Chapter 264: We’re Doomed Now!

The door opened…

Old man Lin squinted his eyes and coldly said, “I want the surveillance footage from this hospital, and also, find out who this Dr. Hua really is.”

“Yes, sir!”

Several bodyguards immediately left.

Lin Qing’er and Da Shuang exchanged glances. “Dad, what’s going on? Where is Dr. Hua?”

The room door was open, but inside, there was no one.

“Da Shuang, I’ll give you one million. Go find Shui Miao for me.” Old man Lin ignored Lin Qing’er and directly took out a pen and a checkbook, writing a check for Da Shuang.

Da Shuang was confused and didn’t dare to take the check, instead looking at Lin Qing’er.

Lin Qing’er grabbed the check and urgently asked her father, “Dad, what’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing, nothing at all. I just want to meet Shui Miao. Also, there’s another thing—I might not have much time left…” As Old Man Lin was speaking, the door to the lounge opened and Dr. Hua walked out. He wasn’t wearing a white coat; he was only in a white shirt and black trousers. Seeing people blocking the doorway, Dr. Hua asked, “Are you here for treatment?”

“You… don’t you know who I am?” Old Man Lin had just tried to open the room door but couldn’t. The look and tone of this Dr. Hua were clearly different from the one before, so Old Man Lin felt very confused about the sudden change.

“Who are you?” Dr. Hua blinked at Old Man Lin and waved his hand dismissively, “If you’re not here for treatment, then leave. I have a bit of a headache, maybe I caught a cold. I need to go get some medicine.”

“You can’t leave until we figure out what’s going on.”

Old Man Lin strode straight into the office and ordered his men to bring the hospital director.

Dr. Hua, seeing many tough-looking bodyguards, immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He obediently sat on a chair, thinking to himself, “Could this be a robbery? What’s there to rob in a hospital?”

※※※

“Boss, the surveillance room lost power before we arrived and is still under repair, so there’s no footage.”

“Boss, we’ve found Dr. Hua’s records.”

“Boss, the director is here…”

It didn’t take long before the bodyguards returned, bringing the hospital director with them.

Old Man Lin briefly glanced through Dr. Hua’s file before asking the director, “Director Dai, your doctor sure is impressive! Just now he scared me with some ghostly act, and now he’s pretending to be clueless. I’ll give you only ten minutes—within ten minutes, you must clarify everything. Otherwise, I’ll ruin your reputation, leaving you neither alive nor dead!”

After saying this, Old Man Lin coldly waved his hand, ordering the guards to drive the director and Dr. Hua out.

Then, Old Man Lin summoned his lawyer and several company managers who had come with him, and solemnly announced, “I have something very important to say. Listen carefully. If I die tonight, one-third of my assets will go to my son, one-third to my daughter, and the remaining third will go to charity. Now, Mr. Chen, please prepare my will.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Old Man Lin looked perfectly healthy, yet suddenly made this decision, prompting everyone to wonder what major event had occurred.

“Bang!”

Seeing everyone still dazed, Old Man Lin slammed the table in anger and roared, “Mr. Chen, didn’t you hear what I said?”

“I heard, I heard…”

Startled, the lawyer hurriedly began drafting the will.

Lin Qing’er couldn’t wait any longer. She grabbed Old Man Lin’s hand and asked, “Dad, what’s really happening? If this hospital isn’t good enough, we can go overseas!”

“Child, Dad isn’t sick. I’m just preparing for the worst.” Old Man Lin looked at his daughter, sighed deeply, and gently patted her hair, saying, “Child, these years I’ve made you suffer. Dad was too selfish and unreasonable, holding you back. Dad apologizes to you.”

Old Man Lin had always been strict and domineering. To suddenly say such words was truly unbelievable.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing’er couldn’t help but burst into tears. Deep down, she had hated her father, but in this moment, she couldn’t hate him anymore.

Leaning closer, Old Man Lin whispered into Lin Qing’er’s ear, “Actually, the man you loved before—I had him killed because he wasn’t worthy of being my Lin family’s son-in-law. Now Dad repents—I’m sorry for what I did to you!”

“…”

Hearing this, Lin Qing’er was instantly stunned.

The man she had deeply loved had been killed by her own father! And the reason was simply because he was “not worthy!”

Old Man Lin took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qing’er, saying, “This is a letter he wrote to his mother. Read it, and you’ll know the truth.”

