Chapter 0040: Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collection

"It's fine." Lin Yi smiled very easily: "I don't like anesthetics; they have side effects."

The chief surgeon was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. Since Lin Yi insisted on this, he could only comply. This kind of surgery posed no threat to life, so he wouldn't force the issue.

"Kid, you'll have to bear with it!" After the chief surgeon spoke, he instructed the nurse to prepare for the surgery.

Lin Yi wasn't afraid of pain, but that didn't mean he didn't feel it. However, this level of pain was within his tolerance. Back then, when he fell from the top of Xishan Mountain, the pain was much worse, as if all his internal organs had shifted out of place...

"Kid, how did you get injured?" Dr. Sun Weimin, the chief surgeon, was an experienced surgeon with excellent medical skills and a good ability to read people. Although Lin Yi had been shot, he didn't seem like a criminal suspect, so Sun Weimin took the initiative to chat with him to distract his attention and reduce his pain.

"I was hit by a robber in the bank." Lin Yi understood Dr. Sun's intention, but his attention wasn't so easily distracted. The training he received from a young age taught him to remain vigilant in any situation and not to let his guard down.

"Is that so?" Sun Weimin listened and indeed found that the young man was not a criminal suspect but a victim, so he relaxed and continued: "The situation must have been very tense, right?"

"It was okay," Lin Yi smiled: "Actually, I could have avoided it, but there was a girl behind me. If I had dodged, she would have been hit, so I had to take the bullet. Was I being foolish?"

Lin Yi had seen similar news reports in the mountains before, where good deeds were often called foolish, while cold and selfish people were considered smart. So, saying this, he felt a bit self-deprecating.

"Ah?" Sun Weimin, upon hearing this, was instantly filled with admiration for the young man: "Kid, you're truly great! This isn't foolish; it's heroic! How about it, did the girl fall in love with you at first sight?"

"Later, I was taken hostage by the robber. Who knows what she was thinking?" Lin Yi smiled bitterly: "At that time, she probably didn't think I was taking the bullet for her, after all, the robber was aiming at me."

"That's still very commendable! Kid, you know how to put others before yourself!" Sun Weimin admired Lin Yi: "What's your name?"

"Lin Yi, it's on the medical record." Lin Yi smiled.

"Ha ha, sorry, I see so many patients every day that I rarely pay attention to these details." Sun Weimin said, a bit embarrassed.

The surgery went smoothly. Lin Yi didn't scream or thrash around, so Sun Weimin completed the minor surgery very quickly. Lin Yi's composure surprised him; without any anesthesia, Lin Yi endured the pain so well, showing remarkable willpower!

After the surgery, Song Lingshan came to the ward to take Lin Yi's statement and met the chief surgeon, Sun Weibin. Sun Weibin praised Lin Yi highly: "Officer Song, this young man is truly remarkable, putting others before himself. He should be a role model for society! You should give him an award for bravery!"

"What do you mean?" Song Lingshan, though impressed by Lin Yi's calmness in the face of the robber, didn't think it was self-sacrificing. Chu Mengyao's statement didn't mention the details of Lin Yi taking the bullet, only that he was shot by the robber, so Song Lingshan didn't know the full story.

"Oh? You didn't know? Lin Yi could have avoided the robber's bullet, but he saw a girl behind him. If he had dodged, the girl would have been hit, so he took the bullet for her!" Sun Weibin praised him: "I've never met a young man with such a sense of justice and compassion!"

Song Lingshan frowned. Was this true? It sounded like a story. Besides, can you really dodge a bullet just because you want to? As a former special forces instructor, she couldn't guarantee dodging a bullet, so how could Lin Yi be better than her? Song Lingshan couldn't believe it: "Dr. Sun, who told you this?"

"Lin Yi himself told me!" Sun Weibin said.

"He told you himself?" Song Lingshan was taken aback. You believe what he says? He's just pulling your leg. If I said I could punch an elephant to death, would anyone believe me?

Sun Weibin noticed Song Lingshan's skepticism and smiled: "This young man didn't even need anesthesia to remove the bullet and didn't even complain about the pain. Just based on his resilience, I believe what he said."

Sun Weibin had many other things to attend to, so he couldn't chat with Song Lingshan for long. After a few more words, he left, and Song Lingshan entered Lin Yi's ward.

Lin Yi had wanted to leave immediately, but that would have been too shocking. Since his injury was in his leg, not his arm, he pretended to lie in bed.

"Lin Yi, can we take your statement now?" For some reason, seeing Lin Yi lying in bed with his leg propped up, Song Lingshan felt he deserved a beating.

"Sure." Lin Yi lay in bed, looking up at Song Lingshan. From this angle, he noticed her figure... It was comparable to the AV actress he had seen that morning. On closer inspection, Song Lingshan was quite beautiful, and the uniform was quite alluring...

Perhaps sensing Lin Yi's gaze, Song Lingshan instinctively followed his gaze and blushed.

Due to long-term high-intensity training, Song Lingshan's chest had developed exceptionally well, even to the point of being a burden. Without a bra, it would bounce when she walked, making her feel very uncomfortable. She even considered getting liposuction, but thought it would be embarrassing, so she decided against it.

In the special forces, the strict discipline meant no one paid attention to her chest, so she didn't mind. But after joining the police force, she often had to wear plain clothes and go to mixed environments, which made her feel uncomfortable. Men often looked at her with lustful eyes, and she wanted to kick them.

But what Song Lingshan didn't expect was that Lin Yi would stare at her even while she was in uniform, which was truly unforgivable! She coldly huffed and sat on the chair by Lin Yi's bed, thinking of ways to give him a small punishment...

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and she had a plan...
