Just as Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were about to step forward, Lin Yi stopped them.
Fan Shuxian grabbed Lin Yi’s clothes and sobbed.
“You were his team leader. Why didn’t you protect him well? We only have one
son. If he leaves, how am 1 going to live?!”
Lin Yi stood rooted to the ground like a tall pine tree.
If he could use this to let her vent her emotions, Lin Yi felt that it was worth it.
Fan Shuxian punched Lin Yi’s chest.
As a mother, she had lost her mind. It was impossible for someone who had never experienced the grief and indignation of losing her son to empathize with her.
“Alright, stop fooling around!”
Zhou Xicheng shouted coldly, “Help your aunt into the house. I’ll talk to these
people.”
“Got it, Uncle.”
Fan Shuxian was helped upstairs, and the first floor of the villa fell silent.
“I’m really sorry, Team Leader Lin. My wife lost her composure.”
“It’s okay. I’m responsible for this. Auntie has experienced the pain of losing her son. 1 can understand how she feels.”
“Team Leader Lin, if you say that, it will make in seem like our Zhou family doesn’t know the big picture.” Zhou Xicheng said.
“When my son joined the Central Guards Brigade, we knew what kind of place it was. When something happened during the mission, we could only say that we were unlucky and couldn’t blame anyone else. The situation on the battlefield changed. You’re not a god, so it’s impossible for you to take care of so many people. I understand all of this.
Just as the two of them were talking, Fan Jiayi came downstairs.
“How is your eldest aunt?” Zhou Xicheng asked him.
“She took a piece of Dailixin and is already asleep.
“Sigh...”
Zhou Xicheng shook his head with a sigh. She couldn’t keep relying on medication every day to maintain her emotional stability.
How capable was his cousin’s superior to be able to do this?
“Thank you, Mr. Lin. You’re still thinking about our Zhou family at a time like this.”
“It’s my job.”
With that, Lin Yi stood up. “Since there’s nothing else happening for now, we’ll leave.”
“I’ll see you off.”
“Uncle Zhou, please don’t. We can walk on our own.”
After rejecting Zhou Xicheng’s good intentions, Lin Yi and Ning Che walked out, and Qiu Yuluo slowed down.
She chatted with Zhou Xicheng for a while.
It was mainly about Lin Yi’s identity. He didn’t want them to be exposed now.
After giving instructions, Qiu Yuluo followed him into the car.
“The Zhou family’s matter has been settled. What’s the next step?
“The woman sitting next to Zhou Xicheng was his niece, Fan Jiayi, right?” Lin
Yi said.
“Judging from their relationship, it should be the case.”
“She just said that the Zhou family’s company has a few projects that seem to be problematic. Can you contact her? Now that we’re here, if there’s really a problem, help her deal with it.” Lin Yi said.
“Zhou Liang is gone. We can’t just ignore his matters.”
“Consider it done.”
Ning Che looked at his watch. “I don’t think we’ll be able to leave today. Let’s find a hotel and settle our accommodation first. We’ll invite her out for dinner tonight and find out.”
“Sure.”
At four o’clock in the afternoon, the four of them checked into the Ritz-Carlton in Chengdu and invited Fan Jiayi to a Western restaurant. They wanted to talk to her about the Zhou family.
Fan Jiayi had a bold and confident personality, usually presenting herself with a strong, authoritative demeanor.
But when she saw Lin Yi and the other two, that confident demeanor vanished. Despite their amicable attitudes, their presence was overwhelming.
She felt like a monkey trapped under the Five Finger Mountain, completely uncomfortable.
-Don’t be nervous. We’re all comrades of your brother. We’re here to see what we can do for the Zhou family. Although we can’t bring him back to life, we can’t let the Zhou family fall into decline,” Qiu Yuluo said.
-My brother died in the line of duty. The government has already given us many benefits, and we can’t ask for more,” Fan Jiayi replied.
“This isn’t about the government, it’s from our personal perspective,” Qiu Yuluo explained.
“I’m the general manager of Zhonglian Group, she’s the general manager of Baolong Group, and this one is the chairman of Lingyun Group. We should be able to provide some support to your family’s business..
