2280: Hope Things Turn Out Differently Than Expected

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Xianghui also blinked.

“Is the medicine still on you?”

Li Xianghui closed his eyes and only opened them after a long while.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, “Do you not know where it went?”

Li Xianghui blinked.

Confirming his suspicion, Lin Yi felt much relieved.

...

Solving a case was just like this: when you found a clue and then slowly unraveled it, the thread of truth would flow as smoothly as silk.

“Brother Li, I’ve asked everything I wanted to.”

Lin Yi leaned down and whispered in Li Xianghui’s ear:

“Don’t worry, this matter won’t end here, I will definitely seek revenge for you.”

This time, Li Xianghui tried hard to shake his head, although the movement was very slight, it clearly conveyed his intention.

Lin Yi gave him a comforting look.

“I have it under control.”

Because Li Xianghui was still very weak, Lin Yi didn’t want to delay him too long.

He walked to the door and found the ICU director.

“Brother Wang, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Regarding the patient named Li Xianghui, even if his condition allows, don’t move him out yet, wait for my notice. But in the meantime, if his wife wants to visit him, I’d appreciate it if you could accommodate her.”

“What are you talking about, your word is good enough here,” the ICU director patted his shoulder. “As long as it’s something I can do, it’s no problem at all here.”

“Then thank you, Brother Wang, I owe you a drink.”

“I’ll hold you to that.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Yi left the ICU.

Although he might be discharged tonight with good luck, to avoid any mishaps, Lin Yi decided to let Li Xianghui stay a bit longer.

After leaving, Lin Yi went to the ward and found Li Xianghui’s wife, Zhang Wenli, with Ling Han by her side.

“Lin Yi, what specific time can Brother Li come out?”

“The situation is pretty good, but I had the hospital run an extra test for safety,” Lin Yi said.

“But I’ve already spoken to the doctor. You can go see him anytime you like, don’t worry.”

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Zhang Wenli was much relieved.

Being the head nurse of Zhonghai Third Hospital, she was familiar with the procedures here, which saved Lin Yi a lot of explanation.

At least he was safe, and she could still visit him, which was what mattered most.

“Is there any progress on the case?” Ling Han asked.

Lin Yi nodded, “Come out for a second, I’ll explain in detail. You’ll need to handle this matter yourself, I don’t trust anyone else.”

“Okay.” Ling Han said seriously.

The two went to the stairwell of the corridor. Lin Yi took out a transparent strip from his pocket, containing several particles the size of sesame seeds.

“What is this?”

“Didn’t you find the last piece of Betalek at Wang Mei Jia’s place and prepared it for testing, then suddenly there was a car accident?”

Ling Han nodded.

“This is what I found on Brother Li’s clothes, and we have confirmed it’s the residue of that piece of Betalek,” Lin Yi said.

“Now the problem lies here. Take this to get tested. If the compound belongs to Betalek, then there’s another cause for Ma Dehong’s death; if it’s counterfeit, then the problem is right here.”

Looking at the transparent bag in Lin Yi’s hand, Ling Han’s expression was complicated as he took it.

“Team Leader Lin, rest assured, I will handle this well.”

Lin Yi looked at his watch and sighed deeply.

“It’s getting late, I bet the people at the testing agency have already gone home. Anyway, don’t rush it, make sure the results are absolutely accurate.”

“I understand.”

“Go ahead.”

Ling Han nodded and then left.

Lin Yi stood still, gazing at her departing figure, his expression wistful.

After a long while, Lin Yi stretched lazily, having arranged everything at the hospital, and now all that was left was to wait for the results.
