Infinite Throne

Chapter 267 Shroud 9

"Dad..." Zhang Xiaohong's voice was weak, filled with confusion, fear, and anger. She should have asked, but she really couldn't say it.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yebai asked.

"I'm in the hospital, suffering from heavy metal poisoning..." Zhang Xiaohong wanted to ask clearly, but she was also worried that this matter had been premeditated.

She was sure that her daughter didn't know about it. At this time, Yingying was in class at school and had no idea that Zhang Xiaohong had entered the hospital. Recently, Yingying has become more and more sensible, and has begun to take the initiative to care about her mother. She is considerate and warm-hearted.

Were the vitamins that Yingying asked her to take every day, the health supplements that were given out to her in the first place? Did her father know about it and let Yingying do this on purpose?

Zhang Xiaohong's words were stuck in her throat, and she still didn't dare to ask.

"Dad..." She hesitated, then accused, and with a bit of complaint, asked: "Did you take the health care products I sent you?"

Lin Yebai had almost guessed that it was Yingying who gave the health products to her mother, and she must have changed the packaging.

"I didn't eat it. I'm old. It's a waste to eat it, so I asked Yingying to take it back."

Lin Yebai, like an ordinary old man, told Zhang Xiaohong: "Why do you ask this? I insisted on Yingying taking them back. Don't blame her. I think those two boxes of health care products are quite expensive. Just return them if you can." Don’t waste this money.”

"Oh...I know, Yingying is about to take the college entrance examination. I don't want to tell her about this. I have said that I am going out of town these days. If she asks, you can hide it for me."

Zhang Xiaohong was sure that her daughter was really unaware. When she asked Yingying to get up from bed this morning, she was still sleeping in and acting coquettishly as usual.

Sixteen or seventeen years old is the most carefree age. She shouldn't know this and what terrible things her mother has done.

"Okay, I won't tell Yingying." Lin Yebai agreed, and seemed to agree to a deeper request, not to tell Yingying the truth about the health products.

The moment he agreed, part of his resentment dissipated. Perhaps Zhang Xiaohong was self-defeating and reaped the consequences, which made old comrade Zhang Genshu relieved.

Zhang Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yingying didn't know, it would be fine. But my heart was still restless and uneasy.

Does Dad know about this? Has he seen this kind of health product before? Do the elderly friends he knows accidentally mention that taking certain health products can lead to heavy metal poisoning?

She didn't want to think about it deeply, but it was always replaying in her mind like a nightmare. Even if he knew that she had learned a lesson and took poisonous health products, her father would not call the police, which would completely destroy Yingying.

Dad may or may not know, and she didn't want to explore the issue. Whether you know it or not, this matter should remain a secret and only a secret.

Sometimes the bloody truth must be covered up so that the remaining people can live a good life. It seems that as long as it is not told, it never happened.

"Dad, please come and stay with me these days. I'm in the hospital and no one at home will cook for Yingying these days." Zhang Xiaohong wanted to observe again and test whether her old father knew the truth.

"I will move back to the old house in a few days and let Yingying eat at school." Lin Yebai had a basic understanding of the school. Every school has a canteen. It is impossible for Yingying to starve to death in just a few days.

"That's okay... just call me if you have anything. Call me if you need anything or want anything." Zhang Xiaohong's heart was half immersed in ice water and half in the oil pan. She was both frightened and anxious. A hatred without any reason. It was only a little bit successful, and I never expected that things would develop in this direction.

When she swung the sharp sword at her parents, she had no hesitation or regret. But when her daughter picked up the sharp weapon and pierced her body, she experienced the fear of death.

Heartbroken and terrified.

At the same time, he was worried that his daughter would be injured by a sharp object, so he tried every means to hide it.

Zhang Xiaohong wanted to leave the city and never see her father again. I also hope that my father will have an accident soon, so that no outsiders will ever know about the health care products.

Two brothers, Zhang Xiaoming and Zhang Xiaogang, made an appointment to come to the hospital for a physical check-up. When they turned the corner, they met Zhang Xiaohong who looked haggard.

"Why are you here?" The three of them were confused.

"Find a hospital bed to sit on?" Zhang Xiaoming suggested.

"Go to my place." Zhang Xiaohong came to the hospital for examination after she developed symptoms. She had acute renal failure and various symptoms of heavy metal poisoning. Treatment was timely. It was not too fatal and she would not die. However, her body had already produced permanent symptoms. Injury will affect future quality of life.

"What's going on with you two?"

"I have liver cancer." Zhang Xiaoming said frankly.

"I have lung cancer." Zhang Xiaogang made a habitual gesture of flicking cigarette ashes, but he had no cigarettes in his hand. After finding out that he had cancer, Zhang Xiaogang threw away all the cigarettes.

"Is this retribution?" Zhang Xiaohong murmured.

"What about you?" they asked.

"Food poisoning." Zhang Xiaohong still didn't tell the truth.

"Have you bought longevity insurance?" Zhang Xiaogang asked.

"No." Zhang Xiaohong glanced at them and didn't quite understand why they asked.

"Dad, did he do it on purpose..." Zhang Xiaoming was a little doubtful.

"Dad probably can't, he doesn't even understand these things." Although Zhang Xiaogang said this, he was a little doubtful.

They both tacitly concealed the fact that they had bought longevity insurance from Zhang Xiaohong, fearing that Zhang Xiaohong would do something bad if she knew about it.

"How is dad's health lately?" Zhang Xiaohong asked.

"Not very good." Zhang Xiaoming remembered the weak cough he heard last night and decided to continue to increase his efforts to send his old father away as soon as possible.

