After more than four hours of travel, Ye Bosen finally arrived in the capital.

Zhang Qi took him directly to a very secluded villa, which was purchased under someone else's name so that no one would find out.

"Boss, I'll be going now. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid others will become suspicious."

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll message you if anything comes up."

"good."

As the old man's birthday banquet drew closer, Ye Boxuan's heart grew increasingly uneasy, feeling that something was about to slip out of his control.

Inside the club, Ye Boxuan and Meng Tianze sat together, each holding a glass of red wine.

"Second Master, you look so pale and tired. Are you sick?"

"No, it's just that I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, like something might be slipping out of my control."

"What does Second Master think it is?"

"It's all because of my older brother. I always felt that my older brother wouldn't die so easily. He's been cunning since he was a child."

"Second Master, do you think your eldest brother isn't dead? Didn't those men say he'd been gnawed down to the bones?"

"But we can't be sure if that bone belongs to my older brother. What if it doesn't?"

“As long as he is hit by the poisoned bullet, I believe he will die without a doubt. Second Master, you must trust my abilities. Currently, only my master in China can cure this kind of poison. But as I told you, my master travels all over the world, and the chances of encountering him are very low.”

"That's true, and it's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but you don't know my older brother. He's been lucky since he was a child, and he's also very cunning. Anything is possible for him." After saying that, he picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back, and drank it down in one gulp, then slammed the glass heavily on the table.

"Then send more people to keep an eye on him. Once they discover your elder brother's whereabouts, intercept and kill him immediately."

"Did your grandfather poison his car?"

“I’ve already given him the medicine twice, and I plan to increase the dosage in the next few days. I want to force him to announce me as the heir at the banquet. Once he announces me as the heir, even if my elder brother manages to come back by chance, it will be too late.”

Just then, Ye Boxuan's phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from the old house, his face instantly turned grim.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Second Young Master, something terrible has happened! The Old Master... he suddenly fainted! The doctors are trying to resuscitate him!"

Ye Boxuan was startled, and the wine glass in his hand almost slipped from his grasp.

"What happened?"

"The specifics are unclear, but the old man did collapse suddenly, and his condition is very serious!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Boxuan's eyes were filled with anxiety.

"What happened? I only administered the medicine twice, and my grandfather has already fallen ill. Didn't you say the medicine was slow-acting?" Ye Boxuan stared at Meng Tianze, his eyes reddening.

Did you take too much?

"No, I've only used a very small amount."

"That shouldn't be the case?" Meng Tianze feigned surprise.

Ye Boxuan didn't waste any more words with him. He was very anxious and hurriedly left the club with his car keys.

Zhang Qi, who was in the Ye Group office, also received the news and quickly sent it to Ye Bosen.

What's the current situation?

"I'm not quite sure yet. I'll ask the people we arranged at the old house right away. They just said that the old man suddenly fainted while eating and was rushed to the hospital. We don't know the specifics yet."

"Then send someone to find out right away, you can call my mother."

"good."

An hour later, Zhang Qi replied, saying that the old man's blood contained toxins, but the doctors were unsure what kind of toxin it was. Everyone was at a loss, and even the experts were helpless. They had never seen this kind of toxin before and didn't know how to detoxify it.

This poison is extremely potent; if it isn't treated immediately, the old man's life may be in danger.

"Arrange a plane for me, I'll go back to the mountains right away."

"Boss, shouldn't we be at the hospital now?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with the arrangements. If we're late, we might miss it."

"good."

Zhang Qi urgently dispatched a private plane, and Ye Bosen boarded it and headed into the mountains. He was filled with unease, hoping to catch up and rescue his grandfather. His grandfather had always been the kindest person to him since childhood, and he had always looked up to him as a role model.

Outside the hospital's emergency room, a large crowd had gathered. Relatives from the eldest son's family, the second son's family, and some collateral branches of the Ye family had all arrived. No one wanted to fall behind at this crucial moment. The old man's sudden illness and his daughter-in-law's condition were unexpected, and they had heard that the situation was extremely dangerous. They didn't know if she could pull through.

"Why did the old man suddenly fall ill?" a lady in a blue cheongsam asked softly from the corner.

This person is the eldest daughter-in-law of the second master, and she has a sharp and mean face.

"Who knows?" The second daughter-in-law didn't care at all; she was just there to join in the fun.

"Oh dear, I overheard the doctor say that the old man has been poisoned," the younger daughter-in-law whispered. She was a gossip, and had been very lively since the beginning, spreading rumors everywhere.

"Poisoning? No way, who would poison the old man?" The eldest daughter-in-law was shocked.

"Looks like some people can't wait any longer."

"That's true. None of the eldest son's family members are easy to deal with."

"This is karma coming back to bite them."

"Let's buy some melon seeds, crack them open, and watch the show."

"Sister-in-law is right. Let's enjoy the show. It's going to be very exciting."

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, I agree."

Three ill-intentioned noblewomen huddled in the corner, whispering and laughing sarcastically.

Looking at the entrance to the emergency room, the eldest brother, Ye Lancheng, was pacing anxiously around the room, extremely worried. His father had been radiant and full of energy just a while ago, but now he was lying unconscious in the hospital. Who was it? Who wanted to harm his father? He clenched his fists, veins bulging, and the corners of his eyes began to redden.

Seeing her husband's anxious expression, Li Yanmei was also very worried. She couldn't get through to her son on the phone, and she was really afraid that the old man would pass away before the heir could be announced. Now that her son was gone, she was really afraid that her second son and his family would take over the position directly.

As she pondered this, she took out her phone again and dialed Ye Bosen's number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached." A sweet, mechanical voice came from the other end.

"What's going on with Ah Sen? Why can't I get through on the phone? It's driving me crazy!"

Looking at the chairs next to the emergency room, Ye Lanhong and his family were all sitting there. Ye Lanhong was holding his head in his hands, looking like he was in great pain. His wife was patting his back. Although his family was not highly regarded, Ye Lanhong was a very filial son. He was also very anxious if his father was lying in a hospital bed with his life hanging in the balance.
