Chapter 3987: The Team Is Hard to Lead

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Lin Yi was about to walk out when he heard Yu Siying call him.

He turned around to see that there was no one beside her, as if she intentionally let him be the last to leave. Even Sui Qiang wasn’t there.

Lin Yi deliberately slowed his pace and walked to Yu Siying’s side.

"What’s up?"

"Is it because the two of us got married that for this mission, you left us at Beiren Prison and Yanchi Mental Hospital?" Yu Siying said wistfully.

Lin Yi’s expression paused, not expecting Yu Siying to stay behind and ask this question.

"It’s for the task at hand; it has nothing to do with marrying you." Lin Yi said:

"You see, even they were left on the ship by me. This was an opportunity that came by occasionally, no chance to inform or act together with you all."

"No." Yu Siying looked at Lin Yi and said:

"You called them to participate in the rescue operation for Song Yaguo and Su Zhuihui, but left us behind."

"Mainly because Beiren Prison and Yanchi Mental Hospital are very important places, possibly containing a lot of crucial information, you know this, and I wasn’t comfortable leaving it to them."

"Boss, I’ve been taking a minor in criminal psychology, your micro-expressions and small movements have already given you away."

Lin Yi:...

You’re going to rebel!?

"You’re not that good at it; after all, I’m the team leader, and you could still tell?" Lin Yi said with some nervousness:

"But I do have something else I want to talk to you about."

"Go ahead, boss."

"There’s a suitable position I have, a section chief level job. Do you want to consider it?"

Yu Siying suddenly stopped, stared at Lin Yi, and didn’t say a word, just looked at him wide-eyed.

"You’re an adult now, why are you crying?"

Yu Siying tried to hold back her tears, but they kept welling up.

"I obey the orders; whatever you arrange is fine."

After saying that, Yu Siying walked away.

Behind Lin Yi, wiping her tears as she walked.

Lin Jiang stood there, his heart sinking.

Honestly asking himself, could he bear to let Yu Siying go?

Absolutely not.

The current international situation is becoming more dangerous; if this continues, who knows when a sudden incident might happen.

Even he couldn’t guarantee a safe retreat, let alone them.

"Damn it, leading this team isn’t easy."

After leaving the camp, Ning Che was waiting for Lin Yi in a car.

"I just saw Siying came out crying. What happened, did you scold her for not performing well?"

"How could that be."

Lin Yi sighed and explained what happened to Ning Che.

"You guys really are..."

Ning Che was at a loss, not knowing what to say.

"They both got married, and they’re both part of the team, I can’t leave no hope for two families at all."

"Didn’t she say she’d follow orders."

"I mentored all of them, how could I bear it."

"Listen to me, go with the flow, if you overthink, you’ll end up with problems."

Ning Che said as he drove, "Not just them, but you too. Everyone has their destiny, and it can’t be stopped."

"How come you still believe in that stuff."

"Just as a mental crutch; otherwise, life would be so empty."

Lin Yi chuckled, "Now, I can only go with the flow. Who knows when the situation on the island will be resolved."

"Instead of hoping for that, you might as well wish for her to get pregnant soon so she’d have a legitimate reason to not participate in operations."

"That’s actually a solution," Lin Yi laughed heartily.

As they chatted while driving, Ning Che didn’t take Lin Yi to any fancy place, but rather to a local diner he frequented.

For the two of them, the food wasn’t important; being able to have a drink was the best part.

"I can’t say about other organizations, but I’m sure Anglo knows the origin of the second half of the Sheepskin Scroll. You must be careful when you go, there’s a high chance of running into them."

"When you sent the message, we held a meeting to discuss it and considered this situation. Therefore, we sent two teams over, one for cover and one for reconnaissance."

Ning Che said:

"But there probably isn’t anything useful inside anymore, even if we do run into them, the possibility of conflict breaking out isn’t high."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "The location of the second half of the Sheepskin Scroll is now practically public knowledge; I guess the situation on the island should have calmed down significantly by now."

"Indeed, it’s pretty much back to how it was before, and the main tasks have shifted to advancements," Ning Che said:

"I heard several teams have reached the Abandoned Area now, but the progress is slow. However, your dad is still leading the pack, and because of them, the progress of the Yanlong Team has improved a lot too."

"Would you say I’m considered the most unusual rich second generation?"

"Haha... absolutely."

Their meal lasted over two hours and then they went to the hotel for some arrangements.

Early the next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, Ning Che was already gone.

They were going to land on the island today, so time was tight.

After getting up, Lin Yi quickly tidied up and headed home.

On the way back, Lin Yi checked the system task, and it still wasn’t completed.

"What the hell is going on, the interview is over, and the task isn’t completed yet."

[The task is only considered completed when the program content is successfully broadcasted]

"That’s just ridiculous."

Muttering to himself, Lin Yi dialed Yue Sijing’s number.

"Principal Lin."

"How’s the interview content coming along?"

"We’ve almost sorted out the content we have, but we don’t know much about the situation at Beiren Prison and Yanchi Mental Hospital, so we need the information from you to finish up."

"Alright, I got it."

After a few words, Lin Yi hung up the phone, realizing the problem was on his end.

Then, Lin Yi called Xiao Bing and asked her to compile the information about Beiren Prison and Yanchi Mental Hospital and send it to him.

He’s been busy with other matters these days, and still hasn’t looked at the information about these two places.

He needed to really take a look at it.

Plus, he had to keep Lee Yongjin in good terms, as this matter required seriousness. Otherwise, there would be no help from her when needed in the future.

Ring ring ring——

Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Liang Xianghe.

A bit surprised that he would call him voluntarily.

"You’re back, right?"

Liang Xianghe’s voice was somewhat lazy, seemingly in a good mood and state.

"Old man, any instructions?" Lin Yi said with a cheerful smile.

"Come over to my place for lunch together."

"Got it."

"Don’t come alone, bring the kid along; I don’t want to see you."

"Alrighty."
