"You know nothing! So many countries have developed super-gene warriors. The countries around us are already ahead of us. If we don't make plans, do you want us to become traitors to our nation and people?!"
General Xiao Li'ao became more and more agitated as he spoke, "What do you know about how complicated the world situation is! You're all retired, and all you know how to do is act tough with me. If you can come up with a plan to help our army deal with those modified soldiers, then I'll listen to you. If you can't, then get the hell out of here!"
"You're the one who knows anything about eggs!"
General Xia walked to the coffee table, his anger flaring, and kicked it into pieces. However, he instinctively controlled his strength, ensuring the shards avoided General Xiao Li'ao's body, as if the latter had simply been lucky to escape the attack. "Didn't you hear me say those super-gene warriors are 'poisonous people'? They're doomed, and their deaths will drag down millions of innocent comrades and civilians. Have you lost your mind? Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Evidence! I need evidence! Don't just make baseless accusations!" General Xiao Li'ao's tone softened somewhat. He remembered that everything General Xia had done was for the country and the army, and his anger immediately subsided.
"As long as you agree to the experiment, I'll give you the evidence, and I'll even show you right in front of you how those so-called 'super gene warriors' turn into 'poisonous people,' and then into moldy, dried-up corpses."
General Xia immediately gained momentum, and only now did he get into the rhythm he wanted since he entered the room. Only by talking about these things could he have the confidence. Otherwise, as a retired general, he would at most vent his frustrations here, which would not help with the afternoon's events.
Although research on "poisonous people" has not yet made a major breakthrough, General Xia knew that the simplest way to verify it was to use an extremely large dose of "norepinephrine" to stimulate a rapid physical reaction in the "poisonous person," thus turning him into a real, mummified corpse covered in mycelium.
"Experiments are absolutely forbidden! They've been explicitly prohibited for a long time!"
General Xiao found this Angry Lion General to be unprecedentedly troublesome, displaying a rather unreasonable attitude. The experiment was condemned worldwide, and as a high-ranking military official, he would absolutely not approve such a thing.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" General Xia protested. "Are you suggesting we let even more people die because of your decisions?!"
"Damn it! Who said we wanted them to die? Are all the scientists in the world just for show, and only you know the truth?"
General Xiao Li'ao's anger, which he had just suppressed, suddenly flared up again. He looked down at the shards at his feet and realized that nothing could affect the stubborn old man, so he had no choice but to give up his plan to throw something at him. His nostrils flared as he panted heavily.
Seeing the conflict between the two elderly people escalate again, Xiao Deli was very anxious. Seeing Lin Yao's calm and collected appearance, he was also angry. He was still angry that his wife had shown affection to this pretty boy last time, and now he was being disgusted by him again. He wished he could grab something and hit him.
Of course, Xiao Deli was only thinking about it. He knew that Lin Yao's fighting skills were incomparable to his own, but he couldn't stop himself from glaring at Lin Yao with murderous eyes. He thought to himself that this house had been ruined by this grandfather and grandson, and it would be uninhabitable for a long time if they didn't move.
Just then, the door slammed shut with a loud bang, accompanied by a gust of air and an exaggerated thud as something heavy fell to the ground. The attention of the three angry men in the room was drawn to what they saw: a huge security door had crashed into the center of the living room, turning everything in its path to dust, as if it had been blown up by a bomb. Xiao Deli mistakenly thought he was at the scene of an anti-terrorism operation, not in his own home.
"Sir, Lili is in trouble! You need to come quickly!"
The First Elder's voice rang out first, causing the usually calm Lin Yao to tense up instantly. His figure vanished in an instant, reappearing at the doorway.

"Daddy, Daddy..."
Little Guli finally stopped trembling. He threw himself into Lin Yao's arms and burst into tears, burying his head in Lin Yao's chest like an ostrich in distress, too ashamed to face anyone.
"Lili, don't be afraid, Daddy's here."
Lin Yao was quickly informed of the matter by the Grand Elder Yi Potian through "sound transmission". He was also surprised that Gu Zhuofei, whom he had met twice, was actually Xiao Guli's biological mother. However, he did not consider these things at the moment. It was more important to comfort the child first. He would deal with the rest after Xiao Guli recovered.
Even if the mother and son are not allowed to recognize each other, it is necessary to ensure that Xiao Guli is not seriously affected. Although Xiao Guli's mental illness has not flared up much in the past five years, the sudden outbreak of his condition is obviously very serious. If not handled properly, it may leave sequelae. Lin Yao certainly cannot let such a thing happen.
