329: Chapter 329: Pulling the Firewood from Under the Pot 329: Chapter 329: Pulling the Firewood from Under the Pot Wu Yu was helped up by several bodyguards and quickly taken to the hospital. From their conversation, Su Qingyu roughly understood the situation. Seeing Wu Yu fainting from both rage and despair, she showed a worried expression and fiercely glared at Wu Ke before leaving the Wu Mansion with a group of bodyguards. “Since there are no objections from everyone, I hereby announce, Wu Zijian as the new Family Head. All members of the Wu Family must follow his commands,” Wu Ke loudly declared. “With so many guests from Hong Kong present, I hope for future support for our Wu Family.” “Of course, of course.” “It’s a definite. Wu Family has contributed to the development of Hong Kong, and we will certainly support it.” ...... (ellipsis for omitted lines) The foreign guests below, following Wu Ke’s lead, showed their goodwill towards Wu Zijian. Suddenly, the solemn funeral turned into a celebration where groups of Wu Family’s children and business tycoons crowded around Wu Zijian, offering flattery and toadying. Meanwhile, not far away, the still-warm corpse of Wu Liang lay in the wooden coffin, with only a few people surrounding it – such a stark contrast exposes the coldness of human nature and chills the heart... Due to Wu Ke’s manipulation of public opinion, these past days Hong Kong’s newspapers headlines were all about Wu Liang’s death and Wu Zijian’s succession. ...... (ellipsis for omitted lines) Hong Kong hospital. Wu Yu slowly opened his eyes, the white ceiling coming into view. He looked around and saw Su Qingyu and Ye Shikai sitting on a sofa, their eyes slightly closed, seemingly resting. “Cough cough.” Wu Yu coughed lightly, his lips cracked, his throat so dry it felt like it could emit smoke, having been unconscious for a day. “Mr. Wu, are you alright?” The two woke up from the coughing and walked to the bed of Wu Yu. “I’m fine. Miss Su, you must quickly tell me, how is the Wu Family now? Has my father been buried yet? What about Wu Ke...” Wu Yu asked anxiously, his questions firing off like a rapid succession. “Wu Ke has already announced publicly that Wu Zijian is the new Family Head and all members of the Wu Family have essentially agreed. Your father has been buried, you don’t need to worry,” Ye Shikai reassured him, patting Wu Yu’s shoulder, telling him to lie back, and then spoke softly. “Damn it, my father must have been killed by Wu Ke. He was worried I would become the Family Head and sideline him, so he conspired with Wu Zijian to plan my father’s death and seize the position of the Family Head,” Wu Yu said after hearing this, his face ashen, showing a despondent look, his teeth clenched, but his heart filled with hatred and unwillingness. “Mr. Wu, please don’t get agitated, focus on recovering,” Su Qingyu said soothingly, sighing softly, a flash of gloom passing through her eyes. “By the way, Miss Su, the partnership between Tianya and Wu Group, did they back out?” Suddenly, Wu Yu remembered something and asked anxiously. “Yesterday, Wu Group’s senior management announced the termination of the partnership with Tianya, opting instead to collaborate with Ji Group,” Su Qingyu slowly looked up, her eyes reddened, and spoke softly. “I’m...I’m sorry, Miss Su, I...” Upon hearing this news, Wu Yu felt as if his heart was pierced by a knife. Both he and Su Qingyu had worked tirelessly and spared no effort hoping for the partnership, only to end up with such a result. “It’s okay, don’t worry, Mr. Wu. I don’t blame you. Your efforts have been seen by my husband and me. You must take care of your health,” Su Qingyu quickly reassured, the termination of the partnership, aside from Wu Yu, had affected her greatly; all her long-time efforts had gone in vain. Wu Ke’s ruthless move had totally suppressed Wu Yu overnight. “Mr. Wu, I actually came here to bid farewell. Although the company can’t cooperate anymore, I would very much like to be friends with you, Mr. Wu,” Su Qingyu sighed deeply, seeing as the business deal fell through, Tianya Group no longer had a reason to stay in Hong Kong. “Wait a moment, Qingyu,” suddenly, Ye Shikai called out, startling them both “Didn’t you say you would definitely achieve your goal? Why think of giving up over a bit of difficulty?” “But this time...” Su Qingyu lowered her head in disillusionment. “I told you, whatever you want, I will help you obtain it. Have you forgotten?” A firm voice came to Su Qingyu’s ears, giving her courage to look up and see the determined look in Ye Shikai’s eyes, a sense of security and dependence welling up within her. “Mr. Wu, you focus on recuperating and stabilizing your emotions, I will help you regain everything from the Wu Family,” Ye Shikai turned to Wu Yu and said. “Thank you, Mr. Ye,” Wu Yu gratefully expressed. “There’s no need to thank me. I’m not doing this for you, I’m doing it for her,” Ye Shikai pointed to Su Qingyu behind him, speaking softly “whatever she wants, I will help her achieve it.” “Knock, knock, knock.” At that moment, a knocking sound came from the door, followed by a man in a suit walking in. “Lawyer Wang, you’ve arrived,” Wu Yu greeted the man excitedly. “Mr. Wu, how is your health?” The lawyer sat beside the bed, pulling out a document from his bag. “Oh, it’s okay. Mr. Ye, this is Wu Family’s Chief Legal Advisor, also a good friend of my father,” Wu Yu introduced them “Lawyer Wang, what’s the situation with Wu Family now?” “Alas, Mr. Wu, see for yourself,” the man sighed, handing over the file. “Since your father left no will, the forty percent of shares he held are split equally between you and Wu Zijian, each holding twenty percent. As for other properties, we’re still in the process of allocation,” the man said with some disappointment. He had high hopes for Wu Yu, unlike other rich second generations, he knew Wu Yu was not only talented but also hardworking, the unquestionable successor for Wu Group. However, under the current circumstances, he felt helpless since, in Wu Group, he was also an outsider. In recent days, Wu Ke had continuously purged dissent within the company, decisively removing internal threats, at times, making even him have to comply. “At least, I’m not left with nothing,” Wu Yu tightly grasped the inheritance document, his face filled with resentment, vowing to reclaim everything he had lost. “Mr. Wu, I’m sorry I can’t help you during this moment. I also...” the man stood up, deeply bowed to Wu Yu, his voice laden with apologies. “Lawyer Wang, I should be the one thanking you. I understand you, you don’t need to blame yourself or worry too much,” Wu Yu understood him, everyone had families to care for, and he too needed work. If he openly opposed Wu Ke, he would certainly be ostracized. Under someone’s roof, one has no choice but to lower their head.
