Chapter 177: I Am a Hero!

Driven by urgency, his tone of reproach carried a heavier weight.

"Why are you crying? All you know how to do is cry!"

"Back then, everyone advised you not to bring this child into the world, but you insisted. Look at things now! The child has inherited both of our illnesses and is suffering so much!"

As he spoke, the man could no longer hold back his tears either.

Lin Yu found it strange.

Although the two of them were dressed in rags, their physical condition...

Right.

When the two of them came running over just now, they both seemed to walk with a slight limp.

Moreover, the woman's facial features were somewhat distorted, making her look a bit like someone with incomplete intellectual development.

The man's subsequent explanation confirmed Lin Yu's guess.

There was actually nothing wrong with the man himself, except that he had broken a leg while working odd jobs in the past, which now restricted him to doing only simple, low-paying work.

As for the woman, she was born with an intellectual disability and also suffered from congenital heart disease.

However...

Clearly, the child had only inherited the woman's heart disease; why did it sound like both of them had problems when the man put it that way?

After a brief moment of reflection, Lin Yu understood.

The husband didn't want to place all the blame on his wife during their most difficult time.

He could not help feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

Fate truly seems to test those who are already suffering...

...

The road to the hospital was bound to be congested.

Lin Yu dialed the traffic police hotline.

The moment the call connected, Lin Yu spoke directly.

"Officer! I need to run a red light!!"

The traffic police dispatcher on the other end: Ah?!

No.

If you're going to run it, just run it.

Why bother calling specially to inform us?

What's this?

Do you want us to present you with an award?

Lin Yu explained, "Here is the situation: I met a couple on the road whose child is having a heart attack and urgently needs to be taken to the People's Hospital for treatment!"

"Could the traffic police please arrange a green channel for us?"

"My license plate number is..."

Not long after he finished the call, he saw two police cars approaching from a distance.

After clearing the vehicles ahead, the traffic officers quickly arrived right in front of Lin Yu.

Rolling down the car window, the traffic officer gave a salute and then spoke swiftly.

"Follow us."

Lin Yu hurriedly started his car and quickly kept pace with the police.

With the traffic police clearing the path ahead, the journey became much smoother. Meanwhile, upon receiving the call, the People's Hospital immediately arranged for several doctors and a hospital bed to wait right at the entrance!

Normally, the road leading to the People's Hospital would start experiencing complete gridlock about three kilometers away.

Yet, with the help of the traffic officers, the half-hour drive was compressed down to ten minutes!

Throughout the entire journey, Lin Yu frantically pressed down on the accelerator, a certain song involuntarily echoing in his mind...

Deja vu!

Until they arrived at the hospital entrance, Lin Yu helped the couple deliver the child into the doctors' hands.

Watching the medical staff wheel the family of three into the hospital, he finally felt at ease to leave.

...

Ji Ya was busy with meeting preparations when she suddenly received a call from Lin Yu. She stood up and walked out of the conference room.

"What is it?"

Lin Yu recounted the entire sequence of events from beginning to end.

Hearing this, the corners of Ji Ya's mouth curved upward in a smile that was harder to suppress than an AK-47.

"Aren't you afraid someone might try to scam you?"

Lin Yu shook his head, "Not afraid."

"In such a critical situation, who has the mind to second-guess human nature? At that moment, all I wanted was to get the child to the hospital."

"He looks so tiny, and he hasn't even seen the beauty of this world yet. I couldn't bear to watch him just..."

Ji Ya nodded, showing her approval of Lin Yu's words.

As a lofty young heiress, she had never experienced the hardships of ordinary people.

Sure, she could witness them by watching television, but how could she possibly have that much time?

Ever since she met Lin Yu, it felt as though she had stepped into an entirely new life.

Many joys and sufferings that she had never witnessed or experienced before were now truly and personally felt after crossing paths with him.

Perhaps, this was the true meaning of being alive?

"There are all sorts of people in this world. If we view everyone through a lens of cruel suspicion and doubt, true affection ceases to exist in this world."

Lost in thought, Ji Ya slowly opened her mouth to ask, "What about you? Are you sincere toward me?"

Lin Yu was so immersed in his own preaching that he completely missed Ji Ya's question.

He let out a slow questioning "Huh?"

Ji Ya smiled, "Never mind."

"Just remember, I will always support you from behind."

"Go ahead and do what you want to do without worrying about bearing any unnecessary trouble."

"Don't do that!"

Lin Yu's response left Ji Ya somewhat baffled.

What?

With her supporting him from behind, he wasn't happy about it?!

"I mean," Lin Yu flashed a mischievous smile, "you don't need to be behind me, otherwise how am I supposed to face you from the front?"

Ji Ya: ??

...

In D City, at the hotel arranged by the show production team.

Just as they arrived at the hotel's underground parking garage, Si Shaozhe and Wang Fei were seen crossing paths.

"Doing it?"

"Doing it."

Standing not too far away, Lin Yu could barely catch their conversation.

After watching them exchange a secret password, the two turned and headed toward the garage elevator.

Before stepping inside, they deliberately pulled their caps down low.

Uhm...

They were just going out for a drink, did they really need to be so secretive?

Anyone who didn't know better would think the two of you were walking bounties worth half a million!

Just as that thought crossed his mind, Lin Yu received a text message from Wang Fei.

"Arrived?"

"Arrived."

A brand new secret code, a tacit understanding that only men could comprehend!!

...

Ten o'clock at night.

Wang Fei and Si Shaozhe exchanged glances as they waited by the garage elevator.

Two minutes later, the elevator doors opened.

Lin Yu was startled by the two of them.

"Why are you standing out here?"

"We were waiting for you, of course."

The three of them cautiously stepped out of the garage. The two of them stood near the garage exit, hiding and observing their surroundings in secret.

Lin Yu stood with his arms crossed, following calmly behind them.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

How truly pathetic.

Could it be that tonight I'm the only one whose manager and boss aren't around?

It was fortunate that Lin Yu didn't actually voice those words aloud, or he surely would have received a beating.

The hotel entrance was the most dangerous place.

Of course, that only applied to two guilty-conscious artists.

From beginning to end, Lin Yu followed behind them like someone watching two fools play detective.

The driver was still the same uncle from before. Upon seeing the three of them get into the car, the uncle wore an expression that clearly said, "I know what's going on."

"Going to the club again? Or a lounge bar?"

"I know a freshly opened hyped-up dance club nearby, it's super fun and really energetic."

"Every time I pick people up outside the club around one or two in the morning, there's always a bunch of people picking up drunks."

"Young men, don't you want to go and experience it?"

"No."

The three of them replied in unison.

Wang Fei directly gave him an address and told him to drive there quickly.

This left the uncle completely bewildered.

"Huh? The three of you are actually going to a place like that?"

Young people nowadays...

Their ideas are getting weirder and weirder.

They all like to be edgy and alternative, is that it?

...

Five minutes later, having confirmed it was safe, Wang Fei slowly explained, "The reason we're going to this place this time is very simple."

"You guys should all know!"
