The meaning behind Zheng Zhong's words were very clear. Sixth Master's illness was not his usual serious self. Coupled with his old age, he might have had a hard time surviving this ordeal.

Qin Wei'er had been brought up by her grandfather, so when she heard that she couldn't take it anymore, she started to cry as she ran. Lin Zi Chen and Huo Qing also quickly followed behind her.

Sixth Master's bedroom was on the second floor of an inner court loft. The bedroom's furnishings were very simple. Two antique wooden cabinets were placed against the wall, there was a purple sandalwood screen, and there was also a bed made of acid wood.

Qin Wei'er ran into the room. However, when she entered, she saw the frail old man on the bed and slowed down her steps. Her tears fell drop by drop onto the floor.

Normally, the Sixth Master's face was glowing red and his spirit was in high spirits, but this time, only the last bit of his anger was left.

Lin Zi Chen walked up and patted Qin Wei'er's shoulder. Qin Wei'er turned around and threw herself into his embrace, crying silently.

”Alright, Wei'er, stop crying. Let me take a look.”

Lin Zi Chen sighed and walked to the bedside to look at the Sixth Master. At this moment, the Sixth Master's eyes were tightly shut, and his eye sockets were sunken, and his breathing was weak. Lin Zi Chen thought, most likely the oil lamp was burnt out.

If he was injured, Lin Zichen could use his true qi to save him. But if he was really at the end of his life, then even a martial artist would find it hard to create a miracle.

Lin Zi Chen shook his head, and placed his three fingers on his sixth grandfather's pulse, not saying anything for a long time.

At the side, Qin Wei'er was crying uncontrollably. Huo Qing was quietly looking at her master, waiting for his result.

Suddenly, Lin Zicheng's eyes widened. ”That's not right. Wei'er, go and call Uncle Zhong over.”

Qin Wei'er was stunned, then she hurriedly nodded and ran out. Very soon, she walked in with Butler Zheng Zhong.

”Uncle Zhong, has something happened to the Qin family recently?” Lin Zi Chen said.

Zheng Zhong hurriedly nodded his head, ”Yes, Mister Lin, a few people from the police station came over a few days ago and had a chat with Sixth Master in the study. After they left, Sixth Master said he felt bad while covering his heart, and then … I'm not feeling well anymore. I've been getting worse and worse for the past few days. Mr Lin, should Lord Sixth... You're leaving? ”

As he spoke, Zheng Zhong also started to cry. After all, he was the old butler. His relationship with the Qin family and the Sixth Master was already like family.

After Zheng Zhong finished speaking, Qin Wei'er also looked at her master with her big eyes, as if she didn't want to hear those words. However, she still hoped that her master would have an explanation, after all, with Lin Zi Chen's medical skills, just one sentence from him could represent her grandfather's life and death.

Lin Zi Chen slightly frowned and said: ”With me here, Sixth Elder naturally won't die.”

With one sentence, Zheng Zhong directly knelt on the ground and began to cry, as if a huge rock that had been hanging over his heart for the past few days had finally fallen to the ground.

Qin Wei'er walked up to him and asked, ”Master, what happened to my grandfather? Why did you ask Uncle Zhong about what happened in the Qin family? ”

”Sixth Master's body is weak, and there are indeed signs that his life is about to end. However, this is not the end of his oil lamp, but a ball of fire in his heart.”

”A ball of fire?” The few of them asked at the same time.

”That's right. Sixth Elder must have been infuriated. Moreover, he must have been extremely infuriated. In addition to his old age, this energy was able to form a heart fire. That's why his body was in such a condition within a few days.”

Qin Wei'er thought for a while and said: ”Hmph, it must be those cops. Uncle Zhong, which sub-bureau are they from? I'm going to look for them! ”

”Miss Wei'er, please don't cause any more trouble. Right now, the entire Qin family is in chaos. Since Sixth Master's illness has taken away his backbone, can't you just stay here and accompany Sixth Master?”

Lin Zi Chen nodded his head, ”Wei'er, Uncle Zhong is right. Although our matter is urgent, there is no other way around it. Sixth Elder's current condition will take a few days to recover even if I were to help him recuperate. Right now, it's not appropriate for me to do anything.”

Qin Wei'er pouted and said, clenching her fist, ”Anyway, I won't let them go. So what if they're from the police station? If they dare treat my Qin family like this, it won't be good!”

The Qin family's strength at the Crossing Gate was not that of an underground force. Sixth Master Qin Botao's character could be considered worthy of respect, to the point that even the city's leaders were extremely respectful. This was their first time suffering such a loss.

Huo Qing said, ”Junior sister, this matter might not be as simple as it sounds. Logically speaking, with your Qin family's status, which police would dare to cause trouble after taking the heart of a bear? There's an article in it! ”

Lin Zi Chen slowly nodded his head, ”Huo Qing, you have thought through many more issues. Wei'er, your senior brother is right, do you think that one or two police officers would dare offend Sixth Elder? If there was no greater power backing them up, they definitely would not have done this. ”

”Master, you said … ”Li Jia Sheng?”

”I'm 90% sure this is the case. Let's not think about it for now, I'll help you take care of Lord Sixth first.” Afterwards, Lin Zichen had Zheng Zhong prepare warm water and towels for Huo Qing to temporarily assume responsibility for the Qin family's safety, while Qin Wei'er took care of Sixth Master with him.
