The other end of the phone was a long silence.
Then ca He Yaoming’s deeper voice.
"Lin Yi, I’m making this call and giving you plenty of respect! Don’t disrespect !"
"Elder He, listen to my advice. If you still want to enjoy your retirent peacefully, just stay at ho, have so tea, and go fishing. If I let you threaten , I wouldn’t be standing here today."
Lin Yi was not angry, his tone was calm, and even had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Besides them two, you also have a daughter who, in just two years, turned a near-defunct company into one valued at trillions. You know better than what’s going on inside. Now I am leaving you one chance, don’t be ignorant. If one day I’m in a bad mood, not only her, but even you will be investigated. Know when to stop, and leave yourself so dignity."
"We’ll see!"
He Yaoming hung up the phone.
Lin Yi didn’t think much of it, put the phone aside, and prepared to wash up.
"Soone called you to plead a case?"
Yan Ci stood by and asked.
Lin Yi nodded, "I anticipated it long ago."
"In such a big matter, the person pleading must be very formidable."
"Indeed, but don’t worry about it," Lin Yi said:
"If anyone’s pleading could work, then I wouldn’t need to do my job."
"Will it affect your future developnt?"
"Definitely not," Lin Yi said:
"From your perspective, these people are unreachable, but in reality, they’re just a bunch of nobodies."
Hiss—
Yan Ci took a deep breath.
She had long known that her life trajectory couldn’t compare to Lin Yi’s.
But at this mont, she truly felt what an uneven world ans.
When she invited He Shudong for dinner, she had to be polite and smile.
Yet Lin Yi gave no face to those of higher ranks, the difference in ranks was truly enormous.
Luckily, he’s her man, thinking about it still feels quite fortunate.
"What are your plans later?"
Yan Ci asked while combing her hair.
"I need to get back to a eting, then there won’t be much to do."
"Let’s act separately," Yan Ci said: "Handle your main business first."
"After I’m done, I’ll co looking for you."
"I said, handle your main business first," Yan Ci smiled at Lin Yi:
"There’s plenty of ti ahead, we’re not going to be out of touch, but be careful, I’ve seen the injury on you."
Lin Yi smiled, patted Yan Ci’s head, and didn’t say anything more.
After tidying up, the two went to eat sothing and then went their separate ways.
Lin Yi returned to the Central Guards Brigade and t Liu Hong.
"Kid, you did another great job, destroying God’s Army’s base, a big accomplishnt."
"It can’t be considered my credit, the work was done by Group 2 and Group 4."
Liu Hong smiled, lit a cigarette, and turned to close the door.
"You caught He family’s two sons?"
"You know about that?"
"Elder Lu inford , and the He family called this morning."
Lin Yi laughed, slyly asked:
"Did that old thing threaten you?"
"I’m the director of the Central Guards Brigade, with my rank, they wouldn’t dare threaten," Liu Hong said:
"But their attitude wasn’t good, lucky Elder Lu inford beforehand, or I wouldn’t know how to handle it."
"Seems like the He family still has so influence."
"Do you rember Zhao Mo, whose leg was broken by you?"
"I rember, what’s up."
"Their family powers were similar, but after your actions, their influence diminished, and the He family is also on the decline."
"Turns out they’re in cahoots, no wonder my father-in-law told not to give them face."
"It’s a rare opportunity, must be utilized or it’ll be wasted."
Lin Yi nodded, agreeing with this approach.
After all, rcy towards the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
"Alright, let’s talk business," Liu Hong said:
"Now that people are caught, I don’t intend to take them back, you must interrogate them thoroughly, not missing any information, absolutely keeping it under wraps."
Lin Yi nodded, "I know, if this leaks, it’s a disgrace to the Central Guards Brigade, I wouldn’t tarnish my own reputation."
"Indeed," Liu Hong took a puff, "must be handled low-key."
"What’s the progress on the Chieftain’s side?"
"Chen Zhiyi went to pick them up, specifics are unknown to , just wait for news," Liu Hong replied.
"I think we can send more personnel," Lin Yi said:
"There’s likely similar stuff in other parts of the world, might as well search."
"I thought about that too, but targeting the whole world is too heavy a task for us, it would cause waste of manpower and resources."
Liu Hong sighed, said:
"Although we are the Central Guards Brigade, funding is limited, we can’t be reckless."
"Then focus on key areas, like that tropical rainforest, maybe there are similar places."
"Just do our best, treat it as a backup option, when I have ti I need to discuss this with Elder Lu and Elder Liang."
"That’s all I wanted to say," Lin Yi said:
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back."
Liu Hong nodded, "How’s the injury? I heard it’s tough to recover once the wound opens up."
"Recovering slowly but no longer affecting actions."
"Take good rest, heal at ho for a few months."
Lin Yi nodded, "I’ll head out first."
"Okay."
Leaving the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi headed to the hospital to see Luo Qi.
Upon arriving, he found that Yu Siying, Xiao Bing, and Zhang Chaoyue were also present.
"Why did you guys co back?"
"Brother Qiang said it wasn’t necessary for all to stay, let us co back first, they’re still continuing the interrogation," Xiao Bing said.
Lin Yi nodded, then turned his gaze to Luo Qi.
"How are you feeling, is the wound still hurting?"
"Much better already, nothing is affected," Luo Qi said:
"I think I can be discharged, staying inside every day is driving crazy."
"Stay and heal for a few more days, otherwise you’ll be wandering around."
"Ah ah ah—Lin Bro, you can’t say this, Xiao Bing is even more of a wanderer than ."
"Buzz off, buzz off, I’ve reford, haven’t been to the nightclub for a long ti."
"Only because you’ve been busy these days, or you’d be going every day."
"Alright, stop bickering you two," Lin Yi said with a laugh:
"Have you extracted any crucial information?"
"Not yet so far," Xiao Bing shrugged, said:
"But I feel they might not know much, given their positions."
"I think we should focus on people they’re connected with," Yu Siying said earnestly:
"This is a great opportunity, if missed, it might be less easy to find later."
