I am Peerless Mad

Chapter 588 Unwavering Support

Southwest, Medicine God Valley.

Upon learning of the incident at the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Li Lianyi's father, Li YinZhi, rushed to Li GuYi's residence.

In the study, Li GuYi stood by the window, his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the drizzling rain outside with a somber expression.

"Dad!"

Li YinZhi entered the study, calling out to Li GuYi with a worried look, "Lianyi..."

"I already know."

Li GuYi turned and interrupted Li YinZhi.

"I told you back then, that brat Jiang WuMing is ungrateful and not a good person. After he broke off Lianyi's engagement publicly during your birthday banquet, I was adamantly against Lianyi continuing to associate with him, but you and Lianyi's mother disagreed. And now, look at this huge mess!"

Li YinZhi grumbled.

The engagement between Jiang WuMing and Li Lianyi had been first discussed by their mothers.

Before coming to find Li GuYi, Li YinZhi had already severely reprimanded Li Lianyi's mother.

"Lianyi's mishap is not Jiang WuMing's fault," Li GuYi frowned.

"How is it not his fault? If it weren't for him, why would Lianyi have suddenly decided to establish the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute? Even if Lianyi wanted to contribute to the country and benefit the people, without Jiang WuMing, she wouldn't have placed the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute's location in HangHu..."

Li YinZhi rambled on, firmly believing that Li GuYi and his wife's insistence on allowing Li Lianyi to associate with Jiang WuMing had been a mistake.

"Enough! That was Lianyi's decision! Knowing Lianyi, would she listen to you or to me? Besides, Jiang WuMing is not as incompetent as you think. What happened today was entirely an accident!"

Li GuYi was somewhat irritated. He had never liked his son, who had neither inherited the Li family's medical skills nor lived up to expectations in his conduct and actions.

Seeing Li GuYi suddenly flare up, Li YinZhi paused and dared not complain further. Instead, he said,

"Dad, why don't you call Qi WuFu or Qin YuanZheng of the Eastern Domain Legion to ask about the current situation..."

"No need."

Li GuYi returned to his desk and said, word by word, "If there's any outcome, good or bad, they will notify the Li family immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Li YinZhi still wanted to say something, but seeing Li GuYi's grim expression, he wisely kept quiet.

...

Meanwhile.

Eastern Domain Legion Command Center.

"Reporting to the Legion Commander, Jiang WuMing has just reported that according to the intelligence obtained by Li Lianyi, the one-star War God at stage nine was just the first extraterrestrial enemy to descend. More extraterrestrial enemies will descend at the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute later, but the number and strength of the enemies are unknown.

He has already made combat deployments based on the current situation.

He himself is going to rescue Li Lianyi, and Qin XiaoZhi will lead the other three members of the War Dragon team to the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute!"

The dispatcher at the command center, after receiving Jiang WuMing's report, immediately stood up to report to Qin YuanZheng.

Swish, swish, swish...

In an instant, all eyes turned to Qin YuanZheng.

Firstly, according to the dispatcher, Jiang WuMing had not sought permission but had reported, or rather, acted first and reported later!

Secondly, according to the usual pattern of extraterrestrial enemy descents, the ones who descend first are typically weaker.

The first extraterrestrial enemy to descend possessed the strength of a one-star War God at stage nine, meaning those who followed would be at least two-star War Gods.

Without Jiang WuMing, how would the other four members of the War Dragon team be able to resist the subsequent extraterrestrial enemies?

"Notify the Southern Zhejiang Branch and have Xie SiPeng immediately bring personnel to support the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute!"

Under everyone's gaze, Qin YuanZheng issued his directive.

"Yes, Legion Commander!"

The dispatcher immediately acknowledged the order.

Meanwhile, others, including Chief of Staff Zhu ShengXian, understood that Qin YuanZheng was tacitly approving Jiang WuMing's combat deployment.

At this moment, their feelings were complex and conflicted.

This was because they had all watched the surveillance footage from the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute's courtyard and knew that Li Lianyi had fallen into the hands of the extraterrestrial enemy to save the thirty-two experts.

In other words, if Li Lianyi had left when the barrier appeared, nothing would have happened to her.

