It's just a title, how could it affect the relationship between two people? If they are really brothers, then Lin Yao would grant this request. If they are not real brothers, with Lin Yao's current strength, he doesn't need to play this game at all.
For Lin Yao, he liked that Ge Yong continued to address him as he used to, as it represented a brotherly bond and a memory.
As his abilities improved, Lin Yao found himself looking down on others, an instinctive attitude. He worried that he would be lonely in the future, so he began to value his past relationships more.
"Went to Shanghai? That guy reacted pretty quickly. If he's so capable, then he should never come back." Lin Yao smiled contemptuously, his tone full of disdain.
"Xiao Yao, I've already arranged for Red Eagle in Shanghai to handle this matter. It will be an accident, and there won't be any violent clues left behind," Ge Yong reported loudly as he drove.
Inside the carriage, Elder Yi Potian and Elder Yi Gong kept their eyes closed, resting. They weren't particularly enthusiastic about these matters; they simply went along with Lin Yao's wishes. If necessary, Lin Yao could send Yi family members to collect the bodies with a single word. Although the Aristocratic Alliance stipulated that they shouldn't interfere too much in civilian affairs, such acts of punishing evil wouldn't be sanctioned by the alliance, as long as they didn't attract public attention and expose the aristocratic families. After all, ancient martial arts practitioners also had passions and were certainly not as heartless as monks and Taoists who had seen through the world.
"Alright then, you can arrange it, brother." Lin Yao agreed to Ge Yong's suggestion, but he was quite puzzled. Why did his first reaction just now want to deal with Zhang Fusheng himself? Was his violent mentality so severe that he needed to kill someone with his own hands to feel satisfied?
Recalling his actions in Nanchong, Lin Yao came to a conclusion: there was indeed a strange excitement when killing people, a feeling similar to the legendary **. Although he had not yet experienced the most real **, he could basically draw this conclusion because the feeling of being inexplicably excited by every cell in his body was incomparable to any other situation.
"In addition, I have already handed over the outer packaging of the counterfeit medicine to a reliable person for analysis and testing, and there will be no problem," Ge Yong continued. This was a situation that Lin Yao had not considered. When he was in Nanchong, he collected some counterfeit "Minhong Children's Cold Granules" to trace the source and find out the entire counterfeit medicine manufacturing and sales chain, which provided assistance to Lin Yao's anti-counterfeiting operation.
"Outer packaging?" Lin Yao was puzzled and didn't understand what Ge Yong meant for a moment.
“Yes, I think the production and sale of counterfeit goods has formed an interdependent industrial chain. Without these companies that provide infringing packaging services, Zhang Fusheng wouldn’t be able to make such convincing fake medicines.” Ge Yong slowed down and glanced back at Lin Yao.
“I noticed that the outer packaging of the counterfeit drugs was almost identical to that of Minhong’s genuine drugs, so I arranged for someone to analyze the paper composition, pigments, and layout, etc., to see if they belonged to the same cardboard box factory and aluminum-plastic film printing factory. If so, measures should be taken against them as well. Otherwise, it would be very easy for another company to imitate Minhong’s products. They are basically the same suppliers. They just need to fill some counterfeit drugs into the packaging bags, and the patients will not be able to tell the difference.”
"Brother, you've thought of everything!" Lin Yao suddenly realized. "I had forgotten about this. We really need to crack down on these printing and packaging factories that assist in counterfeiting. This is definitely not the first time they've done this. There must be other counterfeit packaging made by them."
"Yes, we'll have the results tomorrow. As long as they're from the same packaging factory, we can find them without any investigation." Ge Yong nodded vigorously, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
In Nanchong, Ge Yong had only served as a driver, an idle driver, and he was already seething with anger. Now that he was back in Chengdu, with so many veterans at his disposal, these small matters didn't require Lin Yao's involvement at all. The security team could handle it much better, and in terms of methods and techniques of killing, the veterans far surpassed Lin Yao, a novice.
A lot happened in the next few days.
Zhang Fusheng, the owner of a medicinal herb processing factory in Xindu, was traveling and on business in Shanghai. While admiring the Shanghai night view, he accidentally fell from the balcony of his hotel. The 15-story drop left him headfirst, leaving behind a body with almost no intact head. His identity was only identified by searching for missing persons in the hotel rooms at the vertical distance, and it was eventually confirmed that it was Zhang Fusheng.
The production workshop director of Xindu Pharmaceutical Factory accidentally ate a supplement prepared by his wife. This seafood, called "canned razor clams," was said to have aphrodisiac properties. Unfortunately, the canned product was a counterfeit product, and the manufacturer and phone number listed on the label did not exist. This supplement, which contained extremely high doses of preservatives and special toxins, directly killed the workshop director.
