Chapter 30
The early spring thunderstorm roared across the sky, but died down before sunrise.
The eighteen-minute blues moment shone into the entire ward through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows. The torn sky looked like a paint box shattered by God, but it could not resist the thick melancholy in the room.
A soft sigh was heard in the ward, followed by the sound of flipping medical records.
Qin Yue kept rubbing his eyebrows and sighing. It seemed that the noise had attracted the attention of the person on the bed, and the entire ward gained a bit of life after more than twenty days of dead silence.
"I'm incurable?"
Qin Yue looked up suddenly and found that the person on the bed had finally woken up. He walked over to the bed and grabbed the other person's arm. "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Speak kindly to me. Do you know that you almost died?"
Ever since Dr. Qin saw his good friend being rescued and transferred to the ICU, he wanted to sew up his broken mouth.
Yun Lin'ai didn't notice Qin Yue was here at first. He had clearly asked him to pick up Shi Yu, so he frowned and had not yet recovered from the pain that was gradually coming from his body.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Yue's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yun Lin'ai with an indescribable look. The room was full of surveillance cameras, and there were some things he couldn't say out loud.
Yun Lin'ai also seemed to be gradually waking up. His face turned ugly in an instant, and the memory in his brain was completely restored, which felt like needles pricking his temples. If Qin Yue hadn't stopped him, he would have thrown off the quilt and got out of bed.
"How long have I slept?"
His body functions have not fully recovered. The most seriously injured leg is still in plaster, his head is wrapped in gauze, and one of his ribs was broken due to the car accident.
"It's been almost a month." Qin Yue told him.
Yun Lin'ai's voice was very hoarse, and his throat was sore from not speaking for a long time.
He grabbed some cold water from the cabinet beside him and took a few big gulps. His temples were aching so much that he couldn't think straight, yet he was still thinking about what happened on the day of the car accident.
In order to find Shi Yu, he left the team without permission despite the border mission, but was hit by someone on the way to the southern region.
The car was smashed to pieces and he was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
Thinking that Shi Yu might still be in that research institute, Yun Lin'ai couldn't calm down and think. The sunlight after sunrise was a little dazzling. He closed his eyes, raised his hands and pinched them a few times, his voice still hoarse, "Where are my clothes?"
Qin Yue knew what he was going to do and quickly took a few steps forward. His tone was urgent but his voice was deliberately lowered. "Are you crazy? You're still trying to show off your abilities even though your leg is broken! Forget about you, I can't even leave this shabby hospital!"
Yun Linai frowned, his nerve pain making it difficult for him to speak: "What?"
At this time, there was a noise at the door of the ward, and Yun Che walked in followed by several assistants.
Yun Lin'ai understood everything at a glance.
Having just woken up, he was in a very bad mood. He sneered, "It's useless to send someone to follow him, so you try to put him under house arrest, right?"
Yun Che's face was also very bad. He had just been scolded by the chairman of Jinhaiwan, who was also his father. However, it was difficult to guess the thoughts of the superiors. He waved back several times.
"Don't watch him anymore, get out."
This time it was Qin Yue's turn to be stunned. He didn't understand the chairman's attitude, nor did he understand why he was watching him so closely a while ago but suddenly didn't intend to watch over him today.
Even letting Yun Linai go free.
Qin Yue frowned, the uneasiness in his heart gradually growing. Just as he was about to speak, Yun Linai beside him asked at the same time: "Where is the person who bumped into me?"
Yun Che said indifferently: "Who knows, he's dead."
"That's not something you should worry about. Your ultimate goal is to stay healthy and complete the mission."
When Yun Che's face turned cold, Yun Lin'ai was exactly the same as him, but it was really sad to see that the father and son had come to this point.
Yun Che's mood couldn't be good when he thought about his research institute being burned down. Now the people sent out to investigate only said that the Omega escaped by boat, and they have not been caught yet.
It seems that someone is really helping him.
"Once you've recovered from your injuries, you must head to the border immediately. I'll send more people to watch over you." Yun Che looked at him coldly, "If you make another mistake, you'll never see your grandfather again."
He has plenty of ways to prevent these two loving grandfather and grandson from seeing each other.
