Two hours ago, Mr. Mu's condition suddenly deteriorated rapidly at home, and he fell into a coma. He was rushed to the best hospital in the city for emergency treatment.

At this moment, in the emergency room, three of the most respected figures in Fujian's traditional Chinese medicine community—Zhang Yuanchao, Li Ping, and Huang Weimin—are working together to save lives!
Zhang Yuanchao used the life-saving technique from the Thirteen Ghost Needles to forcefully revive Old Master Mu's nearly dissipated vital energy and protect his heart meridian.

Li Ping and Huang Weimin used the Taiyi Divine Needle to help unblock the meridians, stimulate the remaining vitality in the body, and maintain the most basic vital signs.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere outside the corridor grew increasingly oppressive.

Finally, amidst everyone's anxious waiting, the tightly closed emergency room door was slowly pulled open from the inside.

Three renowned doctors, Zhang Yuanchao, Li Ping, and Huang Weimin, emerged, their faces bearing undisguised exhaustion and sorrow.

"Dean Zhang! How is my godfather?!"

Mu Linshan was the first to rush forward, her voice trembling with tears.

Qiu Qinxiang immediately came over as well. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were equally tense.

Zhang Yuanchao looked at the two women in front of him who could wield considerable influence in Fujian, shook his head heavily, and said in a hoarse voice.

“Old Mu… he is advanced in years, and this time his organ failure came on suddenly and violently… the three of us have done our best, but we can only stabilize the situation temporarily… I’m afraid… he only has one or two hours left at most…”

boom!
These words struck Mu Linshan like a thunderbolt, instantly turning her face deathly pale. Her delicate body swayed, and she almost lost her balance! Qiu Qinxiang's pupils also contracted sharply, and all color drained from her face!
"No...it's impossible! Dean Zhang, Dean Huang, Director Li! Please, I beg you, think of another way! No matter how much it costs, no matter what medicine you use, we're willing to do it! You must save my godfather!"

Mu Linshan grabbed Zhang Yuanchao's arm as if it were her last lifeline, and tears finally streamed down her face.

Looking at Mu Linshan's heartbroken state, and then at Qiu Qinxiang beside him whose eyes were darting around, seemingly lost in thought, Zhang Yuanchao pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly spoke.

“Miss Mu, Mrs. Qiu, if we are to say who in this world can create a miracle at this moment, perhaps... there is only one person left.”

"Who?!"

Mu Linshan and Qiu Qinxiang asked almost simultaneously, a faint glimmer of hope rekindling in their eyes.

Zhang Yuanchao pronounced the name clearly, word by word.

"Qin Luo."

"Qin Luo?"

Mu Linshan and Qiu Qinxiang were both taken aback, clearly unfamiliar with the name.

Zhang Yuanchao nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, Qin Luo, the Divine Doctor Qin!"
His medical skills have reached the profound level, far beyond our reach. If he were to intervene, perhaps... there really might be a glimmer of hope!

However, just as Mu Linshan and Qiu Qinxiang's hopes were rekindled, and they were preparing to spare no expense to immediately invite this "Divine Doctor Qin"—

Zhang Yuanchao's next words were like a bucket of ice water, chilling them to the bone!
Zhang Yuanchao added with an extremely strange and helpless expression on his face.

"However... this Doctor Qin is currently being held in the detention center of the West City Branch."

"What?! A detention center?!"

Mu Linshan gasped in shock.

Zhang Yuanchao sighed, his tone tinged with resentment.

"It's said that he filed a formal complaint against the Supreme Entertainment City under the name of Young Master Hui for gambling, but Young Master Hui used his connections to have him detained on charges of 'falsely reporting a crime'..."

Upon hearing this, the corridor fell into an instant silence!
All eyes instinctively turned to Qiu Qinxiang, whose face had instantly turned extremely pale!

It was actually her good son who sent the only person who could save Old Master Mu's life to prison?!

Everyone's gaze was like countless cold, sharp swords.

In an instant, all eyes were on Qiu Qinxiang, whose expression had suddenly changed!

Director Li Ping also sighed at the opportune moment, her tone carrying the helplessness of a doctor and a hint of barely perceptible indignation, as she added to the confirmation.

“That’s right. We tried to contact Doctor Qin before, hoping to ask him some medical questions, but we learned that he was imprisoned. The source of this lies with Young Master Zhao Hui.”

