Chapter 3125: Chapter 3117: Unexpected News
Lin Yi opened a room, started a video call with Ji Qingyan, chatted for a while, then checked on the baby before washing up and resting.
Lying on the bed, Lin Yi suddenly felt a bit emotional.
He never expected that one day, he would return here again.
He wondered how that girl nad An Ning was doing.
Unless sothing unexpected happened, she should still be working at the Agricultural Science Academy.
Lying in bed, with a bunch of useless questions in his mind, Lin Yi started feeling sleepy.
Although this level of work intensity was nothing to Lin Yi,
It was still sowhat draining, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
…
Feng City, nearby service area.
Zhang Gang parked the car, holding a walkie-talkie chatting with colleagues as he walked towards the service area.
“Guys, guess where I am now?”
“It’s only been 23 hours; you should be in Jing City by now.”
“It took 23 hours to reach Jing City. Are you underestimating ? I’m breaking records today.”
“Whoa, did you already head to Feng City?”
“You’re smart, Old Li,” Zhang Gang laughed heartily and said:
“I’ve successfully reached Feng City, there’s over 500 kiloters left, at most seven more hours, and if calculated, within 33 hours, I’ll get there.”
“If that’s the case, maybe you’ll get there in 30 hours.”
“No way,” Zhang Gang said with a yawn:
“I’ve drunk more than ten bottles of coffee along the way and still couldn’t hold on. After I finish eating, I need to sleep for a while, but I will definitely reach the Ice City transfer center within 33 hours.”
“Haha, that’s aweso! Most people couldn’t break this record.”
“I dare not speak for others, but in at least the next ten or eight years, no one will break my record,” Zhang Gang boasted.
“But I’m curious, where’s that kid now.”
Crack——
Zhang Gang lit a cigarette, “I estimate he’s only driven about 1000 kiloters by now.”
“You’re really overestimating him. He’s unfamiliar with the road, and it’s his first drive. If he can drive 1000 kiloters, that would be really sothing.”
“I rember the first ti you went on the run, you only covered 800 kiloters in a day and a night, right?”
“I was unfamiliar with the roads, took the wrong route, and slept a lot. His situation can’t be better than mine.”
“It has to be. You were an old hand by then; how could he compare to you?” Zhang Gang laughed heartily and said.
“Call the dispatcher and see where the kid is, to make sure he doesn’t get lost, haha…”
“I think that’s a good idea.”
Zhang Gang put the walkie-talkie aside and called Chen Dantong.
“Little Chen, where is the kid now? Help check.”
“Hmm? Are you talking about Lin Yi?”
“Yeah, that’s him. Did he get lost? Haha…”
“He arrived at the Ice City transfer center more than half an hour ago; you haven’t gotten there yet, have you?”
“Huh? What did you say? He’s already there?”
Zhang Gang, holding a cigarette, had an expression of disbelief on his face.
“Yes, he got there in 22 hours. I’ve already received the confirmation.”
“That’s impossible. How could he get there in 22 hours?”
“The confirmation has already co through; how could it be impossible?” Chen Dantong said nonchalantly.
Having been in the business for so ti.
Zhang Gang knew that once the information was confird, it ant the shipnt had reached the regional transfer center, and no one dared to falsify in this area.
“I have to go for now; still have other things to do.”
Without further talk with Zhang Gang, Chen Dantong hung up the phone directly.
Zhang Gang sat there in a daze, unable to co to his senses for quite a while.
2300 kiloters!
22 hours!
Did he maintain an average speed of over 100 mph?
And without eating, drinking, or resting?
Buzz——
The sound of static ca from the walkie-talkie, and soone on the other side asked:
“How did it go? Where is that kid?”
Zhang Gang felt embarrassed, unsure of how to respond to this.
But even if he didn’t say it, they’d find out sooner or later, so he could only answer with the walkie-talkie.
“He has already arrived…”
…
Early the next morning, Lin Yi finished washing up, looked at the snowy scene outside the window, and prepared to take a tour of the Agricultural Science Academy.
Since he was here, he could arrange a al, catch up with old friends, and kill so ti.
Following the address in his mory, Lin Yi took a taxi to the Agricultural Science Academy.
The plaque at the entrance seed to have changed, looking more impressive than before.
Everything else was nearly the sa as before.
Cars were parked on both sides of the entrance, and not far away, an old man was selling roasted sweet potatoes, and the aroma wafted from afar.
“That girl seed to like eating roasted sweet potatoes.”
Mumbling, Lin Yi went to buy two roasted sweet potatoes.
According to his previous arrangent, she should now be a director and certainly have her own office.
He could go to her office to eat a sweet potato and fill his stomach.
After buying the sweet potatoes, Lin Yi headed to the Agricultural Science Academy.
He pushed the door open, stomped the snow off his feet, and walked straight towards the mailroom at the entrance; the lobby was sowhat quiet and had a slight chill.
A middle-aged woman, in her fifties, a little plump but looking amiable, was inside the window, watching a drama on her phone.
Lin Yi felt she looked unfamiliar, perhaps she wasn’t the sa woman from before.
The woman in the mailroom, upon seeing Lin Yi, also glanced at him a few more tis, already wondering in her mind which single woman in the unit might match with him.
“Big sister, I’m looking for An Ning. Which office is she in?”
“Director An is on maternity leave, taking care of the baby at ho. She hasn’t been to work for months.”
“What?”
Lin Yi was stunned for a mont, not expecting such a response.
But thinking carefully, it seed quite expected.
Calculating carefully, it had been more than two years since he left.
Getting married and having children during this ti was perfectly normal.
And for her to find soone she loves and spend the rest of her life with, it’s sothing to be happy about.
“You probably haven’t been in touch for a long ti, right?”
The mailroom woman laughed and said, “She’s been on leave for almost four months. Recently, they just celebrated the hundred days for her twins, a boy and a girl. So beautiful, they must have inherited her genes.”
“That’s indeed possible.”
Lin Yi responded with a smile, and since she wasn’t around, he didn’t plan to linger around.
And as she was married and had children, there was no need to catch up with her.
“Young man, if you want to find Director An, why don’t you give her a call, or leave your number, and I’ll tell her.”
“No need, it’s nothing important,” Lin Yi chuckled and said:
“You go on with your work; I’ll be on my way.”
“Alright.”
He said goodbye and left.
The mailroom woman got up, glanced at the door to see Lin Yi had left, and then called An Ning.
“Boss, are you busy?”
