Chapter 38 Cat Rights
"Tiger Baoer!"
Lin You exclaimed in surprise. After she quit the game, she immediately called Shi Jingyuan.
*
Under the mottled shadows of the trees is a black iron bench.
The night wind was cool, and the clear moonlight poured through the branches onto the bluestone brick path.
Lin You searched for a long time according to the navigation address before he found a man and a cat in this abandoned park.
The street lights have fallen into disrepair and most of them have gone out. Only one is still standing and emits a faint light.
When Lin You saw Shi Jingyuan sitting on the bench, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Dressed in a grey tracksuit, he lacked his usual maturity and steadiness, and instead looked more approachable like a brother next door.
He held the kitten and gently stroked its head.
Under the dim light, the gentleness in his eyes has a temptation that makes people indulge in it.
"Meow~"
A subtle cat meow, so soft and sweet, can melt your heart.
Lin You walked over quickly, sat down next to Shi Jingyuan, and reached out to hug the cat.
"Be careful, its hind legs are injured."
Shi Jingyuan warned.
Lin You hummed, picked up the kitten and examined it carefully.
It did have an injury on its hind leg, as if it had been bitten by another animal, and the wound was still bleeding.
The kitten seemed to know Lin You and rubbed against her palm in a flattering manner.
"It's my Tiger Bao'er!"
She was so surprised that her voice almost broke, her eyes sparkled, and the dimples on her cheeks were cute and beautiful.
Her joy infected Shi Jingyuan, and there was a hint of relief in his tone.
"Luckily I found it in time. If I had found it a little later, it would have been killed by a stray dog."
Hearing this, Lin You felt a surge of fear and looked up at him, "Where are you..."
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly noticed that he had scratches on his face, his clothes were stained, and there were two holes in his trousers.
He looked disheveled and felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. He cleared his throat and looked away awkwardly.
"Mr. Shi..." Lin You pursed his lips.
Is he a kitten rescued from a stray dog?
When she thought of the scene of President Shi fighting stray dogs, she felt both moved and amused.
Shi Jingyuan frowned slightly, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Don't hold it back."
Lin You raised the corner of her mouth, then she seemed to have thought of something and asked softly: "Then...are you okay?"
Shi Jingyuan's face darkened. "Of course it's okay. It's just a stray dog. I've been exercising regularly and have a very good physique. It's just that my pants are torn. It's totally fine."
Lin You: “…”
Only those with a guilty conscience will over-explain.
Lin You stood up holding the kitten, "If you're okay, I'll take the kitten to the doctor."
Shi Jingyuan was silent for a moment, then responded in a rough voice, "Yeah."
Lin You walked away holding the kitten, her slender shadow gradually lengthening on the bluestone brick path.
Shi Jingyuan saw her walking further and further away, and fumbled in his pocket impatiently, but found nothing.
Only then did he remember that he had dropped his cigarette box and lighter when he rescued the kitten.
"You little heartless ungrateful bastard!"
He complained and then lifted up the torn fabric on his pants.
The long, thin wound on his calf wasn't very deep, but it was already blue and swollen.
Shi Jingyuan sighed and prepared to take out his cell phone to call Liang Wu.
The light in front of him dimmed, he was startled, and looked up to meet Lin You's helpless gaze.
Shi Jingyuan: "Why are you back?"
"If I don't come back, I'm afraid of being called an ungrateful person."
Lin You didn't look at him, but squatted down and carefully examined his wound.
"Mr. Shi's hind legs are also injured."
Shi Jingyuan: “…”
The word "hind legs" made him feel insulted.
Lin You held the cat in one hand and supported his arm with the other, "Let's go to the hospital together."
Shi Jingyuan sat still, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Which hospital should we go to first? Should we go to see me first, or to see it first?"
He couldn't always go to the vet.
After pretending to think, Lin You said calmly, "Whoever is more seriously injured will be shown first."
Shi Jingyuan never thought that one day he would compete with a cat for human rights.
Seeing that he had a sullen face and didn't say anything.
Lin You raised her dimples and said softly, "Okay, I'll show you first, okay?"
Shi Jingyuan said nothing.
What does her reluctant tone mean?
Seeing that he still looked dissatisfied, Lin You suddenly couldn't help laughing.
When she smiled, Shi Jingyuan's face turned even darker.
"Okay, okay, of course you should show it to us first!"
Lin You had an expression that showed he was helpless. He lowered his head and said to Hu Baoer in his arms, "Hu Baoer, you are a generous cat. Be strong and don't bother with him."
Shi Jingyuan: “…”
He somewhat regretted saving the cat.
*
At the gate of the best private hospital in Jingang City, Vice President Liang Wu led two doctors and stood ready.
Ten minutes ago, he received a call from Shi Jingyuan, saying that he had suffered an external injury and needed to go to the hospital for treatment.
When Liang Wu heard the word "external injury", he was shocked.
Shi Jingyuan is not an ordinary person. His every move is related to the future development of the Shi family, and the development of the Shi family has a great impact on Jinggang City.
In these ten minutes, Liang Wu already had a hundred versions of Shi Jingyuan being injured in his mind.
From conspiracy-themed assassinations to intentional injuries disguised as traffic accidents, each case can shake up the business world of Beijing-Hong Kong City.