Yun Che glanced at Yun Lin'ai with gloomy eyes, "Your Omega..."
It was rare for Yun Lin'ai to look his father in the eye.
"I don't know how you rescued him, but you will never see him again in this life."
"A powerless Omega isn't worthy of someone like you to be a hero and save the damsel in distress."
Yun Che was so used to sitting in his seat that he actually developed a habit of looking down on everyone.
Yun Linai's face was as cold as ice. He asked him coldly, "So this is how you view Mother, too."
Yun Che's expression changed slightly.
Yun Linai added, "Her death anniversary is approaching."
Yun Che paused for a moment as he was about to turn around and leave, but the pause was barely noticeable. He didn't answer and left the ward with his people.
Yun Lin'ai was lost in thought as he pulled away the equipment on his body.
As Qin Yue and the others had expected, Shi Yu was no longer in the laboratory. Yun Lin'ai thought about asking Shen Shaowei for help a few months ago. He guessed something, but did not show it on his face.
But he couldn't tell whether the other party was safe for the time being.
Qin Yue: "What do you want to do now!"
Yun Linai moved a little, and the broken ribs made him unable to breathe due to the pain. His dark and deep eyes were filled with a hint of emotion.
"Call me."
His cell phone flew away at the scene of the car accident. After he received the call, he first called Shi Yu, but as expected, the call didn't go through.
Later, he placed all his hopes on Shen Shaowei.
Yun Lin'ai couldn't guess where Shen Shaowei would take Shi Yu, but the northern region was too far away, and it was difficult for him to judge whether the person was in good health.
Plus, if you're pregnant...
Yun Lin'ai raised his eyes and a moment of worry flashed in his indifferent eyes. This symptom lasted until the third call to Shen Shaowei.
Irritability gradually surfaced in his eyes. Under the symptoms of disorder, he had no Omega pheromones and it was difficult for him to calm down.
Finally, on the fifth call, the other end picked up the phone.
"Where is Shi Yu?" Yun Lin'ai's voice returned to the hoarseness it had when he first woke up.
He waited for a while, only to hear that the situation on the other side was not much better than his. After a long pause, he finally spoke to Yun Linai.
Shen Shaowei said: "I don't know either."
"The northern region was invaded by foreign forces. A month ago, I told Xiaochi not to return and to hide on a nearby island for a while. However, the last time he sent me his location was ten days ago. I had people search that island for five days."
Yun Lin'ai sat up uncontrollably and heard the next cruel words.
"We only found the boat that was supposed to leave the island, parked at the entrance. Everyone else was gone."
His brain, which had been operating at a high level, suddenly became dull. Yun Lin'ai's calm words were tinged with a hint of uncertainty. "Did he tell you what Shi Yu was like at that time?"
Shen Shaowei was also in a hurry to find his brother. He sat in the car heading to Beisha Island, smoking a cigarette all the time. When he heard Yun Lin'ai ask this, he remembered Chi Yang's panicked look more than ten days ago.
He slowly recalled, "Xiao Chi was desperately looking for a doctor at the time, but I arranged for medical care on his boat. He was mumbling something about bleeding or something... I'm not sure, and then he hung up."
Yun Lin'ai had no idea where the bleeding was, but his face looked even uglier than when he was in a coma.
Shen Shaowei sighed softly on the other end of the phone, unable to hide his fatigue. He hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time because of Chi Yang's disappearance.
"I know you're being watched closely right now. If there's any news here, I'll let you know as soon as possible."
Yun Linai didn't come back to his senses until Shen Shaowei hung up the phone. The pheromones in the air suddenly burst out uncontrollably. Qin Yue almost lost his balance. "You're crazy! Collect your pheromones!"
He rushed forward and quickly gave the other person an injection of inhibitor.
Yun Lin'ai closed his eyes for a while, looked out the window, and saw that the sky was bright.
In the second month after he recovered from his illness, Yun Lin'ai returned to the team. This time he made a big mistake. Leaving the team without permission was also very irresponsible to his teammates. So the day after Yun Che came out of the ward, he temporarily handed over the position of captain to Lu Yichuang.
Yun Lin'ai must follow Lu Yichuang's command in this mission.
