Chapter 63

Chapter 3131: Let's End This Matter Here

Lin Yi drove for less than seven hours to cover the 800-kilometer journey.

With Lin Yi's driving skills, if the road conditions were good, it might have taken even less time.

When he returned to the hotel, it was already past nine in the evening.

Lin Yi did not inform Gao Xiaoqiu about his return.

They could only be considered as people who had met by chance, and now that the goal was achieved, there was no need to get close to her anymore.

Lin Yi touched his chin, feeling a bit like a scoundrel.

Well, it doesn't matter.

It was all done by Qin Han, what does it have to do with me, Lin Yi?

But not long after he returned, he heard a knock on the door.

When he opened it, he found that the person who came was Gao Xiaoqiu.

"Qin Han, you really came back."

Seeing Lin Yi standing in front of her, Gao Xiaoqiu was both surprised and excited.

It felt like a dream.

"I just got here," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"How did you know I came back?"

"I gave the staff a little tip to keep an eye on things. Someone said they saw you, so I came over."

As she spoke, Gao Xiaoqiu patted her chest.

"I was really scared these few days you were gone."

"I already told you it's fine, no need to worry," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Has the ship set sail?"

"It has already departed."

Gao Xiaoqiu looked at Lin Yi, "Are you sure everything is okay?"

"Don't worry, it's fine," Lin Yi said.

"If everything goes smoothly, when will the cargo ship arrive at its destination?"

"At the earliest, it will take more than half a month. It depends on the sea conditions."

"Got it."

Gao Xiaoqiu nodded, feeling a weight lifted off her mind.

This matter seemed a bit far-fetched to anyone, but she inexplicably trusted Lin Yi.

She believed he could handle it.

"When are you leaving?" Gao Xiaoqiu asked.

"I've finished everything here. I booked a flight for tomorrow and am preparing to go back. What about you?"

"I might have to wait a few more days to check on the cargo ship," Gao Xiaoqiu said, shrugging helplessly. "I probably can't go back with you."

Although she said that, in reality, Gao Xiaoqiu was testing Lin Yi.

She hoped he would stay a few more days and accompany her back.

During these few days, the two of them could spend some time together.

As for how to spend the time, it was something that could only be understood, not spoken of.

With Lin Yi's intelligence, he naturally understood her underlying meaning.

But since the task was completed, there was no need to maintain contact with Gao Xiaoqiu anymore.

After all, it was all done by Qin Han, and he was a good person.

"I have some things to take care of at the company, so I can't stay with you," Lin Yi said, feigning regret.

"Alright, get some rest. Thanks for your help this time."

"You're welcome," Lin Yi said with a smile. "After all, we agreed that I'm your bodyguard, and you still have to pay me."

"You're just helping out of the goodness of your heart, not for the money."

"It's a small matter, don't worry about the details."

Gao Xiaoqiu nodded, "It's getting late, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Gao Xiaoqiu left with regret.

She had hoped that something would happen between them tonight, but seeing that Lin Yi had no such intention, she couldn't be too forward.

After seeing Gao Xiaoqiu off, Lin Yi lay down on the bed.

Now that the cargo ship had safely set sail, according to the system's usual style, once it reached its destination, this stage of the task would be considered complete.

For the remaining time, he could relax.

Looking at the time, it was already past eleven at night. Considering the time difference, it was around four in the morning in Yan Country.

Lin Yi gave up the idea of chatting with someone, played some games, and then went to sleep.

The next morning, Lin Yi packed his things early and drove to the airport.

After a 16-hour flight, he transferred and returned to Zhonghai, arriving around ten in the morning.

After getting off the plane, Lin Yi went home first.

"Daddy..."

The first person to see Lin Yi when he got home was Xiao Nuo Nuo.

Ji Qingyan was playing with her phone on the sofa and didn't notice Lin Yi.

Hearing Xiao Nuo Nuo's voice, the family looked towards the door and welcomed him in.

The Ji family was used to Lin Yi's frequent trips abroad, so they acted normally.

Only Xiao Nuo Nuo, stumbling towards Lin Yi, hugged his leg and was then picked up by him.

"In my memory, this is the first time she has come to me on her own," Lin Yi said.

"Because you weren't busy these days and played with her every night, she came to you," Ji Qingyan said softly.

"She has been looking for you these few days you were gone."

"Really?"

Lin Yi happily kissed Xiao Nuo Nuo on the cheek.

"I'll have to play with her more often."

"Children are like that; they like whoever plays with them."

Lin Yi nodded, more determined to spend more time at home with the child.

The family chatted for a while. Lin Yi put Xiao Nuo Nuo down, went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed clothes, and then they had lunch together.

After lunch, Lin Yi prepared to visit Liang Jinming at the hospital.

But he didn't say it directly, instead saying he was going to the research institute to throw off suspicion.

Because of Li Chuhan, Lin Yi didn't want Ji Qingyan to appear at the hospital too often.

Although Li Chuhan didn't care about the rumors, Lin Yi didn't want her to bear too much.

When he arrived at the ward, he heard laughter before he even entered the room.

Liang Jinming was playing a board game with a few internet celebrities and models, having a great time.

"Brother Lin."

"Lord Lin."

Seeing Lin Yi come in, the internet celebrities and models stood up to greet him.

Liang Jinming, sitting cross-legged on the bed, moved over to make room for Lin Yi.

"Go out for a bit, I need to talk to Brother Lin alone."

"Okay."

"Lord Lin, Brother Ming, goodbye..."

The internet celebrities and models greeted them and left.

"Let me check how you're recovering."

Liang Jinming extended his hand. The bandages had been removed, and he was now using a large, breathable band-aid.

Lin Yi peeled back a corner of the band-aid and saw that the wound was healing well.

"The fixation frame has been removed. Be careful when moving, don't pull the wound."

"I will," Liang Jinming said with a laugh.

"My wife is watching me closely every day."

Lin Yi nodded. Since Liang Jinming was recovering well, he wasn't worried anymore.

"Brother, did you really go to deal with the courier company this time?" Liang Jinming asked.

"Of course, what else, did you think I went there to flirt with girls?"

"That's good."

"Why are you asking this now?"

"I mean, my injury is almost healed, so let's just put this matter to rest," Liang Jinming said.

"As you said, you've killed many people, and it's normal for them to come for revenge. If you keep killing them, this will never end."