A taxi stopped in front of the hospital.
The woman holding the cat got out of the back seat and helped the people in the car get out.
Liang Wu just took a quick glance and then looked away.
Although this woman was beautiful, he was now concerned about Shi Jingyuan's safety and had no interest in gossiping.
"Liang Wu."
A light voice came from the side.
Liang Wu turned his head and saw clearly that the beautiful woman was supporting someone. Who else could it be but Shi Jingyuan?
Liang Wu: "No... Why did you take a taxi here? What's wrong with your clothes? Where are your bodyguards and your driver?"
Shi Jingyuan was too lazy to answer these questions. "Come and show me, my legs are almost limping."
Liang Wu took a look and saw that Shi Jingyuan was so shameless that he almost hung his entire body on the beautiful woman.
"I can't be lame. I can still stand and talk without any back pain."
Liang Wu said this, but he still had someone push the wheelchair over and arranged for him to go for an examination.
Shi Jingyuan sat in a wheelchair and said to Lin You beside him, "Give me Hu Baoer."
Lin You was confused, but still handed the kitten over.
Shi Jingyuan held the kitten in his arms and petted it, then stuffed the kitten into Liang Wu's arms.
"I'll go check it out, you take care of the wound."
Liang Wu: “???”
Lin You: “…”
Her eyes fell on Liang Wu's nameplate.
The position written on it is Vice Dean.
Shi Jingyuan pulled Lin You's arm and said, "Let's go and get checked."
Lin You looked back worriedly at Liang Wu, who was holding the cat with a confused look on his face.
Shi Jingyuan comforted him, "Don't worry, he's a vice president, he can treat people, so he can definitely treat a minor injury on a cat."
Is this a problem that can be cured?
Liang Wu was roaring in his heart, and he deeply regretted that he was still worried about Shi Jingyuan before.
The scourge has lasted for thousands of years, how could this bastard get into trouble so easily!
"Meow~"
The kitten in his arms arched his back, and Liang Wu came to his senses. He sighed and carried it to the debridement room.

Lin You accompanied Shi Jingyuan to undergo a series of examinations and listened to the doctor say a lot of professional words.
The general meaning is that the narrow and long wound is not serious, but the compression injury of the calf requires hospitalization.
Lin You pushed Shi Jingyuan back to the ward after his wound was treated. The nurse brought him a hospital gown and explained some precautions.
Lin Youzai wrote it down carefully and planned to tell He Xuan when he came.
After all the trouble, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Shi Jingyuan was lying on the bed receiving an IV drip. The nurse came in to check on him and saw that he was still wearing his own clothes. She said to Lin You who was guarding the bed:
"Family members, please change the patient into hospital gowns as soon as possible. He has suffered external injuries, and his clothes are so dirty. If they are not changed, the wound will easily become infected."
Lin You, who was forced to become a "family member", agreed reluctantly.
After the nurse left, she checked the time and asked Shi Jingyuan, "When can He Xuan come over?"
Shi Jingyuan pretended to be anxious, "He said he'll be here soon. I'll call and ask."
The call was connected, and Shi Jingyuan's brows were getting tighter and tighter without knowing what He Xuan said on the phone.
Lin You had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, he hung up the phone and told her bad news.
"He Xuan may not be able to come."
Lin You: “Why?”
She was full of disbelief, almost asking if he was playing tricks on her.
Shi Jingyuan was prepared and handed over the phone.
The video He Xuangang sent him.
A girl was throwing things around in anger, pointing at her phone screen and saying that if He Xuan dared to leave her alone today, she would break up with him.
Shi Jingyuan looked embarrassed: "Look, it's the middle of the night. Although I pay him a high monthly salary and need He Xuan to be available at any time, his girlfriend is making a fuss, so there's nothing I can do."
As a woman herself, Lin You still understands He Xuan’s girlfriend.
The nature of my boyfriend's job is special. He has to be on call at any time, day or night, when his boss calls. It's normal for a girl to feel lost and resentful.
Lin You pursed her lips and said, "You are President Shi. Besides He Xuan, is there no one else to take care of you?"
Shi Jingyuan frowned, "It's not that there isn't one. There's an old housekeeper at home. Wait a moment, I'll call the housekeeper."
He pretended to pick up his phone.
Lin You angrily pressed his arm and said, "Alright, the old housekeeper is so old, why are you bothering him so much in the middle of the night?"
Shi Jingyuan: "But it's inconvenient for me to move alone... and you're in a hurry to leave..."
Lin You finally understood, "Boss Shi, after all, you just want me to serve you here, right?"
Shi Jingyuan pondered: "It's not really serving, I can still take care of myself, it's just a matter of helping out occasionally."
Seeing that Lin You looked unhappy, he sighed in a pretentious manner.
"Forget it. No one forced me to look for the cat from noon to late at night, and no one forced me to save it. I brought this upon myself."
When Lin You heard this, perhaps because she was too shocked, she was stunned for a while.
"You said... you found it from noon till now?"
Lin You asked in disbelief.
Shi Jingyuan didn't want to tell her at first, but then he thought, since he had already done it, of course he had to let her know so that it would be worthwhile.
"Yeah. I said I haven't had dinner yet. Do you believe me?"
