Cat Burglar, Yu Xiaoke
"..." Lin Yi was speechless, "Then why are you so surprised? I thought it was something good!"
"Of course Iâm surprised. How can I not be when you got something from the antiquarian book?" Old Lin rolled his eyes and retorted, "And how can it be bad if itâs recorded in the book? Even if itâs good, the detailed use of it is not written down. It only said itâs something close to a preserving container, allowing the things put inside to stay the same for thousands of years. However, that canât be the only use of it. They are just not recorded down."
"Well..." Lin Yi also rolled his eyes, "You basically said nothing. Iâll research it myself!"
Lin Yi hung up the call and didnât know what to say. The Old Manâs words had no value and Lin Yi was distressed! It was like obtaining a high-level treasure without knowing how to use it. It was nothing but empty happiness.
Luckily reality wasnât an online game, and he didnât have to worry about having no space in his backpack to store some "ragged objects"!
Lin Yi put Wannianchun box and two pieces of ___ in the drawer. Since they were useless right now, Lin Yi could only see them as "ragged objects".
After giving Old Man a call, Lin Yi gave Tang Yin a call as well.
"Hello?" Tang Yin was in the nurseâs office waiting for Xiaofen to come back. Her phone suddenly rang and Tang Yin was delighted at the callerâs ID, "Lin Yi, where are you? Is Mengyao fine now?"
Without knowing why, the first thing Tang Yin asked was Chu Mengyao. Did she genuinely care about Chu Mengyao, or was she concerned whether Lin Yi was together with Chu Mengyao or not? Tang Yin couldnât even tell herself.
"Ha, sheâs fine..." Lin Yi felt weird towards Mengyao, and he didnât know what to say to Tang Yin. Although it was to save her, it was still awkward, "Iâm at home, and sheâs still in the hospital."
"Oh..." Tang Yin sighed in relief. She was worried that Chu Mengyao would use usual competition methods, such as asking Lin Yi to stay by her side when sheâs ill. She could said that she needs protection during this period, and there was no way Tang Yin could be angry.
"Where are you?" Lin Yi asked.
"Iâm at the hospital right now for Xiaofenâs checkup. Guan Xinâs with her," Tang Yin replied.
"Iâll go and find you guys?" Lin Yi didnât know if Tang Yin mentioned Guan Xin intentionally or not. He didnât know how to answer.
"Okay," Tang Yin nodded, "My Mom was just thinking about you. She wants to discuss about purchasing a new house. We canât keep living in the hospital, can we? My Dadâs leg is almost recovered, and the doctor said he can go home and rest."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Alright, Iâll head over now," Lin Yi was available and walked out of mansion as soon as he hung up the call. However, he remembered that he left his car on the food street behind the school when he reached the front gate. He left with An Jianwenâs car at noon and he caught a taxi back.
It was to extra to drive the car back from school. Now that Tang Yin knew about his relationship with Miss, he decided to drive Yushuâs yellow Beetle.
As soon as Lin Yi parked the car in the First Hospitalâs parking lot and got out if it, a middle-aged beggar with a walking stick welcomed him.
"Young man, please do some good and give me some money!" The beggar began to speak continuously, "My leg was hurt whilst working at a construction site. That black-hearted chief labor man didnât give me a single cent, and I can only save money for treatment through begging! Please, I donât think a hundred or two is too much to ask..."
A hundred or two wasnât too much? Lin Yi laughed angrily. Donât you have a large appetite? Asking in hundreds? You arenât afraid to lose your tongue!
If he only asked for ten or eight yuan, Lin Yi may give him some change. However, the beggar was asking for too much and naturally, Lin Yi was annoyed. He glanced at the beggar and only said one word, "Leave."
The beggar didnât only stay but shameless leaned against Lin Yiâs car and refused to leave, "If you donât give me money, Iâm going to stay seated here and I wonât let you go today! Iâm disabled and Iâm not afraid of anything!"
"Heh..." Lin Yi was amused at the beggarâs tough attitude. He took out a box of silver needles from his pockets, opened it and look at him indifferently, "Your leg is broken? Iâll heal it for you."
As Lin Yi spoke, he took out a needle and stretched out for the beggar. The beggar was shocked as he didnât expect Lin Yi to carry silver needles with him. He immediately became intimidated and quickly left with his walking stick after glaring at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi laughed coldly as he put the needle box away. Naturally, he had to be tougher when dealing with these kinds of people.
When Lin Yi was about to enter the hospital, a girl blocked his way. Lin Yi frowned lightly. The girl was pretty; she had a small face, big eyes, curved eyes, and resembled one of those girls on romance novelâs cover. Except her expression werenât kind. She looked as if she was going to eat Lin Yi. Her eyebrows scrunched together angrily as if Lin Yi owed her money.
"Oi, why are you like that? Donât you have any empathy? Heâs disabled, alright? You didnât only shoo him without giving him money, you scared him away with a weapon?" Yu Xiaoke was angry. What she hated most was wealthy and inhumane people like Lin Yi! He drove such a high-quality car but had no sympathy! It would be fine if he was unwilling to give money, but he threatened the beggar with weapons?
"Weapons?" Lin Yi thought for a second and recalled that he held silver needles in his hands. It looked like this little girl who acted courageously misunderstood him. But Lin Yi couldnât be bothered to explain himself. He left and shook his head.
"Oi, Iâm talking to you!" Yu Xiaoke fumed and grabbed Lin Yiâs clothes, unwilling to let him go. The person in front of her didnât repent but ignored her words as if he disapproved her! If she didnât teach him a lesson today, she would have failed for today! If she didnât put her hand on such a fat sheep, then heaven would blame her for it!
"Say what? The beggar?" Lin Yi frowned, "If you pity him, you can go and give him some money."
Lin Yi slapped off Yu Xiaokeâs hand off his clothes and sneered unnoticeably.
