Chapter 1977: The Work of Lan Weisong
“Dad!”
Xu Binyi quickly ran over to hold Xu Jianye up. He ordered someone to carry him into the house. The family doctor immediately came over to try out all kinds of resuscitation methods. After 15 minutes, Xu Jianye opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, they were a little empty behind.
“Dad, how do you feel?” Xu Binyi asked nervously.
Xu Jianye was extremely angry when he met Xu Binyi’s gaze. He pointed his finger at his nose but could not utter a single word.
He felt indescribable regret in his heart.
At this moment, Duan Fei came back to her senses and rushed into the house. She gave Xu Binyi a beating.
“It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! Why did you go and provoke the Wu Family? Just because Wu Jingcheng auctioned off a few plots of land that you took a fancy to, you wanted to mess with the Wu family! And you want to mess with Wu Jingzhong. Are you satisfied now that you’ve lost your brother? !… Sob, sob, sob… Whatever, I don’t care! If anything happens to your brother, I’ll make sure your second son won’t have a good fate either!”
Xu Binyi quickly dismissed everyone. He said to Duan Fei, “Sister-in-law, how can you blame me for this? Back then, our Xu family lost a lot of money because we missed out on those few plots of land. When the year-end bonus was due, both you and my brother were causing a ruckus. Only then did we decide to take care of the Wu family. Why are you blaming everything on me now? If something happens to my brother, the Xu family is forever screwed. Our legacy will crumble, so you don’t have to curse me out and add to our misfortune. The most important thing to do right now is to combine our current strength and think of a way to save Big Bro.”
“You’re just bragging now! Save him? How? The Wu family hates us to the bone. Xu Yunyun just got some men to rape Wu Pingting a while ago, and they have something on your brother now. It’d be odd if they don’t torture him to death!”
“The Wu family didn’t do this,” Elder Xu, who was lying on the sofa, said with a pale face.
“If the Wu family didn’t, then who did? Who else hates us so much?” Duan Fei cried and asked.
“Lan Weisong.”
As soon as Old Master Xu said this, Xu Binyi and Duan Fei stopped talking. A sense of panic rose in their hearts.
“Yes, it must be him!” Xu Binyi thought for a moment and nodded. Then, he sat down on the ground and muttered, “We’re finished!”
“You… How do you know it’s Lan Weisong?” Duan Fei did not want to believe that it was true.
Xu Binyi analyzed the situation. “Lan Weisong is a member of the Shi family. Even though he started out in politics late, he rose quickly. Would the Shi family sit back and ignore him, their family’s rising star? Once the Shi family started to pay attention to him, Wu Jingzhong and Big Bro, who were ahead of him, would have to give up their positions. They could either rise or fall. But the Wu family and the Xu family are both local to Sea District. They have very few connections in Emperor District. It’s unlikely that they’ll be able to become an official of the executive hall. So, we blocked Lan Weisong’s path.
“If what happened today was really the Wu family’s doing… Even if they hated Wu Zongxu to his very core, knowing them, they would definitely not kill him. That’s because keeping Wu Zongxu alive might still help them clear Wu Jingzhong’s name. And we didn’t kill Wu Zongxu. Also, that prison guard suddenly visited us, along with the Ministry of Justice. Some with big plans must be behind this. The only person who can control the Xu family right now is Lan Weisong of the Shi family.”
