Chapter 1843: Peerless Scholar

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the ward, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were not in a hurry to leave.

They could vaguely hear Lin Yi’s voice.

It was gentle and pleasant.

In their impression, this was the first time they had heard Lin Yi speak to another person with this kind of att.i.tude and tone.

This was the gentleness that he had hidden in his heart and had never shown to anyone.

At five o’clock in the evening, Ning Che gave Lin Yi something.

Ning Che wanted to persuade Lin Yi to eat something, but she didn’t know how to say it.

If it were her, she would definitely not be able to eat either.

She could only let him slowly calm down. No one else could help.

At around nine in the evening, Qiao Xin arrived.

After resting for a while, her complexion was slightly better, but her mental state had not recovered fully. It was still a little poor.

“Brother Lin, you should go eat something too,” Qiao Xin said, her heart aching.

“Let’s talk about it later. I’m not hungry yet,” Lin Yi said calmly.

Qiao Xin’s thoughts were the same as Ning Che’s. At this time, no one could eat.

Sighing inwardly, Qiao Xin sat in front of the bed and looked at the pale and slender Li Chuhan with an aching heart.

“Brother Lin, when do you think Sister Li will wake up?”

“I got some special medicine from Helan. I’ve already sent someone to get it. We’ll see how it works.”

Lin Yi didn’t have absolute confidence when he spoke.

Just as Ma Xiaoyang had said, it was delivered at the right time. Moreover, it had all been pumped. Under normal circ.u.mstances, there shouldn’t be a big problem.

However, she was determined to die. This was the most critical factor.

As a result, Lin Yi couldn’t be sure if he could wake up, even if he was the most outstanding surgeon in Huaxia.

“Brother Lin, there’s a bed next door. Go rest for a while. I’ll watch from here,” Qiao Xin said with concern. “We definitely can’t continue like this.”

“I can still hold on.” Lin Yi’s tone was slow as he looked at Li Chuhan, his eyes filled with love and gentleness.

“I’ve spent too little time with her in the past. I want to spend more time with her.”

Time was like a trickle of water, always pa.s.sing by unintentionally.

Just like that, a day and a night pa.s.sed, and Li Chuhan was still the same.

The special medicine Lin Yi got from Helan didn’t improve even after he gave it to Li Chuhan.

After three days and three nights, not only did Li Chuhan’s stable vital signs not improve, but they even showed signs of decline.

She was really looking to die. A world without Lin Yi was h.e.l.l for her.

She might as well use this approach to find him.

Because wherever he was, it was paradise.

Lin Yi grabbed the blanket tightly and sobbed in the pure white ward.

Qiao Xin couldn’t bear it. In her heart, Lin Yi had always been an indomitable

man.

He would not be depressed or cry.

However, at this moment, he looked especially helpless.

Over the past few days, he had been talking and singing non-stop. In the end, even he might not know what he was doing.

He was just an ordinary person. He didn’t want Li Chuhan to die. He wanted her to hear his voice.

Even if this method was a little stupid, it was still representative of the deepest form of love.

“Sister Li…”

Qiao Xin grabbed Li Chuhan’s other hand tightly. “Sister Li, I beg you. Open your eyes and look at us. Brother Lin isn’t dead. He’s been waiting for you to wake up. I beg you…”

Beep beep beep!

At this moment, there was a sound on the ECG, and there was a violent beat.

Even though it returned to a weak state in the next second, this meant that her heart rate had fluctuated!

This meant that her situation was showing signs of improvement!

Lin Yi and Qiao Xin looked at each other and saw the brightness in the other’s eyes!

Despite this simple heartbeat being only about seventy percent of a normal person’s, for the two of them, it was a sign of life!

“Sister Li!”

Qiao Xin burst into tears again, but this time, they were tears of joy.

As a cardiologist, she knew exactly what this meant. With a bit more persistence, Li Chuhan could be brought back to life.

Lin Yi tightly held her hand, trying to transfer his body warmth to her.

He was just as happy, though he didn’t show it as openly as Qiao Xin.

They say extremes breed reversals. The joy after great sorrow is something others cannot fully understand.

After that intense heartbeat, Li Chuhan’s condition remained largely unchanged.

Until three hours later, when another strong heartbeat was detected!

Through these subtle signs, they were able to determine that she was likely out of immediate danger.

Now, it was just a matter of waiting.

By five the next morning, after a whole night had pa.s.sed.

