CHAPTER 5 - THE NINE NEEDLES OF GHOST VALLEY
"What did you say? Someone can save Grandpa?" Upon hearing hope, Hong Lin immediately grabbed Hong Ying's arm.
"I'm not entirely sure if he can save him, but when I was in the park earlier, he instantly recognized that Grandpa had been poisoned with a complex toxin. He even claimed he was the only one who could save him," Hong Ying relayed the whole incident. After listening, everyone found it ludicrous.
"Ying, I hate to say this, but the man is deranged. And you believe him?" The one who spoke was Hong Shiwen's third son, Hong Quan.
"But…"
"There are no 'buts.' Grandpa only has three days left. Let's discuss how to divide the inheritance," Hong Quan interrupted Hong Ying.
Hong Shiwen had three children: Hong Lin, Hong Quan, and a daughter named Hong Qiqi. Among them, Hong Quan was the least accomplished and not highly regarded by his father. Now that Hong Shiwen was in danger, his first thought was about dividing the family assets.
"I'm going to find him to save Grandpa…"
Suddenly, Hong Ying spoke up and then quickly left the room. Hong Lin wanted to follow her but reconsidered when he thought about his father's condition.

Hong Ying took a taxi to the park, emptying the trash bin contents to search for the phone number Wang Lin had left earlier. At this moment, she deeply regretted not saving the number. If she couldn't find it now, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Fortunately, luck was on Hong Ying's side. After rummaging, she found a scrap of paper with the phone number. At that moment, she felt as if she had found hope.
She dialed the number, which was picked up after just one ring. "Please, I beg you, save my grandpa," she pleaded immediately.
"I'll do anything you ask if you can save him," Hong Ying said, her voice choked with emotion. Her only focus was on saving her grandfather.
"I'll be right there," Wang Lin responded without hesitation. Quickly changing his clothes, he shouted at the cashier, "Fatty, settle the bill. We have to go save someone."
"We're at the First People's Hospital. Where are you? I can come pick you up," Hong Ying said, overjoyed to hear Wang Lin was willing to help as if she had grasped a lifeline.
"No need, we'll come directly. Prepare silver needles and warm water."
Soon after, Fatty drove a Hummer, dropping Wang Lin off at the entrance of the First People's Hospital. Hong Ying had already been waiting there.
As soon as she saw Wang Lin exit the vehicle, she grabbed his hand and ran with him into the hospital.
Inside the operating room, the Hong family surrounded Hong Shiwen. Tears were in their eyes, and their faces were etched with sorrow.

Bang!
The door to the operating room burst open, and Hong Ying entered, pulling Wang Lin along with her. "Dad, he can save Grandpa. Let him try," she said urgently.
Seeing how young Wang Lin was, Hong Quan immediately erupted in anger. "Hong Ying, have you lost your mind? Even Master Sun couldn't neutralize the poison, and now you bring in some young kid?"
"Is it because Dad spoils you that you act so recklessly? And big brother, can you please control your daughter? Our father is in this state, and she's still playing around?"
Ignoring Hong Quan, Hong Ying remained steadfast. Seeing this, Hong Quan turned his attention toward Hong Lin.
At that moment, Hong Lin quietly observed Wang Lin, whose calm demeanor made him slightly more inclined to believe Hong Ying.
"Little brother, why don't we let him try? After all, given our father's condition, there's nothing else we can do," Hong Lin said softly, hoping for a miracle.
"Big brother, are you also confused? We don't know anything about this kid. How can we trust him to treat Dad?" Hong Quan continued to object strenuously.
"Dad, Uncle, please, just let him try," Hong Ying pleaded, sobbing as she knelt before Hong Quan.
"Mr. Hong, allow me to speak impartially," said Master Sun, stepping forward. "Young man," he addressed Wang Lin, "you claim you can save Old Mr. Hong. What is your plan?"
"Guiguzi's Nine Needles," replied Wang Lin.
