Chapter 273 - Everyone Was Shocked
In that moment, Little Chen was seized by fear and sought clemency.
Yet before he could utter a word, Uncle Hai pressed a finger to Little Chen's back. Suddenly speechless, Little Chen was swiftly taken away.
Soong Wanzhong then turned to Jiang Hao.
“My apologies for this spectacle, nephew.”
“Uh, may I go see Huiling now?” Soong Wanzhong asked with urgency.
?Jiang Hao pondered briefly, but before he could respond, the door behind him swung open!
The noise drew everyone's attention, and they turned to see a surprising sight.
Rong Wan'er was walking out, hand in hand with her mother!
?He Mu's heart appeared just like anyone else's at that moment—her complexion was healthy and her eyes were bright. Was this the same person who had been lying in bed, pale and trembling, with dull, lifeless eyes?
Overcome with joy, Soong Wanzhong quickly stepped to He Yuexin's side.
“Huiling?”
“Wanzhong!”
In an instant, they were locked in a tight embrace.
Smiles spread among the onlookers.
……
?At the banquet table in the Soong family's main hall, Soong Wanzhong lifted his glass with a look of deep appreciation towards Jiang Hao.
“Nephew, words cannot express my gratitude. I toast to you today!”
Jiang Hao promptly raised his glass in return, responding with courtesy.
“Uncle, you're too kind!”
……
Having left the Soong family estate, Jiang Hao had fulfilled all his objectives.
Soong Wanzhong had readily accepted Jiang Hao's invitation.
When the time came, his entire family would be there to show their support.
The backing of the Jade King—few in Tianhee City could claim such prestige.
Jiang Hao headed home, his face alight with joy.
In stark contrast to Jiang Hao's elation, another individual spent the day in agony.
In a special ward at Tianhee City's Second Hospital, Jia Renyi lay in a high-care bed, his limbs restrained.
His face was a mess of scratches, as if a kitten had taken its claws to him, streaked with traces of blood.
Unbeknownst to him, beneath his hospital gown, his body was a tapestry of scratches—there wasn't an inch left unscathed.
Beside his hospital bed, a woman lay weeping, her gaze fixed on Jia Renyi. Her eyes were red and swollen, tears streaming down relentlessly.
“Renyi, your mother will surely avenge you!”
“Who is the heartless monster that reduced my son to such a state?” she cried, wiping away her tears as she railed against the unknown assailant.
?Outside the hospital room, at the end of the corridor, stood a young man clad in a CEO's suit, his face a mask of icy resolve. His eyes, fierce and intimidating, warned others not to meet his gaze.
He stared out the window at the lively, bustling city, lost in thought for a long while.
This man was none other than the Jia Family's heir, Jia Renjie, the patriarch of the Jia clan.
Previously, the Jia Family's status in Tianhee City was comparable to the Qin Family, where Qin Shou had resided.
But after the Jia patriarch passed away, Jia Renjie took the reins and swiftly expanded the family's power and influence.
That's how the Jia Family rose to its current prominence.
In Tianhee City, Jia Renjie was infamous for his ruthless and vicious tactics.
Rumors even circulated that the death of the Jia patriarch might have been linked to his eldest son, Jia Renjie. But these whispers remained unsubstantiated, with no evidence to back them up.
?At that moment, behind him, two doctors were delivering their report.
“Mr. Jia, this is essentially the condition of the Second Young Master.”
“We've conducted a thorough examination using the latest medical technology, but we haven't found anything out of the ordinary.”
“Moreover, anesthesia injections seem to have no effect on the Second Master.”
“We're at a loss with this baffling situation,” the doctor confessed, his expression etched with frustration.
