"If you have nothing else to do, you can go back," Ma Jianguo said dismissively, waving his hand.
This left the father and son looking at each other, feeling helpless. They could only nod in greeting and prepare to leave.
"Take your gifts with you. I, Ma Jianguo, never accept such things," Ma Jianguo stated sternly again.
Han Anhong had no choice but to signal Han Yutang to take the items from the table. With a fawning smile, he said, "Then, Old Ma, we will take our leave. We will visit you again when we have time."
"Xiao Wan, give me acupuncture..." However, Ma Jianguo completely ignored him, continuing his conversation with Wan Yunting.
This left Han Anhong and his son with no recourse but to leave dejectedly. As they stepped out the door, Han Anhong's face instantly fell. He exclaimed in disbelief, "How is that Wan Yunting connected to Old Ma? Who exactly is he?"
Han Yutang slumped entirely. "Dad, what should we do now? That Wan Yunting is clearly coming to the Fang family's defense. Now that he's connected to Old Ma, do you think he'll tell Old Ma about Yuze's matter?"
"You ask me, who am I supposed to ask?"
Han Anhong was so furious his face turned ashen. Wan Yunting's close relationship with Ma Jianguo was completely beyond their expectations. He angrily berated Han Yutang, "That scoundrel Han Yuze, who could he not provoke but that girl from the Fang family? He's going to get our Han family killed..."
At this moment, Han Yutang's face was filled with bitterness. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have told his father about the matter. If he had gone to Wan Yunting alone, perhaps there would still have been a chance to turn things around!
"Oh, my back..."
Perhaps from sheer anger, Han Anhong suddenly felt his old back injury flare up as if a knife had stabbed him. The searing pain made him unable to stand, and he collapsed in the stairwell, crying out in agony.
"Dad..."
This terrified Han Yutang. He dropped the things he was holding and rushed to help him, but the intense pain made Han Anhong's face turn pale, and his frail body trembled uncontrollably. "Quick... call an ambulance and take me to the hospital..."
"Alright, alright..."
In a state of panic, Han Yutang dared not help him up. He quickly called 120...
Meanwhile, upstairs in the house, Wan Yunting, Ma Jianguo, and Ma Zhendong were unaware of what was happening downstairs.
"Hmph, that old fogey Han Anhong is a corrupt element."
Ma Jianguo, who was lying on the bed and receiving acupuncture from Wan Yunting, snorted unceremoniously as he thought of Han Anhong.
It was clear he had no fondness for the Han family.
"Dad, we just won't deal with them in the future."
Ma Zhendong, sitting beside him, knew his father's character was always upright and incorruptible, forming a stark contrast with Han Anhong's decadent thinking.
"Did they come to see you today to give gifts?"
Wan Yunting, while needling Ma Jianguo's lower back, asked curiously.
"Indeed."
Ma Jianguo snorted, "There have been personnel changes recently. Han Anhong came over for the promotion of his second son, didn't he?"
Ma Zhendong chuckled and said, "Dad, you've retired, so you shouldn't bother with those things anymore."
"I don't care,"
Ma Jianguo rolled his eyes, but then thought about it again and became angry, "Back then, when Han Anhong was in that position, who knows how many shady dealings he was involved in behind the scenes, achieving nothing. He's simply a corrupt ideologue. Therefore, I firmly oppose their Han family's promotion this time. No, I need to call Xiao Hu..."
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about this later."
Seeing his father eager to call Hu Caiwei, Ma Zhendong quickly stopped him.
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not very fond of their Han family either!"
"Oh?"
This remark made Ma Jianguo and his son stunned. "Xiao Wan, have you had dealings with their Han family?"
"No."
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled, "But I know his grandson, Han Yuze!"
Ma Zhendong nodded, "I heard that kid just returned from England a while ago. He started a company there and it's developing very well. He doesn't seem like the kind of rich second-generation who only cares about pleasure."
This made Wan Yunting smile, "You can know someone's face, but not their heart!"
Ma Zhendong looked at him suspiciously. Wan Yunting's words implied something. "Yunting, did you have a conflict with him?"
"Yes, there was indeed a conflict..."
Wan Yunting nodded and did not conceal it. He briefly recounted the events of the exchange party the night before to Ma Jianguo and Ma Zhendong.
"What? He actually did something so despicable and vulgar!"
Upon hearing that Han Yuze had drugged Fang Yanxi, Ma Zhendong was shocked. The old man lying on the bed became even more agitated. Wan Yunting quickly soothed him, "Don't get agitated, old sir, I'm actually giving you acupuncture."
"I, how can I not be angry?"
Ma Jianguo's old face was filled with fury, and he cursed, "None of the three generations of their Han family are good people. It's infuriating me to death."
"What happened next?" Ma Zhendong asked.
So Wan Yunting recounted how Han Anhong and his son had gone to find Fang Yanxi and the others last night...
"This is going too far! That old scoundrel Han Anhong, so arrogant and lawless," Ma Jianguo became even more upset upon hearing that Han Anhong had threatened the Fang family.
Ma Zhendong was also angered by what he heard. "Then did you ask Old Pang for help?"
Wan Yunting shook his head, "After all, if this matter were to leak out, it would directly affect the Fang family, so the Fang family does not intend to involve the police to resolve it!"
Ma Zhendong nodded in understanding. Ma Jianguo on the bed turned to him and said, "Xiao Wan, I must stand up for you in this matter and teach that old scoundrel Han Anhong a harsh lesson."
"No need, old sir."
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled confidently, "If I can resolve it, I won't trouble you to take action."
Thinking of something, Ma Zhendong said, "Are you planning to have Jiang Wenhao step in?"
"Yes."
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "I have the appetite to swallow their company in one bite!"
"Alright, if you need our help, don't hesitate to ask."
Ma Zhendong knew that he and Jiang Wenhao were now establishing the Chaoting Financial Technology Group, and with the Wall Street wolf that was Jiang Wenhao, it would be enough to deal with their Han family's company.
"Hmm, why do I hear an ambulance?"
Suddenly, Ma Zhendong heard the sound of a 120 ambulance from downstairs. He looked out the window and saw a commotion below. Two doctors and nurses were coming out of the stairwell pushing a stretcher, with Han Yutang following behind, anxiously looking at his father, who was lying on the stretcher and moaning in pain...
"It's Han Anhong and his son..."
Ma Zhendong was taken aback. Wan Yunting smiled wryly, seeming to understand. It appeared that old fellow's time was running out!
"What?"
For a moment, Ma Jianguo and Ma Zhendong didn't understand what he meant by that statement...
First People's Hospital.
"Doctor, how is my father?"
As the doctor completed a series of examinations on Han Anhong's back, Han Yutang and the hastily arriving Han Qizhi asked nervously.
"The old man's lumbar injury is not optimistic."
The doctor, holding a CT scan, said to the two brothers Han Yutang with a frown, "You mentioned that the old man fell and injured his back while climbing mountains a while ago, right?"
