Chapter 407 - Caught In A Difficult Position
Pinliang went silent awkwardly, his face mopey. "It was Yao Yao? It's nothing then…"
Everyone else were looking down on Pinliang once more- so it was nothing if it was Mengyao, too? Why was this person so shameless, he was just yelling about making the bottle-thrower pay!
"It wasn't me, I didn't even finish my drink yet!" Mengyao frowned, obviously aware that Yushu was trying to mess with Pinliang- Even then, Mengyao didn't want to get misunderstood like that for nothing! Her, throwing a bottle at Pinliang? She would never bother hitting him, who did he think he was!
With that, Mengyao pulled her drink out from her desk and waved it in front of Yushu. "Would it kill you so stop causing trouble?? Don't make me pull your tongue out again!"
"Ugh… I'll stop, but you won't trick me into opening my mouth again..!" Yushu closed her mouth shut with her hands.
Meanwhile, Pinliang flared with rage- Yushu was clearly messing with him, but there was nothing he could do about that at all- he couldn't cross Chen Yushu!
Putting her brother aside, there was still the fact that she was Mengyao's best friend, her soulmate… He wouldn't really dare piss her off in the first place.
His insides were bursting with frustration- he had to channel this out on someone else! "I'm gonna count to three! The one who threw the bottle, you better show yourself or you'll regret it!"
Pinliang was really raging at this point- after multiple instances of suppressing that rage, it was now erupting in its entirety!
"Fine, fine! I threw it!" Xiaoxiao wasn't expecting Pinliang to be this worked up over something like that, and Lin Yi was looking at her vaguely, too. She decided to just admit to the bottle-throwing since Lin Yi would expose her even if she didn't.
That was incorrect, however, for Lin Yi didn't give two shits about something as trivial as this, especially when it was Pinliang who got hit on the head. He wouldn't care even if Pinliang died from it.
"Ah?!" Pinliang never thought that Xiaoxiao would be the one responsible! His face subtly twisted in agony as he considered his current position.
He didn't dare piss Lin Yi off, and he couldn't do anything to Mengyao or Yushu… But it was even more so when it was Xiaoxiao!
"Ah… lil sis Xiaoxiao, it's nothing… Ha…" Pinliang pressed his frustration down as he seated himself, almost trembling at all the pent up rage- one touch would explode him.
Yet he had no other options- if he couldn't go against these people, then he'd have to hide from them.
This little episode had cost him a lot of his honor and pride- all his classmates wanted to laugh, but tried their best to hold it in out of fear, much to Pinliang's frustration. He wouldn't have stood up in the first place if he'd known this was gonna happen! All three times he backed off with his tail between his legs!
"Fuck! Ever since Lin Yi came to our class nothing goes my way!" Pinliang angrily slammed a fist against the wall, the only target for him to vent his frustrations on.
"Hold it in, Liang Bro! The moment Pao comes back from the mountain it'll be Lin Yi's execution day!" Xiaofu had learned of Zhang Naipao's whereabouts at this point- he was quite excited himself for Naipao's return from the training.
"Yeah, but by the time he comes back it'll only be harder for me to get with Mengyao. Look at how ruined my relationship with her is right now!" Pinliang said angrily.
"Uh… But all those strategies didn't work…" Xiaofu might be a petty military strategist, but strategist he was- he specialized in shameless attacks. "But Liang Bro, you need to hurry up! We're graduating soon, and it'll be really hard by the time you're a college student… You'd have trouble just meeting her if you end up in a different department!"
"You're right, I need to hurry!" Pinliang nodded. "You have any ideas?"
"The ideas I have now don't work, and I'll need time before I can come up with a doable one!" Xiaofu shook his head in response.
"Then forget it, we'll keep thinking!" Pinliang was at a loss himself.
The last morning class ended, and Lin Yi finally stood up from his desk to exit to classroom before lunch, much to Xiaoxiao's delight. She quickly gestured to Pinliang and called him. "You go first and clear the bathroom of other boys! I don't wanna see anyone peeing in there when I go in!"
Having received the instructions, Pinliang rushed to the washroom with Xiaofu- they had to clear the place of people before Lin Yi arrived! Xiaoxiao would definitely be displeased if she came in to see anyone else in there.
"Get out, get out! Everybody get the hell out!" Pinliang didn't dare do anything to Lin Yi, but these students were but fodder to him- he didn't need to say much to get everyone running out the bathroom…
But life was full of exceptions. A boy with a cigarette in his mouth came walking out from one of the stalls, his eyes glaring at Pinliang. "I say, Liangy, you're being pretty cocky aren't you? Kicking me out when I'm smoking here?"
It was Zou Ruoming. Others may fear the name of Zhong Pinliang, but not him- he was but annoyed that Pinliang was interrupting his smoking session.
Under normal circumstances, Pinliang really wouldn't want to get into a head-on confrontation with Ruoming, but today was different. He curled his lips after Ruoming finished talking. "Ming Bro, Xiaoxiao's got something to do here, don't say I didn't warn you- if you wanna stay here and interrupt her then carry on."
"Ah? Xiaoxiao's coming here?" Ruoming blinked, his cigarette dropping down onto the floor with a pop. He didn't care. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
With that, he ran out the washroom without bothering with Pinliang.
Pinliang smiled proudly as Ruoming ran out the room, not remembering that he was running from someone else. Having completely cleared the bathroom up, Pinliang stood guard with Xiaofu outside, sentrying both sides of the bathroom door like guards, stopping anyone who tried to enter.
Lin Yi walked up to the washroom and saw the two standing at the sides of the entrance, confused. "What're you two doing?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, we're just waiting for somebody…" Pinliang explained flatteringly. "Boss Lin, you wanted to use the washroom? Please, enter!"
Lin Yi frowned. What the hell was up with these two idiots? He walked inside anyway to find that there wasn't anyone in there, prompting Lin Yi to heighten his awareness… Both Pinliang and Xiaofu were pieces of shit- something had to be up with them standing guard outside like that.
"Yo, what happened? Is he inside?" Xiaoxiao had been tracing Lin Yi step for step, but kept her distance in fear that Lin Yi would spot her- she didn't see if Lin Yi entered the washroom or not.
"He's inside, lil sis Xiaoxiao, and the whole place is clear. You can go in rest assured that us two will stand guard for you!" Pinliang promised with a pat on his chest.
Chapter 408 - Another Bathroom Rain
Xiaoxiao nodded, satisfied. "Very good. I'll go in then, you guys keep watch!"
