Chapter 18 Eyes in the Dark
On the way to the hospital, two cars were traveling one after the other.
Ye Feng was resting with his eyes closed in the Maybach, but his fingers kept tapping his knees.
"What are you thinking about!" Lin Yuqing finally couldn't hold back any longer. "You've had a worried look on your face ever since you left the Zhu family."
"Thinking of your uncle!"
Ye Feng opened his eyes. "And that Zhao Hui."
Lin Yuqing frowned. "What's there for them to think about?"
"Think about it!" Ye Feng counted on his fingers. "Your uncle comes from a branch of the Zhao family. That Zhao Hui that night was also a member of the Zhao family. He happened to be having dinner at your family's gathering. Plus, Qin Yu's phone call to the Li family just now. Lin, Qin, Li, and Zhao are the four major families. Apart from your Lin family, how did the other three families suddenly appear in the last two or three days?"
Lin Yuqing's expression grew increasingly terrifying.
She certainly noticed something was off, but she was so preoccupied with other things that she hadn't been able to put these fragmented matters together. But Ye Feng's words made a hazy network gradually clearer in front of her, causing Lin Yuqing's heart to tremble!
"You mean..." Her voice lowered, "that the board's proposal, the Qin family's marriage proposal, and the drugging and pursuit that night—were all orchestrated by the same group of people?"
"Did I say he was dead?" Ye Feng leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping idly on his knee. "But let me ask you something. The Li family is using underhanded tactics, drugging and killing people, relentlessly pushing you towards them. The Zhao family, on the other hand, is using your uncle as an inside man to cause trouble at the board meeting, eyeing your mother's stock. And the Qin family is putting on a good show, a 'marriage to save the day.' The three parties—one attacking, one stirring up trouble, and one taking back—are working together so seamlessly. Do you think someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes? I don't believe it!"
"But these three parties usually keep to themselves. What could possibly unite them all so suddenly?" Lin Yuqing frowned. "Who is it?"
"That's the key point!" Ye Feng squinted. "There's only one reason why the three families could temporarily abandon their internal conflicts and unite to deal with one person or one issue: it's either an immense, untold benefit or someone even more powerful than them behind the scenes, someone who can suppress them!"
Lin Yuqing remained silent.
If it's the former, that's fine. But if it's the latter, the Lin family is facing a vast and inescapable trap that has already been laid, waiting for them to fall right into it!
"Don't scare yourself!" Ye Feng glanced at her, offering a rare word of comfort. "It's all just guesswork right now, there are too few clues. Let's take it slow. Right now, let's focus on getting Old Man Zhu treated, one thing at a time!"
"...Uh." Lin Yuqing let out a deep breath, suppressing her slight panic.
Looking at the seemingly carefree man beside her who could untangle her mess with just a few words, Lin Yuqing secretly felt a little more secure.
The Maybach smoothly turned the corner.
Just then, a man wearing a baseball cap, holding a mobile phone, pointed at their Maybach from an inconspicuous gray minivan across the street.
"Boss, we found it! We found it!"
He cautiously reported over the phone, "Well, that country bumpkin who beat all the Li brothers to the ground and even humiliated Young Master Qin seems to be particularly interested in the Zhu family these past few days. Judging by his behavior, he must really have some skills; he even managed to revive Old Man Zhu!"
The gloomy voice on the phone said, "Second brother, Young Master Qin means we shouldn't alert him. This kid's background is unknown. He not only killed a large number of people with his bare hands, but he also knows medicine. He's definitely not an ordinary bodyguard. We need to find out his background before we make a move. Last time, so many people in our Li family were tricked by him. We absolutely cannot let our guard down this time. Keep an eye on him and report back to me who you see and what's going on."
"Got it." The man in the baseball cap chuckled coldly, glancing at the convoy in the distance. "Just some country bumpkin, he can't cause any trouble. I'll keep an eye on him!"
He turned off his phone, started his car, and followed the Maybach at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Inside the Maybach.
Ye Feng didn't know why he inexplicably turned his head to look outside.
The streets were bustling with traffic as usual, nothing unusual was happening, but the senses he had developed over many years of living in the mountains were subtly warning him!
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuqing asked.
"It's nothing." Ye Feng looked away and rubbed his cold neck. "It's just that I feel like someone's been watching us from behind."
Ye Feng didn't pay too much attention. Since coming down from the mountain, too many people had been watching him: the Li family, the Qin family, and the jealous Boss Lin beside him who kept glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.
What he hasn't realized yet is that the eyes these people have hidden behind him will soon be twisted into a rope in front of him that can strangle him.
However, the chilling feeling of being spied on left a lingering unease deep within him. While waiting for the traffic light, he secretly glanced at them through the rearview mirror.
The third car behind the Maybach was a drab gray minivan, following at a distance that wasn't too close.
As soon as the green light came on, the Maybach started moving and drove forward. The Maybach turned, and the Maybach slowly made its way through two cars behind it.
It was very methodical and well-trained.
Ye Feng already had a plan in mind, his face expressionless, and he closed his eyes again.
He's just a clown jumping around. Touch him? Let them touch him. If these rats hiding in the shadows ever dare to jump onto the stage, he'll be interested in pulling them out by the tail and wiping them out in one fell swoop.
only……
He pinched his chest.
The pain that emanated from my meridians came back again when I was in the car.
This time the pain was more intense and severe than it had been in the early morning; the signs of impending death were gradually rising.
He really doesn't have much time left!
We need to hurry! On one hand, we need to find out what this net targeting the Lin family is, and on the other hand... we also need to find out as soon as possible whether Zhu Wanqing is the key.
Both of these matters are extremely urgent!
"You're such a paranoid person!" Lin Yuqing scolded, but then glanced out the window again. "It'll be soon. Let's get Old Man Zhu cured first. One thing at a time, don't think about anything else!"
"Alright." Ye Feng leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. "I'm here to treat your illness, and I'm never lenient with that. I'll take care of what needs to be taken seriously and be vigilant where necessary. It's not that complicated."
As the car entered the hospital gate, Zhu Wanqing's car also came in and parked on the side.
The two women got out of the car one after the other, their eyes met briefly, and then they looked away in mid-air.
One was very cold, the other was very hot, and neither of them wanted to speak. The slight animosity in the air was even more of a headache for Ye Feng than it had been in the car when they started driving.
He was caught between the two of them, and knowing that neither of them wanted to talk to him, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
I lifted my leg and took the lead, heading towards the entrance of the inpatient department.
At times like this, refusing to say a single word is a matter of life and death!
