Convergence of Fates
The three arrived at the hospital entrance.
Liu Rumei felt a slight relief upon realizing it wasn't Song's Hospital. However, her curiosity was piqued again.
"Mr. Lin, what brings you here?" she inquired.
Similarly puzzled, Ye Xingchen, the second protagonist, maintained his vigilant bodyguard stance, speaking less and observing more.
"I'm here to visit a friend," Lin Beifan explained with a sigh. "He was injured a few days ago and is currently hospitalized."
"I see," Liu Rumei responded, rendered momentarily speechless.
As they reached the hospital entrance, Lin Beifan suggested, "Let's buy some flowers before heading up."
Then, Lin Beifan purchased three bouquets of flowers, with each of them holding one as they made their way to the ward.
Inside the ward, Ye Xingchen, the second protagonist, keenly recognized a familiar face Dr. Xiao Chen and his heart stirred with a tempest of questions.
Why was Dr. Xiao Chen here?
How did he sustain such injuries?
Was it because of a confrontation with Lin Beifan, the notorious troublemaker?
But it didn't seem plausible. Why would Lin Beifan personally visit if he were the cause?
His mind buzzed with uncertainty.
As Lin Beifan approached Dr. Xiao Chen with a solemn expression, he extended the bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Brother Xiao Chen, my condolences for your condition," Lin Beifan began, his voice laced with genuine concern.
The protagonist Xiao Chen remained silent, his expression unreadable.
"Forgive me, I seem to have misspoken. How are you feeling now? I hope these flowers brighten your day. I've heard from the doctor that surrounding yourself with flowers can have a positive effect on your mood," Lin Beifan inquired, his concern evident.
The protagonist Xiao Chen continued to remain expressionless.
Surrounded by an array of white flowers—chrysanthemums, orchids, carnations—the atmosphere felt somber, even for someone who wasn't ill.
"What's wrong with him? He seems quite distressed," Liu Rumei asked cautiously.
Lin Beifan sighed heavily, his expression grave. "Meiniang, you don't understand. Just a few days ago, he was nearly killed by his most trusted senior brother. Thankfully, we intervened in time, or else the outcome would have been catastrophic! He's unable to shake off the trauma, hence his somber mood."
Liu Rumei covered her mouth in shock. "How dreadful!"
Ye Xingchen, meanwhile, felt increasingly puzzled. How could Xiao Chen's relationship with his senior brother turn so sour? They were always close. And what baffled him even more was the unexpected closeness between Lin Beifan and Xiao Chen. One was injured, and the other showed up daily, displaying unwavering care.
Could this be the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?
At that moment, a familiar voice caught Xiao Chen's attention. He turned his head slightly, spotting two familiar figures.
One of them is Liu Rumei, Lin Beifan's future right-hand woman.
What on earth!
Why is Liu Rumei here?
And why is she standing by Lin Beifan's side?
Shouldn't there be a significant breakthrough in the relationship between Lin Beifan and Song Yuqing two months later, prompting Liu Rumei to join Lin Beifan's side as a secretary out of concern for her best friend?
The timeline seems a bit off!
Could it be that their relationship has progressed at such a rapid pace?
Xiao Chen pondered over it, feeling a bit bewildered.
The other one is even more astonishing!
Ye Xingchen!
A man with formidable strength and formidable abilities!
How did he end up with Lin Beifan?
They seem so close!
Something doesn't add up!
So he pretended not to know and asked, "Who are they?"
Lin Beifan proudly introduced, "Brother Xiao, let me introduce them to you! The one standing on my left is Liu Rumei. She is currently my secretary and is in charge of work! Not only is she very beautiful, but her work ability is also excellent. She will be my very close partner!"
"Yeah!" Xiao Chen nodded solemnly.
This woman is indeed not only beautiful but also very competent!
It is precisely because of her assistance that Lin Beifan was able to build a big business empire in a short period of time!
Then, play him to death!
The first person he hated the most was Lin Beifan!
The second person is Liu Rumei.
"The other one is also very good!" Lin Beifan pushed Ye Xingchen forward proudly and said, "This is my new bodyguard. His name is Ye Xingchen, and he is a very capable person! I heard that it is not a problem for one person to beat dozens of people!"
The protagonist Xiao Chen felt a storm raging in his heart.
Ye Xingchen! This man is called the God of War by the underground world! He actually became Lin Beifan's lackey!
Ye Xingchen, have you forgotten how you were defeated by him in your last life? Did you forget how he took away your woman? How you lost your power and were defeated by him?
And now, in this life, you've become his lackey? To protect him wholeheartedly?
Almost forgotten, I was reborn, but you weren't!
Xiao Chen felt a heavy weight on his heart.
With Ye Xingchen's support, dealing with this Lin Beifan becomes even more challenging!
God, why is this happening to me?
I've only been reborn for a few days, and I'm alone in this hospital ward. My senior brother is in prison, and even potential allies have become Lin Beifan's allies!
Is this the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?
Why does it all seem to lead to tragedy?
