Chapter 1596: Old Things

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Isn’t the new year a good enough occasion? You’re still my boss after all. You should at least give me a chance to curry favor with you.”

Lu Beichen held his wine glass and looked at what Lin Yi had bought.

“A carton of pure milk and a carton of cherries. These two things combined are not as valuable as the glass of white wine you just drank. Are you sure you’re here to curry favor with me, your boss?” Lu Beichen said.

“This looks more like a slap in the face to me.”

“You shouldn’t think that way. A gift may be small, but its significance is great,” Lin Yi said.

“Not that I’m criticizing you, you old comrade, but there’s something wrong with your mind. It’s very dangerous for you to go on like this.”

Song Yuzhen couldn’t help but laugh.

This kid was really naughty, just like his father back then.

“If I were five years younger, I’d definitely get up and beat you up.”

“You’re already an adult. Why is your temper still so bad?” Lin Yi filled Lu Beichen’s glass again. “Let’s eat and talk while eating.”

Lin Yi didn’t attend many dinners, but he knew a lot of tricks.

It was impossible to talk about serious matters the moment he arrived.

He had to first drink to his heart’s content. Otherwise, nothing would come of the meal.

After more than an hour, they filled their stomachs with a bottle of baijiu. Lu Beichen put down his glass and took a bite of some peanuts.

“It’s about time. Let’s talk business. If 1 let you trick me so easily, I would have gone down long ago.”

Lin Yi chuckled, not embarrassed at all.

A smart person like Lu Beichen was definitely not as easy to manipulate as ordinary people.

“I want to show you something.”

Lin Yi quietly took out a small box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a strange ring.

It looked a little dingy.

“What is this?”

Lu Beichen reached out to take it, but Lin Yi stopped him immediately.

“Be careful. This is a small high-explosive bomb.”

“Oh?”

Lu Beichen and Song Yuzhen were stunned. They did not expect Lin Yi to bring out something like this.

But Lu Beichen only paused for a moment. In the end, he still took it out gently.

This old man who was dressed in military clothes was not afraid.

Lu Beichen played with the ring in his hand and looked at it for a long time.

He touched the green jade on the ring.

“Here’s the switch.”

Lin Yi nodded in response.

“Where did you get this?”

“I met a group of people in Doora and snatched it from them.”

Lin Yi had accidentally snatched the ring from Number 18’s hand when he was fighting him.

At first, Lin Yi didn’t know that the ring contained an explosive device.

After Song Jinmin got into the car, he learned that the remaining two people had self-destructed through this ring. Then, he carefully hid it away.

“You went to Doora? Did Liu Hong arrange for you to go there?”

“I was traveling and happened to bump into this. He doesn’t know about it yet.” Lin Yi looked at the ring.

“This thing should be unique to an organization. You’re knowledgeable. Can you find out who it belongs to?”

“I’ll keep this thing for now, but I can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to give you any results.” Lu Beichen said.

“This is a very common item. It’s not just people from abroad even our own men, when carrying out special missions, would carry something similar. However, we don’t use a ring. I’m not sure if we will be able to find any clues.”

“Still, do give it a try.”

Lu Beichen placed the ring back in the box and got someone to take it away.

Back at the dining table, Lu Beichen picked up a mouthful of cold food and said,

“I heard from Liu Hong that there was an accident in Doora. Jeffrey left along with his goods.”

Lu Beichen only knew half of what he knew from Ning Che.

“At that time, the two of us really thought that he had left, but we miscalculated. Jeffrey is very smart and stayed in Doora. However, he is already dead. From now on, Black Gold Corporation is no longer a threat to us.”

“Then, were the goods he was handling genuine?”

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi nodded. “It’s true, but I didn’t get it.”

Lu Beichen played with his wine glass. “Did that organization take it away?”

Lu Beichen’s insight made Lin Yi exclaim. In the end, he felt that it was only natural.

He could see right through something like this.

“Yeah.”

“The fact that they were able to snatch something from you means this organization is not simple.”

“They are quite mysterious.”

Lu Beichen did not say anything. He took a sip of wine and his eyes were extremely focused.

“We still don’t have enough control.”

Clink!

Lin Yi knocked his glass against Lu Beichen’s.

“Since you can’t explain this, let’s change the topic.”

“Anything else you want to ask?”

“I met my mom in Doora.”

This topic attracted the old couple’s attention.

“You met Little Yue?” Song Yuzhen asked.

“Huh?

“You know her?”

“We’ve known each other for many years.” Song Yuzhen said.

“Your mother and Shuyi grew up together. When she was young, she came to our house to eat every day. 1 learned my embroidery skills from your mother.”

Lin Yi suddenly understood. No wonder he was so enthusiastic every time he came. It turned out that they were old acquaintances.

“What else did you say after you met her?”

“What’s going on with that father of mine that I’ve never met before? His identity isn’t simple, right?”

Every time he thought of this question, Lin Yi would think of Song Jinmin’s LSP, making him suspicious.

“Haha…”

Lu Beichen laughed out loud. “Your dad was a hot-tempered person back then. He even beat up all the experts in Yanjing.”

“Then, why did he leave?”

“Back then, there was a kid who teased your mother and got killed by your father.”

“Was that person very impressive?”

“His status was prominent. His father’s position was similar to what mine is now. Just think about how serious the matter was at the time.”

Lin Yi stopped talking because he knew how impressive Lu Beichen was.

“After the accident, the two of them couldn’t stay in Yanjing anymore. 1 secretly sent them away. That was when the Qin family started to decline.”

Lin Yi remembered what Liang Ruoxu had said earlier.

The Qin family used to be one of the top three families, but because of an incident, they declined.

It must be because of this.

No wonder they chased after him so angrily when he left.

Presumably, after so many years, he still hadn’t truly let go.

“Child…”

Song Yuzhen held Lin Yi’s hand kindly and quietly wiped her tears.

“It hasn’t been easy for your mother all this time.”

“Not long after they left, you were born. However, the two of them couldn’t even protect themselves. Your mother had no choice but to send you to Yangcheng. After that, our Old Lu slowly regained his footing. The other party’s family slowly declined, and this matter was slowly suppressed. In addition, your father worked hard and made a name for himself in a place with all kinds of people. Their lives improved bit by bit.”

Song Yuzhen was especially emotional when she got to this part of the story.

“But don’t blame her. She had no choice.. Which mother could bear to part with her son?”
