162: Lin Jianjun, who learned the truth, stained the sky with blood.
Modu First Peoples Hospital.
General ward.
Just as Lin Jianjun was anxiously waiting for the paternity test report to be delivered… *Click!*
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"Are they here?!"
Lin Jianjun subconsciously stood up and walked towards the door.
But when he saw the people who walked into the room, his brows furrowed, and his face immediately fell.
He returned to the bedside, sat down, and sighed dejectedly:
"Lu Bingkun? What are you doing here?"
"The company is already beyond saving. What's the point of you coming to find me?"
"I heard someone is acquiring company shares? You… you should sell them quickly too…"
"…"
The arrivals were several board members led by Lu Bingkun.
They were all typical hardliners, still struggling, unwilling to give up hope of the Group's comeback.
The men came to Lin Jianjun's side, looking at the once high-spirited Lin Jianjun, now haggard and unrecognizable, and couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
But for their own futures, they still earnestly advised:
"Chairman, how can you give up so easily? This isn't like you!"
"Now there's some unknown fellow! He's constantly contacting the company's shareholders, acquiring their shares. This person definitely has an ulterior motive."
"Lin Corporation is your life's work! Old Lin, are you just going to give up like this?"
"The Group hasn't reached a dead end yet. As long as your son is willing to help, there's still hope for everything."
"That's right! Old Lin, listen to our advice! Quickly kick that jinx mother and son out of your house. Then go find Young Master Lin, kowtow, and apologize. There's still time."
"…"
After listening to the tiresome persuasion of the board members,
Lin Jianjun showed a bitter smile, clearly having expected this, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.
Sure enough… the only people who would come to me now have this purpose, don't they?
"Don't waste your breath. You're not unaware of the conflict between me and that rebellious… Lin Xuan, are you?"
"There's basically no possibility of reconciliation now. Why are you still so naive?"
"Last time I went to see him, he let me, his respectable father… cry in the rain."
"Such cruel and heartless behavior, can't you recognize reality? That kid has no humanity!"
"…"
Lin Jianjun expressionlessly raised his left hand, looking at his bare palm, a hint of hatred flashing in his pupils.
Since he became disabled, this emotion had been impossible to suppress.
He often wondered… if Lin Xuan, that rebellious son, hadn't deliberately delayed back then… would he not have become a cripple because of it?
Every time he thought this, his hatred for Lin Xuan grew a little more.
How could that beast be so cold and heartless?
Was it merely because of the trivial conflicts between father and son in their daily lives?
Could he just watch his only father suffer without being moved?
Was that rebellious son's heart truly not made of stone? Would he not feel any pain???
"Chairman, that's not right! You're confused!"
On the other side.
Seeing Lin Jianjun completely lose his fighting spirit,
Lu Bingkun frowned, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and began to organize his words to persuade:
"If Young Master Lin truly has no affection left for you, his father,"
"Then why would he hand over a priceless prescription to safely ransom you from the robbers?"
"As for Young Master Lin's so-called heartlessness that you mentioned? Alas, you're looking at the problem too narrowly, Chairman!"
"Think about your past favoritism towards Young Master Lin, and put yourself in his shoes…"
"If your father had also shown such favoritism towards you, would you easily forgive him? Would you just laugh it off? Impossible, right?"
"…"
After hearing Lu Bingkun's words, Lin Jianjun's heart skipped a beat, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
He put himself in Lin Xuan's shoes… and instantly became depressed.
Many things he had taken for granted… but when viewed from his eldest son's perspective, it seemed he… had indeed been a bit unfair, a bit biased!
For the first time in his life, Lin Jianjun felt genuine remorse for his past actions.
If he had treated both brothers equally back then, would the tragedy of father and son turning against each other not have happened?
And seeing Lin Jianjun finally listen to advice and reflect,
The shareholders exchanged glances, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
They refused to sell their shares to that man named Ma Yingzhe… wasn't it because they held onto a last shred of hope, betting on Lin Xuan acknowledging his family?