"Of course, lil sis Xiaoxiao!" Pinliang nodded.
Xiaoxiao took her phone out and turned the camera on before tip-toeing into the men's washroom… To tell the truth, she was actually feeling pretty tense, this being her first time in the men's washroom and all. She'd been rebellious and feisty these couple years, even stabbing someone without blinking, but the thought of entering a place like this still put a blush onto her face.
Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and convinced herself that she only needed to walk over and take a quick shot- the quality didn't matter since it was something for threatening Lin Yi anyway.
Lin Yi may currently be peeing, but he was still on full alert- his heart tensed up upon hearing the footsteps come from behind him. There wasn't glass in front of him this time around, however, and he wasn't able to check what was behind him through the reflection.
But Lin Yi didn't even need to think about it to know that this was related to Pinliang- why else would he be standing outside with Xiaofu like that? What Lin Yi didn't understand, however, was why this Pinliang was so retarded. Using the same move twice? Didn't he remember his 'artificial rain' experience from last time?
There was a very slight warning coming from the jade- this meant that while this person wasn't here to murder him, there was still some hostile intent. Having confirmed that this person behind him was an enemy, Lin Yi decided to just swing his body around and do what he did last time…
If he insisted on playing the same game, then Lin Yi would just entertain him with the same victory.
"Ah!!" Xiaoxiao had her eyes closed as she walked up to film Lin Yi when it started raining all of a sudden, much to Xiaoxiao's surprise. She opened her eyes after crying out to see what exactly was going on, only to completely pale in realization.
This wasn't rain… It was… It was Lin Yi's pee!!!
"Aaah!!!" Xiaoxiao shrieked once more before subconsciously covering her eyes with her now wet hands… The wetness should be Lin Yi's urine!! "Lin Yi, I'll kill you!!"
With that utterance of rage and disgust, Xiaoxiao frantically ran out the bathroom, not staying with Lin Yi any longer…
Pinliang and Xiaofu, on the other hand, had been observing everything… Pinliang knew that things had gone completely south after Lin Yi used that same move.
As expected, Xiaoxiao was soaked with urine... she had to be absolutely furious.
Xiaoxiao stood by the water faucet outside the bathroom and washed her hair and face as if her life depended on it. Her body had pee-stains as well, but there wasn't much she could do about that… She couldn't just wash her clothes, could she? People would be able to see through them if they were wet.
For the time being, she settled on cleaning her hair and face before going down the stairs and directly into her car. She was planning on buying herself a change of clothes and getting a shower at a hotel- she felt like going on a rampage from the pee on her body!
The Audi TT's engine roared, and Xiaoxiao vanished, leaving a trail of smoke behind along with Pinliang and Xiaofu's bitter and speechless faces.
Xiaoxiao should be raging right now- the two hoped that she wouldn't be directing that rage at them when the time came…
"You two, come here!" Lin Yi was equally shocked by Xiaoxiao's presence himself- never would he have thought that it'd be Xiaoxiao who came into the washroom! He did, however, have an idea what was going on after seeing the phone in her hands.
So that was why she'd been so kind that morning, asking if he was thirsty or not, and even supplying him with her own water… She wanted to film him in the washroom!
Lin Yi did feel rather awkward about the whole raining on Xiaoxiao incident- she wasn't Pinliang or Xiaofu, after all. She was a girl. As impure as her intentions may be, his move against her might've been too perverted.
He decided to let it go- it was a nice opportunity for her to learn a lesson and stop bothering him all the time.
But Lin Yi didn't plan on letting go the two sentries outside the washroom. Obviously, Xiaoxiao was the mastermind, and these two were accomplices! Why else would they be here, watching the washroom entrance?
Pinliang and Xiaofu looked at each other, very bitter smiles on both their faces. They'd thought that Lin Yi's attention would be completely occupied with Xiaoxiao after she'd taken his picture, that they, the sentries, would be excluded from the conflict… Now that Xiaoxiao wasn't here anymore they were left to deal with Lin Yi.
Pinliang wanted to make a run for it, but he understood quite clearly that as long as he was a class five student he'd never escape the clutches of Lin Yi. Since he'd have to get beaten up by the guy regardless then might as well get it over with right now…
With lowered heads, Pinliang and Xiaofu walked into the washroom a little timidly. "Boss Lin Yi… It's not our fault, it was Feng Xiaoxiao who forced us to help…"
"Is that so?" Lin Yi said faintly.
"Yes, it was her!" Pinliang nodded quickly. "Boss Lin Yi, you don't know how powerful Feng Xiaoxiao was back then! She's the fourth and last ranking of us Big Four, but that's because she's a girl! She's a lot stronger than us!"
Pinliang wanted to divert Lin YI's attention back onto Xiaoxiao and get him to focus on her- they'd be safe that way.
"Oh? Really?" Lin Yi said, his eyes on Pinliang. He wanted to have an idea of who this Feng Xiaoxiao was anyway- he was starting to get tired of her antics.
"That's right. A guy tried to harass her once, and she burst his balls with a kick… Also, a thug who came into the school, a mugger- she stabbed him and disabled him…" Pinliang said. "That's the situation, Boss Lin! She's on a different level from us, we can't say no to her orders…"
"I see!" Lin Yi nodded. "Let's put this behind us then!"
"Thank you, Boss Lin! Thank you!" Pinliang and Xiaofu were overjoyed that Lin Yi was letting them go.
"Don't get too happy so soon- we're putting this behind us, but there's something else." Lin Yi said faintly. "Even if she forced you into helping her, what do you think will happen if I told her about your experience of the pee rain, that you guys didn't warn her of the danger and just let her come walking in with that risk… Would your balls get crushed too, you think?"
"Wha?!" Pinliang couldn't believe his ears- he wasn't expecting Lin Yi to threaten him!
But it was definitely a terrifying thought- he'd die a horrible death if Lin Yi told Xiaoxiao about that. The girl would probably hold a knife against his back and force him to eat shit in the toilet for an apology!
A deep chill went down Pinlaing's spine at the thought. Why didn't he just give Xiaoxiao that reminder?!
Chapter 409 - I'll Go Visit
Pinliang blamed himself in silence- he hadn't brought that up to Xiaoxiao because it was just too humiliating! Pinliang, Naipao, and himself amounted to three people, and still they got wrecked by one man! He'd never let out embarrassing information like that if he had a choice!
But that was now a decision he regretted- if he had known this was how it'd end then he'd inform Xiaoxiao no matter how humiliating it'd be! He was screwed now, if Xiaoxiao were to learn the truth it'd be an absolutely horrid end for him.
