Childhood Friends
Lin Yi called Widow Wang's house at the entrance of the village.
"Hello? Star West Village, who are you looking for? "Widow Wang's village accent came through the phone.
"Aunt Wang, I'm Old Lin's Lil 'Yi. Can you call Er Goudan for me?" Lin Yi said.
"Ah? Old Lin's Lil 'Yi? Wait here, I'll go get him now! "Widow Wang replied and put down the phone.
Star West Village wasn't big, and basically everyone knew each other. Everyone bought things from Widow Wang, so Widow Wang was more than happy to have people come to her place to answer the phone.
Widow Wang's shop was right next to the village, and there was a loudspeaker inside. In the village, you basically had to shout to find someone. The loudspeaker could even wake someone up in the middle of their sleep.
"Er Goudan, it's Aunt Wang. Come and answer the phone!" Widow Wang yelled through the loudspeaker and returned to the shop.
Not long after, a man as strong as a bull ran into the shop. He was Er Goudan, 1.85m tall. He stood in front of the shop like a wall, "Aunt Wang, my phone?"
Er Goudan ran a kilometer away from home, but his face wasn't red, and his heart wasn't racing. He wasn't even out of breath. One look and you could tell that his body wasn't normal.
"It's Lil 'Yi. Hurry up, it's a long distance call. It's very expensive!" Widow Wang pointed at the phone on the table.
"Lin Yi Bro?" Er Goudan rubbed his hands together excitedly when he heard Lin Yi's name. "I'm Er Goudan!"
"Ah … Er Goudan," Lin Yi smiled, "Are things busy at home?"
"It's good. We planted the seeds a while ago, and now they're weeding and fertilizing. We're just waiting for the autumn harvest. We'll probably have a good harvest this year!" Er Goudan said.
"Not bad. Do you have a girlfriend?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
"Who'd like me?" Goudan smiled. "My family's so poor, and I don't look good. I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life!"
"If you have nothing to do during this period, come to my house. My old man has my address. You can help me bring some things over. It's a good opportunity to see the world," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Ah? Really? That's great! " Goudan heard that Lin Yi wanted him to go to a big city and see the world, and he couldn't be happier. "Then I'll leave after finishing the farm work at home … But Lin Yi bro, we haven't had the harvest yet, we don't have any travel expenses!"
Goudan and Lin Yi grew up together, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. No money was no money, it wasn't shameful.
"Haha, my old man will help you prepare the travel expenses. If you need anything, just tell me before you leave," Lin Yi smiled. "You don't have to be so polite with me."
"Of course, you're my Lin Yi bro, of course I won't be polite!" Goudan was like this since he was young. Other than his dad, he only listened to Lin Yi.
So in his eyes, Lin Yi and his dad were on the same level. It was natural for Lin Yi to give him money.
"Ha …" Lin Yi smiled. He didn't know how many years it had been since he played with Goudan. The days of catching fish and prawns together were long gone.
Even after he hung up, Lin Yi was still immersed in his memories … There were three times in his life when he was the happiest.
The first time was when he was young. At that time, he hadn't gone on a mission yet. He was still learning medicine from his old man, training his body. He didn't have many missions a day, and when he was free, he would catch fish and prawns with Goudan. It was a very carefree life.
The second time was in the training camp, with his teammates. He was the captain of the team, and he brought the other six teammates to overcome all obstacles and stand out! That time was hard and tiring, but it was also the most fulfilling!
It seemed tense, but there wasn't the danger of a real mission. There was only the trust and friendship between teammates! Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother, where are you now? Are you doing well? Are you busy with missions all over the world?
Lin Yi shook his head. His teammates had gone their separate ways after leaving the training camp, and he hadn't seen each other since.
The third time was when Lin Yi was in Songshan. Although he didn't know who his enemies were, and there were always some small troubles, these days of freedom made Lin Yi really happy. He hoped that it would never end!
Of course, other than these three happy times, Lin Yi also had a lot of painful times. One of them wasn't painful, but at least it was painful and happy at the same time. It was also a rare time … It was also during that time that he met Yang Huaijun, Armadillo, and Ning …
It was also because of Ning that this time was forcefully erased from Lin Yi's memory. It was also the reason why Lin Yi chose to run away when he first met Yang Huaijun.
Until now, Lin Yi didn't know why he rejected Ning so decisively. Was it because of the huge power behind her, or was it because he couldn't give her a stable life?
Lin Yi never thought that he would retire one day, and he didn't think that he would retire at such a young age! Lin Yi didn't know what his old man was thinking. He suddenly brought him to Songshan to do a special mission that would give him a lifetime's worth of food. This was a huge deal.
… …
Lingshan flipped through the case files on her desk. The kidney trafficking organization seemed to have been a lot more restrained recently. Ever since the transit station was destroyed, they seemed to have become a lot more careful. However, they didn't stop their crimes because they moved their targets and locations to the outskirts of the city!
In this week, there were already two cases of widowed farmers being murdered. It was the same method, but the locations were more unpredictable! One of the two victims was a villager from Yazi Village in the east of the city, and the other was a villager from Shenbu Village in the west. One in the east and one in the west, tens of kilometers away from each other. There was no pattern at all!
Even if they sent out the police force to keep watch, it was impossible to cover the hundreds of villages around the city with police officers. Putting aside the fact that the police force was not enough, even if it was enough, they couldn't possibly stop the entire police station and keep watch over the kidney trafficking organization, right?
Lingshan felt like a coward. She'd cracked a couple of big cases since she'd been appointed, and she'd received praise and recognition from the leaders of the province, but she knew what was going on. She didn't have the face to say how she'd cracked the cases.
