Chapter 2208: Chapter 2209: Trouble May Arise
“Lee Yongjin asked out to dinner?”
This ssage took Lin Yi by surprise.
Because before this, they had only talked over the phone.
She didn’t seem to have ntioned it.
“It’s not about having dinner, but she’s coming over to talk about a project, so we took the opportunity to schedule a eting and planned to invite you to attend.”
“When is your eting?”
“Tomorrow night, you should be able to make it back, right?” Ji Qingyan asked tentatively.
“Definitely, I’ll have everything handled by today.”
“Good, call when you get back.”
“OK.”
After a brief chat, Lin Yi hung up the phone.
He toyed with his mobile phone, wondering what Lee Yongjin had up her sleeve.
From both the status and position, Ji Qingyan and she were unequal.
He guessed that her coming to China this ti was not solely for the wine; her real purpose was probably to find him.
But with that woman’s temperant and nature, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to co over if it wasn’t for sothing very important.
Lin Yi stroked his chin, feeling quite perplexed by the affair.
As for what it was specifically, he would have to wait until he got back to find out.
Afterward, Lin Yi called Qi Xianzhao and Caie Mitsui.
The tasks he had assigned them before could now be put into action.
The fall of the Pengcheng Chamber of Comrce was going to trigger a series of chain reactions.
Both the main board and the small and dium-sized board would be affected.
This called for so representative enterprises to step up at this ti to stabilize the situation, to mitigate the impact of the downfall of the Pengcheng Chamber of Comrce.
After calling both of them, Lin Yi hesitated, but in the end, he did not make a call to Lee Yongjin.
Since she was preparing to co to Zhong Hai, there was no need for too much communication, and it would be tily to speak face to face if there was an issue.
He simply sent her an email, with a very simple ssage, two words only:
“Action.”
With that, all matters concerning Pengcheng were settled.
Lin Yi stretched lazily, feeling waves of fatigue wash over him.
He had originally thought it was just an ordinary case of missing persons.
He never expected it to lead to so many complicated issues.
It left him feeling quite surreal.
But there was one thing that still preoccupied Lin Yi.
The “Redemption” mission assigned by the system still had no leads, which made him feel restless.
The longer the delay, the greater the difficulty, and the stronger the impact would be.
This ti, Lin Yi really couldn’t fathom what the system was up to.
About three and a half hours later, everything was wrapped up, and Lin Yi returned to Zhong Hai with his team.
After getting off the plane, Lin Yi found a place for the team to have a al and then settled them into the Jiuzhou Pavilion.
“Has the top given you any new assignnts?”
Back at Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lin Yi inquired.
“They said they caught a suspect, but the person’s information is still under investigation. When there’s sufficient evidence, they might send us there,” Xiao Bing said.
“Where is the suspect?”
“At the Songjiang precinct.”
“Why have they taken him to the precinct? It doesn’t seem appropriate for them to handle this matter.”
“The main issue is that the travel agency didn’t catch him with conclusive evidence, just suspicions about him. To prevent any accidents, they found a random reason for the Songjiang precinct to arrest him.”
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully.
“Alright, you guys handle it then, I’m going to leave.”
After saying goodbye to the team, Lin Yi drove off to see Mi Li.
When he arrived at her place, it was already midnight.
Mi Li was a night owl, so she hadn’t gone to bed when Lin Yi arrived.
She was wearing a light blue nightgown that barely covered her buttocks, adorned with black lace, and gray slippers on her feet.
The nightgown and slippers were ordinary, but on Mi Li, they exuded an aura of desire.
Especially those two snow-white thighs, they were like a glimpse of light in the darkness, drawing people’s attention.
There were many docunts on the coffee table, and next to them was a pot of bitter nail tea to rejuvenate the mind.
This had long been Mi Li’s routine.
She could stay up all night, but waking up early was out of the question.
“Did everything go smoothly?”
She saw Lin Yi co in and then went to get him a pair of slippers.
“The difficulty wasn’t great, but those people were indeed despicable.”
Lin Yi recounted the events that had occurred at the hotel to Mi Li, who appeared remarkably calm.
“It’s not surprising they did such a thing, but now that they’re dealt with, I guess we can expect fewer problems in the future.”
“You’re not wrong there, but I feel like it might escalate the conflict,” Lin Yi said, “Elder Lu is now the only one in charge, and with this Pengcheng incident, I think we’ve done enough. Trying to control the entirety of Guangdong Province might backfire.”
“Are you worried that they will beco desperate and fight back?”
“That’s one aspect. ‘The taller the tree, the stronger the wind blows,’ and ‘when the subordinate’s achievents overshadow the master, problems arise.'”
“I suspect Elder Lu has also considered your worries. I guess if it wasn’t for this incident, he wouldn’t have taken this step.”
Lin Yi stretched lazily.
“Elder Lu is much smarter than I am. What I can think of, I guess he can too. But I feel like we’re treading on thin ice now. It would be better to retreat while we’re ahead and keep a low profile.”
“Alright, tomorrow I’ll convey your thoughts to my grandfather, and I’ll also get a feel for Elder Lu’s intentions.”
“Sure, stop working now, it’s getting late. We’ve got more important things to do,” Lin Yi said, patting Mi Li on the backside.
Her cheeks turned red. “I can’t be bothered with you; I’m going to sleep.”
“Going to sleep just like that, without washing up?”
“Don’t you see what ti it is? I’ve already washed up.”
Lin Yi looked at Mi Li with a aningful gaze, “I like how you’re always prepared in advance.”
“You go to the room first, I’m going to take a shower.”
Lin Yi went to the bathroom to freshen up quickly and then returned to the room excitedly.
Then he and Mi Li made love until after 3 a.m. before they fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, around eight in the morning, when Lin Yi woke up, Mi Li was still asleep.
Lin Yi didn’t plan to disturb her.
Given her sleeping habits, she’d probably sleep for another hour before getting up.
But as Lin Yi was getting dressed, he suddenly saw Mi Li sit up from the bed with her hair in disarray, startling him.
He was about to comnt but the panicked look in Mi Li’s eyes gave him a bad feeling.
“What happened? Why that expression?”
Mi Li turned her head chanically, her eyes devoid of spirit.
“I haven’t been feeling safe these past few days; I’m afraid sothing might happen.”
