The call was hung up. Lin Yi’s face was pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Although he was already prepared, he did not expect this to happen.
At this point, he understood the whole story.
Last night, Shoko Nakajima probably contacted Liang Jinming privately.
Coupled with the fact that he was not on guard against Shoko Nakajima, Liang Jinming was easily tricked.
Lin Yi covered his face with his hands. He had been too careless.
Initially, he thought that he would bear the responsibility and not tell anyone to avoid affecting their moods. He did not expect such a thing to end up happening!
It was all ruined by Shoko Nakajima!
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded.
Soon, Ji Qingyan, Qin Han, and the others appeared in the room.
“Old Lin, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?” Qin Han asked.
Ji Qingyan leaned down in fear and touched Lin Yi’s forehead, afraid that he had caught a cold.
“I’m fine,” LinYi said.
“The bed is quite clean. Didn’t Old Liang sleep here tonight?”
“He is in trouble. Don’t ask about the details. Hurry up and pack your things. We’re going back to Huaxia now.”
“We’re leaving now?”
“Yes, hurry up. Don’t waste time.”
Seeing Lin Yi’s serious expression, everyone guessed that something bad had happened.
Otherwise, with his personality, he would not have easily revealed such an expression.
Everyone looked at each other. Qin Han said,
“Let’s go, let’s pack up now. Don’t waste any more time.”
Everyone left in a hurry. Ji Qingyan was the fastest to pack her things. In less than twenty minutes, she was done and returned to Lin Yi’s side.
She bent down and looked at him quietly.
“What exactly happened? Can you tell me?”
“Old Liang was taken away.”
“Taken away?”
Ji Qingyan was so frightened that all the hairs on her body stood on end.
“He was kidnapped?”
“Yeah.”
Although such things were not very common in the lives of the commoners.
However, in the circle of the rich, this kind of thing happened often. It happened a few times a year.
However, public awareness was suppressed and not many people knew about it. It was only spread in their small circle.
However, Lin Yi did not expect it to be the person right by his side.
“What did he say he wanted?”
If the other party only wanted money, Lin Yi would definitely not have shown this kind of expression.
It was very likely that they were demanding something unreasonable.
“Don’t ask about this for now. Prepare your things and return to Huaxia first. 1’11 handle the rest.”
“I’m all ready. 1 can leave at anytime.”
Lin Yi nodded. “Let’s wait for the others.”
The others were also very fast. In about half an hour, they arrived at Liang Jinming’s room one after another.
“Let’s go. We’re done packing.”
They drove to the airport in silence.
Lin Yi said little even after they boarded the plane and landed in Zhonghai.
Even the atmosphere in the cabin became gloomy.
“Just go back and do your own thing. Don’t worry about Old Liang. I will definitely bring him back.”
Before getting off the plane, Lin Yi reminded,
“But try to minimize your exposure outside. Don’t let Uncle Liang and the others know that you’re back.”
“Where are you going?” Ji Qingyan asked.
Lin Yi reached out and touched her hair.
“I’m going to Yanjing. Don’t worry about me.”
“Be careful. Be careful.”
“Got it.”
After sending Ji Qingyan and the others off the plane, Lin Yi instructed the captain to fly towards Yanjing.
When Lin Yi got off the plane, it was already past six in the evening in Yanjing.
After getting off the plane, Lin Yi called Liu Hong.
“How was your trip to Sunrise Land?” Liu Hong laughed and said.
“We held a meeting to discuss your matter and decided to give you a second-class merit. You’re really amazing. In less than half a year, not only did you become the team leader, but you also obtained two second-class merits. In a few years, my position as the director might be yours.”
“Where are you? I need to talk to you about something,” Lin Yi said softly.
“I’m at the base. When are you coming over?” Liu Hong asked.
“Now. I just got off the plane at the airport, I’ll be at your place in about an hour.”
“Come over. Little Qiu and Little Ning are both here. I’ll arrange a place for the three of you to stay later.”
Qiu Yukio and the other two flew straight from Toyo to Yanjing. They traveled much faster than Lin Yi and had already returned to the Central Guards Brigade base.
“No need. Wait for me at the base. 1 have something important to tell you.”
“Okay.”
Liu Hong didn’t ask further. There was an unwritten rule in the Central Guards Brigade. If it was something important, it was best to say it in person when the conditions permitted. If there was no other option, he would choose to call.
After leaving the airport, Lin Yi hailed a taxi and paid an extra 200 yuan for the driver to race to the base of the Central Guards Brigade.
When he arrived at Liu Hong’s office, Lin Yi could hear his laughter from the door.
Lin Yi pushed the door open and entered. The three of them were drinking tea and were in high spirits. After all, the mission was completed. There was no reason to be unhappy.
“Come, come, come. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Seeing Lin Yi, Liu Hong waved his hand happily and ushered him in.
“We’ve already completed the mission. Why are you pulling a long face? Did you quarrel with your girlfriend?”
Qiu Yukio and Ning Che also noticed that something was wrong with Lin Yi.
He was fine when they spoke on the phone this morning. Why did he look different now?
“We didn’t fight. I have something to tell you.”
“What is it? Tell me. You’re the most popular person in the Central Guards Brigade now. Old Lu praised you over the phone for a long time. 1 don’t dare to offend you anymore.”
“I need two kilograms of ore. Can you lend it to me?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them froze. They looked at Lin Yi in surprise, not understanding why he would say such a thing.
“What are you planning to do?”
Lin Yi thought for a few seconds and felt that there was no need to hide this matter.
Thus, he told them everything.
“I can’t believe this happened!” Liu Hong slammed the table. “This Yushi Mitsui is too much!”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything. He placed his hands on his knees, leaned over, and lowered his head slightly, waiting for Liu Hong to make his next decision.
“Don’t be anxious. I’ll contact the foreign affairs department now and deal with this matter as soon as possible.”
“I don’t want them to handle it. Just give me the two kilos of ore.”
“Nonsense!” Liu Hong said.
“Since something like this has happened, the officials naturally have to step forward to resolve the problem. What’s wrong with you? How can you try to deal with it privately?!”
“I don’t have the time to wait, and no one knows whether the officials can really handle it or not. Thus, I have to handle it myself.” Lin Yi said.
“I know this requires you to bend the rules, but I still want you to give me the ore. This is important to me..”
