Chapter 1013: There is Still Hope
Snap!
Putting down his chopsticks, Jiang Chen stood up and coldly stated, "Since you claim I'm in it for the benefits, well, today Jiang Chen will be just for that. I'll take half of the Will Family's property. Let's go!"
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Jiang!"
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"
The grateful Ha Ruisi couple immediately scrambled up from the ground to lead the way for Jiang Chen!
Although half of their property was lost, Ha Ruisi didn't blame Jiang Chen at all; it was their own doing. Besides, if John had died, there would have been no one to inherit the Will Family's property anyway!
...
Private hospital, intensive care unit.
John lay on the hospital bed, his face pale and his breathing extremely weak.
Four men in black suits stood at each corner of the bed, while two men in black suits stood by the door, staring intently at Tom Sen and Ke Lisi standing off to the side.
Since the departure of the three from the Ha Ruisi family, Tom Sen and Ke Lisi had been restless, occasionally glancing at the life-support monitor beside John, hoping that the line on it would turn flat immediately!
"Tom Sen, could that Jiang Chen really cure John?" Ke Lisi raised her head to glance at the two men in black suits at the door, her voice slightly panicked as she whispered into Tom Sen's ear.
"I don't know. John said that Jiang Chen had managed to stabilize his condition on the plane just with three Silver Needles. Maybe he could really cure him!" Tom Sen said grimly, glancing at John on the bed.
"What… what do we do then? They wouldn't find out that we secretly switched John's medication, would they?" Ke Lisi said nervously.
"Shh!"
Tom Sen quickly made a silencing gesture, sweeping his gaze over the men in black suits and whispered, "Don't worry, they won't. The components we switched in the medication are the same as those originally prescribed to John, only the dosage was incorrect. They couldn't detect it even if they took it for testing!"
The six men in black suits simultaneously tightened their gaze and glanced at Tom Sen and Ke Lisi, then quickly resumed their stance.
"That's good. As long as it doesn't show up on the tests, we will deny it to our death. I don't believe Ha Ruisi will do anything to us based just on what Pi Te says!"
Ke Lisi breathed a sigh of relief, her expression cold as she said, "That damn Pi Te is too smart! And that Jiang Chen, what a jerk, daring to hit us. I curse him to fail in curing John, then watch Ha Ruisi explode in anger and smash his head!"
"Mom! Stop it! I've heard the Knights have exceptional hearing! Don't let them hear you!" Tom Sen pulled Ke Lisi back and looked again at the six men in black suits, his eyes filled with apprehension.
Thump, thump, thump!
Click!
Footsteps approached, the door to the hospital room opened, and the Ha Ruisi couple entered with Jiang Chen and Pi Te.
"Mr. Jiang, please, I beg of you!" Ha Ruisi glanced at John on the bed, then turned to Jiang Chen with a look of anxiety.
"Mr. Jiang, please!" Ke Lisi bowed to Jiang Chen, her face full of hope.
Jiang Chen glanced at Tom Sen and Ke Lisi, then at the six men in black suits, and spoke with a hint of deeper meaning, "It seems you've found the culprits! When we were on the plane, Ya Sha already mentioned she was acting under someone's orders, and now it seems believable."
After dropping that statement, Jiang Chen walked over to the bedside, the man in a black suit sensibly making way for him.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ha Ruisi's expression abruptly changed, and he turned to fix his gaze sharply on Tom Sen and Ke Lisi.
"Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't order Ya Sha to harm John." Tom Sen's expression changed, and he spoke anxiously.
Jiang Chen placed his hand on John's pulse to check his condition, sneered at the remark, and said with a tinge of sarcasm, "Did I say that Ya Sha was instructed to harm John?"
"You…" Tom Sen's face changed, his heart skipping a beat.
Ha Ruisi's complexion suddenly changed, his gaze toward Tom Sen filled with a gloomy tint.
"Family Head!" A man in a black suit came to Ha Ruisi's side and whispered a few words into his ear.
Hummm!
A freezing intent to kill burst forth from Ha Ruisi, who stared directly at Tom Sen and coldly began, "Tom Sen, you..."
Beep beep beep...
Before Ha Ruisi could finish speaking, a mechanical alarm sounded, changing everyone's expression as they all looked toward the hospital bed.
The vital signs monitor next to the bed displayed a line of flat signals—John had completely lost all vital signs!
"John!"
"John!"
Ha Ruisi and his wife cried out in shock; Mai Lisha quickly ran to the bedside and was about to throw herself onto John!
"If you want him to die, go ahead and throw yourself!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.
Mai Lisha's body abruptly stiffened there!
Pi Te's eyes lit up, and he pulled Mai Lisha away, standing by Jiang Chen's side, urgently saying, "Mr. Jiang, is there still a chance to save John?"
"There is, but I only brought eight silver needles. The best treatment would need sixteen!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.
"I have them! Ever since I saw Mr. Jiang's miraculous acupuncture last time, I bought a set of silver needles and practiced wherever I went. They're in my car. I'll go get them!" Pi Te said urgently.
"Five minutes. If you can bring them, he can be saved!" Jiang Chen spoke again.
"I'll go get them right now!" Pi Te quickly responded and turned to run out of the ward.
"Pi Te!" Ha Ruisi grabbed Pi Te and urgently said, "Give me the car keys, quick!"
Pi Te froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that Ha Ruisi being a Knight, could run faster than him, so he quickly pulled out the car keys, urgently saying, "It's between the driver and the passenger seat..."
"Go get them! Jump out of the window, Pi Te's car is right below, a black Lincoln, hurry!" Before Pi Te could finish, Ha Ruisi handed the keys to a man in black suis.t
The man in black caught the keys and dashed toward the window.
Whoosh!
Opening the window, the man in a black suit jumped right down.
"Ah!" Pi Te was startled and screamed out, but the man had already jumped down!
"Ha Ruisi, you're insane! If he jumps down, won't he die? This is the sixth floor!" Pi Te turned and glared at Ha Ruisi in anger.
"It's okay, Pi Te, he will be fine!" Ha Ruisi, without time to explain to Pi Te, casually responded and turned his head toward Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, John, he..."
Glancing at John's monitor, Ha Ruisi's eyes moistened, his face full of hope as he looked at Jiang Chen.
"He can still be saved now!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.
"Bullshit! You're just a fraud!"
Tom Sen's expression became stern, and he vociferously shouted out, "John is already dead, what else do you want to do? Do you want to desecrate his body? You bastard! Do you want John to not rest in peace even in death? If you are angry, direct it at me, don't desecrate John's body!"
Mai Lisha's expression changed, and she stared intently at Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, John, can John really still be saved?"
