906: Chapter 898: Despicable Human Nature!
Death is Deserved!
Roasted dium-rare?
What does that an?
A funeral parlor isn’t a barbecue joint.
Is it possible to fry Kong Hailin’s body as if it were a steak?
And have it done rare?
dium?
Well-done?
Isn’t it just cremated directly into ashes, then placed into a box for the family to take away?
The two agents glanced at each other, sowhat perplexed, yet they couldn’t help but want to laugh.
But who would dare hesitate on Wu Jie’s orders?
Their eyes t in an instant, and, with a silent agreent, one stayed while the other went to notify the doctor.
Seeing this, the Kong Family imdiately panicked.
It was bad enough that Wu Jie was indirectly cursing and spewing mad insults to hold onto his fortune and avoid jail, swallowing his anger in humiliation.
But now to stop dications and oxygen, and even take him to the funeral parlor to be roasted dium-rare…
What did that an?
Even if Old Mr.
Kong had committed severe cris and was unforgivable, wasn’t it too much to treat and humiliate him like this?
“Stop!!”
A middle-aged man in designer clothes suddenly roared,
“What are you trying to do?
Huh?”
“Even if the old man is guilty, he should be tried according to law.
What do you an?
Are you resorting to lynching?”
“Is there no law anymore?
No morality?
No justice?”
His string of loud questioning was forceful and authoritative.
Probably really was a teacher.
He must sound just as loud and awakening in his classroom when teaching.
However…
The situation was exceedingly awkward.
The departing agent didn’t even pause, heading directly to the doctor’s office.
They completely ignored his shouting, acting as if they heard nothing.
And other mbers of the Kong Family also seed very agitated.
After all, it was their own flesh and blood – deeper than affection!
“You can’t be serious, Mr.
Wu?
You must be joking, right?”
“Old Mr.
Kong, despite his heinous cris and being unforgivable, surely doesn’t deserve to die in the hospital like this!”
“Mr.
Wu, please have rcy, don’t let the old man die today!”
As Wu Jie watched their hypocritical faces, he felt nauseated.
“All of you, shut up!”
“Why all the fuss?
What’s there to fuss about?”
“Kong Hailin committed suicide for his cris, right?
He didn’t want to live anymore, so why did you bother resuscitating him?”
“His death would be a good riddance for you, wouldn’t it?
Whether there’s bribery involved or not, his death ans no proof!
How perfect!”
“Besides, if he attempted suicide today, can you guarantee that future attempts will also be discovered in ti?”
“Since he doesn’t want to live anymore, why keep him alive at all?
Aren’t you afraid he might confess suddenly, dragging you down too?”
Wu Jie’s relentless questioning silenced these cunning villains imdiately.
Their eyes t, seemingly agreeing that Wu Jie had a point.
With Old Mr.
Kong’s death, many secrets would stay hidden forever – how convenient!
It seed Wu Jie was considering everyone’s best interest?
But why roast Old Mr.
Kong dium-rare instead of cremating him?
That seed excessively cruel!
Yet, they dared not ask such questions.
They increasingly saw Wu Jie as a demon, utterly ruthless.
“My child gets out of kindergarten now.
I have to pick him up!”
One astute person imdiately tried to escape.
It was not a good idea to stay long here.
Who knew when Wu Jie might suddenly pull out a gun and begin a bloodletting spree?
The fresh blood from Kong Heng on the ground hadn’t even dried yet, still strikingly red.
Should they stay here waiting to be arrested and interrogated?
With the first one making a move, there would imdiately be a second.
“My kid’s also getting out of school, I need to get going too!”
Another person wanted to leave.
Seeing this, the others quickly realized they shouldn’t stay any longer.
Whatever fate Old Mr.
Kong faced or where he died didn’t matter to them anymore.
Why fuss over a punishnt-bound old man?
They might as well consider Old Mr.
Kong as having successfully committed suicide today, already dead.
What did it matter to them if Wu Jie wanted to roast him or not?
Enduring small discomforts prevents great sches from failing!
