The next morning, Lin Yi woke up in a daze, but he couldnât get out of bed.
It was not because she had been sealed by the blanket, but because Ji Qingyanâs legs were pressed against his body.
As Lin Yi moved Ji Qingyanâs thigh away, he also fondled it a few times.
Even if he could not make claps of love with her, he could entertain himself with just this leg for a few years.
Eventually, he got off the bed and stretched lazily before covering Ji Qingyan with a blanket and heading to the bathroom.
Lin Yi wasnât in a hurry to wash up. He sat on the toilet and called Ning Che.
âHow are things on your end?â
âItâs all good. These people are all honest. No one is causing trouble.â
âDid Yushi Mitsui call?â
âNo, other than those three calls, I havenât heard anything.â
âNot even a phone call?â
âNot even one.â
âAlright, i understand.â Lin Yi looked at his watch and said.
âGather around 11 p.m. and take a bus to the airport. Book a flight and go home. Let Kenji Takayama and the others fend for themselves.â
âAlright, got it.â
After chatting for a while, Lin Yi hung up and brushed his teeth with a toothbrush.
More than 30 hours had passed since the incident the day before.
During this period, Yushi Mitsui only made three phone calls. After that, there was no news at all.
Such calmness was not a good thing.
At this moment, Lin Yi became even more nervous.
He did not believe that Yushi Mitsui would let this matter go so easily.
However, Lin Yi was also praying that he would be lucky.
He hoped that Yushi Mitsui would not act so quickly.
After 11 p.m., it would be too late even if he wanted to make a move.
Creakâ¦
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about this, the bathroom door was pushed open. Ji Qingyan walked in in her pajamas with messy hair.
Her fair and delicate face was without makeup. She was elegant and otherworldly, with a beauty that was untainted.
âWhy didnât you call me when you woke up? If I woke up late, I would have made others wait.â
Ji Qingyan squeezed out some toothpaste and used her butt to push Lin Yi to the side. She occupied the position at the center of the mirror and began brushing her teeth.
âWeâre here to relax. Why are you in such a hurry?â
âItâs mainly because there are outsiders with us. Itâs impolite to make others wait.â
âDonât worry. Weâre all on the same side. No one cares about such things.â
Soon, the two of them finished washing up and went to the restaurant on the second floor.
âHello, President Lin. Hello, President Ji.â
Along the way, they encountered many employees of the Lingyun Group. When they saw the two of them, they stopped to greet them.
The two of them waved their hands in response and went to the innermost table.
He Yuanyuan and the others were already waiting there.
âIn the future, you couples need to be more punctual. Director Tian and I have been waiting here for more than 20 minutes,â Qin Han complained.
âThis trip is like a honeymoon. They have to take this opportunity to go crazy. Otherwise, what would be the point? Itâs normal to wake up late,â Tian Yan teased.
âThatâs where youâre wrong. Old Liang hasnât come down yet. You canât just point fingers at us,â Gao Zongyuan said.
âHe just canât change his personality. He probably couldnât hold it in last night and got someone to fight with him. He might still be in bed.â
Qin Han held his phone. âIâll give him a call.â
Beep, beep, beepâ¦
Beep, beep, beepâ¦
Beep, beep, beepâ¦
The phone rang for more than a minute, but no one picked up until the call automatically ended.
âWhat is he doing? Itâs already past nine oâclock. Why isnât he getting up?â Qin Han said.
âMaybe his battle last night was too intense. He might have worked too hard is now exhausted and sleeping on the bed.â
âThen letâs not worry about him. Letâs eat first. Iâm starving.â
Qin Han put away his phone and did not overthink it.
If Tian Yan hadnât come, he might have waited for a while out of respect for women. However, he was so familiar with Liang Jinming that he didnât care.
Everyone was thinking the same thing. As a man, it didnât matter what happened to him.
Lin Yi was about to pick up his chopsticks when his heart suddenly beat faster and his arm froze in midair.
No one else had noticed this tiny movement, except for Ji Qingyan.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you feeling unwell?â
âYou guys eat first. Iâll go check on Old Liang.â
âWhy are you looking at him? A living person wonât just go missing. Heâll eat by himself when he comes down later,â Qin Han said.
Lin Yi did not say anything and turned to leave.
Ji Qingyan stood up and wanted to follow him, but Lin Yi ignored her and walked straight to the elevator.
Lin Yi took the elevator to the 27th floor and knocked on Liang Jinmingâs door. There was no response for a long time.
Then, he took the universal room card in his hand and opened the door. He found that the bed was as good as new without a single wrinkle.
Obviously, he did not come back to stay here last night.
Suddenly, Lin Yiâs heart raced. He quickly took out his phone and called Liang Jinming.
He called three times in a row, but no one picked up.
An ominous feeling filled Lin Yiâs heart.
And this was the last thing he wanted to see.
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was a call from Liang Jinming.
âWhere are you? !â
The call went through, and Lin Yi hurriedly asked.
âMr. Lin.â
It wasnât Liang Jinming who spoke. It was a womanâs voice.
Lin Yi recognized who it was.
Shoko Nakajima!
âWhereâs Liang Jinming?!â
âHeâs with us,â Shoko Nakajima said in an almost icy voice.
âLet him go.â
âIâm sorry, I canât do it,â Shoko Nakajima said. âThe leader said that he wants you to bring him something in exchange for his life.â
Lin Yiâs expression was extremely ugly, like a beast that was ready to devour a man.
âI need to talk to him.â
âPlease wait a moment.â
After Shoko Nakajima finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
He could vaguely hear the voices on the other side, but because the voices were too soft, he could not hear what the other party was saying.
âBrother Lin.â
A few minutes later, Liang Jinmingâs voice came from the other end of the phone.
âThey didnât do anything to you, right?â Lin Yi asked softly.
âNo. Itâs my fault. I didnât think she was like that.â
âItâs not your fault, itâs mine,â Lin Yi said, âDonât be afraid, I will definitely bring you back.â
âBrother Lin, call the police. If they dare to touch me, the Liang family will definitely kill them!â
âYou donât have to worry about this. Iâll handle it. Let Shoko Nakajima take the phone.â
âMr. Lin, please speak.â
Lin Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
âIs Yushi Mitsui with you?â
âYes.â
âLiang Jinming is my brother. If you dare touch him even once, iâll kill your entire family. You have the guts to mess with ores, letâs see if you have the guts to face death!â
After that, Lin Yi paused for a moment.. âShoko Nakajima, that includes you!â
