Chapter 2026: Not Strong or Well-Equipped
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After exchanging a few polite words with Yun Shu, the group left Furong Xiang and drove to Yan Ci’s home.
When Chen Teng and Zhou Xinyu saw Yan Ci’s large apartment, which measured over 200 square meters, they were a bit surprised.
Given the property prices in Linxi Bay, such a large apartment must be worth at least 40 million yuan.
Even with a mortgage, the monthly payments would be in the hundreds of thousands.
Not many could afford that, so they assumed it might be rented.
Once they arrived at Yan Ci’s home, they chatted briefly before Lin Yi stood up to leave. Yan Ci accompanied him to the elevator.
“With my aunt staying here for the next few days, I won’t be able to have you over. But don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you later.”
After saying this, Yan Ci gave Lin Yi a quick kiss on the cheek.
“Don’t worry, you’re not getting away from me.”
Lin Yi playfully patted Yan Ci’s behind and gave it a little squeeze, prompting her to playfully scold him before he left her home.
After exiting the building, Lin Yi decided not to go anywhere else but to visit Wang Ying, as it had been a while since he last saw her.
However, after some thought, he realized he saw Li Chuhan the least, so he changed his route and headed to her place.
He wanted to spend more time with her in the limited time he had.
“Brother Lin, you’re back.”
When Lin Yi opened the door and entered, he found Qiao Xin there as well.
“Your nightgown is so short it barely covers your behind. Have some decency; it’s indecent.”
“Oh come on, I’m still young. I need to have some fun, or I won’t be able to when I get older,” Qiao Xin shamelessly replied.
At that moment, Li Chuhan approached and handed Lin Yi a pair of slippers.
“Was work busy today? Did you strain your wound?”
“I’m doing mostly desk work, so it’s not as tiring as you think. Don’t worry.” Lin Yi thumped his chest and said.
“Besides, with my physical condition and the medicine you brought me, I’m almost fully recovered.”
“Even so, you need to rest more. Any vigorous activity could easily reopen the wound.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Li Chuhan smiled gently. “Xinxin, help Brother Lin change his bandages. I’ll go make dinner.”
“No need, I already had dinner,” Lin Yi interjected.
“Then I’ll prepare your medicine. The wound still needs to be disinfected.”
“Stop, stop, stop. You two go sit on the sofa. I didn’t come here to be pampered. I’ll handle it myself.”
Qiao Xin moved skillfully, finding the medical kit with ease.
Since she wasn’t as proficient as Li Chuhan, she often took on the task of nursing, and her technique had become quite efficient and straightforward.
In less than ten minutes, the bandage was changed, and the anti-inflammatory and healing drops were administered.
In addition, Qiao Xin thoughtfully brought some fruit for Lin Yi, making for a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
“Brother Lin, has anything interesting happened at the precinct lately? Tell me about it.”
“No major cases yet, but we’ve got a tricky inheritance dispute that might take some time to resolve.”
“Inheritance disputes aren’t interesting,” Qiao Xin commented. “Homicide cases are much more exciting.”
“Don’t say that. You can’t joke about such things.”
“Got it, Brother Lin,” Qiao Xin replied with a cheeky grin.
After tending to Lin Yi’s wound, the three of them sat on the sofa, chatting and watching TV, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Ring, ring, ring!
Around 10 PM, Lin Yi received a call from Li Xianghui, who sounded a bit urgent.
“Where are you?”
“At home. What’s up?”
“I can’t believe you forgot. The crackdown operation starts in the next few days. We’re all back at the station. Hurry up and get over here.”
“I completely forgot about that,” Lin Yi laughed. “I’m on my way now.”
“Hurry up. We’re waiting on you now.”
“Got it. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi got up from the sofa, and Li Chuhan stood up as well.
“Is something happening at the precinct?”
Lin Yi nodded. “I need to head over and probably won’t be back tonight.”
