In Hu Qinghai's mind, the scene from last night at his mansion suddenly reappeared.

In the middle of the night, in the villa, Hu Qinghai was wearing reading glasses, sitting at his desk, leafing through medical texts.

Just then, a cold wind swept in from the balcony connected to the bedroom.

And then, an old man draped in a black cloak appeared in his bedroom.

Hu Qinghai looked up at this black cloaked elder and said, "Senior Brother Wu, visiting so late at night, what can I do for you?"

"Kill someone for me," the black cloaked elder said in a low voice.

"Senior Brother Wu, I am a doctor, I only save lives, not take them. Besides, you're an elder of Hidden Kill, isn't it easy for you to have someone killed?" Hu Qinghai smiled faintly.

"If I could have killed this person, I wouldn't have come to you. If you agree, you can get one-tenth of Deng Group's shares, worth billions," the black cloaked elder said.

"Senior Brother Wu, are you joking with me?" Hu Qinghai was completely skeptical.

"Deng Fangzhen has been struck by Liang Yunhu's Heart-devouring Palm, and his condition is worsening. I've infiltrated the Deng family and learned that they'll invite you, Doctor King, to treat Deng Fangzhen tomorrow. You could use this opportunity to acquire one-tenth of the Deng family's shares," the black cloaked elder said.

"As long as you help me, when treating Deng Fangzhen, give him a drug that makes him lose his memory or even his intelligence, leading him to a slow death. Once I take over the Deng family, I will give you one-third of their assets."

"Senior Brother Wu, you want to swallow up the Deng family? Will you really give me that much after you have taken over?"

"Of course, it's true. You're my junior brother. Would I deceive you?"

...

After recalling, Hu Qinghai's gaze once again focused on Lin Fei's face, with a glint of hatred in his eyes.

It was because of this Lin Fei that his plan failed.

Besides his anger, he was surprised. How did Lin Fei know that Deng Fangzhen was struck by the Heart-devouring Palm?

Even more incredible, he directly removed the Heart-devouring Flame from Deng Fangzhen's heart with his palm. What kind of miraculous martial arts medical practice has this boy learned?

This method of saving and treating was unheard of, yet so superior, something even he, the Doctor King of Capital City, could not achieve.

At this moment, Deng Yuan also recovered from his shock. It can be said that in the Deng family, he was the only one who knew that Master Deng had been hit by the Heart-devouring Palm.

He never expected Lin Fei also knew about his father's condition and was able to remove the Heart-devouring Flame from his father's body.

No need for magical pills, no need for treatment, he directly removed the Heart-devouring Flame from his father's body with his hand.

This method is far more superior than Doctor Hu could ever be.

Because Doctor Hu had told him that even if his father could be cured, he might have memory loss or even reduced intelligence.

Thanks to Lin Fei's reminder, one-tenth of Deng Group's shares were not swindled by Hu Qinghai.

At this time, Deng Yuan was immensely grateful to Lin Fei.

Just then, Master Deng on the hospital bed suddenly let out a groan.

Madam Deng and Deng Ziyu's faces instantly showed joy as they quickly approached the bed.

"Dad, you're awake!"

"Grandpa..."

Deng Yuan's expression also relaxed.

However, Hu Qinghai's face couldn't hide his embarrassment. That kid really woke up Deng Fangzhen?

"Hui Fang, Ziyu, Han'er?" Deng Fangzhen opened his eyes, seeing his daughter-in-law and grandchildren, felt as if he had returned from the dead: "I thought I would never see you again."

"Dad, it was Young Master Li who healed your grievous Heart-devouring Palm injury." Deng Han stepped forward, smiling as he spoke to his father.

"Who is Young Master Li?" Deng Fangzhen slightly furrowed his brow as he asked Deng Yuan.

"Grandpa, Young Master Li is the one who saved me at the Wu family that night, Li Fei," Deng Ziyu reminded her grandfather.

