Lin Yao was actually just a catalyst. After all, he was just a young man who didn't know how to restrain himself.
This young man actually had a relatively high level of education. Although he had just graduated, his income in the second month of work had already exceeded 10,000 yuan per month.
With such an income, it was not difficult to live in Nancheng, and it was considered an above - average income. However, this young man just liked to buy all kinds of electronic products. He started applying for credit cards right after graduation and had swiped a lot of things on his credit card during his work.
Moreover, this young man was good at putting on a show. He was polite and kind to everyone in the company, almost always saying yes to any request. So when he was fired, his colleagues had even reminded him to leave Nancheng quickly, but he just refused to believe in evil.
During the period when he couldn't find a job, he still didn't change his habit of buying all kinds of electronic products. Even when his life was so tight, he still took out a loan to buy the latest model of mobile phone, which eventually led to the complete collapse of his finances.
The young man confessed to his crime, but he denied the charge of murder. He just said that he wanted to scare the kids and steal something by the way. He hurt Lin Yao because he was too scared of being discovered, so in a moment of desperation, he did something evil.
For the rest of the things, he said nothing and firmly refused to admit that there was someone else directing him. He took all the blame on himself.
Finally, the police were helpless. After searching for evidence from multiple sources, they found that suddenly there was more than 500,000 yuan in his parents' bank account. Holding this huge sum of money, the police asked him about its source.
The young man stammered and couldn't explain clearly. Eventually, he admitted that there was someone directing him behind the scenes. However, no matter what the police asked about the person behind the scenes, he always said he didn't know. It was hard to tell if it was true or false.
The young man said that on the day Miaomiao was on vacation, a school - uniformed child dragged him into a dark alley next to the school, and the two reached a cooperation agreement. However, when the police checked the street surveillance, they did see the young man enter the alley, but they didn't find the student he mentioned. From beginning to end, he was the only one who entered the dark alley.
The police thought he was lying, but based on the young man's psychological quality and the detailed way he described things, it was probably the truth.
The person who was arrested for coordinating with him also knew nothing about the mastermind. The police could only hold on to this lead. They first sentenced the two of them and then continued to investigate.
Lin Yao didn't let Miaomiao know about the following things. He was also secretly looking for the person who wanted to kill Miaomiao.
It was currently known that this person might be from the same school as Miaomiao. Lin Yao secretly sent people to find out who had a grudge against Miaomiao or had a conflict with her at school.
But the result they got was that Miaomiao usually only played with Wei Ziqi and the others. Neither her classmates nor students from other classes could break into their small circle of four. There were no conflicts. Usually at school, Miaomiao and the others never caused trouble and were quite kind to others, maintaining a neither - too - close - nor - too - distant relationship.
There was completely no one with a motive for the crime, and now there were even fewer clues.
Lin Yao could only choose to lie low and protect Miaomiao more carefully, waiting for the person behind the scenes to show their true colors.
During the entire following winter vacation, all the original plans were disrupted. Lin Yao had a poor physical foundation to begin with. Before he had Miaomiao, he had always been working under high pressure, which made his health even worse.
After having Miaomiao, Lin Yao began to pay attention to health preservation. However, in the early days, there were many things in the company that he couldn't let go of, so he still often stayed up late to work. Only recently, when he gradually didn't need to be so busy, did his health start to improve.
However, after all, although Lin Yao maintained his appearance well and still looked like a young man in his twenties, he was actually in his thirties. The functions of his body were naturally not comparable to those of a young man.
Now, after suddenly suffering such a great disaster, being stabbed so many times and losing so much blood, he really needed to replenish his body to recover.
Miaomiao stayed by her silly dad's side and refused to go anywhere. Every day, she served soup and medicine like a little maid.
She even invited her grandmother from the old house, so Lin Yao didn't even need to cook.
Being served so attentively by his little caring daughter, Lin Yao was very happy. But in a trance, he always felt that he might be a useless person. He was both helpless and enjoying it.
"Daddy, are you feeling better?"
Miaomiao lay on the edge of the bed, holding her chubby little face and asking.
Lin Yao was stunned for a moment. He hadn't heard Miaomiao call him "daddy" for a long time. Since he corrected her when she was a child, Miaomiao had never forgotten to call him "dad". Why was she so different today?
"Why doesn't Miaomiao call me 'dad' anymore?"
Lin Yao asked gently. But looking at Miaomiao's somewhat confused eyes, he suddenly understood.
"Do you know I'm daddy?"
After integrating the memories of his previous life, Lin Yao could even feel the changes in himself. From his temperament to his speech and behavior, he unconsciously brought in some small habits from his previous life. Maybe it was precisely because Miaomiao noticed this that she treated him like a porcelain doll.
After all, in his previous life, his health was extremely poor. In winter, he would gasp for breath after walking a few steps, and sometimes he even had to use a wheelchair when going out.
Only in spring and summer, when the weather and air were relatively good, was his health in his previous life a bit better.
"Yes." Miaomiao nodded heavily and answered firmly.
"Don't you think it's strange that dad has become daddy?" Lin Yao continued to ask gently, feeling a bit jealous in his heart.
Although he had integrated the memories of two lives, he still thought of himself as the modern Lin Yao, not the Lin Yao who stirred up trouble in the martial arts world.
"It's not strange. Before, dad was dad and daddy was daddy, but now dad is daddy and daddy is also dad."
Miaomiao's words sounded like a tongue - twister, but Lin Yao understood them in a second and burst out laughing.
For Miaomiao, she could distinguish between his previous and present selves before, but now she could consider them as one. Whether before or now, Miaomiao's love for him had never changed. Now that they were integrated, Miaomiao didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. So there was no question of one of them being a substitute.
That bit of jealousy was completely dispelled by Miaomiao's honest answer. Lin Yao pinched his daughter's cheek and liked her more and more.
He just felt that having such a daughter made all the protection in these two lives worthwhile.
After all, the mutually caring affection was more worthy of being cherished.
