CHAPTER 581: CHAPTER 563: LIN WAN KNOWS

Of course, the two were just kissing; even in their hunger, there really wasn’t anything else they could do.

"You’re still injured." As the kiss ended, both were panting heavily. Lin Wan held Han Yi’s face gently and spoke in a low voice, afraid someone might come in from outside.

"It’s already fine," Han Yi said, unable to control himself. He buried his head in Lin Wan’s neck and hugged her tightly. "Just a leg. It’s not that place. Wanwan, can I?"

Lin Wan blushed and pushed him away, rolling her eyes at him. "We’re in a hospital, how can we do such a thing?"

"At night, they don’t come to check the room. Just lock the door from the inside. Hurry up," Han Yi said, signaling for Lin Wan to get off the bed and lock the door.

Seeing Han Yi’s expectant eyes, Lin Wan hesitated for a moment and then got off the bed.

This made Han Yi smile slyly in the dark.

Then, the indescribable scenes that followed were imaginable. From start to finish, only Lin Wan was moving. She was especially cautious, fearful of touching his wounds.

By the end... Lin Wan had already snuggled into his embrace, unwilling to open her eyes.

Han Yi, on the other hand, was feeling refreshed, unable to sleep in the middle of the night. He gently coaxed Lin Wan in his arm, "Sleep, sleep."

Lin Wan was still awake, and with a bit of resentment, she pushed his chest and gave a light hum, making Han Yi chuckle without getting angry.

Just when the two were drifting into sleep, there was a knock at the door.

Lin Wan was feeling terribly sleepy and opened her eyes to glance at Han Yi beside her, who was already deeply asleep. Perhaps the noisy knocking sound made him show signs of waking up.

Lin Wan, fearing she’d wake him up, hurriedly got off the bed to open the door, where she was met by the on-duty nurse’s urgency. "Comrade, there’s a call for you, and it hasn’t been disconnected yet. Please go to the nurse’s station and take it."

"Me?"

"Han Yi’s family, that means you."

"Oh..." Lin Wan quickly closed the door and followed the nurse to the nurse’s station.

"Hello, comrade, this is Lin Wan."

"Xiao Wan, it’s me, Mom."

"Mom, what’s wrong? Why call at this hour?" With one sentence, Lin Wan immediately heard her Mom’s anxious tone on the other end.

"Xiao Wan, your brother is in trouble..."

After hearing what her mom said, Lin Wan’s mind went blank. Just the day before, she saw police parading criminals for gang offenses on the street.

How could it be that just two days later, her brother got arrested by the police?

"Mom, did you ask brother about this? Who on earth is it? Who reported him?"

"The police won’t let us see your brother. They only said someone reported but didn’t know who. Xiao Wan, what do you think mom should do to save your brother?"

Xiao Wan felt panic for an instant but managed to calm down hearing Mom’s desperation. "Mom, don’t worry; I’ll call my godmother first. Godfather and godmother have lived in S City for so many years; surely, they know people here. Besides, godfather has connections in the Capital City too. No rush, I’ll go back tomorrow."

"Sure, just make the call to your godmother. Xiao Yi needs someone to take care of him now, so don’t come back. You’ll only be anxious like us."

Lin Wan’s eyes flickered, and she responded with a noncommittal "mm."

She quickly hung up her mom’s call and headed back to the room...

"Cried?" As soon as Lin Wan entered the room, Han Yi noticed her slightly red eyes.

"Ai Yi, my brother’s in trouble," Lin Wan, anxious, threw herself into Han Yi’s embrace. "I need to go back and see."

"Don’t cry. Tell me, what’s going on."

Lin Wan sniffled and recounted the events of the past few days to Han Yi.

Han Yi furrowed his brow, crossed his arms, and quickly went through the scenario in his mind.

"Someone must be jealous about the store’s business, that’s why they reported it. Brother’s situation is tricky without knowing who reported him. That’s problematic."

