Chapter 3113: High-Priced Task
Seeing the evidence the police presented, Liu Manzhi was drenched in cold sweat, his face pale.
He wanted to speak, but his mouth was dry, and he couldn't utter a single word.
The police had come, and they had evidence.
He had no room for rebuttal.
When he looked at Lin Yi again, fear appeared in his eyes.
He never dreamed that Lin Yi would involve the police in such a matter.
Could a normal person do something like this!
"Click!"
The police officer handcuffed Liu Manzhi, "Come with us."
"What are you going to do!"
At this moment, Liu Manzhi's wife rushed over, trying to stop them.
"We've already explained clearly. He is suspected of hooliganism and fraud and needs to come with us for investigation."
"Brother, I admit it was my fault. I'll return the items now and apologize to you."
"Apologizing now is a bit too late, and it's not appropriate to say these things, since we already gave you a chance."
After saying this, Lin Yi looked at the two police officers, "Brothers, I'll leave this to you."
"Alright."
After giving the instruction, Lin Yi left.
As for the subsequent handling, he no longer cared, as his goal had been achieved.
After leaving, Lin Yi continued delivering packages.
During this time, Lin Yi called Xiao Bing to inquire about their situation.
Although they had reconstructed the portrait of the contact person, there were some discrepancies, and the other party's confidentiality measures were extremely tight, so they hadn't found any useful information after several days.
Soon, a day passed, and Lin Yi finished delivering the packages. He rode his electric tricycle, feeling the wind, heading towards the delivery station.
"Hey, young man!"
At this moment, a voice came from behind Lin Yi.
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, accompanied by a middle-aged woman, who seemed to be his wife.
Both had a refined appearance, with gentle smiles on their faces, looking very kind.
"What's up?"
Lin Yi stopped the tricycle and waited for the two to come over.
"Hey, young man, can you send packages overseas?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Sure."
"But it takes a long time, and I can't say exactly how many days."
"We want to move, and it will cost a lot, right?"
"Huh? Move?"
"My son has settled abroad, and we are getting old. It's not practical for the two of us to keep living here, so we are thinking of moving over there."
Lin Yi nodded, understanding their situation.
"If that's the case, it would be more suitable to go by sea. You can get a container, but it will take even longer. But for something like this, you probably don't care about the time."
"Does your company offer sea shipping?"
"Yes, we started it six months ago." Lin Yi said, "When you're ready to move, you can inquire at the delivery point on the east gate."
"Thank you, young man."
"You're welcome."
After finishing the conversation, Lin Yi rode his tricycle away.
At the store, he started sorting the packages collected during the day, preparing to send them off.
Around six o'clock, the truck came to collect the packages, and Xu Wen came along.
"How much do you know about the company's sea shipping services?" Lin Yi asked.
"Sea shipping?" Xu Wen looked at Lin Yi, "Why are you asking about this now?"
"Today, an elderly couple asked me about moving overseas."
"Better not take that job."
"What's wrong?"
"The sea shipping service has only been running for less than half a year, but it hasn't been smooth. There are always problems." Xu Wen said, "If we take this job, it could cause us trouble if anything goes wrong."
"Considering the scale of the group, shouldn't starting a sea shipping service be no problem?"
"I've heard they often encounter pirates, but I don't know the details. And recently, a batch of goods has been delayed for more than half a month." Xu Wen said, "In short, let's not take this job. It's not worth the trouble."
"Got it."
After finishing the conversation, Lin Yi continued working.
At this moment, the system notification sounded in his mind.
[System Task: Help the SF541 cargo ship leave the port and successfully reach its destination. Reward: 400,000 proficiency points.]
"Damn!"
Lin Yi exclaimed inwardly.
After doing tasks for so many years, this was only the second time he had seen such a high reward.
But his long-term experience told him that the higher the reward, the greater the difficulty of the task.
Looking at the task description, he found that this task was quite challenging.
The primary goal now was to find the location of the SF541 cargo ship and then handle the subsequent tasks.
If it was at a domestic port, everything would be easier.
As long as he got on the ship and went with it, all problems would be solved, almost like a trip.
But if it was elsewhere, it would be more complicated.
However, it wasn't a big issue.
Ring, ring, ring—
Just as he was changing clothes and preparing to close the store and leave, Xu Wen's phone rang.
But upon seeing the caller ID, Xu Wen hung up directly.
Lin Yi, standing nearby, glanced at her, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing to worry about."
"Was it your ex-husband calling?"
Xu Wen nodded but didn't say anything else.
"You're too petty. It's just a call, why not answer it?" Lin Yi said, "There's no need to get angry with such a person. It's not worth it."
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Xu Wen felt he had a point.
There was no need to get upset with such a person.
Just then, the second call came in.
Lin Yi nodded, signaling Xu Wen to answer the call.
She pressed the call button and put it on speaker.
"Xu Wen, the mediation is tomorrow. Don't be late. I'll be waiting for you on time."
It was clear that Wang Guodong was very confident, as if he was sure of victory.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there!"
After saying this coldly, Xu Wen hung up, her mood sinking.
"Tomorrow, when you go, someone will be waiting for you at the court entrance. He will handle everything for you."
"Someone will wait for me? Not a lawyer?"
"Smart."
Lin Yi smiled, "This kind of thing needs to be handled by professionals. So tomorrow, you don't need to say anything; just meet up with him."
Lin Yi's words moved Xu Wen.
She didn't expect that he had secretly found a lawyer for her and arranged everything so well.
"Even if you asked me to handle it now, I wouldn't have the ability. The success or failure of tomorrow is crucial."
Patted Xu Wen's shoulder, "Don't worry."
After discussing the next day's matters, Lin Yi drove away, heading to the hospital.
