Chapter 3036: Chapter 3037: A Conversation Between Mother-in-Law and Son-in-Law
On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence.
Finally, there came an arrogant laugh.
"No wonder you are the Merit Team Leader of the Central Guards Brigade; you found me so quickly. I look forward to our next encounter."
With that, Gler hung up the phone voluntarily, and Lin Yi tossed aside Ma Benās phone.
"These men in front of us, their limbs have been broken, and they cannot move. Iāll have this guy Zhu Jinhua take them away," Ning Che said:
"And then let the foreman hurry up and deal with this batch of goods."
Lin Yi nodded, as Ning Cheās arrangement was what he had in mind.
After busying about, it was around eight in the morning before everything was sorted out, and the steel mill was closed.
"Iāll send someone to guard the mine over there."
Ning Che knew the importance of the mine to Lin Yiās overall plan.
If Gler causes trouble again, it will affect Lin Yiās plan.
"Thank you for your hard work," Lin Yi said:
"But thereās no need to make a big fuss; weāre all adults here, and we should keep our dignity."
"I understand what you mean."
"Letās go back first."
Ning Che responded, and the two of them drove back to the hospital.
Upon returning, the state of the three had improved somewhat, giving Lin Yi some peace of mind.
After staying at the hospital for a while, Lin Yi returned to the brigade; he was about to depart and needed to talk with Liu Hong about these matters.
"Poker sent over some more information; take a look,"
Saying this, Liu Hong pushed a thick stack of documents in front of Lin Yi.
The contents were evidently organized.
But there wasnāt much text; most were pictures.
"There are no big issues with our protective gear, right?"
"Youāve got your wife and kids; why worry about these?"
"What if we end up with mutations?"
"Rest assured, there wonāt be any problems in this regard," Liu Hong laughed heartily, and said:
"Poker has done a preliminary investigation; itās only about a few dozen meters distance, the situation inside will be much better."
After speaking, Liu Hong paused and continued:
"Look at the murals on the walls; they might have significant meanings. Pay attention, as they might record very important information."
"But the problem is, we have quite a lot of related materials already, yet it seems difficult to decipher."
"Weāve studied this during the meeting with Elder Liang; there might be a missing link. If it can be found, things will fall into place."
"A missing link?"
"Something like a translation text and the like."
"Thatās a bit far-fetched," Lin Yi said:
"The Tilia Civilization existed thousands of years ago, and even branched into several top civilizations. How could there be translation texts left behind? Even if they were brilliant, they couldnāt predict their own demise and then split into hundreds of different countries."
"True, but have you ever thought that parts of the mysterious Mayan and Atlantean civilizationsā texts have been deciphered by humans?"
"Because the time isnāt as distant," Lin Yi replied:
Compared to the civilization of Tilia Island, "itās not even in the same league."
"But thereās also a theoretical possibility, so itās still worth paying attention; if feasible, record everything inside."
"Alright."
Bamā
Liu Hong casually lit a cigarette and said:
"When are you planning to set off?"
"Tomorrow morning; Iāll check on my wife and kids before leaving."
"Alright, I have nothing here; you can head back first."
Lin Yi nodded, then left the brigade and went to a nearby small supermarket.
He spent 200 yuan buying a case of pure milk and a case of fruit, and went to see Liang Xianghe.
At Liang Xiangheās place, the two chatted for a while.
Mostly unrelated to work, much of it was about everyday life.
He also asked Lin Yi to water his yard.
After spending some time at Liang Xiangheās place, Lin Yi habitually bought some toys for the children before going to see Liang Ruoxu.
As usual, when Lin Yi returned, Liang Ruoxu handed the child to the nanny and went to enjoy some alone time with Lin Yi.
The dinner was had at home; while it wasnāt clearly stated, the Liang family knew Lin Yi was going on a mission the next day.
Shen Shuyi personally made a few dishes, although they were simple, but the meaning was completely different.
That night, the couple did not work on having a second child; instead, they slept peacefully through the night.
This was also the first time since having the child that they slept so soundly.
...
Early the next morning, Shen Shuyi got up early to make breakfast for Lin Yi.
Liang Cunxiao and Liang Ruoxu were still asleep.
But as Lin Yi was grabbing clothes and preparing to leave, he saw Shen Shuyi already cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
The scene was slightly awkward.
"No need to hide; how come youāre so shy at your age?"
Lin Yi chuckled, but still found a corner to put on his clothes.
"Iāve heard this mission might be dangerous," Shen Shuyi remarked:
"Apparently youāre heading to open up a new area."
"Yes," Lin Yi nodded.
"What are your thoughts on the Central Guard Brigade?"
While drinking porridge, Lin Yi glanced at Shen Shuyi, "Mom, do you have something specific to say?"
"Itās not as complicated as you think; I just want to hear your thoughts."
"I actually havenāt thought much about it; living day by day, like a monk striking the temple bell."
"And about your fatherās matter, what do you think?"
"What do I think?" Lin Yi responded:
"Havenāt thought much about it, and find it rather boring."
"Boring?"
Shen Shuyiās lips revealed a barely noticeable smile.
"If thatās how you feel, I donāt have more to ask."
"Mom, youāre not worried Iāll spend all my time on the island, are you?"
"Not really concerned; youāre not as pure-minded as your dad; the bustling city life appeals more to you."
"Mom, what you said hurts my heart," Lin Yi teased, "Iām an upright person."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said:
"Both you and I are just cogs in this machine; anyone could replace us. Even if thereās no suitable cog to fill the gap, this machine wonāt fall apart. Even should you become the Merit Team Leader of the Central Guards Brigade, youāre still just one of many in this world."
Lin Yi chuckled, "Mom, donāt worry. Iām very clear about my place."
"Youāre smart enough to understand without me saying it clearly," Shen Shuyi said:
"Without anyone on Earth, it would still rotate, and the sun would rise just the same, so one must know their limits."
"I understand; if the situation isnāt right, Iāll withdraw without recklessly charging ahead."
"Alright, eat quickly. Donāt be late."
"Got it."
After finishing his meal, Lin Yi headed to the military airport, embarking on another journey to the island.