"Boss Lin… You wouldn't mess with us like that right…" Pinliang's face was bitter as he begged. He'd rather get a beating by Lin Yi as an alternative!
"Two choices for you. The first is that you kneel in the toilet and leave after ten minutes. That, or I tell Feng Xiaoxiao the truth." Lin Yi said.
"Alright, I'll kneel!" As disgusted at the pee-stained toilet floor Pinliang was, he'd prefer kneeling on it rather than have Lin Yi tell Xiaoxiao the truth. It'd be much more pleasant than getting dealt with by Xiaoxiao.
"Alright, I'm going." Lin Yi wasn't in the mood to be paying these two idiots any more attention, but he had to give them punishment once in a while. Whether they actually kneeled or not would have to depend on how aware of their situation they were. "You can try faking it, but remember I might be always with you, watching."
"Don't worry, Boss Lin!" Pinliang said as his hair stood up. He'd wanted to stroll off after Lin Yi left, but that reminder from him horrified Pinliang too much.
Thinking about it, Lin Yi did really seem like he was always with Pinliang- every time he had something pleasing happen to him Lin Yi had to be involved in messing that up… Pinliang didn't know what to say to this fate. Was Lin Yi someone god just decided to throw at him and ruin everything? "Can Xiaofu and I take turns kneeling? We need someone to keep watch…"
"Sure, as long as you two kneel for ten minutes each." Lin Yi turned and left with that. Xiaobo had taken the time for lunch to go visit Fen, who had put her past behind her already. She was a lot more open now, and it seemed like Xiaobo had made his decision about steadily getting busy with his relationship with Fen.
Lin Yi figured that he'd went to Fen to talk about college plans, and decided not to interrupt him. He dialed Tang Yin instead, only to find out that she wasn't at school, unexpectedly. She was taking care of and having lunch with her father at the hospital.
Mrs. Tang, on the other hand, had continued the food stall business behind school, and the task of getting food to Mr. Tang fell onto Tang Yin's shoulders, food that had been prepared along with the food Mrs. Tang would use for selling after setting her stall up at school.
"Why didn't you mention that? I could've just driven you over." Lin Yi frowned. Tang Yin going to the hospital on a public bus took quite a bit of time.
"I was afraid you were busy, didn't want to disturb you…" Tang Yin was evidently happy at what Lin Yi said to her. "I thought you were driving Xiaobo to go find Fen…"
"Why would I do that if he visits Fen, he's not even my wife." Lin Yi was speechless.
"Come on……" Tang Yin could hear the implication from that sentence- did that mean that Lin Yi would drive him if he were his wife? So what did it mean when he offered to drive her, was she his wife??
"Haha, I'll go get you. I'll take a look at how Uncle Tang's doing, too." Lin Yi didn't have much to do at school- there'd be trouble for him when Xiaoxiao returns, as well. Might as well get out of here first.
"Yeah, I'll wait for you in the hospital room." Tang Yin wanted to reject Lin Yi, since it was a busy period at lunchtime, and it'd waste Lin Yi's time to be running around like that, but she decided to accept his offer when he mentioned taking a look at her father's condition.
"See you later then." Lin Yi hung up and walked to the food stall behind the school to get his car.
With a sweet smile on her face, Tang Yin put the phone away and turned around to see her father smiling at her, much to her embarrassment.
Mr. and Mrs. Tang had been accepting of Lin Yi's forceful involvement with the Kangs long ago- after all, the only reason Tang Ju could undergo this operation in the first place was thanks to Lin Yi! He'd still be lying in bed at home if it weren't for Lin Yi's funding.
"Was that Lin Yi?" He asked.
"Yeah… He said he's coming to see how you're doing…" Tang Yin had always known about Lin Yi's medical abilities, but she'd assumed that it was just at the amateur level. Yet, that scene from yesterday, with Fatty Lai's crying and puffing on the ground, Tianyi trying to get on Lin Yi's good side, and Xuemin's respect for him shockingly told Tang Yin that it wasn't the case.
She'd never been able to calm her excited emotions down even until she reached the hospital.
It seemed that she'd still been underestimating Lin Yi… He wasn't what she thought him to be, a guy who used his family's wealth to stomp around like a rich kid tyrant. Lin Yi's cockiness was all due to his own abilities alone!
Why else would he have so many people's respect and acknowledgement, if that weren't the case? She didn't know about Fatty Lai, and he might've even been acting on heated impulse for all she knew, but what about Liu Tianyi and Guan Xuemin? They obviously wouldn't be acting impulsively.
It seemed like Lin Yi wasn't just someone who was good at medicine as an amateur- he had to be shockingly extraordinary! Tang Yin's newfound pride for Lin Yi found itself coupled with intimidation as her fragile, young girl's heart contemplated.
Lin Yi was a model of excellence- was she good enough to be with him? What if he didn't want her anymore? Her family wasn't rich, and she couldn't help him in anything… The only thing she really had going for her was just her above-average prettiness…
But there were plenty of pretty girls, so why did Lin Yi choose her? Tang Yin didn't want to think about this sort of stuff, since the two were still young and very far off from actually getting married, but Tang Yin couldn't help but make these considerations in the face of Lin Yi's brilliance…
Lin Yi walked over to the food street behind the school- he had his car parked in a special parking spot that the street vendors left for him daily. After all, he was a young master they wouldn't dare piss off.
Mrs. Tang's business, on the other hand, was bursting with prosperity- no one dared get jealous of her anymore, since it'd only get them killed. This included the instigator Zhang Biaoqian, who now treated Mrs. Tang with kindness. He didn't take Mrs. Tang's spot in the few days she was gone, too, welcoming her back with passion and greetings the moment she returned, also asking about what she'd been up to the last couple days.
As Mrs. Tang was basked in this kindness and respect she found herself to be more and more thankful towards Lin Yi- House Tang was now getting back up on its feet, and she believed that it'd only get better! Her business was prospering, her man had undergone the procedure… It wouldn't take long before he got to stand up again! He wouldn't be able to walk normally, but just a bit of a limp was fine! He could come help her with the food stall, too…
A smile formed on Mrs. Tang's face as she contemplated the prospects of hopeful happiness. She felt a couple years younger, and that was even reflected on the eyes of the other male vendors!
One could tell what sort of beauty Mrs. Tang used to have just by looking at her daughter- like mother like daughter, after all.
Yet no one dared to get flirty with Mrs. Tang… Everyone knew about the tyrannical young master she had for a son-in-law.
