Lin Yingbin's Secret!

In the hospital, Ryuseki paced anxiously in the corridor, the tense atmosphere causing Meisha to sit and fidget with her leg. Both were waiting for the results, and Meisha couldn't help but bite her nails.

"It's okay, they'll be fine. I've already notified Kouhi-niichan!" Meisha tried to comfort the worried Ryuseki, but her own worried expression was far from convincing.

"I... I don't want to see any more friends die." Ryuseki stopped, crouched by the chair, and hugged his head with both hands, muttering to himself. "No, you can't be hurt. We promised no one would die before the other! We promised!" As he spoke, Kikka You's smiling face flashed in his mind... and Kikka You before and after the car accident...

He grew more panicked, his body starting to tremble uncontrollably. At this moment, Meisha leaned down and gently rubbed his back with concern.

"Ryuseki, don't be like this. They'll be fine!"

"I'd rather die myself than see them die!" Ryuseki lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the patterns on the floor. "Why? Why are they always coming after us? Zhi, what exactly do you want? How many more people do you plan to kill before you're satisfied?"

Meisha felt an indescribable ache seeing Ryuseki so despondent. Yes, Meisha didn't seem to understand Ryuseki's inner turmoil, and Ryuseki wouldn't deliberately discuss these things with her. But when his friends were in trouble, she felt it too. She felt bad for Ryuu Mufei and Lin Yingbin, and seeing Ryuseki torment himself made her feel even worse.

Meanwhile, in the operating room, the surgery had reached its final critical stage. Doctors were operating on both patients in the same room. The medical team was somewhat surprised, as both their injuries looked grim. The doctors worked urgently to perform the surgeries.

"Surgical scissors!"

"Yes, Doctor!"

"Vascular clamp! Wipe his sweat!"

The lead surgeon didn't dare to slack off, constantly issuing orders to the nurses around him. The sweat on his brow was wiped away by a nurse only to reappear, only to be wiped away again.

"Forceps!"

"Understood!"

On the instrument stand nearby, it was clear that many blood clots and non-organic foreign objects removed from their bodies were piled in metal trays. The doctor's technique was exceptionally skilled, his movements precise and practiced. The nurse beside him continuously handed surgical instruments to the doctor, not daring to get distracted.

"Now, let's begin suturing!"

After an unknown amount of time, the operating room door opened. The doctors came out one by one. Ryuseki stood up and walked with Meisha to the doctor to ask, "Doctor, how are they? Are they okay?"

"Well... we did our best!" the doctor stammered. "This is all we could do." He then turned to a few doctors behind him and said, "We'll have an emergency meeting in the conference room shortly."

"What did you say?" Ryuseki's heart was struck by lightning at these words. He rushed forward and grabbed the doctor's collar, demanding, "What did you just say?"

"Don't do this, Ryuseki!" Meisha grabbed Ryuseki's arm, telling him to let go.

"I won't let go until he explains clearly."

"What I mean is, Patient One (Lin Yingbin) is basically out of danger. However, Patient Two (Ryuu Mufei)'s condition is uncertain." The doctor pushed Ryuseki's hand away and continued, "The situation is rather complex, and you might not believe it. After the nurse removed a red string from his ankle, his wound began to heal itself. However, the instruments indicate that his body is extremely unstable, and he has fallen into a deep coma. We are helpless, which is why we will have an emergency meeting shortly."

As he spoke, a nurse behind him, holding a tray, handed the red string and a small wooden tag on it to the two of them.

"What is this wooden tag?" Ryuseki picked up the tag but found nothing special about it. "It's all my fault... both of them."

"Don't blame yourself too much," Meisha comforted Ryuseki. "Let's go see them first!"

But just as Ryuseki was about to open the door to go in, Kouhi called out to him.

"I've already handled the hospital admission procedures!" Kouhi patted Ryuseki's shoulder.

"Thank you, niichan!" Ryuseki nodded at Kouhi.

"What are you thanking me for? We're family. Also, I've hired people to deal with the damage you caused. Don't worry, they'll be fine!"

Ryuseki nodded gratefully, then turned and walked into the ward.

In the ward, Lin Yingbin and Ryuu Mufei lay on two hospital beds. They rested quietly, and Ryuseki gazed at the sleeping two, smiling foolishly.

"Ryuseki! Can you tell me what happened?" Kouhi asked, leaning on the balcony outside the ward. "Now that things have come to this! You should tell us something, shouldn't you!"

"Yes! Now that things have come to this, some things should indeed be told to you." Ryuseki sat by Lin Yingbin's bed, and Meisha also came closer and sat beside him.

"Niichan! You should still remember that severely injured and near-death person we found by the river half a year ago, right?" Ryuseki said, looking at the ceiling.

"I remember! Didn't we bring him home and treat him for a while? After that, didn't he leave without saying goodbye?" Kouhi asked.

"That's right, it was him!" A gust of wind blew in from outside the window. "That day, when a group of strange people attacked us at school, they said that person was wanted by their organization!" Ryuseki paused.

"A criminal!?" Meisha was very surprised.

"Listen to me first!" Ryuseki interrupted Meisha's thoughts and continued, "And the leader of the organization that's after him is---Zhi!" Ryuseki took a quiet breath.

When Kouhi heard the name 'Zhi', he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He gasped and confirmed again, "Are you talking about 'Zhi'?"

"That's right! The BOSS of that organization is 'Zhi', and the person we saved killed Zhi's brother!" Ryuseki continued. "Because that person disappeared afterward, they came after us, believing we knew his whereabouts!"

"How could this be! I thought you were joking when you mentioned 'Zhi' before. I didn't expect it to be true this time. Zhi, that guy is terrifying." Kouhi took a sip of water to calm his nerves. "That guy has the power to destroy the world."

Hearing this, Meisha's expression changed in fright. Ryuseki, however, didn't hear this at all.

"I suspect Lin Yingbin was controlled by Zhi!" Ryuseki became agitated. "And I also believe that Kikka You's death is likely related to them!"

"What are you talking about!" Lin Yingbin woke up.

"Lin Yingbin, do you still recognize me?" Ryuseki immediately rushed to Lin Yingbin's side.

"How could I not recognize you." Lin Yingbin smiled and sat up.

"You're all better!" Ryuseki said excitedly.

At this moment, Meisha quietly left, and Kouhi followed her out.

"Do you know?..." Ryuseki kept talking about what had happened before.

"What's wrong with you! Do you know? You actually attacked me and Ryuu Mufei, and you severely injured Ryuu Mufei." Ryuseki thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that you were controlled by Zhi..."

"Um, actually, it wasn't entirely because of Zhi that I became like that, but rather..." Lin Yingbin paused. "Actually, I have a dual personality! What they call dissociative identity disorder!"
