Chapter 2191: Chapter 2192: A Shocking Reward

Huang Sihai and the others were collectively stunned.

The scene before their eyes felt like a dream.

With Qi Yongchun’s status, how could he possibly appear here in this state?

Just then, another large group of people showed up.

Huang Sihai recognized at a glance the man leading them: He Jiaxing.

As a member of the Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce and a renowned entrepreneur, he naturally knew who He Jiaxing was.

However, he had never imagined that he would appear here.

“Qi…”

“Don’t say anything…”

Qi Yongchun interrupted Huang Sihai and then was taken to a separate cell.

Huang Sihai and the others stood there dumbfounded, wondering what had happened.

At the same time, He Jiaxing glanced at them and said to the people with him:

“Arrest these people!”

Huang Sihai and the others panicked. “We haven’t done anything, why are you arresting us!”

“At this point, there’s no use in arguing. Do you think I would personally handle this matter if there wasn’t evidence against you? Do I really need to spell out what you six have specifically done?”

Huang Sihai turned pale, feeling as if his heart might leap out of his throat.

It was like a mountain pressing down on his head, making any resistance futile.

“And it’s not just the six of you; I’ve also sent people to arrest the other six involved. Moreover, your Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce is a primary target in this purge operation. Stop talking back and cooperate fully with our work, or it will be worse for you.”

Before the six people could react, a dozen uniformed individuals rushed forward and subdued them all.

Meanwhile, someone opened the door to the cell, and He Jiaxing walked in, signaling for Lin Yi’s handcuffs to be unlocked.

“Major Lin, you’ve had quite a tough time.”

Hearing He Jiaxing address Lin Yi, Huang Sihai and the others nearly collapsed, feeling as if they were experiencing auditory hallucinations.

“You, you are actually…”

“Still not clear about my identity at this point? Your information-gathering ability is remarkably poor,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Moreover, even if you didn’t know about my military identity, my Lingyun Group is one of the top businesses in the country. You are all in the business world, yet you can’t recognize me? Have you been living as dogs?”

“You, you really are Director Lin of Lingyun Group?”

“If you had realized this sooner, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble. But now, it’s too late.”

The expressions of the six people crumbled, and the only woman among them shouted loudly:

“Director Lin, please give me another chance. I realize my mistake now and won’t dare to do such a thing again.”

“We’re all adults here. Actions must be taken with consequences in mind. Besides, when you were posturing earlier, you didn’t seem so sincere. So, let’s not talk about this anymore—take them away.”

“Yes!”

Huang Sihai and the others were taken away, and He Jiaxing escorted Lin Yi out.

“Did Liang Ruoxu send you?”

He Jiaxing nodded with a smile. “Elder Lu and Mr. Yang also called me. We really mishandled this situation; we will deal with it strictly.”

Lin Yi grinned. “With you handling this matter, nothing could go wrong.”

“You jest. It was my negligence. I will certainly find a way to make amends.”

“I don’t understand these matters too well; you handle it.”

“Of course.”

The two exchanged a few polite words without delving further into the topic.

Lin Yi knew when to stop; with Liang Xianghe already speaking up, there was no need for him to worry about the follow-up.

He Jiaxing was ready to escort Lin Yi out, but he declined, opting to take a taxi back to the Ritz-Carlton on his own.

And now it was past three in the morning.

The sky was beginning to lighten up, the darkness chased away by the dawn.

No matter how heavy the gloom, the wind would eventually disperse it.

Lin Yi stretched lazily, feeling that the night’s events were somewhat magical.

He had thought that it would take a few days of investigation in Pengcheng to clear everything up.

Unexpectedly, in just one evening, these people were put behind bars, putting a perfect end to the case. The thought was quite unbelievable.

[Job completion reward: 150,000 Master level driving skills.]

[Job completion rate: 65%, Carbon-based Chip Design Blueprint.]

“Holy shit!”

Hearing the system’s notification in his mind, Lin Yi couldn’t help but curse.

Firstly, he hadn’t expected to complete the system task at this time.

Secondly, he hadn’t anticipated that the system would award him such a special prize.

Soon, Lin Yi calmed down, because he realized something.

When he accessed the system panel, he found that the task he had completed was not the one called “Redemption.”

Instead, it was a previously untriggered hidden task named “Dawn’s Hope.”

In some sense, this task resonated with the case he had just dealt with.

Yet, it had nothing to do with the Redemption case, which surprised Lin Yi greatly.

He had been busy for such a long time, and it turned out he wasn’t working on that task, which annoyed him strangely.

However, the mild irritation was quickly suppressed.

Because the system’s reward was exceedingly special.

“System, are you joking? Are you actually rewarding me with a Carbon-based Chip’s design blueprint?”

[The Carbon-based Chip’s design blueprint is indeed the reward for the hidden task. Please rest assured and accept it without reserve.]

“Accepted.”

Lin Yi thought silently to himself.

Shortly after, his phone rang with an anonymous email.

Inside were dozens of folders, all about the research and application of Carbon-based Chips.

Lin Yi, who was only a beginner in this area and didn’t know much, planned to take the time to hand these over to Shen Tianzhuo for processing.

Lin Yi had a premonition that once this research was completed, Lingyun Group would truly become a world-class enterprise.

Even in the semiconductor industry, the company would have an absolute say, impervious to any attacks from the rest of the world.

But soon, Lin Yi’s excitement came to an abrupt halt as if time froze.

Because he thought of another terrifying possibility.

“System, there’s something I want to ask you.”

[Please, host, go ahead.]

“You once mentioned that you came from an ancient civilization on Tilia Island. And now, you’ve given me these items as a reward. Could it be that this technology was once possessed by that ancient civilization?”

Lin Yi’s heart thumped wildly as he awaited the system’s response.

[Yes.]
