Chapter 3544 - 3536: Arrival at the Yucatan Peninsula
Chapter 3544: Chapter 3536: Arrival at the Yucatan Peninsula
"Got it," said Xiao Bing.
"But shouldn’t we hurry? It wouldn’t be good if someone else gets there first, right?"
"No one should know about this secret. We have plenty of time to prepare, so there’s no need to worry for now."
"Understood."
Lin Yi checked his watch, "Let’s go, it’s getting late. Let’s grab some food. You pick the place."
"Hehe, then I won’t stand on ceremony."
Xiao Bing found a western restaurant, and had a steak with Lin Yi.
"Lin Bro, if something’s up, don’t hide it from us. We’re part of the same team."
"What am I hiding from you?"
"That stone tablet, how did you get it?"
Xiao Bing looked at Lin Yi with a sneaky grin.
"You didn’t form a secret team and went on a mission behind our backs, did you?"
"I admire your imagination; why would I do such a thing?"
"But that stone tablet is obviously related to Tilia Island. Normal people couldn’t get it. And then there are the rings you made for us. The higher-ups don’t even know about these things. Where did you get them?"
"Don’t ask too many questions. It’s not what you think."
"As long as you haven’t secretly formed other teams, that’s fine," Bingbing chuckled.
They chatted a bit about work, and the rest was just casual talk.
Even though she’s become an indispensable part of the team.
Yet she couldn’t change her nature as a woman, being quite professional at gossiping.
Before leaving, Lin Yi left the stone tablet behind.
He asked Xiao Bing to take a closer look, trying to find new clues.
On the way back, Lin Yi reflected on the stone tablet.
Its name was the Lost Stone Tablet.
Perhaps it had other meanings, just that he didn’t know yet.
The system reminded him in such a way.
What kind of secrets might it hold there?
Slowly, Lin Yi drove back home.
Little Nuonuo was already asleep, and Ji Qingyan was applying a face mask.
Lin Yi freshened up a bit before getting into bed.
He leaned against the headboard next to Ji Qingyan.
"I need to go out in a few days, might be gone for a week."
Ji Qingyan’s hand paused for a moment.
He’d been home for quite some time, and indeed it was time for him to leave.
"What about work? Did you take leave?"
"I’m quitting, going to resign tomorrow."
"Not doing it anymore?!"
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi, a bit surprised.
"Seems like you’re not in a good mood."
"Someone died."
"Someone died?"
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi in shock, worried something had happened.
Lin Yi explained the situation about Liu Dagang to Ji Qingyan.
"Isn’t that guy too pathetic?"
"Yes, very pathetic."
Ji Qingyan turned around, sitting on Lin Yi’s lap, cupping his face.
"You did what you should have. The rest is up to fate, it’s not something you can control."
She stroked Ji Qingyan’s head, "Just let it go, it’s all destiny."
"You’ve experienced much more than I have, I’m sure you understand this. A little reflection is okay."
"I know, I just need to calm down a bit."
"Don’t dwell on it."
Ji Qingyan kissed Lin Yi on the cheek, "Hold me, let’s sleep."
"Alright."
Lin Yi held Ji Qingyan.
That night, they slept soundly.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi drove to work.
At the security office, he went straight to Ma Weiguo.
"Remember the old man you helped? Something happened to him yesterday."
Ma Weiguo spoke about Liu Dagang’s death like sharing gossip.
"I know, I arranged his affairs."
"Hmm? You arranged them?"
Ma Weiguo showed slight surprise on his face.
But once he thought about it, given Lin Yi’s character, doing such a thing seemed natural.
Because he wasn’t short on money, unlike himself who had to calculate everything.
"Don’t think too much about it, just work well. Birth and death are things no one can prevent."
"I’m here to resign," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Looks like it’s not even a month yet, just keep the salary for the guys to have a drink."
"Ah? You’re not doing it anymore?" Ma Weiguo said in surprise.
"It’s not just because of Liu Dagang; you know my conditions are decent. I came here just to pass the time. Now there’s something else at home, so I have to quit."
"Alright then."
Ma Weiguo felt a bit emotional.
Lin Yi was highly capable, and since he came, it had lightened the load significantly.
Suddenly leaving, he couldn’t help but feel a bit reluctant.
"Do you have time tonight? I’ll arrange a meal as a farewell."
"Can’t make it tonight, I’m leaving tonight."
Lin Yi said with a smile:
"I’ll still be in Zhong Hai, it’s not like we won’t see each other. Don’t make it so sentimental."
"Alright, then I won’t keep you. Come back and visit when you have time."
"Sure."
After chatting with Ma Weiguo for a bit, Lin Yi went to bid farewell to Liu Jingfeng, then left.
Back at home, he spent the day with Ji Qingyan and the child before setting off with Xiao Bing to the Yucatan Peninsula.
About 20 hours later, they landed at the airport.
After driving for nearly 10 hours, they finally reached the Yucatan Peninsula.
As a place heavily promoted and developed for tourism.
There were many tourists visiting here.
Their attire was indistinguishable from that of tourists.
To others, they looked just like a couple.
"This place is really hot."
Xiao Bing waved a fan, constantly complaining.
"Compared to the island, it’s much cooler here. If you come with a tourist’s mindset, naturally you’d feel hot."
"Got it."
After parking the car, they bought tickets.
Converted, it was about 260 yuan per ticket, not too expensive.
Their first stop was the ruins of Chichen Itza.
It was the largest among the three ruins and the one with the most tourists.
As soon as you arrive at the site, you can see the awe-inspiring pyramid.
With the wear and tear of time, it shows mottled marks.
Looking out, all you see is the vicissitudes of time.
Faced with such scenery, Xiao Bing appeared very curious.
Even though she wasn’t short on money at home, having traveled all over the world.
This was her first visit here.
"Just from looking at these places, I can’t quite see the marvels of the Mayan civilization."
"It’s already pretty remarkable," Lin Yi said.
"Their true strength lies in astronomy, calendars, art, and mathematics, which shouldn’t be judged by modern standards."
Gazing at the pyramid ahead, Lin Yi was quite moved.
"In that era, being able to build these things is unimaginable. And this is only a small part of Tilia Island’s civilization. When the mysteries of the island are fully uncovered, it might just overturn human imagination."
Gasp—
Xiao Bing shivered slightly.
"I didn’t feel much before, but after hearing you, it does seem very impressive."
