a little embarrassed.
Ma Lei and Liu Meng were fine. No matter what, they were only students. Even if they lost, it was not too embarrassing.
However, Lu Qun was different. He was an instructor, but he still couldnt withstand two of Lin Yis moves. Even he didnt know how to face these students, so he could only let them disband.
As for the training, he would think about it in the afternoon.
Moreover, there was something wrong with his teeth. He had to go to the hospital to get it checked.
However, at this moment, Cao Jian walked out of the building with his hands behind his back, as if he was a leader who hade to do some inspections.
On the way here, Cao Jian looked around the crowd and nodded in satisfaction when he didnt see Lin Yi.
Lu Quns ability was not bad. He was quite capable to chase this guy away so quickly.
Why are you they free to move around?
Cao Jian walked up to Lu Qun and asked.
Im letting them rest
Seeing that Lu Quns words were a little incoherent and half of his face was swollen, Cao Jian felt that something was wrong and asked.
What happened to your face?
Lu Quns eyes flickered as he stammered, I wasnt paying attention when I was walking just now and fell.
Dont talk nonsense with me. How could you fall like this? Cao Jian said.
Tell me whats going on.
I was beaten up.
You were beaten up? Cao Jian was shocked. He knew Lu Quns standard. How could he have been beaten up?
This is a closed training ground. Who coulde over and hit you?
Its that person called Lin Yi. His level is very high. Im not his match and was beaten up to this state.
What did you say? Lin Yi hit you?
Although he was unwilling to admit it, it was the truth. Lu Qun could only nod.
Cao Jians expression turned extremely ugly.
Lin Yis level had greatly exceeded his expectations.
Where did he go?
Hes already left. He even said that he wouldnt participate in the training and woulde back during the exam.
Cao Jians eyes narrowed. Hmph, training is childs y!
Although Lin Yis ability was unexpected, he had vited the relevant regtions by not participating in the training.
There was a valid reason to be expelled.
You can deal with the matters here yourself. Ill go deal with his matters first and help you find justice!
Youd better get rid of him. I never want to see him again!
Dont worry, I know what Im doing, Cao Jian said with a cold smile.
After leaving the stadium, Lin Yi ate outside and returned to the branch office. When he arrived at Li Xianghuis office, he realized that there was still no one around.
Brother Li, where are you?
Youre back? Did the people over there make things difficult for you?
The instructors attitude was not very good. He even wanted to chase me out, but after I beat him up, he became obedient.
Li Xianghui could not help butugh. Kid, youre quite straightforward.
Lets hurry up and end this quickly.
Thats true. Li Xianghuiughed.
Wait for us in the office for a while. Were on the way back, and well be there in about half an hour.
Okay.
After hanging up on Li Xianghui, Lin Yi leaned against the sofa and yed games.
Before he could start, he received a call from Qiao Xin.
The case is almost closed. Ill tell you about the case when I have time. Its quite interesting.
Thats not what Im calling you about, Qiao Xin said anxiously.
Do you still remember what happened between you and Sister Li on the
Inte?
Between us?
Lin Yis brain spun rapidly. Is this about me and Li Chuhan being secretly photographed when we returned to Beiqiao Town?
Yes, yes, yes. Thats it, Qiao Xin said.
I dont know whats going on, but that news article has surfaced again. The impact is quite bad.
F*ck!
Lin Yi cursed under his breath; he knew what those messages were about.
Previously, Zhao Mo had nned to short Didis stock and had hired people from Muddy Waters to dig up dirt on him to achieve this end.
Li Chuhan was the biggest victim in this scheme.
He hadnt expected that this issue would be dredged up again today!
Lin Yi knew who had done this!
Alright, I understand. Continue working. If theres anything else, contact me.
Brother Lin, quickly resolve this matter. There are already many people talking about Sister Li.
I know, Lin Yi said with a straight face.
After hanging up on Qiao Xin, Lin Yi called the Inte Surveince Department.
The most effective way to control public opinion on the Inte was to attack the source at the national level!
This was the most realistic and effective approach!
Chapter 1731: Counterattack
Chapter 1731: Counterattack
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The call with the relevant departmentsted for more than ten minutes before Lin Yi hung up.
Lin Yi believed that with their level, they could suppress all the negative news in a short period.
Now, he had to think about how to counterattack.
However, before making further arrangements, Lin Yi called Ji Qingyan to test her attitude.
If she had a cheerful attitude, it meant that there was no problem. She probably didnt see the video between him and Li Chuhan.
Otherwise, boom!
It would be time to book a bed at the crematorium.
The call connected, and Lin Yis heart was pounding.
This was the first time he had been so nervous over a phone call.
Mr. Lin, are you getting off work soon?
Ji Qingyans cheerful voice came through the phone, as melodious as ark.
Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Judging from her attitude, he should be fine.
Lin Yi thought about it and realized that his worries were unnecessary.
She was so busy every day that she probably didnt have time to watch short videos. Moreover, she didnt have the habit of watching those things in the first ce.
He Yuanyuan was also the focus of the investigation, but Lin Yi didnt give her a call.
With her personality, if she learned about this, she would definitely call Ji Qingyan immediately and thetter would not be so cheery.
Hello? Canyon hear me?
Yes, the signal just now was a little bad. Lin Yi returned to his normal state. I havent gotten off work yet, but Im free now. I was just calling you since I had time.
So thats how it is. Ji Qingyan giggled, Your performance was pretty good. Ill make it up to you tonight.
Im looking forward to it.
After a simple chat, Lin Yi found an excuse and hung up.
Since Ji Qingyan was fine, he could focus on the Te case.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Lin Yis phone rang again.
This time, it was an unknown number.
Mr. Lin.
After picking it up, Lin Yi heard a familiar voice. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
A few secondster, he remembered that it was the person called Zhao Fenghua.
You must be Zhao Fenghua.
Mr. Lin didnt forget me. Your memory is amazing.
I dont want to hear any more nonsense. If you have something to say, say it.
If you have something to say, say it.
Nothing much. I just want to talk to Mr. Lin about what happened yesterday, said Zhao Fenghua.
We stille with sincerity, hoping you can put in a good word for us and convince that woman named Yang Bing to withdraw herwsuit against us. And rest assured, all the promises we made to you will be fulfilled, ensuring that your lifestyle in Zhonghai moves up a notch.
You people are really something, setting me up behind my back, and nowing to say all this. Do you think this is amusing?
Zhao Fenghuaughed, not attempting to conceal his intentions, and even added a slight tone of condescension.
Mr. Lin, please dont be angry. We were forced into this position. Everyone needs to make a living. You jeopardize our livelihood, and naturally, we needed to respond. Its only polite to return the gesture, Zhao Fenghua said.
But we doe with sincerity, and we hope Mr. Lin will consider our position carefully. We dont want any unnecessaryplications.
Are you threatening me?
Not at all, just objectively stating the facts, Zhao Fenghua continued.
After all, we are a major international corporation, and our CEO has recently be the worlds richest man. Theres really no need for you to confront us head-on. Wouldnt it be better for everyone to just eat from their own bowls? Dont you think?
Hehe
Lin Yi sneered. Then Ill tell you today. Not only will I destroy your bowls, but Ill also destroy your whole rice pot!
Lin Yi hung up and called He Yuanyuan.
However, no one picked up after calling twice.
Damn it, she must have gone shopping with thepany funds again.
Helpless, Lin Yi called Tian Yan.
President Lin.
Wheres He Yuanyuan?
Hmm do you want to hear the truth or a lie?
Tell me a lie. Let me be mentally prepared first.
President He is working hard in the office.
What about the truth?
She went shopping.
Damn!
Lin Yi cursed. He knew her the best.
President Lin, is there something going on?
Did you see the news about Tes brakes failing?
Yes. Tian Yan said.
This is good for us. The few electric carpanies that thepany has invested in have been doing very well these few days.
Lets take this opportunity to do something to them and stir up the public opinion. The bigger the better. Its best if it reaches a point where it cant be resolved.
You mean, you want us to secretly add fuel to the fire?
What do you mean by secretly? Just do it openly. Dont care about anything else and go against them openly!
I dont think thats a good idea. Te is too big. Its not good for us to fight them to the death. Its very likely that both sides will suffer. Tian Yan said.
Although we have also ventured into the electric vehicle industry, all we need is fairpetition. After several years of development, Te cant possibly be our rival. Im quite confident that we can surpass them.
Using legitimate means to take them down would require a lot of effort, but now that the opportunity has presented itself, when the wall falls, everyone pushes. Lets pull their oxygen tube first and discuss further.
Tian Yan thought about it. No matter how she looked at it, this was a risky move.
Not to mention herself, even President Qi might not dare to do this.
Ill hold an executive meeting now ande up with a n.
When He Yuanyuanes back, tell her about this and let her take charge of it.
You want Director He to be responsible? Tian Yan said.
Director He is the CFO. She doesnt know as much about this as I do.
This isnt normal business practice. Its a catfight. Shes more suited to it than you are.
Alt, I understand.
In short, leave this matter to her.
Okay!
After giving instructions, Lin Yi hung up.
It would not be a problem for He Yuanyuan to handle this kind of conflict. Tes people were just a bunch of trash in front of her.
Then, Lin Yi called Yan Ci.
President Lin, do you have any instructions?
After the call went through, Yan Ci teased.
I have a big job foryou, Lin Yi said.
Recently, Tes brakes have failed.
There was a lot ofmotion a few days ago, but the hype seems to have passed these few days.
Because of their different identities, Tian Yan and Yan Ci paid attention to different things.
What Tian Yan was concerned about was how much benefits she could obtain from this matter.
Yan Ci was concerned with how much attention was left whilst looking for opportunities to capitalize on it.
The saying where you sit determines where you stand fitted perfectly here.
You must have a lot of trolls on your hands, right?
Chapter 1732: The Truth Is Revealed
Chapter 1732: The Truth Is Revealed
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Yan Ci understood what Lin Yi meant. Are you trying to hype this up?
Thats right. Gather all the resources you have and stir up this matter. The bigger themotion, the better. Dont hold back.
Did Tes people piss you off?
They didnt just piss me off. They basically shit on my head.
I understand what to do. Watch the newster. Ill definitely help you settle
this matter clearly.
I wont worry about you. Theres no need to hold back at all C do it boldly.
Understood.
After hanging up, Lin Yi sat on the sofa leisurely.
First, it was the Huanghai Group in Shiaggang, then it was Te. Why were there so many people showing off in front of him recently?
At the same time, footsteps came from outside. Li Xianghui and the others had returned.
How did you feel when you went to the Urban Management Office?
Back in the office, Li Xianghui asked with a smile.
This guy a little pretentious. After he made me teach him a lesson, he became obedient. I wont care about the mess I left behind. Just help me deal with it.
Its a small matter. The higher-ups are backing you up. We can easily help you keep your job.
Im relieved to hear that.
Alright, lets cut the small talk and get down to business.
The few of them sat down. Li Xianghui sorted out the information he had gathered and said to LinYi,
Zhang Haos parents have a house downstairs from Du Juans house. We ve also done experiments. ording to your previous analysis, the murderer can indeed pull the window to remove the tape on the gas pipe.
But the problem is that all the suspects have alibis for the time. This cant be used as evidence against them.
Is it possible that this was done through a smart device?
Its an old house. Theres really nothing there that can be equipped with smart devices. Li Xianghui said.
Theyre all ordinary household appliances. Theres nothing special about
them.
Lin Yis expression paused. This oue was not in line with his guess.
Do you have a picture of the scene? Id like to see it.
Li Xianghui used the projector to show Lin Yi the photos of the scene.
Lin Yi sat on the sofa and watched carefully.
Theyout of the house was the same as Du Juans house, but the interior decoration was different. Moreover, it was very old. Whether it was the furniture or the floor, it all looked dated.
Just as Li Xianghui had said, the things in the house were very old and there was a lot of dust. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
Weve checked carefully. Theres indeed nothing noteworthy in the house, Li Xianghui said.
Even if we found out that his parents own the house, its useless because his parents havent been back for a long time.
LinYi didnt respond because his attention was all on the slides.
He didnt believe that not a single trace was left behind!
There must be some details that they havent discovered yet!
Eh? What is this?
Lin Yis suspicious voice attracted the attention of the others. They subconsciously looked at the slides.
When they saw what Lin Yi was pointing at, everyone present was a little surprised.
Surveince?
Thats an old house. Its been a long time since anyone came back. Why are there surveince cameras in the house?
Lin Yis words puzzled the others.
I still have some impression of this thing, Gao Mingjun said.
I saw this thing when I was checking inside, but I didnt think much of it or take it seriously at the time. Now that I look at it, it does look a little suspicious.
When you saw this surveince camera, did you pay attention to the details on it, like the dust? LinYi asked.
I havent really paid attention to that detail, but it shouldnt be too dirty.
Lin Yi pped the table, The problem is with this camera!
Can this camera be an aplice in killing Du Juan? Gu Yiran asked.
Other cameras cant, but this one almost certainly can.
Everyone still didnt quite understand Lin Yis point.
Imagine for a moment, if this camera could be controlled by a smartphone and achieve 360-degree unrestricted rotation, what would that imply?
As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly understood.
If this camera could indeed rotate without restriction, then by attaching a fishing line to it and using its continuous rotation, it would be possible to tear off the tape sealing the gas pipe, thereby fulfilling the purpose of killing Du Juan!
Lets take alookat the scene!
You and Little Gu go ahead. We still have to check Zhang Hao and Du Juans bank card information. When you guyse back, well analyze this matter together.
That works too.
Because it was not a big deal, there was no need to bring over too many people.
Lin Yi and Gu Yiran packed up and rushed to Zhang Haos parents house.
In less than an hour, the two of them arrived at their destination.
The scene was under control. The men guarding the door were their officers. They shed their IDs and walked in without being stopped. They headed straight for the white camera.
At the same time, Gu Yiran had already put on his gloves, afraid that he would destroy the fingerprints on it.
When she tried to pick up the camera, she realized that she couldnt move it at all.
Even if she exerted a little force, it did not budge at all.
Its normal, the forces act mutually. When it pulls on the fishing line, the line also pulls on it. If its not fixed to the TV cab, it would definitely get pulled away. How did you even pass middle school physics? Thats just poor.
I had thought of that already, no need for you to point it out, Gu Yiran said, twitching his nose defiantly.
Besides, I was the physics ss representative in middle school, and I did better than you!
I bet that by the time you got to high school, your academic performance was pretty terrible.
Gu Yiran was embarrassed because Lin Yi was right.
How do you know?
That goes without saying. If you had studied well in high school, you wouldnt have ended up in the police academy.
Gu Yiran,
Cut the crap and get down to business.
Lin Yi took out the scalpel from his lower back and separated the camera from the table bit by bit.
The two of them leaned over and carefully observed the camera.
You guessed right!
That was because Gu Yiran saw white marks under the camera.
Moreover, the traces were very thin, like fishing lines.
Lin Yi tried to turn the camera with his hand. Although it was a little tight, it could indeed move without limit!
It was exactly the same as he had predicted!
Huh
Lin Yi took a deep breath and suddenly felt relieved.
The murder method has been cracked. We can go back and interrogate the two of them now.
Chapter 1733: The Final Interrogation
Chapter 1733: The Final Interrogation
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
After setting aside the evidence, the two of them left the room and drove towards the police station.
When they returned, they saw a thick stack of documents on Li Xianghuis desk. He was analyzing the contents intently.
Seeing the two of them return, Li Xianghui asked, Did you find anything?
Lin Yi was right. Gu Yiran said.
The camera could indeed rotate freely, and there are traces of fishing lines on it. Using this, you could indeed achieve the goal of tearing the tape off. This should be the ultimate answer to murder in the room upstairs.
Thats great! Li Xianghui said excitedly.
We also found some clues on the flow of their bank cards. We can confirm that Wang Jia and Zhang Hao are rted.
I think that with the evidence we have, we can interrogate the two of them, Lin Yi said.
But I suggest individual interrogations. Maybe we can get them to reveal more information.
Lets go together!
The five of them arrived at the interrogation room. Not long after, Wang Jia was also brought in.
Compared to the first time, her mental state was much worse. Her bare face made her look much worse.
However, because of her good foundation, even if she looked a little haggard, she was still very good-looking.
Why are you still bothering me for so many days? Ive already said what I needed to say. Why wont you let me go?!
Seeing Li Xianghui and Lin Yis team members enter, Wang Jias expression became excited. She was not as stable as the first time she came.
There must be a reason why we did this. Otherwise, we wouldnt have detained you here. As for the reason, I think you know better than us.
What do you mean? You cant keep me here just because Im Du Juans cousin sister!
Its true that you two are close, but there are other reasons why were holding you here.
Li Xianghui kept a straight face and looked straight at Wang Jia.
From now on, you will answer whatever I ask. I hope you will cooperate fully with our work.
Ive already told you everything I know. What else do you want to ask me?
Do you know a man named Zhang Hao?
Zhang Hao? Wang Jia muttered, He sounds familiar. Our boss was working on a new project recently. His partner seems to be called Zhang Hao.
Then, tell me everything you know.
I dont know anything else. Im just a salesperson, not a manager at thepany. Im not qualified to know these things.
I advise you to tell us everything you know. We cant keep you locked up until now if we didnt already have enough evidence.
I really dont know this person. Theres nothing to say.
But in our investigation, you received two remittances from Zhang Hao. One was sixty thousand yuan and the other was ny thousand yuan. How do you exin this?
Because there were two additional businesses between the twopanies. Our boss asked him to transfer the money to my ount to avoid paying taxes. Then I handed the two sums to our boss.
You mean that you negotiated these two additional deals, so they were transferred through your bank card, right?
Yes, thats right.
If thats the case, then you and Zhang Hao shouldnt be strangers, right? Lin Yi asked.
Hes the big boss, and Im a small employee. Even if we do these two businesses, we dont have much interaction. Were not very familiar with each other.
Do you really think I dont know anything? Lin Yi asked.
Even if between you two there was just a regr business rtionship, and even if you wanted to avoid taxes, shouldnt it have been from a corporate to a private ount? Why would the money go from Zhang Haos ount directly to your bank card?
Furthermore, while Song Deyuans business wasnt huge, 150,000 yuan was like petty cash to him. I cant understand why, with millions flowing through thepany annually and taxes being paid regrly, he would feel the need to avoid taxes on just 150,000 yuan?
Well
Wang Jias face revealed a trace of panic. She didnt expect Lin Yi to be so meticulous.
I hope you wont waste any more time. I also hope you wont keep struggling because Zhang Hao has already confessed.
The reason why he went to Aomen was to have an alibi. Then, he instructed you to set up the scene and kill Du Juan.
Nonsense! Wang Jia became agitated. Shes my sisterO, and shes the one who brought me to Zhonghai. Without her, I wouldnt have my current life. How could I do such a thing?
People die for money. Birds die for food. Im sure some people would do anything for money. Isnt that right?
Dont nder me. Im not that kind of person!
Wang Jia became even more agitated after being hit on the sore spot.
When my sister died, I was still in thepany. Other employees can vouch for this. How could I kill her? I dont have a cloning technique!
Of course you dont have a cloning technique, but you have the ability to kill her. Lin Yi said calmly.
You should have a key to her house in your possession. Before Du Juan was released, you went to her house and destroyed the gas line. You punched a small hole in it and then taped it shut. Then, you used a fishing line and connected it to the rotary camera at Zhang Haos parents house. That way, you could tug the line via remote control of the rotary camera, pull the tape off the gas line, and cause Du Juan to die of gas poisoning. Am I right?
Nonsense, I didnt do that at all! Wang Jia denied loudly.
And even if I killed her, how could I have watched the timing so urately!
Because there are four cameras at Du Juans house, and these four cameras were probably nted by Song Deyuan. Youre a salesperson of thepany. It wouldnt be difficult to find these things on hisputer. This is proof that you knew the timing.
Wang Jias face was pale, making her look like a terminally ill patient.
She didnt expect Lin Yi to be able to find all these clues.
Moreover, I believe there was an unspeakable rtionship between you and Song Deyuan. You are suspected of inducing him to use prohibited substances. So, do I need to detail the subsequent matters one by one? I hope you wont struggle pointlessly; it wont benefit you.
Wang Jia remained silent for a long time, not uttering a single word.
Everyone present, except Lin Yi, were experienced detectives, and they knew she was undergoing her final mental struggle. Sess or failure hinged on this moment.
I dont know what Zhang Hao has that could attract you enough to make you risk your life for him. If you confess now, I guarantee the court will be lenient. Consider your future because the money swindled from Song Deyuan ultimately belonged to him and had nothing to do with you. With your looks, getting involved in such affairs is too costly and not worth it.
As time ticked away, minute by minute, it took Wang Jia a good five or six minutes before she finally spoke.
I conspired with Zhang Hao to kill Song Deyuan and Du Juan
Chapter 1734: Beat Him to Death
Chapter 1734: Beat Him to Death
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Wang Jias words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, their anxious hearts were relieved.
Since youve admitted it, tell me the truth. The more you tell me, the lesser your sentence. You should do this for your own sake.
In truth, theres nothing much to say. Youve all guessed it. Wang Jia said as if she had lost her soul.
I used the fishing line and the surveince camera to kill my cousin sister, but Zhang Hao nned it all. It had nothing to do with me.
Was it because your actions were about to be exposed, and Du Juan knew critical information, so you decided to silence her by killing her, is that right? Yes.
What did Du Juan know that led you to take such drastic measures?
Before Song Deyuan fell off the cliff, he had a video call with Du Juan, and I was also present, Wang Jia exined.
In the past three months, the three of us often went out, and each time 1 tried to lure Song Deyuan into falling off the cliff, until this time it finally worked. Why did you start doing this only in thest three months? Was it because your actions were about to be exposed?
Wang Jia nodded as if resigned to her fate.
Du Juan brought me to Zhonghai not because of sisterly affection but because she knew Song Deyuan and wanted to offer me to him to reduce her own burden.
Why would she do that? She was Song Deyuans lover, and given his nature of favoring the new over the old, if he had you, he likely wouldnt continue to invest in her, Lin Yi inquired.
Because at that time, Du Juan had already hooked up with the boss of herpany. The other party was richer than Song Deyuan, but she was also an insatiable person. She wanted to make a fortune from Song Deyuan, so she did this.
Other than that, Song Deyuan had a kink, which was
Thats right. Say it openly. At this point, theres no need to hide it anymore.
He has always wanted us sisters to serve him together, but Du Juan had never agreed, and Song Deyuan didnt want to give up, so he kept Du Juan around for a long time. He still gave her money every month.
Hearing this, Gu Yiran looked unnatural.
It was really as Lin Yi had said.
This old hooligan.
The others did not think too much about it, because in the world of the rich, this was a verymon thing.
So you guys have been doing this to satiate down for the past three months? Lin Yi asked.
Yes, because Zhang Hao and Song Deyuan had promised that they could take care of both of us. In addition, Zhang Hao was very smart andpleted all the procedures. At that time, Song Deyuan was only slightly suspicious, so he did not chase the ounts too much. Thats why it dragged on for so long.
How did you induce Song Deyuan to jump off the cliff at Erlong Mountain Scenic Area? Gu Yiran asked.
After he finished the video call with Du Juan, he said he felt a bit unclear in his head and wanted to go out for a walk, Wang Jia said, her head lowered.
Then, after he left the house, I quietly followed him and went to the bottom of the cliff. 1 lifted my top to reveal my underwear beneath. His emotions were agitated, and he lost his footing and fell from the cliff.
Huff
Hearing Wang Jias words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
After such a long time of investigation, they finally cleared up all the missing points in the case.
It turned out that there was such aplicated rtionship.
It granted everyone a new understanding of Zhang Hao.
He really is no ordinary man; without lifting a finger himself, just by manipting Wang Jia with psychological tactics, he managed to orchestrate two murders.
This kids IQ.was really extraordinary.
At this moment, a line of words appeared in Lin Yis mind.
Reminding him that his mission progress had reached (4/10) meant that he hadpleted another case.
Lin Yi thought about it. The system was probably referring to Song Deyuans case.
This was because Tes civil case had not been resolved yet.
In other words, the case woulde to an end here.
The murderers were Wang Jia and Zhang Hao. Otherwise, the system would not have included this case in the systems progress.
Brother Li, Im going out for a walk. I wont be interrogating Zhang Hao. You guys go ahead.
Sure.
Li Xianghui did not say much. Wang Jia had already confessed. The rest of the process with Zhang Hao was just a matter of procedure.
They would not have any difficulty in wrapping this up, so it didnt matter if Lin Yi didnt participate.
After leaving the interrogation room, Lin Yi stretched his back and prepared to drive to Li Chuhans ce.
He drove to Huashan Hospital and arrived at the Eighth Inpatient Department with ease.
Seeing Lin Yi, many people habitually greeted him. The nurses were still like before, teasing him whenever they had the chance.
Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin were both in the office. The rest of the people were very young and unfamiliar.
Brother Lin, youre here.
I got off work early today, so 1 came here to visit.
Lin Yi came here mainly to check on Li Chuhans condition.
Li Chuhan had an extremely special ce in his heart. He didnt want her to suffer any harm.
What a coincidence. Were fine, Qiao Xin said with a smile.
Then pack your things and go out for a walk. Lin Yi smiled.
I recently discovered a particrly delicious restaurant. Ill bring you guys to try it.
Then we wont stand on ceremony.
Li Chuhan had a smile on her face. Although she didnt say anything, she had already started packing her things. He didnt seem to be affected at all.
Li Chuhans heart was very determined.
Those so-called rumors could not harm her at all.
As long as Lin Yi was safe and sound, she would be fine.
Soon, the two of them packed their things.
Lin Yi first brought the two of them out to watch a movie, then they went for a meal. It was past eight in the evening by the time he sent them back separately.
During this time, Lin Yi even told Qiao Xin about Song Deyuans case, making her exim in satisfaction.
After praising Zhang Hao for a while, she felt that the story could be turned into a detective novel.
Apart from that, Lin Yi also received a call from Li Xianghui, saying that Zhang Hao had already confessed and would be handed over to the judiciary.
This was all within his expectations.
When Lin Yi returned to the Jiuzhou Pavilion, it was already nine in the evening.
As soon as he entered, Ji Qingyan greeted him.
I heard from Yuanyuan that youre going to attack Te?
Lin Yi nodded and hugged her.
An electric car is the new direction of the countrys future. It will definitely be supported vigorously. Apany like Te is a stumbling block to our progress. We have to deal with them properly. Now that the opportunity hase, we have to fight to the death..

Have you contacted otherpanies? The other party seems to have already taken action. It will be little difficult to defeat apany like Te using
Lingyun Group alone.
She was not belittling the Lingyun Group.
Even though it had be one of the toppanies in Zhonghai, it was still inferior to an international giant like Te.
This was a tough battle that required the help of the entire industry.
I didnt think about that. Its mainly because these people are a little too pretentious. They were just short of pping me in the face. I need to ask them for an exnation.
What happened? Tell me.
Ji Qingyan felt that there must be a reason why Lin Yi would suddenly do such a thing. It was just that she didnt know it yet.
Since he had nothing to do, Lin Yi told Ji Qingyan everything that had happened
in the past few days.
After listening to Lin Yis description, Ji Qingyan was furious.
These people are a little too much. They actually refused to admit that the brakes failed and even med the owner of the car. Dont they take the lives of usmoners seriously?!
Thats the problem. LinYi smiled.
Industrial products will inevitably encounter problems. If they actively deal with it and recall all the problematic cars, I wont worry so much. However, they were showing off in front of me so I have to teach them a lesson. Thats right. We have to show them the style and attitude of Huaxias entrepreneurs and let them know that were not easy to bully. She waved her small fists.
Lin Yi reached out and wrapped his arm around Ji Qingyans waist. President Ji knows me best. This much is clear to me.
Ill post it on my Momentster and help you appeal. We have to teach them a lesson.
Alright. LinYi said.
However, you dont have to worry about this. With He Yuanyuan, that stupid little expert, around, we can definitely settle this matter easily. We just have to wait for the results.
Ji Qingyan covered her mouth andughed. Although I dont want to admit it, its very appropriate for Yuanyuan to handle such matters.
Since you said this as well, there must be no problem at all.
It just means I know her pretty well.
Lin Yi patted Ji Qingyans butt. Alright, you dont have to worry about such a small matter. Go take a shower.
Okay.
Ji Qingyan nodded and stretchedzily before heading upstairs to take a shower.
Watching Ji Qingyan go upstairs, Lin Yi took out his phone and called Liang Ruoxu.
That was because she had already sent him a WeChat message earlier. However, since Ji Qingyan was around, he did not reply.
What is it?
Why did you take so long to reply to me? Is it because President Ji is was home and it was not convenient for you to reply to my messages?
In the face of such a thing, a low EQperson would say, Yes.
A person with high EQwould say, I was getting a massage just now and was at a critical moment. I didnt have time to reply to your message.
If I hadnt been busy with work recently, I would have closed down all those ces. Lets see how you can keep enjoying it in the future!
Arent you cutting off these peoples source of ie? Thats a little hical.
I have to control your bad habits. Youre a famous entrepreneur after all, but you always go to that kind of ce. You really dont care about your reputation at all.
A man doesnt care about trifles. Wiry think so much? Just do it. Lin Yi smiled. Why were you looking for me? Is it because you dont want to sleep soundly tonight and instead want to talk to me about life?
Talk my *ss, Liang Ruoxu said.
I saw that yourpanys official website posted a message targeting Te.
Why are you two fighting?
Thispany has been acting a little pretentious recently. Im going to do them a favor.
Theres something else going on here, isnt there? You dont seem like the kind of person whod stick his nose into other peoples business.
Cant I promote Huaxias entrepreneurs?
If you really want to so generous, you wouldnt use such an abrupt method, Liang Ruoxu said.
Ive seen yourpanys announcement. Its obviously not your wording. To put it bluntly, you dont want to go against them. You just want to nder them.
Lin Yi admired Liang Ruoxu for being able to see through such things.
Youre right. I just want to ssh some dirty water on them and show them the consequences of showing off to me.
Alright, go ahead with confidence, Ill see what I can do here, maybe I can lend you a hand.
Lin Yi sensed something was off, Why use such uncertain phrasing?
Knowing Liang Ruoxu as well as he did, Lin Yi knew she would normally jump at the chance to help if he had an issue.
But now, using such an uncertain tone suggested there might be factors he was unaware of.
If proceeding would put her in a difficult position, then it was better to back off. The Te project was brought in by the previous leadership, with the aim of stimting other electric vehiclepanies in Huaxia. Now that domestic electric cars are flourishing, Tes role is diminishing, and with the harm it has caused to consumers, it indeed needs to be addressed. However, I must consider the potential consequences carefully to avoid inadvertently harming our allies.
Lets not go through with it then. Ill have someone withdraw the announcement so as not to affect you.
Liang Ruoxu
1 s heart warmed. She was indescribably happy that Lin Yi would make such a big concession for her.
Its not what you think. After such a huge incident, we still have to deal with it. Besides, it wont implicate me. You can do whatever you want. I just need to know my limits.
Im relieved to hear that. LinYi said.
Are you free tomorrow? I want to invite you out for a movie.
Depends on my mood. There are too many people asking me out so youll have to wait inline.
With that, Liang Ruoxu hung up, not giving Lin Yi any face.
Te Terra-Pakcik Regional Headquarters is located in Zhonghai.
Although it was past eight oclock in the evening, the lights were still on throughout the building. The 996 office animals were still at work, each more tired than thest.
This is a challenge for us, but I believe that in about a month, thepanys performance will improve. During this period of time, we have to buck up, especially the Public Rtions Department. Get rid of all these scandals as soon as possible.
Got it, President Yang, a middle-aged woman said.
Her name was Juan Wu, and she was Tes head of public rtions in the Terra-Pakcik region.
The biggest difficulty for us will be the court. If this case goes to court, it will be very disadvantageous for us.
I have some connections in this area. This will be easy to settle. You just have to take care of your own matters.
Understood.
At this moment, there was a knock on the conference room door and Yang Tiannans secretary walked in.
President Yang, something bad has happened. Lingyun Group has issued an announcement calling out our brake failure!
Chapter 1736: Suicide Operation
Chapter 1736: Suicide Operation
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lingyun Group!
Hearing these words, the people present could not sit still anymore.
Although they were all office workers, the people in the meeting room were all gold-cor figures.
All of them had achieved financial freedom in Zhonghai.
Hence, they had all heard of the Lingyun Group.
That was a famouspany in Zhonghai. It could even be said to be a giant in the semiconductor industry.
But it was exactly thispany that was suddenly making things difficult for Te. No matter how one looked at it, it was scary.
In their executive team, whether it was Qi Xianzhao or He Yuanyuan, or even Tian Yan, who was in charge of investment, any one of them was not someone to be trifled with.
Whats going on? We and Lingyun Group have no conflicts of interest. Why is this happening?! Yang Tiannan asked.
We dont know the reason for it yet, but Lingyun Groups announcement was very intense. It pointed to the brake failure this time and they have caused a hugemotion in the circle. When the market opens tomorrow, our share price might fall.
With that, the secretary ced an iPad in front of Yang Tiannan.
It was the article published by Lingyun Group.
The meeting room was silent. It was undeniable that the share price would fall.
Lingyun Groups status in the industry was unshakeable. After publishing an article like this, it was like throwing a huge rock into ake.
It would definitely cause an uproar. Capitalists voted with their feet. They knew where to put their money.
Its not just Lingyun Group that has issued an announcement. There are already more than 20panies online that have issued condemnation statements at the same time. Theyre all targeting this matter, the person in charge of the public rtions department, Wu Juan, said.
Her fingers quickly typed on theputer as she investigated this matter. Then, she said without looking away,
Thesepanies should have all received investments by the Lingyun Group before. Thats why they came to help so quickly.
Damn it!
Who the f*ck provoked Lingyun Group?!
Yang Tiannan threw the iPad to the ground. The anger in his heart was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
The people in the conference room kept quiet out of fear. They did not know what was going on either.
Lingyun Group and Te were both top-notchpanies. They were doing well, so there was no reason for the former to do such a thing.
This was not logical.
President Yang, now is not the time to pursue this matter, said Zhao Fenghua.
Its impossible to ask Lingyun Group about this at a time like this. We have to think of a way to resolve the matter at hand.
My advice is to bide your time, Wu Juan said.
This is just Lingyun Groups turn. Although it will affect the stock price, it can still rise after the storm passes.
Yang Tiannan remained silent, seemingly agreeing with Wu Juan.
Then, Wu Juan said,
I think we should announce the two new core technologies and give the market some confidence. As for the brake failure this time, dont mention a word of it. We cant panic. We have to stabilize the situation first.
Well do as you say.
That night, Yang Tiannan, Zhao Fenghua, and the other Te executives did not go home. They were all focused on dealing with the PR crisis. They worked until past three in the morning before theyid on the table and rested for a while.
The next morning, Lin Yi greeted Li Xianghui and nned to go back to thepany to deal with Te.
Li Xianghui also took good care of Lin Yi. He said that the case would be closed soon and there was nothing to do when he returned.
He told Lin Yi directly that there was no need toe into office. If there was anything he needed, he would call him.
After sending Ji Qingyan to the office, Lin Yi drove to Lingyun Group.
Then, she went to He Yuanyuans office.
He Yuanyuan was dressed like a typical officedy.
She was wearing a white shirt and a gray skirt. She had a pair of flesh-colored stockings and ck high heels on her legs. She looked a little pleasing to the eye.
What brings you here?
He Yuanyuan said as she ate breakfast.
I had nothing to do, so I came over to take a look.
Wait for me for a moment. Ill update you about this after my breakfast.
Lin Yi,
Who the f*ck is the boss!
At this moment, the office door was pushed open and Tian Yan walked in with a few documents in her hand.
Compared to He Yuanyuan, Tian Yan was even more attractive.
Although the two of them were dressed simrly, Tian Yans figure was like a powered-up version of He Yuanyuan.
The former was normal, while thetter was quite explosive.
She looked round and curvy no matter where you looked.
President Lin is here.
I had nothing to do, so I came over to take a look.
Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? Why are you not looking at me when Director Tian is here?
Your barely padded C cup is nothing to me.
F*ck, you ungrateful b*stard.
Seeing the two of them arguing, Tian Yan smiled happily.
Alright, stop eating. Youre like a pig, Lin Yi said.
How are things going with Te?
I dont think we are Tes biggest rival, He Yuanyuan said as she wiped her mouth.
What do you mean?
Because their public rtions department didnt mention anything about the brakes failing. Instead, they released two new technologies. Im a little puzzled. How did theye up with such a stupid n?
Tian Yan alsoughed. President He and I both think that Tes biggest enemy is their public rtions department.
Are you suggesting that this would be like inviting a wolf into the house?
Exactly, He Yuanyuan said.
Now its just us and some of the enterprises weve invested in firing away online. Well, now theyve released new technology, which is essentially stepping on the tails of domestic new energy vehiclepanies. This time, we dont need to stir them up; those new energy carpanies will take action themselves.
Then, Tian Yan added,
I just called a few friends who are executives at major domestic electric carpanies. Theyve all noticed Tes technology announcement and have started preparing their response strategies. I expect well see news about it online very soon.
Lin Yi couldnt help butugh silently.
This public rtions move was beautifully executed.
We lit the firecracker. I didnt expect Te to set off fireworks themselves. Haha
He Yuanyuan smiled happily. With this level of public rtions, Te wont have to worry about dying.
Lin Yi had the same feeling. Even He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan could tell what was going on. It was interesting that their PR department was still so smug.
ng! ng! ng!
At this moment, there was a knock on He Yuanyuans office door and her secretary walked in.
President Lin, Director He, Director Tian.
He Yuanyuan nodded. Whats wrong?
Huanghai Group in Shianggang just issued an announcement. They seem to be giving Te another tform. They said that Tes technology is advanced and worth researching.
Chapter 1737: Beat Him to Death
Chapter 1737: Beat Him to Death
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Huanghai Group? He Yuanyuan was surprised.
The Huanghai Group that fought with us fornd previously?
Yes, thats them, said the secretary.
But they didnt do anything substantial either. They just made an announcement.
It must be that idiot Li Xinghua, Lin Yi said.
I made him suffer in Zhonghai previously. Now that theres a chance, hed definitely interfere.
He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan were silent for a while. Thetter said, Huanghai Group has absolute influence in Shianggang. They areparable ? to Lingyun Group. If they help, they can provide Te quite a bit of assistance. Lin Yi startedughing, They do have influence, but their mindset cant keep up with the trends anymore. The Da Qing has already fallen, yet they re still using the old ways to challenge entrepreneurs from the ind. Theyve misjudged the situation.
What does President Lin mean?
Although I dont get involved in thepanys affairs, Ive had meals with quite a few industry leaders, Lin Yi exined.
These people might be a bit difficult, always thinking about working 996, but they also have their merits, at least the ruthlessness is still there. The business world doesnt respect the old and love the young. The fire under Te has already been lit, and the people who step into the ring next wont bother with apany like Huanghai Group, nobody will give them face.
So now, theres no need to pay attention to this Huanghai Group?
No need, LinYi said, If they want to act cool, well kill them together.
Understood.
ng! ng! ng!
Someone knocked on He Yuanyuans office door again.
Tian Yans secretary walked in from outside.
President Lin, Director He, Director Tian.
After greeting each other, the female secretary said to Tian Yan,
Director Tian, the President of Te wants to see you.
The three of them looked at each other. Lin Yi smiled. This person is quite fast.
Are we going to see him or not? Tian Yan asked.
Of course, but Ill say it again. Beat him to death. Theres no need to give him
any face.
Were relieved to hear that.
Alright, you guys take care of Te. Ill leave first.
Ill walk you out.
Apanied by Tian Yan, the two of them walked out of the building, and Lin
Yi drove away.
As for Te, Lin Yi felt that with He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan around, it wouldnt be a problem.
On the way to the police station, Lin Yi called Yan Ci.
Busy?
I only went to bed at three in the morning yesterday, but I woke up at six in the morning. Ive been busy with your trivial matters, Yan Ci said coquettishly.
Youve worked hard. When this matter is over, Ill reward you well.
Im not short of money now, and I dont need your reward. Take this time to train your body well. Dont screw up at the critical moment. Comrade Yan Ci, I realized that youve been a little provocative recently.
Yeah, bite me.
Coincidentally, Im free now. I can go to your ce to visit you.
No, no.no
Yan Ci quickly refused. If youe, I wont have to do anything for the rest of the day.
You still have some self-awareness. Lin Yi smiled.
Lets get to work now. Focus your firepower on him. Youll be rewarded if you do well.
Tsk, you really have no respect for human rights.
The two of them flirted for a while before Lin Yi hung up. After thinking for a few seconds, he called Chen Bingqiang.
However, after calling twice, the other party did not pick up.
Lin Yi pursed his lips. He was probably in a meeting and couldnt answer the phone.
Then, he sent him a WeChat message and asked him to deal with Zhang Jin. Since the war had already started, there was no need to keep him alive. After sending the WeChat message, LinYi drove to the branch office. Everyone was drinking tea in Li Xianghuis office.
Now that the case was solved, everyone was in a good mood.
However, the thick smoke made it feel totally unlike an office. If he were to get some poker and mahjong chips, it would be like an old peoples game room.
Didnt I give you a break? Why are you here?
No matter what, Im still a public servant. How can I ck off? I still have to work.
in terms of glibness, no one can beat you, Li Xianghui said with a smile. The more he looked at Lin Yi, the more he liked him. His future was bright.
Brother Li, hes been transferred to the Urban Management. When can he be transferred back? Zhang Hui asked with a cigarette in his mouth.
I cant say for sure. Li Xianghui said.
It depends on how the leader deals with it. But now, it doesnt affect him much. His sry and benefits are the same, and it doesnt affect his working age. Its only a matter of time before hes transferred back.
I have a feeling that someone from above is trying to mess with him.
Isnt that obvious? Li Xianghui said.
Its Director Zhang. I dont know whats wrong with him.
Dont worry about me, its no big deal. Lin Yi said with a smile. He wasnt in a hurry.
As long as it didnt affect his mission, he didnt care where he worked. At that moment, the sound of brakes came from outside the window.
Gao Mingjun looked at it curiously and was shocked. Damn, speak of the devil. Why is that old thing here? Seeing Gao Mingjuns shock, Zhang Hui asked curiously, Whos here?
Zhang Jin. Gao Mingjun said, Our boss is also beside him.
Are you serious? What is he doing here?
Im wondering about that too. Gao Mingjun stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and said.
Lets clean up first. No matter what, hes still a big leader. It wont look good if he sees the office like this.
The few of them got busy and tidied up briefly. At the very least, they made it look like an office again.
Lin Yi pursed his lips. Chen Bingqiangs meeting wasnt over yet?
He didnt deal with it after such a long time?
Soon, footsteps came from outside. Liu Guangxian and Zhang Jin walked in with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Jin was tall and thin. He had prominent cheekbones and a 30/70bover. He had the demeanor of an old cadre.
Song Deyuans case has been solved. Director Zhang is here to see you.
Li Xianghui smiled and nodded. Thank you, leader, but the biggest contributor to this case is Lin Yi. If he hadnt discovered the hidden clues, we wouldnt have been able to solve the case so quickly.
Li Xianghui gave all the credit to Lin Yi, hoping to leave a good impression on him in front of the leader.
But Zhang Jin didnt seem to appreciate it. Instead, he looked at Lin Yi with a scrutinizing gaze.
Youre LinYi?
Thats me.
Didnt I drop you off at Urban Management? Wiry are you still here?! Im here to see my old colleague. This should be fine, right? Zhang Jin ced his hands behind his back and snorted coldly.
Its working hours now. Youve vited the relevant disciplinary rules by leaving your post. Stop working here. You dont have any organizational discipline at all. Pack your things and go home.
Chapter 1738: The People of Lingyun Group Are Just So-So
Chapter 1738: The People of Lingyun Group Are Just So-So
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Liu Guangxians expression changed. He didnt expect Zhang Jin to attack Lin Yi the moment he entered.
Most importantly, there were so many people present. He should at least give him some face and deal with itter.
He didnt even have a chance to plead for leniency on such an asion.
Li Xianghui and the others expressions were also ugly. They didnt expect Zhang Jin to fight with Lin Yi.
At this point, even Gu Yiran, who had always been at odds with Lin Yi, was filled with resentment.
He was clearly targeting Lin Yi.
This cant be, right? You want to fire me over such a small matter? Arent you making a mountain out of a molehill? Lin Yi said calmly with a smile.
You think disciplinary problems are trivial?
I dont think its a big problem. Lin Yi shrugged.
You, on the other hand, have never interacted with me before or now. You called me and wanted to transfer me away. Now, you want to fire me. 1 think theres something fishy going on.
What do you mean, you think Im picking on you?
You know what 1 mean. Lin Yi said calmly.
In terms of viting discipline, youve vited it much more seriously than me. As the saying goes, the arms of the heavens are long, and they dont miss anything. Its really hard to say who will be forced to leave first.
Hiss
The others present all sucked in a cold breath.
No one expected Lin Yi to speak to Zhang Jin in such a tone.
They all knew what was going on. Lin Yi must have offended someone in secret, or else Zhang Jin wouldnt be like this.
However, it took a lot of courage and courage to say such things so brazenly.
However, on second thought, this was in line with Lin Yis style. He was exactly this kind of person.
Zhang Jin didnt like Lin Yi to begin with, but after hearing his words, his expression became even uglier.
Are you saying that Im using my position for personal gain?!
Look at you. Youre someone with status after all. Why cant you keep your cool? Since you understand what I mean, why say it out loud
Liu Guangxian! Zhang Jin said in a low voice.
Liu Guangxian was shocked and panicked.
Director Zhang, what is it?
The situation is already clear. Do I still need to say anything?! Zhang Jin snorted coldly.
A man like him is a ck sheep. He doesnt deserve to work with us. 1 hope you can get rid of him as soon as possible. Dont make me waste my breath.
I, I know Liu Guangxian said as he wiped his cold sweat.
Lin Yi was really too much. Why did he talk back to him in public?
Now, there was no room for reconciliation!
Lin Yi wasnt in a hurry. He sat on the chair with a smile and waited for Chen Bingqiangs men toe and deal with this matter.
Director Zhang, Ill handle this matter. Lets go to the other departments to visit them first.
Okay, but we have to handle this as soon as possible.
I got it.
Questions about how he would deal with this matter and whether there was any room for negotiation would have to wait untilter.
In short, he should have Zhang Jin leave this ce as soon as possible. Otherwise, there would be even more trouble.
Just then, the sound of brakes came from outside the door.
Immediately after, there were hurried footsteps. Six people in uniforms rushed in from outside and restrained Zhang Jin without any exnation.
Everyone present was stunned.
Everything was going normally, so were they suddenly arresting him?
What are you doing! Zhang Jin was also stunned. Do you know who I am?!
If we dont know who you are, we wouldnt be doing this. We suspect you of serious vitions of the rules. Please follow us back for investigation!
Hearing this, Zhang Jin panicked and his expression turned ugly.
Hes always been very careful about what he did. How did these people find out?!
Director Zhang, Im really sorry. You were taken away before me. Im a little embarrassed.
Zhang Jins face was pale. This was something he had never dreamed of.
All of a sudden, he was being investigated!
The officials did not give Zhang Jin a chance to speak and took him away.
The rest of the people were confused. They felt like they were hallucinating and they had no time to react.
Is is this considered karma? Zhang Hui said.
Of course. Ive always disliked him. 1 didnt expect the investigation to be so timely. Otherwise, Lin Yi would really have been chased away.
Alright, alright. Lets not discuss this anymore. Li Xianghui said, Lets continue working.
After Zhang Jins matter was closed, everyone returned to their normal working state.
After the case was closed, everyone was very free. Their main job was to chat and drink tea.
Lin Yi continued to lead the Te matter in the dark.
To him, the game had just begun and was far from over.
At Tes Terra-Pakcik headquarters, a Bentley stopped in front of the building.
Yang Tiannan felt refreshed as he got out of the car, as if he had encountered a joyous asion.
Zhao Fenghua immediately followed him into the office.
President Yang, hows Lingyun Group?
I just saw their two vice presidents, He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan. The negotiation went smoothly. They said that this was a misunderstanding and that it would be rified soon.
Were they that easy to talk to?
Zhao Fenghua was a little surprised. He did not expect the matter to be resolved so smoothly.
It was that smooth. Yang Tiannan crossed his legs and said.
Rumor has it that the executives of Lingyun Group are not easy to deal with. After seeing them today, theyre just so-so. I easily dealt with them. Women are women after all. Business games are not something they can y.
President Yang is still the best. If it were us, we definitely wouldnt be able to settle this matter.
Yang Tiannan smiled and nodded. The two of them are indeed capable, but theyre still a little inferior to me, so theres no need to worry about this. The stock price that has fallen will rise back quickly. Tell the various departments to continue working and not take this matter to heart.
Got it. Ill go over and inform them now.
Just as Zhao Fenghua was about to leave, the office door was pushed open.
President Yang, bad news!
Wu Juan rushed in and said breathlessly,
Not only has the Lingyun Group attacked us, but the six major carpanies in the country have also condemned our actions. Other than that, there are many media outlets and ghostwriters reporting on this matter on the Inte. The headlines of the major web portals are all about us. This matter seems to have gone a little out of control.
How could this be?! Yang Tiannan mmed the table and stood up. He said excitedly,
Lingyun Group has already promised me that they would revoke the announcement. Why are they acting like this?!
They did not rescind the announcement. Instead, they posted an even more intense public rtions article that pointed out our quality problems.. They have no intention of giving up!
Chapter 1739: White-hot
Chapter 1739: White-hot
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
How could this be?!
Yang Tiannan was dumbfounded. In his opinion, he had already reached an agreement with Lingyun Group. They shouldnt have gone back on their word!
I dont know either.
Wu Juan didnt know how to answer this question.
You were the one who went to talk to them, and now this happened. The problem was with you, okay?
In a hurry, Yang Tiannan turned on hisputer and checked Lingyun Groups
official Weibo and official website.
They realized that they had released their second public rtions article almost
at the same time.
The time they released these updates was exactly the time that both sides sat
down to meet!
In other words, they had no intention of giving up!
They didnt take him seriously at all!
Damnit!
Yang Tiannan clenched his fists and cursed loudly.
This was the first time he had suffered such humiliation.
Moreover, he was humiliated by two women!
It was obvious that He Yuanyuan was the mastermind behind this.
Tian Yan wouldnt do such a shameless thing.
President Yang, were in a very disadvantageous situation. If we don t take action now, our influence will further wane, and our situation will be even more dangerous!
I know.
Yang Tiannan frowned and looked at Zhao Fenghua.
Dont you know a person called Zhang Jin? Lets see if he knows anyone from the quality inspection and industry. If theres an official to stand up for us, we can immediately stabilize the situation.
Got it. Ill call and ask now!
Zhao Fenghua, recognizing the gravity of the situation, knew that their own efforts alone wouldnt be enough to quell the online uproar.
We need to get someone from the government on our side to stabilize the
situation quickly.
Understood, Ill call him right now!
Zhao Fenghua quickly took out his phone and dialed Zhang Jins number. Unexpectedly, when the call connected, a strange mans voice came through.
Who are you?
Im a friend of Director Zhang, I need to speak with him about something,
Zhao Fenghua replied politely.
Hes currently under investigation, please wait for the results before
discussing any matters.
Under under investigation!
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Fenghua was stunned for a long time. He could
not believe it.
Why would Zhang Jin be ced under investigation for no reason?
What happened? Why do you look so pale? Yang Tiannan asked.
Zhang Jin is under investigation. He cant help us anymore, said Zhao
Fenghua with a frown.
Even him!
Yang Tiannans expression was extremely ugly. This oue was beyond his expectations.
I was hoping he could take care of Lin Yi for us, but now look, Lin Yi is still here and hes the one whos gone down first. This makes thingsplicated with the court.
Anyway, that avenue is no longer viable.
Just then, the sound of knocking erupted.
Yang Tiannans secretary rushed in from outside.
President Yang, its bad news. Many official Weibo ounts have publicly named us, using our actions of infringing on the rights of Huaxian consumers.
The state media has gotten involved!
Yes, Ive heard that various departments, including the Industry and Commerce Administration and the Quality Supervision Department, have issued statements. They will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. The current situation is very unfavorable for us!
How, how could this be
Yang Tiannan sat on the chair with a pale face.
Initially, he thought that as long as the officials did not participate, there would be no problem for his side!
But now, the relevant department had spoken. To Te, this would be the straw
the would break the camels back!
Facing them, he had no room to resist!
Hurry up and apologize! Take the initiative to admit your mistake this time! But be more subtle. You cant admit everything. Do you understand what I mean?
Got it, President Yang! Wu Juan replied and walked out of the office.
Everything was fine. Why did this happen?!
Yang Tiannan held his forehead. This was between us and the consumers. Why is it attracting so much attention?
Im also puzzled. That woman has no power or influence. She couldnt possibly pose a threat to us, Zhao Fenghua said.
The fuse of this matter was the entrance of Lingyun Group. If they hadnt participated, things wouldnt have ended up like this.
Thats the problem. We didnt provoke Lingyun Group or snatch their business. Why are they targeting us?!
Yang Tiannans words made Zhao Fenghua fall into deep thought.
No matter how he looked at it, there was something fishy about this matter.
In this case, the most suspicious person is Zhang Jin, Zhao Fenghua said.
A few days ago, when we were eating together, he told me that in half a year, he would be promoted and have a bright future. Now, such a thing had happened
Zhao Fenghua stopped mid-sentence. His eyes darted around as though he had thought of something.
Whats wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?
I just remembered something, Zhao Fenghua said with an ugly expression.
What is it?
I called Lin Yi before and told him about my powerful connections, but not only was he not afraid, he even threatened me.
Yang Tiannan raised his head and looked at Zhao Fenghua. What did he threaten you with?
I said, if you dont cooperate with me, Ill destroy your rice bowl. However, he said the opposite. Not only will he destroy our rice bowl, but hed also destroy our whole rice pot
Well
Yang Tiannan was stunned.
Although he was still not sure if this matter had anything to do with him, judging from the current situation, his pot had indeed been smashed.
Give him a call and find out his thoughts.
Okay.
Zhao Fenghua nervously took out his phone. He felt like he was about to be sentenced to death.
Mr. Lin?
Why are you looking for me?
I want to ask you, have you thought about what I told you before? Working with us will be beneficial to you. Otherwise, your job
Why are you still acting cool with me at a time like this?
Zhao Fenghua was interrupted before he could finish his sentence. Zhao Fenghua was not embarrassed and pretended to be calm.
I dont knowwhatyou mean.
Are you pretending to be confused? Lin Yi said.
Zhang Jin is being investigated, and the relevant departments have alreadye forward, yet youre still f*cking acting cool. I have to say, you people are really funny. Youre stupid, but do you really think that others are as stupid as you?
Zhao Fenghua was rendered speechless by Lin Yis words.
Because their current state was indeed very miserable.
Ive said it before. Not only will I smash your bowls, but Ill also smash your rice pot. The game has just begun. Dont be so anxious!
Did you n all of this?!
Dont, dont, dont tter me. Im not that capable. Lin Yi smiled.
But I know what the future holds. Lets wait and see.

Lin Yi didnt waste any more time with Zhao Fenghua and hung up.
Yang Tiannans office was extremely quiet.
Although Lin Yi didnt say it explicitly, they all had a bad feeling.
He seemed to be the person behind this!
President Yang, what should we do now?
Ignore him for now. Yang Tiannan said.
I think this is just a coincidence. If he could really leverage so many resources, he wouldnt have be a police officer. I still have to think of a way to resolve this.
Ring ring ring@
Just as Yang Tiannan was at his wits end, his phone rang.
The distraught Yang Tiannan was not in the mood to pick up the phone at all. However, when he saw the caller ID, his expression immediately turned serious.
The person on it was called Harper, the vice president of the head office!
At the same time, Zhao Fenghua saw the callers name and his heart raced.
Dont say anything yet. Yang Tiannan picked up the phone.
Mr. Harper.
I want to know what happened in Huaxia. How are you managing the business there? It still hasnt been settled yet!
Mr. Haber, Im really sorry. Were actively dealing with this matter. I believe there will be a resolution soon.
It was just a small brake failure that caused such a huge mess. Not only did you not handle it properly, but you even got the relevant departments in Huaxia to call you out. How can I trust you?!
Im very sorry about the problem in the Huaxia market, but please give me some time. Ill definitely settle it.
Im running out of patience. Ill rush over and help you deal with this matter.
Well, we will wee Mr. Harper.
Harper said that he was there to help Yang Tiannan with the matter.
However, in reality, this was not a good thing. It might even threaten his current status!
Therefore, Yang Tiannan did not want him toe.
President Yang, Mr. Harper ising. This is very disadvantageous for us.
Yang Tiannan lit a cigarette and said in a low voice,
I know that. If he sets off from Meiguo now, it will take at least 12 hours before he can reach Zhonghai. This is ourst chance. We have to take advantage of this time to resolve all the problems!
But the problem is that the officials have already mped down. Were in a very passive situation. Theres no way out.
Theres another way. Yang Tiannan said.
When Te came to Huaxia to set up a factory, it was the previous leadership in Zhonghai who pulled this project in. Although theyre now retired, they still have significant connections. Discussing this issue with them might still give us some room to maneuver.
But the problem is that now, not only do the relevant government departments want to investigate this matter, but the major enterprises in Huaxia are also making a big fuss. They are the real driving force behind this issue. If their outcry wasnt so intense, the situation wouldnt have escted to this level.
So, the crux of the problem lies with Lingyun Group, Yang Tiannan continued.
They are the leaders in Huaxias semiconductor industry and hold a high reputation within the sector. If we can get them on our side, we can easily resolve this issue.
But those two women are despicable. They dont take us seriously at all!
Yang Tiannan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice,
Although I cant deal with them, I can ask the previous leaders for help. They say that an arm cant win against a thigh. I want to see how capable they are!
Since President Yang has said this, I feel more confident, said Zhao Fenghua with a smile.
Yang Tiannan thought for a moment, then took his phone and made a call.
Elder Chen, its Little Yang. Are you busy?
No, Im reading the newspaper, the person on the other end of the line replied with a smile.
Obviously, the other party was very happy to receive Yang Tiannans call.
Elder Chen, are you free now? I have something to discuss with you, Yang Tiannan said with a smile.
The old man on the other end of the phone paused for a second and said,
Wait a moment. Ill talk in my room.
Alright, sorry to trouble you, Elder Chen.
Soon, the sound of the door opening came from the other side, followed by low voices.
Tell me, why are you looking for me?
Elder Chen, something happened to Te recently. Im sure you know about it.
I know a little. Theres an uproar online. This will affect your brands reputation quite a bit. If you dont deal with it quickly, it will be very difficult for you to survive in the Huaxia market.
Thats right. Recently, Ive been in a terrible fix because of this. Yang Tiannan said.
I didnt want to trouble you at first, but I really have no choice. You brought us to Zhonghai, so we can be considered our foundational pir. If you dont help us, we really wont be able to survive this crisis.
Harpers arrival put Yang Tiannan under a lot of pressure.
Otherwise, he wouldnt have sought out the other party.
I know that, but things have developed to this point. Its indeed difficult. I can only do my best.
Well be satisfied if we can do our best. Yang Tiannan smiled and said.
But dont worry, Elder Chen. We definitely wont let you work for nothing. Please do whatever you need to do. There wont be any problems on our side. What are you talking about? I was the one who hired Te to set up the factory. After such a thing happened, I definitely have to help. The old man said.
Tell me the exact situation so that I can identify the main point and help you deal with this matter.
Actually, the biggest problem lies with Lingyun Group. They were the first toe forward, and manypanies also stood on their side, Yang Tiannan said angrily.
If it werent for Lingyun Group, the situation today wouldnt have happened. The relevant departments wouldnt have mped down like this one after another. All the crux of the problem lies with them.
Lingyun Group, right? The other party muttered. Whos in charge there? Ill talk to them.
Their vice president, He Yuanyuan, and Tian Yan.
Alright, leave it to me. Ill reply to you when I have news.
Elder Chen, its like this. The vice president named Tian Yan is fine, but that He Yuanyuan is not easy to deal with. I went to look for her personally and she yed me, YangTiannan reminded him.
Hmph, shes just a merchant. I want to see if she has the guts to act rashly in front of me!
Alright, alright, alright. Thank you, Elder Chen. When this matter is settled, Ill definitely visit.
Theres no hurry. Lets sit down and talk in detail after Im done with this matter.
Then Ill wait for Elder Chens good news.
Chapter 1741: Meeting
Chapter 1741: Meeting
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
In the office, Lin Yi sat on the sofa and read the news about Te.
Especially when they saw the news that the relevant departments were mping down, he immediately felt like a wall had started to fall now that everyone was pushing it.
Other than that, Lin Yi also saw some interesting news.
Yanjings Zhonglian Group, Baolong Group, and Yuhangs Funeng Group all voiced their support for Lingyun Group.
Lin Yi thought for a while before remembering that the Zhonglian Group belonged to Qiu Yuluos family, Longbao Group belonged to Ning Ches family, and Yuhangs Funeng Group belonged to Xiao Bings family.
When they saw that something had happened to Lingyun Group, they all stood up to help.
Other than that, Lin Yi also saw many unfamiliarpanies making a joint
statement.
However, he did not know what the other partys motive was. It might be rted to him, but he did not know yet.
Lin Yi thought about it and called Xiao Bing.
Brother Lin. After the call went through, Xiao Bing said with a smile, Dont y too hard. Just help stand by me on the stage appropriately. Dont take it too seriously.
Lin Yi was protecting the more fragilepanies.
Even though the Xiao family was the number one family in Yuhang, there was still a considerable gap in sizepared to Lingyun Group.
For these reasons, Lin Yi didnt want Xiao Bing to fight Te to the death.
Once the issues are resolvedter on, Lingyun Group, with its massive influence and size, wont likely be messed with.
However, it was different for the Xiao family. Their opponents might secretly retaliate against them.
So, he was just hoping they could offer a simple helping hand.
The waters are deep here, and I dont want them to get too involved.
Dont worry, Lin, we know what were doing, Xiao Bing said cheerfully.
We?
Yes, Xiao Bing exined.
Arent there eight people in Team 1? Weve all stood up to help.
Hearing this, Lin Yi finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that thosepanies that he couldnt name all belonged to the
families of his team members.
Brother Lin, we were nning something recently.
Does this have something to do with me?
It has a lot to do with you. If you dont participate, this matter might have
fallen short.
Tell me, what is it? Lin Yi smiled.
Recently weve been idle with no assignments from the Central Guards Brigade, so our teams went out for a tour, and now that weve had our fun, we thought about visiting Zhonghai. Can you host us?
No problem, when are youing? Probably in the next day or two. Weve been discussing it in the group chat, but since you havent said anything, we didnt dare to just show up.
Just the women cane, the men should stay back.
Haha, got it. Ill let them know right away. Well probably be there the day after tomorrow. Were nning to eat big, so be prepared.
Its a small matter. Come on.
After chatting with Xiao Bing for a while, Lin Yi hung up and continued paying attention to the news online.
It was particrly interesting when those official state media outlets and some rted departments said that they wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly. Lin Yi felt extremely excited.
From the looks of it, Liang Ruoxu probably did not give the previous leader any face at all. Otherwise, she would not have acted so thoroughly.
It seemed that he had to treat her to dinner tonight.
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yi had wanted to call Liang Ruoxu and invite her out for dinner and a
movie.
Unexpectedly, she called first.
Because there was someone in the house, Lin Yi took his phone to the courtyard and picked up Liang Ruoxus call.
Good job, Secretary Liang. Lin Yi smiled.
Please give me a chance to treat you to a meal and a movie to thank you.
Your performance is not bad, Liang Ruoxu said smugly.
Since youre so sincere, Ill reject all the other people who asked me out. Ill give you a chance.
Thank you, Secretary Liang, Lin Yi said.
But I think youve done a thorough job on this matter. Do you really not have to give face to the old leader?
Theres no need. If I could, I might have even been a bit fiercer.
What happened? Why are you so angry?
Actually, I didnt know much about this at first, so I didnt give you a definite answer, Liang Ruoxu said.
Butst night, I called home and asked about this. Only then did I find out that the previous leader was from the Wang family. Theres no need to hold back now.
F*ck, so theyre not on our side.
Thats why I took action. At a time like this, theres no need to consider his reputation. I have to do it thoroughly.
In that case, I know what to do, Lin Yi said.
When are you getting off work? Ill pick you up now.
Juste now. Im not busy today.
Lin Yi looked at his watch and realized that it was only two in the afternoon. He could spend more time with her.
In reality, Liang Ruoxu was busy every day. She just pushed away her work to see Lin Yi.
Wait, Ill go over now.
-Come ande, but let me remind you that you cant drive a good car. If you cant do that, take a taxi.
Theres so much going on.
Who are you talking about?
About you.
Lin Yi didnt give Liang Ruoxu a chance to speak. He hung up the phone and drove to pick her up.
Ring ring ring!
On the way, Lin Yis phone rang. It was a call from He Yuanyuan.
Are you busy? Something happened here.
Lin Yi felt that something big must have happened.
Otherwise, with He Yuanyuans fearless personality and herbat ability, ordinary things would not be difficult for her to handle.
Moreover, with her sense of pride, she would not call her unless it was something important.
What is it? Speak slowly.
I think Te found a former leader toe over and talk to me about this matter. He just called me. I dont think I can handle this at my level. Leader? Lin Yi muttered, Where did this leadere from?
Lin Yi felt that this matter was quite interesting. After the incident erupted, all sorts of people were emerging.
However, he had Liang Ruoxu as his trump card. Who would dare to show off to him?
He Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said,
Im not too sure either. I think his name is Chen Qingyuan. Its said that Te was a project he brought over, so he is stepping forward at this time.
Lin Yi smirked, feeling that Tes people were quite timely in finding such a key figure.
At the current stage, this person named Chen Qingyuan was ver? influential. Despite being retired, his connections are still intact, and he could definitely y a positive role in this matter.
However, his luck wasnt very good; the Wang family has already stepped down, and Liang Ruoxu had taken over.
At the very least, Lin Yi wouldnt pay much attention to him anymore..
Chapter 1742: Acting Awesome
Chapter 1742: Acting Awesome
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
What exactly did he say?
He just said that he wanted to meet me. He didnt say anything else. He Yuanyuan said.
I pretended to say I was out on a business trip. He told me to send someone over to talk about it. Thats when I called you.
Give me his address and contact information. Ill take care of the rest.
Then I wont worry about it.
Lin Yi nodded. Ill handle it.
After finishing his business, Lin Yi hung up and drove to Liang Ruoxus ce.
Coincidentally, Liang Ruoxu walked out just as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
Dressed in a blue tailcoat skirt that reached just to her knees and a ck-and-white striped V-neck blouse with three-quarter sleeves, Liang Ruoxuplemented her outfit with a ck handbag. The ensemble was both beautiful and striking.
After stepping out, Liang Ruoxu nced around and noticed that Lin Yi had changed cars, but she didnt inquire further about it.
Its been a long time since Ive seen you dressed like this.
Lin Yi said with a smile.
Liang Ruoxu haughtily lifted her head, Was I not feminine before?
Sort of missed the mark.
Ah, more than just a bit off, Liang Ruoxu pouted. Its always the same few outfits, never getting the chance to try something different.
Dontin, Lin Yi consoled with a smile.
There isnt such a thing as perfect in everything. Your life is already quite free-spirited; be content.
Im just venting to you, Liang Ruoxu said with a gentle smile.
I understand that, but not being able to wear beautiful clothes feels like a foodie not eating meat.
I think the key issue isnt really about that.
Then what is it about?
Its about my future mother-inw. She can wear all the beautiful clothes, shoes, and use all the fancy bags, but you cant. Thats where the problem lies.
Liang Ruoxu fell silent.
He hit the nail on the head.
Tsk, lets not talk about this. Lets go watch a movie.
Well watch the movieter. Im in a little trouble here.
Hmm? What kind of trouble?
Liang Ruoxu instinctively realized that something might be wrong.
With his ability and influence, there were not many things that could make Lin Yi take the initiative to voice his concerns.
Tes people found Chen Yuanqing. Then, he called ourpany and said that he wanted to talk to the person in charge.
They actually got Chen Yuanqing? Liang Ruoxu was surprised. She hadnt expected that such a thing would happen.
Im a little impressed by these people. Theyre quite capable.
When did he arrange to meet you? Liang Ruoxu asked seriously.
Let me get there as soon as possible.
Does he think that the Wang family is still in power? Liang Ruoxu said.
Ill go with you and see what he wants to say to you!
Lets go.
Following the address He Yuanyuan sent, Lin Yi drove to Chen Yuanqings house.
Chen Yuanqings house was near the outer ring of Zhonghai. Although it was a little remote, the property prices were not cheap. It was just that the house was a little old.
When they arrived at the neighborhood, the two of them were not in a hurry to get out of the car.
Lin Yi looked out of the car window, feeling that living in such a ce suited his status.
Hes from the previous government. By right, you should have met him when you came over, right?
We were separated by a few months. Liang Ruoxubed her hair and said,
He retired normally. I was transferred here a few monthster.
But Zhonghai was originally controlled by the Wang family. At that time, they were still the number one family. How could the Liang family ce you here?
Because Zhonghai is too important. Even though the Wang family was the top family at that time, they didnt have the guts topletely control this ce, so they had to give up some of their power. The position of the first-in-charge was reserved for them, but the position of the second-in-charge naturally couldnt also be ahnded to them.
Liang Ruoxu took out a blue mask from her bag and said,
The reason why I was sent here at such a young age was not only because of the Liang familys influence, but also because of my opposing rtionship with the Wang family. It was also the key to facilitating this matter. If it were anyone else, the higher-ups would not have agreed.
Are you saying that they sent you here to keep the Wang family in check?
Smart. Liang Ruoxu smiled and said.
If it wasnt for the A.I. Chip, the Wang family would have suffered a setback at your hands. To be honest, Im not sure if I could have been promoted.
Its fine. You dont have to thank me too much. Just wash up tonight and wait for me.
Screw you. Liang Ruoxu opened the car door and got out. Stop chatting here and get down to business.
Lin Yi got out of the car with a smile and walked towards Chen Yuanqings house by following the address.
ng! ng! ng!
Here we go.
After knocking on the door, a voice came from the room. A few secondster, the door was opened by a woman in her sixties. Lin Yi smiled and nodded.
Hello, Im looking for Elder Chen.
Hes in the house. Come in,e in.
The olddy was very enthusiastic and found slippers for the two of them.
Chen Yuanqings house was not big. It was about 90 square meters, and theyout was not bad. It was just that the interior decoration was a little dated.
An old man with ck and white hair sat on the sofa. He wore reading sses on his nose and held a newspaper in his hand.
When he saw the two of them enter, he nced at them out of the corner of his eye.
Are you the person in charge of Lingyun Group?
Thats me. Lin Yi smiled. Why did you call me here today?
Chen Yuanqing put down the newspaper and didnt say any pleasantries. He went straight to the point.
Can you take responsibility for Lingyun Group?
I can. Just let me know if you need anything.
Then do you know who I am?
I do.
Its good that you know. It saves me the trouble of talking nonsense. Chen Yuanqing said.
Te is apany that I brought over back then. There are some things going on now that I think should stop. Otherwise, it wont do you any good. You understand what I mean, right?
Not really.
Oh?
The expressionless Chen Yuanqing suddenly frowned with a hint of coldness.
Ive already made myself clear, yet you still say that you dont understand. Are you pretending to be ignorant with me?!
No, Lin Yi said faintly.
Im just curious. There are clearly all kinds of problems with Te. Its fine if they dont take the initiative to take responsibility, but they actually keep pushing the me onto the consumers. The Lingyun Group chose to interfere in this matter out of the interests of themoners. Why do you want us to stop?
Chen Yuanqing raised his head and looked at Lin Yi with a scrutinizing gaze.
Are you trying to reason with me?
You can understand it that way. Its just a matter of fact. Theres no other meaning behind my words.
Young man, I dont know what position you hold in Lingyun Group, but since youre here, you must have a high position. Go get someone else. I dont want to talk to you about this anymore.
If you want to speak to someone else, Im afraid it wont work. Lin Yi said.
I alone take full responsibility for Lingyun Groups matters. If you dont want to talk to me, Ill leave. Goodbye..

Stop right there! Chen Yuanqing said coldly.
If you have something to say, say it.
I think youve underestimated my influence. Chen Yuanqing said with a straight face.
Let me tell you, even if Im retired now, as long as 1 say the word, your Lingyun Group can forget about conducting business in peace.
Are you threatening me? Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
Im just telling you how powerful 1 am!
Lin Yis lips curled up as he looked at Chen Yuanqing with a smile.
Im not here today because Im afraid of you. 1 just want to tell you that youre already old, so dont get involved in the rotten things outside. Be careful not to lose your integrity.
Chen Yuanqing became flustered.
What are you talking about!
You know what Im talking about. The Wang family has fallen. Dont act like a tyrant in front of me. Lin Yi patted his shoulder and said calmly.
Times have changed. Da Qing has fallen.
How dare you!
Chen Yuanqings expression was ugly. He did not expect the man in front of him to know such a secret.
Only then did he seriously examine the man in front of him.
No wonder Lingyun Group had sent him here. This person was not simple.
Whats the use of knowing these things? Chen Yuanqing said.
With my ability, I can still make Lingyun Group pay the price.
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu pulled down her mask and spoke before Lin Yi.
I want to ask, what method will you use to deal with Lingyun Group?
Chen Yuanqing was stunned when he saw Liang Ruoxu.
Because he was a member of this circle, he constantly watched thetest developments.
The moment Liang Ruoxu took off her mask, he recognized who Liang Ruoxu was!
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that she woulde as well.
Secretary Liang, why are you
Lets not beat around the bush. You know very well whats going on here. I came here today to give you some face. I hope you wont get involved again. It wont do you any good.
Liang Ruoxus words essentially made the final decision. Chen Yuanqing did not dare to say anything else.
However, at that moment, the light in his eyes dimmed significantly.
Facing the current situation, he had no way out. In fact, there was nothing he could do.
This is my fault. Lets call it a day.
Liang Ruoxu didnt say anything. He looked at Lin Yi and said, Lets go.
Lin Yi nodded and the two of them got out of the car.
Very good. You didnt leave any leeway at all. We managed to stifle his temperament.
Hes from the Wang family. Theres no need to be polite. Liang Ruoxu exhaled and said.
The rtionship between the two families has always been tense and conflicting. He might be smiling at me today, but he might stab me in the back tomorrow. Ive seen too many such things. There are also many people who have been yed to death just like this. Its not easy to survive in this industry.
I understand. This is certainly a lot of trouble.
Alright, lets not talk about this anymore, Liang Ruoxu said. Lets find a ce to eat first. Im hungry.
Lets go.
After the two of them left, Chen Yuanqing sat on the sofa in a daze and did note back to his senses for a long time.
Ten minutester, Chen Yuanqing let out a long sigh and dialed Wang Tingshans number.
Five people were sitting in the living room of Wang Tingshans house in Yanjing.
Sitting on the main seat was Wang Tingshan. His military advisor, Chen Chufeng, sat on his left and Wang Mian sat on his right.
On the other side sat a middle-aged man.
He was in his forties. He had short hair and a tanned face. There was an obvious scar on his neck.
The middle-aged mans name was Chen Shengjie, a direct descendant of the Wang family and the leader of Team 4 of the Central Guards Brigade.
In addition to these people, Wang Tingshans assistant, Li Mi, was also standing at the side, waiting for Wang Tingshan to finish his call and continue talking about what had just happened.
Soon, Wang Tingshan hung up the phone. He didnt look too good.
Whats wrong? Chen Chufeng asked.
Chen Qingyuan called. He said that Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu went to look for him.
The two of them?!
Everyone present was familiar with Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu.
However, they did not understand why the two of them went to look for Chen Qingyuan. Logically speaking, they should not have any interactions.
Recently, Tes matter has caused a hugemotion. You should have heard about it, right? Tingshan Wang said.
It was Chen Qingyuan who brought over Te. Now that theyre in trouble, he asked for his help. Then, Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu went to see him.
I heard about this. 1 think the Lingyun Group took the initiative to participate in this matter.
This kid is really smart to attack Te at this time. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the electric carpanies in the country, said Chen Chufeng.
Wang Tingshan nodded, agreeing with what Chen Chufeng said.
If he were Lin Yi, he would probably do the same.
A stumbling block like Te was also a considerable obstacle to the development of electric cars in the country.
However, Liang Ruoxus appearance means that the Liang family no longer respects the Wang family.
No one said anything because that was the truth.
I dont think we should waste any more time on the Panem Canal. Lets do it in the next few days. 1 dont have the patience to wait any longer, Wang Mian said.
Wang Tingshan paused. Elder Chen, what do you think?
I also think its about time. Coincidentally, their people are over there too. Lets start with them!
Wang Tingshan nodded. Li Mi, exin this matter, but you must pay attention to your identity and not reveal it.
Understood!
Old Chen, keep an eye on him. If Li Mi misses anything, youll have to take action.
Leave it to me, Chen Guanjie said.
After leaving Chen Yuanqings house, Lin Yi brought Liang Ruoxu to a Sichuan cuisine and watched a movie.
Originally, he wanted to bring her to the mall and buy her some clothes.
However, Liang Ruoxu did not want to show her face in public. After watching the movie, they took a walk outside before he sent her back.
At this moment, Yang Tiannans office was silent.
He and Zhao Fenghua smoked non-stop without any expression on their faces. No one knew what they were thinking.
Its been so long. Why hasnt there been any news from Old Chen? Zhao Fenghua said anxiously.
Harper will be here in a few hours. If we dont resolve this matter, it will affect our futures.
I know that, Yang Tiannan said expressionlessly.
But I dont think its a big problem. Although hes retired, his connections from back then are still strong. Moreover, I heard that he has a powerful backer behind him. Its no problem for him to deal with this matter. He just needs some time.
Ring ring ring!
Just as the two of them were discussing this matter, Yang Tiannans phone rang.
Here he is!
Chapter 1744: Ji Qingyan’s Thoughts
Chapter 1744: Ji Qingyans Thoughts
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Seeing that it was a call from Chen Yuanqing, Yang Tiannan heaved a sigh of relief.
The call is finally here.
This matter has blown up quite a bit. Old Chen might have spent a lot of time dealing with it.
Zhao Fenghua stubbed out her cigarette. This Lingyun Group is really not easy to deal with. Elder Chen personally came out but had to spend so much time. Hmph, so what if theyre difficult to deal with? Yang Tiannan said disdainfully, Didnt Old Chen still end up dealing with them?
As he spoke, Yang Tiannan held his phone and pressed the answer button. He said kindly,
Elder Chen, the matters at Lingyun Group should have been settled, right?
You can admit defeat. Lingyun Group is not something you can provoke, Chen Yuanqing said.
Just bear with what the higher-ups want to do. If you do anything else to resist, you might die an even more miserable death.
Well
As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them were stunned.
The cigarette butt in Yang Tiannans hand almost fell to the ground.
How, how could this be? Could it be that even you, Elder Chen, cant resolve this matter?
This matter has already surpassed my ability. I also hope that you guys wont put up a meaningless struggle. Admit defeat. Youve offended someone you shouldnt have.
Chen Yuanqing did not give the two of them a chance to speak and directly hung up.
The office was extremely quiet. Their faces were pale. This was something they had never imagined.
Especially thest sentence, it was like the lingering sound of a bell ringing in their minds.
He had offended someone he shouldnt have!
The two of them still could not understand. Could it be that the person they should not have offended was that young policeman?
But he was just a police officer. What was so special about him?
President Yang, do you think the person Old Chen was talking about is that young policeman?
I dont really believe it, but since the ident, we dont seem to have had any intense conflicts with anyone other than him.
Do I really have to meet him?
Yang Tiannan kept fiddling with his phone.
Give him a call and see if we can make an appointment tomorrow. If we can, talk to him first. At the very least, find out whats going on.
Ill call him now.
Zhao Fenghua dialed Lin Yis number and turned on the public speaker. Twenty secondster, the call was picked up.
Why are you looking for me?
Lin Yi saidzily on the phone.
Mr. Lin, I want to talk to you about something recent. Ten oclock tomorrow morning at Junfu Teahouse on Century Avenue.
Are you informing me? Lin Yi said.
Why are you still acting cool at a time like this? Do you not understand the situation?
Lin Yis words immediately extinguished Zhao Fenghuas anger.
Thats not what I meant. I just wanted to invite you out for a chat.
This time, Zhao Fenghua put on a kind tone and humbled himself.
If you want to talk to me, just say it over the phone.
Zhao Fenghua raised his head and looked at Yang Tiannan. When he saw Yang Tiannan shake his head, he said,
There are some things that cant be exined over the phone. Letse out and talk.
Alright, Ill see you tomorrow.
Lin Yi didnt refuse. Now that things hade to this point, it was time to close the.
See you.
After hanging up, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Yang Tiannan waved his hand and sighed.
Its gettingte. Lets go back and rest first. When we meet tomorrow, well try to get some information out of him. After that, well more or less understand whats going on.
Zhao Fenghua nodded. Im leaving. You should rest early too.
At Jiuzhou Pavilion, after Lin Yi hung up the phone, Ji Qingyan approached with a te of fruit.
Was that call from Te?
How did you know?
Your tone of voice on the phone gave it away. Ji Qingyan ced the fruit in front of Lin Yi and said.
I feel like the situation has escted enough; Te no longer has the capability to retaliate.
Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan with interest, How can you tell?
Its simple, they miscalcted the situation.
Go on, President Ji, continue.
When discussing serious matters, Lin Yi would speak to Ji Qingyan with this tone, which she found quite fulfilling.
They held themselves too high. The state has subsidized the electric vehicle industry for so many years, and many car manufacturers have greatly improved their quality. Yet, they didnt take the Huaxia market seriously, thinking they were superior, but in reality, they were already isted. The Huaxia market doesnt really need them anymore, Ji Qingyan exined.
Ive also been following a lot of news about Tetely, and I feel that even if Lingyun Group hadnt stepped in, other carpanies could have suppressed them just as effectively. Lingyun Group just provided an opportunity, and I believe theyve been waiting for this day for a long time.
Does it feel like the six major sects are besieging Light Summit?
Ji Qingyan nodded with a smile. Indeed, but they dont have Zhang Wuji to defend it.
Smart. President Jis analysis is very thorough.
Now that the officials have stepped in, they have no room to struggle, so I think
Ji Qingyans big ck eyes looked at Lin Yi. When do you want to close the?
Huh? You can even tell that? Lin Yi asked curiously.
Weve been together for so long. If I didnt even know this much about you, Id be too ipetent.
Ji Qingyan fed Lin Yi a cherries and said,
Youre the kind of person who usually doesnt make a move, but if you do, youll crush the other party to death. Te cant possibly get out now.
Haha
Lin Yiughed out loud. He felt that Ji Qingyan really knew him well.
They called me, were set to meet tomorrow at ten, but Im still not quite sure how to handle it, Lin Yi said, stroking his chin.
Their technology is indeed impressive, it just depends on whether theyre willing to share.
Ji Qingyan took a strawberry, chewing it slowly and thoughtfully.
Thats a pretty hefty demand, but they no longer have room to retreat.
Wiry are you so sure?
Because they dont have the capacity to fight us to the bitter end, Ji Qingyan exined.
The fish might die, but the wont break.
Its not necessarily so. If they throw in the towel and announce the exit of their superfactory from Huaxia, it will still have a significant impact on the economy.
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi with a mischievous expression.
Lin Yi felt that her clever mind was definitely not up to anything good.
If they really leave, it would give Lingyun Group an opportunity, Ji Qingyan said.
Taking over thend and factory, along with the technical staff that remains, and bringing them under Lingyun Groups wing! With Lingyun Groups ability to integrate within the industry, they could produce a new Te within two years!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis eyes lit up as he looked at Ji Qingyan in surprise.
This was because his initial idea was to use this matter to cheat Te.
Even if the gains were slight, as long as it was beneficial to his side or the development of the entire electric car industry, he would be satisfied.
However, he did not expect Ji Qingyan to be so ruthless as to chase them out.
She would not leave them any leeway at all.
I think thats a very good idea.
Lin Yi gave her a thumbs up. Thankyou for pointing me in the right direction, President Ji. Youre the lighthouse of my life. To thankyou, I want to give you a kiss to show my sincerity.
Hehe
Ji Qingyan tried to resist. Pfft, pfft, pfft. Youre just trying to take advantage of me, yet youre making it sound so dignified.
Since youve found out, I wont pretend anymore. Illy my cards on the table. I just want to kiss you.
Lin Yi grabbed Ji Qingyans arm and nted a kiss on her cheek.
Ji Qingyans beautiful eyes narrowed into crescents, resembling a thousand red blooming flowers.
The two of them yed around for a while before Ji Qingyan returned upstairs to take a shower. Lin Yi, on the other hand, had a rare moment of rxation. He was ready to y games and rx.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Yi sent Ji Qingyan to work as usual.
However, on the way there, he received a call from He Yuanyuan.
Ji Qingyan did not think too much about it and picked up the call.
Whats wrong, Yuanyuan?
Harper, the vice president of Te, is here. He wants to meet you.
The vice president is here?
Ji Qingyan nced at Lin Yi. This was quite different from what she had expected.
She and Lin Yi both felt that with the current situation, Te had no room to struggle anymore.
They had expected that only the head of Tes Huaxian operations would be sent to handle the aftermath.
He did not expect the vice president toe personally.
This didnt seem like a move merely to manage the fallout; it appeared they still wanted to rescue the situation.
His secretary called me. Ill call back and see if he wants to meet.
Then lets meet together. Lin Yi said faintly, Ten oclock in the morning, Junfu Teahouse on Century Avenue.
Alright, Ill let him know.
After hanging up, Ji Qingyan thought for a moment and said,
Why do I feel like theres a disagreement within Te? Why are they asking you out?
Its normal. Lin Yi said.
This matter cant be controlled anymore. Over 200 billion in market value has evaporated overnight. The head office will definitely send someone over to take over this matter. However, the person in charge of Huaxia definitely doesnt want the headquarters to deal with this matter. Otherwise, they will be questioned. They would want to settle this matter before Harper arrives.
Youre too evil. You actually invited them to meet together. Ji Qingyan covered her mouth andughed.
This is more interesting. Previously, they kept showing off in front of me. I have to make them pay a price.
Thats true. Theres no reason to talk about business. Lets just see what the best offer is.
Clever.
Soon, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group and sat in Ji Qingyans office for a while before setting off for Junfu Teahouse.
When Lin Yi arrived, Yang Tiannan and Zhao Fenghua were already there.
Seeing Lin Yi, neither of them put on airs. They stood up one after another and weed him in.
Mr. Lin, this way please, Yang Tiannan said politely.
Its working hours now. Im really sorry to ask you out.
Yang Tiannan was very polite. He even took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Lin Yi withplete sincerity.
Its a small matter. Lin Yi said lightly.
Since youre already out, lets talk openly. Theres no need to hide anything.
Since Mr. Lin has said so, lets open our hearts. We came with sincerity. Yang Tiannan said.
We really want to get to the bottom of this. Were these things on the Inte pushed by Mr. Lin?
Do you think Im that capable?
I think theres no need to keep us in suspense now. Yang Tiannan said.
On the surface, youre a police officer, so its impossible for you to have such great ability. However, I dont believe that this matter could be so coincidental. I think that you must have added fuel to the fire.
Youre right. Youre not stupid.
After receiving Lin Yis affirmative answer, their hearts couldnt help but race.
This time, they finally confirmed their guess.
The person they couldnt afford to offend was this man in front of them!
If youre the instigator of this matter, I dont believe that youre just a simple police officer. Yang Tiannans tone became more and more polite.
Even Chen Yuanqing had confirmed his identity. Naturally, he could not afford to offend him.
Since Im willing toe here today, theres nothing to hide about my identity.
Lin Yi picked up his teacup and took a sip before looking at his watch.
But if I say it myself, it wont be interesting. When someone elseester, the other party will tell you everything.
Someone else ising?
The two of them looked at each other and could not help but feel nervous.
Todays meeting was a private one.
Who would he invite over?
At that moment, footsteps came from downstairs.
The two of them subconsciously looked back and saw Harper and his secretary walking in from below.
The two of them were surprised to see Harper.
Both sides had spoken on the phone in advance. Yang Tiannan was about to pick him up at the airport, but he had rejected him.
He said that he had to deal with some other matters before returning to thepany. He did not expect toe here directly.
Meanwhile, Harper was the same. He was surprised to see Yang Tiannan and Zhao Fenghua here.
Mr. Harper, are you here to meet Mr. Lin? Yang Tiannan asked.
Yes, so you have an appointment with President Lin too.
President Lin?
Hearing this title, the two of them were very shocked.
They didnt understand why Harper called Lin Yi that.
Why do you have such an expression? Dont you know his identity?
Harper looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with confusion. He felt that it was unbelievable and said.
If you dont know his identity, why did you arrange to meet him here?
M-Mr. Lin has never revealed his identity to me
Yang Tiannan did not know how to exin this matter, so he could only exin casually.
Sure enough, Harpers expression changed.
After such a huge incident, they still didnt know the other partys identity.
These two peoples work was too ipetent!
Since you dont know President Lins identity yet, Ill tell you. Haber looked a little unhappy and said,
The person sitting in front of you is Lin Yi, the president of Lingyun Group, President Lin.
Chapter 1746: Talks Break Down
Chapter 1746: Talks Break Down
Trantor EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor. EndlessFantasy Trantion
Hes the president of Lingyun Group!
After knowing Lin Yis identity, the two of them broke out in cold sweat, their expressions ugly.
At the same time, the doubts in his heart were also resolved.
No wonder he had the confidence to go against Te.
He even threatened to smash Tes rice pot.
There was a reason why the Lingyun Group was the first to step forward. He
was the one who instigated it.
After that, there was a chain reaction.
It caused Te to fall into a hopeless situation.
At the thought of this, the two of them felt their hair stand on end.
They had unintentionally offended such a person.
But why would such a person want to be a lowly police officer? What was
the purpose of this?
Harper didnt give the two of them a chance to think too much. He walked straight to Lin Yi and extended his hand enthusiastically.
President Lin, thankyou for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet
I want to have a serious chat with you about Te.
Lin Yi responded politely and shook hands with Harper.
If you have anything to say, you can talk openly. After all, everyones time is
limited. Theres no need to hide.
Thats good, Haber said.
Our current hope is that Lingyun Group will not pursue this matter. This is my greatest request foring to Huaxia.
But you have to understand one thing. This matter has nothing to do with
Lingyun Group anymore. Your actions have angered everyone. Even if I dont pursue the matter, others will.
Lin Yi poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly,
You should be looking inward, noting to me. Do you understand?
I know what you mean, Haber said.
But Im very aware of Lingyun Groups influence and status in Zhonghai, and even throughout Huaxia. If you take the lead and set an example, I believe this matter will be resolved very quickly. Otherwise, I wouldnt havee to look for you immediately.
Hehe
Lin Yi sneered. What else do you want to say?
Nothing, thats my main purpose today.
Lin Yi fiddled with the teacup in his hand and slowly said.
If you only want to talk about these things today, I think we can stop here. As for how this matter will develop, its best not to ask me. Go to the mountain and offer a few incense sticks. Ask Bodhisattva what to do about this matter.
Yang Tiannan and Zhao Fenghuas expressions changed.
Without a doubt, Lin Yi was angry.
But Harper was dumbfounded, not knowing why this was happening.
President Lin, I flew over from Meiguo with sincerity. Why are you leaving so soon?
Are you f*cking crazy? Lin Yi said bluntly.
The problem was clearly your fault. Now, youre not offering a solution, but instead, youre asking me to clean up the mess. Am I your Peking father?
Yang Tiannan and Zhao Fenghua were so frightened that their hearts were pounding.
No one expected Lin Yi to speak to Harper in such a tone.
How was this a president-level figure? He was more like a hooligan.
After being scolded by Lin Yi, Harpers expression was not very good.
The car is an industrial product. There would inevitably be problems. Weve ? already promised topensate you. President Lin, are you still not satisfied?
You thinkpensation will work? Lin Yi said.
Believe it or not, the moment you walk out of this teahouse, there could be a Te with failing brakes ready to hit you. If you dont believe me, I can arrange for you to experience it.
If Lin Yis words just now had made their hearts race,
Now, it almost jumped out of his throat.
This was a tant threat, and the other party was Tes vice president.
He was too bold.
Zhao Fenghua secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
He felt like a retard.
Previously, she had even shamelessly threatened Lin Yi.
In thetters eyes, he was probably not even a fart.
Then what do you think I should do? Isnt this the most logical approach?
If you dont recall all the problematic cars and apologize publicly, this matter wont end. Dont tell me if you want topensate me. We Huaxians dontck that bit of money, Lin Yi said.
As for what to do, you can choose for yourselves. Dont test my patience. Not to mention you, even if Musk himselfes, itll be useless to me.
Thats impossible. Harper refused.
Whether its recalling the car or a public apology, we wont agree to either. This is just an individual phenomenon. You cant make a mountain out of a molehill.
Making a mountain out of a molehill?
Lin Yi sneered. Well see. I dont dare say anything else, but I can still cut
Tes market value in half within a year.
Harper pulled a long face and said solemnly,
If you say that, youre underestimating ourpany. As a greatpany, we definitely wont let you defeat us!
Great my ass. Musk brags every day. Hes either on Mars or on the moon. To put it bluntly, hes just trying to cheat investors of their money. Does he really think that hes different just because his goal is the sea of stars?
President Lin, we came here today with sincerity, but youre talking to me with a terrible attitude. I think theres no need for us to continue talking. And your behavior today doesnt seem like youre a qualified businessman. Youre too impulsive.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Harper. Are you threatening me? Im just stating the facts. What youre doing doesnt follow business logic, Haber said excitedly.
Were willing to make concessions. Thats the biggestpromise. You shouldnt ask for anything else.
Ill say it again. Well see.
I know that Lingyun Group is a giant in the Huaxia semiconductor field, but I hope you understand that your influence in the world is very small and cant pose a threat to us.
Whats the use of being so pretentious? Lin Yi smiled.
If you really thinkyoure awesome, quit the Huaxia market now. That way, no one will be able to threaten you.
Harpers expression changed. As the region with the fastest economic growth in the world, they couldnt exit the Huaxia market.
Since President Lin is unwilling to talk to us, Te will counterattack. Through this incident, I will show you that Te is invincible.
Come on, then. Let me see how awesome you guys are.
With that, Lin Yi left without looking back.
Harper stood where he was, still looking arrogant.
However, Yang Tiannan and Zhao Fenghua were trembling in fear.
Neither of them had expected things to turn out this way.
They were even more uncertain about what that man who did not y by the rules would do next.

After leaving the teahouse, Lin Yi drove back to Lingyun Group.
On the way back to the office, he happened to bump into Tian Yan.
She was about to greet Lin Yi when she was frightened by his dark face.
Did something happen to President Lin?
Inform all the executives of the corporation that there will be a meeting in the conference room in ten minutes.
Got it. Ill inform them now.
Lin Yi returned to his office and immediately called Liang Ruoxu.
If theres nothing urgent, wait a moment. I have a meeting to host. Liang
ruoxu s hurried voice came from the phone.
Ill just say one thing. Just follow it, Lin Yi said.
inform Customs that they cant clear Tes merchandise from now on. Dont
ask why. Just do as I say.
I understand. Liang Ruoxu did not hesitate at all.
From Lin Yis call, she realized that something bad might have happened.
Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldnt have spoken in such a tone.
Is there a problem with Te?
Im preparing to f*ck them up again.
I UNDERSTAND what to do.
Ji Qingyan knew Lin Yi well, and so did Liang Ruoxu.
Something must have happened that he couldntpletely control.
Otherwise, his attitude wouldnt be so serious.
Ill leave this to you.
Dont worry, I know what to do.
After a brief conversation, Liang Ruoxu hung up the phone.
Liang Ruoxu sat in the office for a few minutes without moving.
There must be a reason why Lin Yi was doing such an intense thing.
But it was not far from the truth. The two sides should have met, but negotiations should have copsed.
Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldnt be using such an extreme method to deal with Te.
Amidst these thoughts, Liang Ruoxu surmised that the situation had likely escted into amercial confrontation.
Simply restricting their customs clearance would not be enough.
ng! ng! ng!
Just as Liang Ruoxu was thinking about these things
There was a knock on the office door. A middle-aged woman stood outside and looked at her with a smile.
Secretary Liang, its time for the meeting.
The meeting is postponed for to minutes. Help me notify them.
The middle-aged woman was a little stunned. This was a particrly important meeting. If she waste
The middle-aged woman wanted to say something, but when she saw that Liang Ruoxus expression did not look too good, she held back what she wanted to say.
Got it. Ill inform them now.
Before leaving, the middle-aged woman closed the door.
Liang Ruoxu picked up his phone and called Shen Shuyi.
Mom, theres a problem here.
Did something happen to you, or did something happen to Lm Yi?
Arent you asking the obvious? Its obviously him. Im fine.
Is he ready to attack Te?
He didnt tell me the details, but I, guessing thats the case.
Let him do it himself. Im not going to help.
Why? He helped you so much in the past, but now youre leaving him be.
Youre too much. Liang Ruoxu said unhappily.
If it werent for him, the Liang family wouldnt be where they are today. You have to know this.
I think youre the one whos going overboard. Its not like anything has happened yet, but youve already learned to side with outsiders.
Im just being honest.
Dont you know what kind of person he is? After such a big incident, Te would sooner skin themselves than let him live. However, the other party isnt easy to deal with whilst Lin Yi wontpromise easily. Now is the time to test him. If he loses, it means that he still has to continue cultivating. It might not be a bad thing at his age, Shen Shuyi said.
Moreover, theres not much I can do to help with this matter. I can only look for the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Although Lin Yi has done a lot of things and left a good impression on the leaders, its best to keep these favors until you need it. You cant use it at the first opportunity, in case you need itter.
Shen Shuyis words made Liang Ruoxu understand theirplicated rtionship.
I understand your reasoning, but the current situation is indeed a little
urgent.
What are you panicking for? Its not thest phase yet. Instead of taking the initiative to ask those leaders for help, its better to let them personally step in to help. Shen Shuyi said.
There are certain things that they will know how to deal with without us
saying.
You mean you want me to wait and see?
Yes, Lin Yi isnt as weak as you think. Dont worry.
Liang Ruoxu pursed his lips. Alright, I got it.
Lin Yis office, Lin Yispany.
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yi had just hung up when his phone rang again.
It was an unknown number, but Lin Yi was very familiar with it.
This was one of the few unfamiliar numbers he could remember.
To him, the other party was like the most familiar stranger.
It was Caie Mitsui from the Mitsui Corporation.
After their separation in Touo, the two of them had not contacted each other for almost a year.
He did not expect her to call at this time.
Mr. Lin, Im Caie Mitsui, she said gently.
I remember your phone number. You dont have to introduce yourself. Youre making me look like a heartless person.
I was afraid youd forget me, so I said that.
You and I have had our moments, however brief. I may be a bit too generous with my affections, but I certainly dont suffer from forgetfulness, Lin Yi said. If theres nothing else, Ill call you backter. I have a meeting here and dont have time to chat with you.
Is this about Te?
You even guessed that?
Ive been following the news on this recently, and you said you were busy. I guessed you were dealing with them.
Youre pretty smart.
Caie Mitsui smiled. Her voice was unusually pleasant.
I was just guessing. I didnt think Id be right. I called to ask if there was anything I could do to help.
Lin Yi smacked his lips. Caie Mitsuis call hade at the right time. Otherwise, he would have really forgotten about this important rtionship. Te hasntpromised. Both sides arepletely at odds. Im guessing they will use the power of international capital to suppress Lingyun Group. If its convenient for you, do help.
Okay, but I suggest we sit tight and see what they do before we take countermeasures.
You can do as you see fit. I believe in your ability, Lin Yi leaned back in his chair and said.
Are you confident Ill get this done? Caie Mitsui asked happily.
Youre the only woman Ive ever slept with who is under a D-cup. Im sure youre capable of this much.
Caie Mitsuis elegantughter came from the other end of the phone.
Its my pleasure.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor EndlessFantasy Trantion
After hanging up Caie Mitsuis call, Lin Yi got up and went to the meeting room. At this moment, more than 20 executives of the corporation were all sitting in the conference room, but it was extremely quiet. There was not even a whisper. It was rare for the president toe to a meeting personally.
Everyone was like soldiers rushing to the frontlines. They sat upright and did not dare to be negligent.
A few minutester, the female secretary pushed open the meeting room door. Lin Yi walked in after her, followed by He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan.
Seeing Lin Yi, everyones expressions subconsciously became serious as they waited for the meeting to begin.
The three of them sat down one after another. Lin Yis gaze swept across everyone.
Recently, everyone should have heard about ourpanys conflict
with Te.
Everyone nodded. They naturally knew that such a big thing had happened in thepany.
If they didnt know, he wouldnt be qualified to sit here for a meeting.
When this matter broke out, the executives of the corporation were all amazed by the presidents influence.
An announcement was made, and titans of the semiconductor and electric car industries came forward one after another. In the end, even the officials got involved in this matter.
At one point, Tes market cap had shrunk by more than 200 billion!
From this, it could be seen how terrifying the presidents influence in the financial markets was.
Although he rarely appeared in thepany, he was still very reliable.
If the group did not have him, they would not function properly.
Now, Im going to do something big with Te, Lin Yi said.
Chip, mobile phone, and Didi Chuxing are all our main industries. I guess they will start from these aspects, especially in the chip field. This is our main battlefield. Once the other party has any movements or developments in this area, they will announce it immediately.
Understood! one of the executives replied.
Marketing, PR, go back and put together a few slides of a PowerPoint, announce that were going to make cars.
All?
Not just the heads of marketing and public rtions, even He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan didnt expect Lin Yi to make such a move.
President Lin, can making cars through PowerPoint really work? asked the head of marketing.
Previously, Hengda did just that with PowerPoint cars, and then they were called out by state media. If we do the same, wouldnt that be like openly defying thew?
No worries, you can involve the Mitsui consortium from Sunrise Land, Toyota is one of their industries. With such an ally helping us, we can put whatever we want in our PowerPoint, Lin Yi exined.
So, our PowerPoint cars are different from Hengdas. They did it to round up funds, were just bluffing. No ones going to care about us; after all, bluffing isnt illegal.
He Yuanyuan,
Tian Yan,
All executives,
Are you sure we can write whatever? Is there anything that needs to be controlled? the head of PR asked.
No need, even if you write that I slept with the president of Mitsui Group its fine.
Hiss
The expressions of the executives changed dramatically, amazed at Lin Yis powerful connections.
Incredible!
Tian Yan, Lin Yi spoke softly.
Yes, President Lin?
Handle the coordination with Mitsui Group. Whatever we need from them, just ask. They wont refuse. Just make your demands confidently.
Got it.
Tian Yan was a little suspicious. If it was just an ordinary rtionship, she shouldnt be able to be so unscrupulous, right?
The PowerPoint slides was probably just bragging.
However, it was hard to tell if President Lin had really slept with the president of Mitsui Group.
After all, the president of Mitsui Group was quite good-looking.
Yuanyuan.
Please speak, President Lin.
In public, He Yuanyuan acted like a subordinate and spoke seriously.
Old Qin, Old Liang, Old Gao, youll be in charge of the Mitsui Group. Well tie them together.
Understood.
Other than these, the other departments should also be prepared. The opponent this time is quite interesting. Everyone, buck up and get ready to do something big.
What if we defeat Te and they leave the Huaxia market? Tian Yan asked.
Dont worry, they cant bear to. LinYi said.
If they really leave the Huaxia market, well turn the bragging on the PowerPoint slides into reality. How simple would that be?
When everyone heard this, they were delighted.
Because this was very likely to be another long-term strategic deployment of President Lin.
Alright, the meeting will end here. If theres anything, report it to Director He and Director Tian.
With that, Lin Yi stood up and prepared to leave.
However, the moment he left, he turned around and said,
When the various departments go back and check on themselvester, see if any of the employees below are driving Tes. Give them an additional ident insurance to reflect ourpanys employee care.
Pfft!
The executives couldnt help butugh. President Lin was too humorous.
However, he could take this opportunity to talk about it.
After leaving the meeting room, Lin Yi returned to his office and called Alice.
Now, since she held a significant position at Intel, another Meiguonpany, her potential to influence Tes strategies esd much greater than initially anticipated. It was important to discuss this matter with her as well.
This way, he could catch them off guard.
After Lin Yi left, Harper and the other two didnt stay in the teahouse for long and returned to thepany together.
Mr. Harper, what should we do now? In the office, Yang Tiannan said.
This sort of thing is very detrimental to our future development. We cant underestimate Lingyun Groups influence.
I know. Next, Ill talk to the leaders of the Huaxia government. It wont be difficult to resolve this matter.
Ive already done this before. You should know Chen Yuanqing, right? He was the one who brought Te to Huaxia, but in the end, he told me not to provoke Lin Yi. He said that we cant afford to offend him.
He actually said that?!
Haber knew about Chen Yuanqing.
Because at that time, he was in charge of connecting with Chen Yuanqing when he came to Huaxia to build the super factory.
It was precisely because he had facilitated this project that he was promoted to vice president two yearster.
Therefore, he knew Chen Yuanqing very well.
The other partys words were enough to prove that this matter was difficult to handle.
That person called Lin Yi was indeed not to be trifled with.
It doesnt matter. Hes useless. We can still think of other ways. Haber thought for a moment and said.
We can attack Lingyun Group from an economic point of view. This is the most effective sanction.
Yang Tiannan and Zhao Fenghua looked at each other. The former asked,
Should we start with the semiconductor industry?
Yes, this is a very good breakthrough point, Haber replied slowly and confidently.
I will contact Sunrise Land, South Rania, and Jaewons semiconductorpanies to pressure them. I want them to pay the price for their arrogance!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Yang Tiannan nodded. Harpers words gave him some hope.
If there was international pressure, Lingyun Group would not be able tost until the end!
In the end, they would definitely be the ones topromise!
Ill have my secretary consolidate the information from Lingyun Groups side right now and try to find an appropriate entry point for negotiation.
Okay, go ahead.
Yang Tiannan called his secretary over and assigned the task.
Got it, President Yang. Ill go and consolidate Lingyun Groups information now, the secretary said.
But just now, Mitsui Group made an announcement about Lingyun Group.
What did they say? Yang Tiannan asked nonchntly.
He said that he wants to invest 48 billion yuan in a multidisciplinary in-depth partnership with Lingyun Group.
They want to partner with Lingyun Group?!
Hearing this news, Harper and the other two were stunned.
Mitsui Group was an important internationalpany.
To some extent, they represented the flow of international capital.
Now, they were the first to do such a thing. They were obviously standing up for Lingyun Group!
How powerful was Lin Yi to be able to do this?
Thats what Mitsui Group said. Judging from the details they released, I dont think this is fake news. Perhaps they really do want to cooperate.
The three of them fell silent. This news was like a blow to the head.
His peers were also amazed by Lin Yis ability.
It had only been a short while, but his side had already begun to deploy their forces.
Such terrifying business insight was enough to show that his strength could not be underestimated!
We know about this. Do as I say first. Investigate Lingyun Groups information. We cant let them do whatever they want!
Got it, President Yang.
The secretary nodded and left the office.
Mr. Harper, we have to react as soon as possible, Yang Tiannan said.
Lin Yi is clearly targeting us with his actions. If we donte up with a n quickly, our situation will be even more unfavorable.
Im aware of that.
Harper took out his phone, speaking seriously,
Ill call our contacts at Samsung and try to put some pressure on them in the semiconductor field.
Haber made a call and chatted with the other party for more than half an hour before hanging up with a smile.
What did they say? Zhao Fenghua asked.
They will cut off the screens and most of the hardware supply to Lingyun Group in the near future. Their cell phone business will soon be paralyzed. Thats great. Weve finally gotten back at them!
Dont be anxious. This is just the beginning. Ill give Jaewon Television a call to try to apply some pressure in the chip sector.
Harper picked up his phone and called the president of Jaewon Television, Zhang Zhongmou.
This time, they chatted for more than 40 minutes. From his expression, they should have gotten a good result.
Jaewon Television should be on board, right? Yang Tiannan asked.
Of course. Harper shrugged and said,
Weve reached a consensus to exert pressure in the semiconductor and chip sectors to further seize both domestic and international markets. Lingyun Group wont be able to hold on much longer.
Ill get someone to release this news now. With the pull of thesergepanies, I believe our stocks will recover very quickly.
Harper nodded and noted,
On this point, we can imitate the Lingyun Group and say that we are about to reach a deep partnership with these twopanies. I believe it will cause a huge fluctuation in the stock market. Our Te will eventually still be favored by international capital.
Alright, Ill make the arrangements now.
At this moment, both sides had alreadypleted the most basic arrangement of their forces.
What was left was the battle of wits and courage.
Who would have thestugh would all depend on how the subsequent cards were yed.
Lin Yi returned to his office after the meeting at Lingyun Group.
The game between the two sides had just begun and the situation had yet to stabilize. He had to stay here to support the morale of the army to prevent other unexpected situations from happening.
After returning to his office, Lin Yi received a call from Xiao Bing.
Brother Lin, well arrive at Zhonghai around 10 am tomorrow morning. Is that time convenient for you?
Its convenient. You cane whenever you want. Ill pick you up then.
Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Lin. I wont stand on ceremony with you.
After chatting with Xiao Bing for a while, Lin Yi hung up.
Then, he called Liang Jinming.
Brother Lin, what instructions do you have?
They knew about Lin Yis grudge against Te and had been waiting for Lin Yis call, ready to help at any time.
Its not a big deal. I have a few friendsing to Zhonghai. Theyre nning to organize a yacht party tomorrow. Ill leave this job to you.
Really? Will there be any pretty girls?
Their looks and figure are no problem, but dont have any ideas about them. You really cant handle them with your small physique.
F*ck, you cant mock me like that, Liang Jinming said, But I have something to ask.
What is it?
Can you think of a way to send President Ji away? For example, have her stay at her parents house for a few days. Ive been eyeing your swimming pool for a long time. If you have a swimsuit party there, it will be really exciting.
Dont even think about it. Unless something happens, theres no way she will return to her family. Its better to n something else.
Alright, leave this to me. Liang Jinming said.
How are things going with Te? Is there anything we can do to help?
Dont worry about that. Ive delegated the specifics to Yuanyuan. All you need to do is stick with me and talk big.
Understood, but if theres anything you need help with, just say it. Dont be shy.
Whats there to be shy about with you? Ill look for you if I need anything. Dont worry.
Then Ill hang up first. Call me if you need anything.
Okay.
After arranging the matters at hand, Lin Yi stretched.
It had been a long time since he had felt anything like this. It made him a little excited.
In the following period, many people sensed the conflict between the Lingyun Group and Te.
The direction of the stock market was also confusing.
Sometimes, the listedpanies under Lingyun Group would fall, but it would not be long before they rebounded.
Itwas the same for Te. The stocks rose and fell repeatedly.
Although it had not reached its peak, it had stabilized the situation.
Given these circumstances, many investors and venture capital firms, both domestic and international, found it difficult to discern the situation clearly.
Because neither party showed any signs of weakness.
At four oclock in the evening, the exchange closed. The covert and overt battles between the twopanies also approached their final stages.
Looking at the stock market on theputer, Lin Yi smiled.
The market is finally closed. The real show is about to begin.

Despite it being the time to clock out, for those ustomed to the 996 work schedule, this was just dinner time at the office.
Harper sat in the office, carefully analyzing the current situation.
There was a cup of coffee beside him that was still steaming. He crossed his legs and had a leisurely expression. He was no longer as flustered as he was during the day.
Mr. Harper, weve already stopped the decline. We have to think of a way to counterattack against Lingyun Group, Yang Tiannan said.
Theres no hurry. Harper waved his hand and said nonchntly,
My n has just begun to take effect. In a few days, Lingyun Group will know how much this incident will affect their share performance.
But from todays performance, Lingyun Group doesnt seem to be that flustered.
Theyre just struggling. Tomorrow, theyll see the stocks of their listedpanies fall drastically. In the next few days, theyll continue to fall. Theyve only pulled in Mitsui Group. Thats far from enough.
Hearing Harpers words, Yang Tiannan heaved a sigh of relief.
If that was the case, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Lin Yi and Lin Yi were finally going to pay for their arrogance.
Creak-
Just as the two of them were analyzing the situation, the office door was pushed open.
Zhao Fenghua rushed in without knocking.
Mr. Harper, bad news! Zhao Fenghua said hurriedly with a report in her hand.
Customs has dyed the clearance of our vehicles. Weve been stuck at the port for several hours!
How could that be?! Did they tell you the reason?
Haber and Yang Tiannan couldnt sit still anymore!
The specific reason wasnt mentioned, all the paperwork was in order, but it still didnt get cleared.
How can this be possible? This is clearly an official act! They shouldnt be involved in this matter! Haber said angrily.
Its not just our goods; even Samsung from Rania has experienced dyed customs clearance. Its definitely targeted action rted to this issue!
The atmosphere in the office instantly froze.
The two of them were a little anxious and did not even know what to do.
This was an official act. There was nothing they could do about it.
If this issue isnt resolved promptly, the import of car models as well as production materials will grind to a halt.
This was very disadvantageous to the current situation.
Most importantly, they have even halted Samsungs shipments.
This was even more bad news.
If Samsung fails to overturn the decision through protests, they might soon switch allegiances, and we would lose a crucial ally.
The situation would then be more favorable for Lingyun Group.
ng! ng! ng!
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door and Yang Tiannans secretary walked in.
Mr. Haber, President Yang, Lingyun Group has issued an announcement stating that their stock of smartphone screens is sufficient tost for six months, and after that, they n to switch to domestically produced screens. Our strategic positioning in this sector might already be ineffective.
Theyve stockpiled so much inventory!
In fact, the main point of this matter was not how much stock the Lingyun Group had.
Its that their inventory willst six months!
Because the tug-of-war between the two sides wasnt likely tost that long.
Even if they didnt use domestic screens, these six months were enough to survive this storm.
Just as the female secretary had said, his arrangement in this aspect had already lost its effect.
Coupled with the customs restrictions on Samsung products, thetter would definitely switch sides, and Tes advantage will significantly diminish.
I think I understand why the Lingyun Group made an announcement at this time, Yang Tiannan said with a pale face.
Lin Yi is giving the investors time to think. After a night of fermentation, our stocks might not be able to hold up when the market opens the next morning. ng! ng! ng!
There was another quick knock on the door, and the head of the financial sector jogged in.
Mr. Harper, Mr. Yang, the Intel Fund just released an announcement saying that they want to invest two billion USD to build a chip researchboratory with Lingyun Group.
How is this possible?!
Hearing this explosive news, the people in the office could not sit still.
No matter what, they could ept what had happened in the country. After all, this was the home ground of Lingyun Group.
However, he did not expect the overseas capital giants to be involved at this time!
Moreover, it was one of the top five funds in Meiguo!
To them, this was devastating news.
ng! ng! ng!
There was another knock on the door, and the people in the office shivered.
They were already afraid of hearing this sound.
This was because the news it carried might also be bad.
This time, it was Zhao Fenghuas secretary.
Mr. Harper, Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhao, Lingyun Group has announced theirtest technology in chips. They said that they have sessfully developed a three- nanometer chip in theboratory. In the future, they might reduce the price of five-nanometer chips.
Apart from that, they also spread the word that they want to independently set up apany for the lithography machinesboratory. They also said that they want to go public within three years.
The lithography machinepany is going public!
This news exploded in everyones heads like a nuclear weapon.
They knew very well what a photolithography machine was.
Once such apany went public, it would definitely be favored by the capital of the world.
Lingyun Group would be the darling of all the capitalists in the world!
Zhao Fenghuas secretary saw that everyone in the office had an ugly expression on their faces. She paused and probed.
Director Zhao, I have another piece of news.
Tell me, dont hesitate.
Zhao Fenghua felt like he had given up.
At this point, there was really no need to hide.
In addition to the above news, the Lingyun Group has also announced that they will jointly develop an electric car with Mitsui Groups Toyota in the future.
This news was thest straw for everyone present.
Lingyun Group was announcing that they were dering war on Te.
Harper sat on the chair weakly. He originally thought that he would be the winner of this game, but he did not expect that Lingyun Groups next moves were all behind!
Even if he found Samsung and TV, it might not be of any use.
One move to dy clearance and reduce the price of the chip was enough to make them change sides.
He even had a premonition that when the stock market opened tomorrow, the share price would plummet!
At this moment, Harper panicked.
He finally understood how terrifying that man called Lin Yi was!

The next morning, because he had to pick up Xiao Bing and the others, Lin Yi called Li Xianghui and asked for a day off.
Li Xianghui was also very straightforward and approved it in minutes.
They didnt say much. After all, they were flexible in their work. When there were no cases, their subordinates basically acted like freeloaders.
After applying for leave, Lin Yi drove the car and prepared to send Ji Qingyan to thepany before going back to work.
Hows the matter with Te going? She asked on the way to thepany.
You can look at the stock market. The investors will give you an answer.
If you can say that, you must be very confident. 1 wont worry anymore.
The two of them chatted for a while more about Te before arriving at thepany.
However, Lin Yi was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he stayed in Ji Qingyans office and watched the stock market for a while.
As he had expected, Tes share price continued to fall as soon as it opened. There were no signs of a rebound.
On the other hand, Lingyun Groups stocks continued to rise, and the situation was good.
Seeing this trend, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan boldly predicted that Tes share price would fall to the limit down? before noon. It could be considered a victory in the first battle.
At nine oclock, Lin Yi left in his car. He ordered the people at the racetrack to drive all his supercars to the airport to pick up Xiao Bing and the others.
Soon, Lin Yi saw Xiao Bing at the exit of the terminal.
At the front were the three women from the team.
Other than Xiao Bing and Luo Qi, the remaining girl was called Yu Siying. She was also the most skilled among the three of them, and her level was second only to Sui Qiang.
The remaining five boys followed the three of them.
They were carrying several suitcases in their hands. Other than their own, they were likely carrying the three girlss luggages as well. They could be considered gentlemen.
Brother Lin.
When they saw Lin Yi, Xiao Bing waved her hands non-stop. The eight of them quickened their pace and walked towards Lin Yi.
Brother Lin.
Team Leader Lin.
There was no distance between the girls and Lin Yi, so they used very friendly terms.
The boys were a little reserved. When they saw Lin Yi, they were very polite and called him Team Leader Lin.
Its fine. Why are you guys all together?
Theres nothing much to do. The Central Guards Brigade arranged for us to study and train together. We had nothing to do, so we went overseas for a walk. We called you before we returned and prepared to walk around you before leaving.
Lets go. Ive arranged everything. Ill show you around Zhonghai.
Then we wont stand on ceremony. Were going to eat a lot today, Xiao Bing said with a smile.
Lets go. The cars outside.
Lin Yi called out to the eight of them and walked out of the terminal.
However, when they walked out of the door, the eight of them were stunned.
There were nine sports cars parked not far away.
Almost all the top sports car brands in the world were gathered, and they were all gship models. The cheapest ones sold for more than 10 million yuan.
The one in the front, La Voiture Noire, which was worth 120 million, made Xiao Bing and the others drool.
Brother Lin, this lineup is too luxurious. These cars add up to more than 300 million.
Something like that. One for each of us. You can pick whichever car you want.
I want to drive the La Voiture Noire. Luo Qi didnt stand on ceremony and chose the best car.
I dont mind, but it depends on your hand speed.
I dont really care, but it depends on how fast your hands can move.
If its about speed, us innocent beauties cantpete with Qi Qi, the seasoned pro.
Hey, Im very pure, okay? Dont talk about those weird things. Im only 16, not even an adult yet.
Sister, have some shame, will you? Youre already a D-cup, and you still say youre not 16?
Luo Qi purposely puffed out her chest, Cant help it, who made me so talented?
Hey, hey, hey, Sister Yu, its one thing for Luo Qi to puff out her chest, but why are you doing it too? Youre only a B-cup. The male team member, Zhang Chaoyue, said.
Tsk, Im different from them, Yu Siying said proudly.
I came to Team 1 through my own abilities. The two of them got in through the back door.
Im not happy when you say that. Luo Qi put his hands on her small waist and said.
No one has evere through my front door, let alone the back door.
You both know whats in your hearts, Yu Siying said smugly.
Hey, some people might not always remain in E-ss, but others will forever be a B-cup, Xiao Bing remarked.
Damn!
The two of you are being too immoral. Dont force Sister Yu to rely on high-tech abilities. Two slices of silicone will kill the two of you in minutes. No matter how good the silicone is, its not as good as ours. If you dont believe me, ask Brother Lin. He has the most say.
Sigh, dont spout nonsense. Ive never touched anyone. Dont nder my reputation.
This is a small matter. Lets find a ceter and Ill let you try. Luo Qi winked.
Lets not talk about this topic anymore. Give your Sister Yu some face.
Yu Siying,
Everyoneughed as Lin Yi took out his car keys.
Take your pick.
Luo Qi did not stand on ceremony. He grabbed the La Voiture Noires car key and prepared to experience the performance of this hypercar.
After distributing the car keys, everyone walked towards the parking lot.
At the same time, arge group of people surrounded the nine super sports cars. There were men and women, and they kept taking photos with their phones.
Brother Lin, your car is being watched, Luo Qi said.
Theres no hurry. Lets go take a look first.
Lin Yi and the others dragged their luggage and walked towards their car with interest.
In front of La Voiture Noire was a coquettish woman who was continuously posing. Someone stood in front of her with his phone out, taking photos and videos of her.
Meanwhile, the woman, unting herself, continued to awkwardly recite her online script.
Dont choose stability when you should be working hard. Mountains can copse, and people can flee. Women must have their own careers. However, the live streaming industry is treacherous, and you might not endure it, but if there are family members out there wanting to start a business, please give me some attention. In tonights live stream, Ive prepared fifty thousand smartphones for a giveaway and will reveal why I was able to buy the 120 million La Voiture Noire entirely in cash within just half a year.
Hearing the womans words, Lin Yi and others felt a bit embarrassed, leaning on a small motorcycle nearby, smiling as they were watching a performance.
But just then, the man taking the recording turned back and shouted at Lin Yi.
What are you doing, who allowed you to lean on my bike?!
Is this your bike?
Could it be yours? The mans arrogance red as he yelled at Lin Yi,
Stay away from my bike, I bought it for over ten thousand yuan. A bunch of lousy workers like you couldnt afford to pay for damages if you break it.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi and the others werent angry. They distanced themselves from the motorcycle.
The man in charge of recording turned around and said to the woman in front of him,
Get ready. Its rare for us to see such a good car. Lets try to shoot dozens of cars. Well get some good clips for the future.
Im ready to shoot now.
Alright, 3, 2,1 begin!
Dear family, men are unreliable. I just went through a divorce agreement with my husband. To let him have it all, I chose to take nothing, leaving him my vi and the nine supercars behind me. Now, Im penniless and hope all my dear followers will join my live stream at 8 PM. I want to give onest round of giveaways, only 9.99 with free shipping.
Can you two give it a rest? Dont you realize youre in the way here? Lin Yi said:
Seriously, Im embarrassed for both of you. It would take a brain aneurysmsting three years toe up with such a script.
Well say whatever we want to say, what business is it of yours? The man handling the camera retorted loudly.
Whats the matter? Cant handle a couple ofments? Grab your stuff and get lost!
Piack!
Sui Qiang raised his hand and pped his face.
The man in charge of filming fell to the ground. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and even his teeth seemed to have been knocked out.
Watch your f*cking mouth, or youll get into trouble.
The man in charge of filming was stunned. His phone had fallen to the ground and the screen shattered. He covered his face and pointed at Sui Qiang as he scolded,
How dare you hit me? Ill call the police now!
Suit yourself.
After saying that, the few of them pressed their car keys and loaded their luggage into the cars.
These, these cars belong to you?
What do you think?
Luo Qi looked back at the man who had been beaten to the ground.
What else? I let you shoot your video here and you still dont appreciate it. Learn your lesson for the future and dont look down on others with those dog eyes.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
They originally thought that the people in front of them were from overseas.
They never expected these cars to be theirs.
Under the crowds watchful eyes, they drove away.
Lin Yi led the way and drove toward Moon Bay Beach.
About an hourter, nine sports cars parked neatly on the highway beside the beach in Moon Bay.
They got out of the car one after another. Lin Yi said,
Lets y here for a while. Ill take you out to seater.
Luo Qi pointed at the Wangjiang Dock not far away. Theres a big ship over there. I think its quite good. Can we take that ship?
Thats the boat I picked. Its been prepared for you guys.
Ive made Brother Lin spend a lot of money, Luo Qi said with a smile.
Whats there to spend? That dock is mine too. Im the one who decides which boat to take.
Everyone was shocked.
I cant believe you have a dock!
All of you are rich. Its just a pier. Is there a need to be so surprised?
Its mainly because yourpany is in the semiconductor industry. It has little to do with the docks.
I dont rely on it to make money. Its just a ce for leisure and entertainment. In the future, bring your friends to Zhonghai and mention my name. When the timees, you wont have to spend money. You can choose any boat you want.
Ill remember what you said. I wont hold back next team.
Were all on the same side. Theres no need to stand on ceremony. Lin Yi smiled.
Lets go. Everything is ready. Lets go to the beach and y for a while.
Sure thing.
Before they came over, Qin Han and the other two had already prepared the ce.
They even gathered many young hunks and inte celebrity models. As usual, they were all very attractive.
Xiao Bing and Luo Qi smiled at Lin Yi.
Brother Lin, you know us well. You know that we like this.
Youre all my team members, so I naturally have to get to know you.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Brother Lin really knows how to live.
After everyone arrived, Lin Yi introduced them briefly so that everyone became familiar with each other.
Meanwhile, his three friends were a little surprised.
The eight people Lin Yi brought with him werent simple.
The lowest worth was more than ten billion yuan, and their family backgrounds were also quite impressive.
Xiao Bing, Luo Qi, and Yu Siying were not stingy with their good figures. They soon changed into bikini swimsuits, which were quite eye-catching.
After ying on the beach for a while, everyone got onto the yacht. The party was about to officially begin.
The people on the ship were all open-minded. After all, they were all children of rich families. They were brazen as they had fun, quickly making the scene very lively.
At seven oclock in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared over the horizon.
With that, the tour wasing to an end.
Lin Yi arranged a table at the Penins Hotel to wee Xiao Bing and the others and for them to stay there for the night.
Were almost done. Ive booked a ce. Lets eat first. Ill bring you guys to continue ying tomorrow.
The few of us shouldnt just eat amongst ourselves. Call Sister-inw out too. Its been so long, but we havent seen what Sister-inw looks like. Zhang Chaoyue jeered.
Yes, yes, yes. Call Sister-inw over too. Lets have a meal together, Xiao Bing said.
Brother Lin, dont worry. We definitely wont spout nonsense. We wont tell her know about things that she shouldnt know.
What are you talking about? You make me sound like a scumbag.
If youre not a scumbag, then were pure primary school students, Liang Jinming said.
Damn, among all these people, you have the least right to talk about me, Lin Yi said.
I admit that Im a scumbag, but I didnt askyou to learn from me, Liang Jinming said shamelessly.
But youre all scum. If I didnt match your energy, wouldnt I have long been left behind?
F*ck, what kind of twisted logic is this?
Brother Lin, stop dilly-dallying. Call Sister-inw quickly.
I can invite her, but no one can reveal a word about your identities.
Roger that, Ill keep my mouth shut!
Lin Yi took out his phone and dialed Ji Qingyans number.
Are you done?
Ji Qingyan knew that Lin Yi was entertaining a friend, so she went home by herself that night.
Were almost done. Were going to eat. If you have nothing else to do,e over. They all want to see you.
Huh? They want to see me?
Ji Qingyan was a little flustered. I dont think its a good idea for me to attend your gathering.
Why not? Were all on the same side. Were heading there now. Well be there in about 40 minutes. If you have nothing to do,e over.
Oh, okay.
After hanging up, Lin Yi said to the others, Its done. Lets go eat first.
Half an hourter, the cars arrived at the Penins Hotel. Everyone took their seats in the private room.
Im going to see my sister-inw soon. Im a little excited, Xiao Bing said.
Were not even that excited, so why are you, a woman, so eager? The male member, Zhou Liang, said.
Im just curious about what kind of woman is worthy of my Brother Lin.
Chapter 1753: Despicable Methods
Chapter 1753: Despicable Methods
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
If you hadnt said anything, I really wouldnt have thought of that. Zhou Liang said.
Im also a little curious. What does Sister-inw look like?
Its not that Im ttering Brother Lin, but I feel that no woman in this world is worthy of him. Hes too good-looking, Luo Qi said.
Thats why Im curious. How good-looking must a woman be to make Brother Lin fall head over heels for her?
Pfft
Qin Han, who was sitting at the side, couldnt help butugh.
If Lin Yi was so loyal, wouldnt he be considered a peerless man?
Brother Qin, what are youughing at? Did I say something wrong?
No, no, no. Qin Han suppressed hisughter and said,
Youll know what your sister-inw looks liketer.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open and Ji Qingyan walked in.
Ji Qingyans attire was breathtaking enough.
She wore a ck and gray color-blocked tailcoat dress paired with a white three-quarter sleeve blouse. Her cascading long hair was styled up, revealing her sleek, jade neck adorned with a diamond ne. Thisbination made her glow as if radiating light.
It highlighted her beauty and elegance vividly.
Xiao Bing, Yu Siying, and the others were stunned.
Astonished by Ji Qingyans beauty and figure, even women like them felt a little ashamed.
She was like a perfect work of art without any ws.
Hello, Sister-inw.
Xiao Bing and the others stood up to greet her.
Facing such a lineup, Ji Qingyan was a little ufortable.
She would often be called sister-inw when she returned to the orphanage.
However, most of the people who called her that were children.
Meanwhile, this was a group of youth, so it took some getting used to.
Theres no need to stand on ceremony, everyone. Quick, take a seat. Ji Qingyan hurriedly greeted them, afraid that she would not be able to treat them appropriately.
Everyone took their seats, and Ji Qingyan sat next to Lin Yi.
Qin Han smiled at Xiao Bing and the others. Now that youve seen her in person, how do you feel?
I feel that my Brother Lin is not worthy of Sister-inw.
Hey, hey, hey. You were just saying that she wasnt worthy of me, but you actually betrayed me so quickly.
Dont try to frame me. I didnt say anything like that, Xiao Bing said.
With Sister-inws looks and figure, she easily satisfies your requirements.
Ji Qingyan had a smile on her face, and there was a hint of smugness on her face.
Every time she heard others say this, she was very happy.
Alright, alright. Lets not talk about this anymore. You must be hungry. Hurry up and order. Ill arrange a good meal for you today.
Dont worry, I wont stand on ceremony with you.
Xiao Bing and the others didnt hold back on Lin Yi. They all picked the expensive dishes without any hesitation.
Because there were no outsiders amongst them, the atmosphere at the banquet was very cheerful.
Although they were all drunk, Xiao Bing and the others were still lucid. They didnt say anything about their identities.
As for Sui Qiang and the others, they simply called him Boss. It would have been too distant to call him Team Leader.
At around 11 p.m., after going through three rounds of drinks and five different dishes, everyone had their fill. The next stop would be the old reliable.
Nightclub!
Although Ji Qingyan disliked Lin Yi visiting ces like this, she did not say anything because her friends were around. However, she did not y with them.
Lin Yi sent her to her parents house, then returned to Metropolis to have a party.
The few of them were all rich children and were very open-minded.
It was not until four in the morning that they felt a little tired and returned to the hotel to rest.
They would probably spend the day sleeping. If they wanted to go out and continue having fun, it would probably be in the next afternoon.
Ring ring ring!
At eight in the morning, Lin Yi was woken up by the ringing of his phone.
He initially thought that it was a call from Ji Qingyan, but after taking a look, he realized that it was an unknown number.
Hello?
Officer Lin, this is Yang Bing.
Hearing Yang Bings voice, Lin Yi sobered up quickly. He didnt expect her to call him at this time.
Can I help you?
Someone called me yesterday and tried to threaten me into dropping thewsuit. Yang Bing cried.
He also told me that if I didnt withdraw thewsuit, my life would be thrust into chaos.
Did that really happen?
Its true. Yang Bing said.
I didnt think much of it at first, but this morning, when I was nning to go to the shop, I realized that someone had sshed red paint on my front door. Im afraid to go out now, so I called you.
Dont panic yet. Tell me your home address and Ill go look for you.
Shengshi Resting Stage Two, Block 16, Unit 3,1701.
Wait for me at home. Dont open the door for anyone but me.
Okay, I got it.
After hanging up, Lin Yi washed up and drove towards Yang Bings house.
In less than an hour, Lin Yi drove over and found the exact address.
Lin Yi was in no hurry to call Yang Bing. He stood at the door and investigated.
The security door and the shoe rack at the door were sshed with red paint, giving them a bloody look.
Even a man might be afraid of such a scene, let alone a woman like her.
It didnt take a genius to figure out that Te had hired someone to do this.
Based on the current situation, Te had no way out.
Yang Bing was their only option.
If she decided to drop the case and put in a few good words, they would have some room to maneuver, and they could cut their losses in time.
Their approach was indeed a little despicable, but it was undoubtedly very effective.
Lin Yi took his phone and called Yang Bing.
Open the door. Im right outside.
Okay, okay, okay. Ill open the door for you now.
Footsteps came from inside the house, and the door was quickly opened.
Lin Yi saw that Yang Bing was already dressed.
She was wearing a pair of ck one-piece wide-legged pants. Her hair was tied up, disying the elegance of a young woman.
However, her eyes were a little red, ruining her beauty.
After weing Lin Yi in, Yang Bing couldnt help but hug him and cry.
If you hadnte, I wouldnt have known what to do.
Dont be like this. Men and women shouldnt touch each other. Lin Yi raised his arm. Yang Bings assets werent small and they were soft, but Lin Yi wasnt in the mood to enjoy it.
Yang Bing was a little embarrassed. Her face was a little red as she distanced herself from Lin Yi.
Im really sorry. I was too excited just now.
Yang Bing brought Lin Yi a pair of slippers.
Officer Lin,e in.
Lin Yi looked around and saw that Yang Bings house wasnt small. It measured at least 150 square meters.
Having a house like this in Zhonghai put her above 90% of people.
Lin Yi sat on the sofa as Yang Bing poured him a ss of water.
You dont have to be so polite. Tell me what happened.
Yesterday, someone suddenly called me and asked me to withdraw thewsuit. He also said that if he didnt receive any news of thewsuit being withdrawn at ten oclock today, he woulde looking for me.

