Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 405 Murmurs by the Sickbed

At the same moment, a dejected Lin Chao returned to the hotel once again.

"How did it go, is the matter resolved?"

Lin Wenlong asked coldly.

"I’m sorry, Father. I searched everywhere possible, but there wasn’t a single clue."

Lin Chao shook his head.

"Do you understand the consequences if someone with an ulterior motive finds that secretary?"

Lin Wenlong asked again.

"I’m sorry, Father."

Lin Chao nodded, how could he not understand the consequences if that secretary were caught?

He hadn’t expected that secretary to be so clever. Right after she had finished her task, she fled, even evading the people he had sent to watch her.

Moreover, he had searched all the places associated with the secretary, and found not a trace!

Lin Wenlong lit a cigar and furrowed his brows, things had already come to this, blaming his son any further was pointless.

The key question now was, what should be done next?

They had already come this far, retreating was no longer an option!

"Father, what do we do now? Should we pull back?"

Lin Chao asked anxiously.

"Pull back? You tell me, how can we pull back now?"

Lin Wenlong said through gritted teeth, a ruthless light flashing in his eyes:

"We go back immediately, deal with the family members. If they want any benefits, as long as their demands aren’t outrageous, agree to them!"

"Yes!"

Lin Chao immediately replied, an excited expression on his face, as if he had seen a golden path shining before him...

Because he knew, if there was to be a change of leadership, it couldn’t possibly be his father, it had to be him being elevated to the position!

After Su Chen went to the estate, Xu Xinran was not there, probably already at work. He first made himself a bowl of noodles, ate, and then immediately went to the room he used for cultivation to practice.

After a night of cultivation, the True Yuan inside Su Chen had recovered to over one-third of what it was before. Such rapid progress was due in part to the domineering mystery of the Nine Yang Divine Technique, and partly thanks to the abundant True Yuan at Jiangyang Lake.

Su Chen had always found it strange that there was so much True Yuan here at Jiangyang Lake, especially around his estate.

Initially, he thought it was due to the estate being near the lake with abundant water sources, but the longer he cultivated here, the more he felt there was something off.

Even with abundant water, the True Yuan shouldn’t be so rich.

However, he had never explored the real reason behind it. He planned to investigate thoroughly when he had the time, as there might be unexpected discoveries.

After a night of persistent cultivation, not only had a good amount of True Yuan been restored in his body, but his complexion and various bodily functions had also improved considerably.

Although he could not compare to his usual self, he was no longer as weak...

After finishing his cultivation, Su Chen took a quick shower. It was already three or four in the afternoon. He immediately drove to the hospital, still uneasy about Lin Ruoxue’s condition.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Gu Ming was still unmovable like a mountain guarding the entrance to the ward, while Lin Wenqing was inside caring for Lin Ruoxue.

"Has anyone come looking for trouble?"

Su Chen walked over to Gu Ming and asked.

"That doctor woke up and did make some trouble, but I’ve taken care of it."

Gu Ming briefly explained.

Su Chen nodded and pushed the door to enter:

"Dad, has Ruoxue woken up yet?"

"Not yet."

Lin Wenqing shook his head in dismay:

"Su Chen, why do you think this is happening?"

Su Chen was also surprised, Lin Ruoxue still hadn’t woken up.

"Let me check on Ruoxue first."

As he spoke, Su Chen took out a long silver needle and inserted it into Lin Ruoxue’s body, finding the toxins were completely gone.

Then he checked her other vital signs, which were completely normal.

Finally, he checked the brain waves in Lin Ruoxue’s brain and discovered they were no different from those of a normal person.

"There’s no problem at all, this doesn’t make sense!"

Su Chen’s brows furrowed deeply, as this was a situation he had never encountered before.

Even though he was the Ghost Doctor, he needed to find the problem to prescribe the right remedy. Now, without even knowing what the issue was, how could he solve it?

"Let’s wait a little longer," Su Chen comforted Lin Wenqing. "Trust in Ruoxue, she will definitely wake up."

"I believe it!"

Lin Wenqing nodded firmly.

"Dad, you’ve been here for such a long time; you should go back and get some rest."

Seeing his haggard appearance, Su Chen said, because Lin Wenqing was already over fifty years old, staying up so long, coupled with all the upset from the previous day, his body surely couldn’t take it.

"I’m fine, I’ll stay with Ruoxue."

Lin Wenqing refused.

"Dad, we don’t know how long Ruoxue will be unconscious. If you collapse, who’ll take care of Ruoxue then?"

After listening to Su Chen’s words, Lin Wenqing finally stood up and slowly walked out of the ward, seeming to have aged several years overnight.

"Gu Ming, you go back too; I’m here, and that is enough."

"Mr. Su, no need, I’m okay."

Su Chen had instructed him not to call him master in Jianghai but to call him Mr. Su instead.

"This is an order!"

"Yes!"

"Alright, go back and sleep for a few hours before you come back."

Su Chen said, knowing that Gu Ming could hold up for a few days without trouble, but since he was here, there was no need for him to stay.

"Honey, do you know, you really scared the hell out of me yesterday!"

Su Chen murmured to Lin Ruoxue lying in the hospital bed, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Wife, how can you always be so cold, so ice-cold even when sleeping, like you are the reincarnation of an iceberg?"

"Honey, please wake up. It’s such a loss to have a beautiful wife like you and we’ve never even had the chance to do what couples do, don’t you think?"

"Wife, are you just too tired and want to sleep a bit longer? It’s okay to sleep a bit more, but you must wake up. If you don’t, where would I find someone to freeload off?"

"Wife, let me tell you, don’t think your husband is all nonchalant, but there are plenty of women out there who have their eyes on me. If a man as outstanding as me is snatched away by another woman, you’ll have nowhere even to cry!"

"Honey, please wake up quickly!"

.....

And so, Su Chen rambled on endlessly at Lin Ruoxue’s bedside, and eventually, even he didn’t know what he was saying anymore...

But Lin Ruoxue on the hospital bed remained silently lying there, without the slightest response...
