"Grandma is right, I won't kowtow anymore!" Lin Haitao put away the red wine. At the same time, he walked to the old lady's side, grabbed her sleeve, and said with a smile, "Haitao has always listened to Grandma. No matter what Grandma says, I will obey."
"Grandma knows you are obedient!" Old Mrs. Lin said happily, "Your father must have told you that your uncle blocked your ambition to become the company's vice president. Don't blame Grandma. After all, the Lin family was built by your uncle, and its achievements today are also thanks to him."
"Don't worry, Grandma, I won't blame Uncle!" Lin Haitao nodded. "Uncle has his own biological daughter, so he should prioritize his daughter. Regardless, the Lin family was built by Uncle!"
"It's great that you can think that way!" Old Mrs. Lin nodded. "I thought you were unhappy. Actually, Grandma has always been on your side. No matter what, you are the true legitimate grandson of the Lin family, and no one can replace your position!"
"I'm relieved to hear Grandma say that!" Lin Haitao nodded. "But if sister Lin Ke comes back, do I need to vacate my room? After all, it's the room for the future helmsman of the Lin family."
"It's not urgent yet. Besides, you are also the legitimate son and grandson of my Lin family. What's wrong with living there!" Old Mrs. Lin waved her hand. "Even if we take in a son-in-law, it won't shake your status."
"Grandma, this is not good!" Lin Haitao shook his head. "I'd better move out. This way, it can reduce a lot of conflicts, and Grandma won't have to worry too much."
Old Mrs. Lin was very excited. Lin Haitao's words made her very satisfied. Family harmony was the most important thing. For so many years, Lin Guoli and Lin Aotian had been secretly competing, and she had seen it all. If the younger generation could maintain good relations, it would also be a blessing for their Lin family.
However, at this moment, Lin Guoli walked in angrily from outside, looking at Lin Haitao. "Come with me!"
"What happened!" Old Mrs. Lin asked in surprise. "You look so angry!"
"There was a small incident at the company!" Lin Guoli said with a smile. "Mom, you don't need to worry too much. I'll have Haitao handle it!"
Lin Haitao said nothing more and walked towards Lin Guoli's study.
As soon as he entered the study, Lin Guoli closed the door and slapped Lin Haitao across the face. "You are tired of living, daring to do such a thing!"
"Dad, what are you doing!" Lin Haitao said indignantly. "What did I do to make you like this?"
"Don't think I don't know. You sent someone to deal with Lin Ke." Lin Guoli said coldly. "If Lin Ke has an accident, how can you escape responsibility!"
"Dad, your news is quite fast!" Lin Haitao straightened his collar. "It was indeed me, but so what? If Uncle wants to blame me, he'll have to present evidence."
"Just as Lin Ke had an accident, your uncle called and questioned me at the same time." Lin Guoli said coldly. "How could someone as shrewd as your uncle not know it was you!"
"Everything requires evidence!" Lin Haitao shrugged. "I do things flawlessly. Moreover, Lin Ke won't survive. Only my branch of the Lin family exists. Even if it's proven in the end, Grandma will never let Uncle touch me!"
"Foolish, you are too foolish!" Lin Guoli shook his head. "For your own selfish desires, you can harm your own kin!"
"Dad, don't forget, if we can't inherit the Lin family property, we might be kicked out." Lin Haitao said bluntly. "You and Uncle are brothers. You can't do it, but I can't be soft-hearted. After all, no matter what, I have to consider my future!"
Slap!
Lin Guoli slapped him again. "How did I give birth to such a beast!"
Although he usually didn't get along with Lin Aotian, they were blood relatives. He would never do such a thing, but he never expected Lin Haitao to be so ruthless.
"If your uncle gets a handle on this, he will never let us off easily!" Lin Guoli said directly. "You need to think clearly!"
"Impossible!" Lin Haitao waved his hand. "The two people I sent should have left Jiangbei by now, and they won't return. No one can find them!"
"You are too blind!" Lin Guoli shook his head. "I have silenced the two people you sent. Only dead men won't spill secrets!"
"This..." Lin Haitao was shocked. "How is this possible."
"Although I'm not as capable as your uncle, I'm still influential in Jiangbei. When your uncle called me, I had already sent people to investigate, and their whereabouts were quickly discovered!" Lin Guoli said coldly. "This matter ends here. Regardless of whether Lin Ke is alright, if you dare to make such a mistake again, I will never forgive you."
Lin Haitao nodded repeatedly, not knowing what else to say, but he was quite impressed by Lin Guoli's methods.
Meanwhile, at a hospital in Jiangbei, Lin Ke was rushed into the emergency room. Her condition appeared critical, and she was completely disoriented.
Lin Aotian was blocked outside the operating room door, repeatedly hitting the wall. "It's Dad's fault, Dad didn't protect you well!"
At this moment, outside the lakeside courtyard, Lu Fan had just gotten out of the car when he saw Granny Guihua standing by the door, gazing into the distance even in the biting cold wind.
"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, you're here!" Granny Guihua hurried to say, "Xiao Ke is in trouble, quickly take me to find him!"
"Grandma, what's wrong!" Lu Fan frowned. "What did Xiao Ke do?"
"She was hit by a car, and then her father took her away!" Granny Guihua said urgently.
Lu Fan's expression changed. After contacting Lin Aotian, he rushed to the Jiangbei Hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Lin Aotian covering his head with his hands, waiting quietly in a corner.
"What exactly happened?" Lu Fan asked with anger. "Why did it become like this!"
"I didn't protect him well!" Lin Aotian said dejectedly. "It's all my fault."
As soon as he finished speaking, the operating room door opened, and a doctor came out.
"How is she? How is my daughter!" Lin Aotian quickly asked.
"She suffered too much impact, and we might not be able to save her." The doctor shook his head. "Prepare for the funeral."
"How could this happen? How could this happen!" Lin Aotian took several steps back. He had been looking for Lin Ke for more than ten years, but he never expected that Lin Ke's arrival would be the end of her life. If this was the case, he would rather Lin Ke had never come to Jiangbei, or even not recognized him. At least then Lin Ke would be safe and sound.
"I need to go in!" Lu Fan's voice was cold.
"This is the resuscitation room. Even if the patient is gone, you can't go in!" The doctor shook his head. "This is hospital policy."
