Don't meet me in your next life.

Walking into the hospital lobby, Lu Sichen sat on a chair for a very long time.

Now that Yi Yi is pregnant with her brother's child and has decided to give birth, he should at least clear up his brother's misunderstanding of Yi Yi and make her happy. That's probably all he can do for her.

He decided to have a serious talk with his brother. He went to the garage and called Lin Lubai, but the caller said the other party was out of service area and he could only call again later.

After having breakfast, Xiang Yi communicated with the doctor about her grandmother's condition. Her grandmother's condition was not optimistic, and the doctor told her to be prepared.

Xiang Yi sat in the corridor, sobbing uncontrollably.

She took out her phone and called Lin Lubai, but she couldn't get through after several attempts. She tried another number, but still couldn't get through.

"Grandma had an accident. Are you free? Come back for a bit if you can." Xiang Yi sent him a message.

Unable to get through to Lin Lubai on the phone, Xiang Yi felt uneasy.

It was drizzling here in Linlubai, but in order to start work as scheduled tomorrow, the site still needed to be cleaned up.

As they were finishing work, Lin Lubai noticed that the road ahead was slippery. If anyone were to accidentally walk across it, they could slip and fall into the woods below. The woods below were two sloping slopes, and falling down there would almost certainly cost them their lives.

"Xiao Zhao, have a few people come over here and clear this area. Lower this section a bit. It's slippery here when it rains, so be careful. Also, get some small fencing to put here." Lin Lubai planned to lower this section slightly, leaving the sides higher, so that even if someone slipped and fell, they wouldn't fall down.

Xiao Zhao went to communicate with the project manager. At that moment, a worker came over, but before he could stand up, he slipped and fell.

Lin Lubai grabbed him, but the ground was too slippery from the rain, and he couldn't hold on. The two of them slid down from the height.

Below was a slope, surrounded by trees and bushes, so falling down wouldn't normally be a big problem. Moreover, Lin Lubai was a trained fighter; he quickly rolled to the tree in front of him, about 15 feet high, where he could use the momentum to stop—his only chance, and the worker's. However, if the worker missed that opportunity, Lin Lubai had to grab him; otherwise, if they rolled any further down, the outcome would be uncertain.

When they rolled to the tree, the worker tried to grab it, but he wasn't strong enough and was pulled down by the force of the slide. Lin Lubai quickly grabbed the worker's clothes with both hands and hooked his feet onto the tree. However, due to the inertia of the two of them, and the fact that the worker was also quite heavy, this exertion instantly dragged Lin Lubai's body half a meter forward and flung him towards the tree beside him. A broken piece of wood, supported by the tree, pierced his chest the instant he was thrown over.

Lin Lubai clung on tightly, blood flowing from his chest. Lin Lubai's grip gave the worker a brief respite, allowing him to grab onto a nearby tree and be saved.

Lin Lubai finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that he was rescued.

The worker wasn't seriously injured; it was just a minor abrasion. The two got up and walked upstairs.

When the people above saw the two of them fall, they immediately called for a rescue. Xiao Zhao was terrified.

The people above drove the excavator over, lowered the ropes, and several people brought down the stretcher as well.

Finally, Lin Lubai was helped onto a stretcher and carried upstairs. Xiao Zhao performed emergency hemostasis on Lin Lubai. The driver and Xiao Zhao took Lin Lubai, while the construction worker took the employee and drove directly to the hospital.

Lin Lubai was not in mortal danger, but he had lost a lot of blood and was somewhat weak. The doctor removed the wooden stick, performed hemostasis and anti-inflammatory treatment, and admitted him to the hospital for observation for two days.

Knowing it wasn't a big problem, Lin Lubai refused outright. He told Xiao Zhao to call the family doctor, as he was going back to his place.

"Boss, how about tomorrow? It's already 7 o'clock, and it will take at least three hours to get here," Xiao Zhao said.

"I have to go back today. I can't sleep in this godforsaken place." Lin Lubai hated the smell of disinfectant.

"Okay, I'll contact him now." Xiao Zhao had no choice but to have the family doctor come overnight. He kept Lin Lubai at the hospital and waited for him to arrive.

Lin Lubai wanted to send a message to Xiang Yiyi saying that he was injured, but he found that his phone was lost.

"Xiao Zhao, I lost my phone. Can you ask someone to help me find it?" Lin Lubai said to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao quickly called the engineering department to ask someone to help him find someone.

"Why don't you use mine for now, Mr. Lin?" Xiao Zhao handed over his phone.

Lin Lubai picked up his phone, intending to call Xiang Yiyi, but found that he didn't remember her number.

Well, it must be fate. Lin Lubai handed the phone back to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao was a little confused. What was wrong with his boss? Why wouldn't he make a phone call?

Xiang Yi tried calling Lin Lubai all morning but couldn't get through. She tried again in the afternoon but still couldn't get through. Now she tried calling Lin Lubai again but still couldn't get through. Her eyelids kept twitching.

"Lu Sichen, I can't get through to Lin Lubai on the phone." Xiang Yiyi had no choice but to ask Lu Sichen for help.

"I called this morning too, but I couldn't get through. Don't worry, I'll try again," Lu Sichen comforted her.

"Okay, let me know when you get through." Xiang Yi hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Sichen dialed Lin Lubai's number again, but still couldn't get through.

"Grandpa, do me a favor. Call my brother's maternal grandfather and ask for his assistant's phone number." Lu Sichen called his grandfather for help.

"Why do you need your brother's assistant's phone number?"

His grandson was very sensible, but he lacked enthusiasm for business and preferred freedom. Lu Yaodong was quite surprised when his grandson suddenly asked for his brother's assistant's phone number.

"I need to contact him, but his phone is always out of service."

"Okay, I'll ask." Lu Yaodong hung up the phone.

He tried calling Lin Lubai, but the call couldn't be connected.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, ask An Qi for Lin Lubai's assistant's phone number and send it to me right away."

Two minutes later, Xiao Liu gave Xiao Zhao's phone number to Lu Yaodong.

Lu Yaodong dialed Xiao Zhao's number, and Xiao Zhao answered.

"Xiao Zhao, this is Grandpa Xiao Bai. I couldn't get through to Xiao Bai on the phone, so I had to call you. Is he with you?" Lu Yaodong said.

"Hello Grandpa Lu, Mr. Lin is next to me. I'll let him answer the phone." Xiao Zhao handed the phone to Lin Lubai.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, I just lost my phone." Lin Lubai didn't want Lu Yaodong to worry.

"That's good. Just be careful, your brother called me and said he couldn't get through to you, so he asked me to get Xiao Zhao's number for him." Lu Yaodong wanted to strengthen the bond between the brothers.

“Oh, I’ll give him a call later,” Lin Lubai said.

"Okay." Lu Yaodong hung up the phone.

Lin Lubai stared blankly at the phone. Xiang Yiyi wasn't calling him, but Lu Sichen was. Could it be that the two of them...? Thinking of this, Lu Sichen's heart couldn't help but ignite a flame.

He returned the phone to Xiao Zhao; he wasn't going to make that call.
