Chapter 420: Crusade

The car quickly arrived at the outskirts of the reserve. In addition to the search and rescue team members who had been waiting outside, there were also parents of students who arrived today.

When Lin Ting's car came over, he happened to see the parents pulling the collars of the search and rescue team members and making trouble.

"You received a call for help yesterday. Why didn't you enter the reserve to rescue them yesterday? Why did you wait until this morning? You know that if you delayed overnight, it would very likely put the children in danger. If anything happens to my children, I will definitely not let you go."

The woman pulled a member by the collar, her eyes bloodshot and fierce.

Because of the woman's words, she successfully stirred up the emotions of the other parents, and they all stood up to accuse you, "That's right, if anything happens to our children, I will definitely not let you go. I don't know how many rescue opportunities we have wasted in just one night."

Lin Ting heard this the moment she got out of the car. She could have stayed out of it, but in the end, she couldn't help but retort, "If you care so much about the children, your precious children, why did you allow them into the reserve? From the moment they entered the reserve, they were breaking the law."

"Besides, you already received the news that the child had entered the reserve yesterday. Why didn't you dare come yesterday and had to rush over this morning?"

The woman who had just been pulling the rescue team member immediately let go of the collar and turned to stare at Lin Ting fiercely, "Who are you? What gives you the right to say that to us? After we received the news, we immediately bought the earliest bus ticket and came here."

"They are paid by our taxpayers, so why should they not care about our children?"

Several people were talking at once and criticizing.

Lin Ting seemed to agree with what they said and nodded.

"I want to ask, do you know how dangerous the protected area is?"

Several parents looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the women, dressed brightly, scoffed, "It's just a broken forest. How dangerous can it be?"

Lin Ting laughed instantly. "If it's not dangerous, why are your children trapped in there and unable to get out? No wonder these students risked their lives to go in and livestream. It turns out that their parents are so ignorant."

"If it were just an ordinary forest, there wouldn't be so many staff members guarding it, and there wouldn't be banners telling you how dangerous it is. But this forest has black bears, tigers, leopards, giant pandas, crocodiles, piranhas, and even wild animals you've never seen before. How could there be any danger in this broken forest?"

"This forest stretches endlessly for thousands of kilometers. There's no signal inside, and you might get lost even if you enter during the day, not to mention at night when the miasma is so thick that you can't tell the direction at all. In such a situation, if you encounter wild animals, you'll just have to wait for death. I believe your children must have known the situation in the reserve in advance. If they want to die, there's no need to drag the search and rescue team members with them. The search and rescue team members are also human beings. They have parents, children, and wives. Why should they risk their lives for your children who want to die?

If they didn't want to save people, they wouldn't have prepared to go into the mountains at dawn and just waited there."

"They do take taxpayers' money, but they don't have to do life-threatening work for a few thousand dollars. Would you be willing to do such a life-threatening job for the same few thousand dollars? They can't even take care of their own children, yet they're pretending to love them so much."

According to the rescued people, they have been trapped in there for a week and did not notice that their children are missing during this week. They don’t know how you can be parents.

Think about your own failures as parents before you blame others."

"Saving people means saving others while protecting your own life, not sacrificing your own life."

The parents who were confronted by Lin Ting were speechless.

Captain Qian, Captain Han, Deputy Section Chief Zhao, and Assistant Zhang all wanted to applaud Lin. As public officials, they were not suitable to say these words to these parents. In fact, they even needed to appease the people in such a situation. But Miss Lin said it was just right.

His words were so thought-provoking and expressed their real thoughts, they even made a few parents' faces turn pale.

The eyes of several team members on the side instantly became red. Some of them usually thanked them, while others blamed them, but few spoke up for them, especially Lin Ting, who spoke a few words that were all their inner thoughts after being wronged.

The brightly dressed woman was so angry at Lin Ting that she gasped and pointed at Lin Ting's nose and said, "What's your name? I want to complain to you. This is how you treat the people. The people just said a few words of appeal, and you jumped up and confronted me."

Lin Ting folded his arms across his chest and looked at the other person calmly. "I'm sorry, I'm not a public official, nor do I work here. It's useless for you to complain to me. The most I can do is to help out and help them find someone."

"By the way, what's your child's name?"

The woman was confused by Lin Ting's question, but she finally realized and said her child's name, "Sun Qian."

"You ask my child what to do? What do you want to do?"

The woman stared at Lin Ting warily.

Lin Ting shrugged and looked at the other person, with a nice smile on his lips. "Nothing special, just asking. Because I kind of hate you, I won't help you find your daughter. If you want me to help you find her, you need to beg me and give me money."

No wonder this woman is so annoying, it turns out she is Sun Qian's parent.

She remembered that Captain Qian had mentioned in the information he gave her that Sun Qian's family had some money, and parents with a little money like this tend to be bossy and look down on others.

Captain Qian looked at Lin Ting in surprise, not knowing what Lin Ting was doing. The Lin family was not short of money, so why did she want the other party's money?

The woman thought Lin Ting was going to do something to her, but after hearing what Lin Ting said, she immediately relaxed and looked at him with disdain. "Don't worry, with these search and rescue team members, I won't use you, let alone ask you for money. Just give up on this idea."

Lin Ting nodded, "Okay, I'll remember what you said."

A member of the search and rescue team lowered his voice and reminded, "Sun Qian's parents, I suggest you don't offend Miss Lin. Miss Lin is very capable, and we will need Miss Lin as our ceremonial guard when we enter the mountains this time.

You may not know this, but Miss Lin has a close relationship with the animals in the forest. She can manipulate them to help find people. Even Baichuan was rescued by Miss Lin. It will be of no benefit to you to offend Miss Lin. We may not be able to rescue your child alone."

Sun Qian's parents' faces immediately turned purple with anger. "Then why would I need you? How can you boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige?"
