Chapter 2053: Acc.u.mulate some virtue for your ancestors

“You’re not an outsider, so why make things complicated? Just sleep together.”

“Don’t even think about it,” Ji Qingyan said, clearly agitated.

“We’ve slept together before, what’s there to be embarra.s.sed about?”

“I don’t want to argue with you. Go to sleep quickly, don’t waste my time—I have work tomorrow.”

Ji Qingyan took a blanket out of the wardrobe, laid it on the floor, and turned away, clearly not wanting to engage with Lin Yi any further.

Looking at Ji Qingyan’s stubborn back, Lin Yi smiled faintly.

Although there hadn’t been any significant progress, this was still a good start. He hoped things would continue to improve.

The next morning, Lin Yi woke up early because he received a call from Li Xianghui, asking him to come to the station.

Ji Qingyan also got up at the same time.

She had never been one to sleep in, unlike Liang Ruoxu, who wouldn’t get up unless the sun was high in the sky.

“Why are you up so early? It’s only six o’clock.”

Song Minghui said as she prepared breakfast in the kitchen.

“I have something to do at the station, so I’m heading over early.”

Seeing that Lin Yi had work to do, Song Minghui didn’t say much more.

“I made some fried dough sticks and soy milk. I’ll pack some for you to eat on the way.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yi originally wanted to decline, but since she had already prepared it, he didn’t have the heart to refuse.

Song Minghui packed the soy milk in a thermos and grabbed a few fried dough sticks, then saw him off to his car.

Watching Lin Yi drive away, Ji Qingyan wanted to say something but held it in.

The old Lin Yi used to be a slacker in everything he did. She couldn’t understand why he was suddenly working so hard.

On the way to the police station, Lin Yi finished his breakfast and then arrived at Li Xianghui’s office.

He found that aside from Li Xianghui, no one else was there. It seemed he was the only one who had been called in.

Li Xianghui was dozing on the sofa, with dark circles under his eyes, indicating he hadn’t slept well.

“Brother Li.”

Seeing Lin Yi arrive, Li Xianghui sat up and rubbed his temples. “When did you get here?”

“Just now,” Lin Yi replied.

“What’s the matter? You called me in so early.”

“It’s about Bai Yongshou,” Li Xianghui said.

“We interrogated him all day and night yesterday but couldn’t get anything useful out of him. I figured you might have some ideas, so I called you over.”

“What specific information are you looking for?” Lin Yi asked.

“I remember they both have serious a.s.sault charges on their records, so a conviction shouldn’t be a problem.”

“We’ve got the evidence for that, but their main crime is selling contraband. We want to follow the trail to find the upper-level gang and take them down.”

“I see what you mean.”

Lin Yi yawned. “You woke me up early for this? Go ahead and get some sleep. I’ll go take a look.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Li Xianghui yawned as well, then lay back on the sofa to continue sleeping.

Leaving the office, Lin Yi headed to the interrogation room.

Before long, Bai Yongshou and w.a.n.g Shuguang were brought in.

Seeing that Lin Yi was the one sitting at the head of the table, both of them flinched, but they quickly calmed down.

They were already in this situation, so there was no point in being afraid anymore.

“I think you both know why I’m here, so let’s not waste time. Tell me who your supplier is, and maybe you can get a reduced sentence.”

“Master Lin, do you think there’s any point in saying this now?” Bai Yongshou sneered.

“Given our current situation, getting a reduced sentence is impossible.”

“It’s not that simple. The law is improving, and sentencing has become more lenient. A reduced sentence isn’t impossible; it all depends on how you cooperate.”

“There’s nothing for us to say, nor will we say anything. Don’t waste your energy,” Bai Yongshou said.

“But thank you for the last meal. No wonder everyone on the street calls you Master Lin. I have to say, I respect you.”

“Seems like you’re not planning to talk, huh?”

“There’s no point in talking. If I’m going down, I want to leave a good reputation so that when people on the street talk about me, they’ll give me a thumbs up.”

“Looks like you still don’t understand why people on the street call me Master Lin.”

Lin Yi leaned back in his chair and propped his feet on the table.

“From w.a.n.g Mazi in the beginning to Wei Yihua later on, I took care of them both. Do you really think it was just because of the money I had? Or do you think that because I wear this uniform, everything has to be done by the book and that I can’t do anything to you?”

Bai Yongshou and w.a.n.g Shuguang didn’t respond, but that was exactly what they were thinking.

“You two are smart, knowing that we need the information you have, so you’re trying to stall. This might work on others, but not on me.”

“I’m giving you five minutes to think it over. If you can’t give me a satisfactory answer, I’ll take you away and handle it my way.”

Bai Yongshou looked up at Lin Yi. “What do you mean?”

Lin Yi reached into his pocket and pulled out his ID, showing it to them.

“This is my military ID. If the police can’t handle you, I’ll turn you over to the military. You can imagine what the consequences will be.”

Seeing Lin Yi’s ID, both of their eyes widened. They never expected Lin Yi to have this kind of background.

Cold sweat dripped down Bai Yongshou’s face as he finally understood why Wei Yihua was so afraid of this man—it was because of this hidden ident.i.ty.

“According to the records, you still have an elderly father in your hometown of Yangcheng. I hear he’s living quite well.”

Lin Yi said

“As it happens, my hometown is also Yangcheng. The local boss there is Wu Tianfu. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. If you’re interested, I can give you a chance to call him and ask who I am.”

“You… you even know Wu Tianfu!” Bai Yongshou said in shock.

“That old man lowers his head when he talks to me. What do you think?”

Lin Yi adjusted his posture and looked at Bai Yongshou.

“Your fate is already sealed, but there’s something you need to understand. There are many ways to die. It’s not worth it to hold on to some street code and make your life a living h.e.l.l. Besides, both of you still have close relatives around. I’m not exactly a good guy, so instead of fighting me, why not come clean and do something good for a change?”
