Xie Zhuzhou, unfamiliar with the technique, used his Internal Energy to block several of his acupoints, causing himself to faint. However, he accidentally used too much force and ended up sleeping for three days.
During this time, the Ji Family and the Ling Family were at odds. Ling Zhenhe, who was originally the most seriously injured, became the one no one cared about. It was all because of him that Xie Zhuzhou was so frightened that he fell into a coma.
The Ji Family decided to sue him for attempted murder, and then staged a scene where he pretended to be seriously injured in an attempt to extort money from the victims.
Ling Zhenhe, who thought he had already wiped out his enemies, was unaware that all his actions were being recorded by the bodyguards of the Ji Family who were secretly protecting the two brothers.
Ling Zhenhe knew that the end of the horse farm was surrounded by a canal. If he fell into the water, at most he would be hit by a horse and suffer a broken chest or arm. Xie Zhuzhou wouldn't die, and there was no evidence, so there was nothing that could be done to him.
However, his arrogance led him to overlook the fact that he had recorded his own conversation and the entire process of instructing someone to poison the horse.
And then such a huge mistake happened halfway through! Instead of helping Xie Zhuzhou, they ended up losing out themselves.
Xie Zhuzhou was so frightened that he was unconscious for three or four days!
When Xie Zhuzhou's brothers rushed over to settle scores with him, they wanted nothing more than to kill him on the spot. Ji Wangyan, in particular, not only declared that they would be enemies from now on, but also wanted to charge him with intentional homicide.
One incident after another forced him to transfer all his assets to Xie Zhuzhou before the Ji Family "relented."
A mere illegitimate child has caused the Ji Family to go to such lengths, severing all cooperation with the Ling Family and even declaring that they no longer need to address the Ji Family wherever Ling Family are present.
Ling Zhenhe was filled with remorse, but it was too late to undo the damage. He could only bitterly send his belongings to Xie Zhuzhou's name!
Three days later.
When Xie Zhuzhou, he saw Ji Wangyan's angelic face.
"How are you? Is anything bothering you?" Ji Wangyan was filled with regret for taking Xie Zhuzhou to play polo; she never expected that her initial precaution would come true.
Xie Zhuzhou slowly sat up, his voice barely audible, "No, brother, you haven't washed your hair? It's so oily."
Long-haired beauty Ji Wangyan: "..."
Ji Wangyun: "Hahaha... Your third brother has been worried about you for days and nights, staying by your side. How could he possibly have the mind to wash his hair! I never thought that my vain third brother would have a day like this!"
Ji Wangyan covered Ji Wangyun's mouth and threatened, "Second brother, shut up, or I'll stew Aolai."
Ji Wangyun: "..."
Upon receiving the news in his study, Ji Wangchen immediately came over and saw that Xie Zhuzhou's face was pale. He frowned slightly and instructed the steward to have the kitchen prepare a meal to nourish Xie Zhuzhou.
"Brother, I'm fine."
Although Ji Wangchen felt reluctant, he still sternly reprimanded him, "You were too reckless this time. You shouldn't have angered him. If things get out of control, it won't be as simple as just fainting. You should reflect on this for a while and write a 10,000-word self-criticism."
"Don't worry your family anymore. Also, I'll punish the third brother too." After saying this, Ji Wangchen glanced at Ji Wangyan, "You, for making bad friends, 20,000 words."
Ji Wangyan opened his mouth, unable to refute. "..."
"I'm sorry, eldest brother, it has nothing to do with third brother." Xie Zhuzhou was intrigued by the ten-thousand-word self-criticism. He honestly admitted his mistake and, incidentally, tried to save face. "Where is Father?"
"Dad went to work. He came to see you yesterday, but he's busy today." Ji Wangchen thought of Xie Zhuzhou, who lacked fatherly love and looked for his father as soon as he woke up, as cute as a little yellow chick.
The thought of his younger brother being frightened at the horse farm made Ji Wangchen's face darken.
Although they were half-siblings, Ji Wangchen never wanted anything to happen to Xie Zhuzhou.
After exchanging pleasantries like brothers for a while, Xie Zhuzhou finally learned that he had become rich overnight! He had acquired all the assets under the name of the eldest son of the Ling Family.
Ji Wangchen told him that if he was still unhappy, he would not settle the matter privately, but would send Ling Zhenhe to jail directly.
Xie Zhuzhou naturally chose to seek compensation.
