Chapter 2006: A Small Ant

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That night, in addition to disinfecting Lin Yi, Li Chuhan also gave Lin Yi two medicines to help his wound heal.

Coupled with Lin Yi’s super strong physique, his condition was improving at a visible rate.

When he woke up the next day, he didn’t need anyone to help him walk.

Before going to work, Li Chuhan helped Lin Yi change his dressing and gave him another injection before he left.

“Are you still going to work at the precint these few days?” Li Chuhan asked during breakfast.

“I won’t be going today. I’ll go tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi.

“The wound is very big. I’m afraid you won’t pay attention to it when you’re working. It won’t be good if the wound tears.”

Lin Yi combed Li Chuhan’s soft long hair.

“I’m a doctor myself. I know what I’m doing.”

According to the current situation, Lin Yi knew that it would take at least a week before he could move around freely.

But the problem was that only by going to the precinct could the system tasks be triggered.

As for his wound, as long as he was careful, it wouldn’t be a big issue.

Although he had reached C-cla.s.s, it was still difficult to cope with the current situation with his current abilities, so he needed to improve his skills.

Therefore, Lin Yi decided to rest for another day before going to work at the precinct.

“Then you must be careful. I have a surgery in the morning, so I’ll head to work now,” Li Chuhan said, giving him a rea.s.suring smile. “If anything comes up, remember to call me.”

“Got it, don’t worry.”

After seeing Li Chuhan off, Lin Yi lay on the sofa, chatting with w.a.n.g Ying and Yan Ci about recent events but without mentioning his injury.

Ring ring ring!

Around noon, Lin Yi received a call from Li Xianghui.

“Brother Lin,” Lin Yi answered the phone with a smile.

“You vanished without a trace, where did you go?”

“There were some urgent family matters to attend to, and I forgot to ask for leave,” Lin Yi said.

“Since you’re calling me now, is there something urgent happening?”

“If it’s family matters, I won’t get into it. Focus on handling your family issues, and we can talk later.”

“No, no, if there’s something important, just tell me. My family matters are mostly settled, and I was planning to go back to work tomorrow.”

Lin Yi didn’t want to delay matters at the precinct, fearing it might affect his tasks.

“Then don’t wait until tomorrow, come this afternoon.”

“Alright.”

Without hesitation, Lin Yi agreed, packed a few things, and took a taxi to the precinct.

The people at the precinct weren’t too surprised to see Lin Yi; they were used to his comings and goings.

After all, he was someone special.

Lin Yi made his way to Li Xianghui’s office with ease to find the room quite full.

Gu Yiran, Zhu Junchi, and Zhang Hui were all there.

“Where have you been slacking off? We haven’t seen you for more than half a month,” Zhang Hui teased.

“I had some family matters to deal with, so I couldn’t come to work,” Lin Yi replied with a smile.

“You’re just making excuses,” Zhang Hui said. “Were you at a ma.s.sage parlor, helping underage girls?”

“No way. Someone like me, who’s dedicated to work, wouldn’t let women interfere with important matters.”

“Stop dodging the question, we’re not outsiders,” Li Xianghui said.

“But next time, if you have something urgent, ask for leave. Don’t disappear without a word; it doesn’t look good.”

“Understood,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Brother Li, you called me. Is there a big case?”

“There were two cases recently, but they were resolved,” Li Xianghui said.

“I called you because we’re about to start a crackdown on vice and gangs. I mentioned this before, if you recall.”

“I remember.”

“We’re waiting for the order, which could come down any time, maybe today or tomorrow. Be prepared,” Li Xianghui said.

“But I can give you some inside information.”

“Is it that secretive?”

“Not really, but this operation doesn’t just involve ourselves. We’re teaming up with the Songjiang precinct.”

“We’re teaming up?” Lin Yi was surprised.

“For vice and gang crackdowns, each precinct usually handles its own area. How come there’s collaboration this time?”

Inter-departmental collaboration wasn’t new to Lin Yi. He had encountered such situations before during crackdowns in the past.

But this time, it involved gang activity, which was a different level of complexity.

“The suspect this time is named Bai Yongshou, a repeat offender who’s ruthless and involved in illegal trades. He’s a dangerous character,” Li Xianghui said.

“His business and activities span both Xinshan District and Songjiang District, so the higher-ups a.s.signed the task to both precincts to handle together.”

“If we work together, how will the credit be divided?” Lin Yi asked.

“If Songjiang precinct captures Bai Yongshou, won’t it just embarra.s.s our chief?”

“You’ve got a sharp eye,” Li Xianghui laughed.

“So we need to work hard to make him proud. That’s why I called you. With you on board, I’d be more confident.”

“Brother Li, you’re overestimating me.”

“I know your abilities, so stop being modest,” Li Xianghui said. “Anyway, be ready. We might move out at any time.”

“Got it,” Lin Yi replied, then asked.

“But I’ve never heard of Bai Yongshou before. I do know a guy named Wei Yihua in Zhonghai who seems to have some influence.”

“That’s in the past. Recently, he’s been trying to clean up his act and has done some good deeds. If he doesn’t mess up or isn’t targeted by someone in authority, he might have a peaceful retirement,” Li Xianghui said.

“But Bai Yongshou is different. He’s ruthless and only cares about money, so many still see Wei Yihua as the underground boss of Zhonghai.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh.

Many people believed Wei Yihua was the underground boss of Zhonghai, so he enjoyed great influence.

But in reality, the authorities were well aware of everything.

It would only take a few minutes to deal with him, but the complex relationships involved made them reluctant to take action.

If that day ever came, Wei Yihua wouldn’t even know what hit him.

Now, his influence was just superficial, as insignificant as an ant.

Click.

Li Xianghui lit a cigarette and continued.

“I called you back for this matter. Let’s try to catch Bai Yongshou and earn some credit for our chief. As for Wei Yihua, if we can handle him too, it’ll be beneficial to us.”
