Lin Yao was well aware of this information. By the time the Minhong Charity Foundation began its work, this kind of information was already quite comprehensive. It was then that Lin Yao truly realized for the first time that so many of his compatriots in his motherland were living in semi-primitive poverty.
Now, with the threat of a plague, this situation is particularly acute, and a good way must be found to protect the lives of these compatriots.
"Ah Yao, what's your opinion?"
Xia Yuwen's complexion returned to normal. She gets into the zone quickly when she's working, and as a martial artist, her body adapts very well. The slight blush disappeared immediately.
"I have no problem with it, this is just a headache..."
Lin Yao still frowned, patted his head, and didn't need to pretend in front of his girlfriend; his inner turmoil was naturally revealed.
"My parents also sensed the danger of this situation, so they called me specifically to emphasize the report written by Wang Zuo from Guizhou, and asked me to take it seriously and come up with a solution. It seems that my parents are also having a headache and haven't come up with a good solution."
Xia Yuwen stood up from her chair, walked slowly to Lin Yao's side, and gently stroked his head. "A Yao, do we really have to stick to Min Hong's principles? Can't we just give up on these principles? That way, we'll all be able to do better when a major disaster strikes, and patients won't be denied timely treatment because of some human constraints."
Lin Yao suddenly looked up. His gaze was fixed intently on Xia Yuwen, his expression very serious. "Wenwen, there's something I've never seriously told you before, and now it's time to tell you."
Xia Yuwen opened her eyes wide, said nothing, and squatted down next to Lin Yao, placing her hands on Lin Yao's thighs and looking up at him quietly.
"Minhong's principles cannot be violated. This is the bottom line that our family adheres to, and it is also the value and meaning of Minhong's existence."
Lin Yao's voice drifted far away, as if he were talking to himself. "Our whole family has never believed that we can save all the patients in the world, nor do we simply want to make the domestic medical system cheaper and more efficient. Although we thought that way at the beginning, this kind of thing is the responsibility of the country and the government. We should not and are not capable of doing it."
"The purpose and goal of Minhong, the value and significance of its existence, are all to give the people a warning, to let everyone know that good and evil are rewarded accordingly, rather than the morbid rules that are widely circulated in society today, such as 'good people are bullied' and 'if you are not bad enough, you have no future'."
Lin Yao grabbed Xia Yuwen's two small hands and pulled them together to his chest. "Wenwen, although we can see some clues about Minhong's corporate culture, I know that most employees don't think we have such a firm determination and belief. They think the bosses are very innocent and naive, and that even the medicines they produce are only sold to good people. As for outsiders, they think even more so, and they might even think that our family members are crazy."
"I know that, but I don't mind. Let others think what they want. We just want to give it a try. Even if it only makes a few people have good intentions, it's a victory."
Suddenly, a terrifying light flashed in Lin Yao's eyes. "But things are different now. With the existence of the 'Poison King,' Min Hong's ideals, if not fully realized, can at least have a significant social impact and achieve a certain degree of realization. This is an opportunity—an opportunity to awaken the good thoughts in people's hearts and eliminate evil thoughts through death."
Xia Yuwen was completely stunned. The information she had heard today was too shocking. She had just recovered from her grandfather's message and was now shocked by Lin Yao's.
A catalyst? To awaken through death?
Xia Yuwen suddenly felt that she didn't understand Lin Yao anymore. According to this statement, would Lin Yao and Min Hong really stand by and watch someone die? This was simply unbelievable!
"Wenwen, this is an opportunity."
Lin Yao noticed the change in Xia Yuwen's expression and felt slightly uneasy. He hoped his woman could understand and accept this idea, because they would be family from now on, and family should work together.
“People will die in the future, many, many people will die, and Minhong will not help everyone at that time. Those who are reported for serious moral deficiencies, we will watch them die without offering any help!”
“Ah Yao, but you can’t convict someone just by making a report! Even if we have a special auditing agency to verify these reports, with such a large membership base and so many reports across the country, it’s impossible to verify them all. There will definitely be errors and omissions. Do you really have the heart to watch them die?!”
Xia Yuwen was anxious, her mind racing, and she managed to find a flaw in Lin Yao's words. It was already quite remarkable that she could still maintain a sliver of clarity and discover the problem at this point, which even Lin Yao admired.
