384: Chapter 384 The Vicissitudes of Life

After everyone left and the atmosphere cooled, Wang Lin stood there in a daze.

Before this, someone would gently pat his shoulder, but now, not a single person reached out to him...

Not even a comforting pat on the shoulder.

More often, it was a cold sneer.

Heh heh...

An overconfident fool.

The last person to leave stopped at the door and openly mocked him.

And this person was the same one who had previously urged Wang Lin to give up Wanheng Real Estate and hand over the assets to foreign consortiums for management.

This person was also a close brother whom Wang Lin had deeply trusted throughout his journey. They had weathered storms together for thirty years, and Wang Lin had believed they could face hardship together and never abandon each other... However, reality had delivered a harsh blow.

Clearly, the last hope for Wanheng Real Estate—these board members—could no longer be relied upon.

Finally, he could only sit powerlessly in his seat, sighing at the vicissitudes of the human world. Indeed, no human being could be trusted.

They could share wealth, but when it came to sharing hardship, they were far inferior...

Did these people have no ideals at all?

He let out a long sigh.

His heart, which was already nearly dead, finally felt like it was about to burn away all its remaining energy.

Perhaps Wanheng Real Estate deserved to end like this...

Wang Lin gave a bitter smile inwardly, feeling nothing but deep regret.

Just then, a burst of angry shouting erupted from outside, and the argument grew increasingly intense.

Soon, there were sounds of physical conflict!

Followed by the sound of things being smashed!

Who was causing such a huge commotion at Wanheng Real Estate?

Wang Lin looked up.

"Secretary-General, what is happening outside?"

He spoke out instinctively.

Upon hearing this, a beautiful, slender secretary wearing half-rimmed glasses quickly nodded and communicated with the outside.

Afterward, the Secretary-General's expression grew increasingly grim. She glanced awkwardly at Wang Lin, hesitant to speak.

"What is there to be afraid of saying?"

"I know the current situation of our Wanheng Real Estate better than anyone. Even if this headquarters building collapses, it's nothing!"

"Speak quickly!"

Wang Lin's tone regained its usual severity.

However...

The Secretary-General, who had always stayed by Wang Lin's side, shook her head slightly internally.

Chairman Wang's voice was already weak, yet he was still trying so hard to maintain his composure.

She feared that learning about the commotion outside would only make him more helpless, right?

Watching such a once vigorous middle-aged man fall into dejection overnight, the Secretary-General who had followed Wang Lin closely was actually the one most saddened.

She sighed, just about to speak...

The fighting sounds quickly ended.

Not long after...

A young man pushed the door open and walked in.

The person who arrived was none other than Wang Lin's only son, Wang Gang.

However, there was an unknown bruise on his forehead... a large lump had swollen up.

And at this moment...

Beside Wang Gang appeared another person: the very brother Wang Lin had fought alongside, who had just sneered disdainfully at Wang Lin!

Seeing this, Wang Lin roughly understood what had just happened.

Looking at the injuries on Wang Gang, he gritted his teeth. His eyes were like a hawk's, sharp and piercing. He desperately wished he could rush forward immediately and tear the other man's flesh off!

But Wang Lin was already in his forties; he naturally knew this was absolutely impossible.

He could only suppress the impulse within him, glaring at the other man through gritted teeth.

Silent!

But boundless rage churned inside him.

He just lacked an outlet for his fury.

"Heh heh, Wang Lin, is your son a dog? Such a tough mouth!"

"Looks like he was molded from the same block as you. You used to bite people too when you couldn't win a fight as a kid."

The man sneered.

"You bastard!"

Wang Gang was seventeen or eighteen, full of youthful vigor. How could he tolerate his father being insulted like this?

A surge of hot blood rushed to his head.

Unable to restrain himself, as if losing control of his body, he lunged madly at the man.

The other party clearly couldn't handle him.

He immediately called for the surrounding security guards.

Those who originally intended to ignore the matter had to step forward reluctantly.

With the obstruction of several burly men, the situation eventually fizzled out.

Wang Gang, consumed by anger, fainted after the man left. Wang Lin and the others rushed over with grim faces. When they noticed Wang Gang's condition, they immediately sent him to the hospital.

As for the man who had been mocking him earlier, he remained completely unchanged as they left.

He even let out a disdainful cold snort.

"This has nothing to do with me. He rushed up trying to hit me first; I'm the victim. Who knew this guy was so fragile that he fainted immediately."

However, Wang Lin didn't have the leisure to argue with him. He only spat out a harsh warning for the man to be careful in the future, then immediately, with a grim face, led his people toward the hospital.

...Dragon Capital Zhenghua Private Hospital.

Wang Lin sat by the bedside, silent and unmoving.

Only the Secretary-General was around him.

And she had only just entered.

Looking at Wang Lin's somewhat dazed eyes, and then at Wang Gang's pale, unconscious face on the hospital bed, as a woman, she could clearly sense the bitterness of the situation.

"Chairman Wang..."

"Speak."

Wang Lin said faintly.

But his voice was already hoarse now.

There were even quite a few white hairs appearing on his head...

"Madam and the others have arrived..."

She hesitated for a moment before the Secretary-General finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin's somewhat numb gaze shifted slightly.

He licked his dry lips.

"I know. Let them come in."

After saying this, Wang Lin quietly got up.

He turned and walked toward the outside of the ward.

On the way, he saw the middle-aged woman who was grieving inconsolably.

"Hmph! Wang! If anything happens to Gangzi, I will make you spend the rest of your life in regret!"

After saying this, the middle-aged woman snorted coldly, then immediately pulled Wang Gang away and rushed inside.

Wang Lin didn't say anything in response to this.

He quietly went outside to pay the medical fees.

If it were before, someone would certainly have done this for him, but now... he was completely alone. This was probably the sorrow of a middle-aged man.

Soon, he arrived at the hospital lobby.

Suddenly!

A portrait caught Wang Lin's attention.

Lin Heng!

Wang Lin's pupils constricted slightly.

Perhaps...
