“Exchange numbers? Are you sure?”

“Since we’re friends, we have to have a way to contact each other. Don’t you agree?”

“That works too.”

Lin Yi didn’t refuse and left his number.

He didn’t know whether Zhu Jinwoo really wanted to be friends with him, but he felt that there might be something fishy going on.

In order to confirm the authenticity of the number, Zhu Jinwoo even called it. He was relieved to see Lin Yi’s phone ring.

“Bro, it’s a little chaotic. I won’t be accompanying you for now. I’ll call you later.”

“Okay.”

After speaking to Zhu Jinwoo, Lin Yi found Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin.

“We’ll leave them to sort out their mess. Let’s go somewhere else to enjoy the scenery.”

Li Chuhan looked at his watch. “It’s already past four in the afternoon. Let’s go back first.”

“Sure thing.”

Although Li Chuhan had recovered, it was not appropriate for her to exercise too much. She had already been out for a whole day, so it was time for her to go back.

The three of them didn’t go anywhere else. They slowly descended the mountain, found their car, and returned to the hotel.

The chaos in Xiyun Temple lasted until past seven in the evening.

Those who had bought things all got refunds.

Compared to the bustling scene during the day, the place was now deserted.

The lively atmosphere was gone.

At around eight in the evening, Zhang Yanjun and Zhu Jinwoo gathered again, both with cigarettes in their mouths and sour expressions.

“How much did we make today?”

Zhu Zhenyu asked coldly.

“We lost over 4 million.”

“That much?”

“We spent over 3 million on stock, and all that was wasted. Then a lot of journalists got wind of it and came over, so I had to spend tens of thousands on hush money. All our efforts have been in vain!”

“F*ck!”

Zhu Zhenyu cursed, his anger erupting like a volcano.

According to their calculations, this Hungry ghost Festival event was supposed to net them at least 20 million. Instead, they hadn’t made a single cent and had lost a huge amount of money.

“It’s just our bad luck running into a tough guy. If it weren’t for him, none of this would have happened.”

“Damn it, we can’t let this slide!”

“And what can we do? You want revenge?” Zhang Yanjun sighed. “You can’t even find him, so how are you going to get revenge?”

“When things went wrong, I got his phone number. We can track him down!”

“What? You got his number?”

Zhu Zhenyu nodded. “When I asked for his number, I kept my cool and didn’t show my anger. He probably doesn’t suspect anything. Later, I’ll gather some guys and invite him out for dinner. Then we can give him a good beating!”

“Kid, you’re really something!”

Zhang Yanjun laughed and said, “He ruined our plan. We can’t let him off so easily!”

“Leave this matter to me. Although I can’t make beat him, I have to make him pay a price!” Zhu Jinwoo said fiercely.

…

After returning from Xiang Mountain, they went to a famous street in Yanjing.

They had a meal of famous crayfish here.

For the three of them, this place that was filled with smoke and fire was more close to home.

The most important part of life was to taste good food and wine and observe the various customs of the human world.

While eating, Lin Yi even chatted with Liang Ruoxu.

She had returned to Zhonghai this morning and had already started working.

The two of them did not talk about anything serious. They chatted about trivial matters the whole time.

However, he did not tire of it.

“Is there anywhere else you want to go? I’ll take you there tomorrow.”

After dinner, Lin Yi asked as the three of them walked back.

“Ask Xinxin. I’ll go anywhere.”

“Aiya, you can’t ask me about this,” Qiao Xin said.

“I’m just freeloading. I’ll listen to your arrangements.”

“Then let’s go back.” Li Chuhan said, “After staying in Yanjing for so many days, I want to go back to Zhonghai.”

“Alright, we’ll go back tomorrow.”

Because his private plane had already flown back to Zhonghai, Lin Yi booked three first-class tickets and prepared to go back tomorrow.

Although he looked calm on the surface, at this moment, Zhonghai was still a city that he could not face so easily.

But with Li Chuhan here, he couldn’t show it.

About an hour later, the three of them returned to the hotel.

While Li Chuhan was washing up, Lin Yi received a WeChat video call from Ning Che.

In the video, Ning Che was wearing gray pajamas. Her long hair was messy, and strands of it looked like she had just taken a shower.

“How was your day?”

“I went to Xiang Mountain for a walk, but I think I walked into a scammer’s nest.”

“Scammer’s nest?”

Since he had nothing to do, Lin Yi told Ning Che what happened during the day, causing the latter to laugh.

“That’s a little too much. It sounds like he has some skills, yet you, the famous team leader of Team 1, actually competed with him in this. You were bullying him.”

“That person had some skills, but he bragged that he was a Daoist. Then, he used this to swindle others. In the end, he even pointed his finger at me. I had no choice but to enlighten them.”

Ning Che laughed as well. It was their bad luck to have run into Lin Yi.

“By the way, what are your plans? Where are you going to do tomorrow?”

“I’m not doing anything tomorrow. I’ve booked a flight to return in the afternoon. I’m preparing to go back.”

“You’re leaving just like that?” Ning Che asked in surprise.

“Coincidentally, I don’t have anything to do tomorrow. I’ll arrange a meal for you. Consider it a farewell.”

“No need to go through all that trouble. We’re all friends here.”

“The main thing is, you rarely come to Yanjing. It’s hard to see you,” Ning Che said.

“Wait for my call tomorrow. I recently found a great Northeastern restaurant with amazing sweet and sour pork. I’ll take you there tomorrow.”

“Alright, let’s talk tomorrow.”

After hanging up with Ning Che, Lin Yi washed up briefly and then went to bed.

He slept soundly and didn’t do much else.

The next morning, the three of them got up one after another around eight and finished packing up by nearly ten.

Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che arrived in their car, and Tao Cheng came along to see Lin Yi off.

The Northeastern restaurant Ning Che mentioned was located in the Dayue City shopping center and had a very upscale decor.

Li Chuhan, calm and composed as always. She didn’t feel much discomfort meeting Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che. However, Qiao Xin felt differently.

The three people sitting before her had such a strong presence, much more imposing than even the hospital director.

“How’s the analysis of the items I brought back?”

Lin Yi asked, trying to be discreet with Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin present.

“It’s moving slowly.” Ning Che said.

“The complexity of that thing seems to have exceeded our current technological means. We might have to wait for a while before there are any results.”

“I have a pharmaceutical research center in Zhonghai. Do you need me to call someone over?”
