Chapter 3759: Chapter 3750: A Heroic Figure
Upon learning the visitor’s identity and purpose, Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu exchanged a glance.
This situation was something they had not anticipated, not even imagined would happen to them.
Liang Ruoxu’s expression was stern, looking at Hou Guangqi with a harsh gaze.
"Are you sure you want to take him back for investigation?"
"Yes, that’s the order from above. We’re just following instructions."
Hou Guangqi understood very well the weight of the man and woman in front of him.
One has a strong family background, steadily ranked in the top five nationwide.
The other has remarkable merits, with not fewer than ten First-class Merits.
Neither of these two is someone he has the authority to investigate.
Moreover, they are in a marital relationship, bound together, with immense power.
Trying to investigate them is akin to moving a mountain.
"Director Liang, this is our investigation order. We’re just following orders from below, don’t make things difficult for us."
Hou Guangqi’s attitude was good, his facial expression was gentle, and his goal was singular: resolve the matter as peacefully as possible.
Liang Ruoxu said nothing, picked up the inspection order on the table, and saw three department seals and signatures of the heads.
It was clear there was a firm intention to take Lin Yi back for investigation.
Lin Yi stood up, picked up the inspection order, and couldn’t help but laugh.
"How highly they think of me, with signatures from the heads of three departments, the display is quite grand."
"You’re the Merit Team Leader of the Central Guards Brigade, with illustrious battle achievements, a heroic figure deserving such reception."
"Enough with the empty praises." Lin Yi said:
"If they want to take me back for investigation, there must be a reason, at least let me prepare mentally."
Hou Guangqi’s eyes shifted, he glanced back and noticed the door was closed, his expression relaxed slightly.
"The reason is collusion with overseas organizations."
"Overseas organizations?!"
Lin Yi’s expression became serious, seeming to understand something.
His father is now the world’s greatest bandit leader; if someone is digging up this issue, they will certainly find evidence.
Looking at it this way, someone is definitely stirring the pot.
The most likely culprits are the Chen family.
Lin Yi’s brows furrowed.
What worried him most was not just this matter.
For a long time, his elder has had ties with Poker, if the Chen family meddles in this area, it could also affect the elder.
Lin Yi held his forehead, rubbed his temples.
Although this matter won’t personally harm him, there will be repercussions.
The long-feared event has finally happened.
Ring ring ring—
Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang, he saw the call was from Liang Xianghe.
"Grandfather." Lin Yi answered the call.
"Did someone come looking for you?"
Lin Yi glanced at Hou Guangqi.
"Yes, they did."
"They should have told you the reason for the investigation, right?"
"They did."
"Then I won’t say anything else, proceed according to the normal procedures. Be cautious with your words but don’t be nervous. It’s all minor matters that won’t have substantial consequences."
Lin Yi laughed.
"There’s nothing to be nervous about with these kinds of things."
"Hm."
After brief communication, Lin Yi hung up the phone, then went to Liang Ruoxu.
"I’ll go with them for a while, you focus on your work, I’ll be back shortly."
Liang Ruoxu nodded without a word.
With signatures from three big figures trying to bring Lin Yi in for a talk, even if his grandfather came, he couldn’t stop it.
But Liang Ruoxu’s heart was angry; Lin Yi has been through life and death for so many years, and now someone has set him up.
"You better think about how to handle the aftermath, or this matter won’t be settled easily."
Facing Liang Ruoxu’s threat, Hou Guangqi was very nervous, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Director Liang, I’m just following orders, I have no choice."
Hou Guangqi was tasting bitterness he couldn’t express.
These decisions were made above.
If the Liang family holds him responsible for this matter, it wouldn’t be beneficial for his future development at all.
"I don’t want to hear this; anyway, you figure things out."
"This..."
"Alright, say no more."
Lin Yi smiled at Hou Guangqi, "Don’t listen to her, let’s proceed according to normal procedures, let’s go."
"Hm."
Lin Yi followed Hou Guangqi outside and got into the waiting car.
"First time dealing with you all, do you need me to wear handcuffs or anything?"
"Oh, Team Leader Lin is joking. We only use handcuffs in special circumstances."
"My situation is special too, isn’t it?"
"No, not at all. Even if our leaders came, they wouldn’t dare put handcuffs on you," Hou Guangqi joked:
"To quote a popular saying, you need to have a clear understanding of your identity."
Lin Yi laughed, "That’s not the way to speak; public matters and private matters shouldn’t be confused."
"You’re right, but you are the Merit Team Leader of the Central Guards Brigade; a hero shouldn’t be greeted with hostility."
Speaking, Hou Guangqi took out a bottle of water from the car, "Team Leader Lin, would you like some water?"
"No thanks, no need to be too polite."
Lin Yi closed his eyes, not fearing the upcoming situation.
But how to deal with the Chen family is the big issue.
Being tripped by them, they must lose a layer of skin!
Throughout the journey, Lin Yi didn’t speak; about an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Many people didn’t recognize Lin Yi, but upon seeing him enter, they couldn’t help but look at him a few more times.
Anyone for whom Hou Guangqi personally fetched must be extraordinary.
"Who is this person that Director Hou personally went to apprehend?"
"That’s nothing; I heard Boss He is also personally attending the interrogation."
"No way, so young and receiving such treatment? What grave matter must he have committed?"
"Who knows, but since Boss He himself is going to appear, it must be no small matter, and this man certainly isn’t ordinary."
"That’s for sure, but speaking of which, this man is really handsome."
"Haha, you love-struck romantic."
Under the gazes of many, Lin Yi was taken to the second floor.
Because of Lin Yi’s special status, they didn’t follow the normal procedure to an interrogation room but went to a luxurious meeting room.
The one in charge of questioning was named He Wandong, the deputy head of the inspection department.
Around fifty years old, wearing an administrative jacket and black pants, he exuded sophistication.
"Team Leader Lin, this is our leader."
Lin Yi stood up and shook hands with the other.
"I’ve heard about you from others before, now I finally see you in person. It’s just a pity it’s through this kind of meeting."
