An urgent alarm sounded.

In the ward, where there were only the sounds of footsteps and breathing, it seemed exceptionally jarring.

The doctor monitoring Old Master Fu’s heartbeat looked over and his complexion changed in an instant.

Although Old Master Fu’s heartbeat was weak earlier, it still existed, and the electrocardiogram was very steady.

But now, the lines on the electrocardiogram machine had flattened.

Cardiac arrest!

“Quick!” the attending physician urgently took the defibrillator from the nurse and immediately began to resuscitate Old Master Fu.

Outside the ICU.

Madam Fu, having finished scolding Fu Yichen, returned to Fu Mingcheng’s side and whispered at the lowest volume, “Mingcheng, I’m afraid the old master really won’t pull through this time.”

Everyone knew about Old Master Fu’s poor health.

He had endured disasters and famine, and Shanghai City was quite turbulent during that era.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

While covering for a junior’s escape, Old Master Fu was seriously injured, nearly fatally so.

Fortunately, at that time, Mu Heqing, the ruler of the Imperial Capital’s Mu Family, just happened to be in Shanghai City directing operations and rescued Old Master Fu.

However, as a result, his health suffered considerably.

Originally, with the Fu Family’s resources, he could have recovered.

But the trouble started 20 years ago.

For some unknown reason, Old Master Fu’s health took a sharp downturn once again.

Over the years, his life was sustained solely by the hospital’s expensive medications.

Three years ago, everyone in Shanghai City said that with Old Master Fu’s passing, the city’s power dynamics were bound to be greatly shaken up.

But, contrary to expectations, these three years turned out to be when Old Master Fu’s health was at its best.

Fu Mingcheng’s expression was inscrutable, “After so many years of struggle, it’s time for the old master to rest.”

He knew very well for whom Old Master Fu had been holding on until now.

While the Fu family members each harbored their own thoughts, the ICU’s door opened, and a nurse rushed out.

“Where are the family members?” She waved a piece of paper in her hand, anxious, “Critical condition notice, please sign it.”

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Fu family members changed instantly.

This wasn’t the first critical condition notice from the hospital, but this time it was the fastest.

In the end, Old Master Fu had reached this point.

“Here.” Fu Mingcheng took the critical condition notice, glanced at it, then prepared to sign it with a pen.

But he had only made the first stroke of his family name when, suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor.

They were rapid but orderly.

Fu Mingcheng looked up, surprised.

Leading them was a young man, followed by several bodyguards and a group of doctors.

But those doctors were clearly not from the First Hospital.

Upon arriving in front of the ICU, the young man didn’t even look at Fu Mingcheng but immediately ordered the people behind him, “Start the transfer now.”

The Fu family members hadn’t yet reacted when that group of doctors had already entered the ICU.

It didn’t take long for them to rush out with Old Master Fu, bed and all, heading swiftly outside.

“What are you doing?!” Fu Mingcheng was both shocked and angry, “Who are you people? You’re transferring him just like that? Why should I let you take away my father?”

“Because you’re of no use,” the young man turned back with a cold sneer, “Since he can’t be saved here, you might as well try to stop us.”

Fu Mingcheng’s complexion changed.

As if he recalled something, he didn’t step forward but stood in place, fists clenched, as veins throbbed violently at his temples.

The several towering bodyguards further intimidated the other Fu family members from approaching.

Yichen took a few steps before halting again.

His gaze swept over the Fu family members, finally settling on Fu Yichen.

“Take him too.”

Still in shock, Fu Yichen was taken away by two bodyguards without any chance to struggle.

This show of force left the other Fu family members completely stunned.

“Yichen!” Madam Fu turned pale and chased after them, “Where are you taking my son?”

“Madam Fu, don’t worry,” the young man turned back with a slight smile, “as long as the old master is fine, your second son will be returned to you safe and sound. But if anything happens to the old master—”

He lifted his hand to his throat and made a slicing motion, “You’d better wait.”

Madam Fu fainted on the spot, turning the hospital into a scene of chaos.

When she finally came to, she grabbed Fu Mingcheng, her voice trembling, “Mingcheng, are those people, could they be…?”

“It must be them,” Fu Mingcheng said with a heavy gaze, “they haven’t shown up for three years, and now they’re back.”

He had people look into them, but couldn’t even find their names.

He had also asked Old Master Fu about them over these three years, but Old Master Fu played dumb and acted unclear each time.

