Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Grudges
"Why worry about that old man? Haven’t you heard the saying, ’evil people live long’? That old man is so bad, there’s no way he’ll kick the bucket so easily." Xu Ke tugged Lin Mengyao’s nose lightly and said indifferently.
"Hmm, although I don’t like that old man either, he doesn’t deserve to die. Let’s not take our revenge too far. If he dies, I’m afraid you’ll feel guilty." Lin Mengyao frowned with some conflict, but she still expressed her true feelings, as she didn’t want Xu Ke’s success to be overshadowed by a human life because she knew that kind of success wouldn’t make Xu Ke happy.
"Silly girl, I have my own plan. Don’t worry. Besides, I’m not the only one who wants revenge on him. Even if I stop, his outcome won’t be good anyway. After all, when someone does too many wicked things, even heaven won’t stand it."
Thinking about that gloomy assistant, filled with extreme repression and darkness, Xu Ke knew that even if he didn’t make a move, that assistant wouldn’t let the Jin family off easily. So he didn’t mind stopping now to put Lin Mengyao at ease. Thinking this, Xu Ke’s eyes narrowed slightly, a mysterious gleam in them, but Lin Mengyao, busy wrestling with the dough, didn’t notice his unusual demeanor.
In the hospital, Jin Zhengxiong was pushed out of the emergency room, and outside the door, Jin Zhengying with Jin Yuyan and the Jin siblings immediately surrounded the doctor.
"How’s my grandpa?" Jin Long, with red eyes, asked while leaning on a crutch.
The other members of the Jin family also looked at the doctor with burning, hopeful eyes, each with reddened eyes, hoping to hear some good news from the doctor.
The doctor removed the mask from his face and said to the family surrounding him, "The patient was brought in time, and after some resuscitation, he is out of immediate danger."
The doctor’s words instantly eased the tense expressions on the faces of the Jin siblings, each showing relief. Jin Zhengying even clasped her hands together, muttering softly, "Heavens be praised, heavens be praised."
Jin Yuyan, however, compared to the other three, was much more rational. She didn’t leave after the doctor spoke, but looked at them with a compassionate gaze, causing her heart to jolt. Her intuition told her that Jin Zhengxiong’s condition was not optimistic. "Doctor, is there anything else you need to tell us?" Jin Yuyan asked in a hoarse voice.
"Although the patient was brought in time and his life saved, he has suffered a stroke. He will have some difficulties with mobility and speech in the future and will need careful care from his family. There might be some improvement over time," the doctor said in a poignant tone, giving no time for the Jin family to react before walking away.
He had only walked a few steps when he heard a woman’s scream and a call for help behind him. The doctor, who had just come out of the operating room, re-entered, this time for Jin Zhengying.
Seeing Jin Zhengying being pushed in, Jin Yuyan could no longer maintain her composure. She grabbed her hair in despair, sitting on the hospital bench with remorse-filled eyes.
Jin Yuyan wanted to quietly get through this difficult time, but some people couldn’t bear to see others at peace when they themselves aren’t.
Jin Ling, who only had a torn ligament, had almost recovered during her stay in the hospital. Now, she was filled with terror over her grandfather’s stroke and desperately needed someone to take it out on. So, she targeted Jin Yuyan, who was sitting in the corridor.
Jin Ling, with red eyes, stood next to Jin Yuyan, and without a word, grabbed Jin Yuyan’s hair and slammed her head against the wall behind her.
"Why didn’t you get my grandpa to the hospital sooner? If you’d brought him earlier, nothing would’ve happened to him," Jin Ling fiercely smashed Jin Yuyan’s head against the wall, her eyes terrifyingly red like a demon from hell.
"Ah, are you crazy?" Jin Yuyan felt like her scalp was about to be ripped off, and her head was buzzing with stars. She managed to struggle out a sentence before resorting to loud screams.
"It’s all your fault that my grandpa ended up like this. You must have done something to make him angry; that’s why he’s in this state. I’ll kill you, kill you to vent his anger." Jin Ling shrieked,
Seeing the red blood drip from Jin Yuyan’s face onto her white shirt, staining it like a red plum blossom, Jin Long quickly intervened.
"Sis, stop hitting her. If you keep going, someone will die. This is Luo City, and there are cameras in the hospital. If you kill her, you’ll go to jail." Jin Long glanced at the cameras in the hallway and whispered in Jin Ling’s ear.
Jin Ling’s actions gradually slowed, but the viciousness in her eyes wouldn’t fade. Jin Long’s words, however, did make her stop, as this wasn’t Bai City; if something truly happened, no one would back her up.
"Pah, you’re lucky. But I’m telling you, Jin Yuyan, this isn’t over. My grandpa got hurt at your family’s place. As long as he’s not better, every time I see you, I’ll hit you till he recovers. That’s the debt your family owes us." Jin Ling said unceremoniously, glaring at the barely conscious Jin Yuyan.
After spitting out her harsh words, Jin Ling, still not satisfied, gave Jin Yuyan a vicious slap before turning her gaze to her brother. "Let’s go see grandpa."
"Aren’t we waiting for second grandpa?" Jin Long turned his gaze to the emergency room and asked his sister, who wore a hostile expression.
"Wait for what? I haven’t even held them accountable for making grandpa like this, and you want me to wait outside for him? Does he deserve that? Jin Long, you need to remember that the reason we’re in this situation is because of those bastards Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao. Our grandpa is like this because of their family, they’re all our enemies. You don’t need to be soft-hearted with enemies, understand?"
Jin Ling glared at Jin Long with a menacing gaze, making his entire body break out in cold sweat. Between him and Jin Ling, it was always Jin Ling leading. From childhood to now, he had always followed Jin Ling’s lead, and even if he vaguely felt Jin Ling was wrong, he didn’t dare contradict her, only nodding dumbly.
"Even though grandpa is down, the Jin family cannot be leaderless. The vengeance for grandpa’s condition also cannot go unaddressed." Jin Ling clenched her chubby hands and said fiercely.
"Then what should we do?" Jin Long asked blankly.
"Why are you so stupid? Of course, you contact grandpa’s assistant, have him come to help us. He’s been with grandpa for so many years, he’s the one who knows the company best. With his help, we’ll be unstoppable." Jin Ling looked at Jin Long with a gaze as if he was an idiot, speaking impatiently.
If he weren’t her own brother, she wouldn’t even bother to take a second look, he was really too stupid.
