Zhao Qiang was stunned by Lin Yi.
He didnât expect Lin Yi to receive such treatment in Huaqing Lake!
âLetâs go.â
Lin Yi called out and brought Number 18 and the other three technicians to the private room.
âOld Zhao, whatâs wrong with this kid? Isnât he being a little too pretentious?â Zhao Qiangâs friend said.
âAnd from the way he spoke, did something unpleasant happen between the two of you?â
Zhao Qiang did not avoid it and told his friend what had just happened.
However, he did not say much about being beaten up. After all, it was quite embarrassing.
âI reckon that this brat should be a regular customer of Huaqing Lake. Otherwise, he wouldnât be able to receive such treatment,â Zhao Qiangâs friend said.
âDamn it, heâs been going against me time and time again. I have to teach him a lesson today.â
Zhao Qiangâs friend took out his phone. âIâve met a few big brothers in the underworld recently. Every one of them is quite capable. Iâll call them and help you settle this matter.â
âBrother Hua, thereâs no need to trouble you with such a small matter.â Zhao Qiang said with a gloomy expression.
âI also have many friends in the underworld. Iâll call them now. I have to get back at him.â
â¦
After going up, Lin Yi took a quick shower and returned to the private room.
One of them massaged his feet, two on his arms, and one on his shoulders. Even the emperors of ancient times didnât enjoy their lives as much as Lin Yi did now.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, had been resting with his eyes closed. He didnât chat with these technicians like usual.
For him, everything had returned to normal. There was nothing for him to worry about anymore.
Ji Qingyan was the only thing left. Once she was dealt with, this storm would be over.
But that was the problem. How was he going to deal with her?
With her temper and personality, it would probably be very difficult for her to accept this.
It was impossible to start the conversation.
But this situation might not be as impenetrable as it seemed. There was a slight breakthrough point.
Ji Qingyanâs parents.
If he could win over her parents, he would have two more allies around her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Occasional hints and subtle suggestions could definitely be effective.
Even if he couldnât win them over completely, he could still influence her attitude, making it less aggressive.
Given the current situation, he needed to use a slow, gradual approach, like boiling a frog in warm water.
However, there was a problem.
If Ji Qingyanâs parents were aware of the situation between him and Liang Ruoxu, he would have no chance.
So when the opportunity arose, he needed to subtly test their attitude.
If her parents were unaware of his relationship with Liang Ruoxu, everything would be fine.
Otherwise, he would be in real trouble.
âHmm?â
As Lin Yi pondered these matters, he suddenly remembered something.
Song Jinmin had mentioned that his mother had been in Zhonghai all this time, and she had been staying with Ji Qingyan!
This made it even easier for him to gather information.
Lin Yi smacked his lips and realized he would have to rely on his mother to act as an informant.
With this thought, Lin Yi opened his eyes. âDoes anyone here have a phone? I need to borrow it.â
âUse mine, President Lin.â
Technician Number 18 took out her phone enthusiastically.
Lin Yi took the phone and dialed Qin Yingyueâs number.
The reason for this was to prevent himself from being exposed.
If his mother and Ji Qingyan were together, he would be exposed if he called her.
After the phone rang a few times, Qin Yingyueâs voice came from the other end.
âHello, who is this?â
âMom, itâs me.â
âSon!â
Qin Yingyue was extremely excited when she heard Lin Yiâs voice. She did not expect Lin Yi to call her at this time.
âMom, keep your voice down,â Lin Yi said.
âSheâs not with you, is she?â
Although he didnât say her name, Qin Yingyue knew who Lin Yi was talking about.
âPreviously, we went to Doora together. After we came back, she started returning to the company to work. Iâm at your house and thereâs no one else around.â
Hearing this, Lin Yi was relieved.
At the same time, he also confirmed that she had gone to Doora a few days ago.
She was the one who had put the photo frame there. She didnât ask someone else to do this.
âWhen did you get back? Who are you calling from?â
âI just came back yesterday afternoon and borrowed someoneâs phone,â Lin Yi said.
âHow is she these days?â
âSheâs much better now, but sheâs still depressed. Sheâs lost weight. She doesnât eat much every day.â
Lin Yi felt a mix of emotions but didnât know what to do.
âAnd she told me sheâs planning to move out of Jiuzhou Pavilion in a few days,â Qin Yingyue said.
âMoving out?â
âMaybe she wants to avoid being reminded of you,â Qin Yingyue replied.
âI didnât stop her. Staying at Jiuzhou Pavilion might just make her more unhappy. But what about you? Have you thought of a way to handle this?â
âI have, which is why I called you,â Lin Yi said.
âHave you had any contact with Ji Qingyanâs parents while youâve been in Zhonghai?â
âI actually met them once,â Qin Yingyue replied.
âThey thought you were dead and came to Jiuzhou Pavilion. We had a meal together.â
âHer parents shouldnât know about me and Liang Ruoxu, right?â
âIf they knew, do you think they would still have had dinner with me?â
âIn fact, not many people know about it. The Liang family quickly suppressed the news.â
âThatâs great,â Lin Yi sighed in relief. As long as her parents didnât know, he had a way in.
âWhy are you asking about this?â
Lin Yi didnât hide anything and spoke truthfully.
âIâm planning to use her parents as a starting point to slowly persuade her. This way, I might have a chance.â
âThat makes sense.â
Qin Yingyue sighed. âPlease solve this quickly. Seeing her like this makes me feel bad too. And as her mother, I feel terrible for having to help you deceive her. I canât sleep well at night.â
Lin Yi thought his mother was too kind. This kind of thing should be left to his mysterious father.
âGot it. Iâll try to resolve this as soon as possible.â
âAnd about your other affairs, I wonât say much else. But please donât get involved with other women anymore. My heart isnât good, and I canât handle this stress.â
âGot it. Iâll hang up first.â
âOkay.â
After hanging up, Lin Yi was in a good mood and subconsciously started humming a tune.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just then, there was a banging on the door. It seemed to be someones kicks.
âWho is it?â
Lin Yi asked, but no one replied.
The people outside were still kicking the door forcefully.
