Huaqing Garden was Xu Ying's residence in Shanghai, only two streets away from the governor's headquarters.

At this moment, the garden was pitch black, with only a faint light on in the two-story Tingtao Pavilion.

The window of the attic facing the headquarters was open. Xu Fan and Xu Ying stood in front of the window with nervous expressions, staring at what was happening in the headquarters.

It was not until they saw fire burning in the governor's headquarters that the two men breathed a sigh of relief.

That should be the signing room that caught fire, which means the plan was successful.

As long as the people sent down are withdrawn in time, even if Lin Run is furious, he can only sigh in vain, right?

You're biting me without any evidence?

Xu Fan was about to scold Xu Ying a few more times, but his pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw that another building in the headquarters was on fire.

Then, fires broke out in all parts of the backyard.

"What the hell is this?" Xu Fan frowned and asked, "Didn't he just burn the signature and pledge the room?"

"Yes, if you don't withdraw quickly, it will be troublesome if Lin Run catches you." Xu Ying was so anxious that she stamped her feet and quickly asked Xu Ba to find out the situation.

Fortunately, the two didn't have to wait long before 'Zheng Dian' came back.

As soon as she saw him, Xu Ying couldn't wait to ask, "Did you get the account book?"

"Got it." Xu Qi took out the account book from his arms and handed it to Xu Ying with both hands.

Xu Ying snatched it away and quickly flipped through it. "Yes, this is the right book. Xu Liu, that bastard, always steals my money. I'm going to skin him alive!"

Xu Fan glanced at him with disgust, and then moved a little further away from his mentally retarded brother. He then questioned Zheng Dian, "Didn't I just ask you to burn the signature to secure the room? Why are you setting fires everywhere? What if Lin Run catches you?"

"This..." Zheng Dian was stunned and speechless.

"Did he find out?" Xu Fan's face changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "Then how did you come back? Was there anyone following you?!"

"Yes, that idiot Zheng Yuanshao was discovered by him, and then he betrayed me." Zheng Dian had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I had no choice but to knock him out and create the illusion that he was burned to death..."

"What?" Xu Ying was stunned.

"What? Say it again?!" Xu Fan was also stunned.

"You, what did you do to Lin Run?"

"Kill him." Zheng Dian whispered.

"Killed him?" Xu Fan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You killed the governor? Killing a governor for a few broken account books?!"

"You lunatic, who told you to act on your own?!" He was so angry that he kicked Zheng Dian to the ground.

Zheng Dian hurriedly got up from the ground, not daring to wipe the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, didn't he say that Lin Run found out about everything? If the man named Lin doesn't die, we will be the ones to die tomorrow." Xu Ying whispered something for Zheng Dian.

"It's you who's going to die, not us!" Xu Fan suddenly raised his voice, and angrily slapped Xu Ying to the ground with his backhand:

"Collaborating with the Japanese is your business alone. If you kill Lin Run, your whole family will be in trouble!"

Xu Ying fell to the ground with her face covered, thinking that was not bad, at least I didn't have to worry about being sold out by you guys.

Zheng Dian was his adopted son, so naturally he had to consider him, not the entire Xu family...

~~

After all, Xu Fan had seen many storms and waves, so he quickly suppressed his fear and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is Zheng Yuanshao, is he dead or alive?"

"Alive." Zheng Dian replied quickly.

"You've already done everything, why keep him around?" Xu Fan asked coldly.

"I have to rely on him to lure away the guards in the detention room. We had agreed to meet at the back door and escape together." Zheng Dian replied hurriedly.

"But after waiting for a long time, he didn't show up. He must have stayed in the camp."

"It seems that he also knows that it's very dangerous to come out." Xu Ying covered his swollen cheek and whispered, "But staying in the headquarters won't help, right? He is the most suspected in Lin Run's death. No matter who investigates the case, he will not be let off... Will he sell us out?"

"Lin Run's blood is on his hands, so he shouldn't do that." Xu Fan shook his head, but his eyes showed a hint of murderous intent as he spoke: "But who knows if he will do something stupid? Only dead people are the safest."

"Ah, we still have to kill him? How can he be a fourth-rank official?" Xu Ying shuddered with fear. Once this damn killing spree has started, can he not stop?

Xu Fan ignored him and just looked at Zheng Dian and said, "I'll have someone write a suicide note for him, saying that he took the risk of setting the fire because Lin Run found out that he was impersonating someone else. Afterwards, he felt that he had committed a serious crime, so he would die to thank the world."

"I understand." Zheng Dian nodded and said, "Once he gets the letter, he will jump into the river and commit suicide."

"Go ahead. Keep today's events to yourself. If you reveal a single word, I will kill your entire family!" Xu Fan snorted coldly.

"Yes." Zheng Dian shrank his neck, bowed and retreated.

When the sound of people coming down the stairs disappeared, Xu Fan called Xu Ba again and whispered, "Make arrangements so that he doesn't see the sun tomorrow."

"Yes." Xu Ba responded in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, then asked in a lost voice, "Didn't you ask him to kill Zheng Yuanshao?"

"If I don't say that, how can I keep him stable? I can't let anyone threaten the survival of the Xu family." Xu Fan snorted coldly and said, "Let's wait and see about Zheng Yuanshao first." After all, it takes courage to kill a fourth-rank official. Even if you have killed a third-rank official...

Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale.

"Thanks for giving birth to you." Xu Fan snorted again, turned his gaze towards the governor's office which had become a sea of ​​fire, and sighed with fear in his eyes:

"This matter is too serious. I can't handle it anymore. Let's go back and report to father..."

As he said this he closed his eyes in pain.

~~

It was just daybreak, the west wind blew and the reeds looked like frost.

The speedboat that set out from Kunshan actually sailed upstream for a hundred miles in the middle of the night and reached Kunshan before dawn.

At this time, the rowers were shouting and making the final sprint.

Niu Chenshi on the boat could already see a striking black word "醫" on the white flag on the dock ahead.

That is the Jiangnan Hospital’s dedicated dock.

He encouraged the rowers, "Keep up the effort, there's only one more mile left, and we'll all be rewarded when we get there!"

"Huha!" The rowers shouted in unison upon hearing this, and mustered up their remaining courage to paddle the oars desperately, stirring up clusters of water splashes.

The speedboat rushed to the riverside pier in the blink of an eye as fast as an arrow.

At the dock, Li Lunming, wearing a white coat, was already waiting with a stretcher.

As soon as the boat stopped, Li Lunming jumped up with the stretcher team and carefully transferred Lin Zhongcheng to the stretcher.

"Be careful, go slower!" Niu Chenshi was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters. He followed the stretcher off the boat and jogged towards the Jiangnan Hospital not far away.

The hospital had not yet opened for business, but it was ready to receive patients, and the stretcher was carried directly into the sterile treatment room.

The fully armed Wan Mi Zhai and Li Shizhen were already waiting inside, and they immediately ordered their disciples to use sterilized scissors to cut off the clothes that were stuck to Lin Run's skin.

While this was going on, the two deans checked Lin Run's pulse again, and then ordered people to carry him into the rhubarb water and soak him there.

Rhubarb has a very bitter and cold taste, and is known as the "general". It "moves but does not stay", so it can penetrate into the muscles to remove fire toxins and prevent them from being internalized.
