"what?"

Upon hearing that Qiu Meizi's left hand had not been removed from the bullet, Lin Yunhai wore an incredulous expression.

He clearly remembered Qiu Meizi saying that the bullet had been removed.

Seeing that he genuinely didn't know, Hu Zhongming explained, "The injury on her left hand hadn't been treated until we brought you back."

"But you don't need to worry. The aftereffects aren't too bad. It's just that the wound might hurt a bit on rainy days."

Lin Yunhai felt uneasy and wanted to go see Qiu Meizi: "No, I have to go see her myself."

"It's no use you going there, she's still not awake. Now you need to answer some of my questions."

Saving people isn't something done for free; there are conditions attached. It's just a matter of whether Lin Yunhai can fulfill those conditions.

"Commander Hu, please speak."

"Are the weapons you traded with Manusa and the Gatling guns your men brought in the same class?"

Lin Yunhai shook his head.

Compared to the Gatling gun, the Barrett is far inferior.

"Commander, rest assured, although I urgently need money, I will not do anything that would harm the national interest. The Bartlett sold to Manusha is a low-level weapon that our arsenal is about to discard."

"The Gatling gun is far more effective than the Barrett; it's a weapon for large-area attacks, and I originally developed it for military use."

Hu Zhongming was very satisfied with Lin Yunhai's answer.

People can be greedy, but they must have a bottom line and not make money against their conscience.

As for the Gatling gun designed by Lin Yunhai, he really liked it and had already tried it out while Lin Yunhai was in a coma.

It is precisely because I have tried it that I love it so much and desperately want to own it.

"How about we make a deal? I want Gatling guns, and you can mass-produce them for me?"

Lin Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Cooperating with you is no problem, but it will take a few days. I haven't received the equipment I want yet, and producing Gatling guns is not easy."

"But don't worry, I've already contacted the sellers for those devices, and they can be imported at any time."

Once the new equipment arrives, producing Gatling guns will no longer be a dream.

"Okay, but you have to give me these five. It's not appropriate for you to keep such powerful weapons around."

Hu Zhongming and his men are regular soldiers. Once war breaks out, they will be the first to go to the battlefield. Therefore, Lin Yunhai can fully meet his small request.

"Since Commander Hu likes it, then I'll give it to you. However, Gatling guns aren't cheap, and I can't let the workers behind me suffer losses."

Lin Yunhai made it very clear that he would not give weapons to the military region for free; if they wanted them, they would have to pay to buy them.

"Don't worry, you'll get your share of the price. I understand what you're saying."

After all, he was the teacher's grandson, and he never intended to take advantage of Lin Yunhai from the beginning.

The two were genuinely interested in collaborating, so they discussed the details of the partnership.

After the two finalized the details, Hu Zhongming even had someone get them a contract.

After signing the contract, Hu Zhongming got what he wanted and stopped bothering Lin Yunhai.

He could tell that Lin Yunhai's mind was currently focused on the injured girl.

"One last question for you: since you knew this deal was dangerous, why did you still go in person?"

“I heard that Manusa gave you half of the deposit in advance, so even if you don’t complete the order, you can still make a small profit.”

This is the point that puzzled Hu Zhongming the most.

Knowing it was dangerous, Lin Yunhai still risked rushing forward; he didn't seem like such a foolish person.

"I just want to know just how chaotic things are in Sanjinjiao right now."

"As far as this matter is concerned, Sanjinjiao's situation is still special. It's not the most critical moment yet, otherwise he wouldn't have been willing to send so many mercenaries out to kill me."

If the internal strife in Sanjinjiao isn't chaotic enough, it's actually quite good for them; at least the border guards will have a much easier time.

Because they won't cause trouble at the border anytime soon.

"Another point is that I am a businessman. I need to promote my products. There are still many large orders overseas waiting for me to find. I can't let Manusa ruin them. After all, businessmen value integrity."

He didn't want to give up such a big market as Sanjinjiao.

As long as that batch of weapons circulates in Sanjinjiao, more and more people will want to trade with him in the future.

Hu Zhongming looked at his undisguised ambition and couldn't help but admire him.

However, on the surface, he still admonished her: "I know you are a capable person, but if one day your ability is no longer for the country, then I will not forgive you for the sake of your teacher."

He may admire Lin Yunhai, but if Lin Yunhai does something wrong, he will take immediate action.

Because he will not allow a cancerous tumor that harms the country to exist.

"Don't worry, I understand. Protecting my country is my bottom line."

"That's the best."

After hearing his words, Hu Zhongming chose to believe him and left the ward directly.

As soon as Hu Zhongming left, Lin Yunhai rushed to the next ward.

On the hospital bed, Qiu Meizi, pale-faced, remained unconscious.

He walked over, sat down in front of the hospital bed, gently took Qiu Meizi's hand, and whispered, "Why were you so foolish? What if your left hand is ruined?"

This is also his fault; he believed Qiu Meizi's words without checking carefully at the time.

Lin Yunhai raised his hand to tidy up the stray hairs on her forehead and continued, "Don't sleep too long. We just secured a big order today. Since you care so much about the arsenal, you need to wake up early. We need to go back and do business."

The person in the hospital bed remained silent, not answering him a single word.

Lin Yunhai didn't think anything of it and sat down next to her, chatting away.

"Master, you're awake."

Xu Bao rushed in from outside the door and was extremely excited to see that Lin Yunhai had woken up.

"Master, you're finally awake! Do you know how scared I was? When I found you, Director Qiu and you were covered in blood. It was terrifying."

Hu Zhongming's men found Xu Bao, and then Xu Bao led them to find Lin Yunhai and his group.

Qiu Meizi was quite persistent, carrying Lin Yunhai on her back for most of the night until she saw Xu Bao before finally passing out.

"I'm fine, my wounds are fine, it's just that she hasn't woken up yet."

Seeing his worried look, Xu Bao said, "Master, don't worry. The doctor said she's exhausted too much, so she needs to sleep more."

"By the way, what happened at the time? I rushed over to find you after I heard the gunshot, but I was too late. I only saw Jinsha's body."

Lin Yunhai gave a brief explanation of the situation, omitting the fact that he had confessed his feelings to Qiu Meizi.
