Chapter 2130: Chapter 2130: 2131: Come to Sister's House in the Evening

“Fine, if there’s no special task, I won’t contact you.” Liu Hong said earnestly,

“But you also need to be prepared and make arrangements at home. Given the current situation, there could be the possibility of landing on the island anytime now.”

“I know.”

Lin Yi had already learned about these matters during previous conversations and was making preparations accordingly.

“By the way, how’s the interrogation of that guy named Gill going? Any new discoveries?”

“Don’t even mention it, we couldn’t get anything out of him before he committed suicide.”

“Couldn’t get anything out of him? He committed suicide?”

These two pieces of news were quite unexpected for Lin Yi.

It seemed somewhat incredible that such a thing would happen at the Central Guards Brigade.

“That guy named Gill was tough. No matter how we interrogated him, he never opened his mouth,” Liu Hong said.

“During a meal, he plunged a spoon into his throat and killed himself.”

Ss—

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

“Damn, he really was hardcore.”

“This also reflects the tightness of the Freemason’s organization; we can’t be careless in the future,” Liu Hong continued,

“I’ve already sent people to take care of your home, so don’t worry about security.”

“I’ll add one million vouchers to your account later; I’ve got all the skins for this year covered.”

“Get lost.”

Without any further words, Liu Hong hung up the phone.

Ding ding ding—

Just then, Lin Yi heard someone knocking on his car window. Looking up, he saw it was Wang Ying.

“Sister Ying.”

“When did you get back? You didn’t even tell me.”

Wang Ying, Yan Ci, and Li Chuhan were all aware of Lin Yi’s whereabouts, which they sometimes discussed in casual conversation.

However, Lin Yi had only told them that he was on a business trip and hadn’t elaborated.

“I just got back last night,” Lin Yi said with a smile,

“I had just finished a call and was about to go up to find you. I didn’t expect you to be here already.”

“At least you have some conscience.” Wang Ying cupped Lin Yi’s face with both hands, “Come on, let Sister Ying give you a kiss. I’ve missed you so much after such a long time.”

“This is a public place, mind the impact.”

“That’s true.” Wang Ying returned to her normal demeanor, “Are you free tonight? Come over to my place; I’ll make you something delicious.”

“What kind of delicious food?”

“I’ll make you some seafood.”

“Abalone?”

“Including two big white buns, enough for you?” Wang Ying teased.

“Two will suffice.”

“As long as you come, I guarantee you’ll be full.”

“Isn’t your sister always at your place?”

“She’s started school already; you really have no sense of time.”

Lin Yi smacked his forehead, having been so busy that he had completely forgotten about it.

It was already November, nearly the winter break.

“Alright, wait for me tonight.”

“Mhm, I’ve got quite a bit to do today, so I won’t talk anymore, I’ll head off first.”

“Talk tonight.”

After a brief conversation, Wang Ying left swinging her hips, clearly in a great mood.

Lin Yi didn’t linger there any longer and drove to the Xinshan branch office.

Now that everything was settled, all that was left was to focus on the task.

“Ah, you’re back.”

In Li Xianghui’s office, everyone was there and seemed quite relaxed.

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, “Is everything settled with Wei Jianlong’s case?”

“It’s all been handled in just a few days since you returned,” Li Xianghui said,

“We thought he’d struggle a bit, but after he came back, he confessed almost without any interrogation.”

“That’s good then.”

Normally, someone at Wei Jianlong’s level would put up some resistance when caught.

The reason he confessed so readily was because of Lin Yi and Ning Che.

Having two majors sent to capture him made him feel there was no point in resisting.

“What other cases are going on in the office recently?” Lin Yi inquired.

“Just some minor trifles; overall, it’s rather calm. If you’ve got things to do, you don’t have to come. I’ll call you when we need you.”

“How could that be? As a public servant, how could I just coast along?”

“Cut the crap with me, kid. Count how many days you’ve actually come to work on time,” Li Xianghui said with a smile,

“By the way, I forgot to tell you, Ling Han came looking for you yesterday. I told her you weren’t here, and then she left.”

“Ling Han came looking for me? Did she say why?”

“She didn’t say; she left when she saw you weren’t here.”

Lin Yi nodded, unclear why Ling Han was seeking him.

Considering the situation at the Central Guard, the selection process was over, and those chosen were moving on to the next stage.

Her presence at Zhong Hai probably meant she hadn’t made the cut, which was unfortunate considering she was quite skilled.

“I think that girl might have taken a liking to you; it’s a rare opportunity, so grab hold of it,” Zhang Hui said with a sycophantic tone.

“That’s actually possible,” Zhu Junchi added,

“When she came, she was dressed quite elegantly; I think she might indeed be interested.”

“Come on, you two lechers are going to corrupt my pure soul,”

Lin Yi waved his hand, “You guys continue with your ‘immortal cultivation’ here; I’m going to look around elsewhere.”

After saying goodbye, Lin Yi left Li Xianghui’s office, but just as he stepped outside, he saw Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin hurrying out of their office at a fast pace.

“What are you two rushing off to?”

“There’s a construction site where the peasant workers’ wages have been withheld for two months, and now someone has reported it, so we’re going to check it out.”

“Perfect, I’m free right now; I’ll join you.”

“Alright.”

Looking to trigger a system task, Lin Yi was in a phase where he sought out work,

no matter what the case was, he wanted to check it out if he had the time.

And just before, Lin Yi had decided that if there was nothing going on with Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin, he would go see the cleaning lady.

Because with the system’s nature, anything done within the branch office could potentially trigger a task.

After leaving the branch office, the three of them got into the car and drove towards the construction site.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the site.

Through the car window, Lin Yi took a glance outside and saw the company’s basic information.

It was a residential development by a real estate company called Yunfeng.

At the moment, the construction cranes on the site were idle, presumably due to the dispute over unpaid wages.

Zhang Peng drove onto the site, and they saw a crowd of people gathered a few dozen meters ahead.

As the police car arrived, the crowd dispersed.

It was at this moment that Lin Yi saw two people sitting on the ground and one lying beside them, with quite a bit of blood on the ground.

The situation was more violent than he had imagined.

“These people are taking lawlessness too far!” Zhang Zixin exclaimed angrily.
