Chapter 2428 2429 Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 2428: Chapter 2429: Relentless Pursuit Chapter 2428: Chapter 2429: Relentless Pursuit Under Xu Zhengyao’s command, several security guards charged forward.
Facing such a minor scene, Lin Yi remained calm, with no fluctuations in his emotions.
Seeing the head security guard charge at him first, he grabbed his hair and smashed it against the nearby wall.
With a bang!
The head of security’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out completely, sprawling on the ground in an ungainly heap, as if he were dead.
This scene terrified everyone, causing them to immediately stop in their tracks, all wearing fearful expressions.
They were all untrained ordinary people, only daring to take on someone when their numbers were greater.
But the man before them was far more ruthless than they had imagined, scaring them to the point of paralysis.
“Why have you all stopped?” Xu Zhengyao said with a cold face:
“Get moving, I’ll give each of you a bonus of 1000 after the fact.”
Under the promise of a hefty reward, there must be brave souls. To Lin Yi, 1000 yuan might not even be enough for gas.
But to ordinary people, it was a considerable sum of money.
The remaining security guards regrouped and charged at Lin Yi once again!
But their outcome was predictable!
In less than a minute, more than a dozen security guards were all beaten to the ground by Lin Yi, blood everywhere, a ghastly sight to behold.
Zhou Shengming and the three masseuses stood trembling on the spot.
They knew Lin Yi was a police officer, but they had no idea he was this ruthless.
A dozen of them didn’t even touch his clothes and were beaten down to the ground.
At this moment, they were full of regret.
If they had known he was so formidable, they would not have tricked him out of his money.
But with such chaos now, it was already impossible to settle things smoothly.
Even Xu Zhengyao, who had been exceedingly arrogant before, now had to temper his aggressiveness.
“You’re actually such a good fighter, I underestimated you.”
“At this point, just drop the act,” Lin Yi said:
“Step aside, or you’ll be lying down too, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Xu Zhengyao’s face turned ashen, feeling like Lin Yi was slapping him in the face.
But at this point, he also knew he had no way out.
“Alright, you’re tough. Go on.”
Lin Yi smiled as he passed by, patting Xu Zhengyao on the face, “You’re not completely stupid.”
Xu Zhengyao clenched his fists, his teeth tightly gritted.
The rage bottled up inside him was on the verge of erupting.
Lin Yi didn’t linger in the private room too long, smashed a few cell phones, and then went back to meet with Zhang Hui and Zhu Junchi.
“Dammit! A bunch of useless trash!”
Xu Zhengyao cursed angrily, kicking a nearby cabinet.
“Chairman Xu, just calm down, there’s no need to trouble yourself over such people,” Zhou Shengming said:
“There’s surveillance at the door. As long as it gets released, they will have to step down, there will be plenty of chances for revenge.”
“He beat up my men, if I simply reported him, where would I, Xu Zhengyao, put my face!”
“Does Chairman Xu mean to…?”
“Get someone to follow him, I’m contacting people now,” Xu Zhengyao said:
“I refuse to believe that in Jinling, an outsider can turn the place upside down!”
“I know what to do now.”
On the other side, after Lin Yi returned to his own private room, Zhang Hui and Zhu Junchi had already finished tidying up.
“What happened?” Zhang Hui asked.
“Nothing much, one of the items incurred an extra charge, they were clarifying the situation with me,” Lin Yi said:
“All settled now, let’s find a place to sleep.”
“Let’s go, I’m a bit sleepy too, let’s find a place to stay nearby,” Zhang Hui said.
“Alright.”
Lin Yi drove and found a nearby hotel, planning to book three rooms.
“Two rooms will do,” Zhang Hui said:
“The two of us will stay in one room, and you can have your own. There’s no need to spend extra money.”
“Sure.”
Lin Yi booked two rooms; then, with familiarity, he took the key cards and returned to his room.
Vrrr vrrr—
As soon as he entered, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a WeChat message from Yan Ci.
“Are you asleep?”
Holding the phone, Lin Yi called Yan Ci back.
“Sending messages this late, can’t sleep?”
“Not really.”
Yan Ci seemed to be in a good mood, giggling as she picked up Lin Yi’s call:
“I’m on the train, about to arrive in Jinling. Where are you?”
“Just got to the hotel. Did you drive here? Or took the high-speed train?”
“High-speed train.” Yan Ci laughed:
“Director Lin, do you have time to pick me up? The train will be arriving in thirty minutes.”
“Just wait, I’m heading over now.”
“Mhm.”
After placing his luggage in the room and letting the others know, Lin Yi left the hotel, ready to pick up Yan Ci from the high-speed train station.
After getting into the car, Lin Yi didn’t rush off. Instead, he looked out the window and his gaze landed on a black Sagitar sedan.
A smile involuntarily formed on his lips.
As the ancient capital of six dynasties, Jinling’s night was brilliantly illuminated.
Although it was late at night, there were still quite a number of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets, similar to Zhong Hai.
The place where he stayed was not far from the high-speed train station. It took about ten minutes to arrive at the station.
The high-speed train station at night was bustling with a constant stream of people.
After parking the car, a few minutes later the announcement for the train’s arrival sounded, and Lin Yi headed towards the exit.
One after another, people emerged from the exit.
Dressed in a jasmine-colored long dress, Yan Ci, carrying a small suitcase, blended into the crowd, looking around, but after a while, she still couldn’t find Lin Yi.
Ah—
Just as Yan Ci was about to make a call, she suddenly felt a pair of hands touch her waist.
Before she could scream, she realized the person behind her was Lin Yi.
“You almost killed me; you scared me to death.”
Yan Ci playfully scolded, then wrapped her arms around Lin Yi’s neck, and without hesitation, leaned forward to give him a kiss.
“Good job, coming to pick me up so late.”
“President Yan is here; even if it meant rushing to be reincarnated, I’d come.”
“Flattery will get you everywhere, here’s another reward for you.”
Yan Ci kissed Lin Yi’s face again.
“You seem quite excited today; did your movie pass censor?”
“It’s not about the movie.” Yan Ci said with a smile:
“This is Jinling, escaping from the eyes of the Empress, how could I not be happy?”
Lin Yi was somewhat bemused and didn’t expect that Yan Ci would say such a thing.
Patting Yan Ci’s buttocks, he said, “Let’s go, get in the car first.”
“Mhm.”
Lin Yi took the luggage, and the two of them got into the car together.
“Are you tired?” Yan Ci asked.
“Not at all, do you need something?”
“I want to go out with you for a stroll.” Yan Ci said:
“I have other things to attend to tomorrow, and you probably have lots to do too, so let’s take advantage of the quiet night and go out.”
“Where do you want to go?”
“Emmm… I want to go to Lion Bridge Pedestrian Street, let’s walk around there and grab some late-night snacks.”
“Let’s go.” Lin Yi buckled his seatbelt and, after setting up the navigation, started driving towards Lion Bridge Pedestrian Street.
At the same time, Lin Yi glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed that the black Sagitar was still following them.
“Really persistent, aren’t they?” Lin Yi mused internally.
