Chapter 486 The Hunter Awakens
The ward was dimly lit.
The instruments beeped, displaying the patient's vital signs. The security guard outside the nurses' station had just been transferred, and a "doctor" wearing a mask and a white coat quietly approached Li Zhanchuan's bedside.
He was clutching a syringe in his hand, containing a high dose of drug that could induce a deep coma.
Just a step away from the hospital bed.
The man raised his hand, preparing to insert the needle into the vein.
—Just then, Li Zhanchuan suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes!
His deep, ocean-like eyes were filled with coldness.
"Who are you?" His voice was low and hoarse, yet carried a powerful, intimidating quality.
The man in black hadn't expected him to wake up suddenly, and his hand trembled, causing the syringe to fall to the ground.
Li Zhanchuan reacted quickly, raising his hand to grab the man's arm and twisting it hard. The man in black screamed and was forced to the bed.
"Security!" he shouted through gritted teeth.
Seconds later, several security guards rushed into the ward and subdued the man in black.
Li Zhanchuan leaned against the hospital bed, breathing heavily, his throat dry, but his mind was extremely clear.
He knew this was not a simple "medical malpractice".
Someone wants him dead.
-
Half an hour later.
The hospital leadership urgently suppressed the news, and Lin Chuyue was alone at the police station being investigated when she received the call.
Her phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
"Miss Lin, Mr. Li has woken up. Someone just tried to kill him, but fortunately they failed."
Lin Chuyue's hand trembled, and she almost dropped her phone. Her eyes instantly reddened.
"He...is he really awake?"
"Yes, but we can't be too stimulated right now, and the police have already launched an investigation."
Lin Chuyue hurriedly finished giving her statement and rushed to the hospital.
She stood at the door of the ICU ward, looking at the still weak but resolute man through the glass window, and tears silently streamed down her face.
She had never felt like this before—
I wanted to hold him tightly.
Inside the ward, Li Zhanchuan slowly turned his head, his gaze meeting hers through the window.
She froze for a moment.
The next second, he slightly curled the corners of his lips and extended a hand towards her.
At that moment, Lin Chuyue finally broke down and rushed into the ward.
"Why did you wake up so late?" Her voice trembled. "I... I really can't hold on anymore."
Li Zhanchuan weakly hugged her, "I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
-
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Qingyuan smashed a cup.
"He's awake?" He glared at his assistant menacingly. "How could he wake up so quickly? Wasn't he supposed to be bedridden for at least three months after the injection?"
"The injection failed... but it was recorded on the hospital's surveillance footage, and the police have started investigating."
Shen Qingyuan gave a cold laugh: "Investigate? They dare to investigate me?"
"Moreover, even if Li Zhanchuan wakes up, so what? Lin Chuyue is already speechless. The company's public opinion has collapsed, and the board of directors' support has plummeted. She has no chance of turning things around."
"You think I've been planning this for the past two years just for her alone?"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"What I want is the entire Lin family."
-
The following day, Lin Chuyue held an emergency press conference.
Dressed in a black suit, she appeared calm and composed as she faced the cameras, giving her first public response to the "cross-border fund transfer case":
"I have cooperated with the police and submitted all the relevant information. I am currently working to clear my name."
"As for the car accident that has been circulating online recently, I hereby declare that it was a murder."
There was an uproar.
The reporter pressed further: "Mr. Lin, do you have any evidence? Is someone deliberately framing you?"
She looked at the camera expressionlessly: "Once I find out the truth, I will make everyone pay the price."
After the press conference ended, Lin Chuyue had just returned to her office when she received a call from Gu Yanchuan.
"Are you sure you want to continue this confrontation?" he said coldly. "You know that if I hadn't intervened to suppress the vote, you would have been removed from the board long ago."
Lin Chuyue paused for half a second, her tone icy:
"You're stepping in not to save me, but because now isn't the best time for you to take over, right?"
Gu Yanchuan did not deny it.
"You're getting smarter and smarter, Chuyue."
"But don't forget, your original identity was Lin Zhengguo's daughter, while I am the real mastermind behind this game."
Lin Chuyue smiled gently.
"Then you just wait."
"I'll turn things around myself."
She hung up the phone and turned to look at the night outside the office.
The city's lights and shadows are ever-changing, but the one thing that remains clear in her heart is—
She cannot lose this battle.
-
Climax at the end of the chapter:
Three days after Li Zhanchuan regained consciousness, the police found a clue: behind the "doctor" who attempted the assassination was an overseas shell company.
Lin Chuyue received an anonymous email containing a blurry video.
The video footage shows the night before the car accident.
And then, a familiar figure appeared in the scene—
Lin Zhengguo.
