Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

You can't afford to make a single wrong step, or you'll die a horrible death!

All eyes were on Master Lin.

The elderly man, lying on his sickbed and barely alive, had taken control of the entire situation.

Master Lin smiled contentedly and said leisurely:

"So, next, I need to make a decision..."

353. Lu Chengzhou, not a good person

"Next, I need to make a decision."

Mr. Lin instructed his lawyer to write down exactly what he had said.

The lawyer glanced at him, adjusted his glasses, and kept his hands on the keyboard, ready to take notes at any moment.

"First, I want to transfer XXX shares, XX shares, and XXXX shares to my son, Lin Chen."

Hearing this, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

These three stocks are currently very valuable.

The others are insignificant compared to these three stocks.

It seems his father still loves him.

Then, Master Lin continued, "Next, I will give those estates in the northern part of Yicheng, including the house deeds, to my adopted son, Lu Chengzhou."

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou only had one thing to say: "Sell the horse's hide."

Those estates and house deeds, they sound like a lot, right? And they look like a lot, right?

In reality, it's not worth any money at all!

That's suburban land; it can't be compared to land in the city.

Mr. Lin's words were not meant to be a genuine gesture of goodwill towards Lu Chengzhou, but rather to solidify their relationship!

But, clearly, Lin Chen hadn't thought of that.

All he could tell was that his father wanted to give away what originally belonged to him to an outsider!

Normally, he could call Lu Chengzhou "brother," but at this moment, absolutely not!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's face darkened again.

"Attorney Wang, wait a moment."

Ignoring Lu Chengzhou's advice once again, he stepped forward and snatched the computer from the lawyer's hand.

Then, in front of Master Lin, he deleted that sentence.

"I don't acknowledge Lu Chengzhou as my sworn brother, and don't even think about finding me a relative!"

Lin Chen looked down at his own father.

"As for my property, I will not leave a single piece to outsiders!"

Mr. Lin coughed heavily twice, then closed his eyes dejectedly and said nothing more.

It seems she was quite angry with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen sneered and turned to look at Attorney Wang: "Attorney Wang, if my father didn't leave a will and just died of illness, how should his property be distributed?"

Attorney Wang adjusted his glasses again and said, "Given Mr. Lin's situation, all those assets will belong to you."

"Did you hear that, my dear father?"

Upon hearing this, Master Lin immediately opened his eyes again.

He turned his head to the side, stared at Lin Chen, and looked at him for a long time.

Finally, he sighed softly and closed his eyes once more.

This narrow-minded and impulsive son is far inferior to Lu Chengzhou.

At this moment, Master Lin no longer felt angry, but only sad.

If Lu Chengzhou didn't exist, he could confidently entrust such a large business to Lin Chen, but now...

Absolutely not.

The worst outcome is not just that Lin Chen squanders his family fortune, but that after squandering it, he turns to crime!

On the other hand, Lu Chengzhou's plan to fake bankruptcy did have a significant effect.

Without that plan, Lin Chen might be in a worse situation than he imagined.

such a pity……

His time is running out.

Thinking of this, Master Lin sighed deeply once again.

Jiang Aiyu frowned thoughtfully as she looked at the despairing Mr. Lin.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Lu Chengzhou.

He said earnestly, "Lu Chengzhou, you should be out by now, right?"

Lu Chengzhou nodded and left the ward with Jiang Aiyu.

At this point, he certainly wouldn't choose to stay here any longer.

If Old Master Lin were to hold his hand and deliver a classic deathbed entrustment speech, he might actually start to consider Lin Chen a brother, and then how could he possibly cheat him in the future?

……

Outside.

Looking out, there is a wide expanse of green forest.

Lu Chengzhou led Jiang Aiyu on a aimless stroll through the woods, looking around at the scenery.

At this moment, Jiang Aiyu suddenly squatted down and started rummaging through the grass.

Lu Chengzhou turned around and glanced at her.

What are you looking for?

"Hmm, I think I see a Chinese herbal medicine."

Jiang Aiyu picked up a white stone and pinched a centipede with her bare hands.

Lu Chengzhou was horrified: "You'd better throw that thing away right now, it's poisonous!"

Jiang Aiyu didn't throw it away, but examined it carefully, as if it were not a poison, but a panacea to save lives.

Lu Chengzhou urged her repeatedly to throw away what she was holding.

Jiang Aiyu had no choice but to throw it away.

After throwing it away, she slowly asked, "Teacher, don't you think this centipede is particularly red?"

Lu Chengzhou nodded.

Jiang Aiyu: "That's right, I also think it's very popular."

Lu Chengzhou: "So?"

Jiang Ai said, "When it is boiled together with 113 other kinds of herbs into a bowl, it can save Old Lin's life."

Lu Chengzhou: "...Huh?"

He exclaimed "Huh?" and then, a moment later, exclaimed "Ah!"

His face was also full of shock.

This stuff really is a life-saving elixir!

What are we waiting for? Of course, we should catch it right away!

However, Jiang Aiyu remained motionless.

She said with a slight regret, "However, there is probably no hope now. I've only ever seen such a red centipede once."

Lu Chengzhou: "Then I'll go find it!"

He immediately squatted down beside her and began searching around.

Jiang Aiyu looked at him in silence.

Why is he so concerned about Master Lin, who is not his relative?

Little did she know the torment Lu Chengzhou was going through at that moment.

The longer Master Lin lives, the more he can contribute to the Lin family. Perhaps he can even help them counter the Meng family and restore a balance of power.

As long as those two families start fighting, Lu Chengzhou can continue to enjoy his peaceful and carefree life.

With that in mind, Lu Chengzhou searched even faster.

Jiang Aiyu sighed: "Sometimes, I think the teacher is a bad person, but most of the time, I still think the teacher is a good person."

Lu Chengzhou: "I'm not a good person."

Jiang Aiyu smiled, a rare occurrence: "Would a bad person be so eager to find a cure for a stranger?"

Lu Chengzhou remained silent for a while.

Perhaps she's right.

Putting aside any personal gain, I do indeed have the intention of saving a life.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to it."

……

From dawn till dusk.

They turned over almost every inch of soil within a five-mile radius, but they couldn't find any more of those particularly red centipedes. Instead, they found many that were dark and murky.

Those dark creatures seem to have no natural enemies in this land. They are well-nourished, fat and strong, and look quite frightening.
