Zheng Bowen arrived at the hospital to find the VIP ward already crowded.
Tang Qingshan had brought many Tang family disciples, including Tang Wan and Tang Pinliang.
There was also an elder who bore a striking resemblance to Tang Qingshan, Tang Qinghe, the second master of the Tang family.
As Yang Ming's maternal grandfather, Tang Qinghe, who rarely ventured out, felt compelled to make an exception and attend upon hearing the news.
"Father, you must get justice for my son! That Lin fellow is too arrogant. He was fine one moment, and now he's a vegetable. How are my son and I supposed to live?"
Yang Ming's mother, Tang Haimei, wept uncontrollably.
Beside her stood Yang Ming's father, Yang Ding Tian, a man dressed in a suit.
Yang Ding Tian himself was not particularly strong, but he was a childhood friend of Zheng Bowen's father, Zheng Dacheng. With Zheng Dacheng's help, Yang Ding Tian had become a successful business tycoon.
"Uncle Yang, I'm late. How is Ming'er?"
Zheng Bowen entered, a look of concern on his face as he inquired.
Upon seeing Zheng Bowen, Yang Ding Tian spoke, "Ming'er's condition is not good. His central nervous system is necrotic. Current medicine cannot treat it; he can only be maintained in a vegetative state."
"How could this happen? Who did this?"
Zheng Bowen frowned, a jolt of unease going through him.
Yang Ming was an important pawn he had placed in the Ming Group, crucial for some of his Zheng family's future plans. If Yang Ming were to have problems, his entire plan would be ruined.
Unaware of Zheng Bowen's concern for the Zheng family's grand scheme, Yang Ding Tian was heartened by Zheng Bowen's apparent concern for Yang Ming.
He did not conceal anything from Zheng Bowen and truthfully stated, "According to the Ming Group's response, Ming'er becoming a vegetable is related to someone named Lin Feng. The Ming Group is already investigating."
"Lin Feng again!?"
Zheng Bowen clenched his fists in hatred, a deep-seated animosity towards the name Lin Feng already burning within him.
"What? You know him?"
Yang Ding Tian anxiously grabbed Zheng Bowen's hand. Tang Qinghe and Tang Haimei also turned their expectant gazes towards Zheng Bowen.
"Uncle Yang, I'm not the only one here who knows this guy. Xiao Wan and Grandpa Tang are also quite familiar with Lin Feng," Zheng Bowen said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qingshan and Tang Wan immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Big Brother, what is going on? How do you know this Lin fellow?"
Tang Qinghe was surprised at how deeply Tang Qingshan had kept this hidden. After Zheng Bowen's words, he immediately questioned Tang Qingshan with displeasure.
Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Tang Qingshan chuckled, "Second Brother, don't get so agitated. Little friend Lin Feng and I do have some acquaintance. This young man has helped me a great deal, and he is also dating my granddaughter, Xiao Wan."
"In fact, Lin Feng is practically my future grandson-in-law. Knowing his character, he shouldn't do something so vicious. There might be some misunderstanding!"
Tang Haimei couldn't stand it any longer. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said coldly, "Eldest Uncle, even if there's a misunderstanding, it wouldn't be enough to injure my son this badly!"
"Since this young brat surnamed Lin is so close to your family, Eldest Uncle, please call him over. Today, he must give our family an explanation!"
Tang Haimei was truly desperate. She usually respected Tang Qingshan, but this time, her gaze towards him was filled with hostility.
"Haimei is right, Big Brother. Since Lin Feng is your future grandson-in-law, it's best to clear things up face-to-face!"
Tang Qinghe snorted and sat down on a chair, his aura fully unleashed.
His lineage was composed of outstanding individuals, and the Tang family's current standing owed much to the contributions of his branch.
In fact, Tang Qinghe's lineage had been considered by outsiders as the true custodians of the Tang family.
In terms of overall strength, Tang Qingshan's lineage was completely inferior to Tang Qinghe's.
As a result, Tang Qinghe had never shown Tang Qingshan any respect and never took him seriously.
Tang Qingshan knew that Tang Qinghe would not indulge him, and he was in a difficult position. "Second Brother, I can call little friend Lin Feng, but I cannot guarantee that he will come."
"Furthermore, little friend Lin Feng is my future grandson-in-law. Let's discuss this like adults. If you dare to lay a hand on him, I will absolutely not allow it!"
Towards the end, Tang Qingshan also displayed the presence befitting the head of a family.
"Big Brother, let's get him here first. Today, I must get an explanation for my grandson. If this brat cannot make sense, it will be difficult for you to protect him!"
Anger flickered in Tang Qinghe's cloudy eyes. Tang Haimei and Yang Ding Tian, along with others, stood behind Tang Qinghe.
They all belonged to Tang Qinghe's lineage and naturally stood by his side at this moment.
In contrast, Tang Qingshan only had Tang Wan and Tang Pinliang by his side.
"Xiao Wan, go and call little friend Lin Feng. Since your second grandfather wants an explanation, let Lin Feng come and clarify things."
Tang Qingshan knew that Lin Feng was not unreasonable and was certain there was a hidden reason. He was not afraid of confronting Tang Qinghe and his faction.
Tang Wan understood Tang Qingshan's intention and made a call to Lin Feng in front of everyone.
Upon learning that Tang Qinghe wanted to reason with him, Lin Feng was initially dismissive. However, thinking that Tang Wan was involved, he agreed.
"Xiao Wan, what did little friend Lin Feng say?"
Tang Qingshan asked, genuinely worried that Lin Feng would not give him face, which would be embarrassing.
"Grandfather, Lin Feng has agreed to come," Tang Wan replied with a smile.
"Xiao Wan, you really have influence. This Lin Feng never listens to anyone else, but he only obeys you. It seems you two get along well!" Zheng Bowen said sarcastically.
"Mr. Zheng, Lin Feng helped me secure the opportunity to cooperate with the Phil Group. Of course, I would get along well with him. Is there a problem with that?" Tang Wan retorted with a half-smile.
Her words immediately left Zheng Bowen speechless.
Tang Qinghe and the others looked astonished.
"Xiao Wan, you say this Lin fellow helped you secure the cooperation opportunity with the Phil Group? How come I didn't know about this?" Tang Qinghe asked, confused. He had been away from Qingcheng for a while and was unaware of many matters.
He hadn't expected such a significant event to occur within the Tang family during his absence!
Facing Tang Qinghe's questioning, Tang Wan calmly responded, "Second Grandfather, there are many things you don't know, and it's difficult for me to explain them to you in a few words. It's not too late to discuss this after the cooperation with the Phil Group is finalized."
"Alright, your wings have grown strong, and this old bone of mine can no longer control you. Then Second Grandfather can only wish you all the best!"
Tang Qinghe chuckled, well aware that Tang Wan was deliberately withholding information from him.
At the same time, Tang Qinghe's curiosity about Lin Feng grew even stronger.
To be able to help Tang Wan secure a cooperation opportunity with the Phil Group, what exactly was the background of this young man?
