Ge Yong was a tough soldier who never showed any mercy to the enemy. He agreed with Lin Yao's statement. His daughter had once been a critically ill patient, and he understood the feelings of a patient's family member. He hated even more those who manufactured and sold counterfeit goods, which could affect the treatment of many patients and even take their lives.
Although he didn't speak, Ge Yong wished he could stretch out all four limbs to support Lin Yao's decision. As for killing a few people, what did it matter?
“Sir, let Yi Gong handle this later. You don’t need to do it yourself. Don’t dirty your hands.” Elder Yi Potian said solemnly, which startled Lin Yao. He hadn’t expected Yi Potian to take on this task.
The ideas of the First Elder Yi Potian and Yi Gong were even simpler. According to their code of conduct, anyone who opposed the Yi family should be severely punished, and anyone who threatened the safety of the Yi family or caused significant impact should die. There was no need for any specific investigation or research, let alone evidence. The only thing that influenced the decision was the other party's behavior and attitude.
Lin Yao is a respected elder of the Yi family. His words and actions are the Yi family's business. As long as Lin Yao's killings do not cause major changes in the social situation or affect the stability of the country, they will absolutely support him and are even willing to be at the forefront. This is because the Yi family has always been a family dedicated to serving the country with utmost loyalty; this is their ancestral precept and their principle of conduct.
Of course, counterfeit medicine is harmful to people. In the eyes of the Yi family elders, such behavior that endangers society is deserving of death. However, according to the Yi family's consistent code of conduct, they do not get involved in this area. Therefore, they only feel hatred and disgust, and do not personally participate in the fight against counterfeit medicine.
Now that Lin Yao has spoken, Elder Yi Potian and Yi Gong are preoccupied with how to kill the person themselves while ensuring Lin Yao's safety, so that Lin Yao's personal involvement is both an attitude and a form of protection.
"No need. I'll personally take the lives of these trash. You can just watch." Lin Yao calmly rejected Elder Yi Potian's suggestion, his tone still cold, but his inner violence was even greater.
After a three-and-a-half-hour drive, the Santana 2000 with a fake license plate entered Nanchong City without attracting any attention. This second-hand car, purchased through a clandestine mechanism set up by Zhiying, would not attract anyone's interest, either because of its appearance or the fake license plate.
They found a private hotel, and after making a temporary stop on the national highway, the four people, disguised by Lin Yao, got out of the car and checked in, waiting for nightfall.
This was the first time Ge Yong had ever witnessed the ability to completely transform one's appearance. This ability to disguise oneself without relying on drugs or glue, and to even directly alter muscle and skin tissue to the point of making one unrecognizable, shocked Ge Yong.
In just one minute, he became unrecognizable to himself. The only way he did this was by having Lin Yao touch his face and neck. The exposed parts of his hands were also altered. Ge Yong even noticed that his fingerprints had changed. Such incredible ability shocked Ge Yong and made him even more convinced that his brother would accomplish something extraordinary in the future.
Ge Yong never doubted Lin Yao's character, which made him even more determined to follow Lin Yao and fight alongside Min Hong. He wanted to see how high he could rise and how far he could go in the future.
Wanjingtai Villa District is the highest residential area in Nanchong City. Not only does it have a high elevation that overlooks the city, but its consistently high prices also reflect its high status.
The scenery was beautiful, with lush greenery and well-planned, not too densely packed villas. This made it convenient for the three people traveling at night, even though they didn't need such an environment to easily reach their destination.
Ge Yong didn't come because Lin Yao didn't plan to drive on this trip. Although he was violent and impulsive, this emotion didn't make him lose his mind. Relying entirely on his own abilities to travel quickly without driving was the best solution. Therefore, Ge Yong, who lacked combat skills, was excluded. However, he received a guarantee from Lin Yao that he would help him improve his strength at the right time. So, he calmed down his resentment and imagined how much his abilities would improve in the future in his room.
Cao Jin was in high spirits. The two children were already asleep, and he was preparing to have a passionate and unrestrained encounter with his beautiful second wife in the living room.
After five years of selling counterfeit drugs, the 41-year-old man finally reached a small peak in his career, which was the real reason he was so happy.
Minhong Pharmaceutical's reputation was indeed impressive. The medicine, which retailed for only five yuan a box, was almost sold out at any time. He was making so much money that his hands were sore from counting it. His purchase price was only one yuan, and the selling price was two yuan and fifty cents, which made him huge profits. In just half a month, he earned more than two million yuan. This was more profitable than selling any other counterfeit medicine. The reason was the volume. Even Guangyuan City in the surrounding area got its products from his Nanfa Pharmaceutical Company. This made him so happy that his adrenaline was pumping and his lower body was also very excited.
