"This..."
Director You was at a loss. He had saved countless people over the years; how could he rember them all distinctly?
Xu Hao continued, "If soone wanted to deal with you, they would have done so a long ti ago, so it must be soone you've saved recently."
After pondering deeply, Director You suddenly said, "Could it be that mber of the Zhou family? I saved him about a week ago. His status in the Zhou family is very high, and there are said to be so internal conflicts within the family."
At this mont, Commander Wu said, "Are you talking about Patriarch Zhou Changcun of the Zhou family?"
"Yes, that's him," Director You nodded and said, "He was in a car accident; the car exploded, but he managed to escape in ti and wasn't killed by the blast. However, he was severely burned, so he was brought to . If I hadn't administered ergency treatnt right away, he might have died."
Commander Wu nodded and said, "If it's Zhou Changcun, then everything makes sense. He is the eldest of the Zhou family, but he only has a daughter, while his younger brother, Zhou Jiandong, the second child of the Zhou family, has a son. So, there is a dispute over who will inherit the leadership of the Zhou family. The old Zhou family patriarch has long been out of matters, which has caused Zhou Changcun's authority to wane."
Director You nodded and said, "Right, it seems I now know who is trying to target . They didn't finish off Zhou Changcun and then directed all their anger at ."
Commander Wu shook his head and said, "Even if you know who it is, you are powerless to do anything about it. The Zhou family is one of the Four Great Families, with imnse power. Even if Zhou Jiandong is only the second in the family, he still has significant influence."
Director You's face grew even more troubled. If not absolutely necessary, he did not want to ask his powerful backer to step in, knowing he could only call on that favor once.
He looked around and suddenly said to Xu Hao, "Divine Doctor Xu, you saw my problem right from the start. You must have a way to help , right?" Visit My Virtual Library Empire (*) for more.
Xu Hao gave a bitter smile and said, "What can I do? The Zhou family is so influential, and I'm just an ordinary citizen."
Just then, Director You suddenly took out his phone and brought up a photo. It was the "flirtatious photo of Cao Family's young master" that was circulating on Huadu's forum, but beside the figure in the photo, there was a silhouette that looked incredibly like Xu Hao.
Pointing at the figure, Director You said, "Divine Doctor Xu, that's definitely you. You must be acquainted with those scions of the great families. Can you take a look and see if you can help ? If you are willing to help , I am willing to..."
He thought hard but couldn't co up with anything that Xu Hao might need, so he said, "I'll give you money, I'm willing to gamble my next three years' salary!"
Commander Wu couldn't help but speak up, "Director You, what you're offering just won't do. I don't an to discourage you, but whether it's your three years' salary, or thirty years, or even three hundred years worth of salary, it wouldn't move Divine Doctor Xu."
"What? My three years' salary is already over a million, and three hundred years would be a hundred million!" Director You said bewildered.
"Hahaha! Do you rember the Didixiya Auction House touring auction that was held in Jing'an City a while back? Do you still rember the most expensive item sold at that ti?"
Director You imdiately recalled, "I went there too. I rember that ring nad the Nine Star Chain was auctioned for an astronomical fifty billion. Fifty billion! I would have to save for ten or twenty thousand years without spending anything to earn that much!"
Commander Wu nodded and said, "Right, but do you know who ended up with that ring?"
Director You suddenly looked at Xu Hao, his face a mixture of disbelief and awe, "Could it be... could it be..."
Right at that mont, two stunningly beautiful won walked in together.
At this point, Director You could no longer pay attention to their gorgeous looks. What caught his eye were the sparkling rings on their fingers!
"They... they're wearing... the Nine Star Chain Rings?!" he said, pointing at Chen Suyi and Jiang Xuezhun's hands, his face full of disbelief.
"Yes, Uncle, is there a problem with that?" Jiang Xuezhun asked as she wiggled her finger, looking puzzled.
Commander Wu laughed and said, "He's just a bit shocked to see the Nine Star Chain Rings suddenly."
"Oh."
Jiang Xuezhun, not concerned, said to Xu Hao, "Husband, it was quite chaotic outside, so I ca down with Little Sister Suyi to check out what was happening."
In the presence of others, Jiang Xuezhun particularly enjoyed calling Chen Suyi 'Little Sister Suyi' to highlight her status as the eldest sister.
But these words had a completely different aning to Director You. He suddenly realized that these two incomparably beautiful won were Divine Doctor Xu's wives!
He looked at Xu Hao with unbounded admiration. He rembered the bidding scene vividly; Divine Doctor Xu had casually waved his hand and spent fifty billion to buy the rings for his wives, both of whom were as beautiful as heavenly immortals.
And then he thought of his own wife, who had betrayed him when disaster struck. He felt his life was an utter failure!
He was in his thirties or forties, while Divine Doctor Xu was only in his twenties!
Indeed, comparisons are odious!
