Before a response could be received, General Xiao continued, "By the way, Xiao Lin, the content of your report was too far-fetched. It had no persuasive power at all, which is why the military disagreed with your opinion this time. We only look at the results. Only the drugs we get our hands on are trustworthy. Unless you also get the drugs, we will have no choice but to choose 'Allison'."
"General Xiao, my grandfather and I came here today hoping you could put in a good word for us. I really didn't exaggerate or fabricate anything in that report; we just couldn't get any evidence. Didn't the military notice that the soldiers who were vaccinated were behaving very abnormally?"
Lin Yao smiled, trying to suppress the discomfort of being misunderstood. He just wanted to persuade this third person in the military. According to General Xia, as long as this general in front of him objected, the military would never be able to reach a decision to continue administering the "gene drugs".
"Xiao Lin, I now know why you came here today. I also have no doubt about your attitude towards this matter, because everything you and your family have done is for the people of this country."
General Xiao stared intently into Lin Yao's eyes. "But everything is based on science and evidence. You're just making baseless accusations that someone else's gene therapy is a virus, without providing any virus samples or evidence. How can anyone believe that?"
"Furthermore, regarding the abnormal reactions you mentioned after vaccination, they've already said that even smallpox vaccination can cause emotional and physical abnormalities for a period of time, let alone gene therapy drugs that can continuously enhance human potential. So it doesn't make sense. I can't just oppose the military's use of gene therapy drugs because of your seemingly inexplicable report, can I? Which of the surrounding countries isn't heavily involved in vaccination? Even for national security reasons, we have no choice but to continue vaccination unless you give us that 'human nuclear power' drug, then we won't consider continuing vaccination."
Lin Yao could only manage a bitter smile after hearing this. Where did he get the evidence? Where did he get so much 'human nuclear power'? Was he just supposed to watch tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers die from being vaccinated with the "Morning Mist" virus?
This military decision is extremely serious, even to the point of shaking the very foundation of the army. Because neighboring countries such as Japan, South Korea, India, and even Vietnam, Laos, and other countries are actively getting vaccinated, this decision is intended to issue a mandatory order to all military regions to participate. Even the four major military regions controlled by the Pei, Sun, and Yi families cannot be spared, which is what Lin Yao is most worried about.
"Grandpa Xiao".
Lin Yao changed his form of address, "Please believe me, these soldiers who have been vaccinated have only two outcomes: either they become enemies of the country, or they become dead. Of course, it is possible that they will become enemies of the country first and then become dead, because they are destined to be sacrifices for some magical artifact to enhance its strength."
"Xiao Lin, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying, let alone how to persuade those people in the military."
General Xiao stood up from the sofa, gesturing to see the guest out. "How about this, if you find any evidence, even the smallest bit, send it to me immediately. I'll put in a good word for you then, is that alright?"
Speak up for me?
Lin Yao was puzzled, thinking to himself that this was not his business. It was clearly a matter of the safety of the entire country and a large number of soldiers. Even if he stopped the resolution from passing, he would not get any benefit. What did he mean by speaking up for him?
After thinking it over, Lin Yao felt somewhat disheartened. This sentence was clearly General Xiao's way of expressing his refusal. In fact, he and others in the military had always thought that he was deliberately trying to undermine his competitors in order to monopolize the army's medicines and reap huge benefits in the future.
This is so boring!
Lin Yao stood up from the sofa without even saying goodbye. He let General Xia say goodbye to the other party and left the small villa in the military compound. For a moment, he felt that the Beijing night sky was dark and oppressive, and his future was uncertain.

"Xiaolin, sit down."
General Xia Luobing wore long-sleeved military uniform even at home. Fortunately, the air conditioning in the room was working well; otherwise, he would probably have developed heat rash in such a hot summer.
"General Xia, hello!"
Lin Yao was a little nervous. Although he had completed the process of becoming a son-in-law three years ago, he had only met his future father-in-law a few times. Even with Xia Yuwen's connection to him, he was still a bit of a young man with a sense of restraint.
