Chapter 4053: Chapter 4041: This Person Has Serious Issues

"What happened? You look so serious."

In Lin Yi’s impression, Yan Ci rarely showed this expression.

Something must have happened, something important perhaps.

"You asked me to dampen the situation with Director Li. One day, I saw a comment saying Liu Jintao is a scum who endangers lives, scams people for money, and they hope the law will punish him. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but later it felt off. I wanted to find that account again, but couldn’t."

"Endangering lives is not a term used lightly." Lin Yi said seriously, realizing the matter might not be simple.

"That’s why it feels wrong the more I think about it," Yan Ci said:

"Suppressing the buzz on this issue is challenging because many self-media outlets are covering it. I suggest investigating this Liu Jintao. If he really has problems, more attention will be drawn to him, and Director Li will be off the hook."

"Alright, got it." Lin Yi said, "Keep an eye on this, do your best."

"Don’t worry, I’ll do whatever you ask, mwah..."

Hanging up the video call, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

The term "endangering lives" might be exaggerated, but where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

If Liu Jintao is truly innocent, no one would say such things.

This indirectly proves there might indeed be issues with this person.

"Director, there’s a problem."

Just when Lin Yi was pondering over these issues, Yue Sijing hurriedly came in from outside.

"What problem?"

"There’s an issue with that guy, Liu Jintao," Yue Sijing said:

"Yesterday, we contacted the parents of a deaf-mute child. Their kid got jailed for robbery, but during interrogation, he explained everything yet was still arrested."

"Hmm?"

Lin Yi paused, "If that’s the case, it should be a judiciary issue, right?"

"No, the judiciary system isn’t the problem. The case files state that the kid confessed to the crime."

"Hmm? Confessed? Wasn’t it said he didn’t confess?" Lin Yi was confused, unsure of what was going on.

Yue Sijing looked seriously at Lin Yi and said:

"I suspect there was a translation error involved. No one understands sign language, so whatever Liu Jintao says might be taken as truth. This may involve a hidden darker side."

"I underestimated this person."

Lin Yi squinted and said:

"Get ready, we’ll set off tomorrow."

"Okay."

After Yue Sijing left, Lin Yi returned to his office.

All the information Xiao Bing had investigated became clear in that moment.

The hospital side could bring him significant profits, but even so, he didn’t give up on the sign language translation work, likely because this job could also bring considerable gains.

The so-called gains were likely from falsifying translations.

Lin Yi could only imagine the overall interest chain here; real details would be clear only after investigation.

After talking with Yue Sijing, Lin Yi held a brief meeting with the team, then drove over to Li Chuhan’s house; she was off work today.

"Come in quickly."

Seeing Lin Yi, Li Chuhan had an unmistakable joy on her face, having already set out slippers in anticipation.

"How did the institute decide?"

"Actually, nothing much changed. The original plan was kept: out of humanitarian reasons, they offered 100,000 yuan in compensation."

"Did they say anything about you?"

"Not much. Everything’s the same as before. People still trust me as they come for consultations, no impact at all."

"That’s good then."

"You don’t need to worry about me," Li Chuhan said:

"I’ll keep working as long as I can. If not, I’ll just resign. I can always start a small clinic; to me, work is the same anywhere."

"Your attitude surpasses mine by ten years."

"Not really, I wish I could be as carefree as you."

Li Chuhan went to the kitchen, "What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you."

"You should rest; I’ll handle it."

Lin Yi took the lead, pulling vegetables from the fridge, but Li Chuhan still followed him.

This was her little routine.

When alone, she quietly did her own things, but with Lin Yi around, she just wanted to be near him.

Lin Yi, being a great cook, made four dishes and a soup within an hour.

Li Chuhan even brought out a bottle of red wine. They ate and drank leisurely and contentedly.

"Has my mom recently messaged you?"

"Yes, we chat almost every day. The only issue is the time difference; we often miss each other," Li Chuhan laughed and said:

"Auntie’s traveling in Northern Ouzhou and even invited me to take leave and join her, but I couldn’t leave my patients behind."

"Since you can’t bear to leave them, shouldn’t you be calling her ’Mom’ now?"

"Oh dear..." Li Chuhan pouted, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Even if you say ’oh dear,’ you still have to. Should I get my mom to send a gift for you to call her that?"

"No need, no need, I wouldn’t dare ask Auntie for money."

"Then call her without the money."

With that, Lin Yi took out his phone and pressed the record button.

Li Chuhan puffed her cheeks and bit her lip.

"Mom."

"See, that’s just right."

Lin Yi sent the recorded voice message to Qin Yingyue.

But there was no immediate reply; perhaps she was sleeping in the dark of Hei Ye overseas.

"You’re just bullying me."

"How is this bullying? When I went to the cemetery, I called her ’Mom’ too, so now it’s even," Lin Yi chuckled and said:

"Let’s make it official from now on."

"Got it."

After dinner, Lin Yi took Li Chuhan shopping and bought her many things.

When they returned home in the evening, they relaxed together again.

Whether or not a pregnancy happens is left to fate.

...

Early the next morning, Lin Yi drove to the TV station.

With Yue Sijing and others, they set off for Hongnan County.

The journey was over 600 kilometers, and with Lin Yi’s driving skills, they arrived in just over five hours.

By the time they reached Hongnan County, it was already past two in the afternoon.

The county’s economy was relatively developed; the hotels and restaurants were fairly decent in scale.

After arriving in the county, they first checked into their accommodations, then went for a meal. With no filming tasks for the rest of the day.

The four split into two groups.

"Director, do we have any other plans now?" Hou Zhitao asked.

"No, that’s it."

"We’re off to explore the town a bit."

Seeing the two change into casual clothes, Lin Yi jokingly said:

"Just don’t end up in another hotel."
