"How could you all..."
Wang Lili blurted out, her voice tight with anxiety, but then she instantly clamped her hand over her mouth, realizing her mistake.
It was over. Er Zhu had only suspected before, but her words were a confession!
"We... you... he..."
Seeing Er Zhu, Zheng Jie and Zheng Tianming were filled with panic. They wanted to explain, but couldn't find the words.
"Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to step forward, Zheng Chengbin's voice boomed from behind. Seeing his father arrive, Zheng Jie quickly hid behind Zheng Tianming, who also lowered his head.
This was bad. The matter had even alerted the family head. He was doomed this time!
"Uncle, please help us. We just went into the wrong room and hid because we were afraid Mr. Wang would misunderstand," Zheng Tianming's eyes darted around when he saw Zheng Chengbin. An idea struck him, and he pleaded with feigned grievance.
"Yes, we just hid. We didn't do anything. He pushed this screen onto us. Dad, you must stand up for us!" Zheng Jie suddenly seemed to understand something and pointed at the fallen screen, complaining.
"Enough! Do you think Mr. Wang is an idiot? If you don't shut up, I'm leaving now!" Zheng Chengbin's roar turned towards them. He hadn't expected these two fools to still be trying to argue their way out of this.
Seeing the fury in Zheng Chengbin's eyes, Zheng Jie finally lowered her head. She had thought she could turn the situation around, but she hadn't even gotten past her own father.
"Mr. Wang, it is my fault for not educating my daughter properly. Please, for my sake, spare her one more time. To express my apology, I am willing to give up all of our Zheng family's shops in Liu Town!" Zheng Chengbin cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to Er Zhu before speaking rapidly.
His face was pale, his eyes filled with panic, and his voice trembled. He had promised last time to discipline his daughter, but she had escaped and done this! The Zheng family's shops in Liu Town were worth over a billion. Now, they were being given away just like that! The more Zheng Chengbin thought about it, the angrier he became. His hands clenched into fists, his heart bleeding profusely.
"Why? He's just a nouveau riche from a small place! Dad, why are you giving away our shops? He doesn't deserve it!" Hearing this, Zheng Jie was furious. She stood up, ready to curse at Er Zhu, but at that moment, Zheng Chengbin slapped her again.
Zheng Jie's cheek immediately swelled, and her ears rang. "Bastard! If you dare to say another word, I'll kick you out of the Zheng family!" Zheng Chengbin trembled with rage, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Zheng Jie, making her shiver.
Zheng Jie looked at her father with tear-filled eyes, her gaze filled with anger and disbelief. She was her father's darling daughter, yet he had hit her again and again for this upstart. It was utterly outrageous!
"You don't have to. I'll leave the Zheng family myself. I want to see how powerful the Zheng family can become by following a nouveau riche!" The more Zheng Jie thought about it, the angrier she became. She pointed at Zheng Chengbin and roared, then pulled Zheng Tianming towards the door.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Chengbin's fury escalated. He turned to speak, but as he opened his mouth, his vision went black, and he fainted.
"Master, Master!" Seeing this, the others rushed over, supporting Zheng Chengbin and calling out loudly.
Zheng Jie paused, glancing back at her unconscious father. A tear rolled down her cheek. She had wanted to stay, but now, staying would only bring her humiliation. In that case, it would be better to unite with other families and drive this nouveau riche out of Guangyuan County first! With this thought, Zheng Jie took a deep breath and pulled Zheng Tianming away. As for Wang Lili, she had already escaped during the argument between Zheng Chengbin and his daughter.
Zheng Chengbin had not yet woken up, and his complexion was worsening. The bodyguards panicked, but Er Zhu remained calm.
"Alright, help Mr. Zheng to the sofa. I'll handle the rest." Er Zhu saw a schematic of Zheng Chengbin's veins appear before his eyes, clearly identifying the bleeding point in his brain. Zheng Chengbin had already shown signs of cerebral hemorrhage, and the added stress had caused it to occur prematurely. This kind of acute illness would be fatal for an ordinary doctor, but for Er Zhu, it was mere child's play.
"What can you do? Our Master is a billionaire! If you kill him, can you afford to compensate us?" Captain Chen Li, the head of the bodyguards, glanced disdainfully at Er Zhu, his eyes filled with anger and confusion. Chen Li had a bad impression of Er Zhu. Ever since he arrived, the Zheng family had never known a moment's peace! In the past, he hadn't said much because the Master treated Er Zhu with respect, but now, with the Master unconscious, this kid was acting so confidently, as if he were a real miracle doctor!
"Exactly! If it weren't for you, Miss wouldn't have left, and Master wouldn't have fainted. What distinguished guest? I think you're a jinx!" Just as Chen Li was about to say more, another bodyguard angrily berated Er Zhu.
"Mr. Zheng has a cerebral hemorrhage and needs immediate treatment. Are you sure you want to keep delaying it?" Er Zhu couldn't be bothered to explain to these bodyguards. He looked at the expanding bleeding point and spoke slowly.
"Enough, stop pretending. Do you think you're a miracle doctor? You can tell what illness he has just by looking? I'm telling you, my Master's brain is perfectly fine. He wouldn't get a cerebral hemorrhage!" As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Chen Li waved his hand impatiently, his eyes filled with mockery. This kid was quite cunning. If he treated him and the Master lived, it would prove his superb medical skills. If the Master died, it would mean he had done his best. He would benefit either way! Chen Li grew angrier the more he thought about it, wishing he could beat Er Zhu up right now, but the Master's complexion was worsening, and he couldn't abandon him.
"Cousin, cousin!" At this moment, Zheng Chenglin's voice came from outside the private room. Seeing a Zheng family member arrive, Chen Li's heart finally settled.
"Uncle, we're here! Master has fainted. Hurry and come save him!" Chen Li scooped up Zheng Chengbin and ran towards the door, shouting. As soon as Chen Li finished speaking, Zheng Chenglin arrived with the family doctor. It turned out that as soon as Zheng Chengbin fainted, Chen Li had contacted Zheng Chenglin, which was the real reason he prevented Er Zhu from approaching Zheng Chengbin! Because he never intended for him to live!
