âI heard that in Huaxia, after a person dies, they have to eat and receive gifts. These friends of yours are probably quite rich. After you die, you can collect tens of millions.â
âSigh, sigh, sigh. No matter what, youâre still my fatherâs subordinate. If this were in ancient times, 1 would be considered your young master. Can you be more respectful to me? Do 1 lack tens of millions?â
âNo matter how small a mosquitoâs leg is, itâs still meat,â Song Jinmin said with a cigarette in his mouth. âIâll bring you a pork knuckle when we have the banquet later.â
âForget the banquet for now, letâs handle the important stuff first.â
âAlright.â
Song Jinmin drove according to Lin Yiâs instructions, heading towards Water Wrapped Hot Springs.
At the crematorium, after collecting the ashes, Zhao Quanfeng carried them out.
With that, all of Lin Yiâs funeral arrangements were completed.
They did not bother with the banquet and gifts.
Because those attending the memorial were so wealthy, the usual customs were skipped.
However, according to Zhao Quanfeng and Wang Cuiping, given the number of people who came, they had to prepare at least a few tables of food.
After all, it was already noon, and people still needed to eat.
But those who came to pay their respects declined the invitation.
No one had the heart to eat now.
Because of this, the elderly couple didnât insist further. They didnât have the energy to manage such things anyway.
As everyone left, the family stood at the main entrance, thanking each guest individually. Although it was simple, all the necessary courtesies were observed.
After leaving the crematorium, Ji Qingyan and the others returned to the hotel.
Ever since she left the crematorium, she had been hugging âLin Yiâs ashesâ, unwilling to let go.
Zhao Quanfu and Wang Cuiping wanted to place the ashes in Zhonghai.
In the end, Ji Qingyan rejected her.
Lin Yiâs hometown was in Yangcheng, so it was better to return to his roots.
With the Central Guards Brigadeâs status in the military, Lin Yi and Zhou Liang could be placed in the Martyrsâ Cemetery.
After staying in the hotel for a while, everyone calmed down a little and prepared to return to Yangcheng.
At the same time, Lin Yi and Song Jinmin had already finished bathing and were waiting for the technicianâs service in the private room.
Lin Yi placed his hands behind his head. There was no expression on his face, and his mood was complicated.
Because on the way here, he had heard something.
Her relationship with Liang Ruoxu had been exposed, and Ji Qingyan already knew about it.
This made Lin Yi unable to calm down for a long time.
He had been thinking of ways to deal with this matter in a balanced manner.
Now, before he could think of a solution, he was first exposed.
Because of this, Lin Yi was even more certain that the Wang family was behind this.
Most people would not be able to hide it from him and secretly take photos of Liang Ruoxu, nor would they have a motive.
The Wang family fulfilled all the conditions. After he died, they would expose this matter and ruin his reputation.
This plan was really sinister.
Although he could escape for a while now, he still had to go back in a few days. He did not know how to face this matter.
Or rather, how should he face Ji Qingyan?
âTo be honest, I realized that you have quite a lot of connections. You seem to be quite popular.â
While enjoying the massage, Song Jinmin said with a smile.
âWhat happened?â
âLook at this. This news is already online.â
Lin Yi took Song Jinminâs phone, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
âMr. Lin, I wish you the best of luck. All the technicians of Zhonghaiâs Huaqing Lake salute you.â
âHave a safe journey, President Lin. 1 wish you a blissful journey â Zhonghai Yingzun Waterfall Technician No. 18.â
âMay Heaven have no illnesses and pains. May President Linâs magnanimity last forever. All the staff of Zhonghai Bathing Valley salute him.â
âThank you, President Lin, for giving me a home. I will always remember President Linâs death. You will always live in our hearts. All the technicians of Zhonghai Happy Meal salute you.â
Lin Yiâs expression was ugly. He scrolled down and found that there were a total of more than twenty bath centers with corresponding banners.
Lin Yi didnât know what to say. It was true that he had supported them, but they didnât have to be so high-profile.
And this series of events even reached the trending searches.
âWho is President Lin of Zhonghai?â
Moreover, there was a very popular discussion on the post.
âMay I ask how much President Linâs departure has affected Zhonghaiâs bathing business?â
âF*ck, these people are so bored that they ruined my good reputation.â
âThe prosperity of Zhonghaiâs bathing industry is inseparable from your support,â Song Jinmin said.
âI was wondering why I found you pleasing to the eye from the first time 1 saw you. I didnât expect us to be kindred spirits.â
âLikewise.â
In the Wang family villa, Wang Tingshan and Chen Chufeng were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea. The former looked at his watch and said,
âAt this point, the memorial service is probably over.â
âWell, this doesnât have much to do with us anymore. Once Lin Yi dies, this matter will be over.â Chen Chufeng said.
âBut over the next few years, the Wang family will still have to hide their strength and bide their time. As long as Lu Beichen is still alive, we canât make any big moves.â
Wang Tingshan nodded. âItâs all thanks to Lin Yi that the Wang family is where they are today. I just regret not killing him earlier.â
âFate has its own timing. What is meant to be will happen, and what isnât meant to be shouldnât be forced. It may seem late, but itâs all part of destiny. We should accept it with a calm heart.â
âIt would have been better to kill him face to face. Doing it this way doesnât feel satisfying,â Wang Mian said.
âGreat achievers donât sweat the small stuff. As long as the outcome is correct, thatâs all that matters.â
âUnderstood, Elder Chen.â
Creakâ¦
As the three talked, the sound of brakes came from outside. Li Mi hurried in, his steps brisk.
âMaster, thereâs a problem at the memorial. Lin Jingzhan has returned.â
âWhat did you say? Lin Jingzhan has returned?â
Wang Tingshan shot up from his chair, his face dark with anger.
Chen Chufeng, on the other hand, although not as visibly agitated as Wang Tingshan, reacted with a grim expression. The name Lin Jingzhan was like a forbidden taboo!
If Lin Jingzhan hadnât left back then, Yanjing might not be in its current state. âLin Yi is really his son?â
Li Mi nodded.
âQin Family, Zhao Family, Gu Family, Lu Family, and Sun Family went there to make a scene after learning of Lin Yiâs death. However, Lin Jingzhan appeared and suppressed the five families so much that they didnât dare to raise their heads. Not only did he make them bow on the spot, but he also made Qin Yinglong kneel on the ground.â
When he spoke, Li Mi was very calm because he was young and did not know what had happened back then.
However, Wang Tingshan and Chen Chufeng were different.
Even though more than 20 years had passed, that period of dominance still could not be erased from their hearts..
