At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright and the sun was shining after the typhoon.
The hospital wasn't a five-star hotel; it didn't use professional blackout curtains. Lin An was woken up by the light.
Perhaps it was the effect of the health charm, but even though he woke up very early, he still felt full of energy.
Xu Mo, who was sleeping on the cot, was awakened by the sound of Lin An getting up. He rubbed his eyes and sat up.
Xu Mo glanced at the time and said sleepily:
"Let's go have breakfast quickly, and then I'll take you to the exam venue." His voice was a little hoarse because he was too tired from yesterday.
"No rush, let's go see Lin Zhe after we finish eating." Lin An's voice was deep and powerful, not at all like someone who had just been on the verge of life and death.
"Huh? If you go to the Lin family now, you might be late for the exam. Why don't we wait until after the exam?"
Lin An stood by the window and saw several puddles in the yard. He said:
“There was a typhoon yesterday, so he might not be staying at home. He might be staying at a hotel near the exam venue.”
"Shall we go to the exam hall and wait for him?"
"Do you have Yu Yuntian's phone number? Give it to me."
Lin Anxin thought to himself that with so many people in the examination hall, it might be inconvenient to deal with Lin Zhe.
Xu Mo quickly sent Yu Yuntian's business card, and Lin An dialed the number.
Yu Yuntian, still asleep, was awakened by the vibration of his phone. He had returned home at 2 a.m. last night and had only slept for a total of four hours.
Afraid of missing an important call, Yu Yuntian struggled to open his sleepy eyelids. Seeing that the caller ID was an unfamiliar number—probably some kind of sales call—his anger flared instantly, and he immediately started cursing.
"Damn it, where did this idiot come from? He's got a death wish, disturbing my sleep!"
"I am Lin An!"
Upon hearing the name Lin An, Yu Yuntian immediately sobered up. Who was Lin An? That kid could summon heavenly lightning, but Yu Yuntian wasn't afraid of that. He only ever cheated on women, not men. He couldn't afford to offend Lin An and get struck by lightning. But the power behind him was the Tong family of Beijing. He couldn't afford to offend them, he really couldn't afford to offend them.
Yu Yuntian sprang to his knees on the bed with a swift movement, and apologized respectfully: "Young Master Lin, I was wrong. I was blind and didn't recognize your voice."
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Help me find out where Lin Zhe is."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
Yu Yuntian immediately dialed Lin Rou's number.
Lin Rou had set a special ringtone for her boyfriend, and when she saw that the caller was her beloved Yun Tian, a shy smile bloomed on her face.
With such a big incident at home, and her eldest sister and third sister not returning all night, Lin Rou was worried and didn't sleep well. Afraid that her voice wouldn't sound good and would displease Yu Yuntian, she coughed a few times to adjust her tone before answering the phone.
"Brother, did you miss me the moment you opened your eyes?" Lin Rou's voice was groggy and sweetly cute.
"Stop being a fucking jerk! Tell me where Lin Zhe is right now!" Yu Yuntian was extremely impatient. He was already fed up with Lin Rou. If it weren't for helping Lin An with his business, he wouldn't have bothered contacting her again.
He usually uses the silent treatment when dumping girls, refusing to break up or talk to them, until they lose hope and the breakup happens on its own.
Hearing Yu Yuntian's words, Lin Rou felt extremely wronged. She could only tell herself to endure it, to endure until the clouds parted and the moon shone through, and that things would be alright once she married into the Yu family.
She replied with a pitiful expression, "Xiao Zhe isn't home; he's staying at a hotel."
"Send me the hotel location!" Yu Yuntian said coldly, then hung up the phone.
Lin Rou wanted to exchange a few tender words, but the other party didn't give her the chance at all. She obediently sent Lin Zhe's hotel location.
She had a vague feeling that she held no place in Yun Tian's heart, and she felt a little flustered. She could only keep telling herself to stay calm and that Brother Yun Tian was just in a bad mood today.
Lin An looked at the address Yu Yuntian had sent in the phone message, and a cold smile appeared on his face:
"Xu Mo, let's go!"
The hotel across from the exam hall was full of students and parents waiting for the exam. Lin Xi woke up in the morning and went to the restaurant to have breakfast by herself.
Lin Haoran, who was staying here with Lin Zhe, thoughtfully packed a breakfast and delivered it to Lin Zhe's room so that Lin Zhe could get some more sleep and be well-rested to prepare for the exam.
Because the poisoning was successful, Lin Zhe was so excited that he barely slept all night. Xiao An Company was within his grasp, and the college entrance exam was nothing to him.
Both father and son had beaming smiles and were in high spirits.
"Good son, eat more, get into a prestigious university, and bring honor to the Lin family." Lin Haoran's joy was palpable.
"Yes, don't worry, Dad, I've got everything ready."
Lin Haoran naturally understood that the preparations Lin Zhe mentioned were not just about knowledge reserves, but also about some cheating methods. However, he didn't care. Even if someone took the exam for him, so what? As long as the results were good, that was enough.
Lin Zhe took a few sips of porridge and suddenly felt uneasy. He looked at Lin Haoran and asked, "Dad, you will always stand by my side, right?"
"Of course, you're my only son. Who else would I side with if not you?" Lin Haoran's tone carried a hint of reproach. Why ask such an obvious question?
Lin Zhe gave a few forced laughs, but in his heart he was actually very puzzled. Lin An was also of the Lin family bloodline, so why did Lin Haoran only like him and treat Lin An so coldly?
After the two finished breakfast, Lin Haoran carefully checked Lin Zhe's exam supplies, and everything was in order:
"Alright, let's get ready to go, son. Dad wishes you the best of luck!"
"Thank you, Dad. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Lin Haoran opened his arms and embraced Lin Zhe tightly, a touching scene of fatherly love and filial piety.
With a loud bang, the hotel room door was kicked open, and Lin An appeared in front of the two men menacingly, followed by Brother Long and more than a dozen men in black.
Lin Haoran and Lin Zhe stood there in shock. Lin An was not dead!
Lin Haoran froze for a few seconds before reacting first. He shoved Lin Zhe aside, tugged at his tie a couple of times, looking like he'd been caught cheating.
"Xiao An, what brings you here? Are you taking the college entrance exam today? Why aren't you at the exam hall?"
His questioning tone betrayed his guilt, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he hadn't personally administered the poison. As long as he pretended not to know, it would all be unrelated to him.
Lin An's face was cold as he roared, "You old bastard, stop pretending! Do you know I was almost poisoned to death by Lin Zhe?"
Lin Haoran feigned shock, covering his mouth with one hand: "What? You were poisoned? I don't know, I don't know anything!"
His acting was so bad that Lin An wanted to laugh. Maybe he didn't know that Lin Zhe had poisoned him, but he certainly didn't know anything as he claimed.
Lin Wan and Lin Xia both knew he had been poisoned and hospitalized, so it was impossible for them not to tell Lin Haoran.
But Lin Haoran and Zhang Wanru, the couple, didn't show up at all. Does this need any explanation? It's obvious that they don't care about their own lives or deaths, and might even be hoping for their own demise.
