Chapter 2364 2365 Heading to Yanjing
Chapter 2364: Chapter 2365: Heading to Yanjing Chapter 2364: Chapter 2365: Heading to Yanjing The old lady was stunned at the moment, but the onlookers around her clapped and cheered.
“I, we don’t have that much money. They can afford such nice cars, so let them fix it themselves. I won’t even pursue the matter of them killing the dog.”
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and glanced at the old lady.
“The dog’s death is your responsibility, it has nothing to do with the car owner. Moreover, don’t say they were driving a car, even if they were flying a rocket, it’s not their responsibility. Just because you’re poor doesn’t mean you’re right.”
The old lady was left speechless by Lin Yi’s retort and shakily made a phone call home.
After nearly an hour of negotiation, the car owner finally settled for 10,000 dollars and drove off.
Lin Yi and Zhang Zixin then returned to the precinct.
“Man, these old men and women nowadays are really hateful. Dapeng also dealt with a similar case yesterday, but he didn’t have your boldness.”
“Just stick to what’s right. The more you indulge them, the more they’ll take advantage. Eventually, it will dishearten the good people.”
“Understood!”
The two returned to the precinct together, and that day, Lin Yi became extremely busy.
He hadn’t been back long before dealing with two more cases, and it wasn’t until after four in the afternoon that he finally got a bit of a break.
However, the ultimate task had still not been taken care of.
Around five in the evening, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group to pick up Ji Qingyan from work.
After returning home, their life continued as usual, eating together and cuddling, each busy with their own things.
The next day was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Lin Yi didn’t go to the precinct.
He spent the entire day at home with Ji Qingyan, with all conversations revolving around their unborn child.
They even thought of several names and had everything arranged for the child’s future kindergarten quite meticulously.
Later in the evening, the family had dinner as usual, followed by sweet dumplings.
Before that, Lin Yi had arranged with Mo Hongshan to call him around eight in the evening, claiming there was something that required his presence at the military zone.
In reality, Lin Yi drove to Li Chuhan’s place.
Like every New Year’s Eve, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Yi would always find time to spend with Li Chuhan for a while.
During such reunions, she deserved to be part of one too.
Li Chuhan had prepared the sweet dumplings early. After Lin Yi arrived, she cooked some more for him, as a way of observing the festival together.
After the meal, the two of them didn’t rest, engaging in a round of physical activity, moving from the sofa to the kitchen, and after several rounds, they ended a thorough and intense battle.
Close to eleven o’clock, Lin Yi returned home and found Ji Qingyan still awake, noting down something with a pen.
He took a closer look and discovered it was all items needed for childbirth.
Lin Yi felt that Ji Qingyan seemed a bit obsessed.
Early the next morning, when Lin Yi opened his eyes, he received a WeChat message from Liang Ruoxu.
The message only contained two words, “Call back.”
Seeing the content of the message, Lin Yi didn’t think too much, guessing that Liang Ruoxu was returning and might want him to pick her up.
While Ji Qingyan was getting ready, Lin Yi called Liang Ruoxu back.
“What time is the flight?”
“Put aside what you’re doing for now, come to Yanjing.”
“Go to Yanjing?” Lin Yi’s expression suddenly tensed up, “What happened?”
“Don’t worry, both the child and I are fine, but it’s inconvenient to talk over the phone. You come over first, and we’ll talk when we meet.”
“Alright.”
Lin Yi hung up the phone, looking a bit suspicious.
With the capabilities of the Liang family, if they encountered a problem they couldn’t solve, then even if he went there, he might not be able to solve it either.
Moreover, from the tone of Mi Li’s voice, it seemed she was quite anxious.
It must be a serious matter.
“Why are you still sitting there? Hurry up and wash up.”
Ji Qingyan called from the doorway.
Lin Yi nodded, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then went downstairs to eat.
After the meal, Lin Yi, as usual, dropped Ji Qingyan off at the company.
“I’m going to Yanjing later; there’s something going on over there. I might not come back for a few days,” Lin Yi told Ji Qingyan.
“Go ahead, but be safe,” Ji Qingyan said. “And don’t forget to call me every day.”
“No problem.” Lin Yi gestured an OK sign with his hand.
Ji Qingyan touched her belly, “Come on, baby, say bye-bye to daddy.”
Lin Yi suddenly froze, overwhelmed by Ji Qingyan’s cuteness and gentleness.
Smiling, he reached out, lifted up Ji Qingyan’s white undergarment to reveal her white belly, and kissed it.
“Be good at home with your mom, and if you’re not, I’ll spank you when I come back.”
Pfft—
Ji Qingyan was made to laugh out loud by Lin Yi’s childish antics.
“Alright, go and attend to your business.”
Ji Qingyan readjusted her clothes, then grabbed her bag, got out of the car, waved goodbye to Lin Yi, and watched him drive away.
After leaving Chaoyang Group, Lin Yi drove to the airport. He arrived in Yanjing a little after one in the afternoon and took a taxi to Mi Li’s home.
There was only her at home, with the table laid out with lots of food, probably left by Shen Shuyi.
“What’s the matter that you called me here in such a hurry?”
“Don’t worry, take a seat and rest for a bit.”
Mi Li welcomed Lin Yi inside and helped him take off his coat.
“It’s not my issue; it’s my grandfather’s.”
“Eh?” Lin Yi was a bit surprised. “Old Master Liang has a problem, it shouldn’t fall on me; he’s much more badass than I am.”
“It’s mainly because this is no ordinary issue; it’s about the Guardian Brigade.”
Lin Yi’s brows knitted together; he had a vague hunch about what it might be.
“Then what? Continue.”
“Groups Five to Eight of the Guardian Brigade, which my grandfather is temporarily in charge of, have noticed someone recently behaving suspiciously. They’ve been watching him and are now ready to make a move.”
“Found a mole?” Mi Li nodded with a serious look:
“I’m not entirely clear about the circumstances on your end, but I’ve heard it’s quite chaotic. Ever since the beginning of the year, my grandfather has been busy with these matters. I haven’t seen him in a long time.”
“Alright, we won’t be able to make sense of it just by talking. I’ll go see Elder Liang.”
“I’ll come with you.”
“No need, you should rest properly at home.”
“No way, I want to go with you,” Mi Li insinuated in a whiny tone: “I’m in good condition right now. The doctor also said I can’t always lie down; I need to exercise a bit as well.”
“Then get dressed. Let’s go.” Lin Yi had no choice but to let Mi Li accompany him.
While changing clothes, Mi Li called Liang Xianghe and quickly rushed over after finding out he was home.
During the drive, Lin Yi didn’t say a word; his mind was preoccupied with the issues concerning the Guardian Brigade.
He had thought about such situations before.
Now that it had really happened, he could face it calmly.
The rest was to see who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