Chapter 410 - I'd Love To See It
Lin Yi noticed that Mrs. Tang had put her stand out already on the food street, and decided to go over and greet her with a smile. "Aunty, are you coming back to the business?"
"Yi! It's been a while! Your uncle Tang's alright now, so I'm putting my stand out again!" Mrs. Tang was about to start a short chat with Lin Yi when she saw him take out the keys for his car. "You're going out?"
"I'm going to get Tang Yin and also see how Uncle Tang's doing." Lin Yi nodded.
"Alright, you go ahead then! Remember to drive safely!" Mrs. Tang was bursting with joy at that response- Lin Yi was going to see her daughter! Seeing him treat her daughter so well was the best feeling she'd ever get. "Right, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, I'll eat later." Lin Yi said honestly.
"Just in time then, I have two skewers of barbequed chicken wings here, eat them first! Don't starve yourself." Mrs. Tang quickly seasoned the chicken wings before handing it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't reject the courtesy. He took the sticks of chicken skewers with a smile, nodded at Mrs. Tang, and got in the car…
Song Lingshan rushed to Songshan's First Hospital after receiving a report from an subordinate.
This was the sixth time. The sixth!
Lingshan rubbed at her forehead, the pressure getting to her.
In less than one week there'd been six cases of the homeless, beggars, and disabled losing a kidney and thrown near a hospital!
This wasn't just simple crime anymore- Lingshan conjectured that this was a criminal organization at work!
"What's the situation?" Getting out of the car, Lingshan noticed her subordinate Liu Wangli standing at a corner and preparing the police crime scene tape.
"Captain Song. The victim's been sent to the emergency room, and I've sent men to investigate the crime scene. This isn't the initial crime scene; the victim's just been dumped here after having his left kidney cut out. The crime probably started around four in the morning, and the victim's been placed here at around eleven in the morning. There'd been too many cars entering the hospital, and we haven't found a witness yet…" Wangli smiled bitterly as he reported what he'd found out through investigation, understanding how pressuring the stress was for Lingshan as well. It was the sixth case, and things were getting extremely serious. The upper-levels hadn't issued them a time limit yet, but it was coming sooner or later.
The victims may be the homeless, the beggars, and the disabled, but they were all equally important as the common man in Song Lingshan's eyes. It didn't matter what their position on the social ladder was, Lingshan would strive to break the case and bring the mastermind to justice regardless.
Lingshan nodded her head weakly at Wangli's report. "How's Liu Bojia?"
Liu Bojia was the victim of the psycho serial killer from before, the one who'd almost gotten killed. Bojia never revealed anything to the police, but Lingshan never loosened her focus and investigation on him!
A long time later, Lingshan managed to locate a suspicious clue- around six in the afternoon, on the day Bojia had been attacked, a phone call got through to the police station via a public phone in Bojia's living area.
According to the officer who'd received the phone call, the man who made the call sounded very frightened as he told him about a criminal kidney-selling organization, and that it was very likely that they were aware of his discovery. The man then requested protection from the police…
He wasn't being very clear with his information at the time, and refused to give his contact information when asked. With no options left, the officer asked for a police team to head to the public phone's number, but no one picked up anymore. Nothing was out of the ordinary when they arrived at that public phone, and that was the end of it.
The incident passed by without anyone paying much attention to it, but Lingshan now connected the clue to the current case after investigating the call records for that night!
A criminal organization of kidney-sellers… Were these six cases all linked with each other? Lingshan only felt that slightly even now that Bojia getting attacked was connected with the kidney cutting case.
"Bojia hadn't woken up yet, and he's living on the mechanical support for his breathing… The doctor said that he'd be done for instantly if that support ever got disconnected…" Wangli sighed and shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. He was telling Lingshan to give up on that lead.
Lingshan frowned, but there wasn't much she could do. She understood the type of situation Bojia was in, but still hoped for a miracle, even if that miracle only gave Bojia a moment's consciousness to give the police intel to work with! That miracle never came.
Before his current situation, Bojia would always stay silent when asked questions, as if he were terrified of something. Whenever he got tired of the questioning, he'd tell Lingshan and her colleagues that his family was already dead, that he was having it as tough as it got, that he didn't want to die and that he wanted Lingshan to let him go.
Bojia's injuries hadn't recovered at the time, and he was still hospitalized- as a result, Lingshan didn't rush things. She thought that Bojia would calm down and fortify himself mentally after getting out of the hospital, that she'd have a shot there in getting answers… when the unexpected happened.
A car horn sounded- it was Lin Yi, who wondered what the hell this Miss Song was doing, blocking the hospital entrance. Let him pass!
Every other car avoided the entrance when spotting Lingshan and Wangli in their police uniform, along with other police officers milling about. They'd all chosen the back door to gain entry into the hospital, but only Lin Yi was daring enough to honk at the police.
"What're you honking at, can't you take the back door?" Lingshan frowned, quite frustrated- this honking was coming out of nowhere and interrupting her thought process! She was trying to solve a case here!
"You think everybody's the same as you, entering the police team through the back door??" Lin Yi retorted, curling his lips.
(don't know if this works in english, but taking the backdoor is what Lin Yi says Lingshan did, using money and connections to get into the police force without getting in properly and honestly.)
She realized that it was Lin Yi honking at her- the words that followed made her face grow pale with anger. "What did you say?! Who're you calling a back-door walker!!"
"We both know who." Lin Yi said with a curl of his lips. "Get out of the way, I have something more important to do than talk to you!"
With that, Lin Yi stepped on the gas, intent on getting into the hospital.
"Wait!" Lingshan stood in front of Lin Yi's car all of a sudden, blocking him. The bigger the rush Lin Yi was in the more she wanted to obstruct him! "I have something to ask of you!"
"......" Lin Yi hit the brakes and stopped the car, speechless. "I say, you dumb woman, as bad as your case-solving rate is you shouldn't be thinking about suicide, right? Even if you wanted me to kill you with the car we should do it someplace isolated, right? What do you think you're doing, doing this here in front of all your subordinates! I won't be able to get away if I killed you!"
"You……" Lingshan was furious at this point. She gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Yi. "Call me a dumb woman or back-door walker again, and I'll give you hell!"
"You've been giving me hell since day one!" Lin Yi was amused. "So that's you being kind, apparently? Show me what hell is like then, I'd love to see it!"
Wangli cleared his throat- he couldn't watch this any longer. "Captain Song…" What was the captain thinking, bantering with Lin Yi in front of all her subordinates? What would they think of this behavior??
