The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

Outside the VIP care ward on the top floor of the Presbyterian Hospital.

The atmosphere remained heavy.

But it was no longer pure despair—

Instead, it was a mixture of relief at surviving a catastrophe and an unbelievable shock.

Ronnie lay quietly in his hospital bed.

Various monitoring devices are connected to his body.

Although the vital signs were weak, they were stable.

Dr. Blake's medical team—

He is under the most meticulous monitoring and receiving the most thorough follow-up treatment.

Adjustments were made based on the detoxification and conditioning plan left by Ling Ye.

In the rest area outside the ward, Anna clung tightly to Ling Ye, as if he would disappear if she let go.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but now they were filled with dependence and the joy of having regained what she had lost.

Her parents, Robert and Emily, also regained their color—

She was looking at Ling Ye with a gaze that was a mixture of boundless gratitude and immense curiosity.

"Mr. Ling," Robert's voice was still a little hoarse, but full of sincerity:

"We cannot express our gratitude enough. The Luo family will never forget what you have done for us today."

"Anything needed, as long as the Luo family can provide it."

"This is my private contact information, available 24/7. Anytime, anywhere."

Ling Ye didn't refuse, took the business card and casually put it in his pocket, his tone indifferent:

"Old Mr. Ronnie has treated me well; this is what I should do."

He glanced at the ward:

"Although the toxins have been suppressed, the subsequent clearance and recovery from brain damage will take a long time. Dr. Blake is a top expert, and he will handle it well."

Emily wiped away her tears:

"If it weren't for you, Dr. Blake would have been powerless to help..."

"Mr. Ling, you..."

"Who exactly are you...?"

She simply couldn't reconcile the young man before her with his miraculous medical skills.

Ling Ye forced a slightly weary, yet wicked smile:

"Auntie, I'm just a college student who knows a little about folk remedies."

He clearly didn't want to discuss this topic in detail.

Just then, Lin Que walked over with a tablet computer, his expression unusually serious:

"Boss, we've found something."

She showed the screen to Ling Ye.

The screen displays a blurred screenshot from a manipulated surveillance video, showing the general situation surrounding the attack on the ambulance:

A black, unlicensed sedan was hit in the tire by a precise long-range shot, causing the vehicle to lose control and overturn.

The method of the crime was clean and efficient, clearly the work of a professional.

"The attackers were very professional and left no obvious traces. The vehicle was stolen and then abandoned and burned."

Lin Que whispered:

"Moreover, it's too much of a coincidence; it happened right on the way to the hospital after the old man fell into a coma. This definitely wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Ling Ye's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp:

"A targeted assassination. The sudden loss of consciousness earlier was clearly due to poisoning; the two are probably working together."

Anna and her parents turned pale again upon hearing this.

"Who...who wants to harm Father?"

Robert's voice trembled with anger.

"It's most likely someone close to you."

Ling Ye stood up:

"The truth will remain unclear until the old man wakes up. But the other side may not give up easily after failing in their first attack."

He looked at Robert:

"Hospital security needs to be at the highest level, limited to only trusted personnel. The matter of the old man's poisoning should not be publicized to anyone outside the family, including the clan."

Robert immediately understood Ling Ye's implication—

The enemy may be hiding right next to you.

He nodded solemnly:

"I understand! I will immediately arrange an absolutely reliable security team to guard the wards 24 hours a day, and all visitors and medical personnel will be subject to strict screening!"

Ling Ye nodded and whispered to Anna:

"You stay here and keep the old man company, but you also need to rest. Xiao Que and I are going to take care of some things."

Anna immediately grabbed his arm, her eyes filled with worry:

"What are you going to do? Is it dangerous?"

Ling Ye patted the back of her hand, giving her a reassuring smile:

"I'm just going to look up some information, it's not dangerous. Don't worry, Little Sparrow is here."

He deliberately used the old title.

Lin Que immediately straightened his chest:

"That's right! Don't worry, Sister Anna, I'll protect Boss! ...Although he's usually the one protecting me."

She muttered something under her breath at the end.

Anna breathed a slight sigh of relief after being amused by them, but still gave them a few words of advice with lingering concern:

"Then you must be careful."

After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, Ling Ye's fatigue and feigned smile finally disappeared.

He rubbed his temples; the continuous, high-intensity acupuncture and precision surgery had taken a heavy toll on him.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Lin Que looked at his pale face with concern.

"It's nothing, just overexertion."

Ling Ye closed his eyes to rest:

"Little Sparrow, focus on investigating two things:"

"First, the list of all the participants in the dinner party that Mr. Ronnie attended, especially those who had contact with him and might have been poisoned."

"Second, check the recent news in the underworld for any information about hiring precision snipers at high prices or using biological toxins."

"It's already under investigation!"

Lin Que's fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard:

"The dinner was hosted by the Calvart family, and the participants were all wealthy and influential. The list is a bit complicated and will require some time to cross-reference."

"I'm also investigating the dark web bounties in the underworld, but there's no direct match information yet. The other party is very cautious."

Ling Ye opened his eyes, gazing at the city scenery rushing past the car window, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"A basal toxin that can induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and coma, a precise long-range sniper..."

"This is not something an ordinary force could do."

"Little Sparrow, do you think it looks like the work of 'Scorpion'?"

Lin Que paused, her hand on the computer pausing slightly, her expression changing slightly:

"'Scorpion'? That mad scientist who specializes in developing insidious chemical poisons and biological weapons?"

"Wasn't he supposed to be wanted by Interpol and hiding for a long time?"

"If he makes a move, then we'll be in big trouble..."

"Moreover, the price is shockingly high, and those who hire him must have huge motives."

Ling Ye's lips curled into a cold smile:

"Too many people are eyeing the Luo family, this piece of fat meat."

"Who will be the biggest beneficiary if the old man suddenly collapses?"

"Is it an internal family power struggle? Or an external business rival?"

"Or... are they colluding?"

He paused, his voice lowering:

"Furthermore, was it a coincidence that they chose to make their move a few months after the start of the semester at Harvard, when Anna and I were both at the university, or... did they also know about our existence?"

Lin Que gasped, "Boss, you mean...?"

"Just a guess."

Ling Ye closed his eyes again:

"Speed ​​up the investigation. We need to find these lurking bugs before the old man wakes up. Harvard... looks like he won't be able to concentrate on his studies."
