Chapter 12: Grabbing the Thickest Leg!

  With that, Li Nian showed no mercy and directly broke the yellow-haired heir's wrist.

  Then, he kicked him, causing the yellow-haired heir to colpse on the ground, unable to get up.

  "Come on, what are you doing? You useless fools, what are you eating from my pocket?" the yellow-haired heir shouted angrily at the two bodyguard martial artists standing nearby.

  The two bodyguards, hearing the command, immediately rushed toward Li Nian with fists raised.

  However, before they could get close, Li Nian simply gave them a cold gnce, freezing them in pce. They couldn't move.

  Li Nian was a psychic-type martial artist. He didn't need to take action himself; with just a look and the power of his psychic abilities, he could easily suppress martial artists at the warrior level.

  After surveying the surroundings, Li Nian dialed a number and spoke into his communication device:

  "Check out Du's Pharmaceutical for me. That name sounds like an unreguted company…"

  Lin Jianhe was stunned by the sudden turn of events. He grabbed Lin Chen's hand and whispered:

  "Ah Chen, who are they? Offending Du's Pharmaceutical will bring a big disaster…"

  Lin Chen's eyes were still a bit red. He looked at Li Nian and Wang Xinyu, not knowing how to expin.

  Logically speaking, although he hadn't signed any confidentiality agreements, the matter of crossing two worlds involved national affairs, so his uncle and aunt shouldn't know about it.

  Fortunately, Wang Xinyu reacted quickly and said:

  "Hello, you must be Lin Jianhe, right?"

  "We are from the military district, here to visit retired veterans… We happened to encounter this scene."

  As she spoke, Wang Xinyu gave a subtle signal, and Li Nian quickly produced a military officer ID.

  Lin Jianhe took the ID with trembling hands, examining it carefully for a while.

  He then saluted, sitting in his wheelchair, and said with clear articution:

  "Seventeenth Battalion of the Spearhead Brigade, retired veteran Lin Jianhe, at your service, sir!"

  Upon seeing Li Nian's military ID, Lin Jianhe no longer had any doubts.

  At this moment, Wang Xinyu also spoke:

  "Uncle Lin, you retired due to injury. You should have informed the country about your difficulties earlier!"

  Lin Jianhe smiled bitterly and said:

  "The country has given us plenty of support. It's just that my youngest daughter has been ill, and our savings were used up treating her..."

  Wang Xinyu then looked toward the bedroom.

  She saw Lin Chen helping a frail girl out of the room.

  Lin Anan, sixteen years old, was lovely and obedient, but she was extremely thin, her skin unnaturally pale.

  Lin Anan had fallen ill with a strange disease two years ago, and since then, each time her illness fred up, she suffered greatly.

  Over the past two years, Lin Jianhe had consulted many famous doctors and spent much of their savings, but her condition hadn't improved.

  Because of this strange illness, Lin Anan's health had always been poor, and she had already been out of school for a long time.

  Lin Chen and Wang Xinyu exchanged a look, and she immediately understood.

  "Uncle Lin, we've come specifically to visit retired military personnel today."

  "We will handle your daughter's medical check-up at the military district."

  "At the same time, we will arrange for you to move into the military housing area as soon as possible. You can move in today…"

  Upon hearing Wang Xinyu's words, Lin Jianhe showed a look of confusion.

  Retired military personnel and their families were indeed eligible for military housing, but it required a lottery, and they had tried for five years without success.

  Was it their lucky day?

  Lin Jianhe didn't question it and was already so moved that his eyes turned red.

  Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his uncle and aunt could move into the military housing area and Anan's illness could be treated, things would be much safer from now on.

  After chatting for a while longer, a few men wearing uniforms entered the house.

  They surveyed the room and then showed a warrant to the yellow-haired heir.

  "Du Jiye, is it? Your Du's Pharmaceutical is suspected of selling substandard nutritional liquids, and you are under arrest."

  "Your father is already in custody, and now it's your turn to come with us."

  The leading officer exchanged a gnce with Li Nian and then proceeded to arrest the yellow-haired heir and the two martial artist bodyguards.

  Lin Chen quietly watched the scene unfold, feeling mixed emotions.

  Du Jiye's father's company, Du's Pharmaceutical, had risen rapidly in recent years. It was a multi-billion-dolr business with a strong reputation in the pharmaceutical industry.

  Yet, this powerful company had suddenly fallen, and in the face of the nation, it was nothing.

  Lin Chen was grateful that he now had backing and support.

