There's Something Wrong with the Water!
"Aunty Chen, just call me Lil 'Yi, no need to call me Mister Lin." Lin Yi smiled. "Looks like you're recovering well, exceeding my expectations- now we can move on to the next treatment."
"Then I won't hold back, I'll call you Lil 'Yi!" Mrs. Chen smiled. "Thank you, if it weren't for your medicine, I wouldn't be able to recover this fast! Xi, go get some tea for the guests- what are you standing here for? "
"Okay, mom!" Chen Xi had gotten a lot closer with Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao this afternoon. She forgot to pour them tea when she got home, only remembering after her mother reminded her.
"No need, we don't drink tea." Lin Yi waved his hand. "I just came to check on your recovery, Aunty Chen. I'm relieved now, Xiaoxiao and I should go!"
"You're not in a hurry, right? Why don't we eat here tonight? "Mrs. Chen quickly asked Lin Yi to stay.
"Sure, let's eat together then," Lin Yi nodded- he didn't have much to do tonight anyway- he just wanted to keep Xiaoxiao company.
Thinking about it, if he didn't return and stayed outside to accompany Xiao Xiao, the young miss wouldn't say anything. It was fine as long as Xiao Xiao was happy.
Xiaoxiao was very happy, too- she saw an optimistic and unyielding spirit in Chen Xi, and that made her feel much better.
"That's great- I'll go cook with Xi in the kitchen. Lil 'Yi, you and Xiaoxiao can watch TV in the living room?" Mrs. Chen was very happy that Lin Yi agreed.
"No need, we'll go help too. It'll be faster," Lin Yi smiled. "Don't look down on me, I'm a master chef!"
"Haha, Lin Yi honey cooks really well!" Xiaoxiao added.
Mrs. Chen wanted to reject them, but after hearing what Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao said, she had no choice but to let Lin Yi go to the kitchen.
Chen Xi was washing the vegetables, Mrs. Chen was cutting the meat, and Xiaoxiao was helping her. Lin Yi, on the other hand, had nothing to do.
"This is the water for washing vegetables …" Lin Yi's gaze suddenly focused on the vegetable bowl in front of Chen Xi.
"What's wrong with water? Big brother Lin Yi? "Chen Xi was confused.
"Let me see." Lin Yi squeezed through, and Chen Xi was pushed to the side. Lin Yi's body bumped into Chen Xi, making her blush a little. But when she peeked at Lin Yi, it seemed like he didn't notice it at all. Chen Xi secretly let out a sigh of relief.
How could Lin Yi know what this child was thinking? It was one thing for Ziyu to have some thoughts, since she used to be a gangster. But a good girl like Chen Xi had thoughts too? Although Chen Xi was a good girl, she was still in puberty. She had some fantasies about the opposite sex.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, had helped her family so much that it was impossible for Chen Xi to not have feelings for him. It was just a hazy feeling, and Chen Xi hid it in her heart, not daring to show it. She was afraid that Xiaoxiao would find out and think that she was trying to seduce her boyfriend. If that happened, Chen Xi would be too ashamed to show her face.
"Where did this water come from?" Lin Yi dipped his finger in the water and put it in his mouth.
"Ah! It's tap water, is there a problem? "Chen Xi was pulled back from her thoughts by Lin Yi's question, and after a slight pause, she quickly replied.
"Tap water?" Lin Yi frowned. He turned on the tap water and put a few drops in it.
"Yi, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the tap water? " Mrs. Chen saw Lin Yi studying the tap water and quickly walked over, "Is the water quality bad? It's like this in the old city, it's already connected to the water purifier … "
"Water purifier?" Lin Yi lowered his body and found a water purifier under the cabinet. Lin Yi didn't say anything and closed the water valve, then removed the water purifier.
Lin Yi's action made Chen Xi and Mrs. Chen stunned. If it was someone else doing this, then Mrs. Chen would definitely stop it. How could you just remove someone else's water heater?
However, it was Lin Yi who did it, so there must be a reason, so Mrs. Chen didn't ask much.
"Where did you buy this water purifier?" After Lin Yi removed the water purifier, he carefully checked the water purifier and asked.
"This water purifier wasn't bought, it was picked up by Grandpa Zhu when he was picking up junk. After he helped to replace the filter, he helped us install it. What's wrong, Lin Yi gege, is there a problem?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"Nothing, don't use this water purifier, it's a bit dirty." Lin Yi frowned, Grandpa Zhu again? Why him again? Could it be that Grandpa Zhu caused Mrs. Chen's cancer?
In this water purifier, there was a substance that would cause cancer if taken for a long time, but Lin Yi didn't know why Chen Xi didn't get cancer. Was it because she was young and had a strong immune system? Or did she take the antidote before?
In short, Mrs. Chen's cancer wasn't an accident, it was caused by someone! After removing the water purifier, Lin Yi reconnected the tap water. This time, there was no problem!
Lin Yi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger!
Before, when Lin Yi saw Grandpa Zhu beside Chen Xi, he felt it was strange, but Grandpa Zhu didn't seem to have any bad intentions towards Chen Xi. Lin Yi was just curious why a peak late phase mystic class master would be beside Chen Xi.
But now, Lin Yi could be sure that this Grandpa Zhu didn't have any good intentions! He actually poisoned the water purifier, the purpose was to give Mrs. Chen cancer! But Lin Yi didn't understand. Why would a peak late phase mystic class master use such a strenuous method to harm Chen Xi and her mother? Couldn't he just kill them?
Could it be that he had some other purpose?
Of course, Lin Yi could only think about it in his heart, he wouldn't say it out loud. For Chen Xi and her mother, Lin Yi was only familiar with them, not close. Lin Yi couldn't just blame Grandpa Zhu.
Now, it seemed that Chen Xi and Grandpa Zhu's relationship was very good. If he said it out loud, Chen Xi might not believe him!
"The water purifier isn't clean? Then we can't use it anymore! Seems like the things we picked up aren't reliable! " Mrs. Chen didn't think too much, "After all, we aren't professionals. Since Lil 'Yi found the problem, then we don't need it anymore!"