"It really was Prince Hui who did it?!"

"You bastard!
Does he even know what he's doing?!

"The old man is on the verge of death, and he actually sent the only person who could save him into jail?!"

After a brief silence, a volcanic eruption of rage erupted! The veterans and core members of Anbang Group in the corridor, though usually divided into two factions, Mu Linshan and Qiu Qinxiang, due to their interests and allegiances, were engaged in open and covert struggles with each other.

But in the end, the vast majority of them had fought alongside Old Master Mu, and they always held a sense of awe and loyalty to the old man who founded Anbang Group!

At this moment, upon hearing that the only chance of survival for Old Master Mu had been squandered by the纨绔子弟 (son of a spoiled, dissolute family) Prince Hui due to personal grudges, the pent-up anger was instantly ignited!

An angry and condemning gaze pierced Qiu Qinxiang as if they were physical, questioning how she had raised such a useless and troublesome son!
Qiu Qinxiang felt extremely uncomfortable under these gazes, her face turning pale and then flushed.

She knew better than anyone that Grandpa Mu was her and her son's biggest support!

Once the old man truly passes away, and the fact remains that his savior Qin Luo is still being held captive by his own son, the mother and son will immediately become the target of public criticism.

Without the support of all the elders, all previous plans will come to naught, and they may even perish without a burial place!
Overwhelming fear and intense self-interest led her to make a decision in an instant!

She could no longer care about anything else. She immediately took out her phone, found Prince Hui's number, and dialed it fiercely, her tone more stern and urgent than ever before.

"Xiaohui! You get to the emergency room of the First Hospital right now! If I don't see you within ten minutes, you can never call me Mom again!"

……

Meanwhile, inside "Haoting," the most exclusive private club in Mindu.

Prince Zhao Hui was enjoying the attentive service of two charming young women who had just been flown in from Japan, with his arms around both of them. The table was filled with expensive foreign wines and fruit platters, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of extravagance.

His phone kept ringing beside him, displaying the name "Li Dongnan" on the screen, but he just glanced at it disdainfully, hung up immediately, and even deliberately put the phone on silent, scoffing.

"Hmph, an old dog, nagging like it's killing me! Want me to release them? Dream on!" He pulled a woman into his arms, ready to take his new "toy" to another place to continue his pleasure, when his mother called.

Hearing Qiu Qinxiang's unprecedentedly stern and anxious tone on the phone, even tinged with panic, Prince Hui's heart skipped a beat, realizing that something serious might have happened.

He didn't dare to delay. He pushed the woman next to him aside, grabbed his car keys, and without even changing out of his flashy sequined suit, hurriedly drove to the First Hospital.

He sped all the way to the VIP emergency room on the top floor of the hospital.

The moment he stepped out of the elevator and into the corridor, he was stunned by the scene before him and the oppressive, suffocating atmosphere!

On both sides of the corridor stood a dense crowd of Anbang Group's core figures. The uncles and elders who were usually quite polite to him now all had gloomy faces and cold eyes, staring at him as if he were their father's killer!
The anger and chill in his eyes sent a shiver down his spine.

"Mom... Sister Linshan... what... what happened? Grandpa, he..."

Prince Hui forced himself to remain calm and walked up to Qiu Qinxiang and Mu Linshan, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible guilt.

However, before his mother could speak, Mu Linshan had already stepped forward, her cold eyes like two sharp knives piercing Prince Hui's heart, her voice filled with suppressed anger as she directly questioned him.

"Zhao Hui! Was it you?! Was it you who used your connections to get that Qin Luo locked up in the West City Branch Detention Center?!"

Crown Prince Hui was forced to take a half step back by Mu Linshan's sudden fierce aura. Upon hearing Qin Luo's name, he subconsciously stiffened his neck and admitted it.

"So what if it's me?! It's...it's me!"

That kid dared to report my place, causing my newly opened entertainment center to be shut down and resulting in huge losses! I'll put him in jail for a few days, so what?!

He brought this on himself!

He tried to emphasize his "grievances" and Qin Luo's "despicable" behavior in hopes of gaining some sympathy.

But to his utter surprise, Mu Linshan didn't bother to listen to his explanation at all. She interrupted him directly and gave a stern command in an unquestionable tone, as if it were an ultimatum.

