Chapter 1668: Chapter 1667: Not Only Did the Chicken Escape, but the Rice Was Lost Too
General Wang and General Ding were completely stunned.
Why did the Elder Jiang suddenly speak up for this boy?
It was truly puzzling.
billion wealth was not enough.
An additional 5 billion needed to be paid. Elder Jiang’s words were clearly asking everyone to lend money. Who would dare to refuse? Do you want to offend such a high-ranking person? Someone who just advanced to the Divine Great Perfection Realm?
"I’ll contribute 5 billion as well." General Wang was the first to raise his hand.
Ding Zhen looked awkwardly at General Wang.
The two of them were originally as thick as thieves, criminals in collusion. Now that one had switched sides, the other had no reason to keep pretending.
Ding Zhen stammered and followed up, "Since everyone is being so generous, I can’t be stingy. I’ll represent the Ding Family to contribute 5 billion wealth."
Everyone started clapping along, although their expressions were a bit ugly. They had to join in the applause, and they felt fortunate for their generosity in helping Elder Jiang, so awkward.
Elder Jiang was very satisfied and nodded. At this moment, he squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"What virtue or ability do I possess to receive the help of the eight great families? It’s truly my good fortune. I thank you all here for your assistance."
"Where does Elder Jiang’s words come from? Being able to help Elder Jiang, we are blessed. If Elder Jiang has any difficulties, you can tell us. As long as we are able, we’ll definitely help." General Wang began to express loyalty at this moment.
The eight great families had cold expressions on their faces.
Before this, General Wang repeatedly made things difficult for Fang Yu, and now suddenly changed his tune. Calling him a despicable scoundrel wasn’t an exaggeration. Shameless and vile.
If it weren’t for him, how could everyone foolishly pay out 5 billion wealth?
This is 5 billion wealth, not 5,000 or 500, much less 50.
Which of the eight great families present doesn’t cherish wealth?
On the surface, they seemed cheerful and helpful, but inside they felt extreme pain.
They wished they could tear the despicable man apart on the spot.
But right now, there’s nothing more to say.
"Since General Wang has said so, I’ll shamelessly make another request, how about that?" Elder Jiang suddenly spoke up.
Everyone was shocked in their hearts.
They suddenly felt that this General Wang was truly too talkative, shameless, really.
Now let’s see how he handles it.
General Wang’s face also turned ugly.
General Ding coughed and looked down at the ground, saying nothing.
General Wang had no choice but to say.
"Please speak, Elder Jiang."
Elder Jiang said, "I heard everything you all said just now very clearly, but I think you insulted my lifesaver, Master Fang, who is not only a virtuous and talented doctor but the noblest doctor I’ve ever seen. He asked for this wealth completely because I offered it willingly. Compared to my life, what is 90 billion wealth? Even if it were 100 billion, I’d be willing to pay."
"..."
The words were a bit exaggerated, but everyone understood that Elder Jiang held Master Fang in very high regard, placing him on the same level as himself.
So what was said earlier became quite embarrassing.
Anyone could tell that General Wang and General Ding had been constantly making things difficult for Master Fang.
"Then what does Elder Jiang mean?" General Wang felt as if he had swallowed a fly, but he couldn’t show it.
General Ding felt the same.
The two of them were like grasshoppers tied to a string.
No matter who received punishment, neither of them could escape.
"I want you to apologize to Master Fang."
"Apologize?"
"Don’t you need to apologize? Everything you said just now was not true. I don’t want to haggle with you, so I’m giving you a chance to apologize. Don’t let me down."
"..."
"..."
Now not only General Wang, but also General Ding were completely shattered by Elder Jiang’s words, losing hope.
They thoroughly realized.
This Master Fang was not someone they could afford to offend at all.
And Master Fang’s status in Elder Jiang’s heart was far higher than they had imagined.
General Wang’s face was extremely ugly.
It was as if someone had slapped him hard on the face, a burning pain.
General Wang, General Ding, and the eight great families simultaneously turned their gaze to Fang Yu.
At this moment, Master Fang, in their eyes, said nothing, just sat there sipping tea with a smile.
It seemed like the events unfolding before him had nothing to do with him.
Ye Wenjun knew that at this moment, Elder Jiang was already under his control.
But Mr. Cui, Miss Cui, and Miss Liu were completely unaware.
When they heard Elder Jiang’s attitude, they were genuinely shocked.
While their hearts settled,
they also broke out a sweat for Fang Yu.
Fortunately, Elder Jiang was on their side.
If Elder Jiang hadn’t spoken, things would become extremely difficult to handle.
Helplessly, General Wang stood up and approached Fang Yu.
He respectfully said.
"I’m sorry, Master Fang. I shouldn’t have insulted you earlier; it was my fault."
The eight great families who also spoke just now all stood up one after another.
Apologizing to Fang Yu.
Even though their expressions were very unpleasant, in such a situation, they had no choice but to apologize.
After the apologies were finished.
Fang Yu also stood up at this moment.
"Everyone, there’s no need to worry. I won’t hold it against you. Please, sit down."
"..."
It was like they were publicly slapped in the face.
But they endured it.
General Wang clenched his fists so tightly that they turned white. His teeth itched with anger, but he had no choice.
At this point.
Fang Yu raised the cup in his hand and said to Wang Duo, "Young Master Wang Duo, what do you think?"
Wang Duo shuddered and abruptly stood up, his face pale. His father, General Wang, hadn’t arranged for this situation.
Now that things had taken a sudden turn, he naturally didn’t know how to respond. After all, he was too young and lacked experience.
He appeared very flustered. He glanced at his father for help.
General Wang had no choice but to grit his teeth.
He said.
"Wang Duo, what you said earlier was also wrong. Properly apologize to Master Fang. Don’t bring up anything else."
"Father!!"
To be honest.
Wang Duo wasn’t as adept at hiding his emotions as the other family heads present.
So his expression appeared very unpleasant, even filled with hatred.
How could he forget his mother’s death? Being too young, he couldn’t place all the blame on his father, so he had to place it all on Fang Yu.
In his view, Fang Yu was responsible for his mother’s death.
Watching Fang Yu converse and laugh, how could he not be angry and yet still have to lower himself to apologize? How was that possible.
"Apologize!!" General Wang said with resentment.
As soon as he said this.
Wang Duo had no choice but to grit his teeth and approach Fang Yu, apologizing like a schoolboy.
