Chapter 4049: Chapter 4037: Results After Deep Investigation

"There’s more to this?"

After listening to Xiao Bing’s description, Lin Yi sensed something amiss.

"I discovered it quite unintentionally."

"So he’s still working as a sign language interpreter, right?"

"Yes."

"Look into this matter thoroughly and get back to me as soon as possible."

"Alright," Xiao Bing said:

"By the way, Lin Bro, things are starting to get chaotic in Corea, even Anglo and Mammon have clashed several times."

Lin Yi smiled, as things were unfolding as he and the old man had planned.

"Is there anyone suspecting that the Sheepskin Scroll is fake?"

"Based on the current situation, it seems no one has noticed anything suspicious."

"Let them continue stirring up trouble," Lin Yi said:

"What’s the situation on the island?"

"No new discoveries, Teams Three and Four are already on their way back."

"Got it."

After hanging up the call with Xiao Bing, Lin Yi sat silently in his chair.

Liu Jintao, in collaboration with the county hospital, was making a fortune.

The job of sign language interpretation is a niche field; even in a city like Zhong Hai, the salary isn’t high, let alone in a small county.

Despite having a substantial income, Liu Jintao was still doing such work, and being someone who valued money highly, this seemed very unusual.

A vague premonition began to form in Lin Yi’s mind.

There might be many things worth digging deeper into in this matter.

However, for now, they needed to continue seeking hot topics for reporting.

Soon, a day passed, and Lin Yi left early to pick up Little Nuonuo from kindergarten.

In the evening, the three of them went to the mall, and after dinner, they took Little Nuonuo to the play area in the mall.

Seeing Little Nuonuo smile, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile too.

The meaning of life was encapsulated in such moments.

Click—

Ji Qingyan took a photo of Lin Yi with her phone.

"Take a look, how did I do?"

The photo featured Lin Yi’s side profile, with the playful Little Nuonuo captured in the frame, his eyes brimming with fatherly love.

"Your photography skills are improving."

"Of course," Ji Qingyan said with a hint of pride.

Even after marrying and having a child, Ji Qingyan’s youthful charm remained undiminished.

"Oh, the date is set, the day after tomorrow we are going for the outdoor shoot, manage your schedule accordingly."

"Hmm."

"Also, do your colleagues have time to join? Perhaps they could come along for a group shot; it could count as a gathering."

"That’s a good idea."

Lin Yi took out his phone and shared the plan in the group chat, and everyone responded positively, some even began booking flights.

Sui Qiang and Yu Siying planned to take advantage of the occasion to have their own wedding photos taken.

The next morning, Lin Yi went to work as usual.

He received a call from Sui Qiang while on the road, who said he had arrived in Zhong Hai and was going to meet Ji Qingyan directly to try on wedding gowns and suits for the shoot tomorrow.

Once at the TV station, Lin Yi returned to his office.

Everyone at the station knew about Li Yueqin and Ma Liansheng getting fired, and many speculated it had something to do with Lin Yi. Thus, they treated him courteously.

Even Sui Zhao Hai greeted him with a beaming smile.

Returning to his office, Yue Sijing handed over many pieces of material, which seemed decent on the surface but lacked a certain something.

While suitable for a program, using them to fulfill a task might be inadequate.

"Director Sun just had a talk with me," Yue Sijing said.

"What about?"

"Ma Liansheng left, so there’s no producer for ’Big Observation of the Day’. He wants me to take over, and asked for my thoughts."

"That’s good news; if you want to go, you should. Don’t worry about other things; your future is important."

"I’m not too keen on leaving; I’ve gotten used to being here."

"It’s fine not to leave; I’ll be leaving soon. In our segment, apart from you, no one else is qualified to replace me. You should stay here; you know everyone well, and your work will go smoother."

"Huh?"

Yue Sijing looked surprised at the news of Lin Yi’s departure.

"Don’t be so shocked; it’s not a big deal," Lin Yi smiled and said:

"You can’t expect me to work here forever."

"It does make sense..."

Yue Sijing had personally witnessed Lin Yi’s capabilities.

Being just a director at a small TV station was an under-utilization of his talent.

"Shall I organize a farewell party for you when you leave?"

"Please don’t, I can’t stand being sentimental," Lin Yi laughed and said:

"I told you this because I wanted to convey that you shouldn’t emotionally fluctuate, even if you don’t join ’Big Observation of the Day’, you could stay here as a producer."

"Oh, I’m not fluctuating; I’m just a bit reluctant to see you go."

"Hey, hey, don’t make it sound so ambiguous; it makes it look like I’m exploiting my subordinates."

"Oh, you’re teasing me now."

"Alright, don’t dwell on it, and don’t tell anyone. Just continue as before."

"Got it."

After Yue Sijing left, Lin Jiang idly played mobile games to pass the time.

In the afternoon, the people of Team One arrived one after another, and Lin Yi went to the airport to pick them up.

The first arrivals were Xiao Bing and Luo Qi.

These two often hung out together, whatever they did was usually in pairs.

"Lin Bro!"

Seeing Lin Yi, Xiao Bing ran over and jumped on him, leading passersby to think they were eager friends reuniting.

Until Luo Qi also ran over to embrace Lin Yi, leaving others puzzled.

"Can this really happen?"

"When are they arriving?"

"Brother Feng and Brother Hu are coming by high-speed train, Brother Yue’s flight is due in half an hour, let’s wait here for a bit."

Lin Yi nodded, and the three headed to the airport café.

"By the way, I’ve investigated the matter you asked me to, it’s almost complete," Xiao Bing said:

"The guy named Liu Jintao has a unique job; he mainly translates for deaf-mute criminals to facilitate police communication."

Lin Yi thought for a moment, "If that’s the case, the salary should be even lower, right?"

"Yes, and considering Liu Jintao is someone who values money dearly, doing such a job without a reason seems unlikely, there must be something fishy," Xiao Bing said as she looked at Lin Yi:

"Lin Bro, you’re a journalist, can’t you investigate and interview him? There’s something even stranger."

Pausing, Xiao Bing said:

"I checked his bank transactions; apart from the hospital’s regular payments, sporadically there’s amounts ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands, all coming from different accounts, which is highly suspicious."
