Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 52: Woodpecker Army

"How ridiculous!" Mrs. Qin's face changed color as red as Guan Gong's when she heard it, and she roared: "She waved her hand and signaled her men to take Yun Ximo away. She didn't want to hear any more nonsense from her!" She ordered, and her tone was already a little hysterical.

At this critical moment, Yun Ling rushed out! He protected Yun Ximo under his "armor" and said in a voice as cold as the wind: "Madam Qin, please be mindful of your words and actions. This is my Yun family's territory, not a place where your Qin family can act recklessly. Do you think I'm just a decoration? You dare to take my niece away in front of me? Qin family, you are really good!"

His gaze was as cold as ice, staring blankly at Madam Qin. His tone was so cold it could make penguins in Antarctica wear down jackets, carrying a chill that could freeze ice cream even harder. "Although I have been away from East City for four years and rarely set foot in the circles of wealthy families, this does not mean that I can tolerate anyone wantonly trampling on the dignity of my Yun family."

"Is the Qin family planning to change East City to 'Qin City'? They're so ambitious, they're not even afraid of getting hurt. Do they really think they're the local tyrants who can do whatever they want, bullying others and walking around with impunity?"

Mrs. Qin was "stimulated" by Yun Ling's words. She felt like she was struck by lightning and took several steps back. Her face was blue and white. She obviously did not expect Yun Ling to stop her. She had a tough attitude and protected Yun Ximo tightly like an eagle protecting its calf.

And those loyal subordinates who followed her were also stunned, as if they were under a "frozen spell". They looked at each other, and their hearts were beating loudly: "Should we go or not? If we go, we are afraid of being criticized; if we don't go, it seems that we are not loyal enough."

The atmosphere was so tense that even water could be squeezed out of it. Even the air was afraid to move around, for fear that they would accidentally encounter bad luck and be "killed instantly" by Yun Ling's sharp eyes.

"Yun Ling, you..." Madam Qin suppressed her anger and tried to regain her dignity. "I'm helping you solve the problem. Do you really want to become an enemy of our Qin family just because of this problem?"

Yun Ling's tone was filled with unspoken emotions when he heard this. "Madam Qin, your words are truly ridiculous. You seem to have missed the point. You're saying that you've failed to educate your son properly and have allowed him to do evil. If it weren't for my niece's sharp mind and extraordinary wit, I'm afraid she would have become another innocent victim of your son's evil deeds."

Yun Ling stood still like a rock, his eyes cold as he gestured to the assistant behind him. The assistant immediately understood, stepped forward quickly, and respectfully handed over the tablet computer with both hands.

Yun Ling took the tablet, operated it a few times skillfully, and then said, "Mrs. Qin, stop talking nonsense. The evidence you want is right here."

Mrs. Qin frowned, anger flashing across her face.

She obviously didn't expect Yun Ling to produce the so-called "evidence" so quickly.

She reached out to stop the tablet, a disdainful smile on her lips, and in her smile, she was very confident: "Just based on this, you want to convict my son? Do you think my Qin family is a pushover? We, the Qin family, will not take such tricks seriously."

Mrs. Qin didn't actually watch the video.

She had already made up her mind. In her opinion, if there was any evidence in the video that was unfavorable to her son, even if her son had done something wrong, so what? The Qin family was a huge underworld force with connections everywhere. Such a small matter was just a piece of cake and could be easily settled.

Besides, isn't Yun Ximo fine now? She hasn't suffered any substantial injuries, or irreversible consequences, and no one has died.

In her opinion, this was just a joke between children, but Yun Ling made such a big fuss, which was really an exaggeration. She even thought that Yun Ling wanted to go against her Qin family over such a small matter, which was ridiculous.

Mrs. Qin sneered inwardly. She didn't believe Yun Ximo would be so foolish as to call the police, let alone Yun Ling's small matter. In her opinion, Yun Ling should be a rational and intelligent person, and would not do such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself.

All this was just Yun Ling's bluffing, trying to intimidate the Qin family.

Yun Ling's expression grew increasingly indifferent, and he said calmly, "Madam Qin, your reaction is not beyond my expectations.

