Being forcibly awakened from sleep was a very painful experience. Fortunately, the person beside him was Gu Caiwei, and before he was fully awake, a mobile phone was shoved in front of him.
"It's been ringing for a long time, please answer it!"
Lin Yi would set his cell phone to vibrate every night. He fell into a deep sleep and found that Gu Caiwei had always been a light sleeper, so he woke her up first.
"Who is it in the middle of the night?"
He opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was the name of the caller:
Han Xue.
The two of them have not been in contact with each other for the past year. Based on their relationship, Han Xue should not call him even if she is drunk and crazy.
A very unpleasant emotion suddenly surged into his heart. He was so frightened that he sat up. Before getting up, he only had time to say:
"I'll go out to pick you up. You go to bed first."
Lin put on his shoes, walked out of the bedroom and carefully closed the door, then quickly walked to the study room and answered the countless phone calls he made in succession.
"Han Xue."
The person on the other side didn't care that he called him by his first name and simply ignored these details. Han Xue's very serious voice came:
"Li Moyan was arrested."
Her tone didn't sound exciting. I don't know if Han Xue was unexpectedly calm or if the energy had passed.
For Lin Yi, even though he already had a bad premonition, hearing the news was like a bolt from the blue and made him freeze in place.
"What, what's going on?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
Lin Yi's voice became louder, obviously unable to accept this answer.
Han Xue explained the cause and effect in some detail: "A few days ago, Li Moyan set off from Shanghai and flew to the other side of the ocean to meet with the Muse North American team, hoping to communicate with the local regulatory authorities."
"I don't know why, but she didn't choose to enter the United States directly. Instead, she went to Canada and made appointments to meet with several key people in charge there."
"The past few days were normal. Although she said that the communication with the regulatory authorities was not smooth, the main purpose of this trip was basically achieved."
"But just when she was about to return home after her trip there, she was taken away by the police at the Canadian airport. The reason provided was that she was suspected of violating U.S. laws and was required to be extradited."
"At that time, we had a colleague who was watching her being taken away. Li Moyan told her to contact me, so the call came to me."
"I asked her not to return to the country for the time being, but to stay there and wait for further information and cooperate with any judicial measures that may be necessary. These are the current circumstances."
Lin Yi still didn't fully accept it: "When did it happen?"
Han Xue replied: "Just before I called you, because of the time difference between the two sides of the ocean, most people are still dreaming, but as soon as it breaks in the morning, the whole world will know."
Lin Yi pressed the phone twice and found that there were twenty or thirty missed calls. It should be daytime over there, so the time would match.
He knew that Han Xue was not exaggerating at all. This was definitely huge news. He might be the second person in the Eastern Hemisphere to receive the news besides Han Xue.
He originally had some unrealistic expectations in his heart. This might be Han Xue's prank, even if it was just to get revenge on himself.
But reason told him that even if Han Xue could run trains all over the world, she would never make fun of Li Moyan's safety.
Lin Yi was shocked after hearing this.
If what he expected was correct, the senior sister must have listened to his advice and chose to go to Canada instead of entering the United States.
Logically speaking, he should have foreseen this, but Lin Yi really did not expect that the matter would suddenly fall on his senior sister.
She obviously didn't think of it herself.
While Lin Yi was still confused, Han Xue's voice from the opposite side rang out again:
"Now listen to me, Lin Yi."
"I know this must be a big shock to you, and it is the same to me. If you had answered the phone half an hour earlier, I would have been as helpless as you are now."
"You know I have always had a strong opinion of you, and I have never intended to apologize to you for this. I think you don't have a good impression of me either, but it doesn't matter."
"The important thing is that Li Moyan has encountered such a big change in a foreign country. There are not many people she can rely on, and you are one of them."
"If there is any dispute between the two of us, we can leave it to later. I hope you can set off and rush to Shanghai now, immediately."
"Because I have something left by Li Moyan and I have to entrust it to you in person. By the way, you can sort out your thoughts on the way."
Lin Yi made a quick decision: "Okay, wait for me!"
After he hung up the phone, he hurried back to the bedroom. Sure enough, Gu Caiwei was leaning on the bedside with the light on, and was not so worried that she went back to sleep directly.
"What's wrong?"
"Senior sister, something happened..."
Lin Yiyi roughly recounted what Han Xue said just now, and then said solemnly:
"Xiaowei, I'm sorry. I have to go to Shanghai immediately. This matter will be very difficult. I'm not sure how long it will take."
Of course, Gu Caiwei was also extremely surprised, but she quickly said reasonably: "Then go quickly and tell me if you have any news."
Lin Yi promised and was still changing clothes quickly. Just when he opened the door and was about to go out, he was stopped again.
"Lin Yi."
"Um?"
"You have to be careful yourself."
When Lin Yi turned around, he saw the worry in her eyes, so he gave her a confident smile before turning around and walking out.
"Do not worry."
In fact, Lin Yi was not as confident as he showed, and was even a little panicked.
It has been eight years since he was reborn. In terms of personal achievements, no one among his peers can match him. I think he has not wasted this opportunity.
If the senior sister encounters any problems in the country, even if he dare not pat his chest and promise to solve it, he can still think of a solution.
This time is different.
Han Xue was able to be so calm probably because she didn't know yet what they were fighting against.
Lin Yi knew.
At this moment on this planet, only Lin Yi knows best that they are facing a power that has been rampant and self-centered for decades.
The experience of his previous life reminded him that it is difficult to be good.
Lin Yi really wanted to come up with an idea to ensure that his senior sister returned safely and smoothly, but this matter was completely beyond his control.
There are too many possibilities that will produce unknown variables in the results.
On the way to the airport, he kept thinking about his senior sister, that is, there was no car on the road in the middle of the night, otherwise there would be an accident.
Wenyuhe was not far from the airport, and finally arrived without any trouble. Lin Yicai suddenly remembered, how could there be any flights taking off in the middle of the night?
The empty terminal seemed to be laughing at his miscalculation, and Lin Yi was annoyed and had to wait there anxiously for dawn.
Damn it, if I had known better I would have bought a private jet!
