Wu Zhiheng was not someone who would swallow grievances, not to mention that it involved his company this time. He immediately mentioned Bai Ji and the heads of the Liu Family and Wang Family as well as the group master to express his anger.
He told them everything from A to Z and he even added a few photos of the jades that Fu Zhi had gotten today at the end of his message.
[The entire Lu Family including Fu Zhi are burglars! She doesnât know anything, yet she can defeat Master Chu? Are you kidding me! Iâm sure she has something to do with the person that angered our group master. Therefore, after we kick this person out of the group, we must go look for the Lu Family to stand up for our group master!]
Wu Zhiheng did not know if Fu Zhi had an account in this group at all. After all, by the time they joined this group, this group had already been established for more than a year.
The Wu Family was undeniably at the lowest level in this group, and after their bankruptcy, they did not even have the qualification to say anything in this group.
However, the Bai Family and the Liu Family were different. Both families had a lot of influences in the capital, and it was an easy deal for them to get rid of the Lu Family.
Wu Zhiheng was getting better and better at stirring up problems. He looked as if he was helping the group master, but in reality, he was doing this for his own good. He told everyone in the group how Fu Zhi beat him while they were in Myanmar.
He illustrated and distorted the truth of the incident by giving examples, making prose, and using exaggerated sentences in an attempt to arouse the love and pity of the successful members of society for the underprivileged like him! Besides, he also attempted to pull all of them to his side so that they could launch a crusade against the Lu Family!
Wu Zhiheng felt he had done a great job. After he sent the message, he took a sip from the tea and said to himself, âIâm really such a genius!â
He closed his eyes and waited to reap the fruit that he sowed. Everyone in the group respected the group master and they maintained a good relationship with each other. He often heard them saying that they were like birds of a feather, so he was waiting for Bai Ji and the others to get angry.
Truth be told, had it not been for Fu Zhi to push him to the corner, he would not have gone so far.
Bai Ji and the others fell silent for a moment, for none of them expected that this matter would have anything to do with the Lu Family, or that there was a so-called reporting system.
Bai Ji was speechless at Wu Zhiheng and he looked at those pictures.
Those were Grade S jades, and they were all beautiful, especially Dragonstone Jade.
Nobody talked in the group for a long while. Just when Wu Zhiheng was going to send another message, the head of the Lu Family appeared.
[A Dragonstone Jade? How can there be such a pretty, young, and capable girl in this world? Sheâs so great! If I have a daughter, I want her to be Fu Zhi as well!]
No sooner had the head of the Liu Family sent a message into the group than the rest of the people began to come to life.
[Isnât that a Purple Jade? Itâs so beautiful!]
[Sheâs so gorgeous, and sheâs my ideal standard for choosing a spouse.]
[This is life. You might not be successful no matter how hardworking you are, but once a rich woman falls in love with you, youâre not far away from success. Letâs go and seduce Fu Zhi together!]
[Repeat after me! Seduce Fu Zhi!]
[If I can make her my daughter-in-law, we Cai Corporation might save at least 20 years of effort.]
[I suggest you all read the book âRich Womanâs Delicate Manâ. As long as you can master everything inside, she will be able to see through your vulnerabilities and walk into your life.]
Wu Zhiheng was stunned.
âWhatâre they talking about? Why canât I understand a single thing? Are they all praising Fu Zhi?â
Wu Zhiheng felt they had misunderstood him, so he interrupted, [Isnât we should be discussing what we should do to the Lu Family? Of course, the Wus donât have much say in this group, so Iâll follow your arrangement.]
Wu Zhiheng tried to bring the conversation back to Fu Zhi to wake this group of lost sheep up.
The group of lost ships replied, [Since you know you donât have much say in this group, then just keep silent and donât interrupt us, okay?]
Wu Zhiheng was stunned.
[All of us are birds of a feather. We would inform each other of the jade stones to be bet on before each stone gambling session to eliminate any cut-throat competitions. Now the people of the Lu Family are hiding amongst us, and she enticed me to have a match with her despite knowing that she could get Grade S jades. She has broken the game rules, so shouldnât you guys be angry with her?!]
Wu Zhiheng was exasperated.
Everyone in this group was the crop of the cream in their respective industries. By right, they should honor promise and integrity above everything. Besides, no cut-throat competition was something that everyone had agreed on.
Just as he expected, Bai Ji said, [Heâs right. Weâre all birds of a feather and we should eliminate any cut-throat competition.]
Wu Zhihengâs heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had no idea why but he had a feeling that Bai Ji and he were not on the same page.
[But whether itâs to avoid cut-throat competition and even if weâre birds of a feather, all of these regulations are null and void when someone is harming our group master. You should know this, right?]
[Yes! Thatâs what Iâm doing right now. Iâm standing up for our group master! I donât want that sc*mbag from hurting our group master anymore! If I see that sc*mbag, Iâll not let him go away!]
[Are you sure about that?]
Bai Ji pressed on.
[Yes! I swear on my life! Iâll throw him into a septic tank!]
Wu Zhiheng replied.
The head of the Liu Family spurted a mouthful of water on the screen.
[Erm⦠Xiao Wu, although youâre a sc*mbag, I have to say that you really the most ruthless sc*mbag Iâve ever seen. After all, it takes a lot of guts to jump into a septic tank.]
Wu Zhiheng became speechless.
Everyone fell silent for a moment and they all began to express their agreement on that statement.
[Xiao Wu, youâre a good boy. I hope you can adapt your actions to your words, and I hope youâll have a fun time swimming in the septic tank.]
[Xiao Wu, although youâve offended our group master and have publicly criticized our group master, your tenacity and refusal to give in to the power of money indeed is a good example for youngsters nowadays.]
