Chapter 52: The Overbearing Old Wang

~8 min read 1,433 words

Zhao Xiong's eyes were filled with murderous intent, his finger several times almost pulling the trigger.

But every time he was about to pull the trigger,

a voice echoed in his mind.

Can't shoot! If he really fired, the Zhao family would be finished!

He looked at Jiang Feng, the anger in his heart like ice water poured over it, doused bit by bit, leaving only a deep sense of helplessness.

"You win!"

Zhao Xiong, red-eyed, collapsed onto the sofa.

"I'll have the Ye family's funds transferred first thing tomorrow. But I'll say this upfront—business is business. If Jiang Fa Real Estate's management goes to chaos in the future and a project goes wrong, I'll still pull my investment!"

Jiang Feng leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "Zhao Family Head made a rational decision. Don't worry, with me keeping an eye on things, you won't get a chance to pull out."

"Don't get too cocky!"

Zhao Xiong shot him a glare and said coldly.

"Right now, several of Jiang Fa Real Estate's projects are short on funds. This money of mine is at most a stopgap—it won't fill all the holes. You don't think relying on me alone can solve everything, do you?"

He still wanted to see Jiang Feng make a fool of himself.

Even if he'd handled him, the funding gap was so huge—Jiang Feng couldn't just conjure money out of thin air, could he?

"That's not something for Zhao Family Head to worry about."

"I'll handle the funding myself. You just mind your own business and stop causing trouble for the Ye family. If I find out you're pulling any more tricks, next time I won't be so easy to talk to."

With that, he didn't spare Zhao Xiong another glance, turned, and walked toward the door.

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

Once Jiang Feng's figure had completely disappeared, Zhao Xiong suddenly grabbed the blue-and-white porcelain teacup on the table and hurled it to the ground, shards splattering everywhere.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He raised his gun and fired three shots at the ceiling.

The butler, terrified, quickly ducked and covered his head. Only after the gunfire stopped did he tremblingly lift his head.

"F-Family Head, please don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself..."

Zhao Xiong threw the gun to the ground and roared hysterically, "My son is crippled! I've been shit on by some snot-nosed kid! I can't swallow this! I have to kill Jiang Feng! I have to make him pay!"

But no matter how fiercely he shouted, the fear deep in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

On the other side, Jiang Feng walked out of the Zhao Family Old Mansion. Just as he reached the roadside, he heard a crisp honk.

He turned to look—a white sports car was parked beside him.

The window rolled down, revealing Wang Yunan's beaming face.

"Jiang Feng! It really is you!"

Wang Yunan's eyes lit up instantly. She pushed open the car door, jumped out, and quickly ran up to him.

"What are you doing here? Did you come to see the Zhao family?"

Today she was wearing a light blue dress that made her skin look fair and delicate.

"Yeah, came to discuss some business."

"Business? Are you free now?"

Wang Yunan tugged at his arm, gently shaking it, her tone carrying a hint of anticipation.

"My grandfather's always talking about you, saying he has to thank you in person! Come home with me for a bit—if Grandpa knows you're here, he'll be overjoyed!"

Jiang Feng nodded. "Alright, I'll impose on you then. It's a good chance to check on Old Master Wang's health too."

"Great!"

Wang Yunan was delighted. She pulled him into the passenger seat.

The Wang family wasn't far from the Zhao family—just a few minutes' drive, and the sports car stopped in front of a luxurious villa.

Compared to the Su family and the Zhao family, the Wang family had a very thriving lineage.

And precisely because the Wang family had so many members, they were the top existence among the four great families, even more so than the Su family.

Although the Su family had more assets than the Wang family,

because only Su Xueyan was left holding up the facade, they had become the prime target in the eyes of the other three families.

Wang Haitao had three sons: Wang Lei, Wang Jiang, and Wang Yu.

Wang Yunan was the only daughter of his eldest son, Wang Lei.

In the Wang family, she was also deeply cherished.

