Chapter 222 It's possible to save him, but alas, I don't want to.

Pei Jinwu: [Where are the rest of the Wen family?]

Lou Ying: [Old Master Wen is incompetent, and who knows how many troubles the Second Young Master Wen caused back then? And Wen Yuan, you know… she's mentally ill.]

As for Wen Ting, his early return after finishing six months of studies is definitely suspicious.

Is it a ghost?

Pei Jinwu pondered the two words carefully, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Suddenly offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.

What could Jianjian possibly have that would make him care?

Sibling affection?

Judging from his appearance, he's definitely not a good person.

What else is there besides that?

——

Above the clouds.

Pei Jinwu sat cross-legged in front of the computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

They quickly determined the nature of Old Master Wen's illness.

Eighteen years ago, he suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, which resulted in hemiplegia and severely affected his mobility and speech.

Although he has been recuperating and receiving treatment for the past few years, he has only been barely clinging to life.

"..."

Pei Jinwu closed her laptop, got up, and walked out.

As he passed by Wang Ma, he deliberately left a message: "I have something to take care of. Please tell Shang Shiyan that I will be back soon."

"Pei Xiao—"

Before Wang Ma could ask any questions, Pei Jinwu's figure had already disappeared from sight.

Not long after.

Shang Shiyan, who had just finished showering and was wearing his pajamas, asked in confusion, "Where did Wuwu go?"

"Miss Pei, she..."

Following Pei Jinwu's instructions, Wang Ma respectfully replied, "I didn't have time to ask where she's going. But Miss Pei seems to be in a hurry."

"urgent?"

Shang Shiyan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately picked up his phone and dialed Pei Jinwu's number.

"The hospital," Pei Jinwu replied, riding his motorcycle and wearing headphones. "To find Old Master Wen and find out something."

The Wen family?

Shang Shiyan guessed that she might be about to start dealing with the Wen family's affairs.

"I'll be back soon."

Pei Jinwu gave a brief reply and hung up the phone.

"..."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Shang Shiyan frowned slightly, changed his clothes, grabbed his car keys, and went out.

——

Imperial Capital Hospital.

After parking the car, Pei Jinwu walked straight to the inpatient department.

Find the room number accurately and push the door open to enter.

The Wen family is wealthy.

We found a private room for Mr. Wen.

exactly.

There was no one in the ward except for Old Master Wen lying in the hospital bed.

His face was deeply lined with wrinkles, and the long period of bed rest and drug treatment had made him look exceptionally haggard.

"..."

Hearing the noise, the ashen-faced old man Wen turned his head with difficulty, his cloudy gaze falling on Pei Jinwu's face.

"you--"

He was wearing a ventilator, making a whooshing sound from his throat, and his eyes showed confusion.

"I am Wen Jianjian's cousin."

Pei Jinwu casually pulled up a chair and sat down, crossing her long legs naturally, and spoke nonchalantly.

Wen Jianjian?

Upon hearing these three words, Old Master Wen's pupils dilated suddenly, and his emotions fluctuated.

"I'm here today just to learn something."

Pei Jinwu's face remained expressionless, her tone chillingly cold, "Are you aware that Wen Yuan has been bullying Wen Jianjian at school?"

"..."

Grandpa Wen blinked but didn't shake his head.

"Second question," Pei Jinwu asked with a cold smile, "Are you aware that Wen Ting approached Wen Jianjian repeatedly after returning to the country?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen's eyes immediately sharpened, revealing a mixture of doubt and shock.

It seems so.

He didn't know.

“Wen Jianjian’s father severed ties with the Wen family eighteen years ago. In recent years, she and her mother have had no contact with the Wen family.”

Pei Jinwu rested her fingertips on the table, twirling her toes as she tapped the table lightly, her voice chillingly cold: "Why is Wen Ting, contrary to his usual behavior, constantly getting closer to Wen Jianjian?"

"..."

Grandpa Wen listened attentively, his eyes darting around.

“I guess…” Pei Jinwu curled her lips, her voice languid, “It must be that she has something Wen Ting wants on her.”

"..."

Grandpa Wen stared intently at Pei Jinwu, trying to speak.

But he found that he couldn't utter a single word.

"What is it?" Pei Jinwu blinked, stood up, put her hands in her pockets, looked down at the old man, and said slowly, "Your will!"

This is not a question; it is an affirmative statement.

Besides the inheritance left to Wen Jianjian by the old man, it's probably quite a lot.

Otherwise, how could a villain like Wen Ting make a move?

Grandpa Wen's eyes were filled with tears.

Tsk.

It seems she was right.

"Actually, you already knew that Young Master Wen was innocent."

Pei Jinwu didn't bother to look at his sad appearance, and every word she said was like a dagger to his heart, "But when it comes to your son and the prosperity of the family, you value the family more."

"So, you forced him into an arranged marriage, forced him to separate from the woman he loved, and even forced him to declare to the world that his daughter was a bastard..."

Pei Jinwu gave a cold laugh and said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, you didn't expect that Young Master Wen is a real man. He would rather give up his billions in assets than not choose his wife and daughter."

"..."

Old Master Wen was forced to listen; his long-standing wounds were reopened, and he couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"Now that you are seriously ill, you have suddenly been overcome with kindness and have decided to make amends to the mother and daughter..."

Pei Jinwu paused for two seconds, then offered another conjecture: "I heard that Wen Ting has been searching everywhere for the Divine Physician Jiuye, hoping to cure your illness."

"..."

Grandpa Wen stared at Pei Jinwu, wondering what else she might guess.

Despite being only a teenager, she exuded an aura of immense power and intimidation.

Jianjian's cousin?

That shameless woman's family has someone like this in their household?!

"Your condition..." Pei Jinwu smiled, her voice light and casual, "If you had sought treatment earlier, you would have recovered long ago. The reason you waited until now to find a miracle doctor is simply because you know that other people were added to your will."

"They don't want you to die."

At this point, Pei Jinwu hesitated for a few seconds before slowly adding, "No, it's because I don't want you to die so soon."

"Back then, the affair between Young Master Wen and Miss Xu was all over the place. Your youngest son probably played a significant role in that."

If I'm not mistaken.

One clause in the will will is always that it takes effect immediately upon death.

Wen Ting approached Wen Jianjian with the intention of bringing her back to the Wen family.

Only by returning to the Wen family will her property become theirs.

so.

They wouldn't let Old Master Wen die until Wen Jianjian's situation was resolved.

hehe.

A family of beasts.

"..."

Old Master Wen seemed to have guessed what his wayward son was planning, and his face was filled with despair.

"Don't worry." After saying all that, Pei Jinwu's gaze returned to Old Master Wen, and she said coldly, word by word:

"I will give them, mother and daughter, justice, and..."

“I will get back what the Wen family owes them.”

"Just watch how I make the Wen family and those idiots pay the price."

"Oh, right."

Before leaving, Pei Jinwu said one last thing: "I am the Divine Physician Jiuye, and your illness can indeed be cured."

"But--"

The girl curled her lips into a mocking smile: "I don't want to save you!"