These people from Te are quite bold.
Lin Yi muttered. He felt that Te was getting a little desperate now.
No matter the circumstances, theyre a well-knownpany. I really didnt
expect them to do something so underhanded.
Its okay. Ill handle this for you.
Lin Yi felt that he had to bear arge part of the responsibility for this matter.
Tes people wouldnt have done this if he hadnt pushed them so far.
This was a very dangerous situation for apany.
However, this incident showed that Te was at their wits end in the face of a steep drop in stock price. Otherwise, they would not have used such a method.
After all, everyone cared about their reputation.
Thank you, Officer Lin. If you hadnte, I really wouldnt know what to
do. Yang Bing wiped her tears and said with red eyes.
Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was half past nine, and the other partys ultimatum had a deadline of ten oclock. Thus, they would be there soon.
Its a small matter. Im in charge of this case. Since something like this has
happened, I naturally have to take responsibility.
Do you want to call your colleagues?
Theres no need. I can do it alone.
Yang Bing nodded. With Lin Yi here, she felt much more at ease and was no longer as afraid as before.
Im really sorry to call you over so early in the morning. Yang Bing said apologetically, Have you eaten this morning? Ill make you something. Dont bother. Ill just go out and eat after Im done here.
Why bother going out? I have some buns at home. I made themst night. Ill heat them up for you.
Lin Yi wanted to refuse, but he couldnt resist Yang Bings enthusiasm, so he didnt say anything else.
It had to be said that the young woman really knew how to dote on others.
It was no wonder that so many people liked someone like her sister. She certainly had her advantages.
Soon, Yang Bing heated up a few buns, two herbal eggs, and a cup of soy milk for Lin Yi.
Although it was a little simple, if Lin Yi went out to eat by himself, he would probably order something simr for breakfast.
Are you the only one at home?
Yang Bingbed her hair and subconsciously looked at Lin Yi. She whispered, My husband is out on a business trip. He onlyes back a few times a year. While speaking, Yang Bing thoughtfully passed Lin Yi an egg.
Lin Yis lips twitched slightly, feeling that this wasnt really about handling a case, but more like a gentle teasing.
It was quite exciting to think about it.
After hurriedly finishing her breakfast, Yang Bing tidied up her things. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Yang Bing panicked and quickly ran back to Lin Yi.
Dont worry, Ill go over and take a look.
Lin Yi stood up and walked straight to the door, but he didnt open it
immediately. Instead, he looked through the peephole.
Surprisingly, there was no one outside.
Lin Yi put his hand on the doorknob and gently opened the door.
At that moment, four figures rushed out from the corners of the corridor and stood in front of Lin Yi.
Oh my, theres a man in the house.
The man in the lead had short hair and was in his thirties. His skin was bronze and his eyes were bright, giving off a mature and shrewd aura.
Are you guys here to cause trouble? Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.
Cut the cr*p!
The short-haired man pushed Lin Yi into the house.
At this moment, Yang Bing also saw the four people who came in. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stood on the balcony and did not dare to move.
The few people who came in ignored Lin Yi.
The short-haired man looked at Yang Bing and said expressionlessly,
Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday? Or do you think you can stand up to us with a man by your side?
As he spoke, the short-haired man took out a folding knife from his pocket and walked towards Yang Bing.
Im still here. You guys are not taking me seriously, Lin Yi said slowly.
The short-haired man, who was about to make a move, looked back at Lin Yi and sized him up for a while.
Why? Do you still want to stand up for her? Arent you afraid of death?
Im afraid of death, but I am still going to stand up for her.
Heh
The short-haired man sneered and said to the three subordinates behind him, Ill leave this man to you. Teach him how to behave and let him know the price of being a bad person.
Okay!
The three of them walked towards Lin Yi and surrounded him with mocking gazes.
Brother, this has nothing to do with you. Dont go looking for trouble. Its not your turn to save the damsel in distress. If you know whats good for you, get lost quickly. It wont be good if we hurt you.
Lin Yi didnt say anything. He raised his leg and kicked the person who spoke. Alt!
Thetter could not react in time. He screamed and flew backward, hitting the door behind him with a muffled sound.
Big Cat!
The two of them didnt dare to attack Lin Yi anymore and ran towards theirpanion immediately.
None of them had expected this man to make the first move.
Including the short-haired man from before. Lin Yis actions were far beyond his expectations.
I really didnt expect you to be a martial arts practitioner. You have some skills.
I dont have time to talk nonsense with you. Answer whatever I am about to ask you, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Are you threatening me?
The short-haired man held the dagger and smiled as he walked towards Lin Yi.
Do you really think I grew up scared? Now that Im ready to fight, youre going to soil yourself in fear!
As soon as he finished speaking, the short-haired man suddenly sped up and stabbed at Lin Yi with the dagger in his hand!
However, Lin Yi was even faster. He dodged his attack with just a sidestep.
Then, Lin Yis right handshed out to grab the short-haired mans wrist, twisting it downward!
All!
With another scream, the short-haired man couldnt withstand the pain in his hand and dropped the dagger. Lin Yi quickly caught the dagger and stabbed in the opposite direction!
You!
The short-haired man clutched his wound and stumbled to the ground. Blood drenched his clothes and flowed onto the floor of the room!
Everyone in the room stared at Lin Yi.
They felt an unprecedented fear when looking at him.
Lin Yi threw the dagger into the trash can and sat on the chair next to the dining table.
Dont worry, I know my limits. You wont die yet.
The short-haired man gritted his teeth with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Kid, youre in trouble. Were Master Weis men. If you dare to ruin Master
Weis ns, you wont have a good time in the future!
Master Wei? Lin Yi muttered. The name sounded familiar.
A few days ago, Chaoyang Group had a project. The person who had caused trouble for her also seemed to have been sent by this person.
Although it had been a long time, Lin Yi still had some impression of him.
Are you talking about Wei Yihua?
Chapter 1755: The Final Curtain
Chapter 1755: The Final Curtain
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Heh
The short-haired man sneered. You know quite a lot. Since you know who Master Wei is, you should know what will happen to you now!
Whoosh!
Lin Yi didnt waste any time and kicked the short-haired man.
Who does he think he is? Call him now. Lets see if he dares to act tough in front of me.
The short-haired mans eyes widened.
You ignorant thing. How dare you nder Master Wei behind his back? Let me tell you, youre finished. If Master Wei finds out about this, hell definitely kill you!
Ill wait. Ill call him now and see how he kills me. Ill also tell him that Im Lin Yi.
The short-haired man didnt say anything else. He took his phone and called Wei Yihua.
Master Wei, Im Little Fifth.
Is everything done? Wei Yihua asked in a low voice.
Were in trouble. That woman called Yang Bing found a helper called Lin Yi and beat us all up. The guy even stabbed me. The short-haired man bared his teeth.
What did you say? You met President Lin?!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyones eyesnded on the short- haired man.
Wei Yihuas tone and attitude surprised them. This was very different from what they had expected.
I-I dont know who he is. He only said that his name is Lin Yi. He spoke very arrogantly and didnt take you seriously at all.
Wei Yihua ignored the short-haired man and probed,
President Lin, are you there?
Im here. If you have something to say, say it quickly.
President Lin, calm down. This is our fault. I didnt know that she was your woman. If I had known in advance, I wouldnt have dared to do such a thing even if I had a hundred guts!
The hearts of those who heard this thumped like thunder.
Master Weis name was well-known in Zhonghai, and it was even said that he had taken the top spot.
However, they never expected him to speak so respectfully in front of this man!
Wei Yihua, youre quite bold. Do you think that you can take on any job now that your wings have hardened? Or do you think that no one in Zhonghai can suppress you?
No, no, no. Thats not what I meant. President Lin, please calm down.
Wei Yihua hurriedly exined, as if he was scared out of his wits.
I have a rtionship with the President of Te. He reached out to me and offered me a lot of benefits. I had no choice. After all, my brothers still have to eat. I hope President Lin wont hold this against me. Ill forego this matter immediately.
You still have the cheek to mention this? Lin Yi cursed.
Do you not know about what has been happening at Te recently? You dare to take their money?
Yes, yes, yes. This is my fault. President Lin, please give me another chance. I wont dare to earn such dirty money again.
Wei Yihua, Im giving you onest chance. If you dare to do such a thing again, Ill make you disappear from Zhonghai.
I understand. Thank you, President Lin, for giving me a chance. I wont dare to do it again.
After saying that, Wei Yihuas tone changed. He no longer behaved like a coward as he shouted at the short-haired man,
Apologize to President Lin quickly and leave their house.
I got it, I got it, Master Wei.
The short-haired mans heart almost jumped out of his throat.
In his heart, Wei Yihua was a supreme existence.
Even the local tyrants of Zhonghai did not dare to provoke him.
He had never thought that one day, his boss would actually grovel and speak to someone like this!
At this moment, he felt that his worldview had been overturned.
President Lin, this is my fault. When are you free? Can you give me a chance to apologize?
Theres no need to go through so much trouble, but theres something I need you to do.
If theres anything you need, President Lin, just tell me. As long as I, Wei Yihua, can do it, I wont hesitate.
The person who contacted you should be Yang Tiannan.
Thats him. He asked me to look for Yang Bing and think of a way to get her to drop thewsuit.
Do you still have the phone records? Are there any recordings?
There are no recordings, but I have a few chat records that can prove that he asked me to do this.
Ill shoot you an emailter. Send me all these items. I need you to send someone to stand up and testify. All of this should be fine, right?
Theres definitely not a problem. Ill do whatever you tell me to do.
Alright, then you can leave it at that. Lets not talk about it anymore.
Okay, I wont disturb President Lin anymore.
Wei Yihua didnt dare to waste Lin Yis time and hung up.
The room fell into a long silence.
The short-haired man was helped up and bowed to Lin Yi repeatedly to apologize.
President Lin, we understand we were wrong. We wont dare to do it again. I hope you can let us go.
Clean up the blood in the house and the door. Also, send your boss my email.
Alright, I understand.
With that, Lin Yi sent his email to the short-haired man and asked him to pass it to Wei Yihua.
In Lin Yis opinion, this might be thest straw that would crush Te.
The short-haired man was injured and was sent to the hospital by one of his men.
The other two stayed behind to clean up the battlefield. They found a rag and wiped the blood off the ground.
Before they left, they also said that they would get someone to clean up the paint outside the door. They did not dare to be rash again.
After the problem was resolved, only Lin Yi and Yang Bing were left in the room.
However, thetters gaze had been continuously sizing up Lin Yi with curiosity.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Officer Lin, are you really a police officer? Why did they talk to you in such a tone and call you President Lin?
That is my other identity. Pay it no mind. Lin Yi said.
Now that the matter here has been resolved, no one wille causing trouble with you in the future. Work hard.
Officer Lin.
Just as Lin Yi was about to turn around and leave, Yang Bing stopped him from behind.
Is there anything else?
Yang Bingbed her hair. Are you free tonight? I want to treat you to a meal. Youve helped me so much, so let me thank you.
This is what I should do. Dont take it to heart. Ill be leaving.
Lin Yi didnt act on Yang Bings invitation and turned to leave.
Otherwise, what followed would be another erotic story.
After leaving Yang Bings house, Lin Yi drove back to the hotel and prepared to meet up with Xiao Bing and the others.
Meanwhile, all of Tes executives had just ended a two-hour meeting.
The content of the meeting was to discuss how to salvage the current situation.
After walking out of the meeting room, Harper looked at Yang Tiannan and said,
How are the arrangements on your side? The current situation is very disadvantageous to us. We cant afford any more mishaps.
Chapter 1756: Peace Talks
Chapter 1756: Peace Talks
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Mr. Harper, dont worry. Ive already made arrangements for this. With our partners influence in Zhonghai, it wont be difficult for him to handle such a matter.
As he spoke, Yang Tiannan looked at his watch and continued,
I gave him a deadline of ten in the morning and its almost noon now. I think he should be almost done over there. Ill call and askter.
Harper nodded in satisfaction. This is our only option. As long as she decides to withdraw thewsuit, we might be able to get out of this.
I know that. Thats why I was very careful when arranging this matter. I didnt look for some random guy. Instead, I went straight to Wei Yihua. There definitely wont be a problem with this.
Im d to hear it.
As they spoke, the two of them returned to the office and prepared to eat lunch before dealing with the other matters in the afternoon.
At that moment, Yang Tiannans secretary rushed in, forgetting to knock on the door.
President Yang, its not good. Its been leaked on the Inte that we sent someone to threaten Yang Bing into withdrawing thewsuit. This matter has already caused an uproar.
How is that possible?!
Its true. The suspect also admitted to his actions. He said that you instructed him to do so and even revealed screenshots of his chat history.
Give it to me.
The secretary handed her phone to Yang Tiannan.
When he saw the contents of the video, Yang Tiannan staggered and almost fainted.
Because on the screen was a screenshot of his chat record with Wei Yihua!
How could this be?! Yang Tiannans eyes were wide open. He was so excited that even his body was trembling uncontrobly.
I-I dont know either!
At this moment, Harper walked past and saw the contents of the chat log. His expression was extremely ugly.
I hope you can give me an exnation! What the hell were you doing?!
I didnt know this would happen!
I think youre no longer qualified to be the president of the Terra-Pakcik region. Ill report this to the head office. Youd better be mentally prepared.
Mr. Harper, please give me another chance.
Look at the current situation. Do we still have any chances left to give? Because of your stupid actions, Te has no way out. You caused all of this. You have to take responsibility!
But even if I resign, this matter wont be resolved.
Harper sat on the chair helplessly. Ive decided to talk to him again. If this continues, wellpletely lose the Huaxia market.
When he returned to the hotel, it was already noon.
Lin Yi looked around the room and found that all of his team members were sleeping. None of them were up.
Lin Yi did not disturb them. He turned around and went to Ji Qingyanspany, preparing to have lunch with her.
Knowing that Lin Yi wasing, Ji Qingyan did not eat and waited for him toe over to eat with her.
When Lin Yi arrived at the office, Ji Qingyan had already prepared lunch and two sses of juice.
What were you busy with this morning? I sent you a WeChat message but you didnt reply.
I heard of someone who was being threatened by thugs hired by Te, so I went over to take care of it.
During dinner, Lin Yi briefly exined what had happened to Ji Qingyan.
After what youve done, I dont think Te will be able to survive. At the very least, I cant think of a way out for them.
Actually, I didnt expect them to threaten the person involved. These people are really desperate.
Thats right. I think their management is too arrogant, Ji Qingyan said.
This is Huaxia, yet they even dare to do such a thing. We should teach them a lesson this time. We cant let them go so easily.
Thats for sure. At this point, even if they dont die, we have to make them suffer. Lin Yi said.
Lets see how they deal with thister. I hope they canst a little longer. Its been a long time since Ive met such an interesting opponent.
I dont think theres anything they can do.
Ji Qingyan picked up a piece of vegetable and said as she ate,
Maybe hell call youter to negotiate.
Who cares? If I can really destroy them, Ill be considered a national hero.
Thats right, hehe.
Ring ring ring!
Just as the two of them were chatting andughing, Lin Yis phone rang. It was an unknown number.
Lin Yi turned on the loudspeaker and ced it on the table.
Hello, President Lin. Im Harper, the global vice president of Te.
After the other party introduced himself, Ji Qingyan also stopped what she was doing. She wanted to know what the other party was up to.
If you have something to say, just say it. Dont waste my time, Lin Yi replied calmly.
We apologize for what happened in the Huaxia market recently. We hope to have a chat with you. When are you free?
What else is there to talk about? Didnt we finish talking before this? Lin Yi said.
What tricks do you have up your sleeve? Hurry up and reveal them. Im waiting.
President Lin, please dont say that. We came to Huaxia to do business with integrity. We realized our shorings in this matter and want to talk to you about this.
Im in the presidents office of Chaoyang Group. If you want to talk to me,e over now.
Alright, Ille look for you now.
After Lin Yi hung up, a smile appeared on Ji Qingyans face.
Look at that. Theyre at their wits end. Theyll definitely try to make peace.
President Ji, youre amazing. Im impressed.
Ji Qingyan held her head high as her hair swayed back and forth, brimming with youthful vigor and vitality.
Lets eat quickly. Theyll be here soon. It wont be good if they see us like this.
Whats there to be afraid of? Compared to meeting him, I think eating with you is more important, so I have to chew carefully and swallow slowly.
You always know the right things to say to tease me, Ji Qingyan said gently:
Its not about importance, but about basic business etiquette. We already have the upper hand, so we should show good grace and demonstrate the dignity and spirit of Huaxian entrepreneurs.
Youre right, President Ji. Ive learned something.
The two quickened their pace, finishing their meal in less than twenty minutes.
About half an hourter, the secretary knocked on the door.
President Ji, President Lin, the vice president of Te is here.
Let him in, Lin Yi said lightly.
Okay.
After the secretary left, Harper and his secretary walked in from outside.
President Lin, we meet again.
Harper was much more enthusiastic seeing Lin Yi again.
However, Lin Yi only shook his hand briefly and did not show much warmth.
I wonder, what do you want to talk to me about this time? I dont think theres anything left for us to talk about..
Chapter 1757: You’re Too Bad
Chapter 1757: Youre Too Bad
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
President Lin, dont say that. Harper gestured as he said,
We reflected on our previous actions and also did a self-check on thepanys cars. We discovered many problems. We decided to recall all the problematic cars andpensate customers for all the cars that had malfunctioned over the past three years. We will also apologize to the owners of these problematic cars in the Huaxia market.
Harpers n wasprehensive, and his attitude was also very sincere.
He was no longer as high and mighty as before.
If it was possible, or if there were other options, Harper would not be like this.
But that was no longer possible. Te had no way out.
If they did not stop the losses in time, they wouldpletely lose the Huaxia market.
Meanwhile, he himself was beingpletely suppressed by Lin Yi and didnt dare to act rashly.
If you said that before, this matter would have been resolved long ago, but now, Im afraid it wont work. Lin Yi said lightly.
Are you not satisfied with what were doing? Harper asked excitedly.
Theres nothing else we can do.
Even if you recall the problematic car and apologize in the Huaxia market, who can guarantee that such a thing wont happen again?
President Lin, dont worry. We promise that we will investigate this problem strictly. This wont happen again.
Were all from the business world. A guarantee like this doesnt have any credibility with me.
What do you want us to do? If we continue to waste time, it wont do the twopanies any good.
No, no, no, dont say that. Lin Yi shook his finger.
Theres something youre mistaken about. Our Lingyun Groups subsidiarypanys shares are soaring now, so much so that my worth has soared again. Therefore, this matter only affects Te. To be honest, I am waiting for this matter to ferment for a while more.
Harper became agitated.
But what youre doing doesnt align with business logic. You are in the semiconductor industry. If you insist on this approach, then in the future, there will be no possibility of cooperation between us, Harper argued.
My business logic is correct, its you who are mistaken, Lin Yi said:
ording to our Huaxian customs, once we spot a vulnerability or weakness in apetitor, we strike hard. Theres an old saying, Attack him where he is sick, go for his life. So I think its better to drag this out. Even if we cant force you out of the Huaxian market, we can further squeeze Tes market share here and create breathing space for other Huaxian electric vehiclepanies. Its a good move.
Well
Harpers expression was ugly, but he suppressed his anger.
He knew that he could not win against the person in front of him, so he could not be angry.
But this matter has to be resolved eventually, Harper said.
If President Lin is not satisfied with our actions, you can tell us your ideas. We will consider it carefully.
Its really nothing. Im just worried that there will be another problem with your things. As long as we can address this, everything else will be resolved.
But Ive already given you my word that it wont happen again.
Your word is meaningless. We often feel that its safest to hold our lives in our own hands.
Harper could tell that something was wrong. Because of the cultural differences, he didntpletely understand what Lin Yi meant.
President Lin, can you make yourself clearer?
To put it bluntly, we hope that you can provide us with the core data on your vehicle safety. Only then can I be at ease.
Thats impossible. That is daylight robbery. We definitely wont agree!
Lin Yi shrugged and looked at his watch.
You can refuse, but this is only todays condition. If you dont agree, well continue to waste time. However, let me remind you that tomorrow, this condition might change again. Your call.
With that, he picked up thendline on the desk and spoke to the secretary outside.
Come in and see the guests out.
A few secondster, the secretary walked in and gestured for Harper to enter.
Mr. Harper, this way please.
Haber and his secretary were stunned as they sat on the sofa. They didnt expect this meeting to end like this.
His mind was in a mess because he couldnt think of a solution.
If he did not agree, this storm would not end!
He had no other choice.
President Lin, I thought about it seriously just now. We can put todays conversation on hold.
What do you mean?
Well think about your terms carefully, but right now, I cant promise you anything. I dont have that much authority. I hope you can give me some time.
Lin Yi shook his head and said expressionlessly,
Theres no room for negotiation on this matter. If theres no result today, the conditions wont be the same tomorrow. As for what to do and who to discuss it with, thats up to you. However, I do hope that you will try to fight me to the death.
With that, Lin Yi waved his hand. See the guests out!
Mr. Harper, this way please.
The female secretary was also a little excited. President Lin was too domineering!
Harper wasnt angry, he just looked a little dejected.
With his secretary in tow, he dejectedly left the office.
Why did you only ask for the core safety technology and cause such a hugemotion? Arent you letting them off a little too lightly? she asked.
First of all, its very difficult to discuss such a big matter in a short period of time. This way, I have room to make more demands. Lin Yi said.
Secondly, even if they reach a decision before midnight, I can still make an issue out of the safety issues to maintain control. The initiative is still in my hands.
What do you mean?
While domestic electric cars are flourishing, Te indeed has its unique strengths, Lin Yi said.
For example, their thermal management systems, battery management systems, and extensive operational data are all very impressive.
So what? This has nothing to do with safety, right?
Look, youre missing the point, Lin Yi said leisurely.
Back then, when Meiguo attacked Saddaq, they imed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction that threatened global security, and so they went to war. In the same way, I will be the person who sets the boundaries this time. Now you understand, right?
Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes and looked at Lin Yi sneakily.
Youre such a bad person. I feel like youre going to toy them to death. Ji Qingyan covered her mouth andughed.
Lin Yi chuckled. The worst is yet toe.
What would that be?
Youre about to find out.
Ah! Hooligan, you actually touched my thigh!

1758 Murderous Intent Revealed!
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
After teasing Ji Qingyan in the office for a while, Lin Yi was pushed away.
Go, go, go. Stay aside. Im going to work.
As she spoke, she stood up and made her way to her dressing room.
I thought you had work to do.
Youve torn my stockings. Ive got to change into a new pair. She took out a new pair of stockings and changed into them.
By the way, what ns do you have in the afternoon? Do you have to apany your friends out to y?
Lin Yi nodded. Since theyre already here, we naturally have to hang out.
I wont be apanying you. Ill stay at my mothers ce tonight.
That works too.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yi left the Chaoyang Group and drove to the Penins Hotel.
When he arrived at the hotel, Xiao Bing and the others were already up.
He nned to let them eat their breakfast first before arranging the next event.
It was five in the afternoon, and Lin Yi brought Xiao Bing and the others to the racetrack to drive a fewps.
At around nine oclock in the evening, they finished fooling around at the racetrack and went to the Bund to take in the night view of Zhonghai.
Young people couldnt just hang out in nightclubs every day.
Brother Lin, you actually brought us to such a in ce. Were not used to it, haha Luo Qiughed.
Didnt you just have fun with the strong guy yesterday? You need a mix of different activities. Tomorrow Ill arrange something else for you to do.
Sure thing.
Ring ring ring!
While at the beach, Lin Yis phone rang. It was an unknown number.
Lin Yi had a feeling that it might a call from Te.
Hello?
President Lin, Im Director Qis secretary, Wang Nan. Director Qi was beaten up. The doctor said that he is in very bad condition and hes seriously injured.
Wang Nan could be heard sobbing over the phone.
Old Qi was beaten up!
Hearing this news, Lin Yi was stunned for a long time.
He could not believe such a thing.
Seeing Lin Yis expression change, Xiao Bing and the others stopped in their tracks.
Their keen insight was telling them that something bad might have happened.
Tell me exactly what happened.
The cargo ship sent from Zhonghai arrived at the port yesterday afternoon. Director Qi arranged for it to be loaded and unloaded this morning, but when he arrived in the morning, the port authorities said that there were prohibited items in our cargo. They demanded it be transported to a designated ce for inspection, and only after clearing the inspection could the loading and unloading proceed. Director Qi felt they were bullying us, so he confronted them, and it ended up with him getting beaten by them.
Are you guys in the hospital? Lin Yi said coldly.
After the ident, I contacted the embassy and sent him to the hospital, but Director Qis head was hit. It was covered in blood and he was seriously injured.
Keep an eye on Old Qi first. Ille over now. Dont turn off your phone. We must keep in touch at all times.
Got it, President Lin. Ill take good care of Director Qi.
After hanging up, Lin Yi said to the others,
Something happened at thepany and I dont have time to bring you around any more. Head back. I have something to deal with.
Lin Yi quickened his pace and jogged towards his car.
Brother Lin, what happened? Xiao Bing caught up and asked.
Ourpany had a shipment in goods, but there was a problem in Panem. One of our senior vice presidents was beaten up. Im going over to take a look.
From a long time ago, Lin Yi had sensed that something was wrong with this project.
That was why he sent Old Qi over. He thought that with thetters ability, he could properly handle this matter.
In the end, such a horrible thing happened.
Now, Lin Yi had a bad feeling.
It felt like a huge conspiracy. The truth would soon surface.
How dare they touch Brother Lins people! Xiao Bing was also furious. Damn it, Ill go with you. Lets see whos so bold to challenge the heavens!
Boss, well go with you! Sui Qiang said in a muffled voice.
I appreciate your kindness, but you are now people of status. You cant follow me, or it will escte.
Were not doing a mission for the Central Guards Brigades now. We re helping each other as friends. The higher-ups cant interfere.
I dont care. Im going anyway, Xiao Bing said. Im not afraid even if Im punished!
Thats right, no one in Team 1 is a coward!
Lin Yi smiled. Seeing that he couldnt stop these people, he agreed.
Lets go.
They got into the car together. Lin Yi called Liang Jinming and asked him to prepare the runway. He didnt want to waste any time.
After speaking to Liang Jinming, Lin Yi gave Ji Qingyan a call.
After briefly exining the situation, Ji Qingyan was so angry that her expression turned ugly.
They even dared to touch Brother Qi. These people were too bold.
As for Te, Lin Yi was no longer in the mood to deal with them. He asked Ji Qingyan to leave it to He Yuanyuan.
Things on that side wereing to an end; Te could no longer cause any trouble.
Thus, He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan could handle this.
The supercars shuttled through the streets of Zhonghai. Even the bright red lights couldnt stop the roar of the engines.
Everyone in the car was good at driving.
Although there were many cars on the road, it did not affect their travel.
The people on the road also recognized that these were sports cars worth tens of millions. No one dared to block the road and simply chose to avoid them.
In just half an hour, they drove the car to the airport and boarded the ne immediately, flying towards Panem.
The atmosphere on the ne was a little gloomy. It was very different from when they were ying.
Lin Yi held his phone and keptmunicating with Wang Nan.
He even asked Wang Nan to send Qi Xianzhaos medical report over.
Lin Yi looked at it for a while, and he calmed down greatly.
Although the situation was not very good, at least his life was not in danger.
Then, Lin Yi called Alice.
He wanted her to send a group of doctors over from Meiguo so that nothing would go wrong.
ording to the current flight schedule, they still had to stop and refuel mid-way. It would take at least 20 hours to reach Panem. Alice could send doctors from Meiguo over more than 10 hours beforehand so that Qi Xianzhou could receive better care.
Once the doctors arrived, they could monitor Old Qi. That way, nothing would go wrong.
At the same time, a mission notification appeared in Lin Yis mind.
Notification: The current mission has beenpleted (5/10).
In other words, Te had negotiated the oue.
And their result was apromise!
But now, Lin Yi was no longer in the mood to pay attention to these things. He only wanted to fly to Panem as soon as possible!
Lin Yi closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
Given the current situation, he was certain that someone was sabotaging them. As for who it might be, that was still unknown.
But no matter who it was, they had to be rooted out!
Lin Yi took a deep breath.
A murderous intent was clearly visible between his brows!
Chapter 1759 - 1759 Hunting Operation
1759 Hunting Operation
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
After a long journey of more than twenty hours, the nended in Panem
City, the capital of Panem.
Next to the airport, there were many car rentalpanies. Lin Yi rented two Land Cruisers and drove towards the best hospital in Panem City, the Pacific
Hospital.
When Lin Yi arrived at the hospital entrance, Wang Nan was already waiting
for him.
Although he rarely returned to thepany, Lin Yi still had some impression of Wang Nan because he often frequented Qi Xianzhaos office.
President Lin, youre here.
Hows Old Qis condition?
The doctor said that his condition has stabilized. As long as he recuperates well, he should be fine. However, the doctor didnt say how long he would need to recover.
Lin Yis face was terrifyingly dark. Even though the sky above his head was exceptionally clear, to Wang Nan, it looked like dark clouds.
She had been in thepany for a long time, but this was the first time she had seen the president reveal such an expression.
Bring me up to check him out.
President Lin, follow me.
Under Wang Nans lead, the group arrived at the intensive care unit. Pushing open the door, Lin Yi saw Qi Xianzhao lying on the bed with a thick bandage on his head.
Apart from that, his feet and arms were raised with wires. He was clearly injured. Even the lightest of his injuries consisted of broken bones.
There were more than ten doctors standing around him. Some were from the local hospital, and some were transferred over from Meiguo on Lin Yis request. They were all examining Qi Xianzhao.
President Lin.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, Qi Xianzhao responded with difficulty.
Lin Yis heart skipped a beat as if someone had stabbed him with a knife.
Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan were the two greatest contributors to Lingyun Group.
They had followed Lin Yi from scratch and brought the Lingyun Group to where it was today.
Qi Xianzhao had contributed greatly.
Without him, Lingyun Group wouldnt be where it was today.
He Yuanyuan had a very important position in Lin Yis heart, but so did Qi Xianzhao.
Boss
Yu Siying quietly tugged at Lin Yis sleeve.
His appearance was not quite right. It felt like he was a man-eating tiger.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and walked towards Qi Xianzhao.
Dont speak first. Let me check your condition.
Lin Yi turned to look at the other doctors.
Bring me all the test reports.
The other doctors obediently handed over thetest test report.
He wouldnt have known if he hadnt seen it himself. After reading it, Lin Yis body trembled.
There were six fractures on his body, and the most serious injury was on his head. There were still blood clots in his head.
It was not like an ordinary conflict. It was a fight to the death.
Qi Xianzhao grinned when he saw Lin Yis expression.
President Lin, the doctor said that Im fine. I just need to recuperate for a
while.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.
Its been hard on you. 111 avenge you!
President Lin, dont be agitated. There might be a misunderstanding here. We
still have to prioritize business.
-Dont worry about this. Your condition is quite stable now. Ill arrange for you to return to Huaxia for treatment.
Thank you, President Lin.
Lin Yi took a deep breath. Dont talk for now. Rest well. Ill take care of the rest.
Qi Xianzhao nodded. Then, with the help of the nurse, hey on the bed to rest. Xiao Bing looked at Lin Yi quietly. This was the first time she saw such an angry expression on Lin Yis face.
He could not even control his emotions.
Usually, he was not like this.
For the rest of the day, Lin Yi didnt do anything. He was busy handling Qi Xianzhaos return.
in order to ensure his absolute safety, he brought all the medical equipment worth more than four million yuan onto the ne.
Moreover, he informed Li Chuhan and Miao Guofeng to receive the team in Huaxia.
During this period, He Yuanyuan called more than 20 times. She even wanted to rush over personally.
Because in the entire Lingyun Group, other than Lin Yi, she had the deepest rtionship with Qi Xianzhao.
She couldnt bear it.
However, Lin Yi didnt let here. The situation here was a littleplicated.
She would only cause trouble if she came.
Even though she didnt fly over, her calls came non-stop. The content was always the same, asking Lin Yi to find the person who did it as soon as possible and beat him to death!
It was not just He Yuanyuan C even Ji Qingyan was furious.
She hoped that Lin Yi could find those people quickly and teach them a lesson. A day passed. Lin Yi settled everything on Qi Xianzhaos side and sessfully sent him to the ne.
Lin Yi learned more from Wang Nan.
Qi Xianzhao was not the only one injured. Thepany had also hired third-party stevedores. However, they had all been captured and were in a very bad situation.
After sending Qi Xianzhao onto the ne, Xiao Bing asked,
Brother Lin, where should we start?
-Lets go to the embassy first. This is a conflict with the Panemian government. We can t go to them as an individual and ask for an exnation. We have to be apanied by an official.
Okay.
A group of nine people drove to the embassy.
Lin Yi found the person in charge, Zhang Shuping, and stated his rtionship with Liang Ruoxu.
Thetter weed the nine people warmly and sent his secretary, Chen Qingfeng, to follow Lin Yi to deal with this matter.
President Lin, I understand how you feel, but I hope you can handle this calmly.
I know. Im not a kid anymore. 1 know how to handle this kind of thing. Hearing Lin Yis words, Xiao Bing and the others felt their blood run cold. The more he said that the more obvious it was that he would use violence to deal with this matter.
Im d you think so.
Chen Qingfeng was ignorant and did not think too deeply about it. He continued,
The incident happened the morning before. The Canal Authority wanted to inspect Lingyun Groups goods. Then, there was a conflict.
Lin Yi nodded and said calmly,
I understand the situation, but I mainly want to rify who, specifically or which department, was involved in the conflict with our groups employees. The conflict involved the security personnel from the management bureau. They received information iming that your cargo ship was carrying contraband and needed to be taken to a specified location for investigation before it could be loaded and unloaded. Director Qi disagreed with their approach, which led to the confrontation.
-I would like to have a discussion with the people from the security office about this matter. Is that possible?
Of course, Chen Qingfeng said frankly.
-After the incident, weve already submitted the relevant instructions and will investigate this matter seriously. They also replied that they would cooperate with our investigation. We can go look for them now.
Lin Yi smiled and said gentlemanly,
Then please take us there..
Chapter 1760 - 1760 It Has Nothing to Do With Us
Chapter 1760 It Has Nothing to Do With Us
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Alright, lets go over now.
Chen Qingfeng found it a little strange. Why did he bring a group of young people instead of other executives?
Moreover, from the looks of it, they didnt look like employees of the corporation. They looked more like tourists.
However, Xiao Bing and the others could not care less about this. Instead, they secretly prepared themselves.
Because no one knew what would happen next.
Someone was definitely going to bleed.
In less than half an hour, the car arrived at the Canal Authoritys office.
Lin Yi patted the dust off his body and tidied his clothes.
Xiao Bing, Sui Qiang, the two of you follow me in. The rest of you wait outside.
Got it.
Xiao Bing, Sui Qiang, and Lin Yi got out of the car.
Led by Chen Qingfeng, the four of them entered the management bureau.
Right at the entrance, they met the person in charge of the bureau, Ganole.
He was the deputy general manager of the bureau, responsible for managing affairs big and small here.
The bureau sending such a person to meet them also showed sincerity.
Mr. Gano Li, this is Mr. Lin Yi, the president of Lingyun Group. He hase specifically to address that conflict, Chen Qingfeng introduced.
Ganole extended his hand towards Lin Yi, who responded politely.
Mr. Lin, Mr. Cohen is in his office. 1 will call him out now, and you can have a good discussion about this matter.
Thank you for your hard work. Lin Yi said calmly.
But hes not the only person I want to see. Can you help me call out everyone who was involved in yesterdays conflict?
Thats possible, but there were more than twenty people involved on the day of the conflict. If we call all of them over, it might be difficult tomunicate. Ganole wasnt trying to brush Lin Yi off, nor was he uncooperative. This was the genuine reason.
Its okay. Just call them all over.
Ill contact them now, but itll take a while. You guys might have to wait a little longer.
Its fine. Theres no hurry.
Ganolie gestured for Lin Yi and the others to enter the meeting room before leaving.
In the conference room, the four of them found their seats and sat down.
Lin Yi closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, not saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking.
They felt a gloomy aura surging from him.
Chen Qingfeng nced at Lin Yi from the corner of his eye and got a premonition.
Would this Lin Yi really solve the problem peacefully?
Why did his mood seem so off?
About twenty minutester, noisy footsteps and cursing could be heard outside the conference room.
Shortly after, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Ganole walked in with arge group of people.
Beside him was a bearded man in a brownish-yellow uniform.
His name was Cohen, and he was the person in charge of the security office.
The person behind him was also wearing a brownish-yellow uniform like him.
The moment he entered, Cohen saw Lin Yi and said in a low voice,
Is this Huaxian looking for me?
Yes, he is the president of Lingyun Group, Mr. Lin Yi. He wants to know what happened the day before.
What else is there to understand? There was contraband on the ship. We were in charge of the inspection. Its a very normal thing.
Lin Yi raised his head and looked at Cohen. He wasnt angry. Instead, he smiled.
Have a seat. Lets talk slowly.
More than twenty people took their seats one after another. As there were not enough chairs, the remaining people stood at the back of the room.
Because this conversation involves a dispute. Ill videotape the rest of the conversation. This shouldnt be a problem, right?
Of course its not a problem, Ganole said obligingly. Well allow that.
Lin Yi handed the phone to Xiao Bing and whispered a few words into her ear. Thetter nodded and handled the recording.
After everything was prepared, Lin Yi changed his posture and looked at the person opposite him.
I want to know, what exactly caused you to attack mypanys employees? Ive already told you just now. Dont you understand what Im saying? Cohen crossed his legs and said.
There was contraband on your ship. We were going to inspect it, but your people wouldnt let us, so 1 used coercion.
Back in January, our cargo ship had already arrived at the Panem Canal. Why did you only realize the problem now? Lin Yi said.
If there was really a problem, you should have discovered it long ago.
Im not sure about that. The ship is yourpanys property. I think you should look inward and not question me.
Heh
Lin Yiughed. Youre very arrogant. Im sitting here in person, and youre still talking to me like this?
Lin Yis powerful aura suppressed Cohen in an instant, and thetters expression became uneasy.
Im telling the truth. 1 was just following the rules.
I know you were acting ording to the rules, but even if there was a conflict, you didnt have to beat him up to this state. Lin Yi said calmly.
I dont think that was the result of a simple conflict.
Who asked them to be disobedient? Cohen shrugged and said.
If theyre disobedient, we naturally have to hit them. After all, they have to submit. This is not Huaxia, not a ce for you to behave atrociously. Please watch your attitude! Chen Qingfeng said.
Is there a problem with my attitude? Arent you Huaxians being a bit too sensitive? Cohen said with an exaggerated expression.
Moreover, I feel that we didnt use much strength at that time before he was knocked down. It might not be our fault C it might just be that the Huaxian physique is too weak.
You!
Okay, theres no need to be angry.
Lin Yi pulled Chen Qingfeng back and lowered his head.
The root of the problem is that some people im that there was something wrong with our goods. But I want to know where this information came from. I dont know about that. Cohen shrugged. After I got the tip-off, 1 brought my people over. Simple as that.
So youre saying that this had nothing to do with you guys, right? Lin Yi asked with a smile.
Of course, we were just following the rules. It was your people who resisted first. Its only right for them to be beaten up. What has it got to do with me? Cohen asked.
I think its better to go back and train your bodies first. Otherwise, donte overseas to do business. This kind of ce isnt suitable for you.
Haha
Cohens words made everyone burst intoughter.
However, Lin Yis expression darkened..
Chapter 1761 - 1761 Midnight Fangs!
Chapter 1761 Midnight Fangs!
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor. EndlessFantasy Trantion
Theughter in the conference roomsted for a while.
Lin Yi didnt move at all. He sat in ce quietly like a statue.
Xiao Bing and Sui Qiang were equally quiet.
The atmosphere around him was too unusual. The calmer Lin Yi was now, the
more intense his revenge would be!
After two to three minutes, theughter in the meeting room gradually subsided.
Lin Yis gaze swept across everyone.
The people present were the ones who attacked, right?
You could say that, Cohen said generously.
-I was the one who hit him on the head because he was too disobedient. I had
no choice.
At this moment, Chen Qingfeng saw a surprising smile on Lin Yis face.
Since thats the case, lets end todays matter here. Ill go back and investigate further. 1 might look for you in the future. I hope you will cooperate then.
I dont want youing after us again, said Cohen.
-We all have work to do. We dont want to waste time on you.
Thats not up to you. After such a huge incident, we naturally have to seek
justice.
You Huaxians are really annoying, Cohen said angrily.
Im leaving. Dont bother me in the future. It wont do you any good.
Ill try my best. Lin Yi smiled.
After this, the twenty people left. Chen Qingfeng looked at Lin Yi and said.
President Lin, the truth is right in front of us. Their actions are indeed
overboard. I think its better to appeal.
-Theres not much point in appealing. This is Panem. The local environment is unfriendly to us, and they have their own reasons. Even if we go to court, well
end up losing.
Are we just going to let it go like this?
Ill think about it when I get back and see if 1 can resolve this matter properly.
Alright, if you need my help, remember to contact me immediately.
Okay.
After a few simple words, the few of them parted ways.
Lin Yi and the other two also walked out of the room.
Brother Lin, what should we do now?
Dont worry, such a big matter cant be handled overnight. Lin Yi said.
Lets go back to the hotel and eat something first. Well deal with the rest
slowly.
Do we still need the officials to intervene in this matter? Sui Qiang asked.
I did not look for them to solve the problem. I just wanted to see who did it.
Lin Yi said.
Now that the preparatory work is over, theres naturally no need for the
officials help.
They drove back to the hotel and discussed their next step.
On the way back, Lin Yi called Shen Tianzhuo.
Director Shen, did I disturb your rest?
It was past eleven in the morning in Panem. In Huaxia time, it would be past
ten in the evening.
As a qualified coder, I dont need to rest, Shen Tianzhuo joked.
Thats great. I have something on my side and need to deal with it urgently.
Lin Yi said.
I just sent you a video and a couple of screenshots. There are about two dozen people on it. I want to hack into the Panem Canal Authoritys data system and look for information about them. It doesnt have to be too detailed. Just find
their home addresses.
Panem!
Shen Tianzhuos voice became serious. Are you dealing with President Qis
matter?
Yes, Lin Yi said, This is an official system, can we hack it?
Itll be very difficult, but 111 contact the worlds top hackers to do it, Shen Tianzhuo said.
1 know what to do next. You dont have to worry about this. Just wait for my
update.
Thank you, Director Shen.
What are you talking about? Do your best and dont let President Qi go
unavenged.
I know.
After hanging up, Lin Yi and the others drove back to the hotel and ate.
Lin Yi didnt arrange anything else in the afternoon, but the others went out to
do whatever they wanted.
They were all born with a silver spoon, so even if they went out on their own, they wouldnt be overwhelmed by the unfamiliar settings.
Moreover, many of them had already traveled here before, so Lin Yi didnt need to give any particr instructions-just that they should regroup on time.
As time slowly passed, it was a little past eight in the evening, and Lin Yi found himself alone, having dinner on the hotels terrace.
Sir, Ive bought what you wanted, the waiter said.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded. He handed over a hundred dors as a tip and took
the cigarette and lighter from him.
Thank you. Have a wonderful evening.
After the waiter left, Lin Yi put down his knife and fork and opened the packaging of the cigarette.
He leaned against the balcony railing and silently lit a stick. The night wind blew in his face, and Lin Yi looked at the distant night scenery in a daze.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Yis thoughts were pulled back to reality by the rapid ringing of his phone.
The cigarette in his hand turned into ashes after a few puffs.
He took out another cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it skillfully before answering Shen Tianzhuos call.
Did you find anything?
I did. There were a total of 27 people. The information has been verified. Ill
get my subordinates to organize it and send it to youter.
Okay, thank you, Director Shen.
This matter is very small. We must handle it well. Our Lingyun Group cant suffer such a cowardly act.
I know. Lin Yi took a deep drag on his cigarette. Ill take care of it. Ive been busy all night. Rest early.
Well be waiting for your good news.
After hanging up, Lin Yi realized that the eight people from Team 1 were all standing behind him.
When did youe back? Why was there no sound at all?
Brother Lin, you were in a daze. Weve been standing here for a few minutes and you didnt notice us, Xiao Bing said.
I was thinking about something just now. I was too focused.
The eight of them looked at Lin Yi strangely.
From their memory, their team leader did not smoke.
Dont just stand there, Lin Yi said.
-Theres news from Zhonghai. Get ready to follow me outter.
Okay!
The few of them returned to the car one after another. Xiao Bing brought out a few boxes.
Brother Lin, lets see if we can use this.
Lin Yi was surprised when Xiao Bing opened the three boxes.
There were different types of weapons inside. Although the models were not thetest, they were all in perfect condition. There was no need to worry about the firepower.
You went out in the afternoon to get these things?
If we dont teach them a lesson this time, theyll think that we can be taken advantage of.
Xiao Bing took out the items from the box and distributed them to the others.
Since were already here, we have to do something big!
The corners of Lin Yis mouth curled up. Then lets start with this Cohen guy..
Chapter 1762 - 1762 Eliminating Weeds
1762 Eliminating Weeds
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Devore Street was located on the edge of Panem City.
Looking out, all he could see were low-rise buildings, hardly a sight of prosperity.
A few kilometers furthery the slums of Panem.
While not as chaotic as depicted in movies, it was hardly a desirable ce either, with less than ideal security.
Fortunately, the area was well-equipped with necessary amenities, although asional gunfights and robberies did ur.
For the residents here, however, such incidents were considered normal. As long as they were cautious when stepping out, there were no major problems. Cohens house was in an apartment on Devore Street.
Cohens house was not big. All in all, it was only about 60 square meters.
The furniture and furnishings in the house were already old. Clothes were strewn everywhere, and there was no ce to put them.
But even so, on Devore Street, their familys conditions were considered quite good. Many people would be envious of Cohen having a proper job.
The reason for this was because the people here were indeed very poor and did not have the habit of saving money. Thus, Vagrants could be seen everywhere. On the old cloth sofa, Kohen was seated shirtless. He and his wife, Tanasha, were drinking beer and watching La Liga football on television.
From time to time, he wouldment on the match. He looked very satisfied.
Oh, by the way, darling, theres something I forgot to tell you.
During the intermission, Tanasha said,
Two people from the embassy came today and asked about you. Is something wrong? Dont hide it from me.
These damn people actually found this ce, Cohen cursed loudly as he put down his beer.
What happened? Tell me quickly.
After gulping down a mouthful of beer, Cohen told Tanasha about what had happened a few days ago.
These Huaxians are too much. They made a mistake. Why should they investigate you?
I dont know. Maybe his injuries were too severe, Cohen said indifferently. But I have to say that the Huaxians are too weak. I only hit that persons head and then he fell to the ground.
You know this. The physical fitness of Huaxians is very poor. Theyre like a ball of bubbles that will pop with a light touch.
My dear, thats an apt description. Thats what 1 thought as well, Cohen said with augh.
Theyvee to Panem to do business, but theyre still disobedient. We must teach them a lesson. Do they really think theyre Meiguons and can do whatever they want here?
Will theye after you in the future?
I dont care. Their people have alreadye for me, but I warned them not toe looking for me in the future. If they dare toe again, I dont mind beating them up.
I think you are right. These people are so arrogant. Send them all to the hospital so they know that we are not to be trifled with.
With my fists, I can fight ten Huaxians alone. Haha
ng! ng! ng!
As the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door of the house.
Cohen said impatiently,
Who knocks sote at night? Id like to send him to God! Darling, open the door.
The second half has already begun. Im not going.
Cohen got up and said impatiently,
Disturbing me from watching the game. Im going to teach whoever it is a good lesson.
He got up and went to the door. Without thinking, Cohen opened the door. However, before he could see who it was, he felt a pain in his abdomen as he was kicked into the house!
It was Yu Siying!
Immediately after, Lin Yi and Zhang Chao entered the room and closed the door, turning it into a sealed space.
Seeing the three of them enter, Cohen was shocked.
What are you doing here?!
Nothing, 1 just want to ask you who told you that theres something wrong with the goods, Lin Yi said with a dark expression.
Cohen stood up and red at Lin Yi.
Ive told you everything I know and you still dare to look for me? I wont let the three of you leave so easily!
Cohen rushed back to the kitchen angrily and grabbed a fruit knife. He said to Lin Yi,
You came to my house without permission. This is illegal. Even if I kill you, thew wont punish me.
Darling, dont talk to these stupid Huaxians. Hurry up and teach them a lesson. I want to continue watching the game, Tanasha said.
Dont worry, I know. These Huaxians cant beat me
Before he could finish speaking, Cohens voice cut out abruptly.
Because a ck gun was aimed at his head.
You, what are you doing?!
Cohen was scared silly. His expression and attitude werepletely different from before.
Tanasha let out a high-pitched scream of terror and ducked behind the door on her hands and knees.
Youd better not speak too loudly. The gun might go off, Zhang Chaoyue said.
The two of them stopped talking. No one dared to say anything else.
I really dont know anything. Ive already told you everything I know.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow at Cohen.
My patience is limited. This is yourst chance. You only have five seconds to think. Dont disappoint me.
With a thud, Cohen fell to his knees.
I really dont know anything. The call was from an unknown number. He said that there was something wrong with your goods. Thats why we went to check. If your people hadnt obstructed us, there wouldnt have been a conflict. Even if I obstructed you, things shouldnt have escted so badly, right? I-I admit, when I saw they were from Huaxia, I went too far. But I know he didn t die. I can apologize to him and paypensation.
But do you know that the person you injured is the senior vice president of ourpany? He has been with me since the start of thepany.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and looked at Kohen calmly.
Hes a very important person to me. You should pay for what you did.
Yes, yes, yes. Im willing topensate. We can go to the hospital now.
I have plenty of money. I dontck whatever you have. Pay with your life. BANG!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue pulled the trigger. The bullet entered Cohens forehead and he died on the spot!
AH!
Tanasha let out a bloodcurdling scream. It was as if shed gone mad. She clutched her head and curled up behind the door.
Ive already told you, if you keep yelling, the gun will go off.
Zhang Chaoyues words had a deterring effect, and Tanasha trembled, not daring to utter a word.
BANG!
At that moment, another gunshot rang out.
But it wasnt Zhang Yue who fired the shot. It was Yu Siying.
You have to dig up the roots when eliminating weeds. It will be very troublesome if we leave anyone alive..

Zhang Chaoyue shivered. Ive heard others say that people with small breasts have a bad temper. Today, Ive witnessed it firsthand. Sister Ying is so ruthless. Im impressed.
Shes experienced. After all, shes already at D-ss. Shes more experienced than you, so learn well from her, Lin Yi said.
But remember one thing, in Huaxia, we are just ordinary citizens, but abroad, we are seen as a group of people without morals. As long as it achieves our goals, dont bother with those useless considerations. To sum it up in four words: by any means necessary.
Got it, Boss.
Lin Yis words benefited Zhang Chao greatly. Now, he understood the true essence of the Central Guards Brigade.
Lets go. Weve settled everything. Its time for the next round.
The three of them left Cohens house and returned to the Land Cruiser.
Boss, even Cohen doesnt know the details. The rest of the underlings probably wont know anything either, Yu Siying said.
Therefore, theres no need to ask about these things from now on. Just attack.
Understood.
At the same time, Lin Yi received messages from Xiao Bing and Sui Qiang.
Their two teams had each dealt with two people and were rushing toward the third target.
Lets go. Lets continue working. Xiao Bing and Sui Qiang are faster than us. We cant be left behind.
Lets go.
The next morning, the sun was high in the sky. The seaside breeze carried a salty air as if it was a sign of a beautiful day.
In the embassy, Zhang Shuping was handling the relevant documents on the table.
The matter with Lingyun Group was a little sensitive. Fortunately, their president was here, so the problem should be resolved soon.
However, at this moment, Chen Qingfeng rushed in.
Leader, something bad has happened.
Zhang Shuping took off his sses. What happened? Im in a hurry.
Theres been a murder. Twenty-eight people were killed through shootingsst night, Chen Qingfeng said.
Among them, 27 people were all from the security office of the management bureau, and the remaining one was their rtive.
The security offices people!
Zhang Shuping stood up excitedly, his eyes wide and his face looking grim.
Could it be
Just as you suspected, the 27 people who died were the very same ones who negotiated with President Lin during the day yesterday. But by nightfall, all of them had died!
He must have done it!
Zhang Shuping suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back.
What was he thinking? Even if he knows the Liang family, he cant do this!
We might have underestimated his identity, Chen Qingfeng said with an ugly expression.
Most people dont have the guts to do something like this. I suspect that he never nned of solving the problem through normal means from the beginning. He might have long nned to do this.
I really underestimated him. Zhang Shuping said with a serious expression.
I have to tell the Liang family about this. Lets see how they deal with this.
Huaxia, Yanjing, a residential building in a certain courtyard.
At around 10 pm, Liang Cunxiao and Shen Shuyi finished eating at Liang Xianghes house and prepared to go home to rest.
It felt so good to not have his children by his side.
Take this. Liang Xianghe said, Its authentic Bingcheng Red Sausage. Take it back and try it.
You can keep it for yourself. Myrade-in-arms gave me a lot. I still have some at home, Liang Cunxiao said.
Then 1 wont give it to you. Ill keep it for myself.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, thendline phone at home rang. Everyone in the house subconsciously stopped what they were doing.
That was because the phone was part of the internal line. Ordinary people could not call it.
Moreover, it was already past 10 pm. It might not be a small matter if they were calling at this time.
Liang Xianghe picked up the phone and spoke to the other party for more than ten minutes.
Liang Cunxiao was a little slow on the uptake, but Shen Shuyi, who had sharp observation skills, felt that the person they were talking about seemed to resemble Lin Yi.
Dad, who called? Liang Cunxiao asked as he put on his shoes.
Its Zhang Shuping. Hes the person in charge of the embassy in Parkminstan O
Shen Shuyi stood at the side and rolled her eyes.
With her quick thinking, she thought of a possibility.
Lingyun Group had a batch of goods that were stuck in the Panama Canal. Could it be because of this?
This person shouldnt be from the Liang family, right?
Indeed hes not, but something happened there recently. Liang Xianghe said.
A vice president of Lingyun Group had a conflict with the people over there and was severely injured. Then, Lin Yi brought some people over and killed 28 people overnight. 27 of them were involved in that conflict.
All?!
Hearing this news, Liang Cunxiao was shocked.
Is this kid crazy? How could he do such a thing?
Even Liang Cunxiao, who had seen many things in his life, could not control himself when he heard this news.
He had killed twenty-eight people in one night. This guy was crazy.
Shen Shuyi was also shocked by Lin Yis iron-blooded methods.
On second thought, Lin Yi had enough reason to do this.
The three vice presidents of Lingyun Group were each Lin Yis right-hand men, capable of handling major responsibilities independently.
Particrly the senior vice president in charge of this matter, Qi Xianzhao, was unmatched in business capabilities.
Now, with such an incident urring, resulting in him being seriously injured, it was no wonder Lin Yi was furious.
However, such a violent response was truly excessive and likely to cause a major uproar.
Its normal. You all know Lin Yis personality. Liang Xianghe appeared very calm and said unhurriedly.
If he didnt have the guts, he wouldnt have achieved what he has today.
But the problem is that the person he killed was an employee of the bureau. Hes considered an official. This might cause public anger.
Thats true, but I still believe in Lin Yi. Liang Xianghe said.
Hes a smart person. He seems to be hot-blooded and impulsive, but in reality, he takes each step carefully. This looks dangerous, but 1 think he should be able to handle it appropriately.
Our dad is right. Lin Yi is a smart person. He wont let himself be consigned to eternal damnation, Shen Shuyi said.
Lets not be anxious. Lets see what happens next.
Liang Cunxiao thought for a moment. 1 remember that the Huarun Group has an investment of more than eight billion yuan in Panem.
This is our insurance. If the subsequent developments go beyond our expectations, we can still y this card.
Liang Xianghe nodded and pondered for a moment before saying,
The few people he brought over might all be from the Central Guards Brigade. To be safe, I have to tell the old leader about this.
Chapter 1764 - 1764 Identity Exposed
1764 Identity Exposed
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Yanjing, General Staff Departments courtyard.
Lu Beichen, who had justid down, received a call from Liang Xianghe.
Commander, have you heard about Lin Yi?
Is this about Te? But 1 think they apologized. This kid has some skills. He really pushed their heads down.
For a long time, Lu Beichen indulged Lin Yi.
Thetter could do whatever he wanted, and Lu Beichen never bothered to
care.
Because he knew that a person like Lin YI couldnt be tied down, so he didnt pay much attention to his matters.
He would only find out certain snippets of it on the news.
Its not about Te. Lin Yi and the others had a project and ran into some problems in Panem. Thepanys senior vice president was beaten up. After this, Lin Yi brought some of his men over and killed twenty-eight people. This caused quite a stir.
He killed 28 people? Lu Beichen frowned slightly.
-This kid is quite ruthless. Hes not afraid of anything. Hes exactly like his
father.
On the other end of the line, Liang Xiangheughed.
But 1 heard that he brought eight people over. If I remember correctly, Team I of the Central Guards Brigade seems to have recruited eight people this year. I suspect that those people are very likely his team members.
That might be the case. Lu Beichen said.
No one else would have the guts to do such a thing with him.
At this point, Lu Beichenughed. You dont say. Team 1 is quite united. They even worked together to do such a thing.
But Im afraid that it will bring about a bad impact. Once our identities are exposed, it might be a blow to our international reputation.
Lu Beichen paused for a few seconds. Thats indeed possible, but dont worry. Lin Yi never needs anyone to clean up his mess. Lets wait and see what
happens.
Got it.
After hanging up Liang Xianghes call, Lu Beichen silently lit a cigarette before going back to rest. He did not give any new instructions regarding this matter.
It was as if nothing had happened.
At the Wang familys residence in Yanjing.
in the living room, Wang Tingshan and Wang Mian had changed into their pajamas.
Wang Mian was reading a book while Wang Tingshan was reading a newspaper.
The living room was quiet, without any noise.
Ring ring ring!
A phone rang, breaking the silence in the living room.
Wang Tingshan nced at the phone and realized that it was Chen Guanjie.
After picking up the phone, the conversation between the two of them was brief. He hung up in less than two minutes.
Wang Mian put down the book beside him.
Dad, its sote. Who called?
Your Uncle Chen, said Wang Tingshan.
-Lin Yi has already rushed to Panem. All 27 people who had a conflict with the Lingyun Group were killed by them. One of their rtives also ended up being shot to death.
Them?
Lin Yi brought eight people over. If Im not wrong, these eight people should
be members of Team 1 of the Central Guards Brigade.
Those people are crazy. 1 cant believe they would do such a thing. Its like they never want to improve.
Thats not the point. Wang Tingshan closed his eyes and said.
-Hes really amazing. There was no news before, but in just one night, he did
such an earth-shattering thing. 1 dont me you for losing to him.
Father, now is not the time to boost others morale and diminish our own prestige, Wang Mian said:
Hes already in Panem. Whats the n for keeping him there?
The batch of goods from Lingyun Group has been sent to the inspection dock.
Because there are people from the embassy involved, the inspection hasnt started yet. So, the n is to proceed as usual, Wang Tingshan exined: -As soon as the inspection department starts their examination, theyll definitely find the problems with that shipment.
At this point, Wang Tingshan sneered.
I believe that at that moment, Lin Yi will be the focus of the entire world. Not to mention the nine of them, even the entire Central Guards Brigade might not be able to withstand it.
The murders in Panem City attracted the attention of the local police.
They immediately locked onto Lin Yi as a suspect.
This was because 27 of them were from the management bureaus security office.
In the past few days, these twenty-odd people had just had a conflict with the Lingyun Group. He had an obvious motive to kill them.
That was why the local police had targeted him.
On the other hand, Lin Yi and the others returned to the hotel to eat and drink after dealing withst nights matter.
Then, Lin Yi slept on the soft bed. It was quitefortable.
However, at around one in the afternoon, there was a knock on Lin Yis door. Brother Lin, lets get up and eat, Xiao Bing said from outside the door.
I wont be going. After you guys finish eating, just pack some food for me. Ill just grab a bite in the hotel.
-Then we wont go either. Well order first ande to your room to eatter.
Sounds good.
Looking at his watch, it was already past one in the afternoon. Lin Yi wasnt in the mood to sleep anymore and prepared to get up and wash up.
just as he was brushing his teeth, he received a call from Tian Yan.
Have you settled things with Director Qi?
Im halfway done. Now, I have to deal with the problem with the goods. Ill go back after Im done.
-Te has already made a public apology and provided us with a lot of core data. What should we do with these things?
This update was within Lin Yis expectations. The system had already notified him that the case was over.
Te must havepromised.
Wait for my call. Ill call you backter.
Okay.
Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was past one in the afternoon in Panem time. In Huaxia time, it should be around twelve in the morning.
It was obviously inappropriate to call Shen Shuyi at this time, so he simply put his phone aside and waited for a few hours.
Coincidentally, Lin Yi had just put down his phone when Shen Shuyi called.
Aunt Shen.
Lin Yi picked up the phone with a smile. I was just about to contact you, but I was afraid that you were resting, so 1 decided against it.
I just came back from eating at Little Mis granddads ce. Ive heard about what happened in Panem. Youre really bold. You truly dare to do anything. No way, the news has spread back to the country so quickly? -We got a call from Zhang Shuping. Otherwise, we wouldnt have known, Shen Shuyi said.
How are you doing over there? Are you in trouble?
Thank you for your concern, Aunt Shen. Ive handled everything. Everything will be fine.
In that case, Im relieved. Shen Shuyi said.
You said you wanted to call me just now. Is something the matter?
Its still about Te. They handed over the core data, but i dont need it. I saw that you invested in many electric carpanies and wanted to give you this information. Its of no use to me ..
Chapter 1765 - 1765 Something Unknowable
1765 Something Unknowable
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
You got Tes core data?
Shen Shuyi, who was applying a facial mask, suddenly sat up from the sofa, giving Liang Cunxiao a fright.
This matter was so fierce, it couldnt be resolved with just an apology. Hitting peoples faces and scolding them is my favorite thing to do. Aunt Shen, you should know this. Lin Yi smiled.
However, my suggestion is to put this information into use as soon as possible after obtaining it. Tes people are not fools. The reason why they were willing to hand over this data is that they are still developing new technologies behind the scenes. In a year or two, this information will no longer be valuable, so we have to use them as soon as possible.
1 didnt say I wanted these things, right? Shen Shuyi said.
Lrngyun Group is already thergest semiconductor enterprise in Huaxia, and electric vehicles are the industry of the future. With Lingyuns powerful integration capabilities, now is the time for you to enter the electric vehicle market, Shen Shuyi suggested.
Lin Yi paused, surprised by Shen Shuyis suggestion, but after thinking it over, it made sense.
The electric vehicle industry is already fiercelypetitive, with so many big yers involved. If I were to enter the fray, I definitely wouldnt be able topete with them. Wed need someone of Aunt Shens caliber, a stabilizing force like her, to handle this. For a small yer like me, its better to just sit on the sidelines and watch the excitement.
You brat Shen Shuyi smiled and said.
Ill get someone to connect with yourpany tomorrow and bring these technologies over.
Sure thing.
After getting down to business, Lin Yi hung up.
It was gettingte, so he didnt want to dy Shen Shuyis rest.
After hanging up, Shen Shuyi sat on the sofa and stared nkly for a long time.
Lin Yi is incredibly cunning. He probably started nning this over a year ago.
First, he got her to invest in his lithography machine project.
Then he transferred core technologies from Mitsui Heavy Industries and Mitsui High-Tech to her.
Now, hes even given her Tes technology, and all of it for free.
Shen Shuyi couldnt help but smile wryly and hold her forehead. Was this his way of keeping his mother-inw quiet?
After hanging up on Shen Shuyi, Lin Yi also felt a headache.
It was tiring to deal with smart people.
When he tried to gift Tes technology to her, she actually hesitated for a while and even wanted to reject him.
Lin Yi guessed that Shen Shuyi might have seen through his thoughts.
It was really tiring to fight with his future mother-inw.
After washing up, Xiao Bing and the others went to Lin Yis room. Not long after, the food they ordered arrived. It was very sumptuous.
Brother Lin, weve already taken revenge. What should we do next?
Our goods are still stuck here. Well go back as soon as Ive dealt with that issue.
Lin Yi cut a piece of steak and ate as he spoke.
Theres nothing else to doter. If you have something to do at home, go back first. You dont have to apany me here.
How can that do? Were all members of Team 1. We came together when we arrived, so we have to leave together too, Zhao Yunhu said.
You all are truly unafraid of death. You already killed alongside me, yet you all still refuse to leave.
If we can t even do this much, we wouldnt be worthy of staying in Team 1, said the team member, Shao Jianfeng.
Dont say anything else. Its an honor for me to have recruited you into Team 1. Lets do it!
Cheers!
Everyone raised their sses high, and the atmosphere was lively.
Dong dong dong!
Just as the few of them finished the wine in their sses.
The door of the room was knocked heavily, but before Zhou Liang could open the door, the door was destroyed.
More than twenty police officers rushed in from outside and surrounded Lin Yi and the others, pointing guns at their heads.
The group sat on their chairs and did not make any unnecessary movements.
In a one-on-one fight, these people might not be a match for one of them if they attacked together, but the other party had guns, so the situation was different.
Bullets were no joke.
What are you doing? Is it illegal to eat here? Lin Yi said.
There have been multiple murders in the city. We suspect you of being responsible for these murders. Pleasee with us.
Alright, Im a proper businessman. If you suspect me, Ill definitely cooperate with the investigation, Lin Yi said politely.
But please put down your guns. These actions will scare my employees. They wont be able to workter.
Seeing Lin Yi raise his hand so cooperatively, the leading police officer cuffed him and heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that now there were not in any danger.
Xiao Bing and the others sitting at the table did not move.
They didnt know what Lin Yi was going to do, and he didnt give any orders, so it would not be wise to attack blindly.
Lin Yi gave Xiao Bing and the others a look, telling them to calm down.
The eight members were obedient and did not move as they watched Lin Yi being taken away by the police.
What is our leader trying to do? Why dont I understand? Shao Jianfeng muttered.
I feel like he predicted this. Zhao Yunhu said.
He was very cooperative and didnt raise any objections. Moreover, he said that we were his employees. Its obvious that he wanted to lower the polices vignce and protect us.
Xiao Bing nodded and said seriously,
Brother Lin is indeed that kind of person. He would rather put himself in danger than let the people around him get hurt.
Could he have sold himself in exchange for our safety? Zhou Liang said excitedly.
No way, I have to go and take a look.
Stop, stop, stop. Calm down, Yu Siying said.
Do you think this is a plot in a novel? Such a melodramatic plot couldnt happen to our leader.
What do you mean? Can you be clearer?
Boss probably expected what happened today before he made a move. I guess
he had a backup n. Otherwise, he wouldnt have been so brazen.
Sister Ying is right. Luo Qi thought for a moment and said,
Brother Lin must have a backup n. Its just that we dont know it yet. Dont be anxious. Lets just wait for the news.
I agree with Sister Ying and Qiqi, Xiao Bing said.
Brother Lin has money, women, status, and status. Moreover, hes only in his twenties. He still has a good life waiting for him. Its unlikely he would do something suicidal. He probably has a backup n.
After listening to their analysis, the five men looked at them in unison.
What kind of look is that? Is our analysis wrong? Yu Siying asked.
I m a little puzzled. This is the first time weve seen the team leader since our trial ended. Why do the three of you know so much about him? Zhang Chaoyue said.
Do the three of you have an unspeakable rtionship with the team leader?
Chapter 1766 - 1766 You Can’t Sanction Me
1766 You Cant Sanction Me
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
We cant wait for that to happen, but Brother Lin is ignoring us, Xiao Bing said.
If you want to me someone, me sister-inw for being too beautiful. We dont stand a chance at all. Sigh Luo Qi said.
Sigh, sigh, sigh. Thats too much. Zhou Liang said.
The ratio of men to women in Huaxia is uneven to begin with, but you guys are still throwing yourself at Boss. How can we, bachelors, endure this?
Youll have to look at your own appearance to get an answer, Xiao Bing said. Women are all animals that look at appearances.
Stop, stop, stop Sui Qiang said.
Arent you guys getting a little off track? Boss has just been taken away yet youre all busy analyzing this matter.
1 think its better to wait and see what happens. Lets see whats going on first. If we act recklessly, we might ruin Boss n, Yu Siying said.
At least for now, were safe. We can go out and take a look to see if we can find any relevant information.
Everyone fell into deep thought. Zhao Yunhu said,
What if we misunderstand this and something really ends up happening to him?
Yu Siying shrugged. Then we have no choice but to tell Boss Liu the truth. With Huaxias influence and Bosss status in the financial world, this will not be a big problem. However, I think the possibility of this being the case is slim. Otherwise, he wouldnt have be the team leader of Team 1.
I agree with Sister Ying. This deduction is not valid. Luo Qi said.
The most important thing now is to use our identities to gather as much information as possible. As for the rest, we can only take it one step at a time.
Lets go. Dont just sit here. Lets go out and investigate.
Sui Qiang called out, and everyone stood up and walked out of Lin Yis room.
At the same time, Lin Yi was brought into the police car and surrounded by six police officers.
All of them looked fierce. Not only did they not say a word, but they also did not have any expressions on their faces.
It was as if they wanted to eat someone alive.
Lin Yi felt that this scene was quite interesting.
Usually, he would go out to catch people. Now, he had actually been caught himself.
He had been the hunter for so long, but today he was the hunted
Panem City wasnt big, and half an hourter, Lin Yi was brought to the police station.
Looking at his watch, Lin Yi estimated that it wasnt time yet. He might still have to wait for a while.
When they arrived at the police station, Lin Yi was roughly brought to the interrogation room.
Then, his hands and feet were cuffed and he could not move at all.
The condition of the interrogation room left much to be desired in Lin Yis eyes, hardlyparable to even a district police station.
Lin Yi tried moving around a bit and felt that the quality of the interrogation chair was mediocre; he could probably break free with a bit of effort.
However, attempting this would be akin to courting death.
A round of gunfireter, and he would be lucky to escape with his life, likely ending up severely crippled.
Creak
The door of the interrogation room was pushed open and an older police officer walked in with a serious expression.
After seeing him, the others all showed respectful expressions.
Lin Yi nced at the man who came in. His position and name were on the his name badge.
Ivan Esquield, Chief of Police.
After entering, Ivan looked at Lin Yi and sat in front of the table.
Ive already investigated your background, the president of Lingyun Group in Zhonghai. Ivan flipped through the documents in his hand and said provocatively,
I heard that youre very famous in Huaxia?
Its nothing. My staff did all the work, Lin Yi said with a smile.
Please fix your attitude. You are now a suspect, Ivan said coldly.
Lin Yis attitude made him very unhappy.
This was his territory. No one dared to speak with such an attitude.
Alright, if theres anything you want to ask, just say it.
I want to know what you didst night.
I was at the embassy chatting with a few employees from Huaxia, Lin Yi replied calmly.
Regarding this matter, Lin Yi had already made preparations in advance, with Zhang Shuping ready to testify on his behalf.
Such indirect proof might appear insufficient, but necessary procedures still had to be followed.
I dont think that can be considered evidence, Ivan said.
You are both from Huaxia, so he would naturally side with you. This kind of indirect proof is not valid.
Then theres nothing I can do about it. We were indeed togetherst night.
Last night, several murders urred in Panem City, with a total of 28 people killed. Did you have anything to do with this?
No, you are falsely using me.
But a few days ago, there was a conflict involving yourpanys people and the management bureaus staff. All 27 of those involved were from the management bureau and had conflicts with yourpanys people. 1 believe you had a motive for murder, Ivan said.
But theres one person unrted to us. How do you exin that?
The additional person killed was one of theirpanions. You killed her too. How could that be possible? Lin Yi said calmly.
Please check the time of death. Do you think 1 can be in two ces at once? Isnt this basic logic clear to you?
Bang!
Ivan couldnt take it anymore. He mmed the table and stood up!
Watch your words. Dont force us to use forceful methods!
It doesnt matter to me what methods you use. Lin Yi looked at Ivan and said calmly.
However, before you make a move, please investigate my identity in detail. Of course, if you still think that you can remain safe after making a move on me, you dly do so. Otherwise, I dont know what will happen to you.
You!
Ivan stomped his feet in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
What Lin Yi said made sense. He could interrogate him, but he couldnt use force. That would cause trouble for himself.
Dont get so angry. Theres an old saying in Huaxia. Its bad for your health to be angry. You wont earn much from this job, so its not good to be overly angry.
It doesnt matter if you dont admit it. I have ten thousand ways to deal with you! Ill let you see how powerful you really are!
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Thats scary.
Youd better tell us the truth, or itll be hard for you to walk away from us!
Lin Yi spread his hands and said fearlessly,
Ive already told you. This has nothing to do with me. Why dont you believe me?
Ivans face was cold, and his anger seemed to be burning!
Lock him up!
Yes!
Under Ivans orders, the two police officers who walked over undid Lin Yis restraints and took him away.
But when he passed Ivan, Lin Yi whispered,
Its useless for you to interrogate me with such an attitude. To tell you the truth, I was the one who killed them, but you dont have any evidence, so I can only apologize. You cant punish me..
Chapter 1767 - 1767 The Rules of Prison Number 7
1767 The Rules of Prison Number 7
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis words made Ivan clench his fists.
Driven by his anger, the muscles on his face trembled!
Take him to Prison Number 7!
Hearing the mention of Prison Number 7, the police officers responsible for escorting Lin Yi froze in shock.
Their expressions turned grim, as if they had heard something terrifying. Chief Ivan, Prison Number 7 houses extremely dangerous criminals. He is currently just a suspect. Isnt it inappropriate to detain him there? Whats inappropriate?! Ivan roared.
Hes killed so many people. Theres nothing more suitable for him than Prison 7!
Got it. Well bring him over now.
Under Ivans orders, Lin Yi was taken away.
However, during this process, the two police officers no longer looked fierce.
Instead, they said in a calm tone,
You can arrange yourst words. After entering Prison Number 7,1 dont think
you will survive for more than a week.
Lin Yi understood the unspoken rules here and said calmly,
Are you saying that theres no way out of Prison Number 7?
Its just the way it is. That ce is full ofwless individuals who are very wealthy and capable of anything. I know youre powerful and rich, but in Prison Number 7, many inmates are richer than you and fear nothing. Even we hesitate to get too close to it.
Isnt this a case of vendetta? Lin Yi said:
The things Ive done surely dont warrant being locked up there, do they? Theres nothing I can do; youve angered Mr. Ivan. Of course, if you admit to the murders, I believe you wouldnt end up in Prison Number 7.
Lin Yi remained silent, indifferent to which prison he was sent to. Alice and the others should be arriving soon.
He only needed to find a ce to wait for a while.
Ten minutester, the three of them had walked a few hundred meters.
Lin Yi saw a brick wall in front of him.
On top of the wall sat a one-meter-tall reem of barbed wire. One could even
hear the sound of electric currents passing through it.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that such a ce was impregnable.
Lin Yi had only seen a prison like this in movies before.
He had never thought that one day, he woulde to a ce like this to experience life.
This is Prison Number 7. Go in and stay there.
The metal door opened and Lin Yi was pushed in.
The area of the prison was half the size of a football field. There were about 70 people inside. Wherever one looked, there was a lifeless destion.
In Prison Number 7, everyone was locked up together.
The old saying goes, Where there are people, there are societies.
This applies just as well to Prison Number 7.
Where there were people, there were conflicts.
In Prison Number 7, fights and brawls weremon urrences, and every now and then, bodies were carried out.
The guards only verbally reprimanded the inmates, daring not to say too much. Otherwise, their family members might meet untimely deaths the next day.
But beyond these grim realities, there were some things that starkly contrasted Lin Yis expectations.
The prison had gazebos, electric fans, and even a small swimming pool. More surprisingly, there were even a few women walking around in bikinis. Lin Yi found this quite shocking.
This was f*cking luxurious for a prison.
When Lin Yi came in, everyone was also looking at him.
It had been more than half a year since a neer came to Prison Number 7.
Boss, that seems to be the person Ivan sent.
There were six or seven people standing beside the pavilion, and two women in bikinis were flirting with each other.
At the foot of the gazeboy a half-naked man, bby and tattooed, enjoying the services of a bikini-d beauty.
The mans name was Hassad. He was the worlds most notorious drug lord.
Before he was brought in, more than 30% of the contraband in the world had flowed through him.
Countless people had died at his hands. At the same time, it had also brought him wealth that could rival a country.
Although Lin Yi was rich, he was still a littleckingpared to Hassad at his peak.
Otherwise, he would not have received such treatment here.
Hassad sat up at his subordinates words. He took off his sunsses and said indifferently.
Go get him. I want to talk to him.
The subordinate walked more than ten meters forward and waved at Lin Yi. Huaxian,e here.
At the sound of someone calling his name, the leering men turned to look at Hassad.
They felt that things were not looking good.
What does Hassad want to do? Is he trying to recruit him?
Its unlikely. Hes a Huaxia person and not exactly in shape. Hassad wouldnt be interested in him.
Thats good news. If he were trying to recruit him, there would be no spots left for this month.
Hearing someone call his name, Lin Yi looked towards a ck man not far away, Are you talking to me?
Our boss is calling for you. Come here for a moment.
Lin Yi didnt think too much about it. He walked towards the ck man and stopped in front of Hassad.
Huaxian, how did you get in? Hassad sat cross-legged on the beach bed and sized Lin Yi up with a scrutinizing gaze.
He felt that this Huaxian must have done something unforgivable. Otherwise, Ivan wouldnt have asked him to take care of him.
I also want to know why I was arrested for no reason, Lin Yi shrugged. I take it you had a run-in with Ivan, or he wouldnt have put you here. I dont know what he is thinking.
Im sorry to have to tell you this isnt the best ce to be. I need to take care of you, said Hassad.
Thats the rule of Prison Number 7- Everyone whoes here has to follow it. Hmm? What rules? Do I need to pay homage to some kind of authority here? Dont be anxious. Youll knowter.
Hassad gave the ck man a look. The man took the hint and left quietly. When he returned a few minutester with a knife in his hand, Hassad said, ording to the rules, you leave one of your hands behind, and then you can stay in Prison Number 7 for a long time.
Lin Yi couldnt help butugh a little, Is that your rule?
Of course, you can also choose to do it yourself. Thats your right. Were very democratic around here.
Thats probably not going to work for me. I dont want to leave here missing an arm or a leg.
But this is Prison Number 7- Once youre here, its not up to you anymore, Hassad said calmly.
Also, dont even think about leaving. Its easy to get in, but very hard to get out. You might as well make your choice now, its too hot to waste time..
Chapter 1768 - 1768 Feed the Fish
1768 Feed the Fish
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand.
That wont do. I cant follow your rules. Its better to y by yourself. 111 leave
first.
Seeing Lin Yi turn around and leave, the people standing elsewhere were stunned for a moment beforeughing gloatingly.
Does he think this is Huaxia that he can do whatever he wants? I think hell die
a horrible death.
He did this because hes a Huaxian and doesnt know the rules here.
Mr Hassad has given the order. How dare he walk away? Such an act in the
Prison Number 7 will surely infuriate Hassad.
As expected, Hassads expression changed after Lin Yi took a few steps.
His subordinates rushed out and blocked Lin Yis path.
Lin Yi also stopped and looked back at Hassad.
What are you nning?
Do you think this is your home? You dont even listen to me, Hassad. Im afraid you dont know what Prison Number 7 is.
No matter where this ce is, it has nothing to do with me. Lin Yi looked at him and narrowed his eyes. As for you, you better behave yourself.
Thud!
Hassad dropped the sunsses he was holding.
No wonder Ivan called me and asked me to take care of you personally. Youre indeed a disobedient person. In that case, I wont be able to solve the problem with one hand.
Mr Hassad, dont waste your breath on him. Let me teach him a lesson.
Its better if 1 do it. I havent fought anyone in more than a month.
Ill cut off both his hands and make him pay!
Before Hassads men could do anything, the others in Prison Number 7 volunteered to rush up, hoping to teach Lin Yi a lesson.
Lin Yi didnt understand why these people were so enthusiastic.
However, in Lin Yis eyes, the fanaticism on their faces was like a sick party.
Violence and blood were their spiritual food.
Dont fight with me for this opportunity. Let me do it.
As everyone was volunteering, a bald man walked out from the back of the crowd.
The other party was tall and had dark skin. Only his teeth were white.
He was wearing a pair of tattered gray shorts and stepping barefoot on the hot sand.
He stood behind Lin Yi, towering at two meters tall. A huge shadow enveloped him, malting him look like a ck monster.
The mans name was Shabra. He was from Feizhou but had moved to Panem many years ago.
Later on, he was locked up here for robbing a bank and killing more than ten people.
The noise stopped abruptly when Shabra stepped forward.
Everyone knew his skills very well. He was the strongest person in Prison Number 7. Now that he had stood up, no one dared topete with him.
Hassad looked at Shabra, then at the others.
Is there anyone else who wants topete with him for this opportunity?
No one said anything, acting as if they had given up on this opportunity.
Although there were others with better skills than Shabra, no one wanted topete against him for this opportunity.
Since there was an opportunity every month, they could always try next time. There was no need to fight to the point of breaking heads.
Since no one wants topete with him, Ill give this opportunity to Shabra.
Thank you, Mr Hassad.
Hassad was smiling, enjoying the fruit fed to him by the bikini-d beauty. He said lightly,
Ill leave him to you. After you get rid of him, you cane and work for me in
the future.
Thank you, Mr. Hassad. Ill cherish this opportunity.
There are two crocodiles in the pool. They havent eaten in a long time. Go feed them something.
Very well, Mr Hassad.
Shabra said respectfully and turned to look at Lin Yi.
Huaxian, now, let me tell you the rules of Prison Number 7.
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully. No wonder no one went down to swim. It turns out there were two crocodiles inside.
Dont be anxious. Youll see them soon. Im sure today will be quite
unforgettable for you.
With that, Shabra swung his fist at Lin Yi.
Lin Yis body retreated, easily dodging his attack!
At the same time, he took advantage of the opening the other party revealed and kicked his knee firmly!
Ah!
Screams could be heard, apanied by the sound of bones cracking.
Shabra immediately knelt on the ground. His right leg was twisted in an extremely strange posture. It was so painful that his face turned pale. He rolled on the ground and could not stand up!
How could this be?!
Everyone, including Hassad, froze.
No one expected this Huaxian to be able to defeat Shabra!
And he had only used one move!
Lin Yi squatted down, grabbed Shabras ankle, and dragged him to the edge of the pool like a piece of trash!
Two crocodiles measuring more than two meters long were lurking underwater as if they were waiting for prey.
No, dont, you cant do this!
Why not? Isnt that the rule of Prison Number 7? Im just following the rules.
There shouldnt be a problem, right?
Lin Yi didnt even think about it as he threw Shabra in! in an instant, there was a huge ssh in the swimming pool, and the two crocodiles lunged at Shabra.
As for thetter, because his kneecap was shattered, his struggles were useless. He could only wail loudly, but to no avail.
A few minutester, the swimming pool was dyed red, and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood.
Prison Number 7 was extremely quiet. Everyones eyes were focused on Lin Yi.
No one expected him to defeat Shabra and do such a thing.
This seemingly simple man was much stronger than they had imagined. It was definitely not a coincidence that he was locked up in Prison Number 7.
Hassad reevaluated Lin Yi.
His expression was not very good either. He had already been embarrassed. I have to say, among the Huaxians Ive seen, your skills are second. So lets mind our own business and ignore each other. Im just here for a walk. Ill be leaving in a while. I dont want to cause trouble.
But 1 just said that you wont be able to leave Prison Number 7. Besides, you killed Shabra in front of me. I dont want to let you off easily.
Mr Hassad, these people are a little unreliable. Id better do it.
The ck man who had called Lin Yi before said.
Hassad nodded. Im going to take both his hands and make him regret his recent decision.
Okay.
The ck man walked towards Lin Yi.
Prison Number 7 is a very dangerous ce. Youre not obedient, so itll be very difficult for you to survive here in the future because Ill break both your hands.
With that, the ck man shed at Lin Yi with the knife in his hand!
Chapter 1769 - 1769You Were Tricked By Him
1769You Were Tricked By Him
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor EndlessFantasy Trantion
F*ck!
Lin Yi cursed, F*ck, we agreed to fight one-on-one. What the f*ck are you doing with a weapon? You really dont care about morals.
Hassads men didnt care that much.
Or rather, no one who lived here cared about fairness.
As long as they could defeat the other party, they would win.
Soon, the ck man rushed over.
But in Lin Yis eyes, he was only slightly stronger than the person called
Shabra.
From Lin Yis perspective, there was almost no difference between them.
With a slight turn of his body, Lin Yi dodged the opponents attack.
The ck man staggered, then turned around and swung his de, blocking
Lin Yis attack path. He was very experienced inbat.
However, this alone was far from enough to fight Lin Yi.
Lin Yis big hand reached out at an odd angle and urately grabbed the ck mans wrist, bending it upwards!
Ah!
The ck man let out a scream and the knife in his hand fell to the ground!
Lin Yi picked it up, grabbed the ck mans cor, and stabbed him in the abdomen!
You!
Thetter covered his wound and widened his eyes.
He had never thought that he would be defeated by a Huaxian!
Your level doesnt seem to be that good.
Letting go of the ck mans cor, thetter staggered and fell to the ground. Although he would not die so soon, he had already lost hisbat strength. He was dumbfounded!
Seeing Riggs being beaten to the ground, no one dared to make a sound.
He was the most skilled person by Hassads side, but he was actually defeated by this man!
This meant that there was no one here who could beat him.
Many people were secretly afraid. If the person who went up just now was not
Shabra, then they would have been the ones being treated as fish food!
Lin Yi looked up at Hassad. Do you still want to continue provoking me?
Hassads eyes narrowed like a vicious cobras.
Youre testing my patience.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hassad took out a gun from his back and aimed it at Lin Yis head!
Huaxian, kneel down. 1 can consider taking you in as my subordinate.
Otherwise, Ill kill you!
That thing doesnt scare me. 1 suggest you save your energy.
Everyone was shocked. How could he say such words when a gun was pointed at his head? Was he really not afraid of death?
My patience is limited. Ive already given you a chance, but you didnt grasp it.
Im going to make a move!
BANG!
Hassad pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Just as everyone thought that the Huaxian in front of them would be killed with a single shot, they realized that he had actually dodged the bullet!
How is this possible? Is God here?!
Crazy!
Seeing Lin Yi dodge the bullet, everyone in Prison Number 7 fell into a manic state!
How did he do it! Only the devil could do such a thing, or God!
Hassad panicked when he saw Lin Yi dodge the bullet!
He had never seen anyone who could do such a thing!
Step by step!
Lin Yi walked towards Hassad!
Thetter looked even more flustered and pulled the trigger several more times!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The orange-red fire spurted out from the muzzle. Everyone who saw this thought that Lin Yi would die for sure!
However, they did not expect him to dodge all the bullets!
Devil! Hes a devil! A devil from the East!
Amidst everyones terrified screams, Lin Yi walked up to Hassad and looked down at him, kicking him off the beach bed!
This time, Hassad didnt dare to argue with Lin Yi anymore. He knelt on the ground in fear.
Dont do it, dont do it
If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first ce?
Lin Yi sat on the beach bed and ate the fruits on his te.
I know what youre thinking. You want to call the police over and kill me.
No, no, no, I had no such thoughts, Hassad quickly exined.
But let me tell you, if there was a way to deal with me, Ivan would have done it long ago. He wouldnt have called you. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to use you. Lin Yi said.
And I have to tell you that luckily 1 was fine just now. You wouldnt have lived more than a week if I had been even slightly injured. You were yed by Ivan. Lin Yis words convinced Hassad.
He did not believe that a man like this would be an ordinary person in the outside world.
Just like what this man said, if Ivan was capable, he would have done it himself and not had Hassad deal with it!
You damned thing! Im going to kill you!
Alright, I want to rest for a while. Dont disturb me.
Alright, alright, alright. You can rest first.
Outside the police station, two ck Bentleys stopped in front of the police station.
A few blond foreigners got out of the car.
Everyone was dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking unusually formal.
The person walking at the front was the general manager of Microsoft, Alice.
The few people standing behind her were the bestwyers in Meiguo. They had all rushed here for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had arranged for them before he made a move.
The locals were the most loyal bootlickers in Meiguo. After such a thing happened, it was most appropriate to ask Alice to deal with it.
Other than that, as long as he gave them some benefits, this matter could be easily resolved.
This was why Lin Yi dared to attack openly. He had already seen through their nature.
When they arrived at the police station, Alice found the chief and negotiated with him for an hour. Then, they reached an agreement without any suspense.
No one here could resist the temptation of money nor the oppression of Meiguo.
After the negotiations between the two sides ended, Ivan, who was in the office, quickly received instructions from his superiors.
When he received the notice, he was so angry that he cursed!
What the hell is happening?! He said that guy didnt kill anyone!
In the office, Ivan was so angry that he threw his cell phone to the ground!
Mr. Ivan, what happened? One of his men asked.
The leader said that the Huaxian was wronged and that the murderer has been found.
How is that possible? He has sufficient motive to kill. How could there be other murderers?
I said the same thing, but the boss insisted that the murderer had turned himself in and ordered us to release the detainee. Damn, that really sucks! He really got off easy!
Fortunately, I had them locked up in Prison Number 7 earlier. Hes probably been beaten into a pulp. 1 guess that serves as a lesson to him, Ivan said.
If the boss finds out hes been beaten to a pulp, wont he be angry?
What does that have to do with me? It was the people inside Prison Number 7 who did it, Ivan said nonchntly..
Chapter 1770 - 1770 The Slowly Unfolding Revenge Plan
1770 The Slowly Unfolding Revenge n
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Youre right. It really has nothing to do with you. Someone as arrogant as him should be left to Prison Number 7s Hassad to be dealt with.
Ivan picked up his hat and lit another cigarette.
Lets go. Follow me to check. Im a little curious about how badly he was beaten.
Im also a little curious.
The two of them packed up briefly and walked towards Prison Number 7.
Ten minutester, the door was pushed open and Ivan walked in with his men.
However, he was surprised to find that the people in Prison Number 7 were all gathered together. They were not moving separately as usual.
The two of them were a little surprised and walked towards the crowd.
When they were about twenty meters away, they were unexpectedly greeted by the sight of Hassad standing off to the side.
Ivan was very surprised; he knew Hassads strength and status well. In Prison Number 7, Hassad was the top dog, so why would he be standing with others like this?
Mr Hassad, Ivan is here!
Hassad turned at the sound of voices and saw Ivan standing nearby!
Immediately, a ferocious look appeared on his face!
If it wasnt for him, his rtionship with this Huaxia man wouldnt be so poor!
He would not have been embarrassed in front of everyone!
In contrast to Hassads anger, Ivans expression was one of confusion as he stood rooted to the spot, his expression exaggerated.
He saw Lin Yi lying on a beach chair with a rxed expression with a woman feeding him fruits beside him!
Most importantly, he was not injured at all!
What the hell is going on?! Ivan went over and said.
Why is he still here in one piece?!
Hassad didnt answer. Instead, he stormed towards Ivan and pped him hard across the face.
Ivan was stunned, but he was afraid of Hassads identity and status, so he did not dare to fight back.
Mr. Hassad, what the hell is going on?
You have the nerve to say that?! said Hassad angrily.
You actually want me to help you with someone you cant handle yourself? Are you trying to kill me?
How is that possible? Weve been friends for many years. Why would I want to harm you?!
Ive never met many men as powerful as he is in my life. Theres no one here who can stand up to him! said Hassad excitedly.
If he wants to, hed kill everyone here!
Ivan and his men were stunned. No one had expected this Huaxia man to be so skilled!
Even Hassad was no match for him!
Your temper is really good. He harmed you so badly, but you can still talk to him calmly. If it were me, 1 wouldnt be like this.
F*ck!
Hassad swore and kicked Ivan again!
Beat him up and avenge Mr. Lin!
No, dont
Ivans face was pale as he retreated.
However, the people from Prison Number 7 rushed towards him like crazy. They punched and kicked him using all their strength!
Even though Ivan was an official, these people showed no mercy, and no one came to stop them!
Because everyone outside knew who the inmates of Prison Number 7!
Knowing how terrifying Hassad was, no one dared to stop him.
Stop, stop fighting
Amidst the flurry of punches and kicks, Ivan held his head and begged for mercy.
By the time everyone stopped, he was already bruised and swollen, and his appearance was hard to see.
At the same time, Lin Yi walked over and looked down at him.
Didnt you want to find someone to take revenge on me? Why are you in such a sorry state?
I-I didnt want to take revenge on you. Please tell them to stop hitting me. Ill let you out now.
Didnt you say that Im a murderer? It must be against the rules to let me out so casually, right?
The murderer has turned himself in. Youre innocent. Ive wronged you. Im here to bring you out, Ivan said with a trembling voice.
Please dont hit me again. 1 wont do it again.
If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first ce?
With that, Lin Yi walked towards the door.
When he arrived at the entrance of the office building, he found Alice and her legal team, who had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing Lin Yi, Alice walked over immediately and gave him a big hug. Then, she looked at him for a long time.
Mr. Lin, youre finally out. They didnt do anything to you, right?
They couldnt even if they wanted to.
Lin Yi smiled at Alice. Its all thanks to your help. Without you, I would have had to spend a lot of effort.
Its what I should do. Mr. Lin, dont stand on ceremony with me.
Lets go. This is not the ce to talk.
Okay.
The two of them walked out of the building and saw Xiao Bing and Shao Jianfeng jogging towards them.
Brother Lin, youre out!
The two of them originally wanted to inquire about the situation here and then figure out what to do.
However, they didnt expect Lin Yi toe out before they could find out anything.
Both of them were pleasantly surprised.
Are you surprised? Lin Yi said casually, Its impossible for them to trap me.
Xiao Bing was overjoyed.
Im d youre out of there. Its a good thing we didnt act on impulse, or wed have ruined your n.
Alright, this is not the ce to talk. Lets go back first.
Lin Yi wanted to deal with the problem regarding the goods, but it was already past five in the afternoon, so he could only continue tomorrow.
That night, everyone gathered together again. Lin Yi arranged a meal to thank Alice and the others.
After dinner, Lin Yi returned to his room and stood by the window in a daze.
The series of events unfolding before him seemed odd to Lin Yi.
The source of all the conflicts was the Panem Canal Authority.
Yet, upon closer examination, their actions didnt seem particrly problematic. They werent intentionally making things difficult; in fact, they were quite cooperative in handling various tasks.
Although some of their methods were overly aggressive, a significant part of the reason seemed to be rooted in racial discrimination. They did not seem to want to have a direct confrontation with him.
Lin Yi couldnt shake the feeling that behind the scenes, some unseen force was subtly pulling the strings.
Huaxia, Yanjing, the Wang familys vi.
Wang Tingshan, who had just finished his breakfast, received a call from Chen Guanjie.
Hows the situation over there?
Lin Yi killed 28 people. The police targeted Lin Yi, but they didnt do anything to him. Microsoft came with a top-notch legal team and easily resolved the crisis, Chen Guanjie said.
My guess is that hes going to deal with the shipment tomorrow, so Ive put the word out. Those deranged bastards will probably be in Panem soon. The show is finally about to begin..
Chapter 1771 - 1771 Undercurrent Surges
1771 Undercurrent Surges
Trantor EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Yanjing, General Staff Departments courtyard.
Lu Beichen sat in the courtyard drinking tea. Not far away, he could hear the sound of training on the field.
Liang Xianghe sat opposite him, drinking tea and ying chess.
Are we just going to leave Lin Yi alone, Chief? Liang Xianghe said.
I have a lot of things on my hands and dont have time to bother with him. Lu Beichen said.
Whats going on over there? 1 heard that theres a problem with their business?
While ying chess, Liang Xianghe briefly told Lu Beichen about what had happened in Panem.
If thats the case, its a little strange. Those people from the management bureau are deliberately targeting Lin Yi.
I know, right? 1 have a feeling that theres something fishy going on. But Lingyun Group hasnt really made a big move internationally yet The people who had conflicts with them in the past have all been dealt with Moreover, I cant figure out what kind of force couldpel the Canal Authority to act in such a manner.
Its indeed a little strange. Lu Beichen pondered.
There are two possibilities. Liang Xianghe analyzed calmly.
First, the Canal Authority acted ording to the rules and then withheld the goods.
If thats the case, with Lin Yis ability, he can handle it himself. Lu Beichen said.
After all, those guys will always follow the money. As long as the money is in ce, theres no issue that cant be solved. Most importantly, after dragging it out for so long, although they have reason and evidence, its still suspicious for this matter to still remain open.
Then only the second possibility can hold true. Theres a mastermind behind this. Liang Xianghe said.
Almost all of Lin Yis businesses are in Huaxia. Even if the photolithography machine and chip projects open up a portion of the international market, they dont pose a threat to international capital. If someone is really behind this I suspect that they might be from Huaxia.
Lu Beichen was about to ce his piece when his hand suddenly paused.
Are you suspecting the Wang family?
I dont really want to suspect them either, but it seems like theres really no one else besides them.
Wang Mians leg was broken by Lin Yi and hes now a cripple. They have a motive for this. Lu Beichen said.
However, after the incidentst year, the Wang familys power is not as great as before. Do they really have the guts to do such a thing?
This is also what I suspect. It feels a little contradictory. Liang Xianghe said. Wang Mians leg was broken, and the Wang family has be theughing stock of the other families. However, they did not retaliate or respond Its as if they have epted their fate. This is not in line with Wang Tingshans personality.
I understand what you mean. Thats why Ive been following the Wang familys movements since the newyear. However, theyve continued to follow the rules and didnt do anything out of line. After such a long time, things still look calm. This is quite intriguing.
Liang Xianghe didnt say anything. This evaluation seemed urate.
The two of them could not figure out the truth of this matter.
Chief!
Just as the atmosphere was in a deadlock, Lu Beichens guard jogged over with a phone in his hand.
Chief, its a call.
Looking at the name on it, he realized that it was Liu Hong. Lu Beichen quickly picked up the call.
Chief, are you in the courtyard? 1 have something urgent to report to you. Ill be there soon.
Im here. Come over.
Okay.
A few minutes after hanging up, Liu Hong stopped his car in front of Lu Beichen.
Whats the matter? It sounds urgent.
ording to reliable sources, some forces outside the country are moving towards Panem. They might have discovered traces of Bass ores. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a hugemotion.
Theyre all going to Panem?!
Hearing this news, the two of them could not sit still.
Because Lin Yi was over there!
Seeing that Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghes expressions were not quite right Liu Hong probed,
Chief, did something happen?
Lin Yi and Team 1 are both in Panem.
Liu Hong.???
This news came as a surprise to him.
Could he have heard the news in advance?
Liu Hong knew Lin Yi well. He knew that Lin Yis movements were unpredictable. It wouldnt be strange if he went to Panem himself.
However, it was very strange that the entire Team 1 had also gone there. He went to Panem to deal with personal issues. He had nothing to do with this.
Lu Beichen replied nonchntly because his thoughts were upied by another matter.
He and Liang Xianghe were both thinking about a problem.
The other forces had all rushed to Panem. Could it be rted to the conflict between Lin Yi and the Management Bureau?
Chief? How should we handle this matter? Liu Hong probed.
Should we send Team 2 and Team 3 to help?
Not for now. Lu Beichen said.
The news from overseas hasnt been confirmed yet. Theres no need to make a big fuss. Lin Yi is still dealing with his private matters. If you send Team 2 and Team 3 over, with Lin Yis fearless personality, he might just burn the whole ce down.
Then do you want to wait and see?
Lu Beichen nodded and yed with the chess piece in his hand. Tell Lin Yi about this and let him prepare.
Okay, Ill take care of it.
After reporting to Lu Beichen about the movements outside the country, Liu Hong drove away.
However, their expressions were not very good.
Chief, do you think these matters are connected?
Based on past experience, there shouldnt be any connection. Lu Beichen said.
The people abroad, they act with strong intentions: terrorism, money, and minerals, said Lu Beichen, summing up the possible motives.
Liang Xianghe nodded in agreement.
Of those three motives, Lin Yi only fits one, but the amount of money involved isnt significant enough for these people to mobilize such efforts; it might just be a coincidence.
If thats the case, then the problem isnt too serious, Liang Xianghe remarked:
With so many days passed, the issues concerning hispany have probably been mostly resolved. They can seamlessly transition to the next task and, at the same time, get some practice for one of the teams.
Panem City, Lin Yis phone rang at one in the morning.
He picked up the phone and was about to scold the caller when he realized that the person who called was not He Yuanyuan.
Its early in the morning. Its very immoral to call at this time!
Kid, dont sleep yet. I have something serious to tell you. Liu Hong said seriously.
ording to reliable sources, arge number of foreigners have arrived in Panem City. Pay attention to their movements. If you have any information, contact me immediately..
Chapter 1772 - 1772 Clouds of Suspicion
1772 Clouds of Suspicion
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor. EndlessFantasy Trantion
Huh?
Liu Hongs words made Lin Yi immediately wake up.
Did they detect Bass ore?
Thats still unclear. Liu Hong said.
I heard from Elder Lu that you brought Team 1 to Panem to handle yourpanys matters. Divert some fores and keep an eye on the situation there. If you need support, call me in advance. 111 send Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo over.
Other than that, is there any other news? Lin Yi said.
-Does the Central Guards Brigade have a clear target, or rather, a suspect?
Theres nothing. Liu Hong said in a deep voice.
I just found out about arge group of people moving in the direction of Panem. I cant guess what theyre going to do.
That also means that it might not be about the minerals, but rather something rted to him that brought them to Panem, right?
Theres that possibility, Liu Hong said.
But the there is a lot of movement this time. We have to make appropriate measures.
1 got it.
After hanging up on Liu Hong, Lin Yi couldnt fall asleep.
This news was a little unexpected to him.
The information from the Central Guards Brigade couldnt be wrong, so the problem must be in Panem itself.
However, Panem was calm now and nothing suspicious had happened. What was the purpose of these peopleing here?
Even if the ore really did appear, whose hands would it be in?
Thinking about these questions, Lin Yi did not sleep the entire night.
He did not close his eyes until the sky was bright. By then, cigarette butts littered the ground.
This project had already made Lin Yi suspicious.
But now, the matter on his side had yet to be resolved, and there was now foreign unrest.
It made the already chaotic situation even more confusing.
Motherf*cker!
He stood up and cursed. Lin Yi stretched and went to the bathroom to wash up.
He still had work to doter.
At eight oclock in the morning, everyone washed up and gathered in the hotel restaurant.
Lin Yi ryed the contents of Liu Hongs call to the eight people in the team.
This made the eight of them nervous.
This would be their first official mission since joining the Central Guards
Brigade.
Sui Qiang, Siying, you two bring Xiao Bing, Chao, Yun Hu, and Jianfeng to investigate this matter. If you need anything, call Boss Liu. They will fully support you, Lin Yi said while eating.
The rest of you,e with me.
Yes!
Everyone replied in a low voice.
After the meal, everyone split into two groups. Lin Yi brought Luo Qi and Zhou Liang to deal with thepanys matters. The rest were sent to investigate the foreign forces.
Lin Yi drove to the embassy and picked up Chen Qingfeng.
Seeing Lin Yi appear in front of him safe and sound, Chen Qingfeng felt like a lifetime had passed.
Yesterday, he received news that Lin Yi had been captured by the Panem government. He thought that he would have a slim chance of survival, so he did not expect to appear in front of him safe and sound the next day.
President Lin, are you alright? Chen Qingfeng probed.
Im fine, arent I? Dont I look like Im alright? Lin Yi waved his hand and smiled.
Get in the car. Ill have to trouble you toe with us today.
This is a small matter. Whether its for public or private reasons, its what we should do.
Chen Qingfeng got into the car and sat in the back seat. He probed, President Lin, there are no outsiders here. 1 want to know if you Actually, it doesnt matter who killed him. What matters is that the problem is solved. Thats more important than anything else, dont you think?
Um
Chen Qingfeng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Lin Yi had already said so much. If he still didnt understand, he would be a fool.
Chen Qingfengs heart beat faster as he recalled the negotiations the day before.
President Lin looked gentle on the surface, so he did not expect him to do such a thing. He was really too ruthless.
He had underestimated him.
After driving for an hour, they arrived at the port of Boba.
After the conflict, Lingyun Groups goods were transported here.
However, with the intervention of the Huaxia government, the people from the Canal Administration did not touch the goods.
It was this very reason that made Lin Yi feel that their actions, while seemingly normal, seem excessively aggressive.
This was Lin Yis frsutration.
You could argue its just regr business behavior, yet their approach seems somewhat over the line.
You could specte there was some conspiracy at y, but then again, nothing overtly suspicious has urred.
All along, they had been contact with official personnel to discuss these matters, and no significant faults can be identified in their methods.
F*ck!
The car drove to the designated location. Chen Qingfeng was in charge of negotiating with the people at the port and preparing to count the goods on the ship.
This was necessary since they had to gain official approval before the inspection could begin.
Lin Yi looked ahead. Other than the huge port, there was also a huge dock not far away.
ording to Chen Qingfeng, Lingyun Groups cargo ship was parked there.
The inspection would also be carried out thereter.
After more than ten minutes of negotiation, Chen Qingfeng brought two staff members over to check the batch of goods from Lingyun Group.
Are you the boss of Lingyun Group?
A staff member said when he saw Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nced at the name tag of the person who spoke. His name was Mahra.
Thats me. Whats the matter?
Everyone in the security office is dead. We feel that this matter has something to do with you. Youre the murderer!
Lin Yi was speechless.
Indeed, foreigners had strange thoughts.
This guy had actually used him to his face. It was very interesting. Chen Qingfeng was also a little embarrassed. Then, he smiled helplessly. He had been here for more than a year and knew the straightforward personality of the local people. They were not smart at all.
If this person appeared in Huaxia, the grass on his grave would probably be more than two meters tall.
The murderer has already turned himself in. Why are you still suspecting me? -We think that youre the one who found a scapegoat, and that youre the one who killed the people from the security office! Mahra said with a straight face, with a look of hatred.
If it wasnt for his work, he would not have cooperated with the inspection.
Lin Yi smiled and wasnt angry.
So you firmly believe that 1 killed your colleague, right?
Yes! Mahra said resolutely.
Because you have a motive. It cant be anyone else. You can fool others, but you cant fool us.
Theyre just your colleagues, not your family. You dont have to be so agitated. Lin Yi patted his shoulder earnestly.
Otherwise, who knows if you can survive until tomorrow morning..
Chapter 1773 - 1773 There’s a Problem with the Goods
1773 Theres a Problem with the Goods
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Luo Qi and Zhou Liang both shivered.
He was extremely d that he lived in Huaxia where no one dared to say such things.
However, in such a capitalistic country, money represented everything.
Mahra looked at Lin Yi with fear in his eyes.
Thats why I said, dont be too impulsive. You have to think about yourself more.
As he spoke, Lin Yi took out a hundred dors from his pocket and ced it in Mahras hand.
Thankyou, Mr. Lin.
They watched as Lin Yi settled the matter with a hundred dors.
Luo Qi and Zhou Liang suddenly felt that this was a sick country.
Whether it was human life or societal righteousness, it all bowed to money.
As long as there was money, they could dictate terms to you, and you had to meet them with a smile, grateful for the wonderful life theyve provided. Take us to see the goods. If there are no issues, I will pursue this matter thoroughly.
Youll need to discuss this with the leadership. Were just employees here; we cant take responsibility for too much.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded. He didnt make things difficult for him and asked as he walked.
Has this ever happened before?
Of course. And every year there are a lot of people trying to smuggle in something illegal in this way.
But youre only the management of the canal. If a merchant ship passes through here, you dont have the right to do such a thing, right? Youre right, but we can make a profit this way, Mahra said.
When someone reports it, we bring the merchant ships here for inspection.
Then, merchants pay our fees. For us, this is a sizeable ie.
Lin Yi and the others nodded subconsciously. They finally understood the reason. It was a gray industrial chain that couldnt be easily exposed.
But 1 really want to know who reported us.
Mahra shrugged. We dont know about that. We only did it because we got a tip.
So, if we find out that theres nothing wrong with our goods, we wontpensate you while you also wont give us any exnation either, right? Yes, thats our right under the Maritime Transportation Act.
Lin Yi felt a pang of emotion; it was indeed a lucrative business without initial capital.
Many of the worlds cargo ships had to pass through this ce, giving them a position of power, as merchants truly had no other choice.
At that moment, Chen Qingfeng interjected,
tor the past decade, our country has been developing a global railwaywork precisely to break such patterns and monopolies.
Lin Yi nodded. He had heard some things about this from Liang Ruoxu. More than 90 percent of global trade was concentrated in maritime shipping. The overlord of the sea was Meiguo. They firmly controlled the resources in this area. If Huaxia wanted to get involved and break through the current power structure, it would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens. Therefore, they had to start setting up the railway transport system as soon as possible.
Although transport costs would increase, transport time would be reduced by two thirds, thereby greatly boosting the speed of world trade and serving as a powerful tool for breaking the pattern of world trade.
A few minutester, the group arrived at the dock.
Seeing the cargo ship of the Lingyun Group, it was like a steel behemoth lying quietly on the mountain road.
That indescribable shock could only be experienced personally when one saw it in person.
Mr. Lin, this is the relevant document. Take a look. If theres no problem, sign
Were going to start checking the goods.
Taking the document from Mahra, Lin Yi inspected it carefully.
There was nothing wrong with the content, but if they really found contraband, the officials would have to confiscate it and he would have to pay an astronomical fine.
To Lin Yi, this was nothing.
From another perspective, if they were the ones who drafted the contract, the content might be even more ruthless than this.
After reading the content, Lin Yi signed his name and the inspection officially began.
The four of them stood aside and saw something that looked like an arch. The arch slowly moved to the side of the ship and prepared to start scanning and checking the cargo on the ship.
However, it was rtively slow. It could only move a few meters a minute.
When checking such a huge cargo ship, Lin Yi estimated that it would take at least an hour to check everything.
Standing at the side, Zhou Liang lit a cigarette.
learn Leader, did Lingyun Group offend someone? Is that why they yed such a small trick?
I cant rule out that possibility, but I cant think of who it is for the time being.
That was what he said, but in Lin Yis heart, he had a suspect.
These goods were stolen from the Wang family. Coupled with the fact that he had crippled Wang Mians legs, the hatred between the two sides could be said to be boundless.
In the entire country, only the Wang family had the motive to do such a thing.
However, he could not figure out why the Wang family was doing this.
Was it just to waste his time and money to annoy him?
With the Wang Familys magnanimity and pride, even if they went downhill now, they wouldnt do such a thing, because it was too degrading.
Furthermore, it would not achieve their goal of taking revenge on him.
There was no point in doing this.
In addition, Lu Beichen and the Liang family were observing the Wang familys movements in Yanjing. They didnt dare to do anything, which is also why Lin Yi didnt continue to target them.
However, other than the Wang family, he really couldnt think of another suspect.
Then well see how it goes. Anyway, this is thest hurdle. When its done, we can get this shipment back to the country.
Lin Yi nodded. He agreed with this. After this matter was resolved, he would have time to investigate the people foreignersing in. He had to take things one step at a time.
Ring ring ring!
Just as they were waiting, Lin Yis phone rang. It was Yu Siying.
Flows the situation on your side?
After leaving the restaurant, we followed the information provided by the Central Guards Brigade and immediately arrived at the two airports in Panem City. Then, we locked onto two groups of people and realized that they were all heading in the direction of the Canal Authority.
Theying to see the Canal Authority?
Thats our rough guess. Were not sure exactly where theyre headed, so well need to continue tracking them.
Alright, keep a close eye on them to avoid any mistakes, Lin Yi said seriously. But be sure to prioritize your safety. The mission can be aborted at any time. I dont want any idents to happen to you.
Got it, Team Leader.
Beep, beep, beep!
Before Lin Yi could hang up, he suddenly heard the sound of a police siren.
He suddenly looked up and saw that the rm light on the arched door had lit up, and the sound wasing from above!
Chapter 1774 - 1774 The Truth Revealed
1774 The Truth Revealed
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Everyones eyes were focused on the cargo ship. The sudden rm caught them by surprise.
A persons inspection might go wrong, but the possibility of a machine making a mistake was low.
F*ck, what the f*ck is going on? Is there something wrong with the machine? Zhou Liang cursed.
Dont panic. Lets go up and check it out.
Everyone hurried over. At the same time, Mahra joined them.
Whats going on? Why did the machine alert the police? Luo Qi asked.
This means that theres something wrong with your goods. We need to conduct a detailed inspection. Please wait patiently for the final result.
After responding, Mahra quickly ran away and called two more people over.
They held handheld detectors and began to examine the goods meticulously.
In the end, he locked onto a blue container.
Dispatch, bring this container down! Mahra said loudly.
The machines in the dock rumbled, and everyone got busy.
Because this meant that they had money to earn.
Lin Yi and the others stood not far away. No one moved, and their expressions were very ugly.
Before this, they did not believe that there was anything wrong with the goods.
They just believed that someone was secretly making things difficult for the Lingyun Group.
Now, it seemed that things were different from what they had imagined.
Brother Lin, what should we do now? Luo Qi asked in a low voice.
Lets wait and see.
Lin Yis brain spun rapidly. He was also thinking about what was going on, but he couldnt figure out what the problem was.
In the current situation, all he could do was wait.
It would not be wise to raise doubts at this time or interfere with the investigation.
After all, this was an official process. No matter how impressive he was, it was impossible for him to fight them.
With the rumble of machinery, the blue container in question was hoisted down and ced in its assigned position.
The next thing to do was to open the box and inspect the goods.
But the huge arch above the cargo ship continued to work, not letting any of the goods go.
It wasnt targeted at Lin Yi, it was just work.
The people in the dock were very familiar with the operation and quickly opened the container.
There were huge logs inside. At least on the surface, there was no problem. However, this did not mean that there was nothing wrong with the goods. Once the containers were open, Mahra called for forklifts and dozens of workers to begin unloading.
The staff here were very agile. In less than half an hour, they had unloaded everything in the container.
Dozens of giant logs were ced on the ground.
Mahra and the others picked up the testing equipment again and began to use them.
As time passed, Mahra and the others did detailed tests.
After checking more than ten logs in a row, they did not find any problems.
However, Lin Yis expression darkened. His attention was no longer on whether they could detect anything.
Deep inside, he all but knew that there was something wrong with this batch of goods.
He just wanted to figure out the answer to one question. What exactly was hidden in the logs?
The beeping sound continued, and in Lin Yis ears, it was like the sound of an electrocardiogram monitor, making him uneasy.
Over here!
Mahra said loudly, Theres something wrong with this log!
Hearing the shouts, the people in charge of the test all gathered over. Mahra said,
Be careful, check this piece of wood; there must be something in this panel. The group surged forward, wielding small hammers to tap haphazardly across the surface.
Though their method was crude, it was effective.
After several more minutes of hammering, someone shouted:
Right here, theres an issue! Im certain its hollow inside!
Lin Yi walked over expressionlessly, wanting to know what was inside.
Sir, ording to the rules, as the owner of this shipment, you are not allowed to approach the scene, Mahra said.
Lin Yi didnt waste any time and removed the watch on his wrist.
This is a limited edition Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet. Its worth about 4.00,000 US Dors. Im only going to take a look. It wont affect your work. If you agree, this watch is yours.
Well
Mahra and the others eyes shone with golden light!
Over 400,000 USD!
To them, this was already an astronomical figure!
But you can only stand two meters away.
In the face of money, Mahra and the others quicklypromised and instructed,
If you vite the rules, the security personnel here will not hesitate to attack you.
I understand.
Everyone made way for them, and Lin Yi and the others didnt move too much. They stood two meters away and looked at the problematic wood.
Mahra and the others took out tools like axes and chainsaws and prepared to split the wood.
In just a few minutes, the fake tree bark was torn off bit by bit.
They found a groove about half a meter long and less than 20 centimeters wide and deep.
There were two things inside, wrapped in transparent tape and ck stic sheeting.
In an instant, Lin Yis expression changed drastically, and his heart began to beat faster, sounding like thunder on a rainy day!
He had already guessed what was inside!
He was at least 70% confident!
Bass ore!
Because the oxygen released from it had already changed the surrounding oxygen concentration.
Although it was difficult for ordinary people to notice, at Lin Yis level, it was very easy to detect this.
Lin Yi wasnt the only one. Luo Qi and Zhou Liang also noticed the change in the air and had strange expressions on their faces.
Removing the contents, Mahra muttered, This heavy stuff doesnt look like contraband.
As he spoke, Mahra took a small knife from his colleagues hand, cut open the ck membrane on it, and took out the thing inside.
Seeing what was inside, Luo Qi and Zhou Liangs eyes widened!
When they were training in the Central Guards Brigade, they had seen this thing at the base, and this was definitely the real deal.
Although the quality of what they had seen before differed, there was no denying it.
The item in Mahras hands was Bass ore!
Excited, both of their bodies began to tremble.
Bass ore was extremely dense; two pieces this size would weigh at least 10 kilograms!
Calm down, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Brother Lin, what should we do now
Luo Qis voice became nervous. This was their first time participating in a Central Guards Brigade mission.
This was the first time they had seen such a shocking thing, so it was understandable for them to be nervous.
Ill leave the rest to you. Hurry up and tell the Central Guards Brigade about this. Listen to Boss Lius instructions and fight to get this thing back before its sent to the security department.
Lin Yis voice was deep and unquestionable.
No matter the cost!
Chapter 1775 - 1775 Lin Yi’s Plans
1775 Lin Yis ns
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis order made the two of them a little flustered.
This meant that from now on, he might not be able to help with this mission. They had to rely on themselves!
Got it!
At that moment, Mahra cut open the other package, too, with a small knife, and saw that the contents were all the same.
Weighing it in his hand, Mahra said to himself,
What are these? Ores?
99% of the global poption did not know what Bass Ores were.
Very few people knew what it was for.
Not to mention ordinary workers like Mahra, even Chen Qingfeng regarded this thing as a regr piece of ore.
However, he did not understand why President Lin did not tell him in advance that this thing was hidden in the goods.
Moreover, he also vowed toe over to watch the inspection, which felt a bit illogical.
These are two pieces of ore I brought back from outside, with ns to add them to my collection.
Lin Yi said to Mahra, with a cheerful smile.
By now, he had figured out the entire backstory of the situation.
The Canal Authoritys people definitely didnt know about these ores; otherwise, they wouldnt have had such a prolonged standoff with him.
Furthermore, the wood on the ship has always been in a sealed state, making it highly unlikely to have been tampered with.
Given the scale of this operation and with Qi Xianzhao here as well, attempting such a thing would be nearly impossible.
It was now clear that the problem must have originated at the source.
The tampering likely happened before the wood was even loaded onto the ship!
I know that you Huaxia merchants like to collect things, and these two ores look quite good.
Mahra said,
This thing is not considered an absolute contraband item, but I have to hand it over. 1 hope you cane with us so that we can deal with this matter and pay the relevant fine.
Okay, no problem.
Brothers, how are the other goods? Are there any problems?
Mahra turned around and said loudly.
Weve already checked everything. The rest of the goods are fine.
Okay.
Mahra nodded and looked back at Lin Yi.
Mr. Lin, the goods have been inspected. Pleasee with us. After dealing with these problems, the cargo ship can leave the port.
Id like to speak to my staff, if thats all right. 1 need to give them some instructions.
Of course not. Feel free.
Mahras attitude was very friendly, thanks to the watch Lin Yi had given him.
Lin Yi called Luo Qi and Zhou Liang to the side and whispered.
I have a feeling that those people outside the borders must have heard the news in advance and rushed here. They only have one goal, which is the ores in our hands.
But Im very puzzled. Who put this thing on the cargo ship? Zhou Liang asked.
They must be trying to frame us to make us the target of public criticism, Lin Yi said cautiously.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and continued.
Im making the final arrangements now. Listen up, both of you.
The two of them nodded solemnly.
When we leaveter, call Boss Liu immediately and ask him to assign this mission.
Through the phones tracking function, you can lock onto my location.
If the conditions allow, I will convey the situation here to you, but theres no guarantee that my phone will not be confiscated. So, after we leave, Luo Qi will be in charge of informing the headquarters, and Zhou Liang will be in charge of tracking my movements.
Understood!
I still dont know how much information those other people have, but I should be able to analyze it. They will be able to lock onto the location of the ore soon andunch an attack.
If my predictiones true, dont hold back. You can attack the Canal Administration and snatch the ore back while ensuring your own safety.
Understood!
The analysis just now is the worst-case scenario. Based on the current situation, the situation is still under control. I specte that the people from the Canal Administration dont know what this thing is either. As long as this ore isnt spotted by the military, the probability of it being discovered is very small. If thats the case, dont act rashly. Unless its absolutely necessary, dont get into a conflict with them. Otherwise, our situation will be very unfavorable.
As he spoke, Lin Yi looked at the two of them. Do you understand what I am saying?
Understood!
From now on, dont hide your identity from the embassy, because youll need their support for the next mission.
Understood!
I can only think of this for the time being. Well have to wait and see what happens next. Both of you, be smart. In times of emergency, you have to think on your feet. Dont be restrained by the rules.
Understood!
After reminding the two of them, Lin Yi walked towards Mahra.
Brother, I have something else to talk to you about. Is it convenient toe over and talk?
Of course, Mahra was willing to ept Lin Yis invitation.
In his opinion, even if he smuggled two pieces of ore, it was not a big deal.
Secondly, he might be able to gain a lot of benefits by interacting with a rich person like Lin Yi more.
In short, he had made a killing today.
Of course Im willing. Lets talk over there.
Under Mahras lead, Lin Yi was brought to a corner.
However, before he left, Lin Yi shot Zhou Liang a look. Thetter understood and followed quietly without anyone noticing.
However, the two sides still maintained a certain distance so that he did not look suspicious. At the same time, they could observe Lin Yis situation.
In the corner, Lin Yi smiled at Mahra.
Finding these things in our shipment should count as a significant achievement for you, right?
Of course, there will be some rewards and recognition from above. We could hit the bar tonight, maybe find some pretty girls to drink with.
I have an opportunity here that could make you earn more and gain even greater merit. Interested in giving it a try?
Mahras eyes lit up, What opportunity?
ording to the rules, these two pieces of ore are supposed to be handed over to the management bureau, right? I suggest you take me and the ore back privately. That way, all the credit goes to you, Lin Yi proposed.
Mahras eyes widened, and his heart began to beat faster.
I know youre very smart, but dont have any bad intentions. Even if I send you back, there will be guards following you in the car.
No, Im only doing this to give you a chance to make a contribution.
I dont think thats a problem. Deal..
Chapter 1776 - Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi didnt think that he could get rid of Mahra on the way back and escape
with the ore.
They would not give him such a chance.
Moreover, this might cause arge-scale conflict.
This way, he would truly be the focus of the entire world.
It was better not to do such a thing.
But Lin Yi did this to distract him.
This would prevent the foreigners from knowing about the situation here andunching a sudden attack. It would be much safer.
Therefore, he had to privately talk with the people from the management bureau to keep this matter under control.
Quietly, Mahra took the ore and led Lin Yi out.
Apanied by four police officers, they handcuffed him and put him in the
car.
However, influenced by his financial power, Lin Yis freedom was merely restricted. Using his smartphone or making a call, activities typically forbidden, were not a problem for him.
At the same time, Zhou Liang also drove the car and silently followed from
behind.
His goal was to lock onto Lin Yis whereabouts to prevent any idents from
uring.
After leaving the dock, Luo Qi immediately called Liu Hong.
She told him everything that had happened.
After hearing this news, Liu Hong was shocked and immediately deployed Qiu
Yuluo and Ning Che to Panern to help Lin Yi deal with this matter.
After reporting to Liu Hong, Luo Qi called Yu Siying and Sui Qiang and
informed them to gather at the embassy.
in total, it took more than half an hour to arrange these things.
Mr. Chen, we will need weapons to support the operation. I hope you can help
us.
Hearing Luo Qis words, Chen Qingfeng was very surprised and immediately
refused.
Thats impossible. Now that something like this has happened, well take over
and deal with it. We wont let you
This is my ID. Please take a look.
Before Chen Qingfeng could finish, Luo Qi took out her ID.
Thetter was shocked. He never dreamed that the woman standing beside
him was from the military!
Are you all?
Yes? Brother Lin is our team leader. Hes a major. Luo Qi said.
ording to the relevant agreements and regtions, we have the right to request the embassy to provide us with assistance. I hope Mr. Chen can help. Alright, dont worry. Ill report this matter now and prepare what you need as soon as possible.
Alright, thanks for your hard work.
About thirty minutester, Lin Yi was brought baek to the management
bureau.
Lin Yi met up with Ganolie again.
However, this time, his expression was much more serious. He was no longer
as polite as before.
Mr. Lin, I need you to exin the origin of this item.
I smuggled it back, Lin Yi admitted openly.
With your financial resources, you shouldntck the tariff fee, right?
-Of course not, but Huaxia doesnt allow me to import this ore, so I tried this instead. Ive greatly troubled you, Lin Yi said calmly.
If thats the case, well have to confiscate the items. Youll also have to pay a portion of the fine. Thats clearly stated in the agreement. You should know this, right?
Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Things were as he had guessed.
Ganolie didnt know what this thing was, so from the looks of it, it was still
safe.
1 know. Ill pay the fine in ordance with the relevant regtions. I can even
fork out more.
Ganolie looked up at Lin Yi. 1 dont understand what you mean.
-These two items are very important parts of my personal collection, so I dont want to give them to you. I can spend more money to buy them back from you. Just pretend that this never happened. What do you think?
No way. Youre insulting my job! Ganolie snapped.
50 million.
This is Panern. Dont think you can buy me off with money.
Eighty million.
-Youve vited the relevant regtions by doing such a thing. Well definitely
deal with you seriously.
100 million dors.
Ganolies expression was uneasy. His expression was no longer as upright as before.
Mr. Lin, 1 hope you understand
200 million.
I feel like since these are just two ordinary pieces of ore, theres no danger. I can return them to you, but you have to keep this a secret.
-At the same time, 1 hope that you can find two simr goods so that 1 can report those instead to the administration.
Of course its not a problem. This is what 1 should do. Just give me your card number.
Ganolie was ecstatic. Arent you afraid that Ill lie to you?
Im just showing my sincerity.
Lin Yi did this because he wanted to tie himself to Ganolie as soon as possible.
Once he took the money, the two of them were in cahoots.
Even if he made some excessive requests, thetter would not refuse.
-No wonder you could be a famous businessman in Huaxia. 1 admire your courage and boldness.
As he spoke, he handed his bank ount number to Lin Yi without any hesitation.
Lin Yi sent the bank ount number to He Yuanyuan and called her.
I cant believe youre calling me sote at night. Dont you know youre disturbing my sleep?
I sent you a bank ount number. Transfer 200 million US dors to this
card.
-Two hundred million US dors? Are you sure youve not gone mad?
No, the faster the better. Lin Yi said.
By the way, write an invoice for 300 million USD. Ill get someone to reimburse itter. Do it properly.
Understood.
After hanging up, Lin Yi smiled at him.
The money will arrive soon. If you dont believe me, you can wait for a while. I believe your sincerity, but for now, I need you to find two simr things so I can report those back instead.
I can do that, but it will take some time. Lin Yi said.
-But in the meantime, Im taking these two ores with me. I dont want to leave
them with you.
This was an excessive request, but under the influence of financial power, Ganolie pondered for a long time.
I dont have the authority to do such a thing. If the Huaxian government intervenes, it will dy the handling of this matter. 1 think you understand what I mean.
Thats not a problem; Ill have them help out.
This maneuver would significantly slow down the progress of the matter.
If the Huaxian government got involved, it would buy Lin Yi some time.
The rest depended on when the Central Guards Brigade could find two simr items to rece the ones in question.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Lin Yis phone rang. It was a call from Zhou Liang.
Brother Lin, run! The foreigners are here!
Chapter 1777 - Crossfire
Crossfire
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Gather at the back door!
Lin Yi didnt panic at such a critical moment!
After giving Zhou Liang instructions, he hung up.
Mr. Ganolie, the negotiations are over. Its time for me to go. Ill see you again in the future.
Lin Yi didnt give him a chance to reply. He took the ore and hurried out the door!
Suddenly, a series of explosions and screams came from outside the building!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bricks and ss pieces outside the Management Bureau flew everywhere, instantly causing the surroundings to enter a warlike state!
In the office, Ganolie waspletely dumbfounded. He shouted loudly,
What happened? Why are there gunshots?!
Panicked, losing his cool and reason, Ganolie crawled under the table, too.
F*ck!
Lin Yi, who had just run out, cursed.
He did not expect the foreigners to arrive so quickly.
Moreover, they were bold enough to do such a thing!
At the periphery of the Bureau, more than ten people were shooting at the building with heavy weapons!
After a round of concentrated fire, all the guards outside died!
The people who were strolling on the street were also frightened by the sudden scene and fled.
There were often shootings here, and the people living here were used to it.
However, it was rare to see such arge-scale gunfight.
The area around the Bureau instantly became a no mansnd. Smoke and fire lingered, and blood flowed like a river. It was like hell on Earth.
The leader was wearing military green clothes and a helmet. He was fully equipped and hade prepared.
The rest of the people were dressed simrly to him, but they all had the symbol of a cobra on them. Just like their temperaments, they were indifferent even though so many people had died.
These people also belonged to an organization called ck Snake. They were ranked seventeenth on the worlds cklist!
The people who came today were only members of theirbat team, but the powerful destructive power they disyed rendered the local security forces useless.
ck Gold Corporation had caused Lin Yi and the others a lot of trouble back then.
Even so, they were not even amongst the top 20 of this ranking. The difference between them was clear to see.
Find someone! Hurry up. The others are about to catch up. We have to take the goods away before they do.
Yes!
The dozen or so people responded and walked into the Bureau in an orderly manner.
The other party is a Huaxian. Hes about 184cm tall and has short hair. When you see a person that fits the description, kill him immediately. Dont waste your breath.
Understood!
After entering the Bureau, the dozen or so people spread out, trying to find Lin Yi.
However, Lin Yi had already rushed to the back door.
Through the window, he could already see Zhou Liangs car.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi kicked the back door open and Zhou Liang shouted, Boss, get in the car!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as Lin Yi was about to rush over, he spotted the bright sh of a muzzle.
Lin Yi reacted quickly and rolled forward, dodging the bullet.
Raising his head, Lin Yi saw two people in camouge uniforms rushing over from afar, their guns already aimed at him!
F*ck, hes pretty f*cking professional!
They were attacking from the front and nking from the back. Ordinary small organizations did not have suchplete tactical knowledge.
Leader, leave quickly. Ill cover for you!
In the car, Zhou Liang held his weapon and pulled the trigger at the two of them!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another burst of gunfire temporarily stopped the two men in their tracks.
Lin Yi also had a chance to catch his breath!
At this moment, Lin Yi took out the Defensive Master Dagger from his waist and threw it at one of them!
As they were dazed, one of their necks was pierced by the dagger!
F*ck!
The other person cursed, but his expression didnt change. He picked up the guy in his hand and shot at Lin Yi!
However, before he could fire, a bloody hole appeared in his head.
Zhou Liangs reinforcements arrived in time!
Team Leader, get in the car!
Lin Yi didnt hesitate and ran towards Zhou Liangs Lu Xun.
When he was about three meters away, he jumped into the air and entered the car through the window.
At this moment, Zhou Liang started the car and drove away from the Administration.
Boss, what should we do now?
Dont think about anything else for now. Were not out of danger yet.
Lin Yi took the remaining weapons in the car. There was quite amotion just now. The people in front of us must have heard it and will rush over soon. Dont think about anything and focus on being happy. You have to be careful. Leave the rest to me.
Yes!
Zhou Liang shouted and stepped on the elerator. The engine roared and he drove towards the small road beside them!
Lin Yi held a weapon in his hand and stared ahead.
If we rush out of this alley, well be at the front door of the Bureau. After hearing the noise, the other partys men will definitely rush out. Be careful.
Got it!
Open the skylight!
Yes!
With a sizzling sound of electricity, the cars skylight opened. Lin Yi raised the weapon in his hand and aimed at the huge billboard above his head, firing at the corners.
Soon, the connection on the billboard began to loosen. In an instant, it started to fall!
Whoosh!
A loud sound was heard, and the billboard fell in front of the Bureau!
F*ck!
The billboard fell, and the leader cursed.
They had already heard the gunshots at the back door and sent people over to provide support.
However, he soon got news that the person in charge of nking Lin Yi had already died and the target had driven away.
The leader had already set up an ambush at the front door, but he was blocked by a billboard that suddenly fell from the sky.
This also disrupted his n.
I really underestimated you. Interesting, the leader said.
At this moment, Zhou Liang drove off the small road!
But before anyone could open fire, Lin Yi started his first spray of bullets!
Because they were a step slow, ck Snakes men were forced into a defensive position, scrambling to find cover.
This dy caused them to miss the optimal time to concentrate their fire.
Even so, this did not guarantee Lin Yis safety.
The weapons in the car were hastily prepared to deal with Cohen and his associates.
Therefore, the firepower was not great. After this bout of gunfire, they only had about half the ammo left.
Team Leader, where should we go now?
Hows the fuel tank?
Its full. Theres a gas station next to the Bureau. 1 happened to be filling up when the ident happened.
Drive to the embassy. Once we get there, well be safe!
Good!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as Zhou Liang thought that he could escape, another round of gunfire sounded!
Chapter 1778 - Provoking the Central Guards Brigade
Chapter 1778 - Provoking the Central Guards Brigade
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
F*ck, where did these peoplee from?
Zhou Liang, who was driving, cursed, How many people did these guys bring?!
Its possible that someone else is here. The two sides are not in cahoots!
Zhou Liang turned the steering wheel fiercely. At the same time, he saw the person who was firing at him.
A few pickup trucks had appeared in front of him. The people inside were all pointing their guns at him.
The path ahead was already sealed. It was impossible to escape.
Zhou Liang got an idea and turned into a small road in the nearby market.
Because of the firefight, there was no one here anymore, but they had all left their goods and stalls behind.
This barred their escape a fair bit.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ss of the Land Cruiser was riddled with one crack after another, some already shattered. Orange-red tracers flew overhead, making Lin Yi and Zhou Liang nervous since they were just a moment away from potential death.
Bang,bang, bang!
Seizing the right moment, Lin Yiunched a counterattack, trying to create an opportunity for Zhou Liang. Without this, their chances of escaping were slim.
This is f*cking exciting!
Seeing Zhou Liangs state, Lin Yi was relieved.
After joining the Central Guards Brigade, they did not participate in any missions. They only followed the process and underwent a few drills and training sessions.
However, at this moment, he was able to disy such a heroic and fearless front. This guy was clearly not simple; Lin Yi had not misjudged him.
Do you have any regrets?
Amidst the gunfire, Lin Yiughed out loud.
Why did you have toe to this ce to suffer instead of being a rich second-generation heir?
Im f*cking regretting it. Zhou Liangughed out loud.
Normally, Im the one who shoots at others. Who dares to do this to me?
Damn it, when I get back, Ill definitely find a bath center and get massaged for three days and three nights.
Ill take care of that for you.
Zhou Liangughed. Boss, sit tight. Theres a sharp turn ahead. Make sure you arent thrown off.
Just drive your car. Ill cover you from behind. Dont worry about me!
Alright!
Zhou Liang stepped on the elerator and turned the steering wheel hard to the right. At a nearly perfect angle, he drove the car into a small alley that was only three meters wide.
At this moment, five cars were chasing them. With seemingly unlimited ammunition, the bullets fired at Lin Yi.
While Lin Yi was taking cover, he was also looking for a suitable n to stop the pursuit to escape.
F*ck! Theres a scrapped car in front! Zhou Liang cursed.
Lin Yi turned around and saw an old Chevrolet parked by the roadside.
Heres my chance. Lin Yi said excitedly.
Speed up!
Alright!
After receiving Lin Yis order, Zhou Liang stepped on the elerator and the Land Rovers engine roared.
This car, which was the benchmark for off-road vehicles the world over, disyed its terrifying performance at this moment.
Riding up over the hood of the Chevrolet, the Land Cruisernded smoothly without any obstruction.
This ride is so thrilling. 1 might switch to a Land Cruiser myself after we get back.
Stay focused, were not out of danger yet.
After his reminder, Lin Yi aimed his weapon at the Chevrolets fuel tank and let loose a burst of gunfire.
Gasoline spilled onto the ground, and the sparks from the metal friction ignited it, sending mes soaring into the sky.
Thick ck smoke obscured the view, and the pursuers behind them were blocked by the fire, unable to continue the chase.
Damn, boss, thats brilliant. Who wouldve thought of that?!
In reality, this was not a high-end tactic.
But Lin Yi could remain calm under such intense conditions, which made Zhou Liang admire him.
He doubted that he could do the same.
If Lin Yi wasnt in the car, he would have died.
Motherf*cker!
Lin Yi slumped into the back seat, panting heavily.
This was the first time such a thing had happened to him. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
Lin Yi touched his pocket and found that it was empty.
F*ck, wheres my phone?!
Did you throw it out just now?
Possibly.
Zhou Liang handed his phone over.
Use mine first.
Lin Yi took out his phone and found Yu Siying on the first page of his contact list.
Were on Massachi Street, heading towards the embassy now. We need fire support, hurry over!
Roger that!
Yu Siyings voice was also frantic, and the sound of gunfire in the background indicated that their situation wasnt good either.
After notifying her, Lin Yi got up and counted the remaining bullets, hoping to hold out a bit longer.
As long as Yu Siying and her team arrived with adequate firepower, even if they were outnumbered, it should be enough to allow him to retreat to a safe area.
Even so, Lin Yi did not let his guard down. While counting the ammunition, he continuously scanned the surroundings to ensure Zhou Liangs absolute safety.
At three in the morning in Yanjing, Huaxia, the Central Guards Brigades building was brightly lit.
All the officials of the Central Guards Brigade had gathered as they analyzed the situation whilst trying toe up with the optimal solution.
Teams 2 and 3 of the Central Guards Brigade had already been sent to Panem.
At this moment, the door of thebat conference room was pushed open.
Under the escort of the guards, Lu Beichen walked in from outside.
After receiving the notice, Lu Beichen made some simple arrangements over the phone. Then, he put on his clothes and personally rushed to the base.
He had not expected such a thing to happen in Panem.
When they saw Lu Beichen, everyone saluted in unison.
Chief!
Have you arranged for reinforcements?
Ive already sent Team 2 and Team 3 to provide support. Theyre taking a private ne. If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to enter Panem City before air traffic control restricts the airspace.
Hows the situation over there?
The situation is really bad. Liu Hong said with an ugly expression.
The people from the Bureau found about 10 kilograms of ore in their goods. Then, Lin Yi was taken away for investigation. Immediately after, he was attacked and lost contact with the rest of Team 1, but theyre thinking of a way to provide support.
In this critical situation, Lu Beichen was exceptionally calm.
He also connected everything that had happened in front of him.
The foreigners had gone to Panem at the same time because they had heard the news.
Their target was the goods in Lin Yis hands.
But the question remained: why would ten kilograms of ore randomly appear on Lin Yis cargo ship?
Lu Beichens eyes narrowed.
Knowing Lin Yi, he was not the type to secretly stash such items. It was more likely that someone had set him up.
Otherwise, there was no way so much ore could have leaked out!
With this thought, Lu Beichens expression grew even darker.
This was a provocation against the Central Guards Brigade!

