Chapter: 873

As soon as Grandpa Wu's heart rate spiked with anger, East Sea hurriedly limped forward and exclaimed, "Dad, you're this way. Don't get worked up like this!"

"You're a useless thing!" Grandpa Wu scolded, his eyes flashing with anger as soon as he saw East Sea. "You were sent to Jinling to find out who harmed Xiao Qi, and you just ended up embarrassing my Wu family! You ruined our reputation!"

East Sea hung his head dejectedly and said, "Dad, this trip to Jinling was a huge deviation from what I expected. First, I didn't think anyone in Jinling could use their own strength to get rid of Zhang Zizhou and the five others; second, I didn't expect to offend the Yanjing Leaf family unintentionally and be completely crushed by them... I just couldn't help it..."

As he spoke, East Sea pointed to his own right leg and then to his younger brother Xin's right leg, his voice filled with sorrow. "Dad, both my legs and Xin's were crippled, even Xin's hands were destroyed. Do you really think I wanted this? It's just that we really offended the Yanjing Leaf family, and they wouldn't hesitate to take our lives... We couldn't resist..."

Grandpa Wu sneered coldly and said, "If I hadn't seen that you've already been injured, I would have gotten up and beaten you myself!"

East Sea could only kneel down with a pitiful expression, saying, "Dad! It was East Sea's failure to get things done, and he embarrassed the Wu family... please punish me!"

Grandpa Wu scowled and said, "I ask you, did those two good-for-nothing dogs get killed?"

"Not yet," East Sea hurriedly replied. "I've already arranged for someone to go after them, I believe they'll be found soon and then taken care of..."

Grandpa Wu said, "After they're taken care of, we'll definitely have the media report their deaths, making sure that the entire Jiangnan knows what happens when you offend the Wu family!"

East Sea nodded hastily. "Dad, don't worry, I'll make sure to get this matter settled!"

Grandpa Wu asked again, "Has the video from Ou Yin been deleted?"

"'Deleted, deleted...' Wu East Sea dare not speak loudly anymore since the audio has been bought by the Ye family, fearing Old Master's anger."

Old Master nodded and said, "Remember what I've told you. Those two dogs must die! Within 24 hours, they must be dead!"

Wu East Sea hastily said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely follow your instructions!"

Old Master's expression relaxed a bit as he looked at Wu Xin, his heart filled with some regret. "Little Xin, this time you're going to Lingguang, and you'll have it tough."

It's not that Old Master loves Wu East Sea or his younger brother Wu East River the most; it's actually his grandson Wu Xin.

Looking at Wu Xin's current pitiful state, Old Master truly felt extremely pained inside.

Wu Xin also knew that Old Master had loved him since he was young. When he heard these words, he suddenly began to cry, but after wiping away his tears, he still managed to remain strong and said, "Old Master, don't worry about me. I can take it. It's you who should take care of your health!"

As Wu Xin's grandfather, Old Master, was just like Song Lao Yezi, he too had a strong influence in the Wu family. Moreover, his connections in Jiangnan were extremely wide-reaching, with many people from the business world, government, and even the gray market wanting to curry favor with him. It wasn't just because of his high social standing, but also due to his very close personal relationships with many people, many of whom had received his mentorship.

If Old Master were to pass away, these people would undoubtedly no longer give the Wu family the same level of respect as before, and the family's influence would likely drop significantly.

Additionally, Old Master was a shrewd person who didn't cling tightly to power even in his old age. He had already transferred the household authority to Wu Donghai, allowing him to retire behind the scenes. This way, he wouldn't be criticized by future generations for having held too much power for too long.

Therefore, everyone in the Wu family hoped that Old Master would live a long and healthy life.

As they saw Old Master's emotions stabilize slightly, everyone quickly bid their respects.

As soon as they left the monitoring room, Wu Donghai instructed his younger brother, Wu Dongjiang: "East River, go tell everyone in the family, including staff and drivers, to keep their phones on silent mode at all times. If there are any disturbances found, I'll make sure they're held accountable!"

"Okay, big bro!" Wu Dongjiang quickly nodded and then added, "Big bro, you and Xiaoxin should get your legs treated as soon as possible! The doctor is already waiting." JrNovels.com
