Facing the reporters' persistent questions, Wu Zhen stepped back repeatedly while perfunctorily saying, "I was deceived and wrongly blamed the divine doctor. Deep down, I'm still very grateful to the divine doctor."
Hearing this, Old Master Wu on the bed closed his eyes painfully, not wanting to look at them anymore.
"Everyone, go out for interviews. The patient needs rest."
No one dared to disobey Shi Wan's words. They tugged at each other, and finally formed a circle to drag away the Wu family members and Chen Wang, who was still in a daze.
"Grandpa Wu."
After closing the door, Shi Wan looked at the old man on the bed, hoping for his stance.
"Let it go. After all, he's my child. But from now on, I'll be more vigilant."
It was almost like severing the relationship.
He just didn't say it out loud.
He never expected that his own child would try to harm him.
Shi Wan lowered her eyes, roughly guessing the reason.
"Since everything's okay, I'll leave first."
"Miss Shi, thank you for your help these times."
"It's okay. Be more careful in the future."
He had paved a smooth path for his descendants with his own blood, yet he almost died at the hands of his own descendant.
"Wanwan, you're now..."
"Shi Wan!"
"What's the matter, Mrs. Wu?"
Looking at the woman striding towards her menacingly, Shi Wan remained calm.
"You!" Thinking of what had just happened, Mrs. Wu didn't care that the old master was there. She reached out to grab Shi Wan.
"Come here with me!"
"I don't think we have anything to talk about."
Shi Wan casually brushed off her hand and took a step back.
"How much money do you want? We'll satisfy you. Just clarify what happened today!"
"Isn't the matter clear enough?"
"Lin Fang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Old Master Wu roared. "What on earth do you want to do? Didn't Wanwan explain clearly enough? Have your whole family lost your consciences?"
Old Master Wu didn't know how he got injured. Shi Wan and the other person had been keeping it from him. But he guessed it must have something to do with this family!
"This is our family's business."
"You!"
"You said you'd give whatever amount of money I want?" Shi Wan soothed Old Master Wu and raised her eyebrows. "I want the entire Wu family."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Before Lin Fang could react, Wu Zhen rushed over and happened to hear Shi Wan's words. He couldn't hold back on the spot.
And there was a large group of reporters following behind him.
"Everyone, today's incident was just a misunderstanding. Thank you for coming. The Wu family will not neglect the proper courtesy later. Please don't casually publish any remarks about today's incident. Otherwise, the Wu family will definitely hold you accountable!"
Wu Zhen knew the matter couldn't be hidden. If he didn't appease these reporters, who knew what they would write after leaving.
After a round of coercion and inducement, the reporters looked at each other. Wu Zhen thought he had intimidated them, and his complexion improved a bit.
"Shi Wan, we'll give you some money. Don't interfere in the Wu family's affairs anymore."
"Who are you insulting?" Old Master Wu's hot temper flared up. "Give some money? Leaving aside Wanwan's identity, even if I'm gone, I'm still a hundred times more noble than your Wu family!"
Hetui!
Trying to insult someone with money?
Even ten Wu families were not enough!
"Uncle Nian!" Wu Zhen's face darkened. "As an elder, how could you say such irresponsible words? Moreover, my father is your good friend. Are you siding with an outsider and scolding us?"
He had hoped to get on good terms with the Nian family, but he didn't expect the old man to be so stubborn in protecting Shi Wan.
No matter what, he couldn't let today's incident spread.
"I'm telling you to go to hell! I don't have such a despicable and shameless descendant like you!"
Wu Zhen was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he was helpless against Old Master Nian.
"Shi Wan, I'll give you one minute to think! Do you want money or your life?"
"What's all the commotion about?"
The sudden voice sounded extremely out of place in the tense atmosphere.
Wu Zhen was startled. He was about to scold the person but became obsequious when he saw who it was.
"So it's the president of SKY. What an honor."
"Mr. Wu, you..."
Jiang Yi was about to say something when she saw the person not far away. The words on her lips stopped abruptly, and she excitedly walked towards Shi Wan.
"You, why are you here?"
Wu Zhen thought it was because of Shi Wan's identity as a divine doctor. He disdainfully said, "President Jiang, she's just a money - grabbing swindler. Why are you so respectful to her?"
He knew that Jiang Yi's younger brother was also hospitalized here, so it was normal for them to meet.
But her attention to Shi Wan annoyed him.
"A swindler? Money - grabbing?" Jiang Yi looked at her in disbelief. "Are you short of money?"
Shi Wan smiled slightly. "Sort of."
"How much do you need?"
"President Jiang, she's just a swindler. She even tried to extort money from me just now."
Wu Zhen didn't care about the others and shifted the blame.
"Wu Zhen, you shameless scoundrel!"
"Grandpa Nian..."
"Extort you?" A look of disdain flashed across Jiang Yi's face. "You? The Wu family? Come on. Even if our respected boss of SKY is short of money, she would never stoop to asking for money from a small Wu family!"
"Boss... Boss?!"
Wu Zhen staggered and almost lost his balance!
Did he hear wrong?
Not only him, but everyone present looked shocked!
"Did I hear correctly? The boss of SKY is Miss Shi Wan? Is that what you mean?"
"Damn it! If that's really the case, what is the Wu family?"
"Still trying to throw money at others. Got slapped in the face, didn't you?"
"..."
"President Jiang, even if you want to help her, you don't have to joke with me like this, do you?"
Wu Zhen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, hoping it was just a joke.
"Who's joking with you?" Jiang Yi snorted. "Our boss has been keeping a low profile and hasn't shown up for years. It's normal that you don't know. You said our boss extorted you? Does our boss need to?"
"No..."
Wu Zhen's legs went weak from fear. Hearing Jiang Yi's words, he had to believe what he had been reluctant to believe.
Even a fraction of SKY Group was worth more than ten Wu families.
Who would have thought that the mysterious boss of SKY Group was such an unassuming young girl?
"Boss..."
The reporters quickly pressed the shutter buttons, wishing they could record this scene word for word!
"Disperse them all. Don't let a single word about today's incident spread."
"Understood!"
Jiang Yi dismissed the reporters. Looking at the Wu family members who were still in a daze, she only felt it was ridiculous.
Although the reporters were not satisfied, knowing Shi Wan's identity and the warning, they had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
"Boss, do we still need to send the documents over?"
Jiang Yi asked hesitantly.
