Chapter 372, Episode 0402: This is way too exaggerated!
Uncle Liu didn't have any connections to ask for help either, but since he was already a member of the team, he asked the other members of the team for help, and soon he was able to contact the Ye family.

Unfortunately, ten years ago, the Ye family had already moved to a southern island because Uncle Ye had taken on the task of building an island.

The Ye family sent someone to meet with Xiaolin, explained the misunderstanding from back then, and proposed to take Xiaolin to live on an island, especially Ye Linlang's adoptive parents.

But Xiaolin ultimately chose to follow his maternal uncle, Uncle Liu.

Xiao Lin is not well-educated and would have a hard time surviving on her own in Beijing. After Uncle Liu joined the team, everyone had to follow Lin Yuexi, so naturally he couldn't take care of Xiao Lin.

So, Uncle Liu reported Xiao Lin's situation to Xu Shan. He was uneducated but that didn't matter; he could help with chopping vegetables as a kitchen helper, which would allow him to earn a living through his own skills.

Xu Shan reported the matter to Lin Yuexi. After hearing about Xiao Lin's experience, Lin Yuexi saw that he was the orphan of a martyr and had suffered so much. Although she could not fully empathize with him, Lin Yuexi and Xu Shan were somewhat biased towards soldiers. Out of love for the family, they showed more kindness to Xiao Lin.

We happen to be short two cooks, so why not take care of the orphans of martyrs?

Lin Yuexi stared intently ahead, her eyes deep. After a few moments, she asked, "How's the progress on Academician Wang's side?"

Xu Shan: "That bottle of virus contained about the size of a thumb. Xiao Lin only used one drop. I gave the rest to Academician Wang. Academician Wang and his team have analyzed most of the components. However, Academician Wang said that there are a few components that they have never seen before and that will take some more time."

He paused, then added, "Old Zhou means that the military nursing home is no longer safe, and he wants you and Old Leng to move to the family quarters in Zhonghai."

Lin Yuexi: "..."

This is too outrageous. Isn't this equivalent to making someone from ancient times feel that the general's mansion was unsafe and move to the palace?

That's an exaggeration, that's way too exaggerated!

"Please help me and Old Zhou decline. The military nursing home is relatively safe. We'll just need to strengthen our defenses in the future."

"Understood." Xu Shan had an expression that said he had expected this.

It's not hard to guess the personality of his superior.

Although she may seem to have more "unfree" time in terms of time, that's only because it was voluntary for her. Since she enjoys research, the question of whether she was free or not doesn't apply.

However, outside of her working hours, the leader strongly dislikes anyone interfering in her life, even if it's for her safety.

Initially, he didn't understand his superior and sometimes almost offended him in his daily behavior. Although his intentions were good, he did interfere with his superior's wishes.

Fortunately, he wasn't the stubborn, inflexible type. He wouldn't impose his "I'm doing this for your own good" attitude on others. In a short time, he got along quite well with the leader, ensuring her safety without making her feel like her freedom was being restricted.

Zhonghai offers a sense of status and security, but for a leader who dislikes being restricted, it would only make her feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go back." Lin Yuexi took a deep look at the two people in the ward, and this time she turned and left without hesitation.

At this point, her leaving the military sanatorium for the hospital had already increased security, and even the surrounding police stations were probably mobilized. If she continued to delay, it wouldn't be pursuing freedom and showing consideration for her subordinates, but rather acting willfully.

Xu Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

Lin Yuexi guessed correctly. On the surface, everything seemed normal, but in reality, the entire road from the military nursing home to the hospital was under complete lockdown.

The journey back to the military nursing home went smoothly. After entering the gate, the vehicle had not traveled far when it was suddenly blocked by two people who jumped out.

"Academician Lin, please, can you let us go?"

After entering the military nursing home, Lin Yuexi opened the car window. The young woman's words drifted into her ears on the wind, and she was momentarily speechless: "??????" What happened to her?

Turning to Xu Shan, who was also turning to look at her from the passenger seat, she asked in confusion, "What's going on outside?"

Xu Shan felt like he'd been screwed over.

Xu Shan does know some of the people outside, but it's not convenient for him to say too much right now since he's out.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go take care of this first."

Lin Yuexi was somewhat displeased, not with Xu Shan, but genuinely suspicious of the security at the military nursing home.

He nodded and casually closed the car window.

Xu Shan acted quickly. After getting out of the car and running ahead, he said something to the two girls, who were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. One of them stumbled forward and fell several steps before continuing to run without stopping, looking quite disheveled.

Lin Yuexi: "..."

With that kind of guts, why bother?

Xu Shan jogged back, closed the car door, and the car started moving forward again.

As Xu Shan tied them up, he turned to Lin Yuexi and told her about the two girls' identities: "One of them is Old Cheng's granddaughter, named Cheng Siyu; the other is Old Wu's grandniece, named Wu Wenqiong."

"Seven months ago, Wu Wenqiong's elder brother, Wu Wenyuan, secretly inquired about the leader's information and even appeared near Base 311 several times. After I reported this matter, it attracted great attention from the higher-ups. The Wu family was warned and thoroughly investigated."

The Wu family has members in government and business, but not in politics. They're involved in politics, and they're an old-established political family from before the founding of the People's Republic of China. How could they withstand an investigation?!

Sure enough, all three members of the Wu family who worked at the J customs were dismissed. Their plan to establish a company after the economic liberalization was also shelved due to violations of regulations. Even the two garment factories that had already started operations were found to have problems with their funding sources and have been shut down.

To be honest, if the Wu family hadn't attracted the attention of higher authorities, they wouldn't have ended up like this, at least not in the short term.

Old Wu did make considerable contributions in the past, and the Wu family's affairs, while not insignificant, were not the most important ones in this era of rebuilding.

Even just out of respect for Old Master Wu, as long as the Wu family keeps a low profile and corrects their mistakes, they can be overlooked.

Unfortunately, the Wu family wanted to reach out to the wrong people.

It can be said that Wu Wenyuan brought misery to the Wu family.

Not all members of the Wu family are like Wu Wenyuan; there are quite a few intelligent people among them.

In fact, after Mr. Wu retired, the Wu family became much more low-key. Mr. Wu himself was like a transparent person in the military nursing home, and it is said that he drank tea and tended to his flowers every day, living a very comfortable life.

The Wu family members from Z do not hold high positions. They did indeed do wrong things by abusing their positions in the past. After Old Master Wu retired, they all became more restrained and kept a low profile. Wu Da can retire next year. He is now almost completely uninvolved and just waiting to enjoy a life of luxury like his father after retirement.

Then, good heavens, Wu Wenyuan pulled this stunt, and everyone was thoroughly investigated. Those who should be dismissed were dismissed, those who should be imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who should be controlled were controlled. Almost no one in the Wu family got away with it.

The Wu family dared not blame their superiors, so they naturally turned their anger on Wu Wenyuan, who had harmed them.

But Wu Wenyuan was inside, so he couldn't vent his anger on him. Therefore, all his anger was directed at Wu Wenyuan's only sister, Wu Wenqiong.

I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, so I need to take a day off!
