Chapter 3114: The Identity of the Action
When they arrived at the hospital, it was much quieter.
Gao Zongyuan was watching a drama with Liang Jinming, and the two were thoroughly enjoying it.
Liang Jinming's condition was also better than yesterday.
"Old Gao, help me look something up."
"Look up what?"
"Find the location of the SF541 cargo ship."
"Ah?"
Gao Zongyuan was taken aback, a bit puzzled.
"Just a personal matter, help me check it out."
The Gao family, known as the ship kings, had significant influence in maritime affairs, so asking him to handle this was quite convenient.
"I should ask Old Liang; he would be more convenient for this."
"Right, the shipping company and the maritime department are one family. I'll give him a call."
"Alright."
Originally, Lin Yi could have easily found out this information by calling Liang Ruoxu or the Central Guard Regiment.
But this was a personal matter, and using official connections would invite unnecessary questions.
So, for personal matters, he would use private means to resolve it.
Liang Jinming was very efficient, and a few minutes later, he called back.
"It seems to be one of your courier company's ships, currently docked in Djibouti."
"Damn, why is it still there? Isn't that just asking for trouble?" Gao Zongyuan said.
"If a ship stops there, it's 100% going to encounter pirates. They won't let you leave unless you pay up."
Because his family was in this business, Gao Zongyuan was particularly knowledgeable about such situations.
After hearing his words, Lin Yi had a clear understanding of the system task.
It seemed the cargo ship had encountered a problem there.
As long as he resolved this issue, the task would be completed.
What he needed to do next was to think about what identity to use.
Using an official identity would be highly inappropriate.
After all, it was a private company's matter, and they needed to solve their own problems unless they sought official help.
Even if they did seek help, it wouldn't require his personal intervention.
Such an incident didn't reach the level of the Central Guard Regiment.
Moreover, since this was a system-issued task, it would be safer to appear as a courier.
So, he needed to make some arrangements.
After spending some time with Liang Jinming at the hospital, Lin Yi left.
He planned to take over for Gao Zongyuan the next day and stay with him overnight.
After returning home, Lin Yi played with the children for a while. Ji Qingyan asked about Liang Jinming's condition and said she planned to visit again the next day.
Then the two of them went to bed early.
...
The next morning, Lin Yi went to work as usual, while Xu Wen drove to the court.
On the way, Xu Wen was quite anxious.
Since she had not been involved in this matter at all and knew almost nothing about it, she lacked confidence about what was about to happen.
After arriving at the court, Xu Wen parked the car.
She then found a phone number in her chat history with Lin Yi, which was today's lawyer, Ma Huaiyang.
"Hello, Mr. Ma, this is Xu Wen. Lin Yi asked me to contact you."
"Hello, I'm right at the entrance. You'll see me when you come over."
"Alright, I'm getting out of the car now."
After locking the car, Xu Wen hurriedly got out with her bag and saw a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase at the court entrance.
They waved to each other and hung up the phone.
Xu Wen quickened her pace, walked towards Ma Huaiyang, and extended her hand.
"Hello, Mr. Ma, thank you for your help today."
"You're welcome, it's my duty."
Ma Huaiyang looked at his watch. "It's about time. Let's go inside, and I'll get more details from you."
"Alright."
The two of them walked into the court.
Xu Wen was a bit nervous.
Just by looking at Ma Huaiyang's appearance, she couldn't tell how skilled he was.
Despite Lin Yi's repeated assurances that there was no need to worry, she couldn't control her anxiety.
As soon as they entered, they saw a man in his thirties walking towards them.
The man was tall and straight, wearing a uniform, and had a very noticeable presence.
It wasn't hard to guess that he was a staff member here.
Seeing him approach, Ma Huaiyang also went forward and said politely,
"Why are you still waiting for me here?"
"Mr. Ma, I already feel bad for not meeting you at the entrance, so I at least had to wait for you here."
"You've graduated, and I've moved to a private firm. We're no longer teacher and student, and especially here, we need to avoid any appearance of impropriety."
"It's fine, no one will mind."
Ma Huaiyang smiled and introduced him to Xu Wen,
"This is Ding Zhijun, the mediator for your case."
Upon learning his identity, Xu Wen was quite surprised.
She hadn't expected that the lawyer Lin Yi had found for her would know the mediator of this case.
As the saying goes, having connections in high places makes things easier.
With this connection, she had much more leverage.
"Hello, thank you for your help today."
"You're welcome, it's my duty." Ding Zhijun smiled and led them to his office.
Following behind, Xu Wen couldn't describe her feelings.
She had thought she was just getting an ordinary lawyer to handle this matter.
But now, it seemed that Ma Huaiyang was much more capable than she had imagined.
Where did Lin Yi find this person?
Could it be one of his wealthy friends recommended him?
That seemed to be the only possibility.
Otherwise, a lawyer of this caliber wouldn't be accessible to ordinary people.
Once in the office, the atmosphere became more relaxed. Ma Huaiyang asked,
"Your main concern is the house, right?"
Xu Wen nodded. "The house was bought by my parents, so I can't give it to him. Please help me keep it, Mr. Ma."
"That shouldn't be a problem. But besides the house, I can also help you claim some of his assets. I can't guarantee everything, but at least 70% is possible."
"Really? I can also get a share of his assets?"
"Of course, and it will be entirely legal."
Xu Wen was pleasantly surprised. Her main goal was to keep the house, and she didn't care about the rest.
But she hadn't expected any additional benefits.
"I'll let the rest go. I just want to end the marriage as soon as possible and have a clear boundary with him."
"Since it's just about the house, there's not much to discuss."
Ding Zhijun nodded with a smile. "I feel this kind of thing doesn't even require the teacher to come in person. Anybody could handle it."
"Every case, no matter how big or small, should be taken seriously."
"Understood, teacher."
"I think it's about time. Let's go and resolve this matter quickly to put it behind us."
"Alright."