Langri Printing Company in Chengdu is a large paper printing enterprise with an annual turnover of over 70 million yuan. It has five printing plants. The factory manager and sales manager of the fourth branch located near the West Third Ring Road were both involved in accidents. The factory manager was paralyzed from the neck down in a car accident, and the sales manager died suddenly from an overdose of stimulants while partying with friends.
The sales vice general manager of an aluminum-plastic packaging factory in Shuangliu County also passed away. The cause of death was that he was stabbed to death by someone while fighting over a prostitute at a KTV. At 4 a.m., he was stabbed to death in the basement garage after leaving the KTV. He was stabbed 32 times and there was hardly any intact skin on his chest. The gruesome scene was truly chilling to the heart of those who were jealous of each other.
Lin Yao showed no mercy to the two main people responsible for the counterfeit medicinal herb processing plant in Xindu, taking their lives without hesitation. As for the factory workers who only earned a few hundred yuan a month, Lin Yao couldn't bring himself to punish them. He could only lament the chaotic society and the ignorance of the people, who were willing to do anything for a living, yet he couldn't punish them simply because they knew they were producing counterfeit goods.
The main people responsible for the printing company are the factory and sales manager, and may also involve workshop management and warehouse shipping staff, and at least the finance department. However, this kind of collusion in counterfeiting, which has become the norm in the industry, has made Lin Yao temporarily stop.
Punishing the branch factory manager and sales manager who were directly responsible can serve as a warning to the entire packaging industry. Don't think that you can get away with just producing and printing according to customer requirements. People who knowingly help others to produce counterfeit goods for their own profit should also be severely punished.
The two people in charge of Langri Printing Company did not profit much. They changed the names of their business to attract customers in order to improve their own performance. Of course, all the profits on the surface were handed over to the company. They only received a kickback and hush money of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in private. It was this small amount of kickback that was serious in nature, which led to their deaths and disabilities.
After netizens discovered the connection between the incidents, Langri Company conducted a strict overhaul of all its printing plants, raising the management system to a new level, from sample sealing to production workshop shipment records and delivery records, with the aim of preventing the same incident from happening again. Of course, the main reason was that the chairman, general manager and a group of senior executives of Langri Printing Company were worried that misfortune would befall them. These days, nothing else matters but the threat to one's life.
It must be said that the security team under Ge Yong's leadership is excellent in both intelligence gathering and mission execution. This saved Lin Yao a lot of trouble from doing things personally and indirectly helped him with a major matter. However, Lin Yao and everyone else are unaware of this extraordinary matter.
The wisest people in this world are the people and the masses.
With the internet, the world has become smaller and information flows more freely. When netizens in Nanchong shared local events as anecdotes online, some incredibly insightful but bored netizens combined the Nanchong incident with several seemingly isolated incidents in Chengdu, along with information about counterfeit goods disclosed anonymously on an inconspicuous forum by employees of a Xindu medicinal herb processing plant during their free time, and arrived at a conclusion that was very close to the truth.
Minhong Pharmaceutical refuses to manufacture and sell counterfeit goods. They have their own anti-counterfeiting team. This team is not the hundreds of legal professionals and dedicated anti-counterfeiting office that Minhong officially announces, but a straightforward and ruthless force, like the knights-errant of ancient times.
Of course, some insightful netizens have offered another hypothesis: that there exists a force in the public that hates evil and has chosen to support Minhong Pharmaceutical. Any company or individual involved in manufacturing or selling counterfeit Minhong drugs will be ruthlessly attacked, an attack that no one can withstand, because it will directly cost them their lives.
Despite the frequent appearance of nonsensical and unfounded arguments online, the conclusion summarized by "I am Little Darling" has convinced most people. This is because "I am Little Darling" has listed a large amount of information as evidence, making assumptions and arguments about time, geographical location, and interrelationships one by one, which is truly admirable. It is simply a top-notch criminal investigation case analysis report, and its professionalism and thoroughness are beyond question.
In no time, "I am a little cutie" became an internet celebrity, gaining countless fans. Countless questions appeared like snowflakes on the forum where he (or she) first posted, and some people even asked about the creator and true purpose of "grass mud horse".
Director Liu of the Provincial State Security Bureau personally invited Ge Yong for tea, but Ge Yong, who was not intimidated by the State Security Bureau at all, turned the meeting into a real tea-drinking session, which greatly annoyed Director Liu.
