Chapter 413 – Change of Approach
Ha Tell me then, whats up? Lin Yi was quite pleased. He didnt want to be on this phone call, but Lingshan had admitted to being brain-dead- what else could he say to that?
Lingshan lit up in joy after hearing those words. This Lin Yi didnt take things the hard way, and it seemed like she needed to change her approach into one he couldnt reject whenever she needed his help from now on.
That person who the psycho murderer injured the other day- do you have any way of waking him up? Lingshan asked.
Who? The guy in the room where Guan Xin was held hostage? Lin Yi asked after some thought. A psycho murderer he knew would have to be the one from that day.
Thats right. Hes still unconscious and living on life support. You have any ideas? Lingshan asked, hopeful.
Hm Lin Yi had actually checked on Bojia that day- he was in a really dire condition.
Well, is there a way or not? Lingshan pressed after the silence.
Are there any benefits for me? Lin Yi asked after thinking about it.
Benefits Lingshan was about to say no when she remembered that Lin Yi wasnt in the police force- he had no obligation to be helping her all the time. I can apply for you to be a police officer in name, and youd have a salary every month, except its not a lot
Not interested. Lin Yi rejected immediately. What did that even count as? Lingshan would probably drag him around to help her all day, all for that measly pay.
Then what kind of benefits do you want? Lingshan asked.
Lets just keep that in mind first, I cant think of anything right now. Lin Yi mentioned that without really think about it, and he couldnt come up with any ideas at all. Him helping Lingshan was essentially helping Huaijun anyway. Lingshan coming to him had definitely been prompted by Huaijun as well, and hed pay Huaijun that respect even if he didnt want to help Lingshan. Wheres the patient? Ill go take a look.
The intensive care unit on the twelfth floor. Youll see it once you come up, Ive got some men at the door. Lingshan was still wondering what Lin Yi wanted, not expecting Lin Yi to just put the benefit talk aside like that.
Alright, wait for me then. Lin Yi hung up and turned to Tang Yin. You wanna come up with me?
Its important business, Ill just stay out Ill keep my dad company. Tang Yin hesitated. As pretty as Lingshan was, she gave off an aura that pressured her. From how things stood, Lin Yi clearly didnt like Lingshan at all, calling her brain-dead and retarded all the time. He wasnt going to play, too- it was something important.
Alright, Ill come see you later. Well go back to school together. Lin Yi nodded and pushed open the door, leaving the Tangs.
He took the elevator to the twelfth floor, and exited it to see two police officers sitting outside a hospital room. He made his way over with quick steps.
Mister Lin, is it? Captain Songs waiting for you inside. The officers guarding the room had gotten instructions from Lingshan already- they gave him a nod and let Lin Yi in.
Lin Yi entered the room to see a huge breathing machine with a person laying under it- that person was Liu Bojia, very pale and skinny compared to the last time hed seen him. Lingshan stood beside the breathing machine, turning to Lin Yi as he walked in. Lin Yi, you have a plan?
Lin Yi didnt say anything- he went over and closely inspected Bojia to determine his condition. It wasnt until awhile after that he slowly shook his head, uttering three words. Its very hard.
Hard, but Lin Yi didnt say impossible! That meant that there was a way, and Lingshans tense emotions relaxed. You have a way?
Yes, but I feel like its not worth it. Its too much effort. Lin Yi shook his head.
Lingshan bit her lip- she didnt think Lin Yi was trying to put on airs, since Doctor Yang had briefed her on what the situation was. As things were, the hospital wasnt capable of doing anything; if Lin Yi had a way, it would most definitely be a difficult one.
Miss Miss Braindeads begging you, okay..? Lingshan gritted her teeth and managed to get the whole thing out. After all, shed determined that the soft approach appealed to Lin Yi, and while the nickname Miss Braindead gave her an urge to just drop dead in a way that involved pulling Lin Yi down with her, she decided to endure it for Lin Yis help. She swore to herself that if Lin Yi were to fall into her hands one day shed let him taste it!
Ha Ill give it a try then. Lin Yi found himself quite helpless to what Lingshan was saying- he couldnt really reject her after that, could he? But Im not good enough yet. Ill only be able to wake him up, but Im not sure how long hell live, theres no guarantee. Theres too many things wrong with his body.
Youre saying that theres hope of curing him instead of just waking him up for a short period? Lingshan could hear the implications in Lin Yis words.
I cant do it, but my old man at home probably could. Lin Yi said. But, my old man wont be coming here, so if you want him to die Ill wake him up for you right now. If you want to save his life, then leave him alone for now, let him lay there.
Um Lingshan was in a difficult position. She wanted to get new clues as soon as possible, but if Lin Yi had a way of healing Bojias injuries shed rather not have those clues just yet.
It was different when they didnt have a way- shed thought that just having Bojia speak out a couple sentences was ideal enough, but now that Lin Yi could cure him she didnt want to sacrifice an innocent.
Call me after you make up your mind. Im going back. Lin Yi smiled, aware of what Lingshan was considering. Im on limited lunch break time.
No need to think about it. Heal him when youre able to. Lingshan shook her head.
Oh? Lin Yi was a bit surprised- he wasnt expecting such decisiveness from Lingshan. It seemed that hed underestimated her, she actually had quite strong principles of justice and responsibility. Alright, Ill try my best. Ill give you an answer as soon as I can.
It was Lingshans turn to be surprised- she never thought that those words would be coming out of Lin Yis mouth! After all, the guy kept using excuses every time she went to him for help, but he was saying things like try my best and as soon as I can!!
Lingshan couldnt adapt to that in time- wasnt this too drastic a change? Could it be because of her change in attitude, was this the result? It had to be, the guy only responded well to a soft approach!
Alright Miss Braindead will be waiting for your phone call then Lingshan felt uncomfortable and awkward to be doing this, but her subordinates werent here, it was only the two of them. Since no one would learn of this shed treat it as a secret between Lin Yi and her, and if this guy really was willing to help then it was fine for her to be a little retarded, that’s what she got for being weaker than him.
Lin Yi didnt know if he knew this girl anymore- shed been calling herself Miss Braindead, and this was the third time! Was she willing to even insult herself just for help?
But killing some of her pride was fine- Lin Yi decided not to go out of his way to correct her. Alright, Im going.
