249: Chapter 249: Old Thief!
You Dare to Commit Suicide?
Hospital ward building.
As soon as Wu Jie entered the lobby, he saw two distinct groups of people.
One group, led by Xu Xinyi, was larger and was discussing sothing animatedly.
The other group, only about a dozen people, surrounded the beautiful wife of Xu Changshan and were also engaged in heated discussion.
Upon seeing Wu Jie, Xu Xinyi imdiately ran over.
“Where’s Tang Xiao?
Why hasn’t she co?
Is she even refusing to see my dad for the last ti?”
The mont she spoke, Xu Xinyi’s tone was full of interrogation.
Wu Jie was taken aback and chuckled, “Why should she co?
Is your dad really that bad off?”
Xu Xinyi’s expression imdiately fell, and she said somberly:
“Since yesterday, the hospital hasn’t given him any dication, I went to apologize to those doctors, but they said there’s really nothing they can do!”
“At noon, two uncles even paid for doctors from other hospitals to co, but they too just shook their heads and sighed.”
“The key issue is that my dad really can’t stand the pain anymore, he’s given up himself.”
Wu Jie swept his gaze around, laughing, “So, the inheritance battle between you and your stepmom has officially escalated?”
“Escalated?
It’s already over!”
Xu Xinyi pointed upstairs, “My dad has had the lawyer draft his will, including property, stocks, bonds and the like, and the only variable now is his personal savings!”
“He said he shouldn’t have caused my aunt’s death.
He’s always felt very guilty over the years, sorry for Tang Xiao, so he wants to compensate her, no idea how much he’ll give her!”
“Plus, I heard that many years ago he opened an anonymous Swiss bank account, ready to escape abroad at a mont’s notice, probably with quite a bit of money in it!”
…
Wu Jie simply smiled, unconcerned.
Money?
God damn it, now I’m so poor that all I have left is money!
How much could Xu Changshan have?
Could he have two billion Gold Coins like the Xu family?
“Hey, I’m talking to you, why aren’t you saying anything?” Xu Xinyi asked curiously, “If Tang Xiao doesn’t co, does it an she also refuses to accept the compensation?”
Wu Jie rolled his eyes.
“So now you’ve got your eyes glued only on that bit of savings your dad has, huh?
You’d rather even I didn’t co, so you could get a larger share?”
Xu Xinyi, unashad and rather proud, laughed and said:
“When soone’s about to die, should I really cry my eyes out in despair, to the point of collapsing in grief?”
“At this critical juncture, every penny counts!
Don’t you think that’s right?”
Wu Jie humphed a laugh and walked away.
“Hey, when you see my dad, don’t forget to remind him that he only has one daughter!
I can’t be without money!”
Xu Xinyi shouted loudly.
Wu Jie, without uttering a word, headed straight for the elevator.
At this mont, he inexplicably found himself the object of hatred.
After all, everyone knew Wu Jie was here to ‘collect money’ for Tang Xiao.
The more compensation Xu Changshan gave to Tang Xiao, the less they would be able to divide among themselves.
Ding!
Just as he stepped out of the elevator, Wu Jie heard the wretched cries and howls of Xu Changshan.
Walking into the ward, two fierce-looking, muscular n were standing on either side of the bed.
There was also a middle-aged man with glasses, genteel in appearance, fiddling with a laptop.
Behind him on the accompanying bed was a printer.
A file bag, presumably the will, was already sealed with lead.
“Hello Mr.
Wu, I am Mr.
Xu’s personal lawyer, my last na is Wang, you can call Lawyer Wang!”
“Hello there, Wang!”
Lawyer Wang was montarily taken aback, his smile instantly awkward.
I’m the well-known bigwig lawyer from Tianyuan, what the hell are you, a pretty boy, counting for?
Daring to call ‘little Wang’?
Wu Jie grinned sheepishly.
Being hated by this so-called crappy lawyer once actually added five thousand energy points to him.
Seems like he hasn’t made little money following Xu Changshan.
Striding to the bedside, Wu Jie looked down at Xu Changshan with a cold sneer.
He was struggling in pain, in an agonizing living death.
Due to intermittent abdominal pain and diarrhea, he must have made quite a ss, so even through the blanket, one could sll a stench of feces and urine.
