Chapter 303 – Capital City Yang Family

Chapter 303 – Capital City Yang Family

Lin Jichen never expected Qin Xiaowei to run into such big trouble in the Capital City.

Judging by her tone, she really had stirred up a hornet's nest and offended someone significant.

As an ordinary person, Lin Jichen knew he wouldn't be able to help, even if he wanted to.

But he thought of someone in the Capital City who might be of use.

"Sister Xiaowei, what's that person's name? What's their background?"

Qin Xiaowei hadn't expected Lin Jichen to want to help her, so she answered truthfully, "It's someone named Yang Yu. His family has quite a background; I heard his grandfather was once a regional general."

"Yang Yu? Another Yang..." Lin Jichen muttered, wondering if this person was related to someone he knew.

Thinking of this, Lin Jichen said, "Sister, don't worry. I know someone in the Capital City. I'll ask her if she can handle it."

Qin Xiaowei smiled bitterly, "Little Chen, don't trouble yourself. I'll be fine. I just need to lay low for a while."

Qin Xiaowei thought Lin Jichen was just a college student. She had heard from Ren Lan that Lin Jichen had lost his parents early and came from an ordinary family.

What kind of friends could he possibly know? How could he help her?

But Lin Jichen was confident, "Don't worry, Sister. I should be able to handle it. If my friend in the Capital City can't help, I know someone else who definitely can."

Before Qin Xiaowei could persuade him otherwise, Lin Jichen had already hung up.

He found a place to hide and log off, then came out of the gaming pod and started rummaging through his room.

Finally, he found a gilded business card in the pocket of a jacket.

[Yangfan Shipping Group Chairman · Yang Yirou]

The person Lin Jichen was looking for was her.

If it weren't for Qin Xiaowei's trouble, he might have forgotten about her.

She was a relative of the elderly man he had saved at the hospital when he went to the Capital City to find Gu Qiuxue a couple of months ago.

At that time, she had expressed her gratitude, not only transferring a large sum of money to him as a reward but also giving him this business card, saying he could ask her for help if needed.

Lin Jichen planned to see if she could handle it. If not, he had another backup.

That was Jiang Luoyu!

He couldn't believe there was anything in China that Jiang Luoyu couldn't handle (hands on hips)!

Of course, if Yang Yirou could solve it, that would be best. After all, she owed him a favor, and now it was time to repay it.

He dialed the number. It was a bit late, and the phone rang for a while before it was answered.

Lin Jichen didn't want to disturb her so late, but Qin Xiaowei's situation in the Capital City was dangerous, so he had no choice.

"Hello, who is this?" A mature woman's voice, thick with sleepiness, came from the other end.

"Is this Ms. Yang Yirou? I'm the person who saved your father at the hospital a couple of months ago. Do you remember?"

There was a moment of silence, then the voice became clearer, "Are you that..."

Lin Jichen was about to say his name.

"Little brother! The little miracle doctor!"

Lin Jichen: "...."

Again with the 'little'? What's so little about me? Ugh, I don't even have a brother, so which 'little' are they talking about?

Despite feeling a bit annoyed, Lin Jichen knew it was important to ask for help, so he admitted, "Yes, it's me, the little miracle doctor. How is your father?"

The other person replied regretfully, "He passed away last month, but he went peacefully. Thanks to you, he had enough time to settle his affairs, and I was able to be with him until the end."

Lin Jichen offered his condolences, "I'm sorry for your loss."

"It's alright. By the way, little miracle doctor, why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?"

Lin Jichen explained the situation, "I need a favor. I have a sister..."

After explaining everything, the other person immediately asked, "Who is this person? How outrageous! I'll take care of it for you! In the Capital City, my word still carries weight."

Lin Jichen was delighted and quickly said, "His name is Yang Yu. They say he's a second-generation official with a powerful family background. I heard his grandfather was once a regional general."

There was another silence on the other end, this time for several seconds.

"Are you sure it's Yang Yu?"

"Yes, unless there's someone else with the same name," Lin Jichen confirmed.

"That brat! He's got some nerve! This time, I'll make sure his father skins him alive!" Yang Yirou said through gritted teeth.

"Sister Yang, you know this person...?" Lin Jichen hadn't expected her to know Yang Yu.

Yang Yirou apologized, "Yang Yu is my second brother's only son. He's been spoiled since childhood, arrogant and reckless. I'm sorry, little miracle doctor. I didn't expect him to bully your sister. Don't worry, I'll take care of this by tomorrow."

"Thank you so much, Sister Yang."

"I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known this brat almost caused a huge disaster. My father's body isn't even cold yet, and our family is already surrounded by enemies. If someone had used this against us, our whole family would have been in trouble. Thank you for telling me. Rest assured, I'll give you a satisfactory answer by tomorrow morning."

"That's good to hear. I won't disturb you any longer. Good night, Sister Yang."

Lin Jichen hung up and called Qin Xiaowei, telling her that things would turn around by tomorrow.

But Qin Xiaowei was still skeptical. Lin Jichen didn't explain further; they would see the results tomorrow.

***

The next morning, Lin Jichen and Gu Qiuxue had just returned home from their morning run when he received a call from Yang Yirou.

"Little miracle doctor, add me on WeChat. I'll send you a video."

Lin Jichen added her on WeChat, puzzled. Soon, Yang Yirou sent a short video.

Lin Jichen opened it and was immediately greeted by a painful scream.

In the video, a young man in his early twenties was kneeling in the living room of a mansion, with a middle-aged man holding a belt standing in front of him.

The middle-aged man was cursing the young man on the ground.

"How did I raise such a beast! If your aunt hadn't found out in time, your grandfather's hard-earned legacy and our family's reputation would have been ruined by you, you beast."

"I told you not to be a good-for-nothing, not to bully others. Now you've learned all these bad habits, huh? Today, I'm going to beat you to death, you little bastard!"

With that, the man swung the belt down on the young man.

The sound was loud and clear, and the young man screamed in pain, crying and wailing.

"Dad, I won't do it again. I didn't do anything to that little star. I just made a bet with my friends, saying I'd get her to have a drink with me. She refused, and I felt embarrassed, so I just scared her a bit. Ow, ow, Dad, I'm sorry..."

"You want face, huh? Today, I'll beat you until you lose all your face! Let's see if you still want face!"

With that, the sound of the belt hitting flesh continued.

Lin Jichen felt a chill down his spine, listening to the screams that sounded like a pig being slaughtered...