  And the "leg" he had grabbed was the thickest one in the entire Blue Star!

  "Ah Chen, are we moving to the military housing area today?" Lin Jianhe asked.

  Lin Chen nodded in confirmation:

  "Yes, we're moving today, and Anan's illness can't be deyed any longer… it must be treated as soon as possible!"

  Lin Jianhe nodded and immediately called Kong Shan, who was working outside.

  Soon, a woman dressed simply but with a pleasant appearance came back.

  This was Lin Chen's aunt, Kong Shan. Since Lin Jianhe's accident, she had never left his side, working outside without ever compining.

  Together with Lin Jianhe, she raised Lin Chen, treating him like her own son.

  She managed all of the family's finances, never hesitating to help Lin Chen with martial arts resources.

  She often said, "When our Chen'er becomes a martial master in the future, this aunt of his will have face and will enjoy the benefits…"

  After Kong Shan returned, she first asked about the situation. When she learned that they could move into the military housing area today, her eyes turned red, and she said:

  "Husband, we've really made it through!"

  She then began packing up the household belongings, and Lin Chen helped her.

  Soon, several military personnel dressed in pin clothes entered the house and began moving Lin Chen's family.

  That evening, the family left the old, dipidated apartment building and arrived at their new home in the military housing area.

  This new neighborhood was located in the northern part of Kyoto, near the military district.

  The house was much more spacious than their previous one, nearly 150 square meters.

  Moreover, all the furniture and appliances had been arranged in advance by Wang Xinyu.

  Aunt Kong Shan couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the new house, and Lin Anan, the younger sister, was happily looking around the room.

  After dropping Lin Chen's family off at the military district, Li Nian and Wang Xinyu left.

  That evening, Kong Shan treated everyone to a vish dinner, celebrating the housewarming and Lin Chen's promotion to a martial artist.

  After Kong Shan and Lin Anan went to sleep, Lin Jianhe, in his wheelchair, knocked on Lin Chen's door.

  "Uncle!" Lin Chen was a little surprised and stood up to push Lin Jianhe inside.

  Lin Jianhe closed the door and quietly said to Lin Chen:

  "Ah Chen, those soldiers from today, they came with you, right?"

  Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and pyed dumb: "Uncle, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

  Lin Jianhe rolled his eyes and said:

  "You brat, do you think I'm an idiot?"

  "We've been living in Xicheng for so many years and never got a spot in the military housing area… yet as soon as you become a martial artist, we get one?"

  "Hmph, you're trying to fool me, aren't you?"

  Lin Chen scratched his head and gave a sheepish smile.

  Lin Jianhe, with a look that seemed to see through everything, lowered his voice and said:

  "Ah Chen, that Officer Li from today, his rank is no small matter! A young major like that, I've been a soldier all my life and never met someone like him…"

  "Even if our family got the lottery, it wouldn't be for such a big shot to come over."

  "I know you have talent, becoming a martial artist at such a young age, you'll definitely be valued by the country…"

  "I also know you'll be selected to join the elite martial artist forces or something like that…"

  After a pause, Lin Jianhe suddenly looked misty-eyed and said:

  "But your parents both died on the battlefield, and look at me, I've ended up like this."

  "Ah Chen, when you go to the battlefield, be careful. Don't be like me, rushing forward without regard for your life."

  "Serving the country is important, but we also need to cherish our lives. If you die too, the Lin family will have no heirs…"

  Upon hearing Lin Jianhe's words, Lin Chen suddenly realized that his uncle had misunderstood.

  He thought Lin Chen had been specially chosen by the country's elite forces because of his talent and would have to risk his life.

  So now, Lin Jianhe was giving him this kind of advice!

  Lin Chen was moved by his words and nodded:

  "Don't worry, Uncle, I know what I'm doing!"

  Although Lin Jianhe had misunderstood, the advice he gave was still valid.

  Whether it was on the battlefield or in the future when Lin Chen was in the cultivation world, he had to prioritize his own safety.

  Even if Lin Chen had to bring back resources for Daxia, it had to be based on his own safety.

  If he died, everything would be over…

  The next morning, Wang Xinyu arrived with a team to take Lin Anan for treatment.

  That afternoon, Lin Chen received a phone call from Wang Xinyu.

  On the other end of the line, Wang Xinyu's tone was somewhat subtle.

  "Lin Chen, can you come to the military hospital?"

  "Anan's condition is a bit complicated… Strictly speaking, it's not actually a disease…"
