Luo Jimin slowly withdrew his movement, frowning without speaking.
The promise of a Heavenly-level expert is extremely precious and highly valued by any aristocratic family. However, Luo Jimin did not react at this moment, nor did he even consider this aspect. He was just a little troubled.
As someone who came from the military, Luo Jimin had an indelible affection for the army and soldiers. Although he was hostile to the actions of Liu Daoqi, an old soldier he didn't know, he didn't take it too seriously and didn't really hold a grudge against the old soldier. He only snapped and confronted him because his son had been abused.
But now that things are out in the open, Luo Jimin is in a difficult position.
Even a small child could tell that his son Lin Yao's condition was very bad. His face was covered in blood, his smile was forced, and his eyes and voice couldn't hide his exhaustion. All of this made Luo Jimin, as a father, very distressed. It is said that a son is the apple of his mother's eye, but a father's love is equally deep in his bones. He really didn't want his son to save people at this moment, because it was clear that this was not something Lin Yao was capable of doing in his current state.
But... this involves two lives! How can you bear to watch two living soldiers die in front of you?
Luo Jimin couldn't do it. But he also didn't want his son Lin Yao to suffer any harm because of it, so he could only remain silent, frowning as he stood in front of Liu Daoqi, as steady as a stone statue.
"Please..."
Liu Daoqi's voice became somewhat low, no longer displaying the previous arrogance and domineering manner.
He was not in a position to rank here, whether in terms of strength or influence. After calming down for about ten seconds, he realized the relationship between the couple who had attacked him and the "angel." Their tense expressions and their desperate protection were something that no one but his parents could do.
Therefore, Liu Daoqi could only plead, begging the "angel's" parents to speak on his behalf, so that his two closest relatives in the world could be spared their lives and their powers.
Lin Hongmei gently hugged her son Lin Yao's head, tears streaming down her face.
Upon suddenly hearing from Ge Yong in Chengdu that Lin Yao had gone into seclusion, she, as a mother, felt an instinctive fear. The palpitation made her disregard whether she should interfere with the work and life of her subordinates. She painstakingly found Ge Yong, who was hiding in the security team's secret server room, and then forced him to reveal the truth.
After learning the truth, Lin Hongmei followed her husband Luo Jimin to Yanji. They hadn't even prepared enough warm clothes, and were stopped in the outer perimeter of Yanji City. They anxiously waited for the opportunity to enter Yanji to see their son, because the Yi family members who were also waiting said that forcing their way in was absolutely impossible, as many Heavenly-level experts were on guard.
When the Yi family members were finally allowed to enter Yanji City, the couple, being ordinary citizens, were still not permitted to accompany them. Yi Dao also strongly advised them to stay outside the city and wait, because he believed that Lin Yao would not be in any danger. Lin Hongmei and her husband Luo Jimin could only helplessly continue to wait for an opportunity.
It wasn't until the restricted area suddenly descended into chaos that Lin Hongmei and her husband took advantage of the confusion to activate their "human nuclear force," recklessly rushing into the defense perimeter. They then ran to Yanji City on foot, where they impersonated martial arts masters to obtain information about the location of Yijia Town from the officers and soldiers of the indoor security force. Only then did they manage to arrive just in time after Lin Yao had finished all his work, witnessing Liu Daoqi's torment of Lin Yao.
Although Lin Yao said he was fine, in Lin Hongmei's heart he would always be a pitiful child. Seeing Lin Yao's miserable state in the wheelchair, she could no longer hold back her grief and felt a surge of hatred towards those who had hurt Lin Yao.
"Elder Yi of the Yi family..."
Pei Tianzong received a hint from the young general and walked to the wheelchair of the Grand Elder Yi Potian with a stiff upper lip. He opened his mouth but did not know how to continue.
"snort!"
The First Elder, Yi Potian, twisted his neck, refusing to even look at Pei Tianzong, his expression extremely angry.
In truth, Yi Potian wasn't truly that angry. He only felt sorrow and helplessness at the lack of assistance from the elders of the powerful families, including Pei Tianzong, and didn't harbor much personal hatred towards them. This was because all powerful families were obligated to serve the nation and its people—a principle that all families, including the Yi family, had to adhere to. Therefore, he could understand the actions of Pei Tianzong and the others.
But when Pei Tianzong spoke, Yi Potian knew what he was talking about before he even finished. He was simply asking Pei Tianzong to ask Lin Yao to help treat the two "enforcers" from the military. But according to Yi Zuojun's private report, Lin Yao was in much worse condition than he was. He had even fainted twice while refining medicine in the hall, and each time Yi Zuojun had to frantically wake him up.
