Chapter 233 – Heart Grows Closer
A police car's horn sounded from afar, and Lin Yi could see blue and red lights flashing. Lingshan must've brought people over.
"Stay in the car and don't go out. I'll be back in a bit." Lin Yi said.
"Okay." Tang Yin nodded obediently, not arguing with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi got off the car and opened the back door, pulling Heibao out.
Lingshan was driving a Jinbei police car, not the Cheetah she'd been driving. This car was evidently the type used for escorting suspects.
Lingshan spotted Lin Yi right away, stopping the car in front of him.
She'd heard Lin Yi say that he'd captured Heibao and beaten him to a pulp, but seeing Lin Yi holding Heibao like that still made her mouth drop into an 'O' shape.
"You came alone, right?" Lin Yi only relaxed after seeing that there was no one else in the car. Lingshan was one of the few people who knew about him, after all, and Lin Yi didn't plan on letting more people know about him.
"You caught him just like that?" Lingshan nodded as she got off the car, looking at Heibao in Lin Yi's hands in surprise.
"Then how am I supposed to catch him?" Lin Yi tossed Heibao on the ground. "Alright, I've given him to you. I'm leaving."
With that, Lin Yi turned around and walked back to the van.
"Wait, you still have to come back with me for a statement …" Lingshan called out to Lin Yi.
"Make one up yourself." Lin Yi didn't even turn around. "I'll give all the credit to you- just say you caught him yourself- it has nothing to do with me!"
"You … …" Lingshan was pissed, but this credit … …
Lingshan knew that catching Heibao was a huge achievement, no less than catching the bank robbers. With these two achievements, her reputation in the police department would reach a peak, and it would be a good start for her to get promoted in the future.
"If you want me to help you next time, then cut the bullshit." Lin Yi got back in the van and drove away, ignoring Lingshan.
Lingshan stomped her feet angrily, picking up Heibao from the ground and throwing him in her car before driving away in the opposite direction from Lin Yi …
"Right, how did you get brought here? Where's Kang Xiaobo?" Lin Yi asked after taking care of Heibao.
"Kang Xiaobo … I don't know … I left the school with Kang Xiaobo, and Kang Xiaobo said he wanted to take a taxi to the hospital, so he got on a taxi waiting for passengers at the school gate." Tangyun said. "After that, I didn't know anything, and when I woke up … I just …"
Tang Yun lowered her head shyly as she spoke.
Lin Yi frowned and took out his phone, calling Kang Xiaobo.
The phone rang for a while before Kang Xiaobo's sleepy voice came through. "Hm? Hello? Who is it? "
"Xiaobo, it's me. Where are you?" Lin Yi listened to Kang Xiaobo, who seemed to have just woken up, and relaxed. It seemed like Heibao's main targets were Tangyun and him, and Kang Xiaobo should be fine. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the phone with Lin Yi.
"I … Where am I? Hm? How did I fall asleep on the street? "Kang Xiaobo paused and shouted." Oh no, boss, Tangyun, Tangyun's gone! Boss, I lost Tangyun … "
"Alright, Tangyun's fine. She's with me. Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up? "Lin Yi asked.
"I'm … I don't know where this is, it's a small street, wait for me …" Kang Xiaobo said sleepily. "I took a taxi to the hospital with Tangyun after school, and then I fell asleep. I just woke up now."
"…" Lin Yi was speechless. "Alright, take a taxi home first. We'll talk tomorrow."
"Alright, I'm still a little dizzy. I'm relieved that Tangyun's fine. See you tomorrow," Kang Xiaobo was still in a daze.
Lin Yi hung up the phone with a bitter smile. He looked at Tangyun. "You guys might have been drugged, and Kang Xiaobo was thrown on the side of the road."
"Yes …" Tangyun didn't know who it was that wanted to do this to her … She was scared just thinking about it. If it wasn't for Lin Yi's timely appearance, she would've been …
"It's Zou Ruoming." Lin Yi said. "I'll let him have it easy today. I'll deal with him later."
Lingshan knew a bit about what happened today from Heibao, so Lin Yi couldn't just kill Zou Ruoming right away. But that didn't mean he couldn't do it in the future. After this incident, making him disappear from the face of the earth was a simple matter for Lin Yi.
"Zou Ruoming … …" Tang Yin repeated the name a little absent-mindedly before lowering her head and starting to cry … …
"You … Tangyun, what's wrong?" Lin Yi jumped. He didn't expect Tangyun to cry like that without any warning.
"It's nothing … It's nothing to do with you … I just want to cry …" Tangyun's voice was choking. "Why did they bully me? Why? Just because my family's poor, so I'm easy to bully? "
Lin Yi sighed softly. Tangyun's heart must've been suppressing this for a long time, and it only exploded today. This was a young girl complaining about the unfairness of her life!
Wasn't Tangyun's family the same? Mother and daughter were bullied even when they had a barbeque stall … What about other things?
It was the same in school. Why would Zou Ruoming go after Tangyun instead of Mengyao and Yushu? He knew that nothing would happen if he bullied Tangyun, but if he bullied Mengyao and Yushu, things would get out of hand!
"It won't happen again …" Lin Yi patted Tangyun's shoulder. He wanted to hug her, but hesitated.
Just as he was hesitating, Tangyun leaned into Lin Yi's embrace and started sobbing …
Ha … Lin Yi didn't reject this time. He hugged Tangyun's shoulder and let her cry in his arms … Perhaps Tangyun didn't think that much, she just wanted someone to cry on …
Indeed, Tangyun didn't think too much at the moment. Leaning into Lin Yi's embrace was just to make herself feel more at ease.
"I'll send you home?" Lin Yi asked after Tangyun calmed down.
Tang Yin was startled as she broke free from Lin Yi's arms abruptly, turning her head away in embarrassment as she let out a soft "En".
Lin Yi smiled, started the car, and drove towards the slums.
