During a team meal, the Yun City Football Club players and their coach, Wu Da, were attacked by a group of masked thugs. The attack mirrored a past trauma for Wu Da, and though the players tried to defend him, they were outmatched. The thugs fled when the police arrived, leaving Wu Da and several players, including star forward Li Yi, seriously injured. Lin Fan arrived at the hospital, realizing the attack was targeted at the whole team, and tasked Li Zhen with investigating the outsiders responsible.

After Loli arrived, she had the officers take statements from the players and personally sought out Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin, please come this way," said Loli, leading Lin Fan aside.

"When did you get back?" Loli asked in a hushed tone.

Lin Fan replied, "Just got back."

Loli exclaimed, "Oh, a little heads-up would have been nice, so I could prepare myself."

Lin Fan laughed, "Well, I wanted to surprise you, but unfortunately, this happened just as I returned."

Loli puzzled, "Why would anyone do such a thing? Did Wu Da offend any enemies?"

Lin Fan answered, "No, this was a targeted action against the team. Someone wants to ruin our team."

Loli was shocked, "Ruin the team? That's so malicious. It's probably because the Yun City Team is too good and jealousies are arising. In three days, the Yun City Team will compete against the Hang City Team. Wu Da has some grudges with Hang City Team's owner, Jin Jiufu. Could it be Jin Jiufu?"

Lin Fan said, "It's possible, but if Jin Jiufu were doing this at such a critical time, it might be too obvious. If he's not foolish, he wouldn't make such a blatant move."

Loli continued, "The key now is to find these thugs. Our police are already searching for them. They can't escape Yun City."

Lin Fan nodded, realizing that these criminals who dared to attack in broad daylight must have already planned their escape route. Finding them wouldn't be easy.

However, aside from the police searching, Li Zhen is also looking for them. If neither can find them, Lin Fan will take action himself.

Right now, more than catching the perpetrators, Lin Fan is concerned about the team's injuries and the upcoming match.

"Captain Luo, the statements from the players are done. Wu Da and Li Yi are in the operating room, so they can't give statements for now," said an officer who walked over.

Loli responded, "Got it."

Loli turned to Lin Fan, "We have to go back. Reach out to me when you have time. I miss you."

She lowered her voice for the last sentence, her cheeks flushing, and she reached out to squeeze Lin Fan's hand.

Lin Fan smiled, "Tonight."

Loli felt happy but couldn't show it in this setting, suppressing her delight.

Loli then left.

Most of the players have had their injuries treated. Except for Li Yi and Wu Da, the others are generally okay. With two days' rest, they can still play, which is a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

Lin Fan was about to say something to everyone.

The door to the operating room opened.

Li Yi was lying on a stretcher, being pushed out by a nurse. His right leg had just undergone surgery, wrapped in thick bandages.

Everyone instantly gathered around with concern.

"I'm fine, no need to worry, everyone. The doctor said my surgery was successful, and my leg can be saved. Although I won't be able to join you on the battlefield for some time," Li Yi said with forced optimism.

Lin Fan comforted him, "It's okay, focus on getting better."

He observed Li Yi's condition; it was indeed not too serious. Moreover, with his presence, he would ensure Li Yi's leg recovers completely.

Li Yi said, "Boss, you're back! I'm sorry, boss, I didn't protect Uncle Da well."

Lin Fan smiled, "No, you did great."

Li Yi asked, "How's Uncle Da doing now?"

Lin Fan answered, "Still in critical care."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's expression darkened.

At this moment, another doctor emerged from the operating room, "Who is Wu Da's relative?"

Lin Fan hurried over, "I am. How is Uncle Da?"

The doctor replied, "We've saved the patient, but the injuries are severe, especially the head was hit. He's still in a coma and needs to be admitted to the ICU. You're his relative and need to fill out the admission paperwork."

Lin Fan said, "I'm his employer."

The doctor asked, "Employer? He has no relatives?"

Lin Fan replied, "To the best of my knowledge, Uncle Da has no family left. I'm his family now."

The doctor hesitated, "Okay, you'll handle his admission."

Actually, whether or not he stays in the hospital makes little difference now, since Lin Fan is back and plans to help Wu Da recover quickly.

However, Lin Fan reconsidered and decided not to intervene unless Uncle Da's life was at risk this time. He'll leave him in the hospital for now.

The attackers were targeting the Yun City Team, aiming to bring them down. At this time, they're definitely watching the team's situation. If Lin Fan healed Uncle Da, they might set their sights on the team again.

With so many people on the team, Lin Fan couldn't watch everyone closely.

It's better to show weakness and let the attackers think twice about continued aggression, ensuring the team can play in three days.

Wu Da was wheeled out of the operating room; his head was bandaged and he was indeed unconscious.

Seeing this, all the players began to cry in sadness.

"Uncle Da, we're sorry. We couldn't protect you!" The players reproached themselves.

Lin Fan noticed a young man whose eyes were swollen from crying.

This was Wu Lei.

Before heading to Southern Yunnan, Lin Fan personally visited Wu Lei's parents and persuaded them to let Wu Lei join the Yun City Team.

Initially, it was agreed that Wu Lei would come to sign up the next day, but Lin Fan went to Southern Yunnan that day.

So Lin Fan later entrusted Wu Da to have Wu Lei start training with the team as a reserve player.

Wu Lei also came to the dinner today. Fortunately, he wasn't officially a player yet, so no one recognized him, and the thugs didn't target him.

However, Wu Lei charged forward to protect Uncle Da and fought the attackers, getting injured on his forehead, now bandaged.

Wu Da was moved to the ICU, and Li Yi was conveniently placed in the same room for mutual care.

"Family members, please remain quiet. You can't visit for now so the patients can rest well. We'll arrange visits once they're awake," the nurse said.

Lin Fan asked, "When will he wake up?"

The nurse replied, "It's uncertain. With this kind of injury, it might take a few days. Most importantly, no disturbances. We'll manage that, of course."

After giving instructions, the nurse left.

Lin Fan murmured a response.

But once she left, Lin Fan took out three Silver Needles from his coat.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi beside him widened his eyes. What's the boss planning?

A moment later, Lin Fan came out of the ICU.

The players were waiting outside.

Lin Fan said, "Uncle Da's awake and wants to see everyone. You can go in now, in batches, and later we'll return to the club."

This news thrilled the players. How could Uncle Da recover so quickly? Is it true?

Thus, they went in successively to visit Uncle Da.

Lin Fan approached Wu Lei, gave him a pat on the shoulder, and asked, "How's the training going these days?"

Wu Lei replied, "Pretty good. I've learned a lot. Uncle Da is very dedicated in teaching me."

Lin Fan said, "Now that Li Yi's leg is injured, we need a lead striker. How about you replace Li Yi in the match in three days?"

Wu Lei was stunned; he had never played in a formal match before. Lin Fan wants him to play?