Especially after hearing that Lin Xuan had produced a priceless prescription to ransom Lin Jianjun's family from the desperate criminals… they became even more confident, believing that Lin Xuan still had affection for his father.
Otherwise, why would he pay such a high price to save him?
And as long as there was still affection, there was a possibility for the father and son to reconcile, and Lin Corporation still had hope… anyway, the value of their shares was not high if sold now, so it was better to take a gamble.
Take a chance, and a bicycle might turn into a motorcycle.
If the gamble succeeded… the Group might even experience a second spring.
They might even have the chance… to become shareholders of a trillion-dollar group… With such ambition, the men once again urged Lin Jianjun, asking him to abandon Lin Hao and his mother, in order to resolve the long-standing resentment in Lin Xuan's heart.
To be honest, they completely failed to understand Lin Jianjun's extreme favoritism towards his illegitimate son.
While speechless, they were also greatly shocked.
They couldn't comprehend why he would ignore such an excellent son as Lin Xuan,
And instead favor that illegitimate son who only knew how to "whine and cry" when things went wrong.
How many times must his head have been caught in a door to do such a foolish thing?!
— *Knock, knock, knock* —
Just as the Group's board members were chattering, surrounding Lin Jianjun and talking over each other… a knock came from the door.
Immediately, a young nurse walked in, holding an envelope.
"Hello, this is the paternity test report the director asked me to give you."
Paternity test report?
Could it be… Lu Bingkun and the other board members widened their eyes, vaguely guessing what it was.
Lin Jianjun's face was grim, and he didn't care about their gazes at all. He quickly snatched the envelope, tore it open, and looked at the final result.
In just an instant, Lin Jianjun's face turned completely ashen.
Then, it rapidly turned fiery red at a visible speed, and his expression instantly became extremely ferocious.
That terrifying expression made the board members instinctively step back a few paces.
"You—bitch—! ! !"
Lin Jianjun practically gritted out the three words, one by one.
"*Pfft*—"
Perhaps due to extreme anger, as Lin Jianjun's face turned explosively red, a sweet, metallic taste surged up in his throat.
Immediately, a half-meter long jet of blood suddenly spurted from his mouth.
In an instant, blood stained the air, dyeing his clothes and the pristine white bed a horrifying crimson.
Seeing this terrifying scene,
Lu Bingkun and the others were startled and quickly gathered around him with concern.
"Damn it, Old Lin. Are you okay?"
"Chairman, you're spitting blood! Don't scare me!"
"Don't die! Old Lin, you haven't even begged your son for forgiveness yet? Don't die yet! At least hold on for a while longer!"
"Doctor, where's the doctor? Quickly call the doctor over!"
"…"
At this moment, Lin Jianjun could no longer hear the shareholders' words.
The sudden, immense shock caused his brain to momentarily stop functioning, and time seemed to stand still.
He just sat blankly on the hospital bed, at a loss.
Images began to flash through his mind like a revolving lantern… scenes of Xiao Hao sweetly calling him "Daddy" from childhood.
But the next second, the images shattered, leaving only the cold final result on the paternity test.
How could this be?
Why did it turn out like this???
What sin did I, Lin Jianjun, commit?!
For heaven to be so cruel to me!!!
Under the extreme stimulation of the truth,
Two lines of despairing, hot tears of blood slowly streamed from Lin Jianjun's eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Bingkun and the others were so shocked their eyeballs almost popped out.
As the saying goes: 'seeing is believing.'
They had lived most of their lives and had only seen tears of blood in movies.
Today was the first time they had witnessed such a "spectacle" in person.
"Damn, I've lived long enough. Even tears of blood came out?"
"Old Lin, you… you… you didn't overuse your Sharingan, did you?"
"Are you okay! What exactly stimulated you so much?"
"…"
Ignoring the startled shouts of the board members,
Lin Jianjun stood up expressionlessly, pushed aside the crowd in front of him, and walked forward numbly, like a walking corpse.
