Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 230 Teacher, Senior Brother is fine!
This look made Huang Xin nervous.

Perhaps due to the excessive pressure he's been under lately, he couldn't help but reveal his true feelings a bit too much.

Fortunately-

"Teacher, we owe it all to Senior Brother Huang! If it weren't for him, I really don't know what would have happened!"

Liu Pan suddenly spoke up: "Nan Zhuren couldn't hold onto the visitor at all, and almost let the visitor fall! Fortunately, my senior brother lent a hand!"

He praised sincerely, "It's all thanks to my senior brother!"

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

His chest heaved, as if he was about to say something.

"Hiss—" However, the intense pain quickly made him gasp as he moved, forcing him to stop thinking.

They no longer pay attention to these relatively unimportant little things.

He now has more urgent matters to attend to.

He looked down hard at his chest and asked Liu Pan, "Did the doctor say how serious it is? How long will I need to stay in the hospital, and when can I return to work normally?"

Because of his family background, Liu Pan was able to describe the basic symptoms of his illness relatively clearly.

He recalled for a moment and said, "Theoretically, I could be discharged after two days of observation. Then I looked at the X-ray, and in terms of the degree of fracture, it wasn't serious. Most people with good physical condition can recover in one or two months. At your age, teacher, it would take at least three months. After all, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone..."

What do you mean, "At my age, this young man's emotional intelligence seems a bit lacking"... Oh well, I should be used to it by now.

"Can you work?" Lin Lilin sounded a little nervous.

"In principle, you shouldn't work and should rest more... but if it's really necessary, it depends on your personal energy, teacher."

The so-called "in principle" issues are basically absolute conservative solutions designed to shirk responsibility, and in most cases are unnecessary or even detached from reality.

In other words, his injuries were not serious.

Liu Pan added in a low voice, "The reason I'm still in the hospital is mainly to see if you have any other needs, such as a medical examination to assess my injuries..."

The young man seemed very unwilling to accept this and still couldn't forget it.

Lin Lilin waved his hand weakly, suppressing his apprentice's thoughts for the second time.

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

"Xiao Huang, this happened rather suddenly. I haven't handed over a lot of work yet, so I need you to go back and handle it."

Huang Xin immediately stood up. He was required to be there due to his status, but he couldn't wait to leave.

“My schedule is on my desktop. Go through my contacts according to the records on it and explain my situation to the people I was supposed to meet these next few days. Apologize sincerely,” Lin Lilin added. “Also, make sure to pay attention to that supervisory exchange meeting in a while and coordinate it with the college.”

Huang Xin nodded repeatedly, pretending to listen attentively.

They then hurriedly left.

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

Lin Lilin opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

It seems like a struggle. There's a tug-of-war, like knowing you're about to do something foolish, but trying to stop yourself from doing it.

But he lowered his voice and whispered, "Go outside and see if anyone is around."

There was no one else in Lin Lilin's hospital room except for him and Liu Pan.

Upon hearing this, Liu Pan immediately put on a serious face, walked to the door with an air of importance, peeked around cautiously, and then returned to sit down with an air of importance.

"Teacher, please feel free to tell me what it is." Lin Lilin pursed his lips and said, "Just like I just told your senior brother, this happened very suddenly. A lot of work was not handed over, and there were many loose ends that only I could handle—that were not cleaned up."

He looked at Liu Pan and said, "I don't trust anyone else to do these things; only you can do them."

Judging from Lin Lilin's tone, you can tell how important the following matter is.

If given a choice, he would prefer someone with greater capabilities. Unfortunately, when it comes to the most crucial level, the sense of security provided by "status" outweighs the trust derived from "ability."

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

Lin Lilin shook out his clothes; he had now been changed into a hospital gown.

"Go find my clothes first. There's a USB drive in the inside pocket of my coat. The contents are very important; you absolutely can't lose it," Lin Lilin said. "I also have two cell phones; bring them to me!"

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

Liu Pan also felt an overwhelming tension, but his underlying emotions were completely different from Lin Lilin's.

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

The excitement was palpable.

"And one more thing," Lin Lilin added, "Although the visitor was rescued, the current situation still constitutes an accident, and the school will definitely send someone to investigate. Just in case... I need you to take an account book from my office home for me!"

Lin Lilin's voice grew even lower: "The thing is in the cabinet on my desk."

"First, open the third drawer from the top. There's a combination lock on it with the code '010'. Inside, there's a box that's also locked; you'll need a key to open it."

"The key is in the second drawer from the top, which is also locked with a combination lock. The combination is '198'."

Liu Pan nodded repeatedly.

He forced himself to suppress his voice: "The ledger is hidden in a combination lock cabinet, and the key is also in the combination lock cabinet. The passwords are '010' and '198'."

"Keep your voice down!" Lin Lilin quickly scolded.

Liu Pan quickly covered his mouth and nodded.

"Go quickly!" Lin Lilin snapped. "Get the USB drive first!"

Liu Pan immediately rushed out the door, feeling extremely nervous yet also unable to suppress his joy.

while walking.

"Huh?" His eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior brother?"

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

"Oh, junior brother," Huang Xin said, turning around. "This is our teacher's ward round nurse. She was just about to go see the teacher. I asked her, and it seems the teacher's problem isn't serious."

Upon hearing this, Liu Pan almost broke out in a cold sweat.

[If that nurse had come in while I was talking to my teacher, wouldn't that have been...?]

[Luckily, my senior brother was there and held off the outsiders.]

He quickly laughed it off with Huang Xin, his eyes filled with even more gratitude as he looked at his senior.

After he walked away, Huang Xin also strode towards the hospital gate, ready to perform their respective duties.

He silently recited in his heart:

[It has a USB drive, so I can carry it with me; it has an account book, a combination lock, and the numbers 010 and 198...]
