Chapter 536 No Way Back
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. This woman is named Liu Yao. If she joins their team at this time, I believe that her presence would have a decisive impact on their affairs."
"So, if that's the case, can't we start by targeting this woman? That way, we might be able to trace back and find out what's really going on."
"That's exactly what I was thinking. But now, I only have her photo and her name. Beyond that, I know nothing. I want to ask, how should we go about tracking her down amidst this sea of people?"
After saying this, Lin Yi sighed deeply.
At the time, he had imagined it would be simple, just figure out the woman's identity, and then they would quickly find out what they were up to.
The key issue was that now, none of this held any significance for him.
Moreover, uncovering their true intentions seemed an impossible feat.
"Liu Yao, how about this: you leave this matter to me. I'll find a way to track down this woman. After all, the factory still needs your help over there, so you can't leave this place behind."
"The factory affairs? I'll tell you, I really can't leave them behind. And, do you know what Lin Yi told me tonight?"
"What did he say?"
"He demanded that I complete construction within 10 days. My God, isn't that just nonsense? Right now, even with round-the-clock overtime, it would probably take about 15 days. And now he's asking to cut another five days off. This is something not even an Immortal could accomplish.
"Why is he so eager to have the house? What does he really want to do with it?"
"I don't know. I always have this vague feeling that the medical equipment he's buying must be connected with the house he wants to build."
"But why go through such a roundabout way? Why not just move them directly?"
"Don't forget, it's not just you in this factory. I'm here too, and there may be others as well. Doesn't it seem less secure to do things this openly?"
"You mean, he's worried that these items will draw attention, so he's going the extra mile to deflect suspicion. That way, even when this batch of goods shows up here, no one will link it to today's events."
"Right, that's where Lin Yi's intelligence truly lies. And all these detours ultimately serve one purpose. I guess he must be working on saving and helping people."
"What? Saving and helping? But as far as I know, he doesn't have a clue about medicine. He's just able to produce some Elixirs, and most of those are completed with Ling'er's help. He only provides a simple idea."
"Perhaps, that idea could solve all problems? I'm not going to ponder this issue anymore. After all, it's set in stone. Could I really demolish the house now?"
"It's not going to happen, but his demand that you finish construction within 10 days, can you do it?"
"To be honest, by normal standards, it's impossible. If that's the case, it looks like I'll have to think of an alternative."
"An alternative? What could you possibly do?"
"Don't worry, there's always a solution. Plus, back when I followed the old master, I've experienced rushing deadlines before. But then, the quality of the house can't be guaranteed."
"If the quality isn't guaranteed, let me tell you, doing that could very well get you kicked out of the game, you understand?"
"Kicked out of the game? Why would he kick me out? Besides, right now I'm just working ahead to finish the project as he wishes. If so, he should be thankful to me. Why would he kick me out then?"
"You're wrong. Lin Yi is a very cautious person. If you deliver the project ahead of time, he'll definitely inspect the house's quality. Then, he'll have professional inspectors come to check the structural quality. If there's the slightest error, then he might just kick you to the curb and never give you another chance."
Hearing Han Xuewei's analysis, he pondered carefully, and it seemed to make sense.
If that's the case, it seems that I mustn't proceed in that way for the time being.
"What do you suggest I do? I'm already in too deep. If you say I should back down now, do you think I'd face an ugly end?"
"Backing down is definitely not an option. Didn't you say there was a way to get the schedule ahead? So, this is your test. No matter what you do, you have to ensure the quality and speed up the schedule. Only that way can he fully trust you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng mulled it over. He wasn't oblivious to this reasoning.
But if that was the case, it looked like he would have to take a different approach, and perhaps, it might just be feasible.
"Alright, let me think of something. Tomorrow, I will find someone to assist me. After all, I can't do it on my own. By the way, did you see him today?"
"I've met him already."
"How's the situation?"
"It feels like it's improving day by day. Plus, he mentioned there might be an allergic reaction to one of the medications. But the other party has agreed to formulate a new medicine for him, to be tested tomorrow. If there are no issues, the treatment could possibly end the day after tomorrow."
"The identification documents I asked you to give him, including two bank cards, have you already handed them over?"
"Don't worry, I've given them to him. Plus, I've informed him of his new identity—he's the chairman of a real estate corporation."
"Good, then let's hurry up. We can't delay this matter any longer. Plus, a couple of days ago, I made arrangements for the company, including having everything prepared. We're just waiting for him to go there and take up his post."