"Boy, you call me General Xia? There are two generals here, who are you calling?"
General Xia stood to the side, puffing out his beard and glaring fiercely, but his tone was completely different from his angry outburst at Lin Yao's first meeting. Instead, there was a strong sense of doting affection in his voice, showing how extremely satisfied he was with Lin Yao as his grandson-in-law.
"Oh, Grandpa, my name is Uncle."
Lin Yao immediately realized what was happening, quickly changed his tune, and smiled at General Xia Luobing again. The tension was completely dispelled by the old general's teasing and interruption.
"Yes, Xiao Lin, please sit down." A smile appeared on Xia Luobing's stern face as he nodded in acknowledgment of the uncle's address.
"Come, Elder. Please take a seat."
General Xia perfectly embodied the role of the host, leading Elder Yi Potian, who had been standing behind Lin Yao, to sit down on the sofa. He then took the tea handed to him by Lieutenant Colonel Cheng De and personally placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Even a master of the highest level deserves the utmost respect, and this still applies even though Yi Potian is currently Lin Yao's bodyguard.
Xia Luobing nodded to Elder Yi Potian as a greeting, then turned to look at Lin Yao with a very serious expression.
"Xiao Lin, I came to Beijing on official business this time, and my purpose is to see you. You've been in Chengdu for so long and we haven't had a chance to meet. We can't go on like this."
Lin Yao was taken aback, realizing that his future father-in-law had something important to tell him. He immediately sat up straight and nodded in agreement, "Uncle, please speak."
"I've heard about what's happened recently, and I know a bit about it. You're in a very awkward situation right now..."
General Xia Luobing sighed, his furrowed brows etching deep lines into his chiseled face, indicating his seriousness. "Young man, sometimes you act without thinking, but given your and your family's attitude, this is the only way..."
After a long silence, Xia Luobing continued, "Do you know why this situation has arisen? Including you, including Minhong Pharmaceutical, the treatment you receive is extremely disproportionate to your abilities and contributions. What is the reason for this?"
Lin Yao shook his head, his eyes fixed intently on Xia Luobing's face. "Uncle, I don't know."
"This is an inevitable result. This conflict and contradiction is irreconcilable. It's already good now. If you hadn't shown your strong personal strength, and there were even rumors that you could surpass the military's 'law enforcers' on your own, and if your parents hadn't occasionally shown the ability to contend with the 'law enforcers' in Yanji, the result would be very different now. Not to mention Minhong, even you would not be able to marry my Wenwen, because we would never agree to our daughter marrying someone who is under house arrest."
General Xia Luobing's words were somewhat nonsensical, but Lin Yao understood them, as did the other two people in the room. He was referring to Lin Yao's current situation, which also included the situation of Minhong Pharmaceutical.
“A person with great abilities. And these abilities are related to the national economy and people’s livelihood. They would never allow someone like you to act so recklessly. It is only because you are extremely powerful and have the most advanced medical skills that you have been able to live a peaceful and happy life until now.”
"This capability must be in the hands of the state. That's the rule. Even if it's not entirely under the state's control, it must be ready to be dispatched by the higher authorities at any time. Only in this way can we live in peace."
"But what about you?" General Xia Luobing's eyes widened, his eyebrows raised, and the sudden aura he exuded made Lin Yao involuntarily tremble. He subconsciously recovered. "You rely on your subordinates' skills, your ability to produce medicines that others can't, and your ability to help the government deal with sudden epidemics, so you act lawlessly and do whatever you want. You don't even care about the basic principle of obedience. You also broke your promise to take care of the health of the national leaders, and even took back the pills that were sent out without authorization. Do you know how serious the consequences of this behavior are?"
Lin Yao's eyes widened in shock. He thought to himself that he had always acted in accordance with the principle of what was best for the people, and he had a clear conscience. So how could he have become lawless?
