“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.
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.
