Chapter 182 – Baseball Bat
Without much left to do, Lin Yi opened the browser and typed in Li Cihua in the search bar. Everything was nice and proper in official news, but a couple of forums touched on the topic of Cihuas darker side
They werent very useful to Lin Yi, and he opened a new page to search about Miracle Doctor Kang. Lin Yi had planned on doing the research since he was about to make it big in the medical world himself, but the fact that the doctor was Xiaobos grandfather was a bit coincidental.
Men simply couldnt have no money The old man wasnt very generous with him, but Lin Yi never complained about that too much, even if his payments were tens or hundreds of kuai per mission Even the funds involved in the mission were higher than the reward!
His shifu, on the other hand, was different. Hed always sent the mission rewards to Old Lin after taking the organizations cut from them.
Yet the shitty old men only gave Lin Yi his cut in hundreds Lin Yi was used to it by that point- the only possibility was that Old Lin was pocketing the money. He was more or less a father figure to Lin Yi, however, and Lin Yi decided to just let it be while he pretended to be oblivious of it- the guy did raise him, after all, and he didnt have it that bad, with clothes to wear and food to eat
What Lin Yi couldnt understand was why Old Lin lived life like he was poor even after pocketing the money! Was he the modern Glan Terrace or something?
(this is what showed up in google translate, no idea who that is)
He had Chu Pengzhans monthly salary now, but Lin Yi decided that he needed an income source of his own Who knew what was even up with this mission, after all? He had to have some sort of safety measure in place
He was in love with his current life, going to and coming home from school everyday with good bros at school and nice girls to fall in love with But what if he became unemployed..?
Judging from the comments online, the brand of Miracle Doctor Kang was pretty solid. What the customers werent pleased about, however, was the shortage of the hot-selling medicine the doctor sold The demand was overwhelming the supply, proving how miraculous the medicine was.
Lin Yi didnt know what the golden creation medicine looked like, but he was confident that Old Lins recipe wouldnt be too far off from his. The market would most likely be split into two should he carry his plan out.
Lin Yi didnt have anything to do the next morning, and wasnt planning on driving himself to school. Mengyao and Yushu yawned as they came down the stairs, evidently staying up for the concert yesterday. Lin Yi, on the other hand, didnt see the appeal in the star- she was a little bit prettier than Mengyao and Yushu, but that was due to the effects and makeup she had had on her. Mengyao and Yushu were definitely on the same level with her in terms of natural beauty, and Lin Yi found that looking at the two girls he was living with was far better than looking at some superstar on a tv screen.
That concert yesterday was sooo good!! Wonder when Hans gonna have one in Songshan. Yushu said, the concert still fresh on her mind.
Songshans not a capital city, and not a special economic one either Its probably not gonna come anytime soon Yao Yao said. We gotta buy the concerts CD later, I still wanna watch more.
Yeah! Well go buy it this afternoon, see if they sell any CDs near school Yushu nodded in agreement. But the ones near school are mostly pirated Well have to go to a bookstore for the official one
Lin Yi, Mengyao called, turning to face the daydreaming Lin Yi. Go buy us Xu Shihans 2011 concert CD if you have time this afternoon. The first part started a month ago, so theyre definitely selling it now.
Uh okay. Lin Yi nodded as he looked at the two fans, not minding buying a CD for them- it wasnt a big deal.
Hah, youre so smart, Yao Yao! We dont have to go so far anymore now that we have Shield Bro! Yushu was just groaning about how far the bookstore was when Mengyao handed the whole task to Lin Yi- it was a one km trip, and Yushu was nothing but overjoyed that she didnt have to go.
Hes not receiving a salary for hitting on girls, you know! Of course we need to give him stuff to do. Mengyao said, curling her lips as she glared at Lin Yi.
Ha Lin Yi smiled bitterly- him hitting on girls wasnt really her business, was it..? Shouldnt it be fine as long as he didnt hit on the Miss herself Even followers and lackeys needed their own love life
Lin Yi made sure to see if Tang Yin was fine at the bus stop when Li Fu passed by the slums- he let out a breath of relief when he didnt see the gangster bothering her today.
Zou Ruoming was pissed- yes, very pissed indeed!! Lin Yi and Tang Yin, a couple?!
Ruoming, naturally, was aware of Lin Yis confession and Tang Yins shy acceptance of his feelings- the school was only that big, after all, and there was no way a Big Four would be oblivious to an event like that.
Hed planned everything quite nicely from the start, too, thinking of starting with Tang Yins mom as he forged the illusion that Tang Yin was his girlfriend, forcing Tang Yin to accept him after everyone else in the school was convinced that the two were a couple!
The plan wasnt even on the track yet when Lin Yi butted in out of nowhere, fucking everything up and even slapping him across the face, turning him into a living joke!!
The humiliation only sparked a deep hate towards Lin Yi- he had been planning on having his brother Zou Ruoguang teach Lin Yi a lesson, but decided to wait for a more opportune moment since it hadnt been that long ago since the Heibao Bro incident
After all, Heibao Bro was facing charges that would put him in jail! Zhong Fabai had held the whole thing back from reaching his son, but even a man like Fabai couldnt manage to get Heibao out! It was clear proof of the gravity of the situation.
In truth, Songshan was no regular high school- it was a school with deep connections and a powerful background. Zou Ruoming could imagine Zhong Pinliang being expelled for the whole thing already if it wasnt for his uncle on the board of directors.
As a result, Ruoming held it in, waiting for the time to come Only to have the rumors hit him out of nowhere like a baseball bat!!
Tang Yin, accepting Lin Yis confession?! Seriously, what the fuck!! Ruoming couldnt understand- that fucking Lin Yi wasnt even that much better than him! He was equally cocky, equally tyrannical, equally infamous- so why was it that Tang Yin could choose Lin Yi but not him?!
