Liang Xianghe nodded. “That’s why Old Yang and I suspect that the woman might have come back and told him about this technique of exerting strength.”
“That’s impossible. Don’t make wild assumptions.” Lu Changkong said.
“Although the Qin family is a big family, she doesn’t know these things. It’s impossible for her to teach Lin Yi. The Qin family has already declined, and the others in the family naturally wouldn’t do this, so your guess can’t be right.”
As he spoke, he moved his chess piece. “Check.”
Liang Xianghe quickly used his knight to defend and said, “Old Squad Leader, do you mean when you said he might have learned it himself?”
“This might be possible.” Lu Changkong said.
“This ancient method of exerting force did not appear out of thin air. It was also developed by our predecessors. It’s also possible that he could comprehend it himself.”
“If that’s the case, he’s truly amazing.”
“Well, he’s Lin Jingzhan’s son. It’s not surprising that he would do all these things.”
…
After Lin Yi and the other two left the garrison area, Zhang Xiaoyu left dejectedly.
Brother Lin had a close relationship with the mayor. Moreover, the two of them were a perfect match. She could not be a third wheel here.
“I’m surprised you gave out your contact information so easily. Are you interested in the director?” Liang Ruoxu said.
“I’m just visiting the pond. It doesn’t necessarily mean I have to feed the fish. SHe might be useful at some point.”
“You never change.”
“What am I to do? I’m wearing a mask and sunglasses, but they still can’t resist my damn charm. Sigh…”
“Eh…”
Liang Ruoxu said disdainfully, “Don’t disgust me.”
“You’d better be mindful of your lifestyle. If a repeat of what happened last time occurs, I want to see how you clean up your mess.”
“Look at what you’re saying. You’re talking as if I really did something to that woman. Be reasonable, she’s a director at the television station. She might be useful at some point,” Lin Yi said.
“Mortals like you won’t understand my good intentions.”
“Whatever, do as you see fit. Yan Ci is just a director of a TV station. Whether or not she gets any airtime is for me to decide.”
“F*ck, they say that a woman’s heart is the most poisonous. I believe it now,” Lin Yi said.
“I went to Huaqing Lake, so you asked them to close down. The director of the television station asked me for my phone number, and now you want to remove her too. You’re too jealous. It’s scary.”
“Do you think I want to worry about these things? You don’t know how to appreciate my kindness.”
“Don’t make me angry, or I might just sleep with you.”
“Don’t you dare. Do you think the guns in my house are for show?”
“You think the gun in my pants is rusty?”
“Don’t talk so much nonsense with me.” Liang Ruoxu spat.
“I’ll leave for now. I still have a lot of things to do. By the way, Uncle Chen will be taking a plane to Zhonghai tomorrow morning to hold a registration ceremony for the research and development center. If you have time, do drop by.”
“Alright, I’ll see how it goes.”
“Do as you see fit.” Liang Ruoxu tidied her hair. “I’ll be leaving first.”
Ring!
Before Lin Yi could reply, the phone in his pocket rang.
She looked at her phone and realized that it was a call from Chen Yan.
However, since Liang Ruoxu was here, Lin Yi didn’t pick up.
Chen Yan, this little girl, usually did not contact him at all.
As such, he knew that there would not be good news this time around. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did his best to avoid Liang Ruoxu’s inevitable questions.
“Alright, if you have something to do, you can leave first.”
“Who called you? What are you doing behind my back?”
“Does I look like I’m hiding something? You must be hallucinating.”
“Let me see who called.”
Liang Ruoxu instinctively felt that the person who called Lin Yi must be someone special.
Otherwise, there was no need to go behind her back.
“You’re really just hallucinating. It’s just a scam call. Why are you so concerned? Hurry up and go do your work.”
“Give me your phone. Let me see.”
“Um…”
Liang Ruoxu walked up to Lin Yi with her bag in hand and took his phone.
...
To her surprise, the person who called him was Chen Yan.
“Huh? Why did she call you for no reason?”
This made Liang Ruoxu even more suspicious. Even if there was something happening, she should have called her. Why did she call Lin Yi instead?
“Maybe it’s a misdial. It’s no big deal.”
Liang Ruoxu frowned slightly. There was indeed a possibility that she had called the wrong number, but the chances of this being the case were low.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lin Yi’s phone rang again. It was a WeChat message from Chen Yan.
“Brother-in-law, why aren’t you answering my call? Are you busy? Call me back quickly. There’s something going on.”
“Um…”
Afraid that the air would suddenly turn quiet, Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi unhappily, then handed the phone over.
“Call her back. Let me see what she wants.”
...
“What could she possibly want from me? She must have encountered some difficulties in her studies and now wants me to guide her.”
“Am I that gullible?” Liang Ruoxu asked.
“With her intellect, any teacher in the school could explain it to her. Does she really need to ask you?”
“Of course. Since she wants help with her questions, she has to find someone with high standards, don’t you agree?”
Liang Ruoxu glared at Lin Yi.
“You two must be up to something. Call her back first. I’ll listen to what she has to say.”
“Seriously, I’m upright and not afraid of shadows. Why would I be afraid of making this call?”
Lin Yi called Chen Yan back. As soon as the call connected, he heard Chen Yan’s chattering.
“Brother-in-Law, what are you up to? Did I disturb you?”
“No, go ahead.”
“Hehe, I’m at the airport. I’ll be boarding the plane shortly and will be in Zhonghai in two hours. Come and pick me up later.”
“Huh? Aren’t you guys flying tomorrow? Why are you coming over now?”
“Let’s go to Huaqing Lake.” Chen Yan said.
“I’m sneaking over early. Let’s play for a while. My sister won’t let me see you, so we have to be quiet. She can’t learn that I arrived at Zhonghai ahead of time.”
‘Um…’
Lin Yi shivered, feeling a murderous aura in the air.
“Child, what are you talking about? You’re a university student and the daughter of a public official. How can you casually go to Huaqing Lake? Don’t you have any shame?!”
“Um…”
Chen Yan was stunned. “Brother-in-Law, have you turned over a new leaf? When we were chatting previously, didn’t you tell me that you would bring me around Zhonghai when I visited? You also said that my sister is a busybody and definitely won’t let us go, which is why you would bring me there in secret. Why have you changed your mind? You weren’t like this in the past, so I can only assume the love has faded, right?”