Notify our local contacts, authorize full support, and provide Lin Yi with the firepower he needs.
Yes!
Also, reach out to our diplomatic channels to see if we can deploy our people there, Lu Beichen instructed.
This isnt Tillia Ind. Theck of weapons puts Lin Yi at a significant disadvantage. Hisbat effectiveness will be severely reduced. If we cant get our people over there, their situation will be very dangerous.
Ive already made the contacts, and the response 1 received is that Panem does not agree, Liu Hong said, his fists clenched.
So, Ive instructed Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che to disguise themselves as tourists and slowly infiltrate the area.
Lu Beichen did not say anything. Given the current situation, this was the only solution.
They were on the same side as the Meiguons, so they naturally wouldnt let the Huaxia military just march in.
But Lu Beichen was more concerned about who did this.
He suspected the Wang family, but he did not have any evidence. It was impossible to use them.
A full 10 kilograms of Bass ore was a huge investment!
But what was their goal?
Was he just trying to stir up a conflict between the Central Guards Brigade and the foreign personnel?
Lu Beichen thought about it and felt that it was impossible.
He was more inclined to think that the other partys target was Lin Yi.
Before this, he had learned from Shen Shuyi that there had been many problems with this project that hadsted for several months.
If something hadnt happened to the executives of Lingyun Group, Lin Yi wouldnt have rushed to Panem.
Therefore, it was very likely that the source of the conflict was Lin Yi himself.
Could this be the Wang familys real target?
Yanjing, Wang Family.
It was dark outside the window, but the lights in the study were still on.
Wang Tingshan had a cigarette in his mouth. Wang Mian sat in his wheelchair and listened to Li Mis report.
Master, the conflict in Panem has already begun. Li Mi said.
But the Central Guards Brigade sent Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo over.
Panem has restricted all air traffic. Can they still get through?
Air restrictions dont take effect in real time. Liu Hong found a private jet and flew them over at full speed. They should be able to reach Panama before air control locks it all down.
Wang Tingshan silently took a puff of his cigarette. This guy has improved a lot over the years.
What do we need to do?
Those two women arent simple either. Get someone to stop them and cause them some trouble. Tingshan Wang said.
But dont be so brazen. Just dy the process appropriately. The focus of the entire world is on Panem. Theirbat strength is still not up to standard. Wang Mian and Li Mi nodded. This was not Tilia Ind. Theirbat strength would be greatly reduced.
Hows Lin Yi? Tingshan asked.
1 heard that even ck Snake went over.
Yes, Li Mi answered concisely.
ording to my investigation, at least twelve organizations have arrived in Panem. Lin Yi is in a lot of danger.
Lin Yis ability cant be underestimated. Even with so many people surrounding him, he might still be able to hold on for a while. Tell Chen Guanjie to keep an eye on him and not make any mistakes.
Got it.
Wang Tingshan waved his hand. Also, if the Central Guards Brigade has any
new arrangements and deployments, report back immediately.
Understood!
Zhonghai, Jiuzhou Pavilion.
The sleeping Ji Qingyan abruptly sat up from her bed. Her clothes were drenched in cold sweat, and her face was extremely pale.
He was panting heavily, like a drowning person who had been dragged ashore.
In the darkness, Ji Qingyan fumbled for her phone.
The light on the screen came on. With the help of the light, he could see that her lips had turned pale.
Her normallyposed hair was now disheveled, stripping her of all her usual elegance and leaving her looking panicked and disorganized.
On her phone, aside from two emails and a spam message, there was nothing else.
She did not see the contents she was hoping to find.
Due to the time difference, Ji Qingyan always called Lin Yi at night.
So, after work, she did as usual and called Lin Yi to check on how he was managing with the situation.
However, the call went unanswered.
At that moment, Ji Qingyan didnt think much of it, assuming Lin Yi was busy with something. It was normal for him not to pick up, so she just waited for him to finish up and call her back.
However, even after dinner that night, there was still no call.
She decided to make another call.
However, if she called then, she would not have been able to get through.
It wasnt until before she went to bed that night that she called dozens of times, but the results were the same. No one answered.
Ji Qingyans heartbeat quickened.
She took her phone and called Lin Yi again.
This time, there was still no answer.
An inexplicable anger welled up in her heart, and she threw her phone aside in frustration.
At this point, she had changed out of her pajamas as she leaned against the head of the bed and sat there until the sky was bright.
Panem City, East 76th Street.
Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had a temporary respite, but that didnt change their dangerous situation.
How far to the embassy?
Lin Yi looked around and asked cautiously.
About five kilometers.
Drive faster. Every second counts for us.
Understood.
Zhou Liang did not dare to dy. He also understood the urgency of this matter. He had to rush to the embassy in the shortest time possible.
Lin Yi panted heavily as he tried to take out his phone to contact Yu Siying and the others.
However, he realized that the screen of his phone had already shattered.
F*ck!
Lin Yi said, feeling like it was a stormy night.
He couldnt use his phone. Whether he could survive now really depended on luck.
As he observed his surroundings, Lin Yis mind raced.
He sifted through the series of events in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a conspiracy.
It was a conspiracy against him!
These ten kilograms of ores must have been nned. They were ced inside the cargo when the wood was packed.
It was only today that it was made public.
In the morning, Yu Siying said that the two groups of people they were following were moving towards the Bureau. This was not a coincidence. They wereing for the Bass ore!
The reason for this was because they had obtained urate information that the ore was in his hands!
With this news, they had turned their eyes toward him!
He became everyones target.
And these things clearly pointed to one thing!
The person secretly pulling all the strings seemed to know every move they made.
Only then could they have orchestrated such aprehensive scheme!
Thinking this, Lin Yi breathed heavily, staring out the window.
If his guess was correct, thesest five kilometers would be fraught with dangers for him and Zhou Liang.
It wouldnt be easy for them to reach the safe zone unscathed.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as Zhou Liang elerated, preparing to make their escape, they heard the noise of engines revving and guns firing!
Danger struck once again!
Chapter 1780 - Escape
Escape
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Reacting instinctively, Zhou Liang turned the steering wheel sharply to the left, causing the right wheels of the vehicle to lift off the ground.
Before Lin Yi could react, his head hit the door frame, and a bloody gash appeared on his forehead.
Boss, youre injured!
Nothings wrong. Keep driving!
Wiping the blood from his forehead, Lin Yi picked up his gun again and prepared to cover for Zhou Liang.
However, as soon as he showed himself, bullets rained down and shattered the ss. Even the car door was riddled with holes, giving him no chance to fire.
Alt!
Screams could be heard. It was Zhou Liangs voice.
The bullet sped past his arm, causing arge wound!
Zhou Liang was injured and could not even drive steadily. He twisted left and right, and the front of the car even hit the windows of the surrounding convenience stores.
How are you? Can you still drive?
Im fine. Its just a superficial wound!
Zhou Liang gritted his teeth and said, Boss, dont worry about me. Be careful and kill these sons of b*tches.
At this point, Lin Yi had no time to worry about Zhou Liangs injuries.
Based on the current situation, if there was any deviation from the shortest path, both of them would die here!
As long as he could still drive, he had to persevere!
Lin Yi turned around and looked up. There were a few groups of people outside, wearing different clothes. They were obviously from different organizations.
ck Snake Organization that had just attacked was also among them!
And this time, their firepower was even more fierce!
They were not prepared to give the two of them any chance.
Zhou Liang, who was driving, was even more unstable.
Although he was not shot, his left arm had been grazed, and the stability of his driving had been affected.
Turn around and hit it!
Roger that!
If possible, Lin Yi wanted to switch ces with Zhou Liang now.
However, at such a moment, he did not even have time to do this.
Thus, he ordered Zhou Liang to do this, knowing that simply running would be ineffective.
There might even be enemies ahead, which would further put Lin Yi and his team at a disadvantage.
The strategy now was to disrupt the enemys formation!
This was the key to creating opportunities for themselves.
Under Lin Yis direction, Zhou Liang swung the vehicle around and drove straight towards the crowd.
The foreign adversaries, positioned at various locations, opened fire on Lin Yi.
Upon seeing the Land Cruiser charging at them, they disyed panicked expressions, ceased firing, and scattered to avoid being run over!
The tactic was effective. Zhou Liang, seizing the moment, drove towards the next group of adversaries.
Lin Yi took advantage of their confusion, systematically aiming and firing at the targets.
In his opinion, killing someone here meant there would be one less person chasing them!
He had to exhaust the enemys vitality as much as possible!
Damn!
Just as their n was making initial progress, a flying tile came slicing through the air like a sharp knife.
It shed a twenty-centimeter-long cut across Lin Yis hand.
Bright red blood flowed freely, staining the seat beneath him a deep crimson.
Boss!
Keep your eyes on the road, I wont die from this!
Due to the pain, Lin Yi crouched down, gasping heavily and grimacing in agony.
He quickly tore a few strips from his shirt and tightly bound them around his arm.
He had to stabilize the wound even under the pressing circumstances.
With such arge wound, there was a real risk of infection, which could make him losehis arm if not properly managed.
Boss, its bad. Someonesing from ahead!
F*ck! Lin Yi cursed, F*ck, is everyone in the world here to attack me?!
It seems I really cant just talk big, Zhou Liang said loudly.
When I was in high school, I was so full of youthful bravado. I told a girl at our school, For you, I could take on the whole world. Well, now, Im really f*cking doing it.
And here you are, still able tough at a time like this, youre even calmer than 1 am.
Actually, when you told me to change course and drive into the crowd earlier,
I had already epted my fate. Its just one life; if its lost, so be it.
Cut the crap, follow orders, and you wont die.
Haha, f*ckit all!
Lin Yi also cracked a smile, sensing that Zhou Liang wasing to a realization.
With that kind of tough spirit, he would undoubtedly fit right in at Central Guards Brigade in the future.
However, such ruthlessness was also dangerous.
It was a good thing that he was not afraid of death, but he could not be like a reckless person. Otherwise, he would die sooner orter.
Bah!
Teams these days were really not easy to lead!
Boss, theyre here. Im going to rush over!
Charge. We dont have many bullets left. We cant waste any more.
Alright! Sit tight!
Zhou Liang drove with one hand and roared at the front. Like a fearless warrior, he rushed towards the crowd in front of him!
This kind of reckless attack quickly showed results.
In order to protect themselves, the foreigners first gave up on firing and avoided the car that was rushing over.
After confirming their safety, they reorganized to open fire and carry out the attack.
This was all the two of them could do for the time being. Because this area had already been surrounded, they could only find an opportunity in the cracks!
If they could find an opportunity first, the two of them would have a chance of survival. If they couldnt find an opportunity, they would have to go to the photo studio to have their photos printed in ck and white.
Boss! Were here!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as the two of them were about to die, they suddenly heard a cry of surprise!
What followed was a series of gunshots!
F*ck, Sister Yu and the others, the governments armed forces are here too!
F*ck, they came at the right time!
Lin Yi tried to look up and saw a few cars driving towards him!
Sui Qiang, Xiao Bing, and the others shouted as they fired, trying to cover Lin Yis retreat!
F*ck, the reinforcements are finally here, Lin Yi said, barely escaping death.
Boss, get your weapon!
Zhao Yunhu threw thetest weapon through the car window towards Lin Yi!
Just at that moment, another series of gunshots rang out, precisely targeting and knocking the weapon Zhao Yunhu tossed over to the ground, disrupting the first wave of support from both sides.
Throw grenades!
Damn it, lets retreat!
Lin Yis eyes widened when he saw the thing flying in the air. He was less than five meters away from Zhao Yunhu!
If they did not retreat quickly, both sides would be finished!
This is our chance, dont worry about anything else, lets get out of here! Lin Yi shouted, Yu Siying, cover us, you can leave if you want to!
Okay!
With this respite, the two of them escaped through a gap!
However, the confrontation between the two sides also fell into a stalemate!
Looking at Yu Siying and the officials, the leader of ck Snake waved his hand.
Dont fight them.. Lets go!
Chapter 1781 - The Situation Is Bad
The Situation Is Bad
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Although they didnt get any weapons, Yu Siying and the others support gave Lin Yi and Zhou Liang a chance to breathe.
This is too f*cking scary. If we had to continue for a while longer, both of us would have died here.
We wouldnt just have died.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said, Theyd probably have dragged us out to feed the dogs.
Boss, dont disgust me. Im not married yet.
Do you really think theyre kind people? Being fed to the dogs is considered a light punishment. Haha
Its great to be alive. When 1 go back, 1 have to arrange a series of massages thatsts for three days and three nights.
When the timees, lets make an appointment. Even Zhonghai wont be adequate for this. If we want to talk about massages, we have to talk about the northeast. Compared to them, Zhonghai is like a younger brother.
Youve said it. Well make an appointment then.
The gunfire in the distance continued. The two of them were out of danger. They drove the Land Rover, which was riddled with holes, in the direction of the embassy.
How far are we? Lin Yi asked from the back seat.
Were about two kilometers away. Well be there soon.
Hows your injury? Can you hold on? If not, Ill drive.
Theyre all superficial wounds. Theyre bearable.
Then keep going for now. Ill help you bandage it when we get there.
Sounds good!
F*ck, whats going on? Why is there a roadblock in front?
Roadblock?
Just as the two of them thought that they were about to enter the safe zone, they suddenly saw a roadblock erected in front of them. It was about a meter tall and blocked the middle of the road without leaving any gap.
Moreover, the roadblock wasposed of triangr supports, not the typical parking lot barriers.
Breaking through was not an option.
Boss, we cant pass.
Stop the car first, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Lets switch ces. Then, you lie down and dont let them see you.
Lin Yi didnt know what would happen next, but he could imagine that it wouldnt be that smooth.
Zhou Liang was injured, so he could not let him drive the car anymore.
Without further ado, Zhou Liang stopped the car and sat in the passenger seat.
He also followed Lin Yis instructions and lowered his body to avoid being discovered.
Lin Yi was bold in his approach because he was confident that the opponents wouldnt dare to fire recklessly, knowing their international reputation was at stake.
If they were to initiate aggression, Huaxia would not stand idly by.
Times have changed!
Ill bandage my wound first and check my injuries.
Okay!
Lin Yi drove slowly.
The Meiguo soldiers in front of the roadblock pointed their guns at Lin Yi, as if asking the two of them to get out of the car for inspection.
What do we do next?
Well see. Ill go down and take a look.
Will this work? Theyre pointing a gun at you.
Its just the two of them. Its not a big problem.
With that, Lin Yi took a deep breath.
I dont know what will happen next. If someone else is lying in ambush nearby, Ill create an opportunity for you. Drive away immediately. Dont worry about me!
That wont do. I cant leave you behind!
That is an order! Lin Yi said.
Now, the whole world knows that the ore is in our hands. If these people snatch it away, Huaxia will get embarassed. Remember that!
Yes, got it! Zhou Liang said with reddened eyes.
Why are you crying? Im not dead yet. Im just telling you the worst case scenario.
Got it.
Seeing Lin Yi get out of the car, the Meiguon soldier in charge of blocking the way pointed his weapon at his head.
Lin Yi raised his hand and walked over carefully.
What are you doing?
I suspect you of carrying a lethal weapon. Im going to search you now.
Okay.
Lin Yi didnt resist. Instead, he looked around from the corner of his eye.
It seemed that there was no one here. In other words, there were only the two of them guarding this path.
In that case, the danger would be greatly reduced.
Lin Yi raised his hands and stood in front of the two of them.
One of them held a weapon against Lin Yis head, and thetter checked his body.
He was trying to find the ore hidden in his body.
Just as he was about to touch his lower back, Lin Yi counterattacked.
With his right hand, he grabbed the second persons gun barrel. With his left hand, he took out the scalpel hidden in his lower back.
A cold light shed, and a line of blood appeared on the neck of the person who had been searching his body. Blood sttered everywhere, even on Lin Yis face.
F*ck!
The second person looked furious, but Lin Yi didnt give them a chance!
Just like before, Lin Yi waved the scalpel and cut the artery on his neck!
Get out!
Lin Yi called out, and Zhou Liang hurriedly got out of the car.
Carry these two people to the car. The equipment on them will act as our supplies!
Zhou Liang had a belly full of questions, but he did not ask at this time.
Instead, he listened to Lin Yis instructions and carried one of them back to the car.
Take off their equipment, Lin Yi said as he started the car.
Boss, well be able to return to the safe zone once we move the roadblock away. Why do we still need this?
This is a conspiracy. We might not be able to go back.
Lin Yi drove back to the original road and headed in another direction.
In order to obtain more ore, Meiguo would secretly cooperate with the other foreigners. This is also why they appeared here; they want to take advantage of the situation.
Lin Yi looked around cautiously and said with a deep expression.
What we encountered just now might very well be the first obstacle. There will be a second or even a third obstacle after that. Well definitely be stopped. If they learn that two people have been killed, theyll have something on us. They can act even more unrestrained and itll be even more disadvantageous to our situation.
What are we going to do now? Meet up with them?
We can only give it a try. Lin Yi said.
When we tried to regroup earlier, they disrupted it. Even with official armed forces present, they didnt hold back, which shows they had anticipated our moves. Thats why they threw grenades to foil our n. If we try to go back now, well definitely face intense resistance; they wont let us regroup easily.
Then the situation will not be easy to handle. Zhou Liang said nervously.
First, strip their weapons and bulletproof vests. Ill try to find a way back, see if theres any chance to escape. If it doesnt work out, well try to regroup with them. Thats the only thing we can do.
Alright!
After assigning the tasks, Zhou Liang dismantled the weapons and equipment of the two Meiguo soldiers ording to Lin Yis request. He ced one set of equipment on the passenger seat for Lin Yi to use.
However, the corpse was not disposed of on the spot. Instead, they prepared to find a deserted ce to dispose of themter.
Lin Yi drove the car through the city, but every road was guarded.
Most importantly, the local armed forces seemed to be on the same side as the Meiguons.
To Lin Yi, the pressure was mounting!
Chapter 1782: A New Strategy
Chapter 1782: A New Strategy
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor EndlessFantasy Trantion
Although he was out of danger for the time being, Lin Yis movements were always careful.
That was because many foreigners hade here. Those people were not fools.
They would not fight with Team 1. They would think of a way to avoid the battlefield. It was only a matter of time until he encountered them.
If they could not reach a safe area in this period of time, the oue would be even worse.
As for the members of Team 1, in order to protect themselves, they would be constantly fighting.
The continuous battle would increase the danger and strain of Team 1. This
was something Lin Yi did not want to see.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
Lin Yi drove carefully and attentively, not missing a single detail.
There were also many people hiding in the dark who did not participate but instead waited for an opportunity to ambush.
If he met them here, there was no need to say anything about his oue.
But what worried Lin Yi the most wasnt the chaotic situation in front of him, but the man in ck who would appear for the ore!
If the man in ck appeared, with the wolves in front and tigers behind, he would have a slim chance of survival.
Lin Yis brain spun rapidly. Based on this situation, there were three paths in front of him.
Firstly, finding a path to the embassy would be the most satisfactory oue.
However, based on the current situation, this might not work.
Secondly, they had to meet up with Team 1.
However,pared to the first approach, this was even more difficult.
The foreigners knew very well that once they met up with Team 1, it would be impossible to obtain the ore.
Therefore, this approach was also very difficult and dangerous.
Thirdly, he had to find a ce to hide and shake of these people. Then, he had to figure out what to do next.
Compared to the first two options, this would be much safer.
However, this approach could not solve the substantive problem.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi decided to try the first two methods. If it didnt work, he could only settle for the next best thing.
Looking out at the darkening sky, Lin Yi checked the fuel tank.
Fortunately, Zhou Liang was smart enough to fill up the fuel tank in advance.
After driving around the city for so long, they could still travel another 300 kilometers with the remaining fuel. As long as nothing unexpected happened, this should be enough.
Now, they just had to find a way out.
Lin Yi drove around casually.
Zhou Liang, who was in the back seat, pointed his gun out the window. If he noticed any danger, he would attack immediately.
However, after trying several roads, he realized that they were all blocked. It was impossible to return to the safe zone.
Boss, the situation doesnt look good. Zhou Liang pursed his lips. The surroundings of the embassy seem to have been sealed off.
Its not just bad. Lin Yi said.
I feel that Panem City has been locked down. Under the Meiguons instigation, they will definitely restrict our armed forces. The few people from the embassy will be a drop in the bucket based on the current situation. It wont solve the problem.
Then arent the two of us basically on the verge of death?
Dont be so optimistic. Were as good as dead.
Ah, ah, ah! The massage that Ive been longing for!
Why the f*ck are you thinking about these things at this time? Lin Yi scolded jokingly.
He felt that Zhou Liang was letting himself go.
Since theres no way out, we naturally have to die with dignity. Zhou Liang looked around. Where are we going now? It feels like were in a slum.
We cant go back to the embassy. Were in the suburbs. Lets find a ce to hide for a while.
Lin Yi surveyed the surroundings and noticed the area was isted and deste. He suggested,
Right now, were too exposed. Its best to find a ce to hide and then figure out how to contact the embassy.
But I think if they dont find us soon, they might impose a citywide lockdown and start a thorough search, Zhou Liang responded.
It doesnt matter. This kind of investigation is just a drizzle. Its not much of a threat to us.
In Lin Yis view, as long as the opposition didnt possess heavy weaponry, dealing with them wouldnt be too difficult given his and Zhou Liangs capabilities.
Even if they were up against foreign personnel in Panem City or Meiguon soldiers, they wouldnt pose a threat in a hand-to-hand scenario.
Their safety wouldnt bepromised.
Lin Yi wasnt worried about them, but the men in cks aplices.
He was 90% sure that the other party would appear!
Thest time he was in Doora, the man in ck was already too much for him.
If not for Song Jinmins timely arrival, his death anniversary would have been in a few months.
Therefore, he had to find a safe area to hide before they discovered him!
Otherwise, he and Zhou Liang would have no chance of survival!
Understood!
Following Lin Yis instructions, Zhou Liang tidied up the equipment in the car and wrapped it up.
Lin Yi continued driving around the slums of Panem City, looking for a ce to hide.
It was not until the sky gradually darkened and the moon was in full view that they found a deserted ce and stopped the car.
Boss, are we getting out of the car?
I saw a stic bucket next to the car. Go and pick it up.
What the f*ck? Im a rich second-generation heir with a worth of tens of billions. Do you want me to pick up trash?
Cut the crap, just go. Lin Yi said, Theres a pipe nearby, pick it up too.
Sure thing.
Zhou Liang didnt waste any time and followed Lin Yis instructions to grab the stic bucket and water pipe.
After you get the stuff back, drain the fuel from the tank. Well have a big use for it, Lin Yi instructed. After youre done, wait for me in the car. Ill be back soon.
Understood.
After giving instructions, Lin Yi didnt stay idle.
He quietly ran out from a narrow alley to a somewhat wider street.
It was gettingte, and there werent many people on the streets, just the asional passerby and vehicle.
Lin Yis gaze was like a falcon, searching for suitable prey on the street.
A few minutester, Lin Yi locked his gaze on a man in a singlet.
Beside him were two femalepanions who he was showing off his new phone to.
It seemed to be a Huawei.
After locking onto the target, Lin Yi walked towards the young man and patted his shoulder.
Sir, I have a favor to ask.
Standing in front of the young man, Lin Yi deliberately spoke in Spanish.
The young man who was bragging saw Lin Yi suddenly appear with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
The two women beside him also looked at Lin Yi teasingly. They were not enthusiastic.
Because of his race and culture, Lin Yis looks were of no use here.
Why are you looking for me?
Let me introduce myself first. Im Qin Han, a Huaxian who works here. I want to go to Sangma Street, but 1 dont know where to go.. Can you show me the way?

The Sangnia Street that Lin Yi was talking about was where he and Zhou Liang were just now.
Of course, I wont ask you to help for nothing. Lin Yi said.
I have $100 in my pocket. If youre willing to help me, I can give this Sioo to you.
The young mans eyes lit up when he saw the $100 in Lin Yis hand.
This ce was already very close to the slums. The conditions of the people living here were not very good.
Otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to show off in front of the two girls with just a phone.
The 100 USD in Lin Yis hand was not a small amount to the young man.
Are you sure that if I tell you the location, youll give me this $100? the young man confirmed.
Of course, $100 is nothing to me. Theres no need to lie to you.
The young man was overjoyed and pointed at the road behind Lin Yi.
Follow this road back, then turn left. When you reach the intersection, turn right, and thats it. Now you can give me the money.
Wait, my Spanish isnt good. 1 dont really understand what youre saying. Can you take me there?
How is that possible? I have more important things to do. Do you think my time is worthless? The young man hugged the waists of the two women and said.
No, no, no. Ill pay for it, Lin Yi said.
If youre willing to show me the way, 1 can give you an extra $50.
Are you sure? The young man was a little tempted.
Of course. Ive already told you. I have a lot of money. $150 is nothing to me.
If possible, Lin Yi would take out more money to tempt the other party.
However, things did not go his way. He only had about 150 dors left in his pocket.
The young mans eyes darted around as if he had discovered a business opportunity.
If youre willing to pay $150, Im willing to take you there.
Deal, Lin Yi said, As long as you bring me to Sangma Street, the money is yours.
Lets go.
After saying that, the young man looked at his two femalepanions beside him. Wait for me here for a while. 111 be back soon.
We want to go with you. Its so boring to stay here, her femalepanionined.
Lets go with you.
Its very dirty. Its better if you dont go. I promise you that Ill be back in ten minutes. 1 wont keep you waiting.
Alright then,e back quickly.
The young manforted his femalepanion and brought Lin Yi to the path behind him.
Lin Yi felt that this was really a magical country.
He could show off here with just a phone, and he was even fishing for two.
There was nothing much to say. Huaxian goods were awesome, and Huawei was awesome.
The two of them walked down the path. The young man kept sizing up Lin Yi, as if he wanted to see how much money he had on him.
However, when he reached the alley, the young man suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Lin Yi turned around. Why arent we continuing?
A smile appeared on the young mans face. He took out a dagger from his waist and walked towards Lin Yi.
Looking at the dagger in the other partys hand, Lin Yi realized that the style was quite novel.
It shouldnt be used tomit crimes. It was more likely that he was carrying it around to show off.
If you dont want to get hurt, hand over all the money you have. I wont hurt you.
Are you going to rob me?
Lin Yi almostughed out of anger.
Damn it, I put in so much effort just to rob you, and now you think you can pull a fast one on me?
Yes, I hope you hand over all the money. Dont make me use force; it wont be good for you.
I only have S150 in my pocket, not as much as you think.
Youre ying me!
You could say that, Lin Yi leaned against the wall and said:
Im interested in your phone, so how about you cooperate with me?
A Huaxian man daring to rob me, youve got some nerve!
The young man, wielding a knife, lunged at Lin Yi.
But before the de could reach him, he found his wrist was immobilized, unable to move.
With those skills, you might want to go home and practice more. Yourecking a bit.
Lin Yi grabbed his wrist, twisted it upwards sharply, and the knife slid from the young mans grasp. Lin Yi caught it and swiftly stabbed it into the young mans abdomen.
The young man clutched his wound, his eyes wide with shock, not expecting such a turn of events.
But soon, he lost consciousness and fainted on the ground.
Whether he lived or died would depend on his luck.
Lin Yi took the phone from the other partys hand and disappeared into the night, rushing to meet Zhou Liang.
With Lin Yis skills, even if he was on the streets, it would be easy to snatch the phone.
However, he did not want to make too much noise. He had to remain hidden at all times to ensure his safety.
Boss, where did you go? Ive already gotten the gasoline out. Theres probably enough left inside to drive a few kilometers.
I went out and knicked a cell phone. Do you remember the number from the embassy?
00507-8371058,1 think thats it. Zhou Liang said, You can look it up online.
This poor guy doesnt even have 4Gwork.
Wait, I remember there was an embassy business card in the car. Chen Qingfeng gave it to me. Let me look for it.
In order to confirm the uracy of the phone number, Zhou Liang searched the armrest box and found the business card.
Theres always a way out! Zhou Liang sighed. As long as the call goes through, well be safe.
Lin Yi took the business card and dialed the number on it.
However, to their despair, they could not get through!
None of the three calls on the phone could be connected, and there was not even a minimal busy tone. It would automatically hang up in about half a minute.
Its impossible for such an important organization to have a weak signal, right? Zhou Liang said in despair.
It has nothing to do with the signal. Its very likely that the surrounding signal has been blocked, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
The Meiguons are interfering forcefully. Thats why such a thing happened. Theres no way we can go back. Itll also be impossible for them to send out reinforcements.
Son of a b*tch!
Okay, nows not the time to be angry. At least were out of danger for now. Thats a good thing. Lets find a ce to settle down and think of something.
With the current situation, it doesnt seem safe to go anywhere.
Not necessarily. I know a ce called Cullen Sector. We can take a look there.
Cullen? Zhou muttered. Ive heard of this ce before. I think its a slum in Panem. I heard the ce is a mess.
Thats exactly what we are looking for. Its perfect for us to hide, Lin Yi said.
Moreover, the people living in the slums are born to hate the officials. We can use them..

Boss, how are you so formidable? Even now, your mind is still so sharp.
-Less fiddling around usually helps keep the mind clear.
How could that be? 1 stopped using my hands since middle school; 1 pay a lot of attention to my health.
Damn impressive, Lin Yi said.
-When I was in middle school, 1 hadnt even watched any Japanese movies yet.
Boss, now is not the time to discuss this. We should get to Cullen as soon as possible. That way, it will be safer.
Lets go.
How far is it from here to Cullen?
Its not far, just eight kilometers. Lin Yi said.
Letspete and see who can run faster.
F*ck, youre shameless. Im still carrying the gas.
Lin Yi didnt know what his limit was, but hed run 17 minutes and 1 second before.
The eight kilometers in front of him was nothing to him, and it was easy for
him to win.
However, the road conditions in front of him were not good, which greatly limited his speed.
Other than that, he also had to help Zhou Liang carry the gas. The two of them spent nearly an hour before they arrived at the Cullen District.
Although this was a slum, it was like a paradise on earth for the two of them.
Looking at the scattered lights in front of him, Zhou Liang leaned against an earthen wall and panted heavily.
I finally f*cking understand how important peace is today. If anyone dares to say that foreign countries are good to me in the future, 111 go up and give them a big p.
Being far away from the mes of war made the two of them feel as if they had escaped death.
At the very least, they were no longer afraid. Their life was back in their hands, and they had some breathing space.
Lin Yi took out the crumpled box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Zhou Liang as if he was celebrating the peace that they were enjoying.
The two of them sat together and puffed out smoke. This moment was extremelyfortable.
However, at this moment, many people surrounded them and looked at the
two of them warily.
This was a slum. To the locals, seeing two Terran men here was like seeing two giant pandas running into the streets.
But what attracted them the most was the cigarette in Lin Yis hand.
Even though the slums could provide these basic living materials.
However, to them, cigarettes were an absolute luxury and could not be smoked casually.
Because these barefoot people were the poor of the slums, tobo was more attractive to them than those so-called luxury goods. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a hard currency.
Lin Yi nodded politely, then tossed the cigarette and lighter to them.
The poor people were so excited that they divided the remaining cigarettes in the box equally.
There were even cases where two or three people took turns to smoke one
cigarette.
Through the tobo diplomacy, Lin Yi gained the trust of the locals. Their eyes were no longer guarded, and they became friendly.
I really didnt expect a few cigarettes to have such a big effect. Zhou Liang said with a bitter smile.
You guys have never been poor and have never experienced such a life.
Is your family not rich?
1 came from an orphanage. My parents sold their blood to pay for their childs education. It was a tragic experience.
Zhou Liang had never experienced such a life before, so he didnt know how tofort LinYi.
The hard times are over. Youre now a famous tycoon in Huaxia. Your hard times have ended and the good times havee.
So Im quite curious, as someone born with a silver spoon, how did youe to view life and death so indifferently?
-I dont know, maybe it was the heat of the moment, beyond rational control, Zhou Liang shrugged, sitting cross-legged, and spoke thoughtfully.
Once, when I was dining with some friends, we saw a news story about a woman who identally fell into the water, and a man jumped in to save her.
The woman was rescued, but the man drowned.
Lin Yi flicked some ash from his cigarette, Ive heard that news story too, I really admire him.
Whats there to admire? He was a fool to trade his own life for someone rises, Zhou Liang said.
From another perspective, what youre saying makes sense too. Actually, before this, 1 had always thought the same way. I always thought that such people were not very smart. People only have one life, and living is more important than anything else. Zhou Liang grinned and said.
But during the day, I suddenly understood that sometimes emotions are not controlled by reason at all. I feel that if 1 can keep this io kilograms of ore, my life is not important at all.
-Youve ascended and found the true meaning of life, Lin Yi said with a smile. Look at you. Im sighing with emotion, but youre actuallyughing at me.
To be honest, Im notughing at you. Lin Yi said.
In the face of national justice, personal interests are too insignificant.
Indeed. Thats why I got over it at that time.
Lin Yi patted Zhou Liangs shoulder. Stay here for a while. Theres a shop in front. Ill go buy something and fill our stomachs first before thinking about what to do next.
Buy more. Im starving.
-Well see. I only have about $ioo left in my pocket. Ill buy as much as I can. Lin Yi stood up and walked towards the simple shop diagonally ahead of him.
Everyones gaze fell on Lin Yi.
In their opinion, Terrans with delicate bodies were the perfect targets for robbery.
Lin Yi didnt care about the others gazes and walked straight to the small shop. The shop was dpidated. The shelves were built of bricks and wood.
The surroundings were filled with an unpleasant smell. Flies swarmed in groups, and there were even cockroaches and rats in the corners.
The things sold in the small shop were also varied and strange, but most of them were fresh food. However, the packaging and design were mostly strange.
What made Lin Yi happy was that other than food, cigarettes and wine were also sold here, but the quality was not good.
However, at this moment, the quality problem was no longer important. He had to fill his stomach first.
After asking for the price, Lin Yi was even more surprised. The items were so cheap that he was amazed.
After buying arge bag of things, he only spent about 30 dors.
He felt that the money in his pocket was enough for him and Zhou Liang to live here for a week.
After buying things and returning to Zhou Liangs side, Lin Yi said,
Eat quickly. Well find a ce to hideter.
Zhou Liang took a piece of bread and ate it in big mouthfuls. However, he looked around to prevent any idents.
Why do I feel like these people are looking at us with a bad expression?
Lin Yi nodded. Thats why I told you to eat quickly. Someone mighte and rob us at any time.
If anyone dares to snatch my things, Ill f*cking kick his balls..
Chapter 1785: Lin Yi’s New Plan
Chapter 1785: Lin Yis New n
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The two of them continued boldly. They did not care about the onlookers at all
and as they ate.
Boss, whats the next step of the n? While eating, Zhou Liang asked.
The embassys signal has been cut off. Its unlikely well be able to get in touch
with them.
But we cant give up, Lin Yi said.
After dinner, lets find a ce to settle down and see if we can find anymunication tools nearby. If we cant contact the embassy, we can contact the country. However, whether we can find anymunication tools will depend on our luck.
The situation overseas waspletely different from domestically.
In Huaxia, almost everyone used cell phones, but it was different in the slums. Even tobo had be a hard currency. It was very difficult to find cell phones orndlines here.
Therefore, they could only try their luck.
Huh? Boss, hurry up and eat. You still have to work after getting your fill,
Zhou Liang, who was eating bread, said.
My stomach isnt feeling well, 1 wont eat for now, Lin Yi said.
Im almost done. Ill be done after finishing this bread.
Zhou Liang ate faster, and Lin Yi packed up his things, ready to leave at any time.
In such a ce, it should not be difficult to find a ce to take refuge.
Excuse me!
Just as the two of them were about to leave after eating, they heard voicesing from the crowd.
He looked up and saw more than ten men walking towards him.
Lin Yi looked up and realized that the people in front of him were all dressed
like hooligans.
However, they were wearing clothes. In the slums, they were considered rich, but their attitude didnt seem so friendly.
When they saw these people, the people who came to watch the smoke subconsciously retreated to the side and distanced themselves.
A dozen people stood in front of Lin Yi.
Huaxian, who asked you toe here?
The person who spoke was bald. He was wearing colorful beach pants and a tank top. There was a silver ne around his neck as he looked down at Lin
Yi.
His name was Basso, and he had great prestige in the slums.
His boss, Maxa, was the boss of the slums.
Although this ce was very poor, Maxa controlled more than 70% of the resources in the Cullen District. Anyone who came to the slums would not be able to escape their clutches.
This isnt your house. Cant we visit?
Of course, but you have to hand over half your supplies before I can let you
stay here.
Zhou Liang stuffed thest piece of bread in his hand into his mouth and took a sip of water.
I dont have any money, but I have a life. Do as you see fit.
Seeing Zhou Liang speak up, Lin Yi smiled and tranted for him, giving him the chance to show off.
You dont want to give the money? Baso said sternly.
If you cooperate, Ill only take half of your supplies. If we have to take action, well take everything you have!
Ill also advise you, dont think you can bully us just because were from Huaxia. Were all adults here, and youll have to pay the price for your actions.
Basso looked at Zhou Liang with a cold expression.
This ce is more chaotic than Huaxia. Now can protect you. If you dont cooperate, what happens next might make you regret your actions.
Ive already told you. I dont have any money, but I have a life. However, its still very unlikely for you to snatch that from us.
Basso did not reply. He waved at his subordinates behind him.
Do it. Take what they have, then drive them out of Cullen. Theyre not
wee here.
Two of Bassos subordinates walked out. Their primary target was Zhou Liang.
Zhou Liang did not hesitate. He jumped up and kicked one of them, sending him flying!
Then, he grabbed the other persons head and kicked him in the face.
Thetter screamed and rolled on the ground in pain.
However, Zhou Liang did not let up as he stepped on his neck. He could send him to drink tea with God if he exerted a little force.
Seeing Zhou Liang take down the two of them so easily, Basso and the others subconsciously retreated. They did not expect this Huaxian man in front of them to be so good at fighting.
Now, are you still going to snatch our things?
Bassos men continued to retreat, putting at least five meters between them.
Let me tell you, this is Boss Maxas territory. If you dare to attack our people, Boss Maxa will not let you off.
Take us to him. Ill see what he can do to me.
The person who spoke was not Zhou Liang, but Lin Yi.
Dont worry, even if you dont go willingly, Ill have someone escort you,
Basso said.
Then lets go, we dont want to cause too muchmotion.
Take them away.
Basso waved his hand, and his men positioned themselves behind Lin Yi and Zhou Liang. However, no one made any further moves, preparing to herd the two to face Maxa.
Zhou Liang, a bit puzzled, leaned in and whispered to Lin Yi.
Boss, do you have a new n?
The one called Maxa must be the slum lord. If we can meet him and take him down, we can establish a foothold, Lin Yi surveyed his surroundings and whispered back.
Then, using his resources, we could contact either the embassy or back home, and we could be saved.
Hearing Lin Yis words, Zhou Liang was enlightened.
He admired Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart. No wonder Boss could be the team leader of Team 1 at such a young age. His brain was much sharper than his.
The slum was built against a hill. One would easily notice that the height of the hill reflected the local residents status.
As one climbs higher up the hill, the houses improve in quality and there were more lights.
From this observation, it was clear that those living at the top of the hill seemed to be in better conditions.
Moreover, most importantly, there was a road built up the hill. Although it was somewhat rugged, driving was not an issue.
At this mountaintop location was a two-story building which was brightly lit inside. Standing outside, one could smell a faint scent of flowers.
Entering the courtyard, Lin Yi looked around.
The courtyard was about half the size of a football field, and it was filled with flowers and nts.
There were also four cars parked in a corner. Three of them were diesel cars with high horsepower, and thest one was a BMW 7 Series.
In a ce like Cullen District, you had to be someone special to own such a building and four cars at the same time!
He would be considered rich anywhere in the world.
Lin Yi smiled. It seemed that his guess was right.
What he needed to do next was to think of a way to take down that man called Maxa!
Chapter 1786: Danger Averted
Chapter 1786: Danger Averted
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Boss, the person who lives here seems to be very rich.
Of course. Just the BMW 7 Series alone is enough to show that the person
living in it is not simple.
But hes already so rich. Why is he still living in the slums? How degrading.
You underestimate human nature. Lin Yi said.
This is thergest slum in Pabem City. Even the police are unwilling toe here. Its a area outside thew. The people who rule here are like local emperors. They can control the resources of Cullen District at will and even form small-scale armed forces. If it were you, would you be willing to go elsewhere and be an ordinary person?
Hearing Lin Yis words, Zhou Liang was enlightened.
It was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. It was good to call the shots here.
Wait here for a while. Im going to inform Boss Maxa about this.
The two of them didnt speak. They stood quietly at the entrance of the vi.
Basso walked straight in.
However, in a few minutes, he walked out and said to Lin Yi,
Come in with me. Boss Maxa wants to see you.
Lin Yi nodded and whispered into Zhou Liangs ear.
Be careful when you go in. Maxa is considered a top figure. He might have learned about what happened during the day through the television and the news. Once you realize somethings wrong, restrain him immediately.
Understood! Zhou Liang said solemnly.
Under Bassos lead, the two of them arrived at the interior of the vi.
Unexpectedly, the vis design was very Huaxian.
There were many ces that reflected Huaxian elements, which surprised the two of them.
On the sofa sat a man in his forties. He had a drooping beard and was slightly plump. He looked very fit.
As expected, this man was Maxa.
Behind him stood two rows of people, who seemed to be his bodyguards and
servants.
From the moment he entered, Lin Yi had been observing Maxa.
He noticed that thetters facial expression did not change at all.
Judging from this, he did not seem to know what had happened during the day.
For the time being, he and Zhou Liang were safe.
When he saw the two of them, Maxa lit a cigar and crossed his legs, showing a superior attitude.
Why are you causing trouble in my territory? I hope you can give me an exnation.
You were the ones causing trouble.
Lin Yi pointed at Basso and said.
Your subordinates came to rob us. How can you say that Im the one causing trouble? The responsibility is on you.
This is my ce. If you stay here, youll have to hand over half your supplies. Thats the rule in Cullen.
Maxa flicked the ash from his cigarette.
Of course, youre Huaxians. Its fine if you dont understand the rules here. Moreover, I have a good impression of Huaxians. Im willing to give you a chance. As long as you hand over a third of the supplies, you can stay here.
Now the two of them understood why Maxas house had so many Huaxian elements. They didnt expect him to have such a strangeplex.
Sorry, we dont have much on us. We cant give you anything. Its better for you to just give up on those thoughts.
Maxas face tightened, feeling as if his authority had been challenged.
You should know what this ce is. Disobedient people get chopped up and dragged outside to feed the dogs!
Lin Yi shrugged. Your threat doesnt work on me. I came to find you not because Im afraid, but because youre useful to me.
What do you mean?!
Youre about to find out!
Lin Yi didnt say anything else. He exerted strength in his feet and rushed towards Maxa.
He used hisrge neck to grab Maxas neck and immediately restrained him.
What are you doing?!
Maxa panicked, not expecting this to happen.
At the same time, the bodyguards behind Maxa reacted immediately. They took out their weapon and aimed it at Lin Yi and Zhou Liang.
Put your guns down or Ill kill him!
Come on, put the guns down!
Facing the fierce Lin Yi, Masak panicked and ordered his subordinates behind him to put down their weapons.
Ah!
At this moment, a scream sounded!
Lin Yi and Zhou Liang turned their heads and saw a young woman walking in with freshly washed fruits.
The woman standing was very young. She looked to be in her early twenties, and the fruits had fallen to the ground.
Although her skin was not white, she was not brown. She was simr to an ordinary yellow-skinned Huaxian, but her eyes were a little sunken, and her nose bridge was high. She matched the characteristics of a foreigner.
He seemed to be of mixed-blood.
Zhou Liang made a prompt decision and rushed towards the young woman. He grabbed her neck and used her as a hostage.
What the hell are you doing?! Youre not allowed to touch my daughter! Maxa roared.
Seeing his daughter in danger, Maxa lost control of his emotions.
Behave yourself. Lin Yi said.
Tve already told you. As long as you cooperate obediently, the two of you wont be in danger. Although Im not a good person, I still have this bit of integrity.
What the hell do you want? Maxa said in a panic.
Dont worry, were not here for money or your life. You just have to do as I say and provide some help.
You can tell me what help you need. 111 do my best to satisfy you, but dont touch my daughter.
Dont worry, we Huaxians are much better than you. We wont touch your daughter, Lin Yi said.
I need a phone and fourputers. Prepare them now. If you cant prepare them in half an hour, prepare for your daughters funeral.
Alright, alright, alright. Dont be rash. Ill go prepare now.
After calming Lin Yi down, Maxa shouted at Basso,
What are you waiting for? Prepare the things ording to his request!
Ill go now.
Basso was also dumbfounded. He never dreamed that these two men would be so ruthless that they even dared to take Boss Maxa hostage!
Basso ran out, and Lin Yi and Zhou Liang heaved a sigh of relief.
Once theputer was in ce, they could easily avert the danger!
At this stage, things were finallying to an end.
Damn it! Zhou Liang cursed. When I return safely, I have toe back and do something to them!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as the two of them thought that they could heave a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard a series of gunshots outside the courtyard.
Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw Basso running back in a hurry and shouting desperately.
Boss, bad news. Theres a group of Meiguon soldiers outside. Theyre rushing up the mountain.. Many of them are injured!
Chapter 1787: The Might of a Great Country, Vast and Vast
Chapter 1787: The Might of a Great Country, Vast and Vast
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Bassos shout made Lin Yi and Zhou Liangs hearts rise to their throats again.
It was obvious that they were here to look for them!
However, they had just arrived here less than two hours ago!
Why was the other party so fast?!
Boss, what should we do now?
Zhou Liangs expression was extremely ugly.
Just as they were about to contact their own people, something like this happened.
This difference was like falling from heaven to hell!
Lin Yi suddenly turned around and grabbed Maxas neck.
Give me your car keys and the phone.
Here, heres my phone
Maxar trembled as he handed the phone over. The car keys are in the cab by the door. You can drive it as much as you want.
Lin Yi didnt waste any time. He took Maxas phone and ran towards the door, taking the keys to the Ford Raptor wth him.
Lets go!
What should we do with this woman? Should we take her as a hostage?
Maxas daughters face was deathly pale. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and her body trembled. She was so frightened that her face had lost its color.
Forget it. Bringing her along is a burden. Lets leave now. Itll be tooteter.
Okay!
Releasing Maxas daughter, the two of them grabbed the stolen weapons and gasoline. Together, they got into the Raptor parked in the yard and fled down the back path.
Zhou Liang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the gunshots behind him fade away.
Were finally safe.
Dont be careless. The danger isnt gone yet.
While driving, Lin Yi reminded, Keep an eye on your surroundings. Danger can appear at any time.
Understood!
Zhou Liang took out his weapon and sat in the back row to cover Lin Yi.
Boss, weve only been in Cullen for less than two hours. How did those people catch up? Zhou Liang said.
Did Maxa tip them off?
Thats unlikely. He doesnt know us. Secondly, we didnt give him a chance to tip him off. They probably found their way here.
We ran eight kilometers to get here. How could those people know our exact location?
Im puzzled too. Its too strange. Lin Yi frowned.
F*ck, I cant believe I was discovered even while hiding in a ce like the Cullen District. It feels like theres nowhere else to go.
We definitely cant stay in Panem City. Theres a small city called Santa ra dozens of kilometers away. Lets go there and lie low.
Santa ra? Isnt that a county in Meiguo?
Theres another one here with the same name.
Lin Yi looked around and said,
You have the phone, right? Use it now and see if you can contact Boss Liu.
The signal around the embassy had already been blocked, which included connection to the people from Team 1. It was very likely that their service had been restricted too.
In Lin Yis further ns, Panem City was no longer an option.
They needed to find a way to contact headquarters.
Zhou Liang took out his phone, attempting to call the Central Guards Brigade headquarters.
However, upon hearing the doa; tone, Zhou Liang cursed,
Its a waste of time, international calling isnt enabled.
Then go online and send an email. Lets inform them of our situation and try to get someone sent over to help.
Okay!
Yanjing, Central Guards Brigade base.
Themand center was engulfed in silence, as they hadpletely lost contact with Lin Yi.
Even within the city, due to signal issues, the information transmission was intermittent.
Liu Hong felt like he was blind, possessing great strength yet unable to use it.
Dont worry too much, Old Liu. With Lin Yis capabilities, hes likely fine.
The speaker was Cao Jiadu, the head of Teams 5 to 8 of Central Guards Brigade, who was primarily responsible for scientific research tasks.
Looking at the data avable, Liu Hong analyzed,
Weve received a report of a fire on Sangma Street, caused by a vehicle ignition. The vehicle involved was a Land Cruiser, which is very likely the one Lin Yi and Zhou Liang were driving.
I guess Lin Yi did this on purpose. The two of them should have escaped.
Liu Hong held the map of Panem City in his hand and pondered carefully for a few seconds.
The area near Sangma Street is considered a suburb. After burning the car, I dont think Lin Yi would stay there. Its very likely that he went to Cullen District eight kilometers away. Thats thergest slum in Panem. Its a ce with all kinds of people. Its very suitable for hiding.
It had to be said that Liu Hong didnt be the leader of the Central Guards Brigade by luck.
His tactical literacy andbat strength were also on another level.
Otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to guess Lin Yis movements with this information.
However, the problem now is that even if we know this information, it is useless. The local area has been sealed off. Our people will not be able to enter, Cao Jiadu said.
Im guessing that Lin Yi had also thought of this. With his personality, he should think of a way to contact us after ensuring his own safety.
Liu Hong sighed. I reckon that in another ten hours, the people from Team 2 and Team 3 will arrive. If we can give them enough support via firepower, we wont have to be afraid.
No one said anything. All they could do now was wait.
As time passed, thebat conference room was filled with smoke as cigarette butts littered the ground. This seemed to represent everyones anxiety.
After more than two hours, themunications officer in front of theputer eximed,
Ive received news!
Theyve been attacked in Cullen. Theyre moving toward the western city of Santa ra!
As soon as he said that, everyone in the conference room became excited.
No one expected the news toe so suddenly!
How did you get the message? I want to talk to them!
I cant talk to them yet. They sent it via Twitter.
Lets confirm their situation first and see if theyre injured. Ask Lin Yi about his next step.
Themunications officer followed Liu Hongs instructions and sent all the messages over. Soon, they got a reply.
The two of them are in rtively good condition, but they hope we can send reinforcements. Theyre short on equipment and are in a very passive position!
Liu Hong fell silent and turned to look at Lu Beichen.
The problem now was that their own side was constrained. Aside from Groups 2 and 3, providing firepower support was extremely difficult.
Ive already sent out the notice, and were negotiating with the other side. If we cant reach an agreement within the next three hours, well proceed with a forceful intervention into the city.
Forceful intervention
Lu Beichen spoke these words lightly.
However, it resonated powerfully when the others heard it.
The implication was clear.
Three hours was the ultimatum. If the other side still disagreed and refused to cooperate, then they would take direct action!
Then!
He would just start fighting!

With Lu Beichens support, Liu Hong and the rest felt much more confident.
They couldnt guarantee anything else, but with Lin Yis ability, it wouldnt be a problem for him tost for three hours.
Ill pass the message on to them.
Then, Liu Hong said to themunications officer, Send the news over. Tell them to be careful and report their location whenever possible!
Yes!
In Panama, Lin Yi was driving with Zhou Liang on the highway.
What did Boss Liu say?
Theyre negotiating with the officials. If theres still no result in three hours, theyll force their way in. Moreover, the people from Team 2 and Team 3 are on their way, but theyll only arrive in about ten hours.
Ten hours
Lin Yi pondered for a moment. As long as we can reach Santa ra safely, that
wont be a big problem.
Boss Lius order is for us to hide and keep in touch with him. When the reinforcements arrive, well be saved.
After youre done updating him on the important things, dont talkto him anymore. Use your electricity sparingly. You cant find a ce to charge it now.
Understood.
Aftermunicating with Liu Hong, the two of them each focused on their
own matters.
Lin Yi drove, and Zhou Liang was in charge of covering them as they drove towards Santa ra.
Lin Yi didnt say a word along the way.
He had a feeling that something had gone wrong.
Why would the other party be able to pinpoint Cullen District so quickly?
Could it be that they had guessed his movements?
Although this was a possibility, Lin Yi felt that it was very unlikely.
They were not Liu Hong and did not know him well. It was not easy to guess his movements.
But this was something Lin Yi had always cared about.
At this juncture, the slightest movement could bring about a destructive effect.
He could not be careless.
Other than that, Lin Yi was even more worried about the men in ck.
As long as these people did not show themselves, the danger would not be resolved.
Even if Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che came over, it would be useless.
With their methods, they would not care about this.
Moreover, there was still a huge gap between the two teams. Even if Team 2 and Team 3 were included, they might not be their match.
Because it was very likely that the men in ck would bring hispanions over likest time.
Because of this, Lin Yi felt that the matter in front of him was nothing. There was still more dangers awaiting him.
Even if they managed to escape to Santa ra, it might not help.
This was what Lin Yi was most worried about.
Due to its rtively small size, Santa ra was not far from Panem City. It was
only about 60 kilometers away.
After an hour or so, Lin Yi arrived at the ce.
Santa ra was a small coastal city, equivalent to a fourth- or fifth-tier city in Huaxia.
The only thing of note here was the scenery.
Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was already past three in the morning, and the night was the best cover. The two of them srnicl the city without anyone suspecting them.
The two of them walked around the city, and finally, Lin Yi stopped at the entrance of a restaurant.
Boss, what are you acting like a thief?
Although weve rushed here, its not absolutely safe. We have to find a ce to hide.
Lin Yi pointed to a small hotel diagonally in front of them. Lets hide there for a while. The reinforcements will arrive in a few hours.
Then why did you park here?
Its a cover-up. If someonees after us, well be able to discover them immediately and escape through the back door.
Lin Yi said,
Leave the gasoline in the car. If we encounter danger again, ignite the gasoline to create panic so that the two of us can escape.
Then what are we waiting for? Lets go now.
Lets wait a little longer. Dont be anxious. If the conditions permit, lets wait
until dawn before going in.
Why is that?
Its past three in the morning. Most people are asleep. If the two of us knock on the door in the middle of the night, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Normal people wont do such a thing. Itll be logical when the sun rises. If theres really an ident, we can still drive away. Weve made preparations for that.
Awesome!
Zhou Liang gave Lin Yi a thumbs up, full of admiration for him.
Unknowingly, more than an hour had passed, and the sky was already starting to brighten.
Zhou Liang saw the door of the small hotel open. A man in slippers walked out with a cigarette in his mouth.
He was still cleaning the front door with a broom in his hand. From the looks of
it, he should be the owner of the hotel.
However, Lin Yi was in no hurry to get out of the car. After waiting for a while and seeing that someone had entered to check in, he called Zhou Liang out. After packing up briefly, the two of them walked towards the small hotel.
Lin Yi still had more than a hundred dors in his pocket. It wasnt much, but with the prices here, it wasnt a big problem.
After some negotiation, the two of them asked for a room by the window on the second floor. This was also convenient for them to observe the situation downstairs.
Lin Yi stood in front of the window and looked at the small city slowly waking up from the darkness. This fleeting moment of stability and peace was precious to him.
Tell Boss Liu our location. The rest is up to the heavens.
Following Lin Yis orders, Zhou Liang told Liu Hong his exact location. All that was left was a long wait.
After staring by the window for a while, Lin Yis eyes hurt. He turned around and saw that Zhou Liang was already asleep, holding a gun in his arms.
The immense exhaustion overwhelmed him. His mind was overloaded, and he could no longer support his body.
Lin Yi didnt say anything. He washed his face with some water and looked much more energetic. Then, he continued to stand in front of the window to watch in case anything happened.
Though small, the sparrow has all its vital organs.
This modest inn might be simple, but its equipped with some food and mineral water, a simrity it shares with hotels in Huaxia, serving as a way to generate revenue.
With his body enhanced by systemic modifications, Lin Yis physical capabilities far exceeded those of ordinary people. However, he was still flesh and blood, and the prolonged, high-intensity workload had begun to wear him down. Eating some of the food avable on the table, he finally felt some relief in his stomach.
Time passed minute by minute. In the blink of an eye, it was already past seven in the morning.
Lin Yi estimated the time.
in another two to three hours, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che should be able to reach this ce.
Secondly, ording to Liu Hongs update, they had already started to force their way in.
But there was no movement on his side.
Presumably, his allies movements over there had been obstructed. Otherwise, they should have arrived by now
At the thought of this, Lin Yis expression suddenly froze, and his expression turned ugly.
Chapter 1789: The Snitch
Chapter 1789: The Snitch
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The order to forcefully intervene was given by Lu Beichen.
With his swift and decisive personality, he would definitely do what he said.
However, there were many factors involved in this matter.
There was still a certain difficulty in achieving it logistically.
With the current situation, with all the factions gathered together, Huaxias deployment would definitely be obstructed. This was almost certain.
But he and Zhou Liang were in Santa ra.
No one knew about this yet.
Liu Hong already knew his exact location.
Coupled with the fact that it was not far away, they would be able to send people over very quickly and would not be stopped.
But now, there was still no movement in the city.
An ominous voice told Lin Yi that something he didnt want to see might have happened.
This information had been exposed, and they had been stopped when they rushed over to help!
Wakeup!
Lin Yi threw the remaining half bottle of mineral water at Zhou Liang.
Thetter suddenly woke up.
I only slept for two minutes. Did something happen?
How many minutes? Its already more than two hours.
Zhou Liang rubbed his eyes like a deted ball.
I cant take it anymore. Im too tired. I cant take it anymore.
Be alert. I have a bad feeling. We seem to have been exposed.
Weve only been here for a few hours. How could our whereabouts have been exposed? Moreover, were so well hidden. Its impossible.
I wish Im proven wrong, but it never hurts to be careful.
Boss, I thinkyoure too nervous. Nothing will go wrong.
Zhou Liang stood up and said, Go and sleep for a while. Ill be in charge of keeping watch.
I cant sleep anymore. Just hold on for a few more hours and well hear from Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che. Just hold on.
Chug chug chug!
Chug chug chug!
Just as the two of them were talking, they heard the roar of an engine.
He looked out of the window and saw two rusty SUVs driving over from afar.
However, what surprised the two of them the most was that the two old SUVs actually stopped at the entrance of the small hotel.
Seven or eight people got out of the car. They were wearing military green camouge uniforms and holding weapons in their hands. They looked like they wanted to rush in.
Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads!
This was because these people all had the same symbol on their bodies, a ck cobra!
It was the person who had besieged them at the Bureau the morning before!
F*ck! Are these people dogs? Theyre here so quickly!
BANG!
At this moment, gunshots were heard. Looking down, they realized that the owner of the small hotel had died under their gunfire!
Screams came from the street. People passing by covered their heads and fled like crazy. They began to find cover to protect themselves.
Do it! Ill take the front, you take the back!
Roger that!
The two of them set up their weapons by the window and took aim in an instant!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a few gunshots, three people fell to the ground. The remaining five raised their weapons at the same time and aimed in Lin Yi and Zhou Liangs direction.
Because there was no difference in number between the two sides, and Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had the upper hand, the remaining five were wiped out in less than a minute!
Lets go, jump down!
With amand, the two of them jumped out of the window one after another and rushed to their Raptor parked at the entrance of the restaurant.
They stepped on the elerator and the Raptor roared as it sped into the distance.
Damn it, could those people have locked onto us through radar?!
If its just a radar lock, thats nothing. The most terrifying thing is that theres a mole in the Central Guards Brigade!
Zhou Liang panicked. Lin Yis guess made his heart pound.
Thats unlikely. How could such a person appear in the Central Guards Brigade?
I dont want to believe it either. The facts before me all point to this possibility.
As he spoke, Lin Yi looked around. After confirming that there was no danger, he continued.
It may have been a coincidence that we were found in Cullen, but then we were found in Santa ra. That speaks for itself.
Zhou Liang fell silent and did not say anything.
Because these two things were too coincidental.
Just now, ck Snakes men did not look around. They even saw a car but did not pay it any attention. Instead, they rushed straight to the small hotel.
If there was no concrete information in their hands, Zhou Liang would never believe that they would go straight here!
Therefore, there was a high chance that there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade!
Pour the gasoline. Lin Yi said.
Soon, more and more people wille to Santa ra. We should create chaos first, this will create an opportunity to escape.
Understood!
Zhou Liang opened the gasoline can and poured out a portion of it through the window. Then, he used the bullets to ignite it.
The raging fire began to burn, and ck smoke obscured ones vision, providing a good opportunity for the two of them to break out of the encirclement.
Lin Yi drove the car in a different direction, and Zhou Liang started setting fire everywhere.
In an instant, Santa ra was a city wrapped in mes. There was smoke and dust everywhere, and visibility was less than ten meters.
Boss, be careful. Theres someone ahead!
Just as Zhou Liang reminded him, the ss window was instantly shattered, and fragments flew in all directions.
Lin Yi suddenly lowered his head. A shard still cut the skin on his arm, and blood appeared on his face.
The car lost control and crashed into a telephone pole.
Fortunately, Lin Yi reacted quickly and pulled the car back to the right path. Otherwise, the two of them would have died.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another series of shots rang out, striking the steel tes of the Raptor.
The nking sounds caused the big fellow to be riddled with holes, but it still shouldered its mission.
In the back seat, Zhou Liang set up his weapon and responded with fierce gunfire. At the same time, he created an opportunity for Lin Yi.
Under such conditions, if they did not counterattack, the two of them would not be able tost for more than a few minutes.
Sit tight, Im turning!
With a reminder, Lin Yi turned the steering wheel and turned into a small alley.
It was very difficult to fit the huge body of the Raptor on the narrow street.
The distance between them and either wall was less than ten centimeters. If Lin Yis driving skills werent superb, he would have hit the wall.
But even so, there were still scratches on both sides.
The cars side mirrors had already been knocked off.
However, with the pursuers behind him, Lin Yi didnt dare to slow down. He had to maintain a high speed.
Zhou Liang gripped his gun and fired at the pursuers behind him!
However, facing the concentrated fire of more than ten people, his little firepower was like a drop in the bucket. It was difficult for him to withstand it!
F*ck, boss, theres a roadblock ahead!
Chapter 1790: Moment of Life and Death
Chapter 1790: Moment of Life and Death
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
1 Sit tight, 1
1 m reversing now!
Lin Yi was so nervous that his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
There was a roadblock in front of the alley. Once he drove out, his tires would explode. One could only imagine the oue.
The only way to avoid this was to reverse the car and go back. He couldnt lose the car until he was sure he was safe.
Im ready!
Lin Yi put the car in reverse and stepped hard on the elerator.
The Raptors engine roared again. White smoke appeared under the tires, indicating that the car was going to die of old age, even without any external reason.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Because he was in reverse, Lin Yis vision was blocked. Zhou Liang fired a few more shots behind him, trying to cover for him.
However, the enemys firepower became even more ferocious. Zhou Liangs cover was almost useless.
Lin Yi ducked his head low and could only drive by feeling.
F*ck!
Seeing Lin Yi reverse the car back, the pursuers cursed and retreated.
If they were crushed by such a big car, they would be crippled even if they didnt die.
Soon, Lin Yi returned the car to the original road.
There were still arge number of soldiers on the street, wearing different uniforms, all pointing their guns at Lin Yi.
From the corner of his eye, Lin Yi saw an alley of the same size twenty meters ahead, but it was behind the crowd.
He had to rush over!
Boss, can the car hold on?
Definitely not. Lin Yi said.
How much oil is left in the barrel?
Theres nothing left.
Listen to my instructionster. Light it up.
Huh?
Zhou Liang was stunned. Did you tell me to light it up inside the car?
Thats right.
Lin Yi didnt say anything else and continued to elerate!
BANG!
An explosion sounded!
The tires were shot and the car lost control in an instant. It spun several times on the spot!
Lin Yi gritted his teeth. After stepping on the brakes, he forcefully gained control of the car and rushed towards the crowd in front!
The people who came to surround him didnt expect Lin Yi to be so brave. He hadnt given up even in this state!
Left with no choice, the people in front of him scattered to the side.
Lin Yi rushed off the road and turned towards the path ahead. At the same time, he shouted at Zhou Liang,
Light it up!
At this moment, Zhou Liang had already disregarded his life.
After hearing Lin Yis order, he lit the gasoline can immediately.
Although there was not much gasoline left in the car, it was still set aze. Even the car was on fire.
At the same time, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang escaped, but the big guy under them died of old age as itspleted its mission.
The burning Raptor blocked the entrance of the alley, forming a natural barrier.
This also created an opportunity for Lin Yi and Zhou Liang to run into the alley. Boss, run quickly. Ill cover for you from behind.
Bullsh*t! LinYi scolded, Youre working under me, how could I let you stay behind! Run!
Lin Yi grabbed Zhou Liangs arm and pulled him behind him.
Get the f*ck out of here!
Zhou Liang gritted his teeth and ran forward. After a round of gunfire, Lin Yi caught up to him from behind and said loudly,
Theres a manhole cover in front. Open it and hide inside!
While facing manhole cover, the two of them stuck their fingers into it and instantly opened it.
Boss, jump first. Ill cover for you this time!
Do you want me to dance a few times first? Get the f*ck down.
Lin Yi didnt care too much. He kicked Zhou Liang into the sewer.
Zhou Liang reacted quickly and grabbed thedder on one side.
The silt below was like a swamp. If one fell in, it would be difficult to climb back up.
Immediately following, Lin Yi also descended, grabbing the maintenance handlebars and closing the manhole cover behind him.
The entire sequence was executed smoothly, taking no more than five seconds.
A foul stench hit them in the face, which would have made anyone else feel nauseous.
But in such a life-or-death moment, finding even a brief respite felt like a new lease on life for the two of them.
Just then, shouts echoed from above their heads.
This was followed by hurried footsteps.
From these details, Lin Yi estimated that at least twenty to thirty people passed over their hiding spot.
Suddenly, they noticed the light in the sewer dim.
When they realized that the manhole cover was being stepped on, their hearts couldnt help but beat faster, and their expression became nervous.
Where did they go? They just came in. Where have they gone?!
Im sure that they havent gone far. They must be hiding somewhere. As long as we search this area, well definitely be able to find them!
Seal off this ce first. I believe they wont have gone far!
The hearts of the two people under the manhole cover pounded like thunder, almost jumping out of their throats.
They had lived for more than 20 years, but they had never been so nervous.
As time passed, the people standing on the manhole lid still hadnt left. They could hear their own hearts beating violently.
Suddenly, sunlight seeped through the hole in the manhole cover again, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
To them, these long minutes were like several springs, summers, autumns, and winters.
However, it was not the seasons that changed, but life and death.
The two of them felt relieved. Even though the air didnt smell good, they felt like they smelled a hint of sweetness.
After a few more minutes, there was no sound from above. Zhou Liang whispered,
Boss, we cant contact Boss Liu now, right?
Lin Yis lips curled into a strange smile.
Of course. Lin Yi said.
Give them a fake location and well have a chance to catch our breath.
Zhou Liangs eyes lit up.
ording to his previous guess, there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade.
If he reported a fake location, it would attract the attention of these people, and he would be safe for the time being.
Boss, youre the best. I suspect that you have a 16-core CPU in your head.
Alright, stop talking nonsense. Send the message first. Otherwise, the two of us will die from the stench.
Sure thing.
Zhou Liang took out his phone from his pocket.
However, the moment they took out their phones, both of them were stunned.
In the conflict just now, the phone screen had shattered again. It was impossible to use it again.
What the f*ck!
Lin Yi cursed. He was really unlucky this time.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Yi touched the ore wrapped around his body.
Everything would be okay as long as they still had it.
But Lin Yi couldnt give a clear answer as to what to do next.
Chapter 1791: A Complicated Situation
Chapter 1791: A Complicated Situation
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Boss, what should we do now? Are we going to hide here forever? Zhou Liang asked softly.
Even if we dont die from the stench, well eventually starve to death.
Well talk about it tonight. Going out now is suicide.
Although they had not run out of ammunition and food, they had already lost contact with the outside world.
The foreigners were all standing guard outside. This ce had be a surrounded area. They were now in dire straits. Whether he could get out depended on his luck.
However, through all the signs, Lin Yi felt that the instigator of this matter was very likely targeting him.
Initially, Lin Yis analysis was that criminals were attempting to smuggle the ore they had acquired secretly into Huaxia.
Now, it seemed this possibility was very low.
The real intention appeared to be using the ore to divert the enemys attention to himself, and then to fulfill their goal of eliminating him.
As for the situation at the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi was almost certain that there was a mole. Otherwise, such a coincidence could not have happened.
However, he could only deal with these things when he returned.
Unfortunately, he did not know if he could even go back.
Boss, the people from Team 2 and Team 3 should be here soon.
If Im not wrong, they should already be here, but I dont know where they are. Lin Yi said.
We can only pray to the heavens that they can take the initiative to find this ce. Only then will we have a small chance of surviving.
Ive never done anything good since I was young. I dont think the heavens will care about me. You should pray.
Were the same. Im afraid that after I pray, the heavens will strike us with lightning and we ll both die.
If I can go back, Ill eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha for the rest of my life. Ill be a good person.
What about abstinence?
As the old saying goes, food and sex are the same. If you ask me to abstain from sex, isnt it equivalent to not letting me eat? That wont be good.
Haha
Although the situation outside was precarious, the two of them were chatting andughing.
The two of them stayed in the sewer for more than ten hours.
Not to mention Zhou Liang, even Lin Yi couldnt take it.
Her arms were sore, and he needed to change his posture continuously to ease the soreness in his body.
Coupled with the harsh environment, his body could not fully stretch, and his posture was very distorted.
These were the main reasons for their physical decline.
It waste at night, but they could still hear the voices outside.
The danger was not far away. They could not act rashly.
As time passed, the sun rose in the east and set in the west. The two of them stayed in the sewer in this state for two days and two nights.
Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had long stopped thinking about how they hadsted for so long.
At this moment, their minds transcended their bodies. Exhaustion no longer affected them.
Over the past two days, the foreign forces had sealed this area tightly.
Almost every ten minutes, they could hear voicesing from above.
Moreover, there were people walking over their heads, and there was even the sound of motorcycles.
This was something Lin Yi had never thought about before.
He originally thought that after hiding here for some time, the other party would let down their guard and he would be able to find an opportunity to escape.
However, they did not expect the group of foreigners to be so persistent. After two days and two nights, they did not give up.
Moreover, they even took such a strict approach to guarding this ce.
After this incident, Lin Yi had a new perspective on the foreigners.
Even though they had yet toprehend thebat technique of exerting force in their dantian.
However, their tactical literacy was higher than he had imagined.
They were not a motley crew.
Boss, theres still no movement from Team 2 and Team 3. Could there be a mistake? Zhou Liang muttered.
Why doesnt it feel like a surprise attack at all?
Its possible. Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Its been such a long time. Even if they walked, they should have been able to reach us. Yet, they havent arrived yet. They might have been stopped, so lets not count on them. We have to think of a way out and rely on ourselves.
That cant be. Those people cant be so bold. Theyre from the Huaxia government!
They blew up the Pentagon. What else cant they do?
Lin Yi adjusted his position. Keeping the same posture for a long time made his joints feel like they were rusted.
Even the slightest movement was extremely painful.
The current international situation is far moreplicated than you think. Moreover, ten kilograms of ore is far more important than you think. The fact that the Meiguons are here to disrupt the situation makes things even more unscrupulous.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Liang said,
Ive calcted carefully. There are more than twenty foreign forcesbined. With so many people mixed together, wont there be internal strife? This might be our breakthrough.
Thats unlikely. Lin Yi voiced out his thoughts.
If there were internal strife, it would have happened long ago. There hasnt been any major conflict until now, and theres a high chance that it wont happen in the future. With the Meiguons here as the stabilizing force, those foreigners will have to think twice.
Everyone knows how powerful Meiguo is. Even if the people outside the borders join forces, they wont be their match. Arent they afraid of letting others benefit?
Because Huaxia is getting stronger and stronger. Even if the Meiguons cant get the ores, they have to think of a way to establish their prestige in this matter, Lin Yi said.
Think about it. If they seed in this operation, their future international reputation will reach an unprecedented height. The bootlickers of other countries will be even more crazily attached to them. We will be even more isted. In the long run, the impact of this matter will be unprecedented.
Lin Yi paused and continued.
So now, while theyre searching for the two of us, squaring off against Huaxias armed forces is also their main task.
inly put, their purpose is unified against the reinforced armed forces, but its scattered when ites to dealing with us.
Compared to the Meiguons, these foreigners are definitelycking in some respects, but they have high mobility and arent bound by international rules, something the Meiguons cant match, since, no matter how shameless, they still have some dignity.
So right now, were like grasshoppers trapped in a box, Zhou Liang said.
Whether we can get out or not will depend on the heavens.
Lin Yi shrugged. Theres nothing we can do now. We can only wait for an opportunity. Either we kill them or we starve to death.
If I really starve to death, Ill die aggrieved.
Lin Yi patted the ore tied to his body and sighed.
Its all because of this..

Zhou Liang grinned. Ten kilograms of ore has caused such a hugemotion. To be honest, Im starting to want to go to Tilia Ind to see what its like there.
There will be plenty of opportunities for that. Take the money and buy yourself insurance. Mark your parents as the beneficiaries. If something ends up happening, they can use the money to fund a second or third child, Lin Yi joked.
Lets not talk about that. After passing the assessment, 1 used 50 million yuan to buy insurance. Guess what happened?
Rejected?
Thats right. They rejected me the moment they saw my profession.
In other words, you dont have insurance?
Not exactly. My family is originally from a rural area, and we have this rural cooperative medical system. The annual premium is only 120 yuan.
Uh alright, having some coverage is better than none at all.
1 cant even think about insurance anymore. Im starving, Zhou Liang said with a grin.
It was clear that his mental state was at its limit.
Lets wait a little longer. Lin Yiforted.
-I feel that the intensity of their search is not as high soon. Perhaps well get an
opening soon.
Okay!
Zhonghai Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Ji Qingyan held her forehead. Her face was haggard, her hair was disheveled, and herplexion was not as good as before.
She looked extremely worn out.
She was not the only one in the house. He Yuanyuan sat beside her.
Qin Han, Liang Jinming, and Gao Zongyuan were also there.
For the past few days, He Yuanyuan did not even go to thepany. She left all thepanys matters to Tian Yan.
She had been staying at the Jiuzhou Pavilion to apany Ji Qingyan, afraid that she would suffer from depression.
After losing contact with Lin Yi, they gathered together and learned about the situation in Panem through their connections.
Riots!
Lockdown!
Shootings!
Word after word on the news constantly stimted their sensitive nerves.
Because Lin Yi was still there and had yet toe out.
If they could contact him, they would not be so worried.
But now, they had lost contact with him for three days.
Even when they asked the relevant departments, there was no news. This cast a heavy shadow on their hearts.
Senior Sister, dont be so negative. Dont you know what kind of person the boss is? He Yuanyuanforted her.
Even if everyone in the world died, he would still be fine. Its probably just a minor issue, like a signal interruption, thats why we cant contact him.
He Yuanhuan has never been particrly good atforting people. She knew that her words might sound feeble and repetitive. By now, she had said them so many times that even she was getting tired of them.
I know.
Ji Qingyan ran her fingers through her hair. She had not rested well for the past few days, causing her mental state to deteriorate.
Dark circles and stress found their way to her.
Among these people, she knew Lin Yi the best.
She also knew that Lin Yi was very clever and skilled inbat; ordinary dangers couldnt really harm him.
However, another voice in her mind kept telling her that this was just her wishful thinking.
If all idents could be anticipated and calcted, then there would be no such thing as idents in the world.
We need to be more open-minded. Even if we worry, it wont solve anything,
He Yuanhuan said.
-As for the bosss identity, hes not just a businessman. He has a powerful background. Even if theres danger, the officials will protect him. Dont worry. If hes out of danger, hell definitely contact me immediately. But theres no news at all now. How can 1 be at ease?
Sister-inw, Ive already asked someone to investigate. Therell be news soon. We cant panic. Brother Lin is awesome. Hell be fine, Liang Jinming said.
Weve really troubled you.
What are you talking about? Arent we all on the same side? We cant sit still if Brother Lin is suddenly uncontactable.
Ji Qingyan did not say anything else. She supported her forehead with one hand and leaned against the side of the sofa as if she did not even have the strength to speak.
Qin Han felt upset and gave Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan a look. The three of them walked out one after another to the pavilion in the courtyard and lit a cigarette.
Didnt the two of you get someone to investigate this? Is there any news? Qin
Han asked.
With the Qin familys connections, if you couldnt find anything, what chance would we have? Gao Zongyuan said.
-Theres no news at all at the moment. It seems the authorities have sealed off this matter. Not a single word has been leaked.
Its way too quiet. It feels a little unusual. Qin Han said,
Ive found some information, but none of it is rted to Old Lin.
That might be intentional, Gao Zongyuan said.
If this news is released, the share prices of the subsidiaries under Lingyun Group will plunge. It might even cause turmoil in the A-shares market. Its normal for them to restrict all news about Brother Lin.
Buti if he is fine, why would they need to restrict any news? Qin Han scolded. Beside him, Liang Jinming took a few puffs of his cigarette. Something might have happened.
The two of them focused their gazes on Liang Jinming.
Nothing goodes out of a dogs mouth. What are you saying? Gao
Zongyuan scolded.
Im not spouting nonsense. Liang Jinming said with a deep expression. In truth, the things we see are just Brother Lins identity on the surface. He still has other secret identities.
Liang Jinming recalled what had happened in Sunrise Land.
Brother Lin had killed many people in one go. Moreover, when he arrived at the embassy there, he was warmly received. Ordinary people would not receive such treatment.
Even he didnt have the guts to do so.
Most importantly, ordinary people did not have the qualifications to participate in such an event.
For these reasons, Liang Jinming boldly guessed that Brother Lin might not be a victim of this incident.
Rather, he was a participant!
What identity?
1 dont know, Liang Jinming shrugged and said:
But think about it, a few days ago, didnt we have dinner with a few of Brother Lins friends? Do you think they seemed like ordinary people?
Liang Jinmings words served as a reminder, and both of them recalled the scene of the dinner that day.
Those people, although wealthy heirs, had an extraordinary aura about them. Despite being very open and social, there were moments when they exuded an intense and formidable presence.
At the time, no one paid much attention to these details, being too caught up in the fun and enjoyment.
Thinking back now, those people might be moreplex than they seemed. -I remember, a few days ago Brother Lin called me to set up a meeting to entertain a few friends, and he specifically warned me not to have any ulterior motives about them. Maybe he said that because of their unique identities..

Now that you mention it, I also thought of something strange. Gao Zongyuan
said.
A few days ago, when Director Qi was sent back to the country, Yuanyuan and I went to see him and met his secretary, Wang Nan, who had returned to the
country with him.
She told me that Brother Lin went to Panem with eight other people. From her description, it sounded like they were the eight people who ate with us that
day.
Thats right. They went together. Liang Jinming said.
Also, did you guys notice? When we were eating, those people either called him Brother Lin or Boss. They must be Brother Lins subordinates, so their identities and connections are definitely not straightforward.
Then you might be right about this. Qin Han said,
Its really possible that Old Lin isnt a victim of this matter, but a participant.
Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan trembled.
If Brother Lin was a participant in this matter
Then it would be hard to predict what the current situation was.
Moreover, with his ability and intelligence, he should be able to get out of danger very quickly and contact them.
But up to now, theres been no news at all, not a single message, which indicated that he was still not out of danger.
After such a prolonged silence, they cant imagine what could be keeping Lin Yi
so upied that he couldnt even send a message.
The same thought has begun to emerge in everyones minds.
It was also the oue they least wanted to face.
What should we do now? Are we just going to wait here like idiots? Liang
Jinming lit another cigarette and said angrily.
I feel like were idiots. We can only stay here and worry. We cant help at all.
Should we ask Secretary Liang? Gao Zongyuan asked.
Brother Lin seems to have a good rtionship with her. Shes also an official, so she should know the details.
F*ck, what are we waiting for? Lets go over now.
Qin Han threw away his cigarette butt and the three of them got into the car together and drove towards the courtyard.
When they reached the entrance, Qin Han and the other two revealed their identities one after another.
The guard did not stop him.
These were all famous entrepreneurs in Zhonghai. Thus, he couldnt stop them.
When they entered the building, they found out that Liang Ruoxu had gone to Yanjing for a meeting and was not in Zhonghai.
They didnt know when she would be back, which cast a shadow over their hearts.
An Audi A4 stopped at the entrance of the Huarun Group.
Wait here for me for a while.
The driver was Chen Yan. When she found out that Liang Ruoxu wasing back, she went to the airport to pick thetter up.
Got it.
Liang Ruoxu wore a mask and walked into the building with her head lowered. Then, she took the elevator and went straight to Shen Shuyis office.
Shen Shuyi, who was handling documents, was not surprised to see Liang
Ruoxu return.
She had even predicted it.
Whats the situation over there?
As soon as she entered the room, Liang Ruoxu went straight to the point.
Coming back after such a long time, and the first thing you do is ask about his situation. All these years raising you seems wasted, Shen Shuyi said.
Its because you all were so evasive over the phone, never telling me anything directly, otherwise I wouldnt havee back.
Liang Ruoxu had been very busy with work in Zhonghai, and since the incident urred, she had been constantly calling home to inquire about the situation.
However, the information she received was always vague and unhelpful.
This morning, she had postponed all her work and took a flight back to Yanjing.
Im not lying to you. I really dont know about Lin Yis situation. How can you not know? I dont believe my grandfather and father wouldnt have told you anything.
Calm down, Shen Shuyi said.
If you continue to have such a bad temper, you wont be able to achieve anything great in the future.
After being scolded by Shen Shuyi, Liang Ruoxu sat back in her chair.
You know Lin Yis abilities and techniques. Ordinary things won t be a problem for him, but its been three to four days, and theres no news. How can I not start worrying?
Shen Shuyis eyes darkened. After a few seconds of silence, she said, To tell you the truth, what I told you on the phone was not to brush you off. I really dont know his situation. And its not just me. No one in the world knows where he went now.
Liang Ruoxus eyes widened.
The whole world doesnt know? How is that possible?
What Im going to tell you next is the most sensitive of secrets. Only you can know this. If its leaked, the impact on the Liang family will be irreversible.
Liang Ruoxu did not expect her mother to speak to her with this kind of tone.
It meant that this matter had already escted to the highest level.
I know, I know.
Lin Yi and the rest were expecting shipments from Bazil to Huaxia. You should know about this, right?
Liang Ruoxu nodded. I do.
There was a problem with those goods. They found bass ore inside.
Bass ore!
Liang Ruoxu about the Central Guards Brigade, but she was quite unfamiliar with Bass ore. She had only heard it mentioned asionally when the elders
were chatting.
She only knew that it was a very important energy source, and it was the mission of the Central Guards Brigade to locate them.
She was still not sure what these things were used for.
However, she knew very well that its strategic significance was so great that every country was fighting over it.
Why would there be such a thing on the ship? With Lin Yis personality, he wouldnt hide it.
Thats the problem. No one knows where these ores came from, Shen Shuyi said.
After the ore was discovered, the foreign forces infiltrated the local area and attacked LinYi and the others, wanting to steal the item. So now, Lin Yi is stuck in the conflict with them. I wont borate. You should be able to imagine the
scenario.
Liang Ruoxus face turned pale as she clenched her fists tightly.
She knew all too well how dangerous this matter was because she had grown up listening to these stories.
But with Lin Yis ability, it should be easy for him to escape danger and find a safe ce to contact the country.
This is also the crux of the problem, Shen Shuyi said.
I heard from your grandfather that Lin Yi contacted the Central Guards Brigade, but he lost contact very quickly. Until now, there has been no further news. Thats why I said that no one in the world knows where he went.
Shen Shuyibed her hair. But I dont think you have to worry about this.
The Meiguons sent people to Panem under the guise of peacekeeping. If Lin Yi is really dead, there would be news from there. Its still calm now, which means that Lin Yi might be hiding. Its just that external conditions dont allow him to contact Huaxia yet. Coupled with the local signal being blocked, hes in unreachable. Dont worry, things arent as bad as you think.

Chapter 1794: Depends on His Fortune
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Liang Ruoxu was silent for a while. From a certain point of view, what her mother said made sense, and there was nothing wrong with the logic. However, she shared the same thoughts as Ji Qingyan. These were the results of their analysis. No one could guarantee that there would not be any idents. If something happened to Lin Yi, she wouldnt be able to ept it.
Did you tell Aunty Qin about this?
I called her and told her, but she hasnt replied to me. Im also waiting for news.
In reality, Shen Shuyi couldnt guarantee that Lin Yi was safe.
However, the probability of his survival was very high.
Given the current situation, there wasnt much that could be done domestically. The real game-changer was Lin Yi himself, followed by Qin Yingyue and Lin Jingzhan.
When did you tell Aunty Qin?
Just now.
Huh? Its been so many days. Wiry didnt you say anything before this?
I didnt expect things to go this far.
Shen Shuyi thought that after Huaxias armed forces intervened, the problem would be resolved quickly.
Coupled with Lin Yis intelligence, she expected to hear back soon.
Unexpectedly, the Central Guards Brigade was also left helpless.
She realized that something was wrong, so she called Qin Yingyue and told her the whole story.
Dont worry about this matter. This has gone beyond the scope of what the Liang family is able to handle.
Shen Shuyi sighed. This will all depend on his luck!
In the base of the Central Guards Brigade, the higher-ups still remained on watch.
This was especially true for Liu Hong. He had not slept much these few days and had been directing the battle at the frontline.
This was because Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che had already arrived at Santa ra,
but they were stuck there and could not get in.
The situation was in a deadlock. Coupled with the international pressure, the situation at the front line became confusing. No one knew what would happen in the next second.
Did Lin Yi send another email? Liu Hong asked the messenger.
Not at the moment. Communications have been cut off, themunications officer said.
Moreover, theres also an unstable signal near Santa ra City. Our contact with Team 2 and Team 3 has also been affected. Most importantly, the enemies there are at least ten times stronger than us. Even if Team 2 and Team 3 sessfully get in, they will struggle to sessfully rescue them. Damn it, these people are determined to fight us head-on, Liu Hong cursed. He was so angry that he even threw the ashtray.
Thats because they have someone backing them up. Theyve probably already reached an agreement to unite against external forces. Even as they chase after Lin Yi, theyll also focus on fighting Team 2 and Team 3. This makes it tremendously difficult to rescue them, Cao Jiadu said.
Liu Hong pulled a long face and turned to look at Lu Beichen.
Chief, this matter
In Liu Hongs view, the only solution was to resolve the problem through armed intervention.
However, he did not have such authority to sign off on this and was not qualified to do such a thing.
Weve already been targeted. After I send people over, international forces will also deploy people with the main goal of confronting us, Lu Beichen exined.
If we send even more personnel, the enemy will do the same. Our overall force will be at a disadvantage, and any gains will be minimal. This option is essentially blocked.
The current situation is still within a controble range. If we continue to send more forces, by the time this is over, the international pressure on us will reach an unprecedented level. We need to think of other strategies. Liu Hong and the rest stopped talking. What Lu Beichen said was a very realistic question.
Now was not the time to be rash. There were still many aspects to consider.
He could only pray that Lin Yi would think of a solution, after which they would support him.
Otherwise, judging from the current situation, it would be really difficult to find a way to break out of this deadlock.
Compared to the dull atmosphere of the Central Guards Brigade, the Wang familys vi was much more rxed.
Wang Tingshan, Wang Mian, Chen Chufeng, and Li Mi had all gathered to discuss the next step of their n.
Havent you found Lin Yi in Santa ra yet? Wang Tingshan asked.
No, theres no trace of him. Its as if he disappeared from the face of the earth, Li Mi said.
Before this, we really underestimated Lin Yi. There were so many people, and we exhausted all our methods and equipment, but we still cant find any traces of him. I have to say, hes really a talent, Chen Chufeng said.
Chen Chufeng thought this way, and so did Wang Tingshan.
After this incident, they gained a whole new level of respect for Lin Yi.
Thinking of this, Wang Tingshan tilted his head and looked at his son.
If it were you, could you do that?
Wang Mians expression changed.
The question had crossed his mind, but the answer was no.
Even if he was at his peak, he couldnt survive against so many people.
Even though he was very reluctant, Wang Mian still shook his head. He could not do this.
Hows Santa ra looking? They havent found Lin Yi yet. Whats their next step?
Team Leader Chen said that the various factions in the city suspect that Lin Yi has secretly left and want to search elsewhere.
Did the Central Guards Brigade receive any news? Did they predict Lin Yis next move?
Theres no news there at all. The Central Guards Brigade is also very anxious. They havepletely lost contact with Lin Yi and havent yet pinpointed his actions. They seem to be helpless.
Even our own people cant find him.
Wang Tingshan tapped his fingers on the table and didnt say a word, thinking about Lin Yis most likely move.
This might be a bad omen, said Chen Chufeng.
Lin Yi might have sensed something and deliberately concealed himself.
Wang Tingshan looked at Chen Chufeng.
You mean he found out about the mole?
Its a possibility, but its just my guess.
Elder Chen is right. Wang Mian said.
We cant use conventional methods to analyze Lin Yi. His greatest characteristic is that he doesnt y by the rules. The more you think hell do something, the more likely it is he wont do it. Instead of saying that he escaped Santa ra, I believe that hes still inside and hasnte out.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Tingshan looked at Chen Chufeng.
Elder Chen, what do you think?
I havent had much contact with him, and its hard to get a handle on him now, but Mians right. Hes certainly unpredictable, so we cant usemon sense to predict what hell do next. Im more inclined to think hes still hiding in Santa ra.
Then lets follow this train of thought first.
Wang Tingshan looked at Li Mi and said,
Contact Chen Guanjie and spread the news that Lin Yi is still in Santa ra
City. Tell the people outside the city not to give up on tracking him.
I got it.
Oh right, the next time you hear from Lin Yi, just ask Cao Jiadu to contact me directly.
Understood. Ill inform them now.
Dad, what do you think about Lin Yis rtionship with those two women?
When are you going to expose it? Wang Mian asked after Li Mi left.
Nowis not the time. Wang Tingshan said.
After Lin Yi dies, I believe news will surface within the country. When I expose this matter then, he will be despised by everyone!

In Doora, after receiving Shen Shuyis call, Qin Yingyue immediately contacted Lin Jingzhan through a special channel.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly, as they were currently on Tilia Ind and had not returned.
What happened that youre calling me at this time?
Theres trouble in Panem. Your son is currently carrying to kilograms of ore, and everyone abroad is looking for him. Come back quickly.
Qin Yingyues voice was urgent. Facing matters concerning Lin Yi, she was just a simple mother, unable to control her emotions.
Ore?
Lin Jingzhans tone was slightly surprised. He was well aware of Lin Yis identity. As a member of the Central Guards Brigade, it was unlikely that Lin Yi was doing this in private.
Even if he was carrying it, he should have obtained it during a mission.
If that was the case, he would have manyrades by his side.
With the Central Guards Brigadesbat skills and global influence, it might be a little dangerous, but not to the point where he would be in a desperate situation.
Dont worry about such a small matter. Lin Jingzhan said indifferently.
If he cant even deal with those stinky fish and prawns, he wont be able to achieve much in the future.
Lin Jingzhan was basically letting Lin Yi do whatever he wanted.
Firstly, he didnt have time to care for Lin Yi.
Secondly, in his opinion, as his son, if he still had to step in to take care of everything, what was the difference between Lin Yi and trash?
Like Lin Yi, Lin Jingzhan was a proud person.
Even when facing his own flesh and blood, he still maintained a strict attitude.
He could not ept that his son had be a piece of trash.
Its not what you think, Qin Yingyue said.
I heard from Shuyi that this operation wasnt one of the Central Guards Brigades missions. Those ten kilograms of Bass ore were hidden on their cargo ship. He only discovered the problem when he went to deal with it. Then, lots of people from overseas rushed over. Qin Yingyue said anxiously.
Hes surrounded now. In Santa ra, there are at least a thousand foreign personnel in the city. Moreover, the Meiguon officials seem to have interfered in this matter.
Its not a mission from the Central Guards Brigade?
Lin Jingzhan felt that something was wrong.
Hes alone in Santa ra?
Theres also another member of the Central Guards Brigade with him. Weve lost contact with them now. Everyone is looking for him, but they havent found him.
Not bad. He actually managed to hide for so long.
I cant believe youre still smiling about this! Qin Yingyue raised her voice. Hurry up and bring him back. If anything happens to my son, Ill have no reason to live anymore.
Look at you. Wiry cant you rx? You cant forget about me just because you have a son.
Lin Jingzhan said helplessly,
Ill get Song Jinmin to bring some people over to take a look. This not a big problem.
Go on, hurry up.
Got it, got it.
In Santa ra City, time had slowed to a crawl. Soon, another day had passed.
For three days and three nights, the two of them did not eat or drink. They did not even dare to rest and just hid in ce.
At first, the two of them were still optimistic about this matter.
They could even joke and talk to kill time.
However, after three days and three nights without food and drink, it did not matter how strong their willpower was, it had been ground down at this moment.
Lin Yi was fine. His family had been poor since he was young, so he had suffered more than Zhou Liang.
In addition, his standard and physical fitness surpassed Zhou Liangs. Even though he had been starved for three days and three nights, his condition was still much better than Zhou Liangs.
However, thetter was not the same. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he had not eaten or drunk for the past three days had already made him listless.
Are you okay? Can you hold on? Lin Yi asked.
This not a big problem. Zhou Liang said, Ill just treat it as losing weight.
I think this might be time, Lin Yi said softly and cautiously.
Just now, he estimated that it had been more than an hour since there had been any sound outside.
He guessed that the people guarding outside had already let down their guard.
It had already been three days. Even he would have stopped suspecting anyone of still be hiding here.
Then Ill go out and take a look!
Dont move, Ill go!
In the sewer, Lin Yi quietly twisted his body and lifted the manhole cover a little, then observed the situation outside.
At around two in the morning, Santa ra City became extremely quiet. The surroundings were pitch-ck, as if it was enveloped in a ckbox.
The surrounding lights were even inferior to the starlight in the sky.
Lin Yi looked around, but he didnt see anyone.
Stay here and dont move. Ill go out and scout the area. Then, we can make a move.
Its too dangerous. Zhou Liang pulled Lin Yi back. What if their people ambush you outside?
That cant be helped. We cant stay here forever. Even if were not caught, it wont be long before the two of us starve to death. We have to think of a way to escape.
Ill go with you. Zhou Liang looked at Lin Yi and grabbed his arm tightly. His eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
Im from Team i. Im not afraid of death!
I know youre not afraid of death. If you didnt have that much, I wouldnt have recruited you back then. But now, you have an even more important mission.
Lin Yi closed the manhole cover and stepped back.
Then, he took the ore tied to his body and handed it to Zhou Liang.
Ill leave the goods with you for now. When I go out, Ill signal you. Be smart.
The reason why he passed the ore to Zhou Liang was because Lin Yi wasnt sure if there was an ambush waiting outside.
If that was the case, the ore would still be in their possession even after he died, so the mission wouldnt be considered a failure.
Noway!
Zhou Liang grabbed the corner of Lin Yis shirt, his eyes red.
If you die, I will fight with them to die together!
Whack!
Lin Yi pped Zhou Liangs face.
Now is not the time to y hero. These two ores carry Huaxias dignity and the status of the Central Guards Brigade internationally. We cant afford to get embarrassed here. Stay here and dont go out without my orders!
Zhou Liangs tears streamed down his face.
Boss
Stop crying. Youre such a sissy. Youre annoying me.
After cursing, Lin Yi ignored Zhou Liang and carefully lifted the manhole cover.
Then, he grabbed his weapon and climbed out.
Lin Yis body was pressed against the wall, trying to hide in the shadows.
After moving ten meters away, he saw a small fork in the road ahead.
Lin Yi hid by the wall. His super hearing allowed him to hear people talking in the alley on the right.
He couldnt hear what they were saying, but he could hearughter. They must have let down their guard.
Given the current situation, it appeared that the area was likely sealed off.
An opportunity had presented itself, but it still seemed improbable to escape by force.
He could only outwit them!
Carefully, Lin Yi poked his head out and found two people standing at the entrance of the alley.
They were armed with heavy weaponry, wearing steel helmets, and their faces were covered with triangr scarves. They were both monitoring the surroundings and chatting at the same time.
Judging from his attire, he should be from an foreign gang.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Now that it was a critical moment, he had to be careful with every step he took. Sess or failure depended on this!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
A few secondster, Lin Yi ced his hand behind his back and signaled at Zhou Liang.
Thetter understood and quietly crawled out of the sewer.
Lin Yis body quickly moved to the other side of the intersection.
The two of them stood on opposite sides of each other.
Lin Yi pointed at the two people outside and gestured at his throat.
Zhou Liang nodded, understanding what Lin Yi meant.
Looking around, Lin Yi found a small stone on the ground, picked it up, and threw it aside.
Although the sound was not loud, it attracted the attention of the two guards.
I heard a sound back there, one of them said.
Could you have misheard? Its already midnight. You must be hallucinating after standing guard here for a day.
I think we should go over and take a look. What if its those two Huaxians?
Thats impossible. Weve been searching here for three days, but theres no trace of them. Im guessing the two Huaxians have already escaped, but we just dont know it yet.
Still, lets go over and take a look. What if its something else? Besides, Im sleepy. I want to move around.
Lets go then. Ill follow you.
The two of them turned around and walked into the alley with weapons in their hands.
Lin Yi and Zhou Liang, who were waiting inside, were tense and ready to attack at any time.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, apanied by the sound of two people talking.
It was obvious that the two of them did not take the strange sound seriously since they were still chatting andughing.
After keeping watch here for three days, they thought that Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had escaped.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had been hiding in the sewers for three days.
As the two of them approached, Zhou Liangs heart beat faster.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, soaking his clothes.
To him, life and death would be decided in this instant!
At this moment, the two of them reached the intersection. Lin Yi and Zhou Liang rushed up from behind!
The two of them moved in unison and grabbed the opposite party by the throat. It was broken on the spot!
The two of them did it cleanly, not giving the other the chance to catch their breath. They did not make a single sound as they did this.
Only then did Lin Yi realize that their armbands were imprinted with the image of a cobra.
Without a doubt, these people were the first ones to have attacked him.
Hurry up and change your clothes!
After taking care of them, Lin Yi began to take off one of their clothes while Zhou Liang did the same.
In less than five minutes, the two of them had changed their clothes.
Now that they were a steel helmet and a dust mask, coupled with the cover of the night, if one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to tell that there was anything wrong with the two of them.
As for the two people who were killed, they were dragged into the sewers without anyone knowing.
After tidying up, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Rx. Youll expose yourself before anyone notices.
Zhou Liang took a deep breath. Got it. Ill try my best to control myself.
Even though he had done a lot of basic training in the Central Guards Brigade, hisck of actualbat experience could not be made up for.
But now, he couldnt care less. Even if he wasnt used to it, he had to bite the bullet.
There werent that many rehearsals in life.
Lin Yi walked in front calmly. He saw people wearing the same clothes as him on the other side of the road. They even waved and greeted him without anyone noticing.
Lin Yi used his peripheral vision to observe his surroundings.
He found a jeep parked more than 20 meters away.
The helmets they wore were also marked with the symbol of an eye and a snake, indicating they were part of the same group.
Come on, follow me.
Okay, okay
Zhou Liang tried to remainposed, but realized it was impossible to fully restrain himself.
Within a hundred meters radius, there were people everywhere, at least thirty or so, and that was just on one street.
One could imagine the state the entire city of Santa ra had descended into.
This was also what shocked Lin Yi.
Hey, man, I need a lighter. Lend me yours.
Just as the two of them walked to the jeep, a ck man walked over with a cigar in his hand. He wanted to borrow Lin Yis lighter.
Zhou Liangs body trembled, and he was so nervous that his face turned pale.
If he got close, he would be exposed!
Lin Yi acted calm andposed, pointing behind the ck man, and said in a perfect Meiguon ent,
They took the lighter, as well as a few top-quality Cuban cigars that I snatched. You can ask them for it.
While speaking, Lin Yi sprinkled his speech with a few Meiguon ngs, making his speech appear wless.
Ok, Ill head there now.
The ck man greeted him and turned around to walk towards the people behind him.
At this moment, Zhou Liang almost peed his pants in fear.
Boss, this is so f*cking exciting.
Dont talk. Just go. Well give ourselves away when the ck guy walks back and asks them for the lighter.
Okay.
Lin Yi and Zhou Liang subconsciously quickened their pace.
They reached the SUV before the ck man reached hispanions.
Lin Yi calmly opened the passenger door as Zhou Liang sat in the back.
The person in the car was sleeping. His posture was extremely indecent. When he saw someone get into the car, he asked in a daze,
What happened?
Theres a situation outside the city. Were short of manpower there. Lets
drive over and check things out.
Dont worry, lets go now.
The driver in the car became a little more energetic. Then, he started the car and drove off.
The people guarding nearby did not notice anything amiss. When they saw the car driving through, they made way.
However, after driving a few dozen meters, the driver suddenly perked up as he realized that something was wrong. He suddenly turned to look at Lin Yi.
We arent responsible for anything outside of the city. Why do we have to
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhou Liang hit his head from behind.
From now on, dont say anything. Just drive peacefully, or Ill send you to see God.
Lin Yi took out a scalpel from the back of his waist. The shiny de reflected a cold light on the drivers face.
I used to be a surgeon. I can destroy your vocal cords in a way that is guaranteed to ruin your life, so I want you to cooperate. Otherwise, Ill make your life a living hell. Dont doubt a surgeons abilities.
The drivers forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.
He had already recognized that these two people were the Huaxians they had been tracking!
His heart was pounding, and he was in disbelief. He felt like he had seen a ghost.
The people by his side had been searching for three days, but they still couldnt find any traces of them. He thought that they had escaped, but he didnt expect them to appear inexplicably!
No, dont kill me. Ill cooperate with you
Lin Yis lips curled into a smile. Then dont talk nonsense. Just drive the car. If we get out of Santa ra, Ill guarantee that you wont die.

