“Hmm, let me clarify in advance, the seed of destruction is the term Wei Tian coined for that virus...”
“In other words, all you need to do is continuously inject physical quality into Qin Shiyuan’s body to save her life.”
“Ten thousand points!”
“You have that, right?”
Looking at Lin Haifeng's inquisitive gaze, Wen Yu fell completely silent...
Lin Haifeng's words were essentially a confession to Wen Yu—these matters are indeed my doing. However, some things cannot be openly acknowledged; speaking the truth would mean turning against each other. Lin Haifeng might be able to bear the consequences of turning against Wen Yu, but currently, Wen Yu, who is in the Inner City of Beijing, might not be able to handle it!
But one thing was certain: neither side wanted to turn against each other...
So, Wen Yu chose silence...
Thus, Lin Haifeng chose to persuade...
“You see, you have 10,000 points of physical quality, which means you can definitely save Qin Tian's sister. If you suspect that I have a hidden agenda in this matter, you can totally do it. Just save that girl named Qin Shiyuan, and everything will be over...”
“But, will you do it?”
Ten thousand points...
Without the limit of 10,000 points of physical quality, Wen Yu’s strength would be reduced by half...
For Wen Yu, this was not an option, but it posed a profound inner dilemma...
“So you see, you can save her but choose not to; how can you still say Qin Tian is your person? I actually don’t quite understand your interpretation of the term 'my person.'”
“We don't need to waste time on useless words. You have no one but yourself, hmm, plus your spirit pet...”
“Then again, what does this matter have to do with you?”
...
“When I established the lone wanderers' mutual aid association...”
“You said it was for freedom!!! To not be persecuted by the military...”
“Don’t look at me like that; I have my spies in there, you knew that at the time.”
“However, did you really take this seriously???”
Seeing Wen Yu's serious expression, Lin Haifeng shook his head with a bitter smile...
“Alright, you really took it seriously...”
“I need to correct a mistake of yours: that loose organization you established could never unite for an elusive goal. Have you considered, for example, if this issue makes us turn against each other, how many people would stand by your side, responding to your call, opposing the military? Opposing me? Opposing Tang Haofei? Opposing the Inner City of Beijing and the Eternal Sky City? Opposing hundreds of high-ranking experts? Opposing countless high-tech weapons in Beijing?”
“The answer is: not a single one!”
“Perhaps the Yang Hong and Wang Fu Cai you trust would leave you immediately...”
“Do you know? The so-called goal needs to be specific, and most importantly, you need to tie that goal to people's interests for them to respond to your call...”
“The goal you set—to fight for freedom and to avoid the military's conspiracy—was never a galvanizing target from the start. When disaster hasn’t struck them, those ordinary mortals will only hide under their blankets, trembling!!!”
“So, do you understand now? Do you understand why I made this matter so complicated?”
“No matter what relationship or affection you have with Qin Tian, Arthur, or Qin Shiyuan, after you’ve sacrificed 1,000 points of physical quality, I believe you’ve already done enough.”
“I only want to provide you with a way out, a step that allows you to completely extricate yourself from this matter...”
...
As the conversation unfolded...
Lin Haifeng had even said, “I made this matter so complicated,” which meant he had no reservations when facing Wen Yu...
The step is laid out before you; I’ve shown the sincerity I needed to show. Whether you walk it or not is your problem.
Hence, the burden was thrown back onto Wen Yu's shoulders.
“So, should I thank you then?”
“Don’t mention it...”
Lin Haifeng shamelessly accepted Wen Yu’s gratitude, then continued speaking.
