Lin Siyu brought Li Jinshan and Xu Qin to the dining table.
She keenly noticed that everyone seed a bit off and puzzled, she asked, "What’s wrong with everyone?"
Xu Qin had also realized sothing was amiss.
Lin Changshui, being sowhat oblivious, hadn’t noticed much.
Since his younger sister had already spoken up, Lin Mo didn’t hide anything and looked at his parents, "Mom, Dad, please sit down first. Let’s talk after you’re seated."
Xu Qin and Lin Changshui exchanged glances, their expressions filled with surprise, but they sat down as their son requested.
Once they were seated, Lin Mo looked at their faces, which had aged, and asked, "Dad, Mom, I have sothing very important to ask you. How are you feeling right now?"
"If there is anything uncomfortable, you must not hide it from us. It has not been easy for our whole family to get to this point, and we can’t withstand any more turmoil."
"Even if we don’t go anywhere, you must first treat your after-effects."
Only then did they realize why, from the start, there seed to be sothing off with everyone at the table.
Hearing his son’s words, Lin Changshui couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Since ancient tis, life has a place and death has a ground. Your mom and I are of this age; it’s normal to have so problems, my son, you don’t have to worry."
"What’s ant to co will co, and what’s not won’t."
"You must not give up on your travel plans just because your mom and I are a bit unwell now."
"To tell you the truth, your mom really wants to go to the Northern Border Country, and she wants our whole family to go and have fun together."
Although Lin Changshui didn’t make it very clear, Lin Mo, who knew him best, had already grasped the gist of it.
His dad’s not denying it ant he was admitting it.
Moreover, it also indirectly proved that their current physical health wasn’t very good.
Seeing this, Xu Qin also felt quite troubled but still firmly said, "Son, since we’re already out here, there’s no reason to quit halfway."
"You don’t have to worry about your dad and ; we definitely won’t hold you back."
"Even if we really can’t make it, we will persist until we reach our old ho in East Sea City!"
Hearing their words, the atmosphere around the dining table beca much heavier, and nobody touched the robust northern dishes laid out on the table.
Even Lin Siyu, who had grown quite strong, couldn’t help but let out tears of pain when she heard her parents speak.
But the usually talkative her did not continue the conversation, nor did she say any comforting words to her parents.
She didn’t want her parents to have any accidents and wanted them to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up right now.
But Lin Siyu also understood sothing—that for such matters, one must listen to the elders, and if she made a decision, it could lead to complications later.
She was a pessimist; just today’s scene was enough to dampen her spirits for several days.
Zhang Li, seeing this, also quickly added, "Dad, Mom, we can actually go on the trip anyti, and I feel the Northern Border isn’t much different from the northern cities, just perhaps a bit colder."
"Why don’t we go back ho and recuperate, and once we’re feeling better, we can travel then."
It wasn’t just him and Lin Siyu; even others, after hearing about Xu Qin and Lin Changshui’s poor health, suggested they should first go back to recuperate properly and plan a trip another ti.
But Xu Qin and Lin Changshui understood that their health might just stay as it was.
If they really went back this ti, whether they could ever leave again was a very big question.
They understood their own situation.
For them, rather than choosing to retreat at this mont, it would be braver to go ahead. At least, if they died on the way, it would be a death with dignity.
To let them die peacefully at ho or in a hospital was definitely not what they wanted.
Xu Qin spoke again, "Everyone, please stop persuading us."
"Changshui is right; as there is a place to live, there’s a place to die. Although everyone wants to live a long life, that is sothing only a few can achieve."
"We’ve decided to go with you this ti, and there’s no need for further discussion."
Xu Qin was always like this.
Although she didn’t have many big ideas on regular days, mostly just going along with what her husband and son said, she was also quite stubborn.
Once she set her mind on sothing, even eight horses could hardly pull her back.
Now that she was set on going to Northern Border Country to have a look, and had already spoken her intent, it was unlikely that anyone could change her mind.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you,"
Lin Mo ultimately decided to follow his parents’ decision, but he quickly added, "However, there’s one thing that must be clear, if when we’re outside, your health truly does not permit further travel, you must imdiately go to the hospital for treatnt."
"If you don’t agree with this condition, then we can go back to East Sea City right now, and I will seek out the world’s best doctors to create a treatnt plan for you."
Everyone compromised.
Xu Qin and Lin Changshui agreed to their son’s demands.
Thus, the family had essentially decided to travel to Northern Border Country, with only so arrangents concerning the route and itinerary left to sort out.
....
anwhile, elsewhere.
In the Imperial Capital, within a lesser-known suburban estate.
At dusk, three fully ard transport helicopters landed on the estate’s helipad.
Although the estate did not appear large from the outside and was quite secluded, hardly a place anyone would pass by,
the internal space of the estate was actually very vast, so much so that even with three helicopters parked, it still seed extrely spacious.
The helicopter cabins opened simultaneously, and three elderly n anxiously alighted from the aircraft.
Of course, upon seeing each other, their expressions all showed slight surprise.
But now was not the ti to discuss these things.
One of the elders, dressed in an air force uniform, spoke, "It seems you have all received the latest news, that might an the information is true."
"Do you have any thoughts now?"
The other two had never faced such a situation before, so although their faces showed no expression, they were still very nervous inside.
After all, this was a very problematic matter.
The man in the navy uniform sighed and said, "The people are my responsibility, so no matter what, I will ensure they are found."
"Everyone being here today likely ans we all have similar thoughts."
"Now, it’s just a matter of seeing how the judge views them and their actions."
"Alright, let’s go!"
"I hope we can co to a conclusion."
"Ah... this young man has taken such a huge risk, bringing these people to such a dangerous place."
"Didn’t he think beforehand that his price is already very low?"
The three n chatted as they made their way to the inner court of the estate.
Indeed,
Since he beca increasingly irrational, the issues had escalated severely.
Soon,
after they had all taken their seats, National Elder walked out of the bedroom.
He had actually not slept for three days and nights, and the high-intensity filming had already made his eyes extrely uncomfortable.
Very drowsy,
with a type of trouble that seed inevitable no matter what.
The most crucial thing was that these etings were not only in dreams but also perfectly matched the author’s setting.
"National Elder."
"National Elder."
"National Elder."
After the external fireworks, the three old folks started clinging to their elder uncle, hoping he would bleed more money, ideally emptying his pockets so they could continue to earn interest!
