Chapter 43

Chapter 3111: Sorry

After coming out of the building, Lin Yi took the toy car and placed it on his tricycle.

After finishing, Lin Yi called Chen Bingqiang and asked him to find someone who could do criminal investigation.

The purpose was simple: to check the fingerprints and appraise the damaged parts, so that there would be a definitive conclusion on how the item was damaged.

Although it was a bit troublesome, it was not a problem for him.

Leisurely, Lin Yi continued delivering packages. About half an hour later, someone called Lin Yi, who was sent by Chen Bingqiang to help him.

After meeting, Lin Yi explained the situation to the person, who readily agreed.

Lin Yi's request was simple and not difficult for them; the results would be available in a few hours.

In addition, Lin Yi gave the person two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of alcohol, and after a few polite exchanges, they parted ways.

Around five in the evening, after finishing his deliveries, Lin Yi rode his tricycle back to the delivery station.

The remaining work was to wait for the truck to collect the packages and clean up.

Around six, after the packages from the Peace Road branch were collected, Xu Wen came to the Xinxing Community branch and casually asked:

"Where is the returned package?"

"I delivered it."

"Huh? Delivered it?"

"I felt that the package was damaged intentionally, trying to scam us for delivery fees."

"I guessed that possibility too. I've encountered this many times." Xu Wen combed her hair, "Where did you deliver it?"

"I sent it for appraisal. The results should be out soon."

"Ah?!"

Xu Wen was stunned, "You sent it for appraisal?"

"Of course, otherwise we would be at a disadvantage." Lin Yi said, "When we have solid evidence, we can speak with reason. Otherwise, they won't admit it."

"But the problem is, the cost of the appraisal is not cheap, it's not worth it."

"Even if we don't get the steamed buns, we can still have our pride. This small amount of money is nothing."

Xu Wen laughed. Although Lin Yi was mature, sometimes he was quite stubborn, like a child.

Perhaps that's what men are like.

After talking about the package, they worked together and then closed the store for the day.

Lin Yi didn't go home but drove to the hospital.

However, he didn't go to Liang Jinming's place but to Li Chuhan's office, where she was on night duty today.

"Brother Lin, are you here to see Director Li?"

A plump nurse teased.

This always happened whenever Lin Yi came; the young nurses never missed the chance to tease him.

"Are you saying I can't come to see you?"

"Then you came at the right time. My husband just went on a business trip and won't be home for a month."

"Leave the door open for me tonight."

"Ha ha..."

The nurses at the nurse station all laughed.

"Director Lin, are you here to see Director Li? Do you want to know where she is?" a nurse with a heart-shaped face said.

"Hmm? She's not in the ward?"

"Guess?"

"I'll bring you some late-night snacks soon."

"He he, Director Lin is so nice." The young nurse smiled, "She's not anywhere else, just in the office, ha ha..."

Lin Yi didn't get angry at being teased, and after a few more jokes, he went to the office.

The office was quiet, with only Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin inside.

"Brother Lin."

Seeing Lin Yi, Qiao Xin stood up.

After a long time, Qiao Xin seemed to have become slimmer, and her demeanor was more mature.

Under Li Chuhan's guidance, she had developed a bit of a leader's aura.

"You haven't come for a long time."

"So I came."

"He he..."

Qiao Xin tidied up her things, "One should know one's place. I won't be a third wheel, I'll leave first."

"The late-night snacks are at the nurse station, go and eat them before they're gone."

"Okay."

Qiao Xin left, leaving only Lin Yi and Li Chuhan in the office.

But Li Chuhan's eyes were evasive, she seemed hesitant to look at Lin Yi.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

"No." Li Chuhan said softly, "It's my fault with Jinming. I couldn't stop him. I'm sorry."

"Don't say that." Lin Yi said, laughing and crying, "This has nothing to do with you. Even I would have been helpless in that situation, let alone you."

"But this incident was because of me."

"If you say that, you're forcing responsibility on yourself." Lin Yi said, "It's all because of me, what does it have to do with you?"

Lin Yi pulled Li Chuhan into his arms, "You must have been scared that night."

Li Chuhan also hugged Lin Yi, whispering, "I'm not afraid of anything."

Lin Yi sighed inwardly and gently stroked Li Chuhan's back.

This was too cruel for her, causing ripples in her otherwise peaceful life.

"I'm fine now, let's go see Jinming." Li Chuhan said softly, "I haven't seen him since he went into surgery."

Lin Yi suddenly felt uneasy.

The reason Li Chuhan didn't go was not because she was busy, but because Ji Qingyan was there.

In fact, not just Ji Qingyan, Li Chuhan tried to avoid all of Lin Yi's other friends.

She didn't want her presence to cause any trouble.

She always hid herself behind the crowd, content to be a shadow.

Quietly, without a sound.

"Let's go, I'll take you with me."

"Okay."

After tidying up the documents on the desk, the two of them went to the orthopedic ward.

Although Ji Qingyan wasn't there, the ward was quite lively.

Liang Jinming's mother wasn't there, but Qin Han and Gao Zongyuan were, along with a few fashionably dressed women, who seemed to be Liang Jinming's bed partners.

It was quite considerate of them to come and see him at this time.

When the two of them arrived at the ward, they saw the three of them playing cards.

Next to Liang Jinming sat a woman in a tight dress, holding his cards and playing with one hand.

The woman in the tight dress, besides holding the cards, was also holding a cigarette for Liang Jinming, quite skillfully.

"Damn, his pulse is a bit fast, he must have a good hand." Gao Zongyuan pointed at the monitor.

"No wonder you bet three points right away." Qin Han said.

"Damn, you two are cheating."

"Boss Lin."

At that moment, the woman holding the cards stood up when she saw Lin Yi enter, and the three of them stopped playing.

"Don't smoke right after surgery, wait a few days."

The woman nervously stood up and extinguished the cigarette.

"Be careful these few days." Li Chuhan said softly, "Listen to your brother."
