At noon, Andy remained asleep.Upon receiving the news, Eric's parents were the first to arrive.Melinda was wiping away tears while lamenting the unfairness of fate. She detailed the family's struggles, from her costly medical condition to Blake's near-fatal car accident, and now Andy's predicament. The family had endured repeated trials of injuries and illnesses.Blake sighed. "Despite all hardships, we've managed to overcome them as a family.""Our days are improving, but so are the challenges. Many times, I wish we weren't this wealthy so you all would face fewer hardships!" Melinda expressed.Unbeknownst to the elderly couple, Sylvia was detained abroad, a fact Eric and Elly kept from them due to their rural background and lack of information.After confirming that Andy was not in life-threatening danger, Blake returned to Nutikiville, where they had animals to tend to daily—pigs, ducks, chickens, and geese.Shortly after the Johnsons left, Andy's parents arrived.Seeing t

Andy opened his eyes, gazing at Eric with a complex expression."Eric, it's not that I don't want to tell. It's just... I didn't expect him to try to kill me," Andy confessed."Who is it?" Eric's face shifted. From Andy's expression, he must know the assailant, and it definitely wasn't Craig!Andy wrestled with his thoughts. After a moment, he closed his eyes and revealed, "My brother, Jacob."This exceeded Eric's expectations. He had considered Craig and even speculated about the Crimson Order or their rivals, but Jacob was never on his radar!"H-How could it be..."Eric was dumbfounded. Why would Jacob want to harm Andy? According to the police, Jacob had stabbed Andy with the intent to kill. Why had the brothers reached such a dire situation?Andy shook his head, "I don't know, Eric. You have to help me keep it a secret. If the police find out, Jacob will definitely end up in prison.""Andy! Protecting him like this isn't helping—it's harming him! Without understanding the r

Jacob trembled in fear."The conflicts between my brother and me... have nothing to do with you..." he mumbled.The interrogators were rendered speechless. What they sought was the motive behind Jacob's attack. Andy's identity was exceptionally special—the Innova Group was a key enterprise in Salt City, making this case a matter of great concern for the police.After over an hour of interrogation, they still hadn't extracted the motive for the crime.Suddenly, Eric sat in the interrogation room and waved his phone in front of Jacob. "The hospital just called. Your brother... has died."Jacob's face lit up with joy in an instant! Although brief, Eric and the two interrogators clearly witnessed it.After the ecstasy, Jacob choked, "I... I never thought of killing him..."Eric said, "You may not have wanted to kill him, but the fact is your brother is dead. There's a significant difference between being alive and dead. Your brother was a well-respected figure in Salt City, the co-f

On that very day, Eric hurriedly headed to King City.-Confronted by the silent emptiness of his home, Eric felt a sense of disorientation.Ever since Felicia's passing, they hadn't hired a new housekeeper, and with Sylvia detained, the house seemed eerily desolate.Thinking about Felicia, Eric reached out to Leopard to ask about the 40,000 dollars Scar owed. To his surprise, Scar had encountered a crisis!Leopard arrived at Eric's residence and shared, "Mr. Johnson, do you recall when we were at Felicia's house?"Back then, Scar and his men attempted a tomb raid. Unfortunately, excessive explosives caused the entire tomb to collapse. Scar and his crew are still trapped underneath, yet to be rescued!"The once influential figure in King City had met a tragic fate. It was truly regrettable. With Felicia gone for some time, if Scar and his men were still in the tomb, chances of their survival seemed bleak. Regrettably, the 40,000 dollars had also vanished."But I heard that Sc

Money played a pivotal role in driving the world forward.News about Eric had spread swiftly, leading to the arrival of over a dozen cars outside the villa while Eric was still in bed.The head of the Rogers family stepped out of a car, gazing at the villa, with his companions staying alert and surveying the surroundings.The man examined the closed gate and remarked, "It's quite late. Why hasn't the gate been opened?"Upon learning of a potential holistic physician in King City who was willing to assist, Brent Rogers hurriedly arrived. He was entrusted with bringing the holistic physician back to Phoenix City. However, the residential gate remained firmly closed, leaving Brent perplexed.Meanwhile, his frustration increased as there was no servant at the entrance, making it impossible to discern the situation inside.Aware of the peculiar temperaments of holistic physicians and having faced rejections before, Brent patiently waited at the gate.It wasn't until nearly 10:00 a.m.
