Chapter 2403: Chapter 2400-secretly reaching a deal

“Of course you can.” Lin Yi didn’t expect boss Zhu to agree right away-that wasn’t realistic! He’d be suspicious if the guy agreed right away-he didn’t believe he had the aura of a King to make elder Zhu submit to him!

Wu Chengtian, the Hidden House han, and the Hidden House Pi all had special conditions for submitting, and boss Zhu submitted after just one conversation? It was not realistic.

“Phew …” Elder Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, and said gratefully,””Thank you …”

“What’s up with Chen Xi?” Lin Yi asked.

“Chen Xi is the young master’s illegitimate daughter … I’m the person the young master arranged to be by her side … That’s all I can say. I can’t say anything else for now. I hope you can understand and don’t force me.” Said elder Zhu.

Lin Yi would get some information from mother Chen after the incident, so he didn’t hide it from her.

“Oh?” Lin Yi blinked-Chen Xi was Zhao Guangyin’s illegitimate daughter? This Zhao Guangyin was quite the troublemaker when he was young-it wasn’t enough that he had Zhao Qibing, now he had an illegitimate daughter? But what surprised Lin Yi was that the Miss of house Zhao was going to pick up trash?

“House Zhao values boys over girls very much, and there’s a clear distinction between the sons of the first wife and the bastard …” Elder Zhu saw Lin Yi’s confusion and explained.

“So that’s how it is.” Lin Yi nodded-this made sense now, and it was probably why qikun wasn’t being taken seriously! Zhao Qibing was the son of the young master, Zhao Guangyin-no matter what, it would be his son who would be the heir, not Zhao qikun! He thought of qikun, “How’s qikun doing?”

“Zhao qikun, at the Hidden House Summit, he wanted to call Mister Lin to tell him that Zhao Qibing’s car was modified, but he was caught red-handed and is now under house arrest,” Elder Zhu didn’t hide anything-these things weren’t too important, and qikun would tell Lin Yi about it when the sky elixir sect’s test started.

“They’re keeping qikun under house arrest …” Lin Yi was shocked. He didn’t think that qikun was being locked up because of him! It seemed like qikun really did acknowledge him as his boss, otherwise he wouldn’t be acting like this-this surprised Lin Yi!

But now that he knew the truth, he couldn’t just leave qikun like that-he was locked up because of him, and he probably “got” involved in the sky elixir sect test as well. It seemed like house Zhao wanted to use this to get rid of him.

“Mister Lin, I can’t do anything about this. I can’t interfere with the Zhao family’s business.” Elder Zhu explained with a bitter smile, thinking that Lin Yi wanted his help.

“No need, just pass him a message, tell him to go and participate in the trial in peace, I’ll take care of everything!” Lin Yi said.

“This is easy.” Boss Zhu nodded. He could do this.

“Don’t talk about the Hidden House Pi anymore when we get back-they’re all dead anyway, dead people can’t say anything. ” “It’s up to you to make up whatever story you want,”Lin Yi said faintly.

“Alright,” he said. Boss Zhu sighed. He didn’t say anything yet, but he was already on Lin Yi’s boat! But what could he do if he didn’t agree? If Lin Yi wanted to kill him and uncle Zhu, he could do it with a wave of his hand. No one could save him, so he had no choice but to do it.

“Chen Xi, I’ll leave her to you. I don’t want anything to happen to her.” Lin Yi said with an undeniable tone.”If something happens again, you’ll be in trouble too.”

“I understand!” Elder Zhu said.

“Alright, since you’re here, you can take Chen Xi back.” Lin Yi wasn’t worried anymore after giving the orders,”You know what to do, right?”

“I know,” Elder Zhu nodded helplessly.

After getting off the car with boss Zhu, Lin Yi returned to the villa to see Chen Xi sitting on the sofa alone. She wasn’t watching TV or magazines, just sitting there like an idiot.

It wasn’t that Chen Xi didn’t want to, but suddenly staying in such a big and luxurious villa made her a little uncomfortable and restrained. She didn’t dare to touch the things in the villa.

“Chen Xi, since your Grandpa Zhu is here to pick you up, you should go back with him. I won’t be seeing you out.” Lin Yi said.

“Ah … Okay …” Chen Xi was a little disappointed. She actually hoped that Lin Yi would send her back so that she could spend more time with him, but she didn’t dare to say it out loud. She could only nod.

“Study hard when you get back, and stop picking up trash. If you don’t have money, go ask Ying Ziyu for it.” Lin Yi didn’t want Chen Xi to be distracted by these things.

“En …” Ziyu replied, but she wouldn’t do that.

Lin Yi didn’t have a choice-Chen Xi and Ziyu were good friends, but she wouldn’t use Ziyu’s money.

After sending off Chen Xi and boss Zhu, Lin Yi saw that it was still early and was about to ask Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu what was the matter, but he didn’t expect to receive a call from song Lingshan!

“Silly girl, you called at the right time.” Lin Yi had just finished his work when song Lingshan called.

“Why are you calling me silly girl again?” Lingshan felt a sense of familiarity when she heard the name-it’d been a while since Lin Yi called her that, and she had a good impression of it.

“Ah … I suddenly remembered, so I called out.” Lin Yi recalled the time when he first met Lingshan, and he felt emotional. In the blink of an eye, they’d all come to Donghai city from Songshan.

“You missed me?” Lingshan’s voice was getting a little sweet.

“A little.” Lin Yi didn’t deny it-it’d been a long time since he’d seen Lingshan, and he felt a sense of closeness with her today. It was just that Lingshan was busy, so he didn’t talk to her much.

“Ha, I don’t care if it’s true or not, I’m quite happy.” Lingshan asked, surprised.

“It’s just a simple thought between friends,” Lin Yi added.

“Can’t you just not add that last sentence?” Lingshan said, a little dejected.

“There are several kinds of friends.” Lin Yi sweated-he didn’t think that Lingshan would react this way.

“Well, in that case, can you help me study the kidnapping case?” Lingshan’s mood improved.

“Kidnapping case …” Lin Yi had just returned home, and he didn’t know much about it. (To be continued.)
