Chapter 2045: Only Master Lin Can Help You
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yan Ci’s eyes sparkled with a smile.
“How did you know I had other intentions?”
As she spoke, Yan Ci slipped down one side of her shoulder strap, her desires showing through her gaze, threatening to makes one’s imagination go wild.
“I’ll remember what you said today. Once I’ve recovered from my injury, we’re going to have a three-hundred-round battle and settle this.”
“Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you,” Yan Ci said with a laugh.
“But I really have to thank you for today. I didn’t expect them to make such a request, wanting to come to your house for dinner.”
Yan Ci felt a bit embarrassed, not just because they made an unreasonable request.
But also because her relatives kept trying to show off in front of Lin Yi, embarrassing her.
“With something like this, of course, I’d make sure you kept your dignity,” Lin Yi said casually.
“So let’s not talk about it anymore—it’s no big deal.”
“But the day after tomorrow, I might need your help again. My aunt wants to meet with Chen Teng’s parents before she leaves. I was going to decline on your behalf, but before I could even open my mouth, my aunt insisted you come, saying you’re capable, have a broad perspective, and are a good judge of character. She didn’t even give me a chance to refuse.”
“We already discussed this—it’s no big deal. Just give me a call beforehand.”
Mua...
In the video, Yan Ci blew Lin Yi a kiss.
“I’ll trouble you one last time the day after tomorrow, and then I won’t need to bother you anymore. After I send them off, I’ll make sure to properly repay you.”
“I’m happy to hear you say that.”
Yan Ci playfully tilted her head, “Hmph, you’re such a rascal.”
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up. Afterward, Lin Yi spent some time talking with Liang Ruoxu and Wang Ying before washing up and going to bed.
...
Yaojia Village was located at the border between Zhonghai and Yuhang City.
It was an obscure little village with about twenty households, mostly occupied by elderly residents and left-behind children.
Their daily sustenance came from the crops they grew in the fields.
When the harvest was good, they could eat a bit more, but if there were floods or hailstorms, they might not even have enough to eat and would have to rely on government aid to get by.
“Are you telling me you can’t even help me find a boat to escape?”
“I know what you’re thinking—you want to sneak out of the country,” Wei Yihua said.
“But I’ve retired from that kind of business for a long time. I’m not involved anymore, so I can’t help you with it. I’m sorry.”
“Master Wei, we’ve known each other for over ten years. Can’t you at least help me think of something? You could put me in touch with another intermediary. I’m willing to pay any amount, and I’ll make sure whoever helps me is well compensated.”
Wei Yihua was silent on the other end of the line for a moment.
“I can’t help you, but there’s someone in Zhonghai who can.”
“Who?” Bai Yongshou asked eagerly.
“Master Lin,” Wei Yihua said.
“He’s got deep connections in Zhonghai. I can’t guarantee that he can save you from this situation, but it shouldn’t be a problem for him to get you out of the country.”
“Master Lin!”
Wei Yihua’s words seemed to give Bai Yongshou a glimmer of hope.
“I know what to do now. Thank you, Master Wei. Once I get through this, I’ll come to see you and drink a few toasts in your honor.”
“Let’s not talk about that now. Focus on handling your situation first.”
“Alright!”
After hanging up with Wei Yihua, Bai Yongshou immediately dialed Lin Yi’s number.
But he called twice and got no answer.
“Boss Bai, it’s already past 2 AM. Master Lin is probably asleep. Let’s just stay hidden here for the night and try calling him in the morning. He’s our only hope, so let’s not risk annoying him.”
Bai Yongshou nodded, agreeing that Wang Shuguang made sense, so he decided not to call again.
...
The next morning, just after 7 AM, Lin Yi woke up as usual. He noticed two missed calls from an unknown number on his phone.
Lin Yi glanced at them, didn’t think much of it, and marked them as spam.
But as he was washing up, his phone rang again. It was the same unknown number.
Lin Yi didn’t give it much thought and answered the call.
“Master Lin, it’s Bai Yongshou.”