Mingcheng’s face grew even more terrible as he thought back on the events of twenty years prior.

**

Ten minutes later.

Eastern Shanghai City.

“`

This is a private hospital.

Three years ago, Old Master Fu was transferred here, and that’s how he was able to recover.

This group of doctors came from the O continent, among whom a few are top-tier on the international level.

Even so, they were somewhat helpless with Old Master Fu’s condition.

If it were just an ordinary illness, it might have been better, but the problem was the poison within Old Master Fu’s body.

Unheard of, unseen before.

Not to mention finding an antidote.

“Young Master, it’s still no use. As soon as our people come into contact with the poison inside Old Master Fu, the toxin becomes particularly active,” the young man frowned, “I suspect it’s because the ones who poisoned him have noticed.”

They had long confirmed that the toxin in Old Master Fu’s body was definitely concocted by a Poison Master.

And furthermore, certainly ranked in the top five on the Poison Master Ranking!

The poisons made by these high-ranking Poison Masters all have very distinct personal characteristics.

Not only that, the antidote is available only from them personally.

The third-ranked Poison Master might not necessarily be able to neutralize the poison configured by the fourth-ranked.

The toxin in Old Master Fu’s body is somewhat similar to the living Gu poison of the Miao nationality in Hua Country.

This time, it had completely come to life.

So, as soon as the doctors attempted to remove the poison, the Poison Master could sense it directly through the toxin.

Before, they had requested the third-ranked Poison Master on the NOK forum to take action, but still failed to resolve the toxin.

As for the second-ranked Poison Master, he had never appeared on the NOK forum and didn’t have an account, but there were still traces of him.

They suspected that the poison in Old Master Fu’s body was concocted by the second-ranked Poison Master, but whether or not ‘he’ was the one who administered it was unknown.

The Anonymous Hackers Alliance once tracked down the second-ranked Poison Master, but instead, several hackers died.

And that was from a distance of thousands of kilometers away.

If the second-ranked Poison Master is already this frightening, what about the first-ranked?

Regrettably, the first-ranked Poison Master left no trace at all.

Many big names on the NOK forum were certain there was no such thing as a first-ranked.

Fu Yunshen’s expression didn’t change much, but the air pressure around him was extremely low.

His normally smiling peachy eyes also slowly iced over.

“What are the chances?”

This time the toxin had completely revived, which obviously attracted the attention of the Poison Master.

As long as it was not removed, there would be no issue.

If removed, this Poison Master would undoubtedly take action.

Fu Yunshen also believed that Ying Zijin would certainly have a solution, but this would also involve her.

Nonetheless, he no longer wanted to drag other people into this.

He didn’t care, even his life could be given away.

He had intended to wait until the toxin was most stable before removing it, but he hadn’t expected it to surge so violently.

The young man was silent for a moment before he spoke with difficulty, “0.01 percent.”

This probability was essentially no different from zero.

Not to mention, even surgeries with a 90% success rate can fail.

Fu Yunshen braced himself against the wall, his eyelashes lowered.

After a long moment, he let out a low chuckle.

When he looked up again, the smile on his lips had disappeared, leaving a chilly expression.

He said, “Take me to the operating room.”

The young man was taken aback and blurted out, “Young Master!”

He knew that the reason Old Master Fu was poisoned was related to Fu Yunshen.

That incident from twenty years ago…

Nobody wanted to bring it up.

“Young Master, Old Master Fu definitely wouldn’t want you to exchange your life for his, he did it all for you,” the young man urged frantically, “Moreover, even if you transfer the poison to your own body, Old Master Fu’s heart vessels have already been corroded by the toxin, and there’s no… ”

Fu Yunshen gave him a look and repeated, “Take me in.”

His tone left no room for doubt.

The young man knew he had no reason to stop him and no power to do so, so he had to agree.

The doctors who took orders didn’t say much either.

The operating room was divided into two sections, separated by curtains.

Old Master Fu’s body was already depleted and could no longer satisfy the toxins.

A young and healthy body would be just right.

Barely any effort was needed.

The doctors set up the equipment, adjusted the indicators, and prepared to perform the toxin transfer.

The young man stood outside the operating room anxious and angry. He took out his cellphone and was about to make a call to the O continent.

But at that moment, a figure entered from the main entrance.

Their footsteps were hurried, clearly in a rush.

The young man heard the sound and lifted his head, instantly stunned to stillness.

“You, you are…”