In fact, they even understood that Li Lianyi's refusal to board the vehicle at the critical moment was an attempt to sacrifice herself to stop the extraterrestrial enemy, buying time for other experts from the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute to escape.

Sacrificing oneself to save others.

Li Lianyi had disregarded her own life and death, saving a group of top experts from China's four major fields!

This... deserved everyone's respect, and the Military Department would spare no effort to rescue her!

Moreover, they had all heard about Jiang WuMing and Li Lianyi continuing to associate after their engagement was called off?

Both publicly and privately, Jiang WuMing was not wrong in going to save Li Lianyi. The only issue was the significant hidden danger left in the combat deployment.

After issuing his instructions, Qin YuanZheng walked out of the command center alone, took out his phone, and dialed Qi WuFu's private number.

Upon learning of the incident in HangHu, Qi WuFu had also rushed to the Military Department Headquarters' command center and, like everyone else, had watched the surveillance footage from the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute, learning all that had transpired.

At this moment, upon hearing his phone vibrate and seeing Qin YuanZheng's call, he answered it directly in the command center, in front of everyone.

"Marshal, the captain of the War Dragon team, Jiang WuMing, has just made combat deployments for the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute and reported them..."

When the call connected, Qin YuanZheng began his report, clearly supporting Jiang WuMing.

"On behalf of the Eastern Domain Legion, I agree and support the combat deployment of the War Dragon team! If the extraterrestrial enemies descending in HangHu escape the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute due to inadequate combat deployment, causing large-scale casualties, I will bear all responsibility!"

"I, along with the Military Department Headquarters, agree with the War Dragon team's combat deployment. However, to be safe, you must prepare contingency plans. Simultaneously, I have contacted the military to activate the latest military satellite to locate Li Lianyi's mobile phone and capture her image, which will be shared with your legion's command center shortly."

Qi WuFu spoke publicly and expressed his stance.

"Yes, Marshal!"

Qin YuanZheng acknowledged the order, a sigh of relief passing through him.

Before making this call, he had been somewhat worried that the Military Department Headquarters might object to the War Dragon team's combat deployment.

After all, setting aside all other factors, it would have been more reasonable for Jiang WuMing to go to the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute to eliminate more powerful enemies, while Qin XiaoZhi led the other members of the War Dragon team to eliminate the one-star War God at stage nine extraterrestrial enemy and rescue Li Lianyi.

But in that case, Li Lianyi's chances of survival would have been slim.

"Once the military transmits Li Lianyi's location imaging, share it immediately with the Eastern Domain Legion Command Center."

After ending the call with Qin YuanZheng, Qi WuFu did not explain his decision to anyone but directly issued a command.

"Yes, Marshal!"

A dispatcher immediately acknowledged the order.

As for the others, especially the elders and heads of various departments, they exchanged glances.

At this moment, they all felt, to some extent, that Qi WuFu was being too lenient towards Jiang WuMing and the War Dragon team.

Too lenient?

Qi WuFu did not know how the other four members of the War Dragon team would resist the extraterrestrial enemies who would descend later.

He also did not know if Jiang WuMing could truly save Li Lianyi.

But he knew that for the young man, this decision was difficult to make!

The young man must have undergone intense mental struggle when making this choice!

He also knew that at this critical juncture, he had to stand behind the young man wholeheartedly and provide him with the greatest support, otherwise, all their previous efforts with the Military Department could be in vain!

Because the young man was different from Jiang Zhan of the past.

Jiang Zhan sacrificed his family to protect the nation; he was a hero, a national chivalrous warrior!

The young man also loved his country, but he had lived in the shadows for twenty years, desperately yearning for emotional support. He valued his friends and family more than anything in the world!

And Li Lianyi, that self-sacrificing girl, was one of the most important people in the young man's heart!

"Reporting to the Marshal, the military has transmitted images within a thirty-meter radius of Li Lianyi's phone location!"

Just as these thoughts flashed through Qi WuFu's mind, the dispatcher's voice sounded again.

Swish, swish, swish...

The next moment.

All eyes, including Qi WuFu's, turned to the screen!
