"Second brother, we're about to go to a medical ship overseas for recuperation again. You don't seem to be working very hard lately."
In one video, a man of similar age to Liang Chenghu is seen drinking tea; he is Liang Chenghu's older brother, Liang Chengji.
The two were born to the same mother, within minutes of each other, so they look almost identical.
"And we also have to pay our membership fees next year, which is quite a lot. You need to think of a solution."
The two brothers have close ties with the overseas version of the Sacred Curtain and are top-tier members there, enjoying state-of-the-art medical pod treatment services.
However, the Sacred Curtain is a place that is said to be able to prolong life. After the replacement of aging organs, I have to go to the medical pod every year to recuperate in order to ensure that my body does not have any rejection.
The annual membership fees start at tens of figures, a sum that even ordinary families cannot afford. The Liang family is wealthy, but such large transactions within the family will surely be noticed by the family elders.
So most of these membership fees came from Liang Chenghu's shady businesses, but now that his businesses are suffering repeated losses, he is really annoyed.
"Brother, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce has been taken over, and my business has been affected. You'd better figure out how to pay the membership fee this time."
"I'll find a way?" Liang Chengji was furious. He suppressed his anger and said, "Although I am in charge of the Liang Group, the family's financial power is managed by the old man. Every penny must be accounted for."
“I can manage to move three or five hundred million, but what am I supposed to do with our two ten-figure membership fees?”
“Hehe, big brother, the old man is getting old, it’s time to relinquish some power.” Liang Chenghu said coldly, “I’ve said before that you are more cautious than ambitious. You have been in charge of Liang’s for so many years, and you have always been very careful and have not made any major mistakes. But it is precisely because of this that you are always controlled by others.”
"If I had been in charge of the Liang family in earlier years, things would definitely not be like this."
"Second brother, let's not say anything now. We're in the same boat now, we'll share the same fate." Liang Chengji was silent for a moment and then said, "I know you've endured too much these years, but let's get through this difficult time first. Next, I'll find a way to take control of the finances, and then you won't have to work so hard."
"Haha, my elder brother, do you finally realize how hard I've worked?" Liang Chenghu laughed angrily. "We are brothers. You are in charge of the Liang family in Jinling, high and mighty, while I am ignorant and incompetent, and have done all sorts of bad things."
“We are two siblings born of the same mother. We were only supposed to live for a short time in the womb, but we both survived. This is not because of God’s blessing, but because our mother used a folk remedy from a wandering Taoist priest to make pills from placenta so that we could live together.”
"However, everything in the world is predestined. We survived, but we also suffer from heart failure. If it weren't for the Holy Seas Museum replacing our heart, we would probably be a pile of ashes by now. How could you still be sitting in that high and mighty position in the Liang family?"
"Second brother, I know your suffering. Don't worry, once I've fully taken control, the Liang family business will be divided between the two of us." Liang Chengji sighed.
“Brother, don’t say such things anymore. You started making such promises ten years ago, and I believed you for ten years and waited for you for ten years. All you’ve given me in return is empty words,” Liang Chenghu said in a deep voice.
“You’ve played the good guy, and I’ll take the blame. I’m tired of this after all these years. Enough is enough. In a few months, we’ll all have to pay our membership fees.”
"Medical pod slots are always in high demand. If we can't get them, then we'll just have to wait to die together."
*Snap*... Liang Chenghu cut off the video call, stood up, and slammed his fist against the wall like an enraged lion.
Blood streamed down his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared, "You piece of trash... you piece of trash... you were only born a few minutes before me, so why do you have the right to wield power in the Liang family?"
"For more than ten years, even a pig could wield great power in the Liang family business for so many years."
"And you, you piece of trash, have been here for ten years and still haven't gotten your hands on the financial power. You piece of trash, you piece of trash, I should have killed you long ago."
Liang Chenghu roared and furiously punched a wall until his fists were covered in blood. Finally, he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his eyes glazed over.
The secret room was empty. Just then, the door creaked open and Shui Xin walked in.
Seeing Liang Chenghu's appearance, she was startled and instinctively wanted to turn around and walk away, but at this moment Liang Chenghu's cold gaze had already come over.
One look from the other party made Shui Xin feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She stood there frozen, not daring to move, for fear that any movement she made would anger Liang Chenghu.
Liang Chenghu was a capricious man who usually appeared confident and in control of his decisions.
But now he sits on the ground, his hair disheveled, his eyes bloodshot like a madman.
He absolutely would not allow anyone to see him like this; if this side of him were seen, the first thing he would do is kill the person who saw him.
Even if she was his most beloved woman, it was useless; all his previous women had died in the same way.
“Come here…” Liang Chenghu slowly stood up and beckoned to Shui Xin.
"Second Master..." Shui Xin looked pleading, knowing what she would face if she went there.
"I told you to come over." Liang Chenghu already had a gun in his hand. He clicked the bullet in the chamber and pointed it at Shui Xin by the door.
Shui Xin dared not resist any longer. She steeled herself and moved her feet slowly, walking gently to Liang Chenghu's side.
Liang Chenghu used the gun in his hand to lift her chin, and the cold barrel made Shui Xin feel cold all over.
"You are the woman I love most," Liang Chenghu murmured to himself. "Why is it you who came in today?"
"Second Master, I didn't mean to, I didn't see anything, please let me go." Shui Xin's delicate body trembled.
Her three-fold charm was ineffective against the extremely emotionally unstable Liang Chenghu; otherwise, she could still have protected herself.
But it's too late to say anything now; she shouldn't have stepped into this room in the first place.
"What am I in your eyes? A monster who likes to kill at the drop of a hat?" Liang Chenghu laughed.
"No, that's not how it is, Second Master, I..." Shui Xin didn't know how to answer for a moment. Liang Chenghu's gun, piercing through her clothes, slid down and then pressed against her inner thigh.
Shui Xin closed her eyes, the cold gun barrel making her tremble all over, and she barely managed to support her swaying body.
