King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"What? More troublesome than...more troublesome than getting shot?"

My head is spinning... I don't even want to think about it!

The greatest sin in the world, isn't it being shot? What sin could be more troublesome than being shot?

"Um!"

Song Huazhao nodded, then pondered, "Hua Lin... cough! How should I put it? Actually, it's not her fault... If anyone's to blame, it's that French thug who was so hateful..."

"Second sister, what exactly happened? What did Hua Lin do?"

I frowned and asked anxiously, "What happened to that French thug? Explain yourself..."

"Ugh!"

Song Huazhao sighed: "Back then... Hua Lin went to study in France, met a boyfriend, and got pregnant. She didn't dare to make a fuss and secretly had an abortion... Later, she was arranged to marry into the Feng family in Sichuan, but the Feng family wasn't stupid either; they insisted on a premarital checkup, and that's how the truth came out, wasn't it?"

"Oh, oh, oh... and then?"

"And then...it just fell apart!"

Song Huazhao shrugged with a wry smile: "This incident became a family disgrace at the time, bringing shame to the Song family! It would be difficult for Hualin to get married again, so... Hualin hated that French rogue..."

"So, what's wrong?"

I'd never seen Song Huazhao speak so hesitantly: "Second Sister, hurry up and get to the point! I'm dying of impatience!"

"Tsk!"

Song Huazhao clicked his tongue, as if he was unsure whether to tell me or not... After a moment, he opened his phone and showed me the screen: "See for yourself!"

When I saw the video on my phone, I was so shocked I gasped!

Inside an iron cage was a "monster," tortured beyond recognition, neither human nor ghost...

"This...this is?" My lips trembled with shock.

"That's right!"

Song Huazhao said, "This is that French thug... He's been locked up in the basement of the Xu family's dance troupe! Hua Lin goes to see him occasionally and even whips him..."

"Oh My God!"

My heart was pounding... my brain was racing!

Last night, Hua Lin said... Xu Shaokun took Pierre to Southeast Asia, didn't he?

What... he's actually in the Xu family's dance troupe?

I can hardly believe... that the Xu Family Song and Dance Troupe could harbor such filth and corruption?

"Second sister... so, what were you doing last night?" I looked at Song Huazhao in shock.

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao said with a wry smile, "Hua Lin is, after all, my sister... I couldn't just stand by and watch her die, so I arranged for people to be sent away overnight..."

"Sent them away?"

"Yes! He's already on a cargo ship bound for South America."

Song Huazhao looked at me slyly and smiled, "What? You still want to keep him around to continue to disgust Hua Lin?"

"No, no, no!"

I waved my hands repeatedly: "I'm not that perverted! I just didn't expect... things to turn out this way. So... Second Sister, this matter... won't involve Hua Lin, will it? I feel that Xu Shaokun was behind this! It's in line with his style. Hua Lin, she..."

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Song Huazhao looked at me slyly and grinned mischievously, "What? Judging from your expression... you seem quite concerned about your fifth sister? You two don't seem like mortal enemies, do you?"

"Oh dear! Second sister... she's still my sister! Aren't you the same? You haven't slept for a day and a night, haven't you been worrying about her too!"

"hehe!"

Song Huazhao smiled faintly: "It's kind of you to have this thought... However, even if you mean well, they might not consider you family. Our fifth son is quite ruthless!"

"Oh? How did she become so heartless?" I asked curiously.

Song Huazhao sneered, "When she was little, she saw a needle on my mom's bed... She clearly saw it, but deliberately didn't warn my mom, just waiting for her to get pricked... That time, I had to cover for her, saying she was just a kid and who knows what she was thinking... Otherwise, if my mom had found out her true intentions, she would have beaten her to death!"

"Does she hate your mother that much?"

"Um!"

Song Huazhao nodded: "Originally... my mother bet that she would have a boy, but it turned out to be a girl. My mother is also too old to have any more children, and... she even developed diabetes because of carrying her. So she took out all her resentment on her... and beat her up for the slightest thing!"

