831 Do You Really Not Want Me to Leave?
âBe gentle, it hurts, it hurtsâ¦â
âThen why are you spouting nonsense?â
âIsnât that what you said? You canât blame me.â
âI didnât call you that.â
âWhy donât you know how lucky you are?â Lin Yi said.
âIn this way, youâll have two fathers who will dote on you. How blissful.â
âWhy? Canât you dote on me without acting like my father?â
âLook at what youâre saying. Even if I wasnât your father, I would still dote on you.â
âStop spouting nonsense.â Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi and combed her hair. âEverythingâs settled. How about we find a place to eat supper?â
Although the matter had been resolved successfully, Liang Ruoxu still wanted to clarify the details.
Lin Yi looked around, his expression no longer as playful.
âI still have some loose ends to tie up. I donât think Iâll be able to finish this for a while.â
With that, Lin Yi looked at his watch. âItâs almost one in the morning. Go back and rest early so that you wonât have wrinkles.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs your fault I have these wrinkles,â Liang Ruoxu grumbled. âIf you hadnât pulled me out so late at night, I would have gone to bed long ago.â
âWasnât this to give you more political achievements so that you can promote yourself in the future?â
Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi, âIf I get promoted, Zhonghai wonât be able to contain me anymore.â
Lin Yi was stunned. He only realized the problem after hearing Liang Ruoxuâs words.
âHow about I donât give you that credit then,â Lin Yi said. âIâll give it to Chen instead, and maybe I can get a favor in return.â
âYou really donât want me to go?â
âOf course,â Lin Yi said, âZhonghai is such a nice place. There are mountains, rivers, and myself.â
âTsk, mountains are good, the water is good, but youâre not a good person.â
âYouâre so harsh with your words. How am I supposed to dote on you?â
âGet lost, get back to your workâ¦â
Ring ring ring!
Before Liang Ruoxu could finish, Lin Yiâs phone rang.
Liang Ruoxu turned her head. If someone was calling him at this time, it might be a sister from some bar.
Lin Yi took out his phone and realized that it was Qiao Xin.
âWhatâs wrong? Whatâs the problem?â
This had happened before. When he was on duty, she had encountered a difficult problem that she didnât know how to solve. She knew that he wasnât sleeping, so she called him.
âBrother Lin, did Director Li go to your place?â
âNo.â Lin Yiâs expression froze as a bad premonition arose in his heart. âWhat happened? You two didnât go to the hotel?â
âDepartment Director Li and I were both on day shift today, but we were busy until past eight oâclock before we returned to the hotel,â Qiao Xin said.
âAt around eleven in the evening, when we had finished our bath and were ready to rest, Director Liâs phone rang. Her expression changed and she told me to go home first. But after I returned home, it was as if she had evaporated. Nobody picked up the phone, and I was very worried.â
âDonât worry, Iâll go look for her.â
âBrother Lin, you must find Director Li.â
âI know.â
Lin Yi hung up and tried to call Li Chuhan.
As expected, no one picked up the call.
âWhat happened?â
Seeing that Lin Yiâs expression was not right, Liang Ruoxu asked.
âHelp me pull up all the surveillance cameras near Building Six. I want all the recordings after six.â
âAlright, I understand,â Liang Ruoxu said. âWhat exactly happened? Tell me.â
âYou know Chief Physician Li from the cardiology department, right? After she went home tonight, she disappeared.â
âHow could such a thing really happen?!â
After a brief moment of shock, Liang Ruoxu finally reacted.
âLogically speaking, with the security of Zhonghai, this kind of thing shouldnât happen.â
âNothingâs impossible.â Lin Yi said as he walked, âAnyway, help me check first.â
âI got it.â
Lin Yi didnât say anything else. He got into his car and drove towards Li Chuhanâs house.
In the early hours of the morning in Zhonghai, there were hardly any cars on the road.
Lin Yi ignored the red light and drove to Li Chuhanâs house in less than twenty minutes.
Holding the door handle, Lin Yi used his dantian to pull the lock down.
Unfortunately, although the lock was broken, the door did not open.
Thus, he kicked Li Chuhanâs door open a few more times.
...
The situation in the room was beyond Lin Yiâs expectations.
It was almost the same as when he came that day.
It was not as messy as he had imagined.
âDamn it, if only Qiao Xin was here.â
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was Liang Ruoxu.
âHave you found out anything?â
âI found it. She was taken away by someone called Ito Mitsui.â
âHuh? How did you know this?â
Lin Yi was puzzled. Could the surveillance cameras detect these things?
âWhen we went back, Chief Chen briefly interrogated the guy. When he was pushing the relevant questions, the person called Sung Kentaro said this.â
...
âF*ck!â
Lin Yi didnât say anything else. He hung up and ran out.
However, because the noise was too loud just now, the door of the neighboring house opened a small crack. They wanted to see what was going on, afraid that there was a robber.
Lin Yi ignored these people and ran downstairs. He got into the car and drove towards the Shangri-La Hotel.
Lin Yi felt that his brain hadnât been working well recently.
Why hadnât he thought of such a simple answer?
Other than the Mitsui family, it was impossible for anyone else to have a conflict with him recently.
Moreover, Li Chuhan had now been implicated in this matter. Now that something had happened to her, it naturally had something to do with Ito Mitsui!
He actually didnât think of it!
Damn it!
â¦
Shangri-La, Room 2404.
Although it was late at night, the lights in the room were still on.
The faint fragrance of tea filled the room.
He sat on the sofa with a Sunrise Landese tea set on the coffee table.
On the other side of the sea of tea was the expressionless Li Chuhan.
Li Chuhan was here because she did the same thing as Lin Yi and installed a mini surveillance camera at home.
The other party also knew that this woman called Li Chuhan was just an ordinary person. Hence, he was much more careless when carrying out his mission.
As a result, Li Chuhan found out about it.
It was just that she didnât have Lin Yiâs ability and was brought here in the end.
The moment it happened, Li Chuhan knew that even if she struggled, it would be useless, so she simply gave up.
She cooperated until she was brought here.
âDirector Li, have some tea. This is jade dew, a specialty of Sunrise Land. Itâs hard to get it in Huaxia.â
âIâm not interested in tea.â Li Chuhan said.
âI just want to know why you came to my house. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.â
Ito Mitsui didnât get angry. Instead, he smiled and said,
âBecause youâre Lin Yiâs colleague. Weâve taken a fancy to his research results. Iâm sure you know about this. I hope Director Li can cooperate with us.â
