Chapter 72 It's Over [1 Update]
However, after the call was connected, there was no sound on the other end.
The guests all looked over with some surprise.
The head of the Wu family suppressed his impatience: "Hey? Don't you know I'm busy right now?"
"Call me back in three hours if it's anything."
A few days ago, he participated in a new energy development project, which is now in the preparation stage.
If the Wu family can successfully secure this project, their standing among the elite families in Beijing will undoubtedly rise significantly.
Perhaps this opportunity can also help establish connections with the Mu family and other prominent business families.
In this way, the Wu family will be able to leave other medium-sized families far behind.
Who's so blind as to bother us?
The head of the Wu family scoffed and was about to hang up the phone.
Finally, a sound came through the microphone, cold and clear.
"An hour later, all of the Wu family's properties were seized and placed under the supervision of the First Team."
With the hands-free mode on, the guests could hear everything clearly, leaving them somewhat bewildered.
The head of the Wu family was so shocked that he could barely sit still.
The words "One Team" struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving his mind blank.
What is the "One-Character Team"?
Long ago, large families formed the "One-Character Team" to discipline themselves and prevent their descendants from going astray.
The First Squad oversees all families, large and small, in the capital, rigorously investigating all illegal activities.
Even powerful families like the Nie and Mu families are subject to the constraints of the Yi Zi team.
For the first violation of the rules, Team One will issue a warning.
Only if the situation becomes serious will the entire family be shut down.
The last time something like this happened was five years ago.
The high society circle has been peaceful in recent years, to the point that they have almost forgotten about the existence of the "One-Character Team".
"It's a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding." Cold sweat beaded on the Wu family patriarch's forehead. He spoke in a humble tone, forcing a smile, "The Wu family has always acted cautiously, why would they want to seize our assets?"
"Your Wu family embezzled and accepted bribes totaling 300 million yuan, illegally employed child laborers, and you still claim it's a misunderstanding? Just wait and see."
The phone call ended, and the lobby fell into a deathly silence.
The guests exchanged glances, understood the general situation, and got up to take their leave.
"Old Wu, I have something to do, I'll be going now."
"Me too, my head hurts a bit, I need to go to the hospital..."
With the "One Team" mobilized, who would dare to associate with the Wu family again?
The head of the Wu family slumped onto the stool, his whole body soaked in sweat.
Just then, another number came in on my phone.
"Big brother! Big brother, save me!" came the panicked voice on the other end. "The One-Character Team is saying I'm maliciously obstructing the trial and they're going to arrest me!"
"Big brother, you must have a way, right? Quickly get the family to get me out of here, those guys from the First Squad..."
The Wu family patriarch could no longer hear what was said after that; his ears were ringing.
My mind was completely blank, with only two words remaining.
It's over.
The Wu family is finished.

In the corridor.
Nie Yi stood by the window, a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn't smoke it.
"Boss, we've found out. The airport incident and the car accident were both done by the Wu family. The brothers have already been dispatched."
"You wouldn't believe it until you investigate! The Wu family still has the nerve to claim it's a misunderstanding. Don't worry, boss, we'll be quick and you'll be satisfied."
"Hmm." Nie Yi's expression was indifferent, his voice cold. "Follow the rules."
After the call ended, he lightly flicked the ash from his cigarette, put the butt in the ashtray, and then turned to leave.
Inside the courtroom, the people listening to the trial finally recovered from their shock and began whispering among themselves.
Ying Luwei also learned about what happened in the capital from that wealthy socialite.
"Luwei, you're overthinking it. Who in Shanghai would warrant the Nie family making a special trip? It's just a coincidence."
"You don't know, the Wu family got into trouble, which alarmed the First Squad, and their entire family business was seized."
"It is said that they also tampered with the court hearing you mentioned. The Nie family only came because of the Yizi team, and it really has little to do with that adopted daughter you mentioned."
"Let me be blunt, does she deserve for the Nie family to come for her?"
The Nie family is a top-tier family in the capital, far surpassing the four major wealthy families in Shanghai.
Let alone an adopted daughter, no other rich young master is worthy of her.
Ying Luwei breathed a sigh of relief, while secretly laughing at her for being too paranoid.
Come to think of it, Ying Zijing has no power or influence in Shanghai, let alone any connection with people in the capital.
It was simply because the Wu family had run into a brick wall.
But this time, she truly lost face.
Ying Luwei hung up the phone and looked at Lu Zhi: "Has your teacher not sent any news?"
"No." Lu Zhi shook her head. "My teacher will come to Shanghai in a few days to examine the old lady."
Ying Luwei smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
She was definitely overthinking it.
Ying Luwei's expression turned cold. She stood up and walked straight towards the girl.
The live stream has now ended, so she no longer needs to worry about being recognized.
The trial lasted thirty minutes, and Ying Zijing had been asleep for that long.
She wiped her hands with a tissue and prepared to leave to go to Shaoren Hospital for a checkup.
Seeing this, Ying Luwei quickly stepped forward and blocked the way.
Ying Zijing raised her eyes slightly, her expression indifferent.
"Xiao Jin, you're quite lucky to have the Nie family of the capital do you a favor," Ying Luwei smiled. "But I wonder if you'll ever have such good luck again."
She lowered her voice, her words carrying a pointed threat: "It's not too late for you to apologize to your aunt now, otherwise, how will you survive in Shanghai?"
However, the girl's expression remained unchanged.
Ying Luwei raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then smiled and said, "Xiao Jin, don't blame your aunt for not reminding you. Fu Yunshen is a playboy. His situation in the Fu family is not much better than your situation in the Ying family."
As she spoke, she tightened her mask.
Her facial injury hadn't healed yet, and she was quite afraid her mask would fall off.
Ying Zijing glanced at her, put her hands in her pockets, and said, "Three seconds."
Ying Luwei was taken aback: "What did you say?"
He's acting strangely and is mentally unstable.
Seeing that the girl refused to listen to reason and had to suffer the consequences, she lost interest in teaching the younger generation any further and picked up her bag to leave.
But three seconds passed.
A basket of eggs came flying towards Ying Luwei, smashing down on her and washing off her mask.
