Chapter 2639: Chapter 2640: China’s things must not fall into the hands of outsiders

After handling the two people’s matters, Lin Yi made a call to Wang Shijie.

He asked them to send someone to take Lilith away.

After finishing up at the hospital, Lin Yi went to Nanyi University to meet up with Sui Qiang and Zhao Yunhu.

Just as he arrived at the hospital, Lin Yi received a call from Xiao Bing.

"Lin Bro, we’ve just gotten off the plane, we’ll be at the brigade soon."

"Alright, but there’s one more thing I need to instruct you guys on."

Lin Yi replied, then said:

"Look into a person named William, he’s a collector, probably related to antiques and artifacts, try to investigate him."

"Understood!"

After a few more words, Lin Yi hung up the phone.

The matter of the mysterious statue always seemed strange to Lin Yi.

He had a feeling it should be a stone with some sort of magnetic field, similar to a magnet.

As for its effects, that would depend on the Central Guards Brigade’s test results.

Stretching his body a bit, Lin Yi put aside the statue situation.

After getting out of the car, he went to a nearby restaurant to buy some dishes, then headed to Zhang Youfu’s hospital room.

Seeing Lin Yi come in, Sui Qiang and Zhao Yunhu stood up to welcome him.

"Let’s eat first."

The two didn’t stand on ceremony with Lin Yi and took the food to prepare for the meal.

"How’s the situation at Shangqing Palace over there?"

"I sent the stuff away, absolutely safe, you don’t need to worry about it." Lin Yi said:

"Just let me know whenever you want to bring it back."

"I’m just guarding it, it’s not even mine." Zhang Youfu said:

"If I meet the right person, I’ll pass it on, if not, I’ll hand it over."

"I’m about to lose my life, so don’t worry about this anymore."

Though Zhang Youfu is an old character with questionable conduct, he still holds the line on matters of principle.

"Have you caught the mastermind?" Zhang Youfu asked.

"The ones who came were just small fries, the mastermind is very cautious, hasn’t shown up."

Lin Yi stopped for a moment, speaking seriously:

"Based on various signs, catching him is not going to be easy."

"Then forget about it." Zhang Youfu said:

"It’s not worth wasting time on something like this."

"It’s not about worth, but about what should be done." Lin Yi said:

"No matter what, this is something that belongs to the people in China, can’t let it fall into foreign hands."

"Are you confident?"

"It’s not a big deal, won’t stump me, you just focus on getting better, leave the rest to me." Lin Yi said:

"But since they’ve suffered such a big setback, they probably won’t make a move again soon, giving us some time to investigate this."

Zhang Youfu nodded, not saying anything more, his face full of worry.

"Boss, do you need us to make a trip?" Sui Qiang said.

"Not for now." Lin Yi said:

"I’ve asked Xiao Bing and the others to investigate it, let’s see what the situation is first, no rush."

"Understood."

Lin Yi stayed at the hospital until after eight in the evening, then found a bathhouse to experience the local cultural customs, and the next morning returned comfortably to Shangqing Palace.

According to what Lin Yi said yesterday, the disciples at Shangqing Palace left later, and only returned one after another during the day.

This didn’t have a substantial impact on Shangqing Palace’s revenue.

According to Lin Yi’s plan, this model would last about a week.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, they’d just investigate slowly.

Lying on the rocking chair at Blessed Land Gate, Lin Yi sipped tea, thinking about which bathhouse to visit that evening.

"What’s going on, why are you crying?"

Just when Lin Yi was pondering where to "rescue" fallen ladies, he heard voices from below Blessed Land Gate.

It seemed to be Li Yongnian’s voice.

"It’s nothing, I’m leaving first, I’ll be back in the evening."

Lin Yi got up, looked over towards Blessed Land Gate, and indeed saw Li Yongnian and Zhuang Xiaoyun.

"What happened?" Lin Yi leaned over the railing.

Zhuang Xiaoyun wiped her tears, "Nothing, Uncle."

"Crying like a tearful mess, yet saying it’s nothing." Lin Yi waved, "Come up first."

Since Lin Yi had spoken, Zhuang Xiaoyun dared not hesitate any longer, and under Li Yongnian’s persuasion, went up to Blessed Land Gate.

"Who bullied you?" Lin Yi asked.

"No one."

Zhuang Xiaoyun wiped her tears, her emotions stabilizing a lot.

"If something’s up, just say it, don’t be like a woman dallying around."

"Uh... Uncle, she is actually a woman."

"Don’t mind the details."

"Don’t try to be strong, if there’s something, tell Uncle, he can definitely help you solve it." Li Yongnian said:

"Did someone assault you?"

Lin Yi felt this was unlikely, except for Zhang Youfu, there shouldn’t be anyone who would do such a thing.

"It’s a family matter." Zhuang Xiaoyun said:

"That b*tch wants to transfer all of our family’s money."

Hearing this, Lin Yi and Li Yongnian realized, things might not be so simple.

"Did your dad cheat?" Li Yongnian tentatively asked.

"It’s not cheating." Zhuang Xiaoyun said:

"When I was three, my mom passed away, then he found another woman, who’s been enduring all these years, and now finally her true colors are showing."

Lin Yi rubbed his chin, understanding the gist.

Zhuang Xiaoyun’s family is quite well-off, not extremely wealthy, but they have millions in assets.

Now with the first wife gone, only the stepmother is left.

If she’s a person of good character, then things would be stable and happy, otherwise, major problems could arise.

Just like Zhuang Xiaoyun’s situation now.

Now he finally understood why a girl like Zhuang Xiaoyun, who had beauty and a decent family background, would come to Shangqing Palace.

Truly as the saying goes, if you’re wearing leather pants over cotton pants, there must be a reason.

"Let me get this straight." Li Yongnian said:

"Your stepmother wants to transfer your family’s money, but you’re against it, and this caused a conflict and she threatened you, right?"

Lin Yi also looked at Zhuang Xiaoyun, wanting to know the truth of the matter.

"My dad has always been good to me, so even if she had a hundred guts, she wouldn’t dare threaten me."

"That’s strange, if your dad treats you well, it shows you have a place in his heart, if you clearly explain the situation to him, he shouldn’t let her have her way."

Lin Yi agreed with Li Yongnian’s analysis, waiting for Zhuang Xiaoyun to continue.

"My dad works on electric bike batteries, has his own small factory, but for more than half a year now, business hasn’t been good, that b*tch said we should find a fortune teller to see what’s going on." Zhuang Xiaoyun said:

"Then a few days ago, she brought in a con artist, who said my dad had something unclean on him and it had to be removed to break the curse."

Lin Yi chuckled, an old con-artist trick indeed.

"Did they say how to break it?" Lin Yi asked.

"He said my dad’s money isn’t clean, needs to be transferred out first, then he would set up a ritual, and the money would be transferred back."

"And then? Your dad believed it?"

"My dad is completely obsessed now." Zhuang Xiaoyun said:

"If it weren’t for our family maid calling me, I’d still be in the dark!"
