Bai Zhengchu's abdomen looked seriously injured and bled a lot, but the true fatal wound was the penetrating chest injury caused by a rusty piece of steel rebar. The dark red blood he coughed up indicated internal bleeding.

Lin Tian shook his head silently and continued to stop the bleeding for Ghost's master. Although Ghost's master seemed badly wounded, it was mostly superficial injuries, and as long as no internal organs were damaged, his life wasn't in danger. Besides, being a cultivator of the Ancient Yoga Skill, his vitality was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

After treating the wounds, Lin Tian said, "Ghost, your master is temporarily okay." Ghost sighed with relief after hearing this.

Lin Tian then asked Miss, "Where are Charlotte and those ninjas? What happened when we were buried?"

Miss pointed behind the abandoned factory and said, "The ninjas and Charlotte fought over a USB and have gone to the back."

Lin Tian's voice startled Bai Yuze, who froze in fear. Bai Yuze scrambled over to Lin Tian, crying bitterly as he said, "Lin Tian, I know your medical skills are superb. Please save my grandpa, I'm begging you..."

The Xiao sisters and Ghost's group all looked at Lin Tian. In fact, they all felt that Bai Zhengchu deserved what he got, having brought this upon himself, and even if Lin Tian chose not to save him, they wouldn't find it inappropriate.

However, Lin Tian still walked over. He had never admitted to being a licensed doctor, but since he had learned medical skills, he had to honor them. The invention of medicine has always had one purpose: to treat and save people, regardless of whether they are criminals or good people.

Lin Tian crouched down and symbolically checked Bai Zhengchu's pulse, though he was actually observing his internal injuries with the Eye of Clarity. Bai Zhengchu's face grew complicated as he watched Lin Tian help him despite their past grievances.

With great difficulty, he said, "Lin Tian, the worst mistake of my life was becoming your enemy..."

Before he could finish, more blood overflowed from his mouth. Lin Tian frowned, shook his head, and sighed, "If you have any last words, say them quickly. There's not much time left."

Through his examination, Lin Tian saw that the rusty rebar not only punctured Bai Zhengchu's lung but also ruptured his aorta, and the massive internal bleeding would soon take his life. Even the world's best surgeon couldn't save him because it was too late.

Of course, Lin Tian had one way to save him, which was to bite Bai Zhengchu into a zombie. As long as Bai Zhengchu still had a breath left, any internal injury would be resolved after becoming a zombie.

But Lin Tian wouldn't do that. If this secret spilled out, he didn't know what consequences it might trigger. Besides, Bai Zhengchu might not want to become a zombie, so why do something that wouldn't be appreciated?

Bai Yuze's face grew even paler when he heard Lin Tian couldn't treat him. But soon it turned fierce, and he viciously said to Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, you're not saving my grandpa because we have a vendetta, aren't you? That's it! You're despicable and shameless! You're not fit to be a doctor!"

Lin Tian, demonstrating his professionalism, simply diagnosed Bai Zhengchu and received such curses in return. Truly, a mad dog is a mad dog; it won't stop biting just because you helped it.

"Yuze, stop wasting your breath. I know my situation very well. Not even a Daluo Golden Immortal descending could save me now..." Bai Zhengchu said with difficulty, spilling more blood with each word.

"Our Bai Family is finished, ruined by my hands. I have no face to meet the Bai Family ancestors. I hate it…" he lamented.

"Yuze, listen to me. If you survive today's disaster, find your father and younger brother, start fresh, and don't think about revenge. You'll never be Lin Tian's match... Don't extinguish the last bit of hope for the Bai Family!" Bai Zhengchu spoke intermittently, conveying his last wishes.

Bai Yuze could only nod continuously, unable to say or do anything else.

"One wrong step leads to a lifetime of regret. Looking back, decades have passed, and I hate it..." Bai Zhengchu's eyes suddenly lit up unusually as he shouted, as if completely revived.

But Lin Tian knew, this was Bai Zhengchu's last flash of vitality, rapidly declining after the shout. Finally, he stared, motionless, with no more breathing or heartbeat.

Such a character, even in ancient times, would be a hero. But at this moment, the hero's life finally reached its end. A lifetime of glory faded, leaving only empty regrets.

Did he regret destroying the Bai Family with his own hands? Did he regret having no face to meet his ancestors? Only he knew.

"What a pity. With ambition still alive, the man has aged; his great aspirations unfulfilled, his life now gone. Everything has dissipated like smoke." Ghost's master sighed softly.

"Master, you're injured. Speak less," Ghost advised with a frown, unwilling to see his master troubled over the Bai Family's downfall.

Old Man Ba looked at his disciple but shook his head and said, "Do you think it's safe now? That Charlotte is more terrifying than you can imagine. Whether we leave alive today is still uncertain."

Ghost glanced at Lin Tian before saying, "Why does Master say that? With so many of us, even if she's a vampire, she won't have the advantage."

Old Man Ba shook his head and continued, "With life and death uncertain today, I must tell you a secret about yourself, or I may never get the chance."

"What secret could I possibly have? From childhood to now, I've been in your place. What secret wouldn't I know?" Ghost said, puzzled.

"About your lineage..." Old Man Ba paused to catch his breath and said.

Ghost and Lin Tian were both stunned. Lin Tian had heard about Ghost's background, that he became an orphan after his family was killed, and Old Man Ba found and raised him. That's the version Lin Tian had heard from Ghost's own mouth. Could there be another version?

Old Man Ba didn't wait long and continued, "I did find you, that's true. The destruction of your family was real too. But they weren't your biological parents. I learned this secret after saving you and returning to your home, where your parents—your adoptive parents—told me on their deathbeds."

Caught off guard, Ghost naturally didn't believe it. He frowned and said, "You say they weren't my biological parents. Then who are my biological parents? How did I become their adopted son?"

Lin Tian also found it strange. If Ghost was just an adopted son, who were his biological parents, and how did he end up in Myanmar?

"Your adoptive parents found you in Huaxia when you were still an infant, with no name, no date of birth. They took you to Myanmar and raised you as their own son, never telling you this secret."

"They instructed me on their deathbeds to tell you this secret at an appropriate time and for you to return to Huaxia to find your biological parents, to return to your roots." Old Man Ba said with emotion.
