CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 238: INCREASINGLY INTENSE

He left a message expressing gratitude to the Li Family for their care over the years, saying it was truly hard to watch the Li Family fall like this. He viciously cursed Li Yanan as a madman, stating that it was terrifying when he had an episode. At the very end, he even attached a video.

The video was captured clearly, showing the terrifying image of Li Yanan having an "episode" after taking medicine.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Linking it to the previous two videos of He Nuoxin, the entire plot was interconnected, making it a thrilling spectacle.

That afternoon, the media interviewed the Li Family, who had been reclusive since the incident.

At that time, Lu Dawei was pushing the uncontrollable Li Yingying and was heartbroken upon hearing the reporter’s question.

"Back then, it was indeed Yanan who wronged Miss He. As a father, I apologize to Miss He and the He family on his behalf."

After saying this, Lu Dawei even bowed ninety degrees to the camera.

But no one noticed the shrewd smile on his lips as he bent down...

Lin Zhenxin was awoken by a loud, sudden noise.

Opening her eyes, she saw the book that had been resting on her lap had fallen to the floor, no wonder it made such a sound.

She got up, picked up the book, and placed it on the coffee table, with a slightly dazed expression.

She had dreamed of Haohao just now.

Sighing, she thought, after all, this half-sister had become a worry on her mind.

Going downstairs, she found Li Yanan was not back yet but ran into the butler.

Lin Zhenxin thought for a moment and asked the butler to have the driver take her to the hospital.

She heard that Li Chengze had been staying in the hospital and hadn’t left, ignoring the Li Family’s affairs.

Lin Zhenxin sighed, thinking she might be meddlesome.

If Haohao were here, she surely wouldn’t want to see him like this.

It took an hour before Lin Zhenxin arrived at the hospital.

Very soon, she saw Li Chengze at the ICU ward entrance.

The once dignified figure was now more wretched than a beggar.

His eyes were deeply sunken, his beard unkempt, and his clothes unchanged, emitting a sour stench.

Lin Zhenxin walked directly past to Li Chengze.

Li Chengze slowly lifted his head, saw it was Lin Zhenxin, and after a brief flicker of his brow, his expression turned dull.

"How long will you act like this?" Lin Zhenxin asked coldly.

There were Tu Family members guarding the ICU entrance, evidently to prevent Li Chengze from approaching.

Tu Wanzi and Tu Shaohong were both absent that day.

Li Chengze said nothing, keeping his eyes shut, appearing lifeless.

"Bring him over." Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin spoke, then turned and headed to the restroom around the corner.

Before Li Chengze could react, someone appeared, grabbing him by the collar and following Lin Zhenxin.

Li Chengze, having not eaten or drank for days, found himself too weak to struggle.

Lin Zhenxin stood in front of the communal sink, looking in the mirror at her expressionless face, her eyes cold.

She turned on the faucet, letting water fill the entire sink.

"Dunk him in and let him sober up!"

With Lin Zhenxin’s command, the person forced Li Chengze’s face into the filled sink.

It was done with precision, maintaining enough time for him to breathe.

Once, twice, three times... Who knows how many times until Lin Zhenxin signaled to stop.

"Are you sober now?"

Li Chengze only managed to hear those words, his eyes flew open in anger as he glared at Lin Zhenxin.

"Lin Zhenxin, get lost!"

"In the past, Haohao treated you with kindness, but you treated her like garbage. Do you remember who was the first to stay by your side when the Li Family faced a crisis? Do you remember when you abandoned her and the wedding, what were you thinking?"

Li Chengze’s anger seemed to freeze, staring blankly at Lin Zhenxin.

"If you can do such things, why pretend to be pitiable and bother others?"

Lin Zhenxin glanced at him coldly. In this world, nothing is more incurable than regret.

"Li Chengze, staying here, isn’t it just escaping from the downfall of the Li Family causing you defeat?"

"You know your helplessness, you realize your limited ability, you begin to understand... your true worth!"

"Lin Zhenxin, what exactly do you want to say?" Li Chengze suddenly coldly spoke.

"Go back, face everything you need to face. I think... this is what Haohao would wish for."

Even though her heart was broken, Tu Haohao arranged everything, her feelings for him deeper than Lin Zhenxin thought.

"Through this incident, you should mature and take on the responsibilities a man should bear."

"The Li Family may have collapsed, but you are still alive."

Li Chengze was shaken, staring at Lin Zhenxin as if he couldn’t believe those words came from her mouth.

Why would she say this to him?