If Lin Yao were to intervene again, wouldn't that only make matters worse? Besides, the Yi family has no connection with the military's top-level "enforcers." Now that the major issue of resolving the epidemic has been settled, Yi Potian certainly knows which is more important, Lin Yao or the two injured "enforcers."
Asking him to ask Lin Yao for help? That's easier than stabbing him in the back!
"We must prioritize the overall situation!"
Pei Tianzong emphasized his words, believing that Yi Potian was acting out of personal emotion and disregarding the lives of the two "enforcers" from the military.
"Elder Pei, you can't talk like that!"
Sun Woxing frowned as he looked at Pei Tianzong. He knew Lin Yao better and had even obtained information from the astute Yi Zuojun that Lin Yao was in dire straits and not in a position to help. It was obvious at a glance who was more important in life: a person with superb medical skills and exceptional personal strength, or two naive military "enforcers."
Although he was also reluctant to see the two "enforcers" from the military perish, Sun Woxing was more concerned about Lin Yao's safety. Whether from the perspective of the entire country or from the perspective of the aristocratic family's own interests, Lin Yao was more important. At this moment, he really couldn't let Lin Yao take action to save people.
Upon hearing Sun Woxing's unusually stern tone, Pei Tianzong was startled, realizing he must have made a mistake somewhere and shouldn't have said those words to Yi Potian. Although he didn't know Lin Yao very well, he had been close friends with Sun Woxing for decades and knew that Sun Woxing must have a reason for speaking like that, so he immediately apologized to Yi Potian.
"I'm sorry, Elder Yi."
Yi Potian turned back and glanced at Pei Tianzong, his eyes filled with helplessness. He didn't say anything, but just let out a long sigh.
Several military jeeps suddenly sped up and braked sharply beside the group, making a teeth-grinding screech.
All the car doors opened before the jeep had come to a complete stop, and as soon as the vehicle came to a stop, a large group of people rushed out. The lieutenant general who was in charge of the outer perimeter security zone appeared in front of everyone, along with many other soldiers. One petite figure wearing a pink down jacket was particularly eye-catching.
Xia Yuwen! She actually arrived in Yanji too!
The young general quickly ran to the lieutenant general's side, gave a hasty military salute, and quickly reported the situation, which made the lieutenant general frown. Then he strode over to the Grand Elder Yi Potian.
"Elder Yi, please cooperate. This is an order I gave. Please do not take your anger out on the soldiers who are following orders! Save people first. You can talk to me about anything else after you have saved them!"
The First Elder, Yi Potian, instantly understood what was going on. It turned out the responsibility for Lin Yao's failure to intervene had fallen on the Yi family. The young general who had been in charge of affairs had actually reported the situation this way. Thinking of this, Yi Potian didn't directly respond to the lieutenant general's reprimand, but instead glared coldly at the young general, uttering a single sentence, "The Yi family will remember you!"
The young general shuddered, involuntarily shifting his body slightly behind the lieutenant general, but dared not utter a word of rebuttal. What he had seen and heard that day had overturned all his understanding; as a mere mortal, he was utterly powerless against ancient martial artists with such great abilities. Knowing that saying less would be the best course of action, he wisely remained silent.
"General Tian, that's not the case. Lin Yao himself was the most seriously injured, and he even dealt with the epidemic while injured. You have no right to order him to save more people!"
Sun Woxing stood in front of Yi Potian with a stern expression. "Besides, Lin Yao is merely a guest elder of the Yi family. The Yi family has no right to order him to do anything. You need to figure out a way yourself. Don't use rules and regulations to suppress people from aristocratic families. You don't have that authority!"
At this point, Pei Tianzong and Hong Qiuyi also shifted their feet slightly, subtly indicating that they were on the side of Sun Woxing and Yi Potian. The complex relationship between the aristocratic families and the military could have serious consequences if not handled properly. Although it was the aristocratic families' responsibility to serve the country and cooperate with the military, Tanaka's blunt rebuke was a slap in the face to all the aristocratic families. Therefore, even the Hong family's elder stood on this side to support the Yi family.
After a moment's hesitation, Tanaka suppressed his anger and apologized, "I'm sorry, perhaps General Qi didn't explain clearly. Now, the lives of these two soldiers are hanging by a thread. Please help them receive treatment."
As the representative of all the aristocratic families, Pei Tianzong could only express his opinion at this moment. Looking at Tanaka's still gloomy face, he slowly said, "The guest elders have an unparalleled status in all the aristocratic families. No one can order them to do anything. General Tian, you will have to handle this matter yourself. We cannot help you."
