King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"What?"

Upon hearing Song Huazhao's words, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning!

The intense unease I felt before... actually came true!

"What's going on? Second sister! What happened to Dad?" I suddenly stood up and asked her, but then everything went black. The severe low blood pressure made me slump back onto the sofa.

"Dad had a stroke!"

Song Huazhao frowned and pondered, "He's being treated at a hospital in the capital!"

"Stroke?"

My head is spinning... He was perfectly fine, how could he have had a stroke?

For a big shot like Song Guolong, his healthcare and regular checkups are naturally top-notch...

In an instant, countless possibilities arose in my mind!

His own health condition is one aspect... but we can't rule out the possibility that outsiders might have sabotaged things!

But now I... suspect there's a mole!

Song Huayao is in charge of all of the Song family's medical insurance and private hospital operations...

That bastard!

If they're capable of using underhanded tactics against me... they might also try something dirty with Song Guolong!

With Song Guolong crippled, Yin Mei dead, and her altered will revealed, coupled with her long-term role as the Song family's legal counsel... the outcome was predictable!

Thinking of this, I grabbed Song Huayao by the collar, who was curled up on the ground, still trembling, and asked sternly, "Tell me! Was it you who did this? You arranged for Dad's private doctor too, didn't you?!"

At this moment, Song Huayao had already taken effect from the poison. She was delirious, her eyes were blurry, and her trembling lips were still murmuring, "Brother-in-law... I love you! I want to have your baby... Break up with my older sister, let's be together, okay? I'm younger than her, I'm prettier than her..."

"Oh shit!"

I angrily shook her off and asked Song Huazhao, "Second Sister, what do we do now? Does Mom know?"

Song Huayao's brows furrowed, her eyes darting around rapidly: "I haven't told her yet... Xiao Cheng! I have to go to Shoucheng. I'll leave things at home... in your and my older sister's care!"

"Second sister, are you leaving?"

"rest assured!"

Song Huazhao said solemnly, "I'll clean up that bunch of bastards under Third Brother's command for you! These are turbulent times... We siblings need to divide the responsibilities. I'll take care of Dad, Eldest Sister will keep the board of directors in check, you stay home to take care of Mom, manage the estate, and keep an eye on that beast with Hongman, and Fifth Brother too!"

"Oh...Sis! When are you leaving?"

"Let's go now!"

Song Huazhao closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "The situation with Dad is very complicated. You need to keep Mom calm... You absolutely mustn't let her know that Dad had a stroke! If necessary... you can indirectly place her under house arrest to prevent her from interfering with Eldest Sister's decisions! Xiao Cheng... once Mom finds out that Dad had a stroke, she'll personally interfere in the internal affairs of Song's Capital, which will be a real problem. She's been out of management for many years, and if she interferes again, it will only make things worse... Right now, everyone outside wants to see our family make a fool of themselves!"

It's clear she's exhausted, both physically and mentally! She's trying hard to suppress her emotions and organize her thoughts...

"Okay! Second sister! Don't worry! I'll handle things at the manor! By the way, second sister, where's Meiyun?" I asked with concern.

"With Meijuan..."

Song Huayao pondered for a moment and said, "I've brought Meijuan back. The surgery was very successful, and she's out of danger... The medical team in the capital can take care of her at home, so you can rest assured!"

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Hearing Song Huazhao say this, I frowned and sighed, "Third Sister... is it really safe up on this mountain? Who knows who Third Brother's henchmen are?"

Song Huazhao frowned slightly: "Xiao Cheng... they're all just employees, they're all opportunists. The third brother is in your hands now... they won't be so blind! Besides, Meijuan, Meiyun, and Meitong's security team are all my people. The third brother's people can't infiltrate. What else do you have to worry about... Alright! Time is of the essence. Since Mom has already authorized you to manage the resort fully, then this beast... is in your hands!"

After saying that, Song Huazhao turned and left... leaving me completely bewildered, and Hongman with a wicked grin on her face!

"Brother-in-law... I miss you, don't leave me..."

At this moment, Song Huayao's eyes were glazed over, and her face was flushed, as if she were drunk... She seemed to be completely unable to hear what others were saying, and was just muttering to herself!

This medicine is terrifying!

I can't imagine... what would have happened if that injection had been given to me.

Making a fool of myself is secondary... I may have completely lost myself!

"Red Man..."

I asked anxiously, "Damn it... that injection just now, didn't it make someone stupid? What if it kills them?"

"Oh!"

