"Hello, young brother." Qingying stepped forward and gave Lin Yao a big hug. "A person who can be praised so highly by the Hawk must be very outstanding. I am honored to be worthy of such praise."
"Brother Qingying, you flatter me. I'll have to trouble you to save my father later." Lin Yao really liked the soldiers' straightforwardness and enthusiasm. From their conversation, he knew they were serving in a special secret unit. He wondered if he would ever have the chance to see Qingying again, and a sense of regret arose in his heart.
"To save your father?" Qingying was somewhat surprised. "Don't worry, young brother, we will do our best."
A police car pulled up, and a middle-aged policeman got out. After hugging Ge Yong and Qing Ying, he didn't linger and waved his hand, "Start the operation."
The special police officers immediately rushed towards the target and quickly disappeared into the night.
Qingying disappeared in a flash. Ge Yong grabbed Lin Yao and rushed in another direction, explaining in a low voice as they ran, "There are a lot of people. Let's split up to avoid being exposed, and then break into the house where your father is from all directions."
After running stealthily for about two hundred meters and bypassing many houses, Lin Yao followed Ge Yong and lay in ambush outside the wall of a detached house in the suburbs, waiting for the right moment.
"Brother, thank you so much." Lin Yao whispered, "I didn't expect you to know the police chief. Otherwise, I don't know what my father would have done."
“Brother, you don’t need to talk to your elder brother like that. Your elder brother owes you more.” Ge Yong replied softly, “Your elder brother doesn’t even treat himself like an outsider anymore. If you keep talking like that, your elder brother will have a problem with it.”
"I was wrong, big brother, we're brothers." Lin Yao had long wanted to recognize Ge Yong as his older brother, and immediately expressed his feelings, "I've recognized a really awesome big brother, so I can walk around with my head held high from now on."
"You're just joking, kid. When have I ever seen you walk around like that?" Ge Yong laughed. "Because of the secrecy regulations, I can't tell you about my past, but I do know a lot of people in the public security and military systems, especially in the western region. Don't show off later. With Qingying around, don't worry, your father will be fine."
"Oh." Lin Yao was truly relieved at this moment. Ge Yong's analysis was very comprehensive. His father should be safe. In addition, his newly recognized older brother was very powerful and had brought in the special police team and the even more powerful Qingying to help. The rescue operation was very safe, and the kidnappers would not engage in any violent arrests.
Lying prone, Lin Yao took out a pair of steel needles and strongly urged Xiao Cao to apply poison, as he wanted to severely punish these kidnappers.

The sky over Chengdu is usually overcast, and today there were no stars either, shrouding the outskirts in darkness. Lin Yao lay in wait, remaining motionless. In the dim light, he couldn't even make out Ge Yong's face beside him, and he had no idea where Qingying and the SWAT team members were.
The suburbs were quiet, with only the occasional bark of a dog and faint human voices breaking the silence of the night, making it even more oppressive. Lin Yao's mood became increasingly tense, and he could hear his heart pounding in the quiet night.
Time passed second by second, until Lin Yao was so nervous that his whole body was burning up, when he heard a crisp sound, like the clang of a steel lighter being turned on.
"Let's move out," Ge Yong said softly, his voice not vibrating, as he led the charge towards the courtyard ahead.
Lin Yao and Ge Yong were hiding outside the back wall of the courtyard. The low wall, less than two meters high, was made of uneven red bricks. Lin Yao held onto the top of the wall, stepped onto the protrusions, and climbed over into the courtyard.
The yard was quite large, with clutter scattered everywhere. It was clear that the owner hadn't kept the yard tidy. Perhaps this was a gathering place for kidnappers, which explained the lack of cleanliness and order in a normal home.
There was the sound of a television on the first floor, and the clatter of mahjong tiles coming from a lit window on the second floor, along with occasional curses from players who were having bad luck. Upon entering the courtyard, in the dim light streaming through the windows, Lin Yao spotted the SWAT team members who had been hiding earlier, but Qingying was still nowhere to be seen.
With a bang, the doors upstairs and downstairs were kicked open simultaneously. Before Lin Yao could even be surprised at how perfectly timed the SWAT team had acted, Ge Yong grabbed his arm and pulled him to the corner of the stairwell, clearly protecting him from the possibility that the kidnappers might be armed.
The battle began and ended in an instant. Just as Ge Yong had analyzed beforehand, these kidnappers were clearly not ruthless bandits who specialized in killing and robbing, but rather a motley crew. Upon seeing the masked SWAT officers, they immediately collapsed to the ground or lay on the mahjong table, rendering the steel needles Lin Yao had prepared useless.