"Oh, send Dad to the hospital when it's time." Zhang Xiaohong didn't say anything else, chatted for a few more words, and watched them leave.

Did Dad know the truth? She was uneasy and didn't dare to ask. Would he call the police or pretend nothing happened? If Dad died of illness during this period, everything would be over without a trace.

Thinking of this, she actually hoped that her old father would die earlier. But she would not do anything to catalyze it, just wanting to maintain the surface calm.

"Let's have the operation as soon as possible, we can't delay it." Zhang Xiaogang planned to sell the family car and ask his wife for some money.

"I'll raise some money online." Zhang Xiaoming didn't have a wife, and he was sure that he couldn't get money from his ex-wife, so he simply applied for an account online and forwarded it everywhere to raise funds.

"How long can Dad last?" Zhang Xiaoming asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, it should be these few days..." Zhang Xiaogang was not sure.

They were all in a hurry to get money. When they got home, they found their old father counting newspapers in the living room. It was a big pile and he seemed to be sorting it.

"Dad, how are you today? Do you still have a headache?" Zhang Xiaoming asked with concern.

"Not bad."

"Go to bed early at night. It's easy to have headaches when you are old." Zhang Xiaogang was also very concerned, but he didn't mention sending his old father to the hospital for treatment.

That night, seeing that the lights were turned off in the side-lying room, Zhang Xiaogang quietly went in and found his old father lying on his side on the bed. He gently pulled the quilt down until his chest and back were exposed, and then he stopped.

Just as he was about to pull his hand back, a cold hand grabbed his wrist. Zhang Xiaogang suddenly lost color and wanted to break free but couldn't. An old man who was almost 80 years old was actually stronger than him!

The person on the bed had a blank expression on his face, a pair of eyes that were bottomless, and the strength in his hands increased. Zhang Xiaogang grimaced in pain and called out in a low voice:

"Dad——"

Lin Yebai picked up the crutches on the bedside and beat him all over the face.

Zhang Xiaogang kept crying and tried to defend himself: "Dad, I came to cover you with a quilt..."

"Dad..."

"Dad, stop hitting me, stop hitting me..."

[Gramophone]: I will beat you with a steel whip~ Beat you to death, you living bastard

[A mistake was made in the melon field]: Cuiguo, smash his mouth!

[Woo woo monster]: Woo woo woo The old father stayed up late at night to train his son's physique. It was so touching that it made me cry

Zhang Xiaoming heard the screams of a pig being slaughtered in the room, and walked to the door and looked in carefully. His old father looked obviously abnormal, his eyes did not move, his movements were stiff, and he did not respond no matter how Zhang Xiaogang called him, just like those sleepwalkers.

Zhang Xiaoming was absorbed in watching and analyzing the situation seriously. A hand pulled him in, and then Zhang Xiaoming also started to scream.

[Succubus Big Sister]: Treat everyone equally

[Super Rich Orange Seat]: The baby is becoming more and more like a father

[Truth First]: Don't run around at night. If you enter Linzi's room, you will probably get a beating

"Dad... Dad..."

"It's me... I'm Xiaoming..."

"Ah, I'm Xiaogang, stop beating me..."

The two men were howling so loudly that Lin Yebai finally stopped, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at his two sons blankly: "Why are you here?"

"Dad, I came to cover you with a blanket, and you beat me."

Zhang Xiaogang cried with snot and tears, and he was crying so sadly.

"What about you?" Lin Yebai asked Zhang Xiaoming again.

"He was watching the fun on the side, and you also pulled him in to beat him." Zhang Xiaogang explained quickly.

"I like to sleepwalk at night. It's an old problem. I'll lock the door at night from now on. Don't come in."

"When did this happen?" Zhang Xiaogang had never heard that his father had this disease.

"It hasn't happened for many years." Lin Yebai was also puzzled, and began to care for his two sons: "Let me see, is the injury serious?"

"Not serious, not serious, Dad, you go to sleep."

"We can just apply some safflower oil..."

The two burly men limped back to the master bedroom, feeling uncomfortable all over, and suffering in their hearts, unable to speak.

Lin Yebai noticed that the resentment had dissipated a little. It turned out that this was also useful. He had an idea and decided to start the plan to eliminate the resentment tomorrow.

Zhang Xiaogang and Zhang Xiaoming squeezed on a bed and suddenly shivered. They were at a loss about what happened tonight.

Big, hateful, and helpless.

"Dad is in good health."

"Maybe it's sleepwalking. It is said that sleepwalking can do things that can't be done normally..."

"Will we all die and Dad is still alive?" Zhang Xiaoming suddenly asked. Although my father had been hospitalized for cerebral thrombosis and had heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, an old man like him might survive, and some could live to be over ninety years old.

"What should we do then?" Zhang Xiaogang asked.

"Alas..." Zhang Xiaoming sighed. No one wants to be known as a murderer, because that would end everything.

The next day, when Lin Yebai went out with the bag, he found that someone had poured oil into the stairs. If he hadn't been stable, he would have fallen.

In addition to him, there were other elderly people living in this building. Lin Yebai forcibly woke up Zhang Xiaogang and Zhang Xiaoming and asked them to clean up the oil in the corridor.

"Too immoral."

"The moral character is extremely corrupt."

"It seriously affects public safety. You can check the surveillance..." Lin Yebai was not very good at scolding people. He had a serious expression and supervised his two sons to work.

"Dad, leave it to us, you go out and play." Zhang Xiaogang hurriedly persuaded Lin Yebai to leave.

"Dad, don't be late, the aunties in the park are waiting." Zhang Xiaoming also urged.

Lin Yebai glared at them and left with the bag.
