Almost immediately, Lu Changcheng turned around and swung his cane at Yan Heqing.
Lu Changcheng moved very quickly. A blur flashed before Yan Heqing's eyes, and before he could react, Lu Lin pulled him into his arms.
A solid sound rang out as the wooden cane struck Lu Lin on the back.
The sudden turn of events caused the butler and the caregiver to gasp in shock, and Yan Heqing's pupils dilated. He raised his hand to check Lu Lin's injuries, but Lu Lin reassured him by squeezing his hand to show that he was alright before turning back to look at Lu Changcheng.
Lu Changcheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his face had lost all color, turning a pale, bluish-purple. He wished that it was Yan Heqing lying in the operating room right now.
Lu Changcheng flew into a rage, shouting, "It was his father who hit Xiao Chi!" He yelled, "If anything happens to Xiao Chi, no one will get away with it!"
Lu Lin said in a deep voice, "He is him, and his adoptive father is his adoptive father."
"No difference, they're family!" Lu Han gritted his teeth. "If he hadn't been two-timing, would his father have—"
Lu Lin's eyes turned icy cold instantly. He looked at Lu Han, and Lu Han's words were cut off.
"Now he and I are family," Lu Lin said calmly. "If there are any problems, come to me."
Lu Han immediately looked at Lu Changcheng Lu Changcheng, whose blood pressure soared with anger. He was breathing rapidly, feeling so dizzy he could barely stand. His lips twitched several times before he managed to utter, "You're going to stand up to me for him?"
Yan Heqing suddenly spoke up, " Old Mr. Lu, you've investigated me, so you should know very well that I severed ties with Mr. and Mrs. Yan Shengbing last year."
Lu Changcheng gripped his cane tightly. He did know this, and he also knew that Yan Shengbing's family had been abusing Yan Heqing for many years.
The nerves around his mouth twitched violently. "So what? Even if we sever ties, he's still your father!"
Yan Heqing glanced at Lu Lin before speaking. " Yan Shengbing and I are only adopted, while you and Lu Lin are related by blood. You even consider his Lu to be different from yours. How can Yan Shengbing still be my father?"
Lu Changcheng was speechless.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Yan Heqing and Yan Shengbing's family have indeed broken ties. Yan Shengbing is a gambling addict and alcoholic who always beats and scolds Yan Heqing and has no feelings for him. It is impossible for him to stand up for him.
Secondly, regarding the relationship between Yan Heqing and Lu Muchi, it should be Lu Muchi goes crazy.
At this point, Yan Heqing said again, "If you still don't believe me, you can take me to confront Yan Shengbing."
Lu Han interjected, "He's dead, how can we confront him?"
Lu Han gritted his teeth in anger, "Don't try to deny it was an accident! What a coincidence! Of all the people he hit, he didn't hit anyone, but he specifically hit my son! He clearly did it on purpose to hit Xiao Chi!"
Yan Heqing was trying to get information out of him.
As previously stated, the original plot will unfold as expected. In the original story, he died in a car accident, and this time, as predicted, another person died— Yan Shengbing.
However, there is one difference.
In the original text, Yan Shengbing suffered minor injuries, but this time Lu Muchi was taken to the emergency room.
But it doesn't matter which of them dies.
Ultimately, the outcome will lead to Cheng Jian and Zhao Weifang.
Yan Heqing remained calm and composed. "I don't think it's an accident. As far as I know, Yan Shengbing owes money to loan sharks. He's a gambler and has already borrowed from all his relatives and friends. No one will lend him money anymore."
He stopped there, and Lu Han didn't follow suit. Lu Changcheng, however, was shocked. He had no money, and was even in debt to loan sharks—how could a car have hit Lu Muchi?
Lu Changcheng said sternly, "What do you know?"
"A while ago, Yan Shengbing threatened me for 5 million yuan. I didn't agree, and he didn't keep bothering me." Yan Heqing met Lu Changcheng's scrutinizing gaze frankly. "If you were in debt to loan sharks, and my only threat was you, would you give up on me?"
Lu Changcheng, of course, wouldn't; his eyes darkened.
"But you've abandoned me," Yan Heqing continued, "You don't need this money anymore?"
Lu Changcheng gripped his cane tightly. "You said someone gave him 5 million?"
Yan Heqing remained noncommittal. " Yan Shengbing is dead, but his family is still alive. With your investigative skills, I don't think it will be difficult for you to find out the truth."
Knowing he was being sarcastic, Lu Changcheng couldn't care less. Admittedly, this matter was inextricably linked to Yan Heqing, but he wouldn't let anyone who dared to harm his grandson get away with it!
Lu Changcheng already has someone he suspects.
The Cheng Family, who have the financial means and also wish Lu Muchi dead.
Lu Changcheng glared at Yan Heqing, then called Lu Han over and whispered a few words. Lu Han, dissatisfied that Lu Changcheng was letting Yan Heqing and Lu Lin off so easily, said, "Dad, this is all on his side—"
"Hurry!" Lu Changcheng had also weathered many storms and knew that the Cheng Family was currently busy destroying evidence. They were already several hours too late and had to find Zhao Huilin immediately.
Lu Han went to the fire escape staircase to make a phone call.
After Lu Han left, Lu Changcheng ignored Lu Lin and Yan Heqing and went back to guard the operating room.
At that moment, the operating room door opened.
The doctor came out, and the several-hour emergency rescue was over.
Lu Changcheng disregarded everything else and rushed forward, his voice trembling as he spoke, " Director Yang, I... I..." His cane fell to the ground, and he even pleaded as he grabbed the doctor's hand, "Is my grandson alright?"
Director Yang removed her mask, meeting Lu Changcheng's gaze. She sighed softly, "His life was saved, but—" She closed her eyes, "We did our best, but he's a paraplegic..."
"Dad!" Lu Han finished his phone call and came back to find Lu Changcheng collapsed on the ground.
Lu Changcheng collapsed to the ground, his eyes closed and motionless. The corridor quickly became crowded as medical staff hurriedly pushed Lu Changcheng toward the elevator to another floor for emergency treatment in the operating room.
The housekeeper and caregiver followed him into the elevator. Lu Han took a few steps after them and then looked back at the operating room. A nurse pushed Lu Muchi, who had just finished surgery, out of the operating room.
Needing help from both sides, Lu Han's head was about to explode. Aside from the time with Xu Qiaoyin, he had always obeyed Lu Changcheng in everything since childhood and was completely indecisive when faced with problems. He covered his head, which was throbbing badly. After standing there for a while, he couldn't take it anymore and had to go to Lu Lin. " A-Lin, what do we do now?"
Lu Lin said calmly, "You go ahead first, I'll arrange for your son to contact you."
