By now, Lin Yu had regained consciousness in the hospital.
Since he was one of the individuals involved in the incident, two police officers were sitting by his bedside.
As soon as they saw Lin Yu wake up, they immediately began questioning him.
However, the information they received completely astonished the two officers because it was entirely different from what Jiang Che had said!
But after consulting their superiors, his statements were directly dismissed due to a lack of concrete evidence.
"Mr. Lin, what you're saying is very vague, and there's no evidence to prove that you saved Miss Ye. When we arrived on the scene... you had already been strung up by the assailants."
Both officers looked at Lin Yu with undisguised contempt.
This wasn't their first encounter with Lin Yu; they had also been present when he was previously detained for fighting.
"Mr. Lin, we understand you were eager to save someone, even taking a bullet... but you really weren't the one who saved her..."
The officers' words nearly made Lin Yu faint from anger.
"If it wasn't me, then who was it?! Look at the state I'm in!"
"I was ambushed by a sixth party later! There was a sixth party involved!"
"Wait... who saved Ye Mengyao now? Tell me who saved Ye Mengyao!"
Lin Yu's brain finally started working.
He also understood that some sixth party must have ambushed him from behind, taking credit for his heroic deed of saving the beauty!
The police sighed helplessly, "We can't comment on that!"
Then both officers left, leaving Lin Yu alone in his hospital bed.
"Damn it! Which idiot ambushed me from behind?"
"Damn it, I took two hits and a bullet, almost didn't make it to see my great-grandmother... and someone else gets all the credit?"
He had just been dreaming that Ye Mengyao would be completely infatuated with him after learning he risked his life to save her, and he would win her heart... it was a wonderful dream.
But now?
Everything was gone, and he had suffered so much for nothing!
"Don't let me find out who you are!!!"
Just as he was fuming, his phone rang.
"Ye Changkong?"
Lin Yu seemed to grasp a lifeline and immediately answered the call.
However, he was met with a torrent of curses.
"I told you to protect Yaoyao, what the hell were you doing? And you call yourself a master?"
Lin Yu panicked, "Uncle Ye, please let me explain, I really did go to save Yaoyao."
"You're calling her Yaoyao too? And you went to save Yaoyao... you went to get yourself killed, didn't you!"
Normally, if someone dared to speak to Lin Yu in such a tone, he would definitely show his displeasure.
But now was different; he had to suck up to Ye Changkong. What if Ye Changkong didn't let him be Ye Mengyao's bodyguard anymore?
Wouldn't his entire plan to pursue girls be ruined?
"Uncle Ye, please listen to my explanation, I was actually the one who saved Ye Mengyao..."
"You're full of it! It was clearly Jiang Che who saved her, do you think I'm blind? Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to the school anymore. I don't want someone with such poor character protecting my daughter."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Lin Yu was completely stunned.
"Damn it! It's Jiang Che again!!!"
After he defeated the kidnappers, the sixth party who ambushed him was Jiang Che!
He even brazenly took credit for saving Ye Mengyao instead of him?
The thought of all his sacrifices only to give Jiang Che all the credit infuriated him beyond measure.
But he couldn't dwell on it anymore. He had just integrated into the school, and there were so many beautiful girls at Shilan School he hadn't even had the chance to look at.
Moreover, his secret manual and Jade Pendant were still with Jiang Che.
Walking away like this, crestfallen, was simply unacceptable!
"Damn you, Jiang Che! I swear I won't rest until you're dead!"
Lin Yu's fists cracked.
Then he began to ponder, "I need influence and connections. I need someone to help me get back into Shilan School."
As if remembering something, a faint smile touched Lin Yu's lips.
Healing and saving lives!
His two masters, one unsurpassed in medical skills and the other unmatched in assassination techniques, had passed on their legacies to him... his medical skills were naturally incredibly powerful. Superb medical skills were always the easiest way to connect with the powerful and influential.
Setting up a stall to save people, and make a name for myself!
Soon, a business plan began to form in his mind.
"Jiang Che! Just you wait, sooner or later I'm going to kill you!"
The next day.
The news of Jiang Che saving Ye Mengyao spread throughout Shilan School.
This incident was nothing short of a bombshell in everyone's minds.
It shocked the school, and Jiang Che almost became the perfect boyfriend fantasy for all the girls at Shilan School.
"Did you hear? Ye Mengyao was kidnapped yesterday, and Young Master Jiang saved her."
"Of course! I heard the group who kidnapped Ye Mengyao was a professional mercenary team from some foreign country, and some of them even had guns."
"I heard there were over a dozen armed thugs, and Young Master Jiang single-handedly stormed their den to save Ye Mengyao. Just thinking about it is incredibly cool, he's bursting with boyfriend energy! That Ye Mengyao is really ungrateful, to reject such an excellent guy."
"Ye Mengyao? I think she's just a Green Tea Bitch. Jiang Che fought more than a dozen people for her; if it were me, I'd be so moved that I'd strip my clothes off that very night."
"How is that possible? One person against a dozen?"
"Why not? I heard Jiang Che is also an Ancient Martial Arts master! He's a direct disciple of some reclusive master, with the legendary Hua Jin cultivation…"
The rumors became more and more exaggerated, almost describing Jiang Che as a superhero.
"Jiang Che, have you had breakfast yet? I brought this for you."
Ye Mengyao's cheeks were flushed as she held a steaming breakfast in her hands and approached Jiang Che.
The proud young lady had set aside her arrogance.
Just then, Lin Yu entered the classroom and happened to see the scene.
He was there to complete his withdrawal paperwork, essentially to pack his things and leave.
For an aristocratic school like Shilan School, having an ordinary student withdraw was just a word from the school board members.
Lin Yu's eyes widened at this moment.
"Jiang Che, thank you for saving me!"
Ye Mengyao's shy appearance truly stung Lin Yu's eyes.
The muscles in his face were trembling wildly.
He was the one who had saved Ye Mengyao!
Damn it, he still had a gunshot wound in his shoulder. If he hadn't been an An Jin expert… he would have died from a pistol shot by now.
I risked my life to save you, and you turn around to thank another man?
This was a fact he absolutely couldn't accept!
"I already had breakfast. You don't need to thank me. I already said… I would have saved any ordinary classmate too."
Jiang Che's attitude remained aloof. Did she think one breakfast would make him change his mind?
Though he was indeed craving her body right now, craving was one thing; he still had to be tough on her.
Ye Mengyao bit her lip hard. Jiang Che must still be angry with her!
It was all her fault. Why had her temper been so bad before? She'd made things irreparable. If only she had left herself a little leeway, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way?
Lin Yu's expression also couldn't hold up; he felt like he was about to crack.
The high and mighty young lady… had actually become Jiang Che's Lickspittle?
What did that make him?
Inexplicably, he just felt a big green hat had appeared on his head.