Logically speaking, members of the Eagle Division, who have killed countless people, would not deny these minor incidents too much. The two even had a life-and-death bond. Even if Ge Yong revealed some information, it wouldn't have any impact. After all, although the deaths and disabilities of twenty people linked on the internet have a wide impact, it hasn't reached the point where the National Security Bureau needs to intervene. Director Liu was only asked to help obtain some information so that certain departments would have a direction for their future work.
Director Liu was puzzled by Ge Yong's obvious detached attitude. He didn't give any hints. Could it be that the retired veterans of the Eagle Department really had nothing to do with these things?
In reality, after learning about Lin Yao's ideals and attitude, Ge Yong has devoted himself wholeheartedly to this great cause. He cannot take any risks to put Lin Yao in danger. The reason is that although Lin Yao's power and strength are now very strong, his social experience and knowledge are still very immature. This situation puts him on the edge of danger at any time. Therefore, Ge Yong acts as an elder brother who teaches and protects him, and fully assists him.
Disclosing information and giving hints? Is it necessary? What's in it for them? Ge Yong won't do it!
Despite the lack of evidence and the seemingly sudden and unintentional nature of several incidents in Chengdu, no one is naive. Under the analysis and research of criminal investigation experts within the GA system, and amidst the growing online cult surrounding the "Chinese Dragon Knight" knight-errant team, the Sichuan Provincial GA established a special task force to secretly investigate Minhong Pharmaceutical. Once they uncover relevant evidence, Minhong will inevitably face severe legal consequences.
"Zhonghua Longke? That's a good name!" Duan Hanyuan leaned back in his rattan chair, holding a cup of tea. He smelled the aroma of the tea and nodded with a smile.
"Dad, do you think Xiao Lin did these things?" Duan Qing stood respectfully in front of his father, Duan Hanyuan, frowning. He thought to himself that Min Hong was really good at causing trouble. The medical and health department under his jurisdiction had always been peaceful, but ever since Min Hong came out, there had been no peace.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Duan Hanyuan laughed nonchalantly. "Duan Qing, your thinking is still too limited and conservative. You haven't seen anything at a higher level."
“You didn’t see Xiao Lin’s true value. This value isn’t just reflected in the miraculous medicines he created for Min Hong, nor are they mysterious elixirs, but rather in his medical skills.” Duan Hanyuan’s expression suddenly turned stern as he stared into his son Duan Qing’s eyes, speaking in a lecturing tone, “Have you forgotten how I survived? And how my in-law, Old Man Xia, did too?”
"Xiao Lin's greatest value lies in his medical skills, his ability to save lives. This is something no one can replace or match. Therefore, he will definitely be fine! Given this premise, are these things he did really that important?"
“However, this matter has a great social impact.” Duan Qing still had doubts. “The leaders above have given special instructions and are now watching Min Hong’s every move.”
"Above?" Duan Hanyuan's lips curled up. "Which above? The city? The province?"
“Let me tell you, the ‘higher’ you’re talking about isn’t high enough!” Duan Hanyuan’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. “The real higher-ups would never issue such an opinion. The person who issues such an opinion doesn’t understand Xiaolin’s abilities. And the people at the very top are happy to see Minhong restrained and disciplined. Only then will Xiaolin take the initiative to come to them.”
"There's something you don't know, and I haven't told you yet. The number three leader personally met with Xiao Lin. I don't know what they talked about, but this level of attitude is not like Hao Lunli personally coming to Chengdu to meet people. Don't think that many people know about Xiao Lin's medical skills. Those who do know are mostly in Beijing, and it's unlikely that they would reveal it. After all, no one really knows Xiao Lin's attitude these days."
"Even if the US president were to visit China and have a shoe thrown at him by Kobayashi during his speech, if they knew Kobayashi's identity, they certainly wouldn't protest. The reason is that Kobayashi can control people's lives and deaths, a power that no one can underestimate. In the eyes of most people, this power is even stronger than policies and trade that are related to national interests. After all, everyone only has one life, and everyone will experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, but Kobayashi can reverse this situation."
Duan Qing stared blankly at his father, his mind somewhat dazed. He had indeed not considered this situation. He had always thought that Lin Yao was lucky to have received some attention and benefits, and even thought that after discovering Lin Yao's identity, his care for Min Hong, which went from being unambitious to having a purpose, was enough to make the other party grateful.
Hearing his father's words, he suddenly came to his senses and realized that this country also belongs to the aging politics, and the powerful and wealthy are all relatively old people. The greatest threat to these people is precisely birth, aging, illness and death.
