856 The Crime Team Is Established
âPresident Lin, are you sure you want to take on this project?â
Liu Wenchang probed.
âIâve already agreed over the phone. Of course I have to do it.â
âThen it wonât be easy. I reckon Fifth Master will catch wind of this soon.â Liu Wenchang said.
!!
âHe might come to question me tonight.â
âQuestion you?â
âToday is his sixtieth birthday. Heâs invited a lot of people. I was invited too. If he finds out about this, heâll definitely talk to me about it tonight, so I wonât be going.â
âWhy not?â Lin Yi said.
âIf you donât go today, heâll still come looking for you in the future. An old hooligan like him is like a plaster. If you donât just rip it off, it will lead to a lot of trouble later on.â
The executives in the conference room were secretly shocked.
As expected of the man who had conquered President Ji. His temper was really explosive.
âItâs mainly because Iâm worried that something like this happened that I donât dare to go,â Liu Wenchang said with a long face.
âItâs fine, Iâll go with you tonight,â Lin Yi said.
âShouldnât we call more people?â
âThereâs no need.â Lin Yi said.
âIf something really happens, you can hold them off for a while. Iâll go out and call for reinforcements.â
âPresident Lin, please give me a way out,â Liu Wenchang said without tears.
âItâs okay. No matter what obstacles we face, we will still remain friends.â
Lin Yiâs words made everyone in the meeting room laugh. The atmosphere was no longer as oppressive as before.
âAlright, thatâs all for todayâs meeting.â Ji Qingyan closed the document in her hand.
âPresident Liu, go and prepare our companyâs certifications and past project portfolio. Pick the ones worth than a billion yuan. Letâs go over and meet Secretary Wu to talk about this in detail.â
âGot it, President Ji. Iâll go now.â
About half an hour later, the three of them went to see Wu Zhaoyou with the relevant qualifications.
Knowing that Lin Yi was here, the other party was quite enthusiastic. He set aside all his work and came out to receive Lin Yi. He even arranged for a meal in the afternoon.
However, in the end, it was Ji Qingyan who paid for it. The tacit ceremonies were done beautifully.
At four oâclock in the afternoon, the four of them came out of the restaurant.
Wu Zhaoyou wanted to arrange for the next session, but Lin Yi found an excuse to reject him.
When it came to social events like this, if you didnât tell them to stop, they would continue until dawn.
Coupled with the fact that he really had something on tonight, Lin Yi rejected Wu Zhaoyouâs good intentions.
âWhen does the birthday banquet start tonight?â
Lin Yi asked after parting ways with Wu Zhaoyou.
Liu Wenchang looked at his watch. âIt starts at six in the evening. Itâs almost five now. Letâs go over now. The timing is just right.â
âAlright, letâs go to the next stage.â
âWhy donât I go with you?â Ji Qingyan suggested.
âNo need, you wonât be able to help even if you go.â Lin Yi said.
âItâs just in time for you to go back and look at the security cameras. See if you can find the people who did it.â
âAre you sure you wonât need me?â Ji Qingyan asked again, still worried.
Lin Yi gently leaned against Ji Qingyanâs ear, blowing some warm air against her.
âI need you, but this is not the time.â
Ji Qingyanâs heart raced at Lin Yiâs teasing, and she quietly pinched him.
âLetâs go. It starts at six anyway. Iâll drop you off first, then the two of us will head off.â
âYeah.â
The three of them got into the car. Liu Wenchang drove his Mercedes-Benz S-Class to send Ji Qingyan to the orphanage before leaving with Lin Yi.
âPresident Lin, donât you need to prepare a suit?â
âA suit? Iâm not married. Why would I wear a suit?â
âToday is Fifth Masterâs sixtieth birthday, and the attendees are all wearing formal attire. Iâm afraid itâs not appropriate for you to wear casual clothes.â
âIf he didnât act tough today, I would still let him celebrate his birthday. But since he wanted to act tough, Iâll let him enjoy his funeral tonight.â
Liu Wenchang trembled in fear.
Boss Lin was indeed awesome!
â¦
At the same time, Ji Qingyan returned to the orphanage with her bag.
âDaughter-in-law, why did you come back alone? Whereâs my son?â Wang Cuiping put down the work in her hands and asked.
âHe had a social engagement tonight. I didnât go with him, so he dropped me off and left.â
âItâs good that youâre not going. Itâs meaningless to be in such a foul atmosphere. You might as well chat with me here.â
...
âMm-hmm.â She put down her bag. âLet me help you.â
âNo, no, no. I canât bear to let you do this with your fair hands.â Wang Cuiping stopped him.
âBy the way, Ningyue is here. Sheâs waiting for you in the room. Go look for her. Iâll call you when itâs time to eat.â
âIn that case, Iâll go first.â
âGo on, go on.â
Leaving the kitchen, Ji Qingyan made her way to Wang Cuipingâs office.
The sofa here could extend into a foldable bed.
When there were no outsiders, Lin Yi and Guo Ningyue liked to stay up there.
âSister-in-law, youâre back. Whereâs my brother?â Guo Ningyue asked.
âHe had a social engagement tonight, so he didnât come back with me.â
âThatâs good. I didnât want him to delay our conversation.â
...
Ji Qingyan smiled. âIf your brother heard this, heâd probably teach you a lesson again.â
âIâm not afraid of him.â
âBy the way, I have something to ask you.â Ji Qingyan combed her hair and said.
âDo you know where the surveillance cameras at the orphanage are?â
âI know. Itâs in my motherâs room,â Guo Ningyue said.
âBut the orphanage doesnât usually have much happening. She doesnât even turn on her computer. I donât know if it even works.â
âI want to check the surveillance video, but I donât want Mother Wang to know about this. What do you think we should do?â
âIsnât that simple? Canât we just go over now?â
âHuh?! Can we go in without Mother Wangâs permission?â
âSister-in-law, only rich families have such strict customs,â Guo Ningyue said.
âWeâre just ordinary people. We donât have so many rules. We can just go directly in. My mother wonât care. Letâs go.â
Guo Ningyue got out of bed and dragged Ji Qingyan toward Wang Cuipingâs bedroom.
Ji Qingyan felt a little guilty. How awkward would it be if she was discovered?
Guo Ningyue walked in front and opened the door to enter the room. Ji Qingyan followed behind her like a thief and quietly entered the room.
âEh, itâs really strange today. My mother actually turned on the surveillance cameras. I remember that there were a few faulty ones. Why are they all working now?â
âThey should be new cameras,â said Ji Qingyan.
âItâs possible,â Guo Ningyue said.
âMy brother gave the orphanage so much money, so my mother changed the equipment and the surveillance video became much clearer. Not bad, not bad.â
âThatâs good.â Ji Qingyan replied nervously.
âHelp me find the footage from last Saturday.â
âSure thing.â
Guo Ningyue operated the computer and started looking for a copy of the video.
âEh? Why are there only recordings after last Sunday?â
