Episode 15: Lin Xi deliberately sabotaged the arrest operation

Lin Xi discovered an important problem. The place he wanted to contact was Longchang Trading Company, and the batch of grain that Li Ruhe mentioned before was also related to Longchang Trading Company. Lin Xi went to Li Yunfei to borrow someone, and he would search the city tomorrow. Lin Xi promised that it was just for show, and then Li Yunfei called people. Wang Muqing told Zhou Yingqun that the brothers were ready.

At ten o’clock in the morning, Lin Xi saw a contact person wearing a red tie and a black top hat. The person entered the phone booth. Lin Xi immediately led the person out, running wildly on the street. He Tianming saw something was wrong and left quickly. Lin Xi took people directly to the important military area, and then Zhou Yingqun and Jiang Wei also came. Lin Xi suspected that the grain was hidden in the warehouse and asked to open the warehouse for proof.

Jiang Wei heard what he said so eloquently, so he asked someone to open the warehouse door, and it was indeed filled with grain bags. Afterwards, Zhou Yingqun still had doubts about why the time and place of Lin Xi’s mission happened to be the same as the time when he arrested people. Li Yunfei was also angry, blaming Lin Xi for taking action without consulting him in advance. The three of them had a fierce quarrel.

He Tianming went to see Su Nan and told her that the mission failed. If there was no Lin Xi today, he might not come. Later, Zhou Yingqun calmed down and analyzed it carefully. He felt that given the relationship between Lin Xi and Li Yunfei, he should not have ignored Li Yunfei’s position and ransacked the general manager’s warehouse in public. No matter what, Ling Hongjun is the core figure, and Zhou Yingqun decided to put Ling Hongjun to death tomorrow to force him to confess.

Wen Hua urged Lin Xi to go home, but when Lin Xi went back, the house was dark, and Wen Hua appeared from behind Lin Xi and pointed a gun at him. This time Lin Xi acted without authorization and violated Xing Lixian’s wishes, so Wenhua did this. Lin Xi said he could explain.

At this time, the phone rang. It was Lin Yuan who called. She said something to Lin Xi, and then gave him the phone at Xing Lixian’s signal. Lin Xi explained to Xing Lixian why he did this, and Xing Lixian felt that what he said was reasonable. In addition, Lin Xi was confident enough, so Xing Lixian stopped interfering, and Wenhua also put away his gun when he saw this. Li Ruhe was very angry, Li Yunfei laughed carefully with him, and Li Ruhe asked him to take a sick leave tomorrow.

Lin Xi couldn’t find Li Yunfei, so he had to go home. The cook at home quit, so Lin Xi took Wenhua to the Jinzhou Officers Club for dinner. Knowing that Wenhua was not used to the food here, and that this was the only place in Jinzhou that had a cook who could cook Sichuan cuisine, so even though Lin Xigang had a bad time with the people in Jinzhou, he still brought her here. While eating, Lin Xi received a note.

As soon as the two came out of the club, they were followed by someone, and Wenhua neatly killed the person they were following. Both she and Lin Xi understood that courtesy should come first and then attack. It seemed that An Chengren and Li Ruhe would talk to them soon. Sure enough, An Chengren and Li Ruhe held a banquet the next day and invited Lin Xi and his wife to attend. However, Lin Xi inquired and learned that Li Yunfei would not attend.

At the Hongmen Banquet, Lin Xi said that he could find a scapegoat to take the blame, but he did not expect that Li Ruhe wanted Li Yunfei to be the scapegoat. Of course Lin Xi was not satisfied, and Li Ruhe was not satisfied either.

The talks between the two parties collapsed, and in order to avoid quarreling with each other, Wenhua asked Lin Xi to leave and returned halfway to negotiate terms with Li Ruhe. She represented Xing Lixian’s position, and the conditions she proposed were within Li Ruhe’s acceptable range. However, he did not rush to express his position, but said that he should consider it carefully.
