Zhao Peng lit a cigarette, the lighter already held above the box, a mocking smile on his face. "Keep your eyes wide open, I'm going to set it on fire."
"Please don't burn my money!" Wang Guiqin struggled to crawl forward.
Just as her hand was a step away from the box,
The lighter fell.
"Boom!"
Flames immediately erupted.
Wang Guiqin stared intently, as if he had cut off her flesh, and let out a wail: "No..."
Shen Weihao was already traumatized from being beaten and dared not utter a single word.
He curled up there, afraid to move.
Zhao Peng savored the moment, watching Wang Guiqin's hand reach for the money in the burning box, and couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Doesn't she look like a starving dog?"
The bodyguards nodded with laughter.
"She really does!"
"I never thought anyone could be so greedy. She's trying to burn herself by touching the burning alcohol."
Wang Guiqin's hand had already grabbed the burning money.
A lot of alcohol had been poured into the box.
As she reached for it, her hand was immediately burned by the flames. In pain, she quickly pulled it back, and the alcohol on her skin ignited.
The pain made her scream uncontrollably, and she hurriedly tried to extinguish it.
She no longer dared to reach for the money and, filled with rage, lunged at Zhao Peng.
"You give me back my money, that's five million!"
But before she could reach him, a bodyguard grabbed her hair and forcefully raised his knee to strike her.
Wang Guiqin didn't even grunt. She was slammed in the face, her nose broken, and she immediately fell into a coma.
Zhao Peng spat on her face and gritted his teeth, "I can't afford to offend Mu Feng, but I can still deal with you two useless pieces of trash."
After speaking, his gaze fell on Shen Weihao, his eyes filled with a sinister glint.
"Since he wants to go to Mu Feng for money and wants to appear pitiful, then we'll fulfill his wish."
"Crush the bones of his hands, finger by finger."
Tragic screams echoed through the ward.
The night gradually deepened.
Wang Kuishan was old, and his mental state was far from what it used to be.
Mu Feng waited until his grandfather fell asleep before bidding farewell to his third aunt.
"Third Aunt, you don't need to see me out. Stay home. I'm not an outsider. I'll visit again next time."
"Xiao Feng, I still feel bad about that money tonight. No, Third Aunt means, it's not like I want to stir up trouble, but earning money is so difficult nowadays. You can't just throw money away next time."
"Don't you know your eldest aunt's personality? Giving the money to her is actually... alas!"
Mu Feng smiled, "Regardless, we are family. Consider it giving her one chance."
After saying goodbye, Su Nianxue linked arms with him, and they walked out of the old building.
"Feng Ge, tonight's events aren't like your usual self."
"Even though that money wasn't a lot, you just gave it away like that?"
A smile appeared on Mu Feng's face, "I'm making money. Five million will turn into five hundred million later."
"Five hundred million?"
Su Nianxue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Mu Feng smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes. I'll transfer this money directly to your account."
"This money should be deposited today."
Just as Su Nianxue was about to ask something,
A taxi pulled up.
Mu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, "You drive back first, I have something to attend to."
Su Nianxue had a slight guess, but then she smiled, "Then I'll wait for you to come back!"
The car disappeared into the night.
And in the stopped taxi, Shen Weihao and Wang Guiqin, supporting each other, finally got out.
Wang Guiqin was still cursing, "What kind of terrible driver are you? You drove so bumpy the whole way. Look how much my son is hurting. I'm not suing you is already good enough."
"Get lost quickly, or I'll smash your car windows."
As she spoke, she kicked the car hard several times.
The taxi driver's face turned green with anger. He had encountered a shrew.
Just then, a red banknote was handed over, and a gentle voice followed, "I'll pay for them."
"Mu Feng, do you have too much money to burn?"
"You don't need to give him money at all!" Wang Guiqin shouted.
The taxi driver hesitated. His anger was suppressed, and seeing that Mu Feng knew these people, he accepted the money.
"Young man, stay away from people like this in the future. Even if they are relatives, cut ties immediately. What kind of people are they!"
After speaking, he drove away.
Wang Guiqin, furious, cursed from behind.
Her head was wrapped in bandages, and her nose was flattened, but she still didn't forget to throw a tantrum.
Mu Feng frowned slightly, "Haven't you had enough beatings?"
"What are you talking about? I'm your eldest aunt, your elder." Wang Guiqin glared at Mu Feng, righteously saying, "I came to your grandfather tonight to ask for money."
She had expected Mu Feng to question her about why she came again after saying this.
But after a long while, Mu Feng didn't say anything.
She couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Aren't you going to ask me why I came to see your grandfather again?"
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "Aren't you just here to tell me that the money was destroyed, and you're penniless again?"
"How do you know?"
"Did you deliberately find Zhao Peng? That was five million! You bastard, you let him burn it?"
"You have to compensate me another five million, or I'll pester your grandfather every day. I won't let him have peace, and I can make him live a few years less out of anger."
As soon as Wang Guiqin finished speaking,
Mu Feng raised his hand and slapped her.
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of the slap was extremely loud in the silent night.
Wang Guiqin covered her face and looked up, her anger almost manifesting in her eyes, "This little bastard dared to hit me?"
"Slap!"
Mu Feng slapped her again.
"I'm slapping you twice on behalf of grandfather. You haven't shown filial piety to him at all over the years. Instead, you've always wanted to freeload off him and tried to swindle away all the money he had left."
"If you were filial to grandfather, that money would be nothing. I could even give you a large sum of money."
"But listen to what you're saying, you actually want to anger my grandfather to death. He's your biological father!"
Wang Guiqin said hysterically, "When has he ever treated me as his own daughter? He has so many treasures hidden away, why doesn't he give them to me? If he gave me all those treasures, I would also be filial to him."
"Is filial piety measured by money?" Mu Feng retorted.
