At Jiren Hospital, in the parking lot, Master Qin held up a huge umbrella, shielding Zhou Shengren's head. Large raindrops fell onto the black umbrella fabric, splashing up a layer of water.
Master Qin specially arranged for a Jiangling Ford Transit to facilitate the transportation of medical equipment.
Brother Long, along with his men, escorted the medical staff to the vehicle while holding umbrellas.
Seeing that everything was in order, Zhou Shengren, with a solemn expression, immediately said, "Get in the car, let's go!"
Qin Siye whispered a reminder, "Young Master, he's still inside."
"Let's go first." Zhou Shengren's tone was exceptionally cold!
The group set off in a grand procession, with seven or eight black Mercedes-Benz cars speeding along the Haishi Expressway toward the hospital where Lin An was located.
At this moment, Zhou Shengren felt a lot of dissatisfaction with his son Zhou Chen. He couldn't understand who could be more important than his father's savior.
He feared that the son he had placed so much hope in was a heartless and ungrateful person, or at least someone who was careless and didn't know what was important. He casually said, "Dad, I think I saw someone I know. You guys go ahead," and then left.
In fact, Zhou Chen was far more thorough in his actions than Zhou Shengren had imagined, but the situation was urgent and he didn't want to waste time explaining.
The familiar face he saw was Lin Wan. He knew that the Lin family had complicated relationships, and without knowing the Lin family's attitude, it would be better for his father to leave quickly with the medical staff and equipment.
Zhou Chen saw Lin Wan enter the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy and quickly followed her in.
"Miss Lin!"
Lin Wan turned around and was a little surprised to see that the person who called her was Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen actually remembered her!
She and Zhou Chen had only met once at President Zhou's birthday banquet. Although Lin Haoran had the idea of bringing the two together, Zhou Chen was surrounded by beautiful women that day, including many young ladies from wealthy families, and even ambitious women like Lin Rou who took the initiative to chat with him. She herself was like a transparent person that day.
"Miss Lin, do you remember me? I'm Zhou Chen!" Seeing Lin Wan's stunned expression, Zhou Chen was afraid that she didn't recognize him, so he quickly introduced himself.
"I remember, we've met before."
"So, your family knows about this, right?" Zhou Chen asked tentatively.
"What? What happened?" Lin Wan asked, her face full of questions. She nervously gripped the bag of Chinese medicine she was carrying. Could it be that the news that Lin Zhe was a mistress's illegitimate child had already reached the Zhou family so quickly? But, given the Zhou family's status, they wouldn't care about such things, would they?
Lin Wan only had Lin An's contact information; Lin An had never saved her phone number, so naturally Xu Mo wouldn't notify her.
Zhou Chen glanced at the transparent bag in her hand, which contained boiled Chinese medicine. The words "Siwu Tang" were clearly printed on the medicine packet, and Zhou Chen knew that this was a commonly used tonic.
He felt a mix of emotions. Judging from Lin Wan's bewildered reaction, she didn't know that Lin An was going to die.
Lin An lay in the hospital, his life hanging by a thread, not even knowing who the murderer was. His family was still thinking about giving him tonics, and considering that Lin Zhe, their illegitimate son, was taking the college entrance exam the next day, they might even be giving him tonics.
Zhou Chen misunderstood Lin Wan on this point. She bought this calming and heat-reducing tonic for Zhang Wanru, whose mother had been suffering from a huge shock and had been unable to eat or drink for the past few days.
"Young Master Zhou? What is it?" Lin Wan asked again.
"It's nothing, I misremembered. I'll be going now."
Not interfering in other people's family affairs is something Zhou Shengren has always taught him.
Lin Wan noticed the panic in Zhou Chen's expression, as if he was trying to hide something. She suddenly thought of Lin An. The only person in the Lin family who was closely related to the Zhou family was Lin An. Could it be that something had happened to Lin An?
She grabbed Zhou Chen's arm and asked anxiously, "Has something happened to Lin An?"
Zhou Chen looked conflicted. Lin Wan was quite clever, but he didn't know whether he should tell her the truth. Although Lin An had always emphasized that he had severed ties with the Lin family, even an upright official can't settle family disputes. Is there really anyone in this world who doesn't long for family affection? If Lin An were to pass away today, whether he would want his blood relatives by his side or not, no one knew.
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Chen pursed his lips and said, "Since you asked, I'll tell you."
"Lin An has been drugged and poisoned. He is currently in the hospital in critical condition and may not survive the day."
Upon hearing this news, Lin Wan felt dizzy and her vision went black.
Zhou Chen reacted quickly and caught Lin Wan, who was about to fall. The series of misfortunes at home had left her exhausted.
Lin An, her younger brother, the only one in the world who shared the same father and mother as her, was about to die.
Before she could even ask for his forgiveness, was he really going to die? Overwhelming guilt nearly consumed her. She regretted not having treated her younger brother better, and for joining her family in suppressing, misunderstanding, and wronging him. But was he really going to leave like this, without even giving her a chance to make up?
"Miss Lin! Miss Lin, are you alright?"
Lin Wan tried her best to control her emotions with reason, but her voice was already breaking into tears as she said, "Which hospital? Take me there, I need to see my brother."
Zhou Chen held Lin Wan tightly in his hands. He could feel her intense grief and fear. Lin Wan was trembling all over. At that moment, he felt a sense of relief. Lin An, there are relatives in this world who care about you.
"Come with me! I'll take you there."
Lin Wan followed Zhou Chen into the Zhou family's car.
Inside the Lin family villa, Zhang Wanru, with a bitter face, handed a suitcase that the nanny had packed to Lin Haoran.
Lin Haoran had booked a high-end hotel across from the examination hall and was preparing to take Lin Zhe and Lin Xi there in case the heavy rain caused traffic to be paralyzed and delayed their college entrance examination.
"You two, get in the car first."
Upon hearing Lin Haoran's words, Lin Zhe quickly went out and got into his car. The oppressive atmosphere in the Lin family made him extremely irritable.
Zhang Wanru affectionately patted Lin Xi's hair, raised her chin slightly, and gestured for her to go out.
Lin Haoran was very dissatisfied with Zhang Wanru's neglect of Lin Zhe. He looked out the window and saw that his son had already gotten into the car and was sitting down. He scolded Zhang Wanru, "Who are you looking at with that long face? Xiao Zhe has the college entrance examination tomorrow. If he doesn't do well, it's your fault. When we come back, you'd better control your temper. From now on, everything at home should be Xiao Zhe's priority."
Zhang Wanru felt wronged and angry. Her own son was also taking the college entrance examination tomorrow, and she didn't even know where he was. She didn't know if Lin An had prepared his exam supplies or booked a hotel. How was he going to get to the exam venue in this heavy rain?
On such an important day for her child, she knew nothing and could only see the mistress's child off. Is there anyone more pathetic than her?
She glared at Lin Haoran resentfully, cursing under her breath, but dared not say anything aloud. Lin Haoran was right; they were in the same boat. Without the Lin family, what good life could she possibly have? She should try to be optimistic; at least she still had ten years of life as a wealthy lady.
Seeing their parents facing off, Lin Xia and Lin Wan couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing another family war was about to break out.
Zhang Wanru's phone ringing broke the silence between the two.
"Mom! You need to get to Tonghua Hospital quickly, my brother is dying!"
