Chapter 2211: Chapter 2212: The Purpose of Lee Yongjin
âDirector Lin, from the beginning until now, you seem distracted. Donât you want to talk to me?â
Lee Yongjin said with a smile.
âThe main issue is that Lingyun Group is in my wifeâs hands. Iâm just an idle pretty face now. The two of you can talk.â
Hearing the resistance in Lin Yiâs tone, Lee Yongjin said without showing any embarrassment:
âIt seems like you still donât want to talk to me. Youâve changed since the old days.â
âBecause from now on, I plan to be a househusband, so for this kind of thing, you should talk to my wife.â
Ji Qingyanâs face turned red with embarrassment. A matter that hadnât even begun was openly discussed, and she felt no embarrassment at all.
As for the matter of cooperation, Lin Yi didnât mind. Making money together wasnât a bad thing.
But before figuring out Lee Yongjinâs intentions, Lin Yi couldnât agree to anything.
âIâll leave you two to talk, Iâm going to the restroom.â
After excusing herself, Ji Qingyan walked toward the restroom, leaving Lin Yi and Lee Yongjin behind.
âTell me, what exactly brought you to China this time? Just be straightforward.â
Lee Yongjin elegantly cut a piece of steak and put it in her mouth.
âPresident Ji and I are old friends. Canât I come to see her and catch up?â
âOf course, you can, but you only have one chance. If you donât speak now, there wonât be any need to discuss it later.â
Lee Yongjin reached for her wine glass; her movement halted mid-air.
Lin Yi felt like an impenetrable wall.
When he decided to take action, he would not leave any room for his opponents.
âThe Freemasons have contacted me recently,â Li Rongzhen spoke gravely.
âThe Freemasons contacted you?â
Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.
âIs it because Lee Yongjin died, and they want you to fill his position?â
âPretty much, but I donât want to deal with them.â
âSo, youâve come to me?â
âNot necessarily to solve the problem, just wanted to talk and get some advice.â
âStop kidding, you are the famous Lee Yongjin. My little smarts arenât enough to help you.â
âIf I actually thought highly of you, I probably wouldnât talk to you in this tone.â
âYou overestimate me. You know what kind of organization the Freemasons are, better than I do. Do you think I have the capacity to stand against them?â
âI didnât really expect you to do anything for me. Their suppression is mostly in business, so I wanted to seek cooperation with Lingyun Group to form a business alliance.â
Lin Yiâs fingers kept tapping on the tabletop rhythmically.
But this sound, on the contrary, started making Lee Yongjin feel nervous as if her fate was in someone elseâs hands.
âI also attended the semiconductor conference in Lundun. Their companies are each more impressive than the last. Do you think bringing me in would be useful?â
âIâve researched Lingyun Groupâs financial statements. You and Mitsui Group have a deep relationship, or should I say, you and Caie Mitsui have a very close relationship. Iâm not wrong, am I?â
âSo, you want me to pull Caie Mitsui in to establish a business alliance with the three of us, right?â
âThatâs about right. We could build factories here in China which would increase employment. If you expect other tangible benefits, it might be difficult.â
âDonât worry, given your age, youâre not really my type anymore.â
Lee Yongjin wore a smiling face.
âIf thatâs the case, then itâs my loss.â
Lin Yi was silent for a few seconds. He wasnât opposed to the cooperation.
Due to his own capabilities, or those of the Central Guards Brigade, it was currently difficult to contend with the Freemasons.
Forming a business alliance with the three of them would also benefit him.
Since Lee Yongjin had lowered her stance, he could consider the cooperation.
âWhat have the Freemasons done to you? Have they used any special means?â
âI found out someone has been following me, but I donât know what they intend to do.â
âSomeone is following you!â
Lin Yiâs expression changed as he remembered the foreign man who was making a phone call outside.
Linking it with Lee Yongjinâs words, these two events seemed to connect.
âNot only in Korea, their people have probably infiltrated China as well.â
âWhat do you mean!â
Lee Yongjin grew nervous, instinctively looking around.
âDo you mean the Freemasonsâ people have followed you here?â
Lin Yi nodded, âYou stay here and eat, Iâll go out and take care of this.â
âShengxi.â
Lee Yongjin called over her bodyguard.
âOur actions have been monitored, go out with Director Lin and take a look.â
âMonitored?â
Sun Shengxi was somewhat skeptical, but she dared not contradict Lee Yongjin and followed Lin Yi outside.
At the hotel entrance, Lin Yi naturally walked up to a car, Sun Shengxi following him.
âAre you sure youâre not mistaken?â
Sun Shengxiâs tone was dubious, clearly not fully trusting Lin Yiâs sharp insight.
As an E-level agent, her physical abilities greatly surpassed those of ordinary people.
Even if someone were tracking them, she would have noticed first.
âWhat if I am wrong? Isnât it better to be cautious?â
Lin Yiâs retort left Sun Shengxi speechless, stifling whatever she planned to say next.
Lin Yi nonchalantly walked back to the car, with no other option but to follow; after all, her boss had instructed her to accompany him.
If they found nothing, she would still need to report back.
Back at the hotel, Lin Yi did not go inside.
Through the rearview mirror, he saw the foreign man who had been making calls earlier still sitting by the flowerbed, occasionally glancing in their direction, then bowing his head to play with his phone.
âDirector Lin, if you donât find anything, Iâm going to go back. Director Li is alone in the restaurant, and I donât feel itâs safe.â
âThen go back.â
After instructing her, Lin Yi turned and walked toward the foreign man.
As Sun Shengxi prepared to return to the restaurant, seeing Lin Yi walking in another direction took her by surprise.
Logically, if he found nothing, he should be returning.
Feeling something amiss, Sun Shengxi decided not to hurry back and followed Lin Yi toward the foreign man.
Noticing the two approaching, the man didnât panic and continued playing with his phone.
Not until Lin Yi stood right in front of him did he raise his head somewhat flustered.
âWhat, what do you want?â
âYouâve been watching for quite some time; it must be tiring. How about joining us inside for something to eat? Lee Yongjin is in there too.â
