Chapter 2942: Chapter 2942: Leave Request Denied

"No, no more..."

Yan Ci’s slap left everyone present stunned.

Nobody expected this elegant woman to be so domineering.

Lin Yi pursed his lips and muttered to himself:

"Indeed, only magic can defeat magic."

The two girls were frozen in place, clearly intimidated and unable to move.

In terms of aura, they were completely overshadowed by Yan Ci.

Young girls could never be a match for a mature woman.

"Let’s go, it’s done."

Yan Ci said with a smile.

"You follow behind, I need to head back with the team."

"Alright."

The group each got into their cars and headed towards the team.

Meanwhile, the scene was still a mess, but these matters would be handled by the relevant staff, and Lin Yi and his group didn’t need to take care of them.

The surrounding crowd hadn’t completely dispersed yet, eagerly gossiping about the events.

But not far away, a black car had been stationary from the fire outbreak to its end.

Sitting inside was a short-haired man, his gaze silently fixed on the situation.

Only after Lin Yi’s group left did he drive away.

"Lin Yi, was that woman your wife?" Liu Qingfeng asked.

"Would you believe me if I said she was a friend?"

"How could I believe that, not an ordinary friend, right?"

"Haha, guess for yourself."

"Haha, you’re quite sneaky, aren’t you?"

With laughter and chatter, the group returned to the team.

Lin Yi tidied up briefly and then went out to meet Yan Ci.

But he found her looking rather displeased.

"What’s up, why did you come over?"

"I saw someone posted a video, and it was about your team, so I figured you must be here and came to check on you." Yan Ci looked at Lin Yi and said:

"Are you crazy, rushing into a fire like that? Are you tired of living, or do you think you’re Superman?"

Only then did Lin Yi understand why Yan Ci had directly slapped the two girls.

Turns out she’d been holding in a lot of anger.

"But this is my job," Lin Yi replied:

"If those things weren’t taken out and exploded, the whole building might collapse."

"Get someone else to do it then; there are so many people in the team, why should you, a rookie, be the one to rush in?"

"Isn’t it because I’m slightly more capable?" Lin Yi said with a grin, "Those who can should do more work."

"The more you talk, the angrier I get."

Yan Ci pinched Lin Yi’s waist, "Old folks say the skilled ones drown, the stubborn ones get beaten, and the capable ones die from their own cleverness. You should be more careful."

Lin Yi chuckled and said, "That’s just how things are, people have to trust their fate."

"I really don’t know what to say to you," Yan Ci rolled her eyes, clearly still upset.

"Alright, calm down." Lin Yi patted Yan Ci’s head and said:

"It’s all small stuff; I know my limits; I’d never gamble my life away."

Sitting in the car for a while, Lin Yi checked the time.

"You haven’t eaten yet, right?"

"Not eating, I’m fed up with anger."

"Whether you eat or not, I need to eat; I’m starving."

With that, Lin Yi got out of the car on his own, and Yan Ci had no choice but to follow.

Due to excessive physical exertion, Lin Yi ate three bowls and finished Yan Ci’s leftovers too.

"Alright, I have to work the night shift, so you’ll head back too, right?" Lin Yi said as they went out.

"Remember to be careful in the future; you have a daughter and a son, you know."

"Understood."

Lin Yi patted Yan Ci’s back, "Take care, drive safely."

"Got it."

After giving Lin Yi a few reminders, Yan Ci drove away.

Lin Yi returned to continue his shift; a thrilling but safe day was drawing to a close.

In the next half month, they didn’t encounter any major disasters, but bizarre incidents kept cropping up.

Previously he’d seen quite a few on short videos, but experiencing them personally, he found reality was even more absurd.

It was like absurdity’s mother opened the door to absurdity, and absurdity was home.

This left Lin Yi doubting if these people’s intelligence was problematic.

Next for Lin Yi was the second island mission.

For Lin Yi, requesting leave became an issue.

Due to the special nature of his work, it’s not easy to just walk away.

"Brother Fei, I’d like to request leave."

"How many days?"

"About a month."

"Huh? Why such a long leave?"

"My parents are ill; I need to go home and visit."

Ding Fei looked a bit troubled and said:

"That’s too long; I can’t make that decision. You should speak with the instructor."

"Got it."

Lin Yi nodded and took some free time to buy two cartons of cigarettes, then went to the administrative building, heading to Ma Xiangqiang’s office.

"You, kid, what are you up to?"

Seeing Lin Yi walk in with cigarettes, the astute Ma Xiangqiang immediately knew something was up.

"Nothing much, just wanted to check in on you."

"Cut the crap, just say what’s on your mind."

"I want to request leave."

"I thought it was something major," Ma Xiangqiang said:

"Just talk to Ding Fei, sort out the daily tasks, that’s all."

"But I want a month off; he said he couldn’t decide and told me to see you."

"I knew it wasn’t anything good," Ma Xiangqiang said:

"What’s going on that requires such a long leave?"

"My parents are not well, hospitalized; I need to visit."

"Don’t you have siblings?"

"No, I’m an only child, single seed for three generations."

"Stop bluffing; I know your situation; you’re married, and your wife can take care of your parents." Ma Xiangqian said:

"But you’ve performed excellently lately, if I give you no leave at all, it’d be a bit unfair; one week, no more."

Though one week’s leave was already quite decent, it still wasn’t enough for Lin Yi.

After all, island missions typically take at least a month.

"But my wife also has parents and can’t spare the time."

"What do you mean? Do both sets of parents have health issues?"

"Emmm..."

Lin Yi paused, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law aren’t well and need care, and my dad has cancer; I want to see him one last time, otherwise, I might regret it later."

Lin Jingzhan: ???

"Stop lying; clearly you’re going out to fool around; just one week’s leave, take it or leave it."

"But seriously, a week’s not enough."

"If not, figure it out yourself," Ma Xiangqian said:

"And your cigarettes, I won’t take them, don’t make me break the rules."

"It’s not much money; just keep them for now..."

Ring, ring, ring—

At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was Liu Hong calling.

"Is everything sorted on your end?"

"Couldn’t get the leave, not allowed to leave."

"Who stopped you?"

"Our instructor."

"Give him the phone; I’ll talk to him personally."