As soon as Wang Yunan got home, she shouted throughout the house.

"Grandpa, look who's here?"

"Grandpa?"

Wang Haitao, leaning on his crutch, came downstairs supported by the nanny.

Seeing Jiang Feng, the old master's eyes lit up.

"Divine Doctor Jiang! I've been hoping you'd come! Sit, sit!"

Jiang Feng glanced at the old master and gave a faint smile. "Looks like Old Master's condition is still quite stable."

"That's all thanks to your medical skill, Divine Doctor Jiang."

Wang Haitao said gratefully. He knew his own body better than anyone.

After the surgery, he had actually been feeling a bit off.

At the time, he thought it was just a normal post-operative reaction.

But ever since Jiang Feng treated him at the Chamber of Commerce Banquet, all his discomfort had vanished.

Thus, the Wang Family and the Li Family can be said to have tied the knot.

Originally, Wang Haitao was still planning to pour money into the Li Family's hospital.

Now this matter is basically at an end.

Wang Yunan helped Wang Haitao sit down.

"Grandpa, let me tell you, I just ran into Jiang Feng at the Zhao Family gate! I thought the Zhao Family was picking on him again!"

"Zhao Family?" Wang Haitao's eyebrows furrowed at once, and his expression grew darker.

"Mr. Jiang, is the Zhao Family up to some trick again? I knew it— that stinky kid Zhao Xiong hasn't been holding back any decent tricks!"

Jiang Feng hurriedly gestured, smiling as he explained.

"Old Wang, don't worry, it's not the Zhao Family picking on me; I'm the one who went to the Zhao Family to discuss business."

"Earlier, because I disabled Zhao Qiancheng, the Zhao Family deliberately targeted the Ye Family's Jiang Fa Real Estate, severing their funding chain. I'm here today to have the Zhao Family restore the disbursement to Jiang Fa Real Estate, and to stop them from harassing the Ye Family again."

"Ye Family? Jiang Fa Real Estate?"

Wang Haitao was momentarily stunned, then caught on.

"You're talking about that kid Ye Zhonghai's company?"

Jiang Feng nodded.

"I'm the one who implicated Uncle Ye, so I have to take responsibility to the end. But rest assured, I've already spoken with Zhao Xiong, and he'll transfer the funds to Jiang Fa Real Estate tomorrow, which will temporarily relieve the urgent crisis."

"That probably isn't enough."

Wang Haitao shook his head.

"I know Jiang Fa Real Estate; several projects are stalled halfway. Zhao Xiong's money can at most plug a small hole; the subsequent funding gap is still huge! That kid Ye Zhonghai is a good person, just too straightforward, not that crafty; fighting the Zhao Family puts him at a disadvantage."

He paused briefly, then turned his gaze to Jiang Feng, his tone especially serious.

"Jiang Feng, you are a benefactor of our Wang Family. Since the Ye Family is connected to you, this matter cannot be ignored by our Wang Family! Tell me how much funding Jiang Fa Real Estate needs for the follow‑up, and the Wang Family will cover it all! Whether it's ten million or a hundred million, as long as it helps the Ye Family get through the crisis, the Wang Family won't blink an eye!"

When those words were spoken, everyone in the living room was stunned.

Wang Lei's face flushed red, his mouth slightly open: "But, Dad..."

"There's no 'but'."

"This matter is under my decision now," Wang Lao said, waving his hand.

Jiang Feng was also stunned; he hadn't expected Old Wang to be so magnanimous.

He had originally thought that this matter might eventually still need Su Xueyan.

"Hmm, by the way, hasn't Wang Yunan just returned to the country and has nothing to do? Let Wang Yunan take this on; you and Jiang Feng coordinate, how about that?"

Old Wang playfully squeezed his eye at his granddaughter.

"Whether it's money or not is unimportant."

"Securing Jiang Feng as a grandson‑in‑law is the most important thing!"
