CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 417: WHY DID MY TEAMMATE BETRAY ME?

However, when Empress Dowager Ye and Xiao Zihan saw Lin Yi’s arm wrapped in bandages, tears immediately welled up in their eyes.

Especially Xiao Zihan, who reached out wanting to touch the bandages on Lin Yi’s arm, but hesitated, afraid of causing him pain, her hand lingering in mid-air, unsure whether to pull back or proceed.

Moreover, large teardrops kept falling from Xiao Zihan’s eyes, yet she bit her lip tightly, not uttering a single word.

There was neither blame nor comfort. This made Lin Yi’s heart ache intensely.

He reached out, gently held Xiao Zihan’s hand, and then placed it directly on the bandage on his arm.

With no other choice, he forced a bitter smile and said to Xiao Zihan:

"Hehe, don’t worry Zihan, there’s nothing wrong with me, it’s just some superficial wounds.

Don’t you trust me? When have I ever done something I’m not confident in?

Rest assured, when I took action, I knew they were no match for me.

If I wasn’t certain, I definitely wouldn’t have rushed up."

No matter what Lin Yi said, Xiao Zihan just bit her lip and remained silent.

Yet tears at the corners of her eyes didn’t stop flowing.

At this, Lin Yi felt a bit panicked, casting a pleading glance towards Empress Dowager Ye.

However, originally Empress Dowager Ye didn’t want to interfere, annoyed with Lin Yi for being exasperating.

But upon seeing Xiao Zihan’s continuous tears, her heart ached and she stepped forward to embrace Xiao Zihan, then scolded Lin Yi:

"Go, go, go. Hurry and change your clothes. Every day you’re just making Zihan worry. Wait until I settle accounts with you later!"

After scolding Lin Yi, Empress Dowager Ye turned her gaze to Xiao Zihan and began to gently console her.

It’s undeniable that Empress Dowager Ye’s comforting was indeed more effective than Lin Yi’s.

With Empress Dowager Ye’s soothing words, Xiao Zihan gradually stopped crying.

However, she still didn’t seem inclined to pay attention to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was quite satisfied with this.

Whether she pays attention to him or not doesn’t matter, as long as Xiao Zihan stops crying, it’s fine.

His clothes were really uncomfortable, and staying there would only make Xiao Zihan more upset.

So he awkwardly greeted Xiao Zihan and retreated to his room to change clothes.

Earlier, while wrapping the bandage, Lin Yi had told the young nurse about wanting to take a shower, so she used a waterproof membrane over this wound and the bandage on his right palm.

This way, as long as he didn’t directly wash the injured arm, a simple shower was no problem.

He quickly showered and changed into clean clothes, feeling utterly refreshed.

He had been sweating downstairs and then walked around in the cold, damp clothes.

If it weren’t for his improved physical strength, his clothes might have frozen solid.

However, just as Lin Yi finished changing and stepped out, his phone rang.

He glanced at Xiao Zihan, seeing she had stopped crying and her mood had improved significantly.

Only then did Lin Yi take out his phone to check.

Seeing the call was from his dad, he answered and put it on speaker:

"What’s up, Dad?"

On the other end, Lin Jianguo, upon hearing his son’s voice, slightly relaxed his furrowed brows and directly asked:

"Did you act impulsively again? But I just saw the video from the scene; you handled it well! You’ve got the Lin Family spirit. In such a situation, you should step up bravely. A man should stand tall and be righteous! A man should..."

However, as soon as Lin Jianguo finished this sentence, Lin Yi felt a pang of trouble.

He glanced towards Empress Dowager Ye and Xiao Zihan, and indeed saw Empress Dowager Ye’s eyes now full of anger.

Lin Yi immediately knew that someone was in for it.

Sure enough, just as his dad was speaking animatedly over the phone, Empress Dowager Ye suddenly moved.

She rushed to Lin Yi, snatched the phone, and before Lin Jianguo could finish his words, she began scolding:

"Lin Jianguo, are you stupid? No wonder the boy is like this! It’s all your teaching! Well done! Why make a fuss in that situation? If that knife had really cost him his life, what would have happened? That’s my son! I’m telling you, Lin Jianguo, nothing is more important than my son’s life!..."

Now, Empress Dowager Ye was truly furious.

Their son was already impulsive, liking to be the first to charge ahead when things happened.

At such times, instead of holding him back, you encourage him?

Next time something happens, won’t he rush even faster?

Listening to Empress Dowager Ye’s rage, Lin Yi couldn’t help but shrink his neck, feeling secretly delighted inside.

Haha, calling at this moment, Dad made a wise move, being a good ally.

He even knows how to share the blame with his son.

Haha, sparing others instead of oneself.

Dad, hope you can hold on a bit longer.

However, on the other side, Lin Jianguo was stunned by the sudden scolding.

He knew he had definitely fallen into his son’s scheme.

But there was nothing he could do, as always over the years, he had no choice but to listen to Empress Dowager Ye’s chastisement.

Finally, when Empress Dowager Ye finished, Lin Jianguo weakly asked:

"Yeah, I know I was wrong. I’ll harshly criticize the boy shortly.

Really, how can he be the first to rush forward when something happens?

Doesn’t he weigh his own abilities? What if something unexpected happens to him, what about the two of us?

Lao Ye, give the phone back to him, I’ll talk to him now."

This left Lin Yi a bit bewildered.

What was going on with Comrade Lin? How could he suddenly switch sides? That’s not like him!

Didn’t he always face things upfront?

But looking at Empress Dowager Ye, after hearing Lin Jianguo’s words, she snorted coldly:

"Hmph! At least you know what’s right. I’ll give him the phone. You better talk to him well in front of me. A boy left unchecked will cause problems!"

After saying this, Empress Dowager Ye threw the phone back to Lin Yi, then returned to Xiao Zihan’s side.

However, her eyes remained fixed in this direction.