Chapter 407 - Caught In A Difficult Position
Pinliang went silent awkwardly, his face mopey. "It was Yao Yao? It's nothing then…"
Everyone else were looking down on Pinliang once more- so it was nothing if it was Mengyao, too? Why was this person so shameless, he was just yelling about making the bottle-thrower pay!
"It wasn't me, I didn't even finish my drink yet!" Mengyao frowned, obviously aware that Yushu was trying to mess with Pinliang- Even then, Mengyao didn't want to get misunderstood like that for nothing! Her, throwing a bottle at Pinliang? She would never bother hitting him, who did he think he was!
With that, Mengyao pulled her drink out from her desk and waved it in front of Yushu. "Would it kill you so stop causing trouble?? Don't make me pull your tongue out again!"
"Ugh… I'll stop, but you won't trick me into opening my mouth again..!" Yushu closed her mouth shut with her hands.
Meanwhile, Pinliang flared with rage- Yushu was clearly messing with him, but there was nothing he could do about that at all- he couldn't cross Chen Yushu!
Putting her brother aside, there was still the fact that she was Mengyao's best friend, her soulmate… He wouldn't really dare piss her off in the first place.
His insides were bursting with frustration- he had to channel this out on someone else! "I'm gonna count to three! The one who threw the bottle, you better show yourself or you'll regret it!"
Pinliang was really raging at this point- after multiple instances of suppressing that rage, it was now erupting in its entirety!
"Fine, fine! I threw it!" Xiaoxiao wasn't expecting Pinliang to be this worked up over something like that, and Lin Yi was looking at her vaguely, too. She decided to just admit to the bottle-throwing since Lin Yi would expose her even if she didn't.
That was incorrect, however, for Lin Yi didn't give two shits about something as trivial as this, especially when it was Pinliang who got hit on the head. He wouldn't care even if Pinliang died from it.
"Ah?!" Pinliang never thought that Xiaoxiao would be the one responsible! His face subtly twisted in agony as he considered his current position.
He didn't dare piss Lin Yi off, and he couldn't do anything to Mengyao or Yushu… But it was even more so when it was Xiaoxiao!
"Ah… lil sis Xiaoxiao, it's nothing… Ha…" Pinliang pressed his frustration down as he seated himself, almost trembling at all the pent up rage- one touch would explode him.
Yet he had no other options- if he couldn't go against these people, then he'd have to hide from them.
This little episode had cost him a lot of his honor and pride- all his classmates wanted to laugh, but tried their best to hold it in out of fear, much to Pinliang's frustration. He wouldn't have stood up in the first place if he'd known this was gonna happen! All three times he backed off with his tail between his legs!
"Fuck! Ever since Lin Yi came to our class nothing goes my way!" Pinliang angrily slammed a fist against the wall, the only target for him to vent his frustrations on.
"Hold it in, Liang Bro! The moment Pao comes back from the mountain it'll be Lin Yi's execution day!" Xiaofu had learned of Zhang Naipao's whereabouts at this point- he was quite excited himself for Naipao's return from the training.
"Yeah, but by the time he comes back it'll only be harder for me to get with Mengyao. Look at how ruined my relationship with her is right now!" Pinliang said angrily.
"Uh… But all those strategies didn't work…" Xiaofu might be a petty military strategist, but strategist he was- he specialized in shameless attacks. "But Liang Bro, you need to hurry up! We're graduating soon, and it'll be really hard by the time you're a college student… You'd have trouble just meeting her if you end up in a different department!"
"You're right, I need to hurry!" Pinliang nodded. "You have any ideas?"
"The ideas I have now don't work, and I'll need time before I can come up with a doable one!" Xiaofu shook his head in response.
"Then forget it, we'll keep thinking!" Pinliang was at a loss himself.
The last morning class ended, and Lin Yi finally stood up from his desk to exit to classroom before lunch, much to Xiaoxiao's delight. She quickly gestured to Pinliang and called him. "You go first and clear the bathroom of other boys! I don't wanna see anyone peeing in there when I go in!"
Having received the instructions, Pinliang rushed to the washroom with Xiaofu- they had to clear the place of people before Lin Yi arrived! Xiaoxiao would definitely be displeased if she came in to see anyone else in there.
"Get out, get out! Everybody get the hell out!" Pinliang didn't dare do anything to Lin Yi, but these students were but fodder to him- he didn't need to say much to get everyone running out the bathroom…
But life was full of exceptions. A boy with a cigarette in his mouth came walking out from one of the stalls, his eyes glaring at Pinliang. "I say, Liangy, you're being pretty cocky aren't you? Kicking me out when I'm smoking here?"
It was Zou Ruoming. Others may fear the name of Zhong Pinliang, but not him- he was but annoyed that Pinliang was interrupting his smoking session.
Under normal circumstances, Pinliang really wouldn't want to get into a head-on confrontation with Ruoming, but today was different. He curled his lips after Ruoming finished talking. "Ming Bro, Xiaoxiao's got something to do here, don't say I didn't warn you- if you wanna stay here and interrupt her then carry on."
"Ah? Xiaoxiao's coming here?" Ruoming blinked, his cigarette dropping down onto the floor with a pop. He didn't care. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
With that, he ran out the washroom without bothering with Pinliang.
Pinliang smiled proudly as Ruoming ran out the room, not remembering that he was running from someone else. Having completely cleared the bathroom up, Pinliang stood guard with Xiaofu outside, sentrying both sides of the bathroom door like guards, stopping anyone who tried to enter.
Lin Yi walked up to the washroom and saw the two standing at the sides of the entrance, confused. "What're you two doing?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, we're just waiting for somebody…" Pinliang explained flatteringly. "Boss Lin, you wanted to use the washroom? Please, enter!"
Lin Yi frowned. What the hell was up with these two idiots? He walked inside anyway to find that there wasn't anyone in there, prompting Lin Yi to heighten his awareness… Both Pinliang and Xiaofu were pieces of shit- something had to be up with them standing guard outside like that.
"Yo, what happened? Is he inside?" Xiaoxiao had been tracing Lin Yi step for step, but kept her distance in fear that Lin Yi would spot her- she didn't see if Lin Yi entered the washroom or not.
"He's inside, lil sis Xiaoxiao, and the whole place is clear. You can go in rest assured that us two will stand guard for you!" Pinliang promised with a pat on his chest.
Chapter 408 - Another Bathroom Rain
Xiaoxiao nodded, satisfied. "Very good. I'll go in then, you guys keep watch!"