“You boasted the other night in the restaurant that you’d eventually kill , said you’d beat every ti we t until I knelt and begged for rcy.”
“Why are you about to die now when I’m still alive and kicking?”
Wu Jie spoke with a frivolous tone, his gaze filled with provocation.
Xu Changshan endured the pain, glaring fiercely at Wu Jie.
But…
that was all he could do.
He could hardly speak clearly, let alone scold soone.
And hitting soone…
he could only wish.
After Wu Jie’s bout of provocation, his brows knitted together.
Ding!
[System: Harvested Xu Changshan’s hatred 10000]
What the heck!
Just yesterday, I was hit with 29,000 hatred points, so why is it only 10,000 today?
In an instant, Wu Jie understood.
The damn guy made a will, didn’t he?
His fortune plumted, so the energy points from his hatred also significantly decreased.
“Mr.
Wu!!”
Lawyer Wang suddenly stepped forward, “Please stop attacking Mr.
Xu, he’s already in great pain!”
“I’m attacking him?
I’m just speaking the truth!”
Wu Jie chuckled, “Just like yesterday when I advised Xu Xinyi to settle the inheritance as soon as possible, it’s the truth.
Am I wrong?”
Shit!
All four of the Xu Changshan’s group were shocked.
Especially Xu Changshan, his eyes nearly popping out.
Wu Jie, you bastard!
What a scoundrel!
I’m not dead yet, and here you are, kicking while I’m down, sowing discord and turning my wife and daughter against each other!
Xu Changshan trembled with rage, utterly infuriated.
Wu Jie didn’t make another sound, learning from yesterday’s lesson.
He couldn’t piss Xu Changshan off to death, or how would he continue to pull in the hatred?
“Wang!” Wu Jie turned his head towards Lawyer Wang.
Lawyer Wang’s face was extrely grim as he indignantly said:
“I’m quite a bit older than you, aren’t I?
You actually call Wang?
Don’t you know to respect your elders and love the young?”
“Then I’ll call you Wang, shall I?”
“You’re the damn ‘old’ one!”
Lawyer Wang was almost faint with anger.
Wu Jie burst into laughter, “Birds of a feather flock together!
Xu Changshan is a narrow-minded guy, but who would’ve thought that even a lawyer like you would be so petty!”
“I’m narrow-minded?
I’m petty?
You were the one who disrespected first!”
Lawyer Wang retorted indignantly.
Cough, cough, cough…
The sound of Xu Changshan’s violent coughing made Lawyer Wang hold back his anger.
Picking up his notebook, Lawyer Wang walked over to Wu Jie, handed him a sealed envelope, and pointed to the screen, saying:
“Enter Tang Xiao’s bank card number here, and don’t forget to bring the letter back to her!”
Wu Jie weighed the envelope and glanced over at Xu Changshan.
“Is this your apology will to Tang Xiao?”
“These days, even ordering takeout includes a delivery fee.
I ran all the way here for you.
What about my overti pay, hardship allowance, travel expenses?”
With that, he truly infuriated the four of them.
“How can you be so callous?
Your words are venomous, and you’re way too rcenary, aren’t you?”
Grinding his teeth, Lawyer Wang pulled out two bundles of cash from his briefcase and threw them at Wu Jie.
“Want a fee?
Take this!
And hurry up, put in Tang Xiao’s account number!”
Wu Jie chuckled, pocketing the money and the envelope, then entered Tang Xiao’s card number into the system, looking at his phone for reference.
“Done, transfer the money now!”
Lawyer Wang imdiately carried the notebook over to Xu Changshan, then turned his back along with the other two.
With clenched teeth and through his pain, Xu Changshan personally carried out the transaction, and after completing it, he let out a couple of grunts.
Lawyer Wang turned back, picked up the notebook, and showed Wu Jie the successful transfer screen.
“See that?
You can go now!”
“Go?
Now that I’m here, I should at least say goodbye, shouldn’t I?”
Wu Jie smiled with narrowed eyes, looking at Xu Changshan:
“Are you going to drink poison, slit your throat, hang yourself, or jump from a building?”
“For soone as wicked as you, have you ever had your fortune told to find out when would be the most auspicious ti to die?”