"It seems I need to develop a few more cities. Old Zhang in Xindu is happy to let me expand sales, which reduces his risk. I'll call him again tomorrow to negotiate a lower price. With my sales volume so high now, he'll have to give me some more discounts." Thinking about the next day, Cao Jin pulled his wife, who was watching TV, into his arms and reached out to touch her breasts. His other hand slipped down to her lower body; he couldn't hold back any longer.
Suddenly, Cao Jin shuddered, and his lustful desire quickly extinguished.
A wave of oppressive power, which made one's soul tremble, filled the entire living room. This feeling made Cao Jin feel as if he were in an ice cave, and his whole body began to tremble.
When he noticed his wife looking behind him with intense fear, he struggled to turn his stiff neck and saw three terrifying people.
Three middle-aged men stood in his living room, only two meters away from him. The indifference on their faces and the coldness in their eyes terrified Cao Jin, making him feel as uncomfortable as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake.
"The three of you, please make any requests you may have, and I, Cao Jin, will try my best to fulfill them."
Having spent a few years navigating the underworld, Cao Jin was quite familiar with and had even encountered people who committed burglaries, robberies, and even murder. He swallowed hard, his mind racing as he tried to recall who he might have recently offended, but couldn't find the answer.
"The request is simple: I want your and your wife dead," Lin Yao said, his voice obviously disguised. He was worried about surveillance equipment in the room; many wealthy people these days like to do this, even recording their lewd acts as souvenirs.
"Why...why?" Cao Jin believed Lin Yao's words immediately. This ruthlessness was not feigned, but a sinister ruthlessness from the bottom of his heart. He did not think the other party was joking.
"I'll give you anything you want, as long as it's within my power." After stammering out these words, Cao Jin felt all the strength in his body disappear. His wife in front of him collapsed onto the sofa, not even screaming. The fear these people instilled was so overwhelming that it left no room for resistance or even a sliver of hope.
Aura, it turns out, really does exist! This was the only thing Cao Jin was thinking about while his mind was wandering.
“You sell counterfeit medicine, so we specially went to your warehouse to bring you some counterfeit medicine for you and your husband to take.” Lin Yao’s voice was calm, but the ruthlessness was undiminished. “No doubt about it, you will definitely die. But before you die, tell me which of your downstream distributors knew that these were counterfeit medicines, and which of them did not know the specifics but just bought from you because it was cheap.”
"Spare me..." Cao Jin forced out two words again, large beads of sweat sliding down his forehead, his whole body was soaked in sweat. At this moment, he no longer doubted that he would die, and for the first time, he felt regret for selling fake medicine.
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill your whole family. Anyway, your child is pregnant, and he'll only be a menace if he stays in the world." Lin Yao threatened, but he didn't actually plan to kill the child. These words were just to negotiate. He had no patience to waste with Cao Jin.
“Apart from the Guang’an pharmaceutical merchant who just bought the goods from Nanfa, everyone else knows that they are selling fake medicine.” Cao Jin answered honestly, thinking that since the other party could let his child go, they could definitely let him go as well, as long as the conditions were right. “Brother, I will give you anything you want, just let us go.”
Cao Jin's wife finally mustered up a tremendous amount of courage; extreme fear turned into fearlessness, and she screamed.
"ah!"
The moment the sound left his mouth, a figure flashed by, and the scream abruptly stopped. Lin Yao stepped forward and severed the vocal cord control nerves of Cao Jin's wife, rendering her unable to utter a sound.
Next, Lin Yao forcibly poured the concentrated essence of the fake medicine into the mouths of Cao Jin and his wife using his medical true qi, and then used his medical true qi to help them digest and absorb it. Before long, the two of them foamed at the mouth and collapsed on the floor in front of the sofa, trembling all over.
"Let's go." Lin Yao glanced coldly at the two people on the ground, thinking that since the culprit was dead, the two children could continue to enjoy the wealth brought by their parents. He hoped that they would never follow in their parents' footsteps in this life.
Driving through the night to various counties, Lin Yao made his moves under different guises and identities over two days. Ge Yong also kept changing his license plates to avoid the surveillance cameras at highway toll stations. Depending on their different purchases, all the pharmacy and clinic owners who sold counterfeit drugs either died or were maimed, with the least severe cases only able to maintain their ability to take care of themselves.
After learning that several of the owners of the counterfeit drug stores she had investigated had experienced unusual situations, Ding Ruonv reported to the Minhong headquarters and then returned to Chengdu as required.
There was no need to continue the investigation; evil had been punished, even though he had a lingering doubt.
"This may have been done by Minhong's people."
