Chapter 39: Did you get in through the back door? Please recommend. Please collect!

"Wh-what?" Song Lingshan was taken aback, her face instantly turning red, and she was so angry that her whole body trembled. How dare this person openly act so shamelessly towards her! How could this be tolerated? But considering Uncle Fu's face, she really wanted to slap Lin Yi across the face.

"Captain Song, what Mr. Lin means is that his leg was injured by a bullet. If you don't believe it, he can show you," Uncle Fu, seeing Song Lingshan's reaction, knew she had misunderstood and quickly explained on Lin Yi's behalf.

Only then did Song Lingshan notice the bloodstains on Lin Yi's pants, and she felt a bit embarrassed: "Is that so? Then you should go to the hospital first..." But in her heart, she was very disgusted with Lin Yi. If he was injured, he should just say so; why did he have to take off his pants? Although she was a police officer, she was still a girl, and was there anyone who would do such a thing?

"As a qualified police officer, the first thing you need is keen observational skills. There are large bloodstains on my pants, and you didn't even notice. I really don't understand how you became a captain. Did you get in through the back door?" Lin Yi saw the disgust in Song Lingshan's eyes and said calmly.

"You—!" Song Lingshan's lack of investigative experience was her biggest weakness! It was also her greatest pain. But those who knew her background understood that although Song Lingshan's family had connections, she did not get her position as deputy captain through backdoor means.

She was previously a combat instructor in a special forces unit, with the rank of major. After transferring to civilian life, she became the deputy captain of the police force's criminal investigation team, which was entirely appropriate in terms of rank. Moreover, her combat skills were among the best in the team, and no one could match her except for Captain Yang Huaijun.

But Lin Yi's words hit her sore spot! Indeed, she was good at combat, but that didn't mean she was good at everything else. Having just transferred, what she lacked most was the meticulous observation required for solving cases.

The team respected her for her combat skills, not her investigative abilities. So Song Lingshan had been learning all along, silently following Captain Yang Huaijun whenever he went on duty, aware of her own shortcomings.

However, Yang Huaijun, who had transferred two years earlier, had rich investigative experience, which made Song Lingshan both admire and envy him.

But today, Captain Yang Huaijun was on a business trip, and Song Lingshan had no choice but to handle the situation alone. As a result, she was mocked by Lin Yi, which made her extremely angry! But Lin Yi's words were all true, leaving her no way to refute them. So Song Lingshan could only grit her teeth, feeling utterly helpless.

Actually, it was just a bullet wound, and Lin Yi could have handled it himself. In the war-torn North Africa, who would go to the hospital when hit by a bullet? They would probably be killed by the enemy before reaching the hospital.

But with Song Lingshan around, Lin Yi didn't want to show off too much. What he didn't expect was that Song Lingshan would take it so seriously and even follow him to the hospital to take a statement. But it was fine; Lin Yi had nothing to hide from her.

Regarding Chu Mengyao, the little princess of Chu Pengzhan, Song Lingshan didn't dare to be too presumptuous and didn't insist on taking her to the police station. Instead, she took her statement in Uncle Fu's car.

"Xiao Shu, how is your brother?" Song Lingshan and Chen Yushu had known each other for a long time, and Song Lingshan actually felt quite guilty about Chen Yushu's brother.

"Hmph! What's it to you?" Chen Yushu sneered, turning her head away and not giving Song Lingshan a good face.

Song Lingshan smiled bitterly, turned to Chu Mengyao, and said, "Miss Chu, let's take your statement now."

As Chu Mengyao recounted what had happened, Chen Yushu often exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! Lin Yi is so amazing? Really? Mengyao, I told you, having him as your bodyguard is definitely the right choice. He can definitely handle any man's harassment for you."

"Hmph, who needs him?" Chu Mengyao thought of Lin Yi's arrogant attitude earlier and felt annoyed.

Song Lingshan, listening on the side, was also curious. From what she heard, this man named Lin Yi wasn't just all talk! Although Song Lingshan was unhappy with Lin Yi's comment about her getting in through the back door, she wasn't an irrational person. From Chu Mengyao's account, Lin Yi seemed to be both brave and strategic. Moreover, after being shot, he could still persist in dealing with the criminals, which was commendable.

However, Song Lingshan was quite disdainful of Lin Yi's comment, "I'm not a police officer; do they pay me a salary?" Couldn't he just be a good citizen and act bravely for once? But after hearing Chu Mengyao's account of Lin Yi's explanation, Song Lingshan realized that Lin Yi's actions were not wrong. If he had really angered the robbers at that time, neither of them might have escaped.

But she was puzzled by the fact that the robbers specifically targeted Chu Mengyao. Did they go through all this trouble just to kidnap her? However, it was possible that they did this to avoid arousing suspicion from the Chu family. There might be other reasons, but they were unknown for now. They would have to wait until the bald-headed gang was caught to make a determination.

"Miss, I think Mr. Lin is very qualified. Mr. Chu's judgment was right. With him by your side, I can finally rest easy," Uncle Fu said with lingering fear. But at that moment, he truly understood Mr. Chu's intentions. Lin Yi was indeed not an ordinary person!

Chu Mengyao's lips moved, wanting to say something to refute Uncle Fu, but for some reason, the scene of Lin Yi standing up for her in the bank kept replaying in her mind...

Because Song Lingshan was there, the hospital did not ask too many questions about Lin Yi's gunshot wound. When treating gunshot wounds under police authority, the hospital did not need to bear any responsibility.

Lin Yi was wheeled into the operating room, and the chief surgeon said to the nurse, "Prepare the anesthetic; I need to remove the bullet."

"No need." Lin Yi was not fond of anesthetics and other Western medicines. Although using them once or twice was not a big deal, using them too often could have side effects on the body.

The chief surgeon was taken aback, thinking, "The people who brought him here don't look poor. They can't possibly be unable to afford anesthetic. If he doesn't use it, it will be very painful. The thigh has dense nerve endings, and although this is a simple surgical procedure, the pain will be much greater than many major surgeries."

"Son, not using anesthetic will be very painful," the chief surgeon, a veteran expert in his forties, naturally saw Lin Yi as a young man.
