"Sister!"

Xiaocang's tears were already uncontrollably streaming down her cheeks.

She could clearly feel that her sister's condition was improving.

In such a short time, to achieve such an effect, Xiaocang, who studied medicine herself, was shocked to her core, unable to comprehend what miracle-like thing Brother Lin had just performed.

"What did you just do to me?" Xiaocang's sister asked angrily, her tone full of fury, yet she was also somewhat surprised inside. Why did she feel so much better, her body no longer tormented continuously by flames like before?

Lin Hai, hearing the commotion, opened his eyes and calmly replied: "You are very weak, suffering from prolonged malnutrition and emotional exhaustion. Under the stress of multiple pressures, your organs have started to fail, and your mental state is also very poor."

"If the current state persists, within a month, you will die."

"I just used a special family healing method to treat you."

After hearing Lin Hai's explanation, Xiaocang's sister fell silent.

She scrutinized Lin Hai in detail. The man was slightly disheveled, his beard unkempt and his hair a mess. Even his clothes were a bit disordered. A distinct male sweat scent emanated from him.

But those eyes, in the dark hospital room, shone like the North Star.

More importantly, his gaze was pure, devoid of any covetous intentions, resembling a big brother next door, one who felt no self-satisfaction or ostentation about saving someone, as if it were just a trivial matter for him, an effortless gesture.

"I know you've just gone through emotional pain, and indeed many men lack responsibility nowadays. Please do not confuse me with anyone else."

"Once the hidden dangers are dealt with, you and your sister can live peacefully. I won't disturb you."

Lin Hai said these things to soothe Xiaocang's sister's emotions, allowing her to feel even more at ease and comforted, so that she could recover better.

"Why should I believe what you say!"

"You don't have to believe me. It doesn't matter. Anyway, my job is to treat and save people."

Xiaocang's sister was speechless. This man seemed gentle and cultured, but his final words conveyed a stubbornness, as if he wouldn't change a decision once made, disregarding how others viewed him, and even his silhouette standing in the darkness vaguely possessed a concealed and unrelenting dominance.

"I won't thank you, and I won't do anything for you."

Lin Hai ignored her, took out his cell phone, thought of something, and dialed a number.

"Hello? Tianlin?"

"Brother Lin, you're calling so late, what's the emergency?" Yu Tianlin's tone was respectful. By now, Huadu was essentially under his complete control, all thanks to Brother Lin.

"I want to ask you, do you know Chen Yingming?"

When the name Chen Yingming was mentioned, Xiaocang and her sister visibly shuddered.

Yu Tianlin's voice came through the phone: "Brother Lin, I know of him, but we are not close or even hostile to each other."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because his Chen Family has a grudge, a blood feud, with our Su Family."

Since the call was on speaker, Xiaocang and her sister also heard the conversation.

Xiaocang's sister couldn't help but feel doubtful, her original thoughts wavering. Could it be that the man before her really harbored no ill intentions?

She believed there were no such things as free lunches in this world.

"Brother Lin, what you don't know is that in Huadu, apart from the Su Family, there is also the Chen Family, once known as one of the two great overlord families."

Xiaocang and her sister were shocked again.

The Su Family? Its influence in Huadu was too profound, almost everyone knew the Su Group. In people's hearts, it was a giant of Huadu, only becoming low-profile in recent years.

"What about the Chen Family now? They seem to have faded into obscurity, I've heard they haven't achieved anything significant." Lin Hai felt there must be some untold story.

Yu Tianlin answered: "The Chen Family once seemed to be overpowering the Su Family, at one point nearly the strongest clan in Huadu, paramount in both the legal and the underworld, and immensely powerful."

"However fiercely opposed, the Chen Family always sought to swallow the Su Family to become the true number one in Huadu."

"What happened then?"

"Later, as the Chen Family's influence grew, they virtually became the true underground rulers of Huadu, and likewise caught the attention of higher authorities."

"It seems someone from the authorities contacted the Chen Family head, but it appears the talks fell through."

Lin Hai was surprised as well.

To dare to break talks with the authorities, that's some serious guts, almost rivaling my own courage.

"In the end, the authority's representatives met with the Chen Family multiple times, only asking them to tone down their actions, as the underworld must maintain a balance. Uncle Zhentian chose to stay low-profile at that time, and comparing their attitudes, the authorities were very displeased with the Chen Family and prepared to return to Yanjing."

"That sounds like not enough reason for a direct crackdown, right?"

Yu Tianlin sighed: "At that time, on the way back to Yanjing, an official was ambushed and assassinated tragically on a train."

"When the chiefs received the news, they were enraged since the deceased seemed to be Mayor Tao's brother..."

"What the hell?" Lin Hai's eyes widened. Xiaxia had an older brother? He was unaware.

"Are you certain it was Tao Xia's brother?"

"That was the rumor back then. And Old Mr. Tao from Mayor Tao's family was once the head commander of the Military District, under whom was the Dragon Tooth Special Forces, rumored to be the strongest in all of Huaxia."

Lin Hai nodded, it seemed these events had to do with his time with the Dragon Tooth Unit.

"In the end, the murderer was found, confirmed to be a death row inmate from the Chen Family. Death row inmates are very hard to trace, yet it is said Old Mr. Tao was beyond furious and personally went to Zhongnanhe. Inside the Inner Palace, he went without food for three days and nights, calling upon a forbidden figure."

Lin Hai's curiosity was piqued. He knew very well how volatile Old Tao's temper was.

A forbidden figure from the Inner Palace? Could it be the legendary Heavenly Dragon Grand Lama?

"That forbidden character is also remarkable, taking only one day to investigate and find evidence."

"As soon as Old Mr. Tao learned it was someone from the Chen Family, he went to confront them personally. But the Chen Family was too arrogant, showing no respect to Old Mr. Tao."

"What the heck, daring not to give Old Mr. Tao respect is tantamount to being sick of living," Lin Hai interjected.

"Yes, after Old Mr. Tao returned, he asked the forbidden figure from the Inner Palace to take action again."

"In just one day, nearly the entire Chen Family was wiped out. Still, some were left alive. Old Mr. Tao had declared that he wanted the Chen Family's bloodline to continue, to allow them to develop and once they grew stronger, to annihilate them!"

Lin Hai gasped in shock.

That's just too insane!

"Later, the Chen Family thought this was a trap set by the Su Family, leading to many conflicts over the years and gradually establishing a blood feud."
