Under the urging of Lin Guotai, Cheng Bo drove almost recklessly, running several red lights before finally reaching home. The car had not yet come to a complete stop when a middle-aged man in his late forties rushed out and hurriedly entered the villa.
This man was Lin Guotai, the chairman of Lin Group and the new richest man in Donglin City. Last year, the Donglin City Wealth Rankings propelled him to the top, making this nearly fifty-year-old, who had been battling in the business world for over thirty years, officially a legend of the business community.
Starting from scratch, and in just over thirty years, he had become a business magnate in Donglin City and even in the entire Hua Country, an achievement that sculpted Lin Guotai into a figure resembling a legendary hero.
In Donglin City, there were probably very few people who did not know the name Lin Guotai.
At this moment, Lin Guotai's face displayed a measure of anxiety, and his resolute features also showed signs of rare distress. He hurried along and soon arrived in front of Lin Feifei's room. Lin Guotai stepped in but suddenly stopped.
His eyes, almost instinctively, narrowed slightly in surprise as he looked towards the bed where a man and a woman were tightly embraced, apparently asleep. Clearly, they were Tangyu and Lin Feifei.
Seeing his precious daughter so intimately cuddled up in sleep with a man, Lin Guotai's eyes involuntarily twitched, his heart filled with an indescribable sensation. It was as if he saw his daughter being bullied.
If he had not been aware of certain reasons, fully understanding that Tangyu had no ill intentions towards his precious daughter, Lin Guotai could never accept this scenario.
"Ah, what is this—" Cheng Bo, who had followed up, also couldn't help but let out a strange cry when he saw this scene.
The strange cry from Cheng Bo also woke Lin Feifei from her sleep. Lin Feifei opened her eyes, her consciousness returning, and then she suddenly realized she was being tightly held by someone—and that person was Tangyu, whom she had been wary of these past two days. What Lin Feifei found even more unacceptable was that she was also tightly embracing him.
The posture was indescribably ambiguous. Lin Feifei could even feel something hard pressing against her. All of this made Lin Feifei's face instantly turn as red as a ripe apple. A scream like thunder broke the tranquility of the entire villa. Lin Feifei desperately pushed Tangyu, kicking and flailing wildly.
At that moment, the only thought in Lin Feifei's mind was: "My purity has been tarnished by Tangyu in such an unclear and confusing manner."
Roused by the scream and the kicking and punching, Tangyu also woke up and realized something was amiss. He couldn't help but shiver and quickly got out of the bed and stood up.
Thinking back, he recalled that he had transferred too much Pure Yang Power into Lin Feifei's body to suppress her Pure Yin Qi. This had exhausted him so much that he had collapsed from weakness and fallen asleep. Heaven as witness, Tangyu truly did not know how he ended up sleeping so tightly embraced with Lin Feifei.
At most, he had just been having a dream that everyone occasionally has. And the person he dreamt about wasn't even Lin Feifei.
Seeing this situation, Lin Guotai immediately came over and stopped Lin Feifei, who then quieted down a bit.
Tangyu looked at Uncle Lin and then at Cheng Bo, who was giving him a strange look, his face inevitably showing a hint of embarrassment. This situation was truly making Tangyu's face feel burning hot.
"You brute, you vile lowlife, how could you—how could you—" Lin Feifei glared furiously at Tangyu, scolding him before she threw herself into Lin Guotai's arms, her face filled with grievance. Lin Guotai stood there with a somewhat stern expression, a fleeting light flashing through his inscrutable eyes.
Tangyu scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Miss Lin, please don't be angry, things are not what you think, there might have been some misunderstanding. Just now, I was using Pure Yang Qi to suppress the Yin Ghost Qi outbreak, your outbreak this time was too severe, so I exhausted all my Pure Yang Power to suppress the Yin Ghost Qi. Just then, I was so drained that I fell asleep on the spot. I don't know why it ended up like that with you. I swear on my honor, it was unintentional, I really didn't know."
"Of course, you would say that after getting your way," Lin Feifei said, too angry to listen to reason.
Lin Guotai suddenly spoke, "Enough, Feifei, don't be unreasonable. If Tangyu says it was unintentional, then it surely was. He saved you, yet instead of being grateful, you respond with such harsh words. Hurry, apologize to Tangyu."
"I won't. No matter what, he took advantage of me," Lin Feifei said, struggling to accept what had happened, as it was her first time experiencing such an incident.
Tangyu said, "Uncle Lin, let it be, I indeed offended Miss Lin earlier, and I should be the one apologizing."
Lin Guotai looked at Tangyu and said, "How can this be your fault, Tangyu? Feifei has been spoiled by us, she's too delicate. Ah, I really am ashamed as a father. Tangyu, how is Feifei's condition really?"
A somber expression crossed Tangyu's face as he said, "Uncle Lin, to be honest, Miss Lin's condition is very critical. It was only with great effort that I managed to suppress the Yin Ghost Qi inside her. Should it happen again, I fear I might be powerless. The severity of Miss Lin's episodes might surpass my expectations. And this episode—it's also a sign of a major catastrophe. According to my calculations, there might be only two months left. So—"
Truth be told, while Lin Feifei did carry some of the airs of a spoiled rich girl, she wasn't too difficult to speak with. However, in this regard, she was very conservative. At this moment, although Lin Feifei had calmed down somewhat, her expression was still cold.
Such a great beauty—if it all just ended like this, it would truly be a pity.
Tangyu internally shook his head before continuing, "If we don't take immediate action and start coordinated treatment, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lin Guotai's face showed a great deal of emotion, his eyes flashing sharply as he looked at Lin Feifei.
Lin Feifei also looked at Lin Guotai, seeing the love in his eyes made her feel a wave of sadness. Death, no one wants it.
"Dad, don't listen to his scaremongering, I don't believe I'll really die," Lin Feifei said, biting down on her lip.
A rare seriousness appeared on Lin Guotai's face as he said, "Feifei, at a time like this, you must not be foolish. You and I both know the nature of your illness very well. Over the years, we have consulted every renowned doctor in the world, and all said there was no cure. All these years, you have been tormented and troubled by this illness, and you have already suffered enough. It's dad's fault for not taking good care of you. Tangyu is a Divine Doctor, whom I went through great troubles to have brought from Ghost Doctor Valley, and you've seen his capabilities to cure you. Feifei, can you really be so cruel as to leave your father all alone?"
In Lin Guotai's typically sharp gaze, a trace of tears emerged. His resolute face also aged a bit.
