A Valiant Life
chapter-945

The hospital.

The atmosphere on site was stifling. Zhao Li Xing and the rest, as his children, had been standing by their father's side the whole time. To them, this might be their last time seeing their father.

Hence, at this moment, they had set aside all their work.

Elder Mu and the rest visited the hospital every day too to accompany Zhao Ming Qing. After so many years of friendship, suddenly, they only had a limited number of days left together. They all felt that it was unbearable.

But fortunately, Elder Zhao was calm and steady. He wasn't in any pain. This at least made them feel better.

Outside.

"What do you think you're doing?" Zhao Li Xing had gone into a quarrel with a group of people at the entrance.

"Hello, these are our credentials." The middle-aged man had brought his people with him to the hospital. When Zhao Li Xing stopped him, he didn't retaliate but just took out his credentials.

Zhao Li Xing looked at the credentials and his emotions settled down. "May I know what you're here for?"

"We want to know where Master Lin is," said the middle-aged man. He had come from Beijing to bring Master Lin there.

Zhao Li Xing shook his head. "We don't know where Master Lin is either. Ever since my father was admitted to the hospital, we haven't been able to contact him."

Chen Xiang Bei's brows furrowed, appearing not to believe him. "Then allow us to disturb you for a moment. We would like to have a few words with Mister Elder Zhao."

Hearing that, Zhao Li Xing immediately blocked the entrance. "No. My dad is in a terrible state. He cannot be disturbed."

"Mister Zhao, I hope that you can understand. This matter is very important. I have to know where Master Lin is. Right now, I'm afraid only Mister Elder Zhao would know. We would like to speak to him," said Chen Xiang Bei.

Zhao Li Xing said, "My dad doesn't even know. He's waiting for Master Lin as we speak. My dad is Master Lin's disciple and, in his last moments, he wants to see his teacher once more. Please don't disturb him. Is that alright?"

"Brother, what's going on?" Zhao Qun Fang came from afar and asked suspiciously.

Seeing these big men standing outside the entrance, she felt that something wasn't right.

Zhao Li Xing gave his sister a brief explanation. When Zhao Qun Fang heard about the opposite party's identities, she was startled. But their father's situation was really not good, how could he have the strength to answer their questions? Of course, she would not agree.

"Everyone, you cannot go in. We are telling the truth. We really don't know where Master Lin is," said Zhao Qun Fang.

Chen Xiang Bei seemed not to believe them. "Then please excuse me." Then, he shifted his eyes to the side.

"What do you think you're doing?" Zhao Li Xing was startled. He struggled but he was being held down by the man next to him. He couldn't even move.

"Don't worry, we won't disturb Mister Elder Zhao. We just want to ask a few questions," said Chen Xiang Bei. Then, he pushed open the door and entered. When he saw Zhao Shi inside, he nodded at her. Then, he moved a stool to the bedside and sat down.

He looked at Mister Elder Zhao on the bed, lying with his eyes closed. This was the Director Zhao who had contributed to the development of the anorexia and leukemia prescriptions.

But even if his medical ability was even greater, when his time ran out, he would be unable to be revived.

"Mister Elder Zhao, can you hear me? I'm Chen Xiang Bei. I came from Beijing and I have an important matter that requires me to look for Master Lin. Do you know where he is?" Chen Xiang Bei asked.

But Zhao Ming Qing, who was lying on the bed, did not respond at all. His eyes did not even blink. If the machine by the side did not indicate his heartbeat, Chen Xiang Bei would've thought he was already dead.

"Mister Elder Zhao, did you hear me?" asked Chen Xiang Bei once more.

Zhao Shi walked over. "My husband is asleep. Please do not disturb him."

Chen Xiang Bei said, "I'm sorry, please understand. I have to find Master Lin."

"Please leave," Zhao Shi requested again.

Outside, Zhao Li Xing and Zhao Qun Fang were being held down but they didn't scream or shout as they were afraid of disturbing their father.

At that moment, Elder Mu came from afar. When he saw Zhao Li Xing and Zhao Qun Fang being held down, he rushed over.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Elder Mu demanded sternly. This was a hospital, how could there be such people here? And when he looked inside the ward, he realized that there was a stranger inside.

And he saw that Zhao Shi seemed to be controlling her rage and negotiating with the man.

"Who are you?" Elder Mu went in and asked with a hushed voice.

Chen Xiang Bei took out his credentials and showed them to Elder Mu.

When Elder Mu saw them, he furrowed his brows. He hadn't expected them to be important people. But even after he saw it, he still asked, "Please leave. Don't disturb my friend."

Chen Xiang Bei furrowed his brows and was about to speak.

"Please leave." Elder Mu repeated sternly. He hadn't thought that these people would be so outrageous, to charge into this place just for their own selfish reasons despite knowing that his friend was on the verge of dying. It was simply outrageous.

Then, at this moment, a voice rang out from outside.

"Master Lin…"

Chen Xiang Bei was just about to negotiate with Elder Mu when he heard this voice. He immediately went into the corridor. When he saw a young man walking from the distance, he was slightly puzzled. But when he recalled that image in his mind, he could confirm that this man was Master Lin. This was his target.

When Lin Fan reached the hospital, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. I've finally f*cking made it.

This life shouldn't go yet. God, please do me this favor.

As Lin Fan was about to enter the ward, Chen Xiang Bei quickly opened his mouth. "Master Lin, I…"

But this sentence wasn't completed. Lin Fan just passed by him, completely ignoring him as he rushed into the ward to Zhao Ming Qing's side.

Zhao Ming Qing, who had been asleep the whole time, seemed to have sensed that his teacher was here. He slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that face by his bed, he let out a smile as he spoke weakly.

"Teacher...you're here."

Lin Fan smiled. "Mmm, I'm here. Can you hold on for a while more?"

Zhao Ming Qing smiled back and, as if using all his strength, he answered, "I can…"

But this was just Zhao Ming Qing's will. With his body in this state, he might not be able to.

Zhao Shi said eagerly, "Master Lin, he…"

Lin Fan waved his hand. With a face full of confidence, he gestured for Zhao Shi not to speak. "Ming Qing, this time, you cannot leave yet. Since you've been able to endure until I came, what does that mean? That means that our destiny as teacher and disciple isn't over yet, doesn't it?"

"Right." Zhao Ming Qing couldn't say too much. Every word took all of his strength to utter.

"Master Lin, please come with me." Chen Xiang Bei came to Lin Fan's side and placed a hand on his shoulder.

But in the blink of an eye, Chen Xiang Bei suddenly felt like his body was in mid-air. Then, he flew into the corridor outside.

*Crash!*

He slammed into the corridor wall with a look of disbelief on his face.

He had no idea what had happened. Why did I suddenly fly out here?
