âWhatâs wrong? You scared me,â Gao Zongyuan said.
âYou know how I tipped a female streamer just now? After she went offline, I scrolled through TikTok and saw a guy who looked exactly like Brother Lin. They looked like the same person.â
âF*ck, is this for real? Let me take a look.â
Qin Han took the phone and looked at the video.
Indeed, he realized that the person was especially similar to Lin Yi.
Then, Qin Han gave the phone to the next person. The other three shared the same thoughts.
Although it was a little blurry, the person inside, be it his figure or the silhouette of his side profile, was almost identical to Lin Yi.
The video was of Lin Yi competing with Zhu Jinwoo on Xiangshan Mountain.
However, because it was secretly recorded by a member of the audience, the video was not stable, and it was not very clear.
So much so that the five of them could not see the person clearly.
And there was an inevitable reason why this video could become popular.
The famous Xiyun Temple in Xiangshan Mountain turned out to be a gathering place for scammers. Their so-called Taoist internal force and lightness skills were not even enough to beat an ordinary person. This was enough to make this video a hot topic.
However, the people there were usually busy with work. They didnât have much time to surf TikTok. Even if they did, they would be like Liang Jinming, giving tips to the female livestreamers.
That was why he stumbled across this video today.
After this, the few of them searched for related videos, but the content and angle were all similar.
This was especially true for Ji Qingyan. She stared at her phone for a long time, and even her body began to tremble.
âI feel that this person is Lin Yi. He really doesnât seem to be dead.â
If she had said those words just now, He Yuanyuan, Qin Han, and the others would definitely think that she was suffering from hypochondria.
But now, combined with this video and the missing photo frame, this matter seemed to have developed in a strange direction.
However, no one could say for sure what exactly happened.
âDonât just sit there. Letâs look around and see if we can find any other clear videos. This one is too blurry,â Qin Han said.
The few of them took out their phones and started scrolling.
They tried to find other angles of the video before coming to the same conclusion.
âF*ck, I found another one! Isnât this Brother Lin?!â
Gao Zongyuan exclaimed, attracting the groupâs attention.
This time, they were even more excited. They left the table and moved closer to Gao Zongyuan.
However, the video that Gao Zongyuan found was not from Xiyun Temple in Xiangshan Mountain. Instead, it was of the bullying incident that happened at Yucai High School today.
The people who posted the video were teachers from the school and some children from wealthy families who went to school with cell phones.
Compared to the videos of Xiyun Temple in Xiangshan Mountain, the videos recorded at Yucai High School were relatively clearer.
There was even a shot of Lin Yiâs face.
After seeing this video, everyone was even more certain that the person in the video was really Lin Yi!
This time, they were extremely sure that Lin Yi wasnât dead!
He was still alive!
Because it was impossible for two people to be so similar in this world!
The private room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of heavy heartbeats and their panting!
This news was of great significance to them!
After a long time, their emotions slowly calmed down.
âWhat is Brother Lin doing? Why isnât there any news since he came back?â Liang Jinming said.
âLetâs call him and ask. I wonder if his old phone can still be contacted.â
Qin Han took out his phone and was about to call Lin Yi.
At the same time, the gazes of the others also landed on him.
Qin Han dialed Lin Yiâs phone and turned on the loudspeaker.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The phone rang several times until it was about to be automatically hung up. Then, the call was picked up.
âOld Lin? Is it you?â
âWhy are you so excited?â
Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Qin Han could no longer control his emotions.
âWhat the f*ck is going on with you? Why didnât you tell us that you werenât dead? If we hadnât seen your video, we wouldnât have known what was going on!â
âBrother Lin, you motherf*cker! Tell me where you are! F*ck, Iâm going to kill you!â Liang Jinming scolded.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Yi was silent for a few seconds.
âThis was a fake death arranged by the higher-ups. I still have other missions to do, so I canât meet you for the time being. Otherwise, youâll all end up dead.â
Hissâ¦
Lin Yiâs words made Qin Han and the others shiver.
They already knew Lin Yiâs identity from their trip to Yanjing.
He had a very prominent official background, and he was also part of the most secretive unit. Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to carry out overseas missions.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was even more unlikely that his death would attract so many big shots who would pay their respects.
At the thought of this, they could not help but feel their hair stand on end.
What he was enduring in the dark was far heavier than they had imagined.
âWhen will the restrictions on you be lifted?â
âNever.â Lin Yi said.
âEven now, youâre being followed and protected by the military. However, in a few days, it wonât be as strict as it is now. At the very least, it wonât be a problem for us to meet. However, you have to be more careful for now.â
Qin Han raised his head and stole a glance at Ji Qingyan.
Realizing that her eyes were red and she had no intention of speaking, he said,
âTake care of yourself. Remember to contact us when the restrictions are lifted.â
âGot it. Iâll hang up first.â
Qin Han hung up the phone, but the private room was still silent.
It was also at this moment that Ji Qingyanâs tears broke the silence.
She put her hands on the table and wailed.
To others, this was something to be happy about, but to Ji Qingyan, it was an exceptionally complicated matter.
Countless emotions were intertwined at this moment. She needed to vent them in this way.
But at the end of the day, this was a good thing.
After a while, she would calm down and everything would be fine.
He Yuanyuan gently caressed her back in an attempt to comfort her.
âSenior Sister, donât cry. At least you know that heâs fine. This is a blessing in disguise.â
âOld Linâs identity is different from ours. They had no choice but to do this. Itâll be fine after a while. We just have to wait for the news.â
âOld Lin is really too much. Why did he work so hard to do such a thing? Isnât it good to be a rich man?â
âIf Old Lin really remained just a proper entrepreneur, he wouldnât be at ease.â Qin Han said,
âThink about it. Elder Lin has done so much for us in secret. How much has our market value increased during this period of time? If not for him, how could everything have been smooth sailing?â
They all fell silent.
It was only then that they noticed.
In reality, they had always been under Lin Yiâs protection.