Okay, okay, okay. Ill definitely cooperate with you.
Under thebined threat of Lin Yi and Zhou Liang, the driver didnt dare to make a move and could only drive carefully.
The car wasnt moving very fast. Lin Yis gaze scanned every corner of the city, observing everyones movements.
Fortunately, the two of them sat in the car and did not attract the attention of the others.
They all thought that the person sitting in the car was theirpanion.
A few minutester, the car had traveled about 200 meters. A small group of people could be seen every few dozen meters on the street.
This scene made Lin Yi feel a lingering fear.
It turned out that they had not given up on searching the city. They had only temporarily rxed their control over the area they had been in.
Instinctively, Lin Yi pulled the scarf higher up his face, trying to cover himself more tightly.
Time passed slowly like water.
Cold sweat seeped through their clothes. When they were about to leave the city, the number of people on the streets slowly decreased. Only then did the two of them heave a sigh of relief.
Once they were out of Santa ra, they would not be in too much danger.
At this moment, the two of them saw bright headlights ahead.
Lin Yi looked over and saw two Meiguon soldiers and a roadblock dozens of meters away.
However, because they were exhausted, the two of them were half-lying on the chairs, as if they were resting.
This made Lin Yi and Zhou Liang cautious again. They never thought that the other partys lockdown would be so tight.
Boss Zhou Liang whispered.
Dont panic.
Lin Yi held the scalpel tightly and said to himself, Can you get leave?
Theyll verify our identities and check us before we leave. I, I dont know
Verify our identities? Whats there to verify?
They want to check if you have ore on you. They wont let anyone away.
The driver was also very nervous. If the Meiguo soldiers in front saw these two people in his car, he would definitely be recognized as an aplice and die miserably.
Lin Yi reached under his feet and touched the base of the floor before smearing the ashes on his face.
Seeing this, Zhou Liang followed suit and disguised himself.
We can only beat them at their own game now. If we find anything wrong, well shoot them immediately, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Understood!
After reminding Zhou Liang, Lin Yi groaned and said in a low voice,
Keep driving.
I know, I know
The few dozen meters between them was not considered far. The car quickly stopped in front of the roadblock.
One of them didnt move. He gave the man on the other side a look. Thetter came over with a weapon and leaned over the window to look at the three men in the car.
Stop the car. We need to check. Where are you going?
We havent seen anyone yet, and were nning to pull out from here, Lin Yi said in everyday English, leaning back in his chair. He yawned, shifted his position, and turned his face away, urging, Hurry up and clear the way, I need to sleep.
The Meiguon soldier in charge of the checkpoint didnt seem to suspect Lin Yis identity because his ent was so authentic, clearly Meiguon, with nothing apparently worth scrutinizing.
Lets go.
Zhou Liang breathed a sigh of relief. How did the boss develop such mental fortitude?
How could he act so convincingly?
The roadblock was lifted, and their vehicle left Santa ra city without any interference, ensuring their safe departure.
F*ck, were finally out!
Zhou Liang was half-slumped in the back seat, panting non-stop. He was like a drowning person who was now gulping at air.
After leaving the city, the car began to speed up. Not long after, they had traveled a few dozen kilometers.
The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly and said shakily,
I-Ive already brought you out. Can you let me go now?
If you didnt bring this up, I would have already forgotten it. Lin Yi said.
Lets stop the car first.
The driver was overjoyed. He mmed on the brakes and parked the car at the side.
Thank you for bringing us out. To show you my appreciation, Im going to give you a ride.
Do you want to drive the car away? You can just do it. Ill walk back myself. I dont need you to send me.
The driver opened the door and prepared to get out.
No, no, no. You cant find your way back by yourself, so I have to give you a ride.
Huh? Boss, where are you sending him?
Sending him to God.
Lin Yi held the scalpel and stabbed it into the mans heart. At the same time, he covered the other partys mouth!
In less than a minute, the driver died without making a sound.
After dealing with the enemy, Zhou Liang took off his equipment, threw it to the side of the road, and drove away.
Boss, its almost dawn. Where are we going now?
Im not familiar with this ce, lets drive along the road. Lin Yi said.
Its safe now. Dont worry too much. Lets think of a way to fill our stomachs first. If I dont eat now, Ill starve to death.
Theres a mole in the Central Guards Brigade. Can we still contact the base?
Of course. Lin Yi said.
However, we cant give them the real address this time. If we give them a fake address, well be safer.
Zhou Liang instantly understood what Lin Yi meant.
A mole had appeared in the Central Guards Brigade. If they reported the exact location, their pursuers would also arrive immediately.
However, if they reported a fake location, the problem would be resolved. They would bepletely safe, and they would not have to worry too much about anything in the near future.
Lin Yi drove down the highway, and a bright light appeared in the distant sky.
The sun that was about to break the horizon signified the hope of a new life.
Brother Lin, I feel that our experiences will be like a movie when we go back. Its too f*cking exciting. Zhou Liang grinned.
Even a movie wouldnt do that.
Thats true. Who would have thought that the two of us could stay in the sewers for three days and three nights? Im f*cking impressed with myself.
Zhou Liang sighed, and so did Lin Yi.
It felt like everything that had happened in the past few days was a dream.
It was so unexpected.
The person who was ying this game of chess behind the scene was still a mystery.
The corners of Lin Yis mouth moved slightly as he muttered to himself in an inaudible voice.
Wang Tingshan, could you be the mastermind
The car sped along the highway. The rays of the morning sun shone on the ground from afar.
It was as if a ball of hope had arisen, and this great escape was finally about to end.
At this moment, Lin Yis pupils dted, and all the hair on his body stood on end. His face was pale!
Dozens of meters away, Lin Yi saw two cars, one red and one ck.
His heart beat faster like a p of thunder.
His eyes were focused on the red car!
A Civic Type-R!
The car belonging to the man in ck!

Boss, why did you stop the car?
Zhou Liang looked puzzled. Then, he looked up and saw two cars parked in front of him. His expression immediately became nervous.
What the f*ck is going on? Weve already escaped, and there are still pursuers?
How did those bastards catch up to us?
Lin Yi didnt answer Zhou Liang, but his breathing quickened. He unbuckled his seatbelt and carefully got into the passenger seat.
Come around from the back.
All?
Zhou Liang looked puzzled. Do you want me to drive?
Stop talking, juste over here!
Seeing Lin Yis serious expression, Zhou Liang didnt say anything further and quickly moved to the drivers seat.
Is the ore still on you?
Zhou Liang patted his tactical backpack, Its all in here.
Wait for me to get out of the car, then you turn around and drive as fast as you can. Follow the n I just told you, report a false address to headquarters, and then find a way to make contact with Liu Hong on your own.
Zhou Liangs eyes widened as his gazended on Lin Yi.
Boss, what do you mean? Why do you want me to leave first?
Thats an order. Just do as I say.
But
Cut the crap. Leave when I tell you to!
Lin Yi didnt say anything else and got out of the car.
Go.
Zhou Liang was stunned. He did not understand what was going on.
In the face of a hail of bullets, Brother Lin never told him to leave. But now, he was being so decisive.
Could it be because of the two cars in front?
At this moment, Zhou Liang saw a man in ck getting out of the red Civic Type-R.
The strange thing was that he was wearing a clown mask.
At this moment, he realized that Lin Yi was standing on the spot without moving. There was a distance of more than twenty meters seperating the two of them as they looked at each other.
A terrifying pressure arose spontaneously.
He didnt know if it was his imagination or if this was really the case.
It was as if the man in ck and the clown mask was silently fighting against
Boss.
The ominous premonition intensified. The countless gunshots that he had encountered previously were like childs y at this moment.
It was far inferior to the threat this person posed.
GO!
Lin Yi used all his strength to roar.
Zhou Liang shivered. His body was no longer controlled by his brain. He started the car mechanically, then turned around and drove in the opposite direction.
At that moment, the ck car beside the Type-R also started up and chased after Zhou Liangs car.
Lin Yi stood in the middle of the road, blocking the ck cars path.
A middle-aged man and a young woman were sitting in the car. Their gazes were focused on Lin Yi. Their faces were expressionless, like machines.
The young woman didnt do anything else. She stepped on the elerator and the ck car instantly increased its speed. However, because it was too nearby, it only reached about 30 miles per hour before it arrived in front of Lin Yi.
BANG!
The sound of a gunshot rang out. Zhou Liang, who was in the car, covered for
Lin Yi as he shot at the duos path.
The woman had no choice but to change direction and drive to the other side!
At the same time, Zhou Liang also drove on.
What the f*ckareyou doing back here! Lin Yi cursed.
Zhou Liang panted heavily, then opened the door and got out of the car. Id rather not continue living than run away on my own. Zhou Liang stood beside Lin Yi, staring at the man in the clown mask.
Even if I die, I will die with you!
Idiot.
Lin Yi cursed, but a smile appeared on his face, as if he had epted his fate.
At the same time, the two people in the car also got out.
Zhou Liang aimed his gun at the three people opposite him.
At this moment, the young woman who got out of the car took out two ck pistols from her waist and aimed them at Lin Yi and Zhou Liang.
The situation on both sides was abnormally tense. No one knew what would happen in the next second.
Put the gun down, Lin Yi whispered.
Slowly, Zhou Liang tilted the gun barrel downward. The young woman did the same. She did not want to solve the problem with firepower.
Lin Yi did this because he was in an extremely passive position.
If they fought barehanded, he would be at a disadvantage, in terms of marksmanship, a rookie like Zhou Liang was unlikely to be her match.
Moreover, she had two guns. If she pulled the trigger, the two of them would immediately be sent to hell.
Because of this, Lin Yi asked Zhou Liang to put away his gun.
Lin Yis gaze sized them up.
The middle-aged man in the car gave him a sense of danger.
Thest time they were in Doora, the man in ck had brought hispanions over. Furthermore, their level was extremely high and had already reached B- ss.
If not for Song Jinmin, he would definitely have died.
The situation this time was simr to back then. The middle-aged man in front of him was probably at least C-ss.
Hand over the ores youre carrying. We only want the goods, not to kill, the middle-aged man said.
I cant give you the ore unless you kill the two of us.
You and Zero have already fought many times. I believe you know our level. Nothing is more important than your own life. Its not worth dying for the Central Guards Brigade.
You people are different. This is our belief. Lin Yi said.
But I also hope that you wont act rashly. Your men have already died at my handsst time out. You should know about this.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yi and narrowed his eyes.
I know what happened in Doora, but our mission is to take the ore away and not bow to any threats. Its useless for you to say anything now. The middle- aged man said,
But if youre willing toe back with us, I promise you wont die and youll get the same treatment as Zero.
Lin Yis lips curled up. Do you think thats possible?
In that case, theres no need to continue.
The middle-aged man looked at the man in ck.
Zero, do it.
The man in ck moved like a cobra hunting in the night, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow to his prey.
Lin Yi was the same. He kept adjusting his position to avoid revealing any ws. Without any warning, the man in ck exerted strength under his feet and rushed towards Lin Yi.
From a distance of two or three meters, the man leaped into the air, delivering a solid knee aimed directly at Lin Yis face, bearing down on him like a mountain. Lin Yi crossed his arms in front of him, adopting a defensive posture.
Bang!
The bodies of the two men collided at that moment.
The tremendous force made Lin Yis arms go numb, and he involuntarily stepped back several paces before he could stabilize himself.
Zhou Liang, standing nearby, looked on in horror.
The boss was actually at a disadvantage!
Chapter 1799: Mission Failure
Chapter 1799: Mission Failure
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
This scene was unbelievable to Zhou Liang.
In his eyes, his boss was the best among his peers. He didnt have to be serious when fighting anyone.
But today, when facing this person, Boss was actually forced back!
Although he was not defeated, this was not a good sign.
The reason why the attack had such a strong effect was because Lin Yi hadnt eaten for three days and three nights. His mental state was at its limit, and it was already impressive that he wasnt defeated in one move.
After the man in cks attack ended, Lin Yi counterattacked.
Taking advantage of the man in cks downward trajectory, Lin Yi jumped and kicked him with his right leg like a long whip.
Seeing that the situation was bad, the man in ck did not dare to be careless.
He leaned back and quickly raised his hand to block Lin Yis attack!
He remained unmoved, it seemed as if the attack hadnt posed any real danger to him!
After the failed strike, Lin Yi seized the opportunity to counterattack,unching a flurry of rapid moves that left the man in ck with no chance to react.
The young woman watching from the side furrowed her brows in surprise.
Lin Yis exceptional skills astonished her.
With just his flesh and blood, hes fighting on par with Zero, the Central Guards Brigade has found a formidable guy.
His skill level is indeed good, and his foundation is solid, but the final victory should belong to Zero. He wont be able to hold on much longer, said the middle-aged man.
I believe that. Among his peers, no one can match Zero, the young woman stated.
If the surgery had been more perfect, I think his condition would be even better.
Dont underestimate that Huaxian man. Before they engaged, I observed him; his mental state didnt seem very good. Otherwise, it would be hard to predict the final victor.
The young woman looked at Lin Yi with interest.
She did not expect him to receive such a high evaluation.
If thats the case, it would be a pity to kill him.
That all depends on Zero. If he doesnt want to kill this man, theres nothing we can do.
Even though the man in ck had brought hispanions over this time, the middle-aged mans status and identity couldnt bepared to the person Lin Yi had metst time.
The previous operation was led by thepanion of the man in ck, and this time, it was led by the man in ck himself.
ording to the strict rules of the organization, if the man in ck did not want to fight, there was nothing they could do.
Although the middle-aged mans level was higher than the man in ck, their status in the organization was different. When they went out on missions, he had to remain obedient.
So well just take him away.
Thats unlikely, the middle-aged man said.
Dont underestimate the determination of the Chinese to face death. In the face of national righteousness, they regard life lightly. Even if captured, they have countless ways tomit suicide, leaving no opportunities for their captors.
Its a bit regrettable, but its not a big problem, as this mission is about to bepleted.
As the two spoke, the battle on the other end escted into an intense phase.
Lin Yis offensive grew fiercer, but his condition was poor, and his efforts amounted to thest of his strength, posing no substantial threat to the man in ck.
After a dozen moves, Lin Yi gradually began to falter.
His attacks became weaker, shifting from an aggressive stance to passive defense.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Zhou Liang rushed up and prepared to help Lin Yi.
But the man in ck did not give him the chance.
With just a casual kick, he was kicked a few meters away.
He flew backward and crashed into the car behind him. With a dull thud, Zhou Liang felt like his spine was about to break.
It was so painful that he rolled on the ground and instantly lost the ability to fight.
His heart was in turmoil. He did not expect the man in ck to be so skilled!
He couldnt even withstand a single move from him!
And Boss could actually fight with him for so long. His level was too terrifying!
Seeing Zhou Liang injured, Lin Yi suddenly turned around.
At that moment, the man in ck noticed the opening and kicked him in the face!
Lin Yi lost his bnce and fell heavily to the ground.
With a curse, Lin Yi quickly adjusted himself and got up.
However, at this moment, the ck mans attack came one after another. Without giving Lin Yi any chance to react, he kicked his chest!
Lin Yi lost control of his body and rolled backward.
The man in ck followed closely behind. He rushed in front of Lin Yi and pressed his knee into him.
Lin Yi struggled to break free, but the skill levels between him and the man in ck were closely matched, and his impaired mental state made escape impossible.
The man in ck didnt immediately attack. Instead, he fixed Lin Yi with a gaze that was both hollow and profound.
Their eyes met in a moment that turned the atmosphere eerie.
The man in ck patted Lin Yi down, trying to find the ore hidden on his body, but found nothing.
He looked back and shook his head at the other two.
The young woman quickly reacted and started moving towards Zhou Liang.
Damn it, lets go!
Lin Yi couldnt afford to hesitate. He had to protect the ore.
Zhou Liang knew the situation was dire, but he didnt run.
The idea of abandoning Lin Yi to save himself was something he couldnt bring himself to do.
Zhou Liang tapped into his bodys ultimate potential, picked up a gun nearby, and aimed at the young woman.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, but the person who pulled the trigger wasnt Zhou Liang!
A wisp of smoke drifted from the dark muzzle, followed by Zhou Liangs agonizing scream!
Alih!
Zhou Liangs thigh was a blur; the bullet had passed through it, leaving a ghastly wound.
His leg was likely beyond recovery.
Zhou Liang!
Lin Yis eyes were red as he roared.
However, because of the man in cks control, he could not move at all.
The immense pain made Zhou Liangs eyes widen and he almost fainted.
The young woman walked towards Zhou Liang step by step. There was no expression on her face. She was like a cold machine.
I dont want to kill anyone, so dont move or I wont mind putting another bullet in your brain.
The young woman took off Zhou Liangs tactical backpack and opened it to take a look at the contents. She then nodded at the middle-aged man behind her.
Zero, get rid of him, the middle-aged man said.
The young woman also looked at him as if she had the same thought.
The man in ck shook his head and did not take the next step.
The middle-aged man shook his head and didnt try to persuade him. Get in the car.
The man in ck let go of Lin Yi and walked towards his car.
However, the moment he opened the car door, he turned around and looked at Lin Yi deeply.
The entire processsted only a few seconds. The slightly terrifying and strange mask seemed to be telling him something.
It was extremely hard to figure out.

But at this moment, Lin Yi could no longer care about anything else. He rushed towards Zhou Liang with all his might to check his wound.
Bear with it a little longer. Itll be fine. With me around, itll definitely be
fine
Lin Yis body trembled violently. The bloody wound was like a sharp knife as it cut through his sensitive nerves. Even his words became incoherent.
B-Boss
Zhou Liang spoke intermittently. His mental state was not good to begin with.
With an injury this bad, his consciousness began to wane.
I, Ive let you down. I, I didnt guard the ore
I dont me you. I dont me you for this. Its all my fault.
Lin Yis eyes were red as he picked Zhou Liang up with both hands. With me around, Ill definitely be able to save your leg. You have to believe me.
B-Boss, you go first. Dont worry about me
If you want to die, well die here together. I cant leave you behind!
Lin Yi carried Zhou Liang into the car.
After continuing for more than forty kilometers, Lin Yi found a small city.
The small city wasnt big, and Lin Yi couldnt name it. It wasnt even a third the size of Santa ra, but to Lin Yi, finding such a ce was a blessing from the heavens.
Because what he wanted was not to escape, but to find a hospital!
After driving into the city, Lin Yi saw a private hospital. It was small, but it was enough.
He quickly stopped the car and carried the unconscious Zhou Liang out of the car. He rushed into the hospital immediately.
The small town had a very limited area, so there was no sight of the hustle and bustle of a big city. Even though it was already past seven in the morning, many of the shops on both sides of the street were still closed and not in business.
The hospital was no exception.
Lin Yi didnt care about any of that and kicked open the door of the hospital. Hearing the noise at the door, the middle-aged couple who were having breakfast upstairs rushed down. They were shocked to see Lin Yi rushing in with someone in his arms.
Whats wrong with his leg? Tell me how it happened?
The doctor was very responsible and did not hold Lin Yi ountable. Instead,
he immediately inquired about Zhou Liangs condition.
This has nothing to do with you. I need all the medical equipment you have here. Go and get it for me!
The middle-aged doctor was somewhat stunned. For a doctor, such an operation was uneptable.
However, the fierce Lin Yi didnt give him any chance to react, showing an expression that looked ready to devour someone.
Hurry up or Ill kill you!
The middle-aged doctor was so frightened that he became flustered. He beckoned the two of them into the operating theater.
Although the ce was small, it had all the essentials.
As one of the few private hospitals in the small city, even though the medical equipment was not advanced, it carried the most basic surgical equipment and tools.
There were a few simple pieces of equipment in the operating theater. Lin Yi ced Zhou Liang on the bed, patted his shoulder, and said to him,
Im here. Dont worry. Im the best surgeon in the world. Ill definitely save your leg. Dont be afraid.
Zhou Liang grinned. Im not even afraid of death. Even if I lose a leg, I can still withstand it.
Dont say anything else. Lie here C youll be fine after a nap.
Lin Yi found the blood pressure belt and heart rate clip and fixed them on Zhou Liangs body.
Then, he took out the anesthetic and began to inject it intravenously.
A few minutester, Zhou Liang lost consciousness. His vital signs were stable, and Lin Yi began to treat the gunshot wound on his leg.
A leg injury wouldnt be life-threatening, but Lin Yis priority was to save his leg-
Lin Yi was busy in the operating room while the middle-aged doctor and his wife stood outside.
Where did those twoe from? The mans leg looks like a gunshot wound.
Im not too sure either. Maybe hes a hooligan from around here. The middle-aged doctor said.
I dont want to take too much responsibility. Besides, they dont look like good people. Since he can operate on my own, Ill leave it to them. Let them handle it on their own.
The couple was quite simple and honest. They didnt say much, but they were a little afraid.
They had never experienced such a thing before.
About two hourster, the surgery was over.
Lin Yi wrapped a thick gauze around Zhou Liangs thigh.
He did his best, but he didnt know if thetter could keep his leg.
Tgus all depended on Zhou Liangs luck.
Help me carry him to the ward.
Okay, okay, okay.
There were only two wards in the hospital.
One of them was a four-person room, and the other was an eight-person room.
It could be said to be very simple.
After returning to the ward, Lin Yi injected Zhou Liang with amino acids and glucose to replenish his strength.
Then, Lin Yi asked the middle-aged doctor to buy some things. After holding on for so long and doing more than two hours of surgery, Lin Yis mental state was about to reach its limit.
If not for the fact that he was had been preservering, he would not have been able to survive this surgery.
The doctor and his wife were very obedient. They didnt dare to go against Lin Yis wishes and went out to buy many things for them to eat.
Not long after, Zhou Liang slowly opened his eyes. Although he did not look too good, he was stable.
Lets eat something first. Well stay here for a day and leave tomorrow. Lin Yis initial n was to find a bigger city and hide quietly so that no one would notice.
Despite themotion, there wasnt much of an issue hiding here, but Lin Yi still wanted to minimize the risk. They couldnt stay here for long.
Moreover, the variety of medicines here was iplete. Zhou Liangs wound needed further treatment, and they had to find a big city to get more effective medicine. This was crucial for his recovery.
Boss? Have you eaten yet?
While eating the food Lin Yi was feeding him, Zhou Liang asked.
Dont worry. Im afraid of dying, and Im not as reckless as you. Even if I starve you, I need to eat first.
This is such a romantic scene, Boss, you should be gentler.
Ive never fed a man in my life. Youre the first one, so be grateful.
Ive also given you my first time. Usually, its those bikini-d inte celebrities who feed me. Youre the first person of the same sex doing this. Just eat and stop talking. Even eating cant shut your mouth. Zhou Liang chuckled, having obviouslye to terms with his leg injury. When they joined the Central Guard Brigade, they had received education and training in this regard.
Their mental resilience and eptance were far beyond that of others.
At least his life was saved. As for the leg, whether he kept it or not didnt matter anymore.
Boss, are we going to stay here forever?
I just checked. Theres a city called Cologne more than 200 kilometers away.
Lets stay here for a day before we head over.
Zhou Liang nodded and sighed.
But after such a long time, we still couldnt keep the ore.
I expected it when I saw him. I can ept this oue.
Boss, do you know that man in ck called Zero? Zhou Liang probed.

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
I met him a few times when I was on a mission. I dont know where he came from, but hes very good. We fought a few times and he always won. Lm Yi said.
Thats why I can ept that he took the ore. At the very least, I didnt lose to
those despicable people.
Indeed, their level doesnt seem to be on the same level as the people of Santa
ra City, Zhou Liang said.
When he kicked me, it felt like his bones were going to break.
Thats why I said theres nothing wrong with losing to him. Hes a worthy opponent.
Sigh, its just a pity.
Alright, lets not talk about useless things for now, Lin Yi said.
Rest for a while. Ill find a way to contact headquarters.
Okay.
Then, Lin Yi got an oldptop from the doctor.
Although it was dated, Lin Yi could barely get online. This was enough for him.
It was midnight in Yanjing, Huaxia.
Thebatmand room of the Central Guards Brigade was still crowded, but everyone was expressionless and silent.
This state had alreadysted for nearly a hundred hours.
Chief, go back and rest. Well stay here and keep an eye on things. Well let you know if there s any news.1
In the office, Liu Hong looked at Lu Beichen and said.
In the few days that Lin Yi had been missing, Lu Beichen had stayed at the base
of the Central Guards Brigade.
If he really couldnt take it anymore, he would go and rest for a while. However, he woulde back after waking up.
Regardless of whether Lin Yi lived or died, he had to wait for news.
Although Im old, I can still hold on for a while. Dont worry about me.
I know youre worried about Lin Yis safety, but your health is more important. You havent slept for a whole day and night, Cao Jiadu said.
Its okay. I know what Im doing, Lu Beichen replied indifferently.
Liu Hong couldnt bear it and wanted to persuade him, but he didnt know what
to say.
Lin Yi had been missing for nearly a hundred hours. Although they didnt want
to admit it, many of them were pessimistic.
They thought that Lin Yi had no chance of survival.
Even Liu Hong felt the same.
However, every time he had such thoughts, he would p himself in an attempt to wake himself up.
He had warned himself countless times that Lin Yi wouldnt die, and that he would be fine. He would definitelye back safely.
Chief, Boss Liu, theres news!
A young man in uniform hurriedly ran to the office door and said to the two of them,
Team Leader Lin replied to thetest news. He said he is in Santos! Hes not dead yet!
Hearing this news, the three of them stood up excitedly.
The excitement on his face was like fireworks in the night sky. Even the blood
in their body seemed to flow faster.
too hours!
They had lost contact for nearly a hundred hours!
Silently, he had run from Santa ra to Santos!
No one knew how Lin Yi did it, but this was no longer important!
Just the fact that he was still alive was a great relief to the Central Guards
Brigade!
This kid is really powerful. He actually escaped to Santos under the heavy
blockade!
Liu Hong pped his thigh in excitement, tears flowing down his face.
Lets go and take a look!
The three of them arrived at thebatmand room. Everyones expressions turned into ecstasy!
To them, the joy was indescribable.
This was unheard of in the long history of war!
What else did he say?! Liu Hong said to themunications officer.
Team Leader Lin said that they are in a rtively safe position and will not have any problems for the time being. We need to send reinforcements. Alright, Ill send people from Team 2 and Team 3 over now. Tell him not to be anxious. Reinforcements will get here soon!
Good!
After Liu Hong issued thetest order.
Wang Tingshan also received the news, but his expression was not very good.
The others in the room had simr expressions.
How the hell did he do that? Hes been missing for nearly a hundred hours, and now hes in Santos?
This was not only Wang Tingshans question, but also the question of the others present.
Could he have escaped in advance? Did the people deployed in Santa ra do nothing? Wang Mian said.
Thats unlikely, said Chen Chufeng.
Santos is a big city in Panem. If he escaped, he would definitely have contacted the Central Guards Brigade immediately. He wouldnt have dyed it for so many days.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Chufeng said,
My guess is that hes been hiding in Santa ra for the past few days. As for how he escaped, that remains to be seen.
Everyone else in the room agreed with Chen Chufeng.
This was also what made them uneasy.
In Santa ra City, there were at least 1,000 people who had conducted a carpet search. It could be said that they had searched every corner and every house in the city.
Not only did they not find any trace of him, but they also allowed him to swagger over to Santos.
This news reminded them of how terrifying Lin Yi was.
Li Mi, inform Chen Guanjie to spread the news. Theres no point in continuing the search in Santa ra.
Understood. Ill inform them now.
After returning to Yanjing, Liang Ruoxu didnt leave.
There was no news of Lin Yi, and she wasnt in the mood to work.
Moreover, it wasnt easy for her to return home. Liang Xianghe couldnt bear for her to leave so quickly, so he made her stay home for a few days.
Dont look so miserable all day long. You cant solve the problem in your current state, Liang Xianghe said in the courtyard.
Weve been out of contact for nearly a hundred hours. Im trying to figure out where he could go.
I dont know much about the kid, but Im told he doesnt y by the rules. You cant think about him in a normal way.
Grandpa, dont be sarcastic. Help me think about where he would go.
If I really could think of this, I would have told you long ago. Why would I have waited until now?
Liang Ruoxu curled her lips and closed her eyes to rest.
Right now, she didnt want to say or do anything. She just hoped that no one would disturb her.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Liang Xianghes phone rang. It was a call from Liu Hong.
Youve heard from him?
Liang Xianghes expression became excited. This news was too shocking and too sudden for him.
Liang Ruoxu sat up from her chair.
She instinctively guessed that the person they were discussing was Lin Yi.
This kid is really powerful. Ive underestimated him.
Alright, let me know if theres any other news.
Soon, Liang Xianghe hung up the phone and looked at Liang Ruoxu with a smile.
Theres no need to worry. He sent a message saying hes in Santos. It looks very safe for the time being. The Central Guards Brigade has already sent people over to provide support.
Liang Ruoxu clutched her chest. She felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and tears fell from her eyes.
She didnt know why she was crying, but she couldnt help it.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu saw her phone light up. It was an email.
When she saw the email, she couldnt help but frown.
This was her private email address. Not many people knew about it.
Liang Ruoxu opened the email and saw that the senders name was LRXI Love You. However, the contents of the message left her stunned.
Theres a mole in the Central Guards Brigade. Inform Lu Beichen that Ill be heading to Cologne in 20 hours.

Liang Ruoxu did not move. It was as if her body had been petrified.
She didnte back to his senses for a long time.
Rather than saying the contents of the email shocked her, it was more urate to say they left her in awe.
Especially the ID LRXI love you, which stirred her emotions like a tidal wave. She was certain that the person using this ID was Lin Yi!
However, the content inside made her feel incredulous!
The most terrifying and shocking thing was that there was actually a mole in the Central Guards Brigade!
How could such a thing happen to such a closed organization?
She felt that this matter had already exceeded the scope of her ability. Anything that involved the Central Guards Brigade was not a small matter. Grandpa
Whats wrong? Liang Xianghe smiled, Lin Yi is still alive, why dont you look happy?
Liang Ruoxu handed the phone to Liang Xianghe.
Lin Yi sent me a message. He said that theres a mole in the Central Guards Brigade!
Howis that possible?!
Liang Xianghe was agitated. Although he did not know how to exert force in his dantian, he had done some clerical work because of Lu Beichen.
Now, Lin Yi said that there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade.
Emotionally, he could not ept it.
Let me see your phone.
There you go.
Seeing the content on the phone, Liang Xianghe became extremely serious. He frowned and thought for a long time.
Are you sure its from Lin Yi?
Im sure!
Liang Ruoxu knew the severity of this matter, so she did not dare to be careless. But she could confirm that the email was sent by Lin Yi!
Last Christmas, he posted these words across the countrys most iconic buildings!
Other than him, no one else could use such an ID!
I understand.
Taking a deep breath, Liang Xianghe said,
Lin Yi was never even in Santos. It was a diversion.
Grandfather, are you saying that he did this to attract the attention of the mole?
Thats right. Liang Xianghe said meaningfully.
If theres really a mole in the Central Guards Brigade, then not long after, the people who had been searching Santa ra will concentrate on Santos. When that happens, his location will bepletely safe.
So his real destination is Cologne, not Santos!
Yes!
Then lets hurry up and tell this news to Elder Lu! Liang Ruoxu stood up excitedly, ill get the car. Lets go to the Central Guards Brigade! Dont!
Liang Xianghe stopped Liang Ruoxu. This is no small matter. For the sake of absolute security, we cant go there. Ill call him over.
Then, Liang Xianghe called Lu Beichen. After receiving the call, Lu Beichen rushed over immediately.
What happened? Why did you call me over in such a hurry?
When they first met, Lu Beichen hurriedly asked his question.
The call from Liang Xianghe had puzzled him.
Ever since their younger days, Liang Xianghe had always followed him. Whenever something came up, it was always Liang Xianghe who came to him. But this time, he was asked toe over.
More importantly, on the phone, Liang Xianghes tone was extremely serious.
He only mentioned having something important to discuss, which gave Lu Beichen a bad feeling.
Look at this. Liang Xianghe handed the phone over. Lin Yi secretly sent this to Little Mi.
He sent this?!
Although he did not see the contents, Lin Yis actions were really strange.
Logically speaking, at such a dangerous moment, any news should have been sent to the Central Guards Brigade.
However, when he saw the contents of the email, Lu Beichens expression changed slightly.
A mole had appeared in the Central Guards Brigade, making it difficult for him to calm down.
After Lin Yi went to Santa ra, not long after, the foreigners also rushed there and surrounded him. I believe Lin Yi determined that there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade from this. Liang Xianghe said.
Thats why he thought of this. He deliberately told the Central Guards Brigade that he was in Santos and asked the mole to inform the foreigners. That way, he would be safe.
With Lin Yis thinking, this is exactly what he would do, Lu Beichen said in a low voice.
But what he was really concerned about was who the spy in the Central Guards Brigade was.
We can be sure that Lin Yi will head to Cologne in twenty hours. This news should be urate. Liang Xianghe said.
We can send some people there. As for the Central Guards Brigade, we can continue to observe the movement in Santa ra. If the foreigners really move towards Santos, it means that Lin Yis guess was true and that theres really a mole in the Central Guards Brigade. We have to be wary of this.
I understand. Ill take care of the rest.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Beichen returned the phone to Liang Ruoxu.
Ask Lin Yi where he is now.
Okay.
Taking the phone, Liang Ruoxu sent a message to Lin Yi, trying to gain a better understanding of his situation.
Hes in Chepopur, Panem. Hes got a team member with a gunshot wound.
Hes getting fixed up there. Hes going to Cologne after that.
Lu Beichen nodded. Then, without saying a word, he thought about his next move.
Liang Ruoxu quietly observed the old leader beside him. Despite a lifetime spent in the military, his imposing andmanding presence made it hard to believe he was an elderly man in his twilight years.
Quietly, Liang Ruoxu turned around and sent a message to Shen Shuyi.
He told her everything about Lin Yi.
Her real purpose was not to let Shen Shuyi handle this matter.
She wanted her to tell Qin Yingyue about this!
At this moment, only Lin Yis father could help him out!
Chepopur, Panama.
It had been more than five hours since Zhou Liangs surgery.
After a period of rest and observation.
Zhou Liangs condition was much better, and his mental state was not bad either. He was not affected by his leg injury.
But what Lin Yi was most worried about was whether he could keep his leg.
He looked at his watch and found that it was already past three in the afternoon. When his wound recovered, they would set off for Cologne.
The life-and-death chase was finally over.
During this time, Lin Yi and Lu Beichen stayed in constant contact.
To avoid drawing attention, Lu Beichen sent Ning Che over, while Qiu Yuluo and the members of Team Two remained in Santa ra, keeping an eye on the situation there.
Just as Lin Yi had expected, after the Central Guards Brigade received Lin Yis news, the people stationed in Santa ra began to evacuate batch by batch. Under the close observation of Qiu Yuluo and Team 2, they realized that they were indeed moving in the direction of Santos!
It was precisely this action that made Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe firmly believe that there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade!

Chapter 1803: Role-Reversal n
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Although a day had passed, the middle-aged couple in the hospital were still in a state of fear.
Under Lin Yis threat, the private hospital had already closed to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
Other than Lin Yis fierceness, what scared them even more was the things stored in the car.
When I went out just now, I saw a lot of blood in their car. There was even a gun! The doctors wife said.
I guess theyre not good people!
I actually saw it a long time ago
The doctor said fearfully, But I didnt dare to tell you.
They must not be good people. Otherwise, they wouldnt have those things. Do you think they will kill us when they leave?
I-I dont know
Wiry dont we call the police? The doctors wife said.
Lets go to the police station now. With the police protecting us, well be safe.
The middle-aged doctor gritted his teeth. Lets go and call the police now!
Night gradually fell, and the scorching sun sank into the distant mountains.
The brilliant sunset cast a golden glow over the city, enveloping it in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Boss, I dont think the leg injury is a big problem. Lets go. Zhou Liang said.
Wait a minute.
It had only been more than ten hours since he finished the surgery. Lin Yi didnt dare to let Zhou Liang travel too much. After all, there was still some distance to Cologne, and he wanted to thetters condition to stabilize first.
This ce is not as safe as Cologne. Our people should be reaching Cologne soon. Once we meet, we will be safe. Zhou Liang said.
Moreover, even if I can keep my leg, it will be crippled. You dont have to worry so much. Im satisfied I was able to risk my life with you this time.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment. What Zhou Liang said made sense.
Although he could not travel long distances due to his injuries, he still needed high-end medicine in Cologne.
Wait for me here for a while. Ill go buy some things and well leave after dark!
I observed the ce during the day. The people here seem to be quite simple.
It wont be easy to get any guns.
Zhou Liang said with a smile. He had already guessed what Lin Yi wanted to do.
Lin Yi also smiled. If it doesnt workout, lets go to the police station. Its a long way to Cologne, so we have to prepare.
Ill pack up too. Well leave when youe back.
Just lie on the bed obediently and dont move around.
Alright, Ill tell Boss Liu that were leaving and toe over to pick us up in advance.
Okay.
Lin Yi responded and jumped out of the window instead of the front door.
His main purpose for going out this time was to gather some guns. He didnt have much ammunition left right now. If an ident happened on the way, it wouldnt be enough to deal with an emergency. He had to prepare some more.
However, Chepopur was a quiet and peaceful small city. Although the people here were not rich, their lives were veryfortable.
Although there were security issues, most of them remained at the level of small brawls and fights. Unlike in other cities, it wasntmon to see people engaging in shootouts on the streets.
Getting a gun in such a ce seemed unlikely, and the only possible source would be the police.
After leaving, Lin Yi wandered the streets, using his remaining money to buy a sun hat, and then strolled around the small town.
As he walked, he couldnt help but wonder why he hadnt seen any police officers patrolling the area.
Hey, brother!
Just as Lin Yi passed a small alley, he unexpectedly heard someone speaking behind him. Two young men in vests and slippers stood behind him.
Seeing the two hooligans, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and asked,
Were you calling me?
Yes, its been a long time since weve seen a Terran person around here. Are you from Rania or Sunrise Land? Or are you from Huaxia?
Im from Huaxia. Why?
Upon learning Lin Yis identity, the two men exchanged a nce, a hint of excitement in their eyes.
Nothing much, weve heard that Huaxian people are quite wealthy and wanted to see if its true.
Were not that rich, but were probably better off than you.
Lin Yi replied calmly, not wanting to engage in a lengthy conversation. He wanted to get this over with and leave under the cover of darkness.
In that case, I want to borrow some money from you.
The man in the ck vest said,
Give us all your money. That way, well be friends. If you encounter any problems here in the future, we can help you.
Lin Yi scratched his head, feeling that this small city was really harmonious.
He actually made robbery sound so refreshing and refined.
He was also quite polite.
Pardon me for asking, but are you guys trying to rob me?
No, no, no. We wouldnt do that.
The two of them walked towards Lin Yi and patted his shoulder.
We just want to borrow some money from you. Well pay you backter.
But I dont want to lend you any money.
Thats not possible. You have to lend it to us because well protect you in the future. The man in the ck vest pointed into the depths of the alley and said.
If you dont want to borrow it, well take you in there for a chat.
Theres no need to go through so much trouble. Just say it here.
The two of them looked at each other and realized that Lin Yi was unwilling topromise. Their expressions could not help but turn cold.
The man in the vest took out a fruit knife from his pocket and pointed it at Lin Yi.
If you dont want to lend it to us, we might not let you go.
Piack!
Lin Yi waved his hand and pped the man in the ck vest in the face. Thetter fell to the ground and covered his face, his eyes filled with confusion.
He did not expect this Huaxian man to dare to attack him. This was his territory!
As he thought of this, the man in the ck vest got up from the ground and rushed towards Lin Yi.
At the same time, hispanions rushed over and prepared to attack Lin Yi together.
Lin Yis eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of coldness.
Dont f*cking waste my time!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi kicked. The man in the ck tank top was sent flying and hit the wall behind him!
Whoosh!
Smoke and dust fell from the impact area, showing how strong Lin Yi was.
Then, Lin Yi grabbed the other persons hair and threw him at the wall!
A blood-curdling scream sounded. Hispanions head was bleeding as he rolled on the ground and howled loudly.
How dare you attack us? Ill call the police now. The police will kill you!
Call the police?
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. Wiry didnt he think of this just now?
It didnt matter if he couldnt find them. He would just let them take the initiative toe over.
This role-reversal n was pretty good.
Chapter 1804 Captured
Chapter 1804 Captured
"Call the police now if you dare. I''ll wait here."
"Then you''d better watch yourself. You won''t have a good time when the policee!"
The man in the ck vest did not hesitate. He picked up his phone and called the police.
Lin Yi stood at the side leisurely, waiting for the police toe.
The man in the ck vest helped hispanion up and said to him,
"Don''t be afraid. The police will be here soon. They''ll definitely teach him a lesson."
The other person covered his bleeding head with a cold smile.
"This is our territory. The Huaxians are bullying us. They will definitely arrest him."
Both of them were a little smug. The local police would definitely side with them.
After all, he was a Huaxian from a country perceived as poor and backward, iparable to Panem. Naturally, they felt they could bully him.
In less than twenty minutes, they heard the sound of a police car outside the alley.
Soon, a police car stopped outside the alley. Two police officers got out of the car and jogged towards Lin Yi.
Seeing the two people beaten to the ground and looking at Lin Yi, the police officer''s expression immediately turned ugly. He questioned him loudly,
"Huaxian, were you the one who injured them?!"
"They wanted to rob me, so I did this." Lin Yi shrugged and smiled.
"Mr. Policeman, don''t listen to him. We didn''t try to rob him. He''s the one who wanted to rob us!"
"Don''t worry, we''ll take care of this."
The police officer took out his handcuffs and turned to Lin Yi.
"You''re suspected of robbery. Pleasee with us!"
This simple and crude method made Lin Yi feel sick.
It was not just this small city, the entire country seemed to be like this.
"Are you going to take me away without saying anything? Isn''t your way of handling things too hasty?"
"Someone has already used you of robbery. Do you still want to quibble?" The police officer said coldly.
"We don''t want to hear anything right now. You''d bettere with us. Don''t make us shoot you."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.
"What if I want you to shoot me?"
"You want us to shoot?"
The two of them were furious and immediately took out the guns from their waists.
"You asked for it. Don''t me us for being impolite!"
But just as the two of them were about to attack, Lin Yi made his move!
Without giving the two of them any chance, Lin Yi rushed in front of them at lightning speed.
He straightened his fingers to turn his hand into a knife and chopped at one of the policemen''s necks with his palm.
Thetter couldn''t withstand Lin Yi''s strength and fainted on the spot, lying crookedly on the ground. N?v(el)B\\jnn
Lin Yi took advantage of the situation and kicked the other person. He used even more strength than before. After hitting the wall, blood gushed out of the corner of the man''s mouth and he fainted.
In a few seconds, the noisy and cursing alley had quieted down.
The man in the ck vest and hispanion stared with fear written all over their faces.
"How dare you attack the police? You''re too bold!"
"Don''t you think you''re talking a lot of nonsense?"
Lin Yi did the same thing to them and the duo fainted.
He picked up the gun on the ground and found four magazines on the two officers. Then, he put them in his pocket.
Before leaving, Lin Yi threw the four unconscious people into the trash can beside him. No one would discover them for a while.
This time was enough for him and Zhou Liang to escape.
After achieving his goal, Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. Then, he lowered his straw hat and walked towards the private hospital.
Other than the Bass ore being snatched away, everything was developing in a good direction.
After waiting for ten minutes, Lin Yi returned to the hospital.
After entering, Lin Yi quickened his pace and prepared to meet up with Zhou Liang.
But at this moment, Lin Yi sensed that something was wrong.
He carefully looked elsewhere and realized that the private hospital was quiet. There was no sound at all.
Moreover, the middle-aged doctor and his wife were not here. No one knew where they had gone.
It felt abandoned, even the most basic signs of life were gone.
All of a sudden, Lin Yi''s heart raced and his nerves tensed up.
He could smell blood in the air.
Lin Yi suddenly turned around and saw messy footprints on the sand outside through the ss door!
There were also two fingernail-sized bloodstains at the corner of the earth!
In an instant, cold sweat flowed down Lin Yi''s forehead.
He suddenly elerated and rushed to the second floor like a cheetah. When he arrived, he saw a mess.
The benches in the second-floor hall had been toppled over, IV standsy scattered on the ground.
There was a alsorge pool of blood, as if the area had been ravaged by a cmity.
Lin Yi''s face turned pale, and his eyes were zed as he rushed toward Zhou Liang''s hospital room.
But he found no one inside. It was as silent and empty as an endless wilderness.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, a series of gunshots rang out!
Hot bullets spurted from the gun barrels with such high temperatures that it felt like even the air had be scorching!
Lin Yi''s reaction was incredibly swift. He had already sensed that something was wrong just before the attack began.
He lunged to the side and forward, instinctively drawing the gun from his pocket and firing three shots in quick session, killing the two ambushers instantly!
Just then, more people hiding under the bed and in the wardrobe burst out, while another dozen or so rushed in from outside, surrounding Lin Yi!
These attackers didn''t care about anything else. They just started shooting wildly.
The intense gunfire created a web of fire in mid-air, descending from above and enveloping the entire hospital room.
Lin Yi reacted quickly and rushed to the window of the ward!
Crash!
Under Lin Yi''s impact, the ss shattered.
Lin Yi jumped to the first floor and rolled forward to offset the impact.
However, at this moment, more than ten people appeared from elsewhere. They were holding weapons and shooting at Lin Yi crazily.
"F*ck!"
Lin Yi cursed and found his car, but he realized that the interior was already destroyed. It was impossible to drive again, so he used the car as a cover and fired a few shots at the people rushing over.
Three more people fell under Lin Yi''s gunshots.
With such a loss, ck Snake''s actions became more cautious. They no longer blindly fired indiscriminately.
With this opening, Lin Yi desperately searched for cover in the night, trying to dodge any iing shots.
Lin Yi''s night vision was outstanding, and he was far less restricted than the other party.
With this advantage, Lin Yi gradually pulled away from the people surrounding him.
Then, he disappeared into the night.
"Chase after him!"
One of the members of ck Snake shouted, "We can''t let him off!"
Chapter 1805 Interrogation
Chapter 1805 Interrogation
The sound of a car engine could be heard. ck Snake''s men were searching for Lin Yi in the city.
On the other side, Lin Yi was running for his life through the city.
His thoughts were simple. It was no longer safe to stay in the city. He had to think of a way to escape from the small city so that no one could catch him.
After running at full speed for more than half an hour, Lin Yi''s stamina was declining.
He was trying to persevere, but he suddenly heard shouts and the sound of engines elsewhere.
Seeing that the situation was worsening, Lin Yi turned around and hid in an alley.
He climbed to an outdoor balcony on the second floor.
The moment he heard the shouts, the owner of the house had woken up. Now that he was seeing a stranger in the house, he could not help but scream loudly.
However, Lin Yi didn''t give him a chance to expose his location. He ced a palm on his neck and knocked him out.
Through this, he obtained a short breather.
After dealing with the owner of the house, Lin Yi walked towards the living room.
The living room was facing the street. Lin Yi gently lifted the curtains and nced outside.
He saw three off-road vehicles and dozens of people searching for his traces.
However, the people in front of him had changed appearances. They were no longer the same group of people as before. Instead, they were all Meiguon soldiers.
Lin Yi panted heavily. He found a box of cigarettes on the dining table and lit one nervously to calm himself down.
Without a doubt, Zhou Liang had already been captured.
Lin Yi couldn''t be sure if he was dead or alive.
But what he could not figure out was why his location had been exposed while hiding here.
When he sent the news to Liang Ruoxu, she would probably tell Lu Beichen urately and not let the mole know anything.
So why was he still exposed?
Could it the problem not lie with them?
Lin Yi took a deep puff of his cigarette and calmly analyzed the situation before him.
There were two groups of people in the city. One was the ck Snake Organization, and the other was the Meiguons.
Thisbination allowed Lin Yi to deduce some clues.
When he was chatting with Lu Beichen previously, he knew that the Meiguons were secretly working with these people from overseas.
The goal was to get the ore and carry out more scientific research.
But where did they get the information?
After thinking about it, Lin Yi didn''t believe that the mole had exposed his information.
Liang Ruoxu had grown up in the courtyard. Even though she had never experienced something like this before, she had been influenced by this life since he was young and knew how to deal with this matter.
An old fox like Lu Beichen would not have any problems with such matters.
Therefore, the problem might have appeared elsewhere, but he just did not know where yet.
Lin Yi would never have thought that his whereabouts would be revealed by that seemingly harmless couple!
It was because they had called the police that the authorities suspected dangerous individuals were involved and reported the incident to the national security department.
Due to this, Lin Yi''s whereabouts were exposed.
A thousand-mile dyke was destroyed by an anthill; Lin Yi had thought his n was wless but never anticipated facing setbacks here.
From time to time, shouts could be heard from outside.
Lin Yi couldn''t quite make out what they were saying but gathered that they were calling for increased search efforts.
Despite this, Lin Yi did not panic. He didn''t believe these people could find him in a short time.
However, even with this confidence, he couldn''t calm his mind.
Zhou Liang had been taken, and he had no idea what would happen next.
Whenever he thought about it, he couldn''t find peace. It felt as if he were trapped in an ice cave, shivering uncontrobly, unable to stop trembling.
In a warehouse in Chepopur City, Zhou Liang was tied to a chair.
Dark red blood seeped out of the gauze on his right leg and spread to his calf.
Two bright searchlights were aimed at Zhou Liang''s eyes.
There were more than ten people standing in the warehouse. They were armed as they stood on both sides of him.
Opposite Zhou Liang stood a man in a brown camouge suit. He was very tall and had a well-proportioned figure. His hair was a little messy, but there was a hint of wildness and ruthlessness to him.
The man''s name was Grillo, and he was the person in charge of the ck Snake Operations Team.
During this time, all the battles that had taken ce within Panem involving the ck Snake organization were under hismand.
"Huaxian, lift your head," said Grillo.
Zhou Liang kept his head half-lowered, motionless, without any reaction.
At that moment, the person standing behind Grillo walked over to Zhou Liang, punched him in the chest, grabbed his hair, and forced his face toward the nearby spotlight.
"Cough, cough, cough"
Zhou Liang coughed a few times. The blinding light made his tears flow.
"Huaxian, where did you hide the ore?" Grillo asked.
"I don''t know. It''s useless even if you ask me," Zhou Liang said intermittently.
"If you think you''re so awesome, just kill me. It''s no big deal."
"I know. The ore must be with your partner. That''s why I want to know where he is. I hope you can help us find him. I, Grillo, promise that you will go home alive." N?v(el)B\\jnn
"Do you think that''s possible?" Zhou Liang sneered.
"I already said that I''m not afraid of death. Why would I do such a thing?"
Grillo tapped his ears impatiently and raised his head at his subordinate.
Thetter understood what he meant. He held the gun in his hand and smashed it fiercely at Zhou Liang''s thigh!
"Ah!"
A heart-wrenching scream came from the warehouse.
Zhou Liang''s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. His face turned pale and he almost fainted.
The blood on the gauze dripped down.
"We only want the goods, and we don''t want to kill anyone, but only if you cooperate with me. Otherwise, I don''t mind killing you," Grillo said.
"I, I"
Zhou Liang''s consciousness was no longer clear, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
"I''ve already said that I don''t know anything You can''t get anything out of me"
Grillo waved his hand, signaling the people below to continue.
At this moment, another person came over. Just like the previous person, he held a weapon in his hand and smashed it on Zhou Liang''s right leg every time.
This actionsted for a few minutes until he fainted.
''Wake him up and carry on,'' said Grillo.
Soon, arge bucket of water was poured over Zhou Liang''s head.
"Cough, cough, cough"
Zhou Liang felt as if he was drowning. He coughed violently a few times, but the pain in his leg had already numbed him. He felt nothing at this time.
He panted heavily, his eyes empty and lifeless.
"Huaxian, are you still not going to speak? There''s really no need for you to persevere. Nothing is more important than your life."
Zhou Liang did not respond. He was like a walking corpse.
Grillo shook his head and said to his subordinate,
"Let''s try something else. He''s probably not afraid of pain anymore."

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
One of the men nodded in acknowledgment and took out a pair of insted
gloves. He pulled a wire from the spotlight.
Then, he stuck it to Zhou Liang.
All!
Zhou Liangs scream was not as intense as before, but his body convulsed uncontrobly under the electric current.
The entire processsted a full five seconds.
Due to the different electrical standards, Panems voltage was no volts. If it had been Huaxias 220 volts, five seconds of current would have been enough to stop his heart.
Keep going.
After pausing for a few seconds, Grillos men stuck the wires to Zhou Liangs body again.
All!
The scream came again, longer this time,sting at least seven seconds.
When he stopped, Zhou Liang was already on the verge of death. His arm was charred ck from electric burns.
Grillo walked towards Zhou Liang and looked down at him.
You still dont want to say it.
Zhou Liangs eyes were empty and lifeless. Hey motionless on the ground as if he was dead.
Grillo frowned. What a tough nut to crack.
Boss, should we continue? His subordinate asked.
Hell die if this goes on, Grillo said.
His leg is already crippled. Theres no point in keeping his other leg. Cripple
it.
Yes.
The two subordinates did not hesitate. To them, this was very normal.
One of them held the gun in his hand and fired it at Zhou Liangs left leg.
After giving his instructions, Grillo walked out of the warehouse and returned to the car.
He lit a cigar and leisurely listened to music.
He did not want to participate in the interrogation anymore, so he handed it
over to his subordinates to handle.
For the next half hour, Zhou Liangs screams filled the warehouse.
Gradually, the screams grew quieter until only the sounds of banging and thudding remained.
Other than that, no other sounds emerged.
Soon, another hour passed.
During this time, the screams continued sporadically, each time growing softer until they eventually fell silent.
Red blood slowly seeped out from the gap beneath the warehouse door.
ng
The warehouse door was pushed open, and the subordinate who had first acted stepped out from inside.
Did he say it? Grillo turned off the music and asked his subordinate.
No. We broke his limbs and pulled out his nails and teeth, but we didnt say anything. I was afraid hed die from the shock if I tried again, so I let him off for now.
You didnt speak even after that? Grillo sighed.
No, notaword.
That unyielding Huaxian is really amazing.
Its very likely that hes from the Central Guards Brigade. Otherwise, he
wouldnt have such great endurance.
Id already guessed that, Grillo said dryly.
What should we do next? The ore must be on hispanion. The other paity hasnt shown his face yet. Im afraid that he will sneak away like before.
That shouldnt be possible. This city is already surrounded, and the security outside the city is even tighter. Its impossible for anyone to escape. I believe hes still in the city, but we just dont know where hes hiding yet. Grillo said.
However, we cant dy this matter for too long. We have to think of a way.
We have to either find that man or get the guy inside to speak!
A few hours passed, and the sky turned bright.
Cologne is located in the central region of Panem, facing the Sparrow Sea, and is a famous coastal city.
On the highway into the city was a white Land Rover with six people in it. Each
of them was staring in a different direction, as if they were looking for something.
Sitting in the passenger seat was Ning Che.
Ever since they confirmed that there was a mole in the Central Guards Brigade, Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo had separated.
Qiu Yuluo was in charge of creating a diversion and tricking the other party, creating the illusion that Lin Yi was still in Santos.
Ning Che, on the other hand, secretly headed to Cologne to pick up Lin Yi. Is there any news from the headquarters? Ning Che asked with a frown.
Not yet. Boss Liu said that weve lost contact with Team Leader Lin again. We havent been able to contact him.
Ask the people stationed on the other roads if theyve spotted any sign of Lin Yi.
We just asked them. Theres no news. The city is calm, and theres no sign of anything unusual. If Team Leader Lin had entered the city, he would have found a way to signal us. Its impossible that theres no news at all.
Ning Che lit a cigarette, her expression extremely grim.
Earlier, Zhou Liang had sent a message saying he would head to Cologne early.
Its been over ten hours since then, and even at a slow pace, he should have reached Cologne by now.
Lin Yi was a very cautious person and wouldnt make mistakes in such matters. The fact that theres no news and theyve lost contact with headquarters was not a good sign.
It indicated that Lin Yi couldnt send a signal. In other words, he might have fallen into danger again.
Moreover, every road leading to Cologne had their people monitoring it. If Lin Yi had reallye, they wouldnt have missed him.
Lin Yi said before that hes in Chepopur, right?
Yes, thats right.
After thinking for a few seconds, Ning Che made a bold decision.
Inform Team 6 to continue guarding this ce. The rest of you, follow me back to Chepopur!
Go back? Boss Liu asked us to stay here and receive Team Leader Lin. Without his orders, can we go back like this?
I have a bad feeling that something might happen if we wait any longer. Just listen to me. Hurry back to Chepopur as quick as possible!
Okay!
Not long after Ning Che and the others left, a ck Raptor stopped at the side of the highway that led into the city.
The two pickup trucks parked together, one in front of the other. Song Jinmin got out of the truck, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. At the same time, the men from the other pickup truck also got out.
One of them was a burly man, wearing a ck tank top and army green camouge pants. His muscles were taut and powerful, like steel ready to explode with energy.
On his right arm, there was a tattoo of the number 6 in Arabic numerals, with a spade symbol next to it.
His name was Frank, code-named Six of Spades.
Originally, Song Jinmin and Lin Jingzhan were both on Tilia Ind, but after something happened to Lin Yi, they sent him back.
At the same time, twelve of his subordinates returned.
Hows the situation? Is there any news from the city? Song Jinmin asked.
Theres no news at all. I dont think hes here.
Song Jinmin looked at his watch and muttered expressionlessly.
Its been so long. Why isnt he here yet?
Suddenly, Song Jinmins expression changed. He turned around and got into the car.
Inform everyone below to return to Chepopur!

Chapter 1807: All of You Should Die!
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Standing by the window, Lin Yi stared at the street below.
He realized that there were more and more people appearing on the streets. Almost every corner was sealed off.
There was no expression on Lin Yis face. From the looks of it, he would die if he went out.
Most importantly, he had to find out where Zhou Liang was.
Looking up at the moon, Lin Yi estimated that there were still two hours before dawn.
This was hisst chance!
He had to think of a way to find out Zhou Liangs whereabouts.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi took a deep breath. He knew that the situation outside was very dangerous.
He wasnt sure if he could get out alive, so he found a pen and paper in the house, wrote two short letters, and put them on his chest.
After everything was prepared, Lin Yi touched the two guns in his hands and ran to the balcony. However, he stood inside and did not move.
A few minutester, footsteps came from the other end of the alley.
Lin Yi nced sideways and realized that it was a Meiguon soldier.
He looked around, trying to find any clues.
The target approached, but Lin Yi didnt make a move.
In his mind, he knew it was impossible for them to have made a move on Zhou Liang.
Even the superpowers in the world would be bound by the rules. Therefore, the key to the problem was most likely ck Snake.
Just like that, the two groups of people brushed past each other, and nothing happened.
On the terrace, Lin Yi suppressed his breathing and heartbeat, waiting for his target to appear again.
He waited for more than twenty minutes.
Footsteps sounded again. Two men in camouge uniforms were approaching from the entrance to the alley.
They were saying something, but Lin Yi couldnt hear it clearly.
Quietly, Lin Yi took out the scalpel on his back, ready to make a move at any moment.
Just as the two of them reached the balcony, Lin Yi jumped down!
He rode on one of them and covered his mouth.
The sudden change made the two of them momentarily stunned.
However, the other partys professionalism was clear to see. In less than a second, he adapted to the sudden change.
The other person instinctively raised his gun and aimed it at Lin Yis head!
But just as he was about to pull the trigger, he felt a chill on his neck.
His arteries were severed, and the strength in his body left him like a deted ball. He did not even have the strength to speak, let alone pull the trigger.
After killing one person, Lin Yi pointed his gun at the other persons head and said in a low voice,
If you dare to make a sound, Ill kill you!
The member of ck Snake were so frightened that he nodded repeatedly. He raised his hands and did not dare to move!
When they had left Santa ra, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had killed two members of the ck Snake organization and taken their clothes. Lin Yi was still wearing one of these outfits.
They had only taken the masks, bandanas, and weapons from the deceased.
Dump the body in the trash bin.
The ck Snake member didnt dare to say more and followed Lin Yis orders, carrying hisrades body to a nearby trash bin.
After cleaning up the scene, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang disappeared into a narrow alley.
How did you find this ce? Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
Two locals called the police. The information reached the military, and thats how we learned about it.
Call the police?
Lin Yi muttered to himself as realization dawned on him.
It must have been the doctor and his wife!
They were not killed. Instead, they left the hospital after calling the police!
F*ck!
Lin Yi cursed angrily. If he could find the couple, he would definitely pull the trigger without hesitation!
Where did you take mypanion?!
I-I dont know either
Youre not going to tell me?
Lin Yi held the gun and pointed it at the head of the ck Snake member.
Since I can catch you, I can catch the others. Therefore, your life is not worth much to me. You only have three seconds to consider. After that, Ill send you to meet God.
No, no, no, dont
The ck Snake member raised his hands and knelt on the ground.
I really dont know. When it got dark, we raided the hospital. After we caught the men, the leader took them away and told us to search the city for any sign of you. So I dont know where the leader took your partner.
Lin Yi held the gun tightly and pressed it against the other partys head.
Do any of these people searching the city know anything concrete?
Our team leader might know.
Team leader?
There are a total of six teams here this time. Im from Team 4, and Im in charge of searching this area.
Take me there.
Okay, okay
With Lin Yi aiming a gun to his head, the ck Snake member didnt dare to refute.
The two of them walked out one after another.
Because of the dark night, no one paid attention to Lin Yi.
Instead, he continued to do what he was doing.
Under the guidance of the ck Snake member, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang arrived at a construction site of a residential building.
The building was a two-story structure with a vi-like style. The main framework wasplete, but the other facilities had yet to be constructed.
The interior was chaotic, with plenty of food scattered around and many weapons and ammunition on the ground, ready to be used in case of emergencies.
Inside, Lin Yi saw three people.
Two of them were sleeping against the wall, while an older man with a beardy snoring on a makeshift wooden bed.
As expected, the man on the bed was their captain.
As Lin Yi had anticipated, the person lying on the bed was the leader of Team 4, Leon.
Just then, the noise from inside the house caused the sleeping men to open their eyes almost simultaneously, their vignce rmingly sharp.
Seeing the situation turning dire, Lin Yi swiftly took his knife and slit the throat of the ck Snake member beside him.
Now, he was not in the mood to care about the morals of the martial arts world.
The people in front of him.
All of them deserved to die!
After taking care of one person, Lin Yi rushed to the other person by the wall at lightning speed. A cold light shed, and the person who had just opened his eyes had his neck slit.
Initially, Lin Yi wanted to kill the other person, but he was too slow.
They all regained consciousness and reached for their weapons!
Under such circumstances, even a single second was precious, representing the difference between life and death.
Throwing the scalpel, Lin Yi took out his gun and aimed it at Leons head!
At the same time, the remaining persons throat was pierced by the scalpel. He could only make a whimpering sound before falling to the ground.
Leon stood where he was, not daring to act rashly.
At this moment, his hand had already reached for his weapon.
If he was given even half a second more, the situation in front of him would be very different. The person at gunpoint would have been Lin Yi.
What are you going to do? Leon asked.
Where is our man?
Chapter 1808: Struggle and Fear
Chapter 1808: Struggle and Fear
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
I dont know what youre talking about, but you definitely wont be able to walk out of here. Leon looked at Lin Yi and said.
Hurry up and tell me where the ore is. That way, you can still live.
Lin Yi stood unmoved. I dont want to waste time on you, so Ill give you three seconds. If you dont tell me, Ill use force.
But Im not afraid, Keib said.
If you dont hand over the ore, youll definitely be the one to die in the end. Facing ck Snake, you can only cooperate. Otherwise, you wont meet a good end.
Then theres no need to talk any more nonsense.
Lin Yi pointed the gun at Leon and walked to his side. He struck his neck and knocked him out.
When he woke up again, he found himself drenched and trussed to a chair. His mouth was taped shut and he couldnt make a sound.
However, he realized that Lin Yi was fiddling with some gunpowder. He didnt know what he was doing.
Seeing that Leon had woken up, Lin Yi walked up to him with a scalpel.
A hint of fear appeared in thetters eyes. Most people in their line of work were prepared to die.
Especially a small leader like Leon; he was not afraid of death.
But that didnt make him a perfect warrior.
There were many fearless people in the world, like those whomit suicide. They too had reached that point.
However, they chose to end their lives in quick and clean ways.
This was because they wanted to avoid pain.
When it came to facing torture, the situation was entirely different.
Leons fear stemmed from deep within. He knew very well that Lin Yi would not let him off easily.
He didnt know what Lin Yi was going to do.
But he knew that this man was capable of anything.
Lin Yi didnt waste any time. He cut open Leons pants and made a centimeter-deep cut on his calf.
Blood dripped from the sharp scalpel. Leon was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Lin Yi didnt say anything and sprinkled the gunpowder on his wound.
Seeing this scene, Leons body trembled. He could guess what Lin Yi was going to do.
However, his mouth was sealed and he could only make whimpering sounds. It was not enough for him to reveal the information.
Lin Yi didnt say anything, nor did he hesitate. He lit the gunpowder with a lighter.
The blinding light burned on Leons calf.
The heart-wrenching pain made his face contort, and then his body spasmed. It was so painful that he rolled his eyes.
Just as he was about to faint, Lin Yi shed his leg again.
Under the stimtion of the sharp pain, Leon regained consciousness. Lin Yi sprinkled the gunpowder on it again and prepared to do the same.
Leon shook his head crazily. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of this kind of torture.
Lin Yi tilted his head. Are you going to tell me now?
Leon nodded frantically. The pain had driven him beyond reason.
This man was a devil. Nothing good woulde of going against him.
Lin Yi pointed the gun at Leons head and pulled off the tape on his mouth.
Tell me, where is he?
Hes in a warehouse to the northwest. Youll be able to find him there.
Then pleasee with me. Lin Yi said.
But before that, I want you to move all the weapons here to the car outside.
But my leg is already
If you want to die, just say so. I dont mind sending you to God.
No, no, no. Ill move.
Lane stood up, but the pain in his leg instantly made him copse.
However, Lin Yi was standing behind him, making him feel like his back was being pricked. He stood up with difficulty and endured the immense pain as he limped and carried the three boxes of ammunition to the car.
At the same time, Lin Yi also brought the dozens of guns in the house to the car.
Apart from that, Lin Yi also used timed explosives to make a small detonator. This way, the initiative would be in his hands.
When the two of them were done with their preparations, the sky was already starting to brighten.
Lin Yi ced Leon in the passenger seat.
Then, he drove towards the northwest.
As the leader of Team 4, Leon had a certain status among these people.
Seeing that he was sitting in the passenger seat, no one came up to stop him. They did not stop to ask any questions and the journey was smooth.
However, when they arrived at the warehouse in the northwest, they realized that there was no one there.
Lin Yis pupils constricted. He held the gun to Leons head and looked around cautiously.
He was afraid that this was a trap!
If you dare to y tricks on me, believe it or not, Ill shoot you dead!
Im not!
Leon said excitedly, The leader did bring him here, but I dont know why theres no one here anymore. I need to call and ask.
Lin Yi looked around and didnt sense any danger. There shouldnt be anyone lying in ambush nearby.
Callhim now!
Okay.
Leon picked up his phone while Lin Yi looked around in case anything happened.
But at the door, he saw a long pool of blood.
It extended for more than ten meters from the door, then stopped abruptly.
Lin Yi shivered, using his profiling skills to deduce the cause of the blood trail.
Someone must have been dragged out of the warehouse.
The blood on the ground came from that person.
And that person was very likely Zhou Liang!
Leon hadnt lied. Zhou Liang might have been brought here, only to be taken away again.
Lin Yis body trembled violently, and he could barely hold his gun steady.
He desperately wanted to check inside the warehouse but didnt dare to.
For the first time, Lin Yi felt fear, confronted with something he couldnt face.
He was afraid his emotions would copse.
At this moment, Leon finished his call.
Theyre on Hank Street. Well find them there.
You lead the way.
Okay
Lin Yi was expressionless as he drove towards Hank Street.
Seconds ticked by, and they were getting closer to Hank Street.
But as time passed, Lin Yi became more and more uneasy.
He could not wait to save Zhou Liang, but he was afraid of rushing there.
He was afraid that he would see a scene that he could not bear.
The struggle and torment in his heart made him feel conflicted, and his mind almost copsed.
The sun rose in the east, shedding light as a symbol of hope.
But in Lin Yis eyes, this was another level of darkness.
Ten minutester, they arrived at Hank Street.
Lin Yis car stopped at the entrance of the street.
Because dozens of meters ahead, he saw a Land Rover.
The car drove very slowly. It was not even moving as fast as a person running.
There was a rope tied to the back of the car.
At the other end of the rope, a man was being dragged, with the rope tied around his neck.
And that person
It was Zhou Liang!
Chapter 1809: The Final Battle
Chapter 1809: The Final Battle
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi gritted his teeth. He could even hear the sound of his teeth grinding. Because he had used so much strength, he even cracked the stic outer shell of the steering wheel.
No one would have expected that the method Lin Yi used during the regional martial artspetition would now be used against him.
Sitting nearby, Leon felt an overwhelming aura of killing intent.
This was more terrifying than the torture.
Only at this moment did he truly understand the man before him.
To hide for so long under such tight surveince, if he hadnt exposed himself, no one might have ever discovered him.
This terrifying man from the East was probably not an ordinary person.
After a long time, Lin Yi forced himself to calm down and said word by word, Do you know whos driving?
No, I dont know
Leon answered slowly. The murderous aura emanating from Lin Yi made him feel like there was a demon sitting beside him that could tear him apart.
It could be our leader, Grillo. It could be someone else.
Lin Yi didnt say anything and quietly observed from behind. Then, he followed carefully, maintaining a certain distance between them, not daring to get too close.
There were countless times when he wanted to close his eyes, unable to bear to see the scene in front of him.
However, he knew that he could not escape.
At the same time, Lin Yi saw the people on the street greeting and saluting the people in the car. He instinctively guessed that the person in the car was very likely their leader.
Otherwise, the people patrolling below would not show such an attitude.
Lin Yi drove the car to the right.
This positioned him right next to the passenger side of the car ahead.
Someone of Grillos status would certainly not be driving himself, allowing Lin Yi to face him directly.
If our leader is in that car, what youre doing is suicide! Leon warned.
From now on, you are of no further use. You can go meet God now.
Lin Yi pulled out a scalpel and sliced through Leons artery, causing blood to spray everywhere, including on Lin Yis face.
After dealing with Leon, Lin Yi floored the elerator, quickly pulling up alongside the car ahead, now driving side by side.
He was not 100% sure the person sitting in the passenger seat was their leader. However, Lin Yi didnt want to care so much anymore. His emotions were no longer under control.
He only wanted to do one thing, and that was to kill the person in the car!
In the ground patrol car in front, Grillo looked around leisurely with a cigar in his mouth.
Boss, will thise work? the driver asked.
You dont understand the Huaxians. They are an interesting race.
In their history, countless people have sacrificed themselves under such circumstances. No matter how they were treated, they would not say a word. Their bones are very hard.
I know that. Weve used all our methods, and he still hasnt talked. Hes one of the toughest people Ive ever encountered.
Thats right. The Jiaxoam are a very loyal people, and most of them highly value rtionships, Grillo said, flicking ash from his cigarette.
I believe the remaining person wont leave Chepopur. Seeing hispanion in this state, he will definitely show himself. Thats the Huaxian peoples weakness; they have soft hearts. We need to exploit that.
Understood. The mission has dragged on for so long. Its finally about to bepleted.
At this moment, a muffled sound was heard.
Whoosh!
When the car was side by side, Lin Yi turned the steering wheel violently to the left and mmed into the car beside him!
The two people in the car were shocked.
They were knocked into a daze by this sudden collision!
But Lin Yi didnt stop!
He controlled his car and pushed Grillos car to the entrance of the shop beside him, forcing them to stop!
The violent impact knocked Grillo and the driver dizzy.
However, their physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, and they had all witnessed great storms before.
Grillo quickly regained hisposure and cursed, drawing his gun to kill the foolish threat.
But Lin Yi didnt give him the chance.
He threw the scalpel, instantly killing the driver, then pressed his gun to
Grillos head.
Dont move, or Ill kill you!
Lin Yis threat was immediately effective, and Grillo remained still in the passenger seat.
At the same time, members of the ck Snake organization swarmed in like a tide.
They all aimed their guns at Lin Yis head.
Additionally, dozens of American soldiers also had their sights set on Lin Yi.
At this moment, there were no fewer than two hundred people surrounding Lin Yi.
But none of them fired, because Grillo was still in Lin Yis hands.
Lin Yi pointed the gun at his head and shouted with the controller in his other hand,
Nobody move. There are explosives in the car. If 1 press the switch, were all finished!
Hearing this, no one dared to act rashly.
In their eyes, Lin Yi was a lunatic who would do anything.
No one dared to risk their lives, especially the Meiguon soldiers.
However, in the crowd, a single person started slowly moving back.
Because his movements were very slight and everyone was in a nervous state, no one noticed him.
Under such circumstances, a member of the ck Snake Organization quietly retreated into the alley.
And this person was Chen Guanjie!
Back then, Lin Yi had sent a message saying that he would go to Santos.
He quietly spread the news.
But on the way to Santos.
The ck Snake Organization received news that Lin Yi was hiding in
Chepopur.
Initially, he didnt trust the news, but after catching Zhou Liang, he couldnt help but admire Lin Yi.
This diversionary tactic was really beautifully yed.
If his n had seeded, the danger would have beenpletely removed.
It was only a matter of time before he could safely return to the country.
But now, none of that mattered.
Lin Yi hade here for Zhou Liang. One could only imagine the consequences.
After such a long time, the n was finally realized.
At the thought of this, Chen Guanjies figurepletely disappeared from everyones sight. He was prepared to report the news.
At the same time, Lin Yi pulled Grillo out of the car.
Holding the controller in one hand and gripping Grillos neck with the other,
Lin Yi pointed his gun at Grillos head. Like a raging lion, he roared at everyone around him.
Put mypanion back in the car, or well all die together!
Chapter 1810: A Fatal Blow!
Chapter 1810: A Fatal Blow!
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
This furious roar carried the force of a howling forest.
The murderous aura that shot out from Lin Yi shocked everyone around him.
This was also the first time they felt the illusion of being surrounded by thousands of soldiers.
Do as he says, said Grillo.
The ore is still with him. Dont move.
As the highest-ranking officer of this operation, the people of ck Snake listened to his orders and did not act rashly.
On the other side, dozens of Meiguon soldiers did the same.
This was because they hade here to maintain peace. There were many things that they could not do.
This could only be done through ck Snake, so at this moment, Grillos orders were very important.
After thinking for a few seconds, the person in charge of the Meiguo side gave the same instructions and had his subordinates take a few steps back.
Tell your men to carry my partner to the car.
Grillo paused for a second, then said, Do as he says. Bring the man to the car.
Two people walked out from the crowd. One of them cut the rope. Then, the two of them worked together to carry Zhou Liang into the car.
Huaxian, our target is the ore. I hope you can hand it over. This will be beneficial to you.
Cut the cr*p!
Lin Yi pointed his gun at Grillos head and looked at the Meiguon general.
You guys got involved because you want the ore, right?
Thats something the whole world forbids. We dont do things like that. Were here to keep the peace.
The person who spoke was called Roy. He was a lieutenant colonel.
If you dont want it, then theres no need to talk nonsense with you. Lin Yi sneered.
When I sessfully escape, Ill give it to him.
No! You cant do this! Roy shouted.
In reality, no matter what the final oue was, the ore would fall into their hands.
However, taking it and buying it from ck Snake were two different concepts!
If he could obtain the ores in this operation, it would be counted toward his merit points.
This was very important.
Why not?
The ore youre talking about is prohibited. It cant fall into their hands.
Dont make it sound so pompous. If you want it,e here now. Its better to give it to you than to give it to them.
I hope you wont y games with me. I wont give you a chance like that!
I dont have time to talk nonsense with you. If you dont want it, Ill leave. Lin Yi said.
But Im warning you, dont act rashly. Ive already hidden the two ores. Moreover, I have the ability to detonate them. I dont dare to say anything else, but Ill at least be able to blow up a few buildings. None of you will be able to leave.
This time, nobody dared to act rashly.
They hade here for the ore.
If they did not get the ore and also died here, it would not be worth it.
I can go with you, but you have to tell me where the ore is.
Of course.
For the sake of his merit points, Roy walked towards Lin Yi.
He believed that with him and Grillo around, as long as he found an opportunity, there was a high chance of them subduing this man.
When that happened, this farce would be over.
One of Lin Yis hands was around Grillos neck, and the other was pointing a gun at Roys head.
Lin Yi did this to ensure that he had a higher chance of escaping.
Compared to the ck Snake, the Meiguons were more afraid of death. With Roy as a hostage, his subordinates could notunch a sudden attack. With this, Lin Yi would be far safer!
Get in the car!
Lin Yi pointed the gun at Roys head.
Thetter didnt resist and walked towards Lin Yis car.
In the previous collision, Lin Yis car had its drivers seat pinned against the Land Cruiser, so Roy had to climb in from the passenger seat.
The car was driven out, and Lin Yi, still controlling Grillo, also got into the car.
In the back seat, Zhou Liang was covered in wounds. His legs and hands were a blur of injuries, and his mouth was stained with blood.
Lin Yis body trembled, an icy killing intent instantly enveloping both men.
It was as if he were a nuclear weapon on the verge of detonating.
When he had a gun pointed at his head, Grillo hadnt been afraid.
But now, he was terrified!
This man before him instilled fear in him.
Even Roy in the front seat felt the same terror.
Drive.
Lin Yis voice was cold; it was as if frost would appear when he breathed out.
Roy said nothing. Trembling, he started the car.
Now, he regretted getting into the car.
Roy didnt ask where Lin Yi was going. He was afraid the man would lose control.
A person who had lost control could not be restrained by logic and rules.
Ill get you out of the city safely, but I want to know when youre going to give me the ore.
Ill give it to you after we leave the city.
I hope you wont y any tricks. Even if you leave the city, our people will still be watching you. Its impossible for you to escape in this way!
If you still want the orc, cut the crap and drive with peace of mind.
Roy said nothing. He, too, was trying to think of a way to secure the ore and get out of here.
However, he had already lost the chance. All he could do was wait.
Beside a three-story building, Chen Guanjie, who had just called Wang Tingshan, frowned when he saw Lin Yi leave.
They actually let him go?
The scene before him caused Chen Guanjies expression to turn cold.
He didnt ask Wang Tingshan for instructions and prepared to do it himself. Otherwise, he would waste the best opportunity.
It had to be said that Wang Tingshans arrangements were really watertight.
Back then, when heid out this n, he thought it was perfect. However, to be safe, he still used Chen Guanjie.
He instructed him to observe things in secret. If something ended up happening, he could act in secret.
Now, things had developed to this point. Wang Tingshans fear hade true.
If he didnt stop Lin Yi now, thetter would definitely be able to escape.
Therefore, he had to make a move!
Looking around, Chen Guanjie found the perfect cover and set up his gun. The only pity was that he wasnt holding a sniper rifle. Otherwise, he could have killed Lin Yi with one shot.
Chen Guanjie steadied his breathing and waited for the best time to strike!
As the leader of Team 4- of the Central Guards Brigade, Chen Guanjies ability was unquestionable.
In terms of individualbat ability, Liu Hong was inferior to him.
A few secondster, Chen Guanjie narrowed his eyes and found the best time and angle to shoot!
And then
He pulled the trigger!
Chapter 1811: Death
Chapter 1811: Death
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The bullet burst out of the barrel, leaving a fiery trail in the air.
In the blink of an eye, it hit the cars tires.
BANG!
A bullet struck the tire, causing an instant flip.
Due to the momentum, the vehicle skidded on its side for over ten meters.
The violent jolt sent ss shards flying like shrapnel toward the three men inside.
None of them had anticipated this turn of events.
In the critical moment, Lin Yi didnt have time to worry about the others. He shielded Zhou Liang with his body, protecting him from the flying ss.
Cuts appeared on his arms and face, especially on the back of his head and forehead, where several gashes formed from the impact, with blood streaming down his face.
The worst part was that Lin Yi held Zhou Liang tightly to protect him, not moving an inch.
This caused his fingers to smash against the gun in front of him. Lin Yi gritted his teeth against the pain, knowing that at the very least, his fingers were broken.
But he couldnt afford to worry about that now.
There were bombs and weapons in the car. If anything went wrong, it would be aplete disaster!
After firing, Chen Guanjies figure disappeared without a trace.
The streets below were in a state of chaos.
Lin Yi carried Zhou Liang and climbed out of the car, trying to find cover!
However, before they could run far, the car exploded.
BOOM!
With the explosion, the off-road vehicle was sted into pieces. All of Chepopur could hear the loud bang!
The tsunami-like heatwave was like a ferocious beast that devoured the heavens and the earth. It shattered the ss of the surrounding houses and even caused an old house to copse.
Lin Yi used his body to protect Zhou Liang, but he couldnt stay out of the explosion.
The two of them flew together beforending heavily on the ground!
Hank Street was filled with smoke. The dozens of people who surrounded Lin Yi were all injured to varying degrees, and more than a dozen of them even died.
But at this moment, the remaining people did not dare to act rashly.
Smoke and fire filled the air, burning fiercely in the center of the explosion.
Because their vision was blocked, everyone was very careful and did not dare to act rashly.
Ten minutester, the situation stabilized. The two groups of people tried to advance, wanting to see if there were still any signs of life.
At this moment, the SUV had been blown into several parts.
As for Roy and Grillo in the car, they were long gone.
Someone found an arm more than ten meters away and determined that it belonged to Grillo.
No one was surprised by this scene.
Roy and Grillo couldnt survive an explosion of this scale.
Due to this, everyones gazes shifted to the front.
Because the corpses of the two Huaxians were dozens of meters away.
No one dared to be careless, fearing any further surprises.
Some were responsible for security on the perimeter, while others took the lead in advancing.
Although they had escaped from the car, the explosions force was immense, and it seemed impossible for anyone to survive.
Despite this, no one acted rashly, carefully moving forward.
After a few minutes, they reached Lin Yi.
They found him still tightly holding Zhou Liang.
His back was charred ck, with no intact skin visible.
Additionally, two pieces of metal had pierced his back: one near his heart, the other at his waist.
But what truly made them believe he was dead was a massive gash on his head, which was at least ten centimeters long.
With such severe injuries, survival was impossible.
At this moment, Grillos deputy, Bowen, and Roys deputy, Okafor, stepped forward.
Buddy, how should we handle this situation? Bowen asked.
We n to take these two Huaxian men with us. We can use them to make a statementter. They might still be of some use, Okafor replied.
But the ore is probably hidden somewhere in the city. Lets split up and search. Whoever finds it gets to keep it.
Ill have to ask the headquarters about this, but its not a big problem. Regardless, were on the same side. Well have to sell it to you in the end.
Okafor nodded and said to his subordinates behind him,
Take these two away.
Yes!
A few Meiguon soldiers walked over and prepared to work.
Boom, boom, boom
At this moment, a series of loud bangs sounded.
Everyone looked up and saw three ck helicopters flying over from not far away.
The sudden change made the two groups nervous again. They aimed their guns at the helicopter in the sky to prevent any idents from happening.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, gunshots rang out.
More than ten cars drove over from the surrounding streets. A few of them had heavy weapons attached to them as they fired crazily at the two groups of people. In an instant, they hadpletely suppressed them with their firepower.
The remaining thirty or so people put down their weapons and raised their hands. They had already given up resisting.
The helicopters in the skynded one after another, and the cars stopped in front of Lin Yi.
Song Jinmin alighted from the ne, along with the twelve members of his team.
From Spade 2 to King of Spades, everyone was present.
Seeing the tattoos on these people, the members of the ck Snake organization turned pale.
As the 17th ranked organization on the cklist, they knew exactly what these tattoos represented.
Simultaneously, the door of the leading Land Cruiser opened, and Ning Che stepped out.
Both groups had arrived in Chepobour at nearly the same time.
A conflict had erupted on the way.
The result was clear: Ning Ches side was utterly defeated.
However, after exining their respective purposes, the two sides quickly reconciled and proceeded together to Chepobour.
Song Jinmin stood at the front, staring motionlessly at Lin Yis lifeless body.
He closed his eyes, his brow deeply furrowed, the silent agony making it impossible for him to face the scene before him.
Lin Lin Yi
Thump
Ning Che staggered and fell to the ground.
Her legs didnt seem to listen to her. She couldnt stand up no matter how hard she tried.
Bean-sized tears fell uncontrobly like a downpour.
Stumbling, Ning Che crawled towards Lin Yi. In an instant, she felt all the blood in her body freeze.
She reached out to touch him, but it was as if she could not bring herself to do so.
Lin Lin Yi
She wished it was a dream. She wished she could wake up from it quickly. But the mangled figure was telling her the oue.
This moment was reality.
Ning Che grabbed Lin Yis hand and realized that it was still warm.
Lin Lin Yi
Ning Che called out softly, but there was no response.
LinYi
Lin Yi.
LinYi!
Ning Che hugged his corpse and could no longer hold back his tears. She burst into tears.
I beg you to open your eyes and look at me. Didnt you say that you would never die? Why cant you hold on for a few more minutes?
I beg you, dont die!
Ning Ches voice was hoarse and soul-stirring.

Ning Che hugged Lin Yis body and cried until his throat was hoarse.
Team Leader!
The members of Team 3 ran towards Ning Che with tears in their eyes.
After the previous setback, Group Three had undergone aplete overhaul, leaving only a few of the older members. Most of the team were neers who had stayed on after thest trial.
They had all met Lin Yi and knew his level.
Now, seeing his lifeless body lying before them, they couldnt ept it.
Team Leader Lin Yi, who always had a smile on his face and was absurdly powerful, was gone just like that.
It felt like a nightmare.
Yet, despite their grief, no one could truly understand Ning Ches feelings.
The two of them had risked their lives in Sunrise Land and even fought against Jeffrey from ck Gold Organization together in Doora. They had even had sex.
The rtionship between the two of them was deeper than any other pair in the Central Guards Brigade.
Prior to this, she had never been too worried despite the crisis in Panem.
She had absolute confidence in Lin Yi.
She had always believed that with Lin Yis ability, no matter how dangerous it was, he would be able to escape danger.
However, the scene before herpletely shattered her. This was a scene that she had never expected and could not ept.
Team, Team Leader Lin
The members of Team 3 called out softly, fearing for Ning Ches mental state.
But Ning Che couldnt hear anything around her. She just kept muttering, Dont die, dont die
Boss, what should we do about this? Do we need to inform the leader?
The Queen of Spades quietly asked Song Jinmin.
They all knew that the young man who had died was the leaders son.
There was no emotional bond between them, no personal connection.
But Ning Ches cries tugged at their hearts.
Lets wait a bit
Song Jinmin sat cross-legged on the ground. He had been by Lin Jingzhans side the longest, often responsible for protecting Qin Yingyue during their downtime.
He knew both of them very well, especially how much Qin Yingyue valued Lin Yi.
Now that something like this had happened, even he could not ept it. He did not know how to exin this to Qin Yingyue.
There was also the leader. Although he didnt care about Lin Yi, he was his only son and treated him as his future sessor.
That day, when they were drunk, they had even said that when they were both sessful and famous, a father and son woulde and acknowledge each other. At this moment, it had all turned into hot air
Song Jinmin did not know how to face the two of them.
If he had arrived earlier, he would have been able to get to Chepopur sooner. He wouldnt have wasted so much time, and this wouldnt have happened.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world, and he could not regret his actions.
What should we do with these people?
Take him away first. Song Jinmin said.
Go over and interrogate them. Investigate the ins and outs of the matter. You cant save him, but you have to know how he died.
Got it, the Queen of Spades replied.
Song Jinmin lit a cigarette and scratched his straw-like hair. He was a little confused and did not know how to decide in the current situation.
He could only quietly look at the wailing Ning Che.
Silence.
Leader, Lin Yi is already like this. We need to ept it and move on
Get out!
Ning Che sobbed uncontrobly. Lin Yi cant be dead. Go get a doctor, hurry and save him!
Leader, Lin Yi is already
The members of Team 3 understood Ning Ches sorrow. After all, at the base, she and Lin Yi were the closest.
But given his condition, what good would trying to save him do now?
Was Lin Yi dead?
The answer was undoubtedly yes, but someone needed to definitively convey this to Ning Che.
Among those present, only Song Jinmin had the authority to do so, but he silently smoked, saying nothing.
Go quickly! Hurry up and find a doctor!
Got it.
Third Brother, go and cooperate with them, Song Jinmin said in a low voice.
Got it.
Three of Spades responded and walked straight towards the members of Team 3-
She was a Caucasian woman in her mid-thirties. She used to be an excellent surgeon. When she was on a mission, in addition to taking onbat duties, treating the wounded was also her main task.
Buzz buzz buzz
Song Jinmins phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Qin Yingyue.
The moment he saw the phone number, Song Jinmins hand froze.
Just as he was about to press the answer button, his hand stopped.
Then, he put it aside and did not pick it up even as it rang.
Even he himself had notpletely epted this matter and did not know how to tell Qin Yingyue about it.
Chepopur wasnt big. In less than twenty minutes, Team 3 and Three of Spades brought the local doctor and the only ambnce over.
Seeing the river of blood in front of them, the doctors and nurses were terrified.
For a long time, Chepopur had been a small, peaceful city. There had never been war or riots. As far as he could remember, this was the first time.
This scene left them at a loss.
Three of Spades pointed at Lin Yi and said, Go save that person.
Her voice was low and emotionless.
She knew very well that Lin Yi no longer showed any vital signs.
She was only doing this tofort hisrades.
Okay, okay
The elderly doctor brought a few nurses and jogged towards Lin Yi, holding a portable device in his hand.
Seeing Lin Yis miserable state, the doctor and nurse frowned.
There was no hope of survival for someone who was so badly injured.
However, they did not dare to refuse. They were afraid that they would die by these peoples guns.
Madam, we have to save him. Please make way
Team Leader
The three of them walked up, trying to talk to Ning Che.
However, she acted as if she didnt hear anything. She hugged Lin Yi and didnt let go no matter what. She cried until her voice was hoarse.
Lets do it. Team Leader cant act in this state. We cant follow her orders anymore.
Team 3 forcefully pulled Ning Che away from Lin Yi and left the rest to the doctor.
Now, separate them.
The doctor instructed.
The nurses wore gloves and tried to separate Lin Yi and Zhou Liang, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldnt separate the two of them. It was as if they were stuck together.
Smack!
Not far away, Song Jinmin lit another cigarette. This was already his fifth cigarette.
He had already guessed the cause of Lin Yis death.
Perhaps it was because he wanted to protect the person below him that he ended up like this.
That was because he could not let go even if he died.
He sighed inwardly.
The body was already stiff, so how could they easily separate?
Chapter 1813: Helplessness
Chapter 1813: Helplessness
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Because Lin Yis body was already stiff, the doctor had no choice but to call the people from Team 3 to help him.
However, Lin Yi was hugging Zhao Liangs body too tightly and had used too much strength, causing his arm to fracture.
However, when they saw Zhou Liang, everyones expressions became even more miserable.
His injuries were even more terrifying than Lin Yis.
Song Jinmins eyes narrowed. No one knew what he was thinking.
After carrying the two of them onto the stretcher, the doctor did an ECG test on Lin Yi and found that there was no reaction.
He couldnt help but shake his head. Hes already dead. Theres nothing we can do.
When he spoke, the doctors tone was very calm and his expression was slightly sad.
The others reacted the same. This was the result they had expected. They just hoped that the professionals would announce it and provide Ning Che with an official exnation.
Impossible! Lin Yi cant be dead!
Ning Che rushed over and grabbed the doctors cor, shouting, Venttor, use all your equipment. Lin Yi cant die, hurry up!
Maam, I hope youre calm. Hes dead. You should trust my judgment.
Whack!
Ning Che pped the doctors face, and thetter fell to the ground.
A fiery red palm print appeared on his face.
Without any exnation, Ning Che took out the gun from behind her back and aimed it at the doctors head. Do as I say, or Ill shoot you!
Okay, okay, okay. Lets put him on the venttor now.
The old doctor stumbled up from the ground and instructed the nurse to put Lin Yi on a venttor.
Beep, beep, beep
Seconds ticked by. Nothing changed on the ECG machine.
However, no one cared about this anymore. The oue was already decided. Even if they used a venttor, it would be useless.
Beep, beep, beep
At that moment, there was a change in the venttor. The straight line suddenly pulsed.
There seemed to be a reaction!
This scene that made everyone present excited, especially Ning Che, whose body began to tremble.
He, hes not dead
Happiness appeared on everyones faces. If there was still a reaction from the ECG, it meant that Lin Yi was not dead yet!
However, only the Three of Spades and the old doctor remained cold and silent.
They seemed to be unaffected.
Whats going on? Song Jinmin asked softly.
Its amon phenomenon in medicine. The venttor drives the lungs to work forcefully, the Three of Spades said.
Its the venttor that keeps it that way. To put it bluntly, the person is already dead, and this is just an illusion.
I see. Song Jinmins eyes dimmed again. He touched his chin, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.
At this moment, the Queen of Spades walked over.
Did you find out the cause of death?
Song Jinmin flicked the cigarette ash and said.
His partner was shot. The two of them hid in a private hospital here. In the end, they were betrayed by the hospitals doctors. His partner was tortured. Lin Yi took Grillo and Roy hostage, but when he was leaving the city, an ident happened. The car overturned, and the explosives in the car exploded. Thats what happened.
Did the car fail?
I heard that someone fired in the dark and blew up the tires of the car, the Queen of Spades said.
And the main reason for the explosion didnt seem to be from the car flipping over. Someone fired another shot, which led to this oue.
Someone fired a gun?
Yes, thats the cause of all this, the Queen of Spades said.
Without those two shots, this might not have happened.
Song Jinmin pondered for a moment. Have you found out who fired the shots?
The Queen of Spades shook her head. They all said they didnt shoot. I killed two people to get them to make them reveal the shooter, but even then they didnt produce a culprit. I dont think it was one of them.
Then its someone else. Thats a little strange.
Indeed, the Queen of Spades said. But we need to find out who it was.
I dont think we can get anything from these people. Song Jinmin paused. Only ck Snake and the Meiguons here.
We rounded up the two groups of people, but we didnt find any ores. The Queen of Spades said.
Most of the main forces of this operation are still concentrated in Santos. They havent arrived yet.
After a few seconds of silence, Song Jinmin said,
Go to Panemter and settle the matters there.
What about ck Snake? the Queen of Spades asked. These people also need to be dealt with.
After Im done here, Ill personally make a trip to ck Snake.
Understood, the Queen of Spades said.
After arranging the rest of the mission, in addition to the Three of Spades, the Queen of Spades led the main unit and evacuated from Chepopur.
On the other side, Ning Che shouted loudly.
Quick, send him away and return to Huaxia now!
The members of Team 3 were all silent. There was no change in their expressions.
After seeing the changes in the ECG, they were indeed happy. They genuinely didnt want anything to happen to Lin Yi.
But after hearing the doctors exnation, they all understood what was going on.
Some of them had witnessed this before.
Family members were suddenly sent to the ICU for emergency treatment. In many cases, doctors would say that the patient no longer disyed any vital signs and relied solely on a venttor to maintain their vitality. If it was removed, the patient would immediately die.
Therefore, under such circumstances, they could dere that Team Leader Lin was dead.
However, none of them said anything. No matter what, they had to go back.
Instead of telling the team leader the truth, it was better to keep things as is for now.
She could no longer be provoked. She needed to slowly calm down.
After stepping on the cigarette butt in his hand, Song Jinmin stood up. However, he felt like his body was extremely heavy. It was as if there was a thousand pounds of weight on his legs.
Get the people and machines on the helicopter. Ill take you to the airport.
Faced with this powerful man, the members of Team 3 did not say anything.
Although they did not know the other partys background, they were certain that he was not a bad person. At the very least, he was on their side and would not do anything outrageous.
Thank you.
Song Jinmin nodded. Lets not talk about that. Lets get on the ne first.
Okay.
After more than half an hour of work, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang were sent to the ne.
Ning Che and a few female members stayed with him. The remaining male members retreated ording to their previous n.
More than an hourter, Song Jinmins helicopternded at the airport with a roar.
At this moment, Qiu Yukios Team 2 had already retreated and had been waiting here for a long time.
However, they were all tense; their nervous hearts could not calm down.
They all hoped that Lin Yi woulde back soon.
However, they were also afraid.
They were afraid that they would not be able to ept the oue.
Chapter 1814: Hero, Have a Safe Journey
Chapter 1814: Hero, Have a Safe Journey
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Other than the members of Team 1, Qiu Yukios Team 2 had also arrived.
The atmosphere at the airport was unbearably oppressive, the bright sunlight seemingly ying a tragic requiem.
Soon, a ck helicopter descended from the sky. Xiao Bing and the others, who had managed to remain calm, could no longer control their emotions at this moment.
Ignoring the powerful gusts from the rotors, they ran towards the helicopter.
When the cabin door opened, the Central Guard Brigade members were frozen in ce.
Time seemed to stand still, their hearts pounding like thunder.
On the helicopter, they saw two people lying on stretchers. One of them was covered with a white sheet, while Lin Yis body, though it had received initial treatment, was still covered in horrific wounds.
Team Leader!
Xiao Bings tears fell like rain as she copsed to the ground. She almost crawled into the ne.
Luo Qi and Yu Siyings condition was simr to Xiao Bings. Their faces were deathly pale, as if they were terminally ill.
Qiu Yuluo and Tao Cheng walked towards Lin Yi.
Looking at the cynical man lying motionless on the bed, their hearts felt like they had been stabbed by a knife.
They could imagine all sorts of things in this world.
But they couldnt believe that Lin Yi would die in such a way.
How did you die?!
Qiu Yuluo gripped the armrest of the foldable bed tightly.
You, if you get up and look at me again, I wont go against you anymore. If you leave, the Central Guards Brigade wont be the Central Guards Brigade anymore.
Team Leader
Tao Cheng stepped forward and tried to help Qiu Yuluo up.
However, he was also uneasy and could not exert any strength.
He couldnt watch this scene because he was the one who recruited Lin Yi back then.
Turning around, Tao Cheng lifted the white sheet and saw Zhou Liangs corpse. He could not control his emotions at this moment.
It was like a flood that had broken through a dam and was about to pour out.
Team Leader!
The three members surrounded the two bodies as they burst into tears.
No one could control their emotions. Their tears were unrestrained, and regret and self-me were written all over their faces.
If they had risked everything to save him back then, things might have been different.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
Sui Qiang pped himself a few times while the burly mans tears kept falling.
He med himself entirely for this.
Zhang Shuping and Chen Qingfeng, who were standing behind the crowd, were also in extreme pain when they saw this.
But there was nothing they could do.
Stop crying. The ECG is still showing that he has a heartbeat. Hes not dead. As long as he returns to Huaxia, he can be saved, Ning Che said loudly.
If anyone dared to say that Lin Yi was dead now, she would shoot them!
Now is not the time to cry. Bring him onto the ne and hurry back to Huaxia. Dont stay here, Song Jinmin said.
The men from Team 2 and Team 3 pulled the women away.
Just as Song Jinmin had said, now was not the time to cry. They needed to send him to Huaxia for further treatment.
Because they had received the notice in advance, the private ne was all prepped. In less than half an hour, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang were carried onto the ne.
Moreover, Zhang Shuping and Li Qingfeng had already prepared medical equipment to be used on the way back.
Zhang Shuping and Li Qingfeng saluted as they watched the ne take off on the runway.
Hero, have a safe journey
In the wee hours of the morning in Yanjing, the Wang familys vi was brightly lit.
Wang Tingshan, Chen Chufeng, Wang Mian, and Li Mi were all there.
Unlike the dull atmosphere from before, the atmosphere in the vi was quite cheerful this time. There were two bottles of red wine on the table. The three of them clinked sses from time to time, and the smiles on their faces never faded.
After so many days, the matter has finally been resolved, Wang Tingshan said as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
I guess Lin Yi wouldnt have thought that he would be blown up one day.
Wang Mianughed heartily. Finally, weve avenged ourselves. He still died at the hands of the Wang family.
After everything thats happened, I realized he earned Lu Beichens favor not just by luck. Even in such dire circumstances, bringing along a useless person and still escaping death shows he was the most promising young man Ive ever seen.
Yes indeed
Wang Tingshan sighed.
If it hadnt been for Chen Guanjies two additional shots, he might have actually escaped.
Thats true, but no matter what, this matter is now resolved satisfactorily. No one will stand in our way anymore, Wang Tingshan said.
Lu Beichen is old and probably doesnt have many years left. Once hes gone, it will be the Wang familys time to rise!
Dad, now that Lin Yi is dead, shouldnt we expose all the dirt about him too? Wang Mian suggested.
If you hadnt reminded me, I would have forgotten about that, Wang Tingshan said.
With this incident, once the news gets back home, he might be honored as a martyr. But when the truth about his double-dealinges out, his reputation will be utterly ruined. The more glorious his life was, the more miserable his death will be!
After saying that, Wang Shanshan looked at Li Mi and said,
Go and make arrangements for this. Tell Ji Qingyan about him and Liang Ruoxu. Then, publicize it online and try to create as much publicity as possible in the shortest time possible. When the Inte Surveince Bureau makes a move, this matter will be meaningless.
Understood. Ill make the arrangements now.
After receiving the mission, Li Mi turned around and walked out.
Wang Tingshan held his wine ss and stood in front of the window. He muttered to himself,
Lin Yi, Lin Yi, dont me me for being heartless. Who asked you to go against the Wang family? Power doesnt allow provocation.
Compared to the happy atmosphere of the Wang family, in the Central Guards Brigade base
There was dead silence.
Many peoples eyes were red, including Lu Beichens and Liu Hongs.
They didnt cry, but there were tears in their eyes.
This was because he had received a message from the front lines an hour ago.
Zhou Liang had died in the line of duty.
However, Lin Yi was relying on the venttor to maintain his vital signs.
However, from the information from Team 3, they knew that Lin Yi had actually died in the line of duty.
The reason why there was still a reaction was because of the illusion brought about by the venttor.
There was no pulse from the artery in his neck. Even his pupils had started to cloud.
It was impossible for him to survive.
The crying was intermittent. Some of the femalerades could not help but cry.
Before this, they had lost contact with Lin Yi for a hundred hours. In the end, they managed to contact him. After that, they were filled with confidence and waited for Lin Yi to send news over.
However, they never expected to hear such grievous news from him again.
It was too sudden and they were not prepared at all.
Even so, Liu Hong still gave the order to continue using the venttor to maintain Lin Yis vital signs.
No matter what, he had to see Lin Yi onest time.
Chapter 1815: Relationship Exposed
Chapter 1815: Rtionship Exposed
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
It was four in the morning in Zhonghai
Ji Qingyan woke up from her dream with a start, her forehead covered in a cold sweat.
After a few days, Ji Qingyan had lost a lot of weight. She had originally weighed about too pounds, but now, she had dropped to 80 pounds.
The moment Ji Qingyan woke up, He Yuanyuan, who was sleeping on the ground, also sat up.
For the past few days, He Yuanyuan had not gone anywhere. She had been staying at the Jiuzhou Pavilion to apany her.
Senior Sister, youve only slept for half an hour. Why are you awake again?
I cant sleep anymore. My head hurts terribly. Ji Qingyan massaged her temples as her brows knitted tightly together. I havent heard from him for so many days. I have a nagging feeling that something bad has happened.
Youre just imagining things. He Yuanyuanforted him.
Hes so powerful. What could happen to him? Even if something happens to everyone in the world, nothing would happen to him. Dont worry.
Then why hasnt there been any news for so many days?
Well
He Yuanyuan was at a loss for words and did not know how to exin this matter.
He might have been dyed by something else. He Yuanyuan said.
And think about it. There is a conflict over there, but it isnt directed at him. How could something have happened to him? You cant keep doing this.
Leave me alone.
Ji Qingyan held her forehead. Her face was haggard, and there were heavy dark circles under her eyes. She was apletely different person from the valiant female CEO she used to be.
He Yuanyuan got up helplessly. She went to the television cab on the first floor and took out the first aid kit.
She took out a piece of Dai Lixin and poured Ji Qingyan a ss of warm water.
If this continued, she would copse. Putting everything else aside, she had to ensure that she slept well.
After preparing the medicine and water, He Yuanyuan returned upstairs.
Senior Sister, take this medicine.
Ji Qingyan shook her head and pushed He Yuanyuan away. Anxiety and impatience were written all over her face.
He Yuanyuan saw this and her heart ached. These were early signs of depression.
But you cant stay like this. He Yuanyuan said anxiously.
He hasnte back yet, and youre already breaking down. Isnt that bad?
Its okay. I can still hold on.
She massaged her temples and pushed the cup away. Im going to go downstairs and sit for a while. I cant breathe if I stay in the house.
Alright, lets go. Lets walk around the courtyard.
He Yuanyuan helped Ji Qingyan out of bed, afraid that something would happen to her.
You dont have to do this. Im not a patient. Ji Qingyan forced a smile. Itll be fine.
Alright, I wont keep watching you anymore, but you have to be careful. He Yuanyuan said.
Ill get someone to send something over. You havent eaten much in the past few days. This definitely wont do.
Ji Qingyan did not say anything, but she really could not eat.
In a daze, the two of them went downstairs.
He Yuanyuan pulled open the curtains and opened the windows to ventte the vi in an attempt to improve Ji Qingyans condition.
ng! ng! ng!
Just as He Yuanyuan was drawing the curtains, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. The two of them looked at each other.
Ji Qingyan stood up excitedly. Lin Yis back! Unable to wait any longer, she stood up from the sofa and jogged to the door.
Sometimes, it might only take a few knocks to restore a persons vitality.
At the same time, He Yuanyuan walked to the door.
When she opened the door, she realized that there was no one outside.
Huh? Who knocked on the door? He Yuanyuan mumbled.
Where the hell are you? Whats going on? Why are you ying such tricks? Come out quickly.
He Yuanyuan knew Lin Yi well. She felt that he was the type to do something like this.
Stop the bickering. I dont think Lin Yi is back yet, Ji Qingyan said disappointedly. She then pointed at a thick folder on the floor. They left this at the door.
He Yuanyuan looked down and saw a kraft paper envelope on the ground. There seemed to be a lot of documents inside.
Who put it there?
Muttering under her breath, He Yuanyuan picked up the brown paper bag and closed the door. The two of them returned to the house.
Ji Qingyan was not interested in the contents of the brown paper bag. He Yuanyuan was the same. She threw it aside and observed Ji Qingyan.
It was past six in the morning when He Yuanyuans food arrived at the house. She then forced Ji Qingyan to eat a little.
Seeing that Ji Qingyan remained silent, He Yuanyuan had no other choice.
She was a typical science and engineering woman. She did not know how to take care of others at all. All she could do was stay here with her friend.
After cleaning up the dishes, He Yuanyuan noticed the brown paper envelope on the table. Since she had nothing to do, she opened it and was surprised to find dozens of photos inside.
The person in the photo was an intimate photo of Lin Yi and another woman!
Most importantly, she knew who the woman in the photo was!
Liang Ruoxu!
The secretary of Zhonghai!
He Yuanyuans heart was pounding. These photos were like bombshells to her.
She never dreamed that something like this would happen with Lin Yi.
Suddenly, He Yuanyuan realized that the situation was bad and quickly put away the photo.
With Senior Sisters current state, she would definitely break down if she saw these things!
However, things did not go as nned. Just as He Yuanyuan was packing up the photos, Ji Qingyan caught sight of them.
Dont move!
Ji Qingyan stopped He Yuanyuan and picked up the photo in the paper bag.
Although they did not have much interaction, as an entrepreneur of Zhonghai, she knew Liang Ruoxu.
Ji Qingyans body trembled violently.
She had never thought that Lin Yi would be with her!
Moreover, their actions were so intimate. Even a fool would not believe that there was nothing happening between the two of them.
Senior Sister, dont get agitated. There might be a misunderstanding. I think someone is deliberately defaming him.
This time, He Yuanyuan really panicked.
She had no idea how to handle this matter at all. This was well beyond her ability.
Ji Qingyan remained silent and stared at the photo for a long time.
Her emotions were calm, but her tears started falling.
Senior Sister
You can go back first. Dont worry about me.
How can I leave at a time like this? He Yuanyuan pped her thigh anxiously and cursed Lin Yis eighteen generations of ancestors in her heart.
Go back. Youve been with me for so many days. Go back and rest. I want to be alone for a while.
No, I definitely wont leave!
Go back!
He Yuanyuan was shocked. They had known each other for so many years, but this was the first time her senior sister had spoken to her in such a tone.
Senior Sister, I
Go back. I really want to be alone for a while.
Ji Qingyan held onto the stairs as she slowly made her way down.
Like a lonely ghost.
Looking at her back, He Yuanyuans heart ached, but she felt helpless!
B*stard scumbag, Ill chop you up!

After cursing, He Yuanyuan turned around and walked out of Vi No. 1.
Since Ji Qingyan had said those words, she could not stay here any longer.
Even if she didnt leave, Ji Qingyan would chase her out.
Moreover, after such a thing happened, there was no way she would want anyone else around.
Giving her a quiet environment to digest this matter might be the best solution.
After driving out of the vi, He Yuanyuan went to the security booth outside.
Although it was early, they had already started work.
When they saw He Yuanyuaning out, the security captain even greeted her warmly.
Brother Ma, theres something I need to trouble you with, He Yuanyuan said
to the security captain.
Alright, alright, alright. Tell me what you need.
The security captain was a very smart person. He knew that He Yuanyuan had a very good rtionship with the mistress and that they were close.
Moreover, all nine vis in Jiuzhou Pavilion belonged to Mr. Lin alone.
To a certain extent, he was Lin Yis personal security guard.
If her friend was in trouble, he would definitely help her deal with it.
I have something to do. Help me keep an eye on Vi No. 1 for now. From time to time, go over and see what my senior sister is doing. If anything happens, call me. This is my business card.
The security captain knew that the senior sister she was talking about should be the mistress of Jiuzhou Pavilion.
However, this request was a little strange.
You mean, you want us to keep an eye on what shes doing?
I didnt mean it that way. Anyway, just think of something. Just make sure shes safe. Shes been in a bad moodtely. Im afraid shes taking things too hard.
He Yuanyuan rummaged through her bag and fished out a few hundred yuan m cash.
Take this money and update me about her situation every half hour. Just make sure shes in the vi.
I understand what to do. The security captain quickly understood He Yuanyuans intentions and said enthusiastically,
I can help, but I cant take the money. Mr. Lin is usually quite good to us.
Helping you with a small favor is nothing.
Its fine. Just take the money.
He Yuanyuan stuffed the money into the security chiefs hands and drove away.
She still had a lot to do and didnt want to waste her time here.
More than 40 minutester, He Yuanyuan drove to Gubei No. 1.
As a mansion as famous as Tangchen First ss, countless celebrities and tycoons bought houses here.
It was also a gathering ce for countless paparazzi and fans.
Secondly, this was Gao Zongyuans home.
He Yuanyuan drove the car in and went up to the 16th floor. Then, she opened the door with her key and rushed in.
The moment she entered, she could hear Gao Zongyuan snoring.
He was half-naked and sleeping soundly on the bed.
He did not notice that someone had entered his home.
Sleep, sleep, sleep. Ill show you how to sleep!
He Yuanyuan kicked Gao Zongyuan.
With a thud, thetter fell to the ground and suddenly woke up. Just as he was about to curse, he realized that the person who kicked him was He Yuanyuan.
Whats going on? Why did you kick me?
It was said that every creature had its vanquisher. He Yuanyuan and Gao
Zongyuan were one such representation of this saying.
When facing outsiders, he was not afraid of anything. However, in front of He Yuanyuan, he was very timid.
He Yuanyuan didnt waste any time and threw the photo at Gao Zongyuans face.
Do you know about this?
What is it?
Gao Zongyuan muttered and picked up the photos scattered on the ground. His expression froze in an instant.
His mind was filled with one question.
Who the hell took these photos?
What kind of technique is this? The face is all distorted from Photoshop.
Distorted, my *ss!
He Yuanyuan stormed over, grabbed Gao Zongyuan by the ear, and lifted him
up.
Stop, stop, easy, it hurts.
Stop pretending! He Yuanyuan yelled.
You and your gang of cronies hang out together all the time. You dont know about his shady dealings?!
I really dont know. Ever since I got with you, Ive been clean.
Say that again, and Ill kick you.
Even if you kickme, I still dont know, Gao Zongyuan said, looking miserable.
When it came to Lin Yis matters, even Gao Zongyuan, Qin Han, and Liang Jinming werent very clear.
They only knew he was close to Liang Ruoxu, but they didnt know the exact nature of their rtionship.
But these photos were enough to indicate something.
Brother Lins secret dealings had been exposed.
Who the hell did this?
With Brother Lins skills, it wouldnt be possible for just anyone to take secret photos of him.
Could it have been Te?
That was not very likely.
Ring ring ring!
Just then, Gao Zongyuans phone rang. It was a WeChat video from Liang Jinming.
When he answered the call, he realized that it was a multi-person video video with Qin Han in it.
Wiry are you making video calls so early in the morning? I was sleeping, Qin Han narrowed his eyes and cursed.
Stop sleeping. Something bad has happened. Liang Jinming said with his arms crossed.
I posted a few videos in our four-person groups. Hurry up and take a look. Lets talk about itter. Im sleeping.
Why are you still sleeping? Something big is about to happen. Liang Jinming said.
The matter between Brother Lin and Secretary Liang has been exposed. When I woke up this morning to scroll through TikTok, I saw quite a few clips.
F*ck, is this for real?!
Qin Han sat up on the bed. He was suddenly energetic as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him.
What the f*ck is going on? Did Old Lin offend someone recently?
To the three of them, only Lin Yis enemies would do such a thing.
Weve lost contact with Brother Lin. How can he offend others? Liang Jinming said.
Besides, the matter with Te has already been settled. They wouldnt have nowe out to start showing off to Brother Lin.
Then who the f*ck did it? Qin Han said.
This person is quite bold. If I catch him, Ill kick his balls to pieces!
Thats not the point. We have to think of a way to suppress this matter. If President Ji finds out, the sky will copse.
Youre right. President Ji must not learn about this.
Qin Han looked at Gao Zongyuan and said seriously,
Old Gao, keep an eye on your He Yuanyuan. If she finds out about this, shell definitely tell President Ji.
As he spoke, Qin Han had already put on his clothes. Ill contact someone to settle this matter now. The two of you, stop dawdling. Hurry up and get up to work.
Brother Qin, dont waste your energy. Gao Zongyuan said helplessly.
How can I not? We have lost contact with Old Lin and such a big thing has happened. If the three of us dont help him settle it, how can we still call ourselves brothers?
Thats not what I meant. Gao Zongyuan scratched his head. Yuanyuan is right beside me, and she already knows about this.

Huh? She knows everything?
Qin Han and Liang Jinmings expressions were as ugly, as if they had eaten sh*t.
Gao Zongyuan pointed the camera at He Yuanyuan helplessly. Liang Jinming
probed,
Sister-inw, how did you learn about this?
Someone sent the photos to Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Huh? Someone sent the photos over?
Hearing this news, the three of them showed gloomy expressions.
This meant that someone was doing this on purpose to expose Lin Yi!
F*ck! Who the f*ck did this!
Liang Jinming was so angry that he kicked over the coffee table in the hotel. He even had the urge to kill someone.
Calm down first. Its useless to get angry, Qin Han said.
Now we have to figure out whos most likely to do this.
Te is the only one who has had a conflict with Brother Lin recently, Gao
Zongyuan said.
No. He Yuanyuan continued, Theres also a Huanghai Group from
Shianggang.
He Yuanyuan also hated Lin Yi deep inside.
If the other party had announced this matter at any other time, she would not have thought much of it. She even wanted to thank them.
But now, her senior sister was in her worst state, and such a thing had happened. She wanted to know who was behind this.
This was too despicable!
Ive heard a little about Huanghai Group. Qin Han analyzed.
They only had a conflict with Old Lin recently. Its unlikely that they would do
such a thing.
Based on what you said, I dont think Te would do it either, Gao Zongyuan
said.
Qin Han nodded and analyzed.
Its very likely that this was someone he offended previously, who had then been gathering dirt on him behind his back. Now that the time is right, that person is releasing these things.
Now, Brother Lin has gone to Panem and we havent been able to contact him. President Ji isnt in a good state either. Could the other party have intentionally chosen this time to announce these things? Liang Jinming said.
I hope not.
What do you mean?
Think about it. Were the only ones who know about the couple. Moreover, we dont know the details. If the other party did it on purpose, it means that they might know more about this than us. Then, they chose this moment to release the photos.
Qin Han smacked his lips. Think about it, how terrifying would that be?
They were initially fine, but after hearing Qin Hans exnation, they all found
it a little scary.
Compared to this possibility, everyone hoped that it was a coincidence.
Otherwise, it meant that the person who did this was not a simple person.
Now is not the time to discuss this. Lets go and see President Ji first. Gao
Zongyuan said.
She was not in a good state to begin with. If something really happens, how
are we going to exin to Brother Lin when hees back?
Lets go and change.
The three of them put on their clothes and drove towards the Jiuzhou Pavilion from different directions.
On her way back, He Yuanyuan received a few messages from the security captain.
Nothing untoward had happened. He imed that Ji Qingyan had been spacing out on the bench by the pool and did not do anything else.
About an hourter, everyone arrived at the Jiuzhou Pavilion one after another.
From afar, they could see Ji Qingyan in her pajamas. She was holding her head with one hand as she stared at the rippling water in the pool without moving.
Ms. He, since you left, President Ji has been sitting there for more than two hours. Is she you feeling depressed because of the pressure? The security captain said warmly.
Possibly.
He Yuanyuan then replied, Since were here, I wont trouble you to keep an eye
on things for us anymore. Thank you.
Its my duty, its my duty. If theres anything else, you can just look for me.
Alright, thanks for your hard work.
After saying goodbye, the security captain left.
The four of them found a bench and sat down one by one. Liang Jinming lit a cigarette with a frown.
Its been more than two hours. President Ji wont take things too hard, right? Nothing is certain. Qin Han said, I reckon this matter has dealt a huge blow to her.
How dare you say that?! He Yuanyuan said angrily.
You must have been involved in all the rotten things he did. You even helped
him hide it. None of you are good people.
After being scolded, Qin Han and Liang Jinming couldnt retort.
After all, she was not far from the truth.
Now that things havee to this, theres no point in talking about us. We still have to think of a way to solve the problem. Liang Jinming said.
Its all in front of us now. We cant solve the problem here. We have to wait for Brother Lin toe back, Gao Zongyuan said.
But the question is, where did he go? Qin Han asked.
Its been so long. Theres no news at all. This is not normal at all.
The few of them fell silent. Although the truth had been exposed, they were more concerned about Lin Yi.
Because all the spearheads in front of them pointed in a bad direction.
If he was really fine, with Lin Yis ability, he wouldnt be uncontactable for so long. He would have found a way to contact his family.
Hey, hey, hey, stop chattering. President Ji stood up!
The four of them hurriedly stood up and looked at Ji Qingyan, afraid that she would do something dangerous.
At the same time, Ji Qingyan, who had just stood up, also saw He Yuanyuan and the others.
Why are you all here?
Nothing much was happening, so we came over to visit.
He Yuanyuan walked in front while the three of them followed behind. They walked toward Ji Qingyan together.
However, they quickly realized that her chest was wet with her tears.
Im fine. Ji Qingyan replied nonchntly, Im going back to pack up and get ready for work.
To work?
Ive been stuck at home for a few days. If I dont go to thepany soon, there wont be anyone to take charge of the situation.
But you wont be able to go to work in your condition. Why dont you rest at home for a few days? He Yuanyuan said as she hooked her arm around Ji Qingyans.
Why cant I work? Its not like Ive just recovered from a serious illness.
Ji Qingyan lowered her head in a carefree manner.
However, the more she acted like this, the more worried they became. This was not an emotion that she should disy under normal circumstances.
Instead, they hoped that Ji Qingyan would return to the vi and smash everything inside.
This was the kind of emotion that anger should have. She shouldnt behave like this, where she didnt show any emotion.
Following her footsteps, they arrived at Vi No. 1.
Ji Qingyan made her way to the kitchen. There was still a lot of unfinished food that He Yuanyuan had ordered this morning, so Ji Qingyan decided to heat it up.
Seeing Ji Qingyan heating up her meal and especially noticing her slender, frail back, made their expressions even moreplicated and left a bitter taste in their hearts.
If eyes could show no sorrow, no one would believe in aging with grief. Although they were all brothers, in this matter, Lin Yi was indeed at fault.
President Ji was truly exceptional.

Zhonghai, Huashan Hospital, Miao Guofengs office.
Miao Guofeng, who was reading the first half of the hospitals financial report, received a call.
Leader.
Okay, okay, okay. Ill arrange it now.
After hanging up, Miao Guofeng became serious.
Then, he called Li Chuhan.
A few minutester, there was a knock on the office door. Li Chuhan came to Miao Guofengs office in a mess.
There were still traces of sweat on her forehead. Clearly, she had run over.
Director Miao, you were looking for me.
Go and get ready, thene with me.
Whats wrong? What happened?
Theres an injured person on the way to the country. The relevant leaders called me and asked you to participate in the rescue operation.
In reality, Li Chuhan and Miao Guofeng were not the only ones who were called out. Dozens of top surgeons in the country were all recruited.
Lu Beichen did not want to give up.
Li Chuhan nodded heavily. Can I bring Qiao Xin over?
Li Chuhan did not panic at all. She had encountered such a situation before and had some experience in this.
She wanted to bring Qiao Xin over because he wanted her to broaden her horizons and focus on nurturing her.
Thats not a problem. Anyway, hurry up. Ill go get my car now and wait for you at the Eighth Inpatient Department. Dont waste time.
Got it.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin moved fast.
After going back and arranging the cardiology department, the two of them changed their clothes and left the Eighth Inpatient Department together.
Director Miao, what happened? Why are they transferring all the doctors in the country to Yanjing?
Something must have happened to a big leader. I dont know the details. Well find out when we get there. Miao Guofeng said.
When you get there, dont say a thing. Just watch from the side and learn from this.
Got it.
Qiao Xin knew her own level. Sister Li was only bringing her there to grant her experience.
Sister Li, have you contacted Brother Lin recently?
Hes probably busy. I cant get through to him. Li Chuhan said, Do you need something from him?
Ive caught up to thetest episode of Conan. Its not like the hospital is very busy, so I wanted to ask him if there were any cases happening that I could help analyze.
If you have the time, read a few more papers. That would actually be useful for you.
Hehe, got it.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the airport and found that two other doctors had been recruited. Then, they took a military ne and flew to Yanjing together.
Two hourster, the nended at the airport.
There was a special car that came to pick up Li Chuhan and the others before rushing straight to Union Medical College Hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, they found dozens of doctors gathered on the 22nd floor of the Third Inpatient Department.
May I ask if Doctor Li Chuhan has arrived? The person who spoke was Taocheng.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she heard someone call her name. Li Chuhan instinctively raised her hand.
Im here.
Pleasee here.
The three of them walked over, still confused.
Taocheng asked this because he remembered her rtionship with Lin Yi.
He recalled that when Lin Yi was undergoing the trial in Yanjing, he hade with a woman called Li Chuhan.
So, when it came time to call in doctors, he thought of Li Chuhan and requested her.
If this woman had a connection to Lin Yi,bined with her qualifications, she had the right to be called in.
However, Li Chuhan felt a bit puzzled. She was confident in her skills but not arrogant.
The people present were all leaders in the medical field, and she knew her ce among them, often having to take a step back to them.
Even when treating patients, she would typically act as an assistant to them.
Now, being summoned with such fanfare felt somewhat inappropriate.
As she approached, Li Chuhan noticed that the man speaking looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldnt quite ce him.
However, his reddened eyes raised her suspicions.
Do we have to examine the patient now?
Tao Cheng didnt answer her question directly. Instead, he asked,
I want to ask, do you know President Lin of Lingyun Group?
Li Chuhan was surprised. Why was he asking about his rtionship with Lin Yi at a time like this?
It was very inappropriate.
Li Chuhan shook her head. He used to be the department director of the Cardiology Department at Huashan Hospital. We were colleagues for a period of time, so were not very close.
When it came to Lin Yi Li Chuhan didnt care about status. As long as she could see him asionally and talk to her, she would be satisfied.
She also knew that Lin Yi had a girlfriend, and her rtionship with him couldnt be exposed.
Therefore, she never admitted her rtionship with Lin Yi to outsiders.
She was afraid of getting him into trouble.
Since you know each other, lets go in and see if theres any way to save him.
Away to save him?
Li Chuhans heart skipped a beat.
What do you mean? This has something to do with Lin Yi?
Go in and take a look first.
Tao Cheng pointed to the resuscitation room not far away. Hes inside.
The resuscitation room here was equivalent to a small ICU room, but the equipment was more advanced andprehensive.
Li Chuhan staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Qiao Xin was there to support her.
Sister Li, calm down. We still dont know what happened. Lets go over and take a look.
Lets go.
Li Chuhan regained herposure and the three of them walked into the emergency room.
After changing clothes, Li Chuhan hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.
At the same time, more than ten doctors were gathered around a hospital bed on the innermost side.
Seeing Li Chuhan and Miao Guofeng enter, someone greeted them.
The person who spoke was Union Medicals vice president, Ma Renbo.
Back then, when Lin Yi was helping the poor in Dongsan County, he had asked him for help in order to improve the local medical infrastructure.
Old Miao, youre here.
Old Ma, what happened?
Ma Renbos expression wasnt very good as he sighed heavily.
I wont say anymore. Come and take a look.
Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin walked over first.
Brother Lin!
Seeing the injured Lin Yi, Qiao Xins tears flowed down her face.
Li Chuhans body went limp and he fell to the ground. She was helped up by a quick-witted nurse.
Wha-whats wrong with Lin Yi? Why is he so badly injured
Li Chuhan was on the verge of breaking down.
She was a doctor in the cardiology department. She had seen this scene too many times.
She didnt even need to check to know that Lin Yis breathing was being sustained by the venttor. He was already
When he was on a mission, in order to protect hisrades, he was injured by a bomb
Ma Renbo did not use sad words, as he did not want to worsen the situation.
Injured by a bomb
Li Chuhan trembled as he reached his hand in front of Lin Yis eyes and gently flipped it open.
At that moment, she saw thest thing she wanted to see.
His pupils were dted
Li Chuhan cked out and fainted.

