Today's special care ward is enough to make any man green with envy.

Fang Wanqing, wearing a light blue dress, sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of freshly cooked chicken soup. She carefully blew on a spoonful to cool it down before bringing it to Lin Li's lips.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah—"

Lin Li opened his mouth and drank it with some embarrassment. He felt uncomfortable being treated like a child, especially with several pairs of eyes watching him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really enviable."

Lei Xiangqing was dressed in a black, tight-fitting leather outfit, her eyes scanning Lin Li's body.

"Your physical condition is simply abnormal."

She exclaimed, "An ordinary person with such a serious injury wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least six months. But you, your wound has started to scab over in just two days."

"Did those bullets hit the steel plate?"

As she spoke, Lei Xiangqing couldn't help but walk over and poke the muscles on Lin Li's chest that weren't covered by gauze, deliberately laughing, "Looks like I won't have to worry about crushing you when I'm on top of you in the future."

"Ahem!"

Lin Li, who was drinking soup, almost choked to death, and Fang Wanqing blushed, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.

Lin Yuehua, who was washing towels in the bathroom, came out.

Hearing Lei Xiangqing's words, she could only shake her head helplessly and gently wipe Lin Li's face and hands with a hot towel.

Her movements were very gentle, and as she wiped, tears started falling again.

"Auntie, why are you crying again?"

Lin Li was somewhat at a loss.

"A small gift..."

Looking at her nephew's body covered in wounds, Lin Yuehua said with heartache, "Let's not be some great hero anymore, okay? Your aunt doesn't need you to be successful or make a lot of money, I just want you to be safe and sound."

"If something really happens to you, what's the point of leaving your aunt alone in this world..."

She has barely slept these past few days; every time she closes her eyes, she sees Lin Li covered in blood being carried into the hospital.

Lin Li felt a pang of sadness, reached out and grasped his aunt's hand, promising, "Auntie, I promise you, I will never act impulsively again."

"You said it yourself, you can't lie to me."

Lin Yuehua felt relieved upon hearing this and gently tapped his forehead.

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

Lei Xiangqing couldn't bear to see anyone cry in front of her, so she changed the subject: "Let's discuss the shift schedule. Everyone's busy during the day, so who will stay with the patient at night?"

Lin Li is not fully recovered enough to not need anyone to take care of him yet, so someone needs to stay here at night.

"I'll do it!"

The door was pushed open, and Bai Nian'an, wearing a white coat, strode in.

"I'm a doctor and also his apprentice, so it's most suitable for me to be on duty at night."

She held the ward round record book in her hand, still maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor, but her gaze towards Lin Li was filled with concern.

"Moreover, I have professional nursing knowledge, so I can handle it if the wound gets infected or the fever occurs."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Lei Xiangqing didn't stand on ceremony and readily agreed.

Just then, a noisy commotion suddenly came from outside the ward.

"Let us in! We have the right to interview!"

"Lin Li is inside, right? This is big news!"

"Don't block my way! Believe me or not, I'll expose your hospital's violent obstruction of press freedom!"

boom!

The ward door was violently pushed open, and a large group of reporters wearing various media credentials rushed in.

The flashes went off wildly, and the shutter sounds were deafening, hurting Lin Li and the others' eyes.

"Mr. Lin! I'm a reporter from the Yizhou Times! How did you manage to kill so many criminals all by yourself? Are you a retired special forces soldier?"

"Mr. Lin! I'm from Daily News! We've heard you're having inappropriate relationships with several women. Are these ladies all your lovers?"

"Lin Li! Someone has leaked information that you have a triad background, and this is a case of the underworld double-crossing you. Please explain!"

These reporters completely disregarded the fact that this was a special care ward and that the patients needed rest.

One by one, they shoved microphones into Lin Li's face, asking increasingly pointed questions, some even filled with malice and manipulation!

"go out!"

Lin Li's face darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Who let you in?"

As a doctor, Bai Nian'an immediately stepped in front and reprimanded, "This is a hospital! Patients need rest!"

"We are journalists! The public has the right to know!"

A bespectacled male reporter with an oily face squeezed to the front. He was Xiao Wang, a reporter from the Durian Business Daily, known in the industry for his "sharp tongue" and "no bottom line".

"Mr. Lin, are you in such a hurry to get rid of us because you feel guilty?"

Holding a voice recorder, Xiao Wang looked at Lin Li with a defiant expression: "I heard that quite a few people died in this case. Although the police said it was self-defense, your methods were so cruel. Do you have violent tendencies?"

"And also, this Chairman Su."

He glanced at Su Qian beside him and said with a sly smile, "I heard you were involved in a hostess scandal before, and now you're having an ambiguous relationship with Lin Li. Is there some kind of power-for-sex deal between you two?"

"Nonsense!"

Su Qian's face darkened, and she snapped, "Which media outlet are you from? Watch your mouth!"

She recognized the brand on Xiao Wang's chest and immediately looked disgusted: "The Durian Business Daily, is it? I remember you!"

"How many girls did you guys trick into becoming escorts at that shameless beauty pageant you organized last year?!"

Su Qian was harassed by this media outlet before; they were absolutely disgusting!

"Oh, Chairman Su is getting anxious? Looks like I hit the nail on the head?"

Having his secret exposed, Xiao Wang showed no shame; instead, he sneered, "That was a legitimate business activity!"

"But you, Chairman Su, flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If you're upright, you have nothing to fear from the reports."

He waved the camera in his hand and said deliberately, "Let me tell you, I'm definitely going to publish this news today!"

"I've already thought of a title—'The Gangster Killer and His Rich Harem,' it's guaranteed to be a hit!"

"Do you believe I can ruin your reputation with just one pen? If you know what's good for you, cooperate and spill some bombshells, otherwise..."

Snapped!

Lin Li suddenly sat up, wanting to get out of bed and beat someone up, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing him to groan in pain.

"Xiao Li! Don't move!"

Lin Yuehua quickly pressed him down, advising, "Don't stoop to their level, be careful not to reopen your wound!"

"Hahaha! Looks like I hit a nerve?"

Seeing that Lin Li couldn't get out of bed, Xiao Wang became even more arrogant: "Come on, let's get a close-up of this enraged 'hero'!"

Just then, a cold voice came from the doorway.

"Who dares to cause trouble here?"

Everyone turned around.

He Mengting, the head of the news department of Yizhou TV, stood coldly at the door of the ward with Zhong Yuxian, who was using crutches.

"You guys really have no bottom line."

Although Chung Yuk-han was using a cane, her aura was by no means weak.

As someone who witnessed the incident firsthand and is also a top reporter for Yizhou TV, she felt ashamed of the behavior of her colleagues!