[Are you really going to do it? Donât forget to tape it down when youâre doing it and send it to the group! Or else, we wonât believe in you.]
[There are always a few idiots behind a successful woman. He just needs to stand there and we already know heâs an idiot.]
[Of all the people in the world, I donât understand why must he pick on a rich woman? If heâs not an idiot, who is?]
As more and more messages entered the group chat, Wu Zhihengâs heart sank deeper and deeper as a bad premonition rose from his stomach pit.
âWhy are they calling me sc*mbag? Whyâre they saying Iâm the one who offended the group master? There must be some misunderstanding in this.â
After all, he was a good and polite little boy!
Could it be that Fu Zhi and her people had said something to them before him?
When the thought popped into Wu Zhihengâs head, he hastily mentioned the group master and replied, [Group master! Please come out and help me. I donât know why but all of them keep saying that Iâm the one who offended you. Did Fu Zhi say something to you guys? Please, you guys must not believe her!]
Fu Zhi did not have time to answer him since she was doing her best to reject the deer blood that her mother made for her.
Bai Ji then said, [Dude, Fu Zhi has indeed said something about you to us.]
Wu Zhihengâs eyes lit up!
âAh-ha! I got ya, Fu Zhi!â
[Where is Fu Zhi? Is she in the group as well?]
[Say something Fu Zhi. Donât just keep silent!]
[Hereâs my phone number. Call me now and letâs confront each other at the Lucky Cloud Pavilion!]
Just when Wu Zhiheng was about to send the next message, Bai Ji chimed in, [Do you still remember the person you mentioned just now? Yeah, thatâs Fu Zhi.]
Wu Zhiheng was stumped.
The group fell silent once again.
âThe person I mentioned just now? Who did I mention just now? Oh, I just mentioned the group master. Wait, the group master? The group master is Fu Zhi?â
Wu Zhiheng did not believe it. He might actually believe it if Bai Ji said Fu Zhi was his long-lost daughter, but this was ridiculous.
[Are you kidding me?]
[Are you worthy of me joking with you?]
Wu Zhiheng was devastated.
[Did Xiao Wu not know that Fu Zhi is the group master?]
[Look at his stupid face. I doubt he knows anything.]
[He couldâve asked. Iâve already asked the information about our group master from Lao Liu when I first joined the group. I was 28 that year, an eligible bachelor, and the school hunk of Z University. Our group master was 14 years old that year. Sheâs young and beautiful as a flower, and it took me a year to court after her. In the end, I didnât know why but I suddenly got sentenced to jail for several months on the offense of attempted child molestation before I finally learned the true identity of our group master.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Well, our group master didnât really forbid us from learning her identity, right? As long as we stay in the group long enough, Lao Liu will let us know some details about her. Besides, Lao Liu has shown us the picture of him helping her do his homework, right?]
Wu Zhiheng looked at the messages as his brain went blank.
Everyone was sharing their stories of how they learned Fu Zhi was the group master, and it seemed to Wu Zhiheng that he was the only one who did not know about that.
He was overwhelmed by despair, and he still found it hard to believe that Fu Zhi was the one who helped them the entire time. After all, how was there any possibility that Fu Zhi could be so good at stone gambling at such a young age? However, all of the people in the group said that it was Fu Zhi all along.
Wu Zhiheng had a headache, and he felt like he was a clown.
The people in the group continued to send messages to the group.
[Our great leader once said that we should never bite the hands that feed us. You have the audacity to be unthankful, so you deserve to be thrown off the septic tank.]
[The Wu Family is just a third-rated family that year. You guys didnât even have the eligibility to enter the group. If it was not for happenstance, do you think you and your dad are worthy of being on an equal footing with us?]
[We indeed always say that weâre birds of a feather, but we never include you and your father. We will forever stand on Fu Zhiâs side, and we will never forgive those who try to harm her!]
[I heard that you and your father even work with the Ouyangs to go up against our group master? You and your father really have a death wish.]
[You deserve what you get. A man without credibility and without gratitude wonât be successful. Help me to pass a message to your father. Tell him that this is what he gets for being an ungrateful person!]
These people were a bunch of highly-educated people. They seldom acted like this, but they could not help it this time since Fu Zhi was their bottom line.
After they had had enough of criticizing and dissing Wu Zhiheng, they kicked him and his father out of the group.
Outside of the door, Wu Qi went into the room and called Wu Zhiheng after he was done with Chu Yunsheng.
The Wu Corporation was a listed company. They needed the green light from their government to declare bankruptcy. The process was complicated, and Wu Qi refused to admit defeat yet.
Therefore, he said, âWe need to borrow some money from the people in the group. Iâve talked to the people in the Lucky Cloud Pavilion. They are going to import another batch of jade stones in another few days, and we canâ¦â
âNo more, dad,â Wu Zhiheng mumbled.
Wu Qi lifted his head and looked dumbfoundedly at Wu Zhiheng.
âTheyâve kicked us out of the group,â Wu Zhiheng said, his voice shaking. âFu Zhi is the group master. They all are on Fu Zhiâs side, so thereâs no way theyâre going to help usâ¦â
Wu Zhiheng wanted to cry right now.
He thought of countless possibilities, but the only thing he didnât expect was that Fu Zhi would be a bigshot in the stone gambling industry.
Wu Qi had expected this, but he still found it hard to accept when he learned it from Wu Zhiheng.
He couldnât believe that the people in the group would be so cold-blooded and kicked them out of the group despite their relationship.
âWhat should we do now, dad?â
âWhat should we do? What else could we do?â Wu Qi rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said, âWe still have the Mu Family. Didnât we just invest 100 million into their movie? As long as the movie doesnât flop, there is still a chance of getting back the money.â
