Say what needs to be said, and never mention what shouldn't be said.

He knows his limits and understands what he should and shouldn't say.

It's far too early to make public the affair between Wang Ling and Lin Beichen, as things are still very uncertain. Speaking out too soon would not be good for Wang Ling's reputation.

Those who didn't know the situation might have thought that his daughter was desperately trying to get close to Lin Beichen.

"You're right, but it's a last resort. Missions inevitably involve risks, and we can only choose to trust them and provide them with maximum support. Letting them operate again in three months gives them a buffer period."

"If they are unwilling, we will not force them."

The group then began a further discussion.

There is absolutely no intention to force anyone to do anything against their will.

Everything is entirely voluntary; if someone is unwilling, the Chinese leadership will never force them.

"There's no doubt about that; I know they won't refuse."

"That's true. These young people are the pride of China."

at the same time.

Zhou Tianliang contacted Lin Beichen via mobile phone.

At first, Lin Beichen thought it was a harassing call and didn't pay much attention to it.

But the continuous stream of calls made him realize that this was probably not a regular sales call. The caller might genuinely have an emergency, or it might be a friend calling. With that thought in mind, he pressed the answer button, but didn't speak immediately.

After a short silence.

Finally, a voice came from the other end of the receiver.

He was a young man with a clear, bright voice.

"Comrade Lin Beichen, I am Zhou Tianliang, the captain of another special forces team that went to South Korea to carry out a mission. I heard that you have successfully completed your mission and would like to exchange some thoughts and experiences with you. I wonder if Comrade Lin Beichen would have some free time these days?" Zhou Tianliang's tone was still a little reserved.

You can hear that the background noise on the other end of the phone is quite loud.

Lin Beichen and his group are probably on vacation somewhere.

It was indeed a bit presumptuous of me to call and request a meeting.

I sensed the unease in the other person's tone.

Lin Beichen didn't say much, only giving a faint reply.

I am currently at...

"If you want to meet, just come over. I assume you're on vacation right now."

"Feel free to chat when you have time."

"If you truly intend to come."

There was no beating around the bush.

Lin Beichen indeed did not mind the other party's visit.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Comrade Lin Beichen."

Zhou Tianliang's tone was noticeably more relaxed, and his previous restraint had dissipated.

"No need to be so polite, it's nothing. There's no need to keep calling me 'comrade,' we're all young people, just call me by my first name." Lin Beichen said with a hint of helplessness, not expecting the other party to be so serious.

He was never one to be bound by formalities.

A true man should not be bound by trivialities; such formalities are of little importance.

"He sounds like a rather interesting young man, so particular about manners."

"I just heard he was from another squad, I thought this kid was here to provoke me."

Yu Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

He hadn't met such a polite junior in a long time.

Judging from his voice, he shouldn't be very old, so how could he be so mature and composed?

"What do you know? That's called being well-mannered and knowing how to behave appropriately. Unlike you, who's always so frivolous."

Before Lin Beichen could respond.

Norasuke then cast a disdainful glance at Yu Feng.

Faced with Norasuke's provocation, Yu Feng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight with me? How could I be considered unserious?"

"That's called being approachable, don't you understand, you country bumpkin?"

Faced with Yu Feng's retort.

Norasuke retaliated without backing down.

The two bantered back and forth, not at all like they were arguing, but rather like old friends who had known each other for many years playfully bickering.

Of course, Nora and Yu Feng, as the parties involved, would never consider them to be close friends. This was merely a facade; deep down, they genuinely disliked each other. Lin Beichen was already quite used to their constant bickering.

As long as it's limited to verbal disputes, it's not considered serious.

The important thing is that they understand that they are comrades-in-arms who have gone through hardships together.

"Did he come alone, or with others?"

Zhang San asked in a low voice.

“Just him,” Lin Beichen replied casually.

He sensed that Zhang San was not a sociable person. Despite being a top soldier, he was very sparing with his words, which became quite apparent during their interactions.

Simply put, their social skills need improvement.

If someone else had brought Zhang San along, they might have thought he was arrogant. But Lin Beichen didn't think so. Knowing that the other party had come alone, Zhang San felt more at ease; he didn't want to have to deal with too many people during his vacation.

Having fewer people can avoid this problem.

……

I soaked in the hot spring all night.

All four of them felt refreshed and invigorated.

Norasuke seemed out of place, mainly because he was quite annoyed by Yu Feng.

