My disciple, you are now invincible. Go down the mountain and wreak havoc on the world!

The butler, Old Chen, scrambled out, his voice cracking as he addressed the old man's family doctor:

"Dr. Lin, please go in and take a look quickly, or it will be too late!"

One sentence shattered the silence.

Su Zhenhai's eyelids twitched suddenly, and a glint of triumphant cunning flashed across his eyes so fast that almost no one noticed.

The next second, he slapped his thigh, a look of grief on his face, but his voice was deafeningly loud: "What?! How could my dad's condition suddenly worsen?!"

He took a big step forward, blocking the doorway to the inner room, and swept his hand across the room, striking a pose as if he were in charge.

"What's all the panic about! The Su family can't be in chaos! The old man is on his deathbed. Qingyuan is young and doesn't know how to judge people. She brought in a swindler who has ruined my father. She can't bear that responsibility!"

"I am the second son of the Su family, and I have been managing most of the group's affairs over the years. Therefore, both morally and logically, I should temporarily assume the position of family head!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of documents that he had prepared beforehand and slammed them onto the coffee table with a "thud".

"These are the temporary custody agreement for the group's official seal and the power of attorney for the shares. All the elders present, please sign them as witnesses. The handover will be completed today!"

"First, stabilize the Su family situation. If something really happens to the old man, the family will descend into chaos without anyone in charge!"

This statement clearly indicates that they were prepared in advance, and even had the documents in hand.

Several distant relatives whom he had bribed beforehand stepped forward to echo his sentiments:

"Zhenhai is right! A family cannot be without a head of household for even a day!"

"Qingyuan is still too inexperienced; she can't handle such a large operation!"

"Sign it quickly! Delaying the company is a minor issue, but causing trouble is something no one can afford to bear!"

Su Zhenbang's chest heaved with rage, his hand trembling as he pointed at Su Zhenhai: "You...you?!"

"Dad's still inside being treated!"

"You even prepared the documents in advance?!"

"Looks like you've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you?!"

"Brother, you can't just say things like that." Su Zhenhai sneered, full of confidence.

"I call this being prepared! Do you expect me to be like you, an incompetent good-for-nothing who can't do anything right and has been explicitly forbidden by Dad from participating in the Su family company's business? Or will I be like you, only regretting it when the Su family collapses?"

"I can tell you're useless and you won't admit it."

"You've been bewitched by your daughter and that liar!"

Su Zhenbang was so angry that his face turned pale and then red, but he couldn't say a word.

Who told him to make a few major wrong decisions a few years ago, which led to the old man dismissing him from all company operations!

Su Qingyuan's face turned pale, her fingertips instinctively gripping Ye Xunhuan's sleeve, her eyes reddening.

"Seeking pleasure...my grandfather..."

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm here, nothing's a problem."

Ye Xunhuan lazily picked at his ear, then casually patted her head with his other hand, his tone as flippant as if he were strolling through a market.

"It's just that the neurotoxin exploded, what's the big deal?"

"Even if I drink the Meng Po soup that old woman Meng Po gives me, and Yama comes to take me away, I'll knock out his front teeth."

He glanced at Su Zhenhai and sneered, "Hey Su Lao Er, your acting is so half-hearted."

"At least squeeze out a couple of tears when you're mourning. Your eyes are so bright, it's like you've found money. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're marrying a mistress and having a wedding."

"You're talking nonsense!" Su Zhenhai's face stiffened, and he shouted angrily.

"It's all because of you, you quack doctor, your incompetent medical skills that left my father in this state! And you dare to twist the truth here! Guards, detain him! After the old man's funeral, send him straight to the authorities!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two bodyguards behind him were about to make a move, but Ye Xunhuan didn't even lift his foot. With a light flick of his toe, a heavy mahogany chair flew out with a "whoosh" and crashed onto the two men, carrying them seven or eight meters away.

The Su family members froze on the spot, their legs trembling, and they dared not move forward even half a step.

