Chapter 1816: Why Won't You Let Me Help?

Xie Wanyi shook his head and explained, "Li Shu has a cunning personality; if he is allowed to escape, there will certainly come a day when he makes a comeback."

"So?"

"I want him to lose his freedom of movement and spend the rest of his life honestly in a nursing home."

This move... is ruthless enough.

Although Li Shu is quite old, he is very ambitious.

If one were to break an eagle's wings and keep it in captivity, that could truly make him wish he were dead.

Ling Yu sighed silently, and then, he had an idea.

He was heard saying excitedly, "Once I recover, I'll go back and be an inside man for you!"

Hearing this idea, Xie Wanyi gave him a strange look.

Then he commented, "When you were injured, did you hit your head too?"

"Tsk, what kind of way is that to talk!"

"If your brain isn't broken, how could you say such nonsense?"

Ling Yu realized that Xie Wanyi was mocking him.

But he didn't get angry; instead, he said confidently, "I know you think that if I go back, I'll be walking right into a trap. But I can pretend that I had a falling out with you over a small matter, and that I didn't even know Li Shu had made a move against me!"

"Then, given Li Shu's personality, he will definitely feign comfort toward me and then use me to deal with you. In this way, wouldn't I be able to take the opportunity to steal useful information?"

The more Ling Yu spoke, the more excited he became.

He felt that this plan of his was truly excellent.

But Xie Wanyi did not think so.

He had to remind Ling Yu, "You are too naive; Li Shu is such a cautious person, how could he possibly keep you around!"

"As long as I am useful to him, he can keep me!"

"But I won't let you go back and take risks just because of a tiny sliver of hope."

Seeing this guy always obstructing him and pouring cold water on his plans, Ling Yu became unhappy.

He even retorted, "By what right can you carry out your plan, but I can't?"

"By the right of..."

Before Xie Wanyi could finish his sentence, he reached out and pressed down on Ling Yu's wound.

Only after hearing Ling Yu's scream did Xie Wanyi say, "You should just focus on recovering from your injuries first, you weakling!"

Ling Yu was both angry and in pain at this moment.

After catching his breath for a few seconds, he threatened the other man with bitter resentment: "You, you just wait until I'm healed!"

Such a threat had absolutely no effect.

Xie Wanyi didn't take it to heart either.

With a light hum, he told the other party a fact: "By the time your injuries are healed, the mission will already be completed."

This fact left Ling Yu feeling depressed.

He even accused Xie Wanyi: "You're just not giving me a chance to show what I can do!"

"Once Li Shu's matter is handled, you can show off however you like."

"Then I don't even want to anymore!"

After saying this, Ling Yu turned his head away in a huff, not wanting to pay any attention to Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi had originally wanted to say something more to Ling Yu.

But looking at Ling Yu's state...

Forget it.

Xie Wanyi shook his head and turned to leave.

When he reached the door of the hospital room, Ling Yu commanded in a muffled voice, "If you won't let me leave, then change me to a pretty young nurse!"

"The pretty ones aren't reliable; the current older sisters are attentive and experienced, which is more suitable for you."

"Suitable for me? What kind of joke are you making, how is that suitable for me!"

"The older sisters can help you cultivate your character, so of course it's suitable for you."

"You... Xie, Wanyi, you just wait for me!"

"Alright, I'll wait for you."

After Xie Wanyi finished speaking, he walked out of the hospital room.

The last sentence he said sounded like he was coaxing a troublesome child.

This made Ling Yu feel like he had lost all face!

But so what if he lost face?

Who told Ling Yu that his movements were restricted.

Now, he only hoped that he could get better as soon as possible.

And then...

Help his good brother share his burdens as much as possible.

Beneath Ling Yu's cynical expression, a trace of worry was hidden.

After finishing his work for the morning, Li Xingyan was famished.

It just so happened that he and his assistant were passing by a restaurant that looked quite good, so they went in to have lunch.

However, because they hadn't made a reservation in advance, there were no private rooms available at this time, and the only available seating was in a corner.

The assistant looked at that spot and said to Li Xingyan, "Why don't we go somewhere else instead."

"No matter, it's just a casual meal anyway."

Since Li Xingyan had said so, the assistant could only follow him and sit down together.

Fortunately, the food at this restaurant tasted good.

The speed of the service was also very fast.

But halfway through the meal, he suddenly heard a familiar name:

"Deng Yunhai, you're late."

Because of this name, Li Xingyan stopped his chopsticks.

This voice came from the private room next door.

And this private room was right next to Li Xingyan's.

A small window in the private room had been opened, allowing the voices inside to be heard clearly.

Seeing Li Xingyan frown and look quite displeased, the assistant asked, "Should I tell the people next door to keep it down?"

"No need, just leave it."

Li Xingyan continued to eat, but it was obvious he had become distracted.

And the people in the private room did not yet know that their conversation had been secretly overheard.

At this moment, there were three people in the private room, one of whom was a white-haired old man.

The old man looked at the two juniors who had just entered with a smile, his eyes full of affection.

Deng Yunhai took the initiative to sit opposite the old man and replied with a smile, "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way."

"No matter, it's just a simple meal anyway. You must be hungry too, go ahead and order."

Deng Yunhai was polite for a moment before calling the waiter to order four dishes and one soup.

While eating, they did not forget to chat a little.

And while chatting, the old man brought up Deng Yunhai's relationship status: "I heard you've been dating recently?"

Deng Yunhai smiled faintly and said, "I met a pretty good girl, and we are currently getting to know each other."

"It's not easy for someone to be chosen and dated by you."

The young man who came with Deng Yunhai spoke up and reported, "He was only able to go on a date with a girl this time thanks to a cheat code!"

"Oh, what kind of cheat code?"

Deng Yunhai bumped the young man under the table as a warning.

Then, he explained with a smile, "It's just an app that can tell the user how to say sweet things, how to respond, and so on."

"Can it be useful?"

"I am a successful example."

After hearing this, the old man revealed an inscrutable expression.

Then he asked, "You wouldn't have gotten to know that girl just to verify how good this app is, would you?"

Deng Yunhai smiled and said quite readily, "I was supposed to go on a blind date anyway, so I just took this opportunity to experiment."

"Oh my, you can't let that girl know, she will be angry."

"She is very kind, she won't be."

"So, you are emboldened by your confidence?"

"Hmm... you could say that."

The people in the room laughed out loud.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

But Li Xingyan in the next room had a face so gloomy it could freeze!

Seeing him like this, the assistant felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

After a period of unbearable silence, Li Xingyan said in a cold voice, "Investigate that app they mentioned and find out exactly what it is!"

"Yes, I'll check it right away!"

"Wait a moment!"
