Lin Old Man glanced at his grandson on the hospital bed, feeling a deep pang of sorrow. However, he realized there was nothing he could do to help. He noticed Yan Kongyue's expression and thought that since she had called for everyone to leave, she must have a plan. He silently prayed in his heart.
"Secretary Wu, please help me take the old man to Lin Qian. Everyone else can leave as well!"
"Understood, Secretary Lin!"
As Lin Old Man was about to leave, he hesitated for a moment. Yan Kongyue sensed his gaze and looked up at him, nodding slightly. Only then did Lin Old Man turn and walk away.
Lin Jingxuan followed him out, carefully closing the door behind them.
Yan Kongyue casually released a wave of spiritual energy, setting up a barrier around the hospital room.
The tattoo on Lin Lang's chest was no ordinary tattoo; it was a complex rune meant to extract life force. Even an Evil Cultivator would need decades of experience to achieve such a feat. Clearly, this was a premeditated act of murder using someone else's hand.
However, in the face of such schemes, Yan Kongyue felt it was merely child's play. She took out her phone and snapped several pictures of the tattoo on Lin Lang's chest.
Then, with a thought, a golden holy light appeared in her palm, dazzling and radiant. As she began to chant in a low voice, words from another world flowed from her lips, and the golden light cascaded onto Lin Lang's chest.
The dark malevolent energy surrounding Lin Lang surged silently as if struggling in pain. Within just a few breaths, the golden light gently penetrated his skin, and the bizarre and intricate tattoo gradually turned red before fading away completely along with the malevolent energy.
Meanwhile, in a villa thousands of miles away, an old man with a shifty demeanor spat out a mouthful of blood mist. Soon after, his face turned ashen like chalk, and within moments, he lost all signs of life.
A middle-aged man beside him also coughed up blood and fainted.
At this moment, Lin Lang's body began to warm up gradually; color returned to his face, but he still had not regained consciousness.
Yan Kongyue scoffed disdainfully and stepped out of the room. Lin Jingyang, Lin Jingxuan, and Lin Lie stood with their backs to the door, blocking everyone from coming within three meters.
"Yan Kongyue!" Lin Jingxuan was the first to react.
Yan Kongyue nodded at Lin Lie as a greeting. "You all come in for a moment; I have something to discuss!"
"Hmph! You woman! If you have nothing better to do than save people, then hurry up and leave!" Lin Lie shot a cold glance at the bodyguard standing beside her.
"Miss, please leave!" A burly bodyguard stepped forward like a mountain, blocking her path.
Lin Jingxuan and the others followed Yan Kongyue into the hospital room. They saw that Lin Lang's complexion had improved significantly; his breathing had also stabilized. Only then did their anxious hearts finally relax.
"It's fine now; however, he might take some time to wake up," Yan Kongyue said in a voice only they could hear.
The three nodded in understanding. They knew that Yan Kongyue did not want to alert anyone outside and chose not to speak further.
"Son! Fourth Brother! My Lang'er!" The sound of hurried high heels echoed down the corridor as someone approached quickly.
Ru Yu turned around to face him, but the woman couldn't spare a glance and simply pushed him aside, rushing to the hospital bed.
"Son, Mommy's back! Open your eyes and look at me!" Lin Ruyu had just landed and didn't find her husband, who was supposed to pick her up. Instead, she saw the family driver waiting for her. Initially, she thought her husband had something urgent to attend to, but when she heard the driver mention that her son Lin Lang was in trouble, she hurriedly rushed to the hospital.
Although she had three sons, each one was dear to her heart, and Lin Lang was the gentlest of them all. How could she not be anxious?
"Ru Yu, your son is fine! Yan Kongyue said he will wake up soon!"
"Really? Is that true?"
"Of course! When have I ever lied to you?"
"Yan Kongyue? You are Yan Kongyue?" Lin Ruyu had hurried back specifically to see Yan Kongyue, and now that she knew her son was okay, she finally remembered her daughter-in-law.
"Second Aunt!"
"Ah, yes! This girl is truly beautiful!" Lin Ruyu's expression was not great, but the girl was strikingly pretty with an elegant demeanor—she exuded a strong woman’s charm.
Suddenly, Lin Lang turned his head and coughed up a mouthful of dark red blood that smelled foul.
"Son, why are you coughing up blood?" Lin Ruyu exclaimed, still patting Yan Kongyue's hand reassuringly.
"It's fine; once he gets this blood out, he'll be completely better!"