“I don’t care what grudge you have against him! Now, I’m giving you one hour! Within one hour, you must bring Qin Luo here unharmed, to the door of this emergency room! Otherwise…”

Mu Linshan didn't finish her sentence, but the cold glint in her beautiful eyes said it all.

"What?! You want me to fetch that bastard?! And bring him here?!"

Prince Hui was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; he instantly bristled and refused without thinking, his voice becoming shrill due to extreme resistance.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even if I, Zhao Hui, die, I will never bow down to that bastard!"

This is utterly self-degrading! I…

"Snapped!!"

A crisp, resounding slap landed hard on Prince Hui's face, silencing all his shouts!

It was Mu Linshan who made the move!
She slapped him with all her might, leaving five clear finger marks on Prince Hui's well-maintained face!

The entire corridor fell silent; everyone was stunned by Mu Linshan's sudden action!

Prince Hui was also stunned by the beating, covering his face and looking at Mu Linshan in disbelief.

"You...you dare hit me?!"

"Snapped!!"

Another backhand slap landed on his other cheek! The force was equally merciless!

"So what if I hit you?!"

Mu Linshan's eyes were as cold as ice, and her voice seemed to come from the deepest hell.

"Zhao Hui, let me tell you, now is not the time for you to throw a tantrum like a spoiled young master!"

Seeing this, Qiu Qinxiang felt sorry for her son, but she knew that this was not the time to protect him. She quickly stepped forward, pulled Mu Linshan back from her outburst, and hurriedly explained to Prince Hui.

"Xiaohui! Calm down! Listen to your mother! Your Grandpa Mu... he's dying! Dean Zhang and the others said that right now, Qin Luo is the only one in the whole world who might be able to save him!"

She pointed to the closed doors of the emergency room, her voice trembling with tears and an unprecedented seriousness.

"Mom had already asked Li Dongnan to release the people! But... but Qin Luo himself doesn't want to come out!"

He said... he said unless you go and invite him in person!
The one who tied the knot must untie it! Only you can get him here now! I'm begging you, for your Grandpa Mu's sake, please humble yourself just this once, okay?!

Upon hearing this, Prince Hui finally understood the seriousness of the matter!
It turns out that it wasn't Li Dongnan who wouldn't release him, but that bastard Qin Luo who was deliberately holding him hostage!

And the life and death of Old Master Mu actually depended on the person he hated to the bone!

The immense sense of humiliation and his consistent arrogance made it impossible for him to accept this fact.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and almost roared as he refused again.

"No! I won't go! You want me to beg him? I'll only do that if I die!! The old man... the old man must have another way! I don't believe it..."

However, he stopped abruptly before he could finish uttering his refusal!

He felt as if the temperature in the entire corridor had suddenly dropped to freezing point!
Those Anbang Group veterans and key members who were originally just glaring at him now had eyes that were no longer filled with anger, but instead with a naked, undisguised, and icy killing intent!
Dozens of gazes, like dozens of blood-stained, unsheathed daggers, were fixed on him!
Those old guys who had followed Master Mu through thick and thin, crawling out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, had no expression on their faces, only a chilling indifference, as if they were looking at an obstacle that was about to be cleared away!

Prince Hui's heart suddenly clenched, and a fear originating from the depths of his soul instantly seized him!

He had no doubt that if he dared to utter even half a "no" again, the next second, these ruthless people loyal to Old Master Mu would pounce on him without hesitation and tear him to pieces!

He died "accidentally" in this hospital corridor!
What prince, what young master Hui? At the critical moment of Old Master Mu's life and death, and when he has offended the public, he is nothing but a nobody!

His arrogance vanished instantly before this absolute power and killing intent, like ice and snow under the sun, leaving only boundless fear and chilling coldness.

On one hand, there was his deep-seated pride and his intense hatred for Qin Luo, which made him prefer death to bowing down to the enemy who ruined his business and humiliated him.
On the other side, there was the cruel reality of Old Master Mu's life hanging by a thread, as well as his mother Qiu Qinxiang's almost desperate urging and the chilling killing intent of the elders in the corridor!
He had no doubt that if his stubbornness led to Old Master Mu's death due to insufficient medical attention, he and his mother would be utterly unable to withstand the wrath of the old men within the Anbang Group! (End of Chapter)
