"Damn!" Yang Huaijun slapped his thigh in surprise as he looked at Lin Yi, "Impressive! No wonder you were the captain of my hunting dog team. When I was injured, the military brought in the most famous traditional Chinese medicine expert in the country, Mr. Chen Xuezhi, to treat me. He said the same thing!"
"Chen Xuezhi?" Lin Yi seemed to have heard this name before but couldn't remember where.
"Yes, he was the one who said I wouldn't live for more than half a year!" Yang Huaijun smiled, "He told me that if I wanted to die slowly, I shouldn't be treated and just use painkillers, which might help me live a few more days!"
"What a ridiculous method!" Lin Yi couldn't help but frown, "I'll think about your condition when I get back and come up with a plan as soon as possible. But I can write you a prescription now, which is more effective than Western painkillers and has fewer side effects."
Saying this, Lin Yi walked to Yang Huaijun's desk, took a piece of paper and a pen, and quickly wrote down a prescription. He then handed it to Yang Huaijun, "It's best if you get the medicine yourself and don't let anyone else know. Also, I don't want anyone to know about my past, so don't mention it anymore!"
"Really effective? Eagle, you've really surprised me!" Yang Huaijun took the prescription from Lin Yi, looked at the densely written names of Chinese herbs, and was momentarily stunned. This couldn't be a random scribble; an ordinary person might not even be able to write these names.
"Stop calling me Eagle, my name is Lin Yi," Lin Yi corrected him.
"Alright, Lin Yi!" Yang Huaijun nodded and carefully put the prescription in his pocket. Since it was written by his former captain and comrade, Yang Huaijun trusted it unconditionally. At worst, if it didn't work, he might die, but he didn't know how long he would live anyway. "You're really amazing, no wonder Xiao Ning is so fond of you!"
Hearing this name, Lin Yi's smile suddenly froze, and after a long pause, he looked up, "She... still remembers me?"
"The last time I saw her, she asked about you," Yang Huaijun nodded firmly.
"Maybe she just asked casually..." Lin Yi smiled bitterly. He and she were from two different worlds, and there was no way they could be intertwined. Even if they were, they were destined to separate.
People are never equal, and Lin Yi understood this deeply. At least now, he didn't have the ability to give her a future...
"Do you want to be irresponsible?" Yang Huaijun's expression suddenly became agitated, and he glared at Lin Yi fiercely.
Yang Huaijun's strange reaction made Lin Yi slightly taken aback, but he quickly understood something, "You... like her?"
"..." Yang Huaijun fell silent at Lin Yi's question. After a long while, he said, "Back in the special forces, everyone had a good impression of Xiao Ning..."
However, this indirectly confirmed his feelings.
"She and you would be a good match." Lin Yi knew Yang Huaijun's background; they could be considered a well-matched pair.
"What do you mean?" Yang Huaijun jumped up as if he had been hit in a sore spot, his face turning purple as he pointed at Lin Yi, "What kind of person do you think I am? A friend's wife should not be wronged. Even if I'm a scoundrel, I wouldn't do such a thing!"
"She's not my wife," Lin Yi shook his head and said calmly, "Alright, I'm leaving. Leave the matter with Song Lingshan to you. I believe it won't be a problem."
Saying this, Lin Yi got up and walked towards the door.
"I really want to kill you!" Yang Huaijun punched Lin Yi's back.
But Lin Yi didn't even turn his head and casually caught his arm, "If you can."
Yang Huaijun knew the gap between him and Lin Yi was not small. He dejectedly released the force from his arm, and Lin Yi simultaneously let go of Yang Huaijun's arm, opened the door, and left Yang Huaijun's office.
Although Lin Yi's expression didn't change, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to those war-torn years... the girl who had met and parted from him in his life.
Over the past two years, Lin Yi often woke up from his nighttime training, drenched in sweat. This was a situation that hadn't occurred since he started practicing the *Xuanyuan Yulong Jue*. However, those melancholic eyes kept haunting him, filling his nights with a recurring nightmare...
Each time he saw those sad and resentful eyes, Lin Yi would involuntarily wake up from his training. It was a recurring and endless nightmare...
Have I really forgotten her? Clearly not. She was a girl who, once seen, could never be forgotten by any man... However, Lin Yi also clearly understood that her brilliant light did not belong to him.
If the seventeen-year-old Lin Yi still had a bit of defiance, the current Lin Yi understood the harshness of reality even more. Going to find her would only bring trouble to her and those around her. Mismatched people falling in love is a fairy tale, a fantasy!
From the moment Lin Yi was taken away by the police, Chief Chen of the police station hadn't stopped receiving calls. First, it was the principal of No. 1 High School, Ding Binggong. Chief Chen took Ding Binggong's call very seriously and promised to investigate thoroughly.
However, the people who called later were of higher and higher status. First, it was Uncle Fu from Chu Pengzhan's side, and then Chu Pengzhan himself called to inquire!
With no choice, Chief Chen had to call Song Lingshan, urging her to handle the case quickly and fairly, without leaving any room for criticism.
However, the news from Song Lingshan was that Yang Huaijun, who had just returned, had taken Lin Yi away. Chief Chen had to call Yang Huaijun again.
"What? Already released?" Chief Chen was somewhat taken aback. Yang Huaijun's handling of the matter was too quick.
"Yes, it was a gang of black society members causing trouble at the school, and it had nothing to do with Lin Yi. After I understood the situation, I sent him back," Yang Huaijun reported in his usual efficient tone.
"Good, as long as it's settled." Chief Chen sighed in relief. Now he could report back to Ding Binggong and Chu Pengzhan.
When Song Lingshan learned that Yang Huaijun had released Lin Yi, she was also taken aback for a moment. However, she knew that Lin Yi wasn't responsible. She had just learned the details from two of Black Panther's subordinates; it was Black Panther who had initiated the trouble, and Lin Yi had only acted in self-defense.
