“Mister Yu’s, do you two not feel that these terms are a little pushing it?” Pengzhan said with a deep voice.

“Pushing it? We’ve never heard a term like that in our House Yu’s dictionary!” Bide laughed as he slammed the table made of marble, splitting it into pieces and sending debris flying. Some of them even hit his face and cut it open!

Pengzhan stood there, his face, beaten. The Chu family were in trouble, yet there were no strategies prepared for this onslaught!

“The second demand I will promise you- I’ll give you all of Pengzhan Industries’ shares. The first one, however… Yao Yao cannot marry into your house!” Pengzhan said after some hesitation. The decision had to be made.

He could lose the company, but not his daughter! Marrying her off to House Yu as a mistress? He could only imagine the life of hardships waiting for her. He’d never break her future like that! She would be the one to choose who she wanted to marry, who was he to decide?

“You think House Yu would pull back something they’d said?” Haitian looked at him coldly. “You need to understand, Chu Pengzhan, that we’re not doing bargaining with you, we’re giving you options. Either your family dies, or you gift us your daughter! Make a choice!”

“You two are crossing the line!” Pengzhan gritted his teeth as his eyes shot fire at the men, his fists holding tight as he trembled…

“Crossing the line?” Bide only laughed mockingly. “That’s exactly what we’re doing! It doesn’t matter what you want to do. You can find fighters for hire if you want, but let’s see who’d dare on the challenge of fighting us House Yu. Don’t forget our background—the rules of the common world do not apply to the houses of the hidden world!”

“You…” Pengzhan’s chest throbbed with sudden pain as he clenched it, his breathing quickening. He didn’t expect a complete absence of discussion, that these people would just make demands and that’d be it! Pengzhan had already made the compromise, but they didn’t care!

“Right, wasn’t that bodyguard of your daughter’s- wasn’t he pretty damn tough? You don’t want to marry your daughter to us, fine, as long as he can do something then we’ll let her go!” Bide was worried that Pengzhan wouldn’t think of calling on Lin Yi’s background.

“…” Pengzhan was a little speechless. He didn’t understand what Yu Bide meant, and assumed that he knew that Lin Yi had lost his strength, and was now provoking him! Why else would they dare come to his door like this after Lin Yi had lost his strength?

“Think it over, we’ll give you two days! Only two days!” With that, Bide and Haitian left the office.

Seeing the two leave, Pengzhan lifelessly sat on the ground. He didn’t know what to do, and how to do it! House Chu was facing its toughest challenge, but who could he blame that on? Pengzhan had no options even if he regretted everything!

If it weren’t for him being the better man and taking it easy on Jin Gubang, he wouldn’t have developed his mindset and joined forces with Zhao Qibin, and the events today wouldn’t be taking place! Human greed was endless, especially when it came to people like Jin Gubang and Zhao Qibin. As long as their greed was stimulated, they would foster into an endless pit. Lin Yi’s appearance made them give up momentarily, but the disappearance of Lin Yi’s strength instantly invited these greedy men to his doorstep!

Not only was his own troubles overwhelming, but this had also given Lin Yi enemies! He wouldn’t need to hide back home otherwise! Even though not all of Lin Yi’s enemies were completely made because of Pengzhan, but if it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t even interact with them, let alone making enemies!

These two days, An Jianwen felt like his kidney was in pain, and he always peed blood. As a result, he went to the hospital to have it checked… And what ensued shocked him!

“Kid, where did you get this kidney? Your body’s rejecting it, and from the looks of it, it doesn’t match with your body at all! We need to perform surgery and remove it instantly!” The doctor said after the results came out.

“Wha?” Jianwen froze. “Not possible, the kidney is my own! Why would my body reject it?

“Your own? That can’t be right, your body obviously has signs of kidney surgery, and from the looks of it, this new kidney seems to be different from your other one…” The doctor couldn’t know that it was a dog’s kidney from just the checkup, only assuming that it was a little different from Jianwen’s own kidney.

After all, the difference between people’s kidneys was different, and some looked drastically different.

“I…” Jianwen couldn’t really explain the reason, after all, the doctor might call the police if he got suspicious!

“Kid, the kidney really isn’t a match, and your body’s reacting. Your life itself will be in danger if time goes on! I strongly advise surgery immediately.” The doctor said seriously.

“Alright, let me think about it!” Jianwen frowned. He’d barely managed to get his own kidney back, why would he cut it out for nothing?

Upon exiting the hospital, he gave Zhong PInliang a call.

Pinliang was currently celebrating with a big meal with Gao Xiaofu and made a gesture to Xiao Fu to quiet down as he picked the phone up. “Hello, Wen Bro, what’s up?”

“Old Pinliang Bro, something’s wrong!” Jianwen said. “This kidney, it’s not a match!”

“Not a match? How is that possible, isn’t that your own kidney?” Pinliang said as if it came as a shock. He grinned coldly to himself. Of course, the damn kidney wouldn’t match…unless Jianwen was a dog!

“It’s mine, yes, that’s why I’m confused! The doctor said it’s not a match after he had it checked!” Jianwen said. “He even told me to have it cut out!”

“Ah? Cut it out?” Pinliang froze on purpose, thinking that he himself had already gone through the surgery, so it was only natural for him to go through it as well. Otherwise, he could always choose the option of death! “No way, could it be that something went wrong with the checkup?”
