Wen Haotian was rendered speechless. This was indeed a fact; he really couldn't come up with any more money.
The bodyguard, seeing this, probably understood what was going on. He looked at Wen Haotian for a while, then turned around and left. "Hey..." Wen Haotian wanted to try to keep him, but the man had already resolutely walked out of the office.
"Fine... If you won't help me look, I'll look for it myself!" They were all a bunch of money - grubbing wretches. When he had money, they all clung to him. Now that he was bankrupt, they all kept as far away from him as possible. This was just how people were, huh!
Wen Haotian slumped back into his chair. His current appearance was reflected in the black computer screen. His tie was askew, his hair was in a mess, and his beard was unkempt. If this look were seen by others, no one would believe that he was the boss of the Wen Group.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. Wen Haotian frowned and pressed his hand against his abdominal area. This damaged liver of his had been hurting more and more frequently recently. Was it about to fail?
After sitting for a while, the pain in his abdomen became more and more obvious. His hand pressing on his lower abdomen trembled involuntarily due to the pain. Just as Wen Haotian was about to reach into the drawer for his medicine, the phone on the table suddenly rang. It was a number he didn't recognize. Wen Haotian's expression showed impatience. He ignored the call and directly hung up.
He took out the medicine bottle and put it on the table. Wen Haotian was about to get up to pour himself a glass of water, but as soon as he stood up, the phone on the table rang again. It was still the same number.
Was it a scam?
Wen Haotian was already in a bad mood, and now this idiot was calling him. It was just adding fuel to the fire! Wen Haotian picked up the phone. "Who is it? If you call again, I'll call the police!"
"Mr. Wen, this is Dongrui Bank. Your credit card limit has been exceeded. We hope you can pay it off quickly to avoid affecting your credit rating..." Even though Wen Haotian had shouted at her, the voice on the other end of the phone remained calm. She must have encountered many such customers.
Dongrui Bank... Wen Haotian was silent for a while before he remembered that because of the compensation he had paid to the Winchesters, several of his credit cards had maxed out. He had originally planned to take some money from the company's account to pay off the cards, but he hadn't expected that the company was in the red and he couldn't get a single cent.
This was why the bank was calling to urge him to repay the debt... "I see." One thing wasn't over yet, and another thing came up. When would this end!
"Mr. Wen, I've heard that your company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Can you afford to pay back the money?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.
"Humph, don't bother your bank to worry. My company is doing just fine!" Wen Haotian said through gritted teeth. Now even a small bank clerk was starting to look down on him.
"That's good. If you can't make the repayment on time, the bank will sue you..."
Wen Haotian was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. He just hung up the phone. The annoyance in his heart kept rising, making the pain in his abdomen even worse. "Hiss..." He gasped and supported his abdomen as he walked to the water dispenser. He filled a glass of water for himself, then slowly dragged his body back to the chair and sat down. He took out two pills with trembling hands and swallowed them with the water.
After a while, the pain gradually subsided, but Wen Haotian was already sweating profusely from the pain. His physical condition was getting worse and worse.

Shengshi Company
Ian was sending some files to someone. When he turned around, he bumped into Su Rou head - on. Coincidentally, Su Rou accidentally kicked Ian's injured leg.
"Ow—" Ian's tall body bent down in pain.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Su Rou didn't expect him to turn around suddenly. She had just wanted to say that she would go up with him to find Su Yuze.
Ian gasped. "Hiss... It hurts so much."
Without saying a word, Su Rou squatted down to check Ian's injury. Seeing this, Ian immediately straightened up. "I'm okay... Um, could you accompany me to the nearby hospital?"
Su Rou was pulled up by him, but she still looked worriedly at his injured leg. "Oh, okay."
Supporting Ian, Su Rou took him to a small nearby hospital. She called over a doctor. "Doctor, please take a look at his leg."
The doctor in a white coat walked over and examined Ian's leg injury. "It's a gunshot wound."
"Yeah."
"The wound has healed quite well. Why is it a bit swollen..."
"I accidentally kicked it." Su Rou said beside them.
"It's nothing serious. I'll go and get some medicine for you to apply."
"Thank you, doctor."
Su Rou sat on a chair beside, while Ian leaned on the bed and looked at her. When Su Rou turned her head, she saw Ian's strange - looking eyes. "Do you have something to say to me?"
Ian nodded. "Actually, I've always been curious. Why did you live in Wen Haotian's house before?"
"Huh? Didn't Brother Ze tell you? He's my father." She had thought Su Yuze had already told Ian.
"Ah?" Oh, this was really big news! "I didn't know. The CEO didn't say anything." He also thought something was wrong after the fact. If he asked the CEO, he definitely wouldn't tell him. "But I was still going against Wen Haotian... Something's not right. He has the surname Wen, and you have the surname Su?"
This didn't seem like a father - daughter relationship at all. And there had never been any news that the Wen family had a second daughter. "What on earth happened?" Ian asked curiously.
"Well... It's rather complicated." This was not easy to explain. "By the way, did you deliberately get me to bring you to the hospital because of this?"
Ian let out a couple of "heh - heh" laughs. "Sort of."
"..." Su Rou rolled her eyes at him.
"Actually, I have another question." Ian said hesitantly.
"What?"
Ian raised his eyebrows. "I've noticed that you and the CEO have the same surname, and you call him 'brother'. Are you two..."
Su Rou glanced at him and then smiled. "You want to know?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"I'm not telling you."
"..." Ian was stunned for a moment. "I won't tell anyone else."
"Ian, why are you, a grown man, more gossipy than a woman?"
Ian was a bit helpless. He was just curious, not gossipy! He had specifically tricked Su Rou here to figure this out. "Miss Su Rou, please satisfy my curiosity."
Su Rou shook her finger. "No."
