Chapter 1180: Illness Worsens
Zhang Kaifeng interrupted their flattery, saying, "Alright, stop thanking me. I've already booked a hotel; let's celebrate there later!"
Although Zhang Kaifeng had a good plan to celebrate this small victory with champagne, things never go according to plan. Before the car even arrived at the hotel, Xiao Mingyang received a phone call.
"Young Master, please come back quickly! The Master just watched the TV broadcast and was so angry that he collapsed!"
Xiao Mingyang paused for a moment, then hung up the phone and told Zhang Kaifeng to drive the car back.
Lin Yuqing, who was sitting to the side, noticed the change in Xiao Mingyang's expression and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xiao Mingyang stared coldly ahead and said emotionlessly, "My family called and said that Grandpa fainted from anger."
Lin Yuqing paused for a moment, thought for a second, and suggested, "Mingyang, let's call Dazhong first. We should get more reliable information that way."
After saying that, Lin Yuqing took out her phone and called Da Zhong.
The phone rang for a while before being answered; it sounded very noisy on the other end of the line.
"Hey, Da Zhong, how's Xiao Jincheng doing now?"
Holding the phone, Da Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Xiao Jincheng just fainted. I've already given him acupuncture, but he hasn't woken up yet. If he's still unconscious, I might give him some life-saving medication."
Lin Yuqing's heart tightened, and she asked, "Is his condition really dangerous?"
“Yes,” Da Zhong said, shoving the microphone over his shoulder and rummaging through a box. “Although the medicine is for emergencies and may have adverse effects, it’s still better than dying. Xiao Jincheng is really angry this time, so angry that his internal organs are all messed up. The situation is indeed very dangerous.”
Lin Yuqing glanced at Xiao Mingyang and said, "Please hold on until we get back, then we can discuss a plan. Mingyang and I..."
bang bang-
Before Lin Yuqing could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out on the other end of the phone, and then the call went silent.
"Hey, Big Bell, hey!"
The sudden turn of events startled Lin Yuqing. She turned to look at Xiao Mingyang, her voice becoming shrill with anxiety, "Mingyang, there seems to be danger over at the bell tower!"
With a deep frown, Xiao Mingyang said to Zhang Kaifeng, "Get back to the Xiao family as soon as possible!"
Zhang Kaifeng glanced at Xiao Mingyang in the rearview mirror, said nothing, silently pressed the accelerator to the floor, and sped towards the Xiao family castle.
An hour earlier, inside the Xiao Family Castle—
Upon receiving the news that Xiao Jincheng was in critical condition, Longyou and Ali rushed over immediately.
After witnessing Xiao Jincheng on the verge of death, Long You couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and quickly gave Ali a wink.
Looking sideways at Da Zhong, who was busy beside Xiao Jincheng, Ali's expression changed. Finally, he lowered his head, concealing the resolute look in his eyes.
After walking a few steps to Xiao Jincheng's bedside, Long You looked at the unconscious Xiao Jincheng with a worried expression and said, "Mr. Zhong, in your opinion, is my elder brother in danger?"
Big Bell was too busy to bother with this treacherous fellow, so he frowned and said, "With me here, he won't die!"
That one sentence ignited a murderous glint in Long You's eyes. However, Da Zhong was completely focused on Xiao Jincheng and failed to notice Long You's unusual behavior.
Seeing that the two people behind him were still standing there, Da Zhong said impatiently, "You're disturbing me by staying here! Please leave!"
"Yes, yes, let's go now!"
With a fawning expression, Longyou dragged Ali out the door and stood on the empty balcony, his expression gradually darkening.
"You saw what just happened. If we act now and kill Da Zhong, Xiao Jincheng will definitely lose his life! Then, the Xiao family will be under our control!"
"You're too naive. Have you forgotten about Xiao Mingyang?"
Long You rolled his eyes at Ali and said confidently, "The only reason I let that brat stay in the company is to give Xiao Jincheng some face. If he's not here, I can kick him out immediately!"
Ali didn't believe Long You's words at all, but he was too lazy to argue with the guy. He turned his head and looked at the luxury inside the castle, saying thoughtfully, "Being able to live here must be a kind of enjoyment."
With his arms braced against the railing, Long You squinted slightly and agreed, "That's right, that's why I dreamt this was my home! I believe that soon, our dream will come true! Ali, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and now I can't wait!"
"So you're planning to make your move in a bit?"
“That’s right! We can’t let Da Zhong have a chance to save Xiao Jincheng!” Long You said with a bloodthirsty smile. “However, Da Zhong is also a formidable character. If we’re not careful, he might turn on us. So we need to cooperate with each other and not let him find any openings so that we can kill him in one fell swoop!”
"Aren't you afraid your other brothers will turn against you?"
Long You revealed a disdainful smile and said, "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of! They're all a bunch of useless old fogies! I've already prepared the property transfer documents, and a lawyer will be here soon. While Xiao Jincheng is out of his mind, we'll transfer all of the Xiao family's assets to our names! Even if they resist, they can only talk the talk!"
After saying that, Longyou seemed to notice that Ali was acting a little strange, and frowned as he asked, "Why are you talking so much today?"
Ali's expression relaxed, and he said matter-of-factly, "Now it's Xiao Jincheng who's going to rebel, so it's always good to be careful. Besides, you were the one who devised the plan, and you've never explained it to me in detail, so it's only right that I ask more questions."
Longyou thought this explanation was reasonable, so he didn't think much of it. He briefly explained where they would take action, how to stage the scene, and how to frame others. After they checked their statements, they went out to look for the clock.
Just then, Da Zhong received a phone call and walked to a secluded spot, his back to Long You and Ali.
Longyou gave Ali a wink, and the two split up. Longyou planned to distract Dazhong while Ali assassinated Dazhong from behind.
Da Zhong was on the phone when he saw Long You giving him a fawning smile, which annoyed him. He turned his head away, ignoring Long You's flattery, and continued his call.
But as his gaze shifted, Da Zhong noticed through the reflection in the glass that there was another person standing behind him, who had taken out a pistol, aimed at a figure, and was about to fire!
He suddenly crouched down, and the large bell rolled twice in the opposite direction. At the same time, a gunshot rang out. When the large bell looked up, it saw Long Ou lying in a pool of blood. Ali stood opposite Long You, holding a gun, his expression indifferent.
