Chapter 2396 2397 Youre Lucky
Chapter 2396: Chapter 2397: You’re Lucky Chapter 2396: Chapter 2397: You’re Lucky Everyone fell silent.
The method of murder was unheard of even for an experienced police officer like Li Xianghui, sending chills down the spine.
“According to the killer’s strategy, it’s very likely that you’re the next target,” Li Xianghui said while looking at Lin Yi:
“Be careful and do not go out alone at night.”
“I’m not worried about that; I wish he would come sooner.”
“Don’t be reckless. This is no joking matter,” Li Xianghui said seriously.
“Got it, Brother Li.”
“Let’s end it here for today. Everyone go back and continue investigating this matter,” Li Xianghui said.
“Let’s go, Brother Li. I’ll escort you,” Zhu Junchi said. Their homes were not far from each other and they had come together.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll stay here with her,” Lin Yi said.
“Sure, the two of you are young and have common topics of conversation. It’s good to nurture your relationship.”
“Brother Hui, don’t tarnish my reputation,” Gu Yiran said.
“You’re all young. It’s fine, haha…”
One by one, they left. Li Xianghui gave a few more instructions to Zhang Wenli before departing with Zhu Junchi.
“Lin Yi, if you have things to do, you can go first. It’s no different if I take care of her here,” Zhang Wenli said.
“Let me do it. You’re the head nurse and you have to arrange everything in the department.”
“That’s fine. You young people spending time together to nurture your relationship is good,” Zhang Wenli laughed.
“Sister-in-law, why do you also…”
“That’s okay, nothing to be embarrassed about.” Zhang Wenli laughed, waving her hand, “I’ll take my leave now, the two of you can stay here.”
“Are you sure you’ll be alright tonight?” Gu Yiran felt a bit awkward keeping Lin Yi here.
“What could happen to me.” Lin Yi yawned, “Either I accompany my wife to sleep, or I accompany you to sleep. Either way, I’m sleeping with someone, I’m fine with anyone, I’m not picky.”
“Damn.”
“With your current state, I don’t know who you can rely on.”
While talking, Lin Yi helped Gu Yiran onto the bed.
“Thanks for everything today,” Gu Yiran said:
“If my family knew, they’d probably make me resign.”
“Have you never thought of switching jobs? Maybe to a civilian position.”
“I think being a criminal police officer is pretty good; a desk job is too boring,” Gu Yiran said:
“If in the future, after getting married and having kids, I can consider switching to a civilian position then.”
“What’s so good about catching criminals.” Lin Yi said:
“You’re lucky today. If it weren’t for two good-hearted people, your injuries would have been more than just a fracture.”
“What do you mean?”
“He knew we went to Granny Sun’s house, which means the killer is very likely to be close to us, watching our every move these days.”
Gu Yiran nodded, believing Lin Yi’s reasoning made sense.
“At the time of the accident, the killer parked his car outside your house, which shows he knows about you, but how? The answer is simple, tracking.”
Lin Yi paused, then continued:
“Your counter-surveillance skills are not bad, but still, the killer managed to track you without a sound. Think about it, how skilled must the other party be?”
“With such advanced counter-surveillance skills, could the killer’s abilities be poor? If no one had discovered you at the time, or the car hadn’t hit and killed you, I guess the killer would likely come after you himself, and with your skills, you probably couldn’t stop him.”
“Think about why he dares to be so arrogant. Isn’t it because he’s skilled and bold? Ordinary people really couldn’t do such a thing.”
After listening to Lin Yi’s analysis, Gu Yiran felt frightened.
It made sense.
“Rest well these days. Stay in the hospital and don’t go out.”
“What about you?”
“If he dares to come after me, I will kill him.”
“I know you’re capable, but like Brother Li said, don’t be impulsive.”
“Rest assured, I have a plan.”
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Zhang Wenli walked in with fruit in her hands.
“I just went out and bought some fruit for you. Have some in your spare time.”
“Thank you Sister-in-law.”
“Why be polite; it’s not like you’re an outsider,” Zhang Wenli said as she came in:
“Your leg has just been fixed; don’t move around too much. Let Lin Yi and the others handle the office work; you rest up.”
“I got it, Sister-in-law.”
“Where did the head nurse go? I have something to find her for, and she’s actually not even here!”
While they were talking, they suddenly heard noisy voices from outside.
Lin Yi and Gu Yiran looked towards the door instinctively.
Zhang Wenli was the head nurse, and separate from the doctors’ system. In the department, she was the highest authority. And yet, someone dared to speak to her in that tone?
“What’s going on?”
Hearing Zhang Wenli’s voice, a woman about her age with short hair but a pretty face walked in.
“Where have you been? There’s a form that needs your signature, and I couldn’t find you,” the woman said reluctantly:
“Also, according to hospital regulations, all patients are equal, so how come a few relatives from your family are always here? Is this department run by your family?”
Lin Yi glanced at the woman speaking; she was wearing a nurse’s uniform, indicating she was not from the nursing department leadership, but likely one of the department staff.
But in the orthopedic department, Zhang Wenli is the head nurse, so she is the highest authority, someone daring to speak like this was strange.
“Liu Yan, who do you think you’re talking to, don’t you know your place?”
Although Zhang Wenli was usually nice, she wasn’t someone to be trifled with and snapped back immediately.
The woman named Liu Yan faltered in her dominance.
She had wanted to overpower Zhang Wenli but failed.
“I’m just speaking the truth. With so many patients, why are you lingering here? Aren’t you afraid of gossip?”
“Whether people gossip is my concern; what’s it to you?” Zhang Wenli retorted:
“Let me tell you, as long as you are working under me, you better know your role!”
Liu Yan’s face grew ugly as she coldly continued:
“We’ll see about that!”
She left a harsh word and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, two nurses at the door hurried in.
“Sister Li, calm down, she’s just full of herself; it’s not worth stooping to her level.”
“Exactly, we still have to work here. Plus, I heard that the management has made a decision, if you oppose her, it’ll be tough for you later on.”
“I’ve been holding back this anger for a long time,” Zhang Wenli said:
“She comes to me pointing fingers, who does she think she is?”
“It’s mainly because the management has made a decision; otherwise, she wouldn’t dare.”
“Fine, go back to work. I’m not afraid of them.”
“Sister Li, we’ll go first.”
“Go ahead.”
The ward quieted down, and Lin Yi said:
“Sister-in-law, what’s happening? A nursing unit leader dares to push you around?”
