But Lin Bai was an exception because Sun Xiaogang absolutely believed that Lin Bai would never deliberately provoke his mother.
So he nodded and agreed.
“Okay, go ahead. I’ll wait at the door.”
Lin Bai patted his shoulder and comforted him, “Don’t worry. It won’t take long. I just need a few minutes.”
After saying that, Lin Bai looked down at the time on his phone.
It was already midnight. In a few minutes, it would be past midnight.
After midnight, it would be a new month.
His Mind-Reading Skill quota would also be reset.
That was why Lin Bai was so sure that regardless of whether Sun Xiaogang’s mother cooperated or not, he would only need a few minutes at most to get the answer he wanted.
In the ward, the anesthesiologist gave Sun Xiaogang’s mother some simple tests. After confirming that she had completely woken up and that there were no problems with her mind, he left.
Lin Bai pushed the door open and entered. He politely greeted her.
“Auntie.”
Unexpectedly, when Sun Xiaogang’s mother saw Lin Bai, her expression instantly changed.
She used her slightly injured hand to scratch everywhere, as if she really wanted to find something to smash Lin Bai’s face with.
Seeing her like this, Lin Bai quickly went up to hold her hand.
“Auntie, don’t be so agitated. There must be a misunderstanding. I don’t know what Assistant Wang told you that made me so angry when you saw me. How about this? I’ll bring you a pen and paper. If you have anything to say, just write it down, okay?”
As he said this, Lin Bai put the pen and paper on the bedside table next to Mrs. Sun’s hand.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sun grabbed the pen and paper and threw it at Lin Bai.
It was a pity that her arm was injured and she was weak, so she could not exert much strength.
The paper fluttered and fell to the ground, not even touching the corner of Lin Bai’s clothes.
Mrs. Sun became even angrier when she saw this.
Lin Bai quickly glanced at the time.
There was still half a minute until midnight.
He was very good-tempered and took another piece of paper, which he then placed beside Mrs. Sun’s hand.
“Auntie, what exactly did Assistant Wang say to you?”
Mrs. Sun angrily grabbed a pen. After thinking for a moment, she did not throw it at Lin Bai. Instead, she used all her strength to write the words “get lost” in large font on the paper.
It was finally midnight.
Lin Bai activated his mind-reading ability and instantly heard the thoughts of Sun Xiaogang’s mother.
She roared in her heart with all her strength, “Get lost!! Stay away from my son! Don’t touch my son! Our family doesn’t need your dirty money! Let my son go!!”
Lin Bai was baffled by what he heard.
He originally thought that as long as he could endure until midnight and activate his Mind-Reading Skill, he would be able to immediately understand what had happened.
In the end, not only did he fail to understand, but he was even more confused.
‘What is going on?’
Lin Bai wanted to listen for a while more, hoping to get more useful clues.
Unfortunately, his Mind-Reading Skill was too low-level at the moment. Just this short while had already exceeded the time limit.
Mrs. Sun’s voice disappeared. Other than being scolded, Lin Bai did not get any useful clues.
The only thing that could barely be considered a clue was that he could guess that Mrs. Sun had suddenly become abnormal. She was demanding to be discharged from the hospital, and even wanted to commit suicide.
The reason behind this was related to the medical expenses and the relationship between Lin Bai and Sun Xiaogang.
But the problem was…
What was wrong with his relationship with Sun Xiaogang?
They were just ordinary classmates and roommates. Was there anything wrong with that?
The more Lin Bai thought about it, the more he felt that it was strange.
He wasn’t angry now. He just felt wronged and indignant.
The more he couldn’t figure it out, the more he had to figure it out!
Since the Mind-Reading Skill couldn’t bring him any clues, then the enhanced version of the Divine Level Human Discernation Technique should be fine, right?
As Lin Bai thought so, the enhanced version of the Divine Level Human Discernation Technique immediately began to operate on its own.
A huge text box immediately appeared above Sun Xiaogang’s mother’s head. It was densely packed with her past life experiences.
Lin Bai skipped to the last paragraph.
Just as he had expected, the last paragraph was the record that Assistant Wang had deliberately provoked her not long ago.
There was not much content, but after reading it, Lin Bai was so angry that he almost cursed on the spot.
‘That bastard Assistant Wang had actually told Mrs. Sun that Sun Xiaogang and I are actually in an exclusive, romantic relationship and that that’s was why I paid and contributed so much to help their family!’
The records in the Divine Level Human Discernation Technique could already be considered relatively reserved.
Lin Bai estimated that Assistant Wang’s original words should be a hundred times dirtier than this. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have provoked his mother to such an extent.
Mrs. Sun believed it. She thought that her treatment fees were all obtained by her son selling his body. That was why she was so agitated and hated Lin Bai so much.
She had attempted suicide because she couldn’t get discharged from the hospital. She also wanted to reduce the burden of the medical fees so that her son wouldn’t continue to do such immoral things for money.
Lin Bai cursed in his heart: ‘F*ck! How did that son of a b*tch come up with this idea!’
Now that he had finally figured out the reason, Lin Bai had no way to explain it.
That was because he couldn’t expose his ability to read minds and the secret about his ability to read other people’s life experiences.
Lin Bai could not think of a way to clear the misunderstanding with Mrs. Sun.
He could only suppress the anger in his heart and maintain his previously inexplicable and aggrieved expression. He said to Mrs. Sun, “Auntie, don’t be so agitated. Have a good rest. I’ll be leaving first.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Sun Xiaogang had been waiting at the door the whole time. When he saw Lin Bai come out, he hurriedly asked, “How was it? Did you find out what that bastard told my mother?”
Lin Bai smiled bitterly.
He knew, but he couldn’t say it.
Otherwise, the two of them would feel awkward when they got along in the future.
So, he could only lie and say, “I don’t know yet. Auntie was a little agitated, so I didn’t ask too much. Hurry up and go in to accompany Auntie. Tell her to calm down.”
“Oh right, don’t mention me and don’t mention anything related to the medical fees. Just casually talk about common things.”
Lin Bai was afraid that his mother would be agitated again, so he especially reminded Sun Xiaogang a few more times.
Sun Xiaogang was not a fool. He immediately guessed that his mother’s previous ruckus was most likely related to the medical fees.
It was just that he guessed in the wrong direction. He thought that his mother was worried that the medical fees were too expensive, which was why she did those actions.
He nodded and said, “I’m sorry for making you accompany me for half the night.”
“We’re best buddies. Why are you speaking to me like this?”
Sun Xiaogang asked, “It’s already so late. The school has already closed for the night. What are you going to do tonight?”
Lin Bai said, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll find a place eventually. You should go and accompany Auntie first.”
To be honest, Lin Bai did not have the mood to think about where to spend the night.
He just wanted to find a place to calm down and digest this f**king mess.
Then he would think about how to clear up this misunderstanding.
A direct explanation would definitely not work. Mrs. Sun got all worked up the moment she saw him so she definitely would not listen to what he said at all.
So, he had to find another solution..
