As some people were whispering among themselves, the prison guards, along with Liu Xiaodong and other leaders, arrived at the cell door.
Seeing Du Baolong and others lined up and bruised, while Lin Yi was sleeping, Liu Xiaodong understood the situation.
Du Baolong straightened his back slyly, trying to contrast himself with Lin Yi.
“What happened to your faces?” the prison guard asked.
“It was him who hit us,” Du Baolong said, looking at Lin Yi.
“It was him who hit us…”
“Alright, open the door.”
Liu Xiaodong interrupted the prison guard and gave the order, and the latter didn’t dare to say anything else but opened the door.
Du Baolong smirked, and thought to himself:
“I can’t deal with you, but naturally, someone else can. This isn’t the place for you to run wild!”
As the door opened, Liu Xiaodong hurriedly walked over and tapped Lin Yi a few times.
“Mr. Lin Yi?”
Hmm?
Seeing this, everyone present was taken aback.
What was going on?
Talking to him in such a tone?
“Mr. Lin Yi?”
Lin Yi, still groggy, opened his eyes and saw Liu Xiaodong in front of him.
“Why are you here?”
“Well…”
Liu Xiaodong felt a bit awkward, but still managed to force a smile and said:
“Everything has been cleared up; it was a misunderstanding. I’ve come to get you out. Please, let bygones be bygones and don’t hold it against us.”
Hearing this, Du Baolong and others gasped.
What’s going on?
A high official came and is being totally respectful to him?
Does he have a strong background?
“Why are you fetching me? Get Pan Chunwei to come,” Lin Yi said, yawning.
“This…”
Liu Xiaodong paused, “He might not be able to come.”
“Hmm? Why can’t he come?”
“I received news that the investigation team has arrived, and they have already started the review process. It’s definitely not possible for him to come and get you.”
“The investigation team has arrived?”
Lin Yi was puzzled; he hadn’t called the investigation team himself, so why had they come?
But now wasn’t the time to delve into these issues; it would all be clear once he was out.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony, I’ll go ahead.”
“Yes, yes, let’s go together.”
Liu Xiaodong stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, and they walked out one after the other.
Those who witnessed this scene were all stunned.
Didn’t know what to say.
As the crowd dispersed, the prison guards locked the door again.
“Wait, brother, what’s the deal with that guy? Why was the high-ranking official so polite to him?” Du Baolong asked.
“I don’t know either, but I heard he’s formidable. You’re lucky he didn’t kill you,” the prison guard said:
“Moreover, even if he had killed you, it wouldn’t have mattered. Consider how formidable he is on your own.”
Du Baolong and the others shuddered, feeling like they had narrowly escaped death.
…
Liu Xiaodong respectfully escorted Lin Yi out, but as they just left the police station, they saw two police vehicles approaching.
Then the doors opened, and the Pan Family appeared one after another, running straight into Lin Yi.
Meeting once again, the stance of both sides showed a stark contrast.
The gaze of the Pan Family dodged, not daring to look directly at Lin Yi anymore.
Lin Yi walked up to Pan Chunwei boldly, patted him on the shoulder, but said nothing.
At this point, there was no need to say more. Having reached Pan Chunwei’s situation, he would surely understand the implication.
After coming out, Lin Yi took a taxi back to the hotel, while Qin Han and the others were still sound asleep.
“Back so soon?”
Everyone gathered together again, they thought Lin Yi wouldn’t be out until the afternoon.
“Did you guys call someone? Why did the investigative team show up?”
“I guess it was Secretary Liang who made the call.” Qin Han stretched lazily and said:
“This morning when I came back, she called me, said she couldn’t reach you, so she called me instead, and then she said she would handle it.”
Lin Yi nodded, if it was Liang Ruoxu handling this matter, that would make sense.
“What did she want with me?”
“She said the Lunar New Year is coming up, and she has returned to Yanjing, asked me to let you know.”
Lin Yi nodded and pondered:
“Now that this matter is settled, I guess those 3 billion will be credited soon.”
“Then we should head back to Zhong Hai too.”
“enenen…”
Lin Yi paused, “I need to ask you guys for a favor.”
Qin Han looked at Lin Yi with a critical eye.
“You’re not thinking of going to Yanjing and having us cover for you, are you?”
“How else do you think of you as my good brother? I haven’t even said anything yet and you already know what I’m planning.”
“Brother Qin, you’ve taken the blame for him so many times you’ve become an expert at it,” Gao Zongyuan laughed loudly.
Lin Yi went behind Qin Han and massaged his shoulders, “I’ll need you three to take care of this and stay in Jinyang for a few more days, then wait for my signal, and we’ll all head back to Zhong Hai together.”
“Damn it.”
Though Lin Yi was a bit underhanded in doing this, the three did not complain since they were all in this together, sharing meals and troubles alike.
“We’ll cover for you for now, but you have to show some appreciation. That Jinyang cuisine we had yesterday was really good, treat us to a meal.”
“Let’s do it another day, it’s a rush job today, can’t manage it.”
“There’s still several days until New Year, why the rush?”
“Who said I’m only going to see Liang Ruoxu? There are other people too.”
“Damn it!”
“Alright, I’m leaving now, you guys sort out the rest.”
After saying goodbye, Lin Yi headed straight to Yanjing.
No matter what, now that Liang Ruoxu is pregnant, staying in Zhong Hai for the New Year, he must visit her no matter what.
On the way to the airport by taxi, Lin Yi called Qin Yingyue.
Found out they had gone to Ji Qingyan’s.
Lin Yi found it interesting, feeling that these two were also masters of time planning.
Just after Liang Ruoxu left, they went to Ji Qingyan’s, the timing was perfect.
Not long after hanging up, Ji Qingyan sent a WeChat message.
The content was as Lin Yi expected, informing him Qin Yingyue was there.
Contrary to Liang Ruoxu’s calm demeanor, Ji Qingyan seemed a bit nervous.
Still trying to maintain a good image as a daughter-in-law.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yi arrived at the airport and boarded his private jet.
The distance from Jinyang to Yanjing isn’t too far, it took about forty minutes to land at Yanjing Airport.
Lin Yi hailed a cab, and headed to Liang Ruoxu’s home familiarly.
During the trip, Lin Yi called Li Chuhan.
“Busy?”
“Not these past few days.” Li Chuhan said:
“Since it’s almost Lunar New Year, people don’t want to see doctors, it’s quite idle these days.”
It’s a common belief among the people in China that the Lunar New Year is very significant, heralding the start of a new year, hence everything should start well to ensure a happy and healthy year.
Unless it’s an urgent illness, most will be deferred until after the New Year.
That’s why the workload in hospitals reduces at this time, though only relatively.
“What’s your schedule tomorrow? Any rest?”
“Yeah, night shift tonight.”
“How about take a leave, book a flight, and let’s go to Sanya for some fun, arrive before ten o’clock is fine.”
“Really, really?”
