"Thank you, Old Man Xia!"
General Kang wasn't stupid. Seeing General Xia standing by the operating table, he immediately understood the situation. "Weicheng, let's go home. Tell that little bastard Kang Dikai to get back here right now! I'll beat him to a pulp this time!"
Amidst the extremely surprised gazes of the military doctors and nurses gathered outside the operating room, the group of people calmly emerged from the operating room and left without uttering a word.
"You must be Lin Yao. Thank you for saving this old man today. It's late, why don't you come to my house for something to eat?"
In the courtyard in front of the military region's general hospital, General Kang smiled and thanked Lin Yao, extending an invitation.
"Thank you, old commander. It's too late, I won't bother you any longer. Please get some rest."
Lin Yao refused, thinking to himself that he was joking and didn't want to have anything to do with him. Even if he had a good reputation, he still had two sons and grandsons with bad reputations.
General Kang could only say a few more polite words before leaving.
"Xiaolin, come sit at my place."
Lin Yao, who was just about to leave, received an invitation from General Xia. He had no choice but to obediently follow behind and get into the car, wondering if this counted as a son-in-law visiting the parents.
On the train, General Kang learned about some of the events that had occurred since his illness, and remained silent.
“Father, that Lin Yao actually asked for 100 million! This is simply deliberately making things difficult for our family. I’ll call Xia Luobing later and ask him to find Min Hong. Min Hong is in his territory.”
Major General Kang Weicheng was still reluctant to give up the opportunity to completely cure his father's illness. His face was full of indignation, and his tone was very sharp.
"Forget it, it's no use." General Kang sighed. "His money was worth that much anyway, a hundred million is not an exaggeration."
"Ahhhhhh!" Kang Weicheng's mouth dropped open in astonishment, and after a long while he murmured, "How is this possible?!"
well……
General Kang sighed inwardly and ignored his son, Kang Weicheng.
He was a hero for life, but he had a son who was only interested in scheming. He originally thought his grandson was quite good, and he always heard praise for him, but he never expected that his grandson would be even more despicable than his son!
General Kang felt utterly devastated. He pondered General Xia's suggestion and thought that perhaps he should really consider the future generations. Not only for the sake of the common people, but also for the sake of his incompetent son and good-for-nothing grandson, they should be able to live out their lives in a stable environment.
General Kang would not see the 100 million yuan consultation fee as unreasonable, nor did he want to explain it to his son.
Given Kang Weicheng's position and stature, it was impossible for him to hear certain confidential information. Min Hong's starting price for overseas medical treatment was ten million US dollars, easily exceeding one hundred million RMB. Lin Yao's asking price this time was not exaggerated, a fact that General Kang was well aware of.
The reason why so many high-ranking politicians and retired dignitaries in China did not directly seek medical treatment from Min Hong, but instead bothered a supermarket owner in Beijing, is that the consultation fees were too high, so high that even people with dishonest means would find it difficult to afford them. Moreover, Lin Yao's conditions for treating patients required a legitimate source of income, which is why no one bothered Lin Yao or Min Hong.
Similarly, it is said that Old Man Xia's in-law, Duan Hanyuan, the former governor of Jiangnan Province, completely cured his illness without spending a penny and is even healthier than any other elderly person.
This is probably fate. With Kang Weicheng in the family, and especially with that bastard Kang Dikai, I might as well just wait to die.
The dejected General Kang felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart, yet he couldn't vent it. He stared blankly at the neon lights flashing past the car window, feeling that the world was changing too fast. It was as if the joys and sorrows of his early days in the army had only happened yesterday. But in the blink of an eye, he had become an old man.

"Xiaolin, sit down, I have something to ask you."
General Xia sat steadily on the sofa. This genuine leather sofa was bought after he recovered from his illness in Chengdu. After recovering, he felt that the hardwood sofa he used to like was no longer satisfying.
"Go cook a bowl of bird's nest soup for Xiaolin; she's worked hard tonight."
Upon receiving her grandfather's instruction, Xia Yuwen exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth as if unsure if she had misheard. She stared at her grandfather with wide eyes, wanting to confirm further.
"Go on! What are you standing there for? Does dating make you stupid?"
General Xia's words were blunt and showed no respect for his granddaughter in front of outsiders, as if Lin Yao was no longer considered an outsider.
Xia Yuwen wasn't angry at her grandfather's scolding tone. She happily agreed and swayed away from the study to go downstairs to cook bird's nest.
"Grandpa, what is it that Wenwen can't hear? And why did you specially cook bird's nest for me?" Lin Yao smiled at General Xia, his tone devoid of tension.
After adjusting his mindset along the way, Lin Yao was no longer afraid of the old man in front of him.
Putting aside the fact that he dared to argue with this hot-tempered old man when he was weak and powerless in Chengdu, even as Xia Yuwen's boyfriend, he shouldn't have shown weakness in front of the old man.
Lin Yao had analyzed people like General Xia using his knowledge of psychology. He believed that the more humble you were, the more the other person would look down on you. It would be better to treat them with an equal tone and attitude, which might actually earn their respect.
Of course, this is on the premise that you must have the ability. A person who is all show and no substance will only suffer a great loss in front of the elderly. But does Lin Yao lack ability?
"Not bad! That little bastard isn't stupid." General Xia's sudden remark startled Lin Yao. He was both amused and exasperated.
Seeing Lin Yao's reaction, General Xia burst into laughter, feeling very relieved. He could finally use the title he had been holding in for so long to call Lin Yao, leaving Lin Yao helpless. This feeling was so damn satisfying!
Lin Yao sat upright, eyes focused on his nose, then his mind, like an old monk in deep meditation, almost as if he were sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
He simply ignored the insulting words. Since the old man always addressed him that way, it now sounded somewhat intimate, so he couldn't afford to mind or get angry.
"Little guy, what's your relationship with the Yi family in Yanji?"
General Xia stopped joking, his expression instantly turned serious, and his tone became very formal.