"Of course, lil sis Xiaoxiao!" Pinliang nodded.
Xiaoxiao took her phone out and turned the camera on before tip-toeing into the men's washroom… To tell the truth, she was actually feeling pretty tense, this being her first time in the men's washroom and all. She'd been rebellious and feisty these couple years, even stabbing someone without blinking, but the thought of entering a place like this still put a blush onto her face.
Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and convinced herself that she only needed to walk over and take a quick shot- the quality didn't matter since it was something for threatening Lin Yi anyway.
Lin Yi may currently be peeing, but he was still on full alert- his heart tensed up upon hearing the footsteps come from behind him. There wasn't glass in front of him this time around, however, and he wasn't able to check what was behind him through the reflection.
But Lin Yi didn't even need to think about it to know that this was related to Pinliang- why else would he be standing outside with Xiaofu like that? What Lin Yi didn't understand, however, was why this Pinliang was so retarded. Using the same move twice? Didn't he remember his 'artificial rain' experience from last time?
There was a very slight warning coming from the jade- this meant that while this person wasn't here to murder him, there was still some hostile intent. Having confirmed that this person behind him was an enemy, Lin Yi decided to just swing his body around and do what he did last time…
If he insisted on playing the same game, then Lin Yi would just entertain him with the same victory.
"Ah!!" Xiaoxiao had her eyes closed as she walked up to film Lin Yi when it started raining all of a sudden, much to Xiaoxiao's surprise. She opened her eyes after crying out to see what exactly was going on, only to completely pale in realization.
This wasn't rain… It was… It was Lin Yi's pee!!!
"Aaah!!!" Xiaoxiao shrieked once more before subconsciously covering her eyes with her now wet hands… The wetness should be Lin Yi's urine!! "Lin Yi, I'll kill you!!"
With that utterance of rage and disgust, Xiaoxiao frantically ran out the bathroom, not staying with Lin Yi any longer…
Pinliang and Xiaofu, on the other hand, had been observing everything… Pinliang knew that things had gone completely south after Lin Yi used that same move.
As expected, Xiaoxiao was soaked with urine... she had to be absolutely furious.
Xiaoxiao stood by the water faucet outside the bathroom and washed her hair and face as if her life depended on it. Her body had pee-stains as well, but there wasn't much she could do about that… She couldn't just wash her clothes, could she? People would be able to see through them if they were wet.
For the time being, she settled on cleaning her hair and face before going down the stairs and directly into her car. She was planning on buying herself a change of clothes and getting a shower at a hotel- she felt like going on a rampage from the pee on her body!
The Audi TT's engine roared, and Xiaoxiao vanished, leaving a trail of smoke behind along with Pinliang and Xiaofu's bitter and speechless faces.
Xiaoxiao should be raging right now- the two hoped that she wouldn't be directing that rage at them when the time came…
"You two, come here!" Lin Yi was equally shocked by Xiaoxiao's presence himself- never would he have thought that it'd be Xiaoxiao who came into the washroom! He did, however, have an idea what was going on after seeing the phone in her hands.
So that was why she'd been so kind that morning, asking if he was thirsty or not, and even supplying him with her own water… She wanted to film him in the washroom!
Lin Yi did feel rather awkward about the whole raining on Xiaoxiao incident- she wasn't Pinliang or Xiaofu, after all. She was a girl. As impure as her intentions may be, his move against her might've been too perverted.
He decided to let it go- it was a nice opportunity for her to learn a lesson and stop bothering him all the time.
But Lin Yi didn't plan on letting go the two sentries outside the washroom. Obviously, Xiaoxiao was the mastermind, and these two were accomplices! Why else would they be here, watching the washroom entrance?
Pinliang and Xiaofu looked at each other, very bitter smiles on both their faces. They'd thought that Lin Yi's attention would be completely occupied with Xiaoxiao after she'd taken his picture, that they, the sentries, would be excluded from the conflict… Now that Xiaoxiao wasn't here anymore they were left to deal with Lin Yi.
Pinliang wanted to make a run for it, but he understood quite clearly that as long as he was a class five student he'd never escape the clutches of Lin Yi. Since he'd have to get beaten up by the guy regardless then might as well get it over with right now…
With lowered heads, Pinliang and Xiaofu walked into the washroom a little timidly. "Boss Lin Yi… It's not our fault, it was Feng Xiaoxiao who forced us to help…"
"Is that so?" Lin Yi said faintly.
"Yes, it was her!" Pinliang nodded quickly. "Boss Lin Yi, you don't know how powerful Feng Xiaoxiao was back then! She's the fourth and last ranking of us Big Four, but that's because she's a girl! She's a lot stronger than us!"
Pinliang wanted to divert Lin YI's attention back onto Xiaoxiao and get him to focus on her- they'd be safe that way.
"Oh? Really?" Lin Yi said, his eyes on Pinliang. He wanted to have an idea of who this Feng Xiaoxiao was anyway- he was starting to get tired of her antics.
"That's right. A guy tried to harass her once, and she burst his balls with a kick… Also, a thug who came into the school, a mugger- she stabbed him and disabled him…" Pinliang said. "That's the situation, Boss Lin! She's on a different level from us, we can't say no to her orders…"
"I see!" Lin Yi nodded. "Let's put this behind us then!"
"Thank you, Boss Lin! Thank you!" Pinliang and Xiaofu were overjoyed that Lin Yi was letting them go.
"Don't get too happy so soon- we're putting this behind us, but there's something else." Lin Yi said faintly. "Even if she forced you into helping her, what do you think will happen if I told her about your experience of the pee rain, that you guys didn't warn her of the danger and just let her come walking in with that risk… Would your balls get crushed too, you think?"
"Wha?!" Pinliang couldn't believe his ears- he wasn't expecting Lin Yi to threaten him!
But it was definitely a terrifying thought- he'd die a horrible death if Lin Yi told Xiaoxiao about that. The girl would probably hold a knife against his back and force him to eat shit in the toilet for an apology!
A deep chill went down Pinlaing's spine at the thought. Why didn't he just give Xiaoxiao that reminder?!
Chapter 409 - I'll Go Visit
Pinliang blamed himself in silence- he hadn't brought that up to Xiaoxiao because it was just too humiliating! Pinliang, Naipao, and himself amounted to three people, and still they got wrecked by one man! He'd never let out embarrassing information like that if he had a choice!
But that was now a decision he regretted- if he had known this was how it'd end then he'd inform Xiaoxiao no matter how humiliating it'd be! He was screwed now, if Xiaoxiao were to learn the truth it'd be an absolutely horrid end for him.