He decided to return to his residence alone, or perhaps he had some personal matters to attend to. Lin Beichen and the others didn't press him further. Similar to Nora-suke's situation, Zhang San said he was going to visit a distant relative in the area.

She is said to be a niece who is currently in junior high school.

I heard that I was bullied at school.

The news reached his parents' ears, just as Zhang San happened to be staying in the city.

Zhang San naturally wouldn't refuse to help out in a simple matter.

Moreover, the other party had a close relationship with his parents.

They were close friends, and he remembered what his little niece looked like.

"Need any help? You're free anyway, so just let me know if you need anything."

"It's just a conflict between children; I can handle it by myself."

Zhang San shook his head, his lips twitching slightly.

What's this? Can't he even solve a middle school student's problem?

"That's true. But like I said, if you really run into trouble, remember to call us."

Yu Feng patted Zhang San on the shoulder.

They put on an attitude of "I'll protect you if you need anything."

However, he was indeed qualified to say that, and Zhang San did not refute it.

He knew that Yu Feng came from a prestigious family, but he was not averse to such scions of prominent families.

Not all sons of wealthy families are spoiled brats.

"Okay, I'll come to you if I really need help."

Zhang San didn't stand on ceremony with him.

……

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng then hailed a taxi at random.

"Carpooling? Why would I carpool at a time like this? My child has a high fever, and the situation is very serious!"

An excited shout came from inside the car.

Lin Beichen frowned slightly, but did not insist.

If that doesn't work, he and Yu Feng can simply wait for the next bus.

"It's alright, it's on the way. There are two empty seats in the back, you can get on first."

The driver wore an awkward but polite smile.

It's really not easy to get jobs late at night.

He just wanted to earn more money to support his family.

Seeing that the driver insisted, Lin Beichen nodded and did not argue further.

Yu Feng and Lin Beichen sat on either side of the back row.

The car started moving as soon as the door was closed.

Lin Beichen immediately frowned, sensing the unusual aura.

Through the rearview mirror, he could clearly see that the driver's face was shrouded in a dark aura.

This facial feature clearly indicates a darkening of the glabella (the area between the eyebrows).

If the speculation is correct, this driver will likely suffer financial losses soon.

In severe cases, it could even lead to legal trouble.

He subtly shifted his gaze, but Yu Feng, standing beside him, noticed this detail.

Yu Feng had been following Lin Beichen for some time and naturally understood what this expression meant. If he wasn't mistaken, the driver had gotten into trouble, and he wondered if Lin Beichen would be willing to help. He couldn't say much about these mystical matters.

The actual situation was almost exactly as he had guessed.

Lin Beichen did not intend to interfere too much.

Even if you tell them, the other party may not believe you, and they might even think you're a scammer.

Can just anyone call themselves a fortune teller?

Not wearing a Taoist robe and being so young, his appearance was hardly convincing.

"My child has such a high fever, look, he's even started vomiting."

“If this continues, I’m afraid something will happen to the child. Don’t you feel any remorse for making this kind of ill-gotten money?” the child’s mother berated the driver, her eyes red with anger.

"I……"

Every family has its cupboard.

The driver was also thinking about his family.

There's really no other way; both of my children need to drink formula.

The cost of baby formula is a significant expense every month, and if I don't work hard to support my family, we really can't make ends meet. My wife left me for someone else two months ago because of my poverty.

Now, his two children are the most important thing in his life.

Parents are the most likely to empathize.

Upon closer inspection, the child did indeed have a high fever... and was on the verge of losing consciousness; he was probably already disoriented and needed to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.

Besides, the other party just said that.

If something really happens to the child.

He was undoubtedly to blame, and therefore very anxious.

Lin Beichen observed all of this, and after a slight hesitation, said to the mother:

"Could I see the child? I know a little about Traditional Chinese Medicine; perhaps I can help."

Lin Beichen's words reached the child's mother's ears.

She turned to look at the back seat, thinking she had encountered a master.

But upon closer inspection, they were immediately disappointed. This was no expert at all; he was clearly just a young boy, looking like he had just graduated from school.

Can someone like that cure diseases?
It would be strange if it could really be cured.

"No need, I still trust hospitals more... but I'd be willing to try a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."

"But you're so young, I think I'll wait a bit longer."

The child's mother's reaction was exactly what Lin Beichen had expected.

He was confident he could bring the child's fever down.

But the other party doesn't believe it, so there's no point in saying more.

