"Get up, you don’t have to do this."Lin Yi stepped forward and helped Wu Xiaomei up.
"Our job is to help people in need. Now you need my help, so this is what I’m supposed to do."
Wu Xiaomei wiped her tears, thanking him over and over.
Her husband came over, his face full of apology.
"Comrade Journalist, I was too impulsive just now. Please be generous and don’t hold it against me."
"It’s nothing. I understand how you feel." Lin Yi comforted him:
"I won’t say anything else. Add me as a friend, send me the information on your apartment, and I’ll have my buddy list it for you."
"Okay, okay, okay, thank you so much."
"You’re welcome."
After a few words of comfort, Lin Yi went back to the break room.
Suddenly he felt a bit melancholy.
Every family has its own hard story; this is all he can do.
In the end, Lin Yi found the hospital’s social security staff and tried to get them as much reimbursement as possible.
Then he contacted Shuidichou, and called Wang Ying, asking her to buy Wu Xiaomei’s apartment under the name of an agency.
But that was the last resort. If the reimbursed money plus public fundraising could cover the surgery costs, then they wouldn’t have to sell the apartment.
When he had arranged all this, Li Chuhan happened to come back.
"I just heard from the nurse you helped the patient in 807 contact a charity?"
Lin Yi nodded. "We met once before. Running into her here counts as fate. If I can help, I should lend a hand."
Li Chuhan smiled, her gaze at Lin Yi full of gentleness, saying everything without words.
Since Li Chuhan had to be on duty, the two went out to eat a little after five in the evening, then came back to the hospital to stroll around.
After seven that night, a patient came looking for Li Chuhan, and they went back to the inpatient ward.
Lin Yi drove home. This phase of the system task would take a few more days to complete.
The next morning at work, Lin Yi got a call from Yan Ci.
"Zhou Shen and Mao Yi have agreed to help you. I’ll have their agents get in touch later. You handle the follow-up business talks."
"Thanks for the support, President Yan."
"Hmph, don’t just thank me with words. Show some real action."
"No problem."
After teasing Yan Ci a bit, Lin Yi hung up.
He got to the office, had just clocked in, when he received calls from both agents one after another; they would come to the TV station around three in the afternoon to discuss the specific process.
After a brief discussion, Lin Yi glanced toward Zhao Jing’s office, planning to report to her, but saw she wasn’t in.
"Lin Bro, we’ve almost used up our footage. We need to go shoot something new." Zhao Yuhuan said:
"You mentioned a case of someone walking their dog without a leash. I think that’s good material. We can go take a look."
"Sure, I’ll contact the person involved now."
Lin Yi picked up his phone and dialed the party’s number.
The communication went smoothly, and they quickly settled on a meeting spot: at the entrance to the residential compound.
After finishing the prep work, Lin Yi took Zhao Yuhuan and drove to Shui’an District.
The compound was quite large, with more than thirty buildings and a lot of residents.
When the two arrived, Lin Yi made a call to get in touch, and soon found the person who was coordinating with him.
And it wasn’t just one; seven or eight people were there.
"Comrade Journalist, you’re here."
The speaker was a middleaged man, not very tall, with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but a kind expression.
"You’re Chen Daxian, right?"
"Yes, yes, that’s me."
They shook hands. "I’m Lin Yi, and this is my colleague, Zhao Yuhuan."
"Hello."
After greeting each other, the recording officially began. At the gate of the compound, Lin Yi shot an opening segment, then started filming the main piece.
"Could you tell us the specifics first?"
"There are too many people keeping dogs in this compound, and lots of them don’t use a leash when they walk them. Our cars are parked here, and every day dogs pee all around the cars. I’ve got it all on camera, but those dog owners never admit it. We’re furious."
"Now the flowerbeds are full of dog poop, and they don’t clean it up."
"And that’s not all. A few days ago my daughter was playing in the compound, and a big dog without a leash suddenly charged at her. She was so scared she didn’t dare go outside for days."
"Didn’t you confront the dog’s owner?" Zhao Yuhuan asked.
"We did. They just said the dog was playing with the child and kept insisting their dog doesn’t bite. We’re completely helpless."
"There must be quite a few dog owners in your compound, right?"
"Quite a lot. No matter what time it is, you can see people walking dogs in the compound, and many of them don’t use leashes."
"Let’s go inside and take a look, get a feel for the situation."
"Okay, okay, let’s go in and see."
Led by Chen Daxian, the group entered the compound.
They had barely walked a few steps before they saw people walking dogs.
Some with leashes, some without.
"Lin Bro, look."
Following the direction of Zhao Yuhuan’s finger, Lin Yi looked over.
He saw a woman even thinner than Zhao Yuhuan, holding three Alaska dogs, all fullgrown, over a meter long.
It wasn’t her walking the dogs at all; it was the dogs dragging her along.
If anything caught the dogs’ attention, they could easily break free from her grasp. This kind of situation was extremely dangerous.
Lin Yi looked around in other directions and found things were just like what Chen Daxian had described: dog droppings all over the grass. Living in a compound like this was indeed frustrating.
"Given how things are here, there must have been cases of people getting bitten, right?"
"There have been, but the owners paid compensation," Chen Daxian said:
"But the problem is, you can’t just settle this with money. Just thinking about it feels unlucky. A lot of people couldn’t stand it and sold their apartments to move away."
"Makes you want to put out some poison and kill all these dogs. It’s disgusting."
"Brother, calm down. That kind of thing is illegal." Lin Yi tried to talk him down.
"Ah!"
Just then, a scream rang out. Everyone’s attention was drawn toward the sound.
They saw a middleaged woman sitting on the ground, clutching a dog and wailing.
"Mao Mao, what’s wrong? Why aen’t you moving?"
"What’s happened to my dog!"
Right at that moment, another scream came.
"Dou Dou, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me, open your eyes and look at me."
Noticing something was wrong, Lin Yi and the others walked over.
They saw both dogs foaming at the mouth, motionless, clearly not going to last much longer.
"What’s going on?" Zhao Yuhuan muttered.
"isoniazid poisoning."
