At this moment, Lin Yu had already awakened from his coma in the hospital.
Since he was also one of the people involved in the case, two police officers were seated beside his bed.
The moment they saw Lin Yu awake, they began questioning him directly.
But the result left the two officers utterly astonished, because it was completely different from what Jiang Che had said!
However, after reporting to their superiors, they dismissed Lin Yu's statement outright due to a lack of conclusive evidence.
"Mr. Lin, what you've said is far too vague. There is no evidence proving that you were the one who saved Miss Ye. When we arrived at the scene... you had already been strung up by the criminals."
The looks the two officers gave Lin Yu were filled with disdain.
This was not their first time seeing Lin Yu. They had also been present when he had previously been detained for fighting.
"Mr. Lin, we know you were desperate to save someone and even took a bullet for it... but you really weren't the one who saved her..."
The officer's words nearly made Lin Yu faint from rage.
"If I didn't save her, then who did? Look at what they did to me!"
"I was ambushed by some sixth bastard afterward! There was a sixth bastard!"
"Wait... who saved Ye Mengyao now? Tell me, who saved Ye Mengyao?"
Lin Yu's CPU finally spun up for once.
He understood too. Some sixth bastard had definitely stabbed him in the back and stolen his title as the hero who saved the beauty!
The police officer sighed helplessly. "We have no comment!"
The two officers then left, leaving Lin Yu alone on the hospital bed.
"Damn it! Which idiot ambushed me from behind?"
"Fuck, I took two blows and a bullet, nearly went to see my great-grandmother... and I ended up making a wedding dress for someone else?"
Just now, he had dreamed that Ye Mengyao learned he had risked his life to save her, fell completely in love with him, and that he carried the beauty home in his arms... it had felt absolutely incredible.
But what about now?
He had nothing, and had suffered all that for nothing!
"Don't let me find out who you are!!!"
Just as rage consumed him, his phone began to ring.
"Ye Changkong?"
As though he had grabbed hold of a lifeline, Lin Yu immediately answered the call.
What greeted him, however, was a torrent of abuse right to the face.
"I told you to protect Yaoyao. What the hell were you doing? You call yourself an expert?"
Lin Yu panicked. "Uncle Ye, listen to my explanation. I really did go save Yaoyao."
"Is Yaoyao something you can call her? You went to save Yaoyao... you went there to feed them kills, didn't you?"
If it had been any other day, Lin Yu would have turned hostile the moment someone spoke to him in that tone.
But things were different now. He had to suck up to Ye Changkong—what if Ye Changkong stopped letting him be Ye Mengyao's bodyguard?
Wouldn't his grand plan to pick up girls go completely down the drain?
"Uncle Ye, listen to me. Ye Mengyao was actually saved by me..."
"Go spin your bullshit somewhere else! 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 a person with rotten morals protecting my daughter."
With that, he hung up.
Lin Yu was completely dumbfounded.
"Damn it! Jiang Che again!!!"
After he had defeated the kidnappers, the sixth bastard who ambushed him had been Jiang Che!
Jiang Che had actually brazenly taken his place as the hero who saved Ye Mengyao?
When he thought of all he had sacrificed... only for Jiang Che to wear the wedding clothes, rage burned within him beyond measure.
But he had no time to dwell on it now. He had only just settled into the school, and there were so many beautiful girls in Shilan School that he had not even gotten the chance to see yet.
And the secret manual and jade pendant that belonged to him were still in Jiang Che's hands.
To leave with his tail between his legs like this—he simply could not accept it!
"Damn Jiang Che! If I don't kill you, I swear I'm not human!"
Lin Yu's fists cracked loudly.
Then he began to think. "I need power and influence. I need someone to help me return to Shilan School."
As though he had remembered something, the corners of Lin Yu's lips curled upward slightly.
Treat illnesses, save lives!
Of his two masters, one possessed medical skills unmatched beneath the heavens, while the other's assassination techniques were peerless in the world. He had inherited their legacies... so naturally, his medical skills were extraordinary. Superb medicine had always been the quickest route to befriending the powerful and wealthy.
Set up a stall, save people, and make a name for himself!
Very quickly, an entrepreneurial plan took shape in his mind.
"Jiang Che! Just you wait. Sooner or later, I'll kill you!"
The next day.
The story of Jiang Che saving Ye Mengyao spread throughout Shilan School.
To everyone, this matter was no different from a bombshell.
It shook the entire school. Jiang Che had practically become the perfect boyfriend in the fantasies of every girl at Shilan School.
"Did you hear? Ye Mengyao was kidnapped yesterday, and Young Master Jiang was the one who saved her."
"Of course I heard! They say the people who kidnapped Ye Mengyao were some foreign professional mercenary team, and some of them even had guns."
"I heard there were more than a dozen gun-wielding thugs. Young Master Jiang charged alone into the dragon's pool and tiger's den to save Ye Mengyao. Just thinking about it is so insanely handsome! His boyfriend power is through the roof! Ye Mengyao is way too ungrateful—she could even reject such an outstanding guy."
"Ye Mengyao, my ass. She's just some green-tea bitch pretending to be pure and innocent. Jiang Che fought more than a dozen people alone for her. If it were me, I'd have been so touched that my clothes would've fallen off that very night."
"How is that possible? One person fighting more than a dozen?"
"How could it not be possible? I heard Jiang Che is an ancient martial arts expert! A personal disciple of some reclusive master, with the cultivation of the legendary Hua Jin..."
The rumors became more and more outrageous, just short of describing Jiang Che as Superman.
"Jiang Che, have you eaten breakfast yet? I brought you breakfast."
Her cheeks flushed crimson, Ye Mengyao held a steaming hot breakfast in her hands as she came before Jiang Che.
The proud young miss had set aside the arrogance in her heart.
And at that exact moment, Lin Yu entered the classroom and happened to witness the scene.
He had come to handle his withdrawal procedures—in other words, to pack up his things and get the hell out.
At a noble school like Shilan School, making an ordinary student withdraw was no more than a word from the school board.
Lin Yu's eyes widened at that moment.
"Jiang Che, thank you for saving me!"
Ye Mengyao's bashful appearance truly stabbed into Lin Yu's eyes.
The muscles on his face twitched wildly.
He was clearly the one who had saved Ye Mengyao!!!
Damn it, he still had a gunshot wound in his shoulder. If he had not been a Dark Force expert... a shot from a handgun would have killed him long ago.
I risked my life to save you, and you turn around and thank another man?
It was a fact he simply could not accept!
"I've already eaten breakfast. You don't need to thank me either. I said it before... even if it had been an ordinary classmate, I would have gone to save her."
Jiang Che remained as cold and aloof as ever. You think one breakfast is enough to make this young master change his mind?
Though I really am craving your body right now, craving is craving—what needs to be done to torment you still has to be done.
Ye Mengyao bit down hard on her lips. Jiang Che must still be angry with her!
It was all her fault. Why had her temper been so terrible before? She had pushed things past the point of no return. If she had left even the tiniest bit of room, would things not have come to this?
Lin Yu could no longer hold his expression together either. He felt as though his entire being was about to split apart.
The lofty young miss... had actually become Jiang Che's simp?
Then what was he?
In the unseen currents of fate, he only felt as though an emerald-green hat had appeared on his head.
