Chapter 852: Removing the Firewood from Under the Pot

Sponsored

The bodyguards of the Gong Family saw the two of them emerge from the backyard covered in blood, turning pale with fright. They wanted to take action to stop them, but before they could speak, Yang Cheng sent one flying with a palm strike.

The remaining bodyguards dared not approach, only able to watch as the two rummaged through the Gong Family’s possessions.

"What are you looking for?"

Feng Jiuge asked.

"My father has been missing for years. It must be related to Gong Jian. I’m looking for any clues."

Yang Cheng said as he activated his X-ray Vision, scanning the entire main building.

In Gong Jian’s study, there were some ledgers and documents recording illegal dealings of the Gong Family over the years, which Yang Cheng collected.

In a hidden compartment in the study, he found a quaint wooden box. Upon opening it, inside was an Ink Jade Token engraved with an ancient "Gong" character.

"The Gong Family Head’s seal?"

Feng Jiuge raised an eyebrow.

Without a word, Yang Cheng also tucked the wooden box into his pocket, a smile playing on his lips. "With this in hand, even if Gong Jian wants to retaliate, it won’t be so easy."

The two searched the main building again but did not find any clues about Yang Feng.

Yang Cheng sighed, knowing full well that even if his father was in Gong Jian’s hands, he wouldn’t be kept at home.

Feeling somewhat depressed, he packed up the Gong Family’s valuables and important documents, intending to cripple them completely.

By the time they left, it was already broad daylight.

...

Meanwhile, at Zhonghai City’s First People’s Hospital.

Outside the emergency room, Gong Jian, Yan Lizhu, and Gong Lin anxiously awaited.

When Gong Yu was brought onto the ambulance, he was already on the brink of death. The doctors immediately rushed him into the emergency room, and he hadn’t come out since.

"It’s all your fault!"

Yan Lizhu, eyes red, glared fiercely at Gong Jian.

Though she feared Gong Jian, seeing her son’s condition, she couldn’t care less anymore.

If it weren’t for this damn man unable to keep it in his pants, messing around with other women, none of this would have happened.

She didn’t know about the deeper grudge between Yang Cheng and Gong Jian, only thinking it was related to the Dragon and Tiger Pill.

Gong Jian’s face was ashen, his mind consumed with whether Yin Wujiang could kill Yang Cheng, leaving him no time to address Yan Lizhu’s accusations.

Just then, the emergency room door opened.

The doctor came out, removed his mask, face heavy with concern.

"Doctor, how is my son?"

Yan Lizhu rushed over to ask.

The doctor, having treated Gong Yu before, could only shake his head helplessly, "Young Master Gong’s condition is dire. Not only is he unable to function as a man, but his kidney function is severely damaged. He will require lifelong dialysis to survive, and his days are numbered. Try to keep him happy."

Hearing this, Yan Lizhu was dumbfounded.

"No! Impossible!"

She screamed, throwing herself at the doctor, "You must be mistaken! My son is so young, he can’t die!"

"Ma’am, please calm down..."

The doctor hurriedly stepped back.

Gong Lin supported Yan Lizhu, her expression indifferent.

Gong Jian, showing a fleeting complexity in his gaze, entered the emergency room, seeing Gong Yu lying on the bed, ashen-faced and covered in tubes, a pitiable sight.

Beside him, Yan Lizhu was still chattering incessantly, "Gong Jian, you heartless bastard! You’ve ruined Xiaoyu like this!"

Gong Jian suddenly halted, turning to face Yan Lizhu, a cold smile on his lips.

𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"He’s ended up like this because you’ve spoiled him! If you hadn’t indulged him since childhood, he wouldn’t be like this today!"

"What... what are you saying?"

Yan Lizhu’s eyes widened.

"I’m saying that as his mother, you’re the real culprit."

Gong Jian said coldly, "But it doesn’t matter, anyway, Su Xiaowan is already pregnant. I’ll soon have a new son."

"You!"

Yan Lizhu trembled with rage, pointing at Gong Jian’s nose, "Gong Jian, you’re inhuman! Xiaoyu isn’t even dead yet, and you’re already thinking of the bastard with another woman!"

Gong Jian ignored her, turning to leave.

Behind him, Yan Lizhu’s wailing and cursing echoed down the corridor.

Gong Lin caught up, walking beside Gong Jian, hesitating before speaking, "Dad, are you really planning... to raise Su Xiaowan’s child?"

Gong Jian paused, turning to look at her, "What are you trying to say?"

Gong Lin took a deep breath, meeting Gong Jian’s gaze, "Dad, I’m also part of the Gong Family, I also have the capability to inherit the Gong Family’s enterprises."

Gong Jian frowned, "You’re a woman."

"So what if I’m a woman?"

Gong Lin’s voice rose slightly, "Kong Lingwen is also a woman. Not only did she become the head of the Kong Family, but she also runs Chenling Pharmaceutical with great success! I’m no worse than her!"

Gong Jian was silent for a moment, looking at his daughter’s determined eyes, feeling somewhat swayed.

He knew well Gong Lin’s abilities; this daughter was smart and decisive from a young age, far surpassing Gong Yu.

But the problem was, she’s a woman, destined to marry into another family.

In wealthy families, a woman taking the helm often incites criticism, especially in a grand family like the Gong Family.

"Dad, I know what you’re worried about."

Gong Lin softened her tone, "I can choose not to marry, find a man with good genes to have a child, and the child will bear the Gong name to continue the family line."

"Moreover, Su Xiaowan’s child hasn’t been born yet; who knows if it’s a boy or girl? Even if it’s born, there’s no guarantee it will have the ability to inherit the family business."

She paused, then continued, "You can let me manage the company first. When Su Xiaowan’s child grows up, if he really has talent, I can hand over my position to him then."

Gong Jian looked at her, a complexity flickering in his eyes.

He knew that Gong Lin was speaking the truth.

Su Xiaowan’s child isn’t born yet, and even if born, it would take at least twenty years to raise them to take over the family business.

In these twenty years, who would manage the Gong Family?

Himself? His health was already ruined by Yang Cheng’s drugging, making the possibility of having more children impossible. For now, he could only rely on Gong Lin.

After hesitating for a moment, Gong Jian finally nodded, "From today on, the Gong Family’s enterprises will be managed by you."

Gong Lin’s eyes flickered with excitement, but quickly regained composure, "Thank you, Dad."

The next second, Gong Jian’s tone shifted, "However, you must agree to one condition."

"What condition?"

"No matter what means you use, you must get rid of Yang Cheng, or else the Gong Family will never have peace!"

Killing intent flashed in Gong Jian’s eyes, increasingly uneasy at heart.

Gong Lin nodded, "I understand."

The two quickly left the hospital, driving back to the Gong Family villa.

As soon as they entered, a bodyguard rushed over, face pale.

"Chair... Chairman, something happened!"

"What is it?"

Gong Jian frowned.

"The secret room... the secret room in the backyard has been destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, Gong Jian’s face changed drastically, and he immediately rushed towards the secret room.
