Chapter 228: Chapter 226: Teacher, Senior Brother Is Fine!

This look made Huang Xin tense up.

Maybe it’s because the long-term stress recently has been too much to bear, and he unintentionally let his true emotions show.

Fortunately—

"Teacher, we’re really lucky to have Senior Brother Huang this time! If it wasn’t for him, who knows what might have happened!"

Liu Pan suddenly spoke up, "That Nan Zhubin couldn’t even hold onto the visitor at the time, and almost let them fall! Luckily, Senior Brother lent a hand!"

He praised sincerely, "Thanks to Senior Brother!"

Lin Lulin shifted his gaze back from Huang Xin to Liu Pan.

His chest heaved, as if intending to say something.

"Hiss—" However, a sharp pain quickly accompanied the movement, making him gasp and forcing him to cease his thoughts.

He no longer paid attention to these relatively minor issues.

Now he had more urgent matters to deal with.

He forcefully lowered his head to look at his chest and asked Liu Pan, "Did the doctor say how serious it is? How long do I need to be hospitalized, roughly when can I return to normal work?"

Due to his family background, Liu Pan was quite clear about basic medical conditions.

He recalled, "In theory, you can be discharged after two days of observation. And from what I saw in the scan, the bone fracture isn’t severe; generally, in a month or two, it should heal for someone with an average constitution. For someone your age, Teacher, at most it’ll take about three months, you know, ’a hundred days to mend bones and tendons’..."

What’s meant by "someone your age"? This young man seems to have a bit of a low EQ... Never mind, I should be used to it by now.

"Can I work?" Lin Lulin sounded a bit anxious.

"In principle, you shouldn’t work, you should rest more... but if there’s really a necessity, it depends on your personal stamina, Teacher."

The so-called "in principle" problem is mostly an extremely conservative plan to avoid responsibility; in most cases, it’s unnecessary or even unrealistic.

That is to say, my injuries aren’t severe.

Liu Pan quietly added, "The main reason for staying hospitalized is to see if there’s anything you need, like an injury assessment..."

This young man seemed quite unwilling to forget about this.

Lin Lulin feebly waved his hand, suppressing the young disciple’s thoughts for the second time.

Then his eyes flickered, and he said to Huang Xin, who was now too intimidated to speak:

"Xiao Huang, this incident happened rather unexpectedly, and there are many tasks I haven’t delegated properly. You have to go back and handle them for me."

Huang Xin immediately stood up, as his presence here was due to his identity, but he was eager to leave sooner.

"My schedule is on my desk. Sort through my contacts according to the record there and explain my situation to those I was supposed to meet in the next few days. Apologize properly," Lin Lulin added. "Also, pay close attention to the supervision exchange meeting coming up and coordinate with the academy."

Huang Xin made a show of listening intently, nodding continuously.

Then he hurriedly left.

"Teacher, what about me?" Liu Pan said anxiously.

Lin Lulin opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.

It seemed like he was struggling, feeling a tug-of-war within himself knowing he was about to do something foolish, so he stopped himself.

But finally, he lowered his voice and said softly, "Go outside and check if there’s anyone nearby."

Besides Liu Pan, no one else was in Lin Lulin’s ward.

Hearing this, Liu Pan immediately put on a stern face, seriously pacing to the door, glancing around conspicuously, and then seriously returned to sit down.

"Teacher, please feel free to speak."

Lin Lulin pressed his lips and said, "As I just mentioned to your senior brother, this incident happened suddenly, and many tasks weren’t delegated, many things only I can handle—those loose ends weren’t cleaned up."

He looked at Liu Pan, "And ’these things,’ I don’t trust others to do, only you can handle them."

Judging from Lin Lulin’s tone, it was clear how important the following tasks were.

If there were a choice, he would prefer someone more capable. Unfortunately, when it came to the most core level, the comfort provided by "identity" overpowered the trust brought by "capability."

"Some things can’t even be away from me for long, so—"

Lin Lulin shook his clothes, now replaced with hospital attire.

"First, find my clothes. In the inner pocket of my jacket, there’s a USB drive, and its contents are very important; it absolutely can’t be lost," Lin Lulin said. "I also have two phones, bring them to me!"

Even though he tried to lower his voice and control his emotions, Lin Lulin’s tone still revealed obvious tension and unease.

Liu Pan also couldn’t suppress his tension, but his emotional undertone was entirely different from Lin Lulin’s.

"Understood, the USB drive, and the two phones!" he repeated.

Clearly excited.

"And," Lin Lulin added, "even though the visitor was saved, the current situation is still considered an accident, and the school will definitely conduct a review. Just in case... I need you to bring the ledger from my office back home!"

Lin Lulin’s voice lowered even further, "It’s in the cabinet of my office desk."

"Open the third drawer from the top first. It has a combination lock, and the code is ’010.’ Open it, and inside there’s a box, also locked, which needs a key."

"The key is in the second drawer from the top, also in a combination lock, with the code ’198.’

Liu Pan nodded repeatedly.

He forcibly suppressed his voice, "The hidden ledger, the ledger is in the locked cabinet, and the key is also in the locked cabinet. The codes are ’010’ and ’198’ respectively."

"Lower your voice!" Lin Lulin hurriedly scolded.

Liu Pan immediately covered his mouth, nodding.

"Go quickly!" Lin Lulin scolded, "Get the USB drive first!"

Liu Pan immediately dashed out the door, his heart filled with tension, yet also with undeniable excitement.

As he hurried along.

"Huh?" A light suddenly dawned in his eyes, "Senior Brother?"

A few steps away, Huang Xin was chatting with a petite nurse.

"Oh, Junior Brother," Huang Xin turned his head, "This is our teacher’s rounding nurse; she was just about to check on the teacher. I asked, and the teacher’s condition isn’t serious."

Liu Pan nearly broke into a cold sweat on the spot.

[If this nurse had walked in while the teacher and I were talking, wouldn’t that be...]

[Luckily, Senior Brother was here, keeping outsiders occupied.]

He gratefully chuckled with Huang Xin and looked at his senior brother with increasing gratitude.

And after he walked away, Huang Xin also strode toward the hospital gate, ready to complete his tasks as assigned by his role.

He silently recited in his heart:

[Carry the USB drive with you; the ledger is in the locked cabinet, codes 010 and 198...]
