Wei Xingyue fainted for five days straight without waking up.
The middle-aged woman who went back to work called every day to check how Wei Xingyue was doing. However, all she ever received were disappointing news.
She comforted herself that Wei Xingyue could finally sleep well. She had been too tired and tense for the last two weeks, standing outside begging to meet her grandfather. It looked like she was only standing there, but in reality, she had too much pressure and stress. Wei Changqing put all the heavy responsibility onto her alone.
After her grandfather expressed himself and left, Wei Xingyue could no longer hold on.
However, it had been six days and there were no signs of Wei Xingyue waking up. Even the doctors didn’t know what to do. All the checks showed that there was nothing wrong with her body and she fainted from abrupt anger and sorrow. Hence, she should’ve woken up a long time ago.
Sitting in front of her desk, the middle-aged woman hung up the phone as she frowned. The tea on her desk was already ice cold.
Her phone rang lightly and the middle-aged woman glanced at it while massaging her forehead.
It was a WeChat message. Only the first few characters could be seen on the screen, but it was more than enough to make her immediately pick it up.
When she opened it, the content of the message was simple. There was only one sentence: Wei Jingang has been arrested.
It was the seventh day of the New Year, which was the first day back to work for the majority of people. However, the Yu family already made their move.
The middle-aged woman knew that she must tell Wei Changqing about Wei Xingyue’s situation. She could hide it from him before, but no more.
However, she didn’t know whether Wei Changqing would still care about his daughter right now after his son was arrested.
She opened her contacts and after a moment of hesitation, she called that number.
“Wei Ye, hello, it’s me. Xingyue came to my place to send us her greetings and knelt down for my Dad. After my Dad left, she had been unconscious until now.” The middle-aged woman’s words included everything. She didn’t want to be associated more with the Wei family and she couldn’t.
Wei Ye froze for a second and suddenly smiled, “Okay, I know. Thank you for notifying me at a time like this. It looks like the heavens want my Wei family dead.”
“No, just you.” The middle-aged woman replied with minimal words and hung up the call.
Wei Changqing stood motionlessly on the other side of the call. There was calligraphy that was drying in front of him on the desk and it was only half done. There were four more characters after “boundless is the sea of bitterness”, but he could no longer finish it.
He threw away the wolf fur calligraphy brush that was worth a few hundred thousand yuan and sighed longly, “I tried my best to cultivate for ten years and never sought anything from heaven. But why? You want to climb up to heaven, but why use me as the staircase to heaven?”
Of course, he knew about what happened to Wei Jingang. It was a case from more than ten years ago. It was mentioned today again with concrete proof without any possibility of overturning it. The only thing that awaited Wei Jingang was a death sentence.
From this point alone, the Wei family already lost its roots.
After a while, Wei Changqing picked up the phone and dialed a number.
“I die and the wealth is gone. In exchange for Xingyue and Puti’s safety.” Wei Changqing spat these fourteen words out through clenched teeth.
The other side didn’t speak but hung up in silence.
Wei Changqing smashed the phone on the ground furiously. The phone bounced back high up but it was still in one piece. The protection of the Persian carpet was amazing.
He understood that he was = rejected. The opposite side wanted his whole family to die.
“If that was the case, don’t blame me for trying to break the net as a dying fish. I, Wei Changqing am old, and I kept a low profile all these years. Do you really think that a toothless tiger doesn’t bite?”
Wei Changqing walked towards the door of his study. He seemed much taller and heroic which resembled his earlier years.
He pulled the door wide opened and ordered in a low voice, “Tell Puti to come.”
Then, he returned to his room and rested on his couch.
A while later, Wei Puti pushed the door open without a smile on her face. She still seemed bewitching, but her eyes were cold.
“Dad.” Her voice was heavy as she, of course, knew that her older brother failed and death was waiting for him.
Wei Changqing opened his eyes slowly. A few sparks flashed in his cloudy eyes.
“Do it. There is no turning around. Your sister is unconscious and he’s unwilling to help.”
Wei Puti nodded without a word, but he could almost hear the sound of her clenched teeth.
When Wei Puti reached the door of the study and was about to close the door for Wei Changqing, he suddenly sat up from the couch and stared into an unknown space in front of him. Wei Puti froze for a second before coming back to him again.
“Dad, do you need something else?”
After a moment of hesitation, Wei Changqing spoke, “No rush. Go find the person called Shi Lei. Tell him that your sister is in Didu… Never mind, go and get ready. But don’t be in a hurry to do this. I’ll talk to Shi Lei myself.”
Wei Puti nodded and left.
Wei Changqing picked up the phone on the carpet and called Shi Lei.
Shi Lei returned to Wudong yesterday and drove Sun Yiyi and her mother home. After the hints from the Intimacy Card, Shi Lei knew that there was no problem with him spending money to buy things for them. Hence, he found a real estate company and quickly found a house for them. It wasn’t big. It had two rooms and two living rooms, which was big enough for them to live. It finally looked like a place to be lived by humans.
Of course, they needed to get the house ready and pack up their belongings in the garage. Shi Lei helped them until the late night before dragging his tired body back to his apartment. However, the mother and daughter finally moved out.
Today, Shi Lei called Wei Xingyue a few times and he messaged her on WeChat. It was the same as before; it was like a stone being thrown into a sea.
When his phone rang, Shi Lei was still spacing out.
The ringtone made Shi Lei jump. He picked up his phone and the caller ID showed “Wei Ye”.
Shi Lei quickly picked up, “Wei Ye, Happy New Year. I’m Shi Lei. Did something happen to Xingyue?”
Wei Ye seemed to feel a sense of comfort. After all, there weren’t many people in this world that still cared about Wei Xingyue at this time. Previously, the people who tried to marry Wei Xingyue were like carps in the river, but now, they all wished that they never knew anyone from the Wei family. From the moment Wei Jingang was put in jail, the entire Wudong, even the entire circle of Jiangdong province, avoided the Wei family like they were the plague.
“Xingyue fainted from tiredness and sadness in Didu. She had been unconscious for six days but there shouldn’t be a big problem. Shi Lei, your level is higher than mine. If I give you all my family assets, can you… keep my family’s lives?”
From the first moment Wei Changqing knew that the Yu family was touching his family, he contacted the Dark Night’s Eye and tried to ask them to save him and his three children. However, Dark Night’s Eye immediately declined his request as it was clear that they weren’t going to intervene in anything associated with politics. It meant that even if Wei Ye gave all of his assets as a reward, the Dark Night’s Eye still wouldn’t help him.
He suddenly thought of Shi Lei just then. After all, Shi Lei’s level was higher than his and although Dark Night’s Eye told him that they won’t intervene with politics associated events, it didn’t mean that they would still remain silent if a higher level member like Shi Lei requested.
