Chapter 2685: Chapter 2686: Coincidence
The two of them fussed around until the latter part of the day, and if it weren’t for the child’s crying, they probably would have slept until noon.
After breakfast, Lin Yi didn’t do anything and just spent time with Ji Qingyan and the child.
“Come, come, let your daughter show you a new skill she’s learned.”
Ji Qingyan held the child, pulled Lin Yi to sit on the play mat, and then laid the child down on it.
“Come on, Nuonuo, show your dad how you roll over,” Ji Qingyan encouraged from the side.
Lin Yi also watched the child intently, his eyes filled with anticipation.
But it seemed Lin Nuo wasn’t in the mood to cooperate.
She lay on the floor without moving, her eyes blinking as she curiously looked at Lin Yi.
“Nuonuo, roll over for your dad to see.”
Ji Qingyan was a bit anxious; usually, she rolled over quite well. Why was she dropping the ball at a critical moment?
But the child still didn’t move, looking adorably at Lin Yi and drooling all over the place.
Ji Qingyan was helpless and decided to try a different strategy, so she picked up a panda toy next to her and said to Lin Yi:
“She’s not quite familiar with this skill yet, let’s have her show you something else.”
As she spoke, Ji Qingyan tossed the panda toy over a meter away.
“Nuonuo, go fetch the toy.”
Lin Nuo glanced at Ji Qingyan, then set her eyes back on Lin Yi, looking at him adorably.
Ji Qingyan: …
“What’s up with this kid? She practiced so well at home, and today she’s acting like she doesn’t know anything at all, totally dropping the ball.”
Lin Yi laughed heartily.
“The child’s awareness isn’t fully developed; she’s done similar things before, but that doesn’t mean she can understand your words. She relies on instinctive reactions, and now that I’ve caught her attention, naturally, she’s not responding.”
“Sigh…”
Ji Qingyan sighed, “She really isn’t cooperating.”
Facing Ji Qingyan’s attitude, Lin Yi could only smile helplessly.
In the past, he always thought Liang Ruoxu would be a strict mother and Ji Qingyan would be very gentle.
Now it seems like it’s all the other way around.
Ji Qingyan put all her energy and attention on the child.
In contrast, Liang Ruoxu, as long as she could go out and have fun, didn’t care much about the child, leaving it to anyone willing to take care of them.
After entertaining the child for a while, Ji Qingyan handed the child over to the nanny.
“I’m going to change my clothes, and we’ll go out for a stroll in a bit.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
Ji Qingyan headed upstairs, preparing to enjoy some couple time with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi went out to the yard, checked the time, and it was now past 10 in the morning, which translated to M country time was just after 10 at night, not too late yet.
With this in mind, Lin Yi called Yu Siying.
Lately, she’d been in M country, keeping an eye on William’s situation over there. Since he was about to go over himself, he needed to get a picture of the situation first.
“Boss.”
“I’ll be heading to M country tomorrow. How are things on your end? Have you uncovered William’s background?”
“Under his name, there’s an auction house, a biological research institute named Mosli, and besides that, there’s a security company that performs global security services.”
“A global security service company?” Lin Yi murmured:
“Judging by William’s nature, this security company should just be a front, right?”
“According to my investigation, this company is divided into two parts internally; one part is responsible for East Terra’s tomb raiding work, and the other part is for making money out of wars, so his methods of making money are quite varied.”
Lin Yi nodded in agreement with Yu Siying’s perspective.
“Anything happening with this security company lately?”
“I’ve heard about the domestic issues from Luo Qi, but found nothing unusual; they hide it very well.”
After a few seconds of thought, Lin Yi said:
“What’s up with that biological research institute?”
“They mainly study diseases related to the heart and brain. It was established eight years ago but has been lukewarm in the medical circle and hasn’t produced many outstanding results over the years.”
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi asked:
“Have you found any unusual behavior from William recently?”
“He’s maintained a low profile, just shuttling between the office and home. Oh, by the way, he did visit Las Vegas once during this time,” Yu Siying said:
“This person seems to be quite the old hand, extremely cautious.”
“It’s been so long, and even you haven’t found anything, which means he’s got some skills,” Lin Yi pondered for a moment before continuing:
“Where are all his operations located?”
“The auction house is in Los Angeles; the biological research and security company are in Rochester, Minnesota.”
“Alright, I got it,” Lin Yi said:
“Let’s leave it at that for today. We’ll talk in more detail when I get there tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
After chatting briefly, Lin Yi hung up the phone.
Looking back, he noticed Ji Qingyan hadn’t come out yet, so Lin Yi called Li Chuhan.
Having been away for so long, now that he’s back, he definitely needs to check in on her.
Additionally, being someone in the circle, she might know something about the lab named Mosli.
With this thought, Lin Yi dialed Li Chuhan’s number.
It took a good while before the call was answered.
Lin Yi realized that Li Chuhan didn’t seem to be at the hospital, as there was a loud wind noise coming through the receiver.
“Where are you?” Lin Yi asked.
“At the airport,” Li Chuhan replied:
“Didn’t I tell you before that I was going to Mayo Clinic for a tour and study? Well, I’m leaving today, first transiting through Yanjing, then flying to Rochester.”
“Leaving just like that?”
“Yeah,” Li Chuhan said, “Have you returned to Zhong Hai?”
“Yes, but it doesn’t interfere with anything,” Lin Yi said, “I’m also heading to M country tomorrow, so we can meet then.”
“You’re coming to M country?” Li Chuhan’s tone was filled with surprise:
“But if it’s for me, you don’t have to come. I’ll be back in just over a month.”
“It’s partly because I miss you, but also for my own reasons,” Lin Yi laughed and said:
“If I remember correctly, Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, Minnesota, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Then wait for my news there; I’ll be there tomorrow.”
“I’ll wait for you.”
Those simple three words from Li Chuhan’s mouth were filled with warmth.
After finishing the business talk, Lin Yi hung up the phone, finding it quite a coincidence.
William’s operations are in Rochester, Minnesota, which is also where he’s heading.
And Li Chuhan was also going there, which made things even more convenient.
But before that, he needed to sort out her living arrangements there.
Lin Yi took out his phone, checked Li Chuhan’s flight, and then dialed Yu Siying again.
“Are you in Rochester?”
“Yeah.”
“Rent an apartment near Mayo Clinic; the cost doesn’t matter, but the environment must be good. Also, get a car, a high-performance sports car, and get it done within 12 hours.”
