A loud slap suddenly sounded like a clap of thunder.

Tears streamed down Ji Qingyan’s face as she turned around and left angrily.

However, the moment she opened the car door, Lin Yi’s voice rang out.

“Drive slowly.”

Ji Qingyan’s body trembled as she opened the car door and returned to the car. The engine roared.

The Maserati sped away and left Lin Yi’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yi touched his face and smiled faintly.

“That’s good…”

“Old Lin!”

At this moment, a shout came from behind Lin Yi.

He turned around and realized that there was a Toyota Alphard parked more than ten meters away. It was Qin Han and the others who had spoken.

“Why are you here?”

“We followed President Ji here. She’s been waiting for you the whole day.”

“Damn it, I really want to slap you to death!”

He Yuanyuan rushed up and hammered her fist on Lin Yi to vent her anger.

No matter what, she would always stand on Ji Qingyan’s side.

“That’s enough, Yuanyuan.”

Gao Zongyuan said solemnly and pulled He Yuanyuan back.

“You guys stay here. I’m going to find my senior sister.”

He Yuanyuan stood by the roadside, hailed a cab, and left in a huff.

“Let’s go. Don’t just stand there. Let’s find a place to drink.” Liang Jinming said.

The four of them got into the car and found a food stall nearby. They ordered some barbecue and beer and ate it all.

“Alright, let’s not just drink. Let’s get down to business.” Qin Han looked at Lin Yi and said.

“Have you thought about how to deal with the situation between you and President Ji?”

He Yuanyuan stood on Ji Qingyan’s side, but Qin Han and the other two were still on Lin Yi’s side.

“What the fuss, isn’t this pretty good?”

“Pretty good?” Liang Jinming said.

“Brother Lin, aren’t you too optimistic? She gave you a slap the moment you showed up. That’s not good.”

“You don’t understand. This is a way to vent emotions. The most terrifying thing isn’t anger, but silent fury. You get what I mean?”

“Maybe I’m not scummy enough to understand such profound reasoning,” Liang Jinming said.

“That’s why all these years, you’ve only picked low-tier women.”

Qin Han, ‘Scumbags drinking cheap beer, perfect match.’

Gao Zongyuan, ‘Scumbags knocking at the door, home sweet home.’

“Alright, enough talk, let’s keep drinking.” Lin Yi said, raising his glass.

“We can’t just stop talking. The issue isn’t resolved yet. We can’t just drag it out indefinitely,” Gao Zongyuan said.

“First, keep He Yuanyuan in check. If she keeps badmouthing me to Ji Qingyan, things between us will never get better.”

“Brother Lin, you’re wronging me,” Gao Zongyuan said.

“I’ve been saying good things about you this whole time, but every time I do, Yuanyuan hits me.”

“You’re doomed.”

“Anyway, you don’t need to worry about us. I know what I’m doing.”

“What about the matter with Secretary Liang? Are you planning to keep both of them?”

“What else? If I wanted to give one up, I wouldn’t be so conflicted. I’d have settled it already.”

“You guys are a mess,” Qin Han commented. “But damn, I’m really jealous of you. Impressive.”

“I’m jealous too,” Liang Jinming added.

“Haha, I’m not.”

“You’re crazy. At the age when you could be fooling around, you chose to get into a relationship. You’ve disgraced all rich second generations.”

“Damn it, I’m more proper than you guys.”

“If you’re proper, then I’m a saint,” Liang Jinming said.

“Stop dawdling, let’s drink.”

The atmosphere among the four gradually relaxed, but the conversation remained focused on Lin Yi.

“Is there anything you need our help with now?” Qin Han asked.

“As long as Old Gao manages He Yuanyuan and helps me keep tabs on Ji Qingyan, we’re good.”

“I’ll do my best.”

“Do your best, my *ss. You have to get it done,” Qin Han said. “This is a big deal, you need to show some manliness.”

“Uh… the problem is, I really can’t beat her.”

“We’re doomed.”

It had been a long time since they last met, and Lin Yi had now come back to life.

Although they were at a food stall, they didn’t finish drinking until late at night, then found a hotel to crash in.

The next morning, Lin Yi, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a call.

He opened his eyes in a daze and realized that it was a call from Qiu Yuluo.

“What’s wrong? You’re calling so early in the morning.”

“It’s still about the gene serum. The progress in Yanjing is slow, so we might need your research and development center’s help.”

Hearing Qiu Yuluo’s words, Lin Yi suddenly became much more energetic.

“So? What are the Central Guards Brigade’s plans?”

“I’ll go to Zhonghai in the afternoon and bring the things over. We can talk about the details in person.”

“Contact me beforehand.”

“Okay, I’ll talk to you when we meet.”

After hanging up on Qiu Yuluo, Lin Yi became much more energetic.

When he was in Yanjing, he thought that the R&D department of the Central Guards Brigade would be able to settle this matter. He didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

However, it could not be said that the scientific research level of the Central Guards Brigade was not good. It could only be said that the complexity of the gene serum had exceeded his imagination.

Lin Yi, who was no longer sleepy, went to the bathroom to wash up. Then, he left a message in the group chat belonging to the four of them and took a taxi to work.

He did not do anything for the rest of the morning and stayed in the office of the Civil Affairs Department.

The Civil Affairs Department had a lot of things to deal with, and it seemed like they would never be able to finish.

The system was kind enough to consider some trivial matters as part of the mission.

‘That’s very nice.’

At this stage, the mission progress had already reached (9/10). Including the school bullying incident, this stage of the mission was completed. However, it was still unclear when the case would be closed.

At noon, Lin Yi received a call from Qiu Yuluo saying that she would be in Zhonghai in an hour.

Lin Yi nodded and said goodbye to Li Xianghui. Then, he drove out of the police station and headed towards Zhonghai Airport.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lin Yi received Qiu Yuluo. She was carrying a black box with the gene serum inside.

“Why are you the only one here? Where’s Ning Che?”

“She wanted to come.” Qiu Yuluo combed her hair and said,

“But she had something to do at her company, so I came over myself.”

Qiu Yuluo looked around. “Let’s find a place to eat first. I’ve been running around all morning, but I haven’t even eaten.”

Lin Yi nodded and brought Qiu Yuluo to a small seafood restaurant. He even found a private room to make it easier for them to talk.

After ordering, Lin Yi opened the black suitcase and found a metal box inside. It was about twenty centimeters long and two centimeters wide.

Lin Yi opened the metal box. The familiar yellow gene serum lay quietly inside.

Lin Yi held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

“It’s really something that’s enough to drive the entire world crazy!”
