"Got it, sister-in-law, I definitely won’t smoke before being discharged."
Lin Yi placed his hand on Liang Jinming’s other wrist. The pulse was calm and recovering well.
The rest was just post-surgery recovery.
"Old Lin, have those people been taken care of?" Qin Han asked.
"They’re being interrogated. I’ll handle this matter, no need for you to worry."
Lin Yi looked at Liang Jinming and said remorsefully, "Brother, I’m sorry about this."
"Ah, there’s no need to say that between us. We’ve been brothers for so many years, and I can’t just let you keep helping all the ti. I have to stand up at critical monts too."
"Damn, saying it like that makes us sound really cowardly," Qin Han said.
"Brother Qin, here’s a knife. Why don’t you take a stab and prove you’re a man of loyalty?" Gao Zongyuan said, holding a fruit knife.
"I’ll kick you to death, do I look like Pinduoduo to you?"
After so banter, Lin Yi ordered so takeout, and they settled dinner in the hospital ward.
But when leaving, Qin Han stayed behind to keep Liang Jinming company.
Tomorrow, Gao Zongyuan would take over.
After leaving the ward, Lin Yi and Li Chuhan walked shoulder to shoulder in the hospital for a while. Despite everything, Li Chuhan was still sowhat downcast.
She wasn’t very talkative to begin with, and even less so now.
Lin Yi understood Li Chuhan and knew she was feeling guilty because of Liang Jinming’s situation.
For a long ti, Li Chuhan liked to hide herself, not even acknowledging their relationship in front of others.
Afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for herself.
But such a thing still happened, and it was a huge problem.
It left her feeling conflicted and unable to move past it.
Lin Yi knew that saying anything now wouldn’t help, so he just held her shoulder and walked quietly with her.
Ti heals everything, and no one is an exception.
The two walked on quietly for a while. It was slightly chilly, and Lin Yi took Li Chuhan ho, then drove back to his own place.
When he got ho, Ji Qingyan and the child were already asleep. Lin Yi didn’t dare make a sound as he quietly lay beside them, until dawn.
Early the next morning, during breakfast, Ji Qingyan inquired about Liang Jinming’s condition. Upon learning they were playing cards and smoking in the ward, she didn’t know what to say.
After eating, Lin Yi drove to work.
Work was as usual, with no changes.
During the morning unloading, Lin Yi received a call from the criminal investigation departnt.
They said the investigation results were out, and it was exactly as he had suspected—intentional damage.
Lin Yi asked them to bring the materials over, intending to discuss the matter in person and bring back the package.
After scanning the codes, Lin Yi loaded the delivery items onto the truck, then t with the criminal investigation team at the neighborhood entrance, ready to head over.
...
Xinsheng Garden, Unit 6, 301.
Liu Manzhi and his wife were tidying up the house, the child had already been sent to kindergarten.
"Did they refund the money?" Liu Manzhi’s wife asked.
"Not yet," Liu Manzhi replied:
"I guess the shipping fee will be refunded once they send the package back."
"Now it seems like you can get a refund just by sending the package off," Liu Manzhi’s wife said:
"The kid asked for it today too. If we get it back a day earlier, we can buy him a new one sooner."
Liu Manzhi nodded, "Let check on my phone."
He got up and walked toward the sofa, picking up his phone.
"What the hell, they haven’t sent it off!"
"No way, their efficiency is too slow."
"It must be that courier’s fault!" Liu Manzhi cursed.
"Doesn’t he want to give us a refund?" Liu Manzhi’s wife said:
"I guess he figured out you broke it yourself, so he doesn’t want to refund it."
"Ha..." Liu Manzhi sneered, "They took the stuff, so it’s not up to him anymore."
"That’s true, after all, he has no evidence."
"That’s exactly what I’m banking on," Liu Manzhi said:
"Even if he knows, what can he do? Without evidence, he can only stare blankly."
"It’s not like he’s paying for it, so why go through all this trouble? Just give us the refund easily."
"Who knows what’s on his mind, maybe he’s not too bright, but it doesn’t matter. They’ve taken the package, refunding us is just a matter of ti."
Liu Manzhi boasted:
"Good thing I reacted quickly and ca up with this plan, otherwise we would’ve lost out."
"You’re really impressive, these things are your expertise."
"That’s a given."
Knock, knock, knock—
As Liu Manzhi was feeling smug, a knock ca at the door.
"Coming."
"Wait a minute."
Liu Manzhi’s wife stopped him. "Who’s knocking so early? It’s not that courier, is it?"
"What if it is? He doesn’t have any evidence, don’t worry, it’s fine."
Liu Manzhi answered and got up to open the door.
Opening the door, he indeed saw Lin Yi outside, with the package at his feet, and imdiately put on an unpleasant face.
"What do you want?"
"I’m here to talk about the package. I’ve had it checked, and it was intentionally damaged. If you admit it, take the package now, and I’ll act like nothing happened."
"Ha... are you joking with ?" Liu Manzhi said:
"It was clearly damaged during your transportation, and you’re blaming ?"
Liu Manzhi found this courier quite amusing.
He just said he had soone check it out, without any evidence, claiming it was his doing. He couldn’t understand the courier’s thinking.
With such intelligence, he could only be a courier.
"At this point, there’s no point in denying it."
"Fine, you’re saying I broke it. Do you have evidence?"
Liu Manzhi displayed a fearless deanor.
"If you have evidence, show it. If not, stop talking nonsense."
"Judging by your stance, you don’t plan on admitting anything."
"You guys broke it, how can I admit it?" Liu Manzhi said:
"People should have a conscience. Don’t be ungrateful."
Lin Yi shrugged, "Since you’re not admitting it, I’ll have to let soone else talk to you."
With that, Lin Yi called for the police waiting outside the door to co in.
Seeing the police, Liu Manzhi’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but panic.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"I’m from the city criminal investigation departnt."
One officer showed his phone, displaying an album with dozens of photos, all related to the package.
"After our examination, the damage to the packaging was intentionally caused. You’re now suspected of creating disturbances and fraud. We need to take you in for questioning."
