At critical moments, these two were quite reliable, but once things calmed down, they turned into two clowns, and the second one was particularly annoying. Not wanting to get involved with them, Ye Mingshang went downstairs by himself.
As he reached the corner of the staircase on the second floor, a gloomy-looking young man with a wan complexion brushed past him.
"Excuse me, could you wait a moment?" Ye Mingshang called out.
"Are you talking to me?" The young man turned back, looking weak and listless, as if he had overindulged.
Ye Mingshang took a good look at him and noticed a dark aura surrounding his forehead, clearly indicating that he was plagued by bad luck. He advised, "Be careful lately."
However, the young man did not appreciate the warning and thought he was looking for trouble. He scoffed, "Are you trying to scare me? Consider yourself lucky; if it were a few days ago, I would have broken your legs for that."
With that, the young man left without looking back.
After watching the young man disappear around the corner, Ye Mingshang remained alert. A person wouldn't be shrouded in dark energy for no reason; either they had encountered some significant setback or had come across something sinister. Either way, it could have a serious impact on one's life. Ye Mingshang only reminded him out of goodwill; if he chose not to listen, it was no concern of his.
He went downstairs, wandered around for a bit, and breathed in some cold air, feeling that the effects of the alcohol had lessened considerably.
Checking the time, he saw it was almost five o'clock. He took out his phone to call Director Lu for dinner and to ask how things were going on his end. However, just as he picked up the phone and was about to dial, he received a call from the other side.
Curious, Ye Mingshang answered the phone. "Hello? What a coincidence! I was just about to call you. What's up?"
"Brother Ye, you need to come quickly; Director Lu has collapsed," Xu Chen's anxious voice came through the line.
"What happened?" Ye Mingshang asked.
"Brother Ye, please hurry! If you don't come soon, the director won't make it," Xu Chen's voice was already trembling with tears.
Ye Mingshang frowned. "Where are you?"
"City Hospital, Room 203."
Ye Mingshang hung up the phone and hurried outside. Just as he reached the door, a taxi pulled up. Ye Mingshang dashed over, yanked open the door of a man who was about to get in, and took his seat in the car.
"To City Hospital!"
The driver glanced at him indifferently. "You should take another car; I was called here by Beeping."
"Stop talking nonsense and drive!" Ye Mingshang pulled out a handful of cash and tossed it onto the dashboard.
The driver's eyes lit up. "Alright! Buckle up." He slammed on the gas and sped off.
The young man rubbed his backside as he got up from the ground, watching the taxi speed away. He cursed, "Damn it, how dare you bully me! You even dared to steal my ride. Just wait until I find out who you are; I'll make you pay!"
There were many red lights in the city, and they hadn't gone far when they stopped again at an intersection. Ye Mingshang frowned. "Can't you go any faster?!"
The driver sighed. "Come on, it's a red light. Running a red light costs 200 and six points off your license."
Ye Mingshang couldn't be bothered to argue. He tossed all the cash he had left, which was several thousand, to him.
"Here’s for your fine and to buy points."
The driver's eyes brightened. "Hold on tight!"
Vroom!
Indeed, money talks; seeing the cash made the driver speed like crazy, weaving in and out of traffic and drifting expertly. What would normally take half an hour in the city was completed in just five minutes.
When Ye Mingshang got out of the car, his face was pale, his stomach churned violently, and he nearly lost his lunch.
The driver handed over a business card, saying, "Buddy, this is my card. If you need a ride in the future, look for me." After speaking, he slowly drove away.
Ye Mingshang glanced at the card in his hand: Nanjiao Chesheng.
Ye Mingshang frowned and casually tucked the card into his pocket before hurriedly heading towards the inpatient department.
The entire second floor was already filled with police officers, each holding a gun and standing at attention.
"What are you doing! No entry here, get out!" As soon as Ye Mingshang reached the door, a young officer sternly reprimanded him.
An old officer nearby recognized Ye Mingshang and scolded the young officer, saying, "Consultant Ye, come quickly. The director... sigh." He sighed at the end of his sentence.
Ye Mingshang furrowed his brow and followed the old officer to the door of the ward. After knocking, the door opened to reveal Xu Chen standing there. His eyes were red, as if he had just been crying. Upon seeing Ye Mingshang, his face twitched twice as if he was about to cry again.
"Brother Ye, you need to see this. Director Lu... he... he’s dead!"
"Dead!" Ye Mingshang exclaimed in shock and hurriedly pushed past him into the room.
Inside the ward were two other people: one was his nephew Lu Mingxuan, and the other was a woman in her forties, presumably his wife.
"Brother Ye," Lu Mingxuan said gloomily as he stood to the side and greeted Ye Mingshang.
Ye Mingshang nodded and walked to the bedside to check on Director Lu's condition.
He saw that Director Lu's face was pale, his lips were blue, and a thick black aura was emanating from his forehead, almost covering his eyebrows. Once it covered his eyebrows completely, it would truly mean death.
Ye Mingshang's brow furrowed tightly; this situation looked like a sign of imminent death. However, just a few days ago, Director Lu had been full of vitality. How could he suddenly be on the brink of death?
Ye Mingshang reached out, preparing to pry open Director Lu's eyelids, but was suddenly pushed aside by the sobbing woman. "What are you doing?! Don't touch my Da Hai! If you want to kill him, just kill me instead!"
The woman's emotions were highly agitated, her gaze somewhat vacant.
"Aunt Er, he’s not here to harm Uncle Er; he’s here to help him," Lu Mingxuan quickly grabbed the woman and whispered to her.
"He’s here to save him... he’s here to save him..." the woman muttered vacantly before suddenly kneeling down. "I beg you, please save my Da Hai. I can’t live without him. Please save him."
Ye Mingshang hurriedly helped her up, but seeing her still dazed and acting crazily, he pinched the back of her neck.
The woman suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted. Lu Mingxuan quickly caught her and looked at Ye Mingshang with some anger. "What did you do?!"
"She was too emotionally distressed and needs to rest properly; otherwise, she might go insane. Let the doctor give her a sedative so she can rest well," Ye Mingshang said.
Lu Mingxuan calmed down and nodded, carrying the woman out.
With no one to disturb him, Ye Mingshang finally opened Director Lu's eyes, only to see them rolled back, revealing large whites. He checked for breath and listened for a heartbeat, then stroked his chin, frowning deeply.
"Seeing him like this really looks like his life is about to end; something is not right."
(To be continued.)
