I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Mom, you went to the East China Sea to look for Qin Ge?! Is what he said true?"

"Bullshit!"

"Mr. Qin, you've got it wrong. Madam only took me with her when she went to the East China Sea last time. There were no assassins involved!"

Han Xiuyun and her daughter, along with Granny Chen, spoke almost simultaneously, all feeling that the information in Qin Ge's words was too explosive.

Qin Ge scrutinized Han Xiuyun, but couldn't discern anything amiss. "You mean I really made a mistake?"

"Those two assassins just happened to target me after we met, and then deliberately slandered you?"

He felt that this possibility was not nonexistent, but it was too much of a coincidence, almost too coincidental. However, judging from Han Xiuyun's appearance, it didn't seem like she was faking it.

If those two assassins were just shills, it would be understandable, but they were real experts, experts whose strength surpassed that of Yu Jinghong!

They were clearly determined to kill me, and they were full of confidence before they took action.

From their perspective, Qin Ge was about to become a dead man, so was there any need to lie under those circumstances?

It's a bit of a mess, and Qin Ge can't sort it out either.

While Qin Ge and his group were making a ruckus, the main hall of the Lin family was still brightly lit.

"Second brother, what do you want to do by inviting Doctor Wang over so late?"

Lin Yuan was about to lead Wang Gu to the backyard when Lin Chen stopped them.

"Big brother, you're still awake?" Lin Yuan said calmly, maintaining his usual refined and scholarly demeanor. "Dad hasn't been doing well these past few days, and I've been trying to figure out what to do."

"I just happened to learn that Dr. Wang had recently gained some new insights, so I quickly invited him over to take a look at my father!"

"Really?" Lin Chen scrutinized his younger brother Lin Yuan, then looked at Wang Gu. "Then let's go together!"

About half an hour later, after watching Wang Gu finish treating his father, Lin Yuan pretended to be anxious and asked, "Dr. Wang, how is it?"

Not long ago, Lin Yuan suddenly received a call from Wang Gu, who claimed that the poison his junior brother Weng Quan used on Lin Zhinian was one he had developed, and that the poison was not perfect and still had flaws.

Based on the timeline, Lin Zhinian will likely wake up tonight!

Lin Yuan was terrified. He was a very filial son and felt that his father needed to rest more and was not suitable to wake up at this time.

Weng Quan definitely couldn't appear at the Lin family's house again. He must have a way to deal with the poison that Wang Gu had developed himself, so he was invited over overnight.

"It went very smoothly!" Wang Gu nodded slightly. "He should wake up soon."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Wang!" Lin Yuan had already reached a tacit understanding with Wang Gu and was not flustered at all.

But I still had my doubts. This old man was quite a good actor. If I hadn't known beforehand, I would have believed him!

But how are we going to explain this back to the old man later?

"Dr. Wang, are you serious?!"

"Will he really wake up soon?"

Lin Chen, unaware of the inside story, was extremely excited.

Just as Wang Gu was about to speak, Lin Zhinian, who was lying motionless on the bed, suddenly let out a soft hum.

The sound was extremely faint, yet it was like a thunderclap that exploded in the ears of Lin Chen and his brother.

"He's really awake?!" Lin Yuan's brain went blank, his cerebellum atrophied, and his mind was in chaos.

"Dad!" Lin Chen rushed to the bedside, his hands and feet flailing wildly. "Dad, are you awake?"

Lin Yuan remained standing there, his eyes glazed over. Could he have really woken up?

He didn't mention this when he communicated with Wang Gu!

Lin Yuan cast a questioning look at Wang Gu, which made him even more flustered.

Because he clearly saw that Wang Gu was avoiding his gaze!

If he wasn't guilty, why would Wang Gu hide?

Holy crap, is this old man trying to mess with me?

"Dr. Wang, quick, quick, take a look at my dad and see what's wrong!"

Lin Yuan was stunned and a little flustered, but he remained calm on the surface.

Wang Gu did not move, but simply watched Lin Zhinian quietly.

Lin Zhinian let out another soft hum, this time making a slightly louder sound. Then his eyelids trembled, and he opened them with difficulty.

She's really awake!!

"Wang Gu! What did you do to my dad?!"

Lin Yuan was now truly panicked. What was that old bastard Wang Gu up to? How could he have actually woken him up?

If he dares to play this double-dealing game with me, does he not value his junior brother's life?

Thinking about this, Lin Yuan felt even more uneasy.

He tried to contact Lu Qi once in the afternoon but couldn't reach him. He didn't think much of it at the time, but now he feels something is wrong!

"I didn't do anything, I just detoxified him, completely cured him!"

Wang Gu stopped acting altogether, his old face beaming with a smile, looking like he deserved a beating.

He had heard before that Lin Zhinian had fallen ill, and then Lin Yuan arranged for Lin Yao to invite his junior brother Weng Quan to treat the illness, which gave Weng Quan the opportunity to poison Lin Zhinian.

However, when he was treating Lin Zhinian, he discovered that Lin Zhinian was only poisoned and not sick at all!

Wang Gu didn't know what Lin Zhinian wanted to do, but he was certain that Lin Zhinian had been faking illness before!

The Lin family is a murky place; everyone there has so many schemes. If it weren't for Qin Ge, he really wouldn't want to get involved in this mess.

Yang Xin'er was right next to Wang Gu when he called Lin Yuan. It was Qin Ge's idea to make that call!

Yang Xin'er persuaded Wang Gu to help with just one sentence, and Yang Jianjun's poison was cured!

For people like Yang Xin'er who don't understand medical principles, this might just seem impressive, but they don't really grasp the extent of its significance.

But for doctors, especially for someone like Wang Gu who has been immersed in the art of poisons for many years and has achieved a high level of expertise, it is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky!

In Wang Gu's eyes, Qin Ge was no longer a human being, but a god!

"How dare you speak to Dr. Wang like that?" Lin Chen's face turned cold. "Dad's awake, and you seem unhappy?"

"No, no, of course I'm happy!" Lin Yuan realized that he had lost his composure in his haste, but he couldn't care less about that now, his mind racing.

He wondered if his father waking up would have any negative impact on him, or more precisely, what direct threats it would pose.

The plan has definitely been affected; now we need to protect ourselves first before considering anything else.

After quickly going through it in his mind, Lin Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Weng Quan was found by Lin Yao, and on the surface, he has nothing to do with him. Even his elder brother Lin Chen can't do anything about him, so it's the same when their father wakes up!

"Dr. Wang?"

"What are you doing here?"

The figure in front of Lin Zhinian gradually became clearer, but his cloudy old eyes were full of confusion.

"Dad, are you really alright?" Lin Chen's voice trembled with excitement. "Dr. Wang's skills are truly miraculous; he's a miracle worker!"

Wang Gu blushed slightly with embarrassment. His junior brother had poisoned him, and he had then come up with the antidote himself, only to receive the praise of "miraculous healing." He felt truly unworthy of such praise.

"Dad, you're finally awake!"

"We were terrified!"

Lin Yuan was so "moved" that he squeezed out tears; it's a pity he didn't become an actor.

"That girl Lin Yao is really something. She's so young, yet she doesn't know how to be careful when she does things. She just randomly found some quack doctor to treat your illness."

"Thank goodness for the Lin family ancestors' protection; it's so good that you're alright!"

While his father was still in a daze, he quickly implanted this information into his brain.

"Hey, Lin Lao Er, still putting on an act?"

A voice suddenly came from the doorway, and then the door opened, revealing Qin Ge and Lin Yao.
