Xiao Cao happily agreed and immediately acted according to the plan they had previously discussed.
※※※※
An elderly man was playing chess at a stone table in the park of his residential area, looking quite pleased with himself. Although he was terrible at chess, he always managed to beat others. He knew that people were letting him win because of his status, but he was still very happy.
Just as he picked up a rook to take down his opponent's pawn, a sudden wave of angina caused him to lose all his strength, his vision went black, and he collapsed onto the chessboard.
Another elderly man was receiving guests from Zhejiang at his home. These people had come to ask him for help, hoping to use his connections to advance their positions. After some back and forth, the guests finally revealed their trump card: that their grandson's company would have smooth sailing in the local area. Just as he was feeling smug, he suddenly felt chest tightness and couldn't breathe. He collapsed straight to the ground, falling onto the Iranian carpet, which was said to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, causing a panic among the guests.
The same thing happened in different corners of the city. At a meeting of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Planning and Economic Affairs, two attendees suddenly foamed at the mouth. One fell backward onto the back of his chair, and the other collapsed onto the conference table, splashing tea all over the room.
Taxation, industry and commerce, economic and trade commission, public security, procuratorate and court, etc., almost simultaneously experienced situations. One or two or three people with emergencies alarmed 120, which surprised the 120 emergency center. They found that so many people from functional departments and some people who were under close monitoring were in critical condition at the same time.
The policewoman who had just left to conduct the questioning suddenly slipped on a puddle on her way to the station chief's office. She fell straight backward and landed on the ground with a thud amidst her colleagues' exclamations, remaining motionless. This caused chaos throughout the entire police station.
The police chief, who rushed out of the office to inquire about the incident, tripped over the copper strip inlaid at the very edge of the wooden floor and fell down the corridor like a dog pouncing on its prey. What should have been a minor fall turned into a serious injury for the chief, breaking his nose and covering his entire face in blood. Most strangely, he just fell straight out and passed out, leaving the Nandamen Police Station without its leader and in increasing chaos.
The whole world was thrown into chaos at this moment...

What kind of young man is he?
He was humble, low-key, and unpretentious. He was extremely frugal in his personal life, and so was his entire family.
Despite possessing extraordinary abilities, he does not seek fame or status for himself or his family. Even when making money, he chooses to do so by acquiring wealthy individuals abroad and then donating the money he earns back to the domestic philanthropic cause.
A young man who was originally a perfect example of almost every virtue has now uttered such shocking and audacious words in this moment and in such a setting, shattering all my previous impressions and evaluations of him.
This is a blatant threat!
This is a direct, no-holds-barred struggle against everyone!
The Prime Minister felt a great headache. Even though his health had been improved by Lin Yao's miraculous pills a few days ago, he could not withstand such a sudden and drastic change in condition.
Rubbing his temples, the Prime Minister's voice sounded disappointed. "Xiao Lin, I don't care whether 'Heavenly Punishment' has maintained contact with you and Min Hong, nor do I care what their relationship is with you. Right now, there are 146 living patients lying unconscious in the hospital, who could die at any moment."
"Please treat them. I don't expect you to cure them completely, but at least you should take them out of danger."
The Premier looked at Lin Yao with hopeful eyes. Although he wasn't entirely clear on ancient martial arts and some matters within the military, he knew about the power levels of Human, Earth, and Heaven. He had even personally witnessed a Heaven-level master demonstrate his strength—a living person flying into the air without any external force, like a legendary immortal.
Since Lin Yao had just said that he was not afraid of top-level experts, the Premier immediately elevated his status to an unprecedented level in his mind.
For top experts, the only approach is to appease and win them over; force must not be used. This is a principle passed down from the military.
The Prime Minister understands these things and thinks this principle is a matter of course, because someone who is not afraid of bullets or even missiles would be crazy to even consider using force to restrain someone.
"That's none of my business."
Lin Yao's words almost choked the Premier, who quickly put down his teacup. He didn't want to choke on his tea and embarrass himself, even though he did need a drink to calm himself down.
“Premier, we had an agreement beforehand. The scope of people I would treat and regulate their health was also determined long ago. Although I felt quite sad to hear that more than a hundred comrades had been admitted to the hospital, that is not a reason for me to help them.”
"My abilities are limited. Both my internal energy and the expensive medicines I have are limited. It doesn't make sense to use them on them like this. If the whole country were full of critically ill patients, even those poor children would be more valuable than these elderly people, right?"
Lin Yao sensed the Premier's darkening expression and quickly added, "Of course, this value is just my personal opinion. I'm thinking that perhaps some of those children will make outstanding contributions in the future. At least they can serve society for several more decades."
"By the way, my minimum fee for treating foreigners is ten million US dollars. If you want me to help them, who will pay for that nearly two billion US dollars?"
With a choking sound, the Premier finally choked on his own saliva, bent over and coughed repeatedly, his face turning red, but he felt even more defeated.
That Lin Yao! Ever since he made things clear, he's become a completely different person, completely impervious to reason. I used to think he and the whole Minhong were as fragile as bean sprouts, and I was always worried that they would break.
It turns out I was worrying for nothing all this time!
We can't resort to force. Even following the rules won't get Lin Yao to take action. He's already said that even for his own sake or the country's sake, he still has to pay the two billion US dollar bill.
But are those people worth two billion US dollars?
The Premier stopped thinking about these issues and decided to let things take their course. In any case, he had already met with Lin Yao and done what he needed to say and express, which could be considered as showing a positive attitude.
Whether those people live or die is up to their own fate. The law of cause and effect is no longer something mortals can interfere with…
Lin Yao left in a hurry, without wasting a second, because some foreign friends at the Yangwei Hotel were eagerly waiting for him.
At that moment, Lin Yao felt that the foreigners were kind and approachable, and the purely monetary relationship made him feel comfortable. So he mentally bestowed upon them the cheap title of "friends" that cost no money.