The intervals between her heartbeats shortened from three hours to every half hour, becoming more frequent.

Only those who had experienced it would understand this joy.

At around seven o’clock, Qiao Xin’s record showed that her heart was beating more frequently.

It would jump every ten minutes or so.

In Lin Yi’s opinion, if she was lucky, she might wake up today.

At this moment, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che walked in with breakfast in their hands.

In the few days that Lin Yi had been accompanying her, the two of them had come to deliver food for them.

But today, the two of them realized that something was different.

Whether it was Lin Yi or Qiao Xin, there was no longer that sad expression on their faces. Instead, there was a hint of vitality.

It could even be said that they were happy!

“Is the situation improving?” Ning Che probed.

“Yes.” Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

“Her heart rate is slowly returning to normal. Other indicators are showing signs of rebounding. With any luck, she’ll show a reaction today. As for when she’ll wake up, we still can’t be sure, but she’s doing much better. It’s wonderful.”

Qiu Yuluo realized that when Lin Yi mentioned this, he seemed to have become a chatterbox.

It was just a simple question, but he said so much in one go.

This was because he and Ning Che did not have much of a relationship with this woman called Li Chuhan. Even if he told him about these things, there was not much meaning.

But even so, he still talked at length about this woman.

He was happy in inside, and he was expressing his joy through this.

Qiu Yuluo didn’t dare to think about it anymore. If something really happened to the woman on the bed, what would Lin Yi’s emotions be like?

“It’s good that there are signs of improvement. Finally, there’s no need to worry.” Ning Che said.

“You two don’t have to stay up like this. Come and eat something.”

“Thank you, Sister Ning. You guys can eat with Brother Lin. I still want to see Sister Li.”

“She’s already fine. What’s there to look at?” Ning Che said.

“Come and eat. You’ll lose at least ten kilograms in the next few days. Your chest is flat from hunger. Do you still want to get married in the future?”

Qiu Yuluo shook her head speechlessly. Ning Che was truly hopeless.

It was one thing to tease those young hunks, but why did he have to tease the young lady?

“These past few days have indeed made me lose some weight, but luckily I’m still bigger than Sister Qiu, so I’m not worried.”

Qiu Yuluo,”???”

‘How did I get dragged into this?’

Ning Che glanced at Qiu Yuluo and deliberately puffed out her chest. “With those two tiny sesame seeds of hers, she’s not even as big as Brother Lin. You need to compare yourself to someone more impressive.”

“Hehe, got it.”

With signs of improvement in Li Chuhan’s condition, the atmosphere in the room lightened.

“Alright, enough talk. Come over and eat something. We haven’t eaten yet either; we came straight here first thing in the morning.”

“Thankyou, Sister Ning.”

Since the rescue room was essentially a small ICU, eating there wasn’t appropriate.

Qiao Xin just grabbed a couple of buns and a cup of soy milk to make do, allowing her to keep an eye on Li Chuhan as well.

The three of them went to the other wards outside.

“What about Cao Jiadu and Chen Guanjie?”

“He was court-martialed,” Ning Che said.

“But this won’t be exposed. We don’t know what to do with it yet.”

“After such a thing happened, they definitely won’t publicize it. I reckon not many people know when the two of them will die.”

“That’ll most likely be the case. After all, it’s not a very glamorous incident.”

Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

“Cao Jiadu and Chen Guanjie are both dead. Has the Central Guards Brigade found a new person to lead them?”

“I heard from Boss Liu that Team 5 to 8 of the Central Guard Brigade might be taken over by Elder Liang. After all, the research unit doesn’t have combat tasks. But Team 4 has already had their mission on the island suspended and will be arranged to return to the country soon. As for the new group leader, it’s still uncertain who it’ll be, but it might be someone parachuted in from the Yanlong Team.”

Although Lin Yi often slacked off at the Central Guard Brigade, he was aware of many things.

The Yanlong Team was the highest combat unit in the Central Guard Brigade, directly commanded by Lu Beichen.

In other words, they were the backbone of the Central Guard Brigade. The other four teams, while also handling combat tasks, served more as a talent reserve. Once they reached a suitable level, they were sent to the Yanlong Team.

“Is parachuting someone in appropriate? With Chen Guanjie out of the picture, shouldn’t someone from Team 4 be promoted?”

“That’s true, but over the years, many in Team 4 have been influenced by Chen Guanjie and have become his and the w.a.n.g family’s loyalists. Simply promoting someone from the team wouldn’t be suitable. Otherwise, Elder Lu wouldn’t have had them drop their mission and return to the base for debriefing.”

