Chapter 928: Chapter 609: To Save or Not to Save (Three More)_2

None of this was what he wanted to see, and he believed it wasn’t what those above wanted to see either.

Now, if there was a chance for both sides to take a step back, he still hoped for a different outcome.

Listening to Ling Qi’s words, everyone pondered.

They had to admit, what Ling Qi said was indeed correct; everyone subconsciously looked towards Mu Lin, after all, the final decision was still in Mu Lin’s hands, and it was unknown whether she was willing or not.

There was also one thing, Mu Lin’s temper, though slightly better than before, was still... actually nowhere near good.

So...

Mu Lin: "You don’t need to look at me, whether I’m willing or not depends on whether their sincerity is enough," she said, lifting her lips in a smile that was not quite a smile.

Her terms were very harsh.

As it happened, speak of the devil and he shall appear; within minutes of Mu Lin finishing her words, the Instructor arrived with his subordinates.

As the ones asking for help, this time, they were... much more polite than previously.

Especially when Jing Youlan and the others saw the embarrassment on the faces of those behind the Instructor, they couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted! Their smiles, as bright as flowers, were fully exposed and could not be hidden, which made the others grit their teeth in helpless rage.

They were here to ask for help.

"Instructor Ling." Greeted into the house, the Instructor greeted Ling Qi first.

Ling Qi nodded at him politely, "Instructor Walker, I’m not sure what brings you to our place at this time?" His gaze was calm, with a hint of puzzlement.

This was classic pretense.

"Actually, the matter is as follows." Only to hear the other party slowly speak, "We just went to the Military Doctor’s office, where the Military Doctor told me that Ai Lu’s foot... might not be savable, and he will have to live using crutches for the rest of his life, probably being forced to retire after going back." As he said this, he sighed subconsciously.

Lifting her lips. "So, Instructor Walker, are you here to hold us responsible?" Ling Qi’s voice carried a trace of sarcasm and coldness.

Although he had just pleaded on their behalf, a plea was just that, and he still didn’t like them, ever since before; it wasn’t for these people that he had interceded, but for their soldiers, the future participants, just hoping for less trouble for them and less antagonism toward them.

"Not at all, of course not," Walker said, his face appearing somewhat anxious; he was a soldier, and explanations were not his strong suit.

Hearing Ling Qi’s words, Walker knew there was still resentment in their hearts, but the words that needed to be said still had to be spoken.

He sighed softly, his expression showing some regret, "Actually, I’ve come here to see Military Doctor Mu, hoping that Military Doctor Mu can forgive the petty offences and save Ai Lu." As he said this, he looked at Mu Lin with sincere eyes, waiting for her answer.

However.

"Why should I?" Mu Lin looked up, her gaze simply faintly watching him, "Give me a reason to save him."

A reason. Walker pursed his lips.

He didn’t have a reason except, "The Military Doctor said that besides Military Doctor Mu, no one else here could save Ai Lu."

"So." Mu Lin lifted her lips, her smile not quite a smile, the curve of her mouth heavy with sarcasm, "Am I obliged to save him?"

The other side pursed lips, silent.

Next moment, a soft chuckle came through, its cold whimsy chilling, Mu Lin’s indifferent gaze settling on the person before her, "Instructor Walker, have you forgotten? The one who inflicted the injury was also me." So, actually, for them to come to her at this time was indeed a rather funny affair.

"This is our fault," Walker said, looking into Mu Lin’s eyes with a sense of apology, "I can apologize to you all."

However, Mu Lin suddenly laughed, "An apology, why should you apologize, what have you done to us?" Actually, what Mu Lin originally wanted to say was, if apologies worked, what was the need for police? But she thought better of it and changed her words.

Ling Qi did say it; so, this was Mu Lin’s saving step.

It’s a pity, it wasn’t that easy to take.

Walker: "There’s an old saying, ’A lax instructor breeds laziness,’ and this is my fault for not supervising them properly." In fact, he genuinely believed this.

As for those under Walker’s command, he didn’t have any particular feelings, so he hadn’t stopped them before, assuming it wouldn’t result in anything serious.

But little did he expect.

This was a matter for which he must take a great deal of responsibility.

It was a pity that although he was willing to take responsibility, Mu Lin was not willing to accept it, "It seems Instructor Walker has done quite the research into our culture. Well then, I would like to ask, if you are taking responsibility, what about the person who should be responsible? Will he continue to be a shrinking turtle? So this is the kind of education you provide; truly insightful."

When it came to troublemakers, Mu Lin was never polite, and her words left the opposing party completely stiffening up, especially the instigator.

"How about, I give you a suggestion," said Mu Lin, looking at them suddenly.

Off to the side, Jing Youlan and the others looked at Mu Lin, "I bet ten bucks, Sister-in-law’s suggestion is definitely not a good one." From their understanding of Mu Lin’s character, when it came to those who offended her, their sister-in-law was never likely to be kind.

So! Hehehe... he was sure to win!

"I’ll bet with you, twenty bucks, same answer as you."

"I second that!"

"Me too."

"Same here."

Ling Qi: ...These kids.

He felt a sense of helplessness without reason.

Mu Lin was negotiating with someone on their behalf, and yet they were making bets on the side.