At Liang Xianghes house in a certain ministryspound.
After returning to Yanjing, Liang Ruoxu nned to go home.
However, something happened in the morning that made Liang Ruoxu give up on going home.
Because her rtionship with Lin Yi had been exposed online.
Shen Shuyi was calm after hearing the news. She had known about this long ago, but she kept it to herself and waited for Lin Yi to deal with it himself.
However, she did not expect to be exposed at this juncture.
Shen Shuyi could smell a conspiracy here.
However, Liang Cunxiao and Liang Xianghe were furious about the situation. If it hadnt been for her grandmother, Yang Yuhua, protecting her, she would have faced a severe scolding!
Despite their anger, the Liang family mobilized all their resources to suppress the incident swiftly.
Now, relevant information could already be found online.
In Shen Shuyis view, the other partys actions were merely to upset the Liang family.
The incident could only spread within a limited scope.
The Liang family held significant influence in the media industry. Not only mainstream media but even online self-media dared not say much.
Moreover, for paparazzi and self-media, reporting on celebrity gossip was far more meaningful than this.
For the wealthy, such scandals weremonce, generally epted as normal.
Thus, this matter didnt cause widespread online dissemination.
The Wang family had two objectives in doing this.
The first was to let Ji Qingyan know about it, and the second was to upset the
Liang family.
Once news of Lin Yis death returned, he would surely be posthumously honored as a martyr. At that point, this information would resurface online.
This way, Lin Yis reputation would be utterly ruined!
Why are you frowning? You havent eaten for a day.
Yang Yuhua served the dishes and ced them in front of Liang Ruoxu.
Im not hungry. I wont eat for now, Liang Ruoxu said listlessly.
Liang Ruoxu didnt care if her rtionship with Lin Yi was exposed.
She had thought about this a long time ago and was already prepared for the
worst.
But after so many days, there was still no news of Lin Yi. Her heart was still in
her throat.
Look at the time. You only had some porridge in the morning. If you dont eat for the whole day, your stomach wont be able to take it. Yang Yuhua advised earnestly.
You dont have to worry about your father and grandfather either. As long as
Im alive, Id like to see who dares to criticize you.
Yang Yuhua had always been like this. She would not reason with Liang Ruoxu but would also not side with her for no reason.
I didnt even think about them.
Liang Ruoxu had also given up. Although it had greatly affected her reputation, site had no time to care about it.
After losing contact for such a long time, who wouldnt be worried?
In this situation, its useless even if youre worried. You still have to eat. Yang Yuhua said.
There might be news at some point. Although Ive never seen what he looks like, Im sure you wont be wrong about a young man who caught your eye.
Liang Ruoxu tilted his head and looked at Yang Yuhua. Grandma, arent you angry with me?
Wiry would I be angry?
This is a disgrace to the Liang family.
Family reputation? Were just ordinary people, what family reputation do we have? Do you really thinkyoure royalty? Yang Yuhua scoffed.
Your grandfather was a peasant, eating cornmeal every day as a child. Nowadays, thats just pig feed. If your great-grandfather hadnt taken pity on him and brought him home to help out, he might have starved to death. There would have been no chance for him to go to war.
Seeing Yang Yuhuas dismissive expression, Liang Ruoxu smiled. She loved hearing her elders stories from the past.
If my grandfather heard this, he would definitely be upset.
Why would he be upset? Im already being subtle. The real situation was even worse, Yang Yuhua said.
And I just cant stand all this nonsense about family rules and reputation. Its something the rich fuss over, making a big deal out of nothing.
But I still feel a bit sorry for the Liang family. My mom, dad, and grandfather
are all respectable people. People willugh at them.
Theres nothing to be sorry about. Yang Yuhua held Liang Ruoxus hand, stroking it repeatedly, as if she couldnt get enough. She spoke meaningfully.
In this world, whats the most important thing? Money, of course. If you cant eat, you lose your life, and nothing else matters.
But when you have enough money, whats the most important thing? It s definitely feelings.
Look at your parents. With their status, young men and women would love to attach themselves to them. But all these years, theyve done well, never betraying each other. Without genuine feelings, they couldnt have done that.
But Im not as good as them.
Why not? Its fine as long as you think this rtionship is real.
Yang Yuhua said nonchntly,
Outstanding people are always attractive. You just have to think that youre right. Many yearster, you can pat your chest and say that you dont regret it. This is good enough.
Yang Yuhua said earnestly, Sometimes, you cant overthink it. If you think too much, you wont be able to do anything. Life onlysts a few decades. As long as you livefortably and can be good to yourself, its fine. Theres nothing wrong with being a little selfish.
Grandma, youre too open-minded. Im not as good as you.
Ive got one foot in the grave already, and Ivee to see things more clearly. People arent machines. They spend their lives rushing around, and when they get old, they feel like theyve let themselves down. Whats the point of all that hustle and bustle? Its just for somefort in life.
Liang Ruoxu nodded, somewhat understanding but not fully grasping the concept yet.
Your grandfather, your father, even your mother, theyre all constantly busy. What are they striving for? A good life? Definitely not. The Liang family has enough money tost several lifetimes. Its their desires pushing them forward. So dont follow their example. Do what makes you happy. In a few decades, well all be dust. The most important thing is to enjoy life while you can.
Yang Yuhuas open-mindedness enlightened Liang Ruoxu.
He realized that his grandmother was the one in the Liang family who truly understood life the best.
Got it, Grandma. I know what to do now.
Good. As long as you understand. Now, finish your meal, Yang Yuhua said, standing up.
I bought a watermelon this morning. Its really sweet. Ill cut some for you. No need, Grandma. Dont trouble yourself. Just sit with me for a while. I want to talk to you.
Alright, alright. Lets chat for a bit. Who knows when you 11 be back once you leave?
Ring ring ring
At this moment, Liang Ruoxus phone rang. It was a call from Shen Shuyi.
Liang Ruoxu pursed his lips. Grandma, pick it up. Shes probably calling me at this time to scold me.
She wouldnt dare. Yang Yuhua picked up the phone and turned on loudspeaker.
What is it? What is it? Yang Yuhua asked.
Mom, wheres Little Mi?
Shes eating next to me.
Put her on.
Go ahead. She can hear you.
Ask her toe to Room 2208 of the Third Inpatient Department of Union
Medical Hospital
Before Shen Shuyi could finish, she paused for a few seconds. Something happened to Lin Yi.
Chapter 1820: Lin Yi’s News
Chapter 1820: Lin Yis News
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Shen Shuyis words stunned Liang Ruoxu.
Did something happen to Lin Yi?
What happened?
If something ordinary happened to someone like him, it wouldnt be a problem at all
Ding, ding, dang, dang!
The spoon in her hand fell to the ground. What, what happened
On the other end of the phone, Shen Shuyi fell silent. After a long time, she said,
I cant exin it over the phone. Come over and take a look.
1-111 go over now!
Liang Ruoxu suddenly stood up, put on her shoes, and left the house. She did not even care about her haggard makeup.
On the streets of Yanjing, the traffic was surging. Liang Ruoxu overtook cars one after another. She didnt even bother with the red light. In less than half an hour, she drove to the hospital and rushed to the third inpatient department as if her life depended on it.
On the elevator, Liang Ruoxus expression was extremely grim.
She was extremely frustrated. When she heard the people in the elevator talking about family matters, she even wanted to scold them.
This short one minute was iparably long for her.
The 22nd floor of Union Medical Hospital was a high-security area. It was not a ce where one could stay just because they had money.
The people who could be hospitalized here had illustrious statuses that ordinary people could notpare to.
After exiting the elevator, Liang Ruoxu stopped in her tracks.
She saw arge group of people standing outside Room 2208, almost all of them from the military.
There was also the sound of uncontroble crying.
On the chair next to the ward, Shen Shuyi lowered her head and held her head, as if she was bent over from fatigue.
The entire floor was enveloped in an oppressive atmosphere. Even breathing became difficult.
Hearing the sound of the elevator door opening, Shen Shuyi turned her head and saw Liang Ruoxu. She immediately stood up.
Mom, what happened?
Shen Shuyis eyes reddened. Go in and take a look.
Liang Ruoxus expression froze.
There seemed to be a weight of 500 kilograms bound to her legs at this moment.
The people surrounding the ward all moved to the side, making way for Liang Ruoxu.
Step by step, Liang Ruoxu moved closer.
However, the scene in the ward was like a pair ofrge cursed hands that were gripping her neck, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
She saw someone lying on the bed. He was covered in wounds and had a venttor attached to his face. He was motionless.
There was no reaction at all.
Lin Lin Yi
Stumbling, Liang Ruoxu rushed towards Lin Yi. Shey in front of the bed and looked at the man who had scared her so badly.
She thought that even though they had lost contact, Lin Yi would send her a message at some point.
However, she did not expect to find him in this condition.
Lin Lin Yi
Liang Ruoxus hand trembled as she reached out to Lin Yis face, but she realized that there was no warmth to his body at all. He was like a block of ice.
Hows the situation now? Is his life in danger? Hurry up and treat him. What are you waiting for?!
Liang Ruoxu had lost all rationality and could not control her emotions.
Even though powerful people like Lu Beichen and Yang Guangxia were here, she did not hold back.
Liang Xianghe walked in and forcefully pulled Liang Ruoxu up.
Little Mi, calm down. Get up quickly.
Dad, tell me, is Lin Yi seriously injured? When will he wake up?
Well
Facing such a situation, he didnt know what to say. He gritted his teeth and said,
Lin Yi was sent here an hour ago. When he came back from Panem, he was already dead. He was a martyr.
Ma, martyr
Liang Ruoxu was dumbfounded, Impossible, how could Lin Yi die? His heart is still beating!
Thats an illusion created by the venttor. His pupils have already dited. The reason why we are keeping him like this is because I want the rtives here to see him onest time.
Onest time
Liang Ruoxu mumbled to himself as her vision darkened and she fainted.
Doctor! Nurse!
The doctor in the ward rushed over and took Liang Ruoxu from Liang Xianghes hands.
Its fine. Just rest well.
After Liang Ruoxu was taken away, the room fell silent.
Does Lin Yi have any other rtives? Lu Beichen asked.
His foster parents are in Yangcheng, and his
Halfway through his sentence, Tao Cheng wanted to say something but hesitated. Because the rtionship between the three of them had been exposed, and Liang Xianghe and Shen Shuyi were here, he did not say her name out loud.
That person is also in Zhonghai.
Inform them to send someone over. Inform everyone that can be informed. Dont leave any regrets for his family. Lu Beichen paused. Dont be too direct on the phone. We can always talk here.
Understood.
Tao Cheng walked out of the ward, preparing to inform Lin Yis rtives and friends.
During the day, Ji Qingyan had a simple meal before heading to work.
He Yuanyuan wanted to apany her, but she was chased away by Ji Qingyan.
Faced with Ji Qingyans unyielding attitude, He Yuanyuan did not force her to stay.
She knew Ji Qingyan very well and knew that she was a reasonable person. No one could persuade her otherwise.
She might as well give her a quiet space to slowly digest this matter.
As long as she didntmit suicide, things would be fine.
But one thing was certain.
It was already toote to save things between her and Lin Yi.
At four oclock in the evening, Qin Han and the others gathered at Chaoyang Groups building, but no one went up.
They found an outdoor barbecue stall. While having dinner, they could also keep an eye on her.
Although the quality of the roasted meat was very ordinary, the four of them ate silently. They did not say anything about the dishes and were not in the mood to care about these things.
Are we going to stay here? Arent we going up to check on her? Liang Jinming asked.
Its useless to go up. What can we say? Gao Zongyuan said.
Yuanyuan has already contacted President Jis secretary who has been keeping an eye on her. She even had a few meetings. There doesnt seem to be any problems.
F*ck. Qin Han cursed. Where did Old Lin go? Its been so many days, and theres no news at all.
Sigh
Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan sighed in unison, not knowing how to evaluate this matter.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Gao Zongyuans phone rang.
Qin Han and Liang Jinming looked over in unison.
Theres nothing, you two. My secretary called.
The two of them turned away, not interested at all.
What is it?
President Gao, do you know someone named Qiao Xin?
Qiao Xin? Gao Zongyuan muttered. She sounds a little familiar, but I cant remember who she is.
She said that shes a doctor from Huashan Hospital, a former colleague of President Lin. She called thepany and said that she previously had a meal with you. She also said that she knows where President Lin is..

After the secretarys reminder, Gao Zongyuan finally remembered who Qiao Xin was.
Previously, Lin Yi had brought him out to sea with the doctors and female nurses from the hospital.
Back then, he seemed to have had a good time with this female doctor called Qiao Xin.
Most importantly, she knew where Brother Lin was!
Come on, give me her number.
Ill send it to your phone now.
Hurry up.
Gao Zongyuan hung up the phone, and the other three peoples gazes fell on him.
What happened? Why are you so agitated? Liang Jinming asked.
Didnt Brother Lin work at Huashan Hospital before? 1 know a colleague of his. She called me and said that she knows where Brother Lin is.
Holysh*t!
Liang Qiming cursed excitedly, Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and call back.
Dont worry, the secretary is sending her number over.
The reason why Qiao Xin wanted to call Gao Zongyuan was because Lin Yi had mentioned them many times when they were at work. He said that they were very close, like biological brothers.
She felt that she had to tell Gao Zongyuan about this.
However, because she did not have Gao Zongyuans contact information, she tossed and turned before eventually finding thepanys contact information online.
As he spoke, Gao Zongyuan received a WeChat message. It was a phone number.
Without thinking, Gao Zongyuan dialed the number and opened the loudspeaker function.
Hello? Is this Qiao Xin?
Its me. Are you Brother Gao?
Its me, its me, Gao Zongyuan answered hurriedly. Where is Brother Lin now?
I heard Brother Lin mention you guys before. He said that theres also someone called Qin Han and Liang Jinming. The four of you have a very good rtionship, right?
Thats for sure. Were like biological brothers. Theyre right beside me. Brother Lin has been missing for so long. Where did he go? Weve been looking for him like crazy.
Hes at the Union Medical Hospital in Yanjing. If its convenient, can youe over?
Alright, alright, alright. Well go over now. Lets contact each other by phone. Call me when you get there.
Thank you, sister. Ill arrange a meal for youter.
No need. If youre not busy, hurry up ande over.
Okay.
After Gao Zongyuan hung up, the few of them heaved a sigh of relief.
F*ck, why did he go to Yanjing? Qin Han scolded. I was so f*cking worried, but hes so carefree.
Dont say that. Brother Lins technique is top-notch. Hes probably operating on a certain chief. Otherwise, he wouldnt have asked us go to Yanjing.
Thats possible. Gao Zongyuan lit a cigarette and felt much more rxed.
Lets not waste time here. She called to ask us to go over. 1 think theres something else to this matter. Lets go.
Wait a moment, 111 give Senior Sister a call.
He Yuanyuan took out her phone and dialed Ji Qingyans number.
Youve already called me eight times today. Why do you miss me so much?
I have a meetingter and need to prepare some information. I wont talk to you for now.
Senior Sister, wait. Dont hang up yet. He Yuanyuan stopped Ji Qingyan. However, she swallowed the words that were about toe out of her mouth. She did not know how to say this.
Whats wrong? Is there anything else?
Well
He Yuanyuans expression was conflicted. She stammered and finally made up her mind.
Hes in Yanjing. Do you want to go over?
He Yuanyuan did not mention his name. She knew that Ji Qingyan could understand who she was referring to.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
He Yuanyuan heard Ji Qingyans panting. It was a long time before she heard her answer.
1 wont be going. I still have something to do.
This is such a big incident, I think its better to rify it in person. He Yuanyuan said.
No matter what, the two of you have been together for more than two years.
You cant act like this.
Its not a big deal. Theres no need to go overboard. In todays society, such things are not new. You dont have to worry about me.
Ji Qingyan paused for a few seconds before saying, If possible, help me send him a message. Im not a petty person. I dont want to be enemies with him.
Uh-huh.
I have a meeting. Im hanging up.
The moment she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
He Yuanyuan remained silent. She knew that if she said another word, her senior sister would break down.
However, what she didnt know was that when Ji Qingyan found out about Lin Yi, her tears couldnt stop flowing.
Lets go. Senior Sister isnt going. Lets go over.
Sister-inw, such a big thing has happened. You should stay here with President Ji. 111 be worried if theres no one here with us.
Liang Jinming did not want to bring He Yuanyuan along.
Qin Han and Gao Zongyuan shared the same thoughts.
No matter what, the four of them were in cahoots. If they had anything to say, they could talk openly.
However, if He Yuanyuan went, there were some things that could not be said.
No, I have to go! He Yuanyuan said coldly, I have to p him in the face!
Chaoyang Group.
ng! ng! ng!
There was a knock on her office door. Her secretary stood outside and said, President Ji, the strategic meeting for the new project has already begun. The executives are all waiting for you to go over.
I ell everyone that this will be canceled. We wont be opening it for now.
Okay.
The secretary responded but did not leave. President Ji, Chef Li from the canteen has prepared braised cod and honey steak. Ill get you a serving. You havent eaten all day.
Well talk about itter. Theres no hurry. You can leave first.
Got it.
After the secretary left, Ji Qingyan leaned against the table as tears streamed down her face uncontrobly.
She didnt know why, but whenever she heard that name, her heart would be in
a mess, and she couldnt stop crying.
Throughout the day, Ji Qingyan had been thinking about many things.
The first time they spoke.
Her first time riding in his car.
The first time she had eaten his cooking.
The first time she went to Disnend with him in Meiguo.
Numerous firsts shed before her eyes like fleeting shadows.
Perhaps she was too willful and clingy.
She regretted not cherishing the past two years.
She had relied on him but never thought to give him a warm embrace in return.
She realized she had been too selfish, wanting more of his love but not giving him enough of hers.
If she had the chance to say something to him again, she would want to apologize and thank him for his patience and protection.
Unfortunately, she hadnt ovee that mountain, unable to let everyone hear their story.
She hadnt had the chance to say goodbye before everything came to an abrupt end.
Ji Qingyan tightly clenched her hands, crying even harder.
She still couldnt let go. Over two years, she wanted to walk away gracefully, as if nothing had happened.
But life moves on year after year, and who can im it fades like smoke?

Time passed like water. No one knew how many tears Ji Qingyan had shed nor how conflicted she was.
At night, the lights in Zhonghai had startedto on, and the pedestrians were in a hurry.
Humans sorrow, joy, love, and hatred were not interlinked. No one knew that there was a lonely soul hidden in this building.
ng! ng! ng!
Just as she was about to get back to work, there was another knock on the office door.
Mr. Ji, two officers are looking for you.
Officer?
Ji Qingyan was stunned for a moment. She had never interacted with anyone in
this circle, so why were they looking for her?
Come in.
The office door was pushed open and the secretary walked in with two people in military uniforms.
Ji Qingyan quickly stood up and weed the two of them to the sofa.
We wont be sitting, one of them said. We would like to ask, are you Madam
Ji Qingyan?
Iain.
Were from the Zhonghai garrison. Were here today to inform you of
something, the military said.
Mr. Lin is in Yanjing. He wants you toe over.
He wants me toe over?
Ji Qingyans heart skipped a beat.
Lin Yis name was taboo to her. No one could mention it.
Yes, I hope you cane over.
Ji Qingyan shook her head lightly. I have other matters to attend to. Lets not
talk about it now. I dont have time to go over.
The two of them looked at each other. From the information they were given, the woman in front of them was Mr. Lins girlfriend.
Even if she did not say anything, she should not show such a cold attitude, right?
Our orders are to bring you to Yanjing. We dont know anything else and cant tell you much.
Ji Qingyan shook her head again. Im sorry. I really have a lot of things to do and cant rush over. Besides, weve already broken up. Theres no need for you to look for me for anything regarding him.
Broke up
Upon hearing this news, the female secretary and the two officers were
extremely surprised.
This was something they had not expected.
Alright then. Since youre unwilling to go over, we wont force you. Sorry to disturb you.
Its alright. Thank you for your hard work.
After the exchange, the female secretary sent the two of them out.
There was an off-road vehicle with ck words on a white background parked downstairs of Chaoyang Group. Gao Chong sat in the passenger seat, rubbing his temples anxiously with a pained expression.
Originally, he wanted to go up, but in the end, he stayed in the car.
He and Mo Hongshan had been in charge of protecting Ji Qingyan for a long time, so they knew how much Lin Yi valued her.
However, after what had happened, he did not dare to face Ji Qingyan, so he simply sent his tworades up.
At this moment, two officers walked out of the building and got into the car.
Isnt she in the office?
Seeing that only two people hade out, Gao Chong asked.
President Ji is in thepany, but shes unwilling to go.
Huh? She doesnt want to go?
Gao Chong didnt have the habit of using TikTok, and the incident was quickly erased by the Liang Family. He didnt know that Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxus rtionship had been exposed.
President Ji said that the two of them have already broken up and this doesnt
matter to her, so she wont go.
Broke up
Upon hearing this news, Mo Hongshan was stunned for a while.
This was something he had never expected.
Did you guys try to persuade her?
I tried to persuade her, but she didnt balk at all. We could not say anything else.
Alright, since theyve already broken up. Theres nothing else to say.
Brother Gao, do you want to go back to the garrison for dinner or eat outside? Im not going anywhere. Send me to the airport. Im going to Yanjing. Okay.
Inside the office, Ji Qingyan stood on the rooftop. The cars below her were as tiny as ants.
From such a high position, it was impossible to distinguish the people and things below.
However, ever since the two of them left, Ji Qingyan had been standing there.
No one knew what she was looking at.
Wearily, Ji Qingyan sat on the sofa with her head lowered. Her long hair was scattered as it covered her beautiful face.
Her pain and inner turmoil had reached an unbearable level.
It felt as if even the air around her weighed a thousand pounds, making it hard to breathe and even suffocating.
As night deepened, darkness enveloped the entire Zhonghai.
This bustling city, with its ever-changing dynamics, revealed its vibrant and colorful side.
It was like a shy young girl shedding her innocence, transforming into a charming and graceful woman.
Amid theughter and joy, the city offered everyone uninhibited pleasure.
But none of this mattered to Ji Qingyan.
Loneliness and helplessness made her feel out of ce with the beautiful night, as if she were an unnecessary figure Photoshopped into the scene.
She felt out of ce.
The lights in the Chaoyang Group building gradually dimmed as colleagues who had been workingte left thepany one by one, leaving only one light on the top floor.
ng! ng! ng!
There was a knock on the office door as the secretarys voice came from outside.
President Ji, its already past eight in the evening. Are you working overtime?
I still have a few documents to finish. Ill leaveter.
But its already past eight. You havent eaten much all day. If this continues,
your body wont be able to take it.
Dont worry about me. Its gettingte. You should go back first.
President Ji, I bought something for you and put it at the door for you. Eat some or youll starve to death.
Ji Qingyan did not respond. She did not want to say a word now.
She just wanted to be alone for a while.
The secretary sighed inwardly. She had been by Ji Qingyans side for many
years, but this was the first time she had seen her like this.
However, she had no choice. After what had happened, she could only slowly digest it herself. No one else could help.
Ring ring ring!
After an unknown period of time, her phone rang and broke the silence in the office.
It was as if a huge ck curtain had been torn open without warning, pulling Ji
Qingyan back to reality. A world she was unwilling to face.
When she saw the number on her phone, she realized that it was He Yuanyuan.
She covered her face with her hands and declined the call.
She didnt want to talk now, nor did she want to listen to anyone else.
She didnt want to hear any sound. She just wanted to stay here quietly.
Trying to escape from this world in such a way.
The endless night could always drag her into her memories. She did not dare to go back, nor did she dare to think about it again.
She could only escape.
However, just as the call was declined, the phone rang again.
This time, Ji Qingyan did not decline. Instead, she picked up the call.
However, the sound of He Yuanyuan crying could be heard from the other side. Senior Sister
He Yuanyuan was sobbing uncontrobly, as if the sky was falling.
Ji Qingyan panicked. She did not understand why He Yuanyuan was like this.
What happened? Why are you crying?
You, need toe to Yanjing
He Yuanyuan cried even louder. Come and see him onest time.

Flip plip plip
Ji Qingyans tears fell onto the paper.
The handwriting on it was crooked, and traces of blood could be seen on the
paper.
He had left it there when he wrote the letter.
However, Ji Qingyan was more concerned about the tone of the letter. It waspletely different from Lin Yis usual self.
It was more like an extremely serious farewell.
At that time, he had already expected such an oue. Otherwise, he would not have written such a letter and left behind such words.
Senior Sister, dont cry. The dead cant be resurrected. This cant be changed.
Tao Cheng was upset, but he still walked over and said to Ji Qingyan,
Well help you arrange the transfer of Lingyun Group. Sister, dont worry.
I dont want these things
Her eyes were lifeless as she shook her head.
I just want to know what happened and why he came back like this after a
trip.
We are from a secret military unit belonging to Huaxia. Lin Yi is one of us. When he was on a business trip to Panem, he encountered an urgent mission. He and another team member died on the mission.
Secret military unit
Yes, Tao Cheng said.
But he never told me that before.
The missions we carry out are all very dangerous. He was afraid that you would be worried, so he didnt tell you. I hope you can understand.
Understood
Ji Qingyan looked at Tao Cheng, and thetter subconsciously took a step back.
He was afraid to look her in the eye.
It was pure fear.
Hes dead! How do you expect me to understand?!
Ji Qingyan suddenly raised her voice. Unable to control her emotions, she questioned loudly.
Why did you let him go on that mission?! Hes just an ordinary person! You re too selfish!
Ji Qingyan grabbed Tao Chengs cor and berated him loudly!
Tao Cheng did not move. He understood that the woman in front of him needed a way to vent.
If it would calm her down, it wouldnt hurt to let her beat him up a little.
We were negligent in this matter. It was our fault for not being able to provide support in time.
I dont want you to say this! Ji Qingyan roared. Return Lin Yi to me! Return him to me!
Im sorry
You, what right do you have to make Lin Yi do such a thing?!
Ji Qingyan was on the verge of breaking down. Even though a few hours had passed, she could not ept such a thing.
Senior Sister, calm down.
He Yuanyuan helped Ji Qingyan up. This was his own choice. We cant me this man.
Ji Qingyan grabbed the corner of He Yuanyuans shirt tightly. The person who had supported her and led a carefree life hadpletely disappeared.
Her mental world had long since shattered, like a child abandoned by the entire world.
He Yuanyuan held Ji Qingyan, not knowing what else to do, so she simply cried with her.
Hurry, get her back to the ward.
The on-duty doctor rushed over. If she doesnt stabilize, the mental stress
could cause irreversible damage.
The doctor quickly administered a sedative to Ji Qingyan.
Soon, her emotions calmed, and shey down, falling into a deep sleep.
Those in the room couldnt bear to see her like this, especially Xiao Bing.
She had met Ji Qingyan before and knew what she used to be like.
A woman who embodied beauty and elegance, but now all those nearly perfect qualities had disappeared.
She even looked somewhat disheveled.
The deeper the love, the more devastating the copse.
In a ward at the end of the hallway, Qiao Xin stood by the window, listening to
the cries from afar, silently wiping away her tears.
The sounds from the ward twisted her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Part of it was because of Lin Yi.
For a long time, he had been taking care of her like a big brother. If not for him, she would not have stayed in Huashan Hospital.
And now, he had actually left in such a manner.
She could not ept such a thing for some time.
Another part of her heart ached for Li Chuhan.
Her heart was bitter, but she did not even have the right to cry for him. She
could only hide in the ward and quietly wipe her tears.
No one knew about Li Chuhans suffering.
Lin Yi was her only spiritual pir and her only family in this world.
Now that Lin Yi was gone, Li Chuhans world was shattered.
No one could rece Lin Yi in her heart.
She sat silently on the hospital bed, not moving or saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking, as if she had be one with the dark room.
It was as if nothing the world had anything to do with her.
Lin Yis ward was extremely quiet.
The people inside seemed to have lost their direction in life at this moment.
They did not know what to do next.
Lets all go out. Dont stay here. Tao Cheng said.
At this point, theres no point in standing guard here.
After a few seconds of silence, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che walked out one after another, followed by Qin Han and the others.
But Liang Ruoxu didnt leave. She stayed by Lin Yis bedside, staring at him without moving.
She acted like he was still there, her eyes filled with tenderness.
You really are something else, even in death you wont let people have peace.
Liang Ruoxu said softly, gently stroking Lin Yis hand, her eyes carrying the innocence of a little girl.
When you used to see me, you couldnt stop talking. Why are you so quiet now? If you have the guts, sit up and tell me what you want to do. Ill agree to anything you say. This is your only chance. If you miss it, there wont be another.
The most annoying thing about you is how you flirt and then leave. Now that Im giving you a chance, theres still no reaction. Not manly at all, hmph. Lightly, Liang Ruoxu caressed Lin Yis hand, tilting her head back to keep the tears from falling.
Ive decided. Once everything is settled tomorrow, Im going to resign. I 11 travel the world, explore different ces. As for your ashes, Ill take a bit with me. If anyone objects, Ill just take them secretly. One way or another, Ill have some.
But dont worry. No matter what, you are still the president of Lingyun Group. Ill make sure your send-off is grand. And given your wandering eye, Ill burn extra paper figurines for you, so you can havepany
Mid-sentence, Liang Ruoxus carefully restrained emotions snapped like a broken string, and she could no longer hold back.
Leaving like this, I truly feel so much regret. Liang Ruoxu sighed.
You always said I wasnt gentle. I was thinking of changing that, to make myself seem more womanly. But now that youre like this, even if I be gentle, you wont see it.
Liang Ruoxu wiped away her tears and whispered into Lin Yis ear.
Perhaps this was thest bit of gentleness she left for Lin Yi.

Outside the ward, Qin Han and the others lit a cigarette and handed one to Tao Cheng.
ording to the rules, smoking was not allowed.
However, at this special moment, coupled with the fact that there were not many people here, the doctor did not care so much C not that he dared to.
However, he was very curious about the background of the young man who had sacrificed himself. He had actually alerted so many people.
What mission was he on? Qin Han asked with a gloomy face.
Im sorry. Its a rule. We cant talk about it.
Is it someone from abroad?
Yes.
Do you know which organization?
Sorry, we cant say that either.
You cant say this, and you cant say that. You have to give us some clues, Qin Han said, trying to control his anger.
If it werent Tao Cheng standing opposite him, he might have pped him by now.
This isnt something ordinary people can handle, Tao Cheng said.
But rest assured, we will avenge them. We wont let those people get away withit!
You probably know our identities, and were not as capable as Old Lin. Its not possible for us to go head-to-head with them, Qin Han said.
We want to spend some money, put out tens of billions, buy those lives. One billion per life. Give me some information.
I really cant.
Tao Cheng was troubled.
I know youre close to Lin Yi and I understand your feelings, but this matter is veryplicated. You cant act freely. Otherwise, this wouldnt have happened. I hope you can calm down.
Damnit!
Qin Han cursed. He was also filled with anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.
Sigh
Tao Cheng sighed, not knowing how to tell Qin Han and the others about this.
The people from the Central Guards Brigade knew very well that if Lin Yi had tried to save Zhou Liang at that time
As long as he hid, he would definitely be able to hold on until reinforcements arrived. He could have definitely survived.
However, he did not give up on Zhou Liang. Even if he was already dead at that time, he had to bring his corpse back.
He was truly worthy of the Central Guards Brigade.
At Yanjing Airport, two red g cars and three Audi A8s stopped at the side of the runway.
Ordinary people couldnt drive here, especially since this was the Yanjing airport.
But because the person in the car was Lu Beichen, no rule was inflexible.
Not long after, a ne from Emirates Airlines flew over from the distant sky and finallynded on the runway. It stopped not far from the three cars.
The people in the three cars got out one after another.
Lu Beichen, Liang Xianghe, Liang Cunxiao, Shen Shuyi, Liu Hong, and the six apanying guards.
Their gazes were calm. Only Liu Hong was trembling because he was nervous.
Old Liang, is he reallying back?
Standing beside Liang Cunxiao, Liu Hong asked quietly.
Both of their military ranks were the same, but Liang Cunxiao belonged to the main division, while Liu Hong belonged to the sub-division. After carefulparison, he was still slightly inferior to thetter.
However, because they had a good personal rtionship, he referred to his friend in this way.
Yes, he is. Liang Cunxiao was a little emotional. Hes been gone for more than 20 years. This is the first time hes back. Things have changed.
Liang Cunxiao was seven years older than Liu Hong.
When they were fighting in Yanjing and causing trouble, Liu Hong was still a kid.
He had only heard of Lin Jingzhans name from others.
Just like middle school and high school students now, when they heard the stories of older gangsters, they would all be mesmerized.
Back then, Liu Hong was like this.
When he was young, Lin Jingzhan was his idol, but he had never seen him in person.
Today, he had the chance to meet the powerful man in Yanjing.
His emotions were indescribably excited.
But what surprised him even more was that Lin Yi was Lin Jingzhans son.
This news really caught him off guard.
Soon, the door of the ne opened and six people got out.
Lin Jingzhan and Qin Yingyue walked out.
Lin Jingzhans appearance greatly exceeded Liu Hongs expectations.
He had short hair and well-defined features, especially his mouth and nose. He looked very simr to Lin Yi.
He was wearing a simple casual outfit without much re. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagles.
However, when they got off the ne, Liu Hong caught a detail.
The moment he stepped out of the cabin door, he looked around.
This was an upational disease. People who often engaged in dangerous activities would have this habit.
However, what happened next caused Liu Hong to stand rooted to the ground.
He saw that there were four other people who followed Lin Jing out.
There were two men and two women. They looked to be in their thirties or forties.
He did not know who these people were, but he saw the marks on their bodies!
Ace of Spades, Ace of Clubs, Ace of Hearts, Ace of Diamonds.
The intelligence capabilities of the Central Guard Brigade were top-notch, with many unrecorded files stored in secret vaults.
He clearly remembered a mission once executed on Tilian Ind.
Just as the mission was about to seed, a group of people intercepted them!
They were beaten so badly that they hardly had a chance to fight back. If the Yanlong Squad hadnt arrived, the consequences would have been even worse!
He distinctly remembered that the person who attacked them had a simr tattoo on his arm.
But that person had the King of Spades tattoo, while the people in front of him now
The situation didnt give Liu Hong much time to think.
Qin Yingyues cries broke the silence.
The moment she saw Shen Shuyi, she could no longer hold back.
Shuyi
Im sorry we didnt protect him.
The two of them hugged and cried. Shen Shuyis tears flowed uncontrobly.
In the face of immense grief, human emotions were like a thin balloon.
If no one touched it, it might remain fine.
However, if someone touched it, said a word, made a move, or even looked at it, their emotions would copse like a flood.
Inparison, men would be more reserved at this time.
Lin Jingzhan stood in front of Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe, his expression emotional.
Uncle Lu, Uncle Liang, long time no see. Youve all aged.
Youre no longer the rash child from back then. Lu Beichen said, Its been hard on you staying outside for so many years.
Some things had to be done. Lin Jingzhan squeezed out a smile and said, Take us there to take a look first.
Lets go. Its gettingte.
The group of people got into their respective cars. Looking at the four people following Lin Jingzhan, Liu Hongs emotions wereplicated.
An ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Qin Yingyue rushed to Lin Yis ward.
As soon as he entered, she saw Liang Ruoxu sitting beside him.
Lin Yis body was ced on the bed.
Son!
Qin Yingyues cries were deafening. She knelt in front of Lin Yis bed, and everyone on the entire floor could hear her cries.
She did not have an identity like Lin Jingzhan. Inparison, she was just an ordinary person.
Just like thousands of mothers.
She was fragile, and Lin Yis death was something she couldnt bear.
Son, open your eyes and lookat me.
Qin Yingyues tears drenched the sheets as she sobbed uncontrobly. She held Lin Yis hand tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.
She was unwilling to believe that her son, who had just acknowledged her, would leave her at such a young age.
But no matter how much she cried, no one responded.
Lin Jingzhan stood about a meter away from the bed, his gazending on Lin Yi.
Even though he had seen him in the photo, this son that he had never met before made his calm heart surge.
He was also moved, but he kept it inside and did not show it.
The person lying on the bed was his only bloodline.
He felt that Lin Yi would be like him. No one in this world could kill him.
Unfortunately, things did not go as nned.
Whoosh!
Lin Jingzhan took a deep breath and turned to leave.
At this moment, Wang Cuiping, Zhao Quanfu, and the others appeared at the door of the room.
They had been standing here ever since Qin Yingyue called Lin Yi her son, and their feelings were even moreplicated.
It was hard to ept that his biological mother would appear in such a way.
After all, she had disappeared for more than 20 years.
Are you Lin Yis adoptive parents?
Looking at Wang Cuiping and Zhao Quanfu, Lin Jingzhan asked.
We are.
Im his father, Lin Jingzhan. Thank you for taking care of him and nurturing him for so many years. We owe you for this.
Sigh
Zhao Quanfu had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they all turned into a sigh.
I guess you guys were in trouble too. Otherwise, you wouldnt have left him behind. However, things have turned out like this, so theres no point in saying all this.
Zhao Quanfu wiped his tears.
If only you guys could havee back earlier. He was bing so promising, but something like this happened again. Sigh
Everyone has their own path to walk. This is the path he chose. He cant me anyone else. Lin Jingzhan said.
But I still have to thank you for nurturing him all these years. If possible, Ill think of a way topensate you.
We dont want anypensation for raising him. We just wanted him to grow up healthily and be a good person, but he
Now that things havee to this, theres no point in saying anything else.
Lets all get over it.
Lin Jingzhan patted Zhao Quanfus shoulder, then left the ward and went to the room next door.
Lu Beichen, Liang Xianghe, Liang Cunxiao, and Liu Hong were all there, seemingly waiting for Lin Jingzhan toe over.
You all saw it, right? Lu Beichen said.
Lin Jingzhan nodded. I heard that he was shielding someone when he died? It was arade who died with him. When Lin Yi shielded him, he had already passed. Lu Beichen said.
If he didnt choose to save hisrade at that time, he would have been able to survive until you arrived, and such a thing wouldnt have happened. Yingyue mention some things about him to me. He can be considered a loyal person. Its reasonable for him to sacrifice himself to save someone. Lu Beichen nodded. He didnt want to pass judgment on if Lin Yis actions were right or wrong.
But it did prove that he hadnt misjudged the man.
What did you do about the ck Snake people?
When I got the news, I rushed back from the ind. I havent had a chance to act yet, Lin Jingzhan said.
But I did take out a few Meiguons to vent my anger. As for the ck Snake matter, Ill handle it when I return.
Lin Jingzhan paused for a few seconds.
I heard theres a mole in the Central Guard Brigade, and someone was firing from the shadows at the scene, indirectly causing this situation. Is that true? Were pretty sure theres a mole in the Central Guard Brigade. Ill find that person, Lu Beichen said.
As for the person shooting from the shadows, I cant be certain yet because we dont know everything that happened at the scene.
But this whole thing looks premeditated. To kill my son, they even hid ten kilograms of ore. The person behind this must be quite formidable. Do you have any suspects in mind?
I havent thought of it yet. Lu Beichen said.
During the entire conflict, the other party didnt give anything away, so its hard for us to guess.
Lin Jingzhan did not speak. The air seemed to have frozen.
Although the murderer didnt give himself away, there arent many people in the country who have the ability to do such a thing.
Are you talking about the Wang and Qin families? Liang Xianghe asked. The Wang family is huge. They could easily do something like this. Lin Jingzhan said.
Wang Tingshan is also an ambitious and ambitious person. He has the ability to do such a thing.
Although the Qin family has declined over the years, its not difficult for them to do such a thing. Moreover, because of me, they would have a motive to do such a thing. As for who did it, we have to continue investigating.
Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe looked at each other and got a bad feeling.
Lin Jingzhan did not seem to be in a hurry to confirm who the murderer was. He had his own logic and would drag out everyone capable of such an act and slowly investigate the matter.
Because there werent many people with that kind of capability.
In all of Huaxia, the number of suspects could be counted on one hand. For him, orchestrating such a thing wouldnt be difficult.
This is Huaxia, dont cause trouble.
I understand. I know my limits, and I wont make a mess of things, Lin Jingzhan said.
If you have any other information, theres no need to hide it from me. Both Yingyue and I will pursue this matter.
Throughout the conversation, neither of them mentioned the Wang family to Lin Jingzhan. Even Shen Shuyi, who was close to Qin Yingyue, hadnt disclosed anything.
They all knew that if they revealed their suspicions to Lin Jingzhan, it would undoubtedly cause a major upheaval.
Lin Jingzhan would do anything. If he really found out about this, the Wang family would definitely be in chaos.
However, the Wang family still had a lot of influence in Huaxia. If he attacked them, the consequences could be unimaginable.
Most importantly, Lin Jingzhan did not care about the consequences.
He was the same as Lin Yi, the type who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. When the time came, the Wang family would never enjoy a moment of peace!
And they would also be cklisted by Huaxia and be permanent enemies! This was something Lu Beichen did not want to see.

Ji Qingyan was stunned as her mind went nk.
What are you talking about
Were at the hospital in Yanjing. He, he cant make it If youe over now, you can still see him onest time.
How could this be? How could he not be able to make it?
Ji Qingyan raised her voice, almost screaming.
He was injured by a bomb If you donte, you really wont be able to see anything
I-Ill go over now. Wait for me!
Zong Yuan has already sent a car to pick you up. Theres a private ne at the airport. Come quickly
With her phone in hand, she dashed toward the door.
Thump!
Ji Qingyan stumbled and fell to the ground. Her knees hit the ground hard, but she scrambled to her feet and rushed downstairs as if her life depended on it.
Three hourster, it was already dawn.
The crowded Union Medical Hospital was no longer crowded.
Ji Qingyan sat in the car arranged by Gao Zongyuan and stopped at the entrance of the Third Inpatient Department.
However, at this moment, there were at least a hundred cars parked at the entrance of the Third Inpatient Department.
All kinds of license tes could be seen.
After alighting from the car, Ji Qingyan rushed toward the building like a crazy woman.
She took the elevator to the 22nd floor. Her anxiety made every second a torture.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she heard an uncontroble cry.
Ji Qingyan stood rooted to the ground. Not far away, she saw He Yuanyuan, Wang Cuiping, Zhao Quanfu, and Guo Ningyue
Her cries were like steel knives that scraped against her eardrums and pierced into her heart.
Senior Sister
Upon seeing Ji Qingyan, He Yuanyuan rushed over and hugged her tightly, crying even louder.
How, how could this be
Ji Qingyans eyes were zed over as if she had been struck dumb.
Sister-inw
Guo Ningyue hugged Ji Qingyan as well. My brother has left
Like a statue, Ji Qingyan stood rooted to the ground, her eyes lifeless and lifeless.
Grief engulfed everyone. Other than feeling sad, no one knew what to do at this time.
Mrs. Ji,e with me.
Tao Cheng endured his grief and walked up to Ji Qingyan.
He Yuanyuan and Guo Ningyue apanied Ji Qingyan to the ward.
Senior Sister!
Sister-inw!
As soon as she arrived at the door, she lost control of her legs and she copsed to the ground.
A few female members of the Central Guards Brigade rushed over and helped her up.
On the bed, Ji Qingyan did not see Lin Yi. Instead, she saw a white cloth covering a person.
However, Ji Qingyan could no longer walk on her own.
She was supported by someone who helped her to the bed.
Lin Lin Yi
She reached out tentatively and lifted the white cloth that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
She saw the familiar face, the man shed thought of day and night.
However, he did not expect that when they met again, they would be separated forever.
You, you
All of a sudden, Ji Qingyan seemed to have calmed down.
After experiencing great joy and sorrow, she could finally face her emotions calmly.
But this time, it wasnt with thoughts of Lin Yi, it was pitch ck.
When she woke up again, it was already past three in the morning.
Senior Sister
Ji Qingyan was ced in another room. He Yuanyuan and the other three were all there, not saying a word.
I, why am I here?!
You just passed out.
Wheres Lin Yi? I need to find him!
Its still next door. Well have to go through the rest of the procedure at dawn.
Ji Qingyan knew what she meant. He might be sent to the funeral home tomorrow morning.
She lifted the nket and hurried out of the room.
The sound of crying could still be heard in the corridor.
It was Wang Cuiping and Guo Ningyue.
Sister-inw
Upon seeing Ji Qingyan, Guo Ningyue stood up from the bench, tears streaming down her face.
The two of them grew up together. Her feelings for Lin Yi might be even greater than that of biological siblings. Her eyes were already swollen from crying.
Wang Cuiping was more restrained than Guo Ningyue, but her eyes were also swollen.
Zhao Quanfu and Wu Feiyue stood by the wall while the other squatted in the corner. They did not say a word, as if they had aged a few years in an instant.
Dont cry
Tears streamed down Ji Qingyans face as sheforted Guo Ningyue.
Right now, she was the one who needed to beforted the most. However, she still had to be strong andfort Guo Ningyue.
Sit with Mother Wang for a while. Ill go in and see him.
Yeah.
Pushing open the door of the ward, Ji Qingyan stopped in her tracks. She saw Liang Ruoxu on Lin Yis bed.
Neither of them knew that they would meet in such a way one day.
Upon seeing Ji Qingyan, Liang Ruoxu sat up from his chair. Her expression was a little uneasy, and it was difficult for her to look at Ji Qingyan directly.
However, Ji Qingyan did not want to be so calctive anymore.
It had alreadye to this point. She would just let all the troubles dissipate.
Other than Liang Ruoxu, Qiu Yuluo, Ning Che, Xiao Bing, and Tao Cheng were all here. No one was willing to leave.
Can, can you tell me what happened?
The three womens gazes fell on Tao Cheng. Take a look at this first. We found it on him. Its addressed to you.
Ji Qingyan saw that Tao Cheng had handed her a bloodstained note.
Trembling as she took the note from him, Ji Qingyans emotions were once again in turmoil.
Read it like it was written. This is the first time Ive written to you in more than two years.
I didnt know if I can go back, so I wrote this letter to you in advance. I believe that even if I cant go back, my body can still be transported to the country. So, theres a high chance that you can see this letter.
If I die, all the businesses under the Lingyun Group will be under your name unconditionally. Ive arranged these things a long time ago. If you encounter any difficulties in this matter, go to the Zhonghai garrison area and find a person called Yang Guangxia. He will help you settle everything.
If you are reading letter, I dont know if you can ept it, but I have no choice. I didnt know that such a thing would happen. I hope that the heavens will take care of me again. If I can return alive, Ill go with you to register my marriage. Life is too fragile. I dont want to leave any regrets.
But if you are reading this letter, it means that Im already dead. If you dont want to run thepany anymore, sell it all and live the life you want.
Im sorry. Ive only apanied you for two years of my long life. This is my regret and my misfortune. I really didnt want this to happen. Its just that I wont have another chance. I have more important things to do. I have to save him!
Im sorry I let you down.
Chapter 1827: Who Took the Ore?
Chapter 1827: Who Took the Ore?
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
What do you want to do? Lu Beichen asked.
Are we going to attack the Wang family and the Qin family?
I dont know, but someone has to take responsibility for this. After all, hes my only son. We owe him something. Logically speaking, 1 have to pursue this matter to the end.
As he spoke, Lin Jingzhan lowered his head and did not look at anyone.
Hes been living in Huaxia. You were the ones who pulled him into the Central Guards Brigade. Uncle Lu, Uncle Liang, I believe that there are some things that you know more than me. At this point, theres no point in hiding anymore. Itll be unfair to him.
The two of them were silent for a long time. After a long time, Lu Beichen said,
Actually, we dont have a clear target either, but like you said, not many people have the ability to do such a thing.
I understand.
Im done with this.
As he spoke, Lu Beichens gaze swept across Lin Jingzhan and the four people behind him. His expression seemed a little helpless.
Lin Jingzhan nodded. I still want to ask one more thing. Do you know where he hid the ten kilograms of ore on him? When our people went there, we couldnt find it on them. When we interrogated ck Snake, they didnt get the ore either.
Oh?
Upon hearing this news, Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe looked at each other.
The ore is not in our hands, nor did we find any relevant information.
The gloomy atmosphere spread throughout the room.
Because this matter was very strange.
At thest moment, ck Snakes men were still chasing and intercepting him, which meant that they did not obtain the ore.
So where did the ore go?
At this moment, Liu Hong raised his doubts.
Could Lin Yi have hid the ore? Then, he left behind clues for us to find in the future. However, during the confrontation, the clues were destroyed, causing the ore to lose contact.
Thats possible, but its unlikely. Lu Beichen analyzed.
Lin Yi is a person who takes care of everything. His thoughts are veryprehensive. The letters he wrote to the two women are perfectly preserved. He would definitely be more careful with such an important thing like the ore. Its unlikely that such a mistake would happen.
The others also agreed with Lu Beichens analysis.
However, this question seemed to be the key to this incident.
If they could answer it, many problems would be solved.
At this moment, Lin Jingzhan felt that Song Jinmin had touched him from behind, but he did not do anything else. It was as if he had something to say.
Thats all for now. Lin Jingzhan said, Ill slowly investigateter.
Since he couldnt figure it out for the time being, Lu Beichen didnt dwell too much on this problem.
Although Lin Yi had sacrificed himself, he still had to deal with it slowly in the future. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the two of them!
After the funeral tomorrow, you guys can go back so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Lin Jingzhan and the four people behind him were all top-notch figures wanted internationally. Lu Beichen also relied on his own ability to secretly bring them over.
If they stayed here for too long, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the security department.
This would not be good for anyone.
Ill try my best.
At this point, the matter waspletely over. Lin Jingzhan had alsopleted the purpose of his trip.
First, he came to see this son he had never met before.
The second was revenge!
He didnt know who the murderer was, but it didnt matter. He just had to kill everyone he disliked.
The reason why he chatted with Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe about these things was to give them notice.
This was because he would not give up on his goal. Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe also knew Lin Jingzhans temperament.
Once he made up his mind, he wouldnt give up. Moreover, this was about Lin Yis death.
In the room, Lu Beichen and Liang Xianghe each lit a cigarette. Thetter said in a low voice,
Are we just going to let it go?
Its not that we cant do anything about it. Its just that the Central Guards Brigade cant handle this matter. Lu Beichen said.
Forget the four teams of the Central Guards Brigade, even the Yanlong Team is not their match. He didnte here today to discuss this with us. To put it bluntly, he came to inform us.
Even the Yanlong Team was no match for him
Hearing this evaluation, Liu Hong had mixed feelings.
In the Central Guards Brigade, other than the four regrbat teams, there was also the Yanlong Team that was above them.
So far, the selection of the Yanlong Team had been extremely strict. Those who were not B-ss would not be able to enter the Yanlong Team.
This was like Team 4 in the Central Guards Brigade, where those who had not reached C-ss would not be able to join.
Unlike the other three teams, which allowed for special cases, the requirements for Team 4 and the Yanlong Team had never been lowered.
However, the chief said that even if the Yanlong Team was included, they would not be thetters match. These people were
Chief
Liu Hong took the trash can over and flicked the ashes for the two of them.
You want to ask about them?
Lu Beichen saw through Liu Hongs thoughts at a nce. Thetter chuckled. Im the person-in-charge of the Central Guards Brigades basic sequence. 1 definitely want to understand more.
Im not sure what level he has reached, but the four people behind them have all reached A-ss. You can guess the rest yourself.
Theyve all reached A-ss
Liu Hong shivered. A chill ran from his heels to the top of his head.
Suchbat power was enough to upy a ce on Tilia Ind.
At the same time, Lin Jingzhan and the others arrived in the corridor.
After such a long time, Qin Yingyues cries could still be heard, but Lin Jingzhan did not go back. Instead, he went to the end of the corridor, leaned against the window, and lit a cigarette.
Regarding Lin Yis sacrifice, Lin Jingzhan didnt show much emotional fluctuation, which seemed somewhat cold.
But it couldnt be said that Lin Yi didnt matter to him. His emotions were just too restrained, unlike Qin Yingyues outward expression.
He had his own ns, hoping to meet Lin Yi at the peak in a few years, but that moment never came.
That was his regret.
Did you have something to say just now?
Lin Jingzhan looked at Song Jinmin and said.
I feel that Mammons people might have been there.
Mammon!
The few of them looked at Song Jinmin. Finally, Lin Jingzhan asked, How did you guess this?
Previously, when we were in Doora, we met a group of people with very high levels. They snatched Jeffreys ore from right in front of us. If I hadnt arrived in time, he would have been finished. Moreover, the other party had B-ss people. Now that the ore has disappeared, its very likely that this group of people appeared again..

Chapter 1828: The Old King Is Dead, A New King Should Be Appointed
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Are you sure theyre from Mammon?
Lin Jingzhan flicked the cigarette ash and asked in a low voice.
No, its just a guess, Song Jinmin said.
In this matter, Lin Yi didnt fight with the foreigners and the Meiguons for long. Most of the time, he was hiding and escaping. Moreover, the ore was very likely lost during his escape.
This requires very high reconnaissance abilities. Among the people I know, including us, there are no more than five who have such skills, said Ace of Hearts.
But Mammons people do have such an ability.
Ace of Spades, whose real name is Mira, is a blonde, blue-eyed woman with a shm waist, long legs, and an explosive figure. She has a pair of alluring eyes, much like Marvels ck Widow, exuding a cold aura. In Lin Jingzhans organization, she primarily handles intelligence work and was A-ss.
Even if they arent from Mammon, we cant underestimate the opponents capabilities, Ace of Clubs said.
Ace of Clubs, whose name is Gayson, is a ck man from South Feizhou, standing nearly two meters tall. Beside Mira, he looked like a small mountain, yet he possessed a sharp mind. He was mainly responsible for assault missions within the organization and was also A-ss.
Theres something very strange about this. If it was Mammon or another organization that stole the ore, why didnt they kill the two of them? said Ace of Diamonds.
No one would be so kind as to rob and not kill.
Ace of Diamonds, whose name is Monica, pales inparison to Mira in terms of looks and figure. In a crowd, she would only appear ordinary without any striking features.
However, she was once the most outstanding surgeon in the world. Her memory was super strong, and it could even be said that she had a photographic memory. She was also A-ss.
Monicas analysis also made the others suspicious. They knew that none of the foreigners were good.
If someone didnt have a few lives on their hands, they wouldnt even be considered serious yers in the field.
Especially those daring enough to steal Bass ore; these organizations were all ruthless and merciless. It was indeed unlikely that they would leave anyone alive.
This matter had too many suspicious points, making it difficult for Lin Jingzhan and the others to fully grasp the situation.
But for him, who had stolen the ore wasnt the main issue.
What mattered was uncovering the mastermind behind this operation.
The people guarding the hospital stayed up all night, and so did the Wang family.
The Wang father and son were gathered in the study room. There was a smile in their eyes. There was also a bottle of red wine on the table. The two of them clinked sses frequently.
At this moment, a ck Audi A8 stopped at the entrance of the Wang familys vi. Li Mi tidied his clothes and came to the study.
Master.
Hows the situation at the hospital?
Its been sealed off. Theres no way to get in without the right people. Li Mi said.
But ording to the current situation, we should be starting the funeral process tomorrow.
After such a long time, its finally time. Wang Tingshan said,
Keep an eye on what happens next. I want to see what other arrangements Lu Beichen has for this matter.
Understood!
Pi epare a few wreaths and send them to him tomorrow. Wang Mian said.
Were old friends after all. Now that hes gone, I have to show him some courtesy.
No. Wang Tingshan said,
This will arouse suspicion. Lets not do anything and pretend that this never happened. They can do whatever they want. This will have nothing to do with the Wang family.
Its a pity that I didnt kill him myself and couldnt give him a few wreaths. It cant be helped. Lin Yis level is very high. If it wasnt for your Uncle Chen who shot him twice from behind, who knows what could have killed him. It had to be said that Wang Tingshan was a very cautious person. He had handled this matter near-wlessly.
He didnt let the people under him do anything out of line and hid themselves well.
However, from the beginning to the end, he had overlooked one thing.
The biggest variable in this matter was Lin Jingzhan!
He was not a reasonable person. He would erase all suspicious targets!
Alright, as long as hes dead, Im satisfied. The rest doesnt matter. Wang Mian said.
But I dont want to let him off so easily. I want him to die without any peace!
Yanjing, Qin Family.
At dawn, the head of the Qin family, Qin Yinglong, sat up on the bed.
As people got older, they got used to waking up early. Moreover, he had developed the habit of waking up early every day to practice boxing. Therefore, at around four oclock every day, when the sun peeked from the east, he would get up to practice boxing to ensure that his skills remained sharp.
Ring ring ring
Qin Yinglong had just put on his clothes when his phone rang.
He realized that it was his assistant.
What is it?
Qin Yinglong said in a low voice. He didnt want anyone to disturb him when he woke up in the morning to practice his boxing. He wanted to be as quiet as possible.
Something big happened in Yanjingst night. Lin Yi, who had a grudge against the Qin family, died.
Huh?
Qin Yinglongs expression froze in an instant.
What did you say? Lin Yi is dead?
Many of the higher-ups in the military know about this, but Lu Beichen has
already ordered a lockdown. I heard about it by chance.
Hes actually dead
This news was too unexpected for Qin Yinglong.
He was a little shocked.
Lin Jingzhan had learned a lot about Lin Yi. With strong backing from Lu Beichen and the Liang family, Lin Yi was undoubtedly a pir of the next generation in Huaxia.
Now, he had died for no reason. It was too surprising.
And? Is there any other news?
Not for now, everything has been sealed off, the assistant replied.
But hes dead, and the funeral is expected to be today.
Hehe, go ask around and see where they hold the funeral. We have to send some wreaths over no matter what.
Okay!
Other than the Qin family, the other prominent families in Yanjing also learned about Lin Yis sacrifice.
Even though Lu Beichen had ordered a news ckout, it was impossible to keep everythingpletely under wraps.
The influential families had extensiveworks and would inevitably hear some news.
Families like the Zhao, Gu, Lu, and Sun, who had previously had conflicts with Lin Yi, all learned of his death.
For a time, there was a storm brewing in Yanjing, and countless people quickly awoke.
On one hand, many felt that their revenge had been achieved and wanted to see Lin Yi off.
On the other hand, his death would likely lead to the decline of Lingyun Group.
For years, they had watched Lin Yi rise, bing a giant in Huaxias semiconductor industry within just two short years.
But with his death, everything woulde crashing down!
This would cause a huge impact on the Huaxia semiconductor industry.
The old king was dead, and the new king should be appointed!
This was a great opportunity for the new wave.
Everyones eyes started turning red.

Chapter 1829: Causing Trouble
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
It was dawn. It was six oclock in the morning in Yanjing, and most people in the city woke up from their slumber.
The uncles and aunties carried their bags to the market to buy vegetables. They picked and picked on both sides of the street and haggled with the small vendors.
The young man held his phone and ran on the road with his bag, hoping to catch the bus and subway that was about to arrive.
Even some of the children had woken up to memorize English words.
This world seemed to have not changed much from the day before. Everyone was concerned about their own affairs. The joys and sorrows of others had nothing to do with them.
On the 22nd floor of the Third Inpatient Department of Union Medical Hospital.
Few people knew how the people on this floor had spent the night.
The air was silent, like a DVD yer that had been paused.
At this moment, there was no longer any crying. Their tears had all dried up.
At the same time, Lu Beichen and the others walked out of the ward next door.
Dozens of people from the three teams of the Central Guards Brigade were waiting in the corridor, waiting for further instructions.
He looked haggard as he said to Liu Hong,
You can handle the follow-up matters.
Alright.
Liu Hong found Lin Jingzhan and Zhao Quanfu.
They were Lin Yis father and adoptive father.
The specific details were still up to them to decide.
At the same time, Wu Feiyue was standing behind Zhao Quanfu. After something like this had happened, he had to stand up and help.
Its almost time. The funeral parlor is ready. If theres nothing else, we have to bring him over.
Lin Jingzhan made an inviting gesture.
Lin Yi has been growing up by your side all these years. Well take care of him
in your way.
How can we do that? Youre his father. We cant decide for you now that youre
here.
Its fine. Well do as you wish. Youve taken care of him for so many years.
Youre more qualified than us.
Zhao Quantas expression was sorrowful, and he was not in the mood to be too modest about this matter.
Then lets keep everything simple. When we are delivering the body to the funeral home, can you let us follow the car? Let us
Zhao Quanfu wiped away his tears.
Lets see him off again.
No problem. Ill arrange it.
ording to Liu Hongs arrangements, the people from the Central Guards
Brigade walked towards Lin Yis family.
They told them what happened next and began the next step.
However, this action was like bursting a thin balloon.
Ji Qingyan, Liang Ruoxu, Qin Yingyue, Wang Cuiping, Guo Ningyue, and the others burst into tears once again.
If they were supported, they might have fallen to the group.
Because of therge number of people and Lin Yis identity, many of the necessary processes were waved, unlike ordinary people who had to go through many procedures.
Around seven in the morning, Lin Yi and Zhou Liangs bodies were carried into the car before being driven towards the funeral home.
In addition to the driver, Lin Jingzhan, Qin Yingyue, Zhao Quanfu, and Wang
Cuiping were also in the car.
They were prepared to send Lin Yi off for thest time.
It was covered with a white cloth, but no one lifted it because none of them dared to look.
At eight oclock in the morning, the car arrived at the funeral home.
The 300-square-meter farewell hall was filled with people.
They were preparing for the final farewell of the body.
Why are you still sitting here?
In the corner of the auditorium, Liang Cunxiao asked when he saw Lin Jingzhan wearing sunsses and sitting in the inner corner of the room.
Its so noisy. 1 want to be quiet for awhile.
Liang Cunxiao patted his shoulder and looked at his old friend. He also had a lot to say, but in the end, the words got stuck in his throat. He felt that nothing he said was appropriate.
This all-powerful man was not as hard as iron. His heart was probably more chaotic than anyone elses at this moment.
However, he could not vent like the others. He had to keep everything in his heart.
At this moment, a discordant voice came from the door.
Its so hical that no one told us about such a big event.
Hearing someone speak, everyone looked at the door and saw more than ten people walking in.
They were dressed gorgeously and their clothes were colorful. There was no hint of sorrow on their faces.
The person who led the way in was Zhao Mo, who had previously been beaten into submission by Lin Yi.
in addition, Gu Changchuan, Sun Ce, and Lu Xuan followed closely behind.
The bodyguards behind them each held a wreath and ced it beside the body with a smile.
Following closely behind were the elders of the four families.
Zhao Mos father, Zhao He, Gu Changchuans father, Gu Peng, Lu Xuans father, Lu Yuanlin, and Sun Ces father, Sun Chunqiang, also walked in.
These peoples appearance made the atmosphere of the farewell hall turn strange.
It was like the Yellow River entering the sea, forming a distinct color from the blue of the sea.
Zhao Mo walked to the body and looked at the motionless Lin Yi. Then, he smiled.
Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi, you really let me down. I was still waiting to surpass you and avengethe old grudge, but how did you just die? The heavens have eyes, indeed. The wicked die young. I suppose I should start worshipping a Buddha and doing more good deeds, Zhao Mo said with a mocking tone.
Shut the f*ckup!
Liang Jinming took out his phone and threw it at Zhao Mo.
If you dare say one more word, Ill kill you. Try me if you dont believe it!
At the same time, Qin Han and Gao Zongyuan also stepped forward, pointing at Zhao Mo and his group.
Get out of here. This isnt a ce for you, Qin Han demanded.
Zhao Mo didnt seem the least bit angry. He looked at Qin Han and the others with a mocking expression.
Qin Han, weve been openly and secretlypeting for years. Do you really think we arent your equals? We just didnt want to bother with you.
Zhao Mo casually lit a cigarette. When Lin Yi was alive, I was somewhat cautious. Now that hes dead, do you really think I care about you? Businessmen will always be businessmen. To me, youre just upstarts. Save your strength.
F*ckyou!
Qin Han and the other two didnt stand on ceremony. They rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards Zhao Mo and the others.
Whoosh!
Because he had an advantageous, Qin Han punched him in the face.
Zhao Mo staggered back a few steps and almost fell.
But at this moment, Gu Changchuan rushed up and kicked Qin Han.
There was no doubt that he was a professional. Qin Han and the other two were no match for him at all and were sent flying with a kick.
Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan were not any better. Before they could hit Lu Xuan and Sun Ce, they were subdued by Gu Changchuan.
Brother Qin.
Xiao Bing and Luo Qi walked over and helped the three of them up.
Xiao Bing looked up at the four of them. This is such an important day. I hope you wonte and cause trouble.
Who the hell do you think you are, b*tch? Get lost.
Piack!
Xiao Bing raised her hand and pped Zhao Mos face.

Zhao Mo was sent flying by Xiao Bings p, not being able to withstand Xiao Bings strength at all.
Not to mention him, even the martial arts practitioner Gu Changchuan was inferior to Xiao Bing.
Members of the Central Guards Brigade were existences that could crush ordinary people!
Even if Xiao Bing was just a woman.
F*ck! Youre courting death!
After Zhao Mo was beaten up, Gu Changchuan rushed forward. However, he had chosen the wrong opponent this time!
Youre causing trouble in my Brother Lins mourning hall. I really want to beat you to death!
Xiao Bing turned sideways and dodged Gu Changchuans attack. Then, she grabbed his hair and punched his face!
One punch!
Two punches!
Three punches!
Tears streamed down Xiao Bings face as she vented all the bitterness in her heart on Gu Changchuan.
Because in Team 1, she was the closest to Lin Yi.
Compared to the other members, Lin Yis death was a bigger blow to her.
Stop it!
Gu Changchuans father, Gu Peng, walked over!
Get lost, or Ill beat you up too!
Gu Peng was shocked by Xiao Bings boldness and stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move.
If it was in the past, she would not have such a cold temperament. However, after the battle in Panem, the members of Team i had changedpletely.
This was also the Central Guards Brigades usual creed. They grew up in battle.
Alright, stop, Liu Hong said in a low voice.
Hitting Gu Changchuan was one thing, but Gu Pengs status was another matter entirely.
From a broader perspective, Liu Hong couldnt allow Xiao Bing to continue, which was also a way to protect her.
Xiao Bing stopped and threw Gu Changchuan aside.
Trash and parasites like you, who only rely on your families, dont deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Brother Lin.
Damnit!
Gu Changchuans face was covered in blood, his previous suave demeanorpletely gone.
Being beaten like this by a woman in such a public setting was something he couldnt ept!
Stop!
At the crucial moment, Gu Peng intervened and called Gu Changchuan off. He had already understood the situation.
This young woman wasnt an ordinary person!
Liu Hong, what is the meaning of this? Are you instructing your Central Guard Brigade members to assault people? Gu Peng asked coldly.
Liu Hong looked up at Gu Peng, a trace of coldness in his eyes.
Thats enough. Look at the people present. I know your influence, but be careful not to y with fire and get burned.
Looking at Lu Beichen, Liang Xianghe, Shen Shuyi, and Qin Yingyue in the crowd, the people from the four big families were a little hesitant.
These people were extremely influential in Yanjing, even throughout all of Huaxia.
In such a setting, trying to overpower them and do something was obviously impossible.
But that didnt matter. As long as he didnt show any weakness or give them any leverage, they couldnt do anything to him.
Its quite lively here today, with so many people showing up.
Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a teasing voice came from outside.
Everyone turned to see Qin Yinglong arriving with his son, Qin Yanfu, and his nephew, Qin Yanling.
Seeing the Qin family approach, Qin Yingyues expression changed slightly. She hadnt expected them toe.
Compared to the other families, while their influence was simr, the Qin family held a slight edge.
But unlike the other families, upon arriving, the Qin family didnt choose to cause trouble. Instead, they approached Qin Yingyue directly.
Yingyue, I havent seen you for so many years. Youre finally willing toe back.
Long time no see, Big Brother.
Hinph
Qin Yinglong snorted coldly, Your rtionship was really well-hidden. I only found out now that Lin Yi is your son.
Is there a point of saying all this now?
No, but because of you, the Qin family declined. This all your fault!
Qin Yinglong raised his voice without any reason. It was obvious that he had been suppressing this anger in his heart for a long time.
If you want to me this on me, I have no objections. Qin Yingyue suppressed her sadness and said.
But today is the day of my sons funeral. No matter what, youre still his uncle. Im not asking you to send him off. I just hope you can let leave quietly.
Haha Why dont you leave quietly? Qin Yinglongughed out loud.
When he attacked Yan Fu and Yan Ling, he didnt seem to show any mercy and made us theughing stock of others again. Do you think Ill agree to this?
Big Brother, why are you doing this? Qin Yingyue said.
If you continue to be like this, the Qin family will not be able to develop.
What do you mean?!
I know there have been some issues between you all, but those matters are long past. Its been at least six months since then. If you really wanted to settle things, why wait until today?
Qin Yingyue sneered, her disdain and contempt evident as she nced at the members of the other families.
Its taken you this long toe forward because you were scared after my son beat you. You didnt dare to make a move. Last year, your four families tried to short Didi Chuxing under Lingyun Group and lost a lot of money in secret. You all know that. Yanfu and Yanling have also faced him and know the oue. Ha
Qin Yingyue took a deep breath. Now that something has happened to my son, all of you have jumped out. Dont you feel ashamed?
Qin Yingyues words were powerful and resounding.
It was like a p to their faces.
The reason why they dared to cause trouble so brazenly was because Lin Yi was dead.
Otherwise, who would dare to shout here?
How could a bunch of clowns dare to act rashly in front of the king?
After being exposed by Qin Yingyue, the members of the five big families felt embarrassed. It was as if they were standing naked in front of everyone.
Being used of bullying the weak was one thing, but being called out for it in public was truly humiliating!
Hmph!
Qin Yinglong snorted coldly. Qin Yingyue, let me tell you. Old Master Lu is here, so I wont argue with you, but Ill say this today. Even if hes dead, dont think youll have peace in the future! Were leaving!
After doing what they had to do, the Qin family prepared to leave.
There was no point in staying here. They were not afraid of the Liang family, but they were afraid of Lu Beichen.
As long as he was present, causing more trouble was impossible.
With the Qin family leaving, the Zhao, Gu, Lu, and Sun families also saw no reason to stay.
Their goal had been achieved.
But just then, a clear and sharp voice rang out, catching everyones attention.
Since youre all here, why not stay a bit longer? Its not often we get to see each other.

Chapter 1831: Survival Against All Odds

Just as the five families were about to leave, they heard this strange voice and instinctively stopped, turning to look in the direction it came from.
They saw the crowd ahead parting to the sides.
There, sitting in a corner, was a man with short, slightly dark skin. After carefully looking at him, they realized they didnt recognize him.
But they didnt dare to be careless, because Liang Cunxiao was standing right next to him.
This detail was noticed by the members of the five families.
Who was Liang Cunxiao? He was a true formidable general within the military.
In ancient times, there was Chen Qingzhi, whose presence caused thousands of troops to scatter. In modern times, there was Liang Cunxiao, a heroic figure whose presencemanded respect and fear.
But now, he was actually standing beside that person. Who exactly was he?
How dare he sit in front of Liang Cunxiao?
who are you? What are you doing here?!
Youre here to pay your respects to my son. As his father, shouldnt I stand up and say a few words? If I neglect the guests, Ill look ungrateful.
Son!
The faces of Qin Yinglong, Gu Peng, and the others turned extremely ugly.
They all knew what happened in Yanjing back then.
The beautiful Qin Yingyue had ran away from Yanjing with Lin Jingzhan.
After so many years, they all thought that Lin Jingzhan had died in battle or had settled down to be an ordinary person.
However, they never thought that the man who had turned Yanjing upside down back then would really return.
Lin Jingzhan got up from his chair and walked towards Qin Yinglong and the others.
However, with every step he took, their hearts trembled.
This was especially true for Qin Yanfu and Qin Yanling. They had already mastered thebat method of exerting strength in their dantian. They immediately sensed that the pressure emitted from Lin Jingzhans body had already reached a level that made them shudder.
Lin Jingzhan, its really you!
Why? Are you surprised to see me? We re friends after all. Did you really want me to die outside?
So what if youre back? The Qin family has fallen this far because of you. The
Qin family will never forgive you!
Back then, all of you were beaten up so badly by me that you couldnt even lift your heads. It wasnt until I left that you managed to regain a foothold in Yanjing.
But after so many years, your son is still as disappointing as you were back then. He was beaten up by my son until he lost his temper. Now that my son is gone, you brought people and sprung out from the cracks. If I hadnte back, you all would have tried to bully Yingyue.
This was all your fault back then. You have to repay this debt!
Heh
Lin Jingzhan smiled. Whether it was back in Yanjing or when I was overseas all these years, no one dared toe to me to collect old debts.
Lin Jingzhan patted Qin Yinglongs shoulder. He did not use much strength, but he still forcefully pressed him down.
Thetter instantly knelt on the ground with a muffled sound!
Dad!
Let go of my master!
The bodyguards behind Qin Yinglong rushed forward, but at that moment, the sound of metal clicking filled the air.
Four ck pistols were cocked, aimed at the heads of the Qin family members.
Song Jinmin, looking impatient, scratched his ear. Do you really think just because this is Huaxia, we wouldnt dare to kill?
A chilling aura instantly enveloped the Qin family, making their legs weak with fear.
Only then did they understand why even someone as strong as Liang Cunxiao stood by this mans side.
Alright, thats enough. Lets not go overboard, Lu Beichen said. Lin Jingzhan made a gesture, and Song Jinmin and the others bolstered their guns and stepped aside.
Even so, Qin Yinglong didnt dare move. His back was soaked with cold sweat.
Lin Jingzhan turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the four families.
No matter what, weve known each other for twenty or thirty years. Coming here to send off my son with such an attitude is inappropriate, dont you think?
Lin Jingzhan made a gesture of invitation. Shouldnt you at least bow before leaving?
Instinctively, Gu Peng and the others swallowed hard.
They hade today intending to humiliate Lin Yi, ensuring he wouldnt rest in peace even in death. But they hadnt expected Lin Jingzhan, an unexpected and formidable presence, to return.
The tense atmosphere was in a deadlock. Lin Jingzhan stood on the spot casually, but it made the people of the four great families feel ufortable.
In the end, Gu Peng said, Take a bow before you leave. Its also a sign of respect for the dead.
Zhao Mo and the others did not understand what was going on. They were filled with questions. They badly wanted to know who this person called Lin Jingzhan was. Why was he so bold?
Come on, dont dawdle.
The four families stood in two rows and bowed to Lin Yis body.
Qin Han and the other two stood at the side and were secretly dumbfounded.
Who was Lin Yis father?
His subordinates dared to draw their guns in such a setting?
That was crazy impressive.
Now thats more like the style of a big family. Otherwise, it would be uncivilized, Lin Jingzhan said.
This is no longer your concern. Take your people and leave. Remember, Im still alive.
The members of the five families had varied expressions. They had arrived with great fanfare, but now they left with their heads down. Now, even the bright sunlight outside felt harsh to them.
Lin Jingzhan lowered his head slightly and walked over to Liu Hong. Continue with the remaining proceedings. Finish by noon; it wouldnt be good to go over time.
Liu Hong nodded, also awed by Lin Jingzhans presence.
It was fortunate to encounter him here. If they had met on Tilia Ind, such a person would be like an ancient monstrous flood. How could the Central Guard Brigade ever oppose him?
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Liu Hong regained his focus and started the next crucial part of the ceremony: the farewell to the deceased.
Everyone spontaneously stood in a row, surrounding the two corpses.
The tears and sadness that she had previously stopped immediately surged forward again when they saw Lin Yi in the ss cabin.
It was quiet. Li Chuhan held back her tears and leaned against the wall like an old man in his twilight years. She walked out slowly before dissapearing from everyones sight. Even Qiao Xin didnt notice her leaving.
Dong dong dong!
Huge sorrow enveloped the entire farewell hall. The sound of crying overpowered all, including the barely audible heartbeat.
In the ss coffin, Lin Yis fingers moved slightly, but no one noticed this small detail.
He felt that he had entered a strange world. His surroundings were pitch-ck, but a speck of light had appeared in his chest and was spreading throughout his body at a visible speed.
Am I dead Lin Yi muttered to himself in the strange world.
[Yes.]
What answered him was the familiar system.
Phew Lin Yiughed bitterly, I really didnt expect to die in such a way, but I think its worth it. Ive known you for more than two years, and youve turned me from a poor loser to a rich man. Although I usually scold you, Im still very grateful to you.
Lin Yi originally thought that the system would say a few warm words to him at this time, but he didnt expect it to give him another answer.
[Survival Against All Odds, activate!]
Chapter 1832: Suicide
Chapter 1832: Suicide
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Survival Against All Odds!
Hearing the systems voice, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that the ultimate reward for the farmer profession was a passive skill!
He was saved from a desperate situation!
At that time, he had even asked the system what this skill was used for.
He was told that this skill could save his life in a desperate situation.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.
If not for this passive skill, he would have really died.
Just as Lin Yi wasmenting the heavens blessings, he suddenly felt his consciousness fading.
The white light on his body spread throughout his entire body like a huge cocoon, enveloping him.
At the same time, in the auditorium, the farewell ceremony had beenpleted. Thest thing left was for the bodies to be cremated.
Lin Yi and Zhou Liangs bodies were pushed into the car. Shen Shuyi supported Qin Yingyue, while Lin Jingfu, Zhao Quanfu, and Wang Cuiping ushered them to the car.
Brother Zhao, Sister-inw, lets get in the car together. This is the final journey.
Were not going.
Zhao Quanfeng said painfully, waving his hand. Seeing him here is enough. No matter what, he wonte back.
Wang Cuiping didnt say anything. She couldnt speak and also couldnt dare to go.
She was afraid she couldnt handle it.
Lin Jingzhan understood their feelings. They had raised Lin Yi like their own son. Now that he was gone, they were at on the verge of a breakdown.
Well go together, Lin Jingzhan said, looking at Qin Yingyue.
Im not going either. You take our son, Qin Yingyue said. Her tears had dried up, herplexion was pale, and she waspletely broken.
Lin Jingzhan said nothing more. At this moment, someone needed to see him off onest time.
Ill followyou in the car. Lin Jingzhan looked at Liu Hong and said.
Lets hurry up and arrange the others. This is thest item.
Okay.
The people who came to attend the memorial service all got into the cars with depressed expressions, preparing to escort the two corpses to be cremated.
Dozens of cars left one after another, and the people in the funeral parlor gradually disappeared.
Qiao Xin looked around, trying to find Li Chuhan, but she couldnt find her.
Where did she go at this critical moment? Qiao Xin muttered to herself and looked at Miao Guofeng.
Director Miao, did you see where Sister Li went?
I remember that she was by my side just a moment ago. Where did she go? Miao Guofeng looked around and said.
Call her and tell her to meet us in the parking lot.
Okay.
Just as Qiao Xin was about to make a call, she suddenly heard someone shout.
Jing A1AX39, a ck ord. Whose car is this?
ck ord? Miao Guofeng murmured, since the car was borrowed from Ma Renbo, he didnt quite remember the license te, but it seemed like the one he drove here.
It might be ours, whats wrong? Miao Guofeng responded.
You d better go check it out. Theres a woman in ck clothes inside, not moving at all. It looks like somethings wrong.
A woman in ck
The two of them exchanged nces. They recalled that Li Chuhan was wearing ck clothes today!
Qiao Xin immediately started running, with Miao Guofeng following closely behind.
They hoped it was a misunderstanding, but if it was really Li Chuhan, it would be disastrous!
Qiao Xin reached the parking lot and flung the car door open. Her head buzzed, and she nearly fainted.
Li Chuhan was slumped over the back seat, her face deathly pale. There were two empty bottles on the floorsleeping pills.
She hadmitted suicide
Quick, send her to the hospital!
Miao Guofeng shouted loudly and hurriedly got into the car. He took Li Chuhan and rushed towards the hospital as fast as possible.
In the back row, Qiao Xin hugged Li Chuhan and wailed.
Sister Li, Sister Li!
Over and over again, she called out Li Chuhans name. Even if Brother Lin is gone, he still wants you to live. Wiry are you taking things so hard Sister Li! Sister Li!
Qiao Xin cried so hard that she almost fainted.
Lin Yi and Li Chuhan were the most important people in her life apart from her parents.
Now the two of them were gone, one after the other. It was a weight she couldnt bear.
After Lin Yi left, no one could understand Li Chuhans pain and suffering.
Lin Yi was her hope.
To her, what was the point of staying here alone after Lin Yi left?
In the hearse, other than the driver, only Lin Jingzhan remained.
Among the four parents, he had been the calmest from the beginning to the end. Throughout the entire process, he did not shed a single tear.
Perhaps this was fate. Lin Yisst journey was apanied by his father.
Though it was a tragic way to do so.
Lifting the white cloth covering the body, Lin Jingzhan looked at the battered Lin Yi and spoke to himself.
I ve thought it over. If you hadnt cared about yourrades or the ten kilograms of ore, you probably could have escaped the encirclement. It wouldnt have been shameful at all. In fact, it would have been quite impressive. But you gave your life to save someone else, not to mention, it was just a corpse. No matter how you look at it, it doesnt seem worth it. Phew
Lin Jingzhan exhaled heavily. But I still think what you did was right. A person who abandons their friends andrades cant achieve great things. You did well, and you earned my respect.
Sigh
Lin Jingzhan sighed deeply. He removed his armor, several times almost saying something but stopping himself.
I learned a lot about you from your mother. Many times, I wanted toe see you, but I kept thinking, once you achieved something, and I did too, we could meet at the top and have a drink together. That would make lifeplete. But I ve sinned too much, and heaven didnt give me that chance. Once I finish settling these matters, Ille find you for that drink hmm?
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jingzhan was stunned. He did not know if it was his imagination or if it was reality.
He thought he saw Lin Yis eyshes moving!
Lin Jingzhan did not move. He was someone who had experienced many storms. Even at this moment, he could not remain calm.
Was this a zombie?
It was extremely quiet in the hearse. Lin Jingzhan was drenched in cold sweat.
This scene was a little scary
F*ck!
Lin Jingzhan cursed because he saw Lin Yis eyshes move again!
He was sure that he was not hallucinating this time!
It really moved!
Instinctively, Lin Jingzhan looked at the driver in front of him. Because he was from the military, he sat straight and looked straight ahead. He didnt notice anything strange behind him. If he knew that Lin Yi had moved, he wouldnt know how he would react.
Brother, stop up ahead. Ill get someone else to drive.
Someone else?
Well, its not very auspicious to drive a hearse. Ill get someone else to do it.
Just do as I say.
Okay.
The driver didnt say anything because this person was the deceaseds father and had an extraordinary rtionship with the chief. Thus, he just did what he was told.
Then, Lin Jingzhan called Song Jinmin. Thetter overtook the hearse and swapped ces with the driver.
Why are you making me drive?
After getting into the car, Song Jinmin said with a cigarette in his mouth,
That s your sons body. Dont tell me youre scared.
Turnaround.
Whats wrong?
Song Jinmin turned around and saw Lin Yis fingers trembling!
F*ck!
Chapter 1833: Legendary Black Coffin-Bearer
Chapter 1833: Legendary ck Coffin-Bearer
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
What the f*ckis going on? Dont y with people like this.
Song Jinmin was so scared that he almost peed his pants. The cigarette in his mouth fell onto his crotch. The hearse sharply turned in an S-shape pattern in the middle of the road, causing the onlookers by the roadside to be stunned.
Why is the hearse drifting?
I dont know whats going on either. Lin Jingzhan said.
I saw his eyshes move just now and felt that something was wrong, so I called you over.
Thankyou so much for thinking so highly of me, Song Jinminined.
Next time theres such a good opportunity, you should call those three.
Enough with the nonsense, Lin Jingzhan said. I just have a feeling somethings not right.
You mean hes not dead? Song Jinmin also became serious. But his pupils are dted, so theres no way he could still be alive.
Then how do you exin this?
Dont you Huaxians have a saying about corpsesing back to life? You shouldnt be asking me about this.
After a long silence, Lin Jingzhan said slowly.
Drive slower and try to dy a bit. I need to think about how to handle this.
Got it.
Song Jinmin, with a cigarette in his mouth, drove leisurely, asionally ncing back to check.
There were a few times when he saw Lin Yis fingers moving.
Hes not dead.
Lin Jingzhan suddenly said, His pupils have regained their light, and his fingers have started moving.
Song Jinmin shivered, feeling the temperature in the car drop suddenly.
He had seen plenty of Huaxian zombie movies, and if Lin Yi dide back to life and took a bite out of him, that would indeed be interesting.
Cremation is definitely out of the question. Do you have any ideas?
If hes really not dead, then well y along.
You want to use this opportunity to stage a drama?
The murderer hasnt surfaced yet, but I have a feeling its the Wang family from Yanjing. So, lets let him handle it himself. After all, everyone thinks hes dead.
This is Huaxia. we cant handle this ourselves. We need Lu Beichens men to help.
Lin Jingzhan nodded. They could not use force at this time. Lu Beichen was the right person for this job.
In a while, you foure over and move him in without involving anyone else.
Understood.
About half an hourter, the car arrived at the crematorium.
ording to Lin Jingzhans arrangement, Song Jinmin and the others moved Lin Yis body into a sealed room.
Then, they called Lu Beichen in.
Why did you bring him here? Everything is set up for the next step in the cremation process.
Uncle Lu, theres something you might not believe, but something unexpected happened.
With all of you here, what could possibly go wrong?
Lin Jingzhan smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.
He turned around to look at Song Jinmin and the other three and realized that they were retreating.
Dont look at us. Were just working here. We cant get involved in this.
What are you talking about? If you have something to say, say it quickly.
Its better if you see for yourself.
Lin Jingzhan lifted the white curtain. When Lu Beichen saw Lin Yis corpse, he staggered and almost fainted.
Why does his hand keep moving?
Compared to the beginning, Lin Yis fingers were now moving more and more frequently. One didnt need to look carefully to see that his body was moving again.
Not only are his hands moving, but his pupils have also returned to normal. Lin Jingzhan said.
Although this goes against normal scientific understanding, he seems to have reallye back to life.
In the face of such a thing, even someone like Lu Beichen, who had experienced many storms, could only clutch his chest. He could note back to his senses for a long time.
He came from the countryside in the mountains and had grown up listening to evil stories.
Now, he was witnessing it today.
Cough,cough,cough!
Lin Yi suddenly coughed, startling Song Jinmin and the others.
Are all Huaxian people this mysterious? Mira asked, gripping her arm.
How should I know?
Youre from Rania. You should know about these things, Monica said.
Big sister, at a time like this, can you stop picking on me?
Lin Jingzhan and Lu Beichen stood on the other side.
In the crematorium, the dead were being resurrected. No matter how one looked at it, this was quite scary.
Cough,cough,cough!
Lin Yi coughed again, and the six of them saw Lin Yis pained and conflicted expression. Then
He actually moved his body bit by bit and sat up on the bed.
Alt!
M and Monica screamed so loudly that their throats nearly burst.
Song Jinmin and Gayson werent any better off.
Lin Yi held his forehead. Although he had revived himself through the Survival Against All Odds ability, his body had been lying on the bed for so many days that all the joints in his body seemed to have rusted.
Even the slightest movement was extremely painful.
Seeing the people in the room, Lin Yi felt a little strange.
Logically speaking, he should be at the funeral venue now. Why were there only a few people here?
The key figures did note.
Other than that, he could understand why Lu Beichen was here. But why was Song Jinmin also here?
Lin Yi, youre not dead? Lu Beichen probed.
He could not calm down after witnessing this supernatural phenomenon.
I havent died yet, Lin Yi said.
I was still hanging on by a thread. Perhaps you misunderstood that I was dead because the current medical equipment didnt detect any signs of life.
The few of them did not really believe this, but he was indeed not dead. The truth was right in front of them, so they had no choice but to believe it.
This could only be interpreted as a supernatural phenomenon.
Its good that youre not dead. If you were anyter, youd have been cremated.
Lin Yis body also felt a chill. If he was wheeled into the cremation furnace, he would really die.
However, Lin Yis gaze quicklynded on Lin Jingzhan before he started sizing him up.
He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from this person.
Stop staring. Hes your father, Lin Jingzhan.
My, my father
Lin Yi was stunned and didnt say anything for a long time.
Lin Jingzhan was also stunned. He could still be calm when facing corpses, but now that Lin Yi was alive, he didnt know how to face their rtionship.
Youve been missing for so many years, but youre still able to attend my funeral. At least you have some sense of responsibility, Lin Yi said awkwardly.
You were gone, so naturally I had toe and pay respects. After all, youre my son. Lin Jingzhan said.
But this meeting is a little abrupt.
Thats right. Why are you guys the only ones here to send me off?
Theyre all outside. I noticed the changes in your body in advance, so I brought you here.
Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at Song Jinmin and the rest.
Wiry are they here?
They carried you in.
Lin Yi looked at the dark-skinned Gayson.
Was this the legendary ck coffin-bearer?

Chapter 1834- Humans Cant Be Too Pretentious
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Did you carry me here so that I wouldnt scare the others?
Lu Beichen looked at Lin Jingzhan. This was also what he wanted to ask.
Previously, he had said he wanted to arrange for Lin Yi to fake his death. However, Lu Beichen wanted to know why.
Lin Jingzhan pulled over a chair and lit a cigarette.
Youre the person involved in this matter. Do you know who the murderer is?
Lin Yi shrugged. I dont know, but I suspect the Wang family.
Firstly, I dont have any enemies outside the country. They must be from within Huaxia.
Secondly, other than the Wang family, I cant think of anyone among the big families in the country who has the ability to obtain so many ores.
Thirdly, this is a huge and meticulous n. It has been going on for several months. I think Wang Tingshan is the only one who has the ability to pull this off.
Fourth, the other party has nted spies in the Central Guards Brigade. Ordinary people wouldnt be able to pull this off. Moreover, I have a grudge with them. For all these various reasons, I feel that its the Wang family, but I dont have evidence.
Lin Jingzhan did not say anything and looked at Lu Beichen. Thetter thought for a few seconds.
You want him to fake his death, then secretly take revenge on the Wang family?
Lin Jingzhan and Lu Beichen didnt dismiss Lin Yis spection because they shared the same thoughts.
However, Lu Beichen quickly guessed Lin Jingzhans intentions.
Thats pretty much the idea. With something this big, we have to find the culprit, Lin Jingzhan said.
I originally nned to handle it myself, but since he suddenly came back to life, its more fitting for him to do it.
Don t underestimate the Wang family. If something goes wrong, I wont be able to protect him, Lu Beichen cautioned.
Thats not a big issue. You just need to help cover up whats happening right now. Well handle the rest, Lin Jingzhan replied.
Take it easy, both of you. This matter is no small thing.
Having lived so long, Lu Beichen had never been afraid of much.
But this time, he was genuinely concerned.
This father-son duo, each fearless in their own right, were now teaming up to handle this situation.
Lu Beichen couldnt help but feel a chill.
During the cremation process, a single person would be responsible for the cremation of the body while ail the rtives and friends would gather outside. When the ashes were taken out, the matter would be consideredpleted.
At this moment, Liu Hong and Team i of the Central Guards Brigade went to the Zhou familys side and tried tofort them.
They already knew about Zhou Liangs miserable state during the autopsy.
Lin Yi was indeed miserable, but it was nothingpared to Zhou Liang.
At the same time, in a corner of the crematorium, Qin Yingyue called Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu to the side.
Although the two of them were in a very bad state, they slowly epted reality. The dead could not be resurrected. Even if they did not want to ept it, there was no other way.
She looked at the thin-faced Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu.
There were a few times when Qin Yingyue wanted to say something but hesitated. She wanted to say something but did not know where to start.
She felt that he had let them down.
Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it. Nothings changed between us, said Ji Qingyan.
Ive already heard about what happened to the three of you. This is all my sons fault. He let you down. As his mother, I didnt do my duty to educate him and made you suffer.
Qin Yingyue bowed to the two of them. This made Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu feel ttered. They quickly reached out to help her up.
However, during this process, their hands touched, making them shrink back as if they had been electrocuted.
Auntie, dont say that. This is between us. It has nothing to do with you, said
Ji Qingyan.
But it s indeed my son who has let you down. I apologize on his behalf, Qin Yingyue said sadly.
Now that hes like this, I shamelessly called you all here, hoping you wont
hold anything against him. After all, hes gone.
No, we wont we wont
Hes gone
Those words deeply pierced the hearts of the two women.
Upon receiving the news, Ji Qingyan let go of all the grudges she had held.
But every time she thought about it, she was heartbroken, unable to control her tears.
She could try to ept Lin Yi leaving her for another woman.
But now, all her feelings-love, hate, and everything in between -were pent up inside her. No matter what, she would never see him again.
She loved deeply, she loved sincerely.
But in the end, she couldnt have him.
With your words, I feel much more at ease.
Qin Yingyue hugged the two of them as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing uncontrobly.
At the same time, three taxis drove in from outside.
Qi Xianzhao, Tian Yan, Yan Ci, and several executives of Lingyun Group got out of the car one after another and jogged towards He Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan, whats going on? Why did something happen to President Lin?
1 he news of Lin Yis death was not announced to the public. Instead, the Wang family secretly announced it online, causing a huge uproar.
Only then did Qi Xianzhao and the others learn about this.
They didnt believe it at first, so they called He Yuanyuan and got confirmation
from her. They took a ne to Yanjing immediately.
For Qi Xianzhao, his leg was still in a cast when he rushed over to Yanjing.
As for Yan Ci, because they had worked together before, after hearing the news,s he called Qi Xianzhao. After confirming the news, she rushed over and boarded the same ne.
Brother Qi
Seeing Qi Xianzhao, He Yuanyuan grabbed the corner of his shirt and started crying again.
She didnt say anything. She just kept crying. She couldnt control herself.
Qi Xianzhao and the others looked at the crematorium building in front of them as if they were in a daze. They did not speak for a long time and only cried silently.
In another corner, Wang Ying was wearing sunsses and a mask. She blended into the crowd without being noticed by Ji Qingyan.
She had seen the news online, so she set aside all her work and ran over.
No one told her personally that Lin Yi was dead.
However, Ji Qingyans tears already revealed the truth.
Wang Ying went to an empty corner and buried her head between her legs. Her broken emotions were like a flood that broke the dam and drowned her in an instant.
Soon, someone walked out of the building and informed Lin Yis family that the cremation waspleted. Now, it was time to sort out the ashes.
For ordinary people, during this stage, they typically have little choice. The staff would pick and choose, then hand the remains to the family.
But Lin Yi was different. The entire selection process was up to the familys wishes.
At that moment, a ck ord drove out of the crematorium.
How do you feel now? Song Jinmin, who was driving, asked.
People shouldnt brag too much. Always boasting about sending this person or that person to the crematorium. Now look, before anything happened to anyone else, I ended up sending myself here..

Chapter 1835: Lin Yi Is Cremated
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
I heard that in Huaxia, after a person dies, they have to eat and receive gifts. These friends of yours are probably quite rich. After you die, you can collect tens of millions.
Sigh, sigh, sigh. No matter what, youre still my fathers subordinate. If this were in ancient times, 1 would be considered your young master. Can you be more respectful to me? Do 1ck tens of millions?
No matter how small a mosquitos leg is, its still meat, Song Jinmin said with a cigarette in his mouth. Ill bring you a pork knuckle when we have the banquetter.
Forget the banquet for now, lets handle the important stuff first.
Alright.
Song Jinmin drove ording to Lin Yis instructions, heading towards Water Wrapped Hot Springs.
At the crematorium, after collecting the ashes, Zhao Quanfeng carried them out.
With that, all of Lin Yis funeral arrangements werepleted.
They did not bother with the banquet and gifts.
Because those attending the memorial were so wealthy, the usual customs were skipped.
However, ording to Zhao Quanfeng and Wang Cuiping, given the number of people who came, they had to prepare at least a few tables of food.
After all, it was already noon, and people still needed to eat.
But those who came to pay their respects declined the invitation.
No one had the heart to eat now.
Because of this, the elderly couple didnt insist further. They didnt have the energy to manage such things anyway.
As everyone left, the family stood at the main entrance, thanking each guest individually. Although it was simple, all the necessary courtesies were observed.
After leaving the crematorium, Ji Qingyan and the others returned to the hotel.
Ever since she left the crematorium, she had been hugging Lin Yis ashes, unwilling to let go.
Zhao Quanfu and Wang Cuiping wanted to ce the ashes in Zhonghai.
In the end, Ji Qingyan rejected her.
Lin Yis hometown was in Yangcheng, so it was better to return to his roots.
With the Central Guards Brigades status in the military, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang could be ced in the Martyrs Cemetery.
After staying in the hotel for a while, everyone calmed down a little and prepared to return to Yangcheng.
At the same time, Lin Yi and Song Jinmin had already finished bathing and were waiting for the technicians service in the private room.
Lin Yi ced his hands behind his head. There was no expression on his face, and his mood wasplicated.
Because on the way here, he had heard something.
Her rtionship with Liang Ruoxu had been exposed, and Ji Qingyan already knew about it.
This made Lin Yi unable to calm down for a long time.
He had been thinking of ways to deal with this matter in a bnced manner.
Now, before he could think of a solution, he was first exposed.
Because of this, Lin Yi was even more certain that the Wang family was behind this.
Most people would not be able to hide it from him and secretly take photos of Liang Ruoxu, nor would they have a motive.
The Wang family fulfilled all the conditions. After he died, they would expose this matter and ruin his reputation.
This n was really sinister.
Although he could escape for a while now, he still had to go back in a few days. He did not know how to face this matter.
Or rather, how should he face Ji Qingyan?
To be honest, I realized that you have quite a lot of connections. You seem to be quite popr.
While enjoying the massage, Song Jinmin said with a smile.
What happened?
Look at this. This news is already online.
Lin Yi took Song Jinmins phone, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Mr. Lin, I wish you the best of luck. All the technicians of Zhonghais Huaqing Lake salute you.
Have a safe journey, President Lin. 1 wish you a blissful journey Zhonghai Yingzun Waterfall Technician No. 18.
May Heaven have no illnesses and pains. May President Lins magnanimityst forever. All the staff of Zhonghai Bathing Valley salute him.
Thank you, President Lin, for giving me a home. I will always remember President Lins death. You will always live in our hearts. All the technicians of Zhonghai Happy Meal salute you.
Lin Yis expression was ugly. He scrolled down and found that there were a total of more than twenty bath centers with corresponding banners.
Lin Yi didnt know what to say. It was true that he had supported them, but they didnt have to be so high-profile.
And this series of events even reached the trending searches.
Who is President Lin of Zhonghai?
Moreover, there was a very popr discussion on the post.
May I ask how much President Lins departure has affected Zhonghais bathing business?
F*ck, these people are so bored that they ruined my good reputation.
The prosperity of Zhonghais bathing industry is inseparable from your support, Song Jinmin said.
I was wondering why I found you pleasing to the eye from the first time 1 saw you. I didnt expect us to be kindred spirits.
Likewise.
In the Wang family vi, Wang Tingshan and Chen Chufeng were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea. The former looked at his watch and said,
At this point, the memorial service is probably over.
Well, this doesnt have much to do with us anymore. Once Lin Yi dies, this matter will be over. Chen Chufeng said.
But over the next few years, the Wang family will still have to hide their strength and bide their time. As long as Lu Beichen is still alive, we cant make any big moves.
Wang Tingshan nodded. Its all thanks to Lin Yi that the Wang family is where they are today. I just regret not killing him earlier.
Fate has its own timing. What is meant to be will happen, and what isnt meant to be shouldnt be forced. It may seemte, but its all part of destiny. We should ept it with a calm heart.
It would have been better to kill him face to face. Doing it this way doesnt feel satisfying, Wang Mian said.
Great achievers dont sweat the small stuff. As long as the oue is correct, thats all that matters.
Understood, Elder Chen.
Creak
As the three talked, the sound of brakes came from outside. Li Mi hurried in, his steps brisk.
Master, theres a problem at the memorial. Lin Jingzhan has returned.
What did you say? Lin Jingzhan has returned?
Wang Tingshan shot up from his chair, his face dark with anger.
Chen Chufeng, on the other hand, although not as visibly agitated as Wang Tingshan, reacted with a grim expression. The name Lin Jingzhan was like a forbidden taboo!
If Lin Jingzhan hadnt left back then, Yanjing might not be in its current state. Lin Yi is really his son?
Li Mi nodded.
Qin Family, Zhao Family, Gu Family, Lu Family, and Sun Family went there to make a scene after learning of Lin Yis death. However, Lin Jingzhan appeared and suppressed the five families so much that they didnt dare to raise their heads. Not only did he make them bow on the spot, but he also made Qin Yinglong kneel on the ground.
When he spoke, Li Mi was very calm because he was young and did not know what had happened back then.
However, Wang Tingshan and Chen Chufeng were different.
Even though more than 20 years had passed, that period of dominance still could not be erased from their hearts..

Hes been missing for so many years. I didnt expect Lin Yis death to make him resurface, Wang Tingshan narrowed his eyes and said.
Dad, I heard you mention this person before. He seems to be very powerful.
Will there be any problem with this matter?
Originally, Wang Mian did not know about this person. It was only recently that he heard the elders in his family talking about the past that he learned about Lin Jingzhan.
He also knew how glorious he was in Yanjing back then.
He was even more impressive than the current Lin Yi.
If such a person came back, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
I dont think so. Yanjing is no longer the same as it was 20 years ago. It s impossible for him to control everything here!
Wang Tingshan looked at Li Mi. Other than that, what else did you find?
He must have been doing well overseas all these years. His subordinates are all foreigners, and theyre quite bold. They even dared to pull out their guns against the five great families. This needs to be noted.
Chen Chufeng blew on the hot teacup and said indifferently,
If Lu Beichen wasnt backing him up, he probably wouldnt dare to do this.
This is Huaxia. After so many years has passed, its no longer a ce for him to behave atrociously.
Master, what should we do next?
Investigate further and see if there are any loopholes in this matter. Try not to give yourself away, Wang Tingshan said leisurely, as if he was not worried at all.
Li Mis expression changed slightly. Master, theres actually something that
Ive been wanting to say.
Its fine. Just say it openly.
Even if we dont reveal anything, it will arouse suspicion. Li Mi said.
In the entire Huaxia, there are no more than three families who have the ability to do such a thing. In addition, we have a grudge with Lin Yi, so we have a motive to attack him. Lu Beichen is a smart person. I think he might suspect
us.
Ive already thought of this. Wang Tingshan said,
Theres no such thing as an imprable wall in this world. Us doing this would definitely arouse suspicion. Theres no doubt about it, but 1 didnt leave any evidence behind. Lu Beichen cant use me of doing it, let alone make a move against me. Although my Wang family has fallen, were still one of the top five families in Huaxia. No one can punish me.
Understood.
Go. Continue to keep an eye on whats going on over there and report back.
Got it!
At two oclock in the afternoon, their nended at Yangcheng Airport.
Other than Lin Yis family, Liang Ruoxu also came.
This was thest step. No matter what, she had toplete it.
Other than that, there were also people from the Central Guards Brigade who wanted to send him off for thest time.
However, Liu Hong and Qiu Yuluo did not go to Yangcheng. Instead, they went to Chuansheng.
As the representatives of the Central Guards Brigade, they still had to visit
Zhou Liangs family and attend his funeral.
After getting off the ne, the group arrived at the Martyrs Cemetery. With Yang Guangxias arrangements, every thing went smoothly and there were no obstacles.
After the ashes were buried, everyone went forward to bow and pay their respects.
There seemed to be no more ill feelings between Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu. Just like what Qin Yingyue had said, he was already dead, so what was the point of caring so much?
Lin Jingzhan, who was standing in the back row, pursed his lips.
This dog was quite popr.
After more than two hours, all the procedures had beenpleted.
Dozens of people left the venue dejectedly.
The wind in the cemetery was a little bleak. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, the atmosphere was exceptionally oppressive.
After everyone left, there was no left one in front of Lin Yis grave.
About half an hourter, Wang Ying walked over quietly in ck.
She knew her identity very well. She was Lin Yis lover.
This identity could not be revealed in public, so she could onlye secretly.
You b*stard! Why did you go so silently?!
Wang Ying slumped in front of Lin Yis tombstone, tears streaming down her face.
If you leave, how am 1 going to live?
To everyone, life, old age, illness, and death were all eptable.
However, Lin Yi left too suddenly without a sound.
She was not prepared at all. The sudden bad news caught everyone off guard. Wang Ying didnt want to leave Lin Yis tombstone for a long time. She didnt leave until the garden was about to close.
Yanjing, Water Wrapped Hot Springs.
Lin Yi and Song Jinmin didnt go anywhere for the entire afternoon.
They kept extending their time in the private room, ordering food when hungry and thoroughly enjoying themselves, feeling a sense of camaraderie.
After finishing thest session, Song Jinmin checked his watch and saw that it was already past ten.
Its about time. Lets get to work.
Song Jinmin raised his ss, clinked it with Lin Yis, and they both downed the remaining half bottle of beer. Stretching, they left the bathhouse, got into their car, and headed towards the Wang family residence.
At the same time, in the Wang familys vi, only the light in the study was still on.
Wang Mian had already gone to rest, but Wang Tingshan and Chen Chufeng were still there.
Looks like Lin Jingzhan is really finished. He actually left just like that, Chen Chufeng sighed.
I think it was Lu Beichen who gave in. Wang Tingshan said.
With his status, he must have secretly brought him here to Huaxia. He definitely cant stay in Huaxia forever.
Lin Jingzhan is really lonely. Chen Chufeng sighed and said,
With Lin Jingzhans arrogant and despotic personality, if it was the old him, even if Lu Beichen had spoken, he wouldnt have left just like that after such a big thing happened.
Thats what I thought too. I originally wanted to make some preparations, but now, he just left. Wang Tingshan lit a cigarette and looked a little emotional. The wheel of fate sure turns. He was so arrogant back then, and now hes so pathetic. His son is dead, and he slinks away like this. Hes no longer the Lin Jingzhan of the past.
Ive analyzed it. Hes just riding on the remnants of his old reputation, unting in Yanjing. Hes no longer as formidable as he once was. Isnt that the truth? Elder Chen, its gettingte. Lets rest, Wang Tingshan said as he stood up.
Lin Jingzhan has left, so theres no need to waste any more thoughts on him.
Lets go.
Wang Tingshan walked over and helped Chen Chufeng up to the guest room at the side.
The lights in the corridor on the second floor were off. Wang Tingshan was about to turn on the lights when he heard footstepsing up the stairs.
This made the two of them feel even more puzzled and nervous.
There were only three people in the house. His son was already resting, so where did the footstepse from?
Who would dare to barge into the Wang familys home?
Soon, they saw a dark figure at the top of the stairs.
Under the moonlight, they saw a face!
Lin Yis face!

Chapter 1837: Losing Control
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor EndlessFantasy Trantion
Whoosh!
Chen Chufeng was so frightened that he copsed to the ground.
He clutched his chest and panted heavily.
He was old and had a weak heart. This was not something he could bear.
Lin Lin Yi
Chen Chufeng was scared out of his wits, and Wang Tingshan was no better.
Lin Yi was clearly dead, but they were looking at him in their house.
They could not ept such a strange phenomenon.
Whats wrong? Are you surprised to see me here?
Lin Yi said coldly.
You, are you a human or a ghost? Why are you here
You killed me. Isnt it natural for me to seek revenge on you
This, this is all your own fault!
Wang Tingshan said loudly, Its all because of you that our Wang family has be like this. Moreover, you broke my sons leg. You have to take responsibility for all of this!
So you arranged this n to kill me, right?
You deserve to die
Wang Tingshan stopped mid-sentence.
After a short moment of panic, he regained hisposure.
Because he saw Lin Yis shadow on the ground!
Youre not dead!
Youre not stupid.
Lin Yi was not surprised at all. He couldnt scare a person like Wang Tingshan by pretending to be mysterious.
However, it was good enough to get these words out of him.
Impossible! Youve already been blown up. How could youe back to life?! I was just in a bad state, so everyone thought 1 was dead. Lin Yi said lightly.
Now that Ive recovered, I naturally have toe and talk to you.
Cold sweat drenched the back of Wang Tingshans clothes. He had a premonition that something was wrong.
This matter might have been a show put on by Lu Beichen and Lin Jingzhan!
He had been deceived!
So what if you came back to life? This is the Wang family home, not a ce you can just barge into!
Wang Tingshan said, Ill give you three seconds to leave this ce. Otherwise, youll have to bear the consequences!
If you think that the trash outside could stop me, do you think I can still appear here?
You, you actually!
Wang Tingshan took a step back. Lin Yi, you better know what youre doing.
You know my identity. If you dare to do anything treasonous, even Lu Beichen wont be able to bear this crime!
Im already a dead person. Who would suspect that a dead person woulde to kill you?
You
Ssh Ssh
At this moment, the sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom.
This sudden voice startled the two of them.
At this moment, they could no longer suppress their nervousness.
Were almost ready. Its time to send you on your way.
You, what are you doing!
Youll know soon enough!
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, two ck shadows jumped out from behind, covered their mouths, and dragged them to the bathroom.
Not long after, Song Jinmin walked out of the bathroom.
Did you find it?
Its all here.
Song Jinmin was wearing gloves and holding three mobile phones.
Wang Tingshans phone should be the most valuable. Lets see if there s anything important inside.
Lin Yi nodded and turned on the camera function, opening his contact list.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes when he saw the contents.
He saw two familiar names.
Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu!
Suddenly, all the issues were solved.
Cao Jiadu was a spy in the Central Guards Brigade!
Chen Guanjie, on the other hand, was the one who fired the ck gun in the dark!
The two men, one inside and one outside, tightly controlled their movements. Only with their cooperation,bined with Wang Tingshansmand, could they execute this n so wlessly.
Lin Yi exhaled heavily, feeling that the truth had finallye to light. He then copied Wang Tingshan and Chen Chufengs emails,pleting his preparatory work.
I need to take Wang Tingshans phone. It will be crucialter.
Song Jinmin thought for a moment and then nodded.
An ordinary person might not hesitate, thinking it was just a phone.
But for a professional like Song Jinmin, it was different.
These were items belonging to the deceased, and any missing piece could raise suspicion.
In his n, these items were part of the evidence setting the scene. If Wang Tingshans phone was missing, it might create a w, so he hesitated.
Lets go. Lets deal with them first.
After discussing the follow-up, the two of them entered the washroom. Other than Wang Tingshan and Chen Chufeng, Lin Yi also saw Wang Mian! However, his mouth was already sealed as he watched Wang Tingshan and Chen Chufeng being brought in with dead expressions.
Song Jinmin lit a cigarette. Its about time. Lets get down to business.
Then, one of the men took out a syringe and gave Wang Tingshan an injection.
What is this?
Drugs, Song Jinmin said.
This way, it can create the illusion of hallucinations, making the authorities believe he had a delusion and identally fell into the river. It would be logical and reasonable, Lin Yi exined.
Lin Yi gave him a thumbs up. Youre really skilled at this kind of thing. Youre a professional.
I learned from the best.
The three captives stared wide-eyed, unable to speak due to the tape over their mouths, only making muffled sounds of fear. The more their captors remained silent, the more it confirmed their deadly intent.
Lin Yi squatted down, looking at Wang Tingshan.
I think our conflict started as a business rivalry. You were outmatched and lost to me. Although it seemed like I won big, Lingyun Group also took a significant hit, so it was a give-and-take situation.
Butst winter, 1 really dont know what got into you. You secretly directed Sun Manlou to try to kill me. That vendetta became one that couldnt be resolved peacefully. So, I broke your sons leg, which deepened your hatred for me.
As they say, A generals sess is built on a mountain of bones. I understand you wanted me dead, but do you realize that my partner also died because of your actions?
Lin Yis expression changed. Like a ferocious beast, he grabbed Wang Tingshans hair and turned his head over!
His limbs were broken, and his nails and teeth were pulled out
Song Jinmin stood at the side and didnt move. He heard Lin Yis voicee out choked.
He apanied me there. This wasnt a Central Guards Brigades mission. He wasted his life in Panem because of me Dong, dong, dong!
Lin Yi grabbed Wang Tingshans head and mmed it against the wall behind him. The suppressed anger in his heart erupted like a volcano!
He lost his mind and could no longer control his emotions.
Do you know that he was only 25 years old this year?! Hes the only son in the Zhou family! How am I supposed to answer to his parents?! How am I supposed to answer to them?!

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Wuwuwu
Wang Tingshan wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth was sealed and he could not speak at all.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi had no intention of letting him go.
Lin Yi!
Seeing that the situation was turning sour, Song Jinmin stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yis arm. He had lost control. If this continued, he would end up killing all three of them.
Let go of me!
Thock!
Song Jinmin straightened his fingers into a knife and chopped at Lin Yis neck. Thetter fainted, and the vi returned to silence.
Lets get to work. Itll be toote if we dawdle any longer. When we leaveter, dont forget to take their phones with you.
When Lin Yi woke up, it was already past eight in the morning.
It was clear just how hard Song Jinmin had hit him.
Sitting next to him wasnt Song Jinmin, but Lu Beichen.
Elder Lu, oh my god, it hurts.
Lin Yi rubbed the back of his neck. It felt like a heavy truck had run over it.
Move slowly. The Wang family matters have been dealt with. The authorities have reported it without much publicity and arent pursuing it further. Because of the drugs?
Lu Beichen nodded.
The Wang family has stated they will pursue the matter, but with Wang Tingshan dead, the remaining members cant cause much trouble.
After a long silence, Lin Yi said gratefully,
Elder Lu, thank you.
Lin Yi knew that the reason this matter did not cause an uproar was not because it had been done so secretly, but because Lu Beichen had dealt with it well in the dark.
At the national level, its the same. With Wang Tingshans status, an incident like this would undoubtedly cause significant upheaval.
If it werent for Lu Beichen, Lin Yi was certain that this matter wouldnt have been resolved so quietly.
But regardless, youre safe now. No one will suspect you.
Actually, I didnt do much. The key is that you handled it cleanly, leaving no evidence behind. Even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldnt find anything, Lu Beichen said with a smile. When ites to eliminating witnesses, you still have some way to gopared to your father.
Hes a seasoned rogue, and Im a patriotic entrepreneur. We cant bepared.
Lu Beichen burst intoughter. If he heard you say that, hed probablye over and beat you up.
Lin Yiughed as well, the atmosphere lightening considerably. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took his phone out of his pocket.
Look at this.
What?
After taking Lin Yis phone, Lu Beichen saw the contents and his expression changed.
His thoughts coincided with Lin Yis.
I didnt expect them to do such a thing.
Im sure youve already guessed it.
I suspect Chen Guanjie, but 1 didnt think of Cao Jiadu. Im quite surprised. This is negligence on my part.
Lu Beichen was a proud person. Such a thing had happened during his tenure. This was a poor showing of his abilities.
Where is Chen Guanjie? Is he still on Tilia Ind?
ording to the Central Guards Brigades tasks, he should still be on the ind. However, after something like this had happened, its hard to say where hes secretly run to. Lu Beichen said.
Now that something like this has happened to the Wang family, 1 believe it wont be long before he rushes back.
Lin Yi nodded. He thought so too.
Chen Guanjie was inextricably linked to the Wang family.
Therefore, he would definitely return to Yanjing soon to attend Wang Tingshans funeral.
Lin Yi didnt have to do much. All he had to do was wait.
As for Wang Tingshans phone, this was important evidence.
If he could find contact records with foreigners in hismunication records, then the charges against him would be huge.
For the next ten hours, Lin Yi didnt go anywhere. He stayed in the inner base of the Central Guards Brigade.
asionally, he would go out because he couldnt stay idle, but he would cover himself up very tightly. He would cover himself with hats, sunsses, and masks.
When possible, he avoided using the door and went through the window, ensuring no one noticed him.
The next morning, around eight, Lin Yi, who had spent the night at the bathhouse, received a call from Lu Beichen, informing him that Chen Guanjie had returned to Yanjing and that he should head back to the Central Guard Brigade base.
Stretching, Lin Yi geared up and prepared to return to the base.
Taking a taxi back to the Central Guard Brigade, Lin Yi circled to the shaded side, finding the blind spot of the surveince cameras, and prepared to jump in.
In a ce like the Central Guard Brigade, there shouldnt be any blind spots in surveince. However, someone had manually adjusted the cameras, leaving a space about two meters wide, allowing him toe and go unnoticed.
Dont move!
Just as Lin Yi was about to climb over the wall, he heard amand from behind.
He turned around and realized that the person who spoke was Qiu Yuluo!
Besides her, Liu Hong and Ning Che were also by her side.
After the cremation ceremony waspleted, Liu Hong and Qiu Yuluo went to Chuansheng while Ning Che went to Yangcheng.
However, after the matter in Chuansheng was over, Liu Hong and Qiu Yuluo also returned to Yangcheng. They ced a bouquet of flowers in front of Lin Yis tombstone and looked at him onest time.
After dealing with the matters in Yang City, the three of them took a ne back to Yanjing.
Firstly, this matter had already been settled, so there was no point in staying in Yangcheng anymore.
Secondly, Wang Tingshan and Wang Mians idental deaths caused quite a stir, so they rushed back.
However, what was interesting was that as soon as they returned to the Central Guards Brigade, they saw a person sneaking towards the back door of the headquarters.
Moreover, he had even covered his face. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
The three of them felt that this was quite interesting. After so many years, this was the first time they had seen someone do such a thing in the Central Guards Brigades base.
Lin Yi scratched his head and looked at Liu Hong and the other two helplessly.
He was considered a dead person, but he had met the three of them on such an asion. It was too awkward.
Let me tell you, this is a secret base of the Huaxian military. Your actions have already vited thew, with sentences starting at ten years. You cant escape now. Take off your sunsses and mask. Dont wait for us to take action.
This is a misunderstanding. Im leaving now. Bye.
You want to leave?
Qiu Yuluo raised her eyebrows and said,
Do you think this is a ce where you cane and go as you please? Youd better cooperate obediently, or the consequences will be even worse.
Um are you sure you want me to take off my mask and sunsses?
What do you think? Are you waiting for me to make a move?
Lin Yi knew that he wouldnt be able to escape if the three of them caught him red-handed, so he stopped struggling.
And so
Lin Yi slowly took off his sunsses and mask..

