Chapter 3023: Cross-City Support
Chapter 3023: Chapter 3023: Cross-City Support
"Not a single one can be left out?"
Lin Yi muttered, trying to find some clues in the task description.
But after thinking for a while, he didn’t find anything unusual.
Although he just praised the system, now he wanted to give it a good slap.
At around two in the afternoon, Lin Yi returned to Zhong Hai.
But just as he got off the plane, he received a call from Liu Hong.
"What are you busy with?"
"Just got off the plane, went out for a bit of fun."
"That’s good, relax a bit."
"What’s up? Got some work?"
"Some days ago, Song Jinmin went to Zhong Hai, you should know by now."
Hearing this, Lin Yi knew what Liu Hong wanted to talk about.
"When are we setting off?"
"Tentatively it’s set for next Monday, in five days, make arrangements for things at home beforehand," Liu Hong said,
"Unless something unexpected happens, the timing shouldn’t change."
"What’s our task this time?"
"Elder Lu didn’t say, just mentioned that everything should prioritize the task," Liu Hong said,
"I guess he means that we should cooperate on both sides while ensuring safety. After all, Poker is your dad’s organization, so in some sense, they’re not outsiders and there’s no need to hide anything."
"Even with close relations, accounts need to be clear; even if it’s my dad, everything must be clear-cut."
"The question is how to calculate it," Liu Hong said,
"You don’t even need your dad; just sending out Song Jinmin could level Flame Dragon, and you wouldn’t last three moves against him."
"That guy’s indeed tough, but he’s a braggart, not good for bragging about."
"At least your dad is from Yan Country," Liu Hong laughed and said,
"Get ready, I won’t talk much more, need to pick up your sister-in-law from work."
"Utterly useless."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi stretched.
This task, who knows when he’ll return, better buy a few cartons of cigarettes and take a long vacation.
Leaving the airport, Lin Yi didn’t go straight home but headed to the research institute.
Upon arriving, he found that Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan were also there.
"What are you two doing here?"
"We visited the industrial park and happened to pass by on the way back, so we came up to take a look," Qi Xianzhao said with a smile.
Lin Yi glanced at He Yuanyuan and said casually,
"Is it because she noticed too much money being spent lately, so she came to inspect?"
Qi Xianzhao: ???
Truly understanding each other well.
"Damn, is that what you think of me?"
Seemingly guilty, He Yuanyuan didn’t refute, saying,
"Seriously, why are you involved in these things? They have nothing to do with our business and hardly make any profit."
"It’s been my childhood dream to contribute to the country’s scientific and technological endeavors, now it’s my time to realize that dream."
"If I didn’t know what kind of person you are, I might believe you."
"Go away."
Lin Yi teased and then wandered around the new research institute.
Although he was away for just two days, there were quite a few changes.
Preliminary work had started, gradually moving towards a normal track.
About half an hour later, the three walked out of the research institute and got into Qi Xianzhao’s car.
"From now on, you two should avoid coming here," Lin Yi said,
"This is an independent research institute, unrelated to the Lingyun Group, so you won’t be implicated if anything goes wrong."
Their facial expressions changed, realizing that the matter wasn’t as simple as they thought.
"What are you up to this time?" He Yuanyuan said,
"You have a family and kids now, no fooling around."
"I know what I’m doing, and if anything happens, I can handle it," Lin Yi said,
"You both just manage the company well, don’t cause yourself trouble."
After speaking, Lin Yi looked at He Yuanyuan and said,
"Especially you, every move you make now represents not only the company but also the Gao family, so watch yourself."
"I know, I haven’t even been to a bar for half a year."
"Just be mindful of boundaries," Lin Yi said,
"There are 800 pairs of eyes watching me, so you guys be careful too."
"Understood."
Afterward, Qi Xianzhao drove Lin Yi home.
But upon returning, he found that Ji Qingyan and the kids weren’t home.
"Mom, where did she and the kid go?"
"They went to the beach," Song Minghui said with a smile,
"Haven’t eaten yet, have you? I can make something for you."
"No need, no, you have a rest, I’m not hungry, I’ll go find them."
"Drive carefully on the road."
"Got it, Mom."
Lin Yi took the family van to the beach.
Both Wangjiang Dock and Moon Bay Beach are owned by his family, so Lin Yi knows the way well.
At Moon Bay Beach, Lin Yi quickly found the mother and daughter.
Ji Qingyan in a yellow-green dress, with the skirt held between her legs, was squatting on the beach playing with sand with Little Nuonuo.
Next to them were small buckets and molds, and the two were having a great time.
Lin Yi quietly approached, covering Ji Qingyan’s eyes from behind.
Ah—𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
She screamed but quickly calmed down.
"I know it’s you, quit pretending."
"How did you figure it out?" Lin Yi released his hands and laughed.
"The kid is already a year and a half; if I couldn’t guess, that’d be amusing," Ji Qingyan said,
"Besides you, who else would have the guts to cover my eyes? They’d only come to hit on me, ask for my contact."
"Hmm? Out with the kid, and people still try to hit on you?"
"Of course," Ji Qingyan said proudly,
"Even as a mom now, I still have a great figure."
"Stop being narcissistic."
They teased each other for a bit and then played in the sand with the child.
Lin Yi used the tools to build a castle for Little Nuonuo, while Ji Qingyan took photos of the two.
The sea breeze lifted her hair and skirt, creating a stunning scene as the twilight settled.
The night deepened, and the family of three drove back home.
Lin Yi was driving, Ji Qingyan holding the sleeping child, silent and peaceful.
Ringing—
Just as they arrived home, Lin Yi’s phone rang, showing a call from the communications room.
"Jingyun Mountain wildfire, we need your support, gather at the squad."
"Got it."
Without lingering, Lin Yi hung up and said to Ji Qingyan,
"You guys start dinner; I have to work extra."
Ji Qingyan was a bit surprised but soon composed herself.
Lin Yi is a firefighter; there’s no helping in such situations.
"Be careful and don’t get hurt."
"Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."
Heaving a key, Lin Yi got into his Shari car and drove to the squad.
Lin Yi knew about Jingyun Mountain, located in Yuhang City.
He sensed that this disaster might not be minor.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need for cross-city support!
