At this mont, Xing Dafeng seed to understand sothing. He looked coldly at Xing Hongfan and said, "Colonel Xing, what exactly have you done? Tell everything!"
"Thud!" Xing Hongfan suddenly knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said, "Dad, I did many things I shouldn't have done. And today, I took 11 soldiers to the new district to deliberately make things difficult for them, preventing the construction team from entering the site — but I had no choice."
Xing Dafeng's face turned even darker, and he said, "Give a reason."
"Dad, do you rember the last ti you suddenly felt unwell, with a sensation like thousands of insects biting you, that made you scratch your body until it bled? You called many doctors, but none could find the cause. Then I found a folk redy that cured you, but actually—" Xing Hongfan hesitated, unsure of how to continue.
Xing Dafeng sensed sothing suspicious and said seriously, "Actually what?"
Luo Chao also felt that this situation was very strange. The symptoms of being bitten by thousands of insects suggested poisoning; how could a folk redy cure that?
"Actually," Xing Hongfan said seriously, "actually soone gave an antidote that cured you, but you need to take it every month, or the symptoms will return. This person also made do many things against my conscience, including supplying him with a lot of weapons, but I had no choice."
"Young fellow, let down first," Xing Dafeng said to Luo Chao. After Luo Chao released him, Xing Dafeng rushed down the stairs and slapped Xing Hongfan hard on the face, shouting, "You ungrateful son! Are you trying to kill ? We are soldiers, indomitable soldiers! Better to die standing than to live kneeling! You've betrayed your principles and committed so many wrongdoings. I could shoot you dead!"
"Commander, no!" When Xing Dafeng drew his sidearm from his waist, all the soldiers suddenly knelt down: "We all know about this matter, but we didn't want you to suffer this pain. Colonel Xing had no choice but to agree to that person's terms."
"This is treason," Xing Dafeng shook with anger, realizing that the entire military district knew about it except him, who was kept in the dark.
A big hand suddenly extended to firmly grasp Xing Dafeng's gun. Xing Dafeng gazed blankly at Luo Chao, who said, "Commander Xing, Colonel Xing only acted to save your life. Although he made mistakes, his intentions were not bad, so there's no need for execution."
Xing Dafeng nodded: "The death penalty can be waived, but punishnt is inevitable. Xing Hongfan is demoted to major and penalized with 100 lashes!"
This punishnt was not light, demotion by two ranks and 100 lashes, which would split his skin. Yet, Xing Hongfan did not show any fear, instead sobbing, "Dad, I am willing to endure whatever punishnt, but your illness needs a solution."
"Who exactly is this person?" Xing Dafeng asked with a frown.
Xing Hongfan shook his head: "I don't know. Each ti he cos, he wears a cloak with a hood, obscuring his appearance, very mysterious."
"Next ti he cos, arrest him; I want to execute him myself," Commander Xing shouted, "I, Xing Dafeng, have lived a life of soldiering, a life of integrity, never having done anything against the nation or the people. Even if it ans death, I won't let anyone trample my dignity!"
All the soldiers were moved by the commander's words, and so secretly wiped their tears, vividly recalling the first ti the commander was poisoned, experiencing the "thousands of insects biting" tornt, desperately scratching his own body, with crimson blood under his fingernails, and begged his guards to kill him. That miserable state was unbearable to watch.
Luo Chao had already guessed who the mysterious person was; only the Fatigue Sect would use such a tactic to control a person with a Poison Needle. Xing Hongfan indeed acted under the Fatigue Sect's orders, leading his n to the new district to obstruct Teng Yuan Group's real estate company from construction.
Xing Hongfan, now tearful, cried, "Yes, Father!"
The commander now understood everything and faced death courageously. What else could Xing Hongfan do but comply?
Xing Dafeng looked at Luo Chao: "Young fellow, you're very brave. I've never admired anyone, but you count as one."
In a military district of tens of thousands, holding the commander hostage while facing thousands of assault rifles without flinching — such courage is not common.
"Commander Xing, my apologies for any offense," Luo Chao said with a bow.
Xing Dafeng showed a faint smile, waved his hand, then said to Xing Hongfan: "Now we can prepare for my final arrangents."
Xing Hongfan's body trembled violently, his fists clenched tightly, trying to hold back the tears, but they unwillingly rolled down.
All the soldiers in the district felt a sense of lancholy—
Xing Dafeng had once experienced the unbearable pain of "thousands of insects biting." He could no longer endure it, so once the illness attacked again, he'd send himself a bullet, the best solution.
"Commander Xing, who said you have to die," a voice suddenly reached everyone's ears, and they looked incredulously at Luo Chao.
Xing Dafeng was stunned for a mont: "What do you an?"
Luo Chao smiled, "I can save you!"
Xing Dafeng's hands trembled, "Really?"
All the soldiers were astonished; could this madman also be a skilled doctor?
At this mont, Xing Hongfan seed to see hope and quickly said, "Brother, please save my father. Whatever you need to do, I'm willing."
Luo Chao said nothing but led Xing Dafeng into a room, letting him lie on the bed, and began acupuncture. When Xing Dafeng saw the Silver Needle, he was amazed that this young man was proficient in Chinese dicine!
At this mont, Luo Chao brought a basin, placed his middle finger over it, and then gently pricked it. A drop of bright red blood erged, and Luo Chao quickly inserted a needle into Commander Xing's heart vein. Imdiately, black blood began to flow from the finger—
One needle after another, more and more black blood appeared, and when Luo Chao saw the blood turning red, it indicated that the poison had completely been expelled from the body, and he then withdrew the Silver Needle.
Xing Dafeng instantly felt refreshed, got up from the bed, and stared dazedly at the basin of black blood, then said, "Young fellow, you truly are a Divine Doctor. Thank you for saving my life. You've returned good for evil, and I don't know what to say."
Luo Chao smiled and said, "Commander Xing, I admire your character, so you don't need to thank . I'm rely serving the country, and if Huaxia loses a commander like you, it would be a great loss."
