Chapter 149 Chaos in Wang Family (2)
Inside a dimly lit room, the feeble figure of an elderly man lay surrounded by a somber gathering of individuals. His body was frail and sickly, conveying a sense of vulnerability.
A trace of blood marked his clothes, hinting at recent coughing fits that had taken a toll on his weakened form.
Standing beside him, Wang Zheng, his hair now sprinkled with traces of grey, possessed a sturdy and well-defined physique. He engaged in a serious discussion with a younger man, their expressions reflecting the gravity of the situation.
"Doctor Tang, is there nothing we can do to improve our father's condition?" Wang Zheng's voice echoed with desperation.
Tang Dexin sighed sadly and shook his head. "I have thoroughly examined Patriarch Wang's body, but there are no visible abnormalities. It's possible he has contracted an unknown illness that eludes our current detection methods," he announced, his words casting a solemn atmosphere over the room.
Both Wang Chonglin and Wang Haoran stood nearby, their brows furrowed in concern. Although Wang Chonglin's lips formed a smile, it carried an underlying sense of anticipation, for he knew that upon Wang Liang's passing, he would ascend to the position of Chairman, assuming control of the Wang Group.
Wang Liang, a man of stature, proudly boasted three strapping sons and one charming daughter. Today, however, only two of his sons could be seen amidst the crowd - Wang Zheng and Wang Chonglin. Regrettably, Wang Liang's beloved wife had long departed from this world.
Wang Zheng, a year senior to his brother Wang Chonglin, found himself without any sons to carry on his lineage. The only trace of legacy he had was his precious daughter, Wang Xiaoying.
Tragedy had struck Wang Zheng's life, causing him to endure immense pain as his wife and children perished in a heart-wrenching accident. Seeking solace, he bravely entered the realm of matrimony once again, finding companionship in the arms of Lei Juan. As fate would have it, she had seen forty-two summers.
Lei Juan, a woman of salty wisdom, wore her life experiences etched upon her face in the form of gentle wrinkles. Despite this, she possessed an overall elegance, her oval visage radiating the grace of an average beautiful woman. Her flowing hair reflected the light, gleaming with lustrous beauty.
The absence of a male heir cast a dark cloud over Wang Zheng's future prospects. The coveted position of Chairman of Wang Group would not fall into his capable hands; instead, his younger brother Wang Chonglin would assume the mantle.
Unlike his elder brother, Wang Chonglin possessed both a son and a twenty-seven-year-old daughter named Wang Li. Unfortunately, Wang Li was absent from the gathering today, as she tirelessly devoted herself to the Chamber of Commerce in the bustling city.
Amongst the onlookers stood the loyal servants, led by the steadfast Jia Shuchun, their presence casting a solemn and reverent tone upon the scene.
Just as the words left Tang Dexin's lips, it felt like a bomb going off in the room. "At the current rate, Patriarch Wang, you have at most two weeks to live. It's better to start making preparations," he revealed with a solemn tone.
The news hit everyone like a tidal wave, causing their expressions to instantly change. "Only two weeks?" Wang Zheng muttered, brows furrowing as he took a stool and plopped down onto it, deep in thought.
At this moment, it became clear that all the efforts thus far had been focused on saving Wang Liang, not Wang Chonglin.
The weight of the situation was palpable, even for the most oblivious observer. They all knew the severity of the circumstances within their family, but without concrete evidence, no one dared to openly voice their concerns.
Feeling a surge of support, Lei Juan placed her hand reassuringly on Wang Zheng's shoulder, silently conveying her solidarity.
Suddenly, with a creak, the closed gates of the room swung open, startling everyone. A servant hurriedly entered and whispered something urgently into Wang Chonglin's ear.
As the words reached him, Wang Chonglin's face twisted in a mix of anger and shock. "We have an intruder?!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with righteous fury.
"What!? Someone breached the security!?" Wang Zheng exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock.
"Why didn't you stop them!? How many of them are there!?" he demanded, his voice laced with urgency.
In an instant, he reached out and grasped the guard's collar, his grip firm and intimidating, as he interrogated him.
The guard quivered under Wang Zheng's fierce gaze, his voice trembling as he replied, "T-There is only one!"
"Only one!?" Wang Zheng's disbelief mixed with alarm, fueling his determination.
"What!?"
The revelation sent another jolt of surprise through him, and already, the echoing sound of approaching footsteps reverberated through the corridor, growing louder as the intruder drew nearer.
Wang Zheng, a former brigadier general who had once served in the military, felt a surge of suspicion. He had voluntarily retired and returned to his post after Wang Liang fell ill. The current situation heightened his senses and fueled his curiosity.
Without hesitation, he positioned himself at the forefront, his towering figure exuding authority and ready to confront the intruder head-on.
__________
A few minutes ago, outside the magnificent Wang Family villa, Zhang Wei skillfully parked his sleek car under the comforting shade of a sprawling tree. He leaned against the door, took a deep drag from his cigarette, and let his thoughts drift as he pondered his entrance strategy.
The city chamber of commerce had recently unleashed a storm of trouble upon the Lin Group. Fortunately, Zhang Wei, armed with insider knowledge gained from his deal he made with the system, two days ago, now he possessed two crucial pieces of information.
First, he had discovered that the chairman of the Wang Group, Wang Liang, was battling an illness. This presented an opportunity that Zhang Wei couldn't ignore.
Secondly, the Lin Group had successfully acquired another company in a groundbreaking 2 billion HLD deal. This strategic move would allow them to expand into the enticing realm of Media and Entertainment. Even though the deal had been halted a year ago due to financial constraints, Zhang Wei was determined to seize this golden opportunity.
