Chapter 8: Launch a punitive expedition.
“You mean, Lin Fan’s mother?”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Youwei’s eyes widened, and her heart pounded violently.
That’s right. Back at the Suxin Clinic, when she was offering incense to Lin Fan’s deceased mother, she had noticed the name on the memorial tablet.
Mrs. Xue’s reminder brought it all flooding back.
“I just don’t know if it’s a case of having the same name ... Besides, even if it is her, she’s ... she’s already passed away.” Mrs. Xue shook her head sorrowfully and said no more.
Yuan Youwei’s vision went black. She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stay focused, and roared at the subordinates by the door, “Have you found Lin Fan’s file? Give it to me, now!”
She absolutely could not give up. Even if there was the slightest chance, she had to fight for the Old Master!
“Second Miss, I’ve found Mr. Lin Fan’s preliminary file. It’ll take more time to gather more detailed information.” A subordinate hurried over and handed a tablet to Yuan Youwei.
“Taozi, look! Is this the Lin Suxin you were talking about?” The screen displayed Lin Fan’s basic personal information and his family members. Yuan Youwei immediately pointed to the portrait of Lin Fan’s mother and demanded of the baffled Yuan Tao.
“Hiss ... It-it really is Doctor Lin!” Yuan Tao stared at the screen, his mouth agape in shock. “Second Sister, how did you find Doctor Lin? You’re incredible!”
The realization hit Yuan Youwei like a thunderclap.
So, Lin Fan is the son of the divine doctor? No wonder his medical skills are also extraordinary. It must be a family inheritance ... Perhaps this is fate’s design. Tonight, Lin Fan not only saved me, but he might just be able to save the Old Master too!
“Alright! Bring Grandfather and follow me!” Yuan Youwei shot to her feet, her eyes filled with determination.
At her words, the room fell silent for a moment before erupting into an uproar.
What kind of joke is this? The Old Master has been dead for some time; his body is almost completely cold. And she wants to take him out now? Even the Daluo Golden Immortal would be powerless to change this!
“Yuan Youwei, what are you doing?”
“Youwei, we understand you and the Old Master were close, but you can’t be this reckless!”
“Miss, even if Lin Fan is the son of the divine doctor, he might not have his mother’s abilities!”
The members of the Yuan family looked horrified as they all started talking at once. Even Mrs. Xue wore an anxious expression, desperately trying to catch Yuan Youwei’s eye.
“What a monumental joke! I, Jiang Wanqiu, will make my stance clear right here and now! There is no one in this world who can bring a dead person back to life!” Doctor Jiang sneered, looking at Yuan Youwei as if she were an idiot.
“I, Yuan Youwei, will bear all the consequences alone,” she declared, gritting her teeth and taking a deep breath as she faced the crowd’s varied expressions. “If anything goes wrong, I will willingly leave the Yuan family and give up my status as the heir!”
As she finished speaking, the expression on everyone’s face changed dramatically.
She’s ... she’s gambling her own future on this!
“Miss, a man like Lin Fan isn’t worth you taking such a huge risk!” Mrs. Xue stomped her foot in anxiety, trying desperately to persuade her. “That scoundrel only cares about money! He’s even after the White Dragon Grass! He’s not a good person!”
“Right, the money ... Everyone, give me all the cash you have on you! I want it all!” Yuan Youwei snapped to attention and shouted another command.
Ignoring everyone’s repeated attempts to stop her, she directed the others to carefully carry the Old Master into the car before rushing off toward the Suxin Clinic.
“Heh, I’d like to see for myself who possesses such heaven-defying medical skills that they can bring the Old Master back from the dead,” Doctor Jiang sneered before getting into his own car to follow them.
「Meanwhile.」
In the brightly lit Su family villa in the city’s east.
In the bedroom, Su Mengqing, who had fainted from anger, finally fluttered her eyes open.
“Lin Fan ... has Lin Fan come back?” she asked in a hoarse, dry voice, looking at Su Gang and the others gathered around her bed.
