However, his eldest cousin brother Li Mulan’s words surfaced within his mind. He had said before that Li Yingjie was not a bad person at heart, only being steered towards the wrong tracks by some people within the Li family. If possible, his eldest cousin brother still hoped that Li Shiyu could help Li Yingjie out, pulling him back onto the right path …

And now, this situation was proving his eldest cousin brother right. Someone who was willing to sacrifice himself for his brothers — how bad could his heart really be? Perhaps this was an opportunity. If he could improve his relationship with Li Yingjie through this matter, perhaps he would be able to accomplish what his eldest cousin brother had wished for …

Still, just thinking about this forced buy one get two free deal, Li Shiyu felt depressed. Just as he had mentioned previously, those ultra-effective medical agents were not things you could just pick up randomly. Even if he was the dux, requesting special restricted medical agents for three people was still a considerable challenge, requiring him to pull some strings … honestly speaking, he did not really want to use up those connections at this time, because this was a safety line he had been keeping in reserve for his eldest cousin brother.

“Of course, if you can heal them completely within a short period of time, we, the New Cadet Regiment, including myself, will owe you one. You can call on this favour any time you like.” Ling Lan was not purely pushing for Li Shiyu’s help with threats; at the same time, she was also offering the price she was willing to pay. She did not want Li Yingjie to really lose this opportunity for enhanced treatment. “Of course, your request must be something we the New Cadet Regiment are able to fulfil.”

“New Cadet Regiment?” A thought flashed through Li Shiyu’s mind, but he soon sneered and said, “Do you really think you can guarantee the New Cadet Regiment will continue to exist?”

Ling Lan replied calmly, “There will be no problems for at least two years’ time. You can choose for us to repay this favour within these two years. Of course, if the New Cadet Regiment no longer exists by the time you submit your request, I, Ling Lan’s promise still stands. You can come find me.” For the sake of the future of these followers of hers, Ling Lan felt that paying this price was worth it.

Li Shiyu fell silent, contemplating whether this deal would be worth it. Right then, Li Lanfeng spoke up, “Young Master Shiyu, I believe Young Master Mulan would also agree that you should treat Young Master Yingjie and his friends …”

Li Lanfeng sighed softly, his gaze a little unfocused, and as if speaking to himself, but also as if reminding Li Shiyu, he said, “You should know, this has always been something Young Master Mulan admires …”

Li Shiyu’s heart throbbed, and holding back that surge of sour-ache in his heart, he said loudly, “Alright, I agree.” That said, he pushed forth two more requests for transferral of treatment on his communicator. Several seconds later, the notifications for approval came through once more.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the tension in Ling Lan’s heart eased and she breathed a silent sigh of relief. Very quickly, the staff members had used stretchers to send the three patients to the Military Medical Research Centre. Li Shiyu and Yun Xiu bade hurried goodbyes and left as well. After all, the injuries of the three were all rather severe — they needed to hurry back to the Military Medical Research Centre and carry out their new treatment plans.

While the treatment centre was bustling with activity, Ling Lan led her posse to depart, and as she left, she coincidentally passed by Li Lanfeng’s side. Ling Lan swept a disinterested glance at Li Lanfeng, and then they brushed by each other and went their separate ways …