So when Lu Yichuang received the order from his superiors, he was stunned for a moment. In the temporary command post, Lu Yichuang looked at the man's figure facing the moonlight, as if it was not him who was carrying out the mission seriously during the day.
Yun Lin'ai lowered his head, his hands were rubbed red by himself, but he couldn't stop rubbing them repeatedly, and the silver ring on his finger seemed to be rubbed brightly.
"Although this mission isn't too difficult, it's a bit troublesome. Do you think the assignments were clear during the daytime combat meeting?"
Lu Yichuang was really not capable of commanding people, but he had to go after Yun Linai, which was just like giving orders blindly to him.
However, he rarely heard Yun Linai pause and then say, "That's good. It's the same as what I thought before."
"Don't feel burdened. It's only right that I be relieved of my duties. After all, I was the one who abandoned you first."
Yun Lin'ai still felt guilty, so this time he listened to the chairman's words for the first time. Not only did he hand over the command power, he even did not say a word at the meeting and carefully wrote down all the arrangements that Lu Yichuang said.
Only at night, after the two of them returned to the dormitory alone, Yun Lin'ai began to daze, fiddling with the communicator that had only one signal bar but was useless.
His cell phone had long been broken, so naturally he couldn't receive any calls from Shi Yu.
"It was my fault. I was too impulsive."
At that time, Yun Lin'ai only wanted to bring Shi Yu to his side, neglecting all the unknowns, which caused him to miss so much and even abandoned his teammates who were doing the mission alone.
He is so selfish.
Yun Linai stood up and patted Lu Yichuan on the shoulder, "I won't leave this time."
After saying this, he seemed to return to normal and walked into his bedroom with his back straight.
Later, Lu Yichuang really thought that Yun Lin'ai had recovered completely.
Under his command, the mission proceeded in an orderly manner. After sneaking into the area where the dangerous elements were, they began to act separately. Lu Yichuang led the team to quickly capture some people, but they still couldn't find the black box.
Yun Lin'ai led the team to dive deep into the complex abandoned site. They kept searching upwards. The atmosphere should have been tense, but the communicator in Yun Lin'ai's arms suddenly vibrated.
He suddenly stopped moving, and his teammates behind him also stopped walking after reacting.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
Even though the person in front of them was no longer the captain, they still called him Yun Lin'ai as always.
Yun Lin'ai only paused for a second before something unexpected happened. Those people still noticed the movement and even pulled out their guns and shot at him.
"Find cover!"
Yun Lin'ai lowered his voice and bent down to avoid the bullet that was so close to him.
He stopped distracting himself and focused all his energy on fighting the opponent.
It was not until the reinforcements arrived that Yun Lin'ai was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The enemy didn't have many bullets left, and they each wounded one person, leaving only the last one to deal with.
"You go to the back! I'll take care of this." Lu Yichuang shouted to Yun Lin'ai.
Yun Linai frowned, rarely ignoring his words, "This shouldn't be the case."
"Really? Then how many times have you made that mistake?" If Lu Yichuang had time, he would definitely roll his eyes at him.
Thinking back to when Yun Lin'ai was the captain, he would charge into battle alone every time they encountered danger, and Lu Yichuang couldn't stop him.
I don't know how many times they have saved each other.
No matter how you put it on him, nothing works.
Lu Yichuang thought, this person is really too soft-hearted.
Seeing Yun Lin'ai still by his side helping him to kill the criminal, he couldn't help but show off a bit, "You are the captain and I am the captain!?"
"Go find the black box!"
Lu Yichuang felt guilty after he finished shouting. After all, this was the last time he shouted at Yun Lin'ai like that.
He wouldn't stop me from having dinner at his house, would he?
Yun Linai was silent for a while, then he threw his gun and bullets to Lu Yichuan, saying, "Don't get hurt."
Sometimes Lu Yichuan really wanted to curse, but Jiang Kuo had been trying to change his bad habit recently. He touched his upper and lower lips together a few times before finally uttering, "Damn Alpha."
Yun Lin'ai went alone to find the location of the black box and finally found it in their leader's office.
The thing was hidden behind a painting, but he never thought that a painting could trigger a mechanism.
He usually carried a dagger with him, so after sending his location signal to Lu Yichuang via the intercom, he walked in alone.
