This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Lin Yi reached out and put his arm around Li Chuhan’s shoulder.

"Being with me has wronged you, you don’t even have the most basic freedom."

"I don’t feel wronged, it’s all voluntary, and I also really like this kind of life."

Li Chuhan wiped away her tears.

"From now on, I won’t believe anyone else, if something happens, I’ll call you and let you know immediately."

Lin Yi touched Li Chuhan’s face and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

"This is nothing, and has nothing to do with you, don’t dwell on it."

"But I..."

"Alright, no more talking."

Lin Yi interrupted Li Chuhan, stood up, "It’s time to board the plane."

Lin Yi took Li Chuhan to the VIP passage, and she looked at him eagerly.

Lin Yi stroked her head and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Let me know when you get home, then take a shower and get a good sleep."

"Mhm, I got it."

Li Chuhan left, and Lin Yi stood there silently watching her until she disappeared from his sight.

Instantly, his expression turned gloomy.

He walked out of the waiting hall and returned to his car.

Taking out his phone, Lin Yi dialed Chen Zhengnan’s number.

The call connected quickly.

"Leader, this is Lin Yi."

"So it’s Team Leader Lin." Chen Zhengnan said with a smile:

"Huang Liansheng’s issue was our fault, I’ve already talked to him, you should calm down too, we’re all brother units, don’t let a small matter ruin the harmony, we’ll have to work together in the future."

"I didn’t call to discuss him." Lin Yi said calmly:

"I’ll only say this once, don’t make moves on the people around me. Even the Wang family was dragged down by me, your Chen family better know your limits and not invite trouble for yourselves."

With that, Lin Yi hung up the phone, not giving Chen Zhengnan a chance to respond.

After hanging up, Lin Yi drove back to the Central Guards Brigade.

"Where is she?" Ning Che asked.

"I sent her back."

"You didn’t get angry, did you? She probably didn’t know, she seemed really nervous in the car, like she was afraid to see you."

"You make it sound like I eat people."

"But it really has little to do with her, she was probably talked into it."

Lin Yi nodded, "I’ve already called Chen Zhengnan. If he wants the Chen family to continue, they should behave from now on."

"These people are really shameless, actually doing something like this."

"I’m also a bit surprised, after so many years in the Central Guards Brigade, someone actually dared to target me, it’s an eye-opener."

"Alright, calm down." Ning Che patted Lin Yi on the shoulder:

"There’s nothing going on here, handle the rest of the matters yourself."

"Okay, I’m off." Lin Yi said:

"If there’s any situation with the old man, let me know right away."

"Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered."

After chatting with Ning Che, Lin Yi left.

Back at the hotel, he saw Xiao Bing, Luo Qi, and Yu Siying were there.

There were over a dozen bags on the floor of various sizes, looks like they went shopping.

"Sister-in-law treats us well, bought us so many nice things."

Luo Qi bragged with a laugh.

"Although Lin Bro is nice to us, compared to sister-in-law, there’s really no comparison." Xiao Bing chimed in.

"You two act normal." Yu Siying said:

"Boss, any plan for the next steps?"

"Just focus on your own tasks, and keep in touch with Team Leader Qiu and Team Leader Ning, learn more about their situation."

"Understood."

After a brief chat, the three of them left.

Ji Qingyan took out a small red box, inside was a jade pendant inlaid with gold.

"This is for the child, find some time to deliver it."

Lin Yi glanced at the jade pendant and didn’t say anything else, nodding in agreement.

This kind of thing was well understood between the two of them, no need to say more.

They rested for the night, and early the next morning, Lin Yi went to Liang Ruoxu’s workplace.

"Why did you come over?"

Lin Yi had told Liang Ruoxu long before about going to Jing City.

But he’d not expected him to come looking for him.

Lin Yi took out the gift Ji Qingyan had bought.

"This is something she bought for the child."

Looking at the gift in the box, Liang Ruoxu smiled.

"Thank the Empress for me, I didn’t prepare anything this time, but I really miss Nuonuo."

"There will be a chance later on, let the siblings meet."

"I don’t mind, you go talk to the Empress."

"Don’t rush, maybe this idea will come true soon." Lin Yi said:

"If you’re free, visit the old man more often, he’s getting older, doesn’t seem as spirited as a few years ago."

"I know, you’ve told me many times."

Liang Ruoxu said with a smile:

"The old man and the others must have seen Nuonuo by now, they must like her."

"Not bad."

"Don’t fool me, I liked Nuonuo the moment I saw her, those big eyes are like grapes. Then I look at your son, I almost want to put him back."

"The son takes after the mom, the daughter takes after the dad, you should find the reason in yourself."

"Get lost, I look better than you."

Lin Yi laughed, "Director Liang, free for lunch later? Let’s eat together?"

"Let’s skip lunch, handle your business, I’m not an inconsiderate person."

"Having a meal has nothing to do with being inconsiderate." Lin Yi said:

"It’s almost 11 o’clock, close to lunch time anyway."

"Alright then, let’s have a simple meal."

Liang Ruoxu tidied up, and they found a small restaurant nearby for a quick meal and chat.

Returning at noon, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan had another meal, then flew back to Zhong Hai in the afternoon.

After returning, Lin Yi didn’t stay home long and drove to Li Chuhan’s place at night.

"This is your home, why are you so reserved?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"I was afraid you’re still angry."

"I told you it’s over, stop overthinking it."

"But I know this incident has already impacted you, I was wrong."

"You were just tricked, don’t take all the blame on yourself."

Lin Yi patted Li Chuhan’s butt, "Go make dinner, I’m a bit hungry."

"The beef is already stewing, it’ll be ready soon, I’ll stir-fry a dish for you."

"One dish is enough." Lin Yi said:

"A new movie is out recently, let’s go watch it later, can’t just work all the time, need to refresh the mind sometimes."

"I’ll book the tickets then."

"Sure, the eight o’clock show will do."

"Mmhmm."

Li Chuhan went to the kitchen with her phone, and Lin Yi quietly watched her.

The feeling of guilt in his heart grew a bit deeper.