“Why so much fanfare?”

“Indeed, Elder Lu is really angry this time.”

As he spoke, Ning Che even looked around and said with shifty eyes.

“Moreover, I heard through the grapevine that Elder Lu is preparing to remove all the suspicious people and send them back home. As for those who have clear connections, even their families will suppress them.”

“That’s interesting. They came to the Central Guards Brigade to acc.u.mulate merit points. After they retire, they’ll develop their family. Now, Old Master Lu has wiped them out, leaving nothing behind.”

“Because over the years, they have obtained many benefits under the secret support of the Central Guards Brigade and the w.a.n.g family. They are similar to the feudal lords of ancient times. They usually don’t show off, but their secret strength is ridiculously strong.”

Lin Yi rolled his eyes and remembered the Qian family he had met in Yuhang. Ning Che might be referring to people like them.

However, the Qian family was considered trash.

If those people who retired from the Central Guards Brigade only had this little bit of strength, the Central Guards Brigade would not be able to survive.

However, Lu Beichen’s actions could be considered tough.

They secretly suppressed these people and maintained the stability of the Central Guards Brigade.

However, there were two sides to everything.

Lu Beichen’s actions could not be smooth sailing either. One could imagine the pressure.

Presumably, he knew this too.

However, for the sake of Huaxia’s prosperity and stability, he endured all the pressure.

An unparalleled scholar!

“If this continues, the future of Huaxia will definitely be uneasy.”

Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che nodded. The former said,

“Although it’s not as crazy, this operation is similar to the withdrawal of va.s.sals in ancient times. Although an arm can’t win against a thigh, it will definitely have a bad impact.”

“I can predict that those wretched families will definitely cause trouble in the dark. It just depends on how bold they are and how much commotion they can cause.”

“That’s right. Let’s just wait and watch the show. Perhaps there’s something we can use,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. It’s not working hours now. I don’t want to be a workaholic.”

Ning Che looked at Lin Yi and said.

“I don’t think there’s anything else going on in the country. Do you still want to hide the fact that you came back from the dead? There shouldn’t be a need for this.”

Lin Yi nodded. He had faked his death to take revenge on the w.a.n.g family. Now that the matter was settled, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Moreover, there was no way to hide such a thing.

As a living person, he could not stay in his room every day. Sooner or later, he would have to go out and meet people.

“Let nature take its course. There’s no need to advertise this matter with great fanfare. We’ll take it one step at a time.”

Lin Yi was not in a good mood. He ate silently, as if there was something on his mind.

He was running away.

To be more precise, he was avoiding her.

He had yet to come up with a reasonable solution. In other words, he had yet to figure out how to face Ji Qingyan.

This was a big problem. He had to spend more time thinking about how to deal withit.

“Then we’ll let nature take its course. It’s not a big deal anyway.”

Ning Che threw the breakfast on the table to the side. “There’s no point in eating these things. Let’s find a place to get a ma.s.sage. Let’s drink.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll go back and take a look.”

Li Chuhan’s condition improved, and Lin Yi’s mood returned to normal.

The night before, Lin Yi gave Li Chuhan a comprehensive examination. All the indicators showed good signs.

Therefore, he was not too worried.

Moreover, after staying here for four days, he had to find a place to brush his teeth and wash his face. Otherwise, he would start to smell.

“It’s so early in the morning and you two are already going there? That’s not a good idea.”

“What’s wrong with that? I’m full of energy in the morning, and some things are done in the morning. The effect is unexpectedly good.” Ning Che winked.

“Why are you telling her this? She doesn’t understand.”

Qiu Yuluo, “…”

Lin Yi returned to the ward and looked at the numbers on the equipment. The indicators were very good, even better than the previous night.

Perhaps she would even recover that night.

All he had to do was wait.

After accompanying Li Chuhan in front of the hospital bed for a while, the three of them left the hospital when it was almost noon. Then, they went to the bathhouse to relax comfortably.

In the private room, Ning Che ordered a lot of things to go with the wine. The three of them had a tacit understanding and drank to their heart’s content. They didn’t even need to be persuaded and just drank gla.s.s after gla.s.s.

After such a thing happened, they really needed to get drunk to ease their nervousness.

“I heard from Qiao Xin that Zhao Mo and the others came on the day of my memorial service?” Lin Yi held his wine gla.s.s and said calmly.