Hongman sneered, "Young Master! You really are... When someone was giving you acupuncture, didn't you ever consider... whether they might kill you? Now you're suddenly worried about her... She deserved to die!"

"Brother-in-law...I want..."

Song Huayao grabbed my ankle, weakly pulled at my socks, and even tried to kiss my ankle...

"Damn it... we can't get anything out of them at all?"

I quickly dodged my foot, frowning, and said, "She can't understand human speech anymore..."

"Ha! Let me ask!"

Hongman walked to Song Huayao's side, squatted down, and patted her face: "Third Miss... the old lady really deserves to die! Don't you agree?"

"Yes! Yes...yes! She deserves to die!"

With hazy eyes, Song Huayao said, "She...she died a long time ago! Brother-in-law...please marry me? Don't marry my eldest sister, she's old...she's almost menopausal, if you marry her, the baby won't be healthy either, please marry me? Brother-in-law...do you know? The older a woman is, the more disease-causing genes her children have..."

Song Huayao muttered to herself, but Hongman and I couldn't hear what she was saying... We just felt like she was talking to herself like an idiot.

Objectively speaking, from a medical knowledge perspective, Song Huayao could hold her own against Xu Meiyun... After all, she is the head of the medical sector of Song's Capital. However, she has not used her knowledge in the right way at all.

"OK!"

Hongman squatted down and continued patting Song Huayao's face, saying, "Then tell me... how do you plan to kill the old lady? Tell me... and your brother-in-law will marry you."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Song Huayao trembled, a glimmer of rationality flashing in her hazy eyes. Her lips quivered as she said, "How can she die? Fall to her death, be blown up, be poisoned by gas... she doesn't care how she dies! Brother-in-law... brother-in-law, where are you? Will you marry me? If you marry me... everything in the Song family will be yours. I'll have your children, and you'll become the chairman of the Song family... Once my father dies, once my mother dies, this family will be ours... Brother-in-law, where are you?"

Song Huayao seemed to have lost her sight, her hands groping and reaching helplessly. Suddenly, she grabbed Hongman's trouser leg, as if afraid Hongman would leave. Her face filled with fear and anxiety, she said in a dazed and confused voice, "Brother-in-law, don't go, don't go... don't leave me, don't leave Yaoyao..."

Seeing her like this, I smacked my lips, feeling a mix of emotions.

Her behavior... reminds me of Ah Zi from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," who also grabbed Xiao Feng like this!

I just don't understand...

I've only met you, Song Huayao, once before... at Song Guolong's birthday party.

Later, we didn't have much contact...

Do you really have such deep feelings for me?

Is it the effect of the medication? Or... that "Three Yangs Opening Yin" meridian therapy technique!

"Okay, okay! You won't leave our Yao Yao..."

Hongman smiled and continued, "Then tell me... what's your plan? When and how do you intend for that old lady to die? Tell me, and your brother-in-law will agree..."

Faced with Hongman's further inducement, Song Huayao did not hesitate this time. Trembling, she said, "I...I want her to be blown up! It's almost...almost the fifteenth...she, she'll definitely go to the Guanyin Cave in the back mountain to burn incense, I want to blow her up...and then, then let Song Cheng take the blame, Song Cheng...Song Cheng, he's the head steward now, everything in the mountains was arranged by him, yes! It was all arranged by him! He's the murderer! He...he wants to usurp power, he...he wants to usurp power with my older sister after my parents die! My older sister was involved too, she participated...hahaha!"

Guanyin Cave... blown up?

Is Yin Mei going to offer incense?

I gasped, carefully considering the logic behind it...

"Good! Very good!"

Hongman laughed and patted Song Huayao's face again: "What about your father? If he doesn't die, how will you and your brother-in-law inherit the Song family business?"

"Yes...yes! My dad, yes...that old geezer! He gave all his love to the fourth and fifth sons..."

Song Huayao gritted her teeth, her expression fierce, and said, "He deserves to die the most! He... no, no! Song Cheng? Isn't Song Cheng my brother-in-law? How could I harm him? I... I? No! I can't! I have to find someone else to take the blame... Fifth Brother, yes! It's Fifth Brother! That bastard! I've disliked her for a long time!"

At this moment, Song Huayao seemed to have cleared her mind a bit more and realized that her logic was contradictory!

"Okay, okay..."

Hongman, holding Song Huayao's hand, patiently and concernedly continued to ask, "Then tell me, what's your plan? How do you send Master to the Western Paradise?"

"He...he'll have a stroke, he...he'll become a vegetable, hahaha!"

Song Huayao let out a series of devilish laughs...