Lin Qing’er quickly opened the envelope and began reading the letter…

“How could this be?”

“Again, it’s all about hatred and money!”

After finishing the letter, Lin Qing’er was overcome with emotion. She tore the letter into pieces and turned to shout at Old Man Lin, “I don’t want your money, not a single penny! Your money is a disgrace to me! Don’t think giving me your property will make me forgive you. I don’t care about it, not before, not now, and certainly not in the future!”

After saying this, Lin Qing’er turned and ran away.

Seeing this, Da Shuang quickly chased after her.

Old Man Lin clenched his teeth and shook his head. After a long while, he sighed and said, “Forget it, Mr. Chen. Donate two-thirds of all my assets to charity.”

“Alright, alright.”

Mr. Chen hurriedly tore the half-written will and started rewriting.

※※※

Outside the hospital, three black Hummers parked by the roadside, with no one getting out.

Under the shade of a tree, Shui Miao suddenly opened his eyes and whispered, “Not good! There really are assassins following. I mustn’t let Lin Qing’er get hurt. Water, Wild Grass, help me confuse them!”

With his spiritual sense, Shui Miao detected that inside the three black Hummers sat more than a dozen assassins, all armed with guns. They were discussing how to deal with Old Man Lin. At this very moment, Lin Qing’er was running out of the hospital.

“This is tricky, Big Brother. They all have terrifying tattoos, and I can’t handle them,” Wild Grass, the vengeful infant spirit, had just entered one of the Hummers when he noticed the special tattoos on their bodies. These tattoos carried some mysterious power, scaring the spirit so much that he dared not get close.

“Reporting to Master Yangcha, they bear the tattoos of the Grim Reaper. They are all followers of Death. I tried to help but couldn’t,” the female ghost officer, Water, was also forced to retreat.

“The Grim Reaper!”

Shui Miao was greatly shocked. Just hearing the name sounded extremely formidable!

No need to ask—anyone feared by even the female ghost officer was beyond his ability to handle.

In desperation, Shui Miao could only step forward himself.

Just as Lin Qing’er ran out of the hospital gate, a black Hummer sped toward her and crashed straight into her!

“Ahh!”

Lin Qing’er was stunned and froze in place.

At this critical moment, Shui Miao rushed forward and tackled Lin Qing’er to the ground.

The black Hummer couldn’t brake in time and crashed headfirst into a store in front of the hospital.

Seeing this, the other two Hummers also accelerated and drove toward Shui Miao.

“Run quickly!”

Realizing the danger, Shui Miao hurriedly removed Lin Qing’er’s high heels and pulled her back toward the hospital entrance. Da Shuang, seeing this, also quickly turned to flee.

There was a large forest inside the hospital grounds that could block the Hummers.

“Shui Miao, why are you here? And who are they?”

Lin Qing’er, being pulled by Shui Miao, felt a complex mix of emotions.

“They’re assassins. I’ll explain everything later.”

Shui Miao pulled Lin Qing’er and ran desperately, but the forest was still some distance away. At this speed, they would be caught by the Hummers before reaching it. In desperation, Shui Miao suddenly had an idea and shouted, “If we can’t possess their bodies, at least we can create terrifying illusions to scare them!”

Shui Miao’s words were clearly meant as a hint to Wild Grass and Water.

Upon hearing this, Wild Grass immediately realized what to do. Saying to himself, “Why didn’t I think of that before?” he quickly flashed forward and positioned himself in front of one of the Hummers, transforming his appearance. Suddenly, the assassin saw blood splattered all over the car window, blocking his view completely. Startled, he hurriedly slammed on the brakes.

But Water, the female ghost officer, still stood in place without moving. She couldn’t dare to provoke the Grim Reaper; she simply couldn’t afford to offend such a force.

Another Hummer charged toward Shui Miao and Lin Qing’er, accelerating faster and faster!

“Ahh!”

Suddenly, Lin Qing’er screamed as she tripped and fell. Her bare foot had been pierced by a tree branch.

“We’re done for!”

Shui Miao quickly turned to look at the approaching Hummer. It was only ten meters away—closing in fast! At such a short distance and with such high speed, there wasn’t even enough time to summon his spiritual powers.

Wild Grass was on another vehicle. Even if he rushed over immediately, it would already be too late.

At this moment, even if Water, the female ghost officer, decided to help Shui Miao, she wouldn’t arrive in time.
