Just as Zhao Yi was about to fall, Lin Yu quickly went over to support him and transferred a wisp of true energy to him.
He shook his head helplessly and said, "You really value money more than your life! Is your family short of money?"
Zhao Yi took a breath and shook his head, saying, "My daughter runs a company and owes some money. She's a bit strapped for cash lately, so I need to earn more for her!"
Lin Yu said helplessly, "Health is the foundation of everything. If you don't get treatment in time, it will only cost more money in the future! Listen to me, go to the hospital first. You were injured for the country, and the country will take responsibility for you. The army will cover all your medical expenses!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi's eyes immediately reddened, and he choked out, "Thank you, Commander, thank you. I, Old Zhao, am ashamed!"
Lin Yu shook his head, "It's not that you should feel ashamed, it's that we should feel ashamed. Someone who has sacrificed so much for the country has not received proper resettlement. It's my... it's my dereliction of duty!"
Lin Yu felt extremely heartbroken. It seemed that there were still many things that were not perfect in the Fengtian Army, and he, as the young marshal, had really failed in his duty!
Zhao Yi was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He shakily pulled a thick envelope out of his pocket.
He said, "Sir, this is the money I've saved up for half a year. Please give it to my daughter..."
Lin Yu frowned slightly. "You're in the hospital, don't you want her to come and take care of you?"
Zhao Yi hurriedly shook his head: "You absolutely mustn't tell her. Work is already giving her enough of a headache. Don't bother her!"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then nodded and took the envelope. "Okay, then give me your daughter's address, and I'll send it to her later!"
A moment later, Fang Wenhai called an ambulance and took Zhao Yi to the hospital.
The three then got into the car, and Fang Wenhai excitedly greeted Lin Yu, "Young Marshal, I have long admired your name, and now I finally meet you in person!"
Lin Yu nodded. "Let's get straight to the point. The main reason I came to Qing City this time is to investigate the Hongwu Sect!"
"Hongwu Sect?" Fang Wenhai's face immediately darkened. He said, "Indeed, this Hongwu Sect has been going too far lately. Young Marshal, you really need to keep a close eye on them!"
Fang Wenhai then poured out his grievances.
“Young Marshal, you have no idea how lawless the Hongwu Sect is! They have connections in the government, and they have people in both the political and business circles. Their members often commit crimes and are arrogant and domineering. They don’t even respect me! Of course, it’s also because I’m not capable enough that they are so arrogant!”
Fang Wenhai was both angry and ashamed, and took all the blame upon himself.
Lin Yu shook his head. "It's not your fault. This force is indeed very powerful!"
Fang Wenhai sneered, "Young Marshal, to be honest, I've already planned a raid. I'm going to find an opportunity when the Hongwu Sect has a gathering, and wipe them all out in one fell swoop! What do you think?"
Before Lin Yu could speak, Feng Jiu quickly waved her hand, "Old Fang, you're too naive! The power behind them is beyond your imagination. If you really do that, you'll only end up losing more than you gain!"
Fang Wenhai was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat puzzled. "General Feng Jiu, isn't Hongwu Sect just an ordinary martial arts organization? No matter how powerful it is, can it be more powerful than the government? As long as we have enough troops, we can definitely bring them to justice!"
In fact, Fang Wenhai had been planning this for a while, treating Hongwumen as a gang to be attacked. Moreover, he believed that as long as he had enough determination and manpower, he could definitely accomplish this.
However, Feng Jiu shook her head, "You're overthinking it. If Hongwu Sect were really that simple, the young marshal wouldn't have come in person!"
As Feng Jiu spoke, he glanced at Lin Yu, and seeing Lin Yu nod, he continued, "This Hongwu Sect is related to a special family, and this family's bloodline is very special..."
Feng Jiu then recounted the story of the Undead Clan. Fang Wenhai was shocked to hear this, never expecting that the Hongwu Sect would have such a terrifying race supporting it!
At the same time, he felt a lingering fear. He knew a little about the ways of the martial world. Although he had a gun, it would only take a moment for those masters to wipe him and his brothers out.
He couldn't help but shake his head and say, "I thought this was a small matter that I could handle myself without bothering the young marshal, so I didn't report it. Now it seems I was naive!"
Fang Wenhai smiled bitterly. He had originally planned to use this incident to achieve some political success, but now he realized that such an idea was undoubtedly foolish.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Your courage and determination show that you are no mediocre official and live up to the reputation of our Floating Pagoda Army! But now that I'm here, leave this matter to me. You just need to cooperate with me!"
Fang Wenhai nodded repeatedly, "Absolutely! With just a word from the young marshal, I, old Fang, would go through fire and water! I would die without hesitation!"
"Oh, right, young marshal, there's something else you might not know!" Fang Wenhai suddenly said.
Lin Yu frowned. "What's wrong?"
Fang Wenhai said, "Because several of our military units were defeated when they came to challenge the Hongwu School before, a young man is very dissatisfied and recently wants to challenge the leader of the Hongwu School! So, before dealing with the Hongwu School, can we wait a bit and watch this good show first!"
"A young upstart? Who?" Feng Jiu frowned and asked.
Fang Wenhai smiled and glanced at Feng Jiu, saying, "This kid was personally promoted by you, and he's known as 'Little Yama.' You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Feng Jiu's eyes flashed. "You mean, Yuan Ye?"
Fang Wenhai nodded, "Yes, it is indeed Little Yama, Yuan Ye!"
Feng Jiu laughed and said, "It really is this kid! I remember he was a troublemaker back then, and I banished him to Qing City. Now it seems he's got guts!"
Fang Wenhai laughed and said, "That's right. In the entire Qing City garrison, I think only this kid has guts. He's much better than that old bastard Li Rui!"
Li Rui is the commander of the Qing City Garrison Regiment! He's also one of Feng Jiu's former subordinates!
Hearing this, Feng Jiu frowned and asked, "What did Li Rui say? The Hongwu Sect has been arrogant for so long, and it has even bullied the military and robbed soldiers. Why doesn't he do anything about it!"
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because it only made Fang Wenhai angrier. "And you still dare to say that! I don't know what this old guy is thinking. Is he just old or scared? I mentioned to him before that I wanted him to cooperate with me in dealing with the Hongwu Sect. What did this old guy say? He said that this was not under the jurisdiction of their team, that he didn't want to get involved, and that he wouldn't allow his subordinates to get involved either!"
"Even this time, Yuan Ye challenged the outstanding member of the Hongwu Sect, wanting to save face for our army. However, he used the excuse of disobeying orders to issue a notice to the entire army and even fined the person's salary!" Fang Wenhai said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu and Feng Jiu both frowned, their eyes flashing with a chilling light.
"I really misjudged Li Rui! He has completely lost the spirit of the military!" Feng Jiu said angrily.
