A cruel reality was laid before Grandpa Klopus, which was how to deal with his old partner.
If he didn’t deal with her, there was no doubt that not only Yang Yu but also all future partners cooperating with his family would have to think twice.
What if his spouse took a dislike to soone and splashed sulfuric acid on their face? Wouldn’t that be tragic?
However, if he really dealt with his own spouse, Grandpa Klopus would suffer a blow to his reputation, and the entire family would be ridiculed.
Whether he dealt with her or not, it was wrong.
This was problematic!
"No, I still think it’s not right," Yang Yu said. "If the old lady had an issue with Zhixin, she definitely wouldn’t decide to act against Zhixin on the spot. Instead, she would’ve stopped Leiden and Zhixin from being together imdiately."
"So..." Yang Yu paused, his gaze fixed on Old Lady Ai i. "The root of it all is still the struggle for the family inheritance."
"You’re protecting them, even at the cost of the family’s reputation, because you know that Grandpa Klopus won’t really do anything to you, but he would indeed kill them."
"And you also feel that you won’t live much longer, so even if Grandpa Klopus did kill you, you wouldn’t mind."
"Old lady, why bother with all this? I, Yang Yu, might not be able to cure cancer, but I can make you live a life free from sickness to over a hundred years old. To put it simply, if you keep taking my dicine, it can prevent the cancer from worsening."
"I’m not using this to threaten you. I just want to say to those pulling strings behind the scenes, if you really want your own mother or grandmother to die to cover for you, then just continue to remain silent."
"As long as it’s proven that this matter has nothing to do with the old lady, I will imdiately provide the dicine."
Yang Yu’s strategy was very clever, and everyone could see that it was an overt sche, yet they had to take the bait.
If they wanted the old lady to live, they had to co forward and confess.
If they didn’t co forward, it implied that they wanted the old lady to die.
The old lady protected them so much, yet they continued to hide. Even if the old lady truly wanted to help them to the end, there would always be a knot in her heart.
Brilliant, this move was simply brilliant.
Grandpa Klopus nodded in approval, increasingly valuing Yang Yu.
Being assertive when necessary, and reasonable when appropriate, he gave the impression of being capable without coming across as overbearing, showing great judgent in handling matters.
Such talent, the bigger the stage, the greater the achievent.
"Haha, who are you fooling with that nonsense?" the old lady scoffed. "If you really had that skill, you would be a god of this world!"
"I can prove it right here and now," Yang Yu casually took out an Earth Origin Pill. "Just take this dicine, and I guarantee that all your body’s trics will imdiately normalize. And with just this one pill, you won’t need to undergo chemotherapy or take any other dication for the next five years."
Looking at the Earth Origin Pill in Yang Yu’s hand, a glimr of longing for life still flashed in the old lady’s eyes.
If one could live, who would choose to die?
Although she was almost eighty this year, if she could live to a hundred, that ant she still had twenty years to live!
Just then, a middle-aged man stood out and roared, "Mom, don’t believe him! What if it’s poison?"
All eyes turned to the middle-aged man, their gazes filled with speechlessness.
Yang Yu had barely made a move, and he couldn’t wait to expose himself.
With such little tact, how could he ever compete with Yang Yu?
The middle-aged man realized he had revealed a flaw and quickly explained, "Even if my mom only has three months to live, we should keep looking for ways to make her live, not let her consu this dubious pill!"
"Pierre, if you only had three months to live, would you give up a hope that could save you?" Grandpa Klopus said slowly, "Besides, do you think Yang Yu would, under everyone’s gaze, need to poison soone who is only going to live for another three months?"
"Dad, I, I..." Pierre stamred, unable to co up with a rebuttal.
A man around Leiden’s age stepped forward and bowed deeply to Grandpa Klopus, "Grandpa, my dad did this for , and I am willing to take full responsibility. If soone must be killed to preserve the family’s authority, then let it be ... Ah!"
Yang Yu grabbed his throat and hoisted him up, "Do you have such a death wish? Then I shall fulfill it!"
Yang Yu squeezed hard, the bones in the man’s throat cracking audibly as his face turned red and purple.
"I’ll ask you one last ti, do you want to die or live?" Yang Yu’s eyes were terrifyingly fierce, and nobody doubted that if the man said, "I want to die," Yang Yu wouldn’t hesitate to oblige!
"I... don’t want... to die..." The young man finally expressed his instinctive will to live, and Yang Yu imdiately let go, shrugging his shoulders, "See, this is the courage possessed by soone willing to die for their father."
Most people present were sharp, and they quickly understood Yang Yu’s intention, feeling utterly impressed with him in their hearts.
The young man was clearly attempting to morally blackmail Grandpa Klopus; if Grandpa Klopus actually killed him, he would surely face criticism for executing such a filial grandson.
Thus, the final outco would be that Grandpa Klopus wouldn’t kill any of them, at most just administer a punishnt.
Yang Yu had acted to prevent Grandpa Klopus from being blackmailed, playing the villain himself to reveal the young man’s true nature to everyone.
How could a man who feared death truly die for another, even if that person were his father?
"Alright, the ga is over," Yang Yu snapped his fingers. "You can continue with your engagent ceremony. I’m hungry and want sothing to eat."
"Oh, and Grandma, take this Earth Origin Pill as a gift; consu it right away before soone tampers with it and turns it into poison. Otherwise, I couldn’t clear my na even if I jumped into your sea."
"Although I dislike your prejudice against people from Xia Country, you are nevertheless a great mother, so I have ultimately decided to save your life."
The old lady held the Earth Origin Pill in her hand, her emotions extrely complex.
The son she had fought so hard to protect actually feared she would betray him and didn’t want her to live, while her adversary wanted to save her life, an astonishing irony!
"Bring them in." At Grandpa Klopus’ command, several bodyguards stepped forward, "Take Pierre back to the family estate for the family rules to deal with! And Father Roddy, guard him until the police co."
"Yes, Family Head." The bodyguards took Pierre and Father Roddy away, and the church returned to tranquility.
However, this tranquility was painfully awkward.
Leiden spread his hands helplessly, "Without the priest, what do we do about our engagent ceremony?"