Luo Jimin was brought before Lin Yao by Qingying. He looked miserable, his face bruised and swollen, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, indicating he had been beaten quite a bit. Tears immediately welled up in Lin Yao's eyes. Seeing his father's pitiful state pained him deeply. He rushed over to take his father's pulse and examine him, pressing his palms against various parts of his father's body. The examination results reassured Lin Yao; his father hadn't suffered any internal injuries, and his external injuries weren't serious either. He would recover after a couple of days of rest.
Having never experienced kidnapping before, Luo Jimin remained calm, earning the secret praise of Qingying, who helped him untie the bonds. Like father, like son; both father and son were excellent.
Lin Yao looked at his father with teary eyes, a surge of anger rising in his heart. The other party had actually used such despicable means to deal with his father. If it weren't for Ge Yong's help, he didn't know how much suffering his father would have endured, or even more serious consequences.
I will take revenge! I will make the person behind this pay the price! I will make those people pay a hundredfold for the pain they inflicted on my father! Lin Yao secretly vowed, his face contorted with rage, which worried Ge Yong, who was standing beside him.
The interrogation was led by Ge Yong. The special police team wasn't good at this kind of work, and Qing Ying stood aside watching with a playful smile. Lin Yao observed all the interrogations, but the results were far from satisfactory. These thugs were simply following orders, rushing to Xinglin Pharmaceutical Factory to snatch people based on the location and photos provided in the orders.
The matter was temporarily resolved, but Lin Yao's anger had not yet been vented. A group of small fry was clearly not enough to satisfy him. If he didn't figure out who the mastermind behind the other party was, he would be unable to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future.
“Big brother…” Lin Yao frowned as he looked at Ge Yong.
“Brother, I know what you mean, wait a moment.” Ge Yong interrupted Lin Yao. He had already noticed Lin Yao’s distorted face and red eyes and knew what he was thinking.
Ge Yong walked to the side and whispered a few words to the special police officers who were monitoring the interrogation. The lead special police officer nodded, waved, and led his team out of the room.
"Tell me, who ordered them? Where are they now?" Ge Yong's expression was gloomy, like a bloodthirsty wolf, which surprised Lin Yao. This was a stark contrast to his usual masculine and heroic image, but he felt a sense of comfort. Ge Yong's behavior at this moment was in line with his inner thoughts.
The two kidnapping leaders were very tough and refused to talk no matter how Ge Yong interrogated them, even when he put thick books under their chests and hammered them.
“Brother, time is too tight. Even with the SWAT team here, we can’t injure them. It’s not easy to handle. If these bastards were in my hands, I’d make sure they’d tell me everything.” Ge Yong frowned. There are many rules for handling such criminal cases in the local area. He couldn’t do anything about the kidnapping leader’s attitude of being a dead pig and not afraid of boiling water. He couldn’t make things difficult for the deputy director who was helping him.
"I'll do it." Lin Yao's gentle demeanor vanished, replaced by a cold voice that startled Ge Yong and Qing Ying. At this moment, the anger in his heart burned even brighter. How dare the other party harm his family? He was determined to make them suffer, or else his parents might really get into trouble if he didn't handle things properly in the future.
Making an example of someone to scare others—that's the decision Lin Yao just made.
“I’m not worried about their toughness. I’ll turn them all into spineless cowards, so they can only lie in bed waiting to die.” Lin Yao slowly approached the two kidnapping leaders. “I can not only save people, but also kill them, and I won’t cause any trouble after I kill them.”
Lin Yao's icy tone made Ge Yong's eyes widen. He suddenly realized Lin Yao's identity and recalled the horrified expressions of those thugs in Ya'an that night when they saw the steel needles, as if they had seen a ghost. He immediately understood the action Lin Yao was about to take, but he was worried that he would really kill people. So he immediately advised, "Brother, don't kill people easily. They don't deserve to die."
"Listen to your brother, then I'll make them impotent for life, never to touch a woman again. Do the same to all the kidnappers, and paralyze these two." After saying that, Lin Yao stuffed the mouths of the two kidnapper leaders with old clothes from the room, then covered their mouths and noses with curtains, and sprinkled the white powder from his palms directly on their heads.
"Ugh." The two kidnappers immediately began to writhe violently, and the chairs they were handcuffed to fell to the ground. They frantically banged their heads against the ground, but Lin Yao, who was already prepared, held one of their heads down with each hand. The kidnappers could only groan in pain through their nostrils, which sounded rather pitiful through the strips of cloth.
The eagle's eyes brightened, and its playful expression vanished.
Ge Yong looked directly at Lin Yao and asked, "Brother, what is this...?"
"This is nothing, just a little powder to make their heads itch. The main course hasn't even started yet," Lin Yao replied casually, his icy tone sending chills down one's spine, making one's anger almost burn out.
Tears streamed down the faces of both kidnappers as they struggled incessantly, their snot soaking through the cloth strips covering their nostrils, making them look particularly pitiful.
