Chapter 2776: Chapter 2777: New Intelligence
“I guess it’s a case of losing money to avoid disaster.”
“We still need to get rid of him. This is Gubei No.1, and I heard that the big boss is coming for an inspection. Hurry up and get him out, otherwise our wages will be docked.”
“Let’s go, go now.”
Making up their minds, two security guards took their stun batons and went out.
Just then, they saw a rcedes-Maybach pulling up in front of Lin Yi.
Before the driver even got out to open the door, a middle-aged man stepped down from the car.
“Whoa damn, the big boss is here!”
The two security guards panicked a little. They knew the big boss was coming, but didn’t expect him to arrive so early.
“We’re screwed if the big boss sees this and the manager hears about it; we’re both done for.”
“Then don’t just stand there; hurry up and get him out. Maybe we can salvage this!”
“Alright!”
The two picked up their pace and rushed towards Lin Yi.
But after a few steps, they stood frozen, like they’ve lost their minds.
They saw their big boss walking respectfully towards the man selling dicine.
And even took the initiative to shake his hand, as if asking for a favor.
“What’s going on? Why is the big boss being so deferential to him?”
“I—I don’t know either. He hasn’t been this humble even with clients.”
“Let’s just observe the situation; sothing doesn’t feel right.”
On the other side, the big boss of Gubei No.1, President of Fushun Group, Liu Wenquan courteously approached Lin Yi.
“Director Lin, you’ve co to our place. Why didn’t you let know in advance? We’re being too neglectful.”
Lin Yi had heard of Liu Wenquan but wasn’t very familiar; just knew his na.
But the reverse was different. As the influential figure in Zhong Hai, Lin Yi’s influence was trendous.
Especially after the video of Lin Yi being arrested went viral a few days ago.
Many big shots in the business world saw it and thought Lin Yi might be done for.
Yet just a few days later, he was back as lively as ever, adding an elent of mystery.
The originally polite attitude had now turned into reverence.
“President Liu.”
Lin Yi politely extended his hand, “What a coincidence to et here.”
“Chief Chen called yesterday; I ca specially for this.” Liu Wenquan said courteously:
“Having soone as esteed as you visit us truly brightens our place.”
“It’s nothing much, just selling so items here and relaxing.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi glanced towards the security guards, “Just make sure they don’t disturb .”
Liu Wenquan looked at the security guards and waved them over.
“Co here.”
The two security guards jolted and quickly walked over.
“President Liu.”
“Director Lin is setting up a stall here. You all behave yourselves. If anyone dares to trouble Director Lin, none of you will be working anymore!”
The security guards’ heads buzzed, and they stayed baffled for a while.
Even their gaze towards Lin Yi beca bewildered.
“Un—understood.”
After scolding the security guards, Liu Wenquan looked at Lin Yi and said with a smile:
“Director Lin, if you have any requests, feel free to ask. Anything I can accomplish is no problem.”
“No other requests,” Lin Yi laughed and said:
“We’re all in the sa circle, no need to be overly polite, otherwise I would feel awkward.”
“Alright, Director Lin, rest assured, we’ll handle everything properly.”
Saying that, Liu Wenquan exchanged a few courteous words with Lin Yi before cautiously leaving.
“Umm… Director Lin, we’re really sorry. Yesterday, it wasn’t our intention to offend you. Nowadays, finding a job is hard. Please don’t hold it against us.” apologized the security guards.
“It’s fine; you’re just fulfilling your duties. I understand, let’s just do our respective jobs, just ignore .”
Seeing Lin Yi being so easygoing brought relief to the security guards.
“If you need anything, just call us.”
“Alright.”
Settling the stall matter completely reassured Lin Yi; now no one would co to cause trouble.
Soon, a day passed.
Many won, ranging from sixteen or seventeen to sixty or seventy years old, were attracted by Lin Yi’s looks and ca over to chat.
The saying proved true; with money, one dares to do anything.
However, upon learning the price, they instantly lost interest, feeling it was sowhat attention-seeking, like performance art.
Throughout the day, Lin Yi wasted a lot of breath, but didn’t sell even a single pill.
Lin Yi thought it was normal; if it were him, encountering such a person would feel odd.
And such days continued for four days, while sales remained zero.
Lin Yi calculated that roughly half a month remained before he had to set sail for the island.
Group one’s training was still underway enthusiastically.
As for what would happen after landing, Lin Yi couldn’t guarantee anything; he had to leave it to fate then.
Ring ring ring—
While setting up the stall in the morning, Lin Yi received a call from Qiu Yuluo.
“What do you an?”
“Huh?”
Faced with Qiu Yuluo’s questioning, Lin Yi was montarily puzzled, “What are you talking about?”
“Did you send Ning Che so pills? What’s this, giving them to her but not , treating us differently?”
“Oh, you an that.” Lin Yi chuckled and said:
“How is it, working pretty well, right?”
“More than just well; it’s only been a few days, and her scars have faded, skin improved, and many in the circle want to know where she got them.” Qiu Yuluo said:
“I don’t care about anything else; you have to get so.”
“If you have stock, just give so and I’ll help you sell it.”
“No problem; I’ll send them to you tomorrow.”
“It’s a deal then.” Qiu Yuluo said:
“By the way, there’s sothing I need to tell you. We checked Gerard’s past experiences again and found deep ties with the Freemasons.”
“They are mbers of the Freemasons; that’s normal, isn’t it?”
“But he’s not just a regular mber; unlike others in business and politics, secret information shows he once deployed the Ghost and Storm teams to covertly collaborate with the Freemasons. Given his identity, such actions are utterly baffling.”
Qiu Yuluo’s words made Lin Yi cautious again.
Ordinary mbers of the Freemasons are almost honorary status, only coming together for mutual interests in specific circumstances.
But Gerard’s actions are entirely incomprehensible.
“I’ve thought about this for days, feeling your earlier suspicions might be correct.” Qiu Yuluo said:
“Gerard likely has an undisclosed identity.”