Madam Qin's expression remained calm and composed, but she revealed a hint of regret at Yun Ximo's blatant disrespect. However, it was truly unwise to choose to become an enemy of the Qin family over such a trivial matter.

"Hmph, you dare to fight with the Qin family?" Madam Qin sneered in her heart. Yun Ximo, a mere woman, how much waves can she make?
"Once she leaves the Yun family, she won't even know how she died." Madam Qin seemed to have foreseen Yun Ximo's tragic end. In her opinion, Yun Ximo's actions were like hitting a rock with an egg, bringing humiliation upon herself.

"Yun Ximo, do you think you can overturn the truth and turn the world upside down with just the so-called evidence in your hands?" Madam Qin sneered. "In this circle, connections and influence are the real trump cards. I can easily gather a group of witnesses whose testimony will be enough to portray you as a vicious woman who deliberately seduced my son by any means necessary, even directing and acting out the aphrodisiac stunt. And when you failed, you were so ashamed and angry that you turned violent on my son."

Mrs. Qin said this and slowly took out a storage device from her pocket. "The video of you abusing my son in Shi Heshen's villa that day is now in my hands."

Facing Mrs. Qin's aggressiveness, Yun Ximo walked out nonchalantly from behind Yun Ling, her eyes clear enough to hold fish.

Her tone was as calm as boiled water. "Mrs. Qin, you're so aggressive, I thought you were here to convene a meeting to amend the law. I just did some small acts of 'self-defense'. Is that so serious?"

"What's going on? Has the world become ruled by the 'Qin's Law', with justice on hold? Your young master is a 'walking tyrant,' forcing weak and helpless animals to avoid him, while we, the innocent victims, are being deprived of even the right to raise our hands to block him? What kind of universal truth is this?"

"Or do you have some secret code in your possession, with the clause 'My son can do whatever he wants, and everyone else can only be beaten' engraved on it? Oh, I must quickly find my lawyer friend and see if he can get me a copy, so I can feel more secure when I go out for a walk in the future!"

Yun Ximo continued, "Each of us, regardless of our social status, should stand under the same legal sky and enjoy equal protection and constraints. If your son made a mistake, he should accept the due punishment, instead of relying on his family background to evade responsibility and stubbornly turning black into white. Under the sharp eyes of the law, we must all be treated equally. If we are wrong, we must admit it, and we must stand at attention when we are beaten, right?"

So, Yun Ximo raised her delicate little chin slightly. "If you say the victim's self-defense is wrong, it's simply giving the green light to violence, giving the perpetrators some sweet treats, and telling them, 'Go ahead, it's okay!' This is completely contrary to the harmonious society and the rule of law we advocate every day! We must understand that the law is the iron-faced and selfless big brother who protects social fairness and justice, and morality is the yardstick that we use in our hearts to measure good and evil. Anyone who dares to challenge these two big guys will be greeted by the cold stares of the whole society and the iron fist of the law!"

Mrs. Qin's face turned from red to white, then from white to purple, and finally turned directly into the "myocardial infarction color".

Yun Ximo gave her a vivid "legal education lesson".

Mrs. Qin was so angry that she opened her mouth but couldn't squeeze out a word. She failed to control her expression, not to mention being choked by the legal provisions!

Yun Ling, standing by, couldn't help but laugh. "'Killing' without shedding blood, oh no, it's 'infuriating' without even breathing! I have to hold it together. I can't laugh, I can't laugh. My image is important, my image is important..." Yun Ling desperately pressed the corners of his mouth, trying so hard to hold back a smile that his handsome face was almost cramping. He silently said to himself, "I can't laugh, I can't laugh. If I laugh, I'll ruin my image. I have to maintain my aloof persona!"

At this moment, the door of the Yun family was suddenly kicked open to become an open viewing balcony, and a "suspect" was hurriedly welcomed.

That’s right, it was Mrs. Qin’s beloved son—Qin Chen.

Qin Chen had a bandage on his leg and walked like a penguin that had just learned to walk on a tightrope, but he was escorted to the Yun family by a group of bodyguards who formed a "human protective cushion".

