Lin Yi was silent. After asking the first question, he didnât speak for a few minutes.
Previously, they were almost certain that this was done by Black Gold Corporation.
Hence, he naturally thought that the Bass ore that he had taken from the Central Guards Brigade was in Jeffreyâs hands.
However, there was a possibility to consider.
That is, whether Black Gold Corporation encountered the previous black-clothed individual while taking away the Bass ore!
If they encountered him, then it would have been impossible for them to retrive the two kilograms of Bass ore.
This was what Lin Yi actually cared about.
He did not care about the lives of the two people from Team 1. In fact, he did not really care if they even found the Bass ore.
What he really cared about was whether he could meet that man in black again soon!
âYou just said that the only person Jeffrey can deal with now is the Mitsui family of Sunrise Land, right?â
âThatâs what I think,â said Jimmy.
âGeoffrey went to a lot of trouble to get in touch with the Mitsui family on our previous deal, so he wonât give up the relationship easily. But who heâll send to make the deal remains to be seen.â
âIs there no one else besides you?â
âIn the Black Gold Corporation, other than Jeffrey, only I, Paul, and Eliza hold the highest rank, so only the three of us are qualified to make such a deal. However, theyâre all on Tilia Island. I donât know who Jeffrey will bring back.â Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully. According to the current information, Caie Mitsui was the only breakthrough point.
At the thought of this, Lin Yi touched his chin. He Yuanyuan had set the companyâs travel location to be Sunrise Land.
It was the f*cking correct choice.
âAlright, thatâs all for today. If there are any other questions, Iâll return.â
âOkay, okay, okay.â Jimmy nodded hurriedly. âYou wonât forget what you promised me just now, will you?â
âIf you perform well, I guarantee that you wonât die.â
âI-I understand.â
After interrogating Jeffrey, the three of them walked out.
Guo Zijian and Yang Jing, who were on guard outside, brought Jimmy back.
âItâs been so long. Would Jeffrey make another deal with the Mitsui family?â Ning Che asked.
âI donât know.â Qiu Yuluo shrugged. âIt all depends on luck.â
âItâs more likely to be in Jeffreyâs hands,â Lin Yi said.
âWhy do you say that?â
âItâs only been a dozen days since the mission failed. Jeffrey needs to deploy men, and that takes time. There should be no need to rush.â
The two girls nodded subconsciously.
According to Jimmy, there were only three people in the Black Gold Corporation who were qualified to oversee this deal.
Now that he had been captured, while Paul and Eliza were still on Tilia Island. It would take some time for them to rush back. Thus, it was indeed very likely that Jeffrey still had the ores.
Apart from these, there was another reason that made Lin Yi certain that the ore was still in Jeffreyâs hands.
This was because the Mitsui family had also lost in the previous transaction.
They didnât know who the black-clothed person was. Although the Black Gold Corporation explained that they were not responsible for the theft, it still increased their vigilance, making it difficult to get them to agree to a second transaction so quickly.
After all, Caie Mitsui was a cautious person.
But then again, if the Black Gold Corporation met the man in black after obtaining the Bass ores, then all their plans would be wasted. It would be better for them to just go home and go to bed.
âIf thatâs the case, I think we can make use of this opportunity,â Qiu Yuluo said. âMm? How will we make use of it?â Ning Che asked.
âDidnât Jimmy just say that as long as we let him go, Jeffreyâs men would definitely find him? How about we use him as bait?â
âItâs useless.â Lin Yi said.
âJeffrey wonât come to kill him himself. Even if you catch a few of his men, it would be useless. A person like him will give up anything except his own life, so thereâs no point in trying.â
âThis is going to be difficult,â Qiu Yuluo muttered.
âLetâs take it one step at a time. This matter is beyond our control. Whether we can recover the two kilograms of Bass ore depends on Godâs mood.â
âThen what will we do next?â
âIâm done here, so I have to go back to Zhonghai. Thereâs no point in wasting time here.â
âAlright, weâll take you to the airport.â
Then, Ning Che sent Lin Yi to the airport and parted ways.
After more than two hours, Lin Yi got off the plane and went to the Lingyun Group. He called Qi Xianzhao to his office.
âHow are the arrangements for the companyâs trip going?â
Qi Xianzhao was a little surprised. Why was President Lin, who did not care about anything, concerned about this matter?
âWeâre still working on a plan. In terms of hotel accommodation, weâll choose a local five-star hotel. Weâll limit the per capita price to about 30,000 yuan, while frontline workers will be given subsidies of the same value. There wonât be any difference in treatment.â
âSure.â
Lin Yi had no concept of money, so he didnât point ask any more questions about this.
âArrange this matter as soon as possible. Can it be finalized in three days?â
âWellâ¦â
Qixianzhuo paused for a moment. âThere is no problem with the travel plan. However, many of the team members are still busy with works, so Iâm afraid they wonât be able to take care of everything so soon.â
âTry your best to arrange it. If it doesnât work out, just work overtime. Take overtime pay as per usual. Just arrange this matter as soon as possible. Donât waste time.â
âGot it.â
âOh, by the way, donât say that I was the one who arranged this. Just say that it was you who arranged it. Also, make sure He Yuanyuan doesnât find out about this.â
âUmâ¦â
Qi Xianzhao didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âAlright, Iâll take the blame.â
âYou truly understand me.â Lin Yi laughed heartily. âBy the way, donât forget to promote the trip on our official website. Events that reflect our dedication to our employees should be highlighted.â
âUnderstood,â Qi Xianzhao said with a smile.
It was obvious that he was an old capitalist.
After explaining everything, Qi Xianzhao left Lin Yiâs office.
Lin Yi placed his feet on the desk.
This was the only thing he could do now.
If he took the initiative to contact Caie Mitsui, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
He could only release the news himself, but whether Caie Mitsui would respond depended on his luck.
Lin Yi spent the entire afternoon at the Lingyun Group, thinking about whether the plan had been left behind.
Then, at around four oâclock, they went to pick up Ji Qingyan from work, and the two of them went home for dinner.
Ji Qingyan was wearing a black dress with white dots that accentuated her slender waist. She carried a limited edition Hermes bag on her shoulder as she made a call and walked towards her car.
âDonât worry, Iâll be right there.â
âMy boyfriend isnât at home. You can stay at my place tonight.â
Lin Yi was speechless..
