Chapter 977: Wu Donghai withdraws capital

Old Mrs. Xiao had no idea that while she was at the hospital, her home had already been occupied by Zhang Guifen and the other two.

She, Xiao Weiwei, and Qian Hongyan rushed to the hospital in a panic to find Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong; the father and son were already wrapped in plaster like half-mummies.

Although neither was in life-threatening danger, all four of their limbs were fractured, leaving them completely unable to move, and they could only lie on the bed, wailing in pain.

As soon as Old Mrs. Xiao entered the room and saw them like this, she was shocked and anxious, hurriedly stepping forward to ask, "Changqian! Hailong! You... what happened to you?!"

When Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong saw the old lady, they couldn't hold back their tears and began to wail loudly.

Especially Xiao Hailong, who cried very sorrowfully.

Xiao Weiwei burst into tears immediately, asking pitifully, "Dad, Brother, how did you end up like this..."

Qian Hongyan also felt a bit of heartache; after all, Xiao Hailong was her son. Although she had a deep rift with Xiao Changqian, her son was still her son, and seeing him like this, she naturally felt terrible.

But she was worried that Xiao Changqian would be dissatisfied with her, so she stayed by his side and didn't dare to speak.

At this moment, Xiao Hailong’s eyes turned red, and he cried to Old Mrs. Xiao, "Grandma! Dad and I were crippled by Wu Donghai’s men! Grandma, I’ve been wronged! I was kind enough to do things for Wu Donghai, but not only was he ungrateful, he turned around and had people beat Dad and me into this ghost-like state. He’s simply a beast!"

Xiao Changqian also sighed, "Mom... people say that serving a king is like serving a tiger; I understand that today! We can't afford to serve someone like Wu Donghai. We must keep our distance from him in the future!"

Old Mrs. Xiao asked anxiously, "What exactly happened?! Tell me everything clearly!"

Only then did Xiao Changqian explain the whole story from beginning to end.

Old Mrs. Xiao finally understood that when they kidnapped Ma Lan, they had incidentally kidnapped a transnational fraudster.

What was most infuriating was that someone as calculating as Wu Donghai had actually been fooled by the transnational fraudster, and to curry favor with the other party, he had broken the limbs of her son and grandson...

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao burst into tears, slapping her thigh and wailing, "Heaven has no eyes! If you hadn't gone to cause trouble for Ma Lan today, that transnational fraudster would definitely have ruined Ma Lan’s family! But you had to go at this time, solving the trouble for Ma Lan and bringing the trouble upon yourselves. Ma Lan should have gone to hell today, but instead, you directly helped the international police catch that fraudster, which is equivalent to completely freeing Ma Lan..."

When Xiao Hailong heard this, he realized that was indeed the case, and he cried even louder, acting like a madman, "I didn't expect that in the end, we would let that bastard Ma Lan off the hook for nothing. We lost so much... I, Xiao Hailong, have never suffered such a big loss in my life! And it was a loss I brought upon myself! Weiwei, hurry up and slap me twice! My heart is truly in too much pain..."

Xiao Weiwei could only comfort him, "Brother, since it has already happened, don't look back. The key now is whether your and Dad’s injuries are serious and if you can recover..."

Xiao Hailong choked, "Recovery is possible, but it will take some time. The doctor said we might not be able to take care of ourselves for a few months. We’ll have to eat, drink, poop, and sleep in bed. We might have to stay in the hospital the whole time and have a caregiver with us..."

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked, "Hailong, where is Mr. Wu? He was fooled by that fraudster, which is why he had people cripple you. After the fraudster’s identity was exposed, didn't he give you any compensation or an explanation?"

"Explanation my ass!" Xiao Changqian said angrily from the side, "That old dog Wu Donghai was also taken away by the international police! I guess he’s going to have a terrible time too!"

Old Mrs. Xiao exclaimed, "Ah?! Then didn't you two suffer for nothing?"

Xiao Changqian naturally knew what the old lady was thinking, and he thought to himself, "Mom must think that since Hailong and I were accidentally injured by Wu Donghai’s men, Wu Donghai must give some compensation to make it right."

"In the end, my mother still only cares about money!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Changqian felt a bit depressed and said, "Mom, go pay our hospital fees first and let us transfer to the inpatient department! As for Wu Donghai, if he comes out in the future, we’ll go find him for an explanation!"

"Fine!" Old Mrs. Xiao had to nod and said, "I’ll go pay!"

Saying this, Old Mrs. Xiao turned and left the ward.

She walked to the payment counter and said, "I’m here to pay the hospital fees for Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong."

The other party checked for a while and said, "The treatment fees already incurred are 26,700, plus an 80,000 hospital deposit, totaling 106,700."

Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

"Although 100,000 isn't a lot, it’s not a small amount either. If I don't get a hundredfold compensation from Wu Donghai, I won't be able to sleep even in my dreams!"

Thinking this, Old Mrs. Xiao took a bank card out of her wallet and handed it to the person, "Here, swipe the card."

The person took the card, swiped it on the POS machine, entered the amount, and said to the old lady, "Please enter your password."

Old Mrs. Xiao immediately entered the password and confirmed, but the POS machine did not automatically print a receipt.

The staff member in charge of the cashier looked at it and said, "Your card is frozen, please change to another one."

"What? Frozen?!" Old Mrs. Xiao frowned, "How is that possible! I have tens of millions in this card!"

Back then, after Wu Donghai helped the Xiao family pay off their debts and the bank unfroze the previously seized assets, Old Mrs. Xiao got a portion of her savings back.

Later, Old Mrs. Xiao also found some companies to help move the money Wu Donghai invested in the Xiao family into her own card. Now she had over 20 million in cash in her card, which had always been the retirement money she kept for herself.

Now, the other party suddenly told her that this card was frozen, and she immediately became nervous.

The other party didn't know if she had tens of millions in her card and said impatiently, "I don't care how much money is in your card, but the feedback from the POS machine is that this card is frozen. If you have any questions, call the bank!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was shocked and hurriedly took out her phone to call the bank.

After waiting for a long time for a human representative, she hurriedly asked, "Why did your bank freeze my card?! What right do you have to do this?!"

The other party said patiently, "I’m sorry, it shows here that your card is indeed frozen. The reason it’s frozen is that your creditor has filed for property preservation with the court."

"Go to hell!" Old Mrs. Xiao cursed angrily, "I paid off all my debts long ago, what creditor could there be?!"

The other party was also a bit angry, "Ma'am, please speak properly and don't curse! I can see the execution document for property preservation here. The document shows that your creditor, Wu Donghai, has initiated property preservation against you. He previously helped you pay off tens of millions in debts and invested tens of millions in your company, but he is now withdrawing all loans and investments, which is why he froze this bank card of yours."

"What?!"

Old Mrs. Xiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

Wu Donghai withdrew his capital?!

This... doesn't this mean the Xiao family is going back to the state of having nothing and being in debt again?!
