âChase after him!â
âDonât chase him.â Lin Yi covered his wound and said with difficulty.
âYou wonât be able to catch him⦠Hissâ¦â
Lin Yi sucked in a breath of cold air and leaned against the car.
The wound on her lower abdomen kept bleeding and he fell to the ground.
âMr. Lin, how are you? Can you hold on? Iâll send you to the hospital.â
Mina Ito rushed over to check on Lin Yiâs injuries.
Originally, she didnât want to get involved, preferring to let the two settle things fairly.
But she hadnât anticipated that the foreignerâs skills would be so exceptional.
He was a B-class fighter!
Encountering such a person in the city was rare.
And Mr. Lin, with his C-class skills, managing to hold his own against him was even more astonishing.
âI wonât die from this,â Lin Yi said, gritting his teeth against the pain. âBut I might need a few stitches.â
âIâll take you to the hospital right now.â
Lin Yi was helped into the car, and Mina Ito floored the gas pedal, heading to the nearest hospital, Toyo Miharu Hospital. She also informed Caie Mitsui about their situation.
In less than twenty minutes, Mina Ito had the car at the hospital, and Lin Yi was taken to the emergency room.
It took almost an hour to get the wound stitched up.
When Lin Yi came out, Caie Mitsui was already at the hospital, holding his hand with tears in her eyes.
âHow do you feel? It must hurt a lot. Itâs all my fault for dragging you into this.â
âItâs just a minor injury. Iâm used to it.â
Lin Yi took a deep breath. âI estimate that in two or three days, Iâll be able to move around. Donât worry.â
Caie Mitsui wasnât one to be overly sentimental. She shifted her position, sitting beside Lin Yi.
âI heard from Mina that the person who attacked you was a foreigner. Is he connected to this matter?â
âMore than just connected,â Lin Yi said.
âRecently, a lot has happened, from Qazar to Shianggang, and now the Toyo Yamaguchi-gumi. A series of international incidents are all linked to them. I just havenât figured out who these people are yet.â
âAll these incidents are connected to them?â
Caie Mitsui didnât know what had happened in Qazar and Shianggang, but from Lin Yiâs tone, she could tell the organization behind that man was formidable.
And since they dared to target her, it meant they werenât afraid of the Mitsui family, which was not a good sign.
âIâll notify the relevant authorities to see if they can find any information.â
âItâs useless. Their influence is far greater than you imagine. They might even have infiltrated Sunrise Landâs official circles, so donât waste your efforts,â Lin Yi said.
âInstead, you should focus on consolidating the Yamaguchi-gumiâs forces. That would also be a form of protection for you.â
âBut the Yamaguchi-gumiâs power only works domestically. Internationally, they wonât be effective.â
âYou have the E-class serum, which is your foundation,â Lin Yi said.
âYou can use this serum to enhance your influence on the global stage.â
âI understand what you mean. Iâll take care of it.â
Caie Mitsui stood up, picked up a towel from nearby, and gently wiped Lin Yiâs body while speaking softly.
âNow, stop worrying about my issues, or Iâll feel guilty forever.â
âItâs my duty. No matter when or what happens, Iâll always protect you.â
Lin Yi raised his hand and tucked a stray lock of hair behind Caie Mitsuiâs ear.
The synonym for humility is endless bonds.
In this relationship, Caie Mitsui was his bond.
âThank you, I love you.â
Caie Mitsui leaned in and kissed him gently. âBut now, you need to rest well.â
Lin Yi nodded, lying silently on the bed.
But his mind didnât stop working. He kept recalling the fight with Walker.
On Walkerâs black folding knife, there was a fingernail-sized mark.
But because of the critical situation, he didnât get a good look at it.
Lin Yi thought for a long time, wondering if that mark could help identify who Walker was.
After much contemplation with no clear answer, exhaustion overcame him, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Over the next few days, Lin Yi stayed in the hospital to recover.
Although the injury wasnât severe, the wound needed time to heal. After all, it had taken dozens of stitches, and if it tore open due to intense activity, he would suffer.
The day after Lin Yiâs injury, Ning Che arrived in Sunrise Land.
Upon seeing Lin Yiâs wound, Ning Che was silent for a long time.
âYou bastard, someone managed to beat you up like this. They must be pretty good.â
âThatâs what worries me. If they can send someone casually and beat me up like this, their organization is more formidable than we thought,â Lin Yi said.
âDonât belittle yourself. The current international situation is clear,â Ning Che said.
âIf they could beat you like this, that person must be significant in their organization. Itâs unlikely he was a low-level lackey.â
âNo matter his rank, the Central Guards Brigade canât handle it at its current level,â Lin Yi said.
âEven with the Yanlong Team, it wouldnât be enough.â
âThe brigade is aware of this issue. Theyâve held over a dozen meetings in the past few days to prepare for these matters.â
âWhat were the meetings about?â
âThe main issue is Team 4. Theyâre planning to recruit new members and rebuild Team 4, with Tao Cheng as the leader. Some members from our Team 2 and Team 3 will be transferred there,â Ning Che said.
âThe remaining task is to enhance our combat capabilities, which the brigade has left up to us.â
âBut increasing our strength isnât something that can happen overnight. Itâs not an easy task.â
âThere are ways to achieve it,â Ning Che said.
âOur technique for channeling energy through the dantian originates from Daoism, which includes methods and techniques. They plan to make this public to us, but we need to wait for their instructions.â
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi asked a question.
âWhat about the original members of Team 4? How are they and their families?â
Ning Che shrugged. âThatâs classified information. Iâm not privy to that. If you really want to know, youâll have to ask Mr. Lu.â
âIâll call him when I get a chance.â
âI suggest you donât worry about these things and focus on healing,â Ning Che said, rolling her eyes.
âIâm fine now. Just need a few more days of rest for the wound to heal, then Iâll be able to move around.â
âToo bad,â Ning Che said.
âIf you were fine now, I could enjoy some time here, but it looks like thatâs not happening.â
