âSecretary Liang is awesome. Iâll give you a thumbs up.â
âWhy are you still being cheeky at a time like this?â Liang Ruoxu was furious. âIâll make a call now to settle this now.â
âDonât be anxious. Doing this will alert the enemy,â Lin Yi said.
âLast night, I taught Sun Manlou and the others a lesson. Normally, after such a thing happened, they wouldnât dare to attack me again. Moreover, theyâve now resorted to such an extreme method, so there must be something fishy about this matter.â
After pondering for a moment, Liang Ruoxu said,
âYou mean to say that the person behind Sun Manlou is behind this?â
âThatâs what I think, but thereâs no evidence.â Lin Yi said.
âDo you still remember that when I came here, you told me that the northeast is the Wang familyâs territory?â
Upon hearing this, Liang Ruoxu felt enlightened.
âAre you saying that Sun Manlou is affiliated with the Wang family in Yanjing?â
âItâs very likely. Sun Manlou wouldnât have developed to this extent without a powerful backer. Moreover, this is the Wang familyâs territory, so there might be some connection between the two of them. I need you to help me investigate this.â
âAlright, no problem. 1â11 give you an answer tomorrow,â Liang Ruoxu said.
âIf this is really the Wang familyâs doing, we can use this opportunity to catch them off guard.â
âThatâs unlikely.â Lin Yi said with a serious expression.
âWe succeeded last time because the Wang family underestimated us. They wonât leave any evidence behind this time. Even if we are sure that they instigated this, we donât have any evidence.â
âSo what are you going to do?â
âGive them a taste of their own medicine. First, investigate the relationship between Sun Manlou and the Wang family. Then, investigate the Wang familyâs movements. You donât have to do anything else.â
âThen what about your injury? We canât just forget about that, right?â
âDonât worry, I know what Iâm doing. The reason why I didnât ask you to come here because Iâm waiting for an opportunity.â
âWhat chance?â
âThe other partyâs goal was to kill me, but they didnât succeed at the ski resort.
Iâm predicting that theyâll make another move in the next few days.â
âYou mean theyâll come to the hospital to finish you off?â
âThatâs possible. Thatâs why I didnât want you to come over. Once my identity is exposed, it will alert the enemy.â
âDo you need me to call the provincial military?â
âYou donât need anything. Just do your own thing. 1â11 call you if something happens.â
âOkay, then be careful.â
âDonât worry, nothing will happen.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After hanging up on Liang Ruoxu, Lin Yi called Ji Qingyan.
First, they talked about Lingyun Group Chaoyang Group. Then, she asked about Lin Yiâs situation. They chatted about meaningless topics just to pass the time. Half an hour later, An Ning returned and Lin Yi hung up.
She bought a lot of food, but most of them were light snacks.
âWhereâs Sijin?â
âShe still has work tomorrow, so I asked her to go back.â Lin Yi said.
âYou should go back after youâre done eating. Your father is also hospitalized here. Itâs not good for you to come here every day.â
âThings are going much better on my dadâs side. My mom can take care of him alone,â An Ning said.
âYouâre all alone here, just by yourself. If I donât come to see you, wonât you become a âleft-behind youthâ?â
âYouâre right. After all, both of us are your fathers. They have to be filial.â
An Ningâs expression changed, feeling awkward and uneasy.
âEven at a time like this, you havenât forgotten about the bet.â
âHow can 1 forget such a big thing?â Lin Yi said.
âNow that thereâs no one around, you can keep your promise.â
âYouâre really heartless. I cast aside my father and came to take care of you. Yet, youâre actually discussing this bet with me. Donât you have a conscience?!â
âOkay, then I donât need you to take care of me. Just honor the bet.â
âUhâ¦â An Ning looked embarrassed. âNo, I have to take care of you.â
âIf you stay and take care of me, our father-daughter relationship will be set in stone.â
Because he suspected that the two people who assassinated him might come over in the next few days, Lin Yi didnât want An Ning to stay here in case she got roped up in the trouble.
âAlright, alright, if you say itâs settled, itâs settled.â
An Ning gave in and started opening the items they had bought, preparing to have a meal with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was speechless.
Why didnât she refute?
âYouâre admitting to it?â
âI admit to it,â An Ning said. âDo you want me to call you âDaddyâ now to make you feel good?â
F*ck!
In fact, Lin Yi wasnât particularly interested in the father-daughter relationship thing. After all, those internet-famous models often called him that just to get closer to him.
However, now An Aning was insisting on staying in the hospital room to take care of him, which made things a bit tricky.
Even so, Lin Yi couldnât say anything.
She was being kind. If he kept chasing her away, she would be sad.
Although Lin Yiâs arm could still move, An Ning fed him the entire meal.
Lin Yi had never thought that the first person to feed him would be someone other than Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu.
Although his injuries were not serious, she still had to get an IV drip to reduce the inflammation at night. An Ning stayed behind and prepared to help Lin Yi watch the drip so that she could call the nurse if it ran low.
In reality, An Ning did not even need to do these tasks. Zhang Dayong had already reminded the nurse several times.
If something went wrong at a time like this, these nurses would be fired.
In the dead of the night, the cold moonlight shone from outside into the ward.
An Ning curled up and fell asleep on the bed beside him.
Lin Yi felt lucky to have met such a woman in such a strange city.
However, it also seemed to be a spot of misfortune.
Bingcheng, Jiangbei, Wangjiang Villa.
The Sun brothers sat on the sofa while Zheng Kunpeng sat at the side.
The two people who attacked Lin Yi stood in front of the three of them with nervous expressions.
The famous Sun Manlou was right in front of them. They wanted to control their emotions and try to calm themselves down, but they couldnât.
To these gangsters, Sun Manlou was their idol. They could not remain calm in front of him.
âAre you sure you hit Lin Yi?â
Sun Manlou held a cigarette and asked expressionlessly.
âPositive, but I donât know why he reacted in advance, so we missed his vitals and only hit his shoulder.â
The man looked nervous because he couldnât tell what Sun Manlou was thinking.
âWe canât determine the exact extent of the damage yet. If we need to, we can go to the hospital to take a look..â
