11: Yuezhou People's Hospital

Of course, this could only be said to Chief Xie; the pre-trial interrogator wouldn't say it when Zheng Yongnian was around.

Zheng Yongnian stayed for a while and then left.

Ye Lin also greeted Chief Xie and followed Huang Xuliang to the hospital to visit Old He.

Old He, being old, had suffered a slight fracture from Wang Erbao's kick and was now in the orthopedic department of Yuezhou Peoples Hospital.

When Huang Xuliang brought Ye Lin in, Old He was lying on the bed, looking cheerful and showing no signs of pain.

Beside him sat a woman in her 50s, Wang Guihua, Old He's wife, who was constantly grumbling.

“You, at your age, what are you doing catching wanted criminals? Couldn’t you just handle mediations?”

“And your Chief Xie, I’m going to scold him next time. What kind of nonsense is this? Does he even want people to live?”

The old lady's incessant nagging showed her great displeasure at Old He's injury.

Ye Lin, listening from outside, felt a headache coming on.

“Oh, Old Sister-in-law is here too.”

Huang Xuliang, carrying a fruit basket, rushed in, and Ye Lin could only follow.

“Hmph.” Wang Guihua coldly turned her head away, giving them her back.

“Look at you, the leaders are here and you don’t even offer them water,” Old He chided.

However, this earned him a glare from Wang Guihua, which scared Old He into a shiver, and he quickly sat back down.

“You, at your age, just keep making trouble,” Wang Guihua said as she turned and walked out.

Before leaving, she looked at Ye Lin with a hint of suspicion, “Is this Xiao Ye?”

“Hello, Madam. My name is Ye Lin,” Ye Lin replied formally.

Wang Guihua uncharacteristically showed a slight smile, “Xiao Ye, sit. It’s a good thing you were there, or our Old He would have been gone. Sit, Madam will get you some water.”

“Haha, this old woman, she’s getting old and her temper is getting worse.”

“Come, sit anywhere.”

Old He, seeing his wife leave, quickly called out.

Ye Lin activated his Grandmaster-level Bone Setting Technique and examined Old He thoroughly. There was a slight fracture in his ribs, but nothing else. His old bones were very healthy.

“Master, I don’t see anything wrong with you,” Ye Lin said.

He Xinmin gave a silly chuckle, “I’m just enjoying the benefits. I haven’t been injured in so many years.”

“Damn it!” Ye Lin gave him the middle finger.

Huang Xuliang smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, “If you’re injured, you should rest.”

“Old He, this time, a third-class merit is probably unavoidable.”

Upon hearing this, He Xinmin grinned so wide his mouth almost reached his ears. He rubbed his hands and said:

“I never thought, at over 50, I’d still have a chance to earn a merit.”

“You should thank Xiao Ye. Wang Erbao confessed that if Xiao Ye hadn’t been there, he definitely would have silenced him.”

He Xinmin’s face hardened at this, a wave of fear washing over him. His smiling face instantly froze.

Just then, Wang Guihua came in.

“Here, drink some water, Xiao Ye.”

“Instructor, you should drink some too.”

Wang Guihua was clearly discerning in her affections, showing two different attitudes towards Ye Lin and Huang Xuliang.

“Oh, there’s a small child outside, less than a year old, with a dislocated arm. He’s crying terribly.”

“Are there no doctors?” Ye Lin casually asked.

“They said there was a car accident, and all the on-duty doctors went there. There aren’t enough staff, so they can only wait.”

“Oh, that poor child, so young, doesn’t understand anything, just knows pain. When he hurts, he cries, and his mother’s heart is breaking.”

“She was almost kneeling to the nurse, but there’s nothing they can do without a doctor.”

Wang Guihua slowly recounted, sighing several times.

Ye Lin’s heart stirred, and he said, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Old He acknowledged him and continued chatting with Instructor Huang.

Outside, in the hall, the child’s loud cries indeed continued.

Ye Lin walked over and saw a couple holding a one-year-old girl. The girl’s right wrist was swollen, and she was wailing loudly.

The child’s mother could only comfort her, wiping away her own tears as she did so.

The child’s father stood by, at a loss, scratching his head anxiously.

“When will the doctor be back?” the child’s father grabbed a nurse and asked.

The nurse was also helpless, apologizing, “I just contacted the doctor. There’s a traffic jam, so it’ll probably be another hour.”

“An hour? My child is in so much pain, look, just look!”

“I don’t care, call your leaders. If no one comes, I’ll smash your hospital!” The child’s father, seeing the child’s cries grow weaker and weaker, was on the verge of a breakdown.

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and his gestures towards the nurse grew more aggressive.

The young nurse couldn’t stand it. Shaken dizzy by him, she instinctively pushed him, trying to get him away.

The child’s father was already emotional. With that push, blood suddenly rushed to his head, and he swung his arm, aiming for the nurse’s face.

“Ah—”

From seeking medical help to a fight, the surrounding crowd screamed in fright.

The nurse’s arm was grabbed, making it impossible for her to dodge. She was about to be slapped.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a large foot, as if descended from the heavens, solidly kicked the child’s father’s hand.

It was Ye Lin, arriving just in time, Ghost Foot Seven’s Ghost Foot once again displaying its power.

“Stop!”

Ye Lin roared.

The child’s father paused, looked at his hand, and then realized what had happened.

He quickly released the nurse with his other hand, bowing repeatedly and apologizing, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was anxious, I was anxious. My mind was muddled just now, muddled.”

“Police Officer, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I shouldn’t have hit anyone.”

“I just heard my child crying, and it pained me so much,” the child’s father said, then squatted down and began to cry bitterly, covering his face.

The nurse, seeing such a grown man crying so sadly, also felt relieved and could only say apologetically, “I’m really sorry, all the doctors are out. We can only wait a little longer, don’t rush, don’t rush.”

Ye Lin had originally wanted to lecture the man further, but seeing this, he felt it wasn’t appropriate.

“Let me see the child,” Ye Lin walked over to the child’s mother.

The child’s mother looked sorrowful, thinking Ye Lin was just there to understand the situation. She was also afraid her husband would be arrested, so she quickly pointed to the child’s wrist,

“Police Officer, my husband was just anxious. Look, the child’s wrist is so swollen.”

Ye Lin looked over. On the child’s originally delicate arm, the wrist was swollen in a circle, and the fair skin had turned purplish-blue.

Bone Setting Technique. Ye Lin unhesitatingly activated the skill.

What he saw was that the child’s wrist was dislocated, and there was also a slight fracture. No wonder the child was crying so terribly.

“It seems the child’s wrist is really dislocated,” Ye Lin slowly squatted down, gently extending his hand.

The child’s mother thought Ye Lin was just doing his duty as a Police Officer, verifying the situation, and didn’t pay much attention, continuing to explain by his side.