He was going to find his once cherished little wife, whom he had held in his hands for fear of dropping and kept in his mouth for fear of melting.
He wanted to question her why she treated him this way, and who… was the man who had cuckolded him?!
"Hey, Old Lin, where are you going?"
"Old Lin…"
Watching Lin Jianjun's back disappear through the doorway,
The board members were puzzled and called out repeatedly.
They had no idea what sudden madness had come over him (O_o)???
It wasn't until a more quick-witted shareholder picked up the inspection report that had fallen to the ground that his face changed strangely, and he handed the report to the others.
In an instant, everyone understood.
【Name: Lin Jianjun.】
【Name: Lin Hao.】
【According to Mendel's laws of inheritance, the two are "excluded from parent-child relationship.".】
The report clearly stated in extremely conspicuous font the fact that Lin Jianjun and Lin Hao had no blood relation.
"Lin Hao isn't Old Lin's son??? No wonder he doesn't look like him at all. I had my suspicions before."
"Old Lin is too miserable, isn't he? He's been cuckolded for decades, and not only did he dote on someone else's son, but he also broke ties with his own son for Lin Hao's sake?!"
"That little green tea, Bai Yuelan, I knew she was trouble the first day she joined the company. I didn't expect her to be so ruthless, directly cuckolding Old Lin for decades?!"
"No wonder Old Lin was in that state just now, his mentality completely collapsed! Who could accept this if it happened to them?!"
"…"
After learning the truth, Lu Bingkun and the others couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy and pity on their faces.
It was truly too tragic!!!
Old Lin's entire life has been a complete tragedy!!!
"Given the Chairman's state just now, nothing bad will happen, will it?"
"I've seen news about people losing their minds and killing others. Old Lin's state, who knows…"
"We should go check on him! For the Group to be saved now, it can't do without Old Lin. We can't let anything happen to him at this critical juncture!"
"…"
The group discussed as they walked, quickly leaving the ward.
Lin Corporation.
Headquarters, employee dormitory.
Lin Hao was sprawled on the sofa, browsing the latest news about the Su Family online.
But the more he read, the more irritated he became.
The Su's, currently, was thriving, with its market value soaring due to the explosive sales of the Beauty Pill.
Judging by the current situation, returning to its former peak was only a matter of time.
And Lin Xuan, as the heir of the Su's, was now rapidly gaining popularity.
If previously he was more associated with a bad reputation,
Now his public perception was rapidly improving.
On the internet, some young girls even idolized Lin Xuan like a celebrity.
This made Lin Hao so jealous he was almost driven mad!!!
You know…
It's not that you fear your brother is suffering; you fear your brother drives a Land Rover.
The old Lin Xuan, compared to him, was a typical good-for-nothing.
Whenever the two brothers were mentioned by outsiders… he, the comparison, was always the one highly praised.
While Lin Xuan… was the object of various disappointments and criticisms.
But now, their positions were almost completely reversed. He had become the object of public scorn, while Lin Xuan had ascended to godhood.
This extreme contrast was completely unacceptable to Lin Hao.
If possible… he would rather trade 20 years of his life for Lin Xuan's lifetime of mediocrity.
Unfortunately… there was no 'if'!
"Damn bastard, what right do you have to possess all this?! What right?!"
Lin Hao's face was contorted with rage as he cursed Lin Xuan viciously in his heart.
Just then, Bai Yuelan's voice came from the kitchen.
"Xiao Hao, get ready. I've made dinner, we can go to the hospital to see your Daddy now."
"Go? Go where? That old good-for-nothing couldn't even hold onto the family fortune! I'm not serving him anymore."
The thought of his tens of billions in family assets being squandered by Lin Jianjun made Lin Hao grit his teeth in anger.
If it weren't for inheriting Lin Corporation all these years… how could he have endured the disgust and repeatedly played the "good boy" in front of him?
But now, all his efforts were in vain!!!
