Chapter 670: Chapter 670
Although Sofimi was very reluctant, he didn't want to bear the accusation of patricide under the public gaze, so he could only take two steps back and glare coldly at Lin Chen.
It was then that Lin Chen finally turned his gaze towards Sofika.
At this moment, strands of black poison had already started eroding his body bit by bit. If Lin Chen had arrived even five minutes later, Sofika's life would have truly been lost.
What a treacherously potent poison, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Lin Chen placed his hand on Sofika's chest, and a sphere of light silently entered his body.
This was the first time Lin Chen used the Light of Life, but as soon as he released it, he was stunned by its miraculous effects.
One could see strands of light gradually purging the poison from Sofika's body and rapidly repairing the damaged functions within.
About half an hour later, life gradually returned to Sofika's face, which had been ashen, now becoming rosy.
"Look, there's movement in the heartbeat," a nurse suddenly exclaimed at that moment.
Everyone was stunned by the scene; although they had heard that some medical experts could resurrect the dead, it still seemed unbelievable to witness it.
Finally, Lin Chen lifted Sofika's body and abruptly slapped his back.
"What the hell are you doing?" Seeing Lin Chen consecutively slap Sofika's back, Sofimi was somewhat displeased.
However, at that moment, Sofika suddenly coughed violently a few times, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.
"Cough, cough!" Accompanied by a series of violent coughs, Sofika actually opened his eyes.
"Grandfather!" Seeing Sofika awake, Sophina's face revealed a look of ecstatic joy.
Sofika opened his eyes, and upon seeing Sophina, he was stunned at first, then felt as if he had survived a catastrophe. "Sophina, I never imagined I'd be able to see you again," he said.
"Grandfather, how do you feel?" Sophina asked.
Sofika smiled and said, "I feel much better, and I have this feeling that I've grown ten years younger."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, for he had cured the other hidden ailments in Sofika's body while treating him, which gave him the feeling of being ten years younger.
At this moment, Sofika's gaze suddenly fell on Lin Chen. "It was this young man who cured me of the poison," he said.
Sophina nodded her head. "Thanks to him just now, he forced the poison out of you."
"What? I was poisoned?" Sofika, hearing that Lin Chen had forced the poison out, fixed his gaze with a start.
Sophina nodded. "Today, those people even collectively pressured me, wanting me to relinquish the CEO position."
"Hmph, these people, daring to target my granddaughter, it seems it's time to teach them a lesson," Sofika said, his eyes revealing a trace of cold intent.
His gaze then fell on Lin Chen, "Thank you, young mister, for saving my life."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Grandfather, it is only right. After all, I am your grandson-in-law!"
"Grandson-in-law?" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Sofika was momentarily startled, looking at Lin Chen with confusion.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Grandfather, we're just ordinary friends," Sophina said hastily, her cheeks reddening.
"Who said we're just ordinary friends? We have a marriage arrangement, Grandfather. Surely you haven't forgotten the marriage arrangement with Emon's family."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Sofika's face showed a trace of joy, "Are you Lin Chen, the descendant of Emon's family in China?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, Grandfather, it's me!"
Sofika joyfully took Lin Chen's hand and looked him over with a face full of fondness, "Not bad, not bad at all. I never thought I'd live to see my granddaughter's husband. It seems the heavens haven't been unkind to me!"
Hearing Sofika's words, Sophina hurriedly spoke, "Grandfather, I won't marry this man."
Sofika's face changed, "What nonsense are you talking about, Sophina? This is the agreement I made with Emon's family. We already owe Emon's family so much, and now Lin Chen has saved my life, you must marry him. Do you want your grandfather to be seen as disloyal and unrighteous?"
With that, Sofika sighed, "Lin Chen, I'm really sorry I couldn't be of help with your family's affairs, and I'm really sorry for your grandfather. The incident happened so suddenly, and although I sent people to find out what happened, hoping to avenge the destruction of your Emon family, we found no clues."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "It's all in the past now, it was the fate of the Emon family, and nothing could be done about it."
"What a sensible child," Sofika liked Lin Chen more and more.
At this moment, Sophina pouted and said, "Grandfather, Lin Chen isn't as good as you think; he's both lecherous and bad, and he also comes from the countryside in China, full of bad habits."
Sofika simply smiled, "A man is not bad, a woman doesn't love him. And which man isn't lecherous? Besides, I came from the countryside too. Are you going to disown me as your grandfather?"
After hearing Sofika's words, Sophina was at a loss for words.
"Alright, I've decided on your marriage. Let's pick a good day in the next few days and get it done quickly," Sofika said with a smile.
"What!" Hearing Sofika's words, both Lin Chen and Sophina were stunned.
Neither of them had expected the old man to be so impulsive, actually wanting to proceed with the matter immediately.
"Grandfather, we don't even know each other yet, how could I possibly marry this stranger?" Sophina said with an unhappy face.
Lin Chen also smiled, "Grandfather, I think we shouldn't rush this matter. How about we get to know each other a little? I believe Sophina will accept me."
After listening to Lin Chen, Sofika nodded, "That's a good idea. The two of you should spend some more time together, understand each other better before getting married. Well, the company needs help right now, so Lin Chen, I'm going to trouble you to give Sophina a hand at the company!"
"Grandfather, no, he can't come to our company." Sophina's face changed drastically upon hearing Sofika's words.
Sofika's gaze turned cold, his expression serious, "There's no room for negotiation on this matter. You'll marry according to my plan immediately if you refuse."
Then Sofika turned to look at Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, I wonder if you could help this old man with this? Sophina is quite capable, but she's too young, and I'm not at ease with her dealing with those old foxes on her own."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandfather. I'll take very good care of Sophina."
After hearing Lin Chen's words, Sofika finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Sophina was unwilling, she silently accepted the decision.
She knew her grandfather's temperament better than anyone, and once he had made up his mind, it was very hard to change it.
After all, her grandfather had just recovered from an illness, and if she defied him, she feared it would anger him.
Meanwhile, Sophia's face suddenly turned dark, and she clenched her fists tightly, "Damn Lin Chen, daring to ruin my great plan, I won't let you off."
