Zhou Liang grinned. “Ten kilograms of ore has caused such a huge commotion. To be honest, I’m starting to want to go to Tilia Island to see what it’s like there.”

“There will be plenty of opportunities for that. Take the money and buy yourself insurance. Mark your parents as the beneficiaries. If something ends up happening, they can use the money to fund a second or third child,” Lin Yi joked.

“Let’s not talk about that. After pa.s.sing the a.s.sessment, 1 used 50 million yuan to buy insurance. Guess what happened?”

“Rejected?”

“That’s right. They rejected me the moment they saw my profession.

“In other words, you don’t have insurance?

“Not exactly. My family is originally from a rural area, and we have this rural cooperative medical system. The annual premium is only 120 yuan.”

“Uh… alright, having some coverage is better than none at all.”

”1 can’t even think about insurance anymore. I’m starving,” Zhou Liang said with a grin.

It was clear that his mental state was at its limit.

“Let’s wait a little longer.” Lin Yi comforted.

-I feel that the intensity of their search is not as high soon. Perhaps we’ll get an

opening soon.”

“Okay!”

Zhonghai Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Ji Qingyan held her forehead. Her face was haggard, her hair was disheveled, and her complexion was not as good as before.

She looked extremely worn out.

She was not the only one in the house. He Yuanyuan sat beside her.

Qin Han, Liang Jinming, and Gao Zongyuan were also there.

For the past few days, He Yuanyuan did not even go to the company. She left all the company’s matters to Tian Yan.

She had been staying at the Jiuzhou Pavilion to accompany Ji Qingyan, afraid that she would suffer from depression.

After losing contact with Lin Yi, they gathered together and learned about the situation in Panem through their connections.

Riots!

Lockdown!

Shootings!

Word after word on the news constantly stimulated their sensitive nerves.

Because Lin Yi was still there and had yet to come out.

If they could contact him, they would not be so worried.

But now, they had lost contact with him for three days.

Even when they asked the relevant departments, there was no news. This cast a heavy shadow on their hearts.

“Senior Sister, don’t be so negative. Don’t you know what kind of person the boss is?” He Yuanyuan comforted her.

“Even if everyone in the world died, he would still be fine. It’s probably just a minor issue, like a signal interruption, that’s why we can’t contact him.”

He Yuanhuan has never been particularly good at comforting people. She knew that her words might sound feeble and repet.i.tive. By now, she had said them so many times that even she was getting tired of them.

“I know.”

Ji Qingyan ran her fingers through her hair. She had not rested well for the past few days, causing her mental state to deteriorate.

Dark circles and stress found their way to her.

Among these people, she knew Lin Yi the best.

She also knew that Lin Yi was very clever and skilled in combat; ordinary dangers couldn’t really harm him.

However, another voice in her mind kept telling her that this was just her wishful thinking.

If all accidents could be antic.i.p.ated and calculated, then there would be no such thing as accidents in the world.

“We need to be more open-minded. Even if we worry, it won’t solve anything,”

He Yuanhuan said.

-As for the boss’s ident.i.ty, he’s not just a businessman. He has a powerful background. Even if there’s danger, the officials will protect him. Don’t worry.” “If he’s out of danger, he’ll definitely contact me immediately. But there’s no news at all now. How can 1 be at ease?”

“Sister-in-law, I’ve already asked someone to investigate. There’ll be news soon. We can’t panic. Brother Lin is awesome. He’ll be fine,” Liang Jinming said.

“We’ve really troubled you.”

“What are you talking about? Aren’t we all on the same side? We can’t sit still if Brother Lin is suddenly uncontactable.”

Ji Qingyan did not say anything else. She supported her forehead with one hand and leaned against the side of the sofa as if she did not even have the strength to speak.

Qin Han felt upset and gave Liang Jinming and Gao Zongyuan a look. The three of them walked out one after another to the pavilion in the courtyard and lit a cigarette.

“Didn’t the two of you get someone to investigate this? Is there any news?” Qin

Han asked.

“With the Qin family’s connections, if you couldn’t find anything, what chance would we have?” Gao Zongyuan said.

-There’s no news at all at the moment. It seems the authorities have sealed off this matter. Not a single word has been leaked.”

“It’s way too quiet. It feels a little unusual.” Qin Han said,

“I’ve found some information, but none of it is related to Old Lin.

“That might be intentional,” Gao Zongyuan said.

“If this news is released, the share prices of the subsidiaries under Lingyun Group will plunge. It might even cause turmoil in the A-shares market. It’s normal for them to restrict all news about Brother Lin.”

“Buti if he is fine, why would they need to restrict any news?” Qin Han scolded. Beside him, Liang Jinming took a few puffs of his cigarette. “Something might have happened.”

The two of them focused their gazes on Liang Jinming.

“Nothing good comes out of a dog’s mouth. What are you saying?” Gao

Zongyuan scolded.

“I’m not spouting nonsense.” Liang Jinming said with a deep expression. “In truth, the things we see are just Brother Lin’s ident.i.ty on the surface. He still has other secret ident.i.ties.”

Liang Jinming recalled what had happened in Sunrise Land.

Brother Lin had killed many people in one go. Moreover, when he arrived at the emba.s.sy there, he was warmly received. Ordinary people would not receive such treatment.

Even he didn’t have the guts to do so.

Most importantly, ordinary people did not have the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in such an event.

For these reasons, Liang Jinming boldly guessed that Brother Lin might not be a victim of this incident.

Rather, he was a partic.i.p.ant!

“What ident.i.ty?”

“1 don’t know,” Liang Jinming shrugged and said:

“But think about it, a few days ago, didn’t we have dinner with a few of Brother Lin’s friends? Do you think they seemed like ordinary people?”

Liang Jinming’s words served as a reminder, and both of them recalled the scene of the dinner that day.

Those people, although wealthy heirs, had an extraordinary aura about them. Despite being very open and social, there were moments when they exuded an intense and formidable presence.

At the time, no one paid much attention to these details, being too caught up in the fun and enjoyment.

Thinking back now, those people might be more complex than they seemed. -I remember, a few days ago Brother Lin called me to set up a meeting to entertain a few friends, and he specifically warned me not to have any ulterior motives about them. Maybe he said that because of their unique ident.i.ties..”
