Chapter 42 - Twice A Day

Dont think Ill back down just cause youre swinging your boobs around! Id rather go look at p*rn when I get back!! Lin Yis mouth twitched, unwilling to succumb to Lingshans boobs or her finger. Firstly, you were pressing on my wound! Would I be moaning if you hadnt been attacking my freaking wound!? Secondly! Whats this about being unable to face your family and friends again? What about me then? Use your brain a little! So the law treats everyone equally only when women arent involved, I see? Tell me, how am I supposed to meet my family and friends?

Lingshan froze, not expecting the rhetoric from Lin Yi. After all, she was just about to say that girls and boys were different, when Lin Yi pulled the whole law treats everyone equally out.

She was a police officer; shed be stepping on her own foot if she argued against Lin Yis statement.

Speechless and flustered, it was all Lingshan could do to point her finger at Lin Yi, taking a long while before calming herself with a deep breath. What was with her today? Was she still the same calm and collected Song Lingshan?

Shed never get angry at almost anything, and always kept a clear head. How many times had she lost her cool already, on just this one day?

It was that Lin Yis fault, always poking her right where she didnt want it!!

Lingshan had calmed down at this point, and she decided to look at things objectively. Lin Yi was right- she was the one who pressed on his wound seeking revenge. He wouldnt have moaned if she hadnt done that, and no one would have misunderstood anything at all if she hadnt moved her hand about near Lin Yis crotch.

It could be said that she was responsible for all her problems today, in all honesty. Lin Yi shouldnt be blamed at all. It displeased her very much so, but she lowered her head regardless. I apologize for my outburst. Can I have your statement now?

Yeah. Lin Yi replied, not expecting the sudden change in attitude.

Your name? Lingshan had already reverted back to the cool headed police officer; nothing like the flustered girl from before.

Lin Yi. Lin Yi answered, very cooperative. He didnt want to make things hard for the girl- his barrage of words were really mainly for avenging his pressed-on wound, and iIt was naturally true that girls took harder hits from misunderstandings like that, far more than guys did. Like his little episode with Chen Yushu this morning, for example- it hadnt affected his daily life at all, and Yushu wasnt treating him with disgust or anything of the sort.

Age? Lingshan continued.

Eighteen. Barely a grown-up. Lin Yi smiled.

Lingshans face reddened instantly- it seemed as if Lin Yi was implying something, as if it were legal for her to help him out just now, since he was no longer underage Wha-! Thats it! I cant take this anymore!! She wasnt going to get anything done at this rate.

It appeared that she hadnt managed to sort herself out yet. Shed made sure to consult Huaijun Bro for some advice when he got back- shed never seen the guy lose control over his emotions and facial expressions before, always maintaining an air of solemnity. Lingshan respected that to the highest degree.

Describe what happened! Lingshan exhaled as she continued the questioning.

It was finished soon after, and Lingshan hurriedly left the room under the suspicious, evasive, and disdainful gazes of the three people outside- she could physically feel her face warming up as she avoided Li Fu, Mengyao, and Yushus eyes.

Mister Lin, are you okay now? Li Fu was startled and a little doubtful- it was a gunshot, after all! Shouldnt the kid be bedridden for at least a couple of days?

Yeah. Lin Yi answered.

Twice a day, hm? Yushu whispered, grinning as she passed by Lin Yis side.

Hah? Lin Yi paused, understanding Yushus meaning an instant after. Twice a day my ass, theyre both misunderstandings!!

Mengyao, on the other hand, stayed silent as she gave Lin Yi a cold look. With that, she left the room as well, pulling Yushu along with her.

Thats just how Yao Yao is I hope you dont mind, Mister Lin. Li Fu waited until the girls left before speaking. He put a hand on Lin Yis shoulder. Youve saved Yao Yao today, we are truly grateful. Ill make sure this reaches the chairmans ears when he returns!

That wont be necessary. Lin Yi smiled courteously. Id be undeserving of my salary if I didnt do this much.

Hahaha! Li Fu laughed joyfully. Well, were grateful no matter what.

Also, Uncle Fu, its more complicated than just a simple bank robbery. According to that Baldy, theres a Cihua Bro who planned the whole thing. The robbery was just a cover for kidnapping Chu Mengyao! Lin Yi said. I dont know who the mastermind behind this Cihua guy is, but I think you guys should still look into the matter yourselves- it wont be enough with just the police involved.

Yes, I understand. Ill make sure to relay this information to the chairman, as well. Li Fu said with a nod, suspicious himself. The kidnappers did choose to move right after Chu Pengzhan left- there mightve been some sort of connection there.

Lin Yi didnt say anything else- it was the Chu houses business, after all.

He was walking to the Bentley when he saw Song Lingshans police car pass by in the parking lot. He smiled at her, receiving a death glare in return. The officer only sped the car up, hoping to rid herself of Lin Yis face as soon as possible.

Lin Yi got in the car with Li Fu only to find Yushu and Mengyao already seated at the back. The two seemed to be talking about something before Lin Yi got on, immediately quieting down as soon as he entered. The atmosphere wasnt very light or joyful.

The two had been discussing about what to do with Lin Yi right after getting in the car. Mengyao was unyielding in having Lin Yi fired, whereas Yushu thought Lin Yis presence to be a nice addition to the house. Theyd have breakfast every morning now, too.

The statement had angered Mengyao- was food the only thing on Yushus mind? There were plenty of top tier chefs serving them, what good was a farmer in comparison to that?

The two girls, as a result, went silent before Lin Yi even entered the car- his presence only intensified it.

Li Fu didnt bother parking in front of Yushus villa; he assumed that the two were going to be living together for some time anyway.

Li Fu left after dropping the three off- he still had to have dinner prepared for the kids. Naturally, Lin Yi was a kid to him as well.

Stop! Mengyao called as Lin Yi stepped into the villa.

What is it? Lin Yi asked, his head turning back to Mengyao. He could tease Song Lingshan, but Mengyao was off limits- she was his employer, after all. There was a certain amount of respect he was obliged to provide, and he was tasked with the responsibility of studying with her, living with her, and, as Uncle Chu put it, making her happy. As such, Lin Yi always made sure to maintain a positive attitude when dealing with Mengyao.
