Chapter 1871: Talk Without Making it Weird

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Isn’t that the case?” Zhou Yuan shrugged his shoulders with an arrogant expression.

“If he hadn’t died, I wouldn’t have had the chance to ascend to the throne. Haha… To be honest, I’m quite grateful to you. If it weren’t for you, I might have to wait another year or two. I really have to thank you.”

Lin Yi stood up and walked towards Zhou Yuan step by step.

The latter’s expression was a little unnatural. Although their figures were similar, Lin Yi put him under pressure he had never felt before. His heart couldn’t help but beat faster, and his feet seemed to be out of control as he retreated uncontrollably.

“What are you doing…” Zhou Yuan’s voice trembled. “Let me tell you, if you dare to attack me, you will have to bear legal responsibility!”

Whack!

Lin Yi didn’t say anything and slapped Zhou Yuan’s face.

With Zhou Yuan’s physical condition, how could he withstand Lin Yi’s strength?

He was sent flying with a slap, and blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth.

He looked abnormally miserable.

“How dare you hit me? I’ll sue you!”

Looking down at Zhou Yuan, Lin Yi was expressionless.

“Do you believe that 1’11 kill you?”

Zhou Yuan shuddered as the hair on his body stood on end.

However, he quickly calmed down. This was a lawful society. Even if he had a hundred guts, he would not dare to do anything to him.

“Hehe…” Zhou Yuan laughed and struggled to get up from the ground.

“You’re awesome. I’m impressed. I know I can’t afford to offend you. 111 leave, alright? In any case, I’ve achieved my goal. 1 won’t waste time with you guys.” Lin Yi didn’t say anything. He looked down at the contract Zhou Xicheng had just signed and picked it up.

“Is this contract what you are relying on?”

“So what?” Zhou Yuan said fearlessly.

Lin Yi took the lighter from the coffee table and lit the contract in midair.

Zhou Yuan was stunned. He didn’t expect Lin Yi to do such a thing.

If the contract was destroyed, everything he had done would be in vain!

“Give me the f*cking contract!”

Zhou Yuan rushed over like a madman, trying to snatch the contract from Lin Yi’s hand.

Whoosh!

Lin Yi didn’t give him a chance and kicked him!

Zhou Yuan was kicked to the ground, looking even more miserable than before.

Soon, the thick stack of contracts was burned to ashes.

Zhou Yuan’s expression collapsed. Both contracts had been burned, and he no longer had any evidence.

It was impossible for him to seize control of the company in the future.

All the hard work he had put in over the past few years had gone to waste.

Cold sweat soaked Zhou Yuan’s clothes. He knew that he had nowhere to go. Staggering, Zhou Yuan crawled to Zhou Xicheng’s side and hugged his thigh. “Uncle, 1 know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I was also bewitched into doing such a thing. I won’t dare to do it again.”

Zhou Xicheng’s previous weakness was washed away, and his eyes revealed a sharp gaze.

“Do you think I’ll still give you a chance?”

“But I’m your nephew. You can’t do this to me.”

“So what if you’re my nephew? You’ve done such a disgraceful thing. I definitely won’t let you live!”

Zhou Xicheng did not give Zhou Yuan any room to maneuver.

If he didn’t have such a heart of stone, he wouldn’t have been able to raise the

Zhou family to these heights over so many years.

Zhou Yuan sat weakly on the ground. At this point, no matter what he said, it was useless.

“Men, bring him out!”

Zhou Xicheng’s two bodyguards walked in from outside and dragged Zhou

Yuan out.

“Team Leader Lin, this is all thanks to you. If you hadn’t come in time, our

Zhou family would have really been finished.”

“Zhou Liang was my subordinate. This is what I should do.” Lin Yi said.

“As I said before, if there’s anything the Zhou family can’t handle in the future, you can call me. I’ll do my best to help you deal with it.”

“Thank you, Team Leader Lin.”

After finishing their business, the three of them prepared to leave.

Originally, Zhou Xicheng wanted to keep the three of them for a meal, but they rejected him.

They still had things to deal with in Yanjing, so they couldn’t waste their time here.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them left the Zhou family and took a taxi to the airport.

Song Jinmin had already left since Lin Yi wanted to deal with Black Snake. He still needed to prepare, so he parted ways with Lin Yi in advance.

Two hours later, the three of them landed at Yanjing Airport and returned to the base in the Central Guards Brigade’s car.

At around two in the afternoon, when the three of them arrived at Liu Hong’s office, they saw him eating.

“It’s already two o’clock. Why are you only eating now?”

“I had a lot of things to do recently. I just finished my work and have a meeting later. This is my first meal of the day.” Liu Hong said as he ate.

“Have you settled the matters in Chengdu? The Zhou family should be in a good mood.”

“It’s almost done,” Lin Yi said.

“Since the matters in Chengdu have been settled, I came back to take care of Team 1.”

Liu Hong said,

“They’ve submitted their retirement applications, as you might have heard.

“Yes, I’ve heard. Have they all arrived?”

“They came this morning and are currently under investigation. They should be out soon.”

“Did you tell them about my situation in advance?”

“I was going to, but then 1 thought it might be better for you to explain it yourself, considering your ‘resurrected’ status.”

“Alright then,” Lin Yi said, somewhat resigned.

“After everything is done, bring them over. I’ll explain everything at once to save time.”

“Got it.”

Liu Hong quickly finished his meal. “I have a meeting to attend. You guys stay here.”

“Okay.”

After Liu Hong left, the office became quiet. Ning Che lit a cigarette, her long legs propped up on the coffee table.

“You mentioned dealing with Black Snake’s people. When are you planning to go?”

“Sometime in the next few days, but I don’t know when exactly,” Lin Yi replied. “You two don’t need to help with this. After all the trouble you’ve been through, you both should rest.”

“I’m not tired. As long as Team 3 doesn’t have any missions, I’ll go with you,” Ning Che said.

“They almost killed you. 1 need to settle this score.”

“Calm down. Look at Team Leader Qiu, she’s not clamoring to go with me,” Lin Yi said with a laugh.

“We’re different. After all these years, I finally found someone who fits me perfectly in both size and timing. If you die, I’d be lost. So I have to settle this score.”

Lin Yi,”…”

Can we just have a normal conversation without you making it weird?