Chapter 1839: Walking Into the Trap
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor EndlessFantasy Trantion
Time and space seemed to have stopped at this moment.
AH!
Ghosts!
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che screamed in unison. They were so frightened that they hid behind Liu Hong.
The three of them stopped talking. They could even hear themselves gulping.
The expression on their faces was one of extreme confusion.
Who, who are you? Liu Hong probed.
Liu Hong was also stunned.
Lin Yi had clearly been cremated, but now, he had actually appeared in front of them.
What was going on?
Do you have any grievances? Liu Hong asked.
Well definitely help you take revenge. Well give you justice. Dont stay here while refusing to leave. Ill burn some paper for youter and burn dozens of girls. Hurry up and leave.
Lin Yi,
Damn it, youre the leader of the Central Guards Brigade. You cant be so superstitious!
Calm down. Lin Yi opened his hand and said.
Im not dead. Theres still a shadow under my feet.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were so frightened that their faces turned pale. We were the ones who sent you to be cremated. We even took out your ashes. How could you not be dead?
That was a fake death arranged by Elder Lu. Because I had other things to do,
he didnt expose my identity.
With that, Lin Yi pointed at his feet. Theres still a shadow. How could I be a dead person?
The three of them looked over in unison and indeed saw the shadow under Lin Yis feet.
Their flustered expressions improved slightly.
But the hospital said you were already dead. There shouldnt be any mistakes in that regard, right? Ning Che said.
I was still breathing at the time; maybe the machines didnt pick it up, Lin Yi replied.
Besides, we all know how to use our dantian for strength inbat. Our physical condition is better, so I gradually recovered.
Lin Yi wasnt sure how to exin it, so he used this excuse to get by.
The trios mood seemed to improve a bit.
At the very least, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were not as scared anymore.
Ning Che, gathering her courage, walked over to Lin Yi and poked him with her finger, finding nothing unusual.
Only then did she truly believe that Lin Yi was alright and had reallye back to life.
Boss, youre really not dead. Youre a normal person, not a ghost.
Lin Yi,
What kind of adjectives were these?
But as she spoke, Ning Che started crying.
She punched and kicked Lin Yi.
-You scared us to death! Why didnt you tell us you were alive?
Lin Yi was a little upset. Although the two of them only shared a little bit of romance, Lin Yi was touched to see her cry like this.
Beside him, Qiu Yuluo also quietly wiped her tears. Although it was not as intense as Ning Ches, her excitement was indescribable. Tears were the best answer to the current situation.
Even Liu Hongs eyes were a little red.
-Its good that youre alive. Liu Hong stepped forward excitedly and patted Lin Yis shoulder. Although there was still a wound on his face, it was not a big deal.
The main thing was that he was fine.
Youve been in Yanjing this whole time. Is there any update?
Ive already found out who the mole and the person who fired the gun from the dark is. I came over to prepare to interrogate them.
Huh?
Lin Yis words shocked the three of them. They didnt expect to find the other party so quickly.
Who? Liu Hong asked seriously.
As the leader of the fourbat units of the Central Guards Brigade, he was especially concerned about this matter.
Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu.
Both of them!
The three of them had different expressions and were surprised.
If Lin Yi hadnt it, they wouldnt have associated it with them.
If the person behind this is Chen Guanjie, then this matter is very likely rted to the Wang family.
Liu Hong knew about theplicatedworks in Yanjing.
Chen Guanjie was a close rtive of the Wang family. Other than Wang Tingshan, there was no one else who could order him around.
Smart. Thats spot on.
Liu Hongs expression was a little conflicted as he pondered and said,
If this matter is rted to the Wang family, but Wang Tingshan has already Halfway through his sentence, Liu Hong raised his head and looked at Lin Yi. His meaning was self-evident.
But Lin Yi only smiled and didnt say anything.
There were some things that didnt need to be said too clearly. As long as it was pointed out, everyone understood.
Liu Hongs heart raced as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
He knew the Wang familys status very well. If Lin Yi really did this in secret, then the impact would be no less than a world war.
He had actually killed Wang Tingshan. Liu Hong had never even dreamed of such a thing.
Lets go, Boss Liu. This is not the ce to talk. Lets go in first, Ning Che called out.
I cant go through the front door. Well split up. Well contact each other by phone afterward.
Do you have a cell phone?
Its all made up.
Thats good.
After a brief chat, the four of them split up and entered the Central Guard Brigade base.
About twenty minutester, a Great Wall SUV pulled up at the entrance of the base.
Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu got out of the car.
Both had attended Wang Tingshans farewell ceremony in the morning. After receiving the order from the Central Guard Brigade, they came here together. Neither of them took Lu Beichens summons lightly. Their faces were serious as they pondered the deaths of Wang Tingshan, his son, and Chen Chufeng. Do you think it could have been an ident? Cao Jiadu asked.
Absolutely not, Chen Guanjie replied.
-They all had drivers, so they wouldnt have been driving themselves. And Brother Wang wouldnt touch that stuff, so hallucinations are out of the question. It was clearly the work of a murderer.
After a few seconds of silence, Cao Jiadu slowly said, Is it possible that Lin Jingzhan did this?
It couldnt be anyone else.
Chen Guanjie sighed. Weve nned everything, but we didnt consider Lin Jingzhan. I thought he was dead or doing badly outside. I didnt expect him to still be alive and in this state. Weve miscalcted.
Will our rtionship be exposed? Cao Jiadu was a little worried.
Dont worry, thats impossible, Chen Guanjie said confidently.
They acted because they didnt know who the killer was, but the Wang family was the most likely suspect, so they took action. Now, without any evidence, they cant point the finger at us. Just stay calm.
Cao Jiadu nodded. Before this, he also believed it was unlikely that they would be med, as every step they took was well-hidden and couldnt be discovered. Now that Chen Guanjie confirmed it, he felt even more assured.
Im curious, though. Why did Lu Beichen call us here?
It should be for a major meeting, Chen Guanjie replied.
-With such a significant incident, the Central Guard Brigade will definitely need to conduct an internal review. Thats likely why weve been summoned back. Its probably rted to Lin Yi and a series of ns for revenge, and they need our participation for that..
Chapter 1840: Confrontation
Chapter 1840: Confrontation
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
I think the internal summary is fake. The real goal is to avenge Lin Yi, Cao Jiadu said.
Chen Guanjie nodded, agreeing with Cao Jiadu.
Lu Beichen really likes him. Not only did he participate in his funeral, but he also wants to avenge him. Isnt this a little biased?
Back then, he let Wang Mian leave without any fanfare. Its obvious how much he likes Lin Yi, Cao Jiadu said.
At this stage, if it werent for him, the Wang family wouldnt have declined so quickly. He dared to do this because he ced all his money on Lin Yi. Now, this person he nurtured as his future sessor has died just like that. He definitely wont let this matter rest easily.
Actually, theres no reason to fear Lu Beichen. Were all secretly handling this matter. No one knows about this matter and it has something to do with us. However, its hard to say what will happen with Lin Jingzhan. We have to be careful.
I dont think we have to care about Lin Jingzhan. No matter how powerful he is, he cant possibly kill the innocent, Cao Jiadu said.
No matter how you look at it, its impossible for him to suspect us. Even he wouldnt do such a thing.
Youre right. Chen Guanjie lit a cigarette. Lets go and take a look first. Lets see what Lu Beichen has to say.
The two of them went up to the third floor of the base, but when they walked in, they saw that the door to Liu Hongs office was open.
They realized that not only was Liu Hong here, but Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were as well.
Old Liu, do you have any arrangements nned with the chief?
When he saw Liu Hong, Cao Jiadu chuckled and said that the two of them had been partners for more than ten years and had a very good rtionship.
No one could tell that the person who secretly betrayed Lin Yi was him.
However, at this moment, Liu Hong looked at this old friend who had gone through life and death with him and felt very upset.
Although Lin Yi hadnt explicitly confirmed that Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu were moles, the operation was directed by the seniormander, and he didnt think there would be any mistakes.
The main thing is this current operation. Theyre waiting for you in the office. You should go quickly.
Alright, well head over now. Talkter.
Chen Guanjie and Liu Hong didnt seem to have a good rtionship. They didnt exchange many words upon meeting.
After discussing the important matters, Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu walked towards the office.
Reaching the far end of the third floor, Cao Jiadu pushed the door open. They walked in one after the other and then closed the door behind them.
There was someone sitting at the desk, but the chair was turned so that only the top of their head was visible.
However, it was clear that the person in the chair wasnt Lu Beichen but a young man.
The two exchanged nces, both finding the situation odd.
In the entire Central Guard Brigade, someone of this age wouldnt have the authority to speak to them with their back turned.
Nor would they have the authority to address them on this manner.
Who are you? Chen Guanjie asked.
Who I am is not important. Whats important is rifying the situation.
As he spoke, Lin Yi turned around, causing the two nonchnt people to freeze on the spot.
Especially Cao Jiadu. He staggered and hit the door behind him.
How could it be? Arent you already dead?!
Not to mention Cao Jiadu, even Chen Guanjie was scared speechless for a long time.
Logically speaking, I should be dead, but the heavens have blessed me and left me with a second wind.
Lin Yi crossed his legs and nced at the two of them. The smile on his lips made Cao Jiadu and Chen Guanjie feel terrified.
They had already received clear news that Lin Yi was dead.
Moreover, the cremation procedure had already beenpleted, but now, he had appeared here alive!
They felt that it was terrifying and inconceivable. They didnt know what went wrong.
Why do you have such an expression? Were colleagues after all. Even if we didnt interact much before, you should be happy that Im not dead now, right?
Yes, yes, yes, Im happy.
Cao Jiadu hurriedly agreed, but the cold sweat on his forehead did not stop.
Youre really not bad. You didnt disappoint us. You still survived under such circumstances. As expected of someone personally appointed by Elder Lu. The Central Guards Brigade will depend on you in the future.
Thats a nice way of putting it. Im sure youre disappointed to see me.
Their hearts skipped a beat as they looked at Lin Yi with a scrutinizing gaze.
Why would I be disappointed? I couldnt be happier.
I dont think so. If it werent for the two of you, the two of us wouldnt have fallen to such a state. At this point, theres no point in hiding anymore.
I dont quite understand what youre saying. Cao Jiadu pretended to be calm and said.
Youre the person the Central Guards Brigade is focusing on nurturing. I was hoping that you would return safely. Why do you make it sound like I wanted to kill you?
Lin Yi smiled calmly. He wasnt in a hurry.
I wont talk about Cullen. When we fled to Santa ra, it didnt take long for our pursuers to arrive. How do you exin that?
Exin? What do you want me to exin? Cao Jiadu said.
The pursuers were well-informed. After getting the info, they chased after you. Whats there to exin?
Since you say that the enemy has been well-informed, let me ask you this: why, when I notified Big Boss Liu that we were heading to Santos, did those foreign operatives follow us there? Lin Yi asked patiently.
If their intelligence was that good, would they have gotten the information wrong and ended up in Santos?
Cao Jiadus expression shifted, realizing the gravity of the situation.
When Lin Yi said he was in Santos, it was likely a decoy to mislead the opposition.
In other words, Lin Yi might have suspected there was a mole in the Central Guard Brigade from that moment on.
Thats why he released false information to test his theory.
I dont know about that, Cao Jiadu said, looking at Lin Yi. Why are you asking me these questions? Do you suspect me of being a mole?
Arent you?
What a joke! Cao Jiadu said excitedly.
Liu Hong and I have beenrades for many years, and you are one of his men. How can I do such a thing? Dont talk nonsense here.
You people really wont shed tears until you see the coffin. You wont turn back until you hit the south wall. If I didnt have absolute evidence, why would Ie looking for you?
With that, Lin Yi threw Wang Tingshans phone over.
Your phone records are on it. Other than that, I found some other information. Youll know when you look at it yourself. Were all sensible people. Theres no need to say it out loud. This is just wasting time..
Chapter 1841: She Committed Suicide
Chapter 1841: She Committed Suicide
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion | Editor. EndlessFantasy Trantion
When they saw Wang Tingshans phone, their expressions could not remain calm.
They thought that Wang Tingshan had been killed by Lin Jingzhan, but they never thought that his phone would be taken away!
This was because his phone records were on it!
As a result, everything that they had done would be exposed!
Lin Yi tapped his ear. 1 think that since things havee to this, you guys dont have to hide anymore. You were in charge of delivering thetest news to Wang Tingshan in the Central Guards Brigade, and Chen Guanjie was in charge of firing dirty shots at the front line.
Lin Yi stood up slowly and walked to the two of them.
To be honest, if it werent for the two of you, things wouldnt have ended up like this. Zhou Liang wouldnt have died either. Its all because of you!
Lin Yi raised his leg and kicked Cao Jiadu!
Do you know who you are?!
Cao Jiadu was beaten to the ground, but he did not dare to fight back, nor did he have any intention of fighting back.
This was the Central Guards Brigade. He couldnt leave even if he wanted to.
Hehe
Chen Guanjie, who had been silent all this while, sneered.
I have a rtionship with the Wang family to begin with. So what if there are call records? This doesnt mean anything, right?
Indeed, your reason is valid, Lin Yi said faintly.
But what I want to say is that during the time when I was in trouble, your
Team 4 was operating on Tilia Ind, and you didnt seem to be on the ind.
How do you exin this?
Although Ive never been to the ind, 1 know the rules. Every entry and exit must be recorded by the Central Guard Brigade, and it seems you dont have such records. Can you give me a reasonable exnation for that? Lin Yi asked.
Who do you think you are? Do I owe you any exnations? Chen Guanjie retorted.
It doesnt matter who you report to. 1 just need the truth, Lin Yi said calmly.
Of course, if you cant provide an exnation, this matter will need thorough investigation. You might even face charges of treason. You have a few hours to think about your actions and their consequences. You know better than I do what might happen if you cant exin yourself.
Chen Guanjies face changed as he realized the danger of his situation.
If he could find a suitable excuse, there might be room for negotiation.
But if he couldnt, Lin Yi could use him of anything without needing further evidence.
Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just use me of any crime and deal with me? Im the leader of Team 4! Chen Guanjie snapped.
Since you put it that way, let me ask you, who do you think you are? Lin Yi responded coldly.
Youre a member of the Wang family. The moment the Wang family fell, you were on our list for elimination. Do you really think your achievements give you immunity? We just havent found the right reason yet. Were all just cogs in the machine. If one fails, it gets reced. Dont overestimate your importance.
Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu fell silent.
Their bodies started trembling, implicitly admitting their wrongdoing.
Lin Yi, I admit 1 lost my way. Could you please ask Old Lu for mercy and give me another chance? Cao Jiadu pleaded, gripping Lin Yis arm, tears streaming down his face.
Ill hand over everything, just dont sentence me to death. Please, give me one more chance, Im begging you
By the end, Cao Jiadu was on his knees, pleading desperately.
Whack!
Lin Yi pped Cao Jiadus face and shouted,
I can spare your life, but what about myrade? Can hee back to life?!
Cao Jiadu instantly sobered up, and his eyes darkened.
As an official of the Central Guards Brigade, he knew very well that he had no way out and that this might even implicate his family.
Lin Yi took out his phone and called Liu Hong.
Soon, he brought people in and took Cao Jiadu and Chen Guanjie away.
The office fell silent.
Lin Yi sat on the chair weakly with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. Dealing with Wang Tingshan and the spy was his biggest obsession after he reawakened.
Now, Wang Tingshan was dead and Chen Guanjie and Cao Jiadu had been dealt with.
However, he didnt feel anything at all. He didnt even care if they were sentenced to death.
No matter what happened to them, it was impossible for a person toe back to life.
Tears fell from the corners of his eyes. Lin Yi even thought that it would be
good if he died like this.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a chill on his face.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Ning Che beside him who then handed him a tissue.
The dead cant be revived. Now that things havee to this, its useless to be sad. Weve already done everything. Knowing that theres a team leader like you who risked his life to save us, Zhou Liang in theherworld will be satisfied.
Things havent been settled yet.
Lin Yiy on the chair and said calmly,
The people who attacked Zhou Liang are from the ck Snake organization.
As long as they are not dead, this matter is not over.
No! Ning Che immediately refused.
In the past few days, Ive gained aprehensive understanding of the ck Snake organization. Theyre ranked 16th on the cklist. Their overallbat level is not something we can deal with. We have to consider this matter at length before acting.
At length? Lin Yi said slowly.
Then how long do we have to wait?
Well
Ning Che was speechless. She didnt know how to answer Lin Yi regarding this matter.
Aside from ck Snakes regrbat force, many of their normal troops knew how to exert force in their dantian. They were all very strong.
Moreover, he had been active on the ind all year round. Theirbat experience andbat literacy were not something ck Gold and the others couldpare to.
If they went over rashly, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
But you cant go either!
Lin Yi remained silent.
Ning Che knew that Lin Yi didnt listen to a single word he said.
He had his own code of conduct. When someone vited these rules, he would not care about anything and would act in his own way.
Whoosh!
Ning Che exhaled. She knew that she couldnt persuade Lin Yi, so she could only think of a way to help him.
Silently, Ning Che lit a cigarette and smoked without saying a word.
Her thoughts were that no matter what Lin Yi did this time, she had to follow him.
The worst that could happen was death. She didnt want what had happened in Chepopur to repeat itself.
Time passed slowly like water.
Ning Che apanied Lin Yi in the office. Liu Hong hade once during this period. Seeing the two of them here, he left without saying a word.
At noon, Lin Yi got up to stretch his body. Ning Che stood up and said,
Its already noon. Lets eat something.
Lets go.
Ill give Yuluo a call, Ning Che said, holding up her phone.
What is she up to?
She went to the hospital to handle some paperwork for you.
Hmm? What paperwork?
Your death certificate. Your current status is deceased; it needs to be changed.
Does she really need to do that herself? Couldnt Old Lu handle it with just a word?
Do you really think hes that free? She can take care of this small task quickly.
Ring, ring, ring!
The phone began to ring as Ning Che made the call.
Hello?
Do you know someone called Li Chuhan?
Qiu Yuluos question surprised Lin Yi. Yes, why?
On the other end of the phone, Qiu Yuluo was silent for a long time.
Shemitted suicide..
Chapter 1842: Looking to Die
Chapter 1842: Looking to Die
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
What did you say?!
Lin Yis body felt as if it had been electrocuted. All the hair on his body stood on end, and cold sweat drenched the back of his clothes. His body went cold.
I only found out about this when I arrived at the hospital, Qiu Yuluo said.
I heard that on the day she said goodbye to your body, she quietly returned to the car, took two bottles of sleeping pills, andmitted suicide.
Shemitted suicide
Lin Yis eyes were lifeless, and his body was trembling non-stop. Images of Li Chuhan shed through his mind.
That woman who didnt like to talk but had a gentle heart
A person who was alone and hiding in the dark
Lin Yis heart ached terribly. It was as if he was being held tightly by a pair of big hands, and even breathing became difficult.
Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?!
Seeing Lin Yi walk to the window and jump down without a care, Ning Che was shocked.
She realized that he had already gone down to the first floor by jumping on the air-conditioner unit outside.
Ning Che didnt know what had happened, but she was afraid that something uncontroble would happen, so she followed Lin Yi and jumped down through the window.
Wait for me!
Ning Che chased after him and got into the passenger seat just as Lin Yi was about to start the car.
He stepped on the elerator and drove out of the Central Guards Brigade base.
What happened? Tell me quickly. Ning Che asked nervously.
Li Chuhanmitted suicide.
Li Chuhan?
Ning Che still had some impression of this woman.
She knew this person a long time ago and knew that she was rted to Lin Yi. She was a very skilled cardiac surgeon.
Other than that, on the night of Lin Yis ident, she fainted when she saw Lin Yi.
The fact that she had such huge emotional fluctuations meant their rtionship must be extraordinary.
And she chose tomit suicide at this time. Her feelings for Lin Yi were iparable.
Lin Yi drove the car very quickly and arrived at the hospital in half an hour.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ning Che asked Lin Yi to put on a mask and sunsses before getting out of the car. After this, went straight to the 22nd floor of the Third Inpatient Department.
Neither Li Chuhans identity nor Miao Guofengs connections qualified Li Chuhan to stay here.
However, because she had an extraordinary rtionship with Lin Yi, the hospital arranged for her to be here.
When they came out of the elevator, they saw Qiu Yuluo standing at the door.
How is she?!
Shes inside and has been unconscious for several days. Her condition isnt good, Qiu Yuluo said sympathetically. Go in and take a look.
Pushing open the door to the emergency room, Lin Yi rushed in without even changing his clothes.
Hey, hey, hey, stop! Do you think this is just any ce?
The nurse in the emergency room tried to stop him.
Stand down!
Ning Che shed her credentials. This is a military operation. Stay out of it and leave.
Seeing the credentials, the nurse got scared. She had never encountered such a situation before and hurried out.
You keep watch here. Ill handle the hospital matters to prevent any interruptions, Qiu Yuluo whispered.
Got it.
Since the emergency room on the 22nd floor was reserved for special leaders, only a few had the privilege to use it. At the moment, Li Chuhan was the only patient there, with Qiao Xin by her side.
You are
Qiao Xin stood up and asked carefully when she saw a stranger enter the emergency room. Moreover, he wasnt wearing any PPE.
After a few days, Qiao Xin had lost weight. There were dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Despite enduring for so many days, she was still holding on.
Lin Yi walked past Qiao Xin and stood in front of the window. He saw Li Chuhan lying on the bed, receiving an infusion of oxygen.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Before this, Lin Yi felt that the person he had let down the most was Ji Qingyan.
However, at this moment, he realized that the person he had let down the most was Li Chuhan.
When he was no longer around, Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu still had their parents and family.
Someone could support them, but not Li Chuhan. She had no one but herself.
He closed his eyes tightly as tears streamed down his face. He could only imagine Li Chuhans despair.
I could have endured the darkness if I had not seen the sun.
In the past, Li Chuhan also lived a simple and fulfilling life without Lin Yi.
After seeing Lin Yi, her life had turned upside down. Her silent heart had be colorful.
That day, when the sky was bright, Lin Yi supported all her desires and fantasies.
However, with Lin Yis death, everything she had dreamed of, fantasized about, and hoped for was destroyed at that moment.
She couldnt hold on any longer, and her scattered spiritual world couldnt hold on either.
She chose to end her life in this way.
Whether its the future or the bridge, I want to walk it with you.
Gently, Lin Yi reached out his trembling hand and caressed Li Chuhans face.
Her every frown and smile appeared in Lin Yis mind again.
His tears drenched his mask andnded on the nket.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked in from outside. Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che followed beside him.
This is Director Ma Xiaoyang of Union Medical. Hes in charge of Director Lis treatment, Qiu Yuluo introduced.
Whats the situation now? Lin Yi held back his tears and asked in a low voice.
The situation isnt very good. We can only do our best. Its very likely that
Ma Xiaoyang did not continue. He believed that the other party would understand.
The dosage of the two bottles of sleeping pills is indeed not small, but she was sent here in time. Coupled with Union Medical Hospitals facilities, treating her shouldnt be so difficult.
Normally speaking, the patients current situation should have improved, but Chief Physician Lis situation is a little strange. Not only has she not improved, but her condition has also deteriorated rapidly. Clinical cases like this are notmon.
Based on your experience, it might be caused by something.
Sigh
Ma Xiaoyang sighed and looked at Li Chuhan, who was lying on the hospital bed. He said sadly,
Actually, Ive seen such a clinical case once in the past. It was also a woman, and her condition was simr to Chief Physician Lis. When she was sent over, with our Union Medical Hospitals standard, there was a 90% chance that she could be saved, but she still died in the end.
Ma Xiaoyang paused and let out a long sigh.
In the end, we analyzed the reason for this oue. It might be that the patient gave up on her own and was looking to die.
Looking to die? Ning Che muttered.
In reality, as long as a person is not brain dead, the brain is conscious. It just cant show it. Even though Director Li is unconscious, her subconscious mind is still working, constantly reminding her to give up the treatment. Ma Xiaoyangmented.
In other words, shes the one who is causing this situation. She gave up her desire to live. We really cant save a person who wants to die.
She wants to die!
Ma Xiaoyangs words made Lin Yis heart skip a beat. He felt indescribably ufortable.
He silently looked at Li Chuhan with a moved expression.
Ning Che, who was standing at the side, felt indescribably ufortable.
She recited a movie line.
She wasnt the only one in Lin Yis life, but she only had Lin Yi in her life.
Lin Yi might be everything to this woman, her sun, moon, and stars.
Using such a method to end her life was the best option for her.
Qiu Yuluo patted Ma Xiaoyangs shoulder.
That was all he had to say. There was no need to say anything else.
After exining the patients condition, Ma Xiaoyang knew that he had nothing else to do, so he left the ward.
At the same time, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che also left.
At this moment, only Lin Yi, Li Chuhan, and Qiao Xin were left in the emergency room.
Qiao Xin felt a sense of familiarity as she looked at the person in front of her.
His voice was exactly the same as Brother Lins.
Testing, Qiao Xin turned her head, wanting to confirm Lin Yis identity and see if he was Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didnt do anything else and took off his mask and sunsses.
Brother Lin!
Qiao Xin screamed and fell to the ground in shock.
Calm down, Im not dead, Lin Yi said.
What happened before was all a misunderstanding.
But the hospital had already determined that you
At that time, my situation was simr to death. I recovered before I was sent to be cremated.
Lin Yis voice was calm and emotionless. As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Li Chuhan.
His thoughts were all focused on Li Chuhan, and he had no time to care about other people and matters.
After a while, Qiao Xin got up and hugged Lin Yi, crying loudly. The entire ward could hear her crying.
Brother Lin, Sister Li is in such a state. What should we do?!
She no longer wanted to know how Lin Yi came back to life.
She just wanted to know if Li Chuhan could be saved.
Lin Yi patted her shoulder and said quietly,
Its fine. Youve been standing guard here for the past few days. Its been hard on you. Ill get the people outside to arrange a ce for you to rest for a while. You cant continue like this.
But Im not in the mood to rest when Sister Li is like this.
Itll be fine with me around. She wont die. Just go back and wait for my updates.
Are you really okay?
Hearing Lin Yis words, Qiao Xins eyes lit up like never before.
In her eyes, Lin Yi was an omnipotent existence. If he said this, there would definitely be no problem.
Lin Yi patted her shoulder again.
Go on, its gonna be okay.
Then Ill go back first. Ille backter.
Go back and have a good sleep. Eat something beforeing back.
Got it, Brother Lin.
After Qiao Xin left, only Lin Yi and Li Chuhan were left in the ward.
Lin Yi sat beside her and held her hand tightly.
Why are you so stupid? Lin Yi said gently.
Even if I die, you have to live well. Its not worth it to do such a stupid thing for someone like me.
Just like that, Lin Yi said this patiently.
Although Li Chuhan did not respond, he still wanted to tell the woman on the bed what was on his mind.
He hoped she could hear him.
Because she didnt know if Li Chuhan would wake up or not. He could only pray in his heart that she was fine.
Ill sing you a song. You dont have to say anything. Just listen to me.
Im most afraid of the sudden silence in the air,
Im most afraid of a friends sudden concern,
The scariest thing was that memories would suddenly roll over.
The cramps will not subside,
Im most afraid of suddenly hearing news about you,
Missing if there would be a voice,
Dont want it to be a cry of sorrow.
Now that things havee to this, Ive finally made myself mine. Only tears cant fool me.
I suddenly miss you so much,
Where would you be,
Happy or aggrieved,
I suddenly miss you so much,
Suddenly sharp memories,
Suddenly blurry eyes,
We are like the most beautiful song,
To be two sad movies,
Why you,
Take me on the most memorable journey,
and then leave behind the most painful souvenirs,
We are so sweet and beautiful,
Then believe,
So mad and passionate in the past,
Why are we,
Or should we run to our own happiness,
And regrets grow old in the middle,
I suddenly miss you so much,
Where would you be,
Happy or aggrieved,
I suddenly miss you so much,
Suddenly sharp memories,
Suddenly, my blurry eyes
Lin Yi grabbed her hand and stroked it gently.
Ive spent most of my time and energy on other people and other things, never really dedicating much to you. Why did it have to be you who ended up like this? How can I ever make it up to you?
Lin Yi tried to hold back his tears, but it was futile.
The tears soaked the white sheets, seemingly telling the story of the two of them.
In the past, I didnt have time to be with you. You always said it was fine and told me not to waste my time on you. But I regret it now. I want to give you all my time. Please, give me another chance
Sigh
Lin Yi wiped away his tears. Alright, enough of the sad stuff. Let me sing you a song. I never had the chance before. I hope you can hear it now.
What do you think? I know youre not around, but I still ask.
The air could not rece ones voice.
Habits, like stubborn scars that never heal.
The moment he thought about it, his soul was torn apart.
so that you can save and wash one more copy,
A sweater, and an extrayer for you,
But the warmth of your lonely hourforts
How to save an extra one for you?
I dont want to leave you alone in the sea of people.
I dont want you to walk alone in the rain and wind,
I dont want you to suffer the cruelty of the world alone.
I dont want my tears to apany you for eternity
Lin Yis voice continued. Even though Li Chuhan couldnt hear anything, he continued to sing. He didnt know what the point of this was.
He just wanted to talk to her more because he owed her too much.
In the past, she didnt want anything. As long as he could visit her asionally and send her a few messages, she would be extremely satisfied.
However, it just so happened that this was the greatest debt he owed her.
In the past, Lin Yi naively believed that Li Chuhan held an important enough ce in his heart. He just hadnt given her enough time.
But now he truly realized.
What he had failed to give her was not just enough time andpanionship, but enough love.
Life was often like this. We unwittingly fall into the traps of mundanity and only learn to cherish things after we lose them.
Cest vie.
Some regrets are meant for those who missed out on the experience.
Some missed opportunities are meant for those who experienced them to regret..
Chapter 1843 Peerless Scholar
1843 Peerless Schr
Outside the ward, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were not in a hurry to leave.
They could vaguely hear Lin Yi''s voice.
It was gentle and pleasant.
In their impression, this was the first time they had heard Lin Yi speak to another person with this kind of attitude and tone.
This was the gentleness that he had hidden in his heart and had never shown to anyone.
At five o''clock in the evening, Ning Che gave Lin Yi something.
Ning Che wanted to persuade Lin Yi to eat something, but she didn''t know how to say it.
If it were her, she would definitely not be able to eat either.
She could only let him slowly calm down. No one else could help.
At around nine in the evening, Qiao Xin arrived.
After resting for a while, herplexion was slightly better, but her mental state had not recovered fully. It was still a little poor.
"Brother Lin, you should go eat something too," Qiao Xin said, her heart aching.
"Let''s talk about itter. I''m not hungry yet," Lin Yi said calmly.
Qiao Xin''s thoughts were the same as Ning Che''s. At this time, no one could eat.
Sighing inwardly, Qiao Xin sat in front of the bed and looked at the pale and slender Li Chuhan with an aching heart.
"Brother Lin, when do you think Sister Li will wake up?"
"I got some special medicine from Hn. I''ve already sent someone to get it. We''ll see how it works."
Lin Yi didn''t have absolute confidence when he spoke.
Just as Ma Xiaoyang had said, it was delivered at the right time. Moreover, it had all been pumped. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn''t be a big problem.
However, she was determined to die. This was the most critical factor.
As a result, Lin Yi couldn''t be sure if he could wake up, even if he was the most outstanding surgeon in Huaxia.
"Brother Lin, there''s a bed next door. Go rest for a while. I''ll watch from here," Qiao Xin said with concern. "We definitely can''t continue like this."
"I can still hold on." Lin Yi''s tone was slow as he looked at Li Chuhan, his eyes filled with love and gentleness.
Time was like a trickle of water, always passing by unintentionally.
Just like that, a day and a night passed, and Li Chuhan was still the same.
The special medicine Lin Yi got from Hn didn''t improve even after he gave it to Li Chuhan.
After three days and three nights, not only did Li Chuhan''s stable vital signs not improve, but they even showed signs of decline.
She was really looking to die. A world without Lin Yi was hell for her.
She might as well use this approach to find him.
Because wherever he was, it was paradise.
Lin Yi grabbed the nket tightly and sobbed in the pure white ward.
Qiao Xin couldn''t bear it. In her heart, Lin Yi had always been an indomitable man.
He would not be depressed or cry.
However, at this moment, he looked especially helpless.
Over the past few days, he had been talking and singing non-stop. In the end, even he might not know what he was doing.
He was just an ordinary person. He didn''t want Li Chuhan to die. He wanted her to hear his voice.
Even if this method was a little stupid, it was still representative of the deepest form of love.
"Sister Li"
Qiao Xin grabbed Li Chuhan''s other hand tightly. "Sister Li, I beg you. Open your eyes and look at us. Brother Lin isn''t dead. He''s been waiting for you to wake up. I beg you"
Beep beep beep!
At this moment, there was a sound on the ECG, and there was a violent beat.
Even though it returned to a weak state in the next second, this meant that her heart rate had fluctuated!
This meant that her situation was showing signs of improvement!
Lin Yi and Qiao Xin looked at each other and saw the brightness in the other''s eyes!
Despite this simple heartbeat being only about seventy percent of a normal person''s, for the two of them, it was a sign of life!
"Sister Li!"
Qiao Xin burst into tears again, but this time, they were tears of joy.
As a cardiologist, she knew exactly what this meant. With a bit more persistence, Li Chuhan could be brought back to life.
Lin Yi tightly held her hand, trying to transfer his body warmth to her.
He was just as happy, though he didn''t show it as openly as Qiao Xin.
They say extremes breed reversals. The joy after great sorrow is something others cannot fully understand.
After that intense heartbeat, Li Chuhan''s condition remainedrgely unchanged.
Until three hourster, when another strong heartbeat was detected!
Through these subtle signs, they were able to determine that she was likely out of immediate danger.
Now, it was just a matter of waiting.
By five the next morning, after a whole night had passed.
The intervals between her heartbeats shortened from three hours to every half hour, bing more frequent.
Only those who had experienced it would understand this joy.
At around seven o''clock, Qiao Xin''s record showed that her heart was beating more frequently.
It would jump every ten minutes or so.
In Lin Yi''s opinion, if she was lucky, she might wake up today.
At this moment, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che walked in with breakfast in their hands.
In the few days that Lin Yi had been apanying her, the two of them hade to deliver food for them.
But today, the two of them realized that something was different.
Whether it was Lin Yi or Qiao Xin, there was no longer that sad expression on their faces. Instead, there was a hint of vitality.
It could even be said that they were happy!
"Is the situation improving?" Ning Che probed.
"Yes." Lin Yi smiled and nodded.
"Her heart rate is slowly returning to normal. Other indicators are showing signs of rebounding. With any luck, she''ll show a reaction today. As for when she''ll wake up, we still can''t be sure, but she''s doing much better. It''s wonderful."
Qiu Yuluo realized that when Lin Yi mentioned this, he seemed to have be a chatterbox.
It was just a simple question, but he said so much in one go.
This was because he and Ning Che did not have much of a rtionship with this woman called Li Chuhan. Even if he told him about these things, there was not much meaning.
But even so, he still talked at length about this woman.
He was happy in inside, and he was expressing his joy through this.
Qiu Yuluo didn''t dare to think about it anymore. If something really happened to the woman on the bed, what would Lin Yi''s emotions be like?
"It''s good that there are signs of improvement. Finally, there''s no need to worry." Ning Che said.
"You two don''t have to stay up like this. Come and eat something."
"Thank you, Sister Ning. You guys can eat with Brother Lin. I still want to see Sister Li."
"She''s already fine. What''s there to look at?" Ning Che said.
"Come and eat. You''ll lose at least ten kilograms in the next few days. Your chest is t from hunger. Do you still want to get married in the future?"
Qiu Yuluo shook her head speechlessly. Ning Che was truly hopeless.
It was one thing to tease those young hunks, but why did he have to tease the youngdy?
"These past few days have indeed made me lose some weight, but luckily I''m still bigger than Sister Qiu, so I''m not worried."
Qiu Yuluo, "???"
''How did I get dragged into this?''
Ning Che nced at Qiu Yuluo and deliberately puffed out her chest. "With those two tiny sesame seeds of hers, she''s not even as big as Brother Lin. You need topare yourself to someone more impressive."
"Hehe, got it."
With signs of improvement in Li Chuhan''s condition, the atmosphere in the room lightened.
"Alright, enough talk. Come over and eat something. We haven''t eaten yet either; we came straight here first thing in the morning."
"Thank you, Sister Ning."
Since the rescue room was essentially a small ICU, eating there wasn''t appropriate.
Qiao Xin just grabbed a couple of buns and a cup of soy milk to make do, allowing her to keep an eye on Li Chuhan as well.
The three of them went to the other wards outside.
"What about Cao Jiadu and Chen Guanjie?"
"He was court-martialed," Ning Che said.
"But this won''t be exposed. We don''t know what to do with it yet."
"After such a thing happened, they definitely won''t publicize it. I reckon not many people know when the two of them will die."
Lin Yi nodded in agreement.
"Cao Jiadu and Chen Guanjie are both dead. Has the Central Guards Brigade found a new person to lead them?"
"I heard from Boss Liu that Team 5 to 8 of the Central Guard Brigade might be taken over by Elder Liang. After all, the research unit doesn''t havebat tasks. But Team 4 has already had their mission on the ind suspended and will be arranged to return to the country soon. As for the new group leader, it''s still uncertain who it''ll be, but it might be someone parachuted in from the Yanlong Team."
Although Lin Yi often cked off at the Central Guard Brigade, he was aware of many things.
The Yanlong Team was the highestbat unit in the Central Guard Brigade, directlymanded by Lu Beichen.
In other words, they were the backbone of the Central Guard Brigade. The other four teams, while also handlingbat tasks, served more as a talent reserve. Once they reached a suitable level, they were sent to the Yanlong Team. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Is parachuting someone in appropriate? With Chen Guanjie out of the picture, shouldn''t someone from Team 4 be promoted?"
"That''s true, but over the years, many in Team 4 have been influenced by Chen Guanjie and have be his and the Wang family''s loyalists. Simply promoting someone from the team wouldn''t be suitable. Otherwise, Elder Lu wouldn''t have had them drop their mission and return to the base for debriefing."
"Why so much fanfare?"
"Indeed, Elder Lu is really angry this time."
As he spoke, Ning Che even looked around and said with shifty eyes.
"Moreover, I heard through the grapevine that Elder Lu is preparing to remove all the suspicious people and send them back home. As for those who have clear connections, even their families will suppress them."
"That''s interesting. They came to the Central Guards Brigade to umte merit points. After they retire, they''ll develop their family. Now, Old Master Lu has wiped them out, leaving nothing behind."
"Because over the years, they have obtained many benefits under the secret support of the Central Guards Brigade and the Wang family. They are simr to the feudal lords of ancient times. They usually don''t show off, but their secret strength is ridiculously strong."
Lin Yi rolled his eyes and remembered the Qian family he had met in Yuhang. Ning Che might be referring to people like them.
However, the Qian family was considered trash.
08:03
If those people who retired from the Central Guards Brigade only had this little bit of strength, the Central Guards Brigade would not be able to survive.
However, Lu Beichen''s actions could be considered tough.
They secretly suppressed these people and maintained the stability of the Central Guards Brigade.
However, there were two sides to everything.
Lu Beichen''s actions could not be smooth sailing either. One could imagine the pressure.
Presumably, he knew this too.
However, for the sake of Huaxia''s prosperity and stability, he endured all the pressure.
An unparalleled schr!
"If this continues, the future of Huaxia will definitely be uneasy."
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che nodded. The former said,
"Although it''s not as crazy, this operation is simr to the withdrawal of vassals in ancient times. Although an arm can''t win against a thigh, it will definitely have a bad impact."
"I can predict that those wretched families will definitely cause trouble in the dark. It just depends on how bold they are and how muchmotion they can cause."
"That''s right. Let''s just wait and watch the show. Perhaps there''s something we can use," Qiu Yuluo said.
"Alright, let''s not talk about this for now. It''s not working hours now. I don''t want to be a workaholic."
Ning Che looked at Lin Yi and said.
"I don''t think there''s anything else going on in the country. Do you still want to hide the fact that you came back from the dead? There shouldn''t be a need for this."
Lin Yi nodded. He had faked his death to take revenge on the Wang family. Now that the matter was settled, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Moreover, there was no way to hide such a thing.
As a living person, he could not stay in his room every day. Sooner orter, he would have to go out and meet people.
"Let nature take its course. There''s no need to advertise this matter with great fanfare. We''ll take it one step at a time."
Lin Yi was not in a good mood. He ate silently, as if there was something on his mind.
He was running away.
To be more precise, he was avoiding her.
He had yet toe up with a reasonable solution. In other words, he had yet to figure out how to face Ji Qingyan.
"Then we''ll let nature take its course. It''s not a big deal anyway."
Ning Che threw the breakfast on the table to the side. "There''s no point in eating these things. Let''s find a ce to get a massage. Let''s drink."
"Don''t worry, I''ll go back and take a look."
Li Chuhan''s condition improved, and Lin Yi''s mood returned to normal.
The night before, Lin Yi gave Li Chuhan aprehensive examination. All the indicators showed good signs.
Therefore, he was not too worried.
Moreover, after staying here for four days, he had to find a ce to brush his teeth and wash his face. Otherwise, he would start to smell.
"It''s so early in the morning and you two are already going there? That''s not a good idea."
"What''s wrong with that? I''m full of energy in the morning, and some things are done in the morning. The effect is unexpectedly good." Ning Che winked.
"Why are you telling her this? She doesn''t understand."
Qiu Yuluo, "..."
Lin Yi returned to the ward and looked at the numbers on the equipment. The indicators were very good, even better than the previous night.
Perhaps she would even recover that night.
All he had to do was wait.
After apanying Li Chuhan in front of the hospital bed for a while, the three of them left the hospital when it was almost noon. Then, they went to the bathhouse to rxfortably.
In the private room, Ning Che ordered a lot of things to go with the wine. The three of them had a tacit understanding and drank to their heart''s content. They didn''t even need to be persuaded and just drank ss after ss.
After such a thing happened, they really needed to get drunk to ease their nervousness.
"I heard from Qiao Xin that Zhao Mo and the others came on the day of my memorial service?" Lin Yi held his wine ss and said calmly.
Chapter 1844 Arent They Afraid of Death?
1844 Aren''t They Afraid of Death?
"Indeed, I wouldn''t dare to do anything to you normally, but after hearing the news of your death, these monsters jumped out." Qiu Yuluo took a sip of beer and said.
"But fortunately, your father came in time and subdued those people."
Ning Che changed his posture and looked at Lin Yi with interest.
"Actually, I''m quite curious about this. Where did your fathere from? Not only did he subdue the five great families, but he also made Qin Yinglong kneel on the ground. Ordinary people could never pull that off."
"I don''t know about this either. You have to ask Boss Liu."
"I asked. He said he had no right to judge your father, and I don''t know what he does exactly. He looks like a very impressive person."
Ning Che said,
"And that day, on the way to Chepopur, I ran into that Song Jinmin guy. Guess what happened?"
"He brought you to get a massage?"
"Stop spouting nonsense." Ning Che''s brows furrowed.
"The dozen or so people I brought over were all knocked down by one of his subordinates. Take note, the person who defeated us was his subordinate, not Song Jinmin himself."
"That''s expected. He''s already an A-ss. His subordinates definitely won''t be bad. It shouldn''t take much effort to defeat you."
"What did you say? That loser has actually reached A-ss?"
"He''s quite a powerful person." Lin Yi nodded.
"When I was in Doora, I ran into trouble. If he hadn''t arrived in time, I would have died. However, he''s just a little sloppy. He isn''t not as bad that he''s a loser."
"If he''s already an A-ss, wouldn''t your father be an S-ss?"
Lin Yi took a sip of beer and pursed his lips.
"It''s possible. I don''t know exactly what happened. This is the first time we''ve met, and we don''t know each other very well."
"No wonder Boss Liu said that he doesn''t have the right to restrrain your father. This is the first time I''ve heard of an S-rank big shot, let alone seen him. He''s too awesome." Ning Che picked up a piece of beef and said vaguely.
"I don''t even want to be yourrade anymore."
"So what do you want to be?"
"I want to be your stepmother. I don''t need any official status. Can you help me make the connection?"
"Cut the cr*p. Just drink your wine."
As the night grew darker, more than 20 luxury cars of all kinds stopped at the entrance of the Union Medical Hospital.
Although it was gettingte, there were still many people in the hospital.
At a hospital the size of Union Medical, vehicle avability only decreases around midnight; otherwise, finding a spot was nearly impossible.
However, when these twenty-something luxury cars drove in, all surrounding vehicles immediately gave way, keeping at least a five-meter distance.
These cars were all worth several million yuan, at the very least.
Most other cars wouldn''t even cost as much as one of their tires, so it was better to y it safe.
Moreover, as soon as these luxury cars arrived, the parking lot attendants promptly directed them to the staff parking spaces without any hesitation.
The lead cars bore special permits, indicating they had the privilege to park there from any angle.
After parking the car, the doors opened and Zhao Mo and the others got out.
In addition, there were Qin Yanfu and Qin Yanling from the Qin family, as well as the rich second-generation heirs from more than 20 families.
Coincidentally, these people were all beaten up by Lin Yi at the entrance of OT Bar.
They had all rushed over this time.
"Old Sun, are you sure that woman called Li Chuhan lives here?" Zhao Mo asked.
"Don''t worry, nothing will go wrong." Sun Ce said with a cigarette in his mouth.
"He''s one of Lin Yi''s lovers and they''re very close. The day Lin Yi appeared, she seemed to havemitted suicide for Lin Yi and is now being treated on the 22nd floor."
"This woman is really stupid. She would do such a thing for that scum Lin Yi." Zhao Mo sneered.
"That''s right. I wonder what kind of bewitching potion Lin Yi gave her," Sun Ce said.
"It''s like acting in a television drama. It gives me goosebumps."
"Let''s go in and take a look," Lu Xuan said.
"Lin Yi is dead. There''s no way to take revenge on him. Let''s start with his woman and make sure he can''t rest in peace even if he dies!"
Their original n was to quietly dig up Lin Yi''s tomb.
However, because of Lin Jingzhan, they gave up on this n.
They had already learned about that man''s strength from their parents.
After weighing the pros and cons, they felt that digging Lin Yi''s grave was too risky. His father would definitely not let it go, so they targeted the others.
At this moment, they received news of Li Chuhan and rushed over immediately.
This was the extent of what they dared to do, as Lin Jingzhan''s status meant he wouldn''t bother with such matters.
However, anything more would be beyond their capacity to manage.
Aftering out of the parking lot, the group walked towards the hospital in a grandiose manner and took the elevator to the 22nd floor.
The entire 22nd floor was quiet. Only a few nurses and doctors on duty were on duty here.
Because there were no high-level leadersing to treat them, they were considered the most idle doctors in Union Medical Hospital.
"Sir, are you here to visit the patient?" The young nurse stepped forward and asked.
"Yes." Zhao Mo put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile.
The young nurse''s expression was a little disgusted. He was actually smoking here. What kind of people were these?
"Ms. Li is the only patient on the 22nd floor. Are you here to see her?" The young nurse said.
"However, this is a hospital, a ce where smoking is prohibited. I hope you can put out your cigarettes. Otherwise, please leave!"
Piack!
Without another word, Zhao Mo pped the nurse''s face. Thetter covered her face and fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?! This is an intensive care unit, not a ce for you to behave atrociously. If you don''t leave now, I''ll call the police!"
"Go, I''ll see if the police dare to arrest me!"
After saying that, Zhao Mo and the others walked straight to the emergency room.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoyang, who was on duty, walked out of the office.
"What are you doing? Do you know what this ce is?!"
"Of course I know." Zhao Mo said.
"But let me tell you, you''d better behave yourself and don''t get in the way here. Otherwise, I''ll get someone to kill you!"
Facing the fierce-looking Zhao Mo, Ma Xiaoyang was so frightened that he did not dare to say anything.
They could only watch as they barged into the emergency room.
Seeing that her condition was improving, Qiao Xin felt more motivated to work.
Just then, the sound of the door opening could be heard behind her.
Qiao Xin thought that Lin Yi had returned, but when she turned around, she realized that a group of strangers had entered with a cigarette in their mouths!
"Who are you?!"
"You don''t have to care who I am. I''m just here to see her. Don''t be afraid."
Zhao Mo smiled and said, "Little girl, this woman is about to die. I think you shouldn''t waste your energy. Even if you can save her, she''ll be in a vegetative state. Why do you have to do this? Pull out the oxygen tube."
Although he was here to cause trouble, Zhao Mo did not dare to go overboard.
If Li Chuhan''s oxygen tube was removed, it would be considered intentional murder.
Even if Lin Yi was dead, the Central Guards Brigade would not let this deed go unpunished.
Therefore, it was fine as long as they came to make a fuss, but they could not attack.
"All of you, get out. Don''t disturb Sister Li''s rest!" Qiao Xin said loudly.
"Go out?" Zhao Moughed out loud.
"Lin Yi is already dead, what are you waiting for? Haha, let his woman self-destruct."
"Leave quickly. You''re not wee here! Do you believe that I''ll call the police now?!"
Qiao Xin rushed towards Zhao Mo and pushed him away, trying to push him away.
Although Zhao Mo was a little weak, he was not someone that Qiao Xin, a woman, could deal with.
She raised her hand and pped Zhao Mo''s face. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Who the f*ck do you think you are? How dare you touch me?"
Qiao Xin covered her face, her eyes filled with tears. "Don''t go overboard. Brother Lin won''t let you off!"
"Brother Lin? Haha"
Zhao Mo and the othersughed even louder. "Lin Yi is already f*cking dead, and you''re still saying that he won''t let me off? Are youing to my house tonight to scare me?"
"Who said that Brother Lin is dead? Brother Lin is not dead. He will definitely deal with you!"
It would have been better if she hadn''t said anything. When Qiao Xin said this, Zhao Mo and the othersughed even more arrogantly.
"What''s so good about that bastard Lin Yi that he''s worth you doing this?" Zhao Mo said.
"He''s already a pile of ashes, and you''re still saying that he''s not dead. I suggest you check his brain. Don''t make meugh here."
"It''s up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, Brother Lin isn''t dead. He''ll deal with you!"
"Whatever. Let him do it, haha"
Zhao Mo waved his hand. "Let''s go, brothers. I''m in a much better mood aftering here to take a look. I''ve booked the entire bar. I won''t go home until I''m drunk."
"Let''s go!"
For the entire afternoon, the three of them drank wine in Water Wrapped Hot Spring.
What started as a simple gathering in a private room with arge table turned into a drinking session for three.
They drank until nightfall, downing sixty or seventy bottles of beer without showing any signs of stopping.
Ring, ring, ring!
Just as they were getting tipsy, Lin Yi''s phone rang. It was a call from Qiao Xin.
For some reason, Lin Yi''s demeanor became excited.
At that moment, Qiao Xin''s call held extraordinary significance for him.
"How''s the situation? Has she woken up?"
"Brother Lin, a group of people came to cause trouble just now and said a lot of unpleasant things. Come back quickly. I''m a little afraid."
"Wait here. I''m going back now."
After hanging up, Lin Yi stood up with an ugly expression.
"What happened?" Ning Che stood up and asked.
"Qiao Xin called me just now. She said that someone had gone to the hospital to cause trouble and asked me to go back and take a look."
"Who has the guts to cause trouble on the 22nd floor of Union?"
"Let''s go over and take a look."
The three of them hurriedly put on their clothes and drove back to Union Medical.
"Brother Lin."
In the emergency room, when she saw Lin Yi return, Qiao Xin went up to him and burst into tears.
Lin Yi''s expression was ugly as he realized that there was a red palm print on Qiao Xin''s face. Half of her face was swollen.
08:04
"What''s going on? Speak slowly and don''t be afraid."
"I don''t know what happened either. I was wiping Sister Li''s body just now, and then more than twenty people rushed in and said a lot of nasty words. Then, they left."
"You didn''t do anything other than that?"
"They didn''t do anything else. Just pped me. But the words were ugly."
"Don''t worry, I''ll take care of this."
"You guys stay here for now. I''ll go over and check the surveince footage. I''ll be able to find out who came over very quickly."
With that, Qiu Yuluo turned around and left.
Lin Yi checked Li Chuhan again and found that her physical condition was better than when he left, so he was even more relieved.
He wasn''t thinking about anything now. As long as Li Chuhan was fine, it wasn''t a big deal to him.
The rest could be dealt with slowly.
Not long after, Qiu Yuluo returned. "I found it. Zhao Mo and the others brought their people over."
"Zhao Mo? Isn''t he afraid of death?" Lin Yi said.
"How dare hee looking for trouble?"
"Because they thought you were dead, and then they found out about Director Li and your rtionship with him, so they came here with great fanfare. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have dared to cause trouble here."
"That''s why I often say that these rich second-generation heirs are the type who remembers to eat but not to fight."
Lin Yi sneered. "Can you find out where they are now? Since I have nothing to do, I have to go over and talk to them."
"We should be able to find it through the city''s traffic surveince cameras, but it will take some time," Qiu Yuluo said after some thought.
"It''s okay. Help me look for them first. I didn''t beat them properlyst time. This time, I have to teach them a lesson."
"Later. Don''t worry."
"Okay."
After Qiu Yuluo left, Lin Yi and Ning Che stayed in the ward.
While waiting for news, he apanied Li Chuhan.
ording to Lin Yi''s clinical experience, with Li Chuhan''s current physical indicators, she should be able to regain consciousness.
But if things continued like this, it wouldn''t be good. He was also anxious inside.
"Brother Lin, there''s nothing much going on now. You should get some sleep. You haven''t rested properly these past few days, and you don''t want to overexert yourself."
Over the past few days, Lin Yi had indeed been exhausted. On top of that, the recent massage had rxed his body, making him feel even more tired.
"It''s not going to make a difference if I wait a bit longer. I''ll rest after we handle these matters."
"Okay, okay."
Qiao Xin nodded heavily. Those people who came to cause trouble were too despicable.
He had to teach them a lesson.
About an hourter, Qiu Yuluo walked in.
"We''ve already found them. After leaving the hospital, they all went to OT bar. We should be able to find them there."
Lin Yi stood up and stretched his body, his expression dark.
"Let''s go and take a look."
OT bar was very lively that night. The streets on both sides of the entrance were filled with luxury cars. All kinds of sports cars could be seen here.
Women in miniskirts were coquettishly checking in and taking photos, not wanting to miss any of the cars.
Through their respective circles, they had heard that there would be a big event at OT Bar tonight.
All the rich second-generation heirs in Yanjing woulde here for a gathering today, so they rushed over to join in the fun.
If they caught a rich second-generation heir, they would profit.
The outside of the bar was full of cars, and the inside of the bar was not much better. There were people everywhere.
Men and women twisted their bodies crazily to vent the hormones in their bodies. Some of them even wore bikinis, and the atmosphere was fiery.
There were more than 20 people gathered in the booth at the front of the bar.
In addition to Zhao Mo and the other three, Qin Yanfu and Qin Yanling also came to the gathering.
"Come on, brothers. We''ve gotten our revenge today. We have to get drunk," Zhao Mo said with a ss of wine in his hand.
Chapter 1845 Its Really Great That Ill Get to Talk to You
1845 It''s Really Great That I''ll Get to Talk to You
Zhao Mo held his wine cup, and the others followed. Theyughed heartily and raised their cups to drink.
"Lin Yi, that b*stard, is finally dead. From now on, Huaxia is our world!"
The current Lin Yi was just like Lin Jingzhan back then. He could even be said to have surpassed his master.
When he was around, none of the rich second-generation heirs in Yanjing would dare to step out.
Now, Lin Yi was dead.
From now on, they could do whatever they wanted in Yanjing and Huaxia!
"Now that Lin Yi is dead, it''s time to settle the grudge between us and Qin Han," Lu Xuan said.
"Indeed, they always had Lin Yi backing them up. How many times have they shown off in front of us? We really have to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson," Zhao Mo said.
"Coincidentally, I have nothing to do these few days. I''ll go to Zhonghai every day. While teaching Qin Han and the others a lesson, I''ll also pay my respects to Lin Yi. After all, he fought with us for so long. Now that he''s dead, I have to go over and show my respects."
"Haha, that''s a good idea."
"Come on, cheers."
More than twenty people raised their wine sses and drank happily.
The inte celebrities in the bar also stuck close to Zhao Mo and the others, hoping to gain their favor.
As time went by, the atmosphere in the bar reached a climax and became particrly unrestrained.
At this moment, Lin Yi and the other two walked in.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che did not hide anything and walked in openly, attracting the attention of many people.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, was wearing a mask and a cap as he followed behind the two of them quietly.
Compared to these unrestrained men and women, they seemed a little out of ce.
This woman with good looks and figure was rare, even in OT bar.
"Beauty, what would you like to drink? It''s on me."
A young man in cargo shorts greeted Ning Che.
"Get lost," Ning Che snapped. "With your looks, you want to hit on me? Go to Rania and get some stic surgery first."
The man''s face changed at Ning Che''s insult, feeling his pride take a hit.
"Stupid b*tch, don''t take my kindness for granted. I''m Li Fei, and inviting you is giving you face. Don''t push your luck..."
Whack!
Without another word, Ning Che went up and pped the man named Li Fei to the ground.
It was precisely this scene that caused the noisy atmosphere in the bar to stagnate. Everyone turned around to look, wanting to know what had happened.
Zhao Mo and the others put down their wine sses and turned around.
In the bar, this was amon urrence, so they didn''t take it to heart.
However, he was surprised to see that the people who had entered were Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo.
Their appearance made Zhao Mo and the others feel a little strange.
No matter what their motives were, they would note here.
Especially Qin Yanling, his expression was even more unnatural.
Qiu Yuluo used to be his girlfriend, but they broke up because of Lin Yi.
Now that he saw her here, he did not know how to face thetter.
"What are they doing here?" Lu Xuan asked with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Maybe they''re here because of that woman called Li Chuhan." Qin Yanfu said.
"When Lin Yi was alive, they wererades and had a very good rtionship. Now that something like this has happened, they''re probably here to seek justice for that woman. This can be considered as helping Lin Yi."
The others agreed with Qin Yanfu''s suggestion.
Otherwise, with their identities, they would never havee here. After all, their social circles never mixed. Coming here would be asking for trouble.
At the entrance of the bar, Li Fei, who had been pped, was furious. He said to the person behind him,
"Brothers,e and teach her a lesson. No one in Yanjing dares to touch me."
Under Li Fei''s call, more than ten people surrounded Ning Che and the other two in the middle. There was a teasing smile on their lips, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Alright, make way. We''re on the same side."
Hearing Zhao Mo''s words, the expressions of Li Fei and the others improved a lot.
"So she''s one of us. Forget it. I won''t pursue the matter with her."
These guys were rich second-generation heirs in Yanjing, but they were worlds apart from Zhao Mo.
Zhao Mo had already spoken, so the others did not dare to do anything.
The crowd dispersed, clearing a path in the middle. The three of them walked towards Zhao Mo''s men.
At the same time, Zhao Mo and the others looked at Lin Yi, curious about his identity.
Judging from his posture, the three of them should be in cahoots.
If this man was also from the Central Guards Brigade, there was no need for him to cover himself up so tightly, right?
However, the atmosphere had already reached this point, and Zhao Mo did not want to care about anything else.
Since Lin Yi was dead, he would be the boss in Yanjing from now on.
Even if Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che came, they could not do anything to him.
Zhao Mo casually lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and looked at the two of them.
"If I''m not wrong, you''re here for that woman called Li Chuhan, right?"
"It seems that you were prepared and knew that we woulde," Ning Che said condescendingly with a cold expression on her face.
"You guys have such a good rtionship with that b*stard Lin Yi. It''s only natural for you toe and help after such a thing happened," Zhao Mo said.
"But I don''t think that''s necessary. He''s already dead. Why are you still doing these things? You''ve even offended us."
"We''re just here to watch the fun. Someone else is handling this."
"Someone else?"
Subconsciously, everyone''s gaze fell on the man in the cap.
They were all a little suspicious. Could it be that the person Ning Che was talking about was him? But who was he? Even if he was given 100 guts, he would not dare to attack them!
At this moment, Lin Yi walked in front of the two of them, grabbed Zhao Mo''s hair, and pulled him up from the sofa.
"Ah!"
Zhao Mo let out a blood-curdling scream, startling the others in the bar.
They did not expect this man to attack without saying anything.
"F*ck, you''re courting death!"
Qin Yanfu and Gu Changchuan rushed forward, ready to attack.
Lin Yi''s reactions were extremely fast. He kicked Qin Yanfu, and a huge force surged through his entire body. He felt as if his bones had been broken. He rolled on the ground, unable to stand up!
This scene frightened Gu Changchuan.
Qin Yanfu was once a member of the Central Guards Brigade. If even he was knocked out in one kick, wouldn''t he be courting death if he went up?!
Lin Yi grabbed Zhao Mo''s hair and raised his eyebrows at Gu Changchuan.
"Weren''t you all acting very impressive? Aren''t you going to attack me? Why aren''t you moving?"
Lin Yi''s voice made Zhao Mo and the others shiver. This voice was too familiar. It was exactly the same as Lin Yi''s!
However, this feeling of fear quickly subsided.
Lin Yi was already dead. It couldn''t be him!
"Who are you? We have no enmity with you. Why are you involved in this matter?" Gu Changchuan asked coldly.
"It doesn''t matter who I am. Besides, I''ll leave after I''m done. There''s no need for you to know so much."
Lin Yi''s gaze swept across the twenty or so people.
"You guys were the ones who went to the hospital to cause trouble just now, right?"
"So what if it''s us?" Gu Changchuan said.
"You better know the seriousness of this matter. With our identities, we can kill you with a casual sentence. Let go of Zhao Mo quickly, or you won''t have a good time!"
"Hehe..."
Lin Yi sneered, "Then I''d like to see what you can do to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi pulled Zhao Mo in front of him and stepped on him. The sound of bones breaking was heard, and his ankle was twisted in a strange posture.
"AH!"
Seeing Zhao Mo''s miserable state, the women in the bar were so frightened that they covered their heads and fled like rats. The screams from both sides blended together.
Zhao Mo''s face turned pale from the pain and he almost fainted.
Gu Changchuan and the others retreated in fear. This man''s ruthlessness was beyond their imagination.
Not only was his voice simr to Lin Yi''s, but even his style was the same!
Who the hell was he?!
After breaking Zhao Mo''s leg, Lin Yi threw him aside and walked towards Gu Changchuan and the others.
08:05
"What are you doing?!" Gu Changchuan asked in fear.
"I don''t want to do anything. I just want to break your legs. It''s that simple."
With that, Lin Yi charged at Gu Changchuan and kicked his chest. Just as he was about tond, Lin Yi grabbed his arm and broke his wrist!
Even if his hand could recover in the future, he would be crippled for life!
"No, don''t"
Zhao Mo and Gu Changchuan had fallen after another. Lu Xuan and Sun Ce were so scared that they were incoherent.
A beating would be one thing, but if they ended up permanently disabled because of this, their lives would essentially be over.
Thump!
Without thinking, the two of them knelt down in front of Lin Yi.
"We know we were wrong. Please don''t do anything. Give us another chance. We won''t dare to do it again."
Seeing the two of them like this, the people in the bar felt their scalps tingle.
They were all rich second-generation heirs in Yanjing, and each of them was arrogant and domineering.
But now, they were kneeling in front of a strange man like a stray dog.
At that moment, Lu Xuan and Sun Ce could not care less.
Zhao Mo and Gu Changchuan were lying on the ground. They did not want to be crippled themselves.
Facing this fierce man in front of them, it would be a lie to say that they did not regret it. If they had known this would happen, they would not have gone to find trouble with Li Chuhan.
It was not worth it to pay such a price for a moment of pleasure.
"It''s toote to say all this now. I have to teach you a lesson."
With that, Lin Yi kicked out twice,nding on their knees!
The two of them screamed even louder than pigs being ughtered and fainted.
"Well"
Qin Yanling, who was standing in the corner, did not know what to do when he saw Zhao Mo, the other three, and his big brother being beaten to the ground.
Subconsciously, he looked at Qiu Yuluo. She was the only one who could help him now.
"Yuluo, don''t just stand there. Help me plead for leniency. No matter what, we had a good history. You can''t leave me in the lurch."
Qiu Yuluo was disgusted by Qin Yanling''s behavior.
He was arrogant when he bullied others, but now that Lin Yi came looking for him, he was begging for mercy. He was not a man at all.
Compared to Lin Yi, he was much weaker.
"This has nothing to do with me. I don''t know this person either. I''m just here for a walk. I can''t help you plead for leniency." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiu Yuluo ignored Qin Yanling and sat in a booth beside him. She poured herself a ss of wine and did not even look at Qin Yanling.
Qin Yanling''s face fell. There was nothing he could do about this ruthless man in front of him. He could only kneel down to him like Lu Xuan and Sun Ce.
However, this didn''t change anything. His leg was also broken!
After dealing with Zhao Mo''s men, Lin Yi didn''t let go of the remaining twenty or sockeys.
In less than 20 minutes, these people were all lying on the ground. OT Bar, which had been lively just a moment ago, was now in a mess. The crowd did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Lin Yi looked down at everyone. "I''m warning you all. From now on, if anyone dares to cause trouble again, I''ll take out your entire family. Don''t say that I didn''t warn you."
"Also, you''d better not go to Union Medical Hospital. Otherwise, you''ll have to bear the consequences."
With that, Lin Yi left with Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo.
The people in the bar watched them silently. No one would have thought that the party today would be ruined by this man.
Initially, they thought that Lin Yi was dead and the huge burden hanging above their heads would be gone. They didn''t expect another person to appear and beat up Zhao Mo and the others. Moreover, he would be crippled for life. He probably wouldn''t be able to make aeback again in the future.
After leaving the OT bar, Lin Yi looked at Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che.
"You guys should go back and rest. I''ll go back to the hospital first."
"If you break Zhao Mo and the others'' legs, their elders will definitely not let this matter go. You have to think of a way to deal with it," Qiu Yuluo said.
"Finding me is impossible, so they''ll probably call your ce. When they do, arrange for them to meet at Xiehe Hospital. I''ll handle them personally."
Ning Che smiled at Lin Yi. "I bet you''ve been waiting for this moment for a long time."
"Absolutely. With my status as a ''dead man,'' I can do a lot and leave no evidence. It''s pretty satisfying to think about."
"Then that''s it. If the other party can contact us, we''ll help you arrange a meeting at Union Medical Hospital." Ning Che said.
"We''ll take a taxi and leave. You don''t have to send us off. Let''s go back first."
"I won''t stand on ceremony with you two."
After a simple conversation, the three of them parted ways and Lin Yi drove back to the hospital.
When she returned to the resuscitation room, she saw Qiao Xin holding her cheek and staring nkly at Li Chuhan.
Seeing Lin Yi return, Qiao Xin stood up.
"Brother Lin, did you deal with those people?"
"They won''t be left alone," Lin Yi replied.
"How''s the situation here?"
"The situation is very good. Let''s keep an eye on her. She might wake up at any time."
Looking at Li Chuhan, Lin Yi''s lips curled into a warm smile.
''It''s great that I''ll have the chance to talk to you in the future.''

Chapter 1846: Are You Bullying the Weak and Afraid of the Strong?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
In the quiet emergency room, Lin Yi and Qiao Xin sat on either side of Li Chuhan.
Just like that, he apanied her quietly, hoping that she would recover in the next second.
About half an hourter, Lin Yi received a call from Qiu Yuluo and went out to answer the call.
Did someone call you?
I have news for you. Zhao Mo and the others are all staying at Union Hospital.
Theyre here? Lin Yi was surprised. Ive already warned them, and they still dare toe here?
I think this matter was arranged by their elders, Qiu Yuluo said.
From the looks of it, theyre deliberately challenging you. If they really listened to you obediently, they might as well be casting aside all their pride.
Indeed, but theyre quite bold. Its like they dont remember being beaten up.
These people are just like this. If you dont crush them to death, they wont stop, Qiu Yuluo said.
And just as you said, Zhao Mos father, Zhao He, called Ning Che and me, but we didnt say anything else. We just said that you were at Union Medical Hospital.
Do you know what ward theyre in?
Theyre on the sixth floor of the Third Inpatient Department. Theyve all been sent to the Orthopedics Department.
Alright, Ill go take a look. Lin Yi said.
Its gettingte. Rest early.
Be careful too. If theres anything you cant handle, remember to call us.
Okay.
After hanging up, Lin Yi returned to the ward and said to Qiao Xin,
Stay here for a while. Im going out to do something. Ill be back in a while.
Okay, Ill stay here. Dont worry, Brother Lin.
After giving his instructions, Lin Yi walked towards the ninth floor.
Zhao Mo and the others were arranged to stay in the intensive care unit on the sixth floor of the Orthopedics Department.
Due to the different degrees of injuries, Gu Changchuan and Lu Xuan were sent to the operating theater. The remaining people stayed here to undergo other treatments.
At this moment, the elders of the five families had gathered here to discuss the next step of their n.
Old Zhao, have you found out who that person is? Qin Yinglong asked.
Qiu Yuluo said that she doesnt know him. She said that that person is at Union Hospital and didnt reveal any other news. Zhao He said.
But I can confirm that the other party should have a good rtionship with Lin Yi. Otherwise, he wouldnt have gotten involved in this mess and gone against us.
The other families nodded subconsciously. This analysis was indeed reasonable.
Therefore, Im guessing that the person who did it should be on the 22nd floor. After were done here, well bring our people up there. Zhao He said.
Even if we cant find the culprit, we can still find that woman called Li Chuhan. It shouldnt be difficult to find out the truth. In short, we have to take revenge!
Now that Lin Yi was dead and Lin Jingzhan was not in Yanjing, nor would he participate in such a small matter. This meant they could deal with it however they wanted!
But the problem is that the other party is very skilled. Even my son was not his match. If we really fight, Im afraid it will be very difficult for our bodyguards to deal with him.
Its alright. Ive already contacted some strong people, Gu Peng said.
Whats the level of the people you found? Qin Yinglong asked.
Dont worry, they will be fine, Gu Peng said confidently.
Theyre from Team 4 of the Central Guards Brigade. Moreover, I found two of them. Theyre more than enough to deal with this matter.
After knowing that the people Gu Peng had found were from Team 4 of the Central Guards Brigade, everyone present was not too worried.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open and a man and a woman walked in.
The mans name was Zhu Junchi, and the womans name was Wei Xue. They were both old members of Team 4.
Coincidentally, when Lin Yi was carrying out a mission in Sunrise Land, Liu Hong was afraid that he would be in danger, so he sent two people over from Team 4.
These two people were Zhu Junchi and Wei Xue.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi had taught them a lesson back then.
Youre here.
After the two of them entered, Gu Peng went forward to greet them.
Mr. Gu, if theres anything, just say it. As long as its within our capabilities, there will be no problem.
Zhu Junchi knew very well the influence of these people in Huaxia. He was very polite when he spoke.
That was because he did not know if he could continue to stay in Team 4 or if would be forced out.
Therefore, he was paving the way for his future. If he could befriend the people in front of him, it would be beneficial to the future development of his family.
I invited the two of you here today mainly to teach someone a lesson. The other partys level is very high. Our bodyguards are all ordinary people, so Ill have to trouble the two of you to take action.
Its not a big problem. Not many people in Huaxia are our match.
Zhu Junchi was not boasting.
Other than the Yanlong Team, Team 4 had the highestbat power in the Central Guards Brigade. The standards of the members were amongst the top in all of Huaxia.
Dealing with such matters was not difficult for them.
Lets go now. Lets go to the 22nd floor. The other party should be there.
Dad, you must catch that person and bring him to me. I want to break his legs personally and make him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair!
Dont worry, they know what to do. Lets wait here for a while, Zhao He said.
After arranging the matters in front of them, the people from the five families brought Zhu Junchi and Wei Xue out of the room.
But at this moment, the door of the ward was kicked open by Lin Yi before he swaggered in.
Lin Yi was still dressed like before. He was wearing a mask and a cap, only his eyes were exposed. No one could see his true appearance.
Seeing Lin Yi, Zhao Mos eyes widened. He gritted his teeth and pointed at him.
Dad, hes the one who attacked us!
The expressions of the elders of the five great ns turned cold. They were just about to look for him, but they did not expect him to find them first. He was quite bold!
Lin Yis gazended on Zhao Mo and the others.
When we were at the bar, I already reminded you not toe to Union Hospital. Why didnt you listen to me?
Kid, I dont care who you are. You broke my sons leg, and well make you pay!
Lin Yi leaned against the door and said leisurely,
Why are you people always so unreasonable? It was clearly your son who brought people over to cause trouble, so I broke his leg. Now, youre even moring for me to pay the price. I really dont know what youre thinking.
Zhao He looked at Lin Yi with a cold expression.
You want to reason with us? Are you qualified to do so?!
If I remember correctly, a few days ago, when you guys went to the funeral to cause trouble, one of you was pressed to the ground by Lin Jingzhan until you knelt down. The rest of you were also pressed to the ground and bowed. At that time, I didnt see you guys being so arrogant, so to me it seems that you guys only bully the weak while fearing the strong.
The expressions of the people from the five great ns were extremely ugly.
What happened that day at the funeral home was something they would never want to mention.
Especially the Qin family. They were forced to kneel on the ground by Lin Jingzhan in public. To them, this was a great humiliation!
I dont have time for this!
Qin Yinglong snorted coldly. I dont care who you are. Even if youre covering your face, its useless to y tricks here. Well definitely make you pay with your blood!
Pay with blood? Lin Yi smirked.
You guys dont seem to have the ability.
We know your level, so weve found someone strong. Youve walked into a trap today. If we dont break your legs, this matter wont end today!
Lin Yi did not respond. His gaze swept through the crowd and finallynded on Zhu Junchi and Wei Xue.
He had noticed these two people from the start. They looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered who they were.
They were from Team 4!
Previously, during an operation in Sunrise Land, Liu Hong had concerns about safety and had them reassigned.
Back at the base, Lin Yi had given these two a stern lesson.
Thinking back, it was amusing that Qin Yinglong and his crew had brought these two ipetents back.
No matter how you looked at it, their presence seemed like a joke.
At the same time, Zhu Junchi and Wei Xue turned their gaze to Lin Yi, then looked at Gu Peng.
The person who acted is probably him, right?
Thats right.
Gu Peng replied. Hes just an insignificant person. When you take action, dont hold back. As long as you dont kill him, we can handle it.
Thats all we needed to hear.
The two stepped closer, looking at Lin Yi.
Let me introduce ourselves. Were from Team 4 of the Central Guard Brigade. Since you understand how to harness the power of the dantian, you should know what Team 4 of the Central Guard Brigade is like. At this point, resistance is futile
Whoosh!
Lin Yi didnt waste any time and kicked Zhu Junchi.
Thetter could not react in time and was sent flying by Lin Yis kick. Gu Peng, who was behind him, was knocked down!
You motherfucker!
Zhu Junchi was stunned by Lin Yis sudden attack.
The people from the five families were also extremely surprised.
Zhu Junchi was someone who came from Team 4. There was no doubting his strength. Now, he was actually sent flying with a kick!
F*ck!
Zhu Junchi didnt expect the masked man in front of him to suddenly attack. He immediately felt embarrassed. After stabilizing himself, he rushed towards Lin Yi.
More than half a year had passed since thest battle.
Lin Yi realized that Zhu Junchis skills had improved a lot during this time.
It was clear that Tilia Ind was indeed a good ce to train people.
But even so, whether it was him or Wei Xue, they were still inferior to Lin Yi.
Zhu Junchis fist came at Lin Yi apanied by the sound of cutting wind.
Lin Yi tilted his head and raised his right hand to block Zhu Junchis attack.
Zhu Junchi had a lot ofbat experience as well. He immediately changed his mind andunched a kick in the air, but this kind of attack was too weak against Lin Yi.
Even though Zhu Jun had the upper hand, Lin Yi still kicked him!
Bang!
Their calves intertwined. The dull thud was painful just to watch.
Lin Yis expression didnt change, but Zhu Junchi wasnt as calm.
He felt as if this kick hadnded on a steel te.
The pain of his bones cracking had reached an unbearable level!
All!
Zhu Junchi let out a scream and hugged his leg. Hey on the ground and struggled for a long time, unable to stand up.
Old Zhu!
Wei Xue eximed. Before this, she had never thought that Zhu Junchi would be defeated by him!
In the country, excluding the Yanlong Team from the Central Guard Brigade and given Lin Yis young age, the Team 4 members were considered the pinnacle ofbat strength.
She had never expected such an oue.
Im fine. Go and take care of him!
Wei Xue nodded and rushed straight at Lin Yi!
But this time, Lin Yi didnt hold back.
As Wei Xue rushed at him, he pped her across the face.
Then, he followed up with a kick to her body, sending her flying and leaving her in a worse state than Zhu Junchi.
Treat the fairer sex tenderly?
Not a chance.
Inparison, Lin Yi noticed that Zhu Junchi had improved significantly during this time, while Wei Xue seemed to be stagnant.
Seeing both of them knocked to the ground made the expressions of the people from the five major familiesplicated.
No one had expected that the two members from Team 4 they had brought in would end up being beaten down by him.
You, who are you? Were you from the Central Guards Brigade?!
Zhu Junchi copsed on the ground and gritted his teeth.
These questions arent for you to know, Lin Yi said, Your biggest mistake is getting involved in this mess.
Zhu Junchis expression was filled with hatred, but he did not dare to say anything.
He had already lost to him, so he was not qualified to be in any other ce.
Continue looking for people. Ill see who else you can find.
Instinctively, the members of the five great families retreated.
Let me tell you, youd better not act rashly. If you dare to attack us, you wont have a good time!
If you say that, Id like to know why thats the case.
As he spoke, Lin Yi raised his hand and pped Zhao Hes face.
You Peking hit me!
Youre not convinced?
Lin Yi kicked him again. Zhao He was sent flying and his head hit the iron cab beside him.
Blood seeped out from the corners of his mouth and forehead.
Dad!
Zhao Mo looked agitated. He wanted to get off the bed, but his leg was in a cast and he couldnt move even if he wanted to.
Zhao Hey on the ground without saying a word. His body was trembling violently from Lin Yis beating.
Only now did Lin Yi realize how good it was to be the dead person that his father had nned out.
He would attack whoever he disliked.
In any case, he was already dead. It was impossible for them to suspect him.
Lin Yi turned to look at the other four.
This time, the way they looked at Lin Yi changed quite a bit.
Zhao Hes miserable state made them look at Lin Yi with fear.
He even dared to hit Zhao He, let alone the others.
Calm down. Lets talk things out, Qin Yinglong said.
Talk nicely? Lin Yi said.
In the beginning, do you think I wanted to be enemies with you? If they hadnt gone over to cause trouble, do you think I would havee today?
Chapter 1847: Proof of My Love
Chapter 1847: Proof of My Love
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Step by step, Lin Yi walked towards Qin Yinglong and the others, forcing the
four of them into a corner.
Are you done fooling around? This is a hospital, not a ce for you to behave atrociously. If you dare to attack us, youd better think about the
consequences!
In the beginning, the four of them only looked wary.
But now, they were afraid.
This man was audacious and would really do anything.
Do you think that if I was afraid of these things, I would stille today?
At this moment, the hospitals security guards rushed in with batons in their
hands and surrounded Lin Yi.
Where did youe from? This is a hospital, not a ce for you to behave atrociously. Get out quickly, or well call the police!
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the security guards.
This has nothing to do with you. You only earn a few thousand yuan a month. Theres no need to throw your lives away over such a small matter. Your sry won t be enough to pay for the medical fees. Scram!
Lin Yi shouted coldly, and a murderous aura made the four security guards tremble.
They didnt prioritize their personal safety, but the auraing from this
mans eyes was terrifying.
p!
Lin Yi didnt waste time talking to the security guards. He raised his hand and
pped Qin Yinglong across the face.
Qin Yinglong was knocked to the ground, not daring to utter a word.
The remaining three didnt fare any better, each receiving a p and ending up in a disgraceful state. The patriarchs of the major families were in utter disarray.
They never imagined they would be treated this way.
Some things you need to understand, Lin Yi said, his tone icy. None of you
should think youre invincible. If this happens again, prepare your final arrangements. Even Wang Tingshan is dead. How long do you think you canst?
The men shivered. The mention of Wang Tingshans death instilled immense
fear in them.
Just as Lin Yi said, if even Wang Tingshan could be killed, what else was impossible?
Ive made it clear before this. You were not allowed toe to Union Medical Hospital. I dont care what stage of treatment your sons are at, in ten minutes, I dont want to see any of you here. If you ignore this, be prepared for the consequences. Dont say I didnt warn you.
But my son is still in surgery. In ten minutes
Lin Yi didnt say anything. He picked up the water bottle on the table and threw
it at Gu Peng.
Ive already f*cking warned you, yet you still dared to send him here. Do you think you can me me for this?
The boiling hot water made Gu Peng feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. It was so hot that he cried out. He quickly took off his clothes, afraid that he would be scalded.
Will you let us leave Union Medical Hospital within ten minutes?
Yes, yes, yes. Well definitely leave this ce in ten minutes.
The five families nodded in agreement. They didnt dare to say a word in front of Lin Yi.
After dealing with the five families, Lin Yi turned around and left. He took the elevator to the 22nd floor.
When he returned to the emergency room, Qiao Xin stood up.
Brother Lin, has everything been settled? They wonte again, right?
Lin Yi smiled and nodded. Dont worry, its fine. Unless they dont want to live anymore.
With Lin Yis assurance, Qiao Xin felt much more at ease.
Sister Lis condition was improving. It was only a matter of time before she recovered. Qiao Xin did not want anyone to disturb her.
Sitting next to Li Chuhan, Lin Yi held her hand gently, unwilling to let go.
Brother Lin, go and rest for a while. Ill be here to watch over you. Itll be fine, Qiao Xin said.
Lets talk about itter. When I cant take it anymore, Ill go lie down for a
while. I want to see her a bit more.
To Lin Yi, this was a hard-won happiness.
Someone like Qiao Xin would never understand this feeling of regaining something she had lost.
It waste at night, and even a city like Yanjing was quiet again.
There was no sound at all. The emergency room was abnormally quiet as Qiao
Xin leaned back in her chair and snored softly.
Lin Yi ced his hands on the side of Li Chuhans bed. He had been asleep for more than half an hour.
He hadnt rested much in the past few days, and his body had reached its limit. He needed to recharge to relieve his tired body and mind.
Thoughts in the day, dreams at night.
In his sleep, Lin Yi dreamed of many things.
When he and Qiao Xin reported to Huashan Hospital, it was she who went to the personnel department and brought them both to the department.
Then, against all objections, she allowed him to operate on Yang Guangxia.
After that, the two of them went to Beiqiao Town together, took a trip out to sea, and worked together and performed countless surgeries.
From beginning to the end, she had worked hard withoutint and was extremely gentle.
But deep down, she had a stubborn streak. When it came to things she was determined about, if you couldnt provide solid evidence to convince her, she would stick to her own beliefs.
The more Lin Yi thought about these things, the more unsettled he felt. Throughout, she neverpeted or fought for anything, asking for nothing more than a peaceful environment to live in. For her, that was the greatestfort in life.
There were only two things in her life: medical journals and racing.
Countless medical papers were proof that she still had value in this world.
And the fiery red type-R was her tool to escape this world.
Driving this car, she could outrun the fates and shake off her sadness.
In his sleep, Lin Yi dreamed that his face was covered in tears.
He dreamed that she had left him without a word. No matter how she shouted, he acted as if he did not hear her. Her gaze was fixed on him, and then the distance between the two of them grew further and further.
She wanted to chase after him, but her legs seemed to have been shackled. She wanted to approach him, but the distance between them was immeasurable.
No matter how much she shouted, it was useless.
In that helpless dream, she could not stop her tears from falling.
However, in this dream that was close to despair, Lin Yi suddenly felt a pair of gentle hands touching his face.
It was a gentle touch, light but real.
It was so real that it did not seem like a dream
Lin Yi woke up from his sleep and realized that the light touch had not disappeared.
It was just a little cold.
At this moment, he turned his head and his eyes were filled with tears.
He saw Li Chuhan looking at him with an extremely gentle gaze.
Although her face was pale and messy, her eyes were filled with love. Two streams of tears slowly flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
She wanted to speak, but because she was too weak, a thousand words were on the tip of her tongue, but she could not say anything.
Even so, she began to cry hard.
Because she didnt know how to express her emotions.
It was great to see him again.
Lin Yi held her hand tightly. He didnt know how to express his emotions. Perhaps at this time, there was no need to say or do anything. Tears were the best way to express his emotions.
It was the best interpretation of his love.
It was the best proof he could not lose her.

The sound of crying woke up Qiao Xin, who was sound asleep.
When she woke up and saw Lin Yis face covered in tears, her heart jumped to her throat, thinking that something bad had happened.
However, when she turned around, she realized that Li Chuhan had already opened her eyes. She was looking straight at Lin Yi, her eyes filled with love. Sister Li, youre awake!
Unlike Lin Yis deep pain, Qiao Xins cries were earth-shattering.
Forget the room, the entire floor could hear her cry.
Li Chuhan turned her head with difficulty and looked at Qiao Xin, whom she had single-handedly raised. Her eyes were filled with relief and joy.
She was too weak to speak, but her eyes hid nothing.
Seeing Lin Yi and Qiao Xin again, she was filled with gratitude.
Alright, stop crying. Both of you need to calm down. This isnt the time for extreme emotions, Lin Yiforted.
Even so, none of them could stop their tears.
They were so happy that they felt no joy in the world couldpare to this moment.
Help massage Sister Li. She hasnt moved for days, and her body must be stiff.
Okay.
The two of them started working together to massage Li Chuhans muscles and joints.
Li Chuhan tried to resist, but her body was too weak. Moreover, Lin Yis firm attitude left her with no choice but to let them continue.
So, the two of them tirelessly massaged Li Chuhans body until dawn.
Around seven in the morning, when Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che arrived with breakfast at the emergency room.
They were pleasantly surprised to see Li Chuhan not only awake but also able to make simple movements.
Though the three didnt have much interaction, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che knew how important Li Chuhan was to Lin Yi.
If something happened to this woman, it would be a huge blow to Lin Yi.
Hows the situation now? When will she fully recover? Ning Che asked with concern.
Shes still a little weak. Itll take at least a week for her to go back to normal, Lin Yi said with relief.
There was nothing wrong with Li Chuhan, and she had already had her stomach pumped.
She could not move much now because her body was too weak.
She had to nourish herself over the next few days and take special supplements.
He could always ask Lu Beichen for these things.
He was such a big shot. The amount of supplements he kept at home were going to pile up like a mountain. It would be a waste not to take them.
As long as youre okay.
Lin Yi took the millet porridge, mashed the egg into the bowl, and fed it to Li Chuhan, spoonful by spoonful.
The more she ate, the faster shed recover, but it was important to take it slow and not overdo it.
Let Xinxin take care of it. You go chat with them, you dont need to worry about me, Li Chuhan said weakly.
Its okay.
Im fine now, dont worry about me. Li Chuhan grabbed Lin Yis hand, her eyes gentle.
At this moment, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che finally understood why Li Chuhan held such an important position in Lin Yis heart.
Because she had showed Lin Yi unprecedented gentleness.
Brother Lin, let me do it. Youre not as attentive as me. Qiao Xin took the bowl with a smile. Lin Yi didnt resist anymore and walked up to Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo.
How did you deal with Zhao Mo and the others? Ning Che asked.
I went over and beat them up, then kicked them out of the hospital.
Beat them up? Ning Che thought for a moment and said in surprise, Dont tell me you beat up Zhao He and the others?
Of course. Ive already broken Zhao Mo and the others legs. Theres no point in bullying them anymore. In addition, Zhao He tried acting cool with me. After pping them a few times, they all became obedient.
I dont respect anyone as much as you now. You even dared to hit Zhao He.
Anyway, Im basically a dead man now. Even if they try, they wont find out who did it.
I really admire the person who came up with this n. Youre practically an ouw now, able to do whatever you want, Ning Che said.
Team Leader Qiu has been single for so long, so she must be incredibly lonely. You could take advantage of her while shes asleep. Even if she reports it, they wont trace it back to you.
Be serious. Dont drag me into your nonsense, Qiu Yuluo said, rolling her eyes.
Im just looking out for you. Constantly using your middle finger must be rough on your nail clippers.
Lin Yi and Qiao Xin both turned their gazes to Qiu Yuluo.
Its not just her middle finger. It looks like her index finger doesnt have nails either Qiao Xin said tentatively.
Qiu Yuluo,
Sister Qiu, if you cant do it, just buy an electric one. Society is quite open now. Otherwise, itll be unhygienic.
Look, a professional doctor has already spoken. You have to listen to the doctor, Ning Che said.
Scram, scram, scram. Do you think Im like you?
Because Li Chuhan had regained consciousness, the atmosphere in the room became lively again.
By the way, how did Elder Lu deal with Team 4? Lin Yi asked.
Theres no news yet, but from the looks of it, Team 4 probably wont be kept around. Even if some members arent involved, they wont be given important roles anymore. From now on, you might as well forget about Team 4. Theyre about to be history.
Whats the reaction of the family members of Team 4? Lin Yi asked.
We havent seen much reaction yet because the specific policies and measures havent been decided. They dont dare to do anything for now, Ning Che replied.
But 1 estimate it wont be long before those twenty-something families start reacting. They probably wont act individually but will instead certainly band together at some point.
Can an arm wrestle with a thigh?
This was something that Lin Yi was very concerned about because Lu Beichens strength had already exceeded his imagination. The oue of this dispute was uncertain.
Of course not. In Huaxia, no one can shake Elder Lus position. However, but if things go wrong, it could easily force him into semi-retirement.
Ning Che thought for a few seconds and said,
There is a bnce between power and influence. The higher-ups have to weigh the pros and cons before they can make the most correct decision.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes, feeling a little upset.
Given the current situation, its clear that Lu Beichen has long had issues with the Team 4 but hadnt acted on them until now.
After all, Team 4 was still fulfilling their duties.
Generally, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, the Wang family took action against Lin Yi, and Chen Guanjie secretly shot at him.
Due to this reason, Lu Beichen did not want to hold it in any longer and decided to take action at this moment.
If this matter had been dyed until his retirement, he could have resolved the issues with Team 4, leaving a clean te for his sessor in the Central Guard Brigade.
But now, with the matter being brought forward, the impact and changes would be greater.
After all, a single chopstick is easily broken, but a bundle of chopsticks is much harder to break.
This would be a significant struggle.
It was hard to say who would have thestugh.
Even if he was Lu Beichen!
Chapter 1849: Time for Burned Offerings

Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
I dont think we need to worry about this, Qiu Yuluo said.
With Elder Lus abilities, handling such matters should be a breeze. Otherwise, he wouldnt have survived so many years so smoothly.
Qiu Yuluos words were met with Ning Ches agreement. She thought the same.
For a long time, Lu Beichen had been an enigmatic figure in their minds, someone no one could quite figure out.
Although this situation was significant, it likely wouldnt affect him.
But Lin Yi didnt share this view.
With Lu Beichens capabilities, following a step-by-step approach would surely pose no problem.
The issue was that the matter had been brought forward, disrupting his ns and preventing him from addressing each issue individually.
This greatly increased the risks and uncertainties.
Apart from that, there was another factor that made Lin Yi worried.
The destruction of the Wang family would be an earth-shattering event for both Yanjing and Huaxia.
After all, they were one of the top five families in Huaxia. Their destruction in such an unusual way would definitely arouse suspicion.
But up until now, there was no ripple at all. Lu Beichen must have yed a part in this.
It was undeniable that there had to be a price to pay. As for what it was, only Lu Beichen knew.
Perhaps the higher-ups already had some reservations about him.
If the families hiding in the dark attacked him together this time, the impact would be greater than he had imagined.
The risk factor would also increase greatly, which was not a good sign.
However, there had been no movement until now. All he could do was observe in secret. He could not do much.
Lets put this matter aside for now. After all, nothing has been revealed yet. We can only take it one step at a time. Theres no need to worry about it in advance.
The two of them nodded. Ning Che asked,
Director Lis condition is getting better and better. What are your ns for the future?
This was what they were both concerned about. Now that they had gotten their revenge, there was not much reason for Lin Yi to stay in Yanjing.
Therefore, they all wanted to know what he would do next.
Lin Yi fell silent. This was a question he had been avoiding. He didnt know where else he could go other than Yanjing.
Liang Ruoxu would be okay, but he did not know how to face Ji Qingyan.
This happened so suddenly that he was not prepared at all. He had to find a suitable reason and method to go back.
Lets talk about it after some time. I n to go to Chuansheng in the next few days. Zhou Liang died because of me. No matter what, I have to go and visit him.
Lin Yis thoughts were within their expectations.
He was that kind of person. He was always the type who valued rtionships above all else.
Ill go with you. Qiu Yuluo said.
Boss Liu and I went there once before. We can bring you there.
Alright, lets talk about it in a few days. Theres no hurry.
Just call me when youre leaving.
Okay.
The two of them stayed in the hospital for a while more before leaving for the Central Guards Brigade.
Lin Yi stretchedzily and looked at Qiao Xin.
After staying here all night, Ill go back to the hotel to take a shower and sleep beforeing back.
Its fine. Im not tired, Qiao Xin said, clearly not wanting to leave.
You smell. Why doesnt a little girl care about hygiene?
Qiao Xin sniffed her body curiously. 1 know the truth. You just want to chase me away.
Although she still wanted to stay here with Li Chuhan for a while, Qiao Xin knew that she couldnt stay here and be a third wheel at this time.
Then 111 leave first.
After packing up briefly, Qiao Xin bade the two of them farewell and left, looking happy.
Sit on the bed for a while. Dont move now, or you will hurt youself.
Li Chuhan was very obedient. With Lin Yis help, she slowly moved under the nket.
I moved for a while just now. Ill help you rx your muscles and bones. You have to slowly recover at this stage.
Lin Yi reached under the nket and massaged the joints and muscles on her legs.
However, because he had been relying on supplementary nutrition for so many days, Li Chuhan had lost a lot of weight, and the muscles on her calves had be weak.
Li Chuhan sat motionless on the bed and quietly looked at the man in front of her.
Lin Yi was also focused, hoping that he could do this to help Li Chuhan rx so that she would recover soon.
It was only when he heard the sound of tears falling that he realized that two streams of water were flowing down from the corners of her eyes.
Everything is fine Why are you crying?
Lin Yi reached out and wiped away Li Chuhans tears. Im okay. Youve recovered too. Everything is going well, but youre crying. Look at what youve be.
Even so, Li Chuhans tears did not stop.
She slowly raised her arms and hugged Lin Yi gently, but she cried even harder.
She didnt know why, but looking at Lin Yi like this made her want to cry.
Lin Yi hugged Li Chuhan gently and caressed her back.
This time, Lin Yi didnt persuade her and said gently,
Go ahead and cry. Let out all the emotions in your heart. We still have a long way to go. If you werent with me, I would be so lonely.
Li Chuhan was so weak that she couldnt speak, but her tears were more expressive than any words.
Because I understand you.
You are in my eyes, and 1 am in your heart.
Gradually, Li Chuhans sobbing quieted down. Due to her weakness, she fell asleep on Lin Yis shoulder.
Lin Yi carefully settled her down and quietly left the emergency room to avoid disturbing her rest.
If things continued to improve, she would be able to leave and return to the high-care ward by evening.
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yi was stretching his body in the corridor when he received a call from Song Jinmin.
Where are you?
Union Medical, Lin Yi replied, Whats the matter?
Give me a specific address and 111 meet you there.
Soon, Lin Yi sent the exact address to Song Jinmin. Less than an hourter, he walked over casually.
When he saw Song Jinmin this time, his clothes looked much cleaner.
Unlike in Dubai, where he looked disheveled like a vagrant. It was no wonder Ning Che called him a loser.
Lin Yi was looking forward to seeing Song Jinmin, hoping to learn more about the situation in Zhonghai and Yangcheng, which he knew nothing about.
Why are you back here?
Everythings sorted out in Yangcheng, so 1 came back.
Its been a week. It was just a burial. Did it really take that long? What, did you find someone to perform rituals for me?
You Huaxians have a custom of burning offerings on the seventh day after death. We werent in a hurry to leave, so we stayed in Yangcheng to burn offerings for you on the seventh day.
Uh they even burned offerings on the seventh day, thats quite traditional..
Chapter 1850: Evil Organization
Chapter 1850: Evil Organization
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Song Jinmin took out two cigarettes and handed one to Lin Yi, who took it. Hows the situation in Yangcheng? Lin Yi asked what he wanted to know. After you were buried, your adoptive mother was hospitalized. Before I left, I heard that her condition had stabilized, but she would be discharged after some time.
Lin Yi smoked silently, taking several puffs in a row.
The others are fine. Your adoptive father and the others are quite strong. Theyre supporting the orphanage. Theres no big problems, Song Jinmin said. Is my biological mother okay?
Nothing much, she went shopping yesterday, but it seemed like she sneaked out.
What? Shopping? Did she buy my funeral clothes?
She went with M and Monica. They bought several dresses for themselves. Seriously? Im supposed to be dead, and she has the mind to go shopping? She knows youre not dead.
Huh? How did she find out?
On the day you were buried, the women stayed at the orphanage, sighing andmenting. Your dad found it annoying, so he took a few of us out for drinks. I must say, your Huaxian hot pot and roastmb leg are really good.
Stop, stop, get to the point.
The point is, we were enjoying ourselves when your mom found out, came over, flipped our table, and chewed out your dad. They almost divorced. Your dad had no choice but to tell her the truth.
Lin Yis mouth twitched. He hadnt expected his situation to be exposed in such a melodramatic way.
And how are the others?
You should know a woman named Liang Ruoxu.
Song Jinmin extinguished the cigarette in his hand and lit another one.
She went back to Yanjing after the ritual on the seventh day. Shes not in a good state, but shesparatively better off. Shes epted reality.
How is Ji Qingyan? Lin Yi asked, smacking his lips.
Shes the same. After all, you are supposed to be dead. How good could she be? Your mother has been apanying her.
My mother?
Your mess got exposed, and your moms been covering for you.
Is she working on getting Ji Qingyan toe around?
Something like that. Song Jinmin smoked and said,
If I had a mom like yours, I wouldnt have turned into a thug, hanging out with your dad, not knowing how long Id survive with my life hanging by a thread. Stop wasting time. Ill schedule a massage for youter.
Your dads character might be questionable, but you turned out alright.
Lin Yi rxed, hands behind his head. He had been worried about the situation in Zhonghai and Yangcheng, but it seemed like everything was under control with no major issues.
The only person Lin Yi was worried about now was Wang Ying.
News of his supposed death had already spread online, and she could find out about it with just a bit of digging.
He did not know how she was doing now.
As long as she wasnt as stubborn as Li Chuhan had been, things should be fine.
By the way, theres something I want to discuss with you.
Are you talking about the Ore?
Lin Yi nodded. On the way to Chepopur, we met the same group of people we met in Doora. They took the ore away.
Song Jinmin lit another cigarette and smacked his lips. He did not look too good either.
Be careful when you act in the future. Although theres no hard evidence, my instincts tell me that this is a very dangerous organization. I believe you can sense it too.
Indeed.
Before this, Lin Yi didnt realize the seriousness of the problem.
It was not until the failure of this operation that he deeply realized the horror of this organization.
Wherever there were ores, the men in ck would definitely appear!
Such powerful reconnaissance was not something ordinary person could pull off.
The fact that they could do this showed that this organization was already strong to a height that he could not reach.
Which organization do you think it might be?
Mammon.
Like the demon from the Bible.
Something like that. Song Jinmin said,
We dont know much about the organization, either. All we know is that its a very evil organization. You could describe it as inhumane.
Can you be more specific?
Song Jinmin pondered for a moment. Organizations like ours and others abroad, while not exactly good people, still have some humanity. During firefights, we try to avoid crowded ces and, if possible, we dont harm women, the elderly, or children. But this group is different. They only care about their mission, with no regard for humanity.
But theres something strangethey seem particrly obsessed with the Bass ores.
Lin Yi had noticed this long ago.
Globally, the ultimate goal of many known foreign organizations was Bass ore, though their approaches differed.
Just like this time, when he had ten kilograms of minerals, it attracted over twenty organizations to Panem.
But his fathers organization had no interest in the minerals, otherwise, this situation wouldnt have urred.
This was quite normal, like a child carrying ten kilograms of gold down the streeteveryone would covet it.
But those who coveted the gold might just be ordinary thugs, while truly wealthy individuals wouldnt be interested, much like his fathers organization. Ten kilograms of ore might be like a drizzle to them.
However, this Mammon Organization was very different.
ording to Song Jinmin, their scale should be simr to his fathers organization, but every time ores appeard, no matter the quantity, their people showed up.
It was like seeing Mr. Ma from Tencent haggling in a marketce for small profits. It doesnt add up.
Thats because their goals are different, Song Jinmin said.
Most people who get their hands on minerals will trade them for vast amounts of wealth and weapons. But the Mamon organization is different. Its said that theyre conducting various experiments at their base. We dont know exactly what experiments theyre doing, but reliable intelligence suggests that if these experiments seed, they could potentially change the worlds power structure.
Lin Yi broke into a cold sweat.
The current world order was quite stable, and changing it was no easy feat. Doesnt the rest of the world, including Meiguo, know what theyre up to? Song Jinmin flicked his cigarette ash. Of course not. They dont even know where their base is, let alone what theyre doing. Otherwise, their organization wouldnt have survived for so long.
Is this why the whole world is so obsessed with ore?
Chapter 1851: FollowMe to Chuansheng
Chapter 1851: FollowMe to Chuansheng
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Thats one way to put it. The true potential of the ores hasnt been fully realized yet, but the scientificmunity widely agrees that once the ores are properly utilized, they could indeed change the worlds power structure.
Song Jinmin continued,
Even now, a seemingly insignificant small country could be a global superpower if it breaks through with this technology. Thats why everyone is so fixated on it.
From what I know, the main feature of Bass ore is their ability to release extremely high concentrations of oxygen. Can that really have such a significant impact?
You underestimate the influence of science. Just this one feature is enough to change the world, Song Jinmin said.
Because it can be used not only to make high-precision weapons but also for many other purposes. I dont know the specifics, but I do hope the ores can advance the massage industry.
Lin Yi fell silent. There were many ways to change the world.
Wealth could change the world.
Skills could the world.
Weapons could also change the world.
Poverty, hunger, war, viruses
Everything had the ability to change the world, but no one could tell what exactly it was.
When you were on the ind, did you meet any of their people?
Ive encountered a few cases of groundless usations, but Ive never fought them head-on. Song Jinmin said.
In fact, meeting them on the ind is simr to your current situation. They have a powerful reconnaissance system and could snatch the target ore before we arrived.
But sometimes, when we have the upper hand, they dont dare to show themselves. If a smaller organization gets the ores first, theyll use force to seize them. They wont engage in battles they cant win, but when they do strike, they clear their target very quickly, leaving no trace behind.
All these years, has no one captured any of their members?
When they cant escape, theymit suicide, just like the group we encountered in Doora.
So, this Mammon organization has never made a mistake?
There have been a few instances, Song Jinmin said.
But intelligence is their pride and joy. If they find out a member has been captured and hasntmitted suicide, theyll go to any lengths to destroy the evidence.
What do you mean by any lengths?
Song Jinmin fished another pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one.
Let me give you an example. If we find the ores first, they wont dare to attack us directly and will let us take the ores. But if we capture one of their members, theyll stop at nothing, even risking a full-on battle, to kill the target.
We havent had any direct conflicts, but as you mentioned, a few years ago, a very powerful organization managed to capture a Mammon member without giving them a chance tomit suicide. Mammon retaliated ferociously. The other organization had to publicly execute the captive to make Mammon stop their assault and stabilize the situation.
If that s the case, the chances of them exposing themselves seem slim.
The Mammon organization would not fight against a powerful organization, so it was naturally impossible for them to be captured.
Besides, when facing weaker opponents, they could use their formidable strength to force them into submission, even if captured.
It may seem underhanded, but it was a good development strategy.
this doesnt sound like the behavior of a powerful organization.
Indeed, they have a unified doctrine and strict rules, aiming to develop quietly and then make a dramatic entrance one day.
How many people know about this?
Including us, not more than three, Song Jinmin said.
Those who know are all part of organizations like ours. What I told you is based on our analysis. Thats why we pay close attention to this issue when were on missions on the ind.
Are you worried theyll flip the table?
Exactly. Were just ouws who n to retire somewhere once weve made enough money. But these guys want to take over the world, so we need to be cautious.
I want to know, how do you know they want to change the world? Do you have any evidence? Lin Yi asked. Even though theyre particrly keen on collecting Bass ore, a im like that must have basis.
Thats why its hard to talk with you educated folks. These are just our guesses, but you insist on evidence, Song Jinmin said. Have you ever heard of a sixth sense?
I know the seventh dimension.
I dont know about that, never used it.
Damn, I havent used it either.
Dont dig too deep into this. What I told you is based on our analysis. You dont have to take it seriously, but just remember it, Song Jinmin said.
If we didnt have this kind of insight, we wouldnt have survived this long.
Lin Yi lit a cigarette and smoked quietly for a while.
He believed in the sixth sense.
Many times, he had to make judgments about external matters without solid evidence.
He trusted that Song Jinmin also had this ability. He might even have sharper senses than Lin Yi.
therefore, he had a hunch that Song Jinmin might not be telling him the truth.
He might know more than he said.
He just didnt want to reveal it.
He probably wouldnt tell Lin Yi even if thetter offered to treat him to a massage.
What are you thinking about? You havent spoken for so long.
Im wondering why youre the only one here. Where are the others?
Your father left first. The others will also leave one after another, Song Jinmin said.
Im here to look for you because Im prepared to get some more massages. The service on the ind is too poor. It cant bepared to the service here.
I knew it. You must have had a reason foring to find me. Lin Yi said.
But let s wait. I really dont have time to go at the moment.
Youve already recovered. Why are you still staying here?
I have other things to do. Lin Yi said.
I dont have to worry about her anymore. I n to make a trip to Chuansheng to ce flowers on myrades grave before settling the score with ck Snake.
I originally nned to help you deal with ck Snake, but since you want to go by yourself, I wont get involved. However, I can provide you with some information.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. You dont have to deal with ck Snake, but you have to go to Chuansheng with me..

Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Youre not going to force me to do manualbor, are you? Song Jinmin asked.
Dont put it that way. Im not sure if Ill need your help yet, Lin Yi said.
Besides, you work for my dad. Ill make sure he gives you a raise. You wont be helping for free.
Dont mention your dad. When we went out for hotpot andmb, your mom flipped the table. I had to pay for all the damages.
Uh
Lin Yi was at a loss for words. It was indeed a tough situation for them.
So, I think youre a bit better than your dad. At least when you go out for a massage, you know to pay for it yourself. Im quite pleased with that.
If you put it that way, I dont feel guilty anymore, Lin Yi said. Get ready. We might leave in a few days.
Is it to kill someone?
Its not that bloody, but if we encounter anyone disobedient, we might have to rough them up a bit.
I knew it wasnt anything good. Song Jinmin stretched and said, Ill go find a ce to hang out. Call me if you need anything.
Sure.
After saying goodbye, the two started to part ways. But just after a few steps, Song Jinmin turned back and said,
Give me your bathhouse membership card.
Damn!
After throwing the membership card to Song Jinmin, Lin Yi took out his phone and ordered some things for Li Chuhan. They were all expensive ingredients that were suitable for nourishing the body.
After everything was settled, he returned to the emergency room and found that Li Chuhan had already woken up.
Why dont you sleep a little longer? Lin Yi walked over.
I cant sleep anymore.
A smile appeared on Li Chuhans face, and she looked much better.
I ordered something. Itll be here in a minute.
Im not hungry yet.
Li Chuhan gently grabbed Lin Yis hand.
In her opinion, seeing Lin Yi again was the happiest thing in the world.
She was so happy that she couldnt sleep.
Li Chuhan gently leaned on Lin Yis shoulder. To her, this was the greatest happiness.
About half an hourter, Lin Yis order was delivered.
Li Chuhans appetite was much better than in the morning. She ate more than half a bowl.
In the afternoon, under Lin Yis arrangements, she even walked for a while, her condition slowly improving.
That night, after Qiao Xin arrived, Lin Yi arranged for the hospital to transfer Li Chuhan to the intensive care unit.
Compared to the treatment room, this ce was more spacious and a better view.
Later on, Lin Yi ordered some supplements, and Li Chuhansplexion improved.
Before the sky turned dark, the two of them even pushed Li Chuhan out for a walk to take a breath of fresh air so she would feel better.
With the help of the supplements, she would be discharged from the hospital in less than a week.
If you have something to do, go ahead. Xinxin will be here to keep mepany, Li Chuhan said softly as they walked upstairs.
Its fine. Ill apany you for a few more days.
Theres really no need, Li Chuhan said gently.
Im a doctor. 1 know my condition very well. I just need to slowly recover. By the time youre done, Ill be discharged.
Thats right. Brother Lin, you dont have to worry too much. Im here to apany Sister Li. It wont be a problem.
Alright, Ill arrange to go tomorrow.
Lin Yi didnt think too much about such a small matter.
That night, Lin Yi called Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che out and found a food stall to drink.
When do you n to announce that youre actually alive? Qiu Yuluo asked.
We cant keep operating as if youre dead forever.
Let things happen naturally, Lin Yi said.
Otherwise, every time I meet someone, theyll ask me why Im not dead. Im toozy to exin. Eventually, the news of my being alive will spread, and people will slowly ept it. Then, when I reappear, there will be fewer questions.
Lin Yi didnt care much about whether he appeared dead or alive.
As long as his close rtives and friends were safe, he was satisfied.
He had already confirmed this from Song Jinmin, so it didnt matter when the news got out.
Thats one way to handle it, Ning Che muttered. Have you decided when youre going to Chuansheng?
Lin Yi took a sip of beer and burped.
The sooner the better, but there are some things I need you to check for me.
Just say it. Why are you being so secretive?
I need you to find out how many people from Team 4 have been reassigned this time. I need all their information, as detailed as possible.
Their wine sses stopped in midair at the same time, and an ominous feeling arose spontaneously.
Its fine. Why are you asking about these things?
Both of them knew what Lin Yi wanted this information and did not want him to get it.
Nothing, just help me gather the information. Lin Yi finished the beer in his ss. Well set off once we have that.
Thats simple. Ill go to Boss Liu and get a copy.
Be careful. Every piece of information on the Central Guards Brigade members is top secret. If youre discovered, youll definitely be punished, Qiu Yuluo reminded.
Ill say that Lin Yi requested it. Boss Liu cant punish me then.
Thats right. If anything happens, just push the me to me. You guys mention me, and Ill take the me, Lin Yi said with a smile.
But what Im curious about is, what do you want these things for? Dont tell me you want to deal with them in secret to reduce the pressure on Elder Lu?
I dont have that much capability. Im just asking. You dont have to take everything so seriously. Just follow my instructions.
Leave it to me. Ning Che readily agreed, then nudged Lin Yi with her shoulder and said with a sly grin,
How are you doing? You were seriously injured. Have you recovered now?
Of course. Is there even a need to ask? Lin Yi said while eating a skewer of grilled kidneys. Look at me now, do 1 seem to be in any pain?
Did you get injured in that area?
Pff!
Lin Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Were eating here. Can we not talk about this?
Im just concerned about you. Ning Che said,
Look at the things I ordered today: kidneys, chives, oysters, all very nutritious. I even made sure they didnt puttro in the seafood stir-fry. See how much I care about you.
Qiu Yuluo rolled her eyes at Ning Che. I think you just want to test it out.
Hey, hey, hey, dont say it like that. Ning Che said, Of course I do. Id be good if theres an opportunity.
Naturally, after dinner, the three of them split into two groups.
Qiu Yuluo went home to an empty house, while Ning Che followed Lin Yi.
To boost the GDP of the hotel and family nning industries..

The next morning, the two of them had breakfast together at the hotel. Then, Ning Che returned to the Central Guards Brigade and prepared to help Lin Yi.
Lin Yi bought some breakfast and sent it to Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin.
Li Chuhans condition improved day by day. When he returned in the morning, she could already sit up on her own.
Brother Lin, dont you have something to deal with? Qiao Xin asked as she took the breakfast.
I still have some preparation to do. Ill leave tomorrow.
Oh okay.
After a day, Lin Yi didnt go anywhere. He stayed at the hospital to apany Li Chuhan.
Because Lin Yi gave Li Chuhan a lot of nourishment every day, she recovered faster than he had imagined.
When she went downstairs today, she did not need to use a wheelchair, but she still needed someone to support her and had to walk slowly.
However, Lin Yi didnt n to continue giving her anymore supplements. Otherwise, her body would have a disproportionate amount of nutrition. If this continued, she would get a nosebleed.
At around five oclock in the evening, Ning Che called him and told him that she had obtained the information. Then, she sent it over via email.
In the information sent by Ning Che, Lin Yi found something very interesting.
There were a total of two members from Team 4 of the Central Guards Brigade in Chuansheng.
One of them was surnamed Wei, named Wei Yulong, and the other was surnamed Zhu. She was Zhu Junchi, who he had beaten up a few days ago.
Both of them were members of Team 4.
Lin Yi smacked his lips. Wasnt this too much of a coincidence?
Then, Lin Yi looked at their information.
He realized that thepanies that these two families belonged to were not among the top in Chuansheng.
The Wei family was ranked ninth in Chuansheng and the Zhu familyspany was ranked twelfth.
If they were so small in Chuansheng, then they were nothing on the national level.
On the other hand, the Zhou familys market value was ranked sixth in Chuansheng.
It was much higher than others, but that didnt matter.
In a country like Huaxia, simply being wealthy was not enough.
Power was their ultimate goal.
Because often, a single government decree could create countless wealthy individuals.
This was vastly different from those capitalist countries.
In countries like the Meiguo and Sunrise Land, it was the wealthy who built the era.
But in Huaxia, it was the opposite.
It was the era that created the wealthy.
And the era was created by those in power.
Therefore, these great families never stopped pursuing power.
From this information, Lin Yi realized how much these great families concealed their true strength.
If one were topare the real family standings, the Wei and Zhu families would undoubtedly rank among the top two.
But now, one was ranked ninth, and the other twelfth.
They truly kept a low profile, developing themselves in secret without revealing anything.
After reading the information of the two families, Lin Yi looked at the information of the others in Team 4.
Almost all of them were the same as these two families. None of them were among the top three of their respective provinces.
They were all very low-key.
However, the more this was the case, the more worried Lin Yi was.
Families like this had patience that far exceeded that of ordinary people.
When they acted, they would astonish everyone, leaving no chance for others.
Lin Yi smacked his lips.
Bringing along Song Jinmin as a bodyguard for this trip to Chuansheng was definitely a wise decision. It would be best if he could be useful; if not, he could still serve as added protection.
The next morning, Lin Yi didnt rush to leave. He first fed Li Chuhan, then gave her a massage to rx her muscles.
Sister Li, who gives a better massage, me or Brother Lin? Qiao Xin asked with a grin.
Your Brother Lin, Li Chuhan said gently.
I figured as much. I even studied professional nursing, but my technique isnt as good as Brother Lins.
Lin Yi smirked inwardly. Did you think my skills from the past two years of intense practice were for nothing?
After finishing everything at around eight in the morning, Lin Yi contacted Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo, and the three of them met at the airport.
Since they were taking a private jet, they arrived in Chengdu in just over two hours, reaching the local martyrs cemetery before noon.
The three of them were dressed in ck. Lin Yi wore sunsses and a ck mask, holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums as they got out of the car at the cemetery entrance.
Haha, your kite is too ugly. It doesnt look good at all. Its not even as high as my butterfly kite.
Yours is not. My eagle kite was made for me by my grandfather. Its better than yours.
Tsk, lets see whose kite flies higher.
Haha, Im faster than you. My kite will definitely go higher than yours
When the three of them got out of the car, they saw a group of children flying kites at the door. Qiu Yuluo could not help but frown.
What was the deal with making so much noise in such a solemn ce?
You two go in first. Ill get someone to take care of this.
Lets not, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Let them y here.
But this is a cemetery. Dont you think its too noisy?
Lin Yi pointed in the direction of the cemetery and said calmly,
What do you think those people inside were working so hard for during their lives?
Lin Yis words stunned the two of them.
Wasnt it just so that the future Huaxian people could eat their fill and wear warm clothes so that their future children could grow up happily without worries? Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said earnestly.
Isnt the state of these children the goal they fought for back then? Now that theyve all achieved it, in my opinion, we should let them fly the kite higher and tell the people inside that Huaxia is what they looked forward to back then.
Their expressions were unnatural, but they quickly let it go. A smile appeared on their lips.
Youre right. I wasnt thinking it through.
They then walked past the child who was flying a kite at the gate. Under Qiu Yuluos lead, the three of them arrived at Zhou Liangs tombstone.
Brother, Im here to see you.
Lin Yi squatted down and ced the white chrysanthemum in front of Zhou Liangs tombstone.
He reached out and gently touched the photo on it.
If I had been more careful back then, this wouldnt have happened. Im the one at fault.
Lin Yi took out two bottles of baijiu from Ning Ches bag. He opened one bottle and ced it in front of Zhou Liangs tombstone. Then, he opened the other bottle and took a big gulp.
I might not be able to go with you for the massage, but 111 definitely bring you along when wend on the ind.
Lin Yis hand gently swept across the marble patterns. No matter what, we cant lose anyone else in Team 1.
Lin Yi took the remaining half bottle and drank it in one gulp.
I know that youre the only son in the Zhou family, but dont worry. As long Im around, I can guarantee that your Zhou family will prosper. Ill help you take care of your parents. Although I cant rece you, I can help you take care of them.
Hu
Lin Yi exhaled heavily. Dont be anxious down there. Ivemitted too many sins in my life. 1 cant go to heaven. In a few decades, Ill go down to apany you. Wait for me.
With that, Lin Yi sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone for a long time. Thissted for more than half an hour before he regained hisposure. He stood up and bowed to the tombstone before leaving the cemetery with the two women.
When the three of them came out of the cemetery, the children flying kites outside were stillughing.
For some reason, the kite were now flying higher, and theughter had be louder.
They seemed to have be even happier..

Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The three of them returned to the car. Qiu Yuluo was tasked with driving, so she turned around and asked Lin Yi.
Where to now?
Lin Yi closed his eyes and leaned against the chair in the back row.
Do you know Zhou Liangs family? What are his parents doing?
I know. Ive been there once before. Qiu Yuluo nodded.
I heard that the family business has been handed over to his nephew to manage. The old couple are both at home. This incident was a big blow to them. Theyll probably stay at home for a while.
Then lets go over and visit.
Are you sure? Qiu Yuluo probed.
As the team leader of Team 1,1 have to go over and visit since something like this happened.
Im afraid they wont like you, Qiu Yuluo said.
If you really want to go, you have to be mentally prepared.
Its okay. Lets go.
Qiu Yuluo didnt say anything else. Since Lin Yi had said so, she would apany him.
After starting the car, Qiu Yuluo recalled the route and drove towards Zhou Liangs house.
Zhou Liangs house was in the vi area of Huanhua Creek. It was a typical nice neighborhood in Chengdu.
If it was in Zhonghai, it would be at the same level as the Jiuzhou Pavilion.
The Zhou familys vi was not as small as Vi No. 1. There was arge garden outside.
There were a few luxury cars parked in the courtyard. One was a Phantom, one was a Mulsanne, and the other was a white Mercedes-Benz G-ss. They looked very clean and in.
It also filled the entire vi with a gloomy aura.
Even the vibrant grass and blooming flowers in the courtyard did not bring life to this family.
The three of them parked at the entrance. As they entered, they were stopped by the security guard at the door.
You three are
Qiu Yuluo showed her ID. Were Zhou Liangs colleagues. Weve been here before. This time, were here on behalf of our superiors to express our condolences.
Seeing Qiu Yuluos ID, the two bodyguards took a closer look at her.
He seemed to have some impression of her, so he opened the door and let them in.
However, the most important thing was the document in her hand. No matter what the reason was, he had to let someone with this identity pass.
After entering, the three of them walked towards the vi step by step.
At the same time, there were three people sitting on the sofa in the vis hall. Two of them were a middle-aged couple. They were Zhou Liangs parents, Zhou Xicheng and Fan Shuxian.
Next to Fan Shuxian sat a young woman in her mid-twenties. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her aura was simr to Qiu Yuluos. Every move she made gave off the aura of an older sister.
Ihe womans name was Fan Jiayi. She was Fan Shuxians niece and Zhou Liangs cousin. After graduating from university, she had been working in the Zhou familyspany as a deputy general manager.
She came over today to talk to Zhou Xicheng about work, but looking at the
two of them, she held it in and did not say anything.
Eldest Aunt, the weather outside is quite good. Let me take you out for a walk, Fan Jiayi said as she held Fan Shuxians arm.
Ill sit for a while. Dont worry about me. Itll be fine.
Fan Jiayi didnt feel good either, but the dead couldnt be resurrected. She couldnt stay like this forever.
Hey, lets go out for a walk.
Zhou Xicheng stood up and sighed heavily.
When it came to matters of joy and sorrow, a mans emotions were naturally more restrained than a womans.
Even though Zhou Xicheng was also sad, after so many years of it being eroded by the waves, he had long cultivated his iron heart.
Unfortunately, his talent was limited. He did not have much talent when it came to exerting force in his dantian, so he did not have the chance to join the Central Guards Brigade.
However, ever since his son passed the Central Guards Brigades trial and became an official member, he had been prepared for this.
This was because he had already learned from his father what kind of ce the Central Guards Brigade was.
Opportunities and risks coexisted. While being able to quickly strengthen the family, the risks members faced were not small, just like on this mission. Therefore, he had long epted this matter.
He didnt me anyone. The heavens just didnt give the Zhou family any good fortune.
However, as a father, Zhou Liang was still the only son in the family. His good son was gone just like that. He also needed some time to ease the suppressed emotions in his heart.
Eldest Aunt, just listen to my uncle. Lets go out for a walk and rx. Its not a
good idea to stay at home all the time. Fan Jiayiforted her.
Okay, lets go, Fan Shuxian said listlessly.
With Fan Jiayis help, the three of them walked outside.
Just then, Lin Yi and the other two walked in.
The Zhou family wasnt unfamiliar with Qiu Yuluo because she had attended Zhou Liangs burial ceremony, but they did not have any impression of Lin Yi and Ning Che.
Team Leader Qiu, youre here.
Seeing Qiu Yuluo, Zhou Xicheng forced a smile and went over to greet her.
Qiu Yuluo nodded and stepped aside to let Lin Yi and Ning Che step forward.
These two are my colleagues. Back then, because we had other matters to handle, we couldnte here. This time, we came mainly to see you. If you need anything, just let us know. As long as we can do it, consider it done. learn Leader Qiu, youre too kind. My father had previously served in the
Central Guards Brigade. 1 know very well what kind of ce this is. No one would want something like this to happen. You dont have to me yourselves.
You were just doing your job, Zhou Xicheng said.
Lin Yi took off his mask and stood in front of the couple.
Im the team leader of Team 1 of the Central Guards Brigade. Zhou Liang was my subordinate. I have to take responsibility for what happened to him. I didnt protect him well. I apologize to the two of you here.
Youre the team leader of Team 1?!
The Zhou family was especially surprised to know Lin Yis identity.
When they went to Yanjing to attend the memorial service, they found out the whole story.
His son and the team leader of Team 1 had died at the same time.
But now, how did hee back to life?
This was a misunderstanding. Im not dead, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Im sorry that I could onlye over now. I know that no matter what you say, it will be difficult to make up for the pain in your hearts. The fault lies with me.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che both looked at Lin Yi.
the Central Guards Brigade was a ce that suffered great losses in battle.
There was no need for him to put all the me on himself.
Lin Yi hadnt wanted this either. It was unfair to me him.
My son left with you
Fan Shuxian looked at Lin Yi and said shakily.
Yes. We were on a mission together in Panem, but my poor decision-making eventually led to the tragedy.
Piack!
Caught off guard, Fan Shuxian raised her hand and pped Lin Yi hard on the face.
The sound of ps resounded endlessly!
Chapter 1855: Offering Help
Chapter 1855: Offering Help
Editor. EndlessFantasy Trantion
Auntie, you
Nobody move!
Just as Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were about to step forward, Lin Yi stopped them.
Fan Shuxian grabbed Lin Yis clothes and sobbed.
You were his team leader. Why didnt you protect him well? We only have one
son. If he leaves, how am 1 going to live?!
Lin Yi stood rooted to the ground like a tall pine tree.
If he could use this to let her vent her emotions, Lin Yi felt that it was worth it.
Fan Shuxian punched Lin Yis chest.
As a mother, she had lost her mind. It was impossible for someone who had never experienced the grief and indignation of losing her son to empathize with her.
Alright, stop fooling around!
Zhou Xicheng shouted coldly, Help your aunt into the house. Ill talk to these
people.
Got it, Uncle.
Fan Shuxian was helped upstairs, and the first floor of the vi fell silent.
Im really sorry, Team Leader Lin. My wife lost herposure.
Its okay. Im responsible for this. Auntie has experienced the pain of losing her son. 1 can understand how she feels.
Team Leader Lin, if you say that, it will make in seem like our Zhou family doesnt know the big picture. Zhou Xicheng said.
When my son joined the Central Guards Brigade, we knew what kind of ce it was. When something happened during the mission, we could only say that we were unlucky and couldnt me anyone else. The situation on the battlefield changed. Youre not a god, so its impossible for you to take care of so many people. I understand all of this.
Just as the two of them were talking, Fan Jiayi came downstairs.
How is your eldest aunt? Zhou Xicheng asked him.
She took a piece of Dailixin and is already asleep.
Sigh
Zhou Xicheng shook his head with a sigh. She couldnt keep relying on medication every day to maintain her emotional stability.
Jiayi, we have guests. Go make a pot of tea.
Got it.
Zhou Xicheng weed Lin Yi and the others to the sofa and said politely,
Team Leader Lin, is there anything specific you need today? If so, just let me know. Ill do my best to cooperate.
Youre overthinking it. Were not here for anything specific. We mainly came to pay our respects to Zhou Liang and to see if theres anything we can help with.
Thank you for your concern, Team Leader Lin. The familys business is now managed by my nephew, Zhou Xicheng said.
Besides that, my niece is also involved. With the two of them, things are under control for now.
What are your ns for thepanys future? Lin Yi asked.
I dont have any thoughts for the time being, Zhou Xicheng said without hiding anything.
Im afraid I wont be able to return to thepany for the next year or so.
And what about the future?
Future
Zhou Xichang sighed. We dont know anything of the future yet. Im not young anymore. If I still have the energy after a year or so, I might go back. But if 1 dont have the energy, 111 take a back seat.
Lin Yi nodded. If Zhou Liang didnt die, he wouldnt have aged to this state. He couldst at least another eight to ten years.
At that time, Zhou Liang could also make contributions and return to Chuansheng with all the honor and resources he had umted.
But now, the Zhou familys n had beenpletely disrupted.
After suffering such a huge blow, he probably did not have the energy to
persevere.
Uncle, actually, I have some business matters to discuss with you, Fan Jiayi said.
What would that be?
Zhou Yuan has finalized a few projects in the past few days. I feel that there are some unreasonable points and want to ask your thoughts.
Leave it for now. Well talk about it tomorrow.
Got it.
From Zhou Liangs information, Lin Yi had some understanding of the Zhou familys situation.
This person called Zhou Yuan was Zhou Liangs cousin. He was two years older than him and had been studying in Meiguo. He had only returnedst year.
The woman in front of him should be his cousin, Fan Jiayi.
Information on these family members was stated very clearly in Zhou Liangs folder.
Uncle Zhou, we came this time because we were afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation. Lin Yi said.
-If you need anything when ites to do, you must tell me. I dont dare to say anything else, but 1 can still help the Zhou family reach another level.
Another level!
Fan Jiayi was surprised to hear this.
How capable was his cousins superior to be able to do this?
Thank you, Mr. Lin. Youre still thinking about our Zhou family at a time like this.
Its my job.
With that, Lin Yi stood up. Since theres nothing else happening for now, well leave.
Ill see you off.
Uncle Zhou, please dont. We can walk on our own.
After rejecting Zhou Xichengs good intentions, Lin Yi and Ning Che walked out, and Qiu Yuluo slowed down.
She chatted with Zhou Xicheng for a while.
It was mainly about Lin Yis identity. He didnt want them to be exposed now.
After giving instructions, Qiu Yuluo followed him into the car.
The Zhou familys matter has been settled. Whats the next step?
The woman sitting next to Zhou Xicheng was his niece, Fan Jiayi, right? Lin
Yi said.
Judging from their rtionship, it should be the case.
She just said that the Zhou familyspany has a few projects that seem to be problematic. Can you contact her? Now that were here, if theres really a problem, help her deal with it. Lin Yi said.
Zhou Liang is gone. We cant just ignore his matters.
Consider it done.
Ning Che looked at his watch. I dont think well be able to leave today. Lets find a hotel and settle our amodation first. Well invite her out for dinner tonight and find out.
Sure.
At four oclock in the afternoon, the four of them checked into the Ritz-Carlton in Chengdu and invited Fan Jiayi to a Western restaurant. They wanted to talk to her about the Zhou family.
Fan Jiayi had a bold and confident personality, usually presenting herself with a strong, authoritative demeanor.
But when she saw Lin Yi and the other two, that confident demeanor vanished. Despite their amicable attitudes, their presence was overwhelming.
She felt like a monkey trapped under the Five Finger Mountain,pletely ufortable.
-Dont be nervous. Were allrades of your brother. Were here to see what we can do for the Zhou family. Although we cant bring him back to life, we cant let the Zhou family fall into decline, Qiu Yuluo said.
-My brother died in the line of duty. The government has already given us many benefits, and we cant ask for more, Fan Jiayi replied.
This isnt about the government, its from our personal perspective, Qiu Yuluo exined.
Im the general manager of Zhonglian Group, shes the general manager of Baolong Group, and this one is the chairman of Lingyun Group. We should be able to provide some support to your familys business..
Chapter 1856: A New Path
Chapter 1856: A New Path
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
You guys actually still
Fan Jiayi was surprised to learn of their identities.
This was because any one of these threepanies was more famous than her uncles Hercules Group.
Especially Lingyun Group. Not only was it the overlord of the semiconductor industry, but it was also a super unicorn with endless potential.
Once it was listed, their chairman might even be the richest man in
Huaxia.
Now, this person was sitting in front of her.
It was unbelievable just thinking about it.
Im telling you all this because I want to prove to you that I didnte looking for you with any ill intentions. Now that your cousin brother is gone and their family doesnt have any other children, we have to take care of the Zhou family, Qiu Yuluo said.
If Hercules Groups operations are going well, then thats great, and we don t need to worry. But if there are other issues, you can tell us, and well do our best to help, Ning Che said.
Well
Fan Jiayi hesitated. She was just a deputy general manager, and discussing such matters without consulting her uncle didnt feel right.
Dont hesitate. Just speak openly, Ning Che encouraged.
We called you over because we overheard you mentioning to your uncle that there were some issues with a project. Were curious and want to understand whats going on. We have no ill intentions and hope you can be open with us.
Fan Jiayis gaze swept over the three of them.
She saw that their expressions and tone were sincere.
Additionally, since they wererades of her cousin, their character was undoubtedly trustworthy.
Moreover, given the current state of her aunt and uncle, they were not in the right mind to manage thepanys affairs. If this issue dragged on too long, it could indeed be a problem.
Before this, Zhou Yuan and I both worked in my unclespany. He was the general manager, and I was the deputy. But after my cousins passing, my uncle handed thepany over to him, Fan Jiayi began slowly.
Then I discovered that a while back, he secretly registered apany. Recently, thepany signed three major projects, but he transferred them over to his ownpany. I felt something was off and wanted to discuss it with my uncle. But today, he wasnt in the right state, so I didnt mention it.
It seems like hes moving assets, Lin Yi said.
Indeed. Qiu Yuluo nodded.
It was verymon forpanies to sign projects and then outsource them.
To put it more inly, it was like putting up a sign.
However, the outsourcedpany was Zhou Yuans own.
The three big projects signed werepleted in just a few days. This was very suspicious.
Ning Che looked at Fan Jiayi. Whats the name of thepany that Zhou Yuan secretly registered? Also, whichpany signed the project with yourpany?
Zhou Yuanspany is called Lino Manufacturing. Fan Jiayi said.
One of the parties who signed the project with ourpany is Fengneng Group, and the other is Keyang Group. Theyre both rtivelyrgepanies in Chuansheng, but theyre not as big as my unclespany.
Fengneng Group? Keyang Group?
Lin Yi muttered and the three of them looked at each other.
They had some impression of these twopanies.
Because these twopanies were Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchis family spanies.
Both of them were members of Team 4!
Theyre really heartless. Theyve already set their sights on the Zhou family after what just happened.
Hearing Qiu Yuluos words, Fan Jiayi felt that something was wrong.
She felt that there was something she did not know.
Do you know about these twopanies?
I know a little, but dont worry, we will handle this matter well. Although Zhou Liang is gone, as long as we are around, the Zhou familys business will not be touched.
Lin Yi gently cut a piece of beef and said indifferently,
Whether its now or in the future, I wont let anyone who dares to have designs on the Zhou family off.
Lin Yi said these words for Fan Jiayi to hear.
Given Zhou Xichengs current condition, its unlikely he would return to thepany in the future. The only option was to find a professional manager.
That person, Zhou Yuan, had ill intentions and must be dealt with.
The only trustworthy person right now is this woman, Fan Jiayi.
However, one can never be sure of someones true intentions. While she seemed reliable now, no one can predict what might happen in the future.
So Lin Yis words were a warning to her: dont cause any trouble in the future, or he wont let her off.
Thank you all very much.
Fan Jiayi said, raising her ss to toast the three of them.
Because they werent very familiar with each other, the meal ended in less than two hours.
The three of them returned to the hotel and went to soak in the hot springs together.
One thing is certain, the Wei and Zhu families are nning to use this opportunity to swallow up the Zhou family. We should act quickly, or they 11 seed, Qiu Yuluo said.
But Im a bit puzzled. Money shouldnt be that important to them. Why are they in such a hurry? Ning Che asked.
Her question echoed Qiu Yuluos own doubts.
Although the Zhou family was a prestigious family, they were not considered top-notch.
However, they were so anxious to seed that it felt like they had gone crazy. Other than that, families like theirs valued power the most. But now, they felt like capitalists who had lost their minds.
Because they saw the situation clearly, Lin Yi said.
What do you mean?
Elder Lu transferred everyone from Team 4 back. On the surface, they re under investigation, but in reality, he wants to rece them and give the Central Guards Brigade a huge overhault. From now on, there wont be a second voice. Lin Yi said calmly.
But such actions undoubtedly disrupted the long-standing ns of the major families within the Central Guards Brigade. For years, their goal was simple: to have their children gather achievements in the Central Guards Brigade, then make significant strides into the circles of power. Now, their ns have been destroyed by Lu Beichen. In the future, pursuing this path will no longer be possible, leaving them with only one direction to develop: capital. Thats why they are in such a hurry. If they dy, someone else might seize the opportunity.
After Lin Yis exnation, the two of them understood the situation.
Having lost their qualifications to pursue power, they naturally sought new development directions.
And the only remaining path was the capital market!
After a brief pause, Ning Che sshed some water on herself.
ording to what you said, not only is the Zhou family in danger, but your Lingyun Group is also at risk. As a unicorn in the semiconductor industry, Lingyun Group is a prime target, and many will likely covet it..
Chapter 1857: Undercurrent
Chapter 1857: Undercurrent
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Youre right, but I think we can treat this as a signal. Lin Yi said.
Normally speaking, with my rtionship with Lu Beichen, even if I die, no one would dare to have ns toward Lingyun Group. However, if these people want to join forces to attack Lu Beichen, the Lingyun Group will definitely be their target because Elder Lu can no longer restrict them.
They were silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
If they want to touch your Lingyun Group, the Wei and Zhu families can not do so by relying on their own capabilities. They have to join forces with other families. There will have to be at least ten families, Ning Che said.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che hadnt noticed it before, but now, they realized how terrifying Lin Yis behemoth was.
Whether they wanted to take him down or the Lingyun Group he founded, trying to do it alone was impossible.
They had to work together to have some hope.
If thats the case, the other families wont be idle either, Qiu Yuluo said.
The semiconductor industry is the hottest sunrise industry right now. Many people are eyeing it greedily. If they can carve out a piece from Lingyun Group, it would immensely benefit their own family businesses. These wolves and tigers will certainly band together; no one wants to fall behind.
That depends on their stance toward Elder Lu. Ning Che said.
If they have designs on Elder Lu, they will definitely make a move on the Lingyun Group. If they dont, everything will be fine. The Lingyun Group will be safe.
Qiu Yuluo poured some water on herself and looked at Lin Yi.
If the families associated with Team 4, all twenty-something of them, really make a move, do you think Lingyun Group can withstand it?
Definitely. We wouldnt even need others. Qi Xianzhao, He Yuanyuan, and Tian Yan alone could handle them, Lin Yi said confidently.
By others, Lin Yi was referring to Ji Qingyan.
Ji Qingyans business acumen far surpassed Qi Xianzhaos. If those three joined forces, those clowns attempting to challenge Lingyun Group wouldnt stand a chance.
The only entities capable of defeating them would be colossal giants like Poly and Huaxia Merchants Group, backed by national power for a dimensional strike. Otherwise, there was no domestic rival capable of posing a threat.
Are you that confident? Ning Che said with a smile.
Of course. A portion of the shares of my photolithography research institute are owned by Huarun Group. If the matter really gets out of hand, Shen Shuyi will take action.
Shen Shuyi
At the mention of Shen Shuyis name, the two of them were filled with respect.
Although they worked in the Central Guards Brigade, the two of them were also involved in the familys business and knew of Shen Shuyi.
She was extremely impressive.
In the business world, she was basically the ceiling for women.
I forgot about this. President Shen is your future mother-inw.
Thats true, but not many people know about her investing in the photolithography machine. Therefore, we can boldly test their attitude towards Elder Lu.
We can wait for news from the Lingyun Group, but we have to deal with the Zhou family as soon as possible.
Zhou Liang is gone. The Zhou family only has onepany left. If they end up being used, I would have let Zhou Liang down.
Lin Yi washed his face with water and sighed. Thats what I was thinking as well.
Dont be anxious. Ive already contacted Fan Jiayi and asked her to send me the details of the project. Well know whats going onter.
Lin Yi nodded and stood up from the hot spring.
Lets go and find a ce to drink.
The two girls also stood up with Lin Yi, sshing a pool of water. Their fair thighs made it impossible for anyone to look away.
After leaving the hotel, the three of them found a roadside stall.
They ordered some barbecue and side dishes and prepared to drink more. Otherwise, they wouldnt be able to sleep.
Just as the barbecue was served, Qiu Yuluo received a call from Fan Jiayi.
The relevant information has been sent over.
What exactly happened?
They n to partner up and build thergest water park in Terra in Zhonghai, with an investment of 48 billion.
Qiu Yuluo said, chewing her food slowly.
But theres an interesting point: this water park also includes a private yacht business.
Private yacht business? Ning Che put down her chopsticks. Doesnt Lingyun Group have Wangjiang Dock, which deals with exactly that and at a significant scale?
Exactly, this is a signal that they want to swallow Lingyun Group, Qiu Yuluo said.
I bet these people have already met, otherwise they wouldnt dare go after Lingyun Groups business.
The two nodded, and Ning Che said.
What we know for sure now is that these families have joined forces. A major storm is definitely brewing.
Even though were certain, we still need to keep a close eye on Lingyun Group to further confirm this, Qiu Yuluo said.
But the most important thing right now is handling the Zhou familys situation.
Both women looked at Lin Yi, waiting for his opinion.
This is simple. You can contact Liang Ruo Xu and exin the situation to her. One word from her can halt the project, Lin Yi said.
Then we just wait for the other side to take the bait.
Halting the projects of a fewpanies would definitely provoke them.
They would investigate the cause, putting Lin Yi in a proactive position, allowing him to manipte the situation ording to his own strategy.
They drank until past ten that night, slightly tipsy, before returning to the hotel.
Before bed, Lin Yi called Qiao Xin to check on Li Chuhan. Finding everything in order, he slept peacefully.
As for contacting Liang Ruo Xu, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che handled it. Lin Yi didnt need to worry.
The next morning, around eight, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were up, starting to deal with the matters of the threepanies.
Liang Ruoxus actions were swift and effective. Half an hour after Qiu Yuluos call, she halted the projects of the threepanies, leaving them no chance to proceed.
Chengdu Yui Hotel was the highest-ss hotel in the area. It was slightly higher-ss than Lin Yis Penins Hotel.
This was also the hotel that ordinary people most feared.
The per capita fee of 1,000 yuan was not something ordinary people could afford.
Yui Hotel, Room 302 measured about 30 square meters. It was not big, but it was abnormally stylish.
A young man sat in the private room, facing arge table of dishes. He did not say a word and his expression was ugly.
And this person was Zhou Xichengs nephew, Zhou Liangs cousin, Zhou Yuan!
At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and two young men entered.
Old Zhou, why are you looking for us?
Chapter 1858: Using Harsh Methods
Chapter 1858: Using Harsh Methods
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The person who spoke was Zhu Junchi. He was dressed casually and hadbed his short hair. He was dressed rather inly.
The person standing next to him was a little taller than him. He was another member of Team 4, Wei Yulong.
In Team 4, Wei Yulong was slightly older. He was already 37 years old and his strength was considered top-notch.
Although he was not young, he had a baby face and looked about the same age as Zhu Junchi.
The two of them were dressed very simrly, not looking like anything special. Although he was wearing branded clothes, he kept a low profile and did not show off at all.
This was also a habit that they had developed over the years. After being molded by the Central Guards Brigade, their living habits were different from those rich yboys. They looked proper and reserved.
You two are finally here. Lets talk while we eat.
After entering the private room, the two of them sat down. Zhu Junchi was the first to open the Maotai and fill the sses of the other two.
The three of them clinked their sses and took a sip. Zhu Junchi said,
Old Zhou, weve known each other for a while. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you putting on such a show?
The Zhonghai project has been suspended. We dont know when it will be able to start.
Stopped? How is that possible?! Zhu Junchi said in surprise.
There were no problems with the official process for the project. Why was it stopped?
They said that that piece ofnd had other uses, so they urgently stopped it,
Zhou Yuan cursed.
This is too sudden. Why do 1 feel that something is wrong? Zhu Junchi said doubtfully.
If Im not mistaken, it should be Liang Ruoxu, Wei Yulong said.
Liang Ruoxu? Liang Xianghes granddaughter?
Wei Yulong nodded and said in a deep voice,
Liang Ruoxu is Lin Yis lover. Now that hes dead, shell definitely help. Isnt she overstepping? The private yacht project is just one part of our water park, yet shes interfering with even that? Zhu Junchi said indignantly.
You have to understand, anyone from the Liang family is never a pushover, Wei Yulong replied.
I suspect she must have sensed something, which is why she reacted this way. Otherwise, theres no reason for such a strong response.
Really? Weve been so discreet, and she still figured it out?
Zhu Junchi felt a chill run down his spine. If Liang Ruoxu could discern even this, her insight was truly terrifying.
Wei, arent you exaggerating a bit? Actually, theres something else you all dont know, Zhou Yuan said.
What happened now? Wei Yulong lit a cigarette and asked in a low voice.
The Central Guards Brigade went to my uncles house.
Hearing this, their expressions changed.
Who went?
Two women and a man. Zhou Yuan said.
One of the women even attended my cousins burial ceremony. Looks like she
has some status.
1 know who it is. Zhu Junchi said.
It must be Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che. Thest man should be Tao Cheng. Theyre all veterans of Team 3 and often hang out together. They must have been sent by the higher-ups to express their condolences to your Zhou family.
Thats unlikely. The Central Guards Brigade sacrifices members every year, but Ive never seen the organization send out such a huge force to express their condolences. Wei Yulong said,
Team Leader-level figures donte and go as they please. Zhu Junchi spun his wine ss and also felt that something was amiss. He looked at Zhou Yuan and asked,
Other than that, what other information do you have?
Theres nothing else. Zhou Yuan said.
I only reced the security guards at home with my people. 1 dont know what they talked about.
I dont think this matter is simple. Zhou Yulong said.
They must have discussed something in secret. Otherwise, they wouldnt have made such a big move.
I think so too. With Liang Ruoxus status, shes not someone ordinary people can mobilize. It must be the result of people from the Central Guards Brigade interfering. Zhu Junchi said.
By the way, I heard you mention before that theres a very irksome person in yourpany who seems to have been guarding against you. Whats her name again?
Fan Jiayi is my aunts niece. Shes the deputy general manager of thepany.
I think she might have something to do with this. You should focus on her.
Zhou Yuan nodded withoutmenting.
With Uncles current state, it was unlikely that he would participate in thepanys matters.
The only person who could possibly oppose him was Fan Jiayi!
He had to start with her!
In truth, Fan Jiayi is nothing. I can easily take care of her. The main problem is still with the Central Guards Brigade. Without their support, the project wouldnt have been stopped.
Just deal with Fan Jiayi. Well take care of Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che.
Wei Yulong was fiddling with his phone.
Theyre already in Chengdu. Next, we need to use our resources to locate where theyre staying and discuss this matter in detail.
It wont be difficult to find them. Given their status, theyll be staying in high-end ces. I can name most of the five-star hotels in Chengdu, so it wont take long to track them down.
Zhu Junchi leaned back in his chair and looked straight ahead, as if in a daze. Given their rtionship with Lin Yi, if theyvee to handle this, they likely wontpromise easily. The chances of negotiating are low. Heh heh Wei Yulong chuckled coldly and said slowly.
If the soft approach doesnt work, well use the hard approach. Even if they band together, those two families cant stir up much trouble.
Zhu Junchi looked at Wei Yulong.
Dont tell me you want to fight them?
So what if ites to that? Were still members of the Central Guards Brigade. Sparring betweenrades is perfectly normal, and the higher-ups wont say anything, Wei Yulong replied.
Moreover, their families are about the same size as ours. Theres no need to be afraid.
Brother Wei, I can tell now. You look kind on the outside, but youre cold on the inside. Zhu Junchi said.
If it were me, I wouldnt dare to use such a method.
Theyre overestimating themselves, thinking they fear nothing because they used to hang out with Lin Yi. Now that Lin Yi is dead, theyre still acting like they have power. Its time to set them straight.
Zhu Junchi picked up some food from the table, a mocking smile ying on his lips.
I think thats a good idea. Lets do it.
Since we have a n, lets have a toast and then get to work. We cant afford to dy any longer, Zhou Yuan said, raising his ss..
Chapter 1859: Talking to the Dead
Chapter 1859: Talking to the Dead
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
At around ten in the morning, Lin Yi woke up and called Qiao Xin immediately to ask about Li Chuhan.
Based on the results of the examination, Li Chuhans body had all but recoveredpletely.
However, she was still a little weak. If she walked for a long time, she would still experience chest tightness and shortness of breath.
However, this was only temporary. As long as she slowly recuperated and underwent a period of rehabilitation, there would be nosting issues.
After calling Qiao Xin, Lin Yi got up and washed up before calling Ning Che. Are you up? Lets go eat.
Lets talk about it at noon. Were out shopping.
Huh? Shopping?
Everything has been arranged. All thats left is to wait for the results, so 1 came out to shop. Ning Che said.
Youre awake?
Yeah.
Finish your breakfast yourself. I dont have time to talk to you today.
Fine.
After hanging up, Lin Yi went to the restaurant on the second floor to eat something before taking a taxi to the cemetery.
Lin Yi didnt know what day it was today. Although there werent any kids flying kites outside, there were more people inside.
However, in a ce like this, even if there were many people, it would not be as crowded as the mall.
However, he could only see a dozen or so people across the entire area.
Lin Yi wore a mask and a cap as he walked towards Zhou Liangs tombstone. When he was young, Lin Yi had once visited a ce like this. Because he was young, he didnt feel anything even when visiting.
But now, the feeling was very different.
This seemed to be an isted space. As long as someone stepped through the door, they would be enveloped in sadness.
Just like a person, no matter how happy they were, the moment they entered the door of the ICU, they would feel suppressed and find it difficult to control their emotions.
Even someone as strong as Lin Yi was no different.
Every time he came here, the events in Panem would be vivid in his mind.
The two of them went to the slums together
After staying in the sewers for three days and three nights, he fled to Chepopur.
Everything seemed felt like it had happened yesterday, and it wouldnt go away.
At the same time, those memories stabbed into his heart like a knife.
Until now, he had yet to ovee the hurdle in his heart.
Step by step, Lin Yis footsteps were slow and heavy. He walked for more than ten minutes before reaching Zhou Liangs tombstone.
The chrysanthemums in front of Zhou Liangs tombstone were arranged as high as a small mountain in sharp contrast to the other graves.
After all, the families of the other martyrs were considered ordinarypared to Zhou Liang.
The people who came to pay their respects were mostly doing so with nothing but their sincerity. They would not be like rich people like them who would arrange so many formalities.
These were two different lifestyles, and one could not simply judge who was right and who was wrong.
Lin Yi walked past the other tombstones and sat cross-legged on the ground. The people around them were puzzled by this way of paying their respects. This was not an ordinary cemetery. It was the first time they had seen such a person in such a solemn ce.
However, this persons eyes were quite good-looking. The young girl who was paying her respects thought to herself.
Lin Yi didnt care about the strange gazes of the others. He took out the wine he bought and ced it in front of the tombstone.
Then, Lin Yi lit a cigarette for Zhou Liang and put it together with the wine.
Do you have enough money to spend down there? Ill burn some for you when
I have time.
Lin Yi took a sip of wine and poured another bottle into the ground.
What alcohol tolerance do you have now? Drink more.
Lin Yi cursed to himself like a fool, then fell to the ground again.
It was as if the wine that seeped into the ground could be drunk by Zhou Liang. The people who were paying their respects at the side were shocked when they saw Lin Yis strange appearance. They felt that this person was a little abnormal.
He seemed to be mentally ill, so they hurriedly ended their own mourning and left.
Whats wrong with that person? Is he mentally unstable?
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman. When Lin Yi was paying his respects to Zhou Liang, she was standing in front of another tombstone a few meters away.
The person buried below was her nephew.
However, because of Lin Yi, she ended the funeral in a hurry. She felt a little dissatisfied.
Maybe hes too sad. Lets go, the young girl said.
She could tell from Lin Yis eyes that he was a handsome man, so she said a few good words.
If it were someone else who was ugly, they would definitely not receive such treatment. However, her mother did not feel this way.
It wasnt easy for me to get a day off. I thought ofing over to clean up, but
1 havent finished yet. The middle-aged womanined.
I have to talk to the administrator about this. Such a solemn ce is no different from a graveyard after what he did.
Theres no need to be so overboard, right? Im still off tomorrow. Ill help clean up for my brother. Dont pursue such a small matter.
How can that be? I am his aunt and havent been here for over a year and want to look at him a bit more, the middle-aged woman said, wiping her tears. Alright, I wont interfere then.
Then, they walked away, heading to find the administrator.
Lin Yi, standing in front of the tombstone, was unaware of the conversation between the mother and daughter, continuing to speak to himself.
Your drinking capacity is impressive. You finished a whole bottle and didnt even get drunk. Thats what I expect from a member of Team 1.
He opened another bottle and ced it in front of Zhou Liangs tombstone. No more dilly-dallying, lets continue drinking.
During this time, not only the mother and daughter but others passing by also noticed Lin Yis peculiar behavior.
Instinctively, they avoided him, assuming that the man might not be mentally stable.
Lin Yi lit another cigarette and then lit one for Zhou Liangs tombstone as well. It seems your family is having some issues. Ill help you sort it out first. But dont worry, I will definitely avenge you.
Daring to mess with someone from our team, this wont end here! Damn it
Excuse me, sir
As Lin Yi was muttering to the tombstone, he felt someone tap on his shoulder.
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man in a uniform.
He had a name tag on his chest, indicating he was a staff member of the cemetery.
Interestingly, behind the staff member were several ordinary people holding items, seemingly also here to pay their respects to rtives.
Whats wrong? Lin Yi asked.
The middle-aged man looked troubled and asked tentatively, Young man, are you alright?
Im fine. I came to talk to my brother. Whats wrong?
The middle-aged man shivered and looked uneasy. Brother, how am I supposed to respond to that answer?!
Chapter 1860: They Exchanged Their Lives for It
Chapter 1860: They Exchanged Their Lives for It
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Young man, I quite understand how you feel. The middle-aged man said earnestly.
But you have to pay attention to how you act, dont you think?
Youre right, Lin Yi said, But am I doing anything wrong? Im not affecting anyone, right?
The middle-aged man was at a loss for words. Although you didnt affect others, you scared them!
How about this? Can youe again at another time, or when there are fewer people?
Lin Yi frowned slightly. Why?
Well
Maybe youve not seen someone pay their respects in this way before, Lin Yi said, But dont worry, Im a normal person. Im not sick.
Look at what youre saying. Even a mentally ill person says that hes not sick.
This is my ID. This proves it, right?
Seeing the military ID Lin Yi handed over, the middle-aged man was stunned because he was a retired soldier.
The middle-aged man became even more respectful when he opened the military ID!
From the looks of it, this man was only in his twenties, but he had actually be a lieutenant colonel!
This had never happened in the history of Huaxia!
How much merit did he have to make to have this honor!
Greetings, Sir!
The middle-aged man gave Lin Yi a standard military salute.
You dont have to do this. Go ahead and do your thing. Leave me alone for a while.
Alright, alright, alright. Go ahead. Call me if you need anything.
Okay.
The administrator turned around and left. Then, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and walked out.
At this moment, the mother and daughter who had reported Lin Yi stopped him.
Brother, why hasnt he left yet? Hes just been talking to himself. Its scary. The middle-aged woman patted her chest and said.
I dont have the right to chase a person like that away, but dont worry. Everyone has their own way of paying their respects. Hes fine.
No right? Youre the administrator here. Why are you not qualified?
Hes a lieutenant colonel. I was a second-stage sergeant before I retired from the army. Hes my boss. I dont have the right to talk to him.
No way, such a young lieutenant colonel?
The middle-aged woman obviously did not know what this military rank meant, but her daughter understood very well.
I looked at his ID. Hes genuinely a lieutenant colonel. The administrator sighed and said,
Its really extraordinary to be able to reach that rank in his twenties. In other words, our people are able to have such a good life today because those men traded their lives for it. So just bear with it. This is not easy for them either.
The administrators words moved everyone present.
Just as he had said, these people had traded their lives for the good days of today.
This time, everyone looked at Lin Yi with respect.
Although the way he expressed his condolences was a little scary, he was still a good person!
On the other side, in front of Zhou Liangs tombstone, Lin Yi finished the white wine in one gulp. At the same time, the wine in the other bottle was deeply soaked into the soil, as if it had really been transmitted to that distant ce.
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yis phone rang. It was a call from Ning Che.
Where are you?
The cemetery. I came to visit.
Wrap it up ande back. 1 bought you a new set of clothes to try on. Later, were going out to eat. 1 heard its the top-ranked hot pot in the area, and the taste is supposed to be amazing.
Alright, Ill head back now.
Lin Yi wasnt particrly interested in trying on clothes or eating. The main reason was that the alcohol was finished, and he had said what he needed to say. It was time to return.
He ced the remaining half pack of cigarettes on Zhou Liangs tombstone.
Before leaving, he took a deep, lingering look at it, then turned and walked away.
In the hotel, the two had bought quite a few things, a total of over a dozen items of various sizes.
You know, the styles of clothes here are different. Many of these arent even avable in Yanjing. This trip was definitely worth it.
Can you be more attentive? Qiu Yuluo said, Were here for business.
You still have the cheek to criticize me? Ning Che said.
Who bought more than ten thousand yuan worth of cosmetics? Are you here to do something serious?
The cosmetics I bought were expensive, unlike you, who bought so many bags.
Whats the difference? Youre the one who goes crazy when seeing makeup, right?
Alright, alright. Lets not talk about this anymore.
Qiu Yuluo stopped the topic. Its already past three in the afternoon. When is
Lin Yiing back? Im starving.
Ning Che looked at his watch. He was at the cemetery when I called him. Its been more than half an hour. He should be back soon. Lets wait a little longer. Then Ill try on the makeup.
Let me try your lipstick. I think the color is especially nice.
Qiu Yuluo shielded her cosmetics behind her back. If the color is nice, why didnt you buy it yourself?
Since youve already bought it, wouldnt it be a waste for me to buy it again?
Ill just use yours.
F*ck! Qiu Yuluo said.
Im going to take a shower. If you want to try it, use it yourself.
Hurry up and wash up. Ill go after youre done. I have to change into my new dress.
You should change into your underwear. 1 think youll be wearing it tonight.
Dont be so direct. How embarrassing. Haha dang dang dang
Just as the two of them were teasing each other, they heard a knock on the door.
Quite fast, arent you? Youre back so quickly.
Ning Che didnt think too much and went to open the door.
However, when he opened the door, he realized that it wasnt Lin Yi at all.
What are you doing here?!
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che both recognized the person standing outside the door!
Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi!
Seeing that it was the two of them who came in, Qiu Yuluo abandoned her ns for the shower and stood with Ning Che.
They wanted to know why the two of them were here.
However, they were certain that it was not for anything good.
Because neither she nor Ning Che had any interactions with them.
The two of them walked in as Zhu Junchi looked at them and said,
I was going to ask you, why are you here instead of in Yanjing?
Does this have anything to do with you? Arent you interfering with our lives a bit too much?
Ning Che said indifferently, not taking the two of them seriously at all.
Oh my, its different now that youre the team leader. You even dare to talk to us in such a tone? Zhu Junchi said yfully.
You can think of it that way. Ning Che leaned against the wall and said indifferently.
I am the team leader, and you are the team members. No matter how you look at it, Im a rank higher than you two. So, ordering you around is reasonable and justified, isnt it?
Heh Dont you think youre getting a bit too arrogant? Zhu Junchi sneered.
I could understand it before, when you had Lin Yi backing you up. Most people wouldnt mess with you. But Lin Yi is dead now, and you still act so high and mighty.. I have to ask, do you really think youre that important?
Chapter 1861: Falling Out
Chapter 1861: Falling Out
Editor. EndlessFantasy Trantion
The two of them nced at Zhu Junchi.
They felt like this person was a bitical, like an unkible cockroach.
He had just been beaten up by Lin Yi a few days ago. How long had it been since then? Now, he had just appeared here so arrogantly.
Dont you have any shame at all?
Im very puzzled. Whats the purpose of the two of youing here? Ning Che crossed her arms in front of her chest and pointed at the door. If you have no business here, please get out. Can you not pollute the air here?
Zhu Junchis eyes narrowed. At a time like this, youre still pretending to be ignorant?
Ning Che and Qiu Yuluos expressions changed slightly.
When the two of them came in, they had already guessed the reason.
Now that they heard Zhu Junchis words, the two of them were certain that they knew about the Zhou family.
Otherwise, he wouldnt have done such a boring thing.
On the other hand, they were actually able to find this ce so soon. Their reconnaissance ability was definitely top-notch. As expected of someone from Team 4 of the Central Guards Brigade.
Cant you be more direct? Its quite boring to make insinuations like this.
Pak!
Zhu Junchi pulled over a chair and lit a cigarette. He looked at Ning Che with a scrutinizing gaze.
1 want to know why you went to the Zhou family. Can you give me an exnation?
Zhu Junchi did not hide his purpose.
Although Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were the team leaders of the Central Guards
Brigade and he was only an ordinary member, he did not take them seriously at all.
In other words, other than the Yanlong Team, no one in Team 4 took the other three teams seriously.
This was because with his level, he was already qualified to be the team leader.
Therefore, in Zhu Junchis eyes, the two of them were just juniors. Moreover, they were women. If this had not happened, he would not have even bothered ever looking for them.
Exin? Ning Che said.
Something happened to Zhou Liang. As the leaders of the Central Guards
Brigade, its only natural for us toe over to express our condolences.
Its fine if you just came over to offer condolences, but you seem to have done something you shouldnt have.
Zhu Junchi flicked his cigarette ash indifferently and swept his gaze across the two of them.
At this point, 1 think its better for us to be more sincere. You were the ones who stopped our project with the Hercules Group, right?
Qiu Yuluo and Ningche had already guessed that Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi hade because of this matter.
However, their keep insight was surprising. Indeed, none of the people from
Team 4 were noobs.
You cant pin this on us. Our two families arent that capable. Youve found the wrong person.
Zhu Junchi scratched his ear impatiently.
Dont you two realize youre just lying to yourselves? That wede here if there wasnt a good enough reason?
Ning Che shrugged nonchntly.
It doesnt matter what the two of you think. Anyway, this has nothing to do with us. Also, were preparing to shower and put on makeup. If theres nothing else, you can leave first.
Im afraid it wont be that easy to get us to leave before we achieve our goal.
Ning Che casually lit a cigarette and looked at the two of them.
The two of you know Team 4s situation better than me. If you have the time, you should worry more about your own matters. Dont think about other useless things.
Zhu Junchi narrowed his eyes, holding back his anger.
He felt as if a heavy punch hadnded on cotton, but the other party did not
feel anything.
But at this moment, Wei Yulong spoke up.
The two of you better understand the situation. We didnte here today to discuss this. 111 give you one day to restore the projects. Otherwise, youll have to bear the consequences.
The two womens expressions turned cold at the same time, and they turned to look at Wei Yulong, who had been silent the entire time.
Compared to Zhu Junchi, this quiet man? was more difficult to deal with. What do you mean? Are you going to fight the two of us? Ning Che said. Although we are in different teams, we are still colleagues. I wouldnt resort to violence unless absolutely necessary, Wei Yulong said.
But you sabotaged the projects of threepanies behind the scenes. If you dont give us an exnation, I will definitely have a word with you. Then 1 must apologize, but theres nothing to discuss between us.
Wei Yulong squinted his eyes and said with his head slightly lowered.
Dont refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. This is yourst chance!
Say whatever you want. I have no interest in dealing with you.
As Ning Che finished speaking, she saw a shadow sh before her eyes.
When she realized what had happened, Wei Yulong had already rushed up to her!
There was no way to retreat. In a hurry, Ning Che assumed a defensive posture. Her arms were crossed in front of his chest, but she was still a step toote!
Wei Yulongs solid kicknded on Ning Ches body.
Originally, there was already a disparity in strength between them. Coupled with the fact that Wei Yulong had the upper hand, this kick caused Ning Che to take a few steps back.
She only stopped when she hit the bed behind her!
Bang!
At this moment, Qiu Yuluo charged forward. Stepping on the end of the bed, she kicked at Wei Yulong.
The two of them had known each other for many years and had formed a deep tacit understanding.
Now that something had happened to Ning Che, Qiu Yuluo immediately responded!
Wei Yulongs reactions were extremely fast. He had already taken a defensive stance when Qiu Yuluo charged over.
He took a step back and reached out to grab her foot, blocking Qiu Yuluos attack.
Seeing that the situation wasnt looking good, Qiu Yuluo clenched her waist and abdomen, forcibly breaking free from Wei Yulongs control andnding on the ground.
At this moment, Ning Che finally realized what was going on and charged towards Wei Yulong.
She knew very well that no one would be a match for Wei Yulong in a one-on-one fight!
Only when the two of them worked together would they have a chance!
But just as Ning Che was about to seed, Zhu Junchi, who had not moved thus far, made his move!
Stepping on the ground, he rushed in front of Ning Che and kicked her in the abdomen!
Ning Che could not react in time and was ambushed by Zhu Junchi. Her body flew away and rolled to the window.
From this, it was clear that Zhu Junchi had used his full strength.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were slightly weaker than Wei Yulong, but they were on par with Zhu Junchi.
If it werent for his sneak attack, they wouldnt have been in such a sorry state.
Ning Che!
Qiu Yuluo eximed, abandoning her n to attack again and rushing to Ning Che to check her injuries.
Im fine.
The fight between the four paused temporarily. Ning Che wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and faced the two men.
Wei Yulong looked at them grimly. Do you still want to continue?
It seems youve given up entirely and no longer wish to stay in the Central Guard Brigade.
Chapter 1862: Arriving in Time
Chapter 1862: Arriving in Time
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Although the Central Guards Brigade encouraged sparring, a battle of this level was not allowed.
What Ning Che was talking about was precisely their current situation.
This was because the Central Guards Brigade had already started processing their retirement n. It was just that the official approval had yet to be issued.
Therefore, strictly speaking, they were no longer considered members of the Central Guards Brigade!
So what if it is? So what if it isnt? Wei Yulong said expressionlessly.
As I said just now, if you dont stop your actions, dont me us for being impolite.
Hehe Ning Che sneered and said disdainfully.
We all know what your families are thinking. Dont you just want to use this opportunity to annex the Zhou family and Lingyun Groups assets? Im afraid your wishful thinking wont work anymore.
I know that the purpose of you doing this is not to protect the Zhou family, but to protect Lingyun Group, Wei Yulong said.
But Lin Yi is dead, and he has no sessor. In the end, thispany will fall apart. What youre doing is useless. Why do you have to do this? No matter what, we were oncerades. Theres no need to hurt our harmony.
Although Wei Yulongs level was high, his IQwas poor. He looked like he wasnt very smart.
What he said clearly exposed his n.
This was almost exactly the same as what the three of them had deduced.
However, exposing these findings now was clearly not appropriate.
He was a person with courage but no wisdom.
A smile appeared at the corner of Ning Ches mouth. Lin Yis father wasnt just boasting after all.
The n to fake his death had indeed revealed many people with ulterior motives.
To be the legendary S-ss, he indeed needed some real skills.
I dont want to discuss anything else with you, but as I said before, I will not
let you touch Lingyun Group.
Still being stubborn at this point? Arent you afraid 111 beat you to death? Zhu
Junchi taunted.
If Tao Cheng were here, it might be a bit more challenging, but since hes not,
you two stand no chance.
Tao Cheng?
The two women exchanged nces, understanding his implication after a few seconds.
They realized that their information must havee from Zhou Yuan.
And for Zhou Yuan to have such information, he must have ced spies within the Zhou family!
They had mistaken Lin Yi, who apanied them, for Tao Cheng!
That exined everything.
We wont give up even if theres no chance. Ning Ches lips curled into an elusive smile. It could even be said to be a wicked smile.
In a two-on-two situation, he and Qiu Yukio were definitely not their match. All he had to do now was stall for time. When Lin Yi returned, everything would be fine.
You wh*re, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!
Wei Yulong, the typical brute, didnt give Ning Che a chance to waste time or dy. He charged at her again!
Zhu Junchi didnt remain idle either, joining Wei Yulong in the attack.
Although his skills were superior to both of them, if they teamed up against him, he would be at a disadvantage.
He needed to step in and help, not giving them any opportunities!
Qiu Yuluo faced off against Wei Yulong, while Zhu Junchi confronted Ning Che! Thetter two were evenly matched, fighting fiercely with no clear advantage for either side.
However, things werent looking good for Qiu Yuluo!
After exchanging a dozen moves, she was clearly at a disadvantage, forced into a defensive position!
Even the corners of her mouth were bleeding!
Leave her to me. 111 take care of Ning Che!
Wei Yulong shouted, signaling to Zhu Junchi to switch opponents.
This pushed both Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo into a corner, with the situation bing increasingly dire for them.
Whoosh!
Wei Yulong kicked Ning Che to the wall. Without giving her any chance to react, he reached out and grabbed her neck, firmly restraining her!
Do you still want to fight? Do you want her to die?
Wei Yulongs face was expressionless, and his tone was cold.
Qiu Yuluo was distracted. Zhu Junchi seized the opportunity and kicked her away, smashing the coffee table and table.
Let her go!
Qiu Yuluo widened her eyes and said!
Let her go?
Wei Yulong sneered coldly, Werent you all just being stubborn? Have you finally thought things through?
Bah!
Ning Che spat at Wei Yulong. Your good days areing to an end. You want us to back down? Impossible!
Wei Yulongs eyes narrowed with killing intent.
He didnt have Lin Yis skills. He only dared to attack the two of them but didnt dare to kill them.
It was to the extent that the anger in his heart was like a volcano erupting, uncontroble.
F*ck, do you really think I dont dare to kill you?!
Wei Yulong tightened his grip around Ning Ches neck and forcibly lifted her
up.
Cough, cough, cough
Ning Ches face was pale and she looked disheveled, but she still did not back down!
F*ck!
Qiu Yuluo cursed as she used all her strength to charge towards Wei Yulong! However, Zhu Junchi did not let her seed. He followed closely behind and kicked her to the side.
Qiu Yuluo clutched her chest tightly. She could not stand up no matter how hard she tried. She hadpletely lost her ability to fight.
On the other hand, Ning Ches situation was even more dire.
There was no color on his face, and she could die at any moment!
Wei Yulong red at her. Are you still not going to give in?! No, its impossible You you wont live much longer Ning Che said haltingly.
Wont live much longer? Wei Yulong sneered.
I havent done anything to you. It was just a normal sparring match. Yourck of skill led to this, and the Central Guard Brigade wont me us.
Exactly, Zhu Junchi said, lighting a cigarette in agreement.
Even though your families are slightly stronger than ours, its still very limited. Economic sanctions against us are impossible. Id like to know what basis you have for saying that. Are you referring to Tao Cheng? Tao Cheng, that useless guy, I know him. Hes not even as good as the two of you, Wei Yulong said disdainfully.
If the three of you fought together, it might take some effort to handle, but you two are already in this state. Even if hees back, what could he do to me? I can handle a guy like him with one hand!
Hu Tong!
Just as Wei Yulong was speaking, the door to the room was kicked open!
This sudden turn of events surprised Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi, and they both turned around to look!
To their surprise, they saw a man wearing a mask and sunsses standing outside!
Zhu Junchis expression changed when he saw Lin Yi!
Even though the other party had changed his clothes, he could still recognize at a nce that the person standing outside the door was the person who had defeated him and Wei Xue at Union Medical Hospital!
Its you!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Do you know this person?
As he spoke, Wei Yulong loosened his grip, giving Ning Che a chance to catch her breath.
He saw that Zhu Junchis expression was not very good.
This also made him suspicious. After all, he was someone who had faced many scenarios. Under normal circumstances, he would not reveal such an expression.
Hes very good. Im no match for him.
Upon hearing these words, Wei Yulongs expression immediately turned serious.
He knew Zhu Junchis standard. If even he said such a thing, then the person in front of him had to be taken seriously.
So the one who followed them here wasnt that trash, but you, Wei Yulong said in a low voice.
Lin Yi didnt say anything. He walked up to Ning Che and helped her up.
How are you?
I wont die for the time being. Ning Che was covered in cold sweat. She kept panting and said intermittently,
This person is Wei Yulong, also from Team 4-
I guessed as much. Lin Yi said expressionlessly.
In Chengdu, the only person who could hang out with Zhu Junchi and possess such strength was Wei Yulong.
However, he did not expect the two of them to find this ce so quickly.
It seemed that the people who had left Team 4 were quite capable.
At this moment, Qiu Yuluo walked over. You handle those two. Ill look after
Ning Che.
Lin Yi nodded and faced Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi.
As expected of someone from Team 4- Youre quite fast. Lin Yi lowered his voice and pointed at Zhu Junchi. Didnt this trash tell you not to provoke my people?
Lin Yis terror had left a deep impression on Zhu Junchi.
It was not because of his high level, but because he dared to attack the patriarchs of the five families!
In the entire Huaxia, not many people had the guts to do so!
Instinctively, Zhu Junchi took a step back. Before the fight even started, he was already terrified.
However, Wei Yulong did not notice this.
Although the man in front of him was strong, he believed that with his own skills, dealing with him wouldnt be a problem.
Where did youe from? This is our internal matter. If you dont want your legs broken, get out of here!
Lin Yi nced down. Then you can forget about these legs of yours! Seeing that Lin Yi had no intention of backing down, Wei Yulong didnt waste any more words. He clenched his fists and charged at him!
At the same time, Lin Yi also made his move!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
in just a few seconds, the two exchanged over a dozen blows!
During this process, Lin Yi realized that Wei Yulongs foundation was very solid, far superior to Zhu Junchi.
But the one who was more surprised was Wei Yulong!
He had thought that with his skills, he could force Lin Yi back within a dozen moves.
But to his surprise, Lin Yi handled the situation with ease!
No wonder you could defeat Zhu Junchi. Your skills are not bad. Time to get serious.
With these words, Wei Yulong leaped and kicked towards Lin Yi!
At that precise moment, Lin Yi counterattacked!
His brows furrowed, and with a furious expression, he looked like a beast ready to devour its prey!
BANG!
With a muffled sound, their shins collided with each other!
How is this possible?!
The instant they shed, Wei Yulongs eyes widened!
He had thought that with his skill level, he could break his opponents bones in one move. He did not expect the kick that hit his leg to feel like he was kicking a steel te!
Ah!
In the next second, Wei Yulong let out a blood-curdling scream as he clutched his shin and fell to the ground in pain!
Brother Wei!
Zhu Junchi was scared silly. Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have thought that someone as strong as Wei Yulong would lose to this masked man in such a way!
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Zhu Junchi rushed towards Wei Yulong!
This man was ridiculously strong. He was not someone he could deal with at all!
There was no other choice but to escape!
Whoosh!
Just as Zhu Junchi was about to help Wei Yulong up, Lin Yi stepped forward and kicked his chin!
Another scream was heard!
The force was so great that Zhu Junchis teeth were all shattered, and blood oozed out. He looked even more miserable than Wei Yulong!
Upon seeing Zhu Junchis miserable state, Wei Yulong felt as if the pain in his leg had lessened significantly.
It was also at this moment that Wei Yulong truly understood how ruthless this masked man was!
You, donte over!
Wei Yulong dragged his crippled leg and crawled towards the door.
To him, the man in front of him represented terror. He had to think of a way to escape from here!
You want to leave after hitting my men?
Lin Yis face was cold as he didnt give Wei Yulong any chance!
He raised his right foot high and stepped on his other leg!
AHHHHH!
Apanied by the sound of bones cracking, Wei Yulong let out a blood-curdling scream!
It was so painful that he almost fainted!
At this moment, both his legs had been crippled by Lin Yi.
He could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
On the other side, Zhu Junchi was dumbfounded. The fear in his eyes was no less than Wei Yulongs.
His level was not as good as Wei Yulongs, so this man would not hold back!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Without another word, Zhu Junchi knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
At this point, he could no longer care about his pride.
He didnt want to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Youre from the Central Guards Brigade after all. Dont you even have a bit of backbone? Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Fortunately, you werent captured. Otherwise, you would have sold out the entire Central Guards Brigade.
Crack!
Crack!
Lin Yi broke Zhu Junchis legs with two consecutive kicks. Thetters eyes rolled back and he instantly fainted!
What do we do now?
After the two of them were dealt with, Qiu Yuluo helped Ning Che over.
-Lets go to my room first. As for the two of them, they can stay here and self-destruct.
Okay.
Walking in front of Ning Che, Lin Yi picked her up by the waist and walked to his room.
At the same time, there were many people gathered outside the room. They were all attracted by the sound of the fight just now.
in addition to the people on the same floor, there were also hotel staff. Initially, they thought that it was just an ordinary fight and wanted to watch the show. They did not expect it to be so gory.
Just now, when the situation was out of control, the hotel had already called the police. They wanted professionals to deal with this matter.
Sir, this
The hotel manager was also scared out of his wits. Who wouldnt be afraid of a man who went around breaking others legs? However, it was his job to maintain order in the hotel, so he mustered his courage and asked.
Go back and calcte the losses. Illpensate you at the original price. Seeing that Lin Yi was easy to talk to, the hotel manager heaved a sigh of relief and probed,
Then the two people in the room
Dont bother about anyone else, or youll bear the consequences..
Chapter 1864: A Trembling Fear
Chapter 1864: A Trembling Fear
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yis words made everyone shiver and subconsciously make way for him.
This ruthless man was not someone amoner like them could provoke. It was better to do as he said.
Lin Yi carried Ning Che back to his room.
Wait, wait, wait. Dont put me down yet. Hug me for a while more. Its been a long time since you hugged me like this.
Can you be more serious at a time like this?
Qiu Yuluoined as Lin Yi ced her on the bed.
F*ck, be gentle. It hurts.
Dont move yet. 111 help you check the wounds.
Lin Yi reached out and touched Ning Ches body, mainly to check if there was any damage to her bones.
As long as her bones were fine, the rest would be superficial wounds. She would be fine after resting for a few days.
After a few minutes, Lin Yi said, Its not a big deal, just superficial wounds.
Fortunately, you arrived in time. Otherwise, Wei Yulong could have really strangled me.
I told you Id be back soon. Couldnt you have stalled a bit longer?
Do you think I didnt want to? Ning Che rolled her eyes.
That big idiot Wei Yulong didnt give me a chance to stall. He started fighting right away. What could I do?
But his skills arent bad. With Zhu Junchi added to the mix, you two didnt stand a chance.
Now isnt the time to discuss this, the more rational Qiu Yuluo interjected.
Youve crippled both Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi. This will definitely cause an uproar in Rongcheng.
I know. I cant wait for them toe looking for me.
Lin Yis purpose foring here, besides investigating the Zhou familys matters, was to find ways to weaken the Central Guard Brigades Group Four. ording to preliminary calctions, apart from the captured Chen Guanjie, Team 4 still had 23 members left.
Following Lu Beichens n, none of these members would be spared. All of them would be demoted and sent back. This meant Lin Yi would face the wrath of these 23 families.
Facing these families alone would be incredibly challenging.
If he could secretly eliminate a few beforehand, it would significantly reduce the resistance against Lu Beichen.
The Wei family and the Zhu family were good targets now.
The Wei family and Zhu Juns people are not to be trifled with. Dont let your guard down, Qiu Yuluo said.
As far as I know, Wei Yulongs father, Wei Shipu, and Zhu Junchis father, Zhu Jinbo, retired from the Central Guards Brigade. Moreover, they have both reached C-ss. You arent their match. You cant mess around with this matter.
I know.
Although he had defeated the C-ss Sun Manlou previously, that was because thetter had just entered the C-ss and his foundation was not solid.
But even so, he still fought him tooth and nail, only barely defeating him.
If it were anyone else who had stayed in the Central Guards Brigade, he did not know if he could defeat them.
However, since he had brought Song Jinmin with him, he did not need to care about these monsters.
By the way, theres something else 1 need to tell you, Qiu Yuluo said.
All our previous suspicions have been confirmed. Zhou Yuan nted his own spies in the Zhou family. This is also the reason why we were exposed.
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully. You guys handle the Zhou family. Ill handle the Wei and Zhu families.
Have you thought of a solution? Qiu Yuluo asked.
You crippled both of them. The two families will get the news soon. It wont be long before they arrive.
I know that. You dont have to worry. 1 know what Im doing Dang, dang, dang
Just as the three of them were talking, there was a knock on the door, and the knock was very loud.
They did note with good intentions and were very impolite.
They cant be here so soon, could they? Ning Che said.
Ill go take a look.
Lin Yi turned around to open the door and saw more than ten police officers standing outside.
As soon as he opened the door, they took out their guns and aimed it at Lin Yi!
Dont move!
When the hotel called the police, they had already exined the situation. Without a word, Lin Yi had broken their legs. A man like this was definitely a dangerous person and had to be treated seriously!
However, when they saw that it was the police, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Ches expressions became less nervous.
It was just a small issue.
What are you doing? Theres no need to make such a big scene, right? Lin Yi smiled.
Dont be cheeky with us. Put your hands up!
Lin Yi smiled and obediently raised his hand.
Someone, handcuff him!
The middle-aged police officer in the lead called out. At the same time, two police officers walked in front of Lin Yi with handcuffs and prepared to cuff him.
Put your guns down. Were on the same side.
After greeting them, Qiu Yuluo showed her ID and threw it at the leading police officer.
In a hurry, the leading police officer caught Qiu Yuluos ID.
He was surprised to find that it bore a red military officers certificate!
C-Colonel
After knowing Qiu Yuluos identity, the others were dumbfounded.
What kind of godly identity was this?
Put the guns down!
After the order was given, the atmosphere in the room became less tense.
Sir, are you on a mission? the middle-aged policeman asked.
Mm. Qiu Yuluo nodded. Theyre both myrades and carry the same rank as me. Dont get involved in this matter. Well handle it ourselves.
Your military ranks are the same
This time, everyone looked at Lin Yi withpletely different expressions.
Or rather, their expressions became unnatural.
To be able to reach such heights at such a young age, what were their true identities?
Just routine, Sir. Can we check the credentials of the other two?
Of course.
Qiu Yuluo took out Ning Ches ID, and Lin Yi handed his over as well.
After checking and confirming that there were no problems, the ten officers saluted in unison.
Im really sorry. This matter has caused a misunderstanding. Well leave now.
Its okay. You didnt do it on purpose.
What about the two people in the next room? the middle-aged policeman probed.
Theyre seriously injured. If we dont treat them now, they might end up disabled.
Its fine. Dont worry about it. Were on a mission. Just leave.
The dozen or so people felt a chill run down their spines. They had forcefully broken the other partys leg, yet they actually said to leave them be.
This was not something an ordinary person could do!
Then well be on our way. Call us in time if you need us. The local authorities will cooperate fully.
Wait
Just as they were about to leave, Lin Yi stopped them. 1 need your help with something.
Alright, go ahead.
Go talk to the hotel and see if we can transfer the guests on this floor to another floor. Its best to empty this floor..
Chapter 1865: Lin Yi’s Plan
Chapter 1865: Lin Yis n
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The middle-aged policemans expression tightened. The others behind him did the same.
What kind of mission was it that required this floor to be empty?
In the end, they got a vague answer. It was probably a big case. Otherwise, they wouldnt have sent out a person like this.
Alright, alright, alright. Dont worry. Leave this to us. There will definitely be no problem.
Due to this situation, the middle-aged police officer did not hesitate and patted his chest in agreement.
This was definitely a dangerous mission. Not to mention vacating a floor, even vacating this building would not be a problem.
Thank you for your hard work.
Not at all. Its my job, said the middle-aged policeman.
But are we sure its enough to evacuate this floor? Do we need to empty this building?
Lin Yi didnt know whether tough or cry. He had misunderstood these people.
Theres no need to go through so much trouble. Just empty this floor.
Alright, alright, alright. We understand. We will definitely cooperate, the middle-aged policeman said politely.
But I still want to ask one more thing. Do we really not need to deal with the two people outside who have their legs broken?
Even if something happens, it will have nothing to do with you. Dont worry. We took a preliminary look and saw that their legs were broken. If we dont send them to the hospital quickly, Im afraid something will happen.
Even though he had already deemed the two people outside as dangerous individuals, they still had their rights.
Before proceeding with further actions, they needed to be taken for examination and treatment.
No need, just let them stay outside and dont bother with them, Lin Yi said.
You just need to help clear everyone out from this floor.
Alright, leave it to me.
With that, the police officer took his team and prepared to leave.
Meanwhile, the crowd outside the room had not dispersed yet and continued to gossip and specte.
Besides the onlookers, Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi, who were crippled, were ced on stretchers by the hotel staff.
They were ready to be sent to the hospital.
Did the people inside surrender? Why is there no noise?
So many people came down at once, and there were only three people on the other side, two of whom were women. They wouldnt have had a chance to resist, so there wouldnt be any noise.
Thats true. With armed personnel, anyone would surrender immediately upon seeing such a scene.
By now, Zhu Junchi had regained consciousness, and the pain in his legs had left him numb.
Brother Wei, can the police handle them? Zhu Junchi asked slowly.
No, Wei Yulong replied.
They are all lieutenant colonels. The police cant do anything to them. But thats not important to us. As long as we get to the hospital, everything will be fine.
Zhu Junchi had nothing more to say. Although he had already called his family, the immediate task was to get to the hospital. He couldnt afford to stay here any longer.
Otherwise, his legs would really be done for.
Crack!
While everyone was discussing, the door of the room was opened, causing the onlookers to hold their breaths and tune in. They subconsciously made way to avoid dying the official matters.
However, when the police came out, everyone was stunned.
They saw the head officer bowing and scraping to the man who had just attacked the victims. He was even acting very polite.
What was going on?
Why did it seem like a movie?
Facing such a scene, Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi were both very calm.
To them, this was very normal. It was impossible to deal with Qiu Yuluo and the others through normal means.
They had to hand this over to their families. As long as these police sent them to the hospital, it would be enough.
Where is the person in charge of the hotel?
The middle-aged policeman didnt care about other peoples gazes and said seriously.
Officer, Im the manager of the hotel. If theres anything you need, just tell me.
Try to think of a way to change rooms for the guests on this floor and vacate this floor.
Alright, well try our best to arrange it.
If Lin Yi said this, the hotel would definitely not cooperate. After all, they would also incur a loss.
But since the police had spoken, the effect was different.
He was an official, so tjeu had to cooperate.
Soon, under the guidance of the police, the people on the same floor left.
Alright, lets go!
Zhu Junchi,???
Seeing that the police were about to leave, Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi were dumbfounded.
Officer, officer Wei Yulong said, Were still here, take us to the hospital Take you to the hospital?
The middle-aged police officer looked at the two of them and snorted. You can stay here and fend for yourselves. Withdraw!
Watching the dozen police officers leave, Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchis expressions froze instantly.
He did not understand what Qiu Yuluo had said to them. The officers did not even care about them!
Could it be that he had to endure the pain here?
In the room, Qiu Yuluo looked through the peephole at the door.
The people outside have all left, but Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi have been left behind. No one bothered about them.
Thats for sure, the police wont ask for trouble it, Lin Yi said.
You left them here and didnt let the police handle them, so youre waiting for their families toe, right?
You could say that, Lin Yi said, ncing at his watch.
These people are really slow. If they take any longer, these two might just die.
Isnt that fine? They can juste and collect the bodies.
Ning Che said as she came out of the bathroom after touching up her appearance. The most noticeable bruise was on her right cheek, while other injuries were hidden by her clothes.
Lin Yi looked at the two women. Are you both okay to go out?
Yeah we can go out, Ning Che replied.
Do you have something in mind?
Its alreadyte, and I havent had lunch yet, Lin Yi said.
Didnt you two mention a particrly good hot pot ce? Lets go try it.
Qiu Yuluo pointed outside. Didnt you say you were going to deal with their families? If we leave, how will you handle it?
I n to deal with them, but I didnt say Id do it personally, Lin Yi said with a sly smile.
Lets fill our stomachs first. By the time we get back, things should be mostly taken care of.
The two women exchanged nces, unsure what Lin Yi had nned. But from the look of it, he was going to thoroughly deal with the Wei and Zhu families. If youve got it all nned, then we have nothing to worry about. We just need masks and sunsses.
Lets go.
With that decided, the three of them headed out.
Seeing Lin Yi and the otherse out, Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi were trembling with fear.
What are you going to do? They stammered.
Look at how scared you are. Were just going out for a meal.. Is that so terrifying?
Chapter 1866: Song Jinmin Makes His Move
Chapter 1866: Song Jinmin Makes His Move
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Their suspenseful hearts suddenly sank.
Although both men wanted to retaliate, they knew that if they said anything harsh, their situation would be even worse.
At this moment, as long as he didnty a hand on them, that was the best oue.
As soon as their families arrived, dealing with him would be easy.
Lets go. No need to bother with them, Qiu Yuluo said.
Ihey re already in this state, so I cant be bothered with them either, Lin Yi said.
But hold on, I have a few questions for them.
Saying this, Lin Yi walked over and looked down at the two men. Unconsciously, they both swallowed hard.
Even though he hadnt done anything, standing there, he exuded an oppressive aura like a mountain.
The fear Lin Yi had instilled in them had be an indelible shadow.
Even just standing there doing nothing made their hearts pound with fear, their blood running cold from their heels to the tops of their heads.
Lin Yi fiddled with his phone, turning on the recording function, and said calmly to the two men,
Things have gotten to this point, so its about time it ended. Tell me, whats going on? Did Zhou Yuan use the Zhou familys funds in your dealings? Hearing this question, both men breathed a sigh of relief.
To them, this was hardly a problem. There was nothing they couldnt say about it.
At this point, Zhou Yuan was just an outsider to them. Selling him out didnt matter at all.
As long as it didnt affect their own family businesses, they were fine with it. Zhou Yuan was indeed nning that. Zhu Junchi endured the pain and said. Hes prepared to use these projects and take advantage of Zhou Liangs death to transfer all the Zhou familys assets to his side. This was his n.
Lin Yi smiled. Since youre cooperating, thats all for today.
With that, the three of them swaggered away and ignored the two of them.
As they watched the three of them leave, their hearts were filled with hatred! Damn it, when our familyes, it will be time for you to die!
At this moment, Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi no longer cared.
They were very aware of current situation. Even if they were sent to the hospital now, it was impossible for their legs topletely recover. They would definitely be crippled for life!
Thus, they had to take revenge!
Ten minutester, the elevator doors opened, and more than ten people walked out of the two elevators.
Most of them were men and were old, in their thirties or forties.
After exiting the elevator, they looked around and saw Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi lying in the corridor.
Son!
The person who spoke was Zhu Jinbo. He wasnt tall. He wore a pair of suit pants and a white shirt. He also had a slightly bulging belly.
His appearance was clearly that of a middle-aged businessman.
No one would have thought that he was a true C-ss expert.
His individual strength was already considered top-notch in Huaxia.
Seeing the miserable state of the two, Zhu Jinbo eximed and hurriedly ran towards Zhu Junchi.
Dad
Who was it that beat you guys up like this?! Zhu Jinbo said through gritted teeth.
The other party was wearing a mask and sunsses. We dont know who it was. Zhu Junchi said.
They went out to eat. Theyll be back soon. As long as we wait here, we can catch them!
Damn it, I dont care who he is. Im going to kill him!
Old Zhu, now is not the time to talk about this. Get someone to send the two children to the hospital. Well stay and deal with this matter.
The person who spoke was very tall, measuring than 1.9 meters tall. There was not much hair left on his head.
His name was Wei Shipu, and he was Wei Yulongs father.
Alright! Zhu Jinbo said.
Men, send them to the hospital. The sooner the better!
Master, just leave the two young masters to us.
I he speaker was not tall but had a well-proportioned build and gave off a very shrewd vibe.
His name was Li Annan, Zhu Jinbos assistant, who had been by his side for over a decade and was highly valued.
First, because Li Annan was extremely sharp; Zhu Jinbo only needed to give a hint, and Li Annan would understand without needing further exnation.
Second, Li Annans skills had reached E-ss, allowing him to handle many matters independently, saving Zhu Jinbo a lot of trouble.
Although he was just an assistant, over the years, he had gained a very high status within the Zhu family.
Li Annan then instructed his subordinates to prepare to move Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi to the hospital.
Dad, make sure you dont let them get away. Dont let them leave Rongcheng! Zhu Junchi said.
Dont worry, I know what to do, Zhu Jinbo replied.
You two just focus on recovering. Ill handle everything here.
The fury in the hearts of Zhu Jinbo and Wei Shipu had reached an uncontroble level.
A few years ago, the two families had sent Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi to the Central Guard Brigade with the goal of having them achieve great merits and then repay the families.
Now, just as they were about to seed and be famous, Lu Beichen actually fired them silently!
And there was no exnation at all!
The most infuriating thing was that his son had been beaten up like this before he could even ask for an exnation!
Neither of them could ept such a thing!
At the same time, Li Annan arranged for someone to carry Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi to the elevator.
All of them were in a hurry and wanted to send them to the hospital as soon as possible. They did not want to waste any time.
They should focus on saving the two now. They could wait for the perpetrator to return to handle the rest.
However, at this moment, they realized that there was someone standing at the elevator door, blocking their way.
Hey, hey, hey, youre blocking the way. Get the f*ck out of my way. Dont be an eyesore here!
Are you talking to me?
The person who spoke was a sloppy middle-aged man.
He still had a cigarette in his mouth and his beard was unshaven. No matter how one looked at him, he looked like a beggar.
However, they also knew that this person could not be a beggar.
Because beggars couldnte to the Ritz-Carlton.
The person in front of him was Song Jinmin, who had followed Lin Yi here secretly!
Other than you, is there anyone else around?! Li Annan said.
Get lost! Dont dy our rescue!
What does your rescue have to do with me? Song Jinmin said.
Im going out now. I hope you dont get in the way. Know the rules of firste, first served.
F*ck, are you f*cking looking for trouble?!
Li Annan cursed and pointed at Song Jinmin.
We have something on now and dont have time to deal with this. Get lost!
Are you talking to me? Song Jinmin said indifferently.
Arent you afraid of getting beaten up?
Beat up?
Li Annan narrowed his eyes and said,
Youre asking for it!

The situation was dire. Li Annan did not waste any time. He raised his fist and smashed it at Song Jinmin.
The others did not care about these things. The two families had a good rtionship and knew his level. He could easily resolve the matter at hand.
Even if the guy got his leg broken, it was just his bad luck that he had to stand out and make trouble at this time.
Whack!
Song Jinmin reached out a hand and grabbed Li Annans fist. With just one move, he blocked his attack!
How is this possible?!
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned.
No one expected such an oue!
He was an E-ss expert. How could his attack be blocked?!
What are you doing? Dont you understand the situation? Yet, youre still dawdling! Zhu Jinbo scolded.
Got it. ill get rid of him now!
Li Annans expression became serious after agreeing.
Having his attack blocked by this sloppy man in front of so many people was very embarrassing with his status!
After making up his mind, Li Annan prepared to attack again.
However, when heunched a counterattack, he suddenly realized that something was wrong!
No matter how hard he tried, he seemed to be unable to pull back his hand!
How could this be?
Song Jinmin did not give him a chance to talk nonsense. His big hand suddenly bent upwards and forcefully broke the other partys wrist!
Ah!
Screams resounded throughout the entire building!
No one expected this inconspicuous man to defeat Li Annan in such a way!
How is that possible?!
Seeing Li Annan lying on the ground unable to stand up, Wei Shipu and Zhu
Jinbo were both stunned.
No one expected this simple conflict to develop to this extent!
What are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack!
Wei Shipu had already lost his patience and did not want to waste any more time. He called for people and prepared to get rid of this uninvited guest.
At the same time, the Zhu family also took action. A total of more than ten people attacked Song Jinmin in unison!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
These people in front of him were either ordinary martial arts practitioners, and the strongest was only at the E-ss. Compared to an A-ss big shot like Song Jinmin, they were not evenparable to elementary school students.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Song Jinmin did not waste his breath. He knocked out all the members of the both families with a single punch.
In less than half a minute, more than ten peopley on the ground, groaning.
None of them could stand up.
Their expressions were extremely pained.
Wei Shipu and Zhu Jinbo could no longer remain calm.
These people in front of them were all their subordinates who had been by their side for many years.
They knew their skills very well. They never expected them to be defeated by such an inconspicuous man!
I told you to make way. Why are you so disobedient? Do you have to wait for me to beat you up? Song Jinmin said as he flicked the ashes of his cigarette.
Stop being so full of yourself. Do you really think I cant beat you?!
The furious Li Annan took out a switchde from his waist.
Zhu Jinbo managed to calm him down.
Dont act rashly. Youre not his match.
Zhu Jinbos words helped Li Annan to regain hisposure.
At the same time, the atmosphere on both sides became stiff.
Brother, Im Zhu Jinbo from the Zhu family. I think you should know who I am. If you leave now, I wont argue with you, but dont ask for trouble. It won t do you any good to offend us!
I dont care who you are, Song Jinmin said casually.
Im going downstairs now. Dont waste my time. If you guys cant wait, you can take the stairs.
Zhu Jinbos eyes narrowed. 1 feel like youre deliberately making things difficult for me!
I didnt. You guys were the ones who started it. Why am 1 the one who s troubling you?
Youre f*cking courting death!
Zhu Jinbo was already filled with anger, and encountering such a person at this critical moment was thest straw.
He was like a powder keg that had just been ignited, and his rage made him lose all rationality!
Look at you all, attacking right away. How rude.
Youre courting death!
in the blink of an eye, Zhu Jinbo charged at Song Jinmin.
His moves were not only sharp but also powerful.
If it were Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che, they probably couldnt withstand even three moves from him!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In a flurry of blows, the two exchanged over a dozen strikes, with neither gaining a clear advantage.
No wonder you dare to stand up and cause trouble. Youve got some skills!
Muttering this, Wei Shipu also charged forward!
Wei Shipu knew Zhu Jinbos capabilities well. For someone to hold their own against him, it was clear this person had reached C-ss!
If they were left to duel alone, it was uncertain when a victor would emerge.
He had to get rid of him as soon as possible!
Seeing Wei Shipu rush forward, Song Jinmins lips curled into a smile, and his eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
And then, he revealed his true skills!
Originally, Zhu Jinbo thought that with Wei Shipu joining the battle, the situation would be one-sided.
But unexpectedly, even with Wei Shipus help, they still couldnt take down Song Jinmin!
Seizing a moment of distraction from Zhu Jinbo, Song Jinmins fingertips struck Zhu Jinbos chest, followed by a powerful punch!
A surge of formidable energy spread through Zhu Jinbos entire body.
In an instant, he was rendered powerless!
Ugh!
Zhu Jinbo spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering backward before copsing, unconscious and possibly dead!
Dad!
Sir!
Zhu Junchi and Li Annan eximed in unison, their faces pale and cold sweat pouring down.
None of them had expected that just moments ago, the fight had been evenly matched, and yet after Wei Shipu joined, Zhu Jinbo was taken down with a single move!
What on earth had happened?
This turn of events was due to Song Jinmins excellent tactical choice.
If he had taken down Zhu Jinbo immediately, seeing the unfavorable situation, Wei Shipu would have refrained from engaging, and Song Jinmin would have had no reason to fight him either.
Hence, he pretended to be evenly matched with Zhu Jinbo and lured Wei Shipu to attack. This way, they could deal with the two of them together.
After Zhu Jinbo fainted, Wei Shipus heart almost jumped to his throat.
At this moment, he already thought of retreating.
Even Zhu Jinbo had been beaten to such a state. If he continued to fight, he wouldnt meet a good ending either!
Subconsciously, Wei Shipu tried to retreat, but Song Jinmin did not give him a chance!
He rushed forward and kicked Wei Shipus head!
Thetter did not vomit blood, but he felt his head buzzing.
He staggered a few steps before fainting on the ground!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
At this point, the corridor quieted down. Song Jinmin dusted himself off and walked to the elevator as if nothing had happened.
Momentter, the elevator door opened and Song Jinmin swaggered in. Just like that, they disappeared before everyones eyes like a gust of wind. The entire floor was extremely quiet. This scene was something none of them had ever imagined.
Quick, check on your father!
Li Annan covered his wrist and walked towards Zhu Jinbo, but no matter how he called out, there was no reaction. It was as if he was dead.
Wei Yulong endured the pain in his leg and shouted, Hurry up and call someone over!
At this moment, the other people who had been defeated stood up one after another.
Although his situation was not very good, at least they could still move.
Damn it, we fell into his trap! Zhu Junchi cursed loudly.
What did you say? Wei Yulong said.
Just now, everyone on this floor was evacuated. Coupled with the polices behavior, no one can appear on this floor. Its really unusual for that man to appear here!
Upon hearing Zhu Junchis words, Wei Yulong also realized that something was wrong.
To be able to defeat his father and Zhu Jinbo in such a way, the other party had to be at least a B-ss!
It was impossible for an expert like this to appear out of thin air.
There had to be another reason!
Recalling how Qiu Yuluo and the other two had swaggered away just now, they did not stay here!
Without a doubt, they had arranged for that ordinary-looking man to do this! They had been tricked!
However, how could they possibly have the ability to bring such an expert over! Could it be someone sent by the Yanlong Team?!
If that was really the case, then Lu Beichen was behind this!
Chengdus Shuyue Hot Pot was very famous to the locals.
Although the decor was only averagepared to the major hotpot restaurants, the taste here was haunting.
For convenience, Lin Yi chose a private room on the second floor.
The three of them were eating happily when Lin Yis phone rang. It was a call from Song Jinmin.
The two of them chatted for a few minutes before hanging up.
Done. Continue eating.
The two of them looked at each other. Have you settled the matter between the Wei and Zhu families?
Lin Yi nodded. I dont dare to say anything else, but 1 dont think Ill dare to cause any trouble in the next few months.
If we exclude the Wei and Zhu families, there are only 21 people left in Team 4. Although its not a small number, it can reduce some pressure, Qiu Yuluo said. Thats what Im thinking. 111 do as much as I can so as not to make a mess that I cant clean up.
Im a little curious. How did you force their family to behave over the next few months?
I just send them to the ICU.
ICU
Neither of them expected Lin Yi to solve the problem in such a violent way. Qiu Yuluo rolled her eyes. Dont tell me you asked that person called Song Jinmin for help?
The two of them knew Lin Yis situation better.
From what she knew, the only person who could deal with Wei Shipu and Zhu Jinbo and send them to the ICU was Song Jinmin!
The other party was an A-ss big shot. Not to mention Wei Shipu and Zhu Jinbo, even if everyone in Team 4 leader was included, it was impossible to defeat him without using heavy firepower.
Have you guessed it?
Lin Yi didnt say it out loud and just smiled.
This matter was very risky, so he didnt want them to know too much.
It would be bad if they were implicated.
Looking at your expression, I think I know whats going on, Qiu Yuluo said. ording to you, the Wei and Zhu families have already been dealt with. How are you nning to handle the remaining people?
Lin Yi smacked his lips. I havent decided yet. The others are keeping a low profile, so I cant just go looking for trouble. All I can do is wait for an opportunity.
In truth, dealing with the Wei and Zhu families had been an unexpected bonus for Lin Yi.
Even bringing Song Jinmin along had been a gamble.
As for the other families, Lin Yi had not yet thought of an appropriate way to handle them.
Of course, there was a more direct method.
He could have Song Jinmin secretly track down these families and wipe them out.
With his abilities, this was certainly possible, but doing so would bring Lin Yi dangerously close to death.
Such a significant event would surely draw the attention of the higher-ups in Huaxia, who would not let it slide. Even Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che might face severe consequences.
Therefore, this was not an option.
The two women ate slowly, reflecting on the current situation, realizing they were still in a passive position.
All they could do was wait for the other side to make a move and then decide how to respond.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Lin Yis phone rang.
To his surprise, the person who called was Lu Beichen.
The two of them stuck their heads out to look and realized that it was a call from Lu Beichen.
Lin Yi picked up the phone and turned on the loudspeaker.
Elder Lu.
Youre in Chengdu, right? Lu Beichen said calmly over the phone.
You know about this?
1 heard it from Liu Hong. Lu Beichen said, Something happened to the Wei and Zhu families. That should be your doing.
The three of them were stunned.
In less than half an hour, Lu Beichen found out!
His terrifying intelligence made people shudder.
I did it.
On the other end of the line, Lu Beichenughed. I know what youre thinking.
Theres no need to do this. Ill handle it.
Understood.
Lin Yi didnt ask further about this.
With Lu Beichens shrewdness, regardless of whether he had the ability to handle this matter, he would not tell Lin Yi.
Unless he was willing to say it himself, it was almost impossible to get it out of him.
Dont just agree. Lu Beichen said.
I heard from Liu Hong that several members of Team 1 have already submitted their retirement applications. They are expected toe to Yanjing tomorrow for their final debriefing. Theres no need to hide the fact that youre still alive. You should handle the matters of Team 1 when you get back. What? Theyve all submitted their retirement applications?
As the most secretivebat unit in Huaxia, retiring was not as simple as submitting an application.
Each member carried numerous secrets, and to prevent these secrets from being leaked, a series of investigations had to be conducted after a retirement application was submitted.
Only those who passed these investigations could be granted retirement.
This caution was not unfounded. Cases like this had urred multiple times in the history of the Central Guard Brigade, which led to them requiring extreme care.
Thats what Ive heard. Anyway, you handle the matters of Team 1 yourself. Im swampedtely, so dont add to my problems.
Ill return tomorrow.
Okay..
Chapter 1869: Make the Fake Act a Reality
Chapter 1869: Make the Fake Act a Reality
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Their conversation was short and concise. They hung up after finishing their business.
Ning Che was startled. Old Master Lu is too well-informed. He actually received the news so quickly.
Im guessing that before Elder Lu took action, he had already nted people around the variousrge families. Otherwise, he wouldnt be so well-informed. Qiu Yuluo said.
Perhaps Elder Lu really has a way to deal with them.
Not necessarily. Ning Che said.
We can all but confirm that hes nted spies, but no one knows if he can actually deal with them. We have to be more serious. When he needs it, we have to help Elder Lu get rid of all these obstacles.
But Elder Lu has already spoken. We have to hurry back.
Lin Yi nodded. Ill visit the Zhou family tomorrow. If theres nothing else, Ill head back to Yanjing after.
Okay.
After dinner that night, the three of them did not return to the Ritz Carlton. Instead, they found another hotel to rest in.
Lin Yi sent the two of them back, then found a bathhouse with Song Jinmin and prepared to get a massage.
Youre going back to Yanjing tomorrow? Song Jinmin asked. Youre not done here, are you?
Lu Beichen asked me to return. Lin Yi said, Speaking of Team 4, he told he could handle it himself and wont let me interfere.
Hes probably afraid of implicating you, Song Jinmin said.
Although he has a high position and authority, its not certain if he can handle this matter well.
Thats what 1 thought, so Im a little worried.
Whats the use of worrying? Just provide me with the specific information, and Ill go over and kill them all.
Big brother, can you keep a low profile? Lin Yi said with a face full of ck lines.
If you really kill them all, I probably wont live long either.
I hate it when you people keep dithering. Its so frustrating.
If you were really that tough, why did my mom have to flip the table?
Song Jinmin smacked his lips. Lets change the subject.
Do you need to prepare? Im nning to handle the ck Snake matter as soon as 1 return to Yanjing.
I do need some preparation time. Give me two days, Song Jinmin said.
At your level, you still need two days?
Even though Im at A-ss, a single artillery shell can still kill me, Song Jinmin replied.
This isnt the ind. 1 need to be careful.
Fine, you handle the remaining details. We have to deal with ck Snake thoroughly.
Puahhh
With a slow drag on his cigarette, Song Jinmin said. I dont think you can keep avoiding this. Even if you deal with ck Snake, youll eventually have to return to Zhonghai. The issues with those women will still need to be addressed.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi said calmly.
There have been a lot of problemstely. 1 need to think about how to handle this.
Its such a hassle. 1 do have a method that could solve everything once and for all.
Lets hear it.
Lets make the fake act a reality.
What do you mean by that?
Lets find a secluded ce, and Ill kill you. That way, its all settled.
Are you serious? Is this your idea of a solution? Lin Yi cursed. Do you believe my mom would kill you if she found out about this?
I was just joking to lighten the mood, Song Jinmin said.
In my opinion, if the soft approach doesnt work, use the hard one. Force the issue. They wouldnt want their children to grow up without a father. You get what I mean, right?
Thats a really mean move.
I learned it from your dad.
Hes really a bad person.
Weve reached an unprecedented consensus on this.
It waste at night, but neither of them left. After two hours, they fell asleep in the private room.
The next morning, the two of them went for breakfast together. Lin Yi returned to the hotel, picked up Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che, and took a taxi to the Zhou familys house.
Compared to the first time he came, the Zhou family looked a little livelier.
More than a dozen cars were parked in the yard, and there were workers tidying thewn.
After so many days, the Zhou familys situation seemed to be improving.
In the Zhou familys vi, Zhou Xicheng was having breakfast with his family. The dishes were simple, but the ingredients used were expensive.
There were four people at the table. Other than Zhou Xicheng, there was also his wife, Fan Shuxian, Fan Jiayi, and Zhou Yuan.
He came here today mainly forpany matters and to see how the two of them were doing.
Elder Aunt, you should eat more, Fan Jiayi said.
You cant eat so little every day.
Listen to the child and eat more. Zhou Xichengforted her.
I dont have much of an appetite. Ill eatter. Fan Shuxian stood up and said.
You guys chat first. 111 go out and sit.
With the help of the servants, Fan Shuxian walked out of the vi and prepared to go to the courtyard to rx.
Facing this situation, Zhou Xicheng could not say anything. She could only let her slowly adjust. No one else could help.
Uncle, what do you think about the water park project on the sea? Zhou Yuan asked.
The idea is quite good, but it needs to be done carefi;;y to reach a level where it canpete with Disney. Otherwise, itll just be a joke, Zhou Xicheng replied.
This project has already been halted by Zhonghai authorities. How can we proceed?
Fan Jiayi didnt oppose the project outright. This was just a facade. Once the contract was signed, Zhou Yan nned to transfer it to his ownpany.
This was something she didnt want to see happen.
Halted? Zhou Xichengs expression changed slightly. He hadnt anticipated this.
As long as all the contract procedures wereplete, something like this shouldnt have happened.
I dont know the details, but its been stopped.
Zhou Yuan said, feeling a surge of anger. This obstacle kept ruining his ns time and again!
Uncle, heres the situation, Zhou Yuan continued calmly.
There were some issues before, but they will be resolved soon. No need to worry, its just a misunderstanding.
Good, as long as it can be resolved, Zhou Xicheng said.
Otherwise, the initial investment would be wasted.
Zhou Xicheng did notment too much on this matter. He did not have the energy to worry too much about this.
Uncle, since you dont have any other opinions, I have a document that 1 need you to sign.
Zhou Yuan took out a thick stack of documents. This was the real purpose of his trip!
Once Zhou Xicheng signed this contract, his n would be half sessful!
Zhou Xicheng did not think too much about it and took the pen from him.
Zhou Yuans heart was pounding nervously.
If Uncle took a closer look at the contract, he would discover something fishy.
However, this was the most important part.. If anything went wrong, he would be in trouble!
Chapter 1870: Showdown
Chapter 1870: Showdown
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Just as Zhou Yuan had expected, Zhou Xicheng did not think too much about it, nor did he read it in detail.
Following Zhou Yuans instructions, he signed his name on the thick stack of contracts.
Fan Jiayi, who was sitting at the side, had an unnatural expression.
She had always felt that something was wrong with this project, but her cousins threerades had said that they would take over this matter, so she let them handle it.
Seeing that Zhou Xicheng had signed, Zhou Yuans eyes lit up.
Now that the contract was signed, half of the corporation would fall into his hands!
As for the remaining half, through secret operations, he would be able to seize itpletely in a year or two!
Ill leave this project to the two of you. It can be considered a test for you. Work hard, Zhou Xicheng said.
Got it, Uncle. Dont worry. 111 definitely work hard and not let you down!
Its good to have such high confidence.
At this moment, footsteps came from the door. Lin Yi and the other two walked in.
Theyre all here. I cant believe theyre all here. Ning Che smiled.
When Ning Che said that everyone was present, she was not referring to how many people from the Zhou family hade. Instead, she meant that the key figures were all present.
Because three people were involved in this matter.
Zhou Xicheng, Zhou Yuan, and Fan Jiayi.
Seeing the three of them enter, Zhou Yuans expression changed.
He didnt know Lin Yi and Ning Che, but he knew Qiu Yuluo.
When her cousin died, she came over to his funeral.
And the problems this project was facing was also caused by her actions behind the scenes.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan did not want to see her at this critical moment!
Miss Qiu, Miss Ning, youre here.
Seeing the three of them enter, Zhou Xicheng forced a smile and weed them to the sofa.
Although he did not reject the three of them, Zhou Xicheng still did not understand why the people from the Central Guards Brigade woulde over repeatedly.
Wasnt this a little too frequent?
Everyone sat down. Zhou Yuans expression was not very good.
He had already told Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi about this matter. With their abilities, they should be able to settle this matter easily. Why did these peoplee here so tantly?
Mr. Zhou, were here today mainly to talk to you about the project.
Project?
Zhou Xicheng looked at Qiu Yuluo, not knowing what she was talking about.
Is there a new project that you want to coborate with our Zhou family on?
Its not a project. Its the Zhonghai Water Paradise project between your Zhou family, the Wei family, and the Zhu family.
Zhou Xicheng was even more puzzled. Fie first looked at Zhou Yuan, then at Fan Jiayi.
This was a new project developed by the three families and had nothing to do with the Central Guards Brigade.
Why did shee to talk to him about this project?
Miss Qiu, if you have anything to say, just say it, Zhou Xicheng said politely.
Then Ill be frank with you. Qiu Yuluo changed her posture and said calmly, This nephew of yours is preparing to transfer all of the Zhou familys assets away through this project. I wont say much about the rest. Youre someone who has been through a lot. You should understand what 1 mean.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xichengs expression immediately turned serious. His gaze became sharp, and he regained his authoritative demeanor.
Uncle, dont listen to their nonsense. Im your own nephew, so how could I do such a thing? They are framing me! Zhou Yuan exined.
Moreover, the Wei and Zhu families are prominent families in Chuansheng, known for their credibility. This project will certainly be profitable oncepleted. Dont listen to their one-sided usations.
Zhu Junchi has already confessed. Stop trying to deny it.
Qiu Yuluo took out her phone and yed the recording Lin Yi had taken the previous day.
After listening, Zhou Xichengs face turned extremely grim.
With such concrete evidence, he knew whom to believe.
He had never imagined that his own nephew would be capable of such actions!
Zhou Yuans face turned pale. He hadnt expected them to produce such evidence.
Thats impossible! How could he say such things to you! Zhou Yuan eximed.
We are partners. Why would he disregard his own interests and say such things?
Money is important, but not more important than life. When ones life is at stake, who would care about these things?
Lin Yi said calmly.
Moreover, to both of them, you are just a pawn. Why would they prioritize this project?
Zhou Xicheng said nothing. Fie returned to the dining table, found the documents Zhou Yuan had handed him earlier, and carefully reviewed them for a while.
When he read to the end, Zhou Xichengs expression became even uglier. He could tell at a nce that something was wrong.
Zhou Xicheng mmed the document onto the ground.
I want you to give me an exnation.
Zhou Yuan did not say anything. His expression was not very good either. Instead, he sneered.
Uncle, whats the point of saying all this now? The contract has already been signed. Although 1 didnt fully seed, half of the Hercules Group is already in my hands.
Zhou Yuan stood up and stood in front of Zhou Xicheng without hiding his ambition.
Ive been plotting in the dark for more than a year for today. If you want to me someone, me my cousin for dying at the right time and creating an opportunity for me. Otherwise, 1 would have to wait for a while before 1 can get the corporation. It can be considered as fulfilling my wish.
You!
Zhou Xicheng was so angry that his body trembled. Fie held his chest and took a few steps back. Fie could not even stand steadily.
Uncle!
Seeing that the situation was bad, Fan Jiayi ran to Zhou Xicheng and supported him. Otherwise, he would have fallen to the ground.
Zhou Yuan, you ungrateful wretch! Your uncle trusted you so much and handed thepany to you, and you did this? Is this how you repay his mentorship?
A narrow mind is not a gentleman, a man must be ruthless to seed. With my abilities, I could lead Hercules Group to greater heights. Why should 1 work for the Zhou family and let that useless Zhou Liang enjoy life while 1 toil?
Zhou Yuans emotions were also running high, and he seemed to be venting years of pent-up frustration.
Ill tell you, Fan Jiayi, youve been opposing me all these years, rejecting several of my projects. Ive kept track of everything. Now, half of thepany is under my control. Once I get back, Ill kick you out of thepany. Stop being a thorn in my side!
After saying this, Zhou Yuan looked at Lin Yi and the others with a malevolent re.
You think youre so great, but you still came toote. Now, half of Hercules Group is in my hands, and the board of directors supports me. Give me a year, and Ill kick all of them out. Then, the entire group will be mine, haha
Did you just say Zhou Liang died at the right time? Lin Yis voice was low and menacing..
Chapter 1871: Talk Without Making it Weird
Chapter 1871: Talk Without Making it Weird
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Isnt that the case? Zhou Yuan shrugged his shoulders with an arrogant expression.
If he hadnt died, I wouldnt have had the chance to ascend to the throne. Haha To be honest, Im quite grateful to you. If it werent for you, I might have to wait another year or two. I really have to thank you.
Lin Yi stood up and walked towards Zhou Yuan step by step.
Thetters expression was a little unnatural. Although their figures were simr, Lin Yi put him under pressure he had never felt before. His heart couldnt help but beat faster, and his feet seemed to be out of control as he retreated uncontrobly.
What are you doing Zhou Yuans voice trembled. Let me tell you, if you dare to attack me, you will have to bear legal responsibility!
Whack!
Lin Yi didnt say anything and pped Zhou Yuans face.
With Zhou Yuans physical condition, how could he withstand Lin Yis strength?
He was sent flying with a p, and blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth.
He looked abnormally miserable.
How dare you hit me? Ill sue you!
Looking down at Zhou Yuan, Lin Yi was expressionless.
Do you believe that 111 kill you?
Zhou Yuan shuddered as the hair on his body stood on end.
However, he quickly calmed down. This was awful society. Even if he had a hundred guts, he would not dare to do anything to him.
Hehe Zhou Yuanughed and struggled to get up from the ground.
Youre awesome. Im impressed. I know I cant afford to offend you. 111 leave, alright? In any case, Ive achieved my goal. 1 wont waste time with you guys. Lin Yi didnt say anything. He looked down at the contract Zhou Xicheng had just signed and picked it up.
Is this contract what you are relying on?
So what? Zhou Yuan said fearlessly.
Lin Yi took the lighter from the coffee table and lit the contract in midair.
Zhou Yuan was stunned. He didnt expect Lin Yi to do such a thing.
If the contract was destroyed, everything he had done would be in vain!
Give me the f*cking contract!
Zhou Yuan rushed over like a madman, trying to snatch the contract from Lin Yis hand.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi didnt give him a chance and kicked him!
Zhou Yuan was kicked to the ground, looking even more miserable than before.
Soon, the thick stack of contracts was burned to ashes.
Zhou Yuans expression copsed. Both contracts had been burned, and he no longer had any evidence.
It was impossible for him to seize control of thepany in the future.
All the hard work he had put in over the past few years had gone to waste.
Cold sweat soaked Zhou Yuans clothes. He knew that he had nowhere to go. Staggering, Zhou Yuan crawled to Zhou Xichengs side and hugged his thigh. Uncle, 1 know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I was also bewitched into doing such a thing. I wont dare to do it again.
Zhou Xichengs previous weakness was washed away, and his eyes revealed a sharp gaze.
Do you think Ill still give you a chance?
But Im your nephew. You cant do this to me.
So what if youre my nephew? Youve done such a disgraceful thing. I definitely wont let you live!
Zhou Xicheng did not give Zhou Yuan any room to maneuver.
If he didnt have such a heart of stone, he wouldnt have been able to raise the
Zhou family to these heights over so many years.
Zhou Yuan sat weakly on the ground. At this point, no matter what he said, it was useless.
Men, bring him out!
Zhou Xichengs two bodyguards walked in from outside and dragged Zhou
Yuan out.
Team Leader Lin, this is all thanks to you. If you hadnte in time, our
Zhou family would have really been finished.
Zhou Liang was my subordinate. This is what I should do. Lin Yi said.
As I said before, if theres anything the Zhou family cant handle in the future, you can call me. Ill do my best to help you deal with it.
Thank you, Team Leader Lin.
After finishing their business, the three of them prepared to leave.
Originally, Zhou Xicheng wanted to keep the three of them for a meal, but they rejected him.
They still had things to deal with in Yanjing, so they couldnt waste their time here.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them left the Zhou family and took a taxi to the airport.
Song Jinmin had already left since Lin Yi wanted to deal with ck Snake. He still needed to prepare, so he parted ways with Lin Yi in advance.
Two hourster, the three of themnded at Yanjing Airport and returned to the base in the Central Guards Brigades car.
At around two in the afternoon, when the three of them arrived at Liu Hongs office, they saw him eating.
Its already two oclock. Why are you only eating now?
I had a lot of things to do recently. I just finished my work and have a meetingter. This is my first meal of the day. Liu Hong said as he ate.
Have you settled the matters in Chengdu? The Zhou family should be in a good mood.
Its almost done, Lin Yi said.
Since the matters in Chengdu have been settled, I came back to take care of Team 1.
Liu Hong said,
Theyve submitted their retirement applications, as you might have heard.
Yes, Ive heard. Have they all arrived?
They came this morning and are currently under investigation. They should be out soon.
Did you tell them about my situation in advance?
I was going to, but then 1 thought it might be better for you to exin it yourself, considering your resurrected status.
Alright then, Lin Yi said, somewhat resigned.
After everything is done, bring them over. Ill exin everything at once to save time.
Got it.
Liu Hong quickly finished his meal. I have a meeting to attend. You guys stay here.
Okay.
After Liu Hong left, the office became quiet. Ning Che lit a cigarette, her long legs propped up on the coffee table.
You mentioned dealing with ck Snakes people. When are you nning to go?
Sometime in the next few days, but I dont know when exactly, Lin Yi replied. You two dont need to help with this. After all the trouble youve been through, you both should rest.
Im not tired. As long as Team 3 doesnt have any missions, Ill go with you, Ning Che said.
They almost killed you. 1 need to settle this score.
Calm down. Look at Team Leader Qiu, shes not moring to go with me, Lin Yi said with augh.
Were different. After all these years, I finally found someone who fits me perfectly in both size and timing. If you die, Id be lost. So I have to settle this score.
Lin Yi,
Can we just have a normal conversation without you making it weird?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Can you be serious for once? Is that really a reason?
Qju Yukio said, exasperated, feeling helpless against Ning Che.
She even felt a bit out of ce being there.
Without her here, they might have already started going at it.
Im just expressing my true nature, unlike you, always holding back, Ning Che replied.
Anyway, Iming with you. Im just as idle, so consider it a mission to keep my skills sharp.
Knock, knock, knock!
Come in.
As they were talking, there was a knock on the office door, and Qju Yuluo called out in response.
Crack
The door lock was unlocked, and Xiao Bing, Yu Siying, and the others walked in.
Sister Qiu, Sister Ning, Lin
Alt!
Before Xiao Bing could greet them, she suddenly saw Lin Yi sitting next to Ning Che!
The two of them were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
The others in Team i were the same. They stood rooted to the ground as if they had been petrified.
They subconsciously retreated to the door. Their legs were numb.
You, who are you
Yu Siying grabbed the corner of Zhang Chaos shirt behind her. Clearly, she was also nervous.
Calm down, Im not dead, Lin Yi said, It was Elder Lu who arranged for me to fake my death.
Fame your death?
Hearing Lin Yis familiar voice, everyone was pulled back to reality.
There are still many things to we have to do in secret, so we nned this out. Everyone, calm down and get to talking.
Xiao Bing helped Sui Qiang stand up and patted the dust off her butt. Like the others, she kept staring at Lin Yi.
It was as if she wanted to dig out something from his body.
Brother Lin, its great that youre not dead!
Xiao Bing screamed and pounced on Lin Yi, hugging his neck and crying. Boohoo You scared me to death. We thought you were really dead The others were also overjoyed and gathered in front of Lin Yi.
The indescribable joy made them speechless. They did not know what words to use to express their feelings.
All of them could only smile foolishly. Their mouths were about to split open to their ears.
Alright, alright. Calm down. Its not a big deal.
Lin Yi smiled andforted her. He felt like his life had meaning for him to be able to lead a group of subordinates like this.
If it werent for you, Team i would have dispersed. Xiao Bing wiped her tears and said, There would be no point in us staying here.
I heard about your retirement application. Get them to reject itter. Im not dead yet. Work hard here.
Okay!
Guys, lets not sit here anymore. Im going to book a table. Lets drink until were drunk! Luo Qi said.
Lin Yi and the other two had nothing to do, so they agreed.
But Lin Yi didnt go straightaway. Instead, he went to the hospital.
Although he knew Li Chuhans situation like the back of his hand in the past few days in Chengdu, he still had to check her out.
When they arrived at the hospital, they found that Li Chuhans ward was surrounded by arge group of people. The older ones were in their forties or fifties, and the younger ones were in their thirties. They surrounded Li Chuhan.
Lin Yi originally thought that the doctors were here to check on Li Chuhans condition, but he didnt expect them to be discussing academic issues.
Lin Yi couldnt help butugh. It seemed like she had almost recovered. Otherwise, she wouldnt have had the energy to discuss these questions.
As if sensing something, Li Chuhan turned her head and saw Lin Yi behind the crowd through the gap. Her face could not help but reveal a hint of joy.
However, Li Chuhan didnt say much. He continued to discuss the cardiology departments case with the doctors of Union Medical College Hospital.
This could be considered an exchange of experience.
Invisibly, Li Chuhan sped up, hoping to end this discussion as soon as possible.
About half an hourter, everyone left and Lin Yi walked in.
Brother Lin, youre back!
Seeing Lin Yi, Qiao Xin weed him.
How is it? The situation has been pretty good these few days, right?
Everythings fine. If I hadnt been waiting for you, I would have been discharged tomorrow.
Then quickly leave the hospital. No matter how good a hospital is, its still a hospital.
Are we going back to Zhonghai? Qiao Xin asked.
Wait, I have other things to do. Ill go back after Im done. Lin Yi said.
Stay in a hotel for the next few days and take this opportunity to stroll around Yanjing.
Alright, Ill listen to you.
As long as Lin Yi was around, Li Chuhan usually didnt have any opinions. She would do whatever he said.
After staying with Li Chuhan in the hospital for a while, Lin Yi returned to the restaurant and met up with Team 1.
The ce where they were eating was a Chuansheng restaurant. They booked arge private room and prepared to get drunk.
The ten of them ordered more than twenty dishes. This kind of behavior was considered extravagant.
However, no one ate anything. They drank bottle after bottle, followed by white wine.
This was their way of expressing their joy.
A few hourster, about a hundred bottles of beer went down their stomachs before they drank four more bottles of Maotai.
Everyone was in a slightly tipsy state. The atmosphere in the private room was no longer so noisy.
Brother Lin, are we going to avenge Zhou Liang? Sui Qiang asked in a low voice.
In their eyes, Zhou Liangs death was caused by ck Snake. They did not know that the Wang Family was behind it.
Therefore, for a long time, the imaginary enemy in their hearts was ck Snake.
Lin Yi held his ss and took another sip.
I m preparing for this. I might be going in the next few days.
Hearing this, everyones eyes lit up.
Well go with you! Zhao Yunhu said, We must take revenge!
Lin Yi nodded and said nothing.
Because there was no way he could refuse.
They were also members of Team 1. Team 1 naturally had to take revenge for the members of Team 1!
Everyone, get ready. We can set off at any time!
Good!
That evening, after dinner, Lin Yi went to the hospital. He stayed with Li Chuhan overnight and the next day handled her discharge, settling them into a hotel.
The next day at noon, Lin Yi met Song Jimnin at their usual spot in Water Wrapped Hot Springs.
Song Jimnin, looking as disheveled as ever, filled the room with smoke when Lin Yi arrived.
Are you ready?
Song Jimnin nodded. ck Snake is divided into two parts. One part is the group you encountered in Chepopur. They mainly conduct overseas operations, handling robbery and other criminal activities. The other group is on the ind. You dont need to worry about them because their operations are mostly separate. But if you dont want to let any of them go, I can take care of them once I return to the ind. Its not a big deal.
Lin Yi listened silently. Where is their base?
In Baraw, a small town in Somal, Song Jimnin replied.
But there are no direct flights from Zhonghai. Youll need to go to Dubai first, then catch a connecting flight to Mogash, and from there drive to Barawe. Thats basically how well get there.
Alright, Ill go prepare and leave soon.
Are you in such a hurry?
Do you have anything else to do?
I added three more hours, so itll end around at three oclock.
Damn!
Chapter 1873: Unique Form of Tenderness
Chapter 1873: Unique Form of Tenderness
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi ignored Song Jininin and called the members of Team i.
Two hourster, everyone gathered at the airport and flew to Doora.
However, Song Jinmin did not follow them. He took a ne and left alone.
More than seven hourster, the nended at the airport in Doora.
As soon as he got off the ne, a familiar feeling enveloped Lin Yi.
This scene reminded Lin Yi of the time when Ji Qingyan came to Doora.
He could still clearly remember Ji Qingyan wearing a floral dress, sunsses, andce-up sandals. She looked as elegant as a celebrity who hade here to shoot an advertisement.
There was also that familiar LV store. Ji Qingyan wandered around it for a while, but in the end, she did not buy anything.
Only the Christmas tree in the middle of the mall was gone. The person apanying him was no longer the smiling and arrogant woman from before Brother Lin, why are you still in a daze? Lets go. Xiao Bing, who was walking in front of him, turned around and said.
Its fine. You guys go ahead first.
Lin Yi followed them out.
Whether by coincidence or fate, when they arrived in Doora, the group checked into their usual hotel, the Sailboat Hotel, where he had stayed before.
Everything here was very familiar to him.
Ring ring ring!
Everyone had just settled down at the hotel when they received a call from Lu Beichen.
You should be in Doora by now.
You even know about that?
So many people left with you. How could I not know? Lu Beichen chuckled over the phone.
From your tone, I dont think youll care about this anymore.
Of course not. Lu Beichen said.
The Central Guards Brigade is that kind of ce. You have to take revenge. Moreover, you personally arranged this. Im relieved. Just treat it as training with Team 1.
Is there anything else you want to tell me?
The Central Guards Brigade is different from other organizations. Just dont expose your identity. Lu Beichen said.
This is the only request I have for you. Do it well.
Understood.
I wont say anything else. Make your own arrangements. Be careful ande back early.
Okay.
Not long after he hung up, the others gathered.
Brother Lin, when are we leaving? Yu Siying asked.
Dont be anxious. Weve been on the ne for so long. Lets rest first. Ill inform you when we set off. Lin Yi looked at his watch.
If you have nothing to do, you can look around.
Its already nighttime. Lets go out and eat something, Xiao Bing said.
I wont eat with you. You guys go ahead.
With that, Lin Yi silently walked out of the room and didnt arrange anything else.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong with Lin Yi.
Alright, dont bother about him, Ning Che said. Lets go eat first, then Ill take you guys shopping.
It was already past seven in the evening. Nightlife in Doora had just begun.
Lin Yi took a taxi and arrived at the port of Doora.
Then, he booked a helicopter and flew towards the sea.
About an hourter, the helicopternded on an ind.
Beside the tarmac stood a small sign with the words Ji Qingyan written on it.
The past surged into his mind like a tide.
What had happened on Christmas that day felt as it had happened yesterday. It was unforgettable.
The ind was dark, a stark contrast to the bright lights of that day. It was like an abandoned ind.
The past was sealed here.
Step by step, Lin Yi walked towards the vi ahead.
There was only a shallowyer of water left in the fountain. Below it was mud and fallen leaves, making it look slightly dpidated.
Lin Yi reached out and used his fingerprint to open the door, but he didnt turn on the light.
Moonlight shone in from the outside. Beams of light illuminated the area ahead.
Dust filled the air in the light beam. Every speck seemed to be a light spot engraved with memories, pulling Lin Yis thoughts back to that unforgettable night.
Walking up the stairs, Lin Yi walked around every room.
Back then, when she first arrived here, she had visited every single room.
Her scent seemed to permeate every corner of the vi.
Finally, Lin Yi went to the master bedroom.
Moonlight shone through a gap in the curtains. That night, the two of them rested here.
Gently, Lin Yis fingers brushed across the soft bed as if she was still beside him.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi took a deep breath and suppressed all his memories. Then, he walked downstairs.
People couldnt always live in their memories. Some things needed to be faced in person.
He had to face it.
It was quiet as Lin Yi walked downstairs.
He hade here today to take a look. Now that he was done, it was time to go back.
But just as he was about to go back, Lin Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His emotions, which had just calmed down, surged again like a storm, engulfing him like waves!
Lin Yi saw a photo frame on the cab beside the sofa. It wasnt big, about half the size of an AZ, paper. It stood there quietly.
The photo on it was a photo of the two of them!
To be more precise, it was a photo of himself and Ji Qingyan!
Lin Yi remembered very clearly that it was a photo he had taken with her at home. It was very homely.
She sat on the sofa and she was in his arms. Her beautiful big eyes narrowed into crescents, and her smile was sweeter than honey.
However, this photo made Lin Yi unable to move.
When he first came here, he wanted to give her a surprise, so she didnt prepare anything and followed him here empty-handed.
It was impossible to ce the photos.
Ever since then, the two of them had returned to Zhonghai and never came here again.
But now, there was a photo of the two of them.
This meant that Ji Qingyan had most likely been here since then!
Then, she had ced their photo here!
However, they had been separated for a long time.This meant that during the time when everything went wrong, Ji Qingyan hade here and left a photo behind.
As Lin Yi suspected, upon hearing the news of his death, Ji Qingyan had dropped everything.
The day before, apanied by Qin Yingyue, she had quietlye to Doora.
She discreetly left a photo of the two of them in the vi.
To her, this ind felt like a grave, and the photo symbolized their past together.
In that moment, she buried all their memories on this ind.
This gesture was Ji Qingyans unique form of tenderness.
Chapter 1874: Disconnected Space-Time
Chapter 1874: Disconnected Space-Time
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi suddenly felt a sense of depression in his chest, making it hard to breathe. He picked up the photo, wiped off the dust, and then left the ind with it.
When Lin Yi returned, it was already past ten in the evening.
Ning Che and the others hadnte back yet.
Lin Yi sat alone in the room, staring at the photo for a long while before finally falling into a deep sleep.
The next morning, around seven, Lin Yi was woken up by a call from Song Jinmin.
Pack your things and head to the airport. Everythings ready. The flight is at 10:30, dont bete.
We have a private jet, no rush.
Flying private is a hassle. Emirates is more convenient, Song Jinmin said.
Otherwise, you might get robbed right afternding. No one knows even the ne can make it back.
That intense?
Of course. Somal is a haven for criminals. Imagine a ce with no legal constraints how thrilling would that be?
No legal constraints
Lin Yi didnt know much about Somal, with his limited knowledge being mainly about Somal pirates.
What Song Jinmin said gave Lin Yi a new perspective on the ce.
It certainly sounded thrilling.
Got it. Ill bring the team over now.
Understanding the importance of the mission, Lin Yi didnt waste time. After hanging up, he notified the others to get up and get ready.
As for the photo he brought back from the ind, Lin Yi ced it on the bedside table.
He nned to retrieve it after the mission waspleted when he returned.
After washing up, the ten of them had a quick breakfast and then drove to the airport.
Everyone also saw Song Jinmin. After a simple greeting, they boarded the ne together.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were very familiar with Song Jinmin, but the others in Team 1 did not know him very well.
He only knew that he was the one who flew Lin Yi and Zhou Liang back to Panem from Chepopur.
However, their instincts told them that this man was not simple.
Otherwise, he would not have gone with them for this operation.
After the ne took off, Lin Yi and Song Jinmin sat in the back.
When we separated from Chengdu, didnt you say that you were going back to prepare? Why did youe alone? Did the others split up?
Lin Yi knew very well that this time, he would fight ck Snake to the death.
Moreover, they were going to ck Snakes main base, and with just the current team, it might not be enough.
Although using a strategy like capturing the leader first could lead to a surprise victory and an outnumbered sess, the risks would greatly increase. This was something Lin Yi didnt want to see.
We dont actually need that many people, Song Jinmin said, reaching into his pocket to light a cigarette, but then remembered they were on a ne.
Anyway, Ive got everything prepared. There wont be any problems, dont worry.
Since Song Jinmin said there wouldnt be any problems, Lin Yi didnt ask further.
Given his capabilities, if Song Jinmin said it would be fine, then it likely would be.
Lin Yi leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
What awaited him next was probably a fierce battle, and he needed to be in good condition.
Soon, the ne slowly took off, ascending into the blue sky.
Doora, Antean Hotel.
A middle-aged woman gently knocked on the door of Room 2408.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a long dress, but time did not seem to have left any traces on her face. She looked like she was 30 years old and was very young.
And this person was Qin Yingyue.
The person staying in Room 2408 was none other than Ji Qingyan.
During the few days that Lin Yi was buried, she did not go anywhere. In fact, she did not even leave Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Every day, she would sit in the courtyard in a daze, or perhaps take a walk.
Three days ago, she had suggesteding to Doora.
After learning of this news, Qin Yingyue and He Yuanyuan agreed wholeheartedly.
It was better to go out and rx than to hold it in at home.
Hence, He Yuanyuan asked Gao Zongyuan to arrange for a private ne. Then, Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue took the ne to Doora.
However, her motive foring here was not to travel and rx, but to visit.
That was a ce that only she and Lin Yi knew.
There were memories that only belonged to the two of them stored there.
She wanted toe here again at thisst moment and bury all her past here.
Then, she would return to her own life.
Creak!
The room door was pushed open. Ji Qingyan had already put on her clothes, but she had yet to put on makeup.
Ji Qingyan was dressed in ck jeans and a white chiffon blouse. Her attire was simple, low-key, and clean.
Put on makeup. You cant go around bare-faced every day, Qin Yingyue consoled.
The two of them had arrived at Doora two nights ago. They had stayed here for the entire day yesterday and were preparing to leave today.
I didnt bring any makeup with me. Lets leave it at that for now. Ji Qingyan looked at her watch. Its already past seven. Ill apany you to eat something.
If you dont want to eat, 1 wont eat either, Qin Yingyue said.
Ji Qingyan averted her gaze and nodded.
Thats right. No matter what, you have to eat a little. Otherwise, your body wont be able to take it.
The two of them arrived at the hotels dining area. Qin Yingyue ordered a lot of food, hoping that Ji Qingyan could eat more.
But in the end, she didnt even eat half a bowl of porridge and stopped eating.
No matter how Qin Yingyue tried to persuade him, she did not take another bite.
Qin Yingyuemented repeatedly in her heart. She saw it and her heart ached.
She recalled what He Yuanyuan had said. Her senior sister understood everything. No one could persuade her.
She could only slowly adjust herself. When she got over that emotion, everything would be fine.
Its a good time to travel to Doora. Are you sure you dont want to take a look around here?
Qin Yingyue probed, hoping that she could stay here for a few more days to rx.
Ji Qingyan shook her head gently. I just wanted toe here and visit. Ive already gone where I wanted to go, so theres no need for me to go anywhere else.
Alright, the car is already waiting outside. Lets go now.
Yeah.
The two of them packed their things and walked out of the hotel.
A ck Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the entrance, ready to take the two of them to the airport.
The car drove steadily on the streets. The scenery outside the window and the people of all shapes and sizes shed past her eyes like fleeting shadows.
To her, these were memories that were about to be sealed.
She would probably nevere back in this lifetime.
The airport was very close to the city center of Doora. They arrived in less than 20 minutes.
The flight crew helped the two of them carry their luggage onto the ne. Ji Qingyan held onto the handrail and boarded the ne step by step.
However, just as she was about to ascend thest step, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She looked back in the direction of the sea, her eyes filled with tears and reluctance.
She did not want to leave, nor could she bear to leave
Chapter 1875: Something Is Missing
Chapter 1875: Something Is Missing
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Whats wrong, Qingyan? Qin Yingyue asked from the side, afraid that there was something wrong with her.
Auntie
Ji Qingyan said as she wiped her tears.
Yo, yo, yo, why are you still crying? Wipe it quickly. If you have anything to say to me, Ill help you.
I want to visit it again.
Ji Qingyan cried even harder. She knew that once she left, she would nevere here again.
She wanted to take onest look at that ce full of memories and say her final goodbyes.
You mean the ce we went to yesterday?
Yeah.
Why not? Lets not leave for now. Well go over now.
Qin Yingyue knew that the ce Ji Qingyan wanted to go to was a small ind. After she woke up yesterday morning, she went straight there.
However, after she arrived, her emotions became extremely unstable.
For the sake of her health, Qin Yingyue did not really want her to go.
However, looking at her in this state, she could not bear to reject her.
At the thought of this, Qin Yingyue called the bodyguards behind her over and asked them to prepare the helicopter to go to the ind that they had visited the day before.
Qin Yingyue did not know why Ji Qingyan was so obsessed with that ce, but since she said she wanted to go, she would apany her.
Soon, the helicopter was ready.
Ji Qingyan, Qin Yingyue, and the eight bodyguards boarded the helicopter and set off toward the blue sea.
The propeller of the helicopter hummed, but the two people onboard did not say a word.
If it was in the past, Ji Qingyan would definitely be talking non-stop as she sat beside Qin Yingyue.
Even if there were no more topics to talk about, she couldnt let the atmosphere turn cold. After all, she was her future mother-inw, so she had to build a good rtionship with her.
However, ever since she boarded the chopper, her gaze had been fixed on the distant horizon and coastline.
Memories were like waves on the surface of the sea, always being stirred up inadvertently.
In the past, that memory was beautiful, but now, it was like sharp knives stabbing into her heart.
This was her way of healing herself. If she could survive it, she could slowly ept this reality.
Qin Yingyues heart ached when she saw Ji Qingyans deste expression and her slender body.
There were countless times when she wanted to tell Ji Qingyan that Lin Yi was not dead.
But she didnt know how to start.
Ji Qingyan already knew about the matter between him and Liang Ruoxu.
If she knew that her son wasnt dead, then their rtionship would enter a semi-different state again.
As a mother, she did not want to see such a thing happen.
Humans were selfish animals. Even Qin Yingyue could not help but be cruel.
Whether it was Ji Qingyan or Liang Ruoxu, she did not want to give either of them up.
She was also looking for a way to bnce the two women, but she had yet to find one.
Qingyan, listen to Aunties advice. Weve already been here once yesterday. Theres no need for us toe again today.
Auntie, dont worry. Im just going to visit it. Itll be fine. Ji Qingyan forced a smile, indicating for Qin Yingyue not to worry.
Sigh
Qin Yingyue sighed secretly. She did not know what to do.
About an hourter, the three helicoptersnded on the ind.
Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue got off the ne one after another.
The eight bodyguards apanying them alighted from the two helicopters behind to protect Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue.
After alighting from the ne, Ji Qingyan stood rooted to the ground and surveyed her surroundings.
Behind him was the sound of the waves rolling and the rustling of the coconut trees.
It was as if the scene here had not changed from the day he passed away.
The only thing that changed was that the person apanying her had disappeared.
He didnt even give her a chance to hate him.
Ji Qingyan did not move at all. It was as if she wanted to seal every de of grass and tree in her memory before she left.
She paused for a full ten minutes before slowly making her way to the vi ahead.
Without colorful phoenix wings, but with hearts that understood each others thoughts.
At this moment, Ji Qingyan felt the same as Lin Yi did yesterday.
Even though she came to say goodbye, those overwhelming memories surged like a tsunami, consuming her seemingly hardened heart.
Just thinking about how she would never see him again, and how the emotions in her heart would have no one to confide in, made her heart ache as if it were being cut by a knife.
Tears uncontrobly streamed down her face.
Gently, Qin Yingyue handed her a tissue, which Ji Qingyan took and used to wipe her tears.
She then gathered her thoughts and prepared to move forward again.
Walking slowly to the door, Qin Yingyue and the apanying bodyguards stayed outside.
When Ji Qingyan first came here yesterday, she didnt let anyone else enter.
Qin Yingyue wasnt upset. At this point, Ji Qingyans happiness was the most important thing.
Ji Qingyan entered the vi by scanning her fingerprint. Memories here had turned yellow with age, exuding a sense of nostalgia.
Looking around, she could still remember the scenery in the vi.
She still remembered how Lin Yi looked when he was cooking in the kitchen that day. She still remembered how they had a candlelight dinner together.
After dinner, the two of them went to the beach to look at the stars. They talked a lot at night and then fell asleep in each others arms
Ji Qingyan suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her expression froze in an instant.
She was surprised to find that the photo frame she had ced on the sofa cab was gone!
She clearly remembered that when she came the day before, she had ced the photo frame there. When she left, she even took a look at it. Why did the photo frame disappear in just one night?!
All of a sudden, Ji Qingyans heart raced.
With quick steps, she ran towards the sofa!
The photo frame did not fall to the ground. There was nothing around.
How, how could it be gone
At the thought of this, Ji Qingyan sprawled on the floor, trying to see if she had fallen into the gap between the sofas.
However, after checking, she did not find anything.
Following that, she rushed up to the second floor and checked every room.
Helplessly, she did not find anything. Furthermore, there were no signs of the room being searched.
Other than the photo frame, nothing seemed to have changed in the vi except for the photo frame.
Ji Qingyans expression changed as she found this matter unbelievable.
This was an isted ind out at sea. Other than furniture, there was nothing valuable in the house. There was no way this could be a robbery.
Other than that, only he and Lin Yi could open the door lock. No one else could enter!
So how did the photo frame disappear?
At the thought of this, Ji Qingyan hurriedly walked out. Qin Yingyue, who was standing outside, noticed that something was wrong with her and immediately went forward to ask.
Whats wrong? Did something happen?
Ji Qingyan looked at Qin Yingyue nkly.
The thing I left behind in the vi is missing
Chapter 1876: The Flame of Hope
Chapter 1876: The me of Hope
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Somethings missing?
Qin Yingyue was exceptionally surprised. She had stayed in Doora a lot and knew the situation here very well.
A private ind was a very private ce. Other than the owner, basically no one woulde here.
Firstly, if one came here without a past, it would be ssified as burry.
There were considerable penalties under localw, with the heaviest sentence being more than ten years in prison.
Secondly, rich people bought this ce to serve as their entertainment venue. They would not stay here permanently, nor would they leave precious belongings here. Thieves would not patronize this ce either.
Moreover, the cost of taking a helicopter here was very high. Thieves would not do such a thing.
Theres a photo frame inside with a picture of us. When I went in earlier, I found that the photo was gone, but nothing else in the house had been disturbed. It was just the photo frame that was missing.
Qin Yingyue was initially taken aback, but then her expression turned calm.
She nced at the vi with a peculiar look in her eyes.
The only people who can open the vi door are you and my son, right?
Ji Qingyan nodded in confirmation.
Madam, shall we check if someone might have entered from somewhere else?Pone of the bodyguards suggested.
Alright.
Six of the eight bodyguards ran in different directions around the vi, while the remaining two stayed to protect Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue.
About ten minutester, the six bodyguards returned, shaking their heads.
The windows show no signs of being tampered with, and they are all locked from the inside. Its impossible for someone to have forced their way in.
Upon hearing this, both Ji Qingyan and Qin Yingyue were puzzled, finding the situation rather strange.
Could he havee back?
Qin Yingyue murmured to herself, thinking this seemed to be the only exnation.
Given the design of the door lock, only someone with the correct password or fingerprint could enter.
No one else could have entered the vi this way.
I know what to do. Lets check the surveince footage! Ji Qingyan said.
If someone has been here, well find out!
Ji Qingyan didnt believe that Lin Yi might have survived ande here.
She just didnt want to lose the photo frame, which held memories of them together.
At this moment, she was determined to find the person who had taken it.
Then, she would take the photo frame back!
Lets go. Ill take you there.
The private inds property management agency was set up in the city center of Doora.
After asking around, Qin Yingyue brought the group here.
After exining the situation, the property management agency cooperated and found the surveince video.
Then, the two of them found out in the video that a helicopter hadnded on the tarmac of the ind at eight oclock the previous night.
A tall man wearing a mask and a cap alighted from the ne and slowly walked towards the vi.
Well
Ji Qingyan cried out in surprise as her eyes reddened slightly.
The figures back in the video was too familiar. It was exactly the same as Lin Yi.
The two of them had been together for more than two years, and she had watched Lin Yi leave countless times.
It could even be said that it was a back that she would never forget.
But soon, Ji Qingyans tumultuous emotions calmed down. She knew that she was overthinking things and was just missing him.
Something had already happened to him. It was impossible for that person to be him. It was just that the shape of his back looked a little simr.
However, Qin Yingyue did not think so.
Although she hadnt been with Lin Yi for long, her instincts told her that the man who got off the helicopter was her son!
This was a mothers intuition!
However, Qin Yingyue did not intend to say anything at this moment. The person who started it had to be the one to undo it.
It was better to leave the matter between her son and Ji Qingyan to him.
After that, Qin Yingyue got the staff to speed up the video.
Then the two of them saw the man in the mask and hat enter his fingerprints into the lock and open the door easily.
Ji Qingyans eyes widened, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.
That ind belonged to him and Lin Yi. Only their fingerprints could open the door.
And the man in the video was actually able to unlock the door with his fingerprint. This made Ji Qingyan unable to calm down.
Unfortunately, the cameras on the ind were only installed on the periphery. There was no way to know what was going on inside the vi.
Through the elerated video, they realized that half an hourter, the man walked out of the vi and left the ind in a helicopter.
At this point, the entire ind returned to quiet as if nothing had happened. Ladies, we can now confirm that someone broke onto your ind. This has vited the localw. We will contact the police to deal with this matter, the property management said.
No, not yet!
After Ji Qingyan finished speaking, she and Qin Yingyue stood at the side. Due to her agitation, she was so nervous that she swallowed their saliva.
Auntie, do you think its possible that Lin Yi didnt die and is now out on a mission?
Qin Yingyue did not expect Ji Qingyans insight to be so strong to be able to guess this.
Thats unlikely. If thats the case, he wouldnt it from us.
Qin Yingyue still didnt tell the whole truth, believing that this situation should resolve itself naturally.
Despite her spections, Ji Qingyan was not entirely certain.
It was like a small me; if someone added fuel, it could ze brightly.
However, if someone poured water, it could be extinguished in an instant.
Qin Yingyue was the one pouring water right now.
It could be a thief, one of Qin Yingyues bodyguards suggested.
These fingerprint locks look advanced but arent very high-tech. Its quite easy to fake a fingerprint to get in.
The bodyguard wasnt trying to cover for Qin Yingyue, he was merely expressing his thoughts based on past experiences.
They had encountered simr situations many times before.
Moreover, there were people in their organization capable of such feats.
I must have overthought it.
Ji Qingyans eyes were downcast.
She knew her guess was ridiculous. Even if Lin Yi was on a mission, someone would have known.
Besides, she had seen him in the hospital. People might lie, but machines did not.
She had let her imagination run wild.
Listen to Aunties advice and stop worrying about it. Dont leave today. Rest another night, and if you still want to go, we can discuss it tomorrow.
Okay.
Under Qin Yingyues persuasion, the two of them returned to the Antis Hotel. However, Ji Qingyans gaze remained fixed on the direction of the sea.
She was hoping that a silhouette would appear on the distant horizon.