"Boss Lin… You wouldn't mess with us like that right…" Pinliang's face was bitter as he begged. He'd rather get a beating by Lin Yi as an alternative!
"Two choices for you. The first is that you kneel in the toilet and leave after ten minutes. That, or I tell Feng Xiaoxiao the truth." Lin Yi said.
"Alright, I'll kneel!" As disgusted at the pee-stained toilet floor Pinliang was, he'd prefer kneeling on it rather than have Lin Yi tell Xiaoxiao the truth. It'd be much more pleasant than getting dealt with by Xiaoxiao.
"Alright, I'm going." Lin Yi wasn't in the mood to be paying these two idiots any more attention, but he had to give them punishment once in a while. Whether they actually kneeled or not would have to depend on how aware of their situation they were. "You can try faking it, but remember I might be always with you, watching."
"Don't worry, Boss Lin!" Pinliang said as his hair stood up. He'd wanted to stroll off after Lin Yi left, but that reminder from him horrified Pinliang too much.
Thinking about it, Lin Yi did really seem like he was always with Pinliang- every time he had something pleasing happen to him Lin Yi had to be involved in messing that up… Pinliang didn't know what to say to this fate. Was Lin Yi someone god just decided to throw at him and ruin everything? "Can Xiaofu and I take turns kneeling? We need someone to keep watch…"
"Sure, as long as you two kneel for ten minutes each." Lin Yi turned and left with that. Xiaobo had taken the time for lunch to go visit Fen, who had put her past behind her already. She was a lot more open now, and it seemed like Xiaobo had made his decision about steadily getting busy with his relationship with Fen.
Lin Yi figured that he'd went to Fen to talk about college plans, and decided not to interrupt him. He dialed Tang Yin instead, only to find out that she wasn't at school, unexpectedly. She was taking care of and having lunch with her father at the hospital.
Mrs. Tang, on the other hand, had continued the food stall business behind school, and the task of getting food to Mr. Tang fell onto Tang Yin's shoulders, food that had been prepared along with the food Mrs. Tang would use for selling after setting her stall up at school.
"Why didn't you mention that? I could've just driven you over." Lin Yi frowned. Tang Yin going to the hospital on a public bus took quite a bit of time.
"I was afraid you were busy, didn't want to disturb you…" Tang Yin was evidently happy at what Lin Yi said to her. "I thought you were driving Xiaobo to go find Fen…"
"Why would I do that if he visits Fen, he's not even my wife." Lin Yi was speechless.
"Come on……" Tang Yin could hear the implication from that sentence- did that mean that Lin Yi would drive him if he were his wife? So what did it mean when he offered to drive her, was she his wife??
"Haha, I'll go get you. I'll take a look at how Uncle Tang's doing, too." Lin Yi didn't have much to do at school- there'd be trouble for him when Xiaoxiao returns, as well. Might as well get out of here first.
"Yeah, I'll wait for you in the hospital room." Tang Yin wanted to reject Lin Yi, since it was a busy period at lunchtime, and it'd waste Lin Yi's time to be running around like that, but she decided to accept his offer when he mentioned taking a look at her father's condition.
"See you later then." Lin Yi hung up and walked to the food stall behind the school to get his car.
With a sweet smile on her face, Tang Yin put the phone away and turned around to see her father smiling at her, much to her embarrassment.
Mr. and Mrs. Tang had been accepting of Lin Yi's forceful involvement with the Kangs long ago- after all, the only reason Tang Ju could undergo this operation in the first place was thanks to Lin Yi! He'd still be lying in bed at home if it weren't for Lin Yi's funding.
"Was that Lin Yi?" He asked.
"Yeah… He said he's coming to see how you're doing…" Tang Yin had always known about Lin Yi's medical abilities, but she'd assumed that it was just at the amateur level. Yet, that scene from yesterday, with Fatty Lai's crying and puffing on the ground, Tianyi trying to get on Lin Yi's good side, and Xuemin's respect for him shockingly told Tang Yin that it wasn't the case.
She'd never been able to calm her excited emotions down even until she reached the hospital.
It seemed that she'd still been underestimating Lin Yi… He wasn't what she thought him to be, a guy who used his family's wealth to stomp around like a rich kid tyrant. Lin Yi's cockiness was all due to his own abilities alone!
Why else would he have so many people's respect and acknowledgement, if that weren't the case? She didn't know about Fatty Lai, and he might've even been acting on heated impulse for all she knew, but what about Liu Tianyi and Guan Xuemin? They obviously wouldn't be acting impulsively.
It seemed like Lin Yi wasn't just someone who was good at medicine as an amateur- he had to be shockingly extraordinary! Tang Yin's newfound pride for Lin Yi found itself coupled with intimidation as her fragile, young girl's heart contemplated.
Lin Yi was a model of excellence- was she good enough to be with him? What if he didn't want her anymore? Her family wasn't rich, and she couldn't help him in anything… The only thing she really had going for her was just her above-average prettiness…
But there were plenty of pretty girls, so why did Lin Yi choose her? Tang Yin didn't want to think about this sort of stuff, since the two were still young and very far off from actually getting married, but Tang Yin couldn't help but make these considerations in the face of Lin Yi's brilliance…
Lin Yi walked over to the food street behind the school- he had his car parked in a special parking spot that the street vendors left for him daily. After all, he was a young master they wouldn't dare piss off.
Mrs. Tang's business, on the other hand, was bursting with prosperity- no one dared get jealous of her anymore, since it'd only get them killed. This included the instigator Zhang Biaoqian, who now treated Mrs. Tang with kindness. He didn't take Mrs. Tang's spot in the few days she was gone, too, welcoming her back with passion and greetings the moment she returned, also asking about what she'd been up to the last couple days.
As Mrs. Tang was basked in this kindness and respect she found herself to be more and more thankful towards Lin Yi- House Tang was now getting back up on its feet, and she believed that it'd only get better! Her business was prospering, her man had undergone the procedure… It wouldn't take long before he got to stand up again! He wouldn't be able to walk normally, but just a bit of a limp was fine! He could come help her with the food stall, too…
A smile formed on Mrs. Tang's face as she contemplated the prospects of hopeful happiness. She felt a couple years younger, and that was even reflected on the eyes of the other male vendors!
One could tell what sort of beauty Mrs. Tang used to have just by looking at her daughter- like mother like daughter, after all.
Yet no one dared to get flirty with Mrs. Tang… Everyone knew about the tyrannical young master she had for a son-in-law.