"Why are you in such a hurry to detain people?"

Ye Xunhuan slowly emerged from behind Su Qingyuan, hands in his pockets, and casually glanced at the crowd.

His gaze landed precisely on the middle-aged man carrying a medical kit, who was trying to slip into the inner room with his head down.

"Dr. Lin, don't rush off!"

"Saving people isn't urgent right now. First, tell me, what is that blue powder on your sleeve?"

Lin Guodong, whose name was called, froze and slowly raised his head.

He was the family doctor who had served the Su family for twenty years. He was usually gentle and refined, and had an excellent reputation. No one in the Su family doubted him.

He tried to remain calm and adjusted his glasses.

"What blue powder? I don't understand what you mean."

"The old man is in critical condition. I have to rush in and save him. If I delay, can you take responsibility?"

"Can they take responsibility?"

Ye Xunhuan raised an eyebrow, took a few steps and appeared in front of him. His speed was so fast that he was like a blur. Before anyone could see how he moved, Lin Guodong had already received a big slap across the face.

The medical kit she was holding had already fallen into Ye Xunhuan's hands.

Lin Guodong's expression changed drastically. He reached out to grab it, but Ye Xunhuan casually shoved him away, sending him flying seven or eight meters away. He sat on the ground for a long time without getting up.

Ye Xunhuan weighed the medical kit in his hand, casually opened the lid, and dumped the stethoscope and medicine bottles onto the table. He then dug at the bottom of the kit with his fingertip, and a small black wooden box hidden in a compartment rolled out.

"Oh my, Dr. Lin, what good stuff is hidden in here?"

"Why don't we show it to everyone?"

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan opened the wooden box, inside which lay four fine needles, as thin as cow hair, their tips gleaming with a faint, dark blue light.

Just one glance at it is enough to send chills down your spine.

"Wow, this is really a treasure."

Ye Xunhuan pinched a poisoned needle between two fingers and applied slight pressure with his fingertips.

"Click."

With a crisp sound so soft it was almost inaudible, the hard silver needle was twisted in two as if it were dough.

Dark blue toxic powder fell onto the solid wood table, instantly corroding several tiny black holes and emitting wisps of white smoke.

With a "whoosh," the broken silver needle flashed and disappeared directly into Dr. Lin's body.

The entire Su family gasped in shock.

How much strength does that take?

How potent must this poison be?!

"Lin Guodong, I bet this is what's stuck to your cuffs."

Ye Xunhuan clapped his hands, as if they were dusty, "You slipped into the inner room during the chaos and lit a poisoned incense stick, didn't you?"

"I had suppressed the chronic poison in the old man's body, but you triggered it and it exploded."

Am I right?

"You, you're spouting nonsense!" Lin Guodong collapsed to the ground, his face as white as paper, but he still stubbornly held on.

"These things aren't mine at all; you framed me!"

"I framed you?"

Ye Xunhuan was amused by his words.

He pulled a crumpled little piece of paper from his pocket and casually tossed it in the man's face. "When the old man was lucid, he secretly clutched this in his hand. It only had half of the character 'Lin' written on it."

"At the time, I was puzzled as to why they would write the character 'wood' in such a convenient way. Now I understand. It was a secret signal to avoid alerting the enemy."

He crouched down, patted Lin Guodong's face, and spoke in a soft tone as if he were chatting casually.

"The old man has spent his life on the battlefield; what kind of people hasn't he seen?"

"Every time you went for a follow-up appointment, you secretly added a little bit of poison, a dose so small that it couldn't be detected. Did he really not notice? He was just holding back, trying to find out who was behind you."

"Now that I've said all that, are you still going to be stubborn? Do you really want me to read out every single record of the bribes you've received from the Lu family over the years?"

"Pfft!" Dr. Lin suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Huh? You...you...what did you do to me?"

"Oh? The poison on your silver needles isn't bad, is it?"

"Yeah, I added some more seasoning..."
