Chapter 2768: Chapter 2769: Internal eting
Because they were happy, the welco banquet lasted until the early morning.
They returned to the hotel, and slept soundly that night.
The next morning, they all went to the restaurant for breakfast.
After preparing, they’d take a flight back to Zhong Hai.
“Lin Bro, when are you going back?” Liang Jinming asked.
“I guess in the next day or two. There’s not much going on here, so I should be back soon.”
“Then we will wait for you back in Zhong Hai.”
Lin Yi nodded.
“Is your business urgent?” Ji Qingyan suddenly asked.
“Why? Do you have sothing on your mind?”
“If it’s not urgent, co out with . I want to shop for so things.”
“That works.”
After breakfast, the group went to SKP.
“Things here are the sa as Zhong Hai’s. Why did you specifically want to shop here?” Lin Yi asked curiously.
Ji Qingyan took out sothing from her bag that Liang Ruoxu had given her.
Inside was a weighty little gold lock with the word “Blessing” written on it, looking very cheerful.
“This is what she’s prepared for the child, so I should reciprocate.”
Lin Yi understood what was going on.
Though he knew too well to say it out loud, it showed their relationship was starting to thaw.
After about half an hour, Ji Qingyan bought a jade Buddha made from alabaster, planning to have Lin Yi give it to Liang Ruoxu.
After shopping, Qin Han and the others went to the airport without Lin Yi seeing them off.
Afterward, Lin Yi took a cab to the Central Guards Brigade to et up with the group.
“Are your injuries all healed?” Lin Yi asked Ning Che.
“I can’t move for now; need so ti to heal. You guys will have to handle the brigade’s business.”
He patted Ning Che’s face, “Glad it’s nothing serious.”
“Stop doing such dangerous stuff in the future,” Ning Che said softly.
“If sothing truly happens to you, how am I supposed to live?”
“Then let’s et on the road to Hell, I don’t want to walk alone.”
“Stop with the nonsense,” Ning Che gave Lin Yi a sidelong glance.
Squeak—
The office door opened, and Qiu Yuluo walked in from outside.
“This isn’t the place for a private chat. If you want to talk, do it at the hotel tonight. Boss Liu is looking to have a eting with you. Go to his office.”
The two of them left the room, arriving at Liu Hong’s office.
Tao Cheng was smoking on the sofa, and all four leaders of the Central Guards Brigade were gathered.
“The penalty result is in: probation for one month, a deduction of one year’s wages.”
“Um… If you hadn’t ntioned it, I wouldn’t have rembered there’s even a wage issue.”
Those in the Central Guards Brigade aren’t short on money; even the poorest have a net worth over a billion, so they wouldn’t care about a salary of ten thousand yuan a month.
“It’s just procedure. We can’t just let you off easily for nothing,” Liu Hong said with a smile.
“The handling is fine with , I accept it,” Lin Yi said with a laugh:
“Alright, let’s put this behind us. Now, let’s talk business.”
Liu Hong lit a cigarette, adjusted his deanor, and said:
“Originally, you were supposed to be sent to the island this ti, but according to the rules, you’re on probation, so Tao Cheng’s team is replacing you for a month. After that, your team will go ashore. Handle your ho affairs and prepare well.”
Lin Yi nodded, “What’s the situation on the island now?”
“The island’s landscape has changed; various forces are competing for the entry to Section A.”
“What is it used for?”
“It’s a passage into the Kandaya Ruins, and the easiest path to take, so everyone is trying hard to secure it for future in-depth exploration.”
“In short, it’s a chaotic battle.”
“You could put it that way,” Liu Hong said:
“Many people are eyeing that place but are hesitant to take big actions, as they might easily get surrounded. However, lately, there has been more tension, and a major conflict might erupt soon.”
“What’s the Storm Team doing?”
Among the many forces on the island, few truly pose a threat.
And the Storm Team is one of them.
“Through negotiations, they’ve been sent back, but what was exchanged, I’m not sure.”
Hearing this, the four of them exchanged glances, indicating their thoughts.
Given the importance of the Storm Team, whatever they exchanged for must be valuable.
As for what it was, that remains a matter for the wise to decipher.
“The Ghost Squad is all gone, and the recent recruits won’t form combat capability anyti soon, which is favorable for us,” Qiu Yuluo said.
Liu Hong nodded, “That’s the temporary situation. Everyone left should be spirited and increase training, don’t slack off.”
After speaking, Liu Hong took a glance at Lin Yi.
“As you’re on leave to be observed, it’s not appropriate to stay in the brigade. You can take your team back to Zhong Hai; how you train them is up to you. But if you don’t have ti, staying in the brigade is fine.”
“Let’s go back to Zhong Hai; I’ll give them special training.”
“Handle these things yourself,” Liu Hong said:
“The island’s situation is getting fiercer, all you four leaders must stay sharp.”
“Understood.”
After finishing discussing business, the four left.
Because there were other matters, the four had brief exchanges, then Lin Yi went off on his own.
He bought a few bottles of wine and took a cab to Liang Xianghe’s place.
“Co in, co in.”
This ti seeing Lin Yi, Song Yuzhen returned to her enthusiastic deanor.
Lin Yi placed the wine aside, smiling as he entered the room.
Liang Xianghe was reading the newspaper, and upon seeing Lin Yi, he put the newspaper back on the table.
“How did Liu Hong handle your case?”
“Probation for one month, docked a year’s wages.”
“Not bad, the procedures still need to be followed,” Liang Xianghe said:
“I bet that amount wouldn’t even cover your drinking costs.”
“I’m a thrifty and not wasteful person,” Lin Yi said with a smile:
“I heard you called Uncle Lu back.”
“If he didn’t co back, no one could protect Lingyun Group’s assets.”
Lin Yi nodded, understanding the underlying implications.
Having been delivered by the Wang family, once released, nothing changes; everything remains the sa.
But the core data of the Lingyun Group is different.
If these are leaked, retrieving them later is aningless.
“Where’s Uncle Lu? Where did he go?”
“The international eting isn’t over; he took leave to return halfway through, and after dealing with Lingyun Group, he left.”
“Pity, I wanted to cook for him.”
“There’s no hurry; plenty of opportunities later.” Liang Xianghe pulled out a cigarette, Lin Yi conveniently handed him the lighter.
Lighting the cigarette, Liang Xianghe quietly inhaled, speaking earnestly:
“In a while, you’ll head the island, be careful. It’s a different world there, life and death are normal, don’t lose your head and act rashly.”
