The total cost came up to 300 million, and the final bid was 400 million. The three families wanted to give Wu Jingzhong a total of 100 million in profit and keep the rest for themselves.
“Nonsense! Nonsense! This is simply nonsense!!!”
Elder Wu was so angry that he slammed the so-called evidence on the table. His chest rose and fell violently. Nangong Nuannuan could not help but cradle her forehead when she saw that blood was beginning to accumulate in his heart again.
She wanted to wash her hands of this matter, but she now realized that she had caused a disaster. Wherever she went, bad things followed.
Elder Wu clutched his chest, unable to breathe, and his entire body started to twitch. The Wu family cried out in alarm and looked to the woman standing by calmly for help. Then, she pulled out a silver needle to treat Elder Wu.
After the treatment, she massaged Elder Wu’s heart again. Only when he had recovered did she finally speak. “Elder Wu, there’s nothing wrong with your heart, but when you get angry, it’s easy for blood to accumulate and make your heart walls congested. If this happens, blood flow will be blocked and you’ll experience heart ischemia symptoms. Therefore, soothing your mood and not getting angry is the key to maintaining a healthy body.”
With Wu Pingting’s help, Elder Wu slowly sat up. He sighed. “I also want to stay calm. Usually, I’m quite happy. But I didn’t expect the Wu family to have to suffer one disaster after another. My son said he was diligent and dedicated to his people. No matter how big the sacrifice was, he would be willing to do it. I didn’t expect him to grow up to betray the people closest to him.”
“Grandpa, are you talking about Wu Zongxu?” Wu Pingting came back to her senses and looked at Elder Wu in disbelief.
Wu Jingcheng put the so-called evidence on the table and said, “We cut off contact with these three relatives last year because they were too greedy and liked to use the Wu family’s name to swindle people. Your uncle couldn’t stand them anymore. He ended his relationship with them in front of me and your grandfather and ordered them out of the family for good. From then on, the Wu family would not be involved in their lives anymore. How could your uncle subcontract the project to these three and even sign such a contract with them? Isn’t he going against everything he stood for?”
“So, Wu Zongxu heard that uncle cut ties with these three families and used uncle’s private seal to forge this evidence?”
Wu Jingcheng sneered. “It wasn’t forged. He really did subcontract it last year.”
...
“Huh?” Wu Pingting gasped.
“These three received the subcontract last year. To maximize their benefits, they used low-quality materials. This incident happened suddenly due to a small earthquake a few days ago. It did not affect other places very severely, and any damages were quickly repaired. However, one part of the road suddenly collapsed. There was severe soil erosion. Upon inspection, it was found that the materials used to build the road were seriously below standard. Only after checking with the road builders did they find out that this road had been subcontracted out by your uncle. Initially, if such a thing really happened, with your uncle’s prestige in the administrative department, the matter wouldn’t have blown up very much. However, not only was this road subcontracted out in an underhanded way, but a minor small earthquake had caused it to collapse. This shoddy job put the public in danger, which angered them greatly!”
