After leaving the warehouse, Lin Yi found Gao Zongyuan, and the two drove back to the hospital.
Gao Zongyuan didn’t ask what Lin Yi had done.
The truth behind the scenes was not something he could comprehend.
When they returned to the hospital, both of Liang Jinming’s parents were there.
"Uncle Liang, Aunt Zhao, this is my fault, I didn’t take good care of him," Lin Yi said.
"I had expected this day to come," Liang Zhendong said:
"Going out every day to indulge, eventually, he’d meet someone who doesn’t put up with him, just take it as a lesson learned."
Clearly, Liang Zhendong didn’t know the truth, assuming it was caused by a fight with someone else.
Since there was no life-threatening danger, and the doctor said there would be no lasting effects, naturally, he didn’t say much more.
Moreover, at their level, they were accustomed to those unsavory dealings.
In their eyes, small scuffles are nothing as long as no one was seriously hurt.
"But part of the responsibility is mine."
"I know you are on good terms, but you don’t have to shoulder everything yourself."
Liang Zhendong said: "If you truly feel guilty, just spend more time with him. I don’t expect him to be like you, getting even halfway there would be enough."
Lin Yi chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’ll do my best."
After chatting for a while, Lin Yi and the others trickled out of the ward.
Liang Jinming’s mother stayed to care for him, so no other people were needed.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Yi didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he found the hospital director, Guofeng Miao.
As the director, he naturally knew about what happened last night.
Under normal circumstances, the authorities would certainly want to question him, but Lin Yi managed to suppress the issue, preventing any trouble for him.
However, it wasn’t over yet; the matter was resolved up top, but he still needed to silence those below.
Lin Yi arranged for Guofeng Miao to gather everyone who knew about this event and had them sign a confidentiality agreement.
But these things weren’t signed for nothing; naturally, hush money had to be given.
Once everything was dealt with, it was already past four in the afternoon.
The group found a restaurant opposite the hospital, intending to eat first.
"Old Lin, how are things? Any leads on who did it?"
Lin Yi shook his head, "Not yet, it might take some time."
"Damn it!"
"No need to get angry," Lin Yi said:
"I’ve done similar things too; you can’t allow only the officials to light the fires and not let the common people light a lamp."
Qin Han moved his lips but said nothing, not wanting to worry Ji Qingyan.
Perhaps because they were hungry, the meal was quiet, with everyone eating in silence, saying little.
During this time, Lin Yi thought things through, clearing up the doubts in his mind.
If the other party intended to fight to the bitter end, they wouldn’t have sent these people.
The skill level of all these people combined could only make it a stalemate against a single group, not a strategy for a quick victory or a determined fight.
If it were him, he would have used a thunderous approach to solve the problem, leaving them no chance to struggle.
The only reason was that they must conceal their identity, only being able to hire these temps.
This group was mixed, with varying abilities, and the people they sent were already quite strong.
Even though it wasn’t the best solution, to avoid revealing their identity, they could only gamble with these people.
Ultimately, it must be admitted that the mastermind behind this was extremely skillful, hiding themselves well.
Undoubtedly, the person they feared was him, showing no intent for a bitter confrontation, indicating the other side was someone who knows when to advance and retreat.
Among the known three, Afluo was the most suspicious.
If it wasn’t her, then a newcomer might have entered, complicating the situation further.
All of this would still need investigation before making a judgment.
After the meal, the group went their separate ways, heading home.
Lin Yi sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, trying to find overlooked details from the clues of the events.
Regrettably, there were no new discoveries.
During this time, Lin Yi received a call from Xiao Bing.
The information about the contact person had been roughly compiled.
Whether it was Zhao Kangming, the two researchers, or those hired, they all connected with the same person.
