Chapter 2045: Only Master Lin Can Help You

Yan Ci’s eyes sparkled with a smile.

“How did you know I had other intentions?”

As she spoke, Yan Ci slipped down one side of her shoulder strap, her desires showing through her gaze, threatening to makes one’s imagination go wild.

“I’ll remember what you said today. Once I’ve recovered from my injury, we’re going to have a three-hundred-round battle and settle this.”

“Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you,” Yan Ci said with a laugh.

“But I really have to thank you for today. I didn’t expect them to make such a request, wanting to come to your house for dinner.”

Yan Ci felt a bit embarra.s.sed, not just because they made an unreasonable request.

But also because her relatives kept trying to show off in front of Lin Yi, embarra.s.sing her.

“With something like this, of course, I’d make sure you kept your dignity,” Lin Yi said casually.

“So let’s not talk about it anymore—it’s no big deal.”

“But the day after tomorrow, I might need your help again. My aunt wants to meet with Chen Teng’s parents before she leaves. I was going to decline on your behalf, but before I could even open my mouth, my aunt insisted you come, saying you’re capable, have a broad perspective, and are a good judge of character. She didn’t even give me a chance to refuse.”

“We already discussed this—it’s no big deal. Just give me a call beforehand.”

Mua…

In the video, Yan Ci blew Lin Yi a kiss.

“I’ll trouble you one last time the day after tomorrow, and then I won’t need to bother you anymore. After I send them off, I’ll make sure to properly repay you.”

“I’m happy to hear you say that.”

Yan Ci playfully tilted her head, “Hmph, you’re such a rascal.”

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up. Afterward, Lin Yi spent some time talking with Liang Ruoxu and w.a.n.g Ying before washing up and going to bed.

…

Yaojia Village was located at the border between Zhonghai and Yuhang City.

It was an obscure little village with about twenty households, mostly occupied by elderly residents and left-behind children.

Their daily sustenance came from the crops they grew in the fields.

When the harvest was good, they could eat a bit more, but if there were floods or hailstorms, they might not even have enough to eat and would have to rely on government aid to get by.

Late at night, a black Pa.s.sat sedan drove into the village and parked in a secluded corner. Two men hurriedly got out of the car and disappeared into the darkness.

These two men were Bai Yongshou and w.a.n.g Shuguang.

Before the crackdown began, Bai Yongshou caught wind of it and left half an hour early, taking w.a.n.g Shuguang with him to begin their escape.

After a full day and night of fleeing, they finally managed to shake off the police and arrived at Yaojia Village.

Bai Yongshou chose this place because he once had a lover from this village, so he was familiar with the area and knew it was quite hidden. That’s why they decided to hide here.

The two of them crouched by the edge of a field, enduring the bites of mosquitoes. w.a.n.g Shuguang whispered,

“Boss Bai, what do we do now? We have no choice but to flee abroad. Staying in the country is no longer an option.”

“I know that, but the problem is how we’re going to get out of the country. I don’t have any money on me, and even if we wanted to sneak out, we don’t have the connections. We need to find someone who can help us get out of this mess and get us safely abroad.”

“The only person we can rely on now is Wei Yihua. Maybe we should give him a call.”

Bai Yongshou nodded and took out his phone to call Wei Yihua.

But Bai Yongshou was smart. He didn’t use his regular phone to contact Wei Yihua.

In a situation like this, everyone would want to distance themselves from him as much as possible. If he used his regular phone to contact them, they wouldn’t answer.

Even Wei Yihua wouldn’t risk it.

In this circle, there was no such thing as pure friendship. Everyone was just using each other.

“Who is this?”

When the call connected, Wei Yihua’s voice was deep and serious.

“It’s me, Bai Yongshou.”

As soon as he heard Bai Yongshou’s voice, Wei Yihua’s tone turned angry.

“Are you trying to get me killed, calling me at a time like this?”

It was clear that Wei Yihua knew about Bai Yongshou’s situation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so agitated.

If the police traced the call back to him, he’d be in serious trouble.

“Please, Wei Ye, don’t hang up. I’m at my wit’s end. I need your help.”

“You’ve really gotten yourself into a mess this time, and not even I can help you,” Wei Yihua said.

“Don’t blame me for being unkind, but the crackdown this time is very strict. It seems like the higher-ups have been planning to take you down for a while now. There’s really nothing I can do.”

“Are you telling me you can’t even help me find a boat to escape?”

“I know what you’re thinking—you want to sneak out of the country,” Wei Yihua said.

“But I’ve retired from that kind of business for a long time. I’m not involved anymore, so I can’t help you with it. I’m sorry.”

“Master Wei, we’ve known each other for over ten years. Can’t you at least help me think of something? You could put me in touch with another intermediary. I’m willing to pay any amount, and I’ll make sure whoever helps me is well compensated.”

Wei Yihua was silent on the other end of the line for a moment.

“I can’t help you, but there’s someone in Zhonghai who can.”

“Who?” Bai Yongshou asked eagerly.

“Master Lin,” Wei Yihua said.

“He’s got deep connections in Zhonghai. I can’t guarantee that he can save you from this situation, but it shouldn’t be a problem for him to get you out of the country.”

“Master Lin!”

Wei Yihua’s words seemed to give Bai Yongshou a glimmer of hope.

“I know what to do now. Thank you, Master Wei. Once I get through this, I’ll come to see you and drink a few toasts in your honor.”

“Let’s not talk about that now. Focus on handling your situation first.”

“Alright!”

After hanging up with Wei Yihua, Bai Yongshou immediately dialed Lin Yi’s number.

But he called twice and got no answer.

“Boss Bai, it’s already past 2 AM. Master Lin is probably asleep. Let’s just stay hidden here for the night and try calling him in the morning. He’s our only hope, so let’s not risk annoying him.”

Bai Yongshou nodded, agreeing that w.a.n.g Shuguang made sense, so he decided not to call again.

…

The next morning, just after 7 AM, Lin Yi woke up as usual. He noticed two missed calls from an unknown number on his phone.

Lin Yi glanced at them, didn’t think much of it, and marked them as spam.

But as he was washing up, his phone rang again. It was the same unknown number.

Lin Yi didn’t give it much thought and answered the call.

“Master Lin, it’s Bai Yongshou.”
