Chapter 3626: Chapter 3618: I Couldn’t Beat You as a Kid, But That Might Change When We’re Grown

"He certainly has some talent in him. Once he reaches A-level, he will surely surpass me."

Song Jinmin shrugged indifferently, not taking this matter too seriously.

"But there’s one thing I need to remind you of," Song Jinmin said:

"Lin Yi is much smarter than us. Even the slightest hint could lead him to figure something out."

"Haha, after all, he’s my son. Smart just like me."

"You better think of how to cover it up. He’s not so easy to deceive."

Lin Jingzhan pondered for a moment and said, "Block all his contact methods. Don’t let him get in touch with us."

Song Jinmin: ...

What a ridiculous method.

"I’m leaving first, I’ll be back later."

"Be careful."

"Haha, I’ve been wanting to test him for a while."

"Go ahead."

Song Jinmin returned to the car.

Lin Jingzhan went to the trunk.

He took out a toolbox and two fishing rods.

He muttered to himself.

"Damn it, today I definitely won’t leave empty-handed."

Carrying his tools, Lin Jingzhan stood by the waterfront.

He found a suitable spot to sit down.

He began to tinker with the tools in his hands.

Next to him sat a man dressed in casual pants and a polo shirt.

A mask covered most of his face.

Upon closer inspection, there were streaks of white hair at his temples.

And this man was the one who had just confronted Lin Yi!

Lin Jingzhan adjusted the fishing rod and attached a worm to it.

With a flick of his hand, he cast it out.

"Poker’s intelligence-gathering abilities aren’t shabby at all, you managed to find me."

"I’ve been looking for you for many years already."

Lighting a cigarette, Lin Jingzhan handed over the lighter and cigarette together.

"Didn’t expect it to be you."

The masked man waved his hand, refusing Lin Jingzhan’s cigarette.

"My grandson is pretty good, isn’t he?"

"He is indeed quite clever. If not for finding someone to fake Mi Li’s voice, we wouldn’t have deceived him at all."

"You’ve done well, too. After all these years, you’ve learned to handle things on your own, not just a reckless youth anymore."

"But you’ve been formidable from the very start, outshining everyone of this era."

"It’s just a game of life and death."

Lin Jingzhan said:

"It’s been so many years; let go if you need to. He’s getting up there in age."

"I will never forgive him."

"He has his reasons. If you keep living in the past, imagine how painful that is."

Lin Jingzhan cast the line out again with the fishing pole.

"Look at how happy I am, with grandsons, granddaughters, and several daughters-in-law."

"Ha..." the masked man chuckled:

"Your family sure has the genes; everything might end, but not the lineage."

"So, see beyond it, the past is past."

"Easy for you to say."

The masked man reeled in his fishing rod.

"When Sister Yue got slapped, you wiped out the Halke Rangers. I didn’t see you letting go back then."

"Stop mixing things up, those are two different matters."

Lin Jingzhan lit a cigarette.

"I can still talk with you about this now. When he’s gone, it’ll be too late to regret."

"From that day on, I haven’t regretted that decision."

While speaking, the masked man began to pack his things.

"After all these years, consider it a welcome gift for him this time."

"So, your purpose in coming to Jing City is to make a statement."

"Sort of, and also to see how much your son has grown."

"So, satisfied with him?"

"He’s fiercer than you were at his age."

"You better be careful, don’t let him take you down."

"He’s still young, it’s not yet time for him to take over."

Lin Jingzhan smiled.

Watching the fishing float in the river move, he gave a tug and realized there was no fish on the line, a false alarm.

After re-baiting the hook, he cast the line back out.

"Have you seen him since you came back this time?"

"No, and there’s no need to."

"Same habits as when he was a child, blinking when he lies."

"He’s really gotten old, not like he was a few years ago."

"Everyone has their day. Treat this incident as a welcoming gift."

"Your plan might fail," Lin Jingzhan said:

"Both teams under Campbell were dismantled by my son. On a national level, they can’t find any leverage, so it’s no big deal. We’ve been at odds for a long time anyway."

"Doesn’t matter; it’s just a welcome gift anyway."

"If you can’t let go, then let it be. Don’t let him know you came; he’s too old to take such a blow."

"Alright."

After a simple clean-up, the masked man stood up.

Seemed like he was ready to leave.

"Your son is quite something; a kick like that would have killed anyone else."

"Haha, after all, he’s my son, can’t be too far off."

"I’m off."

The masked man waved his hand and left from behind Lin Jingzhan.

"The next time we meet, I might have to kill you."

The masked man paused.

"Couldn’t beat you as a kid, but grown-ups, who knows."

...

In the hospital, with Liang Ruoxu’s assistance, Lin Yi could barely move around.

When the doctor saw this, he was completely stunned.

This is a medical miracle!

"Don’t push yourself. I’ll find a way to keep this from Elder Lu. There’s no need to rush," Shen Shuyi advised.

"It’s fine; I understand my injuries."

After moving a bit, Lin Yi was walking much more smoothly.

He estimated that in about two or three days, it wouldn’t show externally.

"Hurry and call your dad, find out what’s going on; I’m so irritated," Shen Shuyi said.

"So many years without any scolding, it’s like he’s doing nothing right."

"Uh... I’m calling now."

Lin Yi picked up his phone and dialed Song Jinmin’s number.

He found that he couldn’t get through.

"Damn, did he block me?"

"It’s the kind of thing he’d do."

Shen Shuyi was so mad her head hurt.

"I’ll call your mom."

Shen Shuyi left, leaving Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu still in the hospital room.

The two exchanged a glance, feeling that this matter didn’t need their intervention.

Ring ring ring——

At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Liang Xianghe.

"What’s wrong with Cheng Cheng?"

Bluntly, Liang Xianghe asked about the child.

"Ate something bad, it’s a bit serious. I came back to check on him, and delayed work matters."

"Nothing major here, focus on family first. Liu Hong will let you know if anything comes up."

"Got it."

After hanging up Liang Xianghe, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

If they asked him to return now, it would be hard to come up with an excuse.

Considering his own injury was rather outrageous.

They’d certainly probe further.

After hanging up with Liang Xianghe, a call from Xiao Bing came in.

She mentioned she had finished her work and wanted to come visit him.

Lin Yi didn’t tell them, instead he found a reason to put them off.

The remaining time would feel like a holiday for himself.
