"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Su, we never anticipated such a turn of events," said one of the attending doctors.

Su Wentian waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you've done your best."

At this moment, another doctor walked over, reaching out to pat Su Wentian on the shoulder to comfort him.

But just as he extended his hand, Long Feixue suddenly grabbed his wrist.

With her other hand, Long Feixue pinched the doctor's chin, pried open his mouth, and covered the hand the doctor had originally stretched towards Mr. Su with his own mouth.

To everyone's astonishment, a black insect crawled out of the doctor's hand and directly burrowed into the doctor's mouth.

"Cough, cough!"

The doctor coughed violently, trying to dig the insect out of his mouth with his fingers.

Everyone was stunned by the scene, while Long Feixue marveled inwardly at Lin Chen's sharp observational skills.

In fact, as soon as Lin Chen entered the room, he noticed something abnormal in Feng Yun's body, and he recognized right away that one of the three doctors was wearing a human skin mask. However, due to the tense situation, he had to delegate the task to Long Feixue to keep an eye on that doctor.

Surely, after leaving the operating room, that doctor had attempted to make a move on Su Wentian but was caught red-handed by Long Feixue.

At this time, the door of the operating room also opened, and Lin Chen came out.

"How is it?" Su Wentian asked anxiously as he approached.

Lin Chen smiled, "We were just in time, auntie is fine now."

"Thank you," Su Wentian said gratefully, holding Lin Chen's hand.

Su Wentian had watched everything unfold before his eyes, and he knew that the other party had probably intended to use Feng Yun to lure him in and then kill him.

At this moment, the assassin's face was pale, held up by two members of the Dragon Group.

"Let me go, I beg you, save me, that's a heart-devouring worm, it will eat my heart," said the assassin with a pale face.

Lin Chen let out a cold laugh, "You put such a disgusting insect into someone else's mouth, did you ever consider their feelings? Since you like this kind of insect so much, let it eat you."

"No, please, I beg you, as long as you save me, I will tell you everything," the assassin said in terror.

He, of course, knew how dangerous this type of insect was. A heart-devouring worm would enter the body and burrow into the heart to feed on it.

He often used these worms to kill people, and every time, the victims' deaths were horrific. Now it was his turn to be the victim, how could he not be scared!

"Fine, you still have time, I'll see if what you say can satisfy me before I decide whether to save you or not," Lin Chen said coldly.

The assassin nodded and confessed everything he knew, just like spilling beans.

It turned out he was an assassin hired by the Zhou family to kill Su Wentian, and his entire trip, including infiltrating the hospital, was arranged by the Zhou family.

"Was it just you this time?" Lin Chen asked.

The assassin nodded, "Yes, it was just me. However, I heard that the guys from Evil Spirit Island have also accepted the mission."

Again, the Zhou family, Lin Chen's expression darkened.

"Mr. Su, do you have a grudge against the Zhou family? Why do they always want you dead?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Old Su shook his head, "We don't really have any grudge against the Zhou family, and even if we did, it's a matter from decades ago. Besides, that issue has long become water under the bridge. The Zhou family can't possibly be making such a big fuss over it now."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "They've always targeted you, which means that the Zhou family is sure to benefit from your death. Right now, your greatest wealth is those overseas assets. If I'm not mistaken, the Zhou family must have their eyes on those assets."

"What?" Su Wentian was taken aback.

"Of course, legally speaking, if you die, your properties would be inherited by your two daughters, Su Xiaobei and Su Rui. But if your whole family were killed, then those assets would become ownerless. The government of M country could dispose of them at will.

However, it would be difficult for them to reach into China, so they promised the assets to the Zhou family, agreeing that as long as they kill your entire family, those assets would belong to the Zhou family. Such a temptation, I believe Zhou Batian wouldn't be able to resist," Lin Chen analyzed.

"Damn it, these bastards are after the lives of our entire family. Zhou family, I, Su Wentian, will never stand on the same side as you." Su Wentian's face also became ugly.

Thank goodness he had the foresight to ask Elder Long to have Lin Chen protect Su Xiaobei; otherwise, the Zhou family's claws might have reached for Su Xiaobei long ago.

"Alright, now that we've found the root of the problem, it's easier to handle. This assassin does not belong to Evil Spirit Island. Right now, those guys must think you're already dead; we can plot around this fact," Lin Chen said with a corner of his mouth curving into a sly smile.

...

It was after one in the morning when Wu Feng finally made it down from the elevated highway.

"Lin Chen, I really underestimated him; I didn't expect him to have such abilities," Wu Feng said coldly.

"What kind of trick is this anyway? Why can't we just get off the elevated highway?" the driver complained.

Wu Feng snorted, "What Lin Chen used must be a formation from Qimen Dunjia."

"Qimen Dunjia? Isn't that just some fortune-telling trick to fool people on the streets?" The driver was taken aback.

Wu Feng shook his head, "Qimen Dunjia is not about fooling people. Back in the Three Kingdoms Period, Zhuge Liang was known for his incredible abilities because he mastered Qimen Dunjia, a field of metaphysics. I didn't expect that Lin Chen would possess such skills. It seems we have truly met our match this time."

"Hmph, no matter what formation he uses, now that he has received our Death Sentence, he has to die," a tall, skinny man with an ugly face said coldly.

"Right, have we received confirmation of Su Wentian's death?" Wu Feng asked coldly.

"Not yet. The person in charge of surveillance just reported that their convoy went to the hospital; they are probably there to treat Su Wentian," an assassin from Evil Spirit Island said.

"No hospital, not even a god, can help against my poison. Rest assured, Lord Wu Feng, Su Wentian is as good as dead," a granny with a baby face, yet a somewhat hoarse voice, said coldly beside Wu Feng.

"Let's get confirmation of Su Wentian's death so we can go claim our money from the Zhou family," Wu Feng said coldly.

"Yes!" The assassin nodded and relayed the orders.

Soon, feedback came. Su Wentian was not dead, but rather under intensive care in the ICU.

"Impossible, impossible!" The scorpion-faced man's expression changed slightly. They must be bluffing; there's no way he could survive my poison.

Wu Feng pondered for a moment, "Real or fake, we must verify once more. Now that we know he's at the Capital City Hospital, it's even better; that place is crowded and complicated, making it easier for us to make a move."

"Tsk tsk, the hospital, where I have many resources. Boss, let me handle this mission!" The tall skinny man said with a cold laugh.

"Mm, we can't be careless. You and Scorpion go together; this time, make sure Su Wentian dies," Wu Feng's eyes flashed coldly.
