Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Patricide
The person who instructed Cao Ruibin must have promised him a lot of benefits, which is why he dared to take the risk, wrestle with the Kong Family, and smear them at any cost.
Yang Cheng had a bad premonition in his heart, and the car shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
...
At this moment in Zhonghai City Hospital.
Kong Jingshan stood with a group of people guarding the entrances of various wards, constantly checking the time.
There was no news from Yang Cheng and Kong Lingwen, which left him uneasy, always with a sense of foreboding.
At this moment, footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Kong Jingshan looked up happily, only to have his newly raised smile freeze on his face.
"Why are you here?"
He asked irritably.
Seeing his expression change as if flipping a face, Kong Lingchuan’s eyes flashed with a chill, and he spoke, "I heard you called everyone to the hospital, worried something might happen, so I came to check."
"We don’t need you here, go back to the company."
Kong Jingshan said coldly.
This cold attitude immediately angered Kong Lingchuan, who shouted in anger, "Dad! Am I still your son? Ever since Kong Lingwen came back, she’s the only one you see, you’ve completely forgotten about your son!"
"Do you have me, as your father, in your heart?"
Kong Jingshan stood up to question, his eyes full of disappointment.
Facing his gaze, Kong Lingchuan felt inexplicably guilty, but thinking of the unfair treatment he received, he regained his confidence and spoke up, "Of course I do. I have admired you ever since I was little, hoping to be like you, to become the Family Head and manage the entire Kong Family, but how have you treated me!"
"You genuinely love Kong Lingwen, but because you despise my mom, you ignore me too. Yet I am also your flesh and blood, I am currently the Kong Family’s only male heir, and you want to make a woman the Family Head, which is an insult to me."
"Do you know that the people in Zhonghai are all laughing at me, saying I’m a waste, otherwise how could the position of Family Head go to my sister? You have never considered my feelings."
Kong Jingshan looked at his son and sighed helplessly, "Ling Chuan, maybe I am somewhat biased, but with regards to the Family Head position, I made the right decision. Although Ling Wen is a woman, she has business acumen, she is ambitious, and the Kong Family will certainly flourish in her hands."
"And you are not suitable to become the Family Head. Even if you were to take that position, no one would genuinely respect you, so I’ve given you sufficient shares. As long as the Kong Family stands, you will enjoy a lifetime of abundance and worry-free life, isn’t that good?"
"It’s not!"
Kong Lingchuan shouted in anger, startling everyone around, causing them to look over.
He was not willing to admit being inferior to Kong Lingwen. Clearly, both were offspring of the Kong Family; since childhood, the sister excelled in her results, succeeded easily in everything, grandpa and dad both liked her, while he never made anything of himself, not even securing the position of Family Head that should have been his.
The more he thought, the more hatred filled his heart. Just like his uncle said, if Kong Lingwen wasn’t happy, he might not even get a penny, and he was unwilling to live under her mercy in the future.
"Ling Chuan, I understand you’re feeling unbalanced. You’re too young now, perhaps unable to understand me, but if you were truly to become Family Head, you’d regret it in the future."
No matter what Kong Jingshan said now, Kong Lingchuan couldn’t listen anymore.
He put his hand into his pocket and felt the syringe, which Cao Ruibin had given him, just a injection to his father would put him in a coma.
Then the Kong Family would be in chaos, and with the support of the Cao Family, he would surely be elected as the next Family Head.
Of course, as a brother, he wouldn’t be so cruel as to eliminate them completely. As long as Kong Lingwen left Zhonghai, he would spare her.
"Ling Chuan, I know what you’ve done, and the reason I haven’t exposed you is I hope you turn back; there’s still time to change. But if you persist in refusing to see the truth, I won’t be able to save you either."
Kong Jingshan advised with heartfelt earnestness because his own son broke his heart.
"Dad, I’m sorry."
Kong Lingchuan slowly said.
Hearing this, joy filled Kong Jingshan’s heart, thinking his son finally understood, yet he failed to notice the darkness in Kong Lingchuan’s eyes.
The father and son spoke in whispers, and the bodyguards did not come over to disturb them but guarded the exit to the corridor, observing for any suspicious people.
No one realized the greatest danger was Kong Lingchuan himself. He took the syringe out of his pocket, took a deep breath, and jabbed it towards Kong Jingshan’s neck.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly dashed in, the bodyguards didn’t see clearly who it was, only felt a rush of wind sweep by.
Yang Cheng grabbed Kong Lingchuan’s hand, snatched the syringe from him, then kicked him in the abdomen.
Kong Lingchuan, unprepared, was slammed into the wall, feeling his internal organs shifting.
Everything happened too swiftly. When the others reacted, they discovered Yang Cheng had returned.
Kong Jingshan, astonished, asked, "Xiaochen, you’re back. What happened here?"
He hadn’t seen what Kong Lingchuan had done, and didn’t understand why Yang Cheng suddenly kicked his son.
"Uncle Kong, if I had come a moment later, this thing would have been injected into your body."
Yang Cheng lifted the syringe in his hand, pointing towards the slumped Kong Lingchuan.
"What are you saying?"
Kong Jingshan’s eyes widened in disbelief, immediately waving his hand saying, "That’s impossible! Ling Chuan is my son, even if we have disputes as father and son, he wouldn’t do that to me."
"I saw it with my own eyes."
As Yang Cheng finished speaking, Kong Lingwen, accompanied by Wen Xu, hurried over.
As soon as the car stopped at the hospital entrance, Yang Cheng dashed ahead, while taking the elevator they were still slower.
Seeing her father and Yang Cheng looking gravely, Kong Lingwen frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"Kong Lingchuan tried to poison Uncle Kong; I caught him red-handed."
Hearing this, Kong Lingwen was stunned and immediately rushed over to grab Kong Lingchuan’s collar, slapping his face several times.
"Kong Lingchuan, are you crazy? How dare you poison dad?"
"Are you even human? What did dad do to deserve this from you?"
Kong Lingchuan was bewildered by the beatings, displaying red palm marks on his face, and scratches left by fingernails.
But he quickly recovered, forcefully pushing Kong Lingwen away. Unprepared, she staggered back.
Yang Cheng caught her around the waist, helping her to stand firm, his gaze icy as he looked at Kong Lingchuan.
On the way back, he had imagined many possibilities, but never expected that Cao Ruibin would instigate Kong Lingchuan into patricide.
"I didn’t poison him; it’s just a bit of sedative. Who told him to be so biased, focusing solely on promoting you to the position of Family Head!"
Kong Lingchuan shouted angrily, his eyes bloodshot, full of resentment.
