Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

Zhao Jian rushed into the ward and ran to Tong Yuan's bedside in a few steps.

"Old Tong! Old Tong, you're awake?"

Zhao Jian's voice trembled as he hurriedly checked the various data on the monitor.

Tong Yuan was still weak, but at least he had opened his eyes.

He looked at his old friend of many years, blinked his eyes with difficulty, and his lips moved slightly, but he still couldn't make a sound.

"Don't talk, don't talk! Rest first!"

Zhao Jian's eyes instantly reddened. He quickly checked Tong Yuan's pupils, breathing, and heartbeat, examining him three times.

Although all indicators are still far from healthy levels, it's... much better than last night!

"A miracle! This is absolutely a miracle!"

He suddenly turned his head, wanting to find the person who had created the miracle!

Lin Xuan!

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan was lying on the cot beside him, fast asleep.

His complexion was also not good, and he looked a little pale. Zhao Xueli sat beside him and carefully covered him with a blanket.

At this moment, Zhao Jian felt as if countless ants were crawling inside his heart; he was extremely anxious and helpless.

"Yaoyao, when this young man wakes up tomorrow, you must tell me! You absolutely must!"

Tong Yao nodded and said, "No problem, Uncle Zhao, but there's one more thing I need to trouble you with."

"Girl, just say it, as long as I can help!" Zhao Jian nodded quickly.

"I would like to ask you to announce publicly that my father... has passed away!"

"What? What does this mean? Your father isn't..." Zhao Jian was stunned for a moment, looking at Tong Yuan beside him, somewhat confused.

"My dad survived, but the person who poisoned him hasn't been found yet. I want to... use this incident to find that person!"

Tong Yao's eyes were sharp, and she clenched her fists.

Ten minutes ago.

"That's about it. The toxins have been eliminated, and the life force has been activated. You can leave the rest to Dr. Zhao."

Lin Xuan patted Tong Yao, who was hugging him and had a rosy face.

But at this moment, he had no mind for anything, only extreme exhaustion.

"Are you really alright?" Tong Yao let go of her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it'll be fine for a while."

"That's great! Thank you! Lin Xuan, I'll go get Uncle Zhao right now!"

"Don't rush, Tong Yao!" Lin Xuan pulled her back.

Tong Yao was stunned for a moment.

"This is a good opportunity; you can use this chance to find out who poisoned your father."

Tong Yao was already incredibly intelligent, but now her mind was entirely focused on Tong Yuan's safety.

She reacted instantly when Lin Xuan pointed at her.

"You mean...faking death?"

"Um."

Seeing that she understood what he meant, Lin Xuan nodded, then went straight to the cot next to him and fell asleep immediately.

.

Tong Yao felt a mix of emotions at that moment.

If this had happened before, what would Chen Chuang have done?

They'll probably just urge her to take over the family business as soon as possible and try to make some money, without caring about her father's life or death at all.

Fortunately, it's completely over between us!

Not only is he divorced, but he is also suspected of multiple crimes and will have to spend at least a decade in prison!

Tong Yao took a deep breath, her eyes gradually hardening.

She walked out of the ward, gave a few instructions to the bodyguard captain, who nodded and quickly left with his men.

Tong Yao didn't sleep all night.

She sat by her father's bedside, holding his hand.

My mind was racing.

She was able to stand out among the younger generation of the Tong family not because of her father Tong Yuan's favoritism, but because of her own abilities!

The scene today.

What she needs to do is not panic, but fight back!

At five o'clock in the morning, Tong Yao had already arranged everything.

At six o'clock, she and Zhao Xueli left the ward together.

At 6:30, Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

"hiss--"

As soon as he tried to move, his whole body protested with aches and pains, as if every bone was about to fall apart.

His internal energy was almost completely depleted, and even the small sword in his dantian had become quiet.

"It's ruined..."

Lin Xuan sighed.

Unexpectedly, after four or five days, not only had I not recovered at all, but I was even weaker.

He secretly resolved that he could not waste a single bit of his true energy before he was fully recovered!

He struggled to sit up and found that only he and Tong Yuan were left in the ward.

The two ladies have disappeared.

He didn't pay attention, but as soon as he looked up, he found that Tong Yuan had opened his eyes at some point and was quietly looking at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Tong Yuan slowly raised his hand and laboriously removed his oxygen mask, his voice weak: "Young man... thank you."

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked to the bedside.

"Uncle Tong, you're too kind. I'm Tong Yao's friend, so of course I can't just stand by and watch her die."

As he spoke, he helped adjust the angle of the hospital bed to make it more comfortable.

Tong Yuan looked at him intently, his eyes filled with gratitude and scrutiny.

In fact, Tong Yuan had regained consciousness long ago. After escaping death, he was pulled back by Lin Xuan.

He had already felt it last night when Lin Xuan was giving him acupuncture.

He could also hear the conversations outside.

This young man's medical skills...

"Young man... are you also a successor of ancient martial arts?" Tong Yuan asked after catching his breath.

Lin Xuan shook his head: "I'm not."

He was telling the truth; he still doesn't know what a successor of ancient martial arts is.

But Tong Yuan clearly misunderstood; he thought Lin Xuan simply didn't want to reveal his identity.

He didn't ask any further questions. After a moment of silence, he continued:

"Young man, you saved my life and the Tong family's life. If I survive this, I will repay you handsomely in the future! But now, the Tong family..."

He paused, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "I'm afraid Yao Yao won't be able to handle it alone."

Lin Xuan understood his meaning and nodded:

"Uncle Tong, don't worry, I will help Tong Yao. However... is there anyone who suspects something amiss with the strange nature of your poison?"

Tong Yuan sighed:

"I initially thought it was because we'd been fighting too fiercely with the Chen family lately, and they were secretly attacking us. But you're saying it's a long-term poison... then it can only mean there's a traitor within the Tong family."

"Are there any suspects?" Lin Xuan asked.

He believed that someone who had been in charge of the Tong family for so long must have noticed a lot, but perhaps he just didn't want to believe it.

Tong Yuan remained silent for a long time before slowly uttering three names:

"The first one is my wife... Liu Meijuan. She is the most likely candidate. Don't laugh at me, but she's the one who drained my body."

Tong Yuan gave a wry smile when he said this.

It seems like he's mocking himself.

"The second one is my younger brother... Tong Jin."

Tong Yuan... Tong Jin?

You two brothers certainly know how to pick names.

Lin Xuan mentally complained.

"Thirdly, my personal butler, for safety."

"Safe? That name does sound reassuring." Lin Xuan noted down the three names.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Yang Jian rushed in, and as soon as he saw Lin Xuan was awake, he quickly walked over:

"Mr. Lin! Please accept me as your apprentice!"
