At this moment, Lin Yu had regained consciousness in the hospital.
Since he was also involved in the case, two police officers were sitting by his bedside.
As soon as they saw Lin Yu wake up, they began questioning him immediately.
However, the results left both officers shocked, as his story was completely different from what Jiang Che had claimed!
But after consulting with their superiors, they dismissed Lin Yu's account due to lack of concrete evidence.
"Mr. Lin, your claims are rather vague, and there's no evidence to prove that you were the one who saved Miss Ye. When we police arrived at the scene... you were already strung up by the criminals."
Both officers now looked at Lin Yu with contempt in their eyes.
This wasn't their first encounter with Lin Yu; they had been present when he was previously detained for fighting.
"Mr. Lin, we understand you were eager to help, even taking a bullet... but you weren't the one who saved her..."
The police officer's words nearly made Lin Yu faint with anger.
"If I didn't save her, then who did? Look at what condition I'm in!"
"I was set up by Old Six! Old Six was there!"
"Wait... who saved Ye Mengyao now? Tell me who saved Ye Mengyao!"
Lin Yu's brain finally started working.
He realized that Old Six must have set him up from behind, stealing his chance to be the hero!
The police sighed helplessly, "We're not at liberty to disclose that information!"
Then both officers left, leaving Lin Yu alone in his hospital bed.
"Damn it! Which bastard attacked me from behind?"
"Fuck, I took two hits and a bullet, nearly didn't make it... and someone else gets the credit?"
He had just been dreaming about Ye Mengyao falling head over heels for him after learning how he risked his life to save her, imagining himself winning the beauty's heart... it was perfect.
But now?
Everything was gone, and he suffered for nothing!
"Just wait until I find out who you are!!!"
Just as he was fuming, his phone rang.
"Ye Changkong?"
Lin Yu grabbed at this lifeline like a drowning man and immediately answered the call.
What he faced instead was an immediate barrage of abuse.
"I told you to protect Yaoyao, what the hell were you doing? And you call yourself an expert?"
Lin Yu panicked, "Uncle Ye, please let me explain, I really did go to save Yaoyao."
"Yaoyao? You dare call her that? You went to save her... more like you went to get yourself killed!"
On any other day, if someone dared speak to Lin Yu in this tone, he would have shown his temper.
But this was different; he had to suck up to Ye Changkong. What if Ye Changkong wouldn't let him be Ye Mengyao's bodyguard anymore?
Wouldn't that ruin all his plans to pursue her?
"Uncle Ye, please listen to my explanation, I was actually the one who saved Ye Mengyao..."
"Stop your nonsense! It was clearly Jiang Che who saved her, do you think I'm blind? Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to school anymore. I don't want someone with such poor morals protecting my daughter."
With that, he hung up.
Lin Yu was completely stunned.
"Damn it! Jiang Che again!!!"
After he had defeated the kidnappers, Old Six who attacked him must have been Jiang Che!
And now he had the audacity to take credit for saving Ye Mengyao and become the hero?
The thought that he had sacrificed so much... only for Jiang Che to reap the benefits, filled him with rage.
But he couldn't dwell on it now. He had just started fitting in at school, and hadn't even had the chance to check out all the beautiful girls at Shilan School.
Plus, his secret manual and jade pendant were still in Jiang Che's possession.
Leaving like this was simply unacceptable!
"Damn you, Jiang Che! I won't rest until I kill you!"
Lin Yu's fists crackled with tension.
Then he began to think, "I need power and connections, I need someone to help me get back into Shilan School."
As if remembering something, Lin Yu's lips curled into a slight smile.
Healing the sick!
His two masters, one with unparalleled medical skills and the other with world-class assassination techniques, had passed their knowledge to him... his medical skills were naturally exceptional, and superior medical skills had always been the fastest way to connect with the powerful.
Setting up a stall to heal people and build a reputation!
Quickly, a business plan formed in his mind.
"Jiang Che! Just you wait, I'll kill you sooner or later!"
......
The next day.
The news of Jiang Che saving Ye Mengyao spread throughout Shilan School.
It was like a bombshell in everyone's minds.
The school was abuzz, and Jiang Che had become the perfect boyfriend fantasy for almost every girl at Shilan School.
"Did you hear? Ye Mengyao was kidnapped yesterday, and Young Master Jiang saved her."
"Of course I know! They say the kidnappers were from some foreign professional mercenary team, and they had guns!"
"I heard there were over a dozen armed thugs, and Young Master Jiang single-handedly stormed in to save Ye Mengyao. Just thinking about it is so cool, he's such boyfriend material! How could Ye Mengyao be so blind to reject such an excellent guy?"
"Ye Mengyao? She's just a green tea bitch, a white lotus. Jiang Che fought more than a dozen men for her. If it were me, I would have been so moved I'd have stripped naked that night."
"How is that possible? One person fighting more than ten?"
"Why not? I heard Jiang Che is a master of ancient martial arts! He's the personal disciple of some legendary master, with mythical cultivation powers..."
The rumors grew more and more exaggerated, nearly portraying Jiang Che as a superhuman.
......
"Jiang Che, have you had breakfast? I brought this for you."
Ye Mengyao approached Jiang Che with rosy cheeks, holding a steaming breakfast in her hands.
The proud young lady had set aside her arrogance.
Just then, Lin Yu entered the classroom and witnessed this scene.
He had come to handle his withdrawal procedures, essentially to pack up and get out.
In an elite school like Shilan School, getting a common student to withdraw was just a matter of a word from the board of directors.
Lin Yu's eyes widened at the sight.
"Jiang Che, thank you for saving me!"
Ye Mengyao's shy demeanor truly hurt Lin Yu's eyes.
The muscles in his face were twitching violently.
He was the one who had saved Ye Mengyao!!!
Damn it, he still had a bullet wound in his shoulder, and if he hadn't been a master of hidden strength... one shot from that gun would have killed him.
I risked my life to save you, and you're thanking another man?
This was a reality he simply couldn't accept!
"I've already had breakfast, and you don't need to thank me. I've told you before... I would have done the same for any classmate."
Jiang Che remained cold and aloof. Did you think a simple breakfast would make me change my mind?
Although I'm quite attracted to you now, that's beside the point - you still need to be taught a lesson.
Ye Mengyao bit her lip hard. Jiang Che must still be angry with her!
It was all her fault. Why had she been so bad-tempered before? She had made things irreparable. If only she had left even a tiny bit of room for reconciliation, would things have turned out differently?
Lin Yu couldn't maintain his composure anymore; he felt like he was about to explode.
The high and mighty young lady... had become Jiang Che's devoted admirer?
So what did that make him?
Somewhere in his mind, he felt as if a green hat had been placed on his head.
