“Our people have hacked into Huashan Hospital’s surveillance cameras.”
Fang Shihong said,
“According to the timeline, Lin Yi should be dead. His body will be brought away by the ambulance the next morning. Your mission is to find the ambulance and leave with his body.”
“Aren’t we going to do it now?”
“There are people from the Central Guards Brigade guarding the hospital. If we take action now, we will definitely alarm the other party. It’ll be very disadvantageous to the operation. It’s best to wait until tomorrow morning.”
“When the sun rises, think of a way to infiltrate the relevant areas. As long as we can find the correct ambulance, the mission will be half completed. After that, we just have to swap the corpses.”
“Understood!”
After hanging up the phone, Feng Weihao passed down Fang Shihong’s order. Then, they got out of the car and quietly disappeared into the night.
In the ward, Lin Yi was lying on the bed, looking straight ahead. No one knew what he was thinking.
Ring ring ring!
The crisp ringtone of the phone broke the silence in the ward.
It was an unknown number.
The phone number was a little special. Even without a name, Lin Yi still remembered who she was.
A very special woman.
Caie Mitsui.
“It’s already so late. Why aren’t you resting?”
After picking up the phone, Lin Yi smiled and spoke with a relaxed tone.
“Not yet. I called you a long time ago, but I never got through. I finally got through.”
Caie Mitsui’s words were filled with joy.
If it were any other woman, their tone would usually carry some resentment after they encountered such a thing.
However, Caie Mitsui was different from Li Chuhan.
She would never think that Lin Yi was wrong. If things turned out wrong, it might be because of their own error.
To the women of Sunrise Land, such humility was engraved in their bones.
The premise was that the other party was a man who could make them admire him wholeheartedly.
“My phone was turned off before this. I just finished dealing with the matter at hand.”
“I heard from Kenji Nakada that your condition is not good. How are you now? Do you need me to send a doctor over?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve almost recovered.” Lin Yi smiled.
“I really have to thank you for what happened on the Victoria. If it weren’t for you, I might have died there.”
“Mr. Lin, you’re too kind. It’s my honor to be able to do something for you. As long as you’re fine, I can rest assured.”
Caie Mitsui’s respect and politeness always made Lin Yi feel uneasy, giving him a sense of distance between them.
Hearing this, Caie Mitsui raised her head slightly and stared at Kenji Nakada’s phone screen.
Nervous and expectant ambivalence grew in his heart like spring bamboo shoots after a rain.
“I gave her some instructions just now. She agreed readily, but I’m a little worried,” Lin Yi said.
“I’m afraid that over the next few days, someone will go over and cause trouble for her. You must keep an eye on her. After a few days, I’ll take care of this matter and there won’t be any further problems.”
The corners of Caie Mitsui’s mouth curled up. Her slender hand gently swiped across the corner of her eye, wiping away a crystalline teardrop.
“Got it. I’ll definitely protect the president’s safety.”
“I’m relieved to hear that. You are always welcome to Zhonghai in the future.”
“Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Lin.”
After getting down to business, Lin Yi hung up the phone. The car became quiet.
“President, Mr. Lin is still very concerned about you. He even called me.”
“Yeah.”
Caie Mitsui responded softly and whispered,
“Turn up the volume for me.”
“Okay.”
The melodious and deep melody seemed to bring Caie Mitsui back to that rainy night.
The rain blocking the road seemed like snowflakes. Are you, who is weeping, cold?
I wore down this trench coat for you until it had frayed edges.
Even being transferred didn’t scare me, I still always worry.
...
Waiting a lifetime for one day comes with a cost.
Everyone only has those two hands, and embracing alone can’t make you possess.
To possess, you must first learn how to accept loss.
Why did I wander along the snowy path, shedding tears for a good cause?
Who can own Mount Huji solely by love...
It was the same melody, the same lyrics, but this time, it seemed to have a different flavor.
Caie Mitsui had already changed the meaning of the lyrics in the quiet night.
It was like a cup of lemon tea, with a distant yet cold aesthetic.
The emotions had faded, as had the possessiveness. There were no extraneous flavors, only the fragrance of lemon and tea.
This love was sour, but after savoring it, there was an endless sweetness, etched with the memories of their time together.
And it was precisely at this moment that Caie Mitsui truly understood.
She could not possess his love.
Just as no one could exclusively own the beauty of Mount Huji...
