Chapter 433 - Seeking Shortcomings

Chapter 433: Chapter 433 Seeking Shortcomings

The text message alarmed me, “The last time we’ll see each other?” Could it be that he was contemplating suicide?

I really couldn’t imagine this happening to a successful elder.

But considering Lin Nansheng’s recent low profile,

and his unusual reluctance to contact me, there was indeed a real possibility that something had gone wrong.

So, I immediately texted him back,

“Where are you?”

He sent me an address, and I hurried into the car with Shen Yishu.

Shen Yishu started the car,

“Where?”

“Beiwang Bridge…”

I gave the location, and Shen Yishu pressed the gas pedal to the floor.

I kept calling his phone, hoping he would answer, but it was turned off the entire time.

This made me increasingly anxious, and I kept urging Shen Yishu,

“Drive faster!”

“Alright, should we call the police first?”

Shen Yishu suggested.

“No, let’s go there and see the situation first.”

If it were an ordinary old man, I would have definitely called the police first.

But considering that Lin Nansheng is a business tycoon, he should be measured and confident in his actions, and there was a high probability that he wouldn’t do something foolish.

Therefore, I didn’t call the police.

Half an hour later, I finally arrived at the bridge on the edge of the city.

It wasn’t until I got to the scene that I broke out in a cold sweat. If I had known, maybe calling the police would have been better…

The weather was overcast, and the wind was somewhat strong.

This bridge was not located in the city center, but in a more remote suburb. At this time, there were no pedestrians on the bridge, and even the passing vehicles were few and far between.

So, Lin Nansheng’s figure sitting on the bridge railing was very conspicuous.

When Shen Yishu closed the car door, he muttered low,

“Fuck, this is too dangerous.”

“Yeah, hanging in mid-air, with dozens of meters of river water below, if he falls, he’s definitely dead.”

My heart was in a panic, and Shen Yishu kept comforting me by my side,

“Don’t panic, I’ll figure something out. You distract him from the left, and I’ll approach from the right.”

“Okay!”

After we agreed on the plan, we split up and flanked him from the left and right.

After I climbed up onto the bridge, I shouted at Lin Nansheng,

“Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin!”

Lin Nansheng slowly turned his head to look at me, and a gust of wind revealed his full head of white hair.

It shocked me profoundly. What on earth had happened to make an old man’s hair turn white overnight?

Moreover, he looked haggard and seemed to have suffered a great deal.

“Uncle Lin, please come down! It’s very dangerous up there, hurry!”

When Lin Nansheng saw me, not only did he show no intention of wanting to come down, but he also leaned out a bit further.

“Don’t come any closer, Xiaoyun, don’t come over here. Just stand there and let me finish talking.”

I was afraid he would jump down in his agitated state, so I stood still.

“Uncle Lin, can you calm down, please? Come down from there, it’s too dangerous, really, please come down, alright?”

Lin Nansheng gave the sky a desolate smile,

“To think that Lin Nansheng’s life was once glorious, and now, in my old age, my reputation is unsalvageable. Alas!”

“Uncle Lin, what exactly happened? Can you tell me, please? Life is long, nobody can guarantee they won’t make mistakes. Even if you have made a mistake, as long as you bravely face it and are willing to correct it, that’s enough.”

“You go! Xiaoyun, I called you here today to see you one last time. I have already written my will, leaving a part of the company’s shares to you, hoping that you will take over my company in the future. Alas! I hope this arrangement is the most reasonable one.”

Lin Nansheng’s mood was very low, and despite my long persuasion, he didn’t listen to a single word.

It seemed he harbored a death wish, as if his whole being had plunged into a death knot that could no longer be untangled.

So, I changed the subject.

“Uncle Lin, your arrangement is not reasonable, I’m afraid I will have to disappoint you.”

“What do you mean, disappointed?”

“It’s that you want me to manage your company, but I’m afraid I can’t, because I’m about to go blind! Soon I might not even live for many days.”

After hearing what I said, Lin Nansheng was indeed caught by surprise, turning his head to look at me,

“What’s wrong with your eyes?”

I sighed,

“My eye surgery was conducted by Jiang Jiaying’s boyfriend, who wanted revenge on me. He sabotaged something in my eyes, and now, those hidden dangers are emerging day by day. He said… my eyeballs would burst in a few days, and then I would die.”

“How can such a thing happen? How can he bully you like that?”

At this moment, all of Lin Nansheng’s attention had shifted to me, and right then, Shen Yishu came around from the other side, and while Lin Nansheng was distracted,

he stretched out his hand from behind to embrace him. Then he took the opportunity to drag him down from the railing of the bridge.

This scene really made my heart clench in fear; I was truly scared that something might go wrong.

Luckily, everything was under control.

Shen Yishu really did possess tremendous strength, effortlessly dragging Lin Nansheng to the ground and then holding onto his arms without letting go.

I let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked quickly to Lin Nansheng, tightly grabbing his arm.

“Uncle Lin, you really scared me just now. Can you not do this in the future? You are one of the elders I respect the most. If something happened to you, I would never feel at peace in this lifetime.”

To prevent him from taking any more risks, Shen Yishu and I forcibly took Lin Nansheng under the bridge and sat down on a bench in the park below.

Then, I bought a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to him.

“Uncle Lin, have some water.”

Perhaps worried about me, Lin Nansheng was no longer fixated on his own issues but eagerly asked me,

“What did you say, your eyes really have problems?”

I lowered my head and took off the colored contacts from my eyes,

“Yes, look!”

Lin Nansheng observed my eyes seriously, and finally sighed deeply,

“It does look quite severe, but you don’t need to worry, I will take you abroad to see the best ophthalmologist. Even if the worst happens and you go blind, it will definitely not endanger your life.”

I calmly put on sunglasses, smiled faintly,

“Uncle Lin, my issue is not urgent, we can take it slow. I’m also willing to go abroad with you for treatment. What’s most important right now is that you need to deal with your issues. Uncle Lin, if you trust me, can you tell me what exactly has happened to you? If you still consider me your goddaughter, you have to tell me the truth.”

Lin Nansheng heaved a long sigh, his face full of guilt, and then told me the whole story.

After hearing it, I was shocked. I had not expected Jiang Jiaying to do such a thing.