Lin Yi, who was on the ne, did not know what had happened in Doora.
He felt that Ji Qingyan should have left, but he never thought that she would still be there.
Three hourster, the nended in Mogash, the capital of Somal.
After the nended, the expressions of the people from Team 1 were a little unnatural, even Lin Yi.
They knew that this ce was very chaotic, but the situation in front of them was still a little unexpected.
Even as the capital, Mogash seldom featured buildings taller than ten stories. Most structures were small, two or three-story buildings, many of which were partially destroyed.
The vehicles on the streets were mostly vans or pickup trucks, with sedans and SUVs being a rare sight.
Bicycles, however, have be the main mode of transportation.
The scene made everyone feel like they were stepping back into the 1980s.
Brother Lin, are you sure this is the capital city?
Although they were all affluent, their travels had been to famous tourist cities around the world.
No one would choose toe to Somal since visiting here was more akin to an adventure than a vacation.
Ive never been to a ce like this either. It does look a bit rundown, Lin Yi replied.
Its actually quite good, Qiu Yuluo said.
I came here three years ago, and back then, Mogash was in worse shape. The current scene is already considered an improvement, indicating that the economy might be starting to recover.
Lin Yi frowned, Is this what economic recovery looks like?
You should ask him, he probably knows more, Qiu Yuluo said, ncing at Songjinmin.
Song Jinmin lit a cigarette.
Its partly my fault. Otherwise, Mogadishu might look a bit more impressive. What do you mean?
Songjinmin pointed southwest.
Do you see those two half-destroyed buildings over there?
Everyone turned to look. They look like theyve been in that state for years. Songjinmin nodded. I had a mission here years ago, and I blew up those buildings.
Everyone,
Its no big deal, just two buildings, Songjinmin said with augh.
We were quite humane, actually. We only targeted the buildings and never hit the locals. At that time, we only identally killed one old man, which was pretty humane by our standards.
Xiao Bing and the others secretly curled their lips.
Where did this guye from?
He actually came here to bomb them?
Alright, alright. Lets not talk about this for now. Songjinminughed and said.
The gathering point of ck Snake is in Baraw, Somal. Thats our current destination.
Its about 100 kilometers away. Lets find a ce to rent a few cars and drive there.
Then, under Song Jinmins lead, everyone walked out of the airport.
Walking on the street, Lin Yi and the others instantly became the focus of the locals.
It was as if they had seen something strange. Be it adults or children, they subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at the few of them.
Children were like this because they were curious. Adults were like this because they had discovered prey that they could hunt.
In the eyes of the locals, Huaxians were the perfect target for robbery.
They often had a lot of money on them, but they did not have the ability to protect themselves.
If there were Huaxians running around in the local area, they would definitely be robbed in less than half an hour.
The reason why no one came to rob them after a long time was because there were too many people around. No one dared to make a move in broad daylight. However, some bold people had already begun to secretly contact their friends, preparing to attack Lin Yi and the others.
Song Jinmin was not exaggerating when he said that this was an uwful ce.
After all, this was Somal, a ce where pirates were prevalent. What was even more abnormal was that pirates had already be a thriving business in this ce. It was a huge industrial chain with extremely regional characteristics.
When Lin Yi went on a business trip to the northeast, someone told him that every family had a few rtives who had frozen to death.
It was the same in Somalia, where each family basically had a few rtives who were pirates.
I have a bad feeling about this, Xiao Bing said.
I keep feeling like they might rob us.
Be confident. Forget the might; they are definitely going to rob us, Song
Jinmin said, his cigarette dangling from his lips.
Encountering these people is actually more troublesome than encountering pirates.
Xiao Bing looked around. Why do you say that? They seem like locals. Could they be more vicious than pirates?
Youve probably been brainwashed by movies, Song Jinmin exined.
Real-life pirates arent like what you imagine. While they do target merchant ships, they have their own principles. They wont kill unless provoked, especially not women, children, or the elderly. And they definitely wouldntmit sexual assault. Theyd be punished if they did.
Really? Are they that disciplined?
Absolutely. Modern pirates have a strong professional ethic. Dont underestimate them, Songjinmin said, flicking his cigarette ash and ncing at the menacing locals around them.
Thats why I say its more dangerous to encounter ordinary people here. These locals have no principles. They wont just rob you. If they see women, theyll have other intentions. This is why the security industry thrives here and is a primary source of ie for many families. Its almost a local custom.
LinYi,
It was really true that the ce nourishes the person. This kind ofwlessness bing a local custom was something he couldnt fathom.
Alright, you just needed to understand the general idea. Song Jinmin said,
Lets get down to business first. Theres nothing in this Peking ce. I really dont want to stay here.
Lets go.
Even though the surrounding people were eyeing them covetously, they were not afraid at all.
If someone dared toe up and rob them, they would just kill them. It was a simple matter.
Then, under Song Jinmins lead, the group arrived at arge warehouse.
From the outside, it looked a little shabby, as if it had not been lived in for many years.
However, they learned from Song Jinmin that a house like this was considered very good to the locals.
Besides that, there were about twenty cars parked in the yard, mostly vans, pickups, and a few Coaster models.
The exteriors of the cars were rusted, some without windows, and the sides were dented and uneven. If these cars were in Huaxia, they would be considered scrap.
Didnt you say we were going to rent cars? Why are we here? Lin Yi asked.
This is the rental ce, Songjinmin replied.
Are you serious? Lin Yi pointed at a few cars nearby.
They look like theyre ready for the junkyard. Are you sure they can even run?
The exteriors might be a bit rough, but they can still drive.
Your only requirement for a car is that it can drive?
What else? Were you nning to have a romantic moment in one of these?
Wanna gift the story? Try one

Chapter 1878: Enough Acting, Im the Ace of Spades
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Uh Alright, Ill leave this to you.
Seeing Lin Yi and the others enter, the few people standing at the entrance of
the warehouse walked over.
Are you here to rent a car?
Song Jinmin pointed at three pickup trucks not far away. Were going to rent
three.
The daily rent is $20, but you have to pay a deposit of $3,000 for the three cars. The daily rent will be deducted from the deposit. Do you have any problems with that?
Lin Yi looked at the three cars that Song Jinmin picked and felt that they werent worth three thousand dors.
These people were quite greedy.
In reality, they were trying to scam them for no other reason than the fact that
Lin Yi and the others had Terran faces.
If a Caucasian or ck person came here, the price would be cut in half.
No problem.
Song Jinmin didnt haggle and nced at Lin Yi.
Pay up.
Lin Yi didnt dawdle over such a small matter.
To him, money was just a number. Inparison, time was more valuable. Lin Yi handed over $3,000. The other party was very straightforward and handed the three keys to Lin Yi. Then, he asked,
Where are you going with the cars?
Baraw.
The rental car owners expression changed. The people around him also looked
a little unnatural.
Thats a very dangerous ce. If you go there like this, it will definitely be dangerous. You might not even be able toe back, the car rental boss said seriously.
And then, what are you trying to say?
We have professionals here who can provide you with security and escort you
to Baraw. The car rental boss said,
And the price is also very cheap. There are so many of you, and we will only charge you $1,500 a day to guarantee your safety. What do you think?
The few of them did not say anything. They felt that it was a little funny.
If they still needed protection in such a ce, they would not be worthy of entering the Central Guards Brigade.
Theres no need for security services, just guarantee that the car is good.
There are no issues with it, but you have to be clear about one thing. Baraw is the most dangerous ce in Somal. I can guarantee that if theres no one to protect you, itll be very difficult for you to return from there alive. If you think the price is too expensive, we can discuss it. Theres no need to riskyour lives.
Forget it, theres no need.
Lin Yi waved the car keys in his hand. Lets go.
Lin Yi distributed the three sets of keys. Song Jinmin was the most skilled, so he
was responsible for leading three people.
Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo formed a team and took two people.
The remaining members, Xiao Bing and Zhang Chaoyue, were with Lin Yi in
one vehicle.
After assigning the vehicles, Song Jinmin led the convoy, with the other two cars following behind as they left the rental ce.
Watching Lin Yi and his group leave, a skinny ck man spoke up.
Boss, they seem wealthy. We cant just let them go.
The rental boss lit a cigar. Dont worry, I wont miss this opportunity.
Taking out his phone, the rental boss spoke into it.
Guys, we have a job. Get together quickly. Today, we will hit the jackpot!
After the rental car left, Song Jinmin did not bring his men to Baraw. Instead, he went to a slum and asked the others to get out of the car.
The scene in front of them refreshed Team 1s worldview again.
They had seen poor people before, but they had never seen people so poor. Back then, Lin Yi had been to the Cullen District of Panama, thergest slum there.
However,pared to the slums in front of them, Cullen District was at least a hundred times better.
It was heaven on earth.
Although they were both slums, the two were very different.
Cullen was a ce where the truly poor lived, but this area was different. It was protected by local armed forces.
In other words, there were no ordinary people here.
Even if there were, they were involved in shady activities.
Arent ck Snakes people in Baraw? Why are we here? Ning Che asked.
Well, theyre ranked 16th on the cklist. Itd be disrespectful to go empty- handed, Song Jinmin replied.
We need to prepare a bit.
Everyone,
Your tone itself is already pretty disrespectful.
Lin Yi stood by silently, unsure of what Song Jinmins n was.
He had supposedly prepared everything, so why were they here to buy weapons?
Before they could proceed further, they saw two ck men emerge from an alley, armed and watching Song Jinmin and the others warily.
Song Jinmin remained calm, taking out a pack of cigarettes and tossing them to the two men.
Rx, were here to buy some stuff. Bring out Hassan.
The two men looked nervous, eyeing Song Jinmin and the group cautiously.
We need to do a full-body search.
If its a man, you can search him. If its a woman, forget it.
Song Jinmin was friendly and did not say anything else.
The two ck men looked at Qiu Yuluo, Ning Che, and the others for a long
time before saying righteously,
No, ording to the rules, anyone whoes to here must be searched.
Snap.
Song Jinmin lit a cigarette. Take it easy, just ept the respect Im showing you.
The expressions of the two guards changed, and they pointed their guns at
Song Jinmin!
If you dont submit to a search, leave immediately, or well shoot! With the cigarette in his mouth, Song Jinmin raised his hands. No need to get so worked up. Its just a body search. Go ahead.
The two guards approached Song Jinmin to search him with their guns drawn.
Click!
Suddenly, Song Jinmin moved, grabbing one guards arm and forcibly twisting it back.
The sound of bones breaking was enough to make anyone wince in pain!
Dont move!
As the other guard was about to fire, Song Jinmin seized hispanions gun and aimed it at his head!
The sudden turn of events caused chaos in the slum.
From various directions, about twenty armed men rushed over, surrounding Song Jinmin and the group.
At the same time, a man in camouge emerged from the crowd. He wore a hat and a scarf that covered his face, leaving only his eyes visible.
Who are you?!
The leader did not attack directly. His powerful instincts and past experience told him that these Terran faces in front of him seemed to be quite skilled.
They didnt seem to be people he could provoke. It was better to be careful. Song Jinmin took a deep puff of his cigarette and extinguished it.
Look at themotion. I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but you were so aggressive. This was too disappointing.
Song Jinmin searched his pocket and took out an armband. Enough acting. Im the Ace of Spades.
LinYi,
Youre just trying to show off!
Chapter 1879: Blow Them All Up
Chapter 1879: Blow Them All Up
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
As he spoke, Song Jinmin threw his armband over, which was caught by the leader.
The moment he saw the armband, the leaders eyes widened as he shouted,
Put the guns down, all of you!
More than 20 people lowered their guns. The leader of the group walked towards Song Jinmin.
You dont have to be searched. Tell me what you want to buy. As long as we have something, we can provide it to you.
Wheres your leader, Hassan? We want to buy a lot of things. Can you make the decision on his behalf?
The leader isnt here. Ill be in charge here for the time being.
Alright then. Song Jinmin stubbed out his cigarette. We need some weapons.
Bring us over to look.
Alright, please follow me.
Everyone got into the car again. After driving for more than ten minutes, they arrived at arge underground warehouse.
Almost all of the more advanced weapons on the market could be found here.
There were even rockets and mortars.
Choose something suitable. Its best to prepare more. We might need to use itter, Song Jinmin said.
Over the next hour, Lin Yi and the others didnt stay idle and chose many
things.
Song Jinmin picked out two suitable handguns for self-defense.
Once everyone had selected their weapons, they loaded everything onto the trucks, filling the beds of the pickups. The total cost was several hundred thousand dors.
With their preparationsplete, the group began their journey to Baraw.
A few minutester, they drove out of the city.
However, they did not travel fast. When the truck went over 70 miles per hour,
it made strange noises, frustrating Lin Yi.
They drove slowly for over half an hour.
They passed throughndscapes of yellow sand and sparse greenery, which
gave the ce a deste and remote feeling.
Ring, ring, ring!
As they were leisurely heading towards Baraw, Lin Yis phone rang.
Brother Lin, Sister Ning is calling, said Zhang Chaoyue, who was sitting in
the passenger seat.
You answer it and see what she needs.
Zhang Chaoyue nodded and answered the call.
Sister Ning, whats up? Brother Lin is driving.
Tell him to slow down. It looks like were being followed.
Being followed?
Since their car was in the middle, Lin Yi hadnt paid much attention to anything else.
He adjusted his position, moving to the right side of the road, and saw that there were indeed a few cars behind them, seemingly following them.
Given that they hadnt encountered any other vehicles along the way, the sudden appearance of these cars was suspicious.
Interesting. Someone is actually volunteering to be our practice targets. Looks like they want to give us some warm-up before the main action, Lin Yi mused.
After muttering to himself, Lin Yi said into the phone,
Tell Song Jinmin to slow down and see whats going on behind.
This was Somal, an uwful ce. If they didnt stop the car quickly, the
people behind might shoot.
Therefore, it was impossible to shake them off. They could only stop the car to solve the problem.
Got it.
Ning Che hung up, and Lin Yi slowed down.
But we didnt provoke anyone when we came here. Why would someone follow us? Xiao Bing was puzzled.
You guys can analyze this problem yourselves. You cant expect me to solve everything, right? LinYi said.
After being scolded by LinYi, Xiao Bing didnt show any emotions. She was indeed a little dependent on LinYi.
As a member of the Central Guards Brigade, this was not a good thing.
Its the owner of the rental car! Zhang Chaoyue said.
You reacted pretty quickly, Lin Yi said with a smile, then put down the
handbrake. Lets go, lets get out of the car and take a look.
At this moment, all three cars stopped, and the people in the cars got out one after another.
The three cars behind them also stopped. More than ten people got out of the cars. All of them were armed and looked very intimidating.
The person in the lead was the car rental boss.
What do you mean by this? Lin Yi said lightly.
We just want money, so dont be afraid, said the car rental owner.
Hand over all your money and we wont do anything.
Thats a little too much. LinYi said.
I spent 3,000 USD to rent a car from you, and you actually came to rob me?
Youre a bit greedy.
when you rented the car, I reminded you that the journey was dangerous. I asked you to hire bodyguards, but you didnt listen to me. There was nothing I could do. You were the perfect targets.
Ill ept it if we were robbed by someone else, but youre just a rental car salesman. How dare youe and rob us? This is really emascting. Lin Yi smiled.
Theres nothing esmascting about it, said the car-rental owner.
Because in addition to my car rental business, Im also the head of a securitypany. Of course, in addition to protecting our employers, we also rob ordinary people who dont have security. Unfortunately, we had our eye on you.
Dont say that. Its still not certain whos the unlucky one.
What do you mean? The rental car owner looked puzzled.
Dont worry, youll find out soon enough.
Lin Yi tilted his head and looked at Yu Siying and the others.
There are a total of fourteen of them. Can you guys handle them?
The members of Team 1 looked at each other. Itll take about five seconds.
Then lets finish the battle in four seconds.
Well do our best. Go!
Yu Siying shouted in a low voice. The seven members of Team 1 rushed forward almost at the same time!
Just now, they had caught the other party off guard. In less than two seconds, they had knocked down seven of them!
F*ck, how dare you?! Shoot!
Realizing that something was amiss, the remaining men took action and picked up the guns slung over their shoulders!
However, they were still a step toote.
As soon as they took their guns out, Team is second round of attacks followed!
They knocked down the remaining seven people!
Qiu Yuluo checked the time. It hadsted about four seconds.
Lin Yi walked over with a smile and looked down at the car rental boss. Didnt you want to rob us? Are you still going to rob us now?
No, no, no. This is our fault. Please dont kill me. We just wanted to get some money to spend. We didnt mean to do anything else.
Then why arent you getting lost?
Lets get out of here right now.
The rental car owner and hispanion climbed into the car in fear, preparing to escape from these terrifying Terrans.
Hey, hey, hey, you girls, stop looking. Take this.
Listening to Song Jinmins voice, LinYi and the others turned around and saw him holding a shoulder-mounted rocketuncher in his hand. He called out to Yu Siying, Xiao Bing, and Luo Qi.
Whats do you mean? Xiao Bing asked subconsciously.
Song Jinmin pointed at the fleeing car rental owner in the distance. Take this and blow them all up.
Chapter 1880: The Unscrupulous Person
Chapter 1880: The Unscrupulous Person
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Blow up
Not to mention Team 1, even Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were a little surprised by
Song Jinminswords.
In their opinion, it was fine as long as they taught these people a lesson and they did note looking for trouble in the future.
They did not expect this guy to want to blow the other party up.
I didnt ask you toe here for a vacation. You have to know what youre here for and have a clear understanding of your position.
Song Jinmin handed three mortars to the three of them and said slowly, Ordinary people are Huaxias pride. You are Huaxias spies, or rather, shadows. In this world, someone has to do the dirty work.
Song Jinmin held the cigarette between his fingers and pointed at the car that was driving into the distance. Lets do it now. Theyll be too far away if we keep dwaddling.
Got it.
The others stood to one side as the three women took up their mortars and began to aim and fire.
As the leader of the Central Guards Brigade, Lu Beichen knew the situation in the world like the back of his hand. He also knew what kind of organization ck Snake was and had absolute confidence in Lin Yi.
However, Lin Yi alone could not make Lu Beichen agree to this mission. However, in the end, the reason why he agreed and even encouraged it was because Song Jinmin was by his side.
With this person as a backer, there wouldnt be any problems with this mission.
This would even allow the team to tacitly learn more from him.
This was because there were some things that he could not teach. Song Jinmin was more suitable for doing this.
Just like right now!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The three shells drew three arches in the air and uratelynded on the three vehicles.
In an instant, mes soared into the sky in the distance, and thick smoke rose.
The three women heaved a sigh of relief, as if they were trying to calm themselves down.
This was the first time they had done such a thing.
Lets go.
Song Jinmin waved his hand, and everyone got into the car and continued to move towards Baraw.
Bingbing, what did you feel just now?
In the car, Zhang Chao said excitedly.
Xiao Bing took a deep breath. I feel like I wasnt a member of the Central
Guards Brigade the moment I fired.
What do you mean?
I felt like a fearless bandit who killed whoever I wanted.
No way? What kind of feeling is that? Zhang Chao Yue didnt understand. Actually, thats what Song Jinmin meant, Lin Yi said.
Although were all members of the Central Guards Brigade, we cant treat ourselves as pure good-hearted people.
Then what should we treat ourselves as? Xiao Bing probed.
People who would do anything to achieve their goal. The two of them fell silent and seriously thought about Lin Yis words. At this moment, they seemed to have a clearer view of themselves. After more than half an hour of driving, they arrived at Baraw.
However, after arriving here, everyone realized that this ce was even more deste than they had imagined.
Broken houses could be seen everywhere. The streets were filled with dust, and barefoot children were staring at the three cars driving in with innocent and curious eyes. They held the bread in their hands tightly with their mouths agape.
So this is Baraw
Looking at the devastated city in front of her, Yu Siying sighed.
The others in Team 1 were the same. At this moment, they saw the other side of the world.
Song Jinmin nodded. The situation ten years ago was a little better than it is now, but over the past few years, it has been getting worse.
Although ck Snakes people are despicable, there are still innocent poor people here. God is too unfair to these people, Xiao Bing said.
Heh
Song Jinmin chuckled, We strive to get rich and powerful to break the rules, dont we? Just like you guys-when you visit a hospital, do you follow the rules and wait in line?
His words hit home for everyone.
Coming from wealthy and influential families, they had often bent the rules without even realizing it.
This is fate, Song Jinmin said, pointing to the people on the street. Dont be fooled by the bread in their hands. In a moment, they could be holding submachine guns, feeding us bullets. Everyone fell silent, acknowledging the truth in Song Jinmins words. Youve spent too much time in Huaxia, developing a false sense of security. Life isnt as valuable as you think.
Alright, enough with the philosophical talk, Lin Yi said.
Were here. Lets focus on the task. Wheres ck Snakes stronghold?
Follow me.
Song Jinmin gathered everyone together, pulled out a map, and pointed to a circr mark on it.
This is the topographic map of Baraw. The location marked is ck Snakes stronghold.
The person in charge is called Fosse. Killing him will serve as revenge for the death of ourrade.
Since the target is clear, lets do it now, Qiu Yuluo said.
Dont be anxious. Song Jinmin said.
Your goal is not to go to their headquarters, but to get themunication band.
Communication band? Qiu Yuluo asked.
You want to talk to them?
Song Jinmin nodded. Youre all skilled fighters, but were outnumbered. Even with weapons, charging in would turn us into Swiss cheese.
Arent youing with us? Xiao Bing asked.
Im A-ss, but I cant dodge bullets, Song Jinmin replied.
So you need to capture one of their men, get the encryptedmunication band, and leave the rest to me.
He pointed to a spot on the map. Start from the southwest. Theres a small outpost guarded by a squad leader. Capture him, take themunication band, and your job is done.
Got it, Lin Yi said, then turned to the others to organize their gear and prepare for the mission.
Ten minutester, the group of ten was ready and began infiltrating ck Snakes outpost from the southwest.
The distance was less than three kilometers, not too challenging for them. The first kilometer was rtively easy to reach as it was on the outskirts of the city, with minimal obstacles.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Yi and the others didnt reveal their identities when they encountered people along the way.
If there was a firefight at this time, his whereabouts would be quickly exposed. He had to be careful.
F*ck, I really want to kill these people! Sui Qiang cursed angrily.
Seeing ck Snakes uniform, everyone remembered what happened in Panein. Endless hatred and anger burned in their hearts.
Calm down, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
Now is not the time for revenge. Otherwise, the Panem incident might repeat itself. After we find themunication band, it will be time for us to take revenge.
Chapter 1881: Going Deep into the Hinterland
Chapter 1881: Going Deep into the Hintend
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Lin Yi took the map and looked around.
From here on out, well split up. Ill bring Xiao Bing, Zhang Chao, Zhao Yunhu in one team. Ning Che, youll bring Sui Qiang and Luo Qi. Yu Luo, youll bring Yu Siying and Shao Jianfeng. Well split into three groups and keep in touch at all times. Otherwise, well be too big of a target and itll be inconvenient to
move around.
Good!
After Lin Yi arranged them, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che left with their teams, while he led the remaining three forward.
The sky gradually darkened, making it easier for Lin Yi and the others to move about.
After more than an hour, the four of them had traveled about a kilometer.
Along the way, Lin Yi met a total of three groups of people.
However, they carefully avoided each group. There was no direct exchange of
fire.
In this way, they perfectly avoided ck Snakes attention.
Thest kilometer to the outpost had only one narrow path.
At the end of it, three ck Snake members stood guard, watching in different directions, ready for any potential intruders.
ording to the map, they were deep in enemy territory.
The defenses had be increasingly tight.
Brother Lin, it looks like we cant avoid a confrontation this time, Xiao Bing
said.
If we dont take these guys out, it will be hard to move forward.
Lin Yi surveyed the surroundings. Ill act as a decoy while you guys sneak past and capture one of them. Find out their encryptedmunication frequency. If they dont know, handle it quickly and quietly, but dont use guns.
The missions goal was to obtain ck Snakesmunication frequency, not
tounch an all-out attack.
Taking advantage of any opportunity would minimize the risks.
Understood.
Lin Yi crouched and, taking advantage of the moment when the three guards were not looking, rolled across to the other side of the street.
Meanwhile, Xiao Bing and the others carefully moved toward the end of the street, getting within ten meters of the ck Snake members.
Once everything was set, Lin Yi threw a stone, shattering a car window and creating a loud noise.
The sudden sound put the three ck Snake members on high alert.
They raised their weapons, aiming in the direction of the noise.
Huck, go see whats going on.
The man in the ck sunsses nodded and walked in the direction of the sound with his gun.
They could tell from his steps that he wasnt too worried. It was as if he was shopping. He was calm andposed.
in their opinion, this was their stronghold. No one dared to cause trouble here.
Huck walked to the street where Lin Yi was hiding. Out of habit, he picked up
his weapon and prepared to check the situation.
A few secondster, he walked to the front of the car and realized that the window had been smashed. He couldnt help but feel suspicious.
It didnt seem to be an ident, but more like it had been destroyed by
someone.
At this moment, Lin Yi darted out!
Huck reacted quickly and turned around, but he was a step toote.
Just as he was about to shout, Lin Yi covered his mouth!
Lin Yis other hand grabbed the other partys throat and twisted it!
After killing the other party, Lin Yi hid the corpse under the car to avoid it being discovered.
At the same time, the two people guarding the end of the road realized that something was wrong.
Whats wrong? Why isnt Huck back yet?
Its indeed a little strange. Lets go over and check.
After some discussion, the two of them walked towards Lin Yi.
Compared to Huck, the two of them looked much more serious. They were not careless. They were very careful and moved very slowly.
From this, one could see how well-trained ck Snakes people were.
Could someone be here to take revenge on us? One of them whispered.
What do you mean by revenge?
Our operation at Chepopur failed. All the people involved were killed. Im afraid those people might havee knocking on our door.
Are you kidding me? This is our base. We have the advantageous terrain. Im confident that we can beat anyone whoes.
The other person thought about it and felt that what hispanion said made
sense.
There were more than 300 people in the central area of Baraw.
No one could take down this ce, no matter who the other party was.
At that moment, two of the guards suddenly felt a tight grip around their necks.
They were grabbed from behind by Zhang Chaoyue and Zhao Yunhu, who covered their mouths and quickly dragged them into the nearby rums.
Xiao Bing took out a tactical knife and ced it against one of the guards necks.
I need your encryptedmunication frequency. Dont make me repeat myself. Speak up.
The two guards shook their heads in fear, seemingly unaware of what the encryptedmunication frequency was.
Without hesitation, Xiao Bing stabbed one of them.
Are you going to speak?
Mmmphh!
The guard groaned in pain as blood trickled down his leg.
However, he couldnt utter a word due to the gag.
Inspired by Song Jinmins ruthless approach, Xiao Bing had be more decisive and ruthless.
She was starting to be like Lin Yi.
Mmmpf, mmmpf
The two guards continued to shake their heads, indicating they didnt know what they were talking about.
Finish them, Xiao Bing ordered.
Zhang Chaoyue and Zhao Yunhu acted immediately, leaving the guards no chance to escape.
After dealing with the guards, the three of them went to find Lin Yi and regrouped with him.
Howdid it go? Any leads? Lin Yi asked.
Xiao Bing shook his head. The encryptedmunication frequency must be sensitive information. They didnt know about it.
Lin Yi nodded. Lets go. Were moving towards the target.
This time, they sped up.
If the situation here was discovered, it would easily arouse the other party s suspicion. Therefore, they had to rush to the target location as soon as possible.
After dealing with the three of them, Lin Yi and the others took advantage of the night to continue moving towards their target.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
At this moment, a sound came from the walkie-talkie.
The defense here is very tight. Its very difficult to sneak in. Ning Che said.
Ive just discussed it with Yu Luo. Well use ourselves as bait to lure the enemys firepower. Your two teams will be in charge of offense.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi said in a deep voice,
You have to pay attention to your own safety. Dont let anything go wrong.
Understood. Be careful too.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yi heard gunshots in the distance. Ning Che had already started moving.
Take cover!
Ning Che had used herself as bait and caused such a hugemotion. ck Snake would definitely send people over. It was not a wise move to take action now.
Soon, shouts came from their surroundings. ck Snakes men had already started moving.
Over the next ten minutes, gunshots rang out frequently. Lin Yi sat still without moving, his fists clenched tightly, his heart almost in his throat.
Nothing could happen to her!
Chapter 1882: What Did Song Jinmin Prepare?
Chapter 1882: What Did Song Jinmin Prepare?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Brother Lin, why dont we go and help? Xiao Bing said.
ck Snakes members might have already rushed over.
Its even more dangerous to go over now. I believe Ning Che will be able to handle it well.
With that, Lin Yi raised his head and looked around. Its about time. Lets move!
Good!
The expressions of the four of them became determined. This was an opportunity that theirrades had risked their lives to create. They had to seize it!
Because the enemy had been drawn away, Lin Yis operation was abnormally smooth. He quickly advanced. After ten minutes, he was less than a hundred meters away from the ck Snakes base.
At the same time, the walkie-talkie in Lin Yis hand rang.
Qiu Yuluos voice came from it.
Were already at the stronghold. Hows the situation on your side?
Were here too. Hows your field of view? Can you see whats going on inside?
There are two people on the sentry post, but we dont know how many are inside. I estimate that there are no more than five, Qiu Yuluo said.
You have the numbers advantage, so youll have the upper hand. Ill provide cover and draw their fire. You take the opportunity to act, then retreat
You also need to stay safe. Any unexpected events will mean the mission fails.
Understood, I know what to do, Qiu Yuluo replied.
You guys keep moving forward. In five minutes, Ill take out the two sentries on the watchtower. The rest is up to you.
Got it!
After themunication ended, Lin Yi waved his hand and began sneaking towards the small two-story building ahead.
Their pace was extremely slow; it took over a minute to cover just a few meters. In this situation, any noise could be catastrophic.
Five minutester, Lin Yi and his team were within fifty meters of the target building.
At that moment, gunfire erupted, and the two sentries on the watchtower were killed instantly!
The sudden gunshots put everyone in the outpost on high alert. They raised their guns, cautiously scanning the surroundings.
But right then, Qiu Yuluo provided powerful covering fire, taking out anyone who dared to show themselves.
Move out!
With Lin Yis order, he brought the three of them and rushed to the second floor of the base.
The chaotic scene and the dark night became a natural cover for Lin Yi and the others.
Despite the huge searchlight, it was not a threat to them.
Ten secondster, the four of them rushed to the second floor.
Lin Yi held a scalpel in his hand and threw it out with one hand. It drew a cold light in the night and stabbed one of them in the throat.
When another guard realized the situation was dire, he immediately assumed a defensive stance. At that precise moment, a silenced bullet whizzed through the air, striking his forehead and ending his life.
Go!
Lin Yimanded, charging ahead with Xiao Bing in the middle, and Zhang Chaoyue and Zhao Yunhu providing cover. They effortlessly stormed into the outpost.
Dont move!
On the second-floor tform, five men armed with weapons surrounded a man in his forties, offering him full protection.
Take them out!
Lin Yi ordered, not giving the opponents any chance to speak. The team opened fire, killing four of the men within three seconds, leaving no time for a reaction.
Who are you people?
The sole survivor eximed.
Lin Yi didnt bother with a reply. He dashed forward and delivered a swift chop to the mans neck, knocking him unconscious.
Hoisting the man onto his shoulder, Lin Yi signaled the others to retreat. At the same time, Xiao Bing turned on the walkie-talkie. Team Leader Qiu, Team Leader Ning, retreat.
Roger that!
The city was in chaos, which facilitated the retreat.
Two hourster, the third team arrived at the agreed location and returned to Song Jinmins side.
Song Jinmin looked at his watch and nodded in satisfaction. They were half an hour earlier than he had imagined. Their level was not bad at all.
Get in the car!
Under Song Jinminsmand, everyone returned to the car and left Baraw silently.
Half an hourter, more than ten peoplepletely evacuated the dangerous area and got the chance to catch their breath.
The smoothness of the operation didnt indicate that ck Snake was weak.
It was simply because their target was to infiltrate one of the bases, which made the escape rtively easy.
The group brought their captive to the wilderness and woke him up.
Seeing the people around him, the leader of the ck Snake outpost trembled with fear.
Who are you people? What do you want?
Lin Yi patted his shoulder. Who I am doesnt matter. If you want to live, tell
me yourmunication frequency. I need to speak with Fosse.
The frequency is MHZ19357458.
Xiao Bing handed the radiomunication device to Lin Yi.
Brother Lin, its set up.
Is Fosse there? Tell him toe to the radio.
Lin Yi said into the radio.
Who are you?
Were here for revenge. As for what revenge, you know very well.
Youre from the Central Guard Brigade!
The other party was very smart and immediately guessed Lin Yis identity.
Because recently, their biggest operation was to encircle and suppress the Central Guards Brigade.
Youre not stupid, but I advise you to cooperate. If you resist, I cant guarantee what will happen.
I admit, your Central Guard Brigade is formidable, but dont underestimate
us.
Even though our leader isnt here, if you dare toe any closer, I guarantee none of you will leave alive.
Not here?
This news made Lin Yi frown, as if he was trying to determine if what the other party said was true.
But at this moment, Song Jinmin took the walkie-talkie.
I know you wont be honest, but if you change your mind, remember to contact us.
With that, Song Jinmin turned off the walkie-talkie.
Everyones gaze fell on him, not knowing what to do next.
It doesnt seem realistic to wait for them to contact us, Xiao Bing said.
Normal methods will fail, so we have to use some unconventional methods.
After saying that, Song Jinmin picked up his phone and called Garson.
Weve already seeded. You guys can start too.
After giving his instructions, Song Jinmin hung up the phone. Everyone looked
at each other, and Xiao Bing asked,
Did you bring the others here to attack ck Snakes headquarters?
Song Jinmin shook his head. The price of a surprise attack is too high. Its not worth it, so I thought of another solution.
Another solution?
Even Lin Yi didnt know what Song Jinmin was up to.
Don t worry, you 11 find out soon enough.
Seeing that Song Jinmin did not want to say anything, the others did not ask further. They stood on the spot and waited silently.
About half an hourter, everyone realized that the sky in the distance had turned bright. They were surprised.
What is that?
Rockets! Qiu Yuluo eximed!
Chapter 1883: A New Discovery
Chapter 1883: A New Discovery
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
F*ck!
Seeing this, even Lin Yi couldnt hold back.
You actually brought this stuff?
Of course, Song Jinmin replied matter-of-factly.
Ourbat effectiveness is mostly based on individual capabilities. If were talking aboutrge-scale firefights, eachbat unit is pretty much the same. Sending people in directly would result in heavy casualties. This way is more straightforward and safer.
But not everyone has ess to such things, right? Xiao Bing said.
Thats true. Weve been in the game for many years, not just fooling around, Song Jinmin said.
While we might not focus much on things outside the ind, we do have the basic equipment.
Lin Yi and the others were speechless, finding their methods excessively ruthless.
The most shocked, however, was the small leader they had captured.
Who were these people?
As they talked, several more rockets streaked across the sky, illuminating the endless night.
Lin Yi, Qiu Yuluo, and Ning Che remained calm, but the other members of their team experienced varying degrees of emotional turmoil.
The lights in the sky were less about illuminating the night and more like deaths spotlight.
Boom, boom, boom!
The rockets hit Baraw, creating violent explosions.
Even from over ten kilometers away, they could hear the sound of structures being obliterated.
Xiao Bing stood silently, finally understanding a harsh truth.
This world was always orchestrated by those in power, which is why unfairness persisted.
This was the fate of the weak.
The airstrike continued for over twenty minutes. Just then, themunicator crackled to life with the sound of static.
Stop! Well tell you everything you want to know!
Why didnt you just tell us earlier? We could save some money, Lin Yi said.
Our leader is in Qazar, not here. If you want to find him, you can go there.
I need his exact address.
Hes at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Qazar. You can find him there. Please, no more explosives!
That wont do. My brother died at your hands. Do you think Ill let you off easily? Lin Yi sneered.
You dont get to talk to me about morality in the martial arts world. You have to pay with your life for killing.
Died at our hands? The person on the other side was clearly stunned. Youre from the Central Guards Brigade!
Youre not stupid.
Fosse was the one who directed that incident. He even said that he would get the ore at all costs. I wasnt involved.
It doesnt matter to me whether you participate or not. My brother died at the hands of ck Snake. As long as youre a member of ck Snake, you deserve to die.
No, dont The other party eximed loudly.
I can give the ore to you as long if you spare my life.
Ore?
Hearing this news, even Song Jinmin was surprised, let alone Lin Yi.
ck Snakesbat strength was not bad, but they did not expect to find ores in such a ce.
How much in total?
About 100 grams.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. Thats enough to exchange for your life. Well cease fire now. Take the ore and go to the 19th km of Highway 213. Come alone, or youll still be killed.
Alright, alright, alright. I understand.
Lin Yi hung up the phone and looked at Song Jinmin. Tell your people to cease fire first.
ording to Lin Yis instructions, Song Jinmin called Gayson and told him to cease fire.
The starry sky was like a candle that had been extinguished. It was pitch-ck, and the wind from the mining industry blew, making it look lonely.
What do you think about this?
Its quite normal, Song Jinmin said.
ck Snake is quite capable. Having minerals isnt unusual, but hiding them here was unexpected.
Lets wait for them to arrive and see what happens, Lin Yi said. At least weve got some unexpected gains.
Despite the agreed meeting, Lin Yi and his team moved to a more concealed location.
They didnt want to be caught off guard if the enemy decided to bring reinforcements.
As for the small leader they had captured earlier, he had been dealt with.
Less than an hourter, a pickup truck approached from the end of the road.
Lin Yi stood on the car roof, scanning the area with binocrs. Once he was sure there were no hidden threats, he drove over.
You you must be from the Central Guard Brigade
The speaker was a tall, skinny man named Senar, with a long beard and a white turban. He didnt look like a ruthless viin.
In ck Snakes hierarchy, Fosse was the leader, while Senal was their strategist, staying behind the scenes to n and advise.
He had also been involved in the Panem incident, but he had lied over the phone to distance himself from the affair.
Lin Yi sized him up. Where is it?
In my car.
Senal nervously returned to the car, took out a ck box, and opened it. Inside was a crystal-clear stone the size of a mineral water bottle cap.
Lin Yi brought it to his nose and smelled it. Thick oxygen assaulted his face. It was undoubtedly a piece of Bass ore.
Ive given you what you want. I hope you can stop the bombing. Weve lost more than 100 people.
What is Fossi doing in Qazar? Lin Yi held the ore and asked in a low voice.
Well
Senal was stunned. He did not expect the person in front of him to be so persistent about Fosses movements. He was still not satisfied after obtaining the ore.
Dont waste each others time. You should know your current situation.
Senal shivered as if he had been doused with ice water.
He said he went to Qazar to go buy something. But I dont know what he went to buy.
Lin Yi stared into Senals eyes and realized that he wasnt lying.
He yed with the ore in his hand. Youre a famous organization on the cklist. Do you think its reasonable for you to have so little ore?
Senals expression was nervous as he said shakily,
We still have a two-kilo ore in our possession, but Fosse took it. Thats all we have left.
He took it!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone thought of the same thing in unison.
Fosse might have taken two kilograms of ore to make a deal with someone else!
Lin Yi took out a scalpel and pressed it against Senals neck.
Who made the deal with Fosse?!
Chapter 1884: A Complicated World
Chapter 1884: A Complicated World
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The cold temperature of the scalpel made Senal feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Fosse didnt tell me. He only said that this deal could change the fate of the ck Snake. I really dont know anything else.
Moreover, the person who died in the Central Guards Brigade had nothing to do with me. It was all nned by Fosse. Even if you want to take revenge, you shouldnt being for me.
Lin Yi was silent for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something and asked,
When you were in Panem, you were mixed up with the Meiguon military. If you obtained the ore, would you sell it or keep it for yourselves?
Through the conversation just now, Lin Yi realized that there might be something fishy going on.
ording to Fosse, he intended to use the Bass ore to acquire something that would significantly enhance ck Snakesbat capabilities. In other words, the item they were about to exchange for was extremely important to them, far more valuable than money.
Originally, when they cooperated with the Meiguons, the only thing the Americans could offer was money, which clearly wasnt what ck Snake wanted most.
So, there might be more to this situation than Lin Yi knew.
The cooperation with the Meiguons was just a cover to leverage their military power, Senal exined.
Fosse true goal was to get the ore and use them for a transaction, but it ultimately failed.
As expected.
Lin Yi thought to himself.
ck Snakes obsession with the ore wasnt due to ack of funds to buy weapons. They needed the minerals for other transactions.
What exactly they could exchange the minerals for remained a mystery.
Lin Yi tightened his grip on the scalpel. Go on, tell me everything you know.
Senal looked flustered.
Ive already told you everything I know. I really dont know anything anymore.
Looking at the fear in Senals eyes, Lin Yi knew that he was no longer useful.
Since you dont know anything anymore, theres no point in keeping you. Go have tea with God.
The sharp scalpel drew a bloody line across Senals neck.
His artery was cut open, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Lin Yis face was stained with his blood.
After throwing the corpse aside, Lin Yi wiped the blood off his face and looked at Song Jinmin.
Im guessing what Fossey went to trade for, its probably not a weapon. Do you have any thoughts on that?
My thoughts are simr to yours. ck Snake isnt an organization thatcks money, and their firepower is very advanced. If they were just purchasing weapons, they wouldnt be so careful, Song Jinmin said.
But Im curious about who made the deal with them.
Could it be a higher-ranked organization on the cklist? Ning Che asked.
Thats unlikely. Song Jinmin gave a rtively clear answer.
The cklist is a highly credible organization. Rankings are important because they affect their overseas business. Therefore, organizations on the cklist often use each other and generally dont give their subordinates a chance to improve theirbat capabilities. So, the person dealing with ck Snake is likely someone else.
Could it be a country? Qiu Yuluo asked.
Now, apart from overseas organizations, whats left are international forces.
We can t rule out this possibility, but there are also some secret organizations in the world. Their actions are more covert, and they rarely show themselves. With just the information we have now, its hard to guess who Fosse is dealing with.
Our next step is straightfroward, lets just go and see. Lin Yi said.
The operation in Panem was orchestrated by him. Regardless of his purpose, this person must die.
The group nodded. They came here to avenge Zhou Liang, so Fosse had to die!
Song Jinmin was silent for several seconds before nodding in agreement.
Lets go back to Doora first, then transfer to Qazar.
After discussing the next steps, they drove back to Mogash and then transferred back to Doora.
On the way back, Song Jinmin sat in his seat with his eyes closed, not saying a word. He didnt even tease the flight attendants, which made Lin Yi feel something was wrong.
At his level, he should handle everything with ease.
Whatever could make him show this expression must not be simple.
After arriving at the airport, they didnt go back to the hotel because the private jet was parked there, ready to take off after a short rest. This saved them a lot of time.
Although the two cities were not far apart, Doora and Mogash felt like heaven and hell.
Even the sunlight here seemed warmer than in Mogash.
At the airport, they found a western restaurant to have a meal and rest before departing.
After the meal, Song Jinmin went to the restroom. When he came out, he ran into Lin Yi outside.
F*ck, you scared me. Why are you still standing here?
I wanted to ask you about Qazar.
You mean Fosses deal?
Lin Yi nodded. You should have guessed something, right?
Song Jinmin was surprised at Lin Yis insight. It was not any inferior to his fathers.
Ive guessed a little. Song Jinmin said,
In the world, other than the ore being sought after, people are also after the
gene sequence serum. Its very likely that Fosse went to trade for it.
The gene sequence serum!
Lin Yi knew about this.
Back then, the people from the ck Gold Corporation had made a deal with
the Mitsui family in exchange for the gene sequence serum.
You know about this?
Lin Yi nodded. When we were tracking the ck Gold Corporation, they gave
up ore in exchange for the Mitsui familys gene sequence serum.
The serum developed by the Mitsui family is very rudimentary. Fosse probably wouldnt regard them so seriously, let alone be so careful.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yi said,
Who are the organizations in the world that have the ability to develop the original solution?
Among official organizations, only Meiguo has the ability to do this. No one knows whether others have the ability to research these things.
You mentioned the Mammon organization before. Do they have such capabilities?
They probably do, but its hard to say if its them, Song Jinmin replied.
However, Im guessing its not likely them. If they could, they would use direct robbery rather than such a refined approach.
Song Jinmins spection resonated with Lin Yi.
Empty-handed maniption would maximize profits, as two kilograms of Bass ore was no small amount. Using conventional means of exchange would require considerable resources.
Therefore, if they could resort to direct methods, they wouldntplicate things unnecessarily.
Therefore, its possible that another organization was involved in this operation, but they still didnt know who it was.
This world is reallyplicated!
Chapter 1885: Can’t You Behave for Once
Chapter 1885: Cant You Behave for Once
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
So I suggest that the rest of the Central Guards Brigade take a private ne back to Yanjing.
Something unpredictable might happen on this trip to Qazar. If the target is too big, it might lead to unnecessary trouble.
Lin Yi understood what Song Jinmin meant. Things in Qatar had deviated from their expectations.
It was no longer within controble bounds, so they couldnt bring everyone around.
What about us?
Song Jinmin took out two tickets from behind. Here they are.
Youve been nning this all along?
Song Jinmin nodded, Bringing others is inconvenient. As for the arrangements, you handle it.
Damn.
Cursing, Lin Yi called Ning Che, telling her to board the ne first and that he would follow shortly.
Ning Che didnt suspect anything, thinking Lin Yi had other preparations to make, so she didnt overthink it and organized the others to board.
Then, Lin Yi called the flight crew, instructing them to fly directly to Yanjing once everyone was on board, thus ensuring there would be no issues.
But soon, Lin Yis phone rang. He knew that it was a call from Ning Che.
What are you doing? Why did you let us leave first?!
He could tell that Ning Che was really angry.
Well go by ourselves this time. You guys go back to Yanjing first. Lin Yi said with a smile.
Dont ask me about the details. Ill talk to you when we get back to Yanjing. Thats all for now.
In order to prevent Ning Che from flying into a rage, Lin Yi hung up.
Then, he called Liu Hong and briefly exined the details to him.
His mission was to pick up Ning Che and the others in Yanjing and not to let them head back to Qazar after returning.
Is everything settled? Song Jinmin asked.
Lin Yi nodded in response.
After waiting for more than an hour, their flight took off.
The distance between the two cities was only a few hundred kilometers. After sitting for more than an hour, they arrived at Doza, the capital of Qazar.
Everyone knew that Doora was a city filled with rich people, but they did not know that Qazar was the same.
However, they were indeed an extremely low-key country. Only those who had been here knew that Qazars wealth exceeded their imagination.
Even as the country with the fourth highest per capita ie in the world, Qazar was not very famous.
After getting off the ne, Lin Yi bought twoputers.
I he news of his death being fake had not been announced yet, so he could not look for Director Shen to assist him. He had to rely on himself.
Although his hacking skills werent as high as Director Shens team, it wasnt a big issue for him to breach the hotels security system.
After everything was ready, the two of them took a taxi to the Mandarin Orientals Oriental Wenhua Hotel.
Well book a presidential suite.
For once, Song Jinmin didnt trick Lin Yi and handed over his credit card with a carefree attitude.
The female receptionist gave them a meaningful look, finding the situation a bit intriguing.
Once they were in the room, Lin Yi connected to the inte and started hacking into the hotels security system.
You know giw ti gacj? Song Jinmin asked in surprise.
I know a bit. Hacking a system isnt a problem, Lin Yi said, focused on his task.
Our goal now is to find Fosses whereabouts. Otherwise, their deal will bepleted before we even find them.
Song Jinmin nodded, Hurry up. We cant be sure if their transaction isplete yet. If it is, our trip here will have been for nothing.
I know.
About two hourster, Lin Yi sessfully hacked into the hotels security system, finding it easier than he had anticipated.
How is it? Did you find anything?
Seeing the information on the screen, Lin Yi frowned.
Fosses name isnt on the entire hotels guest list.
Song Jinmin remained silent, his expression serious.
He probably used a pseudonym. Itsmon in these situations. Finding him this way might be difficult.
Lin Yi thought about it. Song Jinmins words made sense.
At Fosses level, enemies were everywhere. Countless people wanted to capture him ande to Qazar to hide his name to make it safer for himself. It was very normal.
There are two ways to find him, Song Jinmin said.
Tell me.
Ill call Mira and ask her to extract Fosses information. Then well stake out the hotel.
This method is a little stupid. Whats the second one?
You sell your looks and hook up with the waitress at the front desk. That way, you can easily find out about him.
Whats the saying?
Song Jinmin leaned against the door. You have to learn to make use of your advantages. Besides, I learned this trick from your father. You cant scold me for it.
You should learn from him.
Theres nothing for me to learn.
Alright, lets not talk about this useless thing for now. Contact Mira and get information about Fosse before we proceed to the next step.
Dont worry.
Song Jinmin called M and told her what had happened.
About ten minutester, Song Jinmin received an email.
The rest of the information didnt matter to either of them. The most important thing was Fosses photo.
Lets go and watch the door, Song Jinmin said.
Go ahead. Im not going.
What, are you going to hook up with the receptionist?
Ive hacked into all the hotels security systems. We can use the surveince footage to find Fosse.
F*ck, youre even sneakier than your father. Song Jinmin lit a cigarette. You can check things out here. Ill wait at the door so that I dont miss anything. Okay.
After Song Jinmin left, Lin Yi didnt waste any more time and started checking the surveince cameras, hoping to find any clues about Fosse.
ording to Senal, Fossi hade to Doza the day before, so Lin Yi had changed the date of the surveince tapes to the day before as well. All there was left to do was to observe patiently.
It wasnt until seven in the evening that Lin Yi found a suspicious person wearing a headscarf in the surveince video.
He was carrying a ck suitcase and followed by two men.
It was unknown if it was a coincidence or intentional, but throughout the entire video, the other party did not show his face. He was very vignt.
But for a brief moment, Lin Yi found an opportunity!
Freezing the frame, Lin Yi saw the face clearly!
It was indeed Fosse!
Immediately, Lin Yi confirmed Fosses room, which happened to be just above theirs!
Lin Yi grabbed his phone and called Song Jinmin.
Get back here quickly, Ive found Fosses trail.
Dont rush, Ill be done in a minute.
Lin Yi,???
Cant you behave for once?!
Chapter 1886: The Younger Generation Is Fearsome

Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
After working for such a long time, dont I have to rx? Song Jinmin said.
Wait for me. I wont finish the session. Ill go up and find you.
Lin Yi was also helpless. He felt that Song Jinmins heart was bigger than his.
Ten minutester, the door lock was unlocked. Song Jinmin walked in with a ck school bag on his back.
What is this? Where did you get it?
I got it when I went out this afternoon.
Lin Yi opened his bag curiously and found two guns, a few sticky bombs, two tracking devices, and a listening device.
With your skills, do you still need these things?
Lin Yi remembered thatst time in Doora, Song Jinmin had dealt with Jeffrey and the others barehanded. He felt that without the help of a few missiles, he wouldnt be able to kill Song Jimin.
I dont really need these things. I prepared it all for you. Keep them for self-defense.
With you by my side, would I still need this?
Lin Yi realized that Song Jinmin seemed to be much more cautious thanst time.
With his skills, this was very unusual.
I know a few people here who specialize in this kind of business. Song Jinmin lit a cigarette and said,
I asked around and said that in the past few days, more people havee to his ce to buy weapons than usual. This might be a red g.
A red g?
Song Jinmins words left Lin Yi stunned, taking a few seconds to react.
You mean to say that the number of dangerous elements entering Qazar has increased recently, and their objectives might be simr to Fosses?
Song Jinmin nodded. Thats my guess. Im not sure if its urate, but its better to be cautious.
Lets proceed with that assumption, Lin Yi said.
If there really are many dangerous elements entering Qazar recently, and their goals align with Fosses, what does that indicate?
Song Jinmin silently smoked, pondering for a while.
It indicates that the person Fosse is dealing with has arge amount of valuable goods, attracting many people.
In other words, this could be a multi-party transaction, Lin Yi added.
If our assumption is correct, the person dealing with Foxy must be quite formidable, likely on par with us.
Lin Yi was surprised by Song Jinmins remark.
This was high praise.
Are you sure?
More or less.
After finishing his cigarette, Song Jinmin lit another one. From what my friend told me, those who came to buy from him in the past were all quite skilled, seemingly at Foxys level. Without some real capabilities, they couldnt control so many people and would easily get robbed.
Lin Yis eyes darted around as if he had thought of something.
Could it be someone from Mammon Organization?
Its possible, but its not certain. Song Jinmin did not give an affirmative answer.
But what we can be sure of is that two kilograms of ore is not a small amount. No matter how many people there are lying in wait, Fosse is their big trading partner. Theres no doubt about that.
Lin Yi didntment on Song Jinmins words.
Based on his understanding of ores, two kilograms of ores was indeed not a small amount.
However, it doesnt matter to us who made the deal with them. We just have to kill Fosse, Song Jinmin said.
What you need to investigate now is Fossesst time out. Then, you can just wait for him and kill him.
Lin Yi nodded and continued to control theputer to investigate Fosses movements.
About an hourter, Lin Yi had already sorted out the information about Fosse.
Thest time he went out was around ten oclock this morning, and he hadnt been back since.
Lin Yi continued to fiddle with theputer before hacking into the camera at the entrance of the hotel.
He also gained ess to another camera aimed at Fosses room. As soon as he returned, they would see it!
After everything was ready, the two of them sat on the sofa in boredom and stared at the camera.
It wasnt until ten oclock at night that Lin Yi suddenly sat up from the sofa.
Hesback!
However, Song Jinmin, who was beside him, did not react. Lin Yi turned his head and realized that he had fallen asleep.
F*ck, dont sleep at this time.
Lin Yi went up and kicked him. Song Jinmin suddenly woke up.
Whats wrong? Is he back?
He just got out of his car.
Lin Yi pointed at the screen. Hes about toe in.
In the camera, Fosse was wearing a white robe, a scarf on his head, and his trademark beard.
It was easy to recognize him.
Soon Fosse and two of his men disappeared from view of the camera, but a few minutester, they appeared on the other surveince screen.
Song Jinmin stood up and tidied his clothes.
Its about time. Lets get to work.
Wait a minute. Ill hack into the hotels surveince system first. That way, no one will know.
Youre quite thoughtful.
Looking at Lin Yi skillfully operating theputer, Song Jinmin suddenly felt that the younger generation would surpass him.
In some aspects, he was stronger than his father.
He might even achieve what his father failed to do.
It all depended on whether the Central Guards Brigade could restrain him.
Done! Lin Yi pressed the enter button and said.
Song Jinmin looked at theputer screen and realized that the cameras upstairs had been adjusted.
It was not aimed at Fosses door.
Song Jinmin did some mental estimations so that his body would not appear on the screen when he attackedter.
He had to ensure that he would not be exposed.
After tidying up briefly, the two of them went out together.
Because Fosses room was upstairs, they didnt choose to take the elevator. Instead, they walked to the fire escape and reached the floor above.
The floor of the presidential suite was rtively quiet. When the two men came up, they found two men guarding Fosses door.
They were like two ck sculptures, motionless, but vignt.
Lin Yi nced around and saw that it was quiet. No one else passed by, so he waved his hand.
Ill take the left side, you handle the right. Stick to the wall, take them out, and drag them back along the wall. This way, we wont appear on the surveince footage.
Dont worry, I was doing this kind of work when you were still watching romance action movies. I know what Im doing.
Without waiting, Song Jinmin moved first, nonchntly walking along the wall.
Damn!
Lin Yi cursed and followed suit, fiddling with his phone to appear as if he was just passing through.
As they approached the two guards, both men swiftly sprang into action. They simultaneously covered the guards mouths and snapped their necks!
The entire operation was executed without making a sound.
Chapter 1887: A Strange Symbol
Chapter 1887: A Strange Symbol
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
In the room, Fosse was sitting on the sofa. In front of him was a ck suitcase.
His two bodyguards stood quietly in front of him with their hands behind their backs. Like the people outside, they did not say a word. They were like mutes.
However, the two people in front of him were worlds apart from the people outside.
This was because they had already reached C-ss, and the people guarding outside were only E-ss.
Looking at the ck box in front of him, Fosse was excited, as if he was looking at a peerless treasure.
Cautiously, Fosse opened the box.
Inside the box, it was filled with ck foam, designed with a recessed center where a small, one-milliliter syringey quietly.
The lid of the box was also filled with ck hard foam, but with a slight difference.
A pattern wasser-etched onto the foam.
Apass above, a square ruler below, and arge letter G in the center.
Thisbination gave off an inexplicable sense of eeriness.
The syringe was filled with a yellow liquid, slightly translucent, with a small air bubble that didnt move much.
This showed that the liquid was very viscous.
As to what the contents were, it was still unknown.
When he saw the syringe, the mes in Fosses eyes seemed to burn brighter.
Gently, Fosse took out the injection. His eyes were mesmerized, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
For a long time, this was something he had dreamed of. Today, he finally obtained it.
Eagerly, Foxy removed the cap of the syringe and carefully pushed the plunger.
He only stopped when he saw yellow liquid seeping out at the tip of the needle.
Then, he lifted his shirt and revealed his arm.
The next second, he stabbed the syringe into his arm.
For someone like Fosse, the pain from the injection was almost negligible.
Then Fosse slowly pushed the syringe, injecting one-tenth of the yellow liquid into his muscles. Then he took it out again.
The moment he put down the syringe, he felt the changes in his body. His blood cirction elerated.
The skin on his body was also showing signs of redness. Even the muscles on his body seemed to be throbbing!
However, Fosse was not afraid. Instead, he was very excited!
Because this was exactly the feeling he wanted!
BANG!
Fosse threw a punch at the wall beside him and smashed it. The ster on the well crumbled off, but he didnt seem to feel any pain.
But soon, the red color on Fossis body gradually returned to normal.
The fanaticism in his eyes became even more intense.
Its just 0.1 milliliters, but it has such an effect. Its unbelievable! Fosse said excitedly.
These people are demons. They actually developed something like this! This world will change because of them!
Hadav, inform the other party that the transaction will take ce tomorrow night, Fossey said to one of the bodyguards.
Leader, arent you going to find someone else to test the effects of this thing?
Fosse shook his head. He said,
In the entire world, their credibility is beyond question. The reason they sent me a dose before the transaction was just to show sincerity. We dont need to be overly cautious. I trust them.
Alright, I will contact them, said the bodyguard named Hadav.
But while we were away, the base was attacked by an airstrike. Over a hundred people were reported dead, and Senal is missing. It seems something went wrong.
Hearing this news, Fosses expression turned cold.
He had known about this for some time, but had other matters to attend to, so he had put it aside.
Now that things here were mostly resolved, it was time to deal with matters at home.
Fosse lit a cigar, staring straight ahead.
Any news from the base?
Before the airstrike, the enemys vanguard had already infiltrated the base, but there wasnt arge-scale conflict. Except for an unexpected attack on Outpost 6, there werent many losses, Haddaf said.
But after that, the base was attacked, resulting in over 120 casualties.
They ambushed Outpost 6?
Foxy muttered, finding the situation a bit odd.
If the enemy truly wanted to strike the organization, an immediate airstrike would suffice. Why bother with a surprise attack on Outpost 6?
What worried Fosse most was that there were not many organizations in the world capable of using rockets. At the very least, they had to be among the top five on the cklist.
However, in recent years, he had not organized anyrge-scale activities, nor had he had any conflicts with other organizations. Even if there were, there was no need tounch such a sudden attack.
Fosse thought about it, but he still couldnt figure out what was going on.
Leader, do you think its someone from the Central Guards Brigade? Hadav said.
Central Guards Brigade?
A few days ago, we had a conflict with the Central Guards Brigade in Panama. Could they have sent someone over?
Thats unlikely. The Central Guards Brigade is an official organization. They wouldnt do such a thing
Fosse suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
He thought of something else.
The Panem operation had failed because their reinforcements had arrived.
This was the problem. Their reinforcements didnt seem to be from the Central Guards Brigade!
When the reinforcements arrived, all the members of the organization had been killed, resulting in heavy losses.
Could they be the ones who attacked the base?
After thinking about it for about half a minute, Fosse still felt that it was unlikely.
That unknown reinforcements being able to help the Central Guard Brigade out of trouble was already an unbelievable feat.
If Huaxia were to hire them to carry out attacks, it would undoubtedly be an unwise move.
Internationally, if any country coborated with overseas organizations, it would face the united opposition of the internationalmunity.
Even Meiguo wouldnt dare to do it openly, let alone Huaxia.
Most importantly, the airstrikested just over ten minutes and ended quickly, with no further activity afterward, which doesnt quite align with typical government behvaior.
So, who secretly initiated the airstrike?
And what was their purpose in doing so?
Zzzzz!
At that moment, the electronic door lock in the room buzzed with the sound of an electric current, surprising Fosse.
Who dared to open the door without his permission?
Chapter 1888: Song Jinmins Worry
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The abnormality at the door immediately attracted the attention of the bodyguards and they rushed towards the door.
But as soon as Hadav walked over, the door opened.
However, before he could see the person outside clearly, he was caught off guard and kicked back, falling heavily to the ground.
The sudden change made Fosse cautious.
Lin Yi and Song Jinmin walked in from the outside and locked the door, turning this ce into a sealed space so that no one would disturb them.
Its you!
Fosse didnt get angry when he saw the two of them. Instead, he looked surprised.
He was the one who nned the operation in Panem, so he knew the whole story and who his target was.
Now, the dead Huaxian had appeared in front of him!
This made him shudder.
Arent you already dead? Why are you here?!
Fosse questioned Lin Yi.
For you to ask that, you must have something to do with what happened in Panem, Lin Yi said in a low voice.
So what if I nned it? Fosse said.
But Im really surprised that the explosion didnt kill you.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, killing intent shooting out like two sharp swords.
But there was no fear on Fosses face.
As the leader of ck Snake, a scene like this was not enough to scare him.
Im also very lucky to be alive. Thats why I came to take revenge on you. I wonder if youre prepared.
Hearing this, Fosse understood what was going on.
Since they could find this ce, it meant they must have also been the ones tounch the air raid on the base.
Do you thinkyou can do anything to me just because you found this ce? Fosse said with a shrug.
If I died so easily, I wouldnt have be the leader of ck Snake.
I understand your situation. If I wasnt confident, do you think I woulde over?
Lin Yis attitude made Fosse cautious.
Undoubtedly, the man beside him was his aplice and his greatest support.
But at this moment, Song Jinmin had no interest in dealing with Fosse.
His gaze was entirely fixed on the ck box on the table.
The contents inside were very likely what he was here to make a deal for!
Your skills are indeed impressive, but whether you can leave here alive is
another matter.
Fosse expression remained calm and indifferent as he said,
Hadav, you two take care of them. Dont waste time.
Yes, Boss!
With a nod, the two men attacked Song Jinmin.
Thetter raised an eyebrow, seemingly unperturbed.
Judging by their attack patterns, he could tell they were both at a C-ss.
Their skills were much better than Wei Shipu and Zhu Jinbo, already reaching upper C-ss.
This cautious b*stard had indeed brought two skilled individuals with him.
As Song Jinmin was contemting, the two had already rushed at him.
Despite their decent skills, in front of an A-ss expert like Song Jinmin, they were not much of a threat.
Hadav led the charge, delivering a sidekick aimed directly at Song Jinmins face. Lin Yi watched silently from the side, knowing that Hadavs level was above his own, and the oue would be obvious if they fought alone.
But in front of Song Jinmin, Hadav was outmatched.
Song Jinmin effortlessly dodged the attack and retaliated in the same manner.
Whoosh!
The sound was like two cars colliding!
Hadav was instantly kicked away. The television beside him was smashed to pieces.
When Fosse looked at him, he saw that his face was covered in blood. He waspletely still, as if he were dead.
After dealing with Hadav, Song Jinmin rushed towards the other person.
Therge hand grabbed his neck and twisted it. The entire process took less than five seconds.
This was the oue of an A-ss against a C-ss. There was no suspense.
Bang!
The sudden gunshot snapped Song Jinmin back to his senses.
Abloody hole had appeared in Fosses hand, and there was a fallen gun on the ground.
It was clear that he intended to shoot, but Lin Yi was quicker.
Fosses face turned grim, even angry, but he didnt panic.
As the leader of ck Snake, he had weathered many storms. Even in this situation, he remained calm.
Dont bother struggling. You wont get out of here today.
Slowly, Fosse stood up and walked to the liquor cab, calmly pouring himself a ss of red wine.
Elegant and confident, he didnt appear the least bit like a prisoner, but rather seemed relieved.
His bloody hand seemed to have no effect on him.
He he didnt seem to take Lin Yi and Song Jinmin seriously.
I have a question Id like to ask, Fosse said after taking a sip of his wine.
What do you want to know?
You went to great lengths toe here and kill me. Was it just to avenge your fallenrades?
Yes, isnt that enough?
Your presence has made me rethink what I know about the Huaxians. They say youre a nation of loyalty and righteousness. Today, I truly believe it. I dont think this is the time to discuss this, Fosse said.
If you want to survive, I suggest you state your purpose and hand over the two kilograms of ore. Dont force me to use harsh methods, or youll wish for death.
Im sorry, I cant answer either of your questions, Fosse replied calmly.
No matter. I have many ways to make you talk. Its our specialty in the Central Guards Brigade.
Im afraid youll be disappointed. I wont give you that chance.
With that, Fosses expression turned resolute. He smashed the wine ss in his hand and used the remaining shard to sh his own carotid artery!
In an instant, blood spurted everywhere.
His life began its countdown!
F*ck!
Lin Yi cursed. He didnt expect Fosse to be so ruthless as tomit suicide in such a way!
Alright, lets ignore him for now. We need to find out what is being kept here! Song Jinmin did not care about Fosses death. Instead, he rushed to the table and picked up the ck box.
He also wanted to know what was inside.
However, the moment he opened the box, he was stunned!
He saw the ck logo on the box!
Her heart could not help but beat faster, to the point that it was difficult to control!
It was them!
Chapter 1889: Freemasons
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Whats in it?
Because his back was facing Song Jinmin, Lin Yi didnt notice the slight expression on his face.
As for Song Jinmin, he quickly hid his emotions so Lin Yi didnt notice anything.
Here, take a look.
Song Jinmin handed the syringe to Lin Yi, but the box was still in his hand.
Lin Yi first looked at the liquid in the syringe and found that it was viscous, very simr to the gene medicine developed by the Mitsui family.
However, the color was different.
Weve got everything. What are you doing there?
Seeing that Song Jinmin was still rummaging through the box, Lin Yi asked.
Im afraid theres a hiddenpartment in the box. I have to look more carefully.
Song Jinmin violently tore open up all the hard sponges in the box and destroyed the logo on it.
Lin Yi wanted to see it, but it was already impossible.
Nothing, its just that, Song Jinmin shrugged and said.
Lin Yi didnt think too much about it because the syringe in his hand attracted his attention even more.
I think it should be a gene serum. What do you think? Lin Yi said.
Ive seen the gene potion developed by the Mitsui family before, but it was light blue.
Almost, but no one knows the exact level it has reached.
Song Jinmin nced around. Lets go. This isnt the ce to talk.
Okay.
Although they decided to leave, Song Jinmin didnt leave immediately. Instead, he used a lighter to ignite the things in the room. Soon, the fire became uncontroble.
Lets go.
Song Jinmin called out, and Lin Yi nodded.
The two avoided the cameras and left Fosses room.
Isnt this a bit too much? Your kill-and-cover-up act is a bit too thorough. Better to be cautious.
Song Jinmins expression turned serious, as he realized the gravity of the situation.
He was grateful he joined this mission. If he had let Lin Yi handle it alone, he might have encountered an unexpected incident.
Watching the raging fire through the top-floor windows, Lin Yi couldnt help but think that these people were truly like a bunch of bandits.
What was even more ironic was that his father was actually their bandit leader. Lets go. This is not the ce to talk.
Although it was already early in the morning, a city like Doza was still lively at this time.
In other words, the lights of the city at night were almost unextinguishable in this rich region of the Middle East.
The two of them found another hotel and settled down. They booked a ne ticket for the next morning and prepared to return to Doora.
Ever since you came back, youve been staring at that gene serum. Did you find anything?
Im wondering why Fosse killed himself and didnt even fight for it.
At Fosses level, hes smarter than most people in the world. He already saw the situation clearly. Song Jinmin said.
Theres no way you were going to let him go. Instead of being tortured, he might as well die a quick death, just like when we first met Mammon.
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, seemingly agreeing with Song Jinmins point of view.
However, there was one more thing that Song Jinmin did not exin.
Even if Fosse could escape from Lin Yi and survived, his fate wouldnt be any better.
I he person who made the deal with him would not let him off. Death was inevitable.
Do you think this syringe was what Fosse wanted? Lin Yi said, Isnt it a little too little?
This was because he had seen aplete gene potion before. Each one contained at least ten milliliters. The amount in front of him was clearly not enough.
I dont think so either. Song Jinmin said.
ck Snake isnt solely Fosses. He couldnt exchange two kilograms of ore for a single dose of the drug. Rather than enhancing personal strength, it would be better to improve the overall power of the organization. Even if Fosse wanted this, the other person in charge on the ind wouldnt agree.
Song Jinmin lit a cigarette, paused, and said, In my experience, no drug is worth that much money. Its likely just a sample.
A sample? Lin Yi couldnt help butugh. Its not a cosmetic, why would there be a sample?
In business, its normal to let the buyer see the product first.
So, ording to you, their transaction wasntpleted yet. Its a pity we didnt find the ore.
Given your countrys situation, even if you obtained the two kilograms of ore, it would only be used for research. Your Yanlong team produces quite a bit each year, so its not a significant loss, Song Jinmin said.
Inparison, obtaining that gene serum is a huge deal.
Lin Yi nodded silently. But I have a hunch that the people Fosse was dealing with might be from Mammon.
Song Jinmin looked up at Lin Yi.
Why do you think that?
With their strong intelligence capabilities, they should have found out that
Fosse had the ore. But they havent acted until now, so
So you suspect the trading partner was someone from Mammon?
Yes.
Dont be too tense. Even with their strong intelligence, they cant cover everything. There are always oversights. But its hard to say who exactly it is, and theres no need to be overly concerned.
Song Jinmin stood up and stretched. Dont think about anything else for now.
The mission here ispleted. Have a good sleep and return to Doora tomorrow. After all, its not very safe here.
Lin Yi nodded. He was a little tired after such a long time.
After resting for a night, the two of them boarded a flight to Doora the next day.
After returning to Doora, Lin Yi did not stay here for long.
He first returned to the hotel and got the photo frame he had retrieved from the ind. Then, he took a ne back to Yanjing.
As for that bottle of serum, it was a prohibited item. Lin Yi handed it to the local embassy and asked them to think of a way to transport it back to the country.
Outside the airport, Song Jinmin took out his phone and called Lin Jingzhan as he watched Lin Yis ne take off.
Is everything settled?
Fosse is dead. Its just as we guessed. They traded the ore for the gene serum.
On the other side, Lin Jingzhan was very calm. The only thing worth trading ores for seemed to be gene serums.
Since youre done,e back. There are still many things to do on the ind. Theres something else I need to tell you, Song Jinmin said in a deep voice. Previously, we guessed that the person who made the deal with Fosse might be from Mammon Organization. However, when we made a movest night, 1 realized that it was not the case.
Lin Jingzhan became serious. Is there someone else?
Freemasons!
Chapter 1890: Investigation
Chapter 1890: Investigation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Freemasons!
Hearing these three words, even Lin Jingzhan could not remain calm.
Are you sure?
I saw the Freemasons logo on the box, but I destroyed it so he didnt see it.
Why are those old things involved in this matter?
Perhaps they realized that its unrealistic to use conventional methods to achieve the unification of the world, so they adopted this method.
They probably started nning this a long time ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to suddenlye up with the gene serum. Lin Jingzhanughed and said.
This world is getting crazier and crazier. I cant wait.
Doza, Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
On the top-floor viewing tform was a small outdoor cafe.
It was a ce where people could enjoy sunbathing and slowly taste coffee.
Moreover, there was a huge swimming pool here, surrounded by ss.
The beauties who came to stay here did not mind at all. They showed their figures to outsiders like it was their own swimming pool.
In the corner of the open-air cafe sat two middle-aged men.
One of them was wearing a blue suit and wore an AP Royal Oak on his hand. Whether it was his meticulous hairstyle or his slightly stubbled chin, he gave off an extremely gentlemanly feeling.
But wearing this clothing in such weather made it unbearably hot.
Compared to the man in the blue suit, the ck man sitting next to him seemed a bit morefortable. He had switched his jacket for a white shirt, giving off a more rxed impression.
Both men stared straight ahead, asionally sipping their coffee as if enjoying the pleasant weather.
At that moment, a subordinate in a ck suit approached them from behind.
Mr. Evans, Mr. Walker.
The ck man, Evans, turned around. Have you cleared up the matter at the Wenhua Hotel? Whats the situation with Fosse?
The ce where the fire broke out yesterday was Fosses room. He and his two subordinates burned to death.
Burned to death!
The news was hard for the two men to ept.
They knew well what kind of person Fosse was and couldnt believe that his death happened at such a coincidental time.
Are you certain the deceased is Fosse?
The white man, Walker, asked.
Yes, we are certain, the subordinate in ck replied.
But ording to the police investigation, the fire was caused by the carpet catching fire. They initially determined that the fire was likely intentional.
Moreover, the forensic examination revealed that Fosse and his two subordinates had fatal injuries on their bodies, suggesting they were already dead before the fire started.
The two of them looked at each other with calm expressions.
They had already guessed this oue.
Fosses identity was very sensitive. It was normal for an ident to happen at this time.
However, the other partys approach forced them to be cautious.
Killing people and setting fires were two separate things. They were nothing, but if they were put together, itplicated the matter.
Moreover, the two subordinates that Fosse had brought had already reached the C-ss. To be able to kill them silently meant that the person sent by the other party was at least B-ss.
In the entire world, the number of organizations who could do this could be counted on one hand.
What do you think about this, Evans? Walker said.
For this transaction, Fosse was our biggest target. We didnt get a full two kilograms of ore. This might affect our subsequent ns.
Evans looked unusually serious.
I dont care where the ore goes now. I just want to know if the C-ss potion has been snatched away.
Walkers expression changed slightly. Only then did he recall another hidden worry.
If the newly developed potions were lost, the impact of this matter would be unprecedented.
With Fosses personality, he would definitely try it immediately after obtaining the potion. Its unlikely that it would fall into the other partys hands.
This is naturally the best oue, but you need to understand that if there are any remnants left behind, the other party could still take it back for analysis.
I believe this was premeditated, Walker said.
They chose this timing because they must have known Fosses whereabouts.
Very likely, Evans replied.
If the other party has such capabilities, it narrows down our scope of investigation significantly.
Mr. Evans, something else happened after Fosses death, the subordinate in ck said.
Their base in Somal was attacked by an unknown organization two days ago, resulting in heavy casualties.
I think these two incidents are connected, Walker said.
We must find the people who targeted Fosse and ck Snake. Our assets cannot fall into the wrong hands!
Yes, I will get on it right away!
At around eight in the evening, Lin Yis flightnded at Yanjing Airport.
As soon as he left the airport, he saw three cars from the Central Guards Brigade parked at the entrance.
Seeing Lin Yie out, Ning Che rushed up angrily and grabbed the soft flesh on Lin Yis waist.
You still have the cheek toe back!
Easy, easy.
Lin Yi shed a smile and said.
This has nothing to do with me. Its all Song Jinmins fault. He said that it wasnt appropriate to bring you guys along this time, so he took me away alone. If youre unhappy, you can look for him.
Dont talk nonsense with me. Dont think I dont know whats going on. Ning Che said.
If you didnt agree, he wouldnt have taken you away.
Alright, at this point, theres no point in talking about this. Qiu Yuluo said.
This is not the ce to talk. Lets find a ce to eat first and talk while eating.
Lets go.
Then, the group arrived at a small seafood restaurant and prepared to have supper.
Hows the situation in Qazar? Did it go out of control?
Everythings fine. The reason for that is that we didnt do anything else. We rushed back after killing Fosse. If we had delved deeper, we might have encountered trouble.
Trouble?
Fosse went to Qatar to do business with others involving gene serums, Lin Yi said, biting into a piece of crayfish as he spoke.
And he wasnt the only one there. If we pursued this matter further, it would attract more people. Even with Song Jinmin by my side, the situation could easily spiral out of control.
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che nodded thoughtfully.
Anyone capable of handling such arge transaction in one go must have a strong background, Ning Che said.
I heard from Boss Liu that you found half a vial of gene serum. Can you tell what type it is?
Chapter 1891: Meeting Again
Chapter 1891: Meeting Again
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
?Im not sure, but it should be more advanced than the ones developed by the
Mitsui family. Lin Yi said.
The potion will probably be sent to Huaxia in a few days. Let the relevant departments study it themselves.
The gene serum developed by the Mitsui family was already very effective. If there are higher-level ones, the international situation will probably be even more chaotic, Qiu Yuluo said in a deep voice.
Theres no need to worry about international matters for the time being. As
long as Tilia Ind isnt lost, it wont affect us much.
After a brief chat about Qazar, the dinner began to get lively.
They drank until midnight before everyone left.
Lin Yi took a taxi back to Pangu Hotel, but Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin were still
awake, waiting for him to return.
Brother Lin, youre back!
Seeing Lin Yi standing outside, Qiao Xin happily weed him in. Li Chuhan also stood up, looking no different from normal.
Lin Yi nodded with a smile and walked towards Li Chuhan.
How do you feel? Youre feeling much better, right?
Li Chuhan smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with gentleness.
I feel fine now. I can go back to work normally.
Theres no need to rush. Go back and rest for a few more days.
Thats what I tried to persuade her, but Sister Li refused to listen, Qiao Xin
said.
He said that he would go back to Zhonghai when you came back, and then go
to the hospital to work.
I might not be able to go back tomorrow. I still have some other things to deal with. Lin Yi looked at the time. After Im done with my private matters tomorrow, Ill bring you guys around Yanjing before going back.
Li Chuhan nodded gently. Well followyour n.
Then lets rest first. Dont stay upte at this time.
Qiao Xin winked at the two of them.
I wont be a third wheel here tonight. The two of you can sleep here. Be
gentle.
With that, Qiao Xin left the room and went next door.
The next morning, after the three of them had breakfast, Lin Yi drove to the
Central Guards Brigade and arrived at Liu Hongs office.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, Liu Hong put down his work.
The thing you got from Qazar is already on its way. It will be sent to Yanjing in
a few hours.
Youre quite fast. Lin Yi smiled.
I can confirm that its a gene serum, but you can study it yourself. I wont get
involved.
Liu Hong nodded. It was very beneficial that Lin Yi could do this.
Did you find out who they were dealing with?
Lin Yi shook his head. This matter has already exceeded my ability. I cant investigate at all. However, one thing is certain. The person who made the deal with Fosse must be a huge organization. Even if the Yanlong Team is sent back, they might not be able topete with them, so dont overthink it for the time being.
Liu Hong was deep in thought. With Lin Yis personality, the fact that he could
say something like that showed how serious the matter was.
Moreover, when he was there, Song Jinmin was by his side. This was probably
the result of their discussion.
Due to this reason, Liu Hong didnt ask any more questions.
As for what to do, he still had to discuss it with Elder Lu.
In truth, theres nothing much to do in the Central Guards Brigade for the time being. Rest well during this period, but you have to prepare well. Who knows, there might be a mission on the ind at any moment.
Understood.
Lin Yi responded casually and turned to walk out of Liu Hongs office, but his face was expressionless.
Since he had settled everything in Yanjing, he had no reason to stay here other than to have fun with Li Chuhan for a few days.
He had no choice but to return to Zhonghai.
After leaving Liu Hongs office, Lin Yi went to another office and met up with
the people from Team 1.
Brother Lin, did Boss Liu assign a new mission?
Not for now. Everyone should go their own ways and take care of their own matters.
Are you going back to Zhonghai? Xiao Bing asked.
We could travel together since its on the way.
I have some personal business to take care of here for a few days. You guys go ahead.
Everyone nodded. With everything settled, it was time to head back.
They left the office building one by one, nning to have dinner together that evening and enjoy some time before parting ways the next day.
Meanwhile, Liang Ruoxu drove with Liang Xianghe and arrived at the gate of the Central Guard Brigade base.
Grandpa, youre getting old. Why still involve yourself with the Central Guard Brigade? Wouldnt it be better to stay home, drink tea, and rx? The Central Guard Brigade holds a significant strategic position in Huaxia. Leading Teams 5 to 8 brings substantial benefits to the Liang family. Things arent as simple as you think, Liang Xianghe said with a cheerful smile.
And you, youve been in Yanjing for quite a while. When do you n to go back?
Upon mentioning returning to Zhonghai, a look of mncholy appeared on
Liang Ruoxus face.
Lets talk about it in a few days. I dont feel like going back right now.
Liang Xianghe knew about Lin Yis survival but didnt borate.
Such matters were difficult to exin, so he decided to go along with Lin Yis wishes.
He believed that the truth woulde to light soon enough.
However, seeing his granddaughter constantly downcast made him, as her grandfather, feel ufortable.
You cant keep doing this. Youll have to go back sooner orter.
Aiya, didnt I say that Ill be back in a few days?
Thats what you said before. Liang Xianghe said.
But I still have the same attitude. Lin Yi is too unreliable. I wont agree to your matter.
At a time like this, it doesnt matter if you agree or not
Liang Ruoxu suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Because she was sending Liang Xianghe over, her car drove straight to the basepound.
But at this moment, she saw a person wearing a mask walking out of the base building.
She was stunned.
Even though half of the other partys face was covered by a mask, she would never forget those eyes.
It was exactly the same as Lin Yis.
In addition, their height and size were almost identical, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Liang Ruoxus heart raced!
She did not believe that two people could look so simr in this world.
At the same time, Liang Xianghe also saw Lin Yi.
However, he did not say anything. It was better to let the young people handle these things themselves.
Liang Ruoxu unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, but she didnt move. She looked straight at Lin Yi and didnt leave for a long time.
As if sensing her gaze, Lin Yi also looked in Liang Ruoxus direction. He stopped in his tracks and did not move.
Their gazes met in midair.
Like the stars in the night sky, the light intertwined.
In that instant, Liang Ruoxu was extremely certain.
The man standing in front of her was the person she had been thinking about all day and night.
Chapter 1892: Your Promise
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Liang Xianghe, who had just gotten out of the car, did not say anything else.
Instead, he walked slowly towards the base building.
At the same time, when they saw the two people on the field, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were very tactful. They told the others to leave and made way for them.
However, Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu were no longer in the mood to pay attention to others.
Their gazesnded on each other. It was as if the stars were emitting a dazzling light.
Lin Yi saw that her eyes were red and glistening with tears.
However, her pride did not let her tears fall.
After some time, Lin Yi raised his head and gestured for Liang Ruoxu to get into the car.
The two of them tacitly got into the car parked at the side.
The moment he closed the door, Lin Yi took a deep breath and took off his mask.
Liang Ruoxu stared at him with her beautiful eyes. Her gaze was filled with a sense of responsibility.
Excitement!
Surprise!
Incredulity!
The person she had thought waspletely dead appeared alive right in front of her!
Even Liang Ruoxu needed a moment topose herself in the face of such a miraculous event.
Actually, I never died, Lin Yi said.
At that time, I had other tasks, so we staged my death.
But the hospital
Lin Yi scratched his head, feeling conflicted.
He wanted to make up an excuse, but facing Liang Ruoxu, he couldnt bring himself to lie.
He imagined the tears she must have shed during this time.
At that moment, I was indeed close to death, with just a faint breath left. It was so weak that neither the machines nor the doctors detected it.
Liang Ruoxus heart raced as her subconscious slowly began to ept this reality.
Then, when did you regain consciousness?
I woke up when I was sent to the crematorium. Lin Yi said.
After Elder Lu found out about this, he beat me at my own game and did not announce that I hade back to life.
After that, there was a long silence in the car. After about a minute, Liang Ruoxu said,
Could the Wang familys situation be your doing?
Lin Yi nodded and didnt hide anything from Liang Ruoxu. Apart from that, there are some matters outside the country that have just been dealt with. If I hadnt met you at this time, would you have returned to Zhonghai? It was about time.
Lin Yi, you b*stard!
Liang Ruoxu waved her small fists and rained them on Lin Yi. Her tears flowed down uncontrobly.
How dare you not tell me that youre not dead? Ill beat you to death!
Liang Ruoxu was really angry. Although they were in the car, she still punched and kicked Lin Yi. Every punch was heavy.
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Be gentle.
Lin Yi tried to dodge, but Liang Ruoxus fist stillnded on him.
It wasnt that he couldnt dodge it, but Lin Yi didnt want to.
He knew that Liang Ruoxu needed to do this to vent the emotions that she was suppressing in her heart!
After such a long time, she needed an outlet to vent.
Ill beat you to death. Who asked you not to tell me in advance?!
Its just that this situation was too bizarre. Coupled with the fact that I have a mission, I really cant tell you much.
Lin Yi reached out and brushed his hand across Liang Ruoxus face.
Dont cry. Im still alive.
This light action shattered Liang Ruoxus mental defense.
She grabbed Lin Yis arm and burst into tears.
She was sobbing uncontrobly, and her sleeves were soaked.
Even Liang Ruoxu herself did not know if she was crying because she was happy or because of other reasons. In short, at this moment, she could not control her tears.
This was the best way for her to vent.
Even though Lin Yiforted her, she still didnt stop. Instead, she cried even louder.
Just like that, more than ten minutes passed before Liang Ruoxus cries finally grew softer.
Dont cry. I promise you that this wont happen again. I wont leave you again.
If you dare to do such a thing again in the future, Ill kill you even if you actually survived!
Lin Yi couldnt help butugh. Liang Ruoxu was always a domineering person.
Gently, Liang Ruoxu wiped away her tears, but the makeup on her face was smudged.
Hurry up and touch up your makeup. Lin Yi smiled.
Lets go eat something. Im hungry.
Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat!
Even though Lin Yi had appeared in front of her again, Liang Ruoxu was still angry. He didnt tell her about such a big matter.
Liang Ruoxu took out some cosmetics from her bag and touched up her makeup. Then, Lin Yi drove out of the Central Guards Brigade.
Along the way, Liang Ruoxus emotions calmed down. Her joy was written all over her face.
She wasnt someone who couldnt understand the bigger picture. Given her upbringing, she understood Lin Yis situation well.
Their ability to operate above the rules of ordinary people came with privileges that werent granted for free.
Naturally, it required sacrifices and silent contributions behind the scenes. Lin Yi had his reasons for this.
Liang Ruoxu booked a private room at a Guandong restaurant.
They both needed a quiet environment to talk.
Although they were there for a meal, neither ate much, only nibbling a bit.
Their conversation centered entirely on the events that had transpired during this time.
From the incident in Panem to the murder of Fosse.
Lin Yi exined everything in detail. He could only tell Liang Ruoxu about these things.
Because she understood the chaos of this world better than herself.
Only then did Liang Ruoxu realize how miserable Lin Yi and Zhou Liang had been in Panem.
She shuddered at the thought of them hiding in the sewers for three days.
Liang Ruoxu grabbed Lin Yis hand tightly.
Dont ever do anything so dangerous again.
As he spoke, Liang Ruoxus grip tightened. If thats the case, Id rather you quit the Central Guards Brigade.
Dontworry, I know what Im doing. Ill definitely be careful in the future. Liang Ruoxu suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yi with a burning gaze. I dont want attention. I want your absolute safety.
Lin Yi felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He didnt say what he wanted to say.
At this point, it was obviously inappropriate to say anything else.
He reached out andbed Liang Ruoxus hair as he looked at her gently.
I can guarantee my own safety. I wont let you worry anymore, let alone be separated from you.
Liang Ruoxu was moved. What she wanted was a promise like Lin Yis.
During this time, she had regretted her actions countless times.
There were many things she didnt have time to do with him. And this time, she didnt want to leave any regrets.
Liang Ruoxu leaned towards Lin Yi and took the initiative to kiss him.
Gentle and passionate
Chapter 1893: Old Daoist Priest
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The two of them hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to melt each other into their bodies.
Lin Yisrge hand was also very naughty as he reached into Liang Ruoxus clothes. Thetter did not resist.
She even moved slightly to make it more convenient.
The atmosphere in the room heated up rapidly.
Ten minutester, their lips parted.
Liang Ruoxus face was slightly red as she panted heavily.
Why dont we go somewhere else? This ce doesnt seem very suitable, Lin Yi smiled.
Well talk about it when we get back!
Liang Ruoxu managed to restrain herself. She knew what he was talking about.
However, this ce was indeed not appropriate.
Have you settled everything in Yanjing? When are you going back to Zhonghai?
Ill be going back in a few days. I still have some other things to do here.
Lin Yi didnt say anything about Li Chuhan.
Although Liang Ruoxu knew what was going on, if he were to say it out loud, the nature of the matter would be different.
Then I wont wait for you. Ill return to Zhonghai tomorrow, Liang Ruoxu said.
Its a lot of work. I have to deal with it quickly.
Ill see you off tomorrow.
Theres no need. Go do your work. Go back quick after youre done.
Liang Ruoxu said in a carefree manner.
Alright, Ill go back to Zhonghai after Im done here.
The atmosphere dissipated, and the two of them began to eat. Then, they went to other ces and had dinner together before sending her back.
After that, Lin Yi returned to the hotel and met up with Li Chuhan. Everything was going in a good direction.
Because they were going out to rx the next day, the three of them woke up early.
Brother Lin, where are we going today?
After getting dressed, Qiao Xin asked.
The most famous ces in Yanjing are the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.
Where do you want to go?
Weve been to both ces before. Lets go somewhere else, Qiao Xin said.
I heard that Yanjings Xiang Mountain is very famous. Shall we go and take a look?
Alright, Ill listen to you guys. Its supposed to be a rxing trip so it doesnt matter where I go.
Sister Li, what do you think? Can we go to Xiang Mountain?
Li Chuhan smiled and nodded. You guys decide. We can go anywhere.
To Li Chuhan, as long as Lin Yi was around, she would be happy no matter where she went.
After confirming their goal, the three of them organized themselves and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, Qiao Xin also bought some fruits and mineral water to eat on the way.
The journey wasnt long, but because of the traffic in Yanjing, it took more than an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
Li Chuhan sat in the front row and chatted with Lin Yi, afraid that he would get sleepy from driving.
Qiao Xin was sleeping soundly at the back, not disturbing anyone.
However, when they arrived at Xiang Mountain, they realized that the scene in front of them could only be described as a sea of people.
I dont think its the peak tourist season in Yanjing. Why are there so many people here? Qiao Xin asked in surprise.
Do the people of Yanjing love to hike so much?
Maybe its because the standard of living is better now, and its the weekend, so there are naturally more people, Li Chuhan said.
But from the looks of these tourists, there seems to be more to it than that.
Hearing Lin Yis words, Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin looked at the other tourists. They realized that many of these people were carrying bags of various sizes. Some people were holding incense, while others were holding small eight trigrams. They looked like they were about to open an altar.
At this moment, the parking lot manager walked over to collect the fee when Qiao Xin took the opportunity to ask,
Brother, I want to ask, what day is it today? Why are there so many people here?
Theres a very effective Daoist temple on the mountain. Moreover, today is an important Hungry Ghost Festival for Daoists, so there are many people visiting. The administrator said,
If it were another day, the number of people would be halved.
Qiao Xin understood what now.
They arrived just in time for a special event.
Brother Lin, should we go up and take a lookter? Qiao Xin asked. We can also pray for Sister Li and ask for blessings.
Bodhisattvas are from Buddhism. This is a Daoist temple. If you go up there asking for a Bodhisattva, you might get chased out.
Uh
Qiao Xinughed awkwardly. Then lets pray to the old deities.
Lets go. Since were here, we should check it out.
Although they came to climb the mountain and rx, Lin Yi was quite interested in the Daoist temple on the mountain.
After all, bing a Daoist priest was his n after finishing his career as a police officer. Checking it out in advance seemed like a good idea.
Lets go.
Following the crowd, the three of them bought tickets and started climbing the mountain.
As the saying goes, when the red leaves of Xiang Mountain are gone, neither you nor I will be disappointed.
Although it wasnt yet the best time to see the red leaves, the scenery at Xiang Mountain was still beautiful.
Because of the Daoist festival, there were a lot of people hiking the mountain, which made the scenery feel a bit less peaceful.
The path up the mountain consisted of stone steps, making it perfect for those who enjoyed hiking and fitness.
Li Chuhan held Lin Yis arm and slowly walked up the mountain while looking at the scenery.
To her, this was the most beautiful scenery.
Qiao Xin followed behind, constantly taking photos with her phone, as if she didnt want to miss any of the views.
This also perfectly reaffirmed the meme that had been circting online for a long time.
Getting into the car to sleep, getting out of the car to pee, and taking photos of scenic spotsthat was what people like Qiao Xin were like.
Brother Lin, Sister Li, hurry up. I think we have a fortune-teller. Lets go over and take a look, Qiao Xin called out from behind.
A fortune-teller?
Yeap, he seems to be an old Daoist priest. He looks like hes doing quite well. They had known each other for more than a year. Lin Yi and Li Chuhan both knew that Qiao Xin was not just a veteran Conan fan.
She also liked these supernatural things very much. When she was in the hospital, when he had nothing to do, he would even take the tarot cards and do readings for the other colleagues.
There were even patients who asked her to check when was suitable for the surgery. She was really magnanimous.
Qiao Xin nodded, then quickened her pace and walked towards a tform in front of her.
The two of them followed behind Qiao Xin.
They were here to rx anyway, so he naturally had to take a look at everything. Although Lin Yi didnt believe in these things, it was no problem to join in the fun.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a person who looked like a Daoist priest sitting calmly on a small stool. In front of him was Zhou Yi, dressed like an otherworldly expert.
The old Daoist priests gaze swept across the tourists one by one. Then, he saw
Qiao Xin walking towards him and naturally muttered to himself,
Thats a nice leg!
At the same time, Qiao Xin had already walked up to him and was half- squatting.
The old Daoist priest stroked his beard and thought to himself,
Your figure is fine too.

Chapter 1894: Even Immortals Have to Eat
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Sir, I want to do a divination. When they reached the stall, Qiao Xin said, How much is the fee?
Hand reading, too each.
The price is okay.
For a high-ie person like Qiao Xin, too yuan for a divination didnt seem expensive.
Moreover, this was the scenic area of Yanjing. It was a good deal.
Sister Li,e quickly.
Qiao Xin called out to Li Chuhan and Lin Yi.
Quick, quick, quick. Come and read my fortune.
Li Chuhan had always been an atheist, so she naturally did not believe in such things.
Its better if you do it. You can use this opportunity to check your future luck, Li Chuhan said with a smile.
Although she didnt believe it, Li Chuhan didnt stop him.
She knew well that in ones life, not every penny could be spent wisely. Sometimes, money had to be wasted on things that brought personal pleasure.
For Qiao Xin, fortune-telling was one such pleasure.
My fortune is tied to yours. When you be the hospital head, I can at least get a position as a department head. So getting your fortune told is important tome.
Qiao Xin pulled Li Chuhan over.
Sir, please tell my sisters fortune.
Qiao Xin took out her phone, and the old Daoist adeptly pulled out a OR code for payment.
Not wanting to miss a chance, Qiao Xin quickly scanned it.
Come on, miss, stretch out your hand.
With the payment done, Li Chuhan extended her hand, curious about what the old Daoist would say.
The old Daoist carefully examined Li Chuhans hand, looking serious and thoughtful. After a moment, he spoke,
Youngdy, your palm is quite extraordinary.
How is it extraordinary? Li Chuhan asked, intrigued.
Its a bit cold. This indicates that you are weak.
With that, the old Taoist pulled out a small paper packet from behind him.
This is my homemade Six-vor Imperial Elixir. Take it for six months, and youll be cured.
Li Chuhan was amused. Are you sure?
Of course its true. Ive been cultivating pills for so many years. Im confident in this. The old Daoist priest said.
If you went to a proper hospital, you wouldnt be able to treat this illness. Fortunately, you met me. Otherwise, your life would be over.
Lin Yi watched the old Daoist with a smile, amused that the fortune-telling session had turned into a medical consultation.
Were Daoists these days expanding their services like this?
He was working so hard, he must be struggling to meet his KPIs this month.
I am the head of cardiology at Huashan Hospital. I know my own condition. Just tell my fortune; I can handle my own health, Li Chuhan said.
Uh head of cardiology?
The old Daoist awkwardly put away his little elixir and forced a smile.
Since you are an expert in that field, lets skip the health talk and continue with the fortune-telling.
The old Daoist took Li Chuhans hand again, examining it closely.
Interesting, interesting. Ive been wandering the world for over thirty years and have never seen a career line like yours. You are destined for great sess.
Lin Yi watched the scene like a spectator at a street performance.
Li Chuhan had already revealed her professional status, so if the Daoist imed she had any career problems, it would discredit him immediately.
Sir, look at my sisters love line.
Qiao Xin spoke up. This was her primary concern and the main reason for the fortune-telling.
The old Taoist nced at Qiao Xin and then smiled warmly. Her hand shows that she will have both a sessful career and a fulfilling love life, with many children and grandchildren in her future.
Qiao Xins eyes twinkled with amusement, and she gave Li Chuhan a yful look.
Sister Li, did you hear that? He said youll have arge, thriving family. Youd better take good care of your health so you can have many children in the future.
Li Chuhan blushed and said in embarrassment,
Its too early to talk about this.
Whats so early about that? With your and Brother Lins physique, wouldnt it be a piece of cake for you to have a child?
Ay, ay, just a few minutes wont do, thats too short, the old Daoist priest said with concern before pulling out a small packet of medicine from his pocket.
This is my carefully crafted Wild Donkey Power Pill. Not for 1999, not for 999, but only for 998. Take it, and I guarantee youll regain your manly vigor.
Lin Yi,
This guy really knew how to seize an opportunity.
He must have worked in sales before bing a priest.
You should focus on the fortune-telling and stop trying to expand your business.
Alright, alright, you paid, so you call the shots.
The old Daoist looked at Li Chuhans hand again, this time his brow furrowing deeply.
Interesting, interesting. Youngdy, your lifeline isnt looking good.
Hmm? Whats wrong with it? Qiao Xin asked nervously.
Having just had a near-death experience, Qiao Xin was particrly sensitive to these matters.
Look here, her lifeline is only two-thirds the length of a normal persons. This is not a good sign, the old Daoist sighed.
Qiao Xin panicked, Sir, is there a way to fix this?
For most people, there would be no solution, but since you met me, its a different story. I have a way to ovee this misfortune.
How do we fix it? Please, sir, help my sister, Qiao Xin asked anxiously.
You young girl, you shouldnt speak carelessly, the old Daoist priest stroked his beard and said seriously.
This is a heavenly secret, not something to be revealed lightly. Otherwise, it would shorten my lifespan.
Im sorry, Old Master. I said something wrong. What should we do? Qiao Xin said nervously.
Now that theres a problem, we cant just do nothing.
If you really want to crack it, theres a way.
What idea? Tell me quickly.
The old Daoist priest stretched out five fingers and gestured in front of Qiao Xin, causing her to be stunned.
Are you referring to Five Fingers Mountain? Are we supposed to go there to pray to Buddha? Is it because you cant look at it yourself that you are pushing us to Buddhism?
5,000 yuan. The old Daoist priest said mysteriously.
For 5,000 yuan, I can help her break through this tribtion. If it werent for the fact that you two are fated, I wouldnt have taken this risk. You have to cherish this opportunity.
5,000 yuan. Its a little expensive. Qiao Xin was a little hesitant.
Even immortals have to make a living.
Oh, oh, I understand. As she spoke, Qiao Xin took out her phone and prepared to transfer the money.
At this moment, Lin Yi grabbed her cor and dragged Qiao Xin away.
Hey, hey, hey. Brother Lin, be gentle. I cant breathe
Lets go, dont waste time here, Lin Yi said.
After all, youre a PhD student from Fudan University. Cant you have somemon sense? How can you believe such words?
Oh, oh. Qiao Xin obediently got up and stopped looking.
Hey, hey, hey, young man, dont go. The old Daoist priest shouted from behind.
Ill give you a discount, 4,000 is fine, and I can extend your girlfriends life by 30 years. I can transfer the money from public to private, and I can also issue an invoice for reimbursement, including value-added tax.
Chapter 1895: Why Dont They Have to Buy a ticket?
Chapter 1895: Why Dont They Have to Buy a ticket?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Brother Lin, he gave us a discount, Qiao Xin said.
Do you have too much money to spend? Do you think hes the Jade Emperor or Guanyin Bodhisattva? How can you believe such words?
But he said that Sister Lis lifespan is short. I dont feelfortable hearing that, Qiao Xin said honestly.
Its all lies. Just have fun with it. Dont take it too seriously, Lin Yi said.
If hes really that awesome, he wouldnt have to read fortunes here.
Qiao Xin suddenly felt that Lin Yis words made sense.
She seemed to have really been cheated of too yuan by that old man.
Lets go somewhere else.
Okay.
The three of them continued walking up the mountain.
Compared to the base of the mountain, there was less natural scenery at the top, but there were manyte Qing Dynasty buildings.
It was said that this was the emperors favorite ce, with many spots marked by his handwritten inscriptions.
While the scenery was a bitcking, the ce had a rich historical atmosphere.
After wandering around the Jingyi Garden on Xiang Mountain for a while, the three of them arrived at the Xiyun Temple.
Upon arrival, they realized what truly crowded meant.
Most people were just there for a quick look, adding to the bustling atmosphere.
The air was filled with the smoky scent of incense, and many people were lined up in front of a huge incense burner, praying for peace.
Seeing this, Qiao Xin couldnt resist. She spent thirty yuan to buy three thin incense sticks, cing them in the burner and offering her prayers.
Brother Lin, Im a bit hungry.
After offering the incense, Qiao Xin patted her stomach.
Lin Yi checked his phone and saw it was already past noon, time for lunch.
ces like this usually have somewhere to eat. Ill go find out.
Lin Yi walked a few steps ahead and found a young Daoist in traditional robes.
After asking about dining options, he returned to the two women.
Theres a dining hall at Xiyun Temple that provides food for visitors. The taste might not be great, though.
Its fine as long as you can fill your stomach. Well go back and have a feast tonight.
Lin Yi didnt care too much. The three of them walked towards the dining hall.
Eh? Theres actually a pill room here?
On the way to dinner, Qiao Xin eximed in surprise. She found it very novel.
Are Daoists still refining pills these days?
Lets go in and take a look.
Sounds good.
Qiao Xin took out two packets of biscuits from her bag and handed one to Li
Chuhan. Sister Li, fill your stomach first.
Im not hungry. You can eat first.
Then Ill leave you to it.
Qiao Xin opened a packet of biscuits and walked towards the pill room not far away.
At this moment, Qiao Xin said in surprise,
Brother Lin, there seems to be a fee for entering the Daoist temple. It doesn t seem like we can enter as we please.
Fine, I can afford it.
The three of them walked closer and saw a sign beside them. They saw that there was a fee sign on it.
The admission ticket for an internal tour was priced at 298 yuan per person, a far cry from the standard 28 yuan ticket.
Although this was supposed to be a serene ce, the pricing seemed to want to extort money from visitors.
However, the high price included a special perk.
The package included lunch, which seemed to be quite decent.
This discovery made Lin Yi feel a bit better about the cost.
Even so, there werent many people interested in the internal tour.
Only two groups were ahead in line. The 298 yuan ticket wasnt cheap, and most visitors were here to enjoy the scenery rather than explore the internal facilities of the Daoist temple, so the queue was short.
Lin Yi took out his phone and joined the line, ready to scan the QR code to pay.
At the front of the line was a couple, around thirty years old, wearing sses and looking schrly.
The couple behaved oddly. While buying tickets, they called the young Daoist aside, whispered something, and then entered the temple without paying.
Tickets are 298 yuan each, so for two people, its 596, the young Daoist saidzily.
Wait a minute. I want to know why those two people went in without paying, but we have to buy tickets.
The middle-aged woman standing in front of Lin Yi and hispanions asked, displeased with the unfairness.
Initially, Lin Yi and his group hadnt paid much attention to the couple. But hearing the middle-aged woman, they realized that the couple indeed seemed to have entered without purchasing tickets.
This was a little strange. After all, they didnt dress like the staff here.
Um
The young Daoist priest in charge of collecting the money was stunned. He did not expect the woman in front of him to ask this question. His expression changed.
Youre different from others. If you want toe in, you have to pay. Otherwise, dont go in.
The middle-aged woman didnt seem to be a kind person either. The other partys attitude made her temper rise.
We all have the same nose and two eyes. Wiry should we pay?!
The middle-aged woman said, Believe it or not, Ill call and report you right now!
You!
The young Daoist priest was a little flustered. If he was reported, he wouldnt be able to do business in the Daoist temple.
After weighing the pros and cons, the young Daoist priest said to the couple who had just left,
Can you twoe back for a while?
Hearing someone calling him from behind, the couple walking in front turned around. One of the men said,
Are you calling us?
Yes, yes, yes. The young Daoist priests attitude improved a little. He said in a difficult manner,
Youd bettere and buy the tickets.
Tickets?
The bespectacled mans expression did not look too good. Didn 11 already show you my identification? Why must I still buy tickets?
Well said the young Daoist.
Its mainly because they saw that you didnt buy tickets. They are raising a fuss so I cant do my job.
The bespectacled man narrowed his eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman who had lined up behind him just now. He walked over angrily and took out his identification card.
Im a civil servant. I dont need to buy a ticket toe here. Do you have a problem with that?
Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the other partys ID. He couldnt help but purse his lips when he saw that it was a city enforcement officer.
Could a city enforcement officer be so pretentious?
They didnt even need to buy a ticket to visit the scenic area?
If he took out his documents, would the whole temple start worshiping him?
So what if youre a city enforcement officer? This isnt your house! Why can you avoid buying tickets?
The middle-aged woman disyed her extraordinarybat strength and didnt give in at all.
Let me tell you, if they dont buy the tickets, we wont buy them either. Otherwise, Ill report you!
Chapter 1896: Opportunities Are Earned
Chapter 1896: Opportunities Are Earned
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The middle-aged womans argument attracted a lot of attention.
They all wanted to know what had happened.
Seeing that there were more onlookers, the young Daoist priest panicked.
He had juste here to work. It was his daily job to collect tickets here. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
Forced into a corner, the young Daoist said,
Youd better hand over the tickets. Otherwise, I wont be able to do my job.
The bespectacled mans face turned cold as he scolded the middle-aged woman.
Are you f*cking crazy? Let me tell you, donte to such a ce if you re poor. Dont make things difficult for yourself. Be careful or I wont let you stay in Yanjing anymore.
Seeing the fierce-looking man in sses, the middle-aged woman became a
little timid.
Bro, watch your image. This is a scenic spot, Lin Yi said.
Seeing that someone had stepped forward, the bespectacled mans gazended on Lin Yi.
What does it have to do with you? Stinky outsider, get lost. This is Yanjing, not
a ce for stinky beggars like you. Get lost!
Who are you talking about?!
Qiao Xin was furious. You look like a dog, but why dont you have any manners
when you speak? Didnt your parents ever tell you what manners are?!
The bespectacled mans eyes narrowed. Let me tell you, be more respectful when you speak. I see that youre a woman and dont want to argue with you.
Dont be shameless.
Honey, dont talk nonsense with them.
The bespectacled mans wife walked up and said to the middle-aged woman
and Qiao Xin,
Im giving you face, so just ept it. You are outsiders in Yanjing, so behave yourself. This isnt your home. If you talk nonsense, Ill p you!
With that, the young woman gestured at Qiao Xin, as if she really wanted to hit
her.
Li Chuhan quickly pulled Qiao Xin to his side and shielded her behind her.
Lin Yis expression wasnt very good as he looked at the two of them.
They say that fish look for fish, prawns look for prawns, and turtles look for
turtles. The two of you are really a perfect match.
Originally, the bespectacled man thought that he had subdued the two of them and was prepared to go in with his wife to take the tour.
Unexpectedly, the man who was in the way just now stood up again.
Whats wrong? Are you still not convinced after being scolded a few times?
Why dont you take a p*ss and look at yourself in the puddle?
Lin Yis expression was calm. A simple document in your hand, and you re acting so pretentious?
Thats right. Are you jealous? The bespectacled man said arrogantly.
Im telling you, I have this ID, which means that Im awesome and that Im superior to others. I have an iron rice bowl that I wont have to worry about ie for the rest of my life. Moreover, we live in the second ring of Yanjing and are from this city. Do you have any objections? Even if you dont like it, you have to endure it.
Sure enough, bugs can be found everywhere.
For a long time, Lin Yi had always liked the people of Yanjing.
However, not everyone here was forthright and magnanimous. The person in front of him was a perfect example of this.
However, this person could be considered a weirdo.
With the current social atmosphere, anyone with a lowly status would keep a low profile. They were afraid of provoking others and losing their jobs.
On the other hand, he had a lousy job but was showing off everywhere.
How did such a brainless person get this job?
who the f*ck are you talking about? Do you believe that Ill beat you up?
Just as the bespectacled man was about to attack, Lin Yi kicked him.
He kicked the other party a few meters away.
Hubby!
The bespectacled mans wife ran over and helped him up. How are you? Are
you alright?
The bespectacled man held his chest and pointed at Lin Yi fiercely.
What the f*ck
The bespectacled man stopped mid-sentence.
Because he saw the ID in Lin Yis hand, the military ID!
When they saw the photo and his position, the man with the sses and his wife immediately broke out in cold sweat, as if the sky had copsed.
This persons rank was too terrifying.
You should have checked properly, Lin Yi said.
You said you had an iron rice bowl, but thats gone now. As for who will handle you, I dont know, but someone will. Just wait for the news. As for the ticket, if you dont want to buy it, thats fine. A few hundred yuan is nothing. I can cover it for you as a parting gift.
The man with sses shivered.
Sir, please calm down. Dont take it out on me, the man with sses pleaded.
I know I was wrong. I shouldnt have unted my status here. Please give me another chance. I promise I wont do it again.
Opportunities are earned. If you dont cherish them when you have them, you cant me anyone else, Lin Yi replied.
Also, I suggest you two leave quickly. Otherwise, the consequences could be
more severe.
The expressions of the couple with sses fell.
They never dreamed they would encounter someone who could ruin their future so thoroughly.
The couple slinked away dejectedly, and the onlookers cheered.
Though they didnt know Lin Yis identity, seeing the arrogant couple dealt with was satisfying.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, and the entrance returned to its usual quiet.
After all, the 298 yuan ticket wasnt cheap, and not everyone was willing to pay
it.
Lin Yi wanted to go in because he was nning to be a Daoist priest and wanted to see what a real Daoist temple looked like.
The three of them bought tickets again, and the young Daoist priests attitude improved greatly.
He could not afford to offend such a person. It was better to be polite.
After entering the Daoist temple, they found two rows of rooms.
These were all Daoist priests living in the temple.
Compared to the noisy scenery outside, this ce was much quieter.
Not many people came here to visit.
Qiao Xin excitedly pulled Li Chuhan towards the alchemy room in the Daoist temple.
The alchemy room was not big. As soon as he entered, he could smell the smell of Chinese medicine.
In addition, there were many portraits here. These were all pictures of Daoist ancestors, creating a sense of solemnity.
Passing the room at the front door, the three of them walked toward the courtyard at the back.
However, before they could step into the courtyard, they heard a familiar voice.
How much did you sell?
I sold it 800.
I did 1300.
You two arecking. I sold more than 3,000 yuan worth this morning. If I work hard in the afternoon, I think I can break through the 5,000 yuan barrier. Come,e,e. Hurry up and pay the taxes. Each of you must hand over 80%. The rest will be yourmission.
Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin felt a little awkward when they identally saw the scene where the people were splitting spoils.
However, after taking a closer look, they realized that the person who spoke was the old Daoist priest who had read their fortune just now!

Chapter 1897: A Chance to Make a Fortune
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
At the same time, the old Daoist priest who was splitting the revenue with his subordinates also saw Lin Yi and the others.
Yo, young man, youre here. Have you thought it through?
The old Daoist priest walked over with a smile. Since youre here, I take it that youre sincere. Ill give you a cheaper price. 3,000 yuan to help your girlfriend break through that barrier. In the future, everything will definitely be smooth sailing and youll be safe. You can also get an invoice.
Save it. Lin Yi said.
I saw how you split the spoils. Be careful or Ill report you.
The other Daoist masters looked at Lin Yi warily, clearly wary of him.
Only the old Daoist priest didnt care.
If Lin Yi really wanted to report him, he wouldnt show this attitude.
Little brother, calm down. Theres no need to make things so awkward. Were allmoners. Even immortals need incense. Were also forced to make a living.
The old Daoist priests attitude was very good. Firstly, he was afraid that Lin Yi would report them and cause a scandal.
Secondly, they probably had some money since they could spend a lot of money to visit this ce.
It was better to be polite to such a person.
If you have nothing else to do, just show us around.
Theres not much to see, really. Our alchemy room is the only interesting ce; the rest is pretty much the same everywhere.
The old Daoists words confirmed that Xiyun Temple was more about scams than anything else.
However, this was a voluntary matter. After all, no one was being forced.
With that, the old Daoist led Lin Yi and his twopanions around the alchemy room, exining the strange items inside. Lin Yi listened carefully and got a general understanding of the ce.
He figured that when he eventually became a Daoist priest, his situation wouldnt be much different from this.
After all, Xiyun Temple was one of therger Daoist temples in Huaxia.
Many other ces werent even as good as this.
Sir, isnt this an alchemy room? Why is there mercury here? Isnt it highly toxic? Lin Yi asked.
Youngdy, you dont understand, the old Daoist said smugly.
This is an essential ingredient for refining elixirs. Its very valuable.
Elixirs? Qiao Xins eyes lit up. In this modern society, are there still such things as elixirs? Can consuming them make you immortal?
Um
The old Daoist priests expression paused and he said seriously,
If you dont die after eating these things, its no different from bing an immortal.
Lin Yi.
Qiao Xin,
Sorry for bothering you.
Then, the three of them walked around other ces and realized that it was already past one oclock. They prepared to go eat first and continue shopping in the afternoon.
You guys go eat first. We have an event at two in the afternoon. If you have nothing to do,e over and take a look. Its only once a year. If you miss it, youll have to wait another year for the next one.
What event?
Qiao Xin asked curiously.
The performance of the Hungry Ghost Festival is mainly to showcase Daoist culture, but dont worry, theres no charge. You can watch it for free.
Alright, welle and take a look after eating.
After bidding farewell to the old Daoist priest, the three of them arrived at the dining hall of Xiyun Temple.
Lin Yi originally thought that there would be fewer people here if he skipped meal time, but he quickly realized that he was too naive.
Although it was already past one oclock, there was still an endless stream of people here.
Fortunately, they had bought the 298-yuan tickets earlier, and upon presenting the ticket receipt, they were secretly given a fast pass, allowing them to skip the queue.
Because they had purchased the VIP tickets, the three of them received preferential treatment.
There were over a dozen dishes avable for them to eat, but most were quite nd and watery, not even as satisfying as a 20-yuan meal box from outside.
The three of them didntin much, as they were there to enjoy the scenery, not the food.
Meanwhile, two Daoist-like individuals appeared at the entrance.
One of them, around fifty years old, wore sses and had slightly dark skin but looked very energetic.
His name was Zhang Yanjun, the head of Xiyun Temple.
He came from a poor family and became a Daoist at the age of eighteen.
Using the deceptive skills he learned from his master, he had now established a rtively decent life for himself.
From another perspective, Zhang Yanjun could be considered talented.
Without him, Xiyun Temple wouldnt have achieved its current scale.
It could be said that the current sess of Xiyun Temple was inseparable from his persuasion.
Standing next to Zhang Yanjun was a young Daoist.
Dressed in a brand-new Daoist robe, his skin was dark, making him look a bit older, but he seemed to be in his twenties.
Little Zhu, Ill be counting on you for the eventter, Zhang Yanjun said.
The young Daoist priests name was Zhu Jinwoo. He used to practice mixed martial arts, and his physical fitness was top-notch.
The two of them met in a mixed martial artspetition. It was also at that time that Zhu Jinwoo realized that the money earned as a Daoist priest was more than what he earned from fighting. From then on, he joined Xiyun Temple to be a Daoist priest.
Although his ie did not increase significantlypared to before, he could earn money every day with just a few words. This was much better than risking his life to earn money.
Therefore, he could be considered to have joined the Dao Sect wholeheartedly now.
Dont worry, theres no problem at all. When the event starts, Ill show them my skills. I guarantee that Ill make them dumbfounded and very willing to pay
Just make sure you master the three routines I taught you, and everything will be fine, Zhang Yanjun said.
In short, just two words: trick them to death.
Brother Jun, thats four words.
Dont sweat the details, Zhang Yanjun said earnestly, then nced at the dining hall. Look around, its already past one, and people still have to wait for a table. This means there are a lot of visitors today. If we can fool these people well, todays earnings will be enough for you to buy an ord.
Got it, Zhu Zhenyu said.
Ive thrown many fake punches before, so trust my acting skills.
Im relieved hearing that.
With that, Zhang Yanjun, hands sped behind his back, said, Lets go. Its about time we got ready.
As the two were about to leave, a loud cry echoed through the dining hall.
Yangyang, be careful! Watch where youre going! Dont run around.
Thud!
A boy, around ten years old, crashed into arge pir while ying with another child and fell to the ground.
He froze for a second before bursting into tears from the pain.
Seeing this, Zhang Yanjuns eyes lit up, sensing a moneymaking opportunity.
Quick, quick, quick, this is our chance to make a fortune. Go check it out!
Chapter 1898: The Future Is Bright
Chapter 1898: The Future Is Bright
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
A chance to make a fortune?
Zhu Jinwoos reaction was half a beat slower. He didnt understand what Zhang Yanjun meant.
That child has been holding his arm. Hes probably injured. Lets go take a look and rmend the ointment my master made to them. This is like picking up money for free. We cant waste this opportunity.
Zhu Jinwoos eyes lit up. I understand what you mean.
As he spoke, Zhu Jin-woo tidied his Daoist robe and walked towards the injured little boy.
At the same time, Lin Yi and the other two, who were eating, saw this scene.
As doctors, Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin immediately stood up when they saw that someone was injured.
Lin Yi didnt stay idle and prepared to go over and take a look as well.
But looking at the state he was in, there were only two possibilities. Either hed broken a bone or dislocated it.
But in either case, the problem was not serious.
Little kid, dont move. Ill help you check it.
Qiao Xin stepped forward and helped the little boy up. Her mother was already crying beside him.
You guys make way first. Ill take a look.
The person who spoke was Zhu Jinwoo. He had a faint smile on his face and looked like an otherworldly expert.
Its Mr. Breeze.
Seeing Zhang Yanjun standing behind Zhu Jinwoo, the people who were eating with him all stood up to greet him.
Mister Breeze was Zhang Yanjuns daoist name.
Zhang Yanjun nodded calmly and said to the little boys mother,
This is my disciple. Let him take a look.
Alright, alright, alright. Thank you.
Seeing that the little boys mother wanted Zhu Jinwoo to examine the child, Qiao Xin didnt show any warmth and moved aside.
Zhu Jinwoo walked up to the little boy and touched his right arm. Thetter cried in pain like a pig being ughtered.
However, Zhu Jinwoo was unmoved. His expression turned ugly.
Seeing Zhu Jinwoos expression, the little boys mother was terrified.
Sir, is my son seriously injured?
Hes not doing very well. I think his bones are fractured. Hes in very serious condition.
Fractured!
The little boys mothers eyes widened. Its just a bump. How could his bones be fractured?
Childrens bones are different from adults. They are rtively brittle, so they are more likely to be injured when they are hit, Zhu Jinwoo said.
Based on the current situation, if we go to the hospital, even if hes cured, there will be side effects in the future. Sigh
Upon hearing that there would be side effects, the little boys mother almost fainted and cried even harder.
The child was only ten years old. If there were any side effects in the future, wouldnt his life be over?
Sir, is there any other way? Quickly treat my son, the little boys mother cried.
Zhang Yanjun stood behind Zhu Jinwoo. He had been by Zhu Jinwoos side for a few months, but thetter already had the ability to deceive others. His future was promising!
Our Xiyun Temple does have a unique secret recipe, but our temple has a rule that only insiders can use it, so
Rules are inanimate, but people are alive. After something like this happened, you cant just leave him be.
Sigh, thats true. After all, it happened here, so we naturally have to take responsibility. However, this unique secret recipe costs 81 materials. It has to be refined for 49 days to obtain half a pound of divine medicine, so the price Money isnt a problem. Although were not very rich, we can still fork out a hundred or two hundred thousand.
Since youre so sincere, Ill make an exception today and take out this unique secret medicine for you to use.
After saying that, Zhu Jinwoo called out to a young Daoist priest beside him.
Go and bring out all the secret medicines in my room. You have to be fast. If youre a little slower, Im afraid itll be toote.
Got it. Ill go now.
Go. Zhu Jinwoo waved his hand casually. You must be fast.
In order to act more convincingly, he pushed his acting skills to its peak.
Theres no need to go through so much trouble.
Just as he was burning with anxiety, Lin Yi spoke. He grabbed the boys arm and pulled it up. Then, they heard the sound of bones shifting.
What are you doing!
The little boys mother eximed.
Im treating your son, Lin Yi said, Hes fine now.
Done?
Everyone looked at the little boy and was surprised to find that he, who had been wailing just now, actually acted as if nothing had happened and was no longer showing any emotion.
Son, how are you? Does your arm still hurt? The little boys mother quickly asked.
It doesnt hurt anymore. The boy tried to move his arms. It doesnt hurt at all.
As long as it doesnt hurt anymore.
However, at this moment, everyones gazesnded on Zhu Jinwoo.
He had just said that the little boys bones were fractured. Now, someone had easily fixed him.
What was going on?
Zhang Yanjun and Zhu Jinwoos expressions changed slightly.
They could all tell that the little boys arm had simply been dislocated. That was why they wanted to take this opportunity to scam him.
Then, he would quietly put the dislocated part back in ce. In the end, he would say that it was the magical effect of the secret medicine. This way, they could pull off the scam.
Unexpectedly, an irksome fellow appeared and ruined his ns!
Zhu Jinwoo didnt panic. Instead, he thought of something and said,
I could tell just now that his arm was dislocated, but to me, dislocation is easy to deal with, so I didnt say much. The most serious aspect is the injury on his arm. That requires attention.
Hearing that his injuries had not recovered, the little boys mother became nervous again. Do you need any other treatment?
Theres no need.
Before Zhu Jinwoo could speak, Li Chuhan spoke first. She couldnt stand it anymore.
Were doctors from Huashan Hospital. We can stake our reputation to guarantee that your child will be fine. Now that the dislocated part has returned to its original position, there wont be any major problems or sde effects. However, I still suggest that you go to a professional hospital for a checkup.
When they heard that Li Chuhan was a doctor from Huashan Hospital, everyone looked at her in surprise.
Although this was Yanjing, Huashan Hospital was well-known throughout the country. Even in a foreignnd, many people knew about it.
Li Chuhan had asked them to go for a follow-up because she was being cautious.
With her clinical experience, such a small injury would be fine even if they didnt go for a check-up.
Thats what I meant too.
Zhu Jin-woo said, Its safer to go for a check-up.
Alright, alright, alright. Well go now. Thank you so much.
Youre wee. This is what we should do, Zhu Jinwoo said with a smile.
LinYi,
What the f*ck did you do!?
Chapter 1899: Daoist Internal Force
Chapter 1899: Daoist Internal Force
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
The little boys mother thanked them profusely and took her son for a checkup.
Throughout the entire process, she did not seem to realize that he was the one who had been deceived.
She wasnt the only one. The others in the dining hall didnt seem to notice that Zhu Jinwoo was a swindler. They even felt that he was an otherworldly expert.
There was even a hint of admiration in their eyes when they looked at him. On the other hand, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan, who had done the actual treatment, did not receive much attention.
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. He felt that these people should go back and redo their nine years ofpulsory education.
It was truly like Jiang Taigong fishingthose willing to take the bait, did so willingly.
Seeing that they hadnt been exposed, Zhang Yanjun and Zhu Jinwoo didnt linger.
After greeting the people present, they left the dining hall to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Compared to earlier, their expressions had changed noticeably.
Damnit, where did that guye from and ruin my n! Zhu Jinwoo cursed.
The woman was already hooked. I could have easily swindled a few thousand yuan, but he messed it all up!
Maybe you werent meant to earn that money.
Zhang Yanjun was much calmer than Zhu Jinwoo.Forget about it. At least we didnt get caught. Those people still have a good impression of you. During the Hungry Ghost Festival performanceter, we might achieve even better results. Thats the real opportunity to make money.
Zhu Jinwoo nodded. Ill go prepare for the performance. Whether I can get a new car this year depends on it.
And whether I can upgrade to a new vi depends on your performance today.
Leave it tome.
Inside the dining hall, people finished their meals and left one by one.
They prepared to watch the uing Hungry Ghost Festival.
However, Lin Yi and his twopanions werent in a hurry. They continued eating leisurely.
For them, the outing was meant to be rxing and spontaneous, so there was no need to rush.
Brother Lin, why do I feel like this Daoist temple is a gathering ce for scammers?
As Qiao Xin ate, she whispered,
I feel like theyre not even as smooth as that old Daoist priest.
This kind of ce is basically like this, Lin Yi said.
Not to mention Daoist temples, even other temples are like this. Dont look at those Daoist priests and monks. They usually dont dress well, but in reality, they earn more than you.
Are you serious? It cant be that bad, right? Qiao Xin said in surprise.
Sister Li and I are considered high-ie people now. They actually earn more than the two of us?
Of course, so if youe to such a ce again, just watch the show. Dont spend money.
These people are too much. Why doesnt the government care? Qiao Xin said indignantly.
Theres nothing they can do about this. They didnt force us to buy or sell it. It was these people who took the initiative to give it to them. Even if they were cheated, they cant me anyone else.
Oh, oh, got it. Qiao Xin pursed her lips, not understanding these people.
About twenty minutester, the three of them finished eating and prepared to go see what the Hungry Ghost Festival was like.
The dining hall was not far from the ce where the Hungry Ghost Festival was held. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived.
In front of the main hall was a ce that was half the size of a football field. Colorful gs were hung all around it, and it was abnormally lively.
When the three of them arrived, the performance of the Hungry Ghost Festival had already begun.
Just like what the old Daoist priest said, the so-called Hungry Ghost Festival was just a show to expand the influence of Daoism among the people.
Qiao Xin pulled Li Chuhan and Lin Yi to the front row.
The performance was a sword dance performance by a group of Daoist priests.
Although there were many scammers in Xiyun Temple, the current program was still decent. It even helped the people dpress.
The sword dance performance ended, and next was a performance on the Shuqin.
Although this was a Daoist temple, the performers were a group of slender, long-legged women, all above average in both looks and figure.
Lin Yi thought that the temples god must be quite a character.
If things continued like this, Daoists in Huaxia would definitely be more mainstream.
After the Shuqin performance, it was time for the blessing ceremony.
This was the highlight of the Hungry Ghost Festival, as everyone wanted to receive some blessings for peace and safety in theing days.
For the Daoist temple, the blessing ceremony was one of the key events they meticulously prepared for.
Not because they were genuinely wishing for the peoples well-being, but because it was an opportunity to sell items.
The cheapest items were priced at 89 yuan each, while the most expensive ones were over ten thousand yuan.
Yet, people were still enthusiastic, willingly opening their wallets.
The blessing ceremonysted for about half an hour. At this point, the temples abbot, Zhang Yanjun, dressed in Daoist robes, appeared before the crowd.
With a smile and an air of benevolence, he looked as if he had the entire world in his grasp.
In order to help everyone better understand Daoist culture, the next program is a demonstration of traditional Daoist martial arts, passed down through generations at Xiyun Temple. Please enjoy.
After Zhang Yanjun finished speaking, the audience below apuded thunderously.
Compared to those artistic programs, they preferred hardcore performances in martial arts.
Zhang Yanjun left the stage while Zhu Jinwoo walked onto the stage.
It immediately caused waves of exmations.
Isnt that the master who saved the kid just now?
I didnt expect him to be the one to show off his kung fu this time.
Hes really amazing. Not only is his medical skills brilliant, but his martial arts are also powerful. As expected of an expert.
Hearing the discussions, Lin Yi and Qiao Xins faces darkened.
Did they leave their brains at home when they went out?
Seeing the reaction of the people below the stage, Zhu Jinwoo smiled.
The more fanatical the people below were and the more they admired him, the easier it would be for him to earn their money.
Everyone, calm down. The performance is about to begin.
After Zhu Jinwoo finished speaking, two Daoists came onto the stage, carrying a pre-welded iron frame about two meters high, resembling a horizontal bar in a school gym.
At the same time, another person brought out three red bricks, tightly tied together with a rope, and hung them from the iron frame about a meter above the ground.
Once everything was set up, the others left the stage, and Zhu Zhenyu stood center stage and spoke.
Next, I will demonstrate our unique Daoist internal force by kicking and breaking these three bricks with one kick.
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of exmations arose from the audience.
Their eyes were filled with anticipation.
When the excitement reached its peak, Zhu Zhenyu took a deep breath.
Then, with a sudden fierce look in his eyes, he leaped and swung his leg at the bricks hanging in midair!
ng, ng, ng!
With one powerful kick, Zhu Zhenyu shattered the three bricks tied together, creating an exceptionally impressive scene.
Chapter 1900: Invitation to the Stage
Chapter 1900: Invitation to the Stage
Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Seeing this scene,
The audience widened their eyes and opened their mouths. This scene was indescribably shocking to them.
A kick could shatter three bricks. This was not something an ordinary person could do.
The Daoists internal force was indeed worthy of its reputation.
Hearing the cheers of the audience below, Zhang Yanjun revealed a satisfied expression.
He felt that recruiting Zhu Jinwoo to Xiyan Temple three months ago was definitely the right thing to do.
Other than a martial arts practitioner like him, no one else had the ability to shatter three bricks with a single kick!
Moreover, this was only the appetizer. The two programs that followed were even more eye-opening. This way, they would not have to worry about selling the things in the Daoist temple.
Brother Lin, is there really such a thing as internal force?
Dont listen to his nonsense, Lin Yi said, Even if there is, its not something someone like him can control.
Lin Yi had discussed internal energy with Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che when he was bored.
Then, he came to the conclusion that internal force was actually a way to exert force in the dantian.
In other words, it made sense to say that Lin Yi and the others had internal force.
However, a person like Zhu Jinwoo was only bragging. It was impossible for him to exert strength in his dantian.
He managed to kick through three bricks with one strike, showing a decent level of skill, so he must have been a martial artist.
I still think its a bit of a scam, Qiao Xin said. Its definitely just for show.
Thats why we should just enjoy the spectacle without taking it too seriously. As they spoke, someone nearby interjected.
Buddy, I think youre right. This kind of stuff only fools ordinary people. Anyone with a bit of education wouldnt fall for it. Thankfully, its free. If I had to pay, I definitely wouldnt havee.
The speaker, standing beside them, was a short, dark-skinned man with a disdainful expression.
Seems like theres someone else who saw through it, Qiao Xin said with a giggle.
The man chuckled. Like your friend said, were just here for the entertainment. Dont take it seriously.
Yeah, yeah.
What are you talking about? The master is demonstrating inner force, and youre here making sarcasticments. Do you think this makes you look clever? Let me tell you, your behavior is just attention-seeking!
Hearing the sudden outburst, Lin Yi and hispanions turned to see a middle-aged woman in her forties.
She was ring at them as if they hadmitted an unforgivable crime.
Are we wrong? The dark-skinned man responded.
He just kicked through three bricks, nothing special.
Take a closer look. The Daoist priest is wearing cloth shoes, almost like being barefoot. Despite that, the fact that he could break three bricks shows how impressive his skill is!
Shes right!
Another middle-aged man joined the conversation, siding with the woman. Interestingly, he wore something resembling a Daoist robe, suggesting he was an enthusiast of Daoist culture.
Those three bricks were suspended in mid-air. When kicked, much of the force was dissipated. Without inner force, its impossible to break them. You people are just showing off and trying to steal the spotlight.
Oh,e on. Inner force, outer forceits all a scam. I bet I could do it too.
It s all just a trick, the dark-skinned man retorted.
The ck-skinned mans words immediately caused an uproar.
The people standing around him started denouncing him and Lin Yi. For a moment, the orderly scene became noisy.
On the stage, Zhu Jinwoo was waiting to enjoy the envy and cheers of others. He did not expect the people below to actually start arguing.
Looking over, he was surprised to find that the troublemaker was actually the person who had ruined his n just now!
He immediately narrowed his eyes as his gaze rippled with anger.
Just now, he was the one who stood up and ruined his ns. Now, he was doing it again!
He really had to teach him a lesson!
Stop, stop, stop. Everyone, calm down.
Seeing that the situation below the stage was getting more and more chaotic,
Zhu Jinwoo stepped forward to stop it.
Soon, themotion below the stage stopped. Zhu Jinwoo looked at Lin Yi and the dark-skinned man.
We Daoists never reject foreign voices that nder us. If the two of you have any doubts about the internal force I disyed, you can tell me.
The dark-skinned man looked disdainful. Theres nothing much to say. I just feel that the things youre performing have nothing to do with inner force. Dont lie to me.
It has nothing to do with internal force?
Zhu Jin-woo wasnt angry. He turned to look at Lin Yi. Sir, do you think so too?
Lin Yi shrugged. Thats right.
Daoist priest, the man just now said that he could also break three bricks. Let him go up and try. Show him what true Daoist internal strength is! The middle-aged man in a Daoist robe said.
Zhu Jinwoo nodded calmly and did not refuse.
I think this fellow Daoist is right. If the two of you have doubts about my level, you cane up and give it a try. Then, you will know yourself if Im using Daoist internal force.
In the face of such a situation, Zhu Jinwoo was not afraid. In fact, he had absolute confidence.
Beforeing to Xiyan Temple, he was a famous fighter in the martial arts circle. His level was very high.
That was why he could shatter three bricks with a single kick.
If it was an ordinary person, or even someone with a lower level, it would be impossible to do this!
Only someone like him who had practiced for years could do it!
When they came upter, forget three bricks, not a single one would shatter!
Zhu Jinwoos words made everyones attention fall on Lin Yi and the dark- skinned man.
Dont you think youre very powerful? The Daoist priest has already invited
you to go on stage. If you have the guts, go up.
Youd better admit that youre ying to the gallery. How embarrassing!
Thats the kind of people I hate the most. When theyre down there, they dare to say anything, but when they see the real thing, they cant move. One look and I can tell theyre typical keyboard warriors!
Faced with everyones criticism, the dark-skinned mans expression was abnormally ugly. He whispered to Lin Yi,
Dude, do you dare to go up?
Why wouldnt I? Lin Yi smiled.
Lets expose this fake Daoist together.
Im in.
Lin Yi initially just wanted to watch the show. If people wanted to believe it, that was their choice. He didnt feel obligated to educate them.
However, now that he was under the spotlight, he realized that if he didnt do something, he might get drowned in a sea of criticism.
Lets go!
The dark-skinned man shouted to the surrounding crowd.
Clear the way! Were going up now!

Seeing that the two of them were really going up, the surrounding crowd made way with gloating expressions.
They felt that these two people were really not afraid of death.
Quietly, Li Chuhan grabbed Lin Yis hand, and Lin Yi responded quietly.
Dont worry. Just watch from below.
After hearing Lin Yis promise, Li Chuhan let go.
Lin Yi and the dark-skinned man went on stage together and stood in the middle.
During this process, the two of them even exchanged a few words. Lin Yi also had some understanding of the dark-skinned man.
His name was Wang Shuang, and he worked at a construction site.
After the two of them got on the stage, Zhu Jinwoo looked at the people below the stage and smiled.
Is there anyone else who doubts our Daoist martial arts? If there is, you can step forward at this time because there are still two performances to be performed to prevent you from questioning.
The hundreds of people below the stage did not react.
In their opinion, Zhu Jinwoos performance was the purest form of Daoist Kung Fu.
It was impossible for an ordinary person to kick three bricks while wearing a pair of cloth shoes.
Moreover, the three bricks were suspended in midair.
When he kicked it, more than half of his strength would be reduced.
He had to use Daoist internal force to do this.
They would not ept any doubts or rebuttals.
The two people on the stage actually dared to question him. They were definitely asking for trouble.
Seeing no reaction from the people below the stage, Zhu Jinwoo smiled and looked at the two of them.
It seems that only the two of you question my martial arts. However, it doesnt matter. Our Daoist martial arts will ept any doubts and challenges.
Wang Shuang stood where he was without saying a word. Being watched by so many people made him a little nervous.
Youre just ordinary people. You dont understand the internal energy of Daoism. It will be a little difficult for you to break three bricks with your kicks. Zhu Jinwoo said casually.
So now, as long as you can break a single brick, you will win this round. You shouldnt have any problem with these rules, right?
No problem.
Wang Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. If he really had to break these three bricks, it would be a little difficult.
However, he felt that it wouldnt be a problem to break just a single brick.
When he was at the construction site, he often did hardbor. He should be strong enough to do this.
Since none of you have any objections, Ill get my junior brother to prepare.
Zhu Jinwoo turned around and called out. The young Daoist priest below the stage came up with another brick and tied it back to the iron frame with a rope.
Zhu Jinwoo made an inviting gesture.
Everything is ready. The two of you can begin.
Wang Shuang nudged Lin Yi, Bro, you look quite pretty. You probably work in the office most of the time. Im stronger than you. Ill go up and investigate it for you, then you can just follow my instructions.
Alright, Ill listen to you. Lin Yi smiled.
Wang Shuang nodded and walked to the metal frame. His expression also became serious.
However, the people below the stage did not care. They were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
A few secondster, Wang Shuang kicked.
However, the brick did not shatter. Instead, it swung in a parabolic arc and flew into the air before shing back violently. There were no signs of it shattering.
Seeing this scene, the audience below burst intoughter.
Look at what I said. Its obvious that hes just a keyboard warrior who only dares to act arrogantly below the stage.
He even said that he could break three bricks into pieces. Great, not a single one of them shattered. Im embarrassed for him.
On the stage, Wang Shuangs expression copsed.
In his view, breaking a single brick with his strength shouldnt be a problem, but he was surprised when it didnt happen.
Lin Yi stood silently beside him, expecting this oue.
Because of the way the bricks were arranged, the force couldnt be fully transmitted to them, making it impossible to break them.
Zhu Jinwoos im of possessing Daoist inner force was an exaggeration.
