Chapter 2355: Chapter 2356: Affectionate and Lovely
In the next few days, Lin Yi’s life was relatively peaceful.
The whirlpools lurking in the shadows were all concealed by him, and Ji Qingyan did not perceive anything unusual.
During this time, Lin Yi also visited the Xinshan branch office, hoping to try his luck and see if he could trigger a mission.
But there was no movement at all.
Besides that, the surveillance investigations he had arranged previously were yielding results one after another.
Three days after delegating the tasks, Lin Yi received a call from Qiu Yuluo.
The second batch of medicine he had sent also contained a similar substance, and the dose was a bit larger.
After confirming this news, Lin Yi was relatively calm, as he had a premonition.
However, Lin Yi still chose to hold his forces, waiting for news from Xiao Bing.
As days went by, on the afternoon of the fifth day, Lin Yi, while resting at noon in his office, received a call from Xiao Bing.
“Lin Bro, Sanda Tai Lang is preparing to return to Japan.”
“Return to Japan?”
“I infiltrated the hospital department and inquired around. The nurses at the hospital said that he had some issues back home, has taken a long leave, and is preparing to go back.”
“I just got off the phone with Sui Qiang, everything seems normal in Japan, so what could have happened?”
“There could be a trick here,” said Xiao Bing:
“I plan to fly to Japan to check it out and meet up with Sister Ying and the others.”
“That works.”
“Oh, and there’s something else,” Xiao Bing continued:
“I also found out that half a month ago, he acquired property in London, a mansion in a wealthy area. With his salary level, it seems unlikely he could afford it.”
“Assuming he’s a member of the Freemasons and was bribed to carry out this mission, he would have made a good profit, which explains the money for the mansion,” Lin Yi said:
“When you get there, keep a close eye on him, he might be planning to immigrate with his family.”
“Understood.”
After assigning the tasks, Lin Yi hung up the phone.
Sanda Tai Lang’s behavior gave him the impression that the truth might come out soon.
Those demons and monsters hiding in the dark would also gradually emerge to the surface.
Now it was a matter of who was faster and more ruthless.
The next day at noon, Lin Yi received another call from Xiao Bing.
“Lin Bro, you guessed right, Sanda Tai Lang indeed plans to immigrate. According to the investigation, he bought a flight to London yesterday and is set to depart around 2 p.m. this afternoon. Do we need to take action?”
“Not yet, that might startle the snake.”
After a few seconds of thought, Lin Yi said, “Is he going to London alone, or with his family?”
“By himself, probably to deal with some affairs.”
“That makes things much easier. Follow him quietly, then find the right opportunity to bring him back to see me discreetly. Don’t let anyone know.”
“Understood!”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi suddenly felt much more at ease.
Sanda Tai Lang’s actions suggested that he had completed the mission given by the Freemasons.
On his side, it was time to take action.
Besides, it might not be long before the Freemasons started to make their move.
The day was finally approaching.
“Brother Hui, there’s something I need to take care of, I’m leaving first,” Lin Yi said, standing up to bid farewell.
Zhang Hui, who was browsing TikTok news, nodded, “Remember we have dinner with Brother Li at 6 p.m., don’t forget.”
“Got it, I won’t forget.”
Leaving the branch office, Lin Yi headed to Chaoyang Group.
Although Ji Qingyan was pregnant, she insisted on coming to work, and Lin Yi had no choice but to let her have her way.
“How do you feel, tired?”
Seeing Lin Yi walk in, Ji Qingyan stretched lazily, revealing her pristine little belly and exquisite waist.
“I didn’t notice before, but now I feel a bit restless sitting on the chair.”
“That’s to be expected. The hormone levels in your body are all over the place now. The most obvious symptoms are weakness in the waist and knees, but compared to others, you’re already in good shape.”
“Of course, did you think all the fitness I did before was for nothing?” said Ji Qingyan. “But just now, I felt a bit of pain in my stomach, though it quickly went away. Do you think it was the baby kicking me?”
Lin Yi: …
“He hasn’t even developed his hands and feet yet. What would he kick you with?”
“Hehe…”
Ji Qingyan squinted her eyes and smiled cutely.
“These past few days, I’ve been watching videos and saw many moms-to-be could feel the baby kicking in the seventh or eighth month, and their bellies would even move.”
“That’s a common phenomenon. Most likely, you’ll experience the same.”
Ji Qingyan’s smile became even more radiant, filled with anticipation.
“By the way, didn’t you say you had a social engagement tonight, that you were going to have dinner with former colleagues? Why did you come here?”
“I had some spare time and thought I’d come to see you before dinner.”
“But I don’t have time to accompany you. I have a ton of work to do.”
“You do your thing, I’ll just wander around.”
“Go ahead.”
After spending some time in the office with Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi left and sneaked into Wang Ying’s office.
Seeing Lin Yi come in, Wang Ying locked the office door intricately.
“Big brother, I’ve missed you to death.”
“You were already flirting with me on WeChat just now. I think you’re not missing me, but my brother.”
“I’m missing both.”
Wang Ying proceeded to undo Lin Yi’s belt and then knelt down.
After more than two hours of intense battle, it finally ended with Wang Ying completely exhausted.
“When will you be free to come over to my place? I’ll cook something delicious for you,” said Wang Ying.
“In a few days; I’m swamped right now.”
“Okay.”
Leaving Wang Ying’s office, Lin Yi went back to Ji Qingyan’s office. It was almost time to take her home before attending the night’s dinner party.
But just as he was leaving, he received a WeChat message from Yan Ci.
She wanted Lin Yi to come over to her place in the evening. What for, even a fool would know.
And she had the nerve to claim it was to ‘fire off the first salute of the New Year’ for good fortune.
Lin Yi was somewhat torn between laughter and tears.
If Yan Ci let loose, Wang Ying wouldn’t stand a chance.
But since he had a dinner party, Lin Yi turned her down, and they decided on another time.
That night’s dinner party went on till after ten, with everyone getting slightly tipsy.
After all, they were all happy for Li Xianghui, who had landed a better opportunity.
The next morning after ten, Lin Yi dropped Ji Qingyan off at the office and stayed with her for a while, then drove over to Yan Ci’s place in the afternoon.
The two had another round of passionate love-making, ending their battle as the sun set.
According to Yan Ci’s belief, firing off the first salute of the New Year meant business would be booming. She might even become the richest person this year.
Ring, ring, ring—
Just as Lin Yi was getting dressed, his phone rang. It was a call from Xiao Bing.
“Brother Lin, we’ll be arriving in Zhong Hai in about four hours. Should we bring him to Jiuzhou Pavilion or to the security zone?”
