The More You Know, the More Trouble You Get

Hearing this, Lin Mo's gaze unconsciously drifted to Jiang Chengshan, sweeping over him twice.

So you old boy used to be quite the bad boy yourself.

No wonder Aunt Qiong stayed here; it was to protect Jiang Yunlu.

Jiang Chengshan's old face flushed under his stare, as if an old embarrassing secret had been exposed. He quickly let out a dry cough, forcing himself to save face.

What are you thinking! Sister Qiong stayed behind to protect us.

He paused, his voice dropping, carrying a hint of bitterness as if reluctant to look back.

More accurately, it was Nannan's mother who had Sister Qiong removed from the Situ family, so she could stay and protect us father and daughter.

This protection lasted for over a decade, right up until Jiang Yunlu grew up.

But the problem circled back.

Lin Mo was well aware of Aunt Qiong's strength.

Why would Aunt Qiong get injured?

Aunt Qiong's strength was not weak; she was much stronger than Liu Zheng, Old Bai, and even Xia Zhi.

Lin Mo could even conclude that if Ning Qingcheng were to have a true one-on-one duel with Aunt Qiong right now, they might trade blows in the early stages, but the one lying on the ground at the end would definitely be Ning Qingcheng.

Of course, that was only the current Ning Qingcheng.

However, Aunt Qiong had now been beaten to a pulp, and it was even possible she only escaped with her life by fighting to the death.

That meant the opponent's strength should be quite formidable as well.

So Lin Mo looked up at Jiang Chengshan, So what you mean is, the Situ family doesn't want to let you off, so they've come out to cause trouble for you, right?

Yes.

Jiang Chengshan nodded, his jawline pulled taut. He took a deep breath, an exhale that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

I've already had the company transfer a top-tier security team over for twenty-four-hour shifts, but I...

In front of those true behemoths, the security money could buy was nothing but paper lanterns.

He didn't finish his sentence, but the fear and pleading in his eyes explained everything.

I only hope that you can protect Yunlu well.

At this moment, he was not the wealthy President Jiang, but simply a father being pushed to the brink of despair.

In Jiang Chengshan's heart, Jiang Yunlu was already the most important thing in his life.

Looking at him like this, Lin Mo suddenly found it a bit funny.

He reached out and patted the old man's shoulder, neither lightly nor heavily.

Alright, put away that miserable expression of yours.

Lin Mo's tone was very relaxed, even carrying a hint of teasing.

The sky isn't going to fall, and even if it does, it'll have to ask for my permission first.

I will resolve all of this for you.

Jiang Chengshan abruptly looked up, his lips moving as he wanted to ask how he would resolve it—that was the Situ family!

But before he could ask.

Click.

The glaring red light above the operating room went out.

The air at the end of the corridor instantly froze.

Jiang Chengyue dashed to the door of the operating room in a single bound, staring fixedly at the tightly shut door.

A few seconds later, the door was pushed open, and the chief surgeon, wearing blue scrubs and looking exhausted, walked out and headed straight for Jiang Chengshan.

President Jiang.

The doctor took off his mask, his face heavy. We did our best. The patient is temporarily out of danger.

Jiang Chengshan and Jiang Chengyue had barely let out half a sigh of relief.

The doctor's next words plunged their hearts into an ice cellar.

However, the patient's internal organ damage is extremely severe. Right now, her life is entirely sustained by the life support system. To be blunt, she is currently like a shattered piece of porcelain that we've barely glued back together. She can't withstand any bumps or accidents. If another emergency occurs...

We will be powerless to save her.

These words were tantamount to a tactful death notice.

Jiang Chengshan's body swayed, barely able to stand firm.

Jiang Chengyue's face also turned pale as she grabbed the wall for support.

The atmosphere in the entire corridor was so oppressive that it made it hard to breathe.

Only Lin Mo's expression remained entirely unchanged.

He just quietly watched as the nurses wheeled out Aunt Qiong, who was covered in tubes and still unconscious, to send her to the ICU.

Lin Mo simply gave a faint glance and began to secretly activate his Rejuvenation technique.

The profoundness of this divine ability lay in its ability to heal from the inside out, repairing from the very source.

Even if it were a vegetative person, as long as their soul had not dissipated, they could be forcefully pulled back to life.

But he didn't plan to let Aunt Qiong wake up immediately; that would cause too much of a commotion. After finishing all this, Lin Mo turned and went to the lounge where Jiang Yunlu was. The rest could wait.

Outside the ICU ward, in front of the thick soundproof glass wall, the atmosphere was suffocating.

Jiang Chengyue pressed her small face against the cold glass, looking at Aunt Qiong inside, who was covered in tubes and wearing an oxygen mask. Her eyes were already completely red, and tears fell like broken strings of pearls.

Brother, Sister Qiong... she will be fine, right? Her voice was choked with sobs, full of helplessness.

Without Jiang Yunlu around, she was actually the youngest child of the Jiang family.

Jiang Chengshan took a deep breath, She will be. She definitely will be.

No matter what, we must find the murderer who reduced Sister Qiong to this state! Jiang Chengyue gritted her teeth.

It was easier said than done. It was just that Jiang Chengshan never told Jiang Chengyue too much.

The more one knew, the more trouble there was.

Only by knowing less could one live a more peaceful life.

Just then, the sound of unhurried footsteps echoed.

Lin Mo, having just settled Jiang Yunlu, strolled over. His calm expression was completely out of place with the heavy atmosphere around him.

His gaze pierced through the glass and landed on Aunt Qiong on the hospital bed. His eyes were calm and waveless, as if evaluating an object.

Then, he walked straight toward the tightly closed door of the ICU.

What are you doing?! Jiang Chengyue instantly became alert, like a mother cat protecting her cubs, spreading her arms to block the door.

You can't go in there!

Nothing.

Lin Mo casually waved his hand, Just going in to see if I can save her.

Before his voice faded, he had already bypassed Jiang Chengyue and pushed the door open.

Sir, this is the intensive care unit, you can't... A young nurse hurriedly ran over to stop him.

Lin Mo didn't even turn his head. He merely raised his hand and pushed. The young nurse stumbled back several steps, though she didn't feel any pain.

The young nurse wanted to say something else, but seeing the look in Lin Mo's eyes and terrified by the fleeting aura he emitted, she froze in place, unable to utter a single word.

Inside the ward, various monitoring devices emitted monotonous and rhythmic beeping sounds.

Under the horrified gazes of Jiang Chengyue and Jiang Chengshan, he reached out expressionlessly and directly removed Aunt Qiong's respirator!

Ear-piercing alarms instantly rang throughout the entire ward!

The heart rate and blood pressure curves danced wildly on the screen, plummeting straight down!

Brother! He's crazy! Jiang Chengyue turned deathly pale from fright.

Jiang Chengshan's heart also violently clenched, his fists instantly tightening.

However, Lin Mo acted as if he didn't hear the alarms. Without rushing, he fished out a dark Malteser candy from his pocket, pinched open Aunt Qiong's mouth, and stuffed it inside.

In reality, it truly was just a Malteser.