He heard the housekeeper say - Madam Qin, leading the eighteen bodyguards, came to the Yun family in a mighty force.

However, Qin Chen waited and waited, from the dawn to the sunset, but Yun Ximo did not appear in front of him.

Now that's good, Master Qin is anxious, please come here yourself.

Qin Chen looked at Yun Ximo with dark eyes, and the memory of being pressed to the ground and rubbed by her in his mind rushed out like a flood.

The image of him lying on the hospital bed began to play in 3D loop again. He couldn't help but shudder when he saw his painful struggle. It was as if the pain and fear had crawled out from the abyss of memory and wrapped around him again, making him tremble all over.

But then again, Qin Chen is the young master of the Qin family after all, and face-saving is more important to him than a city wall.

He first took a deep breath and played the game of "Who's afraid of whom? Let's wrestle" with the little devil of fear in his body.

After a fierce battle of "you suppress me, I suppress you", Qin Chen finally kicked the little devil back into the dark little room in his heart.

Although his voice had a bit of a tremor when he spoke, like "the wind rustling the leaves and the birds trembling on the branches", he still managed to show off by wearing the "Emperor's New Clothes" in an elegant and classy manner.

He threatened Yun Ximo, "Yun Ximo, your doomsday is coming!"

Faced with Qin Chen's threat, which was enough to make even a coward wet his pants, Yun Ximo not only didn't even glance at Qin Chen, she didn't even bother to look him in the eye. Her voice was as cold as boiled water: "You came at the perfect time. The police don't have to run to the Qin family and can do their job right here."

After saying this, he added a subtle smile that said, "You're on your own."

Qin Chen heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. The anger on his face twisted into a strange sneer. "Call the police? Your joke is even worse than a cold joke. I want to see which ignorant police officer has the audacity to put a silver bracelet on him."

He needs to first consider whether his police badge is important enough!

Madam Qin spoke arrogantly, comforting her beloved son who was almost fainting from anger, "Son, don't get angry about such a trivial matter. We, the Qin family, don't need to bother with a small fry!"

This was said in a high-handed and arrogant manner.

In the eyes of the Qin family, Yun Ximo was just like an ant that could be easily crushed by a kick. Even "mentioning her as a human being" was a compliment to her.

Yun Ximo took a few steps back and slid into the embrace of the sofa, still mumbling softly: "Damn, my mouth is almost getting calluses from being worn out."

She stretched out her delicate hand and knocked on the coffee table, like an ancient hero calling for the waiter to serve the food.

The servant next to her was quick-witted and immediately walked up to Yun Ximo and poured tea for her with skillful movements.

Yun Ximo slowly picked up the teacup and blew gently at the rising hot steam.

On the other side, Qin Chen was furious, with anger clearly on his face.

He waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards beside him to rush forward and grab Yun Ximo to vent their hatred.

At this time, a large group of woodpeckers flew in from outside the Yun family's window. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and their target was locked on - Madam Qin and Qin Chen!
Mrs. Qin had never seen such a scene before. Her usually dignified demeanor was instantly frightened out of her wits. She screamed so loudly that even the neighbor's dog was probably shaken with fear.

As for Qin Chen, who was already covered in wounds, he now became the "special target" of the woodpeckers, especially the wounds wrapped in bandages that were targeted with pecking.

The pain was so excruciating that he instantly turned into a helpless "mama's boy" and wailed, "Mom, save me!"

But Madam Qin was already in such a desperate situation that she had no time to care about Qin Chen. She could only dodge and wail, "Son, save yourself! Mom is also in danger!"

Yun Ling looked at the vast and powerful army of woodpeckers in front of him, and he fell into deep thought as if his acupoints were pressed.

As for the bodyguards, they stood by, their faces hesitant, their hands and feet stiff, their minds torn: "Should we go in? Or not? If we go in, we're afraid we'll be mistaken for accomplices and be "pecked" together; if we don't, it would seem we're not professional enough, and our jobs are about to be smashed by bird shit."

Yun Ximo was overjoyed. "So the little sparrow didn't coax me?! Even though the helper arrived late, at least they made it in time. She was so excited that she almost jumped up and down."
