Back at the hospital, Zhang Hui saw Zhang Shouji coming out of the ward from afar, followed by the three old foxes.

After they walked away, Zhang Hui followed the two men from Yanbian into the ward. At this point, only Lawyer Yang was left in the ward.

It seems that Li Zicheng must have received the news and went to the hospital where his wife was, just in time to avoid him.

After checking on Attorney Yang and confirming that there were no problems, Zhang Hui lifted up the stunt double who was under the influence of sedatives and in a drowsy state. He quickly removed the disguise and then moved the person into the small room next door.

Zhang Hui followed the same steps he had taken to disguise his double, accurately marking the locations of all the wounds on his body, applying gauze, and bandaging them.

Zhang Hui had two people from Yanbian stand guard beside him until he was lying in bed, at which point he asked Attorney Yang to recount the behavior of those people while he was away.

According to Attorney Yang, Li Zicheng seemed shocked when he arrived. All three directors were very dissatisfied with Li Zhongjiu's actions and wanted Zhang Shouji to step in and resolve the issue.

Lee Ja-sung heard the conversation but said nothing. He simply called a doctor to inquire about the patient's condition. After the doctor told him that the patient's condition was very dangerous, he merely glanced at the body double lying on the bed and said nothing.

After receiving a phone call, he left in a hurry. Zhang Shouji and the three directors stayed by the substitute's bedside, discussing for a long time how they should handle the remaining matters.

Hearing this, Zhang Hui couldn't help but sneer. These old bastards never learn their lesson. If it weren't for the plans ahead, he'd teach them a lesson right now.

After listening to Attorney Yang's report, he was told to find someone to tamper with the vital signs monitoring devices next to him, and to have a professional make a switch so that he could fake his death in a few days.

Secondly, taking advantage of the chaos within the group these past few days, we had Attorney Yang install concealed surveillance cameras in his office. All the surveillance receivers were placed in a cubicle within Attorney Yang's office.

Finally, he instructed Attorney Yang to have the people from Yanbian accompany him to prevent any unforeseen events from occurring, as the darkness before victory is when one is most vulnerable to collapse.

The next few days weren't too difficult for Zhang Hui. He would occasionally forward photos of Han Zhujing's child, who had survived after receiving treatment.

Before this, the people tracking her had been placed with Zhang Shouji. Watching Zhang Shouji's movements, one couldn't help but sigh that this man was old in years but not in spirit; he was almost sixty and still recruiting soldiers and plotting to seize power.

Finally, a few days later, a message was received from the person who was tracking Li Zicheng: Li Zicheng had met with Section Chief Jiang again at that abandoned factory.

Zhang Hui knew that this was another order from Section Chief Jiang to Li Zicheng, informing him that Li Zhongjiu would be released soon due to insufficient evidence, and even recklessly instructing Li Zicheng not to touch him.

This disastrous move completely shattered Lee Ja-sung's already crumbling belief, and now he only needs a push to completely side with Kinmen.

Zhang Hui felt that his time to shine had finally come, and in preparation, he even lavishly used 10 points to purchase basic acting skills from the [System Shop].

He was afraid he would mess up his performance if he didn't have this skill, which would be a huge loss. Once everything was ready, he had Attorney Yang call Li Zicheng and tell him that he was critically ill and wanted to see him one last time.

Not long after, Li Zicheng arrived at Zhang Hui's bedside and heard the doctor beside him say, "The situation is very bad. Be prepared!"

Zhang Hui, wearing an oxygen mask, glanced at Li Zicheng and felt that he looked like he was about to break after hearing these words.

To prevent himself from breaking his composure, he slowly raised his hand and moved his palm slightly, signaling for him to come closer.

Knowing his older brother's thoughts, Li Zicheng said, "Let's all go outside for a bit!"

After everyone, including the doctor and lawyer Yang, left, Li Zicheng slowly walked to the bedside. Zhang Hui patted the bedside again, gesturing for him to sit down.

The oxygen mask affected Zhang Hui's voice, so he tapped his face with his hand, looking weak. Li Zicheng immediately stepped in to help him.

With his eyes half-closed, Zhang Hui watched Li Zicheng's bowed head and felt a pang of emotion, but he still had to continue his performance.

"Hoo~~Phew~~, relax your expression, shibaa~" The sound of labored breathing and weak tone made it seem like he was about to collapse at any moment.

"Who's going to eat you?" Zhang Hui continued to tease in a low voice, squinting as he saw that Li Zicheng's eyes were already brimming with tears.

This made Zhang Hui even more immersed in the role; indeed, for this kind of scene, someone needs to guide you.

"I thought I'd never see you again, I'm so fucking happy." Seeing that the other person didn't look up, Zhang Hui also put on a rare show of acting skills.

"Hey~ brother, you look tired~" This exclamation pushed Lee Ja-sung to the brink of breaking down.

"Don't be like this, make a choice!" Zhang Hui said what he really wanted to say, then took a deep breath and continued, "Listen to your older brother, you idiot~"

"That way you can live, huff... hiss..." After saying this, Zhang Hui frowned as if he was in too much pain.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng quickly picked up the oxygen mask he had just taken off and was about to put it on Zhang Hui. When Zhang Hui felt this, he grabbed Li Zicheng's hand and pretended to move it away with difficulty.

Then he opened one eye, raised an eyebrow, stared at Li Zicheng, and said, "What are you doing?"

Li Zicheng could no longer accept the choice made by the person in front of him, and said in a tearful voice, "Big brother! Brother~~~"

"You little brat, what if... even a one in ten million chance..."

"What would you do if I lived?"

"Can you handle me?"

After Zhang Hui finished speaking to Li Zicheng with his eyes half-open and half-closed, he saw Li Zicheng's lips trembling and tears falling down his face.

Zhang Hui felt confident now. How could Section Chief Jiang's inhumane methods compare to his brother's soul-searching approach?

Seeing that Li Zicheng was slowly processing his inner shock, Zhang Hui pressed on, saying, "There's a gift for you in the office safe. Remember to check it later!"

Sensing Li Zicheng's gaze, Zhang Hui added fuel to the fire, saying, "You have to be ruthless. That's the only way to survive, understand?"

Then, not forgetting her original intention, she added, "The size of my portrait at the funeral must be larger than the old man's."

Then came his final words: "Go! I'm so sleepy~"

After saying that, he let out a few long breaths, then pressed the remote control with his left hand. The heart rate monitors and other instruments around his bed all detected that the patient was dead.

Even with his eyes closed, Zhang Hui, who was faking his death, could feel Li Zicheng's shock. He was truly impressed by the rudimentary acting skills loaded by the system. Without such acting skills, the final act of death might have been a disaster.

Just as he was marveling at the moment, the system's reward arrived as scheduled.

[The plot has changed due to the host's actions; 50 unallocated points will be awarded as a reward!]

Zhang Hui pretended not to hear, and only after Attorney Yang and the doctor entered the room to confirm did everyone believe that Ding Qing was dead.
