Lin Chen hung up the phone, bid farewell to Elder Sun and the Mu father and son, and rushed to the hospital.
That morning, Li Yuqing had gone to the supermarket to shop when she was forcibly dragged into a car by two men in black.
Fortunately, the agents tasked with protecting Li Yuqing intervened, forcing the car to stop and rescuing her.
However, during the struggle, Li Yuqing sustained minor injuries to her arm and was being bandaged.
Lin Chen arrived at the hospital and, seeing Li Yuqing with her arm in bandages, felt immensely guilty.
Two agents approached and said, "Advisor Lin, we failed to protect Miss Yuqing adequately."
Lin Chen shook his head, "You did well. Were the people caught?"
"They were caught, but these two are tough, they won't disclose anything," one of the agents replied.
Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, I understand."
Although Li Yuqing's injuries were minor, Lin Chen decided to have her stay in the hospital for a few more days. After all, it was safer here with the agents watching over her.
A murderous intent swirled in Lin Chen's eyes as he walked outside.
As he reached the door of a hospital room, Lin Chen heard sobbing inside and paused to look in.
He saw a woman kneeling before a doctor, "Doctor, please, save my father!"
"I'm sorry, but we cannot treat the patient until the surgery fee is paid in full," the doctor said emotionlessly.
"We are gathering the money. Please, go ahead with the surgery, we will surely pay," the woman pleaded desperately on her knees.
"Doctor Ma, the patient's condition is very critical; he needs surgery immediately, or he could die at any moment," a nurse said anxiously.
Doctor Ma scoffed, "No money, no surgery. Those are the hospital's rules."
"But, if we don't operate, this patient will die," the nurse said, unable to bear it.
"What does that have to do with us, Li Yu? Don't you think you're talking too much?" Doctor Ma coldly retorted.
Just then, the heart monitor began beeping alarmingly, and amidst the old man's heavy gasps, the monitor showed a flat line.
"Dad!" the woman threw herself onto her father.
At that moment, a man came bursting into the room.
As he passed by Lin Chen, Lin Chen felt a chill because he sensed a heavy murderous aura on this man.
Such an aura only existed on someone who had killed, and the more people one had killed, the heavier the aura.
The man who just entered, had a dense murderous aura, hinting he was responsible for the lives of at least dozens.
The man rushed to the bedside, and upon seeing the old man lying there, immediately burst into tears and threw himself over him.
"Dad, your son arrived too late." The man then stood up and pulled out stack after stack of renminbi from his pocket.
"Doctor, please save my father. If you can save him, all this money is yours," the young man cried out heart-wrenchingly.
The money scattered on the floor amounted to a million, making the doctor and the nurse exchange awkward glances.
The woman and the old man had been dressed in very plain clothes, and in their wildest dreams, they would not have expected to have such a wealthy son.
The woman stood up, angrily said, "What use is it for you to come now, Dad's already dead. These doctors wouldn't operate without money and killed our father."
Hearing the woman's words, the man's expression turned cold, and a chilling intent burst forth.
"You bastard, as a doctor you watched a patient die without treating him. You deserve to die." Saying this, the man stood up and walked towards the doctor.
"What are you doing? This is a hospital, it's the hospital's rule, we can't operate without money, I can't do anything about it," Dr. Ma retreated two steps, arguing.
A murderous look flashed in the man's eyes, "You like money, don't you?"
Saying that, the man suddenly reached out with his right arm, grabbed Dr. Ma's throat, and shoved a stack of bills into his mouth.
"You like money, fine, I'll give it to you, I'll give it!"
"Mmmm!" Dr. Ma flailed his legs as he was about to be choked to death by the man.
Just then, his hand was caught by Lin Chen, "Put him down first, your father can still be saved."
"What?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the man paused, then threw Dr. Ma to the ground.
"Are you serious? Please, save my father, I'll give you ten million, no, even a billion," the man said desperately, grabbing Lin Chen's hand.
Lin Chen said indifferently, "Please have everyone leave and wait outside."
"Okay, okay!" The man stood up, his eyes again showing fierceness.
"All of you bastards get out!" The man said, dragging Dr. Ma by the neck and hauling him out.
Dr. Ma, who had been arrogant just moments before, was so scared that he had wet his pants, not realizing that he had offended a ruthlessly wealthy man.
"Kid, if my father is fine, I might spare your life, but if my father dies, you will take his place," the man said menacingly.
"What?" Hearing the man's words, the doctor was so frightened he almost passed out.
The old man's heart had already stopped beating, apparently dead, which meant he might also be killed by the man.
Once everyone had left the room, Lin Chen quickly went to the old man's side and placed his hand on the old man's chest.
Streams of green life energy entered the old man's body.
Although the old man's heartbeat had stopped, he wasn't truly dead yet, still holding onto a thread of vitality.
Of course, if a few more minutes passed and this thread of vitality also vanished, then the man would indeed be dead, even Lin Chen's life energy would hardly save him.
With the influx of life energy, the monitor suddenly beeped, and the previously flat line of the heartbeat monitor began to fluctuate.
Those standing at the door, hearing the noise inside, were stunned. That was the sound of the monitor. How was this possible? Could that man truly have revived the old man?
Lin Chen had already diagnosed the old man's condition outside, it was a cerebral thrombosis; several blood vessels in his brain were blocked. If there had been immediate surgery, there would have been a slim chance. But the unethical doctor had missed the critical treatment window. If not for Lin Chen, the old man would definitely have died.
Placing his hand on the old man's head, streams of life energy entered the old man's body, and soon the blocked blood vessels were cleared.
The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Chen with a surprised expression.
"Old man, how do you feel?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
"I, where am I?" the old man asked with some confusion.
Hearing the conversation inside, the man excitedly pushed open the door and rushed in.
