The Phantom Butterfly of the Republic of China

With Lou Feng's fall, the Southern Clique launched a vigorous official replacement in Shanghai's officialdom. The storm started with Lou Feng and quickly spread to every corner related to him. No matter who it was, as long as they were related to Lou Feng and made mistakes, they were all sent to prison. Even Zhang Beichuan, who was far away in Shanghai, was urgently recalled to the imperial capital.

The turmoil in Shanghai's officialdom has caused anxiety in all walks of life, and people generally feel an inexplicable fear. The hospital where Jin Ling works is also affected and has to temporarily close. Jin Ling and Yan Minnan are keenly aware that all this may not only be a local problem in Shanghai, but also that something has happened in the imperial capital. Otherwise, why would even a figure like Zhang Beichuan be recalled?

Jin Ling and Yan Minnan speculated that Zhang Beichuan must have been behind Lou Feng's resignation. After all, the financier behind Lou Feng had given up on him, and the person who did it was probably Zhang Beichuan. Faced with such a complicated situation, Jin Ling and Yan Minnan decided to temporarily close the hospital and wait for the situation to become clearer. For them, this hospital was just opened to make life less dull, and it was not indispensable. Since the situation was unclear, why bother yourself to overwork yourself?

The people who were most hurt by Jin Ling and Yan Minnan's actions were the patients. These patients had been receiving treatment here and were full of trust and reliance on this hospital. However, the sudden closure of the hospital made the patients extremely disappointed and confused. They thought they had found a reliable medical institution and could get good medical services, but now they were forced to find other solutions.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to patients who need long-term treatment or surgery. They have to reschedule their treatment plans and find new hospitals to continue their treatment. Some may face the risk of delayed treatment, while others will have to bear higher costs to go to other hospitals for treatment. In addition, for patients with financial difficulties, losing this cheap and highly skilled hospital is even more detrimental.

As for the doctors and nurses, they were not affected too much. Jin Ling provided them with paid leave, which means they can still get income without worrying about their livelihood. In contrast, they are more concerned about whether they can continue to work in the future and how to deal with this emergency. Some medical staff began to actively look for other job opportunities, hoping to return to normal life as soon as possible. At the same time, they are also paying attention to the Republican offensive, hoping to learn more about the national situation.

Jin Ling and Yan Minnan were glad for their decision to close the hospital early. Although they knew that this decision would cause some inconvenience, they believed that protecting their family's safety was more important. They were shocked and confused when they learned that the Republicans had broken in. According to the historical trajectory, China should have won, but the reality was completely the opposite. This made them realize that the world has changed and no longer develops according to the history they are familiar with. Faced with such a situation, Jin Ling and Yan Minnan decided to remain vigilant and observe the development of the situation. They are well aware of the uncertainties and dangers brought about by war and must be prepared for various possible situations.

Jin Ling frowned and asked Yan Minnan with some concern: "Tell me, is this a good thing or a bad thing? How could it happen so quickly? I always feel unsure."

Yan Minnan pondered for a moment, then said: "Of course it's a good thing! In this way, China can achieve unification, and the people will no longer have to live in war. Moreover, it is great that China can end the war now. While other countries are still fighting, we can vigorously develop ourselves, so that we don't have to worry about being looked down upon by foreigners."

After listening to Yan Minnan's words, Jin Ling nodded thoughtfully. She suddenly remembered the world she once lived in. For some reason, that country had experienced a difficult period. People were hungry, sleepless, and suffered contempt and ridicule from others. Isn't all this because the country's development is relatively lagging behind? Later, when the country gradually became stronger, not only did foreigners look at us with new eyes, but they even had to act according to our mood. At the end of the world, only her own country remained united, and those foreigners had long been extinct. Thinking of this, Jin Ling's doubts gradually dissipated, and she was full of expectations for the future.

Jin Ling thought it through and didn't care about the hospital being closed. However, when Jin Ling and Yan Minnan were happily taking care of the children at home, Lin Junshan suddenly received the task of finding a way to persuade the Qin family army to surrender.

Lin Junshan knew very well that the city defense army in Shanghai was the Qin family army. However, although the two sides were in a state of pre-war confrontation, they had not yet opened fire. The reason for this was that the Qin family army itself was not completely affiliated with the Southern system. They were originally a warlord army, and later joined the Southern system because they did not want to be too conspicuous. At that time, the Southern system was still regarded as orthodox.

However, as time went by, the situation changed. Due to the invasion of Japan, the Qin family army chose to confront the Japanese head-on. Now, the Qin family army has a new idea. The old man of the Qin family is well aware of the complex relationships within the southern system. When he learned that many families with backgrounds and identities have sent their children abroad, he became worried. In order to protect the safety of his family, he decided to send all his sons away. Even the eldest son and his children left together, leaving only the eldest son with him.

The current leader of the Qin family army is the young commander of the Qin family, who is also the eldest son of the old man, so he is qualified to stay here. Lin Junshan’s task is to have a good talk with the young commander of the Qin family to see if this war can be avoided.

The Qin family used to be a lively family, but now there are only two people left, which seems particularly deserted. Young Marshal Qin looked at his father and asked softly: "Father, how do you think this matter should be handled? Should we go to war with them?" Old Man Qin glared at his eldest son fiercely and said unhappily: "Why, do you want to go to war?" Young Marshal Qin also glared back at his father without showing any weakness, and retorted: "If I wanted to go to war, I would have started it on the first day they arrived at the city. Why would I drag it on until now? I just don't know what the Republicans' intentions are."

The father and son looked at each other without saying anything. At this time, the housekeeper came and said that someone was looking for them. Their first reaction was that the Republicans had come.
