C58 Teachings!

Zheng Guoyuan's mouth twitched wildly once again.

The manager, shaking, edged closer to Zheng Guoyuan and murmured something into his ear.

Realization dawned on Zheng Guoyuan, and he quickly plastered on an apologetic grin. "They're the ones who hit the car. Without their half a million yuan today, there's no way I'm letting them leave!"

"We're running a small operation here. We can't afford to take a loss."

He finished speaking and then quietly asked, "Is that okay, Young Master Chen?"

His voice was low, but everyone was watching him intently.

Zhang Chen responded with a good-natured smile, "Alright, if that's the case, I guess we have no other choice. We'll be taking our leave now."

Zheng Guoyuan bowed hastily, "Farewell, Young Master Chen!"

Without further delay, Zhang Chen led a still bewildered Lin Miao to the car.

The woman with green hair was left in shock.

"Miaomiao! Please, I'm begging you, Miaomiao!"

Her cries fell on deaf ears as Zhang Chen, without any reaction, escorted Lin Miao into the vehicle.

Loong San quickly drove off, leaving them behind.

Zheng Guoyuan exhaled deeply, his dark gaze settling on the green-haired woman.

He needed an outlet for his pent-up rage.

In a fluster, the woman protested, "I won't pay you a dime. This is a scam!"

Zheng Guoyuan let out a cold laugh, "Where's your proof?"

With just one line, the green-haired woman and her companions were at a loss.

Unaware and uninterested in the events that had just unfolded, Zhang Chen focused on the road ahead.

Inside the car, Lin Miao's expression remained a complex tangle of emotions. She was still reeling from the earlier shock.

She couldn't fathom how the man she considered worthless had risen to such prominence.

Turning to Zhang Chen, her eyes were filled with a mix of emotions.

Zhang Chen, still smiling, said, "He's someone I helped once. He's just trying to repay the favor. I trust you won't spread rumors about this when we get back."

"If you do, and Zheng Guoyuan comes after you, don't expect me to intervene."

Lin Miao shuddered and nodded hurriedly.

Zhang Chen continued, "From now on, keep your distance from those types of people. You're a student; focus on your studies, alright?"

Lin Miao nodded emphatically, her eyes glinting with resentment.

She couldn't believe their audacity!

Zhang Chen remained silent, while Lin Miao's curious gaze stayed fixed on him, unable to make sense of the situation.

Soon, Loong San parked the car not far from the Lin family estate.

Lin Miao stepped out and walked slowly toward the Lin compound.

Zhang Chen was in no mood to pay her any mind. He had already lost enough time today, but thankfully, he had nearly resolved Zheng Guoyuan's issues.

He assumed he had secured the shares from the others by now. Mr. Hwa was the only challenging holdout.

Before he could dwell on it, Loong San's grave voice broke the silence, "It looks like there's trouble at the Lin family."

Zhang Chen's brow furrowed at the news.

He looked back and noticed several luxury cars parked near the Lin compound.

Had something happened to Old Master Lin?

A sense of urgency gripped Zhang Chen.

"Could it be related to Lin Junkai?" Loong San's voice suggested.

The question sent a jolt through Zhang Chen. In the midst of his busy schedule, he had overlooked Lin Junkai!

After all, Lin Junkai and Lee Junyi had conspired to harm Old Master Lin.

"Hasn't Lee Junyi reached out to you?" Zhang Chen asked, his concern evident.

Loong San replied slowly, "I've been out of the loop. Lin Junkai probably noticed something off about Lee Junyi. Today's the day Lee Junyi is supposed to collect the antidote."

Zhang Chen's anxiety deepened. "Get Lee Junyi here now!"

Without a moment's delay, Loong San pulled out his phone and made a call.

They pulled over to the side of the road, and Zhang Chen's gaze anxiously swept the entrance of the compound, his heart racing with unease.

It wasn't long before an ambulance arrived.

Zhang Chen didn't have to wonder; it had to be Old Master Lin.

Once the ambulance departed, a luxury car pulled up smoothly in front of their Mercedes. Lee Junyi emerged, his face etched with worry.

Zhang Chen opened the car door, and Lee Junyi scrambled into the back seat, his eyes alight with a desperate hope.

Zhang Chen's voice was icy as he demanded, "What's going on with the Lin family?"

Lee Junyi replied, his voice laced with urgency, "I have no idea. After I got back, Lin Junkai never reached out to me. He might have discovered something, but if he followed our original plan, Lin Junkai would have made his move by now!"

The thought enraged Zhang Chen. Regardless of everything, Old Master Lin had always been good to him.

"What else do you know?" Zhang Chen pressed, his anxiety palpable.

After a moment's reflection, Lee Junyi hurriedly responded, "The plan was for me to assist from the outside. Lin Junkai intended to poison the Old Master and somehow pin the blame on Lin Zhiqing."

Zhang Chen's fury reached a boiling point.

He could never have imagined Lin Junkai plotting to set up Lin Zhiqing!

"Why didn't you mention this sooner!" Zhang Chen exploded.

Near tears, Lee Junyi stammered, "I honestly didn't know. It's just a guess I made after I returned. I couldn't be certain..."

"Get out!"

Zhang Chen commanded with a steely tone.

Lee Junyi scrambled out of the car, his eyes brimming with worry.

As the car pulled away, Loong San tossed a small box out of the window. Lee Junyi, eyes alight with excitement, dashed to retrieve it.

He opened the box and without a second thought, swallowed the medicine inside, sighing deeply in relief.

Meanwhile, Loong San sped towards the hospital.

Upon arrival, Zhang Chen leapt from the car and bolted into the building.

He quickly located the emergency room thanks to the signs. After a brief search and a few inquiries, he found the critical care ward.

Reaching the designated floor, Zhang Chen was met with a corridor crowded with members of the Lin family.
