Chương 13: I want him dead!

Linchuan First Hospital.

"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!"

With a furious roar, Yang Chen rushed to the VIP ward of the inpatient department.

He shoved aside the security guards blocking his way at the door and rushed into the ward.

However, when he saw the scene on the hospital bed, Yang Chen was struck dumb, frozen in place.

The scene on the hospital bed was shocking.

Yang Yiming's body was in an extremely bizarre and twisted posture, his eyes bulging outwards as if he had seen something extremely terrifying before he died.

What was most chilling was that he was completely soaked in blood. The pristine white hospital bed, blankets, and even the carpet were covered in thick, dark red blood.

"Yiming!!!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yang Chen suddenly lunged to the bedside and let out a heart-wrenching roar. The sound was like that of a lone wolf who had lost its cubs, filled with grief and despair.

The attending physicians and nurses standing to the side were all trembling with fear at Yang Chen's terrifying aura, shrinking into the corner and not daring to approach.

Yang Chen's hands trembled as he tried to touch his son's face, only to find it already cold and stiff.

He whirled around, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the doctor in the corner. He grabbed the doctor by the collar and lifted him up: "Speak! What happened?! Why is my son like this?! How did you bunch of useless idiots treat him?!"

The doctor, struggling to breathe and his face flushed, stammered desperately, "Elder Yang... Elder Yang, please calm down! We didn't know either!"

"When we were doing our rounds just now, we suddenly discovered that the eldest young master was dead."

The doctor was on the verge of tears.

"This is completely against medical common sense! We were on duty at the nurses' station outside, only a few meters away from this ward. None of us heard any cries for help or any fighting coming from inside the ward."

"Furthermore, we immediately checked the surveillance footage in the hallway and outside the room after the incident, but found no evidence of any outsider intrusion. The young master... he died so mysteriously, as if his body suddenly exploded!"

Upon hearing the doctor's explanation, Yang Chen loosened his grip and threw the doctor to the ground.

He returned to the bedside and looked at Yang Yiming, who had died tragically in front of him. The muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably from extreme pain.

But Yang Chen was, after all, a battle-hardened elder of the Knights Alliance, an Awakened One wielding immense power. After a brief outburst, he quickly forced himself to suppress his grief-stricken expression.

Because he knew that crying wouldn't solve anything.

Yang Chen calmed down and began to carefully examine Yang Yiming's body.

He reached out and gently pulled open Yang Yiming's hospital gown, which was soaked in blood.

Soon, Yang Chen noticed something extremely wrong.

This wasn't a case of sudden death caused by internal bleeding. Yang Yiming's chest, abdomen, shoulders, and other areas were covered with countless tiny, penetrating wounds!

These wounds were very clean, as if they had been instantly pierced by some extremely sharp and slender blade. However, no weapon was found in the ward, and such a dense network of penetrating wounds could not possibly have gone unnoticed in reality.

Suddenly, Yang Chen closed his eyes, gathered the fire energy of the Flame Dragon Armor at his fingertips, and gently touched a penetrating wound on Yang Yiming's body.

The next second, Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his face instantly becoming extremely ferocious, his teeth grinding together!

"ZZZ!"

Yang Chen spat out those three words through gritted teeth, his voice filled with a hatred that even the deepest rivers and lakes couldn't wash away: "It's you again, you beast! I, Yang Chen, swear to God, I will personally tear you apart and make you pay for my son's life!"

He sensed it!

Although the wounds on his son were very faint, they still retained a dark red energy fluctuation filled with a destructive aura.

Yang Chen could not possibly mistake this eerie energy aura. Just last night, when he went to survey the scene and examine the corpse of the Kamen Rider Kalis, whose chest cavity had been crushed, he specifically used his senses to memorize this aura.

It is the residual power unique to Kamen Rider ZZZ!

Although Yang Chen couldn't understand how Kamen Rider ZZZ managed to bypass all surveillance cameras, sneak into the VIP ward without making a sound, and kill his son silently in such a bizarre way, it no longer mattered.

The identity of the murderer is now a certainty.

Yang Chen took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the rampaging fire energy within his body. He took out a specially made encrypted phone from his pocket and dialed a number directly.

The phone was answered after only one ring.

"Gather everyone under your command and immediately cease all current operations."

Yang Chen's voice was icy cold, carrying an unyielding command tone, "I'm only giving you three days! Even if I have to turn Linchuan City upside down, I will find that Kamen Rider ZZZ! I want him dead! And he must die at the hands of our people!"

A deep, menacing voice came from the other end of the phone. Without hesitation, the other person responded decisively:

"Godfather, rest assured. If anyone dares to touch Yiming, I guarantee I'll complete the mission and bring him back to you with his head!"

"Wait a moment."

Just as Yang Chen was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly remembered something and added, "There's one more extremely important thing."

Yang Chen turned his head and glanced at the bustling city of Linchuan outside the window, a cunning and cold glint in his eyes.

"Send men to Tianshui Street and completely seal off that cake shop that's now a ruin. Find all the surveillance footage in the area, whether it's official CCTV, private cameras from nearby shops, or even cell phones from passersby that might have captured the scene—find it all!"

Yang Chen paused, his tone turning icy: "Once you find it, erase everything inside completely and utterly! Leave not a single trace!"

Just now at the meeting, when Su Miaoyin publicly raised the speculation that he had "accidentally killed a relative, which led to revenge," saying that he was killing someone to cover up the crime, Yang Chen, in his rage, suddenly realized something.

Based on his understanding of his son, he believed that what Su Miaoyin said was very likely true.

Yang Yiming is absolutely capable of accidentally killing ordinary people in pursuit of lethality.

However, when Yang Yiming returned to him yesterday, covered in injuries and barely clinging to life, he, as a father, was in a state of extreme anger and heartache and did not inquire carefully about the details and cause of the battle.

But now, Yang Yiming is dead.

If Su Miaoyin or her arch-enemies in the alliance find conclusive evidence proving that Yang Yiming indiscriminately killed innocent civilians as the cause of this heinous incident, then public opinion on the entire incident will instantly reverse.

He absolutely will not allow this to happen!

He had to find someone to eliminate all direct evidence that could prove his son had accidentally killed an ordinary person before the alliance's investigation team got involved.

Only by ensuring there are no witnesses left can all the blame be placed on Kamen Rider ZZZ.

He didn't want his son to be condemned for "massacring civilians" after his death.

More importantly, this concerns his own vital interests!

The position of vice president of the Knights League is about to become vacant, and he is currently in a critical period of competing for promotion.

If, at this critical juncture, the scandal of his son's indiscriminate killing of innocent people were to break out, his bid for vice president would be completely ruined.

For the sake of their sons' reputations, and even more so for their own power and status, those commoners could only die in vain!
