Chapter 545 The Young Lady's Sudden Visit
At this point, Wang Sanmu's purpose was completely exposed.
To put it bluntly, he's afraid of dying and wants us to shield him from disaster.
"Also, you should mention the IVF thing to Fourth Wife. She thought I chickened out when I said it. Think about it, including this time, Gambling King Lu has performed the Seven Star Life Extension Scheme three times. He's defied fate too many times; he's bound to be punished!"
"When Fourth Wife starts mass-producing children, it's bound to cause some trouble!"
Wang Sanmu, still worried, added another instruction.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, if something really happens, we won't come out unscathed either. We'll definitely tell Fourth Aunt!" Fatty Lin said.
"Alright, that's all. I need to go to the hospital. I'm off!"
Having made things clear, Wang Sanmu got up to take his leave.
"Are you still going at this hour?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Alas, I have no choice in the matter!" Wang Sanmu sighed.
After seeing Wang Sanmu downstairs and watching him get into his car, Fatty Lin scoffed and said, "That old bastard, he's cunning and scheming!"
"Fatty, what do you think?" I asked.
"I think what he's afraid of isn't the backlash this time!" Fatty Lin said.
"How so?" I asked.
"He wasn't the one who set up the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation this time. He was just providing technical guidance on the sidelines. If something really goes wrong, the one who set it up will be the one who suffers the most, followed by the three of us who are responsible for ensuring Gambling King Lu's safety!" Fatty Lin said.
"Then what is he afraid of?" I asked.
"Have you forgotten the sentence he added later?" Fatty Lin said.
"Is Fourth Aunt planning to mass-produce children for sacrifice?" I realized.
"That's right!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "The guy recommended for the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation this time is playing the 'fortune favors the bold' game. I reckon it's a one-shot deal!"
"Indeed!" I nodded.
"So, the question is, what will happen when Gambling King Lu sets up the Seven Star Life Extension Scheme next time? Will Fourth Wife let him off the hook? The Seven Star Life Extension Scheme gets more and more dangerous each time. Will anyone still play the 'get rich quick by taking risks' game? If no one comes, won't Wang Sanmu still have to do it himself?"
Fatty Lin asked a series of questions, but he was telling the truth.
"Especially since the next sacrifice will most likely be mass-produced children!" I added.
The Seven Stars Life-Extending Scheme is inherently more dangerous with each iteration, and the fact that the Fourth Wife plans to use mass-produced children next time makes it even more perilous.
Therefore, Wang Sanmu was afraid.
"Damn it, that old bastard!"
After figuring it out, I cursed.
"hey-hey!"
Fatty Lin chuckled and said, "Let it be underhanded, but we really need to talk to Fourth Aunt about this. Otherwise, if Wang Sanmu is under pressure, we'll be under pressure too!"
"really!"
I nodded.
The last time I performed the Seven Stars Life Extension Formation, the situation was already very dangerous. This time, without a doubt, the risk will be even greater. The next time, the difficulty will increase again.
"Wang Sanmu, he made his money and enjoyed his wealth, but when it came time to bear the consequences and suffer the backlash, he ran away faster than anyone else!" Fatty Lin said.
"Running fast has its advantages too. The three of us will keep a close eye on him, and if he runs, we'll run too!" I said.
"Too!"
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and then laughed.
The next morning, just as we were about to go to the hospital, a phone call came in.
The number was a new one, and without thinking much, I answered it directly.
"I am Lü Jingqiong!"
Before I could speak, a familiar voice came from the phone.
"Young Miss?" I was a little surprised.
"Are you going to the hospital later?"
Lü Jingqiong asked directly.
"Yes, we were just about to go downstairs!" I said.
"I'm here, downstairs. Let's go together!" said Lü Jingqiong.
"That's not a good idea!" I said.
"I'm up here!" Lü Jingqiong said.
After saying that, he hung up.
"Damn, we're up!"
I glanced at Fatty Lin and waved my phone.
"Damn, what's this young lady up to?" Fatty Lin asked.
"How would I know!" I said, somewhat helplessly.
"Are you trying to sow discord between Fourth Aunt?" Fatty Lin asked suspiciously.
"I don't know!" I shook my head and said, "Let's go, they're here, let's greet them!"
"Why!"
Fatty Lin sighed and followed me downstairs.
When I got downstairs, I saw Lü Jingqiong walking in, dressed in a simple and appropriate plain-colored suit.
"Young Miss!"
Fatty Lin and I exchanged a glance and went to meet him at the same time.
Long Nier, who was already on the first floor, also called out along with us.
"Thirteen, Xiaolin, Nier!"
Lu Jingqiong smiled gently and said, "I'm going to the hospital anyway, let's go together!"
"Okay, I'll go get the car right now!" I said.
"Thirteen, get in my car. I'll have my assistant drive yours. I have something I want to say to you all!" Lu Jingqiong said calmly.
Upon hearing this, I subconsciously frowned.
"Alright, we also have something to say to the young lady!" Fatty Lin nudged me and made the decision.
"Okay!" I reluctantly agreed, feeling a bit helpless.
Some things you can't avoid.
I had expected the second wife's family to come looking for us, but I didn't expect it to be the eldest daughter of the second wife, Lü Jingqiong, and I certainly didn't expect her to come in person.
After getting into the car, I tentatively asked, "Miss, what brings you here today?"
"Nothing else to instruct me on."
Lu Jingqiong shook his head and said, "I came here today to thank the three of you for taking care of Daddy during this time. Without you, he might not have made it through this!"
This sounds really awkward to me. Ten days ago, if the second wife hadn't forced Stanley Lui to stay home and rest, he wouldn't be in this situation now.
I am a doctor, and I have the judgment to judge many things.
If we had gotten Gambling King Lui to the hospital three hours earlier, one surgery would have been enough; there would have been no need for three.
Therefore, the second wife bears a great deal of responsibility for how Lui became the gambling king he is today.
Now Lu Jingqiong is telling me to thank us for taking care of Lu the Gambling King, which I find absurd.
The key point is that Lü Jingqiong spoke very seriously, as if she were genuinely thanking us.
"Young Miss, this is what we should do!"
After pausing for a moment, I said calmly.
"Thirteen, in our family, there are many children, and people's hearts are in turmoil. I don't ask for anything else, I only ask that you protect your father's safety!" Lu Jingqiong said earnestly.
"Miss, don't worry about that. We will do everything we can to help the boss recover!" Fatty Lin quickly interjected, afraid that I might say something wrong.
When Fatty Lin spoke, I remained silent.
After getting into the car, Lu Jingqiong's words all focused on her concern for Lui's health. Apart from mentioning that people's hearts were in turmoil, she didn't mention the family disputes, the fourth wife's schemes, or anything about prolonging his life.
As for enticement, coercion, and transactions, not a single word was mentioned.
So, what is she trying to do?
Is this an opportunity to plant a seed in Fourth Wife's heart and sow discord?
