The elder roared this time, causing Yi Zuojun to involuntarily shudder. It was as if the breath of his voice had hit him.
"The master is not home; he went out on errands." Yi Zuojun's tone was somewhat worried. Xiao Guli's condition was more abnormal than ever before. Lin Yao valued this son very much, and he didn't want anything to happen to the child.
"Where did he go?" the elder continued to roar. They were at a loss about Xiao Guli's condition. Alina had told them that only Lin Yao could calm him down. It was a psychological outburst, and this was the first time it had been so severe in several years. They had to find Lin Yao to solve the problem.
"They went to the military region. There's been a change at the military headquarters. Mr. and Elder Xia went to find someone, um... to find Elder Xiao."
After a slight hesitation, Yi Zuojun revealed Lin Yao's whereabouts. He didn't care about the presence of outsiders, as Xiao Guli's situation was truly worrying.
A gasp rang out from the middle-aged woman who had just stepped out of the Mercedes. She seemed to snap back to life, immediately shrinking back into the car and screaming, "Quick! Get to the military region! I know the way! We have to find Lin Yao!"

"Old man Xiao! If you don't agree, I'll kill myself!"
General Xia stood in the middle of the living room, his beard bristling and eyes wide. His left hand was on his hip, and his right hand was outstretched, pointing at General Xiao Li'ao, who was also standing next to the sofa. His bull-like eyes were full of imposing force, and anyone who didn't listen to him would mistakenly think that he was in control and was threatening the enemy with his imposing aura.
"Don't try to act tough in my house, you angry lion general!"
General Xiao Li'ao raised his eyebrows, his posture showing no sign of yielding. "Let me tell you! I won't fall for your tricks! Don't try to play these games with me!"
"Screw your tricks!"
General Xia was even more furious. He stomped his legs hard, and with a loud bang, a huge hole burst open in the exquisite black marble floor, with cracks spreading outwards from his right foot.
Not only was the marble slab he was standing on completely destroyed, but several other valuable marble slabs around him also cracked due to the sudden and intense pressure. The striking cracks appeared on the ground like a spider web, and the black and gold sand in the marble fragments splashed up by his right foot glittered under the bright lights, shining like tiny starlight in the hall.
Major General Xiao Deli, who had been standing to the side, swallowed hard and glanced at the ground that had been almost pierced through by General Xia. He could vaguely see the steel bars in the cement under the black gold marble, and even some black gaps were showing. It must have pierced through to the basement space.
"Uncle General, let's talk this out calmly. Don't be angry. Sit down and talk slowly."
As soon as Xiao Deli finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that his wife had spent a lot of money to lay the high-end floor tiles. How happy those days were! Now even those memories had been ruined by General Xia. He dared not say anything, as the general's tyranny had been weighing on his heart since he was a child. At this moment, he only hoped that he would not have too serious a conflict with his father.
General Angry Lion was renowned, and Xiao Deli knew him even better. To others, the idea of suicide might seem like absurd and funny, but Xiao Deli had long believed that if his father didn't handle things properly, the old man would definitely harm himself. Even if he didn't die, he would make Xiao Deli suffer greatly. The old man's reputation wasn't just for show; it was earned through real battles. Xiao Deli had no doubt about this.
"Sit on your balls!"
General Xia roared at Xiao Deli, his spittle flying over a meter and a half and landing right on the other man's face. Xiao Deli didn't even dare to wipe it off and could only bow his head and accept it.
"Your dad's brain is fried. Only a dad like that could produce a son like that. No wonder Zhuofei doesn't want you. You're all spineless!"
General Xia's insults included Xiao Li'ao and his son, a general and a major general, with extremely vicious tone and arrogant attitude. No man could tolerate it, and it immediately provoked a fierce counterattack.
"Old man Xia, you bastard!"
General Xiao, enraged, instinctively reached for his waist, only to find the butt of his rifle, which he had removed after returning home, was gone. Finding nothing, he pointed a glaring finger at General Xia, yelling, "You believe I'll shoot you?!"
"Go ahead and shoot! Go ahead and shoot if you dare! I'm going to be killed by you guys anyway, so I'll let you shoot me clean!"
Despite his burning anger, General Xia always adhered to his bottom line. He always acted with humility in the face of General Xiao Li'ao, who was of higher rank than him, and even when threatening him, he only used his own life as a bargaining chip. He certainly did not dare to disobey his superior.
As for swearing, the military has long since stopped taking it seriously. Besides, he didn't curse General Xiao Li'ao's parents; at most, he said a few ordinary angry words. He could curse Xiao Deli, that little bastard, however he wanted. General Xia had a good grasp of the limits in this regard; years of habit had made it instinctive.
I'll beat you to death!
General Xiao Li'ao was so angry that he had no other choice but to grab the ashtray, which was supposedly a fine piece of Scottish silver, from the coffee table in front of him and throw it at General Xia, who was so stubborn that he had no other way to deal with him.
Clang! Bang!
The television was destroyed; the shattered fragments left the entire living room in a mess. This wasn't due to General Xiao's poor eyesight or technique, but rather because General Xia casually flicked the silver ashtray, altering its trajectory. With his added force, the kinetic energy increased, smashing the 42-inch television in the living room to pieces.
"You think you're so great! If you're so capable, then go ahead and cast your vote against it at the military headquarters this afternoon!"
Despite his rage, General Xia remained clear-headed and did not forget the purpose of his trip. Even amidst the heated exchanges and physical altercations, he did not forget to persuade General Xiao to support his position. He was determined to convince the old man today, which was General Xia's goal. However, his method of persuasion was somewhat extreme, which made Lin Yao, who was standing to the side, purse his lips.
Lin Yao stood in the living room away from the coffee table, neither agitated nor participating in the persuasion. He was not good at this kind of situation and thought to himself that this was probably just his grandfather's style of doing things. He should not disturb him. If it really didn't work, he would go straight to the military conference room in the afternoon and try to get in even if he had to ask the chairman and the premier for permission. He could not let the resolution to administer gene therapy to the military on a large scale pass, as that would concern the lives of hundreds of millions of compatriots!
"None of your business!"
General Xiao Li'ao was also furious, his composure and calmness completely gone. "You're retired now, go do what you're supposed to do! Military affairs are none of your business!"
"Go to hell and get out of here!"
General Xia, his sore spot touched, quickly shifted his position, and with another powerful kick of his right leg, he punched a hole half a meter square in the floor, directly connecting the living room and the basement. He then leaped away, his anger slightly released, and his voice softened a bit, "Just because I'm retired doesn't mean I can't care about military matters! I was born a soldier, and I'll die a soldier! If you dare say that again, I'll beat you up!"
General Xia's direct threat for the first time did not faze General Xiao Li'ao at all. As if the floorboards that had just been punctured were not his own, he pointed at the other party and shouted loudly, "Get the hell out of here! It's none of your business to tell me what to do!"
