C60 Lin Zhiqing Is in Danger!!

No sooner had the words been spoken than all eyes in the room snapped to Lin Zhiqing.

With a furrowed brow, Lin Zhiqing pieced together the situation at last.

Her icy gaze locked onto Lin Junkai. She was uncertain if he knew the truth, yet it never crossed her mind that he would betray her like this.

Lee Fengqin was equally flabbergasted, her lips quivering as she asked, "Zhiqing, did you go there or not?"

Both Lin Guofeng and Lin Guolong's stares bore into Lin Zhiqing.

"Yes, I did go," Lin Zhiqing admitted coolly, "but Grandfather was asleep. I just glanced in and left."

"Who can vouch for you?"

Lin Junkai's question came through clenched teeth, his face etched with disbelief.

He seemed to struggle with accepting the reality before him.

"I..."

Lin Zhiqing faltered, her voice trailing off.

Only after a moment of reflection did she realize that the villa had been empty when she arrived—Mrs. Wang had even stepped out to shop for groceries.

Zhang Chen's eyes narrowed, his attention now fixed on Lin Junkai.

Lee Junyi had been correct after all.

Lin Zhiqing's moment of hesitation sent a ripple of tension through the room, but a smug glint flickered in Lin Junkai's eyes.

Lin Guofeng rose in fury, his voice icy as he demanded, "Zhiqing, did you do it!?"

Without a moment's pause, Lin Zhiqing's frown deepened as she countered, "No! How could I ever harm Grandpa?"

"Don't act like we're clueless," Lin Junkai interjected swiftly. "You resent Grandfather for casting out the Lin family and for not handing over the reins of Lin's Group to you!"

The motive for murder was clear.

Lin Guolong's anger was palpable as he slammed his fist on the table, rising to his feet. "Lin Zhiqing, I never imagined you capable of such a deed!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Zhiqing's eyes shimmered with a steely resolve.

They were pinning the crime squarely on her shoulders.

"I've already told you, it wasn't me!" she declared, her voice unwavering and cold.

Lin Junkai's smirk only grew more pronounced.

Just then, the hospital room door swung open once more.

A middle-aged woman entered, clad in her usual cooking attire and apron, her appearance tinged with weariness.

Upon seeing the middle-aged woman, everyone paused in shock.

"Mrs. Wang? What brings you here?" Lin Junkai's eyes went wide as he feigned surprise.

Zhang Chen let out a scoff, his acting impressively convincing.

Mrs. Wang quickly produced a jar from her hands and hurried over to Lin Zhiqing.

Without a word, she placed the jar into Lin Zhiqing's hands.

Lin Zhiqing's eyebrows knitted together as she instinctively accepted it.

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes; he didn't need to guess to know that this jar was undoubtedly linked to the poison Old Master Lin had ingested.

Fingerprints, got them!

They truly were cunning!

Mrs. Wang spoke up in a rush, "Miss, this is the tonic you asked me to give to the Old Master. I've brought it especially for you. Is he able to take it now? How's his condition?"

After speaking, her eyes darted anxiously to the bed.

But everyone was taken aback.

A tonic for the Old Master?

Without a moment's delay, Lin Junkai stepped forward and snatched the jar from Lin Zhiqing's grasp.

Lin Zhiqing's frown deepened as she asked icily, "Mrs. Wang, when did I ever give you this?"

Mrs. Wang looked utterly confused, "Huh? Wasn't it you who gave it to me yesterday? And today, you personally delivered it to the Old Master. When you went, you even told me to go buy other tonics for him."

Her words cast a solemn air over the room.

Lin Guofeng and Lin Guolong's eyes flickered with uncontrollable rage.

Lin Zhiqing stepped back, her realization dawning too late.

Lee Fengqin also stood there, shaking her head in disbelief, "Impossible! Zhiqing, you couldn't have done this, could you?"

A sly smile played on Zhang Chen's lips.

He was in no rush. After all, everything would be clear once Old Master Lin awoke.

For now, his hopes were pinned on Lau Qingyue.

Zhang Chen had great confidence in Lau Qingyue.

Lin Zhiqing, grasping the gravity of the situation, declared coldly, "This is a setup! When my grandfather awakens, the truth will reveal itself!"

Lin Junkai let out a derisive sneer, "Do you really think we're fools?"

"You've already administered the poison; do you really think you'd let Grandpa wake up again?"

"Now that I have this jar, with all the evidence and witnesses accounted for, it'll be clear you're the culprit once we verify its contents match the poison in Grandpa's system."

Lin Zhiqing's body faltered, and she stumbled backward.

Rapid thoughts raced through her mind, and slowly, an answer began to form.

She lifted her gaze incredulously to Lin Junkai.

"Get this tested immediately! If it turns out you're behind this..."

Lin Guofeng cut through the air with a dismissive hand, his icy glare fixed on Lin Zhiqing.

No sooner had his words fallen than someone emerged from the background, seizing the jar and exiting the hospital room.

Lin Zhiqing inhaled sharply, her thoughts solidifying.

She was nearly certain Lin Junkai was responsible. Yet, the motive eluded her.

Lost in her shock, the sound of footsteps approached from outside.

The door swung open, and Tang Guozhong entered.

Lin Guofeng shot Lin Zhiqing a fierce look before stepping forward, addressing the newcomer with deference, "Mr. Tang, about my father..."

Tang Guozhong let out a deep sigh, his voice laced with helplessness, "I'm fully aware of his condition. He's in grave danger."

"The venom is exceedingly rare and has significantly impacted the malignant tumor in the Old Master's body, hastening its spread."

"Initially, the Old Master had at least four days for treatment. Now, he has no more than two hours..."

A wave of shock rippled through the room.

"What?"

Lin Guofeng's eyes bulged as he staggered back.

Lin Junkai moved swiftly to steady him.

Tang Guozhong pressed on, "If we can't excise the tumor within the next two hours..."

He trailed off, but the implication hung heavily in the air.

Silence enveloped the ward, each face etched with grief.

Tang Guozhong exhaled a heavy sigh, his words tinged with fury, "Old Master Lin is such a decent man. Who could have the heart to inflict such cruelty?"

"Vice Director, we've identified the perpetrator who targeted my grandfather..."

Lin Junkai clenched his jaw, rage etched across his face as he pointed accusingly at Lin Zhiqing. "It was her!"
