Lin Qinghe was so angry she was throwing pillows around her room when the door was pushed open. Lin Yi entered, followed by the family doctor.
"You're awake. Let the doctor change the dressing on the wound on your right shoulder."
Lin Qinghe puffed out her cheeks and said indignantly, "Brother! Give me back my phone, or I won't let the doctor change my dressing!"
Lin Yi knitted his brows and sat down by the sickbed, earnestly persuading, "Brother said, your phone will be returned to you when your injuries heal. You can go out then too."
"I... I'm already fine. My phone won't affect my injuries! I'm not going to war with my phone in my hand!"
"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You want to contact You Rong, right?"
Her thoughts read, Lin Qinghe decided not to hide it anymore. "That's right, I want to contact You Rong. I want to know how he's doing now?"
Even more so, she wanted to appear before him and diligently increase the progress bar!
Lin Yi said, "You Rong sustained minor injuries, nothing as serious as yours. He's already been discharged. Your right shoulder wound is too deep and might affect your nerves. If you don't rest well, your right hand's mobility could be impacted, and you won't be able to play the piano anymore! Listen to your brother and rest well."
"I..."
"Qinghe, you're my only sibling. Must you make your brother worry like this?"
"Brother, I don't mean that. I just want... even if you let me call You Rong, that would be fine."
Lin Yi said firmly, "No!"
"Brother!" Lin Qinghe softened her voice and pretended to be wronged, "Brother, aren't you the most fond of me? Now you won't even agree to this small request..."
Lin Yi doted on the original host the most. If she acted like this, he would surely soften his heart.
Lin Yi did soften his heart. He sighed deeply and compromised, "You want to see You Rong, right? You stay home and recuperate well. Give me two days. I'll investigate a few things, and then I'll have someone bring You Rong to see you."
"Brother..."
"No whining. This is my final bottom line!"
Lin Qinghe knew very well that Lin Yi was afraid of You Rong deceiving or using her. There was no other way, so she could only nod and agree. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lin Yi dotingly ruffled Lin Qinghe's hair and smiled with satisfaction. "Good... let Doctor Zhang change your dressing."
Doctor Zhang changed Lin Qinghe's dressing. Lin Yi told her to rest well and left with Doctor Zhang and Butler Wang.
Lin Qinghe lay back in bed, thinking: It's only two days, it shouldn't have any major impact. She decided not to dwell on it and just relax and rest.
After all, getting injured within the system, if she didn't recover properly, it would inevitably affect her body in the mission pod.
In the living room downstairs.
Lin Yi instructed, "Butler Wang, have someone investigate everything about You Rong. Get all the details."
"Yes, Young Master. I understand. I'll go do it now."
Butler Wang had only taken a couple of steps when Lin Yi suddenly called him back. "Wait."
Butler Wang turned around. "Young Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Lin Yi's gaze darkened, and he said sternly, "And that kid You Ziming. He used to bully Qinghe every day, and this time he almost got her killed. If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll think his elder brother is dead. Doesn't the You Corporation want to go public? Hmph..."
Lin Yi sneered. "Do you understand what I mean?"
Butler Wang said, "Yes, Young Master. I understand."
"Good, you may go."
-------------------------------------
Two days later, a major piece of news broke in Jiangcheng. You Corporation was under investigation by relevant departments for alleged tax evasion and illegal operations. As soon as this news came out, the IPO of You Corporation was indefinitely postponed.
You Rong watched the news, his brows furrowed.
It wasn't hard to guess that this was Lin Yi's doing.
To make Lin Yi angry enough to act against You Corporation, was she injured very badly?
You Rong became more and more uneasy as he thought about it. He could no longer sit still. He said to Grandma Lin, "Grandma, I'm going out for a while. I won't be back for lunch. You don't need to wait for me."
With that, he limped away with his injured left leg.
"You Rong, your injuries haven't healed yet. Where are you going..."
Grandma Lin chased after him, but You Rong was nowhere to be seen. She sighed and could only let him go.
Ever since he was discharged from the hospital, he had been preoccupied. He must be worried about that young girl named Qinghe.
You Rong arrived at the bar where he worked part-time. The bar hadn't opened yet. Brother Wang saw him and looked surprised. "You Rong, why are you here? Didn't you say you were injured by accident? Your injury..." Brother Wang saw the gauze on the back of You Rong's head and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"Brother Wang, my injuries are fine. I came here because I need your help."
"Okay, what do you need my help with? Just say it. Is it about money? I can advance you some..."
"No, Brother Wang. I want to ask you to check where Lin Qinghe's address was when she filled out her employment information."
"Lin Qinghe's address?" Brother Wang asked curiously. "Why are you suddenly asking for Lin Qinghe's address? She hasn't come to work in a long time. Are you still in contact with her?"
"I... I can't explain it clearly right now. Brother Wang, I really need Lin Qinghe's address. Please tell me!"
Seeing how anxious You Rong was, Brother Wang didn't ask any further. "Okay, wait here for a moment. I'll go flip through the information Lin Qinghe filled out when she was hired."
After about two minutes, Brother Wang came out with a sheet of A4 paper. "This is the information Lin Qinghe filled out when she was hired. It has her address on it, but it's her registered address according to her ID card. I don't know if she's still living there."
You Rong took the document. "Brother Wang, thank you. I have something important to do, so I'll be going now."
"Okay, call me if anything comes up."
"Alright."
Holding Lin Qinghe's address, You Rong took three buses and walked for ten minutes after getting off at the last stop before arriving in front of the Lin family villa.
Looking at the luxurious and exquisite villa before him, You Rong pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and went to press the doorbell.
-------------------------------------
Lin Qinghe's bedroom.
Lin Qinghe's face was grim as she threw a tantrum. "Brother, you promised me you'd let You Rong see me in two days. It's been two days now! Why haven't you let him come to see me yet?"
Lin Yi said impatiently, "It's not dark yet, is it? It's still the middle of the day. The promised two days haven't passed."
"I don't care! Either let You Rong see me now, or let me go out to find You Rong!" Lin Qinghe insisted.
She finally understood. When the original host cried and fussed, Lin Yi had no choice. When she spoke to Lin Yi reasonably, he paid no attention.
Lin Yi was distressed and sighed, lamenting that a married daughter is like spilled water, but his sister's water had already been spilled towards You Rong before she was even married.
Just as he was about to tell Butler Wang to go find You Rong, Butler Wang entered first and whispered something in Lin Yi's ear.
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lin Qinghe. "You want to see You Rong, right? Fine... Brother will let you see him now. But you have to listen to me later."
