Chapter 153: Old Master Lin's Phone Call

"Quit your bullshit and shut the hell up!"

"If it weren't for your reckless actions, how could things have ever come to this?"

"Those are Lin Jingtao and his son we're talking about! Are they figures you could ever afford to provoke?"

"Setting aside Lin Jingtao and his son for a moment, how Elder Lin manages his family affairs is none of your business as an outsider! Are you trying to anger me to death on purpose?"

Before Ye Tianlin could finish his sentence, Su Weimin flew into a sudden rage, erupting with fury as his roaring voice echoed throughout the entire hospital room.

"Good son-in-law, you really were far too impulsive this time. Since you're just a puppet of the Capital Consortium, why didn't you explain it clearly to me? You got my hopes up for nothing," Gao Yulan said with a panicked expression.

Su Weimin stomped his feet in anger and cursed, "Didn't I already say so long ago? Since he's acting as a puppet, naturally he couldn't make it too obvious. Who knows whose thick skull couldn't get it—if you had just listened to my words a little earlier, we wouldn't have had to live in such terror!"

Seeing this spectacle, Ye Tianlin immediately lost the desire to explain. Given Su Weimin's personality and intellect, even if he talked until his lips turned blue today, he wouldn't be believed.

As for Gao Yulan, she remained her old self, far too gullible and easily swayed by every whisper of wind or rain.

With no other choice, Ye Tianlin took out his car keys, placed them directly on the table, and said, "Dad, you should go back and rest first. I'll stay here at the hospital, and you can come back in the evening."

Su Weimin glared at him. "Rest, my ass! How could I possibly sleep anymore? If you ask me, we should pack up and check out of this hospital right now before some trouble lands on our heads!"

"Yes, exactly! I've recovered quite well these past few days and I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore either. I always see in TV dramas how people inexplicably die in hospitals, so we should all go back and figure out a solution together," Gao Yulan said, nodding vigorously like a pestle pounding garlic.

Faced with this situation, Ye Tianlin was rendered completely speechless. He thought to himself that Gao Yulan simply watched way too much television; how could anything possibly go wrong in a real hospital? If Lin Jingtao had truly dared to cause a massive scene at the hospital, he would have made his move right then and there instead of just dropping empty threats!

Helplessly, he still couldn't win against the couple and had to go through the formalities for a forced discharge.

Half an hour later, they drove back to the Clear Water Bay villa.

At that moment, the interior of the villa was neatly tidied up everywhere.

Su Ruolan was not inside; she had already gone to work at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

Gao Yulan slumped onto the sofa, lacking any interest whatsoever in admiring the villa's luxurious scenery. Instead, her entire body trembled as she drank several cups of water in succession to calm her nerves.

Su Weimin felt a splitting headache and paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's over, we're dead for sure this time. With such a massive problem happening, Lin Jingtao is bound to track down the Capital Consortium, and once the Matriarch finds out, we'll be trapped between wolves in front and tigers behind!"

"Why don't we go apologize in person before things blow up?" Gao Yulan swallowed hard, her face completely pale.

Su Weimin cast a disgruntled glare at Ye Tianlin before saying, "You've already gone and beaten people up, what good do you think an apology will do? Besides, we don't even know where Lin Jingtao and his son are staying. People of their stature have properties everywhere—where are we supposed to look for them?"

Just at that moment, Ye Tianlin's phone suddenly vibrated. The sound startled the couple so much that their whole bodies shuddered, and they simultaneously shot him looks of terror.

Glancing at the caller ID, Ye Tianlin raised an eyebrow and then brought the phone to his ear to answer.

It was unknown what was said on the other end of the line, but Ye Tianlin quickly hung up.

Gao Yulan asked cautiously, "Who called you? Was it the Capital Consortium?"

Ye Tianlin shook his head and replied, "It wasn't the Capital Consortium, it was... Elder Lin!"

Su Weimin was utterly shocked and let out an involuntary gasp, "What? You're saying Elder Lin called you personally?"
