Chapter 97, Episode 0100: Two Filial Sons
Everyone trusts Commander Ning, so since he spoke about this so seriously, it's unlikely he's joking with them. Besides, even Commander Ning wouldn't be fooled by something like this.

Brigade Commander He slapped the table with delight, “Then the matter in Country E must be true. Even you, Commander, were tricked when you were young. Comrade Lin has grown up now and must be even more capable. Ye Ruiying, such a young girl, definitely can’t handle him.”

Staff Officer Pang nodded in agreement, saying, “Country E has a different national situation than our country. They have four generals supporting one emperor. If the four generals disagree, the emperor’s power will be dispersed, and they will no longer be able to concentrate their efforts on external affairs.”

Commander Ning tapped the table with a serious expression. "That's true, but this disagreement has to be a major one. Things like being a fool or having a marriage alliance won't affect the overall situation, and even if they do, the impact won't be too significant."

Commander He slammed his fist on the table excitedly again, "Then let's find a way to escalate their conflict."

Commander Ning and Staff Officer Pang exchanged glances. One looked rigid and old-fashioned, while the other looked refined and approachable. At that moment, they both agreed with He Da Hanzi's words.

The cutting board has been delivered right to my doorstep; if I don't go for the big one, I'll be doing myself a disservice.

Get it!

Lin Yuexi, who had already left, was unaware that the big shots were plotting to turn a small matter into a big one, but she could roughly guess that they definitely wanted to take this opportunity to cause some trouble.

Judging from Leng Xingchen's experience, the relationship between Country E and my country is no longer just about severing diplomatic ties, but rather about the country beginning to exert pressure.

Thanks to Mr. Mo, because our country also has atomic bombs, those countries that want to take a bite out of China have some reservations.

Otherwise, the current attitude of Country E towards China would not be one of pressure but rather a direct confrontation.

Lin Yuexi frowned and let out the same sigh as Commander Ning and the others.

time!

China needs time!
What they lack now is time!
Xu Shan, who had been following along, knew what Lin Yuexi was worried about, but he was a bit tongue-tied, so after thinking for a long time, he could only offer some words of comfort.

"Comrade Lin, once you've recovered, the country will be even better."

Lin Yuexi twitched the corner of her mouth. "I alone can't do it."

No matter how smart or extraordinary she is, she alone is not enough.

Technology cannot be developed by one person alone. Even a small hair dryer is composed of multiple technologies, let alone fighter jets and aircraft carriers.

The design wasn't enough.

The data calculation is perfect, but not enough.

Everything had to be in place: material production, successful breakthroughs in various technologies, and so on.
A true success is when all the combinations from top to bottom are successful!
Why is Lin Yuexi, who can be considered an all-around genius, still so carefree?
Her poor health was indeed the main reason, but it cannot be ignored that her mind was somewhat too advanced, and China's current technological development in various aspects cannot keep up with her mind.

Therefore, it takes her quite a while to come up with something, design something, or even something that has been calculated and only needs to be made according to the blueprints.

Because production capacity can't keep up, because materials can't keep up, because...

Her location was too high, so there was a fault line.

It's frustrating, but there's nothing anyone can do right now. If she wants to make up for this gap, she still has to work hard, but her body can't keep up either.

This created a vicious cycle, and no one could change the situation.

Xu Shan was unaware of the intricacies of the situation. Seeing Lin Yuexi's worry, he became anxious, fearing that Lin Yuexi might cause herself harm due to her distress.

Fortunately, Lin Yuexi didn't cause him too much worry. She quickly calmed down and said, "It's okay, no rush. My health is already improving."

Back in the ward, only Leng Xingchen remained. "Xi Bao, where did you go? Have you eaten?"

It's almost evening, and I wonder what my little sister is busy with outside. I'm so curious.

Lin Yuexi walked to the bedside, put the fruit she had bought on the way on the table, and then sat down to satisfy his curiosity by telling him about her day's itinerary.

"The Chen family? The Chen family that Grandpa Chen came from?"

Leng Xingchen was somewhat worried, but not too worried. The Chen family's matter could be big or small, depending mainly on the efficacy of the prescription submitted by Chen Yan.

"The medicines we use in the military now are mainly from abroad, such as anti-inflammatory drugs and wound medicines. Those foreigners have a tight grip on the prescriptions, so we can only buy over-the-counter medicines, and they are extremely expensive."

Therefore, even military hospitals use medicine sparingly, and in the event of war, there is often a severe shortage of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Although the prescription submitted by Chen Yan did not contain anti-inflammatory drugs, external wound medicine is equally important in the army. If the medicine is effective enough, the Chen family can basically be exonerated based on the prescription.

Those at the top who want to harm the Chen family are only after the prescription. Once they've determined that they can't get the prescription, they won't be foolish enough to create another enemy as powerful as the Leng family.

"The Chen family has been hiding for so long, they didn't even show up after Old Master Chen passed away. Although it's possible they haven't found where Old Master Chen and Old Man Chen were put down, it's also possible that the Chen family has been accumulating strength all along."

Given the state of China's pharmaceutical market, anyone with a brain would understand the importance of the prescriptions they possessed and the immense profits they could generate.

It was precisely because of this that the Chen family came into the sights of some people and suffered misfortune.

"Now that Chen Yan has taken the initiative to show himself and offer up the prescription, there is only one possibility: he has found the Chen family."

The Chen family had no way to hide anymore and had to reveal some of their trump cards to seek protection.

Therefore, the prescription that Chen Yan presented is very likely genuine.

Lin Yuexi nodded as she peeled an apple. "That's what I thought of, which is why I accepted the prescription. It's certain that Chen Yan had his own selfish motives, but if this succeeds, it will also benefit the country."

This would reduce the number of soldiers who die on the battlefield, and also benefit the civilians.

This is beneficial to both parties; it's a win-win situation.

As for the middleman, the Leng family, although they took a risk, the hidden benefits were actually greater.

Besides, not to mention that as long as Old Master Leng is around, the Leng family is not one that can be easily overthrown, and they also have such a precious child like her.

It wasn't that she was complacent; it was that she truly had that value!
Leng Xingchen thought for a moment, took the apple Lin Yuexi handed him but didn't eat it immediately. He said, "Leave this to me. First, we need to have someone confirm the authenticity of the prescription. Also, regarding Chen Yan, since he has already risked coming to find you, it means his identity has probably been exposed. We need to have Dad arrange for someone to protect him."

Why not let Grandpa Leng make the arrangements?

Before the authenticity of the prescription and the ingredients are confirmed, it's best to keep this matter a secret, especially since there are too many people around Old Master Leng.

Leng Zhi is different. He is now the leader of the Northwest Army Corps. People from Beijing have a hard time getting involved in the army, let alone in the border areas.

Therefore, Leng Zhi can arrange people more conveniently and more discreetly.

And most importantly, their minds in this area are still far inferior to their father, who is already a commander. Putting aside Old Master Leng, it is naturally more reliable for Leng Zhi to make decisions on matters that involve the entire Leng family.

What a filial son!

That's incredibly filial!
