What, did he just call me... old man?Feng's brow furrowed as he averted his gaze, his jaw tightening.He was just eighty-three years old. Yet stronger than his grandmother had ever been at sixty-nine, stronger than most men half his age. The muscles beneath his tailored suit still rippled with power when he moved, his reflexes still sharp, his mind still ruthless.So how exactly was he old? Because he wasn't ready to hurt him yet, he thought he was an old man who only talked? This boy didn't know him!Feng's eyes darted back to meet Edward's. He wanted to make him feel threatened, intimidated... in fact, anything that would make him never dare speak to him like that again.But the eyes he met made his heart hammer.Edward's gaze had gone cold. His chin was lifted, his posture rigid. If not for those eyes, those sharp, white eyes, Feng would have mistaken him for a marble statue propped against the marble walls of the elevator lobby.The young man's suit jacket hung carelessly over on

Somewhere close to Zhenyu Hospital, a man stood beside his car, his eyes piercing into the hospital building. His red eyes were hidden beneath dark sunglasses. He hissed, pulled out a cigarette, lit the tip, and drew smoke deep into his lungs.He inhaled for a few moments, savoring the sweet sensation that flooded his chest before exhaling like he was gasping for breath, as if the cigarette had just given him the ability to breathe.He wants to replace him? After everything he had done? After all these years?He had been there when that man was still struggling to set up his company. He was there, he had watched men rise and fall, and there had never been a single day he thought of betraying him.That man was his college friend. They had both dropped out of school when their parents died suddenly. They stayed together like brothers. He helped him. And now, because he chose to be the one doing his dirty work while that man grew wealthy, he thought he was above him?Whatever that man

The man's face twist in a painful grimace, but his lips remained pressed together, his jaw set in defiance even in the pain."Come take him!" Jason's command echoed in the room.The door flew open. Men in black suits poured into the room..Two of them hoisted the injured man to his feet, his body sagging between them."Let's not traumatize the young lady further." Jason tilted his head toward Adriana, his expression softening for just a moment. "Take him to the parking lot."The men understood. They dragged the man, his feet scraping across the tiles and out of the room.Marcus reappeared in the doorway, his face relaxing slightly. "She's fine. I think you were the target, Adriana."Adriana's sharp intake of breath was the only sound in the room.Edward's eyes met Marcus's. A silent conversation passed between them"Look after her." Edward's gaze lingered on Adriana's face for a moment before he turned and strode toward the door.The private suite's hallway was lined with men in black

Everyone exchanged glances, the weight of realization settling over them. The fake nurse had used the real nurse's pass to enter the private suite.Police sirens wailed in the distance, growing louder until a van pulled into the hospital driveway, followed closely by an ambulance.Officers spilled out, photographing the scene while their leader pulled Jason aside. Jason began explaining what had happened, his hands moving as he spoke.Then another police van screeched to a halt. DIG Tank stepped out with several men."Welcome, sir. We're already on it," the first team's leader greeted, moving toward his superior. He had no idea how DIG Tank had learned of the incident, the man rarely left his desk unless something extraordinary demanded his presence. But he dared not ask. He simply began explaining the situation as Tank drew closer."Did the man say anything before he was shot?" DIG Tank asked immediately, cutting through the explanation.News does fly quickly, the leader muttered und

Edward pushed the ward door open. He had driven to the hospital after the call with jason.Jason stood near the window, Marcus beside Adriana's bed. The three of them turned as Edward entered."The fake nurse was just a normal guy? No history of violence?" Edward asked, he wanted to be sure he heard what Jason said correctly.Jason nodded. "Yes.""He has never been seen with Caleb?" Edward asked but Jason shook his head to answer no.Edward ran his hand through his hair, tugging at the roots. "That doesn't mean what we all witnessed didn't happen.""They picked him so he could be easily discarded. No trail back to them." Jason said, his voice calm."Calculated." Edward paced towards Adriana's bed. "They calculated well." His hand dropped from his hair, and he stared at the floor. Everything was hitting rock bottom, and he could feel more coming.Adriana's voice came small, stuttering slightly "This case can still go on?"Marcus squeezed her cold hand until warmth returned to her fing
