Chapter 40: The Real Him

  "Xiao Fei..."

  Lin Dà Yuǎn's puffy eyes looked at Lin Fei and called out in a low voice.

  The ominous aura around Lin Fei dissipated, replaced by a strained and awkward smile. He walked to his uncle's side, bent down, and whispered into Lin Dajun's ear, "Uncle, it's me. How are you?"

  "Don't...don't worry," Lin Dàyuān seemed to be speaking with great effort, "Uncle is fine."

  Lin Fei frowned, "It's already like this, how can you still say it's nothing? Uncle, don't try to fool me."

  "Haha......" Lin Dajun looked at his nephew with a warm smile, his eyes glanced at Su Yingxue and asked in confusion: "Who is this..."

  Su Yingxue briefly introduced herself again. Lin Dayuan knew that she was actually Lin Fei's superior, and politely asked about her well-being, seemingly worried that he had been impolite.

  "I'm really sorry, my old bones are now stuck like they're hanging from the beam and can't come down... Mr. Su, my nephew Xiaofei just returned from abroad last year, he doesn't understand many things, please don't blame him, but his driving skills are really good... He's also a sensible person, very filial..."

  Su Yingxue thought to herself, almost getting angry on her first day of work, who's being reasonable? But she still showed a gentle smile and nodded.

  "Uncle, you're already like this, don't say those things anymore, just rest well. I'll go and change a better hospital room for you, you need to stay in the hospital for at least half a month," Lin Fei heard with great discomfort.

  Lin Dajun hastily refused, "No, changing rooms is expensive. Just stay here for two days and then go home. Medical expenses are too high, you don't earn money easily. I'm fine, just a minor illness, resting for ten or half a month will be okay."

  Lin Fei didn't hesitate and directly called over a young nurse to ask about transferring to a single room.

  The nurse said bluntly: "There are wards, but the price is quite expensive. Can you afford the economic burden?"

  Lin Fei furrowed his brow and directly pulled out the check for one million, "Here's one million, take it and use it to deduct slowly, use all the good medical resources as you please."

  "Really?..." The little nurse looked at the check with some disbelief, "We don't accept checks here either."

  Su Yingxue interrupted at this time: "I'll pay for this uncle's medical expenses, you quickly arrange a hospital room."

  The nurse took one look at Su Yingxue's attire and demeanor, and felt reassured. Smiling, she said: "Temporary arrangement, I need to go find the leader, please wait a moment."

  Lying down, Lin Dajun became anxious, coughing a few times, "No, Old Su, how can this be, we're not even relatives..."

  "Let's just deduct it from Lin Fei's salary", Su Yingxue turned her head to ask Lin Fei, "What do you say?"

  Lin Fei looked at her with gratitude, this woman really helped a lot by following him. He nodded and said to Lin Dà Yuán: "Uncle, my income is quite high now, don't worry about the medical expenses. You change to a better environment, recover as soon as possible, and let Yaoyao not worry too much, right?"

  Lin Dajun looked at his tearful daughter with a guilty conscience and had no choice but to agree.

  Money talks, Su Yingxue swiped her card and Lin Dayuan was immediately arranged into a high-end ward in the hospital.

  Lin Fei asked halfway, Lin Dayuan didn't recognize those little rascals who beat him, and as a result, Lin Dayuan was confused.

  I don't even know where those people came from, why they suddenly rushed up and severely beat him until his limbs were fractured, and he fainted in pain by the side of the road.

  Lin Dàyuàn was worried instead and asked Lin Fēi if he had offended some big shot, telling him not to act impulsively and look for trouble.

  Lin Fei naturally wouldn't mention what had happened before, knowing that asking would get nothing out of it. Lin Fei then told his uncle to rest well and not think wildly.

  Karin Daiyuan's body was in too much pain, and she finally fell asleep after being given a sedative.

  Lin Yaori ran around inside and outside all night, exhausted physically and mentally. She asked her instructor for a leave of absence and planned to sleep in the ward at night. Fortunately, there were two beds, so she could take care of her father at any time.

  Faced with this disaster, the father and daughter were very depressed, but they could only think that they had just encountered a group of idle hooligans who did evil for no reason, otherwise they couldn't find any other reason.

  It's like a mute eating bitter melon, with grievances that cannot be expressed, this is also the sorrow of ordinary people.

  As they walked out of the hospital and headed towards the parking lot, Su Yingxue said softly: "With a big brother like him who cares about you so much, aren't you happy? He's badly injured himself, yet he's still thinking about your future."

  Lin Fei's mouth curled up with a satisfied smile, and his eyes were filled with faint memories: "When I was young, I was very mischievous. My dad was busy running the noodle restaurant, and when I made trouble for him, he would chase me with an iron ladle to hit me."

  Every time I was beaten by my dad, it was my eldest uncle who stood up for me, hugged me and scolded my dad, then took me to buy delicious food...

  My big uncle said, when I was still a little kid, the first thing I did was pee all over him. Later on, he let me ride on his neck and I peed on him several times, saying that I'm some kind of Urination King...

  Lin Fei said with a smile, but the more he thought about those times, the more he felt guilty and self-reproach.

  The person I owe the most in those over ten years when I was not in the country is probably my eldest uncle who has been worrying about me all along.

  Su Yingxue heard the man say these things, and it seemed as if the scenes really appeared in front of her eyes, and her heart felt a little sour.

  Unconsciously, he walked to the parking spot, and Lin Fei's phone rang.

  Lin Fei took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he thought of something, then picked up the call.

  "Hello."

  "Hey, kiddo, by now you should have seen that old mutt who broke the legs of four dogs", a man's voice on the other end of the phone cackled with laughter, full of complacency.

  Lin Fei's hand tightened around the phone, took a deep breath, "Who are you people".

  "Who are we, old man? You're not worthy of knowing. Let me tell you, don't think that just because you know a few tricks, you can act like a fool! This time it's your family's old good-for-nothing, next time it'll be your delicate little sister!"

  "Haha, we have a lot of brothers who like to play with those lively college girls. Your cousin looks pretty good, I reckon after playing with her, she can be sold to work in a nightclub and fetch a good price," the man said with an evil grin.

  Lin Fei's face had lost all emotional color, the whole person was like a cold steel knife, flashing a terrifying chill under the night.

  Su Yingxue knew it was definitely a call from the group of people who beat Lin Dayuan, and when she saw Lin Fei's expression, she became somewhat tense and didn't dare to breathe loudly.

  This man, in a short period of time, has revealed too many different sides, from laughter to anger, from rascal to wise and profound, and even cold-blooded... Which one is the real him!?

  "Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Lin Fei asked in a seemingly casual tone.

  "Consider yourself lucky", the man didn't hear anything special, coldly said: "In Lin'an City North, on the west side of Anjiang Reservoir, there is a small canning factory. You have two hours to get there, and you must come alone... Don't think about playing any tricks, if you dare to call the police, you will regret it for the rest of your life"
