Chapter 3612: Chapter 3604: Are You Going to Guard This Place Tonight?
"And then? What should we do now?" Chen Yutong asked.
"Touring, of course, that’s why we came here for the road trip," Lin Yi said.
"The oil theft and the car being smashed are just minor hiccups. We can’t forget the purpose of our trip."
"I still have the mood for it, just not sure how my sister’s doing."
"If I can’t handle even this little thing, I’m not fit to run a company."
"So, what are we waiting for? Let’s go now."
"Let’s go."
Because the car was taken for repair.
The three of them took a taxi to two nearby attractions.
One is the Lava Water Cave, the other is the Grand Canyon.
The unique terrain made the three of them marvel at the wonders of nature.
By the end of the day, they had forgotten the so-called unpleasantness.
After a day of fun, the three of them went to have the local specialty live fish hotpot.
The day’s itinerary ended, and by the time they came back, it was already past eight at night.
Before returning, Lin Yi called the repair shop to check on the progress of the car repair.
The other side said it wasn’t finished yet and would have to wait until the afternoon of the next day.
Lin Yi didn’t think much about it, just urged them to be quicker and hung up the phone.
"Lin Bro, do you need my help tonight?"
"No need, you two just go to sleep. If trouble comes, it might make things more complicated."
"Lin Bro, that’s blatant disdain for us."
"Oh, I’ve been disdaining you for more than just a day or two."
"Damn, that’s hurtful."
"Aren’t you waiting for the company car to arrive? We’re here to keep you company for a while, nothing to do back anyway."
"That works too."
The three strolled around the plaza of the service area.
Big trucks arrived one after another.
Lin Yi saw that every time a large truck arrived, Ma Xiaolong would go over to demand parking fees.
Many had no choice, to protect the oil in their tanks, they had to grit their teeth and pay.
But there were some who didn’t pay.
They might be planning to leave soon or might be ready to stand their ground.
Soon, the trio saw a truck marked with Hengchi Transport roll in from outside.
Ma Xiaolong walked over with a flashlight.
But the driver showed no intention of paying.
Ma Xiaolong didn’t say much either, just turned and left with his flashlight.
Soon, the driver, holding his car key, got out.
With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked toward the dining area.
"Let’s go inside as well and wait for him there."
The three entered the service area dining hall.
Soon, they saw the driver come in.
He bought two boxes of instant noodles, two tea eggs, two sausages, and a bottle of iced red tea that costs six yuan here but four elsewhere.
This was his dinner.
"You two wait here, I’ll go have a chat with him."
With a nod to the two women, Lin Yi walked over to the driver and sat across from him.
Seeing Lin Yi, the driver hesitated for a moment.
Then looked around.
"Hey, man, can I help you?"
"Let me introduce myself, I’m Lin Yi, President Chen’s driver."
"Huh? The company’s President Chen?"
"Yes?"
Lin Yi pointed to the space behind him.
"President Chen is right behind you; you can turn around and see."
The driver turned and saw Chen Yuying.
Then he made an expression that every man understands.
"I’ve only seen photos before, didn’t expect her to be so pretty in person."
"I also think President Chen is pretty, especially her legs."
"Then you’re lucky, driving President Chen around every day, seeing everything."
"Actually, after seeing it often, it’s just so-so."
"But since President Chen is here, should I go say hi?"
"Going to say hi is fine."
The two stood up and walked over to Chen Yuying.
"Hello, President Chen, I’m Miao Gang, a driver from our company."
"Hello."
Chen Yuying extended her hand and gave him a handshake.
"President Chen, was there something you needed from me?"
"Let him tell you,"
said Chen Yuying, looking at Lin Yi.
"I noticed you didn’t pay for the parking fee earlier, are you planning to stay with the car?"
"I can’t guard it out here. I’m just having a meal before leaving, will sleep on the roadside on the highway later, definitely safer than here,"
Miao Gang said:
"Just yesterday, one of our drivers got into trouble, guarded the oil tank all night, still got the oil stolen."
"We know about that, the oil money has been reimbursed."
Lin Yi said:
"I’m reaching out to let you know, tonight you can sleep here, I’ll keep watch outside for you, if the oil gets stolen, it’s on me."
Miao Gang was taken aback.
"You’re not planning on catching the oil theft guys, are you?"
"You got it right."
"Those guys aren’t easy to catch, maybe just let it go."
"But we can’t just swallow this anger, as men, don’t you get fed up seeing them act tough?"
"For sure, I do."
Miao Gang’s tone and emotions rose.
"Bro, if you’re making a move tonight, count me in."
"No need for you, just rest well, I’ll handle it myself. If you come, it’ll be hard to coordinate."
"Alright then."
"That’s how it is, after your meal, just go to rest."
Lin Yi handed his keys to Miao Gang.
"Have a good sleep, give me your car keys, and don’t worry about anything else."
"Thanks to President Chen then."
After finishing business, Miao Gang left his car keys and walked off.
"Lin Bro, what’s your next plan?"
"Watch the car and sleep under it till midnight."
"But what if you stay up all night, would that be more effective?"
"A big truck has two places to sleep: the front seats and the rear bed."
"If guarding from the bed, they’d run by the time you make a move, and if in front, you could easily get spotted. So I plan to do like Xu Guangcheng did, sleep by the tank and catch them red-handed."
"Lin Bro, you’re smart."
"It’s not me being smart, it’s you being too dumb. Look at your sister, she’s taking it calmly."
"Don’t say that, I’m smart too."
"Smart with an IELTS score of 2.3?"
"Damn."
The three chatted for a while.
Lin Yi returned to Miao Gang’s truck.
Though Miao Gang seemed rough, he kept the truck tidy, making it quite comfortable inside.
It just had a dated feel, very grounded.
Lin Yi was chatting with some women on his phone.
After some chatting, he switched back to the Central Guards Brigade group chat.
He talked with his team about upcoming tasks.
Sui Qiang and Yu Siying had already reached Jing City, and others were preparing.
Lin Yi informed them of his schedule.
Planning to meet in Jing City in four days.
Meanwhile,
Ma Xiaolong walked over with a flashlight.
He shined it at Lin Yi.
"What’s up, didn’t you say you’d leave later? Staying to guard today?"
