The two of them nodded in agreement.

“Do you have any countermeasures?”

Lin Yi shrugged. “The situation on both sides has changed. The enemy is in the dark while I’m in the light. All we can do is wait.”

“Should we send some people to protect your relatives and friends?” Qiu Yuluo asked.

“There’s no need for that. I’ve already arranged this in advance.”

Lin Yi said,

“Moreover, generally speaking, at the Wang family’s level, they wouldn’t do such a lowly thing. Let’s just wait patiently.”

The two of them nodded. Given the current situation, there didn’t seem to be any great solution.

“The two of you go back and inform Boss Liu. 1 have a feeling that they might take the first shot at the Central Guards Brigade.”

“The Central Guards Brigade has an extraordinary status in Huaxia. If they really dare to do this, it’s equivalent to digging their own grave.”

“You’re thinking too much. They won’t dare to split it up, but they will definitely do something. Therefore, tell Boss Liu to be more careful so that he won’t be caught off guard.”

“Okay.”

“Alright, 1 have nothing else happening here. If you have something to do, go ahead and deal with it. You don’t have to waste your time on me.”

“Are you sure you don’t need our help?”

Lin Yi nodded. “1 think Boss Liu needs you guys more, so head back first.”

“We won’t stand on ceremony with you.”

“However, you have to be careful with your family’s business. A fire at the city gate can implicate the whole city. These are all possible scenarios.” Lin Yi said.

“If such a thing really happens, remember to tell me immediately. I can’t guarantee anything else, but 1 can still ensure your family’s safety.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Yi’s words made the two of them feel more at ease.

They packed their things and prepared to leave.

If possible, they wanted to stay here and take care of Lin Yi for a few days.

However, after such a huge incident happened to the Wang family, the latter would definitely make a move.

Just as Lin Yi had said, the Central Guards Brigade was very likely to be the first target. It was better to go back and help Boss Liu keep an eye on things. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After the two of them left, Lin Yi completely regained his freedom.

Even so, the others sent by Lu Beichen stayed in the hospital.

Lin Yi looked at the sky outside and saw that it was getting dark. It was already past four in the afternoon and he planned to have a meal with An Ning and Li Chajin later.

Ring ring ring!

Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a call from Shen Shuyi.

“Aunt Shen.”

“How’s your injury?”

“It’s much better. I just need to stretch it.”

“I have something else to tell you,” Shen Shuyi said.

“Old Lu is going to use this opportunity to investigate the situation in the Northeast. He will use that person called Sun Manjia as a pivotal point. He might need your cooperation.”

“Investigate the situation here?” Lin Yi muttered, “Is he sending an investigation team?”

“That’s right.”

Lin Yi came to a realization.

From the beginning to the end, this was the Wang family’s territory. Now that the Wang family had lost, it was a great opportunity.

Over the years, the Wang family has built its empire here, hosting guests and enjoying prosperity. Now that the foundation of their empire was shaking, everyone else naturally wanted to try to encourage its downfall.

“I understand.” Lin Yi said.

“But Sun Manjia and the others are already under control, and however they are interrogated will be decided by Old Lu. There’s not much 1 can do to help.”

“You silly boy.” Shen Shuyi said, “This is to share the credit with you.”

“Share the credit?”

“Help out and assist as needed, and when the time comes, you can arrange for a few people to secure high-ranking positions. As for other ordinary positions, if you have any ideas, there shouldn’t be any issues with that as long as you coordinate with Mr. Liu,” Lin Yi replied.

“Understood. Thank you, Aunt Shen.”

“Let’s strike while the iron is hot. This might happen over in the next few days. Someone will contact you then,” Shen Shuyi said.

“As for the specifics, you can arrange it yourself.”

“Got it. Thank you, Aunt Shen.”

After hanging up on Shen Shuyi, Lin Yi stretched.

Lu Beichen was so particular. Lin Yi was surprised he was still offering him such significant benefits.

Later that night, Lin Yi called An Ning and Li Chajin and arranged to have a hotpot with mutton and pickled vegetables.

“Xinjin, when will your studies end?” Lin Yi asked as he leaned back in his chair.

“Tomorrow is the last day.” Li Sijin put down her chopsticks and said,

“But everyone asked me to ask you if you can give them a day off. They do not normally get the opportunity to come here, so they want to take a look around.”

“That’s not a problem. My shoulder is injured. If I go back now, I’ll get into trouble.”

“Are you afraid that Sister-in-law will scold you?”

Lin Yi nodded. “It will save me a lot of talking.”

“You have to ask Sister An Ning about this and see if she can arrange for us to stay for a few more days.”

“That’s not a big problem. Director Chen is eager for you to stay here for a few more days.” An Ning understood what Lin Yi meant and said,

“Do you want to stay here for a few more days? I’ll arrange it for you.”

“Maybe a week starting to tomorrow.”

According to Lin Yi’s estimation, he would be able to remove the stitches in a week. He would be fine as long as he changed the dressing on time when he returned home.

Moreover, Ning Yue’s wedding date was approaching, so he had to go back.

Staying for another week seemed to be long enough.

“Then let’s follow that plan. According to the original schedule, we still have a day of formal study tomorrow. I’ll arrange for another four days of this. With two extra days on top of that, it will make up the extra week.”

“No problem.” Lin Yi thought for a moment before looking at An Ning. “How old are you this year?”

“Huh?” An Ning became nervous. “I’m old enough. Why are you asking about my age?”

“I’m just curious.”

“Thirty years old this new year,” An Ning said reluctantly.

“Thirty years old…” Lin Yi muttered, “That’s a little young.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Li Sijin nudged An Ning and said, “Brother Lin likes older mature women…”

An Ning’s face turned red. “Tsk, what does it have to do with me who he likes?”

Lin Yi did not care about what the two of them were talking about. It was h An Ning just that she was a little young. If he helped her get a high-ranking position, she would definitely attract gossip.

After the meal, the three of them split up. Li Sijin returned to the hotel while Lin Yi and An Ning returned to the hospital.

Lin Yi had nothing to do, so he went to An Guohua’s place to take a look around before returning to his ward.

“Daughter, have you guys gone to eat?” Liu Guiqin asked.

“Yes, I just came back from eating,” An Ning said as she put down her handbag.

“I’m just wondering, are you and Lin Yi alright?”

“What could have happened between the two of us? We just had a meal together.” An Ning said, “Besides, there was also someone else.”

“That’s good.” Liu Guiqin held An Ning’s hand and said,

“Lin Yi is indeed outstanding, but we have to see ourselves clearly. You’re not worthy of him, so don’t get any funny ideas..”
