âHuh?â
There was still some spaghetti in her mouth. She puffed up her cheeks and looked at Lin Yi in confusion.
âBrother Lin, youâre so naughty. Youâre teasing me.â
Li Sijinâs face was flushed red. She lowered her head and ate the noodles on her plate, not daring to look at Lin Yi for a long time.
About an hour later, everyone finished their meal and returned to their rooms to rest.
There were also some people who wanted to explore and check out the night scenery of Bingcheng. Li Sijin didnât stop them.
She gave them a few reminders, but did not say much.
After returning to his room, Lin Yi chatted with Ji Qingyan for a while before going to the bathroom to wash up.
At that moment, a WeChat message from Liang Ruoxu arrived.
âWhy is it that every time I send a video call, youâre always showering? Is it intentional?â
âWhat reason would I have to do it intentionally?â Lin Yi said while washing his hair.
âWeâve kissed and touched, so thereâs no need for this.â
âI really want to rush over and kick you.â
âDonât be so violent. Letâs talk nicely.â Lin Yi turned around. âLook at my abs and v-lines. Donât they look good?â
âIâm too lazy to look.â
âThis is why love fades, right?â
âIâve figured something out, youâre just an attention seeker!â
âDonât say that, I just have a bit of talent.â
âI canât be bothered with you.â
Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi. âHowâs the situation over there? Have you brought enough clothes?â
âIâve got everything packed. 1 even bought a pair of cotton pants online, but it turns out they donât offer free shipping in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhonghai regions. Itâs really frustrating. I think your relevant department should do something about this.â
Liang Ruoxu was both angry and amused at the same time. There was really nothing she could do about this clown.
âDid anyone receive you after you got off the plane?â
âWang Yunjiang has a classmate here. Heâs the director of the research institute. He came to pick us up.â
âThatâs good.â
Liang Ruoxu combed her hair. âI asked about the situation in Bingcheng just now. Director Chen from the research institute has gone on a business trip to Fengtian and will only be back tomorrow. When the time comes, Iâll get him to look for you. Just tell me if you have any requests. Heâll cooperate fully with you.â
âThank you, Secretary Liang. Iâll definitely repay you when we return to Zhonghai.â
âYouâre always looking for opportunities to take advantage of me.â
âSigh, donât mock me,â Lin Yi said.
âThereâs indeed a stitch, but Iâm not a brainless needle. What other kinds of needles have you seen before me? You canât attack me baselessly like this.â
âScram, scram, scram.â Liang Ruoxu was so amused that his face turned red. âBy the way, 1 have something to ask you. Did you meet anyone special over there?â
âSomeone special?â Liang Ruoxuâs words alerted Lin Yi.
He had just arrived in the northeast. How could he have met such a strange person?
If there was anything strange, it would be Mr. Sun, who had been so pretentious earlier.
âI didnât. Did something happen?â
âNo.â Liang Ruoxu combed her hair. âThe main thing is that the northeast is the Wang familyâs territory. You know the relationship between the two sides. Iâm afraid that they will find outa about this and cause trouble for you.â
âWang Mianâs family?â
Liang Ruoxu nodded. âAlthough theyâre no longer on top, itâs still one of the top five families in Yanjing. Itâs on par with the Liang family. Donât disregard them.â
âAlright, I understand.â
âThen you can fend for yourself.â
Liang Ruoxu hung up the phone cleanly. Lin Yi continued showering and went back to sleep.
Half an hour after Lin Yi left the airport, a Bombardier 6000 landed in Bingcheng.
The person walking in front was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was muscular and wore a black windbreaker. There was some stubble on his chin. From afar, one could feel a strong sense of oppression.
The manâs name was Sun Manlou. He was the boss of the underground forces in the three provinces of Northeast Huaxia. Some people who were familiar with him were used to calling him the Northeast King. His glorious deeds were also the topic of conversation for countless people after drinking.
There were two other people beside him.
One of them was about the same age as him, but he was wearing a suit. Wearing a suit in this weather could be said to be gentlemanly and cold.
However, the protruding beer made him lose his poise.
The manâs name was Liu Dianjun and he was from Yanjing. In order to discuss a business deal, Sun Manlou brought him to Bingcheng.
The other one was slightly younger. He was in his thirties and was also wearing a black plush windbreaker. He looked a little similar to Sun Manlou.
The manâs name was Sun Manjia, and he was Sun Manlouâs younger brother.
All these years, he had remained by his brotherâs side and had become the second-in-command of the organization.
âI can finally get off and move around.â Liu Dianjun twisted his body. He had been in the sky for nearly an hour, so he was not used to it.
âI didnât expect this little surprise either,â Sun Manlou said.
âBut itâs just a minor issue. People from out of town may not know the rules, so we can teach them how to behave.â
âI know your methods,â Liu Dianjun said.
âThings are different now, with the government cracking down. We just need to make our point, no need to go overboard. Theyâre not outsiders.â
âHaha, I get what you mean,â Sun Manlou lit a cigarette.
âBut when youâre in the Northeast, you still have to follow my Sun Manlouâs way of doing things. We should have a chat.â
âBrother, Iâve already asked someone to investigate.â
Sun Manlou nodded. âLetâs go. Letâs find a place to play first. As for other matters, weâll deal with them when we have time.â
That night, in order to receive Liu Dianjun, Sun Manlou arranged for a roasted whole lamb meal. Then, they went to the bathing center to play. It was not until one oâclock in the morning that they went back to rest.
âBrother, thereâs news from the airport,â Sun Manâs family said in the presidential suite of the hotel.
âWho was it?â
âHeâs not a simple person.â Sun Manjia said.
âA Gulfstream G650 landed in front of us. Itâs owned by Lingyun Group of Zhonghai, but only the president of the company has the right to use it.â
âLingyun Groupâ¦â
Sun Manlou muttered, âThe company that developed the photolithography machine?â
âYes, them.â Sun Manjia said.
âBecause it broke the monopoly of the chip industry, this company has a good reputation among the people. It has a high influence in the semiconductor field.â
âCould the person on the plane be the president of Lingyun Group?â
âWellâ¦â
Sun Manjia hesitated for a few seconds. âIt should be the case, but it doesnât feel like it. Itâs hard to tell.â
âIf it is, then it is. If it isnât, then it isnât. What do you mean when you say âitâs hard to tellâ?â
âFrom the surveillance footage, it does look like it. However, there seems to be a group of villagers beside him. After leaving the airport, they even boarded a bus. This doesnât seem like something a president of a big company should do, so Iâm a little unsure.â
âHuh? Are you sure?â
âYes, Iâm sure. 1 watched the group of farmers on the tapes. They boarded a bus after.â Sun Manlou said.
âAlso, Iâve checked that bus. It belongs to Bingcheng Agricultural Research Institute.â
Sun Manlou frowned, feeling a little confused.
âBy the way, didnât you meet a woman recently who works at the Agricultural Research Institute?â
âDonât mention that b*tch. Sheâs so shameless.â Sun Manjia lit a cigarette and said.
âIf she makes me angry one day, Iâll just drug her and let you have some fun first.â
âDo as you see fit,â Sun Manlou said indifferently.
âLetâs confirm who the person who dared to land before me is first. If itâs really that person called Lin Yi, you should invite him over. 1 really want to meet him.â
âI have a feeling thatâll be tough,â Sun Manjia said.
âHe knew who you are, yet he landed ahead of you. People like that certainly wonât be obedient.â
