Chapter 508: Chapter 507 Blurred

Chapter 507 Blurred

"If you— " Old Man Lee was not able to continue his words.

"Did you really think that we are afraid of you and your pseudo threats?" Lily interrupted him. The same smile was plastered on her face. "You are absolutely delusional to even think that we would fall for your plans."

"You…"

"22 cases." Zhou Jingren interrupted the old man. "I have prepared 22 cases of Insurance fraud for your hospitals." He eyed his parents. "I am getting tired of this. It is nothing but a waste of my time."

"What are you saying?" the first one to react was Thomas before Ron chimed in.

"Stop lying!" Ron hissed, panic apparent in his eyes.

Zhou Jingren lifted an eyebrow. "Lie?" The chill in Zhou Jingren's voice made Thomas pale. "We both know it wasn't a lie."

"Zhou Jingren! Stop saying nonsense! This is a very serious case." Ron said. His face is just as ugly as Thomas' and Isaac's. Zhou Jingren sneered in response.

"We are done talking here." Zhou Jingren rose from his seat as Lily followed him. "You can choose to linger here and create more chaos or prepare yourselves for the case." He gave the old man a blank gaze before he held Lily's hands.

When the old man saw this, a tinge of fear immediately flashed in his eyes. He could feel his heartbeat speed up. "Jingren… " He opened his mouth to say more words as tension grew inside him. He immediately wondered how did Zhou Jingren manage to get the numbers right. This was something that he, Thomas, and Ron had been hiding for years! How could the man just blurt it out as if knowing it was a normal thing for him?

He stared at Zhou Jingren's blank expression as all the possibilities ran rampant in his mind. He could feel his heart drummed even faster as his breathing turned to gasps. He eyed his daughter's face and was immediately disheartened by the lack of concern in her eyes.

"I can't…" he clutched his chest as she struggled to breathe. 

"Medicine!" It was Ron. Isaac held Ron's shoulder, using it to support himself. He then glanced at Zhou Jingren who was standing still a few feet away from him. Beside him was Lily. And she… The woman had the same light smile plastered on her face. He met her eyes and realized that there was nothing in it. Just like Zhou Jingren… Lily was staring at him with nothing in her eyes.

He felt his gaze blurred. His breathing sparse as he felt the world spin around him. The lack of sympathy from his daughter and grandson's eyes seemed to cause more pain in his chest. And he knew it wasn't because of his heart disease.

"Heart attack! He is having a heart attack! Call the ambulance!" Thomas' panic voice echoed in his ears. He wanted to respond, yet he started to lose control of his limbs.

And then… darkness swallowed him.

Shanghai, B Hospital

"The old man is dead." Ron's voice was as cold as his gaze. He held the phone tighter, his fingers turning white. "He died of a heart attack."

"Weak." The woman on the other line responded. "I was not expecting that he would be this… fragile."

"He is in his seventies. It is only expected." Ron said. The absence of sympathy in his eyes would make anyone realized his true nature. "It was Zhou Jingren's fault." He hissed.

"Of course, it was his fault." A chuckle escaped the woman's voice. "He is the only capable one to make the old man vomit blood from too much anger."

"What are we going to do now? Brother refused to talk to me. He also refused to tell me where he sent Demi. If this continues… then our daughter will…"

"Don't worry. I can deal with him." The woman answered. "Still losing the Lee Group is such a waste. Demi was the only one who deserves to become the Madam of the Lee Family." She sighed. "It would have been perfect. Everything would have been perfect if…"

"I know," Ron added, his gaze was still cold as he eyed the parking lot of the hospital just a few meters away from him.

"Don't worry about it too much. Just act as if the old man's death traumatized you. Use that to get Jun's sympathy." The woman said. Disgust laced her voice. "I am working on my revenge against that woman."

"Be careful. That Lily is absolutely cunning." Ron said as he gritted his teeth. "If I am not wrong, the fraud charges should be her own doing. There is no way that Zhou Jingren would have access to some of the evidence like the swiss bank accounts without that woman's help."

"Don't worry." The woman gave a sinister laugh. "I have the perfect scapegoat. Lily would never know that it's me." He heard amusement laced the woman's voice. "Now that the old man is dead… I want you to get close to Thomas Lee."

"But…"

"Ron, darling. Listen to me." Her gentle voice interrupted him. "The Lee Family is ours. I have to do this to avenge my aunt. Isaac Lee broke her heart, he cheated on her and then left her to die on her own while he is enjoying the company of his mistress. Because of this… he deserves to suffer even if he is already dead." She sighed before her voice trembled. "I thought… I always thought that you are with me on this."

"Of course I am with you," Ron said. "I have always been with you even before you married my brother. Alright… I will listen to you. I will get close to Thomas. Do you have something in mind already? Do you want me to target his son? I could absolutely do that as well."

"I do. But first… I need Thomas to trust you as his father did."

Unbeknownst to the two of them, Thomas was just standing nearby, listening to Ron mocked his father and his name.
