Amid the ongoing pandemic, the small-town citizens of Southeast Asia are feeling uneasy, and the situation is already volatile.
Lin Yang's behavior would be a serious violation of laws and regulations under normal circumstances, let alone at such a sensitive juncture.
Liu Baohua glanced down at his phone screen.
The screen was filled with the word "execution," which put him in a great mood.
Just what he wanted!
The reporter's dark camera was pointed at Lin Yang, and the soldiers' dark gun barrels were also pointed at him, like hundreds of eyes from hell, watching him intently, ready to take Lin Yang's life at any moment.
I thought Lin Yang would be so scared that he would kneel down and beg for mercy.
What Liu Baohua didn't expect was that even at this critical moment when he could lose his head at any time, Lin Yang's face remained expressionless.
It was as if the person facing a life-or-death crisis was someone else, not him.
"What on earth are you doing?!"
Jackson's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared at the top of his lungs.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Lin Yang didn't lie, he can cure illnesses, he really can!"
"You've misunderstood Lin Yang about the General's matter!"
Because he shouted so hard, Jackson's voice became extremely hoarse after only a few shouts.
Even so, no one gave him a second glance.
To the Southeast Asian military, every word Lin Yang and Jackson uttered was a desperate struggle.
A profound sense of despair and helplessness overwhelmed Jackson.
With tears in his eyes, he belatedly realized how Lin Yang felt when faced with countless unfounded accusations and discriminatory treatment.
Buzzing—
Two helicopters flew in from the sky.
"Good heavens..."
Lin Yang looked up, a smile playing on his lips.
That's quite a show of force.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he had committed some heinous crime.
Let him guess whether this grand gesture was the idea of the renowned Mr. Ouyang, or arranged by Liu Baohua.
"superior!"
Seeing Lin Yang standing motionless, Liu Baohua assumed that Lin Yang was scared out of his wits. He laughed loudly and gave an order for Karen to immediately lead the army to surround Lin Yang and Jackson.
He smiled ingratiatingly at Ouyang Jianfei: "Mr. Ouyang, you're right. A doctor like Lin Yang, who has neither medical skills nor moral character, is not worthy of competing with us for the cake."
"With the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, as long as the two of us work together tacitly, we won't have to worry about not making money."
"Lin Yang is doomed now! Haha!"
Ouyang Jianfei remained silent, his face full of arrogance, clearly showing that he didn't take Liu Baohua seriously.
Back home, Su Xiaoxiao was so anxious she was about to jump up and down.
She made countless calls to international embassies. At first, they were very polite, but when they heard that Su Xiaoxiao wanted them to rush to rescue Lin Yang, they made a complete 180-degree turn.
They either pass the buck, saying it's not their responsibility.
Or they would give vague answers, saying they would report the matter to their superiors and wait for their decision.
Later, the embassy simply stopped answering the phone altogether.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Yang, you traveled all the way to Southeast Asia to support the fight against the infectious disease outbreak, but unexpectedly, not only did you not receive the treatment you deserved, but you were also..."
Jackson choked up halfway through his sentence.
"Forget it, my parents have already died in this infectious disease outbreak anyway, so there's no point in me living alone. It doesn't matter if I die, but you kindly saved people and shouldn't be wronged like this!"
The atmosphere was as tense as a taut string.
"Lin Yang, aren't you going to admit your mistake?"
For some reason, the more Lin Yang acted with such unyielding resolve, the angrier Liu Baohua became, and the more she wanted to see Lin Yang back down: "Beg me, and I'll put in a good word for you!"
"ridiculous."
Lin Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
His eyes seemed to hold dark clouds, or a mass of ink, so dark and thick that they couldn't be dissolved.
Only those who are incompetent and narrow-minded would try to gain confidence by forcing others to submit to them.
He reached into his robes, took out a silver needle, and clenched his teeth tightly.
He only brought forty silver needles with him on this trip, as a backup for acupuncture.
There are more than eighty people in front of us.
I don't know how long I can hold on...
Just as Lin Yang held the silver needles between his fingers, preparing to use a flying needle technique to eliminate a few soldiers, the small door of the wooden house not far away suddenly opened, and a middle-aged couple and their three children walked out.
"Stop! You can't treat Mr. Lin Yang like this!"
This was the last household that Lin Yang and Jackson had persuaded to take the traditional Chinese medicine they had just been offering.
The moment the army came into view, they had just taken the bowl from Jackson's hand and hadn't even had a chance to say thank you when they turned around and saw the menacing troop. They were so frightened that they shut the doors and windows tightly and dared not breathe.
"Ten minutes ago, my child was on the verge of death at home. It was Mr. Lin Yang and this soldier who gave me medicine that saved my child."
“We just heard the whole thing and saw the live news broadcast on TV. The headlines said they deserved to die, but they are not sinners. They are heroes sent by God to save refugees!”
Lin Yang was surprised that this family would stand up for him. He paused, lost in thought, and almost dropped the needle in his hand.
In an instant, a feeling of warmth welled up in my heart.
Judging from the tense and frightened expressions on the faces of the middle-aged couple, it must have taken a great deal of courage for them to leave their home and make that decision.
The couple met Lin Yang's gaze and revealed simple, sincere smiles.
The three children nodded in agreement, timid and even trembling with fear, but encouraged by their parents, they stepped forward to try to seek justice for Lin Yang and Jackson.
The moment the wooden cabin door opened, half of the soldiers, well-trained, turned their guns towards the family. Hearing the couple's words, they were astonished and looked at each other in bewilderment.
The live stream chat exploded with excitement.
"What? This medicine from Lin Yang actually works?"
"Wasn't Lin Yang supposed to be a conman?"
"Are you all brainless? Please, go online and look up Lin Yang and Zhongxing Medical Clinic. If even Lin Yang is a charlatan, then there is no one in the entire Chinese medicine community who can be called a doctor."
"Those rumors were all paid trolls hired by a certain traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Anyone who believes them will be laughed at for life."
"If the short soldier next to Lin Yang was pretending to be stupid with him because he was afraid of being seen as a traitor, I could understand. But why would the civilians nearby stand up for Lin Yang?"
"Oh no, I feel like there's going to be a twist."
No one knew that an even bigger twist was yet to come.
A hundred miles away, Luna and Marilyn appeared at the end of the path. The mother and daughter were extremely anxious, running all the way until their clothes were soaked with sweat.
Behind them were about a dozen local residents.
These were all beneficiaries of the medicine Lin Yang had distributed when he passed by their homes.
"Hurry, everyone! We can't let them accidentally kill Mr. Lin Yang!"