Getting emotional for Old Mr.
Kong’s dignity?
That might just cost them dearly.
“Stop!!”
Wu Jie called out coldly.
The two n, who had started to step away, hesitated for a mont as if they hadn’t heard, then hurried off.
But…
They were imdiately blocked by the agents.
“Since you’re here already, why the rush, why panic?”
“The doctor is coming soon; won’t you see off your family head?”
“After all, he’s the leader of your family, bound by blood!
Not even a last look, wouldn’t that be utterly ungrateful?”
Wu Jie’s cold laugh and pointed questions directly hit a sore spot.
Wasn’t it said that I’m heartless and unjust?
If they removed Kong Hailin’s IV and oxygen tubing, he’d die very soon.
According to local customs, before an elder’s death, the younger generations try their best to see them one last ti for a peaceful departure.
At that mont.
If they just walked away without caring,
That would indeed give others a good reason to curse them!
Filial piety cos first!
Kong Hailin might be evil, but he was still the most respected elder in the Liuli City Kong Family, and the senior who had raised these younger generations, who certainly deserved their respect.
Hesitant, uncertain, awkward…
Everyone seed like ducks being forced onto a perch, very unwilling.
But no one dared to leave, nor could they.
The agents blocked both sides of the hallway; without Wu Jie’s order, they would not let anyone through.
“Well… I’ll wait a little longer then.”
The woman who initially wanted to pick up her child imdiately changed her tune.
No choice!
The special forces’ hands had already reached for their holsters, intending a direct breach.
Was this not seeking death?
And the others had reluctantly returned.
One by one, they stood at the entrance of the ICU, with heads bowed and ears open.
At that mont.
The special forces called over Kong Hailin’s attending physician and nurse.
The Kong Family mbers saw the doctor and wanted to say sothing but dared not.
Wu Jie raised his hand towards the ICU, asking the doctor,
“How is Kong Hailin’s condition now?
If we stop the oxygen and IV imdiately, when would he die?”
The doctor awkwardly said,
“This… The patient’s surgery was very successful.
Stopping the IV will leave him hungry but won’t kill him, and stopping the oxygen will only increase the burden on his heart and lungs, but it won’t worsen his condition!”
“What?” Wu Jie said coldly, “Then why put him in the ICU?”
“It’s just routine procedure after major surgery, for better observation and to prevent bacterial infection.
But now he can be moved to another place!”
“Good, move him imdiately!”
After instructing this, Wu Jie watched the doctors and nurses enter the ICU, then rubbed his chin and looked towards the group cowering before him.
“You all heard what the doctor said, right?
Your old man wouldn’t die even if we stopped the dication and oxygen!”
“For us investigating, of course, this is good news, but for you…”
Wu Jie smiled wickedly, “Why don’t you all help out and finish him off in the general ward later?”
“Otherwise, I’ll use special thods to make him confess.
That would be tragic for you!”
“What’s wrong?
Why just stand there?
Don’t look at like that!
I’m rely offering you so strategic advice!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged male teacher imdiately retorted,
“Mr.
Wu, I know you suspect us.
Since you can’t get us to confess willingly, you’re trying to trick us into murdering the old man so that you can arrest and investigate us with full justification!”
Wu Jie chuckled, “Oh, well done!
With your intelligence and reaction speed, being a primary school teacher is an understatent.
You should be a university lecturer!”
The middle-aged man chuckled.
Having seen through Wu Jie’s tricks seed to give him a sense of accomplishnt.
He couldn’t help but hold his head up, looking rather learned and wise.
But Wu Jie didn’t spare him another glance and instead instructed the special forces,
“Since Kong Hailin is out of danger now, send him back!”
“This suicide attempt was unsuccessful.
Kong Hailin will certainly try a second or third ti!”
“Since he’s bound to kill himself sooner or later, take these filial piety-driven folks back with him, so there’s soone to handle his body when he dies!”
No sooner had Wu Jie spoken than the middle-aged man objected.
