Chapter 242: The Winner Of The Supporting Role

Chapter 242: The Winner of Supporting Roles

Supporting roles are a more awkward existence for protagonists and antagonists.

For example, many supporting roles are often not favored by the author, not loved by the female lead, and disliked by readers. Their purpose is to highlight the protagonist with the greatest value.

They may come from powerful families or humble backgrounds, but they all have one thing in common: they are willing to become the protagonist's assistant in unexpected situations, taking on the responsibility of helping when the protagonist or the plot needs them, even resorting to tricks.

Frankly speaking, they are spare tires for the revolution. They are taken out and used when needed, and then discarded.

Of course, by following in the footsteps of the protagonist, supporting roles occasionally get to taste the leftovers of the protagonist or bask in their glory in their careers and experiences, and even gain a good supporting female role, becoming the lifelong winner of supporting roles.

But no matter how great their achievements are, they are definitely not comparable to the protagonist, and they must be prepared to sacrifice for the protagonist at any time. Some of the most tragic ones may even become cannon fodder for the protagonist to deal with the antagonist.

In short, the protagonist makes them unable to go east when asked to go west, and they can't drive away the chickens when asked to chase away the dogs. They must be obedient, devoted, and extremely submissive.

And when Li Mubai mentioned Lin Yi, it was undoubtedly a typical supporting role.

Now, the Lin Yi mentioned by Li Mubai is a childhood buddy of the protagonist He Liang. But for He Liang, who has always been outstanding, Lin Yi has taken the wrong path and become a street thug.

However, his greatest advantage is his unwavering loyalty to his buddy.

Readers with a little experience can probably imagine how many burdens Lin Yi has shouldered for He Liang, how many fights he has been in, and how many errands he has run. The image of a loyal buddy is vividly portrayed.

Unfortunately, his initial situation is described as quite miserable.

Because when this character was initially shaped, the author wanted him to be He Liang's lackey on one hand. On the other hand, the author also wanted to use him to provoke hatred and lead to a final showdown between the protagonist's team and the ultimate boss, Yun Guotao.

So, in the second half of the original drama, Lin Yi's father, Lin Zhenqing, passed away at Huahai Hospital.

The cause of death was a case of medical malpractice!

To be more precise, it was the unscrupulous doctors at Huahai Hospital who made small moves in the details of drug treatment in order to make as much black money as possible, deliberately delaying the progress of Lin Yi's father's illness!

Even though the protagonist He Liang discovered and stopped it in time, it was already too late as the illness had progressed to an irreversible stage, and there was nothing even a deity could do. Lin Yi's father soon passed away.

Now, a deep-seated grudge has been formed, and the next step is naturally to wait for the opportunity for revenge.

But it is clear that for Yun Guotao, a figure with great power and wealth, this is a trivial matter. With the intervention of the government regulatory committee, he only received a negligible compensation in the end!

According to the theme of the original novel "Evil Cannot Overpower Righteousness," this matter certainly won't end here.

In the end, after discussing with his buddy, He Liang decides to stay at Huahai Hospital to find evidence, while Lin Yi goes around petitioning for justice.

At this moment, Li Mubai's reminder makes Yun Guotao hesitate and say, "It seems there was such a thing, I remember a little thug who once incited a group of hooligans to cause trouble at the hospital and extort money. He was sternly taught a lesson by a fairy and threw some money to settle it. Why is this being brought up again now?"

...Please give flowers...

Due to the saying "the more lice, the less they itch," Yun Guotao has eaten countless blood-filled mantou buns. This kind of medical dispute is already commonplace. Huahai Group has a specialized legal department that deals with lawsuits. Whether in court or on the way to court, this department gathers a large number of elite scoundrels from the legal profession.

Therefore, a small thug like Lin Yi is not something Yun Guotao would care about. It's just that the situation was really intense back then, so he has some impression now.

Li Mubai sneered and said, "Uncle Yun, that kid always goes around boasting that he will seek revenge for his father from you. Aren't you worried at all?"

"Worried?" Oh, I see you're getting more and more abnormal!" Yun Guotao snorted indifferently, "If I cared about the jumps of these little grasshoppers, this business would have closed long ago. But now that you suddenly pay attention to this matter, is there another problem?"

Maybe there is, but I don't know the details yet. I just heard that this little grasshopper seems to have turned the situation around. As a prospective son-in-law, I thought I should remind you to be prepared." Li Mubai said so much and hung up the phone without paying attention to Yun Guotao's astonishment.
