510 Medical World

The death of Old Man Lee became the topic of the week. After all, the Old Man was once a great Doctor and businessman despite the fact that his personal life was a mess. Of course, Zhou Jingren and Zhou Dae Un's name was also dragged along with the old man's death.

How could the old man die just after apologizing to his daughter? And what did the old man do in the past that caused this misunderstanding with his daughter? According to the media, the old man was benevolent and extremely smart. What kind of mistakes in the past would cause his daughter to abandon him?

In the old man's wake, many prominent figures showed themselves. From prominent figures in the medical world to actors and actresses. Even some political leaders went to pay respects to the old man. This was not surprising as they consider him as one of the greatest figures in Singapore because of the Lee Group's contribution to the economy of the country.

The only thing that surprised some economist was that his death did not affect the Lee Group. In the end, they immediately concluded that it was because the old man trained the smart Thomas to manage the company well. However, this did not stop the media from asking. What changes will Zhou Jingren and Zhou Dae Un brought to the company?

Everyone remembered how the old man declared that he wanted to make his daughter and grandson to become the heir to his extravagant fortune. What could this declaration mean to Thomas and his son, Adrian?

"I think Zhou Jingren and Zhou Dae Un should give up their rights on the company. After all, Thomas had been running the company for years. How could he just give up what he had worked so hard just to honor his father's wishes?" One economist said. "I believe that this decision needed to be made soon to avoid unrest from the shareholders."

Many people gave their opinions about the matter. But at the end of the day, the only one capable of deciding this are the Lees.

"I think they should just give up their shares too," Ron said. His eyes were still red, his voice hoarse. He seemed to have grown even older than his original age after Isaac's death. Anyone who would see Ron like this would immediately sympathize with him. He had been with Isaac for over thirty years! Surely, the death of the old man gave him a lot of sadness.

If Thomas had not heard of him talking to Isaac like that, he would have become one of those people who would be fooled by this facade that Ron was showing. However, he already knew Ron's actual intention. "I can see that my father's death had an immense effect on your health." He changed the topic as he eyed Ron. "Uncle Ron, I think you should take some rest. My father… " Thomas let out a sighed. "I know this sounds cold, but he is already old. We already know that this will eventually happen."

Ron responded with a sigh. "I can't just leave you and Adrian like this." He uttered in a gloomy voice. "We all know that Zhou Jingren is ruthless and would not hesitate to harm anyone that he deemed his enemy. How could I leave you and your son to face that sociopath alone?" His reasoning was actually right. In fact, Thomas would commend this old man for still being sharp despite his age. Anyone who knew what happened in Shanghai would immediately say that they wanted to help Thomas and Adrian fight against a man like Zhou Jingren.

"Can we really do something about it?" Thomas said in a sullen tone. "I don't think… we could fight against Lily and Zhou Jingren. And if Zhou Dae Un decided to join them, then we are done."

"Zhou Dae Un made it clear that she does not want to involve herself in this matter anymore. I tried calling her for the funeral of her father, but she ruthlessly refused and told me never to contact her again. She is the least of our concern. Both Lily and Zhou Jingren are known ruthless when it comes to acquiring businesses. What if…" Ron did not continue his words as he gauges Thomas' reaction. As expected, Thomas darkened his face at his statement.

"I know. This is why… I said it's pointless." Thomas said. "I don't want to fight with them anymore. I don't want to sacrifice my son and my safety in this pointless battle of who gets to manage a company." He lifted his head and stared at Ron. "I am planning to make a deal with Lily and Zhou Jingren. I want my peace and I think this— "

"That cannot happen!" Ron's tone immediately changed when he heard Thomas' words. "Isaac would never like that."

"But he said…"

"Thomas… you are still naive after all." Ron interrupted him. "The old man only said that he wanted to have a relationship with Zhou Jingren and his mother because of the benefits that he will get from them. Let's not kid ourselves. Isaac had always valued benefits and money above everything else. I suggest that we wait for the old man's will before we decide about this matter."

"But we know how dangerous Zhou Jingren can be." Thomas tried to reason. "He even had the guts to hurt my son in my own country! What is stopping him from targeting me and Adrian? He could even include you in this matter! Uncle Ron… I don't want anyone to get hurt anymore. We are from the medical world, we are meant to save people. Not put them at risk."

Ron stared at Thomas for a few seconds. He then clenched his jaws as he wondered how will he convince him to fight instead of fleeing. He eyed the seriousness in Thomas' eyes before he composed himself. "I have a plan." Ron uttered.
