Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen was excitedly heading home, but as he arrived at the entrance to his residential area, he suddenly stopped.

He saw a mess at the side of the road: a small breakfast cart overturned with baozi and soy milk scattered all over. There were even droplets of blood on the ground.

He recognized the cart all too well – it was his father Lin Liye’s breakfast cart. This inconspicuous cart had supported Lin Zhen’s education for many years, and it was the foundation of their family’s livelihood.

This scene didn’t happen in his previous life!

Lin Zhen felt a surge of fear in his heart, and after glancing left and right, he spotted his neighbor Aunt Wang among the onlookers. He quickly ran over to her: “Aunt Wang, what happened?”

Seeing it was Lin Zhen, Aunt Wang hurriedly told him: “Lin Zhen, thank goodness you’re back! Your father was beaten by some thugs. He’s in the hospital now, at the Jisheng Chinese Medicine Hospital just north of our community. You should go see him quickly!”

Without another word, Lin Zhen turned and ran towards the north.

Jisheng Hall was a low-grade hospital nearby and was mostly frequented by the poor. Lin Zhen sprinted at a 100-meter dash speed, covering each 100 meters in less than eight seconds. In less than three minutes, he arrived at the entrance of Jisheng Hall.

“Excuse me, there’s a man named Lin Liye who was just admitted to the hospital. Where is he now?”

“Let me check for you.”

The nurse at the door opened her book and looked it over: “Lin Liye, right? He has a fractured skull and two broken ribs. He’s just been treated and is now in the surgical ward on the third floor. You should go look for him there.”

Lin Zhen didn’t even take the elevator; in a few steps, he ran up to the third floor and headed straight for the surgical ward.

Upon arriving at the ward area, Lin Zhen spotted his parents right away.

Li Qin was holding an IV drip and sitting in the corridor, looking for a spot to hang it up. Lin Liye was laying down in the corridor with a dirty blanket underneath him, his head wrapped in bandages stained with blood, and his eyes tightly shut.

Pain welled up in Lin Zhen’s heart as he hurriedly ran over and took the IV drip from Li Qin’s hands: “Mom! What happened?”

Before Li Qin could answer, Lin Liye opened his eyes upon hearing the sound.

“My son is back. Tell me, how did your graduation exam go?”

Since Lin Zhen had changed out of his Gale Martial Arts Hall uniform and back into his usual clothes, Lin Liye didn’t know that Lin Zhen had already joined Gale.

Relieved that his father’s condition didn’t seem too severe, Lin Zhen forced a smile: “It went great, Dad. I’ve joined Gale Martial Arts Hall as a second-class student. They’ve signed a contract with me, giving us a monthly salary of 500,000 and a private villa to live in. They’ve even addressed your retirement issues, and someone will be coming to get your signatures in the next couple of days.”

Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, both Lin Liye and Li Qin’s eyes lit up with waves of surprise, and they were both rendered speechless by the immense joy that hit their hearts.

“Who are you looking for? Need a change of dressing?” a nurse asked without looking up.

“I’m Lin Liye’s family member. I need you to find a ward for him, a single room.”

The young nurse looked up at Lin Zhen, her eyes filled with surprise and disdain.

Lin Zhen was about 1.78 meters tall, not exceptionally tall, but with an upright posture and a cold, handsome face. Due to practicing Mental Power, his eyes were clear and bright when his emotions fluctuated, even giving off a somewhat dazzling feeling.

Such a person, although dressed simply, exuded a strong masculine presence wherever he stood, making others unable to look directly at him.

However, Lin Zhen’s attire was too ordinary; the nurse could tell at a glance that he was definitely from a nearby residential area, a civilian, one of the lowest people.

No matter how good-looking someone was, without money or power, they would still be looked down upon. The nurse sneered, “There are no single rooms left. There are no beds in the ordinary wards either. Can’t you see how many people are getting injections in the corridor?”

“My father has sustained a head injury and broken ribs. How can such an environment be conducive to his recovery? He needs a private room.” Anger already surged in Lin Zhen’s heart. Even in his previous life, he had reached the Star Realm and had cultivated for countless years, making him feel superior to ordinary people like ants. If it weren’t for his concern for his father, he would have exploded already.

To his surprise, the nurse sneered, “Distressed by the corridor environment? If you’re unhappy with it, you can change the place. The Ice City Hospital in Jiangbei is good. Can you afford it?”

Facing the nurse’s sarcasm, Lin Zhen took a deep breath: “I saw someone with the surname Liu entry after my dad and got a single room. So don’t tell me there are no single rooms. Now I’m asking you, can you arrange a room for my dad?”

As he spoke, wisps of Spiritual Power leaked out uncontrollably, albeit slowly and in a low tone, giving an oppressive feeling.

The nurse instinctively felt intimidated. No matter how arrogant she was, she was still just an ordinary girl, incapable of withstanding the fury of Lin Zhen. Her voice lowered, “If it’s an ordinary ward arrangement, the doctors can decide. But for a single room, it’s up to the director.”

“Take me to your director.”

Lin Zhen controlled his emotions, not wanting to waste his breath on the nurse.

The nurse reluctantly stood up and took a slow step forward.

“Hurry up!” Lin Zhen shouted, and the nurse shuddered, quickening her pace.

When they arrived at the director’s office, the nurse’s courage seemed to return. After knocking twice on the door, she pushed it open.

“Director Wang, there’s a patient’s family member here who insists on finding a single room for his father. I told him there are no single rooms left, but he still came to the nurse station throwing a tantrum. I’m scared…”

As she spoke, the little nurse’s eyes reddened, looking pitifully at Director Wang.

Director Wang was a plump middle-aged man who did not immediately comfort the little nurse but asked first, “Who is the patient?”

“It’s not anyone remarkable, just the old man who sells baozi and soy milk in our neighborhood every morning. His son says Mr. Liu arrived later and got a single room. Why can’t his father have one too?” The little nurse wiped her tears with disdain in her tone.

Upon hearing the nurse’s words, Director Wang let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Lin Zhen enter the room, his face turned cold.
