Huaijun ended the call, rinsed his face with water, and rushed to the police station….
However, Huaijun going to the police station wouldn't be much of a help. Knowing her last signal's location didn't really give them a guess on where Lingshan was located now. The trash left behind in the abandoned factory wasn't worthy enough to be used as evidence!
The criminals were way too organized and cunning. They had no openings at all. The police couldn't do anything now since they had lost connection with Lingshan.
Although Huaijun was restless, he had no choice! They could only wait for the criminals to contact them now. The enemies seemed to have notice Lingshan's real ident.i.ty, but they still kidnapped her to their base anyway. Their objective was pretty obvious here. They were trying to threaten the police team and threaten them using their captain as a hostage in their base.
Despite all that, the police team still had to be patient in waiting for their enemies' call.
"This lil Song was in so much trouble. She just couldn't stop making people worry about her?" Huaijun rubbed his eyes. He was discussing the case with the entire team for the whole night so he was extremely exhausted now.
But, compared to his previous body condition, he was so much better after consuming Lin Yi's medicine. The effects were starting to become obvious. He couldn't stand staying up late before, but he was fine now. Other than tiredness, he didn't feel any discomfort at all! Of course, being worn-out after an entire sleepless night was normal. Even a normal and healthy person who didn't get rest would feel uncomfortable.
Lin Yi? Speaking of Lin Yi, he might have some ideas, wouldn't he? Perhaps only Lin Yi was capable of finding Lingshan now, wasn't he? The problem was whether would he offer his help or choose not to interfere.
Huaijun smiled bitterly. It seemed Lin Yi was needed again. After a short hesitation, he took out his phone and called Lin Yi.
"h.e.l.lo, lil Yi?" Huaijun felt wrong every time he called Lin Yi "Lil Yi" because he used to call him "eagle" or "captain". Lil Yi this name was just too strange for him.
"Jun bro, yeah?" Lin Yi went to the hospital to pick Tang Yin up. He received Huaijun's phone call when he was about to start the engine.
"Lil Song is probably captured by the kidney trafficking organization," Huaijun went straight to the point.
"Oh, it's normal for the tigress-like girl to be caught." Lin Yi didn't find this news surprising. He would have found it odd if Lingshan didn't encounter any problems. If he knew that Lingshan would be so stubborn and aggressive, he wouldn't have tipped her off with any information.
"She's a little aggressive, indeed, but y'know young people…." Huaijun smiled wryly, "So things started off like this, she got some reliable tip-off from someone, knowing the exact location of the next target, and..."
"Oh, I knew about that, I was the one who told her about the village." Lin Yi interrupted Huaijun, "Did she try to be a hero, infiltrate the enemy's base alone, and get caught by enemy?"
"You…. you guess it all by yourself?" Huaijun was astonished. He didn't think that Lin Yi would be involved with this case. As far as he was concerned, Lin Yi and Lingshan seemed to be very close in some ways. They even had a unique relations.h.i.+p, hadn't they? Lin Yi probably wouldn't reject saving her now, would he?
"It's simple." Lin Yi smiled. Lingshan acting like this wasn't something out of the blue to him, "So why are you looking for me?"
"Can you perhaps help us in finding her or even better, rescuing her?" with Huaijun's and Lin Yi's current relations.h.i.+p, Huaijun got directly to the point.
"I'll try." Lin Yi had a headache. This Lingshan was really a troublemaker. His hands were already always occupied with the girls, and here came another troublemaker. Just how busy could he be? He had wanted to turn down the request but since it was Huaijun who requested it, he couldn't reject him, could he? In fact, he didn't have any reasons to decline.
"Thanks," Huaijun replied. He was relieved that Lin Yi promised to offer his help. Now that Lin Yi had agreed to help, there wasn't anything to be worried about anymore. Lin Yi was a man with honor. He wouldn't go back against his words and would always strive for his best in achieving the goals.
"Ha, okay I got to go, I'll think about it." Lin Yi didn't say much as he ended the call.
Now that his mission was to identify Lingshan's location and save her out from danger, Lin Yi had no choice but to start getting information from Jianwen, had he? Jianwen cutting people's kidney didn't really concern him at all. In fact, if he caught Jianwen cutting people's kidney red-handed, he was certain that he wouldn't give two s.h.i.+ts about it.
However, things got complicated now. Lingshan was involved and while he didn't like Jianwen very much, he had decided to eradicate Jianwen for good since the Miss hated him too.
"What's wrong? Is everything fine?" Tang Yin who was just beside of Lin Yi heard the exchange, but she was puzzled and just asked out of concern.
"It's nothing. My friend was asking me to look for his lost friend." Lin Yi explained. "Just ignore it. Show me your forehead."
"It's almost fully recovered…." Tang Yin blushed, lowered her head, and hid her eyes from looking into Lin Yi's eyes directly.
"Ha, not bad. Luckily there's no trace of a scar at all. You are still as pretty as ever."Â Lin Yi was satisfied with his own product.
"So what if I have scars on my forehead. Would you still want me?" Tang Yin wanted to know the answer to this question.
"You are taking this matter too seriously. Even if you have scars, I can still remove it," Lin Yi said.
"Oh…." Tang Yin was a little disappointed. She couldn't get the answer she wanted. She was unsure of Lin Yi's feelings towards her. Was he in love with her because of her face? Or was it because of something else? She didn't know and that question was bugging inside her. It didn't feel good in the slightest.
However, Lin Yi was being Lin Yi again. He didn't notice the disappointment in Tang Yin's face.
"Right, how's the relocation project in the slums going?" Lin Yi asked.
"It stopped working temporarily. Liu Xinwen said that there's no news just yet. Many people in the slums are still observing…." Tang Yin couldn't help but smile, "They thought that the Qibing skysc.r.a.per was leveled because of the quality, so most of them have lost faith in them and refused to sell their house even if Qibing industries were to trade them with a brand new building."
"Haha, okay let's put them aside then." Lin Yi was disinterested with the relocation project and Qibing's action but when Qing returned with his relocation project, he would gladly come back and pay him a visit.
"Why didn't you go to school with your employer?" Tang Yin's was still defensive against the Misses.
"They've got people sending them there," Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh, then when are you going to end this job of yours?" Tang Yin asked.
"I don't know, I've to wait for my old man's answer," Lin Yi shook his head. "Why does it feel like you are against them?"
"No, I'm not!" Tang Yin said adamantly.
After reaching the school, they walked into the school together and parted in front of cla.s.s nine. Most of the people in the school were aware of their relations.h.i.+p so Tang Yin didn't find the need to hide the fact it from the crowd. Instead, now that Mengyao and Yushu were officially joining the game, Tang Yin thought that she had to gear up and put on a better performance.
Her instincts told her that things weren't as simple as Lin Yi described. Although Lin Yi said that they were just his employers, Tang Yin was certain that the Misses' att.i.tude and reaction that night were out of place. It wasn't just an employer's and employee's relations.h.i.+p there!
