Romantic Medical Immortal

"Is this why you drugged Dad? It must be that bastard Cao Ruibin who instigated you to do this. Think carefully about how Dad has treated you all these years!"

"You’re uneducated, incorrigible, and hopeless, yet you blame Dad for not helping you!"

Kong Lingwen gritted his teeth and rushed forward to hit him, but was stopped by Yang Cheng.

"Kong Lingwen, you’re a beneficiary; you have no right to criticize me!"

Kong Lingchuan, lying on the ground, screamed in anger, his eyes filled with resentment.

The siblings were at each other’s throats, wishing to kill the other, and seeing this, Kong Jingshan felt a chill in his heart.

He felt he had failed, allowing his children’s relationship to become so hostile. If he died, would these two fight to the death?

If it really came to that, he wouldn’t rest in peace even in death.

"Lin Wen, let it be. He was just confused for a moment. You take care of things here at the hospital, and I’ll take him home to calm down."

Kong Jingshan sighed, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Uncle Kong, wait a minute."

At this moment, Yang Cheng spoke suddenly, looking quite serious.

Kong Jingshan immediately reacted and asked, "I almost forgot to ask, did you retrieve the herbs? Was anyone hurt?"

"We got them back; Steward Wen sustained a minor injury, but that’s not what I want to talk about."

Yang Cheng raised the syringe in his hand, looking serious.

"What’s in here isn’t a sedative, but highly toxic potassium cyanide. Just a tiny bit will be fatal instantly."

Upon hearing this, the three members of the Kong Family widened their eyes, and Kong Jingshan looked at Kong Lingchuan in disbelief.

He knew his son might be displeased with him but never thought he would attempt to murder him.

"Impossible! That was just a sedative, certainly not poison."

Kong Lingchuan quickly explained, struggling to get up from the ground.

"Then tell me, who gave you this sedative?"

Kong Lingwen had already guessed that this fool was being used and looked at him with ridicule. How could someone so simple-minded ever take over the Kong Family?

If he really became the Family Head, the Kong Family’s business would be swindled away sooner or later.

Kong Lingchuan bit his lip, hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Yang Cheng got angry, a surge of fury rising, and grabbed him by the collar, dragging him into an empty ward beside them.

The onlookers didn’t know what happened, only hearing the Kongs arguing before everyone went into the ward.

"What’s going on? The doctor is back, why aren’t they treating the patient? Everyone’s waiting!"

"Could it be the herbs weren’t found? That would be troublesome."

"No choice, only he can treat this illness now. Whether we wait or not, wait we must."

The patients’ families felt helpless, but after Madam Gong’s warning example, no one dared provoke Yang Cheng, fearing he might refuse treatment out of displeasure.

Inside the ward, Yang Cheng said seriously, "Kong Lingchuan, what’s between your ears? Do you have a brain? Someone tells you this is a sedative, and you believe it? I can tell you clearly, this is poison. If you don’t believe me, have it tested."

"It can’t be. Why would Uncle lie to me? He said if I sedated Dad, he could help me become the Family Head. Once I become the Head, there’d be no need for tension between the families."

Kong Lingchuan’s face turned pale, his eyes filled with panic.

Slap!

Kong Lingwen couldn’t hold back and slapped him again, gritting his teeth as he scolded, "Idiot! You’ve been in Zhonghai all these years, you should know how much Cao Ruibin has done against the Kong Family. He never intended to support you, he wants to devour the whole Kong Family!"

"Even now you’re so naive. Now you see why Dad wouldn’t let you be the Family Head! You’d sell yourself and help count the money!"

"Though I don’t like you as a brother, you’re still a Kong. I wouldn’t harm you, but Cao Ruibin only has schemes in his heart. If you keep working for him, you’ll die without knowing how."

Kong Lingwen thought that while she wasn’t incredibly smart, both she and Kong Jingshan had business acumen. Why was Kong Lingchuan so brainless?

Could it be that Cao Yumei had an affair?

Hearing Kong Lingwen’s words, Kong Lingchuan felt a buzzing in his head—as if suddenly enlightened.

He realized if the Kong Family wasn’t led by his father, his uncle might not really support him. As Kong Lingwen said, the family could be slowly swallowed up, leaving not even crumbs for him.

"Dad, I really didn’t know it was poison inside. We were arguing, and in a moment of madness, I wanted to inject you with a small dose of sedative, to make you unconscious for a few days."

Kong Lingchuan’s eyes reddened instantly, remorsefully looking at Kong Jingshan.

If that needle had really gone in earlier, and he had killed his own father, he’d regret it for the rest of his life.

Kong Jingshan’s expression was complicated; he could tell this son genuinely didn’t know. Yet the fact remained that he almost died at his son’s hand.

"Lingchuan, I already said I know about everything you’ve been doing lately—you stole company confidential files, leaked information to Cao Ruibin, and disclosed my whereabouts. But I always thought you were my son and didn’t want us to become enemies."

"It’s my fault for not teaching you right, letting your mom fill your head with wrong ideas, causing such a result."

He sighed deeply, his eyes filled with regret and disappointment.

"Leave Zhonghai. I’ll transfer money to your account every month on time."

Kong Jingshan couldn’t face this son, so he’d rather not. He could always support Kong Lingchuan, fulfilling a father’s duty.

"Dad! You can’t send me away. I was deceived!"

"I know I was wrong. Give me another chance; I promise to be honest from now on. Let me stay in Zhonghai."

Kong Lingchuan’s eyes turned red, his voice choked, as he struggled forward and grabbed Kong Jingshan’s hand.

Kong Jingshan didn’t shake him off, but also turned away, refusing to look at him.

He should have done this earlier. When Lin Wen left Zhonghai to develop and came back, their father-daughter relationship was better. Now it was also time for this son to go and learn something.

Seeing his father so determined, Kong Lingchuan’s legs gave way, and he knelt in front of him, tears streaming down immediately.

He did all this, after all, to get more attention and fatherly love, but it backfired.

"Uncle Kong, don’t send him away yet, let him cooperate and make a call to Cao Ruibin."

At this moment, Yang Cheng broke the silence.

"I’ll cooperate and do whatever you want, just don’t make me leave."

Kong Lingchuan instantly calmed down, his eyes even becoming clear.
