After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Suju!"

When Zeng Guoxiang and He Mengting saw the newcomers, they immediately stood up, their expressions very respectful.

Su Lin nodded and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, you can all leave now. Lin Li and I need to talk alone."

Zeng Guoxiang and He Mengting exchanged a glance and tactfully withdrew.

Zhong Yuxian wanted to say something, but He Mengting grabbed her and forcibly dragged her out of the ward.

"Close the door, and don't let anyone come near."

Luo Renmei, carrying a medical kit, walked to the bedside, looked Lin Li up and down, and said sneer, "Oh, isn't this our 'miracle doctor' and 'martial arts master'?"

She opened the medical kit, took out a stethoscope, and continued in a sarcastic tone, "How did you get into this state?"

"Wasn't he quite capable of fighting before? Why does he need to be lying in the hospital wasting medical resources?"

She had always been prejudiced against Lin Li, both jealous of his medical skills and disgusted by his arrogance.

Seeing Lin Li get his comeuppance now, she couldn't be happier.

"Dr. Luo, if you can't speak properly, you can shut up."

Lin Li lay in bed, but her words were sharp: "This is just a superficial injury; it'll be fine in a couple of days. But you, with your liver fire so intense, are you going through early menopause lately?"

"you!"

Luo Renmei was so angry she almost strangled him with her stethoscope. "You're the one going through menopause! Your whole family is going through menopause!"

"Alright, Renmei, examine him first."

Su Lin interrupted their bickering, sat down in the chair, and her expression became very serious.

Although Luo Renmei was unhappy, she still obediently gave Lin Li a simple check-up. After confirming that there were no major problems, she stepped aside.

Su Lin looked at Lin Li with a complicated expression.

"Lin Li, do you know how big of a mess you've made this time?"

She held up her fingers, listing the statistics one by one: "Fifteen people were killed on the spot, and thirty were seriously injured or maimed. This is the biggest heinous violent incident in Jiangcheng... no, in the entire Yizhou Province in the past eighty years!"

"Although you did it to save lives, and those people deserved to die, in a society governed by the rule of law, a massacre of this scale is enough to land you a life sentence a hundred times over!"

Su Lin's voice grew increasingly stern, and the atmosphere in the entire ward seemed to drop.

Lin Li remained calm, even reaching for an apple.

"Aunt Su, don't scare me."

He took a bite of his apple. "I only kill, I don't bury. The rest is up to you, isn't it?"

"You're quite optimistic!"

Luo Renmei couldn't help but interject, "Do you know how many connections Aunt Lin used to clean up your mess?"

"If Aunt Lin hadn't been there to keep you in check, you would have been taken away by the SWAT team for interrogation by now!"

So...

Lin Li swallowed the apple, looked at Su Lin, and suddenly smiled: "Aunt Su, why do you think I called you the first thing I did as soon as I woke up?"

Su Lin was taken aback.

Lin Li did call her yesterday, but only said one sentence: "I'm rescuing people at the Luyuan Ecological Plantation. I've killed a lot of people. Be prepared."

At the time, Su Lin already knew about the major case and thought Lin Li wanted to ask for help.

"That's what you do: causing trouble and then trying to get your boss to clean up your mess!"

Luo Renmei retorted, "You want Aunt Lin to cover for you!"

"wrong."

Lin Li shook his finger, his expression becoming more serious: "Dr. Luo, your political awareness is too low."

He looked at Su Lin and said slowly, "The Green Source Ecological Plantation has existed for so long, and it's involved in human trafficking, money laundering, and pornographic live streaming."

"Such a huge cancer is in your jurisdiction, yet you haven't received a single word about it."

"If this gets exposed by the media, what do you think you'll do?"

"..."

Su Lin remained silent. If it were reported, it would constitute a serious oversight failure and a huge political scandal.

Her career, as well as that of other officials in Jiangcheng, will be affected.

"It's a pity we know each other."

Lin Li smiled. "You see, because I made this call, the whole thing has changed."

"After receiving reports from the public, the municipal party committee leaders attached great importance to the matter, made a decisive decision, and took swift and decisive action."

"Although we encountered fierce resistance from the criminals during the operation, under your brilliant command, we successfully dismantled the criminal den and rescued dozens of victims."

"This is a premeditated, organized, and determined special operation to crack down on organized crime."

Lin Li looked at Su Lin with a smug expression: "Aunt Su, this is not trouble at all, it's my achievement to give you."

Luo Renmei stared blankly at Lin Li. She had always thought that Lin Li was just a brute who knew a little about medicine, but she never expected that he would see through the ways of officialdom so clearly!

If that call wasn't made, then Lin Li was enforcing the law without authorization, and Su Lin was neglecting her supervisory duties.

After making that phone call, Lin Li became the informant cooperating with the operation, while Su Lin was the commander strategizing behind the scenes.

One phone call changed everything.

Su Lin looked at Lin Li and suddenly praised, "Good lad, you're right."

She had refused to be interviewed until she received the call, precisely to avoid giving anyone ammunition to use against her.

"Renmei, please go out for a moment."

Su Lin suddenly said, "I have a few private things I'd like to ask Lin Li alone."

"Huh? I'm going out too?"

Luo Renmei was somewhat reluctant, but seeing Su Lin's serious expression, she could only pick up her medical kit and leave.

The air in the ward seemed to freeze for a moment, and the sound of Luo Renmei angrily slamming the door shut as she left still echoed in the corridor.

Su Lin sat in the chair, looking at Lin Li, who lay on the hospital bed with a nonchalant expression, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Lin Li."

Her tone held a genuine gratitude: "Thank you so much for what you did this time."

Her gaze swept over the bandages on Lin Li's body, and her voice softened even more: "You've helped me so much, you could even say you saved my political life. I'll remember this favor."

"Tell me, what do you want? As long as it doesn't violate my principles and is within my capabilities, I can agree to anything you ask for."

Lin Li raised an eyebrow, took a bite of his apple, and mumbled, "Aunt Su, we're practically family, talking about personal relationships only hurts feelings."

"I'm just a concerned citizen cooperating with the government's crackdown on organized crime."

Su Lin was amused by his nonchalant attitude and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Stop talking nonsense to me."

"If you don't make any requests, I feel uneasy, as if you're up to something."

"Am I that bad?"

Lin Li looked surprised; he had always been a very honest person!

"You have!"

Lin Li chuckled, looking the woman up and down with a playful expression.

Su Lin wore a gray business suit today, with a white silk shirt underneath. The collar was slightly open, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone.

Staring at her with such an aggressive gaze, Su Lin felt a sudden pang of panic. She instinctively brought her legs together and frowned, asking, "What are you looking at?"
