Jiang Xueyi's mouth was so wide with happiness that he couldn't close it. As long as he followed the two paths explained by Xu Qin, he could secure Xunrong's inheritance.
In truth, although Jiang Xueyi was a descendant of the Jiang family, he had never held any power or influence.
If he could obtain Xunrong, Jiang Xueyi would completely turn his life around!
Even if Xunrong never developed further, its current scale was enough for Jiang Xueyi to live comfortably for a lifetime. The thought alone made him giddy with joy.
A father, in front of his dying daughter, ecstatic and dancing with joy.
Truly inhuman!
Jiang Xueyi said earnestly, "Wife, don't worry, I will do my best to get the inheritance. I'll discuss with the company's legal team how to bypass Jiang Lan and Lu Ming to take over Xunrong! Wife, you also need to be careful and absolutely do not let Lu Ming know about this."
Jiang Xueyi and Xu Qin meticulously discussed how to conceal their intentions from Lu Ming and seize Xunrong.
Little did they know.
Every word and action they took at that moment was being watched and heard by Lu Ming.
Hospital monitoring room.
Lu Ming sat in front of the monitors, watching Jiang Xueyi's ugly face on the large screen and listening to his disgusting conversation with Xu Qin.
Jiang Lan's VIP ward had been equipped with cameras and listening devices.
Everything that happened in the room could be clearly seen in the monitoring room.
How ridiculous that Jiang Xueyi thought others didn't know his intentions and that he could still conceal them from Lu Ming, unaware that Lu Ming had already returned to Jinling!
"Peh, disgusting!" Shura, standing beside him, felt like he was going to vomit.
The Medical Immortal said indignantly, "It's truly revolting. Warlord, you've wholeheartedly helped the Jiang family, saving them from countless troubles and pulling them out of the abyss time and again, yet they still treat you this way, being wary of you at every turn. They are worse than pigs and dogs!"
Shura and the Medical Immortal were furious.
Let alone them, anyone with a shred of conscience witnessing such a scene would feel it was not worth it for Lu Ming.
However, Lu Ming had come to terms with it.
He shook his head with a wry smile and said calmly, "From the first day I entered the Jiang family, I saw their true colors. If I wanted to leave, I would have done so long ago. Let's not dwell on this. The most important thing at this stage is to save Jiang Lan. As long as Jiang Lan recovers, Jiang Xueyi and Xu Qin's plan will fall apart."
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Based on the prescription Lu Ming had obtained from Yuan Chengji, after analyzing it, everyone declared they were powerless.
It was almost impossible to deduce the proportions and order from this prescription!
The Medical Immortal repeatedly shook his head, remaining silent.
At this moment.
Lu Ming turned his gaze back to Jiang Xueyi and said, "If he continues to stay in the ward, it is highly likely to affect Jiang Lan's condition and might even worsen it."
The Medical Immortal asked, "Then I'll go and chase him away?"
Chasing him away was inevitable.
However, some finesse was required; it couldn't be too direct.
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Medical Immortal, I recall that you once developed a drug specifically for interrogating criminals, called a hallucinogen?"
The Medical Immortal nodded, "Yes."
"Do you still have it?"
"Yes!"
"Good," Lu Ming said. "Let's give Jiang Xueyi a taste of the hallucinogen's torment, so he stops wandering around the ward aimlessly."
The hallucinogen was a drug specially concocted by the Medical Immortal to torture enemies. After ingestion, the user would enter a state of illusion, seeing and hearing their greatest fears.
It was a drug that caused immense harm to a person.
Lu Ming's decision to use this drug on Jiang Xueyi indicated the depth of his disgust and hatred for him.
The Medical Immortal nodded and left the monitoring room.
Not long after.
A nurse entered the ward with a glass of water, gently placing it on the table. She smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is boiled water for you. Please have some water and rest. Don't be too anxious."
Jiang Xueyi smiled, "Oh, your hospital's service is quite thorough."
The nurse replied with a smile, "Because this is a high-class VIP ward, it offers many special services."
Jiang Xueyi laughed heartily, "Hmm, I'll give you guys a five-star rating later!"
Saying that, he picked up the cup and drank it without any hesitation. Seeing Jiang Xueyi drink the water, the nurse, satisfied with her task completed, left the ward.
Jiang Xueyi put down the cup, still contemplating how to seize Xunrong.
Little did he know he had already consumed the hallucinogen.
Agony was fast approaching!
About ten minutes later, Jiang Xueyi felt his eyelids grow heavy, unable to open them.
He rubbed his eyes and murmured, "Ah, why am I so sleepy? I slept quite early last night. No, I can't stand it, I need to catch a nap."
The VIP ward had a small bed for family members to accompany patients. Jiang Xueyi, without even taking off his shoes, lay down on it.
Within two minutes, he was snoring soundly.
He expected to have a peaceful sleep, but the scene that followed almost made Jiang Xueyi wet himself from fear. The hallucinogen began to take effect, and Jiang Xueyi entered a realm of fantasy, seeing the most terrifying visions!
While sleeping.
He suddenly heard the sound of a howling wind.
Then, Jiang Xueyi heard footsteps approaching him.
Huh?
Jiang Xueyi slowly opened his eyes and saw a woman standing straight in front of the bed, looking at him silently without a word.
"Who?" Jiang Xueyi was instantly startled awake.
Upon closer inspection, he realized the woman standing before him was none other than his younger daughter, Jiang Lan!
"Xiao Lan? You... you've recovered?" Jiang Xueyi asked in disbelief.
Jiang Lan looked at Jiang Xueyi with cold eyes and asked expressionlessly, "Dad, do you really wish for my death? Do you really want Xunrong that badly? Why do you treat me and my sister so differently, when we are both your daughters?"
Jiang Xueyi was left speechless by the questions.
He stammered, unable to come up with a reason, his eyes darting around to ease his embarrassment.
But who would have thought.
Jiang Xueyi inadvertently noticed something was wrong with the Jiang Lan before him!
This Jiang Lan was not standing on the ground but floating in the air! A gust of wind lifted her skirt, revealing that Jiang Lan's feet were off the ground!
Instantly, Jiang Xueyi's face turned pale.
"Ghost..."
"Ghost!!!"
Jiang Xueyi, terrified, curled into a ball, shouting and screaming.
Jiang Lan, however, let out a cackling laugh, her face turning a dark green. She slowly floated towards Jiang Xueyi, her eyes bulging out.
She said in a sharp voice, "Dad, didn't you want me dead? Now that I'm dead, you should be happy, so why are you so scared?"
As she spoke, Jiang Lan extended her pale hands towards Jiang Xueyi.
Her ten fingernails were sharp and long, and her hands were a vivid red.
Jiang Xueyi trembled all over with fear.
"No, don't come near."
"Help!!!"
With a loud crash, Jiang Xueyi fainted on the spot from sheer terror.
