Although the old lady did not bear the Lin surname and had no blood relation to Lin Zhennan,
there are some people, some relationships, that even without any blood ties, offer a sense of closeness and care surpassing that of familial bonds.
Lin Zhennan had known the old lady for over thirty years!
Lin Zhennan clearly remembered that he had met her on his way to the southwestern frontier.
Initially, it seemed that the old lady was being chased and severely injured; she met Lin Zhennan halfway and begged him to save her. At first, Lin Zhennan hesitated.
At that time, he was heading to the southwest to annihilate an army from a local state that had always been harassing the residents along the Huaxia border. The old lady's background was unclear, and as a woman who was gravely injured, who knew what had happened and whom she had provoked!
Back then, many people had advised him not to meddle and even suggested that Lin Zhennan kill the old lady!
