Chapter 118 Taking Advantage of the Fire
Luo Shiyin was so scared her legs turned to jelly.
Yuanfang, noticing her daze, abruptly pulled his wrist back, slapped her shoulder, and darted off to chase after Yin Tuo Wang.
Yin Tuo Wang descended from the sky, landing with a thud, crushing a few marble tiles with his feet.
Looking at Long Aotian, he had fallen onto the roof of a car, motionless. His bones were shattered, and blood was continuously oozing from his mouth.
Yin Tuo Wang sneered, "Today is your death day!!"
Yuanfang followed closely behind, landing behind him.
Luo Shiyin, her heart filled with urgency to save her savior, jumped down from outside as well.
Leng Tianhao cried and wailed, "Shiyin! Wait for me! Let us be companions in the mortal world, living a carefree life!"
Suddenly, a surge of enormous energy burst from his body, pushing Leng Qingqiu to the ground. He lunged forward, determined to jump down as well.
Huo Wendong had never witnessed such a bizarre plot!
He rushed over, grabbing Leng Tianhao, who had one leg already stepping out, his forehead covered in sweat. "Leng Tianhao! Are you crazy?!"
"Let me go! What's the point of living without Shiyin!?"
"You want to jump off a building?"
"Yes! I want to jump off a building!"
"You freaking sign the contract first, then jump!"
Huo Wendong turned and roared, "Zhang Shuai, Mary! Go! Get the contract! Quickly! Damn it! Running forward!"
His assistant team, like a herd of madmen, rushed back to the previous office, grabbing the contract and running back.
Huo Wendong signed the contract swiftly, handing the other copy to Leng Tianhao. "Sign! You can jump after signing, I don't care!"
Leng Tianhao signed swiftly as well.
Huo Wendong grinned. "Wire the money! Now! Make it effective immediately! Where's the notary public?"Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
Zhang Tuofeng had already arrived upon hearing about the commotion.
"Mr. Huo."
"Notarization, seal, sign! Quickly!"
"This... this situation..."
Huo Wendong held onto Leng Tianhao with one hand, and grabbed Zhang Tuofeng with the other, gnashing his teeth. "Damn it, I'm so pissed off by today's business negotiation, you better not provoke me! You're just a chamber of commerce president, do your job, notarize and certify that these two contracts are valid, and don't talk back!"
Zhang Tuofeng was furious, glancing back at his colleague, who quickly started recording video for evidence.
"I declare that the contracts signed here today unless there are any other..."
"Even if the sky falls, they're valid!" Huo Wendong roared.
"Okay, okay, have you recorded it?"
The colleague nodded. "Recorded."
Zhang Tuofeng also had a temper. He stamped the seal with a click and glared with wide eyes. "Contracts are effective!"
Huo Wendong released Leng Tianhao, snatched the contracts, saw all the signatures, and finally broke into a smile. "Hahaha! Qianfeng Group is mine!"
Leng Tianhao was about to jump down but was pulled back by Lu Chengwen, who slapped him unconscious with a single palm.
Leng Qingqiu, clutching her ankle, walked to Lu Chengwen. "Thank you."
Huo Wendong saw Lu Chengwen appear, his mind filled with confusion. "You... who are you?"
Lu Chengwen smiled. "Lu Chengwen, who else could I be? Don't you recognize your old classmate?"
"Then what was that whole scene just now?"
"I have no idea!" Lu Chengwen looked bewildered. "What happened just now?"
Over there, Leng Qingqiu had signed and sealed the two contracts, and Zhang Tuofeng had notarized them.
Leng Qingqiu sighed and nodded at Lu Chengwen.
Huo Wendong put away the contract, looking at Lu Chengwen. "I don't care what you're up to, I'm leaving! This building is mine from now on!"
"Hahaha!" Lu Chengwen put his arm around Huo Wendong. "Congratulations, Mr. Huo, for acquiring a subsidiary of Qianfeng Group for three hundred billion. Impressive, impressive."
"What are you talking about? I bought Leng Tianhao's shares! Now the entire Qianfeng Group is mine!"
"Ah?" Lu Chengwen said, "That's not right, don't you remember the contract you signed?"
"Are you going to audit the accounts?"
"Yes."
"The project over there has just started, auditing now might cause problems."
"If we don't do it now, the problems will be bigger later. Brother Tuofeng hinted that there's a reason why our funds are being consumed so quickly."
"Understood. Mr. Lu, the Chen family patriarch has made several appointments with you, it's hard to decline."
Lu Chengwen was annoyed. "What do I have to talk about with an old man, it's so annoying. How's your mom?"
"Surgery tonight."
"Find Xu Xuejiao."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xuejiao walked over. "Little Luzi, need your sister for something?"
Lu Chengwen walked up to her. "Thank you for today."
"Just words of thanks?"
"I thank you too." At this moment, Leng Qingqiu walked over. "I was going to greet you, but you weren't in the meeting room."
Xu Xuejiao forced a smile. "You're welcome, I was following Brother Chengwen's instructions, not for you."
Leng Qingqiu also tried to be polite. "I know. But ultimately, I'm the beneficiary, so, thank you anyway."
Lu Chengwen knew that these two women would spark a clash whenever they were together, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Xuejiao, Shihan's mom's surgery is tonight, you should rest early, otherwise you'll be exhausted."
"I'm fine. But you, what's in it for you if I operate on her mom?"
Lu Chengwen said, "You never asked for any benefits before when you treated people."
"That's because I don't need to ask, they'll give benefits, and they always give more than I want."
"Aren't you... a miracle doctor?"
"Lu Chengwen, listen carefully, doctors don't treat everyone. Doctors are also people, I need to use high prices to distinguish my target clients, so I can focus my efforts. I don't treat people for free."
"Alright, alright, name your price, I won't haggle, okay?"
"Sorry, it's not about money."
"Then what do you want?"
Leng Qingqiu knew Xu Xuejiao was about to make a demand that would put Lu Chengwen in a difficult position.
Her tight frown suddenly relaxed, and she smiled. "You two chat, I'll go do my thing."
Xu Xuejiao saw Leng Qingqiu walking away and proudly raised her chin. "I want you to accompany me for a whole day."
"A whole day? Just that?"
"Yes, just that."
"Haha, that's easy."
"Not so simple." Xu Xuejiao said, "Twenty-four hours a day, you have to stay with me. I say what, you do what. Including shopping, eating, watching movies, and sleeping."
Lu Chengwen looked at her. "What are you going to do?"
"There are only a few people in the world who can treat Jiang Shihan's mother's illness. In Xuecheng, besides me, I think only Long Aotian can cure her. Long Aotian jumped off a building, leaving only me, think carefully."
"I don't believe you wouldn't treat her mom if I didn't agree with you."
"You think I haven't been ruthless enough to abandon patients and let them fend for themselves? A doctor's understanding of life is different from yours, think carefully."
A surge of anger rose in Lu Chengwen's heart.
[What the hell is merciful hands! Miraculous hands, yes, but where's the merciful heart?]
[Blackmailing me with a patient! You're inhuman!]
Jiang Shihan was also confused, but it seemed like Xu Xuejiao wasn't going to back down at all.
"Mr. Lu, if that's the case, I think..."
"I agree with you." Lu Chengwen didn't let Jiang Shihan finish, he agreed directly:
"But, if the surgery isn't successful, I refuse to keep my promise."
