Chapter 926 Please Watch the Fireworks

After paying, Lin Yi took the room card and sent Wu Feiyue to his room.

Looking at the luxurious presidential suite, Wu Feiyue felt like he had entered a palace.

This was totally different from the small hotels he was used to staying in.

"Stay here for now. I'm going out to do something. I'll be back later."

"Go ahead, but be careful on the road. Don't stay up too late. Yanjing is so big and unfamiliar. Don't get lost."

"Sure thing."

Lin Yi took his car keys and went out, but when he got out of the elevator, he saw two women walking toward him. He knew one of them.

It was Li Jiani, whom he had teamed up with on the island.

Li Jiani looked like a very charming woman.

She was wearing a pair of snow boots, black tights, and a down jacket that covered her b.u.t.t.

Although his upper body was slightly bloated, her lower body was s.e.xy enough.

However, the person standing beside her was not her sister, but another unfamiliar woman.

The woman's name was Li Jiameng, and she was Li Jiani's older sister.

They had planned to play mahjong with someone here today to pa.s.s the time.

At the same time, Li Jiani also saw Lin Yi. Her expression was very surprised. She had never thought that she would see him here.

"Lin Yi, you're in Yanjing?!"

Lin Yi was very indifferent when it came to Li Jiani. The two of them had nothing to do with each other, so he wasn't afraid of her.

"I came here this morning to deal with something," Lin Yi replied casually and was about to leave.

"He's Lin Yi?" The woman next to Li Jiani asked.

Li Jiani's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure. She had been too careless just now.

"Yes, that's him."

Lin Yi looked at Li Jiani's friend in surprise.

How did she know about him?

Could it be that Li Jiani was in heat and had mentioned him to her best friend?

"Are you busy now? I have something to talk to you about," Li Jiani said.

"About what?"

Li Jiani looked at the woman beside her. "Sis, wait for me here. I'll be right back."

"Okay, go ahead."

Li Jiani pulled Lin Yi aside mysteriously.

"I want to ask you something about that event."

"What do you want to ask about? The bonus?"

"That's not what I want to discuss," Li Jiani said.

"When we were recording the show, you were the first to reach the top, right?"

"Do you think I cheated?"

Although she hadn't interacted with Lin Yi for long, Li Jiani felt that she understood his temperament well enough. It was impossible for him to cheat.

"Well, I want to ask you something. Did you find anything strange at the top of the mountain?"

Lin Yi's expression changed.

It didn't matter if he found anything strange. However, it was strange for her to ask about this.

The only strange thing he encountered was the man in black.

Even so, why did she ask that? Could it be that she knew something?

Or did she know about the existence of the man in black?

"I didn't see anything," Lin Yi said calmly.

"After I climbed to the top of the mountain, the production team arrived. They recorded the end of the show and let me go back."

"Alright, I understand." Li Jiani smiled and said.

"I have an appointment to play mahjong tonight, so I'll leave first. If you aren't leaving tomorrow, can you give me a chance to treat you to a meal?"

"Forget about that idea. I'm going back to Zhonghai tomorrow."

Li Jiani took out a notebook from her bag, wrote her number on it, and handed it to Lin Yi.

"This is my number. Call me when you come to Yanjing in the future. I'll show you around."

"Sure."

In the end, Lin Yi put Li Jiani's note into his pocket and walked out of the hotel leisurely.

Seeing Lin Yi leave the hotel, Li Jiani returned to Li Jiameng's side.

"I told Grandpa about this. Grandpa said he wanted to see him."

"Huh? You're taking things too fast, aren't you?"

Li Jiani facepalmed. She had originally wanted to tell her sister not to tell her family about this, but she did not expect her to spread the news so quickly.

"Grandpa was furious about this. You know he has been trying to meet him but couldn't find him. Now that we have the opportunity, we naturally have to tell him," Li Jiani explained.

"But I already asked him just now, and he knew nothing. He only went there to record the program. We might be overthinking this," Li Jiaying said.

"Who cares if it's complicated or not, we just need to focus on our own task. The rest depends on how Grandpa handles it."

Ring ring ring!

Just as Li Jiameng finished speaking, the phone in her bag rang.

"It's my dad," Li Jiameng said.

"I have a feeling that we won't be able to play mahjong tonight."

Li Jiameng picked up the phone.

"Dad, you wanted to see me."

"Your grandfather asked the two of you to come back. Don't play your game anymore tonight."

"Okay, we'll go back now."

"Yeah."

After hanging up, Li Jiameng looked at Li Jiani helplessly.

"According to what he said, Grandpa asked us to go back. He probably wants to ask about this."

"It's all your fault," Li Jiani grumbled. "If you weren't so quick to open your mouth, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

"Who would have thought that Grandpa would be so anxious?" Li Jiameng complained.

"Let's go back and take a look."

"What other choice do we have?"

...

After leaving the hotel, Lin Yi drove to Liang Ruoxu's house.

Judging from the surrounding environment, Liang Ruoxu's home was not in a luxurious community.

However, because it was located within the Second Ring Road, it stood out from the rest.

Lin Yi met the truck driver at the agreed address.

Then, he followed the location Chen Yan had described to him and found the building corresponding to Liang Ruoxu's house.

In other words, if Liang Ruoxu took out her binoculars, she would be able to see Lin Yi standing outside.

Lin Yi and the truck driver unloaded the goods and arranged them neatly on the ground.

After the truck driver left, Lin Yi called Liang Ruoxu.

It rang a few times before Liang Ruoxu picked it up.

"What are you doing?"

"Your tone is too stiff. Can't you be gentler?"

"Cough, cough, cough. Honourable Mayor Liang, I need you to cooperate with me on something, in case you complain that I don't give you any political achievements again."

"I've already gone home. I'll get my secretary meet you there."

"How can that do? We have to personally meet over this."

"Can you wait a day? I'll be taking a plane back tomorrow."

"Enenen... tomorrow will be too late. I'll look for you."

"Tsk, stop lying to me. Will President Ji let you come here?"

"Look at what you're saying. Where am I, Lin Yi, ever under someone else's control?"

"Alright, stop being cheeky. Hurry up and tell me what it is. I'll help you contact someone to deal with it now."

"It's not a big deal." Lin Yi smiled.

"Isn't it almost the new year? There's a place where people often set off fireworks. I want to take you there."

Liang Ruoxu's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, she couldn't care less if Lin Yi was sincerely inviting her or if Mrs. Ji had stood him up and he was simply using her as a subst.i.tute.

Regardless, it would be beautiful to be able to watch fireworks with him.

"Don't think about it. I'm at home. I can't watch the fireworks with you."

"Don't say that. Stand by the windowsill and look out. You might be able to see the fireworks in Zhonghai."

"Stop trying to fool people. It's more than 1,200 kilometers from Yanjing to Zhonghai. Do you think I'm a clairvoyant..."

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before Liang Ruoxu could finish her sentence, she heard a series of explosions outside.

Immediately after, colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, illuminating the sky of Yanjing.

Dazzling!

Simply eye-catching!
