"The situation in Xiangxi is complicated, so it's understandable that Liao Yangmai isn't seeing visitors," Li Yang said while waiting.
After about three minutes, the Security Chief hurried back to report. "Director Li, I'm sorry, but Clan Leader Liao's condition is serious and he is very weak. It's not suitable for him to meet anyone right now. Please come back when he feels better," the Security Chief said politely.
Li Yang frowned; it seemed that even his status couldn't help him here, which left him feeling somewhat embarrassed. "It's precisely because his condition is serious that I need to see him. I'm here to help," Li Yang said in a deep voice.
"Clan Leader Liao knows you are here to help, but he just said thank you for your kindness. However, in this situation, Director Li, you may not be able to do anything. Clan Leader Liao mentioned that only that expert from Huaxia could assist him," the Security Chief replied.
"Which expert? Is it the one Liao Yangmai believes can deal with the Holy Witch Cult?" Li Yang asked.
"I don't know, Director Li. Please don't put me in a difficult position. I'm currently employed by the Liao Family, and I must follow Clan Leader Liao's orders. You should leave for now and perhaps leave a contact number. When Clan Leader Liao feels better, I'll call you," the Security Chief said respectfully.
"Since I've come today, I certainly won't leave empty-handed. I must see him. Go report again; if he still refuses, I'll have no choice but to force my way in," Li Yang stated, clearly displeased.
He had come to resolve the disaster in Xiangxi and was taken aback that Liao Yangmai wouldn't even grant him an audience. Under normal circumstances, it might have been acceptable, but today Zeng Xianyi was also present. This area fell under his jurisdiction in the Southwest Military Region; not being granted this small favor would only lead to ridicule.
"Alright, I'll report again," the Security Chief said helplessly. Seeing Li Yang's demeanor indicated he held a high rank in the military, he couldn't afford to offend him and had no choice but to brace himself and go back inside.
In the intensive care unit, Liao Yangmai lay on the hospital bed, his limbs rendered useless while only his head could move. Once a spirited figure of great renown, he now found himself in this pitiful state and felt ashamed to face anyone. He understood why Li Yang had come but believed that Li Yang wouldn't be able to help him. Moreover, if the Holy Witch Cult learned of his contact with the authorities, they might lose their last bit of patience and wipe out the Liao Family.
"Clan Leader, why don’t we just submit to the Holy Witch Cult? If this continues, our century-old foundation will be destroyed," one of the family members suggested.
"Yes, Clan Leader. We are no match for the Holy Witch Cult; opposing them leads only to death," another added.
"Now the Sha Family, Ma Family, Wu Family, and even the Long Family have all submitted to the Holy Witch Cult. Our resistance is futile," another voice chimed in.
"Clan Leader, you must consider the entire Liao Family. I know you are pinning your hopes on Mr. Jiang as mentioned by Clan Leader Li, but we have no information about this Mr. Jiang at all; how can we rely on him?" they urged.
It turned out that Liao Yangmai had some connections with Li Hai Feng, the leader of the Corpse Refining Clan. After losing to Jiang Chen last time and visiting Xiangxi, Li Hai Feng had shared stories about Jiang Chen's prowess with Liao Yangmai. Initially thinking that Li Hai Feng was already a top expert, Liao Yangmai was surprised to learn there was someone named Jiang Chen in Huaxia with such remarkable skills.