We can't just forcibly take the child away to treat him; he's not that eager to help. Since the other party is unwilling, let's just give up. We can treat him at the hospital later.

Judging from the current situation.

Although serious, it is not life-threatening.

"Heh, Brother Lin Beichen offered his help, and you're so ungrateful."

Yu Feng felt quite helpless.

A hint of sarcasm crept onto his lips.

But he also understood that the child was innocent and the mother couldn't be entirely blamed.

If I hadn't witnessed Lin Beichen's methods firsthand...

Who would believe that a young man in his early twenties has such superb medical skills?
"boom--"

"Whoosh——"

A strong feeling of being pushed back suddenly came over me.

The driver silently increased the car's speed to the maximum.

For the sake of his child and to make up for lost time, he had to speed things up as much as possible.

Perhaps it's because my own child is the same age.

The driver, who was also the father, felt inexplicably guilty.

"Don't worry, the child will be fine. I'll get to the hospital as fast as I can. It was my fault... thinking about making money at a time like this."

"Money earned through dishonest means should not be earned."

The driver pondered to himself.

While observing the road conditions, look for the right opportunity to overtake.

Even when faced with a red light, they crossed it without hesitation.

Fortunately, the driver was experienced, and no accidents occurred along the way.

They arrived at the hospital, dozens of kilometers away, in less than twenty minutes.

"Thank you so much, you're such a kind person."

After getting off the bus, the child's mother thanked the driver and then hurriedly left with her child in her arms.

"No, it's alright, as long as the child is safe."

The driver sighed and silently took out a half-smoked cigarette.

The cigarette holder shows charred marks from burning.

This can be seen from this detail.

The driver was in dire financial straits.

Perhaps that's why he gave passengers a ride along the way.

But they had already passed their destination. Lin Beichen and Yu Feng looked at each other in silence, having not said much earlier.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I was so focused on getting there that I missed my stop."

"I'll take you back right away."

The driver repeatedly apologized to Lin Beichen and Yu Feng.

The customer is king; he doesn't want to be complained about, and he's counting on earning a meager income by driving. He works during the day and drives at night—that's the only way to make ends meet.

"It's alright, we're not in a hurry. But you just ran so many red lights..."

Yu Feng grinned, still feeling terrified when he thought about it.

The driver's driving skills are indeed remarkable, but he has run seven red lights since the start of the trip.

I'm afraid I'll lose my driver's license.

Given the severity of the situation, the vehicle might even be impounded.

"Oh no! I almost forgot about that! We're doomed, everything's ruined!"

The driver's face turned deathly pale. In his panic just now, seeing how seriously ill the child was, he hadn't thought of anything else. Now that he had calmed down, he panicked.

“It’s not as serious as you think. There’s more to the story. Just report the facts as they are, and there won’t be any problems,” Yu Feng said, patting the driver’s shoulder reassuringly.

These words eased the driver's tension slightly.

"Thank you, young man. Shall I take you home?"

“This time, it was my sixth brother who was dishonest, taking a detour and wasting a lot of your time.”

The driver looked ashamed, and his smile seemed forced.

"It's alright, we happen to have some business to attend to here, so we won't trouble you."

Yu Feng replied nonchalantly. He and Lin Beichen didn't have any urgent matters to attend to.

……

"When did you become so easy to talk to?"

Lin Beichen asked, half-jokingly.

When Lin Beichen asked him, Yu Feng replied nonchalantly:

"Actually, I'm very curious, Brother Lin Beichen, did you already see through something?"

"The calamity that has befallen him must still be unresolved, right? I suspect the subsequent developments will be quite interesting."

"You even noticed that?"

Lin Beichen looked slightly surprised, and his eyes revealed approval.

"Of course, even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run. Having followed Brother Lin Beichen for so long, I've learned a thing or two." Yu Feng's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of smugness.

To be honest, he saw only a limited number of clues.

Only then did he inquire about the subsequent developments from Lin Beichen.

"They might come after us again after this incident, and then you'll understand."

"really?"

……

As Lin Beichen had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had.

After Lao Liu explained the situation that day, the law enforcement officers did not reprimand him.

After careful consideration, law enforcement officers decided to have Lao Liu find witnesses.

All that is required is proof from the party concerned.

"We won't make things difficult for you. As long as the situation is true, we can naturally handle it leniently."

The law enforcement officer smiled gently. (End of Chapter)
