Chapter 1935: Between size

“Why are you daydreaming? Is the timing an issue?”

“No problem,” Lin Yi changed the topic and said.

“No issue at all, I’m just a cog in the machine, ready whenever needed.”

The two chatted briefly, and then Lin Yi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Where they would go tonight was still uncertain, but no matter where, a tough battle was likely, so he needed to conserve his energy.

While resting, Lin Yi pulled up the system interface and saw that the task progress was still at (5/10). This school bullying case was still unresolved.

Lin Yi pursed his lips. If he kept hanging around with Li Xianghui, he might not encounter a few cases in a week. He would need to check out the civil department.

There were always chaotic incidents there, which made it easier to complete tasks.

After a short nap, Lin Yi stretched and prepared to visit Zhang Peng.

Completing tasks was the way to success.

However, just as Lin Yi got up, he unexpectedly noticed a white sports car parked outside. It seemed to be a Maserati from its shape.

Though there was a tree blocking part of the view and it was across the street, making the license plate hard to see clearly.

Originally, this insignificant matter wouldn’t have caught Lin Yi’s attention.

But upon seeing the car, Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

It seemed to be Ji Qingyan’s car.

Lin Yi had intended to go see Zhang Peng, but because of that car, he abandoned the idea.

Lin Yi didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he played two games on his phone, spending about half an hour.

The white Maserati was still parked outside, showing no signs of leaving.

Lin Yi put down his phone, left the office, went straight up to the third floor, and stood by the window.

From this vantage point, he could see the entire street clearly.

The license plate read: Hu A33987!

Lin Yi’s heart pounded wildly. He had been avoiding it, but the truth often lay in the smallest details.

Silently, Lin Yi stood by the window, staring for a long time.

Although he couldn’t see inside the car, Lin Yi was certain that Ji Qingyan was in there.

She was just that kind of stubborn person.

Whoosh!

Lin Yi sighed and turned to go downstairs.

Lin Yi did not think of himself as a timid person, but at this moment, he did not know how to face Ji Qingyan.

At this moment, he was not as brave as Ji Qingyan.

After some thought, Lin Yi returned to the first floor, but he didn’t go out.

Even if the two of them wanted to meet, they could not do it like this.

Lin Yi decided to go to Zhang Peng’s office. She might leave after a while.

“Brother Lin, you’re here.”

Zhang Zixin, who was cleaning up, said when she saw Lin Yi.

“Why are you alone? Where are Brother Zhang and Zhang Peng?”

The Brother Zhang Lin Yi was talking about was Zhang Demin.

He was the one who brought the three of them to work on the Tesla case.

“Someone called the police just now. They’re out on a case.” Zhang Zixin looked at her watch. “They’ve been out for a long time. They should be back soon.”

Lin Yi pursed his lips. If he had come earlier, this case would have been included in the system’s mission.

“Brother Lin, take a seat. I’ll get you some water.” Zhang Zixin said.

“That school bullying case was really satisfying.”

“Indeed. Let’s hope it attracts the attention of society.”

Lin Yi wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He was prepared to stay here for a while and complete the mission when there was a case.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside.

Immediately after, the office door was pushed open. Zhang Demin and Zhang Peng stood outside the door, and there were four people beside them.

A middle-aged couple and a young man and woman.

The middle-aged couple was dressed very causally. Their skin was a little dark, and there were wrinkles at the corners of their eyes.

On the contrary, the young couple dressed no differently from other young people of today.

“Brother Lin, you’re here.”

Seeing Lin Yi, Zhang Peng came over to greet him.

“What’s wrong? Did you not handle this matter well outside?”

Zhang Peng nodded and sat on the chair beside him. “Their situation is a little complicated. It can’t be explained in a few sentences, so we brought them back.”

“Tell me what’s going on.”

“It’s better to let them speak for themselves. They can speak more clearly than me.”

“Comrade Policeman, it’s like this,” said the young woman.

“I want to report my parents. They took a million of my savings without my permission to buy a house for my brother. I hope to get that money back.”

As she spoke, the young woman wiped away her tears, feeling utterly wronged.

Although Lin Yi hadn’t heard the rest of the story, he could already guess the gist of it.

Another tale of son-favoring demons.

“Your life is given by us, so your money is our money. It’s only right that we spend it.” The middle-aged man said.

“And besides, he’s your brother. If he runs out of money, you have to support him. Otherwise, what was the point of us supporting you through school all these years!”

“You only supported me through middle school. For high school, the school waived my fees because of my good grades. I paid for my university tuition with scholarships and part-time jobs. It had nothing to do with you!”

“So, did we raise you for nothing all these years? Isn’t that money too? Without us, you would have starved to death!” The middle-aged woman said.

“And now, we just spend a bit of your money, and you call the police on us? I never thought, after all these years, we’d raise such an ungrateful child.”

The middle-aged woman also started crying, making a big scene as if she were the one greatly wronged.

“Officer, you have to help us here. If we had known she was so heartless, we wouldn’t have raised her!”

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Lin Yi, getting annoyed, interrupted the middle-aged woman and then turned to the young man standing silently nearby.

“What do you think about this? Your mom took your sister’s money to buy you a house. Do you think what they did was right?”

“What’s wrong with it?” the young man said.

“She’s a master’s degree holder from Tsinghua University and earns more than I do. Now that I need money to buy a house, she should help me. It’s only natural. Otherwise, what was the point of raising her?”

“What kind of thinking is this? What era is this? Why do you still value boys over girls?!”

Zhang Zixin could not help but lecture him. She was also a girl, so she naturally could not stand such a thing.

“Don’t be angry. Isn’t this how it is? We have to take it slow.”

“That’s right. This young man is right. We have to get an explanation for what happened today.” The middle-aged man said.

“Young man, I can tell that you’re a sensible person. Hurry up and give us an explanation.”

“Don’t say anything.”

Lin Yi turned to look at the young man. “You just said that your sister earns a lot of money. It’s only right for her to help you. I want to ask, if you earn a lot and your sister is poor, are you willing to help her?”

“Why would she need my help?” Asked the young man.

“She’ll join someone else’s family in the future. Even if I make money, I won’t help her. If she gives birth, she won’t have the same surname as us. It doesn’t matter how much money I spend.”
