"Wan'er, you're overreacting. We just wanted to see your father. Your reaction is so extreme, could it be..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, and Xu Tian pricked up his ears to listen carefully to what was happening outside.

"Could it be that your father isn't showing any signs of waking up yet, and you're stalling for time?"

Lin Wan'er said guiltily, "My father needs to rest. If you want to come, come tomorrow!"

"The group is not a place for you to play house and be willful. Personally, your father and I are sworn brothers, and I have an obligation to care about his health. Publicly, the Lin family cannot be without a leader for a single day, understand?"

Lin Wan'er blocked the ward with her entire body, saying, "What good will it do you to see? Can you take away his pain?"

Suddenly there was no sound outside the door.

Xu Tian couldn't help but wonder if these people had been intimidated by Lin Wan'er and left.

That's good, since he was afraid of being exposed.

Just as Xu Tian was feeling lucky, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

With a bang, several burly men burst in from outside the door.

Lin Wan'er rushed in immediately, but when she saw Lin Zhentian's unharmed face, she froze on the spot.

"Chairman Lin, we heard you were injured in the explosion, and we were the first to..."

The general manager, who supposedly had a life-and-death bond with Lin Zhentian, was also stunned.

A hint of hesitation flashed across his previously confident expression, followed by his pupils dilating infinitely.

It seems that no one expected that Lin Zhentian would be able to lie unharmed in the hospital room after experiencing an explosion.

Lin Zhentian looked at everyone with an imposing presence, though he wasn't angry.

The general manager was stunned. He stood there for a long time before managing to force a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Chairman Lin, are you...are you alright?"

Lin Zhentian looked at him. "What? You want something to happen to me?"

"No, no, what are you saying? We'd love to hear that you weren't injured!"

The general manager then spoke of "Lin Zhentian" as he approached, wanting to get closer to observe whether Lin Zhentian was an imposter.

Judging from his complexion and physical condition, the 'Lin Zhentian' in front of us was not injured at all, and there wasn't even a trace of bandaging.

This puzzled the general manager.

The reason why this explosion was so coincidental is self-evident.

He believed he had done everything perfectly and was confident that even if he didn't finish off Lin Zhentian, he would at least take half of his life.

But Lin Zhentian appeared in the ward unharmed.

Thinking about this, he felt something was wrong.

The people he had arranged at the scene clearly saw with their own eyes that Lin Zhentian's entire body was covered in shreds, even his clothes were torn to shreds, so how could he be completely unharmed?

The general manager's eyes darted back and forth across Lin Zhentian's face, a barely perceptible sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, he took a step forward and whispered almost into Lin Zhentian's ear.

"Chairman Lin, I heard the situation at the explosion site was horrific. Are you sure you weren't injured at all?"

Lin Zhentian's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface and responded with a cold laugh.

"Oh? From what you're saying, you're quite disappointed that you didn't see I was injured?"

The general manager chuckled, "Chairman Lin, you've misunderstood. Now that the group is in trouble, I need to ensure you have the ability to continue handling the group's affairs, as a way of giving the group an explanation."

Lin Zhentian's eyes were sharp as knives as he swept his gaze around the room, and the air in the ward seemed to freeze instantly.

He slowly sat up, each movement fluid and graceful. His imposing aura, though not angry, caused the burly men present to involuntarily take two steps back, their faces showing fear.

Lin Zhentian's voice was deep and powerful.

"I will handle the group's affairs myself. But what's the rush you're in? Are you trying to test me? Or do you have some other scheme behind this?"

After saying this, he slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacups to jump. Everyone trembled in fright, their faces turning pale and beads of sweat forming on their foreheads, fearing that Lin Zhentian's next question would plunge them into an abyss of no return.

The general manager was also intimidated by 'Lin Zhentian' at this moment, and dared not be as disrespectful as before. He quickly put on a smiling face and drove everyone out.

Only when Lin Wan'er and he were left alone in the room did he finally let go of the burden of being the general manager and put on a fawning smile.

"Wan'er, don't blame your uncle just now. Your uncle had no choice. The way he treated you outside was all for the people in the company to see."

Lin Wan'er snorted coldly and didn't say anything. Although she was also puzzled as to why her father, who was in critical condition yesterday, could appear in a regular ward today completely unharmed.

But with the general manager present, she couldn't ask any further questions.

The general manager was already used to Lin Wan'er's spoiled attitude. After saying a few words with a smile, he started chatting with 'Lin Zhentian' who was lying on the hospital bed.

"Brother Lin, please don't take what happened earlier to heart. You certainly know about the company's situation, even if Wan'er doesn't know about it."

Lin Zhentian was taken aback, his gaze sharp as he scrutinized the brother who had risked his life with him.

It seems there are smiling tigers everywhere, acting like completely different people in front of others and behind their backs.

"Brother Lin, judging from your condition, you should be able to go to the company tomorrow, right?"

Before 'Lin Zhentian' could speak, he hurriedly added, "Actually, you should be allowed to rest at home for a few days after experiencing such an accident, but the group is indeed facing troublesome problems right now."

"How about this, if you're comfortable with this, I'll handle the company matters for you these next few days and then report back to you as needed, okay?"

Lin Zhentian sneered inwardly. He had already seen that Lin Zhentian was safe and sound, yet Lin Zhentian still wanted to seize power. But how could he let Lin Zhentian have his way?

Lin Zhentian's lips curled into a meaningful smile, his eyes sharp as a hawk's.

"The group is going through a turbulent time and needs us to stand together, not for anyone to have ulterior motives."

His words fell softly, yet they stirred up ripples like a boulder thrown into a lake.

The general manager's face turned deathly pale instantly, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.

Seemingly struck by Lin Zhentian's words, he murmured a few times, but ultimately dared not mention taking over the company's affairs again. He could only awkwardly smile and try to use flattery to cover up his inner panic.

Seeing his state, 'Lin Zhentian' casually added.

"I was reviewing the company's accounts recently and it seems there's a problem somewhere. Are you aware of this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the general manager immediately stood up, looking at him nervously.

"Mr. Lin, I really didn't know about this, but since you've noticed the problem, I'll investigate immediately."

At this moment, 'Lin Zhentian' laughed.

"Don't be nervous. People who don't know better will think you did it..."

The general manager broke out in a cold sweat. "How could I do that? You've promoted me enough over the years. How could I do something so ungrateful?"

Lin Zhentian nodded in satisfaction, looking at him like he was looking at an obedient dog.