At this point, Lin Wan also frowned. "Before I came, Brother Junzi called me saying that Sister Mu Qing’s parents found out about Sister Mu Qing and my brother’s affair and warned my brother to be careful... Ai Yi, could it be..."

The two seemed to realize something. "It’s very likely that Sister Mu Qing’s parents reported it."

"I have to find Sister Mu Qing and get her to go back with me."

"At this hour, don’t rush. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for car transport back. I’ll go with you."

"No, you’re still not healed; you can’t move around. Let’s have Xiao Wang take care of you these next few days. Once my brother’s situation is handled, I’ll come back. Please listen."

"I’m fine; I’m already healed. I can ride in cars."

"No, this matter must be settled according to my plan."

That night, the Lin Family didn’t sleep well. Lin Wan went early in the morning to the military subdivisional area to find Mu Qing.

Who would have thought Brother Junzi found a group of missing military folks last night, and the remaining troops went to the M River.

Luck so uncanny it made Lin Wan want to curse heaven’s blind eyes.

Empty-handed, Lin Wan returned first to S City alone. Despite Han Yi’s worries, Xiao Wang was asked to drive her back.

Lin Wan disagreed, as Xiao Wang was appointed by the military district especially to take care of him. If she took Xiao Wang away, no one would be left to care for him.

The roads weren’t good, so driving back and taking the bus would be similar in time. Despite Han Yi’s objection, Lin Wan went to the train station in secret and bought a ticket. She only told him once she returned.

Han Yi now lying in bed, unable to move himself, wore an expression of helplessness.

He could only let her go.

.....

S City Police Station. At noon.

Director Wu stood in front of the desk, banging it in front of the captain.

"I told you to convict him, not to beat people up."

The captain lowered his head in shame. "That guy’s too tight-lipped, otherwise I..."

"Keep your bad intentions to yourself. Do you think this Lin Yinghui is easy to mess with? Did you know, this morning lots of people have been calling me about this Lin Yinghui."

The captain was stunned, asking quickly, "That many people? What’s Lin Yinghui’s background?"

Director Wu scoffed. "Think people would go out of their way if he was a nobody? Be smart! Get a doctor over here and get him treated. So many calls coming in, not going to hold for long. They want to see him."

If you end up offending all the influential people in S City while trying to please one, how would he still mix in S City? He wished he hadn’t gotten into this mess.

The captain immediately nodded and quickly turned to fetch a doctor, his brow furrowed as he figured if he didn’t heal Lin Yinghui, he’d probably end up in jail.

While urgently walking out, he regretted his impulsiveness in beating Lin so heavily yesterday. Now he might have a bruised nose but rosy cheeks. Healing quickly is impossible.

Thinking about how to delay several days.

... Within the detention center, Lin Yinghui lay on the single bed, face pale, hair disheveled, signs of being brutally pulled. His originally light-colored clothes marked by stomping footprints, appearing glaringly conspicuous. His face on one side swollen beyond recognition; saying bruised nose and cheeks is mild.

And Lin Yinghui was shaking all over, no one knowing when the fever began.

He was now dizzy. When the captain brought the doctor, the doctor couldn’t help but frown on sight.

Couldn’t resist speaking, "What crime warranted this beating?"

"Stop asking questions, just treat quickly. Use the best medication. Within two days, heal him completely."

"Beaten like this, two days won’t suffice. This one’s feverish; I need to administer IV fluids. As for the facial injuries, I’ll try my best."

"Hurry up, can’t let him die." The captain was agitated, scratching his chin, thinking how to handle those call-ins.

Outside, a colleague entered the room.

"Captain, there’s an attorney outside saying he’s Lin Yinghui’s personal lawyer, wanting to meet the client." The speaker was the staff who kindly advised Liang Hongmei yesterday and tried to stop the captain when he beat Lin Yinghui.

The staff spoke, taking another look at Lin Yinghui on the bed, feeling quietly sympathetic.

"Hired a lawyer?" The captain was panic-stricken. Even an attorney could be brought in; just like the leader said, this person isn’t ordinary.
