CHAPTER 356: CHAPTER 356: THE OMEN OF SEPARATION AND COLLAPSE

"Please sign here." The doctor saw Sheng Hong agree to the surgery request and quickly signaled the nurse beside him to bring the pre-prepared surgical informed consent form.

Looking at the paper and pen handed to him, Sheng Hong gritted his molars hard. Finally, with his teeth clenched and his right hand trembling, he signed his name. After signing, it was as if all strength was drained from him as he collapsed heavily onto the bed, his eyes first blank and then filled with the fiery glow of hatred.

"Xu Jiahui, I won’t let you get away with this." Sheng Hong said quietly through gritted teeth.

The doctor didn’t pay attention to what Sheng Hong was muttering. The moment Sheng Hong signed his name, they immediately began to prepare for the surgery-related matters, and Sheng Hong was injected with anesthetic and pushed into the operating room.

Having done the dirty deed, Sheng Wenhao laughed while driving. He initially wanted to call Xu Ke to share the good news but decided to tell Xu Ke in person. So he headed straight to the headquarters of Xu Group after leaving the hotel.

When Xu Ke in his office received word that Sheng Wenhao had arrived, his eyebrows couldn’t help but raise a bit, "Let him up, tell the receptionist not to stop him in the future if he wants to come up." Xu Ke instructed his assistant.

Shortly after the assistant left, Sheng Wenhao’s footsteps could be heard. Upon entering Xu Ke’s office, Sheng Wenhao first carefully closed the door, ensuring that no one outside could hear inside, then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, you should’ve seen the situation then, it was hilarious, enough for me to laugh for a lifetime." Sheng Wenhao slouched on the sofa, holding his stomach, speaking.

"What happened to that couple that made you this happy?"

"How did you know they were the ones being dealt with, and not that they started fighting each other?" Sheng Wenhao wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes, asking curiously.

"Intuition." Xu Ke pointed at his own head.

"Your intuition was spot on. I don’t know the woman’s identity, but that old bastard Sheng Hong acted like a scared rat in front of her, even hit his wife so hard it was brutal." Sheng Wenhao smacked his lips with excitement.

"And that vicious woman went in so arrogantly, but ended up, haha, being dealt with so badly she didn’t even dare scream aloud, ditched her bodyguards and sneaked out like a thief. She thought so highly of herself, ha, she was nothing but a pile of dog crap when she met someone more powerful, didn’t even dare make a peep." Sheng Wenhao sat up from the couch, lounging lazily, as if boneless, on the sofa.

"Oh, I did something particularly satisfying today, guess what I did?" Sheng Wenhao suddenly became spirited as he remembered something, straightening up and looking at Xu Ke with bright, shining eyes.

"How could I guess, but it must be something significant." Xu Ke responded cooperatively with his friend.

"That’s right, I crippled that old bastard Sheng Hong." Sheng Wenhao couldn’t help but burst out laughing as he spoke.

"Crippled?" Xu Ke couldn’t hide his shock, not expecting Sheng Wenhao to pull off something like this.

"Yes, crippled. For the rest of his life, he’ll have to be a eunuch without roots, hahaha. Wasn’t he the one who valued his progeny the most? I cut off his line to see how he plans to create more offspring, I’m going to ensure his line ends with him." Sheng Wenhao’s eyes finally glistened with a mix of hatred and satisfaction as he spoke.

"Congratulations on avenging your great grievance." Xu Ke was genuinely happy for seeing his friend so joyful.

Sheng Wenhao waved his hand modestly at Xu Ke’s words, "It’s nothing, this is just the start. I’ve still not had enough fun yet. If it ended just like this, wouldn’t that be too easy for them? I want to see them lose everything."

"How could they not experience everything I enjoyed?" Sheng Wenhao squinted his eyes, looking at a corner of the room.

"Don’t worry, that day won’t be long, maybe even sooner than we expect. According to your plan, the partnership between the Qian Family and the Sheng Family should end here." Xu Ke said with a slight smile.

"Oh?" Sheng Wenhao’s tone carried a hint of curiosity.

His friend’s sensitivity in business matters was indeed somewhat lacking. Fortunately, he hadn’t intended to venture into business himself; otherwise, with this level of acumen, he would’ve ended up bankrupt early on.

"Madam Sheng holds grudges over even the smallest matters. After being humiliated like this today, do you think she’d spare this couple? Madam Sheng will surely target both of them, while Sheng Hong isn’t someone to be easily manipulated. Friction within this couple is foreseeable.

Now, the Shengs are already troubled by the two pieces of land they couldn’t sell. If the Qian Family also intervenes, it will definitely be an icing-on-the-cake situation for the Sheng Family. It seems that I can lower my buying price for the lands even more." Xu Ke laughed connivingly.

Although he didn’t understand what the fallout between the Qian and Sheng families had to do with Xu Ke buying land at a lower price, Sheng Wenhao stifled his curiosity, realizing that even if he asked, he wouldn’t understand. So instead, he pondered on how to discreetly harm the despicable couple while enjoying the spectacle.

The couple at the hospital were unaware they were being targeted again.

The first thing Madam Sheng did after waking from unconsciousness was to call the Qian Family, embellishing what Sheng Hong did to her and even urging the Qian Family to cease cooperation with the Sheng Family.

As the only daughter of the Qian couple, she was treasured like a gem even before marriage. Sometimes, even the son had to step aside. Now, hearing about the grievances their daughter suffered, the couple couldn’t tolerate it and immediately rushed over, urging their son to end all partnerships with the Sheng Family, demanding repayment of the previously loaned thirty billion through legal means.

The couple initially thought that punishing Sheng Hong like this would be enough, but seeing their daughter with her head wrapped in bandages, they nearly fainted. Mr. Qian was the first to recover, and upon seeing his daughter’s condition, he furiously struck his cane on the ground, saying, "It’s too easy on him, too easy. From now on, my Qian Family is irreconcilable with the Sheng Family. It’s either him or me, never both."

Mrs. Qian also came to her senses, her cloudy tears streaming down her wrinkled face, "Dear, we won’t live with such scum anymore. You’ve suffered enough over the years. We’ll get you divorced from that bastard right away, stay far away from him." She said tearfully while clutching Madam Sheng’s hand.

"Mom, don’t worry. This incident has opened my eyes. I won’t have any expectations for him in the future." Madam Sheng said, holding her mother’s hand.

"Does this mean you’ve finally realized? That you’ve decided to leave that scum?" President Qian, who had also rushed over after receiving the news, asked with some uncertainty, looking at the bandage-covered Madam Sheng in the hospital bed.
