Even though Lin Weihao’s grandfather had long abandoned the military scene because of his disease, his prestige as a retired 4-star general and long line of accomplishments had always been valued by the military, allowing him to keep a small office even after service.
Lin Weihao’s grandfather was called Lin Jianjun.
His first name literally translates to ’building an army.’.
Lin Jianjun’s father was a decorated general too, and the former seems to inherit his father’s fierceness, stubbornness, and skills.
He became one of the youngest generals in his generation.
It was not surprising to those who knew the Lin family, since there were rumors that the Lin family’s ancestors were also famous military figures in the past.
The soldiers stationed at the checkpoint outside the gate of the Main Headquarters saw Lin Daxia appearing so suddenly.
They recognized her since Lin Daxia, like his father-in-law, Lin Jianjun, she also served the army as a lieutenant colonel in the past until she became pregnant with Lin Weihao’s brother.
She devoted her days to raising children afterwards.
"Is my father-in-law inside?"
"Yes." The soldiers didn’t keep her at the checkpoint.
They opened the gates after addressing and saluting her respectfully.
Lin Daxia quickly headed inside. Her strides were hurried, leaving heavy tracks on the snow.
The main headquarters was a three-story building divided into three.
The center of the left wing is where the Chief of Staff’s office is located.
Besides the big room is her father-in-law’s office.
An elderly man came out of the Chief of Staff’s room holding a wooden cane in his hand.
Despite his steps a little unsteady, his back straight and ramrod.
His brown eyes were piercing and sharp, brows shaped like swords, making the crow feet wrinkles under his eyes less noticeable.
He had thick white hair that was loosely swept back, showing off his thick locks.
His white bear had grown long, reaching to half of his neck.
As the chilly breeze blew by, his hair and beard would fluttered, catching snowflakes.
Lin Jianjun rubbed his hair to shake them off.
"Father-in-law!"
The sharpness in his expression dulled as he saw Lin Daxia, his daughter-in-law, striding towards him.
He struck the floor with his cane, creating a loud thud, before lightly admonishing her, "This is the Chief of Staff’s office. How could you have recklessly barged in?"
Lin Daxia had no time to explain and only said to him, "Your grandson is injured! Send someone to look for him! Or better yet, let me borrow one of your tanks. I’ll drive it myself!"
Lin Jianjun’s cane hung midair upon Lin Daxia’s words.
The stone-faced Lin Weihao came to Lin Jianjun’s mind, and his expression mirrored Lin Daxia’s, like someone who was on the verge of going to war.
"That stubborn brat is injured?! Quickly, let’s go to Colonel Tang…"
Lin Daxia saw her father in law had difficulty keeping pace, she quickly told him to return to the house, but the old man was very stubborn.
Even ten big bulls couldn’t hold him back.
"My grandson is injured. How can I remain sitting in the house!"
But to their bad luck, Colonel Tang had just also gone out on a mission.
Even most of the Lin Family’s subordinates were not around.
