Inside the room, twelve people knelt in front of Su Wanjing's father.

These people, in the outside world, were always respected and waited upon.

But in front of Su Wanjing's father, they were silent as cicadas in winter, their clothes soaked with cold sweat, not daring to take a deep breath.

"Big brother, I'm so glad that you're alright," Su Wanjing's second uncle said with an excited expression while kneeling on the ground.

Su Wanjing's father was sitting in front of the twelve people, exuding an aura of effortless authority.

"Second brother, it was all thanks to your medicine," Su Wanjing's father said with profound meaning.

Su Laoer was taken aback, and managed to squeeze out an unnatural smile, shamelessly replying, "It's my duty as a junior brother, and it's my honor to alleviate big brother's worries."

"You say this is what you should do?" The words of Su Wanjing's father were enigmatic.

"Yes, it's indeed my duty," Su Laoer said eagerly, trying to please.

If Su Wanjing's father was still sickly at this moment, he would never grovel like this, but now he was certain that his cunning and powerful big brother had fully recovered.

In front of Su Wanjing's father, Su Laoer could only act more subservient than a grandson.

For many of the Su Family's major powers, networks, and strength established over the years by their father were beyond his ability to contend with.

"Well said, 'as you should'," Master Su uttered a long laugh, taking in a deep breath, closing his eyes and quieting down, his presence suddenly gave everyone a sense of overwhelming oppression, making their hearts tighten.

Just then, Lin Hai slowly closed the door, his movement catching the attention of the twelve people kneeling inside.

Su Laoer's pupils tightened as he suddenly pointed at Lin Hai, saying harshly, "Big brother, this is the man who made a scene at the Su Family home and even killed many people; you must not let him off."

Lin Hai was undisturbed, holding a beauty in his arms, gently inhaling her fragrance.

"Shut up, who gave you the right to dictate what I should do?" Master Su's voice was filled with unparalleled authority.

Su Laoer swallowed hard, hanging his head low, not daring to make a sound.

"Hmph, useless trash."

Having said that, Master Su's gaze suddenly burst with sharp light, directly aiming at one of the twelve people in front of him—a fat man.

The fat man felt as if the piercing gaze was like a knife hanging over his head, and sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

"Su Sefu, after I fell ill some days ago, you moved two hundred million in funds from three of the Su Family's companies for your own use. Explain yourself."

The fat man's complexion turned extremely ugly, panic-stricken in his eyes. He never expected that his big brother, who seemed on the brink of death, would come back to life, now sitting calmly in front of him.

With a thud, the fat man kowtowed, crying out, "Big brother, please spare me this time, for the sake of our blood relationship, please let your little brother go."

This fat man, addressed as Master Su by many on the outside, now appeared more wretched than a stray dog.

However, Su Wanjing's father paid no further attention to the fat man, scanning the others.

Each of them bowed their heads, not daring to meet that seemingly calm but razor-sharp gaze.

"Su Conglong, you have recently colluded with outsiders and transferred two of the Su Family's companies. Explain yourself."

With a thud, a scrawny middle-aged man quickly kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Su Wanli, twelve of the Su Family's villas suddenly changed hands, and you have been in charge of real estate. Explain yourself!"

Once again, with a thud, a middle-aged man with an unsightly expression followed suit in kowtowing.

"Real estate, finance, the business community, investment firms, including record companies and over twenty other industries of various sizes under the Su Group, have all been tampered with recently. Gentlemen, give me a reasonable explanation, or you won't need to see tonight's moon again. I, Su Zhentian, will personally escort you on your way."

After saying these words, Su Wanjing's father closed his eyes to rest.

"Big brother, give us one more chance, please, on account of us all being brothers and family," pleaded Su Wanli, his voice breaking in desperation.

Su Zhentian remained unmoved, his eyes still narrowed.

After a long while, Su Conglong looked towards Su Laoer, exchanged glances with a few others, nodded his head, gritted his teeth, and suddenly spoke out: "Big brother, all of this was Second brother's idea. He said you were no longer capable, and threatened us to do this, otherwise, he would swallow up all of our shares. We had no choice, big brother."

"Bullshit!" Su Laoer roared furiously, cursing loudly.

"Bullshit? Second brother, what did you say back then? You said that after swallowing these family assets, once you become the Family Head, you would still look after us. Now that big brother has recovered, you dare not admit to these words?" Su Wanli also threw caution to the wind as he accused.

"Su Wanli, I swear I'll kill you later. How dare you slander me in front of big brother? I didn't know anything about your deeds from the start till the end!" Su Laoer angrily retorted.

"Enough," Su Zhentian finally spoke, silencing everyone once again. They all looked at him pleadingly, their eyes begging.

"Big brother, it really wasn't me who did this," Su Laoer said in panic, but his words lacked any conviction.

Su Zhentian looked at his own younger brother, and asked indifferently, "Second, whether you did it or not, I won't blame you. But how do you explain trying to poison me to death?"

Suddenly, Su Laoer's eyes bulged, his expression the picture of injustice: "Big brother, I didn't do it."

"You didn't? Then what are all those medicines you gave me?" Su Zhentian angrily demanded.

"Big brother, it's the Life Extending Pill and Heavenly Fragrance Grass, precious herbs in the Ancient Martial Family that are worth their weight in gold," Su Laoer explained.

Lin Hai slightly smiled at the corner of his mouth; the key point was coming.

Su Zhentian looked towards Lin Hai, his eyes softening, even showing a bit of how a father-in-law would look at his son-in-law, and kindly said, "Young friend, you speak."

Lin Hai nodded his head.

Everyone looked at Lin Hai in puzzlement, wondering, what is this guy going to say?

"Heavenly Fragrance Grass can energize and refresh the mind, revitalize vitality, and fortify one's spirits; it is indeed a fine medicine."

The crowd nodded in agreement, as they, being knowledgeable, knew some secrets, such as the real existence of an Ancient Martial Family, and the terrifying combat power of peerless masters, as well as some rare and nearly extinct herbs that could truly extend one's life and so on.

"The Life Extending Pill, the name is quite exaggerated, but the effect is rather ordinary. It's fair for treating internal and external injuries and is also a fine medicine," Lin Hai said again.

"Big brother, you heard it all, even this guy said those medicines are good, not poisonous," Su Laoer said.

Lin Hai smiled and said again, "Don't be hasty, let me finish."

"While the medicine is good, its aroma is quite distinctive. If you mix in the scent of soul-breaking grass, it turns three harmless medicines into a deadly slow-acting poison."

"You're talking nonsense!" Su Laoer hotly contested.

"Nonsense or not can be tested on you. I just so happen to know how to compound this poison as well. It's called Soul-breaking July Fragrance. I wonder if that's the right name?" Lin Hai smirked coldly.

Su Laoer's face turned ashen in an instant. He didn't expect that his secret actions could be known by an insider, and moreover, by someone so young.

"Second, do you have anything else to say?" Su Zhentian asked with a composed expression.

Su Laoer's face turned the color of ash; he knew he had met his match.

"Oh, and the Silver Angel necklace you're wearing around your neck, that must be connected to the Ancient Heavenly Path, right?"

"Ancient Heavenly Path? How do you know!" Su Laoer blurted out, suddenly realizing he had spoken more than he should have.