“What do you an… We haven’t committed any cris, why should you detain us?”
Wu Jie laughed in surprise, “What?
Am I detaining you?
I’m simply helping you perform your filial duties.”
“Perform what filial duties?
You’re rely putting us under soft detention, why bother looking for such a dignified reason?”
The middle-aged man continued to argue, and others clearly agreed, all evidently reluctant to go back with him.
To be locked in a small room, consuming endless cups of tea.
What for?
To collect Kong Hailin’s body and perform their filial duties after he commits suicide?
And if he doesn’t commit suicide, wouldn’t they end up imprisoned alongside him?
Seeing the group, led by the middle-aged man, clearly unwilling to return with Kong Hailin,
Wu Jie gave a cold smile.
“The sheep kneels to feed, the crow returns kindness.
I kindly and well-aningly gave you the chance to perform filial duties, but how did it turn out?”
“You framing and defaming is not important, but what if he succeeds in killing himself?
How do we handle it?”
“He’s not our relative, sending him to a mortuary takes ti, digging a grave is too tiring, better to throw the body in the wilderness for the wild dogs!”
“As his younger relatives, is this how you honor an elder?
Doesn’t your conscience ache?”
After pausing for a mont, Wu Jie sneered and questioned,
“What?
Do you think I can’t do it?
Or do you doubt that Kong Hailin won’t try to kill himself again?”
“If that’s the case, if there really are ghosts and spirits in this world, Kong Hailin, dying with nowhere to be buried and becoming a vengeful ghost, will only haunt you ungrateful descendants!”
As his words fell, the door to the intensive care unit opened.
Kong Hailin on the hospital bed had indeed aged a lot.
Wu Jie rembered the last ti he saw him, he had enthusiastically asked Wu Jie to spar with his obedient grandson, Kong Heng.
Back then, he was still quite wise and valiant, brimming with a military aura in his speech and deanor.
But now…
His face was sallow, his cheekbones protruding.
Kong Hailin, in a coma, had already had his oxygen mask removed and his IV lines taken out.
After a glance, Wu Jie turned his gaze toward the people from the Kong family.
At that mont, each of them displayed different expressions and attitudes.
After all, blood is thicker than water.
So people could no longer hold back, covering their mouths as they wept bitterly.
Others were forcibly holding back, truly wishing they could take the old man and flee far away.
Wu Jie also noticed soone wanting to reach out and touch Old Mr.
Kong but not daring to.
“Enough!
Send him back, and don’t provide any special care!”
“If he wants to hang or hit the wall, let him be!”
“You can even place so ropes or knives in his room to make it easier for him to commit suicide!”
“Raising a bunch of ungrateful descendants like white-eyed wolves, it really is aningless for him to keep living!”
With that, Wu Jie waved his hand and had the security take Kong Hailin away.
As for a few people from the Kong family, tears welled up as they watched the hospital bed moving further and further away…
“Old Master!!”
Soone finally couldn’t hold back and had a breakdown in emotions.
They cried out loud and rushed over.
The other few people also couldn’t hold back and rushed over to say goodbye.
After all…
In a sense, this was really the last ti.
The cris committed by Kong Hailin were enough to warrant execution hundreds of tis over, according to Elder Tan, not even shooting by cannon could atone for his cris.
His corruption, his abuse of power for personal gain had brought about trendous losses.
Therefore, he opted for suicide.
And it absolutely wouldn’t be just this once, he would definitely continue to attempt suicide to avoid public trial.
So…
For his relatives, the parting now was indeed a forever goodbye.
“Stop your damn crying, co on!
Take them all away!”
Wu Jie imdiately ordered.
These guys were only focused on crying their eyes out, no longer harboring any resentnt toward their brother.
Since there were no more points to be earned, why waste any more words?
The security quickly took everyone away, and the hallway finally quieted down.
Wu Jie turned to visit Shu ngyan in the special care ward.
But unexpectedly…
An urgent phone call suddenly ca in.
“What?
Kong Heng managed to escape?”
