Chapter 84

"You've already held out for a minute. Take advantage of the three-day break to relax."

"Haha, thanks."

Losing to Lin Yi wasn't a big deal for them, and they considered it quite normal.

The most important thing was that he had managed to get a three-day break this way.

This was better than anything else.

Liang Ruoxu smiled, knowing that Lin Yi was always meticulous in dealing with people and social situations.

This was just like his mother-in-law.

"Dad, let's go," Liang Ruoxu said.

"He gets to be the good guy," Liang Cunxiao complained.

"Hey, you're so old, why bother with him so much? Come on, let's go eat," Liang Ruoxu said with a grin.

Then, the three of them carried the mud-covered little Lin Cheng away.

They stripped off his clothes, then carried him naked to the car and drove home.

That night, the whole family went out to eat, including Liang Ruoxu's grandparents.

They didn't go to any fancy hotel, just a regular restaurant downstairs from their home.

The women ate a little and then went home.

Lin Yi and the two men stayed to drink.

After learning that Lin Yi had reached level 20, Liang Xianghe was overjoyed.

Liang Cunxiao also knew about the new equipment of the Central Guard Regiment.

After understanding the details, he praised Lin Yi endlessly.

His expectations for little Lin Cheng also rose to a new level.

Around eleven o'clock, Lin Yi drove Liang Xianghe back, then he and Liang Cunxiao went home.

Of course, that night, Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu started working on their second child, not finishing until the early hours of the morning.

The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, Liang Ruoxu was already up.

"What are you doing up? Go back to sleep."

"You have to go see Old Lu today."

"You already knew that?"

"You always go when you come here," Liang Ruoxu said.

"My mom wants me to go with you."

"You don't have to go. It's better to sleep at home."

"My mom is worried you'll bring pure milk again," Liang Ruoxu said.

"Yesterday, she even brought back some good tea from her office."

"Ah... my mother-in-law is so considerate."

"Do you even have the nerve to say that?"

After a complaint, the two of them got dressed, washed up, and had breakfast. Then they handed the child to the nanny and drove to Lu Beichen's place.

"Finally, no more pure milk."

Seeing what Lin Yi was carrying, Lu Beichen said.

"Look at what you're saying. It's the thought that counts, not the formality."

"Old Lu, don't take it to heart. I'll go make you some tea," Liang Ruoxu said.

"If I wanted to take it to heart, I wouldn't have let him in."

"You're right, no need to take him seriously."

"How come it's just the two of you? Why didn't you bring the child?"

"The child is very mischievous, he touches everything and wants everything. I didn't dare bring him here."

"You still have the nerve to talk about the child. You were even more mischievous when you were young," Lu Beichen said.

"You played with slingshots and used my Maotai as a target. Only you would do that."

"Oh, that was many years ago, don't bring it up."

Lu Beichen laughed, "Bring the child over when you have time. I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Sure, I understand."

Because he was used to eating Lin Yi's cooking, at noon, Liang Ruoxu chatted with Lu Beichen while Lin Yi went to the kitchen and cooked a few dishes. The old and the young slowly drank together.

As before, Lin Yi poured a small amount for Lu Beichen, not letting him drink too much.

With Liang Ruoxu there, their conversation mostly stayed on everyday life.

Several times, he reminded Liang Ruoxu to bring the child over when he had time.

Around three in the afternoon, seeing that Lu Beichen was getting tired, the two of them said goodbye.

"Given Old Lu's age, his grandson should be about my age, and he probably has a great-grandson by now."

"Uncle Lu's child is a girl, and she had a daughter. Plus, they have some feudal ideas, so they want to see our son more often."

"That makes sense," Lin Yi said.

"Uncle Lu helped a lot when the company had issues. I haven't properly thanked him yet."

"Mainly, he doesn't lack anything. What you can give, Uncle Lu might not even care about. Don't worry too much," Liang Ruoxu said.

"Invite Uncle Lu for a meal when you have time. He and Old Lu both like to drink. You should be able to keep him company."

"If that's the case, I should get some good wine in advance."

"Go to my dad's place; he has a lot of good stuff."

"Sure, sure."

"Life should be like this. From now on, we'll be like iron roosters, only taking in, not giving out."

"Alright."

The old man didn't go home directly but went out for a date.

Liang Ruoxu called some friends to have a meal. After eating, Lin Yi called the team members back, and they all went to a bar.

There were about twenty people, and they drank a lot, costing Lin Yi several hundred thousand.

For the next two days, Lin Yi didn't do much, just spending time with Liang Ruoxu and the child.

They visited local and nearby attractions, trying to make up for his responsibilities as much as possible.

The child's innocence was far beyond Lin Yi's expectations.

Just playing with him for a day, he became a bit clingy the next day.

But happy times are always short. After two days, Lin Yi was also preparing to leave.

The night before he left, Lin Yi and Ning Che drank at a bar and discussed related matters.

"The captain's family is under control. Normally, there shouldn't be any problems, and it's much safer than hiding on the island."

Lin Yi nodded, "How's Aphrodite? Any news on her?"

"That woman is not simple; she's also an intelligence expert. We haven't heard from her yet," Ning Che said.

"But with Yuluo's abilities, finding her should not be a problem. The remaining task is to board the island. We should plan it well."

"When you board the ship at Rock Island, place some surveillance in key areas. We need to observe the ship's situation."

"Is there anything else?"

"Nothing for now. This mission isn't difficult and isn't very dangerous, so there's no need to make a big fuss."

"Then let's talk about the real matter."

"What real matter?"

Ning Che propped her chin with one hand, smiling at Lin Yi, and took off her high heels, rubbing her toes on Lin Yi's leg.

"Old Liu said that the other three teams' levels are getting further and further behind yours. Old Lu criticized us and said we should learn from you."

"Are we learning the right things?"

"The sooner, the better. Let's go now."