Besides, if Ling Zhenhe goes to jail, how will he receive news from the outside world, and how will people know if he's doing well?
Ji Wangyun couldn't help but laugh whenever he saw Xie Zhuzhou, because he always managed to do something funny. "If Master Elder Ling were dead, Ling Zhenhe would have gotten even more of his fortune. Little brother, you missed out on a good time!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuzhou also felt regret, having missed out on hundreds of millions.
But with his older brother present, he could only feign innocence and say, "It's alright, as long as they're sincere. Ultimately, it's because I'm too clueless about social etiquette and offended them."
Ji Wangchen: "..." He's quite self-aware.
Ji Wangyun choked up, "It's good that he doesn't understand social etiquette; he made hundreds of millions in one go, including houses, cars, and two profitable companies under his name."
"Besides the money, let Father handle everything else." Xie Zhuzhou thought that they were only paying this money because of his father, so he wanted to give the majority to his father and keep the smaller portion for himself.
The older brothers, their stomachs rumbling with envy, said, "Little brother, don't be blindly filial! Give some to your older brothers too!"
Xie Zhuzhou earnestly advised him, "It's always better to be down-to-earth and avoid taking shortcuts."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden "ding" sounded in his mind, and he remembered that he had been unconscious for three days! The little blind man must be very worried!
After hurriedly seeing his brothers off, Xie Zhuzhou called Chu Yanzhang without checking the time.
Chu Yanzhang had called Xiao Nan to ask about Xie Zhuzhou's situation and knew that he had fainted from fright. He was very worried, but when Xiao Nan told him that the doctor said Xie Zhuzhou was just too tired and would sleep for a few days, it was not a big deal.
Worried that Xie Zhuzhou might suffer some psychological trauma, Chu Yanzhang couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen a psychologist for counseling?"
Hearing Chu Yanzhang's hoarse voice, Xie Zhuzhou knew that the other person probably hadn't slept well because of him.
"My older brother said that after I finish eating, the doctor will come to talk to me. It turns out it's for psychological counseling."
Are you still scared?
"I'm not afraid anymore." Xie Zhuzhou wasn't actually afraid because he possessed superhuman strength, but he knew that Chu Yanzhang must know what fear was and what terror was.
He dared not bring it up, and so he casually let it go.
The two chatted in the room for a long time, so long that the nutritional meal the butler brought up had gone cold. The butler took the cart away, intending to bring up a fresh one, but his ears were unfortunately receiving some horrifying information.
Their little tyrant son is actually chatting with others in a soft, gentle voice. Isn't that scarier than a horror story?
Xie Zhuzhou stretched and opened the window to see that it was snowing outside. A thin layer covered the green flowerbeds, like cups of matcha milk foam.
He just told his older brother that he didn't understand social etiquette, but that's wrong. He actually understands social etiquette very well, which is why he decided to faint. What Ling Zhenhe is playing are all the tricks they've already learned from their Great Yan banquets and palace intrigues.
He knew that his elder brother had wanted to cut the project with the Ling Family that had been a long-term, but not very profitable, collaboration. By staging this charade, he gave the Ji Family a reason to act.
Although the two families have seemingly fallen out, the Ling Family can't really do anything to the Ji Family. Firstly, the Ji Family is superior to the Ling Family in both wealth and power, and trying to win would only result in mutual destruction. Secondly, the Ji Family holds leverage over Ling Zhenhe, which can be used to restrain him from making any underhanded moves.
Aside from a few minor close calls, Xie Zhuzhou made a profit this time. It's just a pity that his third brother will keep a close eye on him next time he takes him out.
After thinking it over, Xie Zhuzhou covered his mouth, almost bursting out laughing.
-Chu Family
After expensive treatment, Chu Yu's face recovered most of its appearance, but he still couldn't leave the house for a while, including his sister who was furious and acting like a madwoman.
After receiving the news at home that Xie Zhuzhou was unconscious, his swollen face broke into a wide grin, his eyes narrowing into slits.
But when he heard the outcome of the negotiations, he couldn't laugh anymore.
I never expected the Ji Family to dote on this illegitimate child so much. Are they out of their minds?
I heard that Xie Zhuzhou received 300 million yuan, plus more than a dozen houses, a garage full of cars, and two companies worth over 100 million yuan as compensation.
He couldn't even laugh; his face turned ashen.
Xie Zhuzhou was only unconscious for a few days! He didn't have a single external injury!
Damn it, why didn't Chu Yu get such a good opportunity!