"Just consider it me being meddlesome." Seeing the question in his eyes, Lin Zhenxin calmly spoke and signaled to release him.

After saying this, Lin Zhenxin turned to leave.

"Thank you..." Li Chengze suddenly responded from behind.

The voice was deep, yet very soft.

Lin Zhenxin paused, then continued walking forward...

In the ICU intensive care unit, Lin Zhenxin stood quietly next to Tu Haohao, dressed in full isolation gear.

This was the result of her appeal to Dean Xun.

There were only ten minutes.

Tu Haohao still wore a breathing apparatus, her face pale and figure frail.

In a short time, she seemed to have become thinner, her entire body skin and bones, and even her long hair was shaved off.

She lay silently, eyes closed, with no movement.

Lin Zhenxin couldn’t touch her, feeling an intense sourness in her heart.

Dean Xun briefly explained Tu Haohao’s condition; her condition was unstable, and she hadn’t regained consciousness since the incident, remaining in a coma.

No one could guarantee whether she would wake up alive.

After all, many have slept away their lives in the ICU.

"Haohao, you must be well..."

Walking out of the hospital, Lin Zhenxin appeared calm, but she unexpectedly encountered a pale Tu Wanzi downstairs.

Tu Wanzi gave her a somber look.

"Why are you here?" Tu Wanzi carried a thermos, though knowing Tu Haohao couldn’t drink it, she still prepared it daily.

She seemed ten years older, with some gray starting at the temples.

"Now everyone’s saying that your husband is a madman, with those dirty affairs with He Nuoxin back then, haha..."

Tu Wanzi’s voice was especially sharp, but Lin Zhenxin frowned.

Tu Wanzi gave a cold smile, perhaps aware of her own futility, or because Lin Zhenxin’s gaze was too cold, she stopped.

Lin Zhenxin knew the moment Tu Wanzi spoke, the post would probably stir up changes again.

Expressionless, she brushed past her, clearly unwilling to discuss these matters anymore.

"Lin Zhenxin..." Tu Wanzi called from behind.

Lin Zhenxin paused and finally turned to look at her.

"I know about Haohao’s matter, you and Tu Xinya conspired. Lin Zhenxin... you mother and daughter will not die well!"

Lin Zhenxin suddenly laughed coldly, a laugh that made Tu Wanzi shiver.

"If I won’t die well, then you should have already gone to hell!"

Lin Zhenxin walked out of the hospital, greedily breathing the fresh air.

Inside, she was almost suffocating.

Soon, however, Lin Zhenxin was surrounded by a swarm of reporters at the hospital entrance.

Like madmen, the reporters encircled her.

"Miss Lin, what do you think about the recent events?"

"Do you believe your partner is mentally unstable?"

"What is your view on the online posts? What really happened back then?"

The reporters bombarded with endless questions, like cannonballs directed at Lin Zhenxin.

In contrast, Lin Zhenxin only tried to remain calm, observing the surroundings with a composed expression.

"Posts? What posts?" she asked indifferently.

Reporters glanced at each other, unsure if she was genuinely unaware or just feigning ignorance.

Somebody eagerly brought out their phone to show her the post, indicating for her to take a look.

Lin Zhenxin accepted it, calmly browsing the webpage in front of the reporters.

That day she had read it halfway in the study, yet in a few days, the post’s following had set a new record.

Seeing the post by the Li Family’s family doctor, Lin Zhenxin’s expression suddenly turned cold.

She could never forget Li Yanan’s condition after taking the medication, all of which was dispensed by this person.

She then saw the video about Lu Dawei.

In the video, Lu Dawei appeared like a loving father, his face full of anguish, moving those ignorant of the truth.

Not to mention, there was that perfect ninety-degree deep bow.

Lin Zhenxin coldly smiled inwardly, realizing Lu Dawei also played a part in this.

So these people were teaming up to push Li Yanan to desperation?

"Miss Lin, do you have anything to say after reading the post?" The closest reporter held a microphone up to her.

Lin Zhenxin slowly raised her head and returned the phone to the reporter.

Just as she was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"I have something to say!"

The speaker was none other than He Nuoxin!

Media reporters fell silent for a moment as the sunglass-wearing He Nuoxin walked toward Lin Zhenxin, lips curled into a smile.

Perhaps the atmosphere between the two was too peculiar, causing reporters to glance at each other.

Lin Zhenxin squinted slightly, watching He Nuoxin approach without any change in expression.

Very soon, He Nuoxin stood in front of Lin Zhenxin, face to face, with an air of tension between them.
