"I don't want the old predecessors who once bled on the battlefield to find themselves shedding silent, lonely tears after coming home to lost family, brothers, and comrades." Lin Hai's words were soft, but they carried a pure and heartfelt sincerity.

Ghost Master and Old Mr. Tao exchanged silent glances, seeing in each other's eyes a shared understanding.

Those who had lived through the wartime years were now most afraid of being forgotten as they saw society advancing rapidly, with people's lives getting better. Amidst the celebration of prosperity, they feared their descendants would forget that period of history.

"Old Tao, you've cultivated a fine young man, indeed a fine one!" Ghost Master exclaimed with deep admiration, his eyes shifting from appreciation to genuine fondness as he looked at Lin Hai.

After some thought, Lin Hai firmly said: "If you're not going to take this medicine, I'd rather pour it away."

"You rascal, are you causing trouble again? I'll drink it, okay?" Old Mr. Tao said, his mustache bristling with irritation and his eyes brimming with thicker tears, but he was determined not to let them fall.

"Let's make it clear, I'll only take one sip. It's a treasure, drinking too much would be a waste," Old Mr. Tao stubbornly claimed.

Lin Hai looked at Ghost Master.

Ghost Master smiled and said, "One sip is enough; it can cure Old Tao's chronic ailment with just that much. It's mainly because it's incredibly precious. Otherwise, I would have got it for Old Tao a long time ago; it's all thanks to your good fortune this time."

"Hehe, then I can truly rest easy," Lin Hai replied with a happy smile.

Old Mr. Tao carefully opened the vial that resembled a test tube and gingerly took one sip. As if he couldn't bear to have more, he said with a pained expression, "What a waste of a treasure...sigh, Lin, you keep the rest for yourself. Drink it all and enhance your abilities. In the future, contribute more to Huaxia. Don't bother about those negative views in society; just focus on doing your own thing. Help the vulnerable and cooperate more with the country, and that will suffice."

"This young man understands," Lin Hai nodded. Deep down, influenced by the years of Old Mr. Tao's mentorship, he harbored a special patriotic love for Huaxia.

As a person, it's okay to be down-to-earth once in a while, or to be slick-tongued, but one must never be a traitor or a traitor dog. That was the principle Lin Hai adhered to in life.

"How do you feel? Is the medicine working?" Lin Hai asked with concern, also very curious whether the stuff was truly effective.

"How could it be so fast? It takes at least a day, do you think it's an elixir?" Ghost Master rolled his eyes; this kid was too anxious about Old Mr. Tao's wellbeing.

"Hehe, my mistake, I was too impatient," Lin Hai said, scratching his head sheepishly.

"Alright, young man, you'd better leave. You've made quite the impression today, there must be many people watching you in secret, especially those two bastards next door who probably can't wait to dig up your ancestors. Hurry and go, don't let anyone discover your true identity," Old Mr. Tao cautioned.

Only then did Lin Hai realize the importance of keeping his identity secret, and he nodded, "Then I'll be off first."

Tao Xia wanted to follow him, but Old Mr. Tao stopped her.

"Don't follow him; you can meet another day. Not today. He's capable of taking care of himself, and being alone, others won't be able to find him, understand?"

Although Tao Xia reluctantly accepted her grandfather's words, she understood the priorities and obediently nodded, not following.

Lin Hai exited the private room to find that indeed quite a few people were paying attention to him.

Without any fuss, he quietly walked towards the darkest area of the corridor. Under the watchful eyes of others, he took advantage of the darkness and vanished without a trace.

"Damn, where did he go? I wanted to ask for his autograph, how did he disappear?"

"Sh*t, like a dragon that reveals its head but not its tail."

A few who wanted to follow Lin Hai stomped their feet in frustration.

Lin Hai zigzagged through several alleys, making sure several times that he had shaken off all tails before he comfortably walked into a deep lane.

Minutes later, he changed into a security guard uniform and took off the human skin mask, carrying two bottles of priceless medicine wrapped in newspaper as casually as if they were just two sweet potatoes, strolling out with an air of nonchalance, decadence, and loser vibe.

No one could imagine that Dragon Tooth, the powerful, domineering, and proud special forces mysterious instructor Long Hai, would look like this.

As an assassin, Lin Hai was too skilled in the methods and techniques of changing his aura.

Now, he completely looked like a downtrodden person from the lower echelons.

"Time to go home and pamper President Ouyang's wife."

Lin Hai stood on the street and hailed a taxi with a wave of his hand.

Just as he opened the car door and was about to get in, he heard a woman's voice from behind.

"Wait a minute, sir, please wait."

The anxious voice was mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps.

Could it be someone he knew? Lin Hai stopped his action, preparing to turn around.

"Sir, please wait a moment. Could you let me share this taxi with you? It's so hard to hail a cab nearby, I need to get back to my unit for some urgent business, and the fare's on me... Why is it you?!"

The woman paused mid-sentence, her eyes widening as she looked at Lin Hai.

"Oh crap, why is it you?"

Lin Hai was also stunned, this damn encounter was like ships passing in the night... no, it was like enemies on a narrow road!

"You need a taxi?" Lin Hai asked bluntly.

The woman hesitated for a moment but still nodded, apparently in a rush.

"Oh, you need a taxi? Sorry, I hailed this one first, go find another one."

Lin Hai chuckled with a sneer.

Enemies crossing paths? Hmph, so even I, Lin the rogue... ahem, Lin the handsome guy, get my turn to gloat.

The woman thought Lin Hai would agree to her request, but to her surprise, she was left waiting for such a response.

"Go away yourself, your whole family can go away. Don't you believe this Queen can make you purge your manhood in minutes, turning you into a eunuch forever? Despicable!" The woman's fierce tone came from her small, tender cherry lips, her little pink fists clenched, making a crackling noise of her knuckles.

"Hey hey, I'm telling you, broad daylight, you want to force yourself on me? I'll scream, you know." Lin Hai shielded his vital parts and said mischievously.

"You? You think this Queen would force herself on you? Do you even have the capability to satisfy me?" The woman snorted coldly, her face filled with disdain and speech that shocks or offends.

"Cough cough, have you forgotten? Last time in the airport security room, you couldn't wait to point your weapon at my head, forcing me to take off my pants, and then... there was pulling, fiddling, digging in and out, and I couldn't satisfy you?" Lin Hai finished speaking and winked.

The woman in front of him was none other than Special Police Queen Liu Piaopiao, whom Lin Hai "specially inspected" at the airport last time.

Today, she was wearing casual clothes and red high heels with her long, attractive legs exposed.

Liu Piaopiao was grinding her teeth in anger, thinking of the incident at the airport, her embarrassment and fury intertwined.