"Wenwen, you may not know this, but our membership verification database is the most comprehensive. The employees who work in the backend to verify anonymous photos have heavy workloads and simple, mechanical tasks, but they are very important. Their work can almost completely prevent people from applying for membership with fake documents."
Lin Yao reached out and smoothed out Xia Yuwen's furrowed brows, then smiled and said, "Because our verification database comes from the Ministry of Public Security's national citizen household registration database, and ours is even more comprehensive than theirs. We have all the original databases that were previously scattered across various provinces and cities in China. Of course, the methods we used to obtain them were not honorable, but we didn't use them for anything bad, so please don't mind."
As Lin Yao spoke, he realized he had gone off-topic and quickly retracted his words. "Reports made under real names are generally credible. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of people playing pranks or deliberately slandering and framing others. However, once such cases are discovered, they will not be tolerated, and we have never relaxed our vigilance. Nowadays, such cases are much less common. People who frame others are also morally deficient and will naturally be expelled from the membership."
"In principle, we use three reports as the basis. Unless the circumstances are very serious or special, we will not require the three-report limit. We will also send an auditing department to audit, so there will be no errors or omissions."
"Even if there are mistakes and oversights, they are inevitable. Many times, when doing big things, you can't be so comprehensive. Sacrificing some people is unavoidable. Don't get stuck on these things. The key is to change your mindset. That's why I'm telling you this today."
"How many people will die?" Xia Yuwen murmured, without answering Lin Yao's question.
“Many, many, many people will die. Among them, the majority are those who have something to hide and dare not apply or have been expelled from the membership. There will also be some people who are numb and do not apply for membership. Those who apply for membership at the last minute when problems arise may not be taken care of, because in an emergency, quotas are allocated to various places according to the number of members, and it is impossible to take care of too many.”
"In the fight against the 'Poison Master,' we are always on the defensive, so death is inevitable. It's just a matter of how many people die and what kind of people die."
Lin Yao's words were cold-blooded, and his expression was calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him, which made Xia Yuwen feel a chill run down her spine.
"If a large number of people who are not members of the Democratic Red Cross fall ill, it will cause social unrest. Without organization and leadership, order in various places will be disrupted..."
Xia Yuwen still wanted to persuade Lin Yao. Although she kept hinting that she should follow Lin Yao's lead, these shocking words still made her lose her composure. With so many people dying, she could not remain indifferent and stand aside no matter what.
“Wenwen, Minhong has a lot of financial expenditures. In addition to maintaining normal operating expenses, we also have dedicated personnel responsible for intelligence collection, sorting and analysis. Combined with the functions of the reporting system, we are prepared in this regard.”
Lin Yao smiled, but it wasn't a very pleasant smile. Although he disliked those morally deficient people, the thought of them dying because of them still made him uncomfortable. Even though he didn't cause their deaths, inaction and failing to help could still be seen as being an executioner. That's how the world works; sometimes, failing to help someone in distress is even more hated than the direct perpetrator.
"You should have noticed that people often send messages in the reporting system about good deeds of certain individuals or departments. The auditing department has sent people to verify some of the valuable information. In the event of a major incident, the Minhong Association will recommend a group of grassroots or mid-level personnel to relevant departments and institutions as substitutes for certain positions. Their character is at least on the surface excellent or trustworthy. This is our preparation work."
Xia Yuwen was speechless, feeling like her head was a complete mess and she couldn't think straight anymore. She stared blankly at Lin Yao, a hint of grievance on her face.
"Wenwen, this is an opportunity we must seize." Lin Yao clenched his fist. "Don't you want those who abused their power for personal gain, created shoddy projects that killed many innocent people, to be brought to justice? Don't you want to see those responsible for major incidents like the 'Zijin Mining' incident a few years ago punished?"
"There are some unique characteristics. Most bad people are indeed punished, but there are still some who only receive mild criticism and punishment, and then are idle for a year or two, or even transferred to other regions to continue to serve, and then continue to harm the interests and even lives of the people."
"Sometimes, when one or two people die, many more people benefit. Many people are destined to die, but they continue to live a life of luxury and debauchery. If God is blind, we'll make him see the truth."
"With fewer people who think their lives are superior to others, society will be more harmonious!"
After a long while, Xia Yuwen moved slightly.
After a long while, Xia Yuwen stood up from the ground.
After a long while, Xia Yuwen drank some water, slowly looked up at Lin Yao, and said in a soft voice, "Ah Yao, I have an idea to solve the problem of members in remote and impoverished areas."
