Chapter 1934: It’s Better to Be Busy, So I Don’t Have to Go Home
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At seven o’clock the next morning, Lin Yi was in a daze when he heard rustling sounds beside him.
When he opened his eyes, he found that Yan Ci had gotten dressed.
“You only went to bed at three o’clock yesterday. Why are you up so early?”
Yan Ci took off her nightdress and picked up the underwear on the ground. As she put on her clothes, she said,
“I have an investment to discuss later. Get up early. I’ll make you something to eat.”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. We’ll just go out and have a bite.”
“The food sold outside is not as healthy as the ones made at home. Just wait. The fridge is full. It’ll be ready in a minute.”
Seeing that Yan Ci was determined to cook, Lin Yi didn’t say anything further.
As Yan Ci went to cook, Lin Yi realized he didn’t have any pajamas. He took out his phone, saw that it was off, and put it on the bedside table to charge for a while.
He then found some clothes and got ready to get up.
After brushing his teeth and washing up, Yan Ci was still preparing breakfast.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang. He went back to the bedroom to check it.
He saw it was a call from his mom.
“Mom.” Lin Yi answered the call.
“Qingyan seems to have found out that you’re not dead. Did you meet her yesterday?”
“No, we just talked on the phone. What did she say to you?”
This was within Lin Yi’s expectations. Since they knew about him, his relatives and friends would also know.
“She just said you weren’t dead and that she wanted to move. I felt something was off, so I called you last night, but your phone was off.”
“Move?”
“That’s what she said when she came back yesterday.”
“Let her do whatever she wants. Don’t worry about it for now.”
This was the most delicate period of their relationship. It could even be said that they were treading on thin ice.
He couldn’t do anything too radical. He had to handle everything step by step.
Both he and Ji Qingyan needed some time to calm down and think about this matter.
“Do you still need me here?”
“You’re leaving?” Lin Yi said.
“Since you’re already there, just stay for a few more days.”
“If this was in the past, I definitely wouldn’t leave. But now that your relationship has become like this, it’s extremely awkward for me to stay here. I don’t even know how to face her.”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, when are you leaving? I’ll arrange for a plane to send you back. I’ll pick you up when you want to go.”
“Sigh…”
Qin Yingyue sighed. She did not want to leave, but at this moment, she did not know how to face Ji Qingyan.
Her own son had also returned. She would let them handle their own matters.
After hanging up on Qin Yingyue, Lin Yi heard his phone buzzing.
There were at least a hundred WeChat messages.
A small portion of them were sent by Qin Han and the others, while the rest were sent by Ning Yue.
Lin Yi thought of this possibility.
No matter how delicate her relationship with Ji Qingyan was, she would still spread the news to Yangcheng so that his family would not worry.
Lin Yi closed the door and called Yangcheng.
The phone call lasted for more than 30 minutes before the matter was explained clearly.
By the time Lin Yi was done with his family matters, Yan Ci had already made breakfast.
Compared to Li Chuhan’s Huaxian breakfast, Yan Ci’s food was a little western. It was a combination of Huaxian and Western styles and tasted quite good.
“Did your family call just now?” Yan Ci asked while they were eating.
Lin Yi nodded in response.
“I saw what happened between you and President Ji and Secretary Liang. Have you thought of a solution?”
Lin Yi looked at Yan Ci and smiled. “Aren’t you too calm?”
“Well, this has nothing to do with me,” Yan Ci said.
“I’ve always been your lover and never thought about marrying you. When I want to have a child, I’ll just ask for your cooperation. I have no reason to be upset.”
“Take it slow, there’s no rush,” Lin Yi shifted the topic and asked.
“By the way, you saw me in that school bullying case at Yucai High School, right?”
“What’s up?”
“Can you get some people to report on these issues? Some things need the oversight of the entire society. We can’t do it alone.”
“I understand what you mean, but media reports and public opinion aren’t enough. There must be stricter punitive measures. Like they say on TV, if an apology were enough, we wouldn’t need the police.”
“I can handle this,” Lin Yi said.
“Those troublemaking students are all over fourteen years old and must bear criminal responsibility. Their parents, who assaulted police and caused serious injuries, should get at least ten years. Report everything truthfully. Society needs a wake-up call.”
Yan Ci nodded and said,
“We’ve already noticed the heat around this issue, but since I’m transitioning, I haven’t been paying much attention. My friends in the circle mentioned that the higher-ups are aware of this and will likely issue relevant documents to address similar incidents soon. When those documents come out, you’ll be busy.”
“Busy is good. If we don’t deal with these damn issues quickly, society will become unlivable.”
“Alright, I’ll help push things from behind. If you have any firsthand information, send it to me.”
“Okay.”
After breakfast, Yan Ci collected the dishes and took them to the kitchen. She touched up her makeup briefly, then left with Lin Yi.
However, Yan Ci didn’t need Lin Yi to send him off. He drove away himself.
When he arrived at the branch office, Lin Yi realized that everyone was busy.
This was because Zhang Wenlai and the others had already been brought to the police station to be dealt with.
“Why are you here so early? Why aren’t you sleeping at home?”
When they entered the office, Li Xianghui teased.
“I wanted to sleep for a while, but I was woken up.” Lin Yi stretched. “How’s the school bullying case going?”
“They’ve all been interrogated. The suspects have also confessed. They’ve all confessed.” Li Xianghui said,
“I didn’t even think they’d use such a deranged method to get the settlement. If it weren’t for the fact my status didn’t allow it, I’d have gone up and given them a couple of kicks.”
“Calm down. This case is over. They should be sentenced to at least ten years. That’s enough to teach them a lesson.”
Li Xianghui nodded and lit a cigarette.
“When I went to the leader’s office just now, I heard something. This case has caused a lot of bad public opinion. The higher-ups plan to use this opportunity to launch an operation against the underworld. They’re going to be very busy now. It’s best to inform your family in advance. There’s no way you can return home on time over the next month.”
Lin Yi sat back in his chair and complained in his heart.
‘It’s better to be busy, so I don’t have to go home…’
