Chapter 576

~8 min read 1,434 words

When Wu Donghai saw this video, he was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.

He didn't expect that the process of the Xiao family fighting in the hospital would actually be filmed by someone.

What he didn't expect even more was that this video would be exposed after he announced his investment in the Xiao Group.

This was clearly intended to disgust him; they just wanted to wait for him to publicly invest in the Xiao Group and then come to slap his face!

The most hateful thing was the short video platform!

This platform was simply an enemy of his!

Last time, the crosstalk of Liu Guang and his son was spread by this platform.

Even if he wanted to do public relations, it was useless because this software had already been bought by a large family in Jingcheng.

Last time, the process of his damned brother-in-law, Xue Nanshan, and his Beggar Sect being wiped out was also made known to everyone by this software.

This time, this farce of the Xiao family's human relations was also being pushed by this software.

Wasn't this clearly trying to go against him?

The key was that he had never provoked them; why did they have to keep holding onto him and not let go?

The Wu family was already very pitiful, and the Wu family's reputation was ruined beyond repair, yet they still wouldn't let the Wu family go, let alone him...

Sure enough, after this video started to be promoted, people across the country were cursing the Wu family.

Because the Wu family's reputation was already ruined by their actions, and now they were actually investing in such a shameless loser family like the Xiao family; they were indeed shameless to the core.

Wu Dongfeng found his brother Wu Donghai and said: "Brother, this family you found is truly too disgusting. They have disgraced our Wu family completely. If it were up to me, we should kick them away and announce as soon as possible that we have no relationship with them."

Wu Donghai shook his head gently and said: "It's meaningless. Now that the wood is already a boat, even if the Wu family announces the withdrawal of investment immediately, there won't be any improvement. After all, everyone is just watching the jokes of clowns like the Xiao family, but large families like our Wu family are the true objects of ridicule by the people of the country."

As he spoke, Wu Donghai sighed and added: "You also know about the Beggar Sect matter; it had too much of an impact on our Wu family. By comparison, this little scandal of the Xiao family doesn't even count as a mosquito bite. Since the netizens want to curse, let them curse."

Wu Dongfeng said resentfully: "I just feel that these losers are really meaningless; it would be better to let them get lost as soon as possible."

Wu Donghai asked him: "Even if we dump the Xiao family, can the Wu family's reputation be restored? Don't forget, we still have many people who need to be united. If we abandon the Xiao family because of such a small matter at this time, how would others dare to cooperate with us? What we need to do now is to stand firmly with the Xiao family. Even if it's just for show, we must let people know that we, the Wu family, will not abandon our comrades-in-arms. Only in this way will everyone unite with us to deal with Ye Chen together."

Wu Dongfeng finally understood his brother's painstaking efforts and asked: "Big brother, what about the people we sent to Mount Zhangbai last time?"

Wu Donghai said coldly: "They will take action tonight. They will definitely snatch the Wei father and son back, and at the same time, they will wipe out everyone Ye Chen left there!"

Late at night, at the foot of Mount Zhangbai.

Wei Changming, wrapped in a thick deer-skin coat, dragged his elderly father, Wei Yongzheng, out of the deep mountains.

Recently, the temperature on Mount Zhangbai had dropped drastically, reaching around minus 30 degrees at night at its lowest.

Under normal circumstances, the two would rather die than go out, but because there was a clear requirement, they had to go into the mountains to dig for ginseng.

Only by digging enough ginseng could they exchange it for food, medicine, and the kerosene and firewood needed for heating.

After all, in such cold weather, the energy consumption for heating every day was huge. Relying solely on picking firewood was difficult to get enough; they had to rely on a certain amount of kerosene.

The father and son ran into the mountains for a day today and only dug up six or seven small ginseng roots. This bit of ginseng was only enough for them to exchange for tomorrow's rations.

Wei Yongzheng was tired and hungry, his lips purple from the cold.

Although Wei Changming had a better physique than him, he also felt a huge physical burden.

Now that Mount Zhangbai had started to accumulate snow, walking in the deep mountains was very difficult, and the consumption of physical strength was very high. However, the ginseng was becoming scarcer, which meant that they had to go deeper into the mountains every time than the last.

Now they could only return in the middle of the night; in a few more days, they might have to live in the mountains at night.

Wei Yongzheng reached out and grabbed a handful of snow, stuffed it into his mouth to melt it, and said with cracked lips: "Son, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't make it through this winter. After I die, you must live strongly alone. No matter what, you must survive. Find a way to leave a descendant for our Wei family. If there is a chance to kill our way back to Jin Ling and take back our Wei Pharmaceuticals, that would be even better."

Wei Changming breathed heavily and comforted him: "Dad, don't say that. Although the conditions on Mount Zhangbai are much harder, I feel that your body is stronger than before since you came to Mount Zhangbai."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "You used to toss your body too badly; your vitality was exhausted by you early on, and you never exercised, rarely walked, and your body was getting worse day by day. Now that you go into the mountains to dig ginseng every day on Mount Zhangbai, and the daily exercise is so high, I think your body is much tougher. If you persist, I think you can definitely live for a long time!"

Wei Yongzheng sat down on the thick snow with a thud and couldn't help but sigh: "What you said makes sense. I really feel that my body is much stronger than before. I used to pant heavily after walking a few steps, but now I can go into the mountains to dig ginseng for a whole day."

Speaking of this, he sighed and said with emotion: "It's all my fault for not knowing how to cherish it when I was young. I overdrawn my body early. You must take this as a warning in the future; you must never follow my old path."

Wei Changming also sat down beside him, used the high-intensity flashlight in his hand to shine around at the white snow and trees, and said with extreme depression: "I would like to follow your old path, but I don't have the chance. Look at this broken deep mountain forest; even the mother bears are hibernating. Where can I find a woman to overdraw my body?"

Wei Yongzheng couldn't help but laugh.

When it came to women, this son of his really couldn't compare to him.

When he was young, he was truly a flirt everywhere; the women he had played with were probably more than he had ever seen.

Thinking about it this way, he hadn't lived this life in vain.

As soon as Wei Changming thought of women, he couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of women, Xiao Weiwei from the Xiao family in Jin Ling is someone I really miss. I don't know if I'll have a chance to go back in this lifetime. If I can go back, I must find her and have a great battle for three hundred rounds."

Wei Yongzheng patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him, and said: "I believe that we, father and son, will definitely have a day to make a comeback!"