"Sister Zhuofei, you can't acknowledge Lili now, even if he really is your son. Let's wait until the situation stabilizes."
Upon hearing the elder's words, Lin Yao immediately believed Gu Zhuofei's judgment, and some of his previous doubts were resolved. However, this was clearly not a good time to investigate further. "Lili was abused when he was kidnapped by human traffickers. He has developed serious psychological problems. You must cooperate with me, otherwise it may cause irreversible trauma to him."
Gu Zhuofei, whose thoughts were in a state of confusion and disorder, suddenly woke up when she received Lin Yao's "telepathic message." She immediately realized that her state was abnormal and not the state a mother should be in at this time.
She had endured five years of hardship to reach this moment. The joy of seeing her son before, the disappointment and desolation caused by his sudden abnormal condition, and the urgency and frantic reaction to hearing that her son was ill and needed to find Lin Yao to solve the problem, all made her thoughts extremely chaotic. It was only at this moment that Lin Yao's wake-up call brought her back to her senses.
Five years of waiting were all for the sake of saving her son. Now her son is safe and sound, and the most important thing now is to try to heal Lili's emotional wounds and help him become a healthy and happy child again. At this time, she cannot lose her composure and cannot do anything that might hurt her son again, otherwise she will regret it for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuofei's eyes cleared, and she bravely raised her head, biting her lip as she gave Lin Yao a firm nod.
The two old generals, who had been locked in a standoff, stared dumbfounded at the scene before them. General Xia knew that his "great-grandson" had suffered from mental illness in the past, but had recovered in recent years. The current situation was clearly a sudden relapse, so he had no doubts about the sudden appearance of these people. He just felt that Elder Yi Potian's methods had gone a bit too far. He shouldn't have demolished someone's gate, yet he himself had punched through their floorboards—a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.
General Xiao observed carefully. Although he was furious that his front door had been forcibly demolished, he didn't complain too much when he saw that the person who came was an acquaintance, or rather, an acquaintance of the guest. He thought to himself that there must be a reason, and just waited to see the result.
Before General Xiao could even see the results, he saw his daughter-in-law following behind the crowd. This was a rare sight indeed, so he immediately lost his temper.
Last time, after going through countless hardships to lure his daughter-in-law to their home, his useless son, Xiao Deli, squandered the opportunity. Not only did the couple fail to reconcile, but Old Man Xia also smugly enjoyed the fine food and wine in front of him, while he could only watch as he ate, unable to even offer to add food to his bowl as usual. Now, his daughter-in-law held an unusually high position in the family, but she didn't appreciate it and even seemed to disregard it. This left General Xiao and his son, Xiao Li'ao, extremely frustrated.
His wife clearly knew Lin Yao, and they were very close. It was definitely not the casual acquaintance she had only met once, as she had acted at home last time. Judging from their eye contact and nods just now, their relationship was already very deep. Although there was no ambiguity in those actions, it still made General Xiao very jealous, and he was jealous for his son.
As if connected by a vital bloodline, Xiao Deli wasn't jealous of Lin Yao at this moment. His attention instantly fell on the boy in Lin Yao's arms. Although he couldn't see him clearly, he had a faint urge to rush over and see what was going on. The cry of "Lili, my good boy!" made his heart surge even more. The thought that was about to burst out rushed into his brain, making him tremble with excitement.
Lili? His wife's reaction and the unwavering gaze fixed on the boy suggested that the boy in Lin Yao's arms was very likely his son, whom he had lost for five years!
"Fei'er..." Xiao Deli suddenly found it very difficult to speak, "Lili... is he my son Lili?"
Gu Zhuofei's entire focus was on little Guli. She paid no attention to her ex-husband Xiao Deli's words. Only Dika, who handed Guli to Lin Yao, Xia Yuwen, who had parked her car and followed, and Alina, holding her daughter, stared strangely at Xiao Deli, wondering if this man was Guli's biological father. He seemed… well, not bad…
After breaking down the security door, Elder Yi Potian said a few words, then used a secret telepathic communication to explain the situation before disappearing to the side. He immediately understood the situation in the living room; clearly, the negotiations between Lin Yao and General Xia with this family were very unpleasant. The mess and the floorboards with several large holes said it all. He simply adopted the same attitude as Lin Yao earlier, standing indifferently to the side, ignoring the fact that it wasn't his business.
“Zhuo Fei…”
