Xu Hao looked at him with great interest and said, "Beicun Family Patriarch, who gave you the courage to speak to like this? Do you think you can control the business world of Shengtai City?"
The Beicun Family Patriarch slightly bowed and said, "In response to the Saint, I believe I can manage it."
"State your reasons." Xu Hao said indifferently.
Shiqi Ding Tian didn't wait for him to speak and imdiately shouted furiously, "Changsheng Shancun, what do you an by this? Do you think you're more noble than ?"
The Clan Leader of the Shancun Family, Changsheng Shancun, snorted coldly and said, "Shiqi Ding Tian, don't think I'm unaware of your family's situation. You've long been discovered to have cancer, and won't survive three months. Now, your sons are all fighting over your estate. Even if you were to receive Master Xu's favor by chance, what happens after three months?
Master Xu, his sons are all useless idiots. Once Shiqi Ding Tian dies, those sons of his will definitely fight over the estate, and then the entire Shengtai City will beco chaotic again. Wouldn't it be better to let manage it now?"
Koson Kanano, listening on the side, felt displeased hearing Xu Hao possibly letting the Shiqi Family oversee Shengtai City.
Wasn't Xu Hao already considering him as a subordinate?
Why go back on his word now?
Despite feeling quite displeased, Koson Kanano dared not ask more.
Xu Hao's temper was not good.
If he upset Xu Hao, it would spell disaster for him.
Shiqi Ding Tian imdiately yelled angrily, "Changsheng Shancun, you're courting death, daring to curse ?"
Changsheng Shancun scoffed and said, "Shiqi Ding Tian, who do you think you're fooling? You think I don't know you have cancer? You trust those doctors under you, but let tell you, that's just what you think. What you believe often isn't reality."
Hearing this from Changsheng Shancun, Shiqi Ding Tian suddenly roared furiously, "I never expected so of my doctors to betray , despite all the effort I put into nurturing them!"
He was truly furious.
The Shiqi Family is a large family spanning industries like pharmaceuticals, real estate, and jade artifacts. dicine production and dical treatnt technology are key to their family business.
Which of those doctors wasn't carefully nurtured by the Shiqi Family?
Precisely because those doctors were family, Shiqi Ding Tian trusted them to treat him, but now they've pulled this stunt, how can he cope?
The doctors his family painstakingly trained were bought over!
His cancer diagnosis must not be exposed, or it will surely cause panic among family mbers and incite opposition forces.
But no matter how careful he was, he never expected to be betrayed by the family doctors.
Changsheng Shancun snorted and said, "Shiqi Ding Tian, you're overly confident. Don't you realize, under the temptation of big money, these people will sell you out? Besides, knowing you'll die soon, will they truly remain loyal as before?"
Changsheng Shancun's words were not without reason. Those doctors, though seemingly professionals, were private ones aware of family conflicts, knowing they have to secure new alliances.
At this mont, mbers of the Shancun Family took advantage of the situation, leading to the betrayal.
They just didn't expect to be sold out by Changsheng Shancun imdiately.
Xu Hao suddenly said, "Changsheng Shancun, how do you know Shiqi Ding Tian won't live longer than expected? What if he lives longer than you, wouldn't that be awkward for you?"
Changsheng Shancun's expression slightly changed, quickly replying, "Shiqi Ding Tian's illness is cancer. If Master Xu doesn't act against , surely I'll live longer than him!"
"And... if I cure his cancer?" Xu Hao said indifferently.
As if curing cancer seed like a trivial matter to him.
"Impossible!"
Changsheng Shancun imdiately replied resolutely, "How could I not know cancer is incurable? No matter how wealthy you are, in the face of such an incurable illness, it's just lingering on, don't be fooled by his seemingly healthy appearance, which is rely because of dication prescribed by doctors, almost like overdrawing remaining ti."
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "Shiqi Ding Tian, if you're willing to surrender your family to , I'll cure your cancer."
A spark of surprise flashed in Shiqi Ding Tian's eyes, imdiately prostrating himself fully, saying reverently to Xu Hao, "I swear by the na of the Great Illumination Goddess, if Master Xu is willing to save my life, I shall remain loyal to him, with no betrayal at heart!"
At this mont, Shiqi Ding Tian was at a dead end.