Chapter 410 - I'd Love To See It
Lin Yi noticed that Mrs. Tang had put her stand out already on the food street, and decided to go over and greet her with a smile. "Aunty, are you coming back to the business?"
"Yi! It's been a while! Your uncle Tang's alright now, so I'm putting my stand out again!" Mrs. Tang was about to start a short chat with Lin Yi when she saw him take out the keys for his car. "You're going out?"
"I'm going to get Tang Yin and also see how Uncle Tang's doing." Lin Yi nodded.
"Alright, you go ahead then! Remember to drive safely!" Mrs. Tang was bursting with joy at that response- Lin Yi was going to see her daughter! Seeing him treat her daughter so well was the best feeling she'd ever get. "Right, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, I'll eat later." Lin Yi said honestly.
"Just in time then, I have two skewers of barbequed chicken wings here, eat them first! Don't starve yourself." Mrs. Tang quickly seasoned the chicken wings before handing it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't reject the courtesy. He took the sticks of chicken skewers with a smile, nodded at Mrs. Tang, and got in the car…
Song Lingshan rushed to Songshan's First Hospital after receiving a report from an subordinate.
This was the sixth time. The sixth!
Lingshan rubbed at her forehead, the pressure getting to her.
In less than one week there'd been six cases of the homeless, beggars, and disabled losing a kidney and thrown near a hospital!
This wasn't just simple crime anymore- Lingshan conjectured that this was a criminal organization at work!
"What's the situation?" Getting out of the car, Lingshan noticed her subordinate Liu Wangli standing at a corner and preparing the police crime scene tape.
"Captain Song. The victim's been sent to the emergency room, and I've sent men to investigate the crime scene. This isn't the initial crime scene; the victim's just been dumped here after having his left kidney cut out. The crime probably started around four in the morning, and the victim's been placed here at around eleven in the morning. There'd been too many cars entering the hospital, and we haven't found a witness yet…" Wangli smiled bitterly as he reported what he'd found out through investigation, understanding how pressuring the stress was for Lingshan as well. It was the sixth case, and things were getting extremely serious. The upper-levels hadn't issued them a time limit yet, but it was coming sooner or later.
The victims may be the homeless, the beggars, and the disabled, but they were all equally important as the common man in Song Lingshan's eyes. It didn't matter what their position on the social ladder was, Lingshan would strive to break the case and bring the mastermind to justice regardless.
Lingshan nodded her head weakly at Wangli's report. "How's Liu Bojia?"
Liu Bojia was the victim of the psycho serial killer from before, the one who'd almost gotten killed. Bojia never revealed anything to the police, but Lingshan never loosened her focus and investigation on him!
A long time later, Lingshan managed to locate a suspicious clue- around six in the afternoon, on the day Bojia had been attacked, a phone call got through to the police station via a public phone in Bojia's living area.
According to the officer who'd received the phone call, the man who made the call sounded very frightened as he told him about a criminal kidney-selling organization, and that it was very likely that they were aware of his discovery. The man then requested protection from the police…
He wasn't being very clear with his information at the time, and refused to give his contact information when asked. With no options left, the officer asked for a police team to head to the public phone's number, but no one picked up anymore. Nothing was out of the ordinary when they arrived at that public phone, and that was the end of it.
The incident passed by without anyone paying much attention to it, but Lingshan now connected the clue to the current case after investigating the call records for that night!
A criminal organization of kidney-sellers… Were these six cases all linked with each other? Lingshan only felt that slightly even now that Bojia getting attacked was connected with the kidney cutting case.
"Bojia hadn't woken up yet, and he's living on the mechanical support for his breathing… The doctor said that he'd be done for instantly if that support ever got disconnected…" Wangli sighed and shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. He was telling Lingshan to give up on that lead.
Lingshan frowned, but there wasn't much she could do. She understood the type of situation Bojia was in, but still hoped for a miracle, even if that miracle only gave Bojia a moment's consciousness to give the police intel to work with! That miracle never came.
Before his current situation, Bojia would always stay silent when asked questions, as if he were terrified of something. Whenever he got tired of the questioning, he'd tell Lingshan and her colleagues that his family was already dead, that he was having it as tough as it got, that he didn't want to die and that he wanted Lingshan to let him go.
Bojia's injuries hadn't recovered at the time, and he was still hospitalized- as a result, Lingshan didn't rush things. She thought that Bojia would calm down and fortify himself mentally after getting out of the hospital, that she'd have a shot there in getting answers… when the unexpected happened.
A car horn sounded- it was Lin Yi, who wondered what the hell this Miss Song was doing, blocking the hospital entrance. Let him pass!
Every other car avoided the entrance when spotting Lingshan and Wangli in their police uniform, along with other police officers milling about. They'd all chosen the back door to gain entry into the hospital, but only Lin Yi was daring enough to honk at the police.
"What're you honking at, can't you take the back door?" Lingshan frowned, quite frustrated- this honking was coming out of nowhere and interrupting her thought process! She was trying to solve a case here!
"You think everybody's the same as you, entering the police team through the back door??" Lin Yi retorted, curling his lips.
(don't know if this works in english, but taking the backdoor is what Lin Yi says Lingshan did, using money and connections to get into the police force without getting in properly and honestly.)
She realized that it was Lin Yi honking at her- the words that followed made her face grow pale with anger. "What did you say?! Who're you calling a back-door walker!!"
"We both know who." Lin Yi said with a curl of his lips. "Get out of the way, I have something more important to do than talk to you!"
With that, Lin Yi stepped on the gas, intent on getting into the hospital.
"Wait!" Lingshan stood in front of Lin Yi's car all of a sudden, blocking him. The bigger the rush Lin Yi was in the more she wanted to obstruct him! "I have something to ask of you!"
"......" Lin Yi hit the brakes and stopped the car, speechless. "I say, you dumb woman, as bad as your case-solving rate is you shouldn't be thinking about suicide, right? Even if you wanted me to kill you with the car we should do it someplace isolated, right? What do you think you're doing, doing this here in front of all your subordinates! I won't be able to get away if I killed you!"
"You……" Lingshan was furious at this point. She gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Yi. "Call me a dumb woman or back-door walker again, and I'll give you hell!"
"You've been giving me hell since day one!" Lin Yi was amused. "So that's you being kind, apparently? Show me what hell is like then, I'd love to see it!"
Wangli cleared his throat- he couldn't watch this any longer. "Captain Song…" What was the captain thinking, bantering with Lin Yi in front of all her subordinates? What would they think of this behavior??
