And after Xu Shi Chang’s words, Xu Wen Jing and the others also showed regretful expressions.
However, Xu Wen Jing quickly said, “Dad, if that’s the case, isn’t it a pity to use up the last chance for my brother’s situation? I’ve already asked Ah Chen about Jiang Ye, and he promised to help.”
Hearing this, Xu Shi Chang shook his head and said, “It’s useless. You don’t know how formidable Jiang Ye is. It’s said that he’s ruthless, cunning, and cold-hearted. He doesn’t give anyone face. To deal with someone like him, we need to use unconventional methods; otherwise, it’s impossible. And if we let him escape, he will surely come back for revenge even more ruthlessly.”
“So we must ensure that we eliminate him decisively and leave no room for escape.”
Hearing this, Xu Wen Jing could only nod and say, “Alright, my brother’s situation can’t be left like this.”
Afterward, Xu Shi Chang looked at them and said, “I’ll make a phone call. Wait here.”
A few minutes later, Xu Shi Chang returned while holding his phone.
“How did it go?” Lin Cui asked anxiously.
Xu Shi Chang nodded and said, “It’s done! But he also said that after this matter is resolved, we should never call him again. This number will be deactivated.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Cui breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a sense of regret. This was the only means of contact and now it was completely cut off.
Meanwhile, in a room in the military district compound in the capital city; two middle-aged men with refined manners were sitting across from each other, playing a game of chess.
The man with an imposing presence let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his furrowed brows. His opponent, a scholarly-looking man, couldn’t help but ask, “Old Song, what’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”
Hearing this, the man with an imposing presence smiled faintly and said, “It’s nothing. I just fulfilled a favor that had been owed for nearly twenty years, and it feels like a weight has been lifted.”
Favors are the hardest debts to repay, and he was more afraid of the Xu family not making any demands than anything else. He was afraid they would keep the last promise indefinitely. Fortunately, the Xu family made a request.
From now on, he had no further ties to the Xu family.
Upon hearing the man’s words, the scholarly-looking man, Wei Qing, laughed and said, “No wonder! You old man, you’re most afraid of having people owe you. I’ve known you for so many years, and I’ve never seen you form deep relationships with anyone!”
The majestic man with an imposing presence chuckled and said, “That’s not true. Haven’t you been my confidant all these years?”
“Hahaha, you old man, you’re strangely talkative today! Come on, let’s play another round. Wanyan will probably be heading home in half an hour!” Wei Qing said with a big laugh.
“Go away! You, the henpecked husband, are showing off your affection in front of me!”
With that, he handed his phone to his secretary and said, “Dispose of this SIM card. It won’t be needed anymore.”
“Yes, sir.”

After finishing breakfast, Lin Yi Chen tidied up the trash on the table and threw it into the bin outside. Then, he returned to the hospital room.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Wan Yu spoke calmly, “Mr. Lin, thank you for your help. You don’t need to trouble yourself further. I’ll be fine.”
Hearing her words, Lin Yi Chen’s expression dimmed slightly. Nevertheless, he replied, “It’s no trouble. I can wait a bit longer until you’re feeling better.”
“No need. We’re neither relatives nor acquaintances, and it’s better not to waste your precious time,” Jiang Wan Yu said directly.
The phrase “neither relatives nor acquaintances” struck Lin Yi Chen like a knife.
