Chapter 3689: Chapter 3681: Light in the Darkness
Leon shivered in fear, feeling as if all his body hair stood on end.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Lin Yi, I know how to handle the two of them."
"Having done so many heinous things, they’ll meet a bad end. Release those who should be freed and accumulate some virtue for yourself."
"Yes, yes, I know what to do."
Lin Yi said nothing more and assisted Chen Yutong in leaving.
Outside, a car they prepared was waiting, but as soon as they stepped out of the building, two loud noises were heard.
Startled, Chen Yutong cowered in Lin Yi’s arms like a frightened bird.
"Lin Bro, what happened?"
"It’s nothing, nothing to do with us."
Walking another dozen meters or so, Lin Yi opened the car door, and Chen Yutong got in first.
It was exactly at this moment that Chen Yutong saw.
Two people being dragged out of the building.
And those two were Zhou Yunxi and the driver.
They appeared to be unconscious, dragged along like corpses.
On the ground, a long mark was left behind.
All of a sudden.
Chen Yutong felt her scalp tingle.
Her instincts led her to suspect something.
"Lin Bro, could they have..."
"Having done so many unforgivable things, being dealt with now is just their comeuppance."
Chen Yutong’s face remained pale.
Since childhood, she had been a sheltered flower, well protected, having never weathered the storms outside.
This experience was undeniably bloody.
With no warning, she was exposed to the darkest sides of society and human nature.
It’s hard to accept all at once.
Lin Yi drove away, reaching the airport just before dawn.
"Lin Bro."
After getting out of the car, Chen Yutong hugged Lin Yi tightly, crying her heart out.
"If you hadn’t come, I might never have returned home in this lifetime. Thank you for saving me."
"Do you realize your mistake now?"
"I do. I should have listened to you and my sister, not trusted others so easily. You two are the ones who truly care about me."
"The one who truly cares about you is your sister. Remember, she will never harm you in any situation," Lin Yi reassured her.
"What she asks you to do may not always be the very best choice, but it’s definitely not wrong."
"I understand, Lin Bro. From now on, I’ll study hard and won’t run around recklessly."
"Realizing your mistake is enough, let’s go."
He patted Chen Yutong’s shoulder, trying to comfort her emotions.
Once she calmed down, they entered the airport.
They booked the earliest flight back to the country, then transferred to return to Zhong Hai.
When they landed in Zhong Hai, it was already past two in the afternoon.
As they stepped out of the airport terminal, bright sunlight washed over their faces.
It made Chen Yutong feel surreal.
It seemed like the experiences of last night were nothing but a dream.
At this moment, Chen Yuying ran over as soon as she saw the two coming out of the airport.
"I almost want to strangle you; you snuck away without telling anyone. Do you know how worried we were?"
"Sis, I realize my mistake."
Faced with Chen Yuying’s scolding, Chen Yutong hugged her at once.
Crying her eyes out.
This left Chen Yuying momentarily stunned.
She expected them to banter with her, pretending to admit their mistake.
Never imagined such a scene, crying so terribly.
Instinctively, Chen Yuying looked towards Lin Yi.
Wanting to know what happened, but Lin Yi just shrugged without explaining.
After all, she was back.
Learning from mistakes, it’s certain she won’t dare to do it again.
As for the whole truth, there’s no need to tell her.
"Alright, I won’t blame you anymore, stop crying."
Chen Yuying gently stroked her back, finding it hard to continue scolding her.
After comforting Chen Yutong for a while, Lin Yi drove them back to the company.
On their way back, system notifications echoed in Lin Yi’s mind.
[System task, responsibility and protection completed, rewarded with 15% master level driving skills.]
[Job completion rate: 70%, rewarded with 2 billion in cash.]
Upon seeing the system rewards in his mind, Lin Yi remained incredibly calm.
This 2 billion in cash was crucial for him.
At this critical point, it could remedy the lack of cash flow.
Additionally, the system notification chimed again.
[System task: Safely drive 15 million kilometers, rewarded with 300,000 master level driving skills.]
Upon seeing the system task in his mind, Lin Yi roughly calculated.
On average, covering around 50 kilometers a day, it would take a month to complete.
The time isn’t too long or too short.
If any business trips require driving, the task’s timeline could be significantly shortened.
After returning to the company, Lin Yi was left without any immediate tasks.
Chen Yuying went to work, and Chen Yutong quietly approached Lin Yi.
"Lin Bro, I feel like your identity is not ordinary."
"What’s so unusual about it?"
"The people there seemed very afraid of you, like you’re not an ordinary driver."
"It’s not about fear; it’s complicated, not as simple as you think."
"So what?"
"Study hard, and don’t ask too many questions in this area."
"Oh, understood."
For Chen Yutong, last night’s experience was a memory best left unspoken.
As her tension relaxed, Chen Yutong felt exhausted and had Lin Yi take her home.
But to complete the task quickly, he returned to the company after dropping her off.
Since transporting Chen Yuying also counted toward the task.
During the downtime, Lin Yi continued communicating with company members, ready to handle any unexpected incidents.
Ring—ring—ring—
While waiting in the meeting room, Lin Yi received a call from Qi Xianzhao.
"Director Lin, several indications suggest that Kaijie Group’s cash flow is extremely fragile, and they may lose control of their stock price at any moment."
"Over the next few days, I plan to go on a business trip with President Tian to Synopsys. After all, we’re their largest shareholder, and we should attend the shareholder meeting."
"That sounds like a good plan."
"This is also the result of our meeting. If we can deliver a heavy blow at this critical juncture, Kaijie Group might well collapse."
"Let’s not be overly optimistic for now. Keep an eye on Wall Street’s movements recently; Kaijie Group has many allies who might step in at any time. This short-selling campaign won’t be easy."
"Understood."
After hanging up Qi Xianzhao’s call, Lin Yi sorted through his thoughts.
Kaijie Group itself is undoubtedly a lone struggle.
But they have many allies and the Bright Society.
These invisible forces in the background are the focal points of this showdown.
The next steps require precaution on that front.
As he pondered this, Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed.
"Let me see; what kind of scoundrels are you all?"
