“That’s not right, Third Brother, isn’t there a bathroom right here in the bedroom? Why would you run outside to use the toilet?” As the eldest, Ren Zhenghua was naturally not foolish, and some of Ren Zhengyu’s unusual behavior had already aroused his suspicions, “Third Brother, what are you up to? Father is clearly in critical condition, yet it seems like you don’t care at all?”
Ren Zhenghua’s words made Ren Zhengyu’s face turn awkward in an instant.
Everyone’s gaze converged on Ren Zhengyu!
Right!
The room obviously had a toilet, why did Ren Zhengyu need to go outside to use it?
Isn’t that nonsense?
“Well… I just wanted to get some fresh air, that’s all right, isn’t it?” Ren Zhengyu now couldn’t wait to leave this place at any moment.
Ye Fan, he was putting too much pressure on him.
He always felt like something bad was going to happen!
Since Ren Zhengyu had said this, Ren Zhenghua and Ren Zhengchao naturally didn’t feel it was appropriate to say anything more.
However, Ye Fan just smirked sinisterly, “Why doesn’t Uncle Three wait another two minutes? The Doctor Mike that Uncle Three has invited should be arriving soon as well, and once he does, we can have a good discussion about medicine!”
“Ah!”
Ye Fan’s words nearly made Ren Zhengyu jump out of his skin.
Poisoning the father, it was an act he and Doctor Mike had conspired together. Just a moment ago, Ren Zhengyu was relieved that Doctor Mike wasn’t on the scene today. If Ye Fan really discovered something, he could push all the blame onto Mike, and then find an opportunity to silence Mike afterward, so that none of the responsibility would impact him.
But why would Doctor Mike come?
He hadn’t called him, had he?
Ren Zhengyu looked at Ye Fan in shock and glanced nervously at Ren Zhenghua and the others.
Seeing Ye Fan cornering Ren Zhengyu like this, Ren Zhenghua and Ren Zhengchao also sensed something was amiss. With Ye Fan’s cunning character, it didn’t seem like he would take offense at a few words from Third Uncle, would he?
“Young Master Ye, have you discovered something?” Ren Zhengchao turned to Ye Fan and inquired, then glanced at his father, Ren Tianxing, lying on the bed, “Does Father’s condition have anything to do with Doctor Mike?”
Ye Fan nodded, “Besides the sequelae from the car accident five years ago… Elder Master’s body has also been poisoned with a chronic poison, and it’s even a combination of toxins. If I hadn’t arrived today in time, I’m afraid Elder Master wouldn’t have survived the day!”
Poisoned?
The pupils of Ren Zhenghua, Ren Zhengchao, Ren Xueying, and the others all dilated in shock.
For so many years since Father had been seriously ill, He had almost always been bedridden, with very little time spent conscious. Everyone always believed that it was due to the impact of the car accident, never suspecting poisoning.
After being discharged from the hospital back then, it was always Doctor Mike, arranged by Third Brother, who took care of Old Master Ren’s health, and no one ever had any doubts about it.

And now to find out that their father had been suffering for so long because he had been poisoned?
Ren Zhenghua and the others turned their heads to look at Lei Qianjue, still uncertain about Ye Fan’s judgment.
“Why are you looking at me? You still don’t believe my master? I also detected the toxins in Elder Master’s body just now, but I can’t neutralize them!” Lei Qianjue’s eyes widened at them in return, leaving Ren Zhenghua and Ren Zhengchao with sheepish expressions.
“Third Brother! What’s going on here? Are you behind this?” Ren Zhenghua looked sternly at Ren Zhengyu, his gaze filled with murderous intent.
Ren Zhengyu, to actually harm their father, was he that cruel?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Big Brother! Don’t listen to that idiot… How could I… How could I ever lay a hand on Father…” Ren Zhengyu was completely panicked, his exposure was inevitable, Ye Fan had already discovered the toxins in Father’s body, and if he didn’t leave now, he’d be in trouble, “I have an emergency, I must leave immediately, I’ll explain later!”
At this moment, Ren Zhengyu couldn’t even bother to come up with an excuse and started heading toward the door of the bedroom.
Crash!
Just as Ren Zhengyu was about to set off, two bodyguards arranged by Ren Xueying at the door, accompanied by a hook-nosed man in a white coat, appeared at the entrance, perfectly blocking Ren Zhengyu’s way back.
“Doctor Mike? Why have you come?” Seeing that Mike had actually been brought in, Ren Zhengyu’s face turned to one of utter despair!
It’s over!
Completely over!
“Mr. Ren, weren’t you the one who asked me to come over?” Doctor Mike looked at Ren Zhengyu with some confusion, curiously.
At this point, Xueying, who was with Ye Fan, finally began to understand why Ye Fan had arranged for her to call Doctor Mike over and had her seal off the backyard to prevent anyone from entering or leaving at will.
It turned out Ye Fan had sensed something wrong all along!
Calling Mike here was for a face-to-face confrontation! Sealing off the backyard was to prevent Uncle Three from escaping!
“Damn it! Why the hell did you come at this time?” Ren Zhengyu hissed at Mike in a low voice, wishing he could strangle him.
If Mike hadn’t come, he could have made up an excuse, but with Mike at the scene, as soon as Mike spoke up, Ren Zhengyu would be doomed!
With this thought, a fierce look flashed in Ren Zhengyu’s eyes, and without any hesitation, he drew out the dagger he was carrying and stabbed it toward Doctor Mike’s heart, “Big Brother! It’s all Doctor Mike’s doing, he put poison in father’s medicine, wanting to kill him, I’m avenging father right now!”
Ren Zhengyu’s thinking was simple, and very clumsy!
Although everyone could guess the truth was certainly that the third brother had tampered with it, as long as he killed Mike and prevented Mike from testifying, even though everyone knew the truth, they couldn’t do anything to Ren Zhengyu.
“Ren Zhengyu… you… shameless…” Seeing the dagger Ren Zhengyu pulled out, Mike hurried to dodge, but the distance was only about two feet, and Mike was just a regular doctor.
How could he easily dodge Ren Zhengyu’s sudden attack?
“Ah!
“Ah!” Ren Xueying screamed in horror when she saw Uncle Three actually taking a knife and stabbing Doctor Mike.
Everything happened so quickly that no one had time to react and stop Ren Zhengyu’s action.
Just as Ren Zhengyu’s dagger was about to pierce Mike’s chest, a smug smile appeared on Ren Zhengyu’s lips.
Hmph!
As long as Mike died, he could blame everything on Mike.
That way, although his plan to seize control of the Ren Family had failed, he would at least be safe. At worst, he could flee abroad and enjoy his later years with the money he had amassed over the years.
Alas!
Mike, don’t blame me!
Puchi!
A crisp sound echoed in the room, just when Ren Zhengyu thought everything was taken care of, and Doctor Mike thought he was surely going to die!
But after several seconds, Ren Zhengyu realized Mike hadn’t coughed up blood and his body hadn’t fallen.
The key point was, Ren Zhengyu found the feeling on his dagger to be somewhat off!
Ren Zhengyu looked down at the dagger in his hand, and indeed it had punctured something, but it wasn’t Mike’s body, it was a pillow.
Ye Fan, holding the pillow, was staring at Ren Zhengyu with a devilish grin.
After a chuckle, Ye Fan turned to the still-shaken Mike, “Doctor Mike, now that he’s tried to silence you by killing you, speak up… Confess and you may receive leniency, there might still be a chance for you to live…”
