Chapter 154: Beautiful Dream Shattered
As soon as Jiang Tianzong thought of that possibility, his whole body trembled with excitement.
After all, only if something happened to Nan Yuanman after drinking that stuff would the Feng family members react so strongly.
He didn’t think this matter would fail. Nan Yuanman was still young now, had no defenses against Jiang Lixuan, and moreover, the Feng family members knew nothing about those things. For Jiang Lixuan to succeed was only natural.
And the Feng family members’ aggressive reaction also indirectly told him that the matter had succeeded!
Jiang Tianzong couldn’t help but reveal a pleased smile on his face. The anxiety on his face vanished completely, and he no longer panicked about the plummeting stock.
What was a falling stock now? As long as he obtained Nan Yuanman’s good fortune, he believed that the money lost now would return many times over!
He also didn’t think the Feng family would find the master’s trace at the old house. The master was much more perceptive than him and would hide himself well.
Now, he just needed to wait for the Jiang family to successfully seize the good fortune on Nan Yuanman.
The master had said that Nan Yuanman was a rare ten-lifetime good person with deep blessings on her. Her good fortune could make the Jiang family leap to become the richest in the nation! Even… the Jiang family could enter the power circle!
By then, what were those wealthy families in Shangjing? They would all be defeated by the Jiang family! The humiliation he suffered today, he would return it all to Nan Yuanman and the Feng family one by one!
While Jiang Tianzong was fantasizing about a bright future, Jiang Lixuan forcefully pushed open the hospital room door, carrying the thermos with a cold face and stormed in aggressively.
Jiang Tianzong’s gaze quickly fell on the thermos. Seeing that the lidless thermos contained not a drop of the rock sugar stewed pear left, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, and he became much kinder toward Jiang Lixuan: “Lixuan, you’re here. How is Yuanman… ah!”
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Lixuan smashed the thermos at him forcefully.
With a bang, the thermos smashed heavily onto Jiang Tianzong’s face, and Jiang Tianzong let out a miserable scream.
He covered his bruised and purple nose bridge, glaring angrily at Jiang Lixuan: “Jiang Lixuan! Are you crazy? You actually dare to hit your dad!”
“You don’t deserve to be my dad!” Jiang Lixuan roared emotionally, rushing forward to grab Jiang Tianzong’s collar and punching him in the face again: “You’ve let down my mom and my sister, that’s one thing! But you beast actually wanted to lay hands on Yuanman too!”
“Jiang Tianzong! Yuanman is only five years old! Don’t you fear being struck by lightning?!”
Jiang Tianzong, who had suffered a major blow today and was still weak, was no match for the young and strong Jiang Lixuan. He was pinned on the hospital bed and beaten several times.
Jiang Tianzong angrily shoved him away forcefully: “I’m not doing this for the good of our Jiang family too! If I weren’t maneuvering behind the scenes, where would your good days come from?!”
“Sacrificing her one person benefits the entire Jiang family! This counts as accumulating merit and blessings for her too!”
“Sacrificing her? Ha! You wouldn’t think I actually let Yuanman drink what you gave me today, would you?” Jiang Lixuan saw that Jiang Tianzong showed no regret at all and knew what he was thinking. He sneered: “Sorry to disappoint you. Yuanman didn’t drink it.”
Jiang Tianzong’s eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in shock: “What did you say?! She didn’t drink it?!”
Jiang Lixuan: “Not only did she not drink it, I also spilled the stuff.”
Jiang Tianzong’s vision went black. He clutched his chest and immediately slumped onto the bed. Nan Yuanman didn’t drink it, but the Feng family still went to the Jiang family old house. Doesn’t that mean… he and the master were both exposed?!
Jiang Lixuan watched him coldly as he collapsed on the hospital bed, with no intention of helping to call a doctor.
“You, you unfilial son! The Jiang family! The Jiang family will be ruined by you! Ruined by you!” Jiang Tianzong wanted to crawl up from the bed and immediately return to the old house to find the master, but the blow he suffered was too great. His hands and feet were weak, and after struggling for a long time, he still couldn’t get up.
His face was ashen, and he pointed shakily at Jiang Lixuan, roaring loudly.
Jiang Lixuan sneered: “All rotten people, still wasting air alive. It’d be better if you all died!”
“Get out! Get out!!” Jiang Tianzong slapped the bed forcefully, roaring at him.
Jiang Lixuan rolled his eyes and turned around, striding out of the hospital room.
Jiang Tianzong shakily took out his mobile phone and dialed the hidden number in his call history, but no matter how many times he called, that number still didn’t connect.
After calling the hundredth time, Jiang Tianzong understood that he and the Jiang family had been abandoned by the master!
Thinking of the now teetering company and his shattered dreams, the greatly devastated Jiang Tianzong felt a sweetness in his throat. With a puff, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again…
–
At the same time, Nan Yuanman and Feng Congqian had already left the press conference hall and returned to Feng Congqian’s home in S City.
They had just arrived when they received a call from Feng Xingchi: “We went too late. That master ran away. We asked the villagers, no one saw anyone running out of the Jiang family old house. He probably ran into the back mountain.”
“I’ve already sent people with a helicopter into the mountain to patrol. Whether we can find him is another story.”
After all, it was already dark now. Searching for someone in the mountain at night was no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
Not to mention that person knew wicked arts.
Nan Yuanman simply calculated and leaned close to the receiver: “Second Brother, he has already left S City. You won’t find him. Come back and rest.”
She didn’t have any personal item of that master on hand. The only one had been eaten by Xiao Hong, so she couldn’t calculate his exact location, only that he had run away.
Plus, Feng Xingchi still had malevolent Qi left from the Tai Sui meat on him and was unlucky. If he went into the back mountain at night, who knows what monsters he might attract. Then he’d be unlucky for a long time. Better to withdraw first.
Anyway, as long as his target was her, he would definitely make another move.
By then, she absolutely wouldn’t let him escape easily!
“Alright, then I’ll pull the team back first.” Feng Xingchi agreed, told Nan Yuanman to rest well, and hung up.
Feng Congqian sat beside silently listening. He looked at Nan Yuanman, thought for a moment, and asked: “Yuanman, do you… want to go to Shangjing?”
Shangjing was the Feng family’s true headquarters. His body was now mostly healed, and he would have to return to Shangjing sooner or later to handle company affairs.
Feng Zining was still young. After a long time, he wouldn’t be able to suppress those old monsters below.
“Go to Shangjing? Sure!” Nan Yuanman had no objection to changing places.
Not to mention, Shangjing was bigger than S City. That place probably had more ghosts and monsters, right?
The little girl hadn’t forgotten what Zhang Shimian told her: to do more good deeds and accumulate more merit to save Grandpa.
A few days ago, solving the fox and Aunt Zheng’s family matters had allowed Nan Yuanman’s spiritual platform to accumulate quite a bit more merit. She just hadn’t figured out yet how to give this merit to Grandpa.
Perfectly, a few days ago Zhang Shimian left her a message saying he had gone to Shangjing to help a client solve a problem. She could find him and ask about the method to save Grandpa with merit.
People just can’t stand being missed. Nan Yuanman hadn’t contacted Zhang Shimian yet when he called her first.
As soon as the call connected, Zhang Shimian’s wail came through: “Yuanman! Emergency in the martial world! Save me—!”
