Chapter 1860: Chapter 1860: They Exchanged Their Lives for It

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Young man, I quite understand how you feel.” The middle-aged man said earnestly.

“But you have to pay attention to how you act, don’t you think?”

“You’re right,” Lin Yi said, “But am I doing anything wrong? I’m not affecting anyone, right?”

The middle-aged man was at a loss for words. Although you didn’t affect others, you scared them!

“How about this? Can you come again at another time, or when there are fewer people?”

Lin Yi frowned slightly. “Why?”

“Well…”

“Maybe you’ve not seen someone pay their respects in this way before,” Lin Yi said, “But don’t worry, I’m a normal person. I’m not sick.”

Look at what you’re saying. Even a mentally ill person says that he’s not sick.

“This is my ID. This proves it, right?”

Seeing the military ID Lin Yi handed over, the middle-aged man was stunned because he was a retired soldier.

The middle-aged man became even more respectful when he opened the military ID!

From the looks of it, this man was only in his twenties, but he had actually become a lieutenant colonel!

This had never happened in the history of Huaxia!

How much merit did he have to make to have this honor!

“Greetings, Sir!”

The middle-aged man gave Lin Yi a standard military salute.

“You don’t have to do this. Go ahead and do your thing. Leave me alone for a while.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Go ahead. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

The administrator turned around and left. Then, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and walked out.

At this moment, the mother and daughter who had reported Lin Yi stopped him.

“Brother, why hasn’t he left yet? He’s just been talking to himself. It’s scary.” The middle-aged woman patted her chest and said.

“I don’t have the right to chase a person like that away, but don’t worry. Everyone has their own way of paying their respects. He’s fine.”

“No right? You’re the administrator here. Why are you not qualified?”

“He’s a lieutenant colonel. I was a second-stage sergeant before I retired from the army. He’s my boss. I don’t have the right to talk to him.”

“No way, such a young lieutenant colonel?”

The middle-aged woman obviously did not know what this military rank meant, but her daughter understood very well.

“I looked at his ID. He’s genuinely a lieutenant colonel.” The administrator sighed and said,

“It’s really extraordinary to be able to reach that rank in his twenties. In other words, our people are able to have such a good life today because those men traded their lives for it. So just bear with it. This is not easy for them either.”

The administrator’s words moved everyone present.

Just as he had said, these people had traded their lives for the good days of today.

This time, everyone looked at Lin Yi with respect.

Although the way he expressed his condolences was a little scary, he was still a good person!

On the other side, in front of Zhou Liang’s tombstone, Lin Yi finished the white wine in one gulp. At the same time, the wine in the other bottle was deeply soaked into the soil, as if it had really been transmitted to that distant place.

Ring ring ring!

Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a call from Ning Che.

“Where are you?”

“The cemetery. I came to visit.”

“Wrap it up and come back. 1 bought you a new set of clothes to try on. Later, we’re going out to eat. 1 heard it’s the top-ranked hot pot in the area, and the taste is supposed to be amazing.”

“Alright, I’ll head back now.”

Lin Yi wasn’t particularly interested in trying on clothes or eating. The main reason was that the alcohol was finished, and he had said what he needed to say. It was time to return.

He placed the remaining half pack of cigarettes on Zhou Liang’s tombstone.

Before leaving, he took a deep, lingering look at it, then turned and walked away.

In the hotel, the two had bought quite a few things, a total of over a dozen items of various sizes.

“You know, the styles of clothes here are different. Many of these aren’t even available in Yanjing. This trip was definitely worth it.”

“Can you be more attentive?” Qiu Yuluo said, “We’re here for business.”

“You still have the cheek to criticize me?” Ning Che said.

“Who bought more than ten thousand yuan worth of cosmetics? Are you here to do something serious?”

“The cosmetics I bought were expensive, unlike you, who bought so many bags.”

“What’s the difference? You’re the one who goes crazy when seeing makeup, right?”

“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Qiu Yuluo stopped the topic. “It’s already past three in the afternoon. When is

Lin Yi coming back? I’m starving.”

Ning Che looked at his watch. “He was at the cemetery when I called him. It’s been more than half an hour. He should be back soon. Let’s wait a little longer.” “Then I’ll try on the makeup.”

“Let me try your lipstick. I think the color is especially nice.”

Qiu Yuluo shielded her cosmetics behind her back. “If the color is nice, why didn’t you buy it yourself?”

“Since you’ve already bought it, wouldn’t it be a waste for me to buy it again?

I’ll just use yours.”

“F*ck!” Qiu Yuluo said.

“I’m going to take a shower. If you want to try it, use it yourself.”

“Hurry up and wash up. I’ll go after you’re done. I have to change into my new dress.”

“You should change into your underwear. 1 think you’ll be wearing it tonight.”

“Don’t be so direct. How embarrassing. Haha… dang dang dang…”

Just as the two of them were teasing each other, they heard a knock on the door.

“Quite fast, aren’t you? You’re back so quickly.”

Ning Che didn’t think too much and went to open the door.

However, when he opened the door, he realized that it wasn’t Lin Yi at all.

“What are you doing here?!”

Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che both recognized the person standing outside the door!

Wei Yulong and Zhu Junchi!

Seeing that it was the two of them who came in, Qiu Yuluo abandoned her plans for the shower and stood with Ning Che.

They wanted to know why the two of them were here.

However, they were certain that it was not for anything good.

Because neither she nor Ning Che had any interactions with them.

The two of them walked in as Zhu Junchi looked at them and said,

“I was going to ask you, why are you here instead of in Yanjing?”

“Does this have anything to do with you? Aren’t you interfering with our lives a bit too much?”

Ning Che said indifferently, not taking the two of them seriously at all.

“Oh my, it’s different now that you’re the team leader. You even dare to talk to us in such a tone?” Zhu Junchi said playfully.

“You can think of it that way.” Ning Che leaned against the wall and said indifferently.

“I am the team leader, and you are the team members. No matter how you look at it, I’m a rank higher than you two. So, ordering you around is reasonable and justified, isn’t it?”

“Heh… Don’t you think you’re getting a bit too arrogant?” Zhu Junchi sneered.

“I could understand it before, when you had Lin Yi backing you up. Most people wouldn’t mess with you. But Lin Yi is dead now, and you still act so high and mighty.. I have to ask, do you really think you’re that important?”
