âCan you be serious for once? Is that really a reason?â
Qju Yukio said, exasperated, feeling helpless against Ning Che.
She even felt a bit out of place being there.
Without her here, they might have already started going at it.
âIâm just expressing my true nature, unlike you, always holding back,â Ning Che replied.
âAnyway, Iâm coming with you. Iâm just as idle, so consider it a mission to keep my skills sharp.â
Knock, knock, knock!
âCome in.â
As they were talking, there was a knock on the office door, and Qju Yuluo called out in response.
Crackâ¦
The door lock was unlocked, and Xiao Bing, Yu Siying, and the others walked in.
âSister Qiu, Sister Ning, Linâ¦â
âAlt!â
Before Xiao Bing could greet them, she suddenly saw Lin Yi sitting next to Ning Che!
The two of them were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
The others in Team i were the same. They stood rooted to the ground as if they had been petrified.
They subconsciously retreated to the door. Their legs were numb.
âYou, who are youâ¦â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Siying grabbed the corner of Zhang Chaoâs shirt behind her. Clearly, she was also nervous.
âCalm down, Iâm not dead,â Lin Yi said, âIt was Elder Lu who arranged for me to fake my death.â
âFame your death?â
Hearing Lin Yiâs familiar voice, everyone was pulled back to reality.
There are still many things to we have to do in secret, so we planned this out. Everyone, calm down and get to talking.â
Xiao Bing helped Sui Qiang stand up and patted the dust off her butt. Like the others, she kept staring at Lin Yi.
It was as if she wanted to dig out something from his body.
âBrother Lin, itâs great that youâre not dead!â
Xiao Bing screamed and pounced on Lin Yi, hugging his neck and crying. âBoohoo⦠You scared me to death. We thought you were really deadâ¦â The others were also overjoyed and gathered in front of Lin Yi.
The indescribable joy made them speechless. They did not know what words to use to express their feelings.
All of them could only smile foolishly. Their mouths were about to split open to their ears.
âAlright, alright. Calm down. Itâs not a big deal.â
Lin Yi smiled and comforted her. He felt like his life had meaning for him to be able to lead a group of subordinates like this.
âIf it werenât for you, Team i would have dispersed.â Xiao Bing wiped her tears and said, âThere would be no point in us staying here.â
âI heard about your retirement application. Get them to reject it later. Iâm not dead yet. Work hard here.â
âOkay!â
âGuys, letâs not sit here anymore. Iâm going to book a table. Letâs drink until weâre drunk!â Luo Qi said.
Lin Yi and the other two had nothing to do, so they agreed.
But Lin Yi didnât go straightaway. Instead, he went to the hospital.
Although he knew Li Chuhanâs situation like the back of his hand in the past few days in Chengdu, he still had to check her out.
When they arrived at the hospital, they found that Li Chuhanâs ward was surrounded by a large group of people. The older ones were in their forties or fifties, and the younger ones were in their thirties. They surrounded Li Chuhan.
Lin Yi originally thought that the doctors were here to check on Li Chuhanâs condition, but he didnât expect them to be discussing academic issues.
Lin Yi couldnât help but laugh. It seemed like she had almost recovered. Otherwise, she wouldnât have had the energy to discuss these questions.
As if sensing something, Li Chuhan turned her head and saw Lin Yi behind the crowd through the gap. Her face could not help but reveal a hint of joy.
However, Li Chuhan didnât say much. He continued to discuss the cardiology departmentâs case with the doctors of Union Medical College Hospital.
This could be considered an exchange of experience.
Invisibly, Li Chuhan sped up, hoping to end this discussion as soon as possible.
About half an hour later, everyone left and Lin Yi walked in.
âBrother Lin, youâre back!â
Seeing Lin Yi, Qiao Xin welcomed him.
âHow is it? The situation has been pretty good these few days, right?â
âEverythingâs fine. If I hadnât been waiting for you, I would have been discharged tomorrow.â
âThen quickly leave the hospital. No matter how good a hospital is, itâs still a hospital.â
âAre we going back to Zhonghai?â Qiao Xin asked.
âWait, I have other things to do. Iâll go back after Iâm done.â Lin Yi said.
âStay in a hotel for the next few days and take this opportunity to stroll around Yanjing.â
âAlright, Iâll listen to you.â
As long as Lin Yi was around, Li Chuhan usually didnât have any opinions. She would do whatever he said.
After staying with Li Chuhan in the hospital for a while, Lin Yi returned to the restaurant and met up with Team 1.
The place where they were eating was a Chuansheng restaurant. They booked a large private room and prepared to get drunk.
The ten of them ordered more than twenty dishes. This kind of behavior was considered extravagant.
However, no one ate anything. They drank bottle after bottle, followed by white wine.
This was their way of expressing their joy.
A few hours later, about a hundred bottles of beer went down their stomachs before they drank four more bottles of Maotai.
Everyone was in a slightly tipsy state. The atmosphere in the private room was no longer so noisy.
âBrother Lin, are we going to avenge Zhou Liang?â Sui Qiang asked in a low voice.
In their eyes, Zhou Liangâs death was caused by Black Snake. They did not know that the Wang Family was behind it.
Therefore, for a long time, the imaginary enemy in their hearts was Black Snake.
Lin Yi held his glass and took another sip.
I m preparing for this. I might be going in the next few days.â
Hearing this, everyoneâs eyes lit up.
âWeâll go with you!â Zhao Yunhu said, âWe must take revenge!â
Lin Yi nodded and said nothing.
Because there was no way he could refuse.
They were also members of Team 1. Team 1 naturally had to take revenge for the members of Team 1!
âEveryone, get ready. We can set off at any time!â
âGood!â
That evening, after dinner, Lin Yi went to the hospital. He stayed with Li Chuhan overnight and the next day handled her discharge, settling them into a hotel.
The next day at noon, Lin Yi met Song Jimnin at their usual spot in Water Wrapped Hot Springs.
Song Jimnin, looking as disheveled as ever, filled the room with smoke when Lin Yi arrived.
âAre you ready?â
Song Jimnin nodded. âBlack Snake is divided into two parts. One part is the group you encountered in Chepopur. They mainly conduct overseas operations, handling robbery and other criminal activities. The other group is on the island. You donât need to worry about them because their operations are mostly separate. But if you donât want to let any of them go, I can take care of them once I return to the island. Itâs not a big deal.â
Lin Yi listened silently. âWhere is their base?â
âIn Baraw, a small town in Somal,â Song Jimnin replied.
âBut there are no direct flights from Zhonghai. Youâll need to go to Dubai first, then catch a connecting flight to Mogash, and from there drive to Barawe. Thatâs basically how weâll get there.â
âAlright, Iâll go prepare and leave soon.â
âAre you in such a hurry?â
âDo you have anything else to do?â
âI added three more hours, so itâll end around at three oâclock.â
âDamn!â
