Chapter 3108: Wise Inner Support

After leaving the warehouse, Lin Yi found Gao Zongyuan, and the two drove back to the hospital.

Gao Zongyuan did not ask what Lin Yi had been up to.

The truth behind the scenes was beyond his understanding.

When the two returned to the hospital, Liang Jinming's parents were already there.

"Liang Uncle, Aunt Zhao, this is my fault. I didn't take good care of him," Lin Yi said.

"I've been expecting this day," Liang Zhendong said.

"Going out to eat, drink, and play every day, sooner or later he would run into someone who wouldn't indulge him. Consider it a lesson."

Clearly, Liang Zhendong did not know the truth and assumed it was a fight with someone else.

Since there was no danger to his life and the doctor said there would be no lasting effects, there was no need to say more.

At their level, they had seen enough of the unsavory dealings.

Minor brawls were nothing to them; as long as no one was seriously hurt, it was fine.

"But I also bear some responsibility."

"I know you two are close, but you don't have to take everything on yourself."

Liang Zhendong said, "If you really feel guilty, just spend more time with him. I don't expect him to be like you, but reaching half your level would be enough."

Lin Yi chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll do my best."

After a while, Lin Yi and the others gradually left the ward.

Liang Jinming's mother stayed to take care of him, so there was no need for anyone else.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Yi did not leave immediately but found the hospital director, Miao Guofeng.

As the director, he was naturally aware of what had happened last night.

Under normal circumstances, the relevant authorities would have to talk to him, but Lin Yi had suppressed the matter, so it did not involve him.

However, the matter was not over. They needed to keep the mouths of those below them shut.

Lin Yi arranged for Miao Guofeng to gather everyone who knew about the incident and sign confidentiality agreements.

But these agreements were not signed for free; they also needed to be paid off.

By the time everything was settled, it was already past four in the afternoon.

The group found a restaurant across from the hospital to have a meal.

"Old Lin, how's the situation? Have you found out who did it?"

Lin Yi shook his head, "Not yet, it might take some time."

"Damn!"

"There's no need to get angry," Lin Yi said.

"I've done similar things before. We can't have the officials set the rules and the common people follow them blindly."

Qin Han moved his lips but said nothing because Ji Qingyan was there, to avoid worrying her.

Perhaps because they were hungry, the meal was quiet, with everyone silently eating their food without much conversation.

During this time, Lin Yi had also figured out the situation, resolving his doubts.

If the other party wanted to fight to the bitter end, they wouldn't have sent these people.

The combined strength of these people could only match that of Team One, which was not a strategy for a quick and decisive battle or a fight to the death.

If it were him, he would have used a thunderous approach to solve the problem, not giving them a chance to struggle.

The only reason was that to hide their identities, they had to find these temporary workers.

But this group was mixed, with varying levels of strength. The ones sent over were already considered strong.

Although it wasn't the best solution, to avoid exposing their identities, they had to take a chance.

Ultimately, it had to be admitted that the person behind the scenes was highly skilled and well-hidden.

Without a doubt, they were wary of him, and not fighting to the bitter end indicated that the other party was someone who could be flexible.

Among the three known individuals, Aphrodite was the most suspicious.

If it wasn't her, then a new player might have entered the game, making the situation more complex.

All of this would have to wait for further investigation to determine.

After the meal, the group parted ways and went home.

Lin Yi sat on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest, trying to find any overlooked details from the incident.

Unfortunately, there were no new discoveries.

During this time, Lin Yi received a call from Xiao Bing.

The information about the contact person had been largely compiled.

Whether it was Zhao Kangming, the two researchers, or the hired people, they were all contacted by the same person.

This result also made Lin Yi acknowledge the capabilities of the person behind the scenes.

The fewer people involved, the lower the risk of exposure.

If it were him, he would have done the same.

The difference was that when contacting Zhao Kangming and the two researchers, the person wore a mask, showing only their eyes.

But the hired people saw the person's true face.

Since they were all of the same kind, each a desperate individual, being overly mysterious would raise suspicions and make them less willing to cooperate.

Through their descriptions and details, a clear image of the person had been drawn.

Lin Yi held his phone, repeatedly looking at the photo of the person.

It seemed to be an Asian, but he had no memory of them.

As long as he could identify this person, he could trace the roots and find the mastermind behind the scenes.

The next challenge would be his intelligence-gathering ability.

That night, Lin Yi was not in high spirits, and Ji Qingyan noticed his mood.

She brought Xiao Nuo Nuo to Lin Yi's side, letting him play with the child to distract him and ease his anxiety.

The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, Ji Qingyan also groggily got up.

With sleepy eyes, it was clear she hadn't fully woken up.

"Do you have something to do today? Why are you up so early?"

"I need to go to the hospital. With such a big incident, I should check in more often."

Ji Qingyan roughly tied her hair back with a hair tie.

"Just focus on your work, and I'll take care of things at home."

"Thanks for your help."

She gave Lin Yi a playful glare.

"Your child is already this big, and you're still saying these things."

The two smiled at each other, their默契 unspoken.

After breakfast, Lin Yi drove to the delivery station.

The current system task was already 60% complete, and if everything went well, he would need to complete two more tasks.

In addition, Team One had less than a month before they would be heading to the island, leaving him little time.

Lin Yi wanted to take advantage of this time to complete another task and earn more rewards.

Once on the island, his safety would be greatly improved.

So, he needed to work as quickly as possible during this period to trigger the system tasks.

Moreover, he had to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes during this time.

Once on the island, it would be the time for revenge!
