"Damn!" Yang Huaigun slapped his thigh and looked at Lin Yi in surprise. "You're really something! No wonder you were the captain of my hunting dog team. After I was injured, the military brought in the most famous traditional Chinese medicine expert, Mr. Chen Xuezi, to treat me. He said the same thing!"

"Chen Xuezi?" 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 Huaigun smiled. "He told me that if I wanted to die more 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 frowned. "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."

After saying that, Lin Yi walked to Yang Huaigun's desk, took a piece of paper and a pen, and quickly wrote down a prescription. He then handed it to Yang Huaigun: "It's best if you get the medicine yourself and don't let anyone else know. Also, I don't want others to know about me, so don't mention the past!"

"Really effective? Eagle, you've really surprised me!" Yang Huaigun 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.

"I told you, don't call me Eagle, my name is Lin Yi." Lin Yi corrected him.

"Alright, Lin Yi!" Yang Huaigun nodded and carefully put the prescription in his pocket. Since it was written by his former captain and comrade, Yang Huaigun unconditionally trusted it. If it didn't work, at worst, it would just be a waste. Who knew 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 Huaigun nodded firmly.

"Maybe she was just asking casually..." Lin Yi smiled bitterly. He and she were from two different worlds, and there was no way they could intertwine. Even if they did, they were destined to separate.

People are never equal, and Lin Yi understood this deeply. At least for now, he didn't have the ability to give her a future...

"Do you want to be irresponsible?" Yang Huaigun's expression suddenly became agitated, and he glared at Lin Yi fiercely.

Yang Huaigun's strange reaction made Lin Yi slightly taken aback, but he instantly seemed to understand something: "You... like her?"

"..." Yang Huaigun fell silent at Lin Yi's question. After a long while, he said: "Back in the daredevil team, no one failed to develop a liking for Xiao Ning..."

However, this indirectly confirmed his feelings.

"She and you would be a good match." Lin Yi knew Yang Huaigun's background; they could be considered a well-matched pair.

"What do you mean?" Yang Huaigun, as if hit a sore spot, jumped up, his face turning purple as he pointed at Lin Yi: "What kind of person do you think I am? A friend's wife is not to be bullied. 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. Take care of the matter with Song Lingshan. I believe it won't be a problem."

With that, Lin Yi got up and walked towards the door.

"I really want to kill you!" Yang Huaigun punched Lin Yi's back.

Lin Yi didn't even turn around and casually caught his arm: "If you can."

Yang Huaigun knew the gap between him and Lin Yi was significant. He dejectedly released the force from his arm, and Lin Yi simultaneously let go of Yang Huaigun's arm, opened the door, and left the office.

Although Lin Yi's expression didn't change, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to those war-torn years... the girl who had entered and left his life.

Over the past two years, Lin Yi often woke up from his nightly cultivation, drenched in sweat. This was a situation that hadn't occurred since he started practicing the *Xuan Yuan Yu Long Jue*. However, those melancholic eyes kept haunting him, filling his nights with a recurring nightmare...

Had he really forgotten her? Clearly not. She was a girl who, once seen, could never be forgotten by any man... but Lin Yi also 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 backgrounds and a commoner falling in love with a princess—those are just stories, nonsense!

From the moment Lin Yi was taken away by the police, Chief Chen's phone hadn't stopped ringing. 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 afterward were increasingly influential. 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 Huaigun, who had just returned, had taken Lin Yi away. Chief Chen had to call Yang Huaigun again.

"What? Already released?" Chief Chen was somewhat taken aback. Yang Huaigun's handling of the matter was surprisingly quick.

"Yes, it was a gang causing trouble at the school, and it had nothing to do with Lin Yi. After I understood the situation, I sent him home." Yang Huaigun resumed his usual efficient tone and reported.

"Good, as long as it's settled." Chief Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could give an account to Ding Binggong and Chu Pengzhan.

When Song Lingshan learned that Yang Huaigun had released Lin Yi, she was also taken aback for a moment. However, she knew that Lin Yi wasn't responsible, as she had just learned the details from the two subordinates of Leopard Brother. It was Leopard Brother who had initiated the trouble, and Lin Yi had only acted in self-defense.
