Ding!

[System: Gained 40,000 Hatred Points from Yuan Shikui]

Ding! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

...

Time after time, the good news was positively overwhelming.

Yuan Shikui was really something!

Hatred worth 40,000 energy points in one go!

Damn it!

How filthy rich could he be?

Even more than Xu Kuishan’s hatred by a whole 4,000.

Who would have thought that there was such an incredible magnate in Tianyuan City!

But then again, upon reflection, it made sense.

What does Yuan Shikui do?

His Tianyuan He Ying Credit Co. was listed three years ago.

Comparable to a bank, it absorbed plenty of investors’ idle money and granted loans to numerous clients.

Just from the interest differential alone, the profits were exorbitant.

Not to mention, Yuan Shikui himself came from a finance background, held strong capital, and caused storms in the stock market, crazily seizing massive profits.

Tsk tsk!

He was really a hidden tycoon!

Having caught such a formidable figure, Wu Jie naturally went all out in the confrontation.

Yuan Shikui couldn’t get a word in edgewise but was about to explode with rage.

He didn’t want anything to do with Wu Jie, but out of politeness—after all, Wu Jie did save his son—he reluctantly offered to treat him to lunch. Who knew it would lead to such an aggressive spat.

Cursing and cursing, Wu Jie ran out of words.

Suddenly unable to find better adjectives to criticize Yuan Shikui.

At that moment of pause, Yuan Shikui finally found an opportunity to speak.

"Mr. Wu!!"

"Is there any point in cursing me like this? I don’t even know what you’re talking about!"

"I’m aware of the incident at Tianyuan Orphanage last night, and I know that the girl’s name is Yuan Zihan, same as my surname!"

"But what does that prove? If sharing a surname is enough proof of being her biological father, wouldn’t everyone in the world with the surname Yuan be her dad? You’re just talking nonsense!"

Wu Jie scoffed, "I’m talking nonsense? If I hadn’t thoroughly investigated, would I talk such nonsense?"

"Six years ago, wasn’t your eldest daughter adopted by your wife’s uncle? Isn’t she currently in kindergarten?"

Yuan Shikui retorted angrily, "That’s right. I don’t like daughters. Why should I hand over the vast fortune I’ve earned as a dowry for a daughter? I want to raise the best son to take over my business and inheritance!"

"What about your second daughter, then? The one born four years ago? Who did you give her to?"

Wu Jie bellowed loudly.

Yuan Shikui snorted, "I gave her to my business partner Kong, okay!"

Wu Jie ground his teeth, "So, you two haven’t been in touch since then, right? But he was rushing to flee the country with his family. Giving your daughter to him, isn’t that clearly making him help you abandon her?"

Yuan Shikui shouted in fury,

"Nonsense! The business he partnered with me on was just a part of his portfolio. It was only later that I found out he was involved in financial fraud, and to avoid arrest, he suddenly took off to another country. As for my second daughter, why would I care if she’s dead or alive?"

"If I’m willing to give her away to someone else, do I even need to bother with her? Even if the girl lying in the hospital is Yuan Zihan and is indeed my biological daughter, so what?"

Wu Jie was taken aback.

Frick!

I’ve met my match!

Utterly shameless and utterly brazen.

But then again, who would have expected any different? A guy who could relentlessly press for loan repayment to the point of driving someone to death, solely focused on profit, would he care about saving face?

Tang Xiao, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

This was top-tier drama!

It wasn’t just the shouting match between Wu Jie and Yuan Shikui that was spectacular.

Nor was it just Wu Jie’s scolding that was profoundly satisfying.

It was Wu Jie’s method of ’detective work.’ It was simply uncanny!

No hard evidence!

Just a strong suspicion was enough for him to launch into the offensive.

In aggravating Yuan Shikui, he had pretty much admitted to it!

But that brought up a problem.

Yuan Shikui was just too damn shameless.

Let him take the initiative to admit that Yuan Zihan is his biological daughter, and stand up to provide her with bone marrow...

The difficulty is just overwhelming!

"Mr. Wu!"

"I’ll give you a pass today in consideration of you saving my son, so I won’t hold this against you!"

"Now the internet is in an uproar, with millions of netizens crazily doxxing, but what’s the point?"

"If I don’t admit it, if I don’t show up, what can you do to me?"

"I was able to abandon her four years ago, and I can ignore her even more today. I’m biased towards sons over daughters, I just don’t like having a daughter!"

"So what? You gonna call the cops on me?"

"That’s right! Aren’t you the son-in-law of the Tang Family from Tianyuan? Oh, the mighty Tang Family from Tianyuan! So scary! Such an impressive clan!"

"Then come on! If you have the guts, have someone arrest me. I’m an American citizen now, I can fly away anytime!"

...

Yuan Shikui started to fight back!

He was domineering and arrogant!

Tang Xiao just couldn’t hold back anymore.

She cursed loudly into Wu Jie’s cell phone:

"Yuan Shikui, you piece of trash!"

"How could such a sweet and adorable little girl like Yuan Zihan have you as her beast of a father?"

"You don’t care for her, you don’t acknowledge her, but you could at least save her!"

"To see her die without lifting a finger, are you even human?"

"You bastard! Why don’t you say something?"

After her furious outburst, Tang Xiao furrowed her brows tightly.

She was on her period and her temper was explosive.

Yuan Shikui’s shameless ruckus really hit a nerve.

However, he seemed completely unafraid of the Tang Family from Tianyuan.

It might be because he was rich enough, or perhaps because he had powerful backing behind the scenes.

So, he was recklessly brazen to the extreme.

Suddenly!

From the phone, a burst of loud laughter could be heard.

"Judging by that tone, you must be the domineering CEO Tang Xiao, right?"

"Coming from a family with big business, no wonder you talk differently!"

"What, you want to force me to go and save Yuan Zihan? Am I so full that I need to save her?"

As soon as the voice fell, Wu Jie interjected with a cold laugh:

"You don’t have to save her! It’s alright if you do nothing, if you turn a deaf ear!"

"Anyway... don’t you have a house in Tianyuan Haoting?"

"Your son and your mother should still be in the community right now, shouldn’t they?"

Yuan Shikui suddenly erupted in anger, "What the hell do you want to do? Dare touch a hair on my son’s head, and believe it or not, I’ll kill you!!"

Wu Jie chuckled, "Oh, don’t you worry about that. I’m just going to have your son donate bone marrow, not his hairs. Besides, medical technology is very advanced nowadays; extracting a bit of bone marrow won’t cause any harm at all. What are you worried about?"

"I don’t agree! I finally have such a son, if you dare to mess around, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Yuan Shikui’s roar was hysterical, filled with extreme anger.

As if Wu Jie had already taken his son away to extract bone marrow!

"Stop threatening me! You’re so heartless, not even saving your own daughter, and you blame me for being impolite?"

After a brief pause, Wu Jie gave Tang Xiao a look.

"Oh right, you’re an American citizen? If you’re capable, take your whole family out of the country right now!"

Tang Xiao took out her phone and began to send messages immediately.

Her fiery temper couldn’t care less about the consequences!

Although she knew Yuan Shikui had substantial influence behind the scenes, building up such a big online lending business and even going public...

Could his backing be weak?

But for the sake of Yuan Zihan, to save an innocent life, it was worth the fight!

After two seconds of silence, Yuan Shikui snarled furiously:

"Fuck! Your! Mother!"

"If you need bone marrow so damn much, go find my eldest daughter! Don’t you know she’s in kindergarten?"

"Why are you specifically after my treasured son, Yuan Yutong? Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
