Chapter 1928: Knowing the Truth
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What’s wrong? You scared me,” Gao Zongyuan said.
“You know how I tipped a female streamer just now? After she went offline, I scrolled through TikTok and saw a guy who looked exactly like Brother Lin. They looked like the same person.”
“F*ck, is this for real? Let me take a look.”
Qin Han took the phone and looked at the video.
Indeed, he realized that the person was especially similar to Lin Yi.
Then, Qin Han gave the phone to the next person. The other three shared the same thoughts.
Although it was a little blurry, the person inside, be it his figure or the silhouette of his side profile, was almost identical to Lin Yi.
The video was of Lin Yi competing with Zhu Jinwoo on Xiangshan Mountain.
However, because it was secretly recorded by a member of the audience, the video was not stable, and it was not very clear.
So much so that the five of them could not see the person clearly.
And there was an inevitable reason why this video could become popular.
The famous Xiyun Temple in Xiangshan Mountain turned out to be a gathering place for scammers. Their so-called Taoist internal force and lightness skills were not even enough to beat an ordinary person. This was enough to make this video a hot topic.
However, the people there were usually busy with work. They didn’t have much time to surf TikTok. Even if they did, they would be like Liang Jinming, giving tips to the female livestreamers.
That was why he stumbled across this video today.
After this, the few of them searched for related videos, but the content and angle were all similar.
This was especially true for Ji Qingyan. She stared at her phone for a long time, and even her body began to tremble.
“I feel that this person is Lin Yi. He really doesn’t seem to be dead.”
If she had said those words just now, He Yuanyuan, Qin Han, and the others would definitely think that she was suffering from hypochondria.
But now, combined with this video and the missing photo frame, this matter seemed to have developed in a strange direction.
However, no one could say for sure what exactly happened.
“Don’t just sit there. Let’s look around and see if we can find any other clear videos. This one is too blurry,” Qin Han said.
The few of them took out their phones and started scrolling.
They tried to find other angles of the video before coming to the same conclusion.
“F*ck, I found another one! Isn’t this Brother Lin?!”
Gao Zongyuan exclaimed, attracting the group’s attention.
This time, they were even more excited. They left the table and moved closer to Gao Zongyuan.
However, the video that Gao Zongyuan found was not from Xiyun Temple in Xiangshan Mountain. Instead, it was of the bullying incident that happened at Yucai High School today.
The people who posted the video were teachers from the school and some children from wealthy families who went to school with cell phones.
Compared to the videos of Xiyun Temple in Xiangshan Mountain, the videos recorded at Yucai High School were relatively clearer.
There was even a shot of Lin Yi’s face.
After seeing this video, everyone was even more certain that the person in the video was really Lin Yi!
This time, they were extremely sure that Lin Yi wasn’t dead!
He was still alive!
Because it was impossible for two people to be so similar in this world!
The private room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of heavy heartbeats and their panting!
This news was of great significance to them!
After a long time, their emotions slowly calmed down.
“What is Brother Lin doing? Why isn’t there any news since he came back?” Liang Jinming said.
“Let’s call him and ask. I wonder if his old phone can still be contacted.”
Qin Han took out his phone and was about to call Lin Yi.
At the same time, the gazes of the others also landed on him.
Qin Han dialed Lin Yi’s phone and turned on the loudspeaker.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The phone rang several times until it was about to be automatically hung up. Then, the call was picked up.
“Old Lin? Is it you?”
“Why are you so excited?”
Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Qin Han could no longer control his emotions.
“What the f*ck is going on with you? Why didn’t you tell us that you weren’t dead? If we hadn’t seen your video, we wouldn’t have known what was going on!”
“Brother Lin, you motherf*cker! Tell me where you are! F*ck, I’m going to kill you!” Liang Jinming scolded.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Yi was silent for a few seconds.
“This was a fake death arranged by the higher-ups. I still have other missions to do, so I can’t meet you for the time being. Otherwise, you’ll all end up dead.”
Hiss…
Lin Yi’s words made Qin Han and the others shiver.
They already knew Lin Yi’s identity from their trip to Yanjing.
He had a very prominent official background, and he was also part of the most secretive unit. Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to carry out overseas missions.
It was even more unlikely that his death would attract so many big shots who would pay their respects.
At the thought of this, they could not help but feel their hair stand on end.
What he was enduring in the dark was far heavier than they had imagined.
“When will the restrictions on you be lifted?”
“Never.” Lin Yi said.
“Even now, you’re being followed and protected by the military. However, in a few days, it won’t be as strict as it is now. At the very least, it won’t be a problem for us to meet. However, you have to be more careful for now.”
Qin Han raised his head and stole a glance at Ji Qingyan.
Realizing that her eyes were red and she had no intention of speaking, he said,
“Take care of yourself. Remember to contact us when the restrictions are lifted.”
“Got it. I’ll hang up first.”
Qin Han hung up the phone, but the private room was still silent.
It was also at this moment that Ji Qingyan’s tears broke the silence.
She put her hands on the table and wailed.
To others, this was something to be happy about, but to Ji Qingyan, it was an exceptionally complicated matter.
Countless emotions were intertwined at this moment. She needed to vent them in this way.
But at the end of the day, this was a good thing.
After a while, she would calm down and everything would be fine.
He Yuanyuan gently caressed her back in an attempt to comfort her.
“Senior Sister, don’t cry. At least you know that he’s fine. This is a blessing in disguise.”
“Old Lin’s identity is different from ours. They had no choice but to do this. It’ll be fine after a while. We just have to wait for the news.”
“Old Lin is really too much. Why did he work so hard to do such a thing? Isn’t it good to be a rich man?”
“If Old Lin really remained just a proper entrepreneur, he wouldn’t be at ease.” Qin Han said,
“Think about it. Elder Lin has done so much for us in secret. How much has our market value increased during this period of time? If not for him, how could everything have been smooth sailing?”
They all fell silent.
It was only then that they noticed.
In reality, they had always been under Lin Yi’s protection.
