"Of course," Lin Yi didn't expect Boss Zhu to agree right away. That wasn't realistic! If he agreed right away, Lin Yi would suspect that there was something wrong with him. Lin Yi didn't believe that he had some sort of king's aura that could make Boss Zhu submit right away!
Wu Chentian, hidden House Han, and hidden House Pi's submission all had specific conditions. Boss Zhu only talked to him once and he'd submit? That wasn't realistic.
"Fuu …" Boss Zhu let out a breath of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you …"
"What's with Chen Xi?" Lin Yi asked.
"Chen Xi is the illegitimate daughter of the young head … I'm someone the young head arranged to be by her side … That's all I can say, I can't say anything else right now. I hope Mister Lin can understand and don't force me," Boss Zhu said.
Lin Yi could get some information from Mrs. Chen later on, so Boss Zhu didn't hide it.
"Oh?" Lin Yi paused. He didn't expect Chen Xi to be Zhao Guangyin's illegitimate daughter? This Zhao Guangyin was pretty good at messing around when he was young. It wasn't enough that he had Zhao Qibing, but now he had an illegitimate daughter? But what surprised Lin Yi was that the daughter of House Zhao was picking up trash?
"House Zhao has a strong patriarchal mindset, and they're very clear on the difference between the legitimate and illegitimate sons …" Boss Zhu saw Lin Yi's confusion and explained.
"So that's how it is." Lin Yi nodded- it made sense now. This was most likely the reason why Zhao Qikun wasn't valued! Zhao Qibing was the son of Zhao Guangyin, the young head of the house. Even if it was passed down, it would be his son who would be the heir, not Zhao Qikun! Thinking of Zhao Qikun, Lin Yi asked, "How's Zhao Qikun now?"
"Zhao Qikun, at the hidden house summit, he wanted to call Mister Lin and tell him that Zhao Qibing's car was modified, but he was caught red-handed and is now under house arrest." Boss Zhu didn't hide it- these things weren't too important. Qikun would tell Lin Yi about it when the Sky Elixir school's test was held, so Boss Zhu was just telling him first.
"He's under house arrest …" Lin Yi was very surprised- he didn't think that Qikun would be locked up because of him! It seemed like Qikun had truly accepted him as his boss, or else he wouldn't be like this. This surprised Lin Yi!
But after knowing this, Lin Yi couldn't just ignore Zhao Qikun. He was locked up because of him, and this time, he was going to the Sky Elixir school's test. It seemed like House Zhao wanted to use this chance to get rid of him.
"Mister Lin, I can't do anything about this. I can't interfere with House Zhao's business," Boss Zhu thought that Lin Yi wanted his help, so he explained bitterly.
"It's fine, just tell him to go to the test in peace. I'll take care of everything!" Lin Yi said.
"That's easy," Boss Zhu nodded- this was something he could do.
"About the hidden House Pi, don't talk about it- they're all dead anyway, there's no evidence," Lin Yi said faintly, "Whatever you want to make up later, that's up to you."
"Alright." Boss Zhu sighed. He didn't say anything yet, but he was already on Lin Yi's boat! But what else could he do if he didn't agree? If Lin Yi wanted to kill him and Uncle Zhu, he could do it with a wave of his hand. No one could protect him, so he had to give in.
"Chen Xi, I'll leave her to you- I don't want anything to happen to her." Lin Yi said with an unquestionable tone, "If anything happens, you'll be in trouble too."
"I understand!" Boss Zhu quickly replied.
"Alright, since you're here, you can take Chen Xi back," Lin Yi said. He wasn't worried anymore, "You know what to do, right?"
"I know," Boss Zhu nodded helplessly.
After getting off the car with Boss Zhu, Lin Yi went back to the villa and saw Chen Xi sitting on the sofa alone, not watching TV or reading magazines, just sitting there like a fool.
It wasn't that Chen Xi didn't want to, but suddenly staying in such a luxurious villa made her feel uncomfortable and restricted. She didn't dare touch anything in the villa.
"Chen Xi, since your grandpa Zhu is here to pick you up, you can go back with him. I won't be sending you off," Lin Yi said.
"Ah … Okay …" Chen Xi was a bit disappointed- she actually wanted Lin Yi to send her back so she could spend more time with Lin Yi, but she didn't dare say it out loud. She could only nod.
"Study hard when you get back, and don't always pick up trash. If you don't have money, ask Ying Ziyu for it." Lin Yi didn't want Chen Xi to be distracted by these things.
"Yeah …" Ziyu said, but evidently wasn't going to do that.
Lin Yi didn't have a choice, too- Chen Xi and Ziyu were close, but Chen Xi wouldn't use Ziyu's money.
After sending Chen Xi and Boss Zhu off, Lin Yi looked at the time. It was still early, and he was about to ask Mengyao and Yushu what was going on when Lin Yi got a call from Lingshan!
"Silly girl, your call really came at the right time." Lingshan's call came in just as Lin Yi was done with the things he had on hand.
"Why are you calling me silly girl again?" Lingshan felt a little familiar with the way he called her. She remembered that Lin Yi hadn't called her that in a while, and hearing it now gave her a strange feeling.
"Ah … I just remembered, so I called you that." Lin Yi thought back to when he first met Lingshan, feeling a little emotional. In the blink of an eye, they were all from Songshan to Donghai city.
"You missed me?" Lingshan's voice started to sound a little sweet and coquettish.
"A little." Lin Yi didn't deny it- it had been a long time since he last saw Lingshan, and seeing her today made him feel a sense of closeness. It was just that Lingshan had a case to deal with, so Lin Yi didn't talk to her much.
"Ha, real or fake, I'm pretty happy." Lingshan was a little surprised.
"It's just a simple thing between friends," Lin Yi added.
"Can't you just add that last part?" Lingshan said, a little discouraged.
"There are different types of friends," Lin Yi sweated- he didn't expect Lingshan to react this strongly.
"Alright, if that's the case, can you help me look into the kidnapping case?" Lingshan felt a little better.