"Oh, I see... I see!"

I nodded thoughtfully: "That Fifth Sister... she's actually quite pitiful!"

"Is she pitiful? Is she pitiful or not!"

Song Huazhao sneered, "You have no idea how much my dad spoils her! He gives her whatever she wants, even the stars and the moon... You've seen Titanic, right? Hua Lin wanted that Heart of the Ocean necklace... My dad had a European jewelry manufacturer produce an exact replica overnight!"

"Wow! Awesome!"

"Hmph...and the diamonds in her makeup cabinet, they're all dozens of carats!"

Song Huazhao said playfully, "My mom wasn't good to her, so my dad... gave her all his love!"

"Oh, right! Second sister..."

I sighed, "Song Huayao came to see me around 11 a.m. this morning... What did she want? I was asleep at the time."

"What am I going to do? I'll do whatever I want to you! What am I going to do?" Song Huazhao sneered.

"Tsk! Second sister... look at what you're saying..."

I said awkwardly, "Didn't you say she wanted to kill me? How could she be so blatant? What is she doing...?"

"Silly little brother!"

Song Huazhao smiled bitterly, "Hua Yao's specialty is killing with a soft knife! When she comes, she'll definitely thank you first, thanking you for helping her escape my mother's control and successfully get married... Then she'll try to win you over, making you think she's a really good person, slowly lowering your guard against her, and then... she'll find an opportunity to push you into a trap..."

"Hiss! That's really poisonous!"

"That's for sure!"

Song Huazhao rolled his eyes: "My sisters! None of them are easy to deal with! Look at the fourth one, Hua Jin, she's petty and vindictive, but her badness is out in the open...you can see it, you can touch it. But the third and fifth ones are both cunning!"

She paused, then continued, "You can still hear a word or two of the truth from the fifth brother, but remember this: from the third brother, there's not a single word of truth. You have to listen to her words in reverse..."

"By the way! Where's Dad?" I asked worriedly.

"Dad went to the capital!"

Song Huazhao smiled and said, "What? You need to see Dad about something?"

"Uh...no, not really..."

I said awkwardly, "I don't know why, but ever since Dad left home last night, my heart... has been racing, and I have this bad feeling."

"Giggle..."

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying! What could he possibly be busy with? Dad's very busy! He went to the capital for a meeting!"

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Despite what Song Huazhao said, I still felt a vague unease in my heart!

"Xiao Cheng!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Why don't you ask about Meijuan?"

"Uh... Second sister, look at me..."

I said awkwardly, "I've been so busy, I haven't had a chance to think about it... How's Meijuan? Is she alright?"

"The surgery was a success!"

Song Huazhao pondered for a moment and said, "The child should be fine and can be saved. She can stay in the hospital for a few days for observation... If the problem isn't too serious, I'll send someone to bring her back to recuperate. But... you're the head steward of the Song family now, so there are many things... you can't rely on me for everything. You need to make the arrangements yourself!"

"Oh...I know that."

As soon as I finished speaking, Hongman walked over, bent down and whispered a few words in Song Huazhao's ear.

"Giggle giggle!"

Song Huazhao gave me a sly and sinister smile and winked at me: "Alright... I should go rest now. Your third sister is here, so you should entertain her properly."

"Huh? Second sister, I...?"

"Remember what your second sister said!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Every word she says is a lie... You have to listen to her words in reverse..."

After saying that, Song Huazhao left.

And me... I'm filled with confusion and questions!

Since Song Huazhao knows that Song Huayao wants to harm me, why doesn't he talk to me about Song Huayao's plan?

Just tell me... every single thing Song Huayao said was a lie!

And... if this woman is this damn shrew and this cunning!

How could he possibly date an ordinary university teacher?

This is so fucking illogical!

Shouldn't a woman like her be the most greedy and self-serving?

But for now, eating is the most important thing!

I continued eating with my head down, and ate until I was stuffed!

Just as I finished eating and was about to light a cigarette, Hongman's voice came from outside the door: "Third Miss...please come in, Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time..."
