Chapter 4055: The Case’s Hidden Trick

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"The doctor’s skills are decent, but the medicine prescribed to you is quite ordinary and may not effectively solve the core issue," Lin Yi said.

"Does this mean there’s a problem with this hospital? Are the doctors not competent?"

"That’s not how to interpret it," Lin Yi explained:

"This is a county hospital. Some medications aren’t sold here. They want to prescribe the best for you, but they don’t have it."

"I see." Yue Sijing suddenly understood:

"If we look at it this way, this hospital doesn’t seem to have much of a problem," Yue Sijing said:

"I think I might need to go to the police station to ask about Liu Jintao."

"Well, let’s not go today; it’s a bit late. Let’s wait until tomorrow."

"So what should we do now?"

"Since we’re on a business trip, we might as well go out and explore, try some local delicacies, and treat it as a tour."

"Hehe, that sounds good. Can’t waste the trip."

After asking some locals, Lin Yi drove Yue Sijing to the night market.

The county’s night market was bustling, with even a stage set up where people could sing for five yuan per song, but you couldn’t really expect good sound quality.

"Principal Lin, want to sing a song?" Yue Sijing teased.

"I’ll pass, there’re too many people."

"Oh, Principal Lin gets shy sometimes."

"Mostly because the sound quality doesn’t match my level."

Lin Yi chuckled, and the two walked into the night market.

Traveling over 600 kilometers, the customs and culture here were very different from Zhong Hai.

Lin Yi saw many local delicacies for the first time.

"Principal Lin, look over there."

Following the direction Yue Sijing pointed, Lin Yi saw a girl selling chicken feet. She was gesturing at the customers without stopping.

But in the end, the customer didn’t buy anything.

Meanwhile, the adjacent stall selling marinated skewers was thriving, with a long line that partly blocked the girl’s stall.

"She seems to be deaf and mute," Yue Sijing said:

"But that stall next to her is a bit much, blocking her business."

Lin Yi watched silently; by now, her stall was almost completely blocked.

The determination in her eyes was evident, her hands constantly making gestures, trying to get those in front to step aside.

But the people in line couldn’t understand her, merely giving her a cold glance before returning to playing with their phones, ignoring her.

"These people are too much. Even if they can’t understand sign language, they should know they’re blocking her business," Yue Sijing said indignantly.

"They definitely know, but since no one’s personally confronts them, they don’t care. Anyway, she’s deaf and mute, she can’t do anything to them."

Yue Sijing didn’t respond, her mind focused on two words.

Apathy.

"Let’s go over and give her some support."

"Okay."

Leisurely, the two walked toward the girl.

Meanwhile, the lineup at the marinated skewer stall kept growing.

"Don’t rush, everyone line up properly, the food will be ready soon," shouted the skewer stall owner, a chubby man in a black vest, a cigarette in his mouth.

He managed to shout orders without dropping the cigarette, which Lin Yi found impressive.

Perhaps because her business was too impacted, the deaf girl went over, patted the middle-aged man’s arm, and pointed to the queuing people.

The meaning was clear: her stall was blocked, affecting her business.

"Can’t you see I’m busy? It’s just a bit of space, why fuss about it? How can you be so petty?" he retorted.

Shaken by his outburst, the girl recoiled in fear, tears welling up in her eyes, but she restrained herself from crying.

The man continued muttering, "No wonder you’re deaf and mute. Must’ve been wrongdoings in a past life."

Yue Sijing’s face turned cold; she wished she could slap that man.

"Make way, make way; don’t delay our purchases," Lin Yi said, pushing the crowd away that was blocking the stall.

The man’s expression turned displeased as he looked at Lin Yi.

"What’s there to look at? Got a problem?"

Soft fears hard; hard fears the reckless.

The middle-aged man might bully the deaf girl but shrank before someone like Lin Yi.

"Come on, let’s stand aside, don’t bother with them," he said to his customers.

At the stall, the girl excitedly pointed at the sign with the prices and flavors.

Lin Yi used sign language, indicating he wanted everything.

Yue Sijing watched with fascination.

"You know sign language?"

"In life, it’s good to know a bit of everything," Lin Yi replied with a smile.

He continued to signal the deaf girl, asking her to package everything up.

Yue Sijing watched Lin Yi, momentarily at a loss for words.

If Lin Yi’s network connections didn’t impress her much, his sign language skills genuinely amazed her.

Alongside his flawless Korean when they visited Corea, it showcased Lin Yi’s immense personal charm.

Quietly watching, Yue Sijing couldn’t understand their exchange, but the girl’s joyful expression was clear.

The girl packed the chicken feet into boxes, filling each box to the brim, totaling more than a dozen.

Lin Yi scanned five hundred yuan with his phone, and Yue Sijing thought the chicken feet weren’t worth that much. Lin Yi must’ve given extra.

She’d seen Lin Yi fight but at this moment, saw his tender side.

Involuntarily, her heart raced, admiration growing uncontrollably.

After the purchase, Lin Yi didn’t leave but continued communicating with the girl.

"Now that everything’s sold, are you closing and going home?"

The girl nodded joyfully, bowing repeatedly to Lin Yi, expressing her gratitude.

"Let me help you."

Lin Yi handed the chicken feet to Yue Sijing and helped the girl pack up.

He moved her tools to a nearby tricycle.

"Stay away, don’t touch our stuff. If you affect my business, I’ll make a complaint," the middle-aged man hissed.

Lin Yi glanced at him, a cold expression on his face.

"How can you say that? The line was at her stall, and you didn’t say a word. Now you’re making a fuss because you think she’s an easy target."