Deng Fangzhen saw his granddaughter's sweet smile and quickly said, "I know now, it was him. I asked you to bring him home to meet me last time."

A faint blush appeared on Deng Ziyu's cheeks as she softly said, "So Grandpa still remembers."

"Of course I remember, quickly ask Young Master Li to come over, I want to thank him," Deng Fangzhen said to Deng Ziyu.

Deng Ziyu nodded, "I understand, Grandpa."

At this point, Deng Yuan saw that his father could recall things he said a few days ago, indicating that his father had not lost his memory nor suffered from cognitive decline.

He felt as if a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

Deng Ziyu turned around, about to have Lin Fei meet her grandfather, but then realized Lin Fei was nowhere in sight.

"Where did Lin Fei go?"

At this moment, Deng Yuan and his wife, Deng Han, and Chen Lin managed to realize that Lin Fei was no longer in the bedroom.

Not only had Lin Fei vanished, but Hu Qinghai and his bodyguard were also gone.

Chen Lin suddenly thought of something and said to Deng Yuan and his wife, "Lin Fei must have gone to chase after Hu Qinghai."

"I'll go find Lin Fei," Deng Ziyu said as she walked out.

"Uncle and Aunt, I'll also go look for Lin Fei," Chen Lin said to Deng Yuan and his wife, concerned for Deng Ziyu's safety.

Deng Yuan and his wife nodded to Chen Lin.

At this moment, Hu Qinghai, accompanied by his bodyguard, looked disheveled and hurriedly walked out of the Deng family villa estate gate.

He reached a secluded spot outside the villa estate, checked that no one was around, then took out his phone and made a call: "Senior Brother Wu, there's a change in the plan. Deng Fangzhen hasn't yet lost his memory nor become a fool; the Deng Group's shares were not acquired. I'll explain in detail when I return..."

But at that moment, Hu Qinghai froze because he saw Lin Fei standing a few steps in front of him.

Hu Qinghai's eyes immediately ignited with anger as he said into the phone, "Senior Brother Wu, let's leave it at that for now. I'll talk to you when I get back."

After hanging up the phone, Hu Qinghai said through gritted teeth, "Boy, I didn't expect you to follow me out here?"

If it weren't for Lin Fei's interference, he would have long since acquired one-tenth of the Deng Group's shares.

So when he saw Lin Fei daring to follow him out, Hu Qinghai was filled with a sense of revenge. This was, after all, outside the Deng family villa; even if he dealt with Lin Fei here, the Deng family wouldn't know.

"So you never really intended to heal Master Deng, but rather conspired with someone to harm him, and aimed for the Deng family's assets," Lin Fei said with a piercing gaze at Hu Qinghai.

At the Deng family, Hu Qinghai had said that waking Master Deng might cause memory loss or a decrease in intelligence, which made Lin Fei suspicious of Hu Qinghai, because the Heart-devouring Palm would only cause the recipient's heart to ultimately break, leading to death, never memory loss or cognitive decline.

This made him suspect that Hu Qinghai might either be making things up or intending to 'treat' Master Deng into a state of amnesia and mental deficiency.

After Master Deng awakened, while everyone else's attention was on him, Lin Fei noticed Hu Qinghai quietly slipping away with his bodyguard.

This made Lin Fei more certain that Hu Qinghai had something to hide.

Therefore, he followed quietly, not expecting to overhear Hu Qinghai on the phone with this "Senior Brother Wu," catching everything Hu Qinghai said.

It was only then that Lin Fei understood the truth.

Knowing that Lin Fei had overheard his conversation with the senior brother, and aware that his conspiracy had been exposed, Hu Qinghai immediately revealed his true intentions. With a fierce look on his face, he said to his bodyguard, "Leopard, knock this kid out for me!"

If Lin Fei were allowed to continue speaking and the Deng family overheard, wouldn't that be disastrous?

The tall, brawny bodyguard agreed and threw a punch toward Lin Fei.
