"Isn't he just an injured thug?"

Seeing how fierce her second uncle was to her brother, Zhang Xiaoqin immediately said with a resentful look.

"A thug?!"

Zhang Ting was so angry that he laughed. He released Zhang Xiaotian, took out his phone, pulled out a video, and shoved it in front of the two of them.

"Open your eyes and let me see clearly!"

That was a fragment of footage from the internal surveillance system of the "Green Source Ecological Plantation". Although the image quality was somewhat blurry and the camera was dead, Lin Li's figure could be clearly seen.

In the video, Lin Li is seen weaving through a group of dozens of armed thugs.

Every time a strike is made, someone is bound to fall.

"This...this is special effects, right?"

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't believe it. How could anyone in this world dodge a bullet?!

"Special effects my ass!"

Zhang Ting put away her phone, yelling in exasperation, "This is a true story that just happened the day before yesterday!"

"He single-handedly fought off more than thirty armed thugs and rescued over fifty hostages!"

"You think he's badly injured? That's because he was shot four times! An ordinary person would be dead by now! But look at him! He's still as energetic as ever!"

Looking at her nephew and niece, who both looked dazed, Zhang Ting sighed, "How dare you call him a waste when you two rookies haven't even touched the threshold of internal energy?"

"Forget it, maybe you just don't have the chance. Go back to your hometown!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhang Ting felt she had been more than kind to her family; given Lin Li's current reputation, plenty of people would want to get close to him.

These two young kids are ignorant, so there's nothing we can do about it.

"elder brother……"

Zhang Xiaoqin stared blankly at her brother, filled with remorse. "We...we were really wrong?"

Zhang Xiaotian's arrogance vanished completely. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he suddenly said, "Not only are you wrong, you're terribly wrong!"

He grabbed his sister's hand and rushed upstairs without a word, shouting, "Quick! Let's go back! We have to get Mr. Lin to accept us, no matter what!"

"If we miss this opportunity, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives!"

In the ward.

Su Lin and Zhang Ting have already left, and Lin Li is resting with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Two figures rushed in, and before Lin Li could even open his eyes, he heard two muffled thuds.

Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoqin knelt upright in front of the hospital bed, the sound of their knees hitting the floor was painful to hear.

"Mr. Lin! We were wrong!"

The two siblings spoke in unison, their heads hitting the ground hard. When they raised their heads again, their foreheads were already red.

"We were blind and looked down on people!"

Zhang Xiaotian looked at Lin Li with fanaticism and shouted, "Please take us in! We'll do anything for you, even be your slaves!"

"Yes! We'd be willing to do anything, even serve tea and water, wash feet, and empty urinals!"

Zhang Xiaoqin also urgently stated, "If you don't agree, we'll kneel here forever! We'll kneel until we die!"

Lin Li looked at these two clowns who were arrogant just a second ago but were now kneeling and begging for mercy, and felt his temples throbbing.

What is all this about?

What he hates most is this kind of moral blackmail-style pleading.

One second he was belittling you to nothing, the next he was bowing down to you when he realized how capable you were. This attitude of being arrogant at first and obsequious at the next made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Are you two out of your minds?"

Lin Li frowned, his tone unfriendly: "Weren't you quite assertive just now? Didn't you say I wasn't worthy?"

"What, now that you've discovered some value in this 'brute,' you want to come back and suck up to me?"

"Get up and get out of here. I don't have time to watch your sob stories."

"No! We won't get up!"

Zhang Xiaotian is also very stubborn; once he's made up his mind, he won't turn back.

He straightened his back and knelt upright: "Mr. Lin, we were indeed blind just now! My second uncle has already told us about your situation."

"My sibling and I have practiced martial arts since we were young, and we admire people like you the most!"

"You are a true hero, a true hero! We were so ignorant and arrogant before!"

"As long as you're willing to take us in, even if you beat or scold us, we'll have no complaints!"

He was willing to do anything as long as he could stay by Lin Li's side!

"Boss, please give me a chance!"

Zhang Xiaoqin, her eyes red-rimmed, said, "We're really capable! And we're strong. If anyone dares to disrespect you in the future, we'll be the first to rush up and bite them to death!"

"You two... fine, kneel if you want."

Lin Li rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to these two idiots, and simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Just then, the ward door was gently pushed open.

Bai Nian'an walked in carrying a tray with gauze, scissors, and medicine for changing dressings.

Upon entering, she was stunned to see two living people kneeling on the ground. She glanced at Lin Li, who was pretending to be dead on the bed, but didn't ask any further questions.

"Master, it's time to change the dressing."

Bai Nian'an walked to the bedside, put down the tray, and said gently.

Lin Li opened one eye and looked at her helplessly: "Could you please get rid of these two door gods first? They're in the way."

Bai Nian'an turned to look at the Zhang siblings and said calmly, "Do you want to ask Mr. Lin for a favor, or do you want Mr. Lin to take you in?"

"We want to follow Mr. Lin!"

"Then stop kneeling. What's the use of just kneeling? You have to do the work."

Bai Nian'an pointed to the bandages on Lin Li's body: "I need to change Mr. Lin's dressing. You two come and lend a hand."

Lin Li glanced at her helplessly; that wasn't what he meant!

But because there were outsiders present, he didn't want to embarrass his apprentice, so he had no choice but to take the blame.

"yes!"

Seeing that Lin Li didn't object, the two siblings quickly got up from the ground, wiped the sweat from their palms on their clothes, and carefully approached the bedside.

"Be gentle, don't touch the wound."

Bai Nian'an suppressed a laugh and instructed, "Little brother, you hold Mr. Lin's shoulder."

Under her direction, the two siblings began to help remove the bandages from Lin Li's body.

As layers of blood-stained gauze were cut and peeled off, Lin Li's strong and muscular body was gradually revealed to the three men.

The moment the last piece of gauze was removed, three synchronized gasps echoed in the ward.

hiss--

Lin Li's body was covered with countless scars!

Aside from the injuries sustained this time, most of them are old wounds.

This doesn't look like the body of a young man in his twenties! It looks like the body of a seasoned warrior!

Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoqin were both dumbfounded.

They practiced martial arts from a young age, suffered injuries, and encountered ruthless people.

But compared to the person in front of them, what they had experienced before was nothing at all!

"This...this must have involved facing life and death countless times..."

Zhang Xiaotian looked on with admiration. This was a real man!
