Chapter 244 Wu Family Crisis 4
Wu Tao had long anticipated that Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan would eventually find the old man.
He is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Since the old man gave the original owner a bit of love back then, he would not let the old man ruin his reputation in his later years.
Before making any move against the Wu family, Wu Tao went to find the old man first.
This includes appointing his eldest uncle, Wu Chengjue, as the head of the new Wu family enterprise, as well as giving shares in the new enterprise to several other uncles and aunts.
Although the new Wu family may only have 500 million in assets, the cooperation with several other major families could allow the new Wu family to instantly reach a new level.
To put it bluntly, with contracts from several powerful families, the New Wu family could quickly become a listed company with a market value of several billion.
Suddenly, the Wu family business multiplied several times over, and those who were once considered peripheral members of the Wu family became the main players, so naturally they wouldn't object.
Even the old man knew that this matter would be entirely beneficial to the Wu family.
As for the second son's family, they are not in any danger; at most, they will suffer some hardship in the future.
As for what will happen to Wu Xiaochuan, and what its relationship is with the Wu family.
The old man was ruthless; it was all because his second son's family was blind and couldn't see who the real dragon was. Now, everyone in Wu Tao's upper circle wants to curry favor with him, yet he's been thoroughly offended by his second son's family.
Anyway, both sons are his flesh and blood, and the new Wu family is much better than before, so he has no choice but to abandon his second son's family.
The old man understood very well that Wu Tao even harbored resentment towards his own parents, and was willing to spend 500 million to bankrupt the Wu family.
This shows that he truly resents his parents. If he doesn't agree, he might lose all the affection he has built up with them.
Abandoning the second son's family would allow the Wu family to prosper. At the same time, it would ensure that Wu Tao, the true dragon, would continue to maintain goodwill towards the Wu family. Everyone knows how to choose in this deal.
After leaving the old man's place, Wu Chengzhi and Liu Lan had no choice but to save themselves.
As soon as Wu Chengzhi got home, he received a call from his secretary.
"Mr. Wu, Young Master Xiao Chuan embezzled 100 million yuan from the company and transferred it to a company overseas. By the way, the CFO just contacted him, but Young Master Xiao Chuan's phone is switched off."
Wu Chengzhi's forehead veins bulged. He never dreamed that Wu Xiaochuan, whom he had always trusted, would dare to abscond with the money when the Wu family was in crisis.
The secretary's statement that the phone was switched off actually meant that Wu Xiaochuan had gone missing. Further contact revealed that he had embezzled 100 million yuan in cash, which clearly indicates he had absconded with the funds.
Liu Lan overheard the secretary's phone conversation, and her already dazed expression completely crumbled.
Good heavens, what did they do? They abandoned their own capable son, but forced an ingrate to run away from home for him.
Wu Lingling also rushed back from outside at this time. She had been arguing with her parents recently.
Wu Lingling always felt that her parents were getting senile. Wu Xiaochuan was so kind, sensible, and capable, but her parents were picky about him just because he wasn't their biological son.
You have to understand that Wu Xiaochuan was raised by them for over twenty years. Are they really going to abandon all that affection just because they are not related by blood?
Wu Lingling would never do that; she wanted to show her parents through her attitude that she only had one younger brother, Wu Xiaochuan.
As for Wu Tao, that country bumpkin, he has nothing to do with her.
In particular, upon hearing that the Wu family business was now in crisis and that it was that country bumpkin retaliating against the Wu family, Wu Lingling rushed back from the law firm.
When Wu Lingling left, she didn't see the strange looks she received from the law firm's partners.
After she left, the partners held a meeting, and after a brief discussion, they decided to dismiss Wu Lingling.
It's because Wu Lingling offended people with too many powerful backers.
They claim to be an independent law firm, but in reality, they have a complex network of relationships behind them.
Wu Lingling staying would not benefit the law firm in the slightest, and as for so-called elites, the law firm has no shortage of them.
People used to praise Wu Lingling because of the Wu family's reputation. In reality, any intern could have done the same things she could.
No sooner had Wu Lingling left than a resignation letter was placed on her desk.
Wu Lingling's assistant had already received the news and simply replaced her with a new boss; she didn't bother to inform Wu Lingling.
Wu Lingling used to be a ruthless person at work, and she treated her assistants very badly.
The assistant had no choice in the past, but secretly hoped Wu Lingling would suffer. Now that Wu Lingling has finally gotten into trouble, it's already kind of her not to kick her while she's down.
Wu Lingling was unaware of all this. She only returned after receiving news that Wu Tao was taking revenge on the Wu family, intending to personally prove just how despicable this country bumpkin Wu Tao really was.
This will also show her parents how wise it was for her to choose to support Wu Xiaochuan.
Wu Lingling even hoped to see her parents cry tears of regret for their ignorance.
When Wu Lingling got home, she immediately shouted...
"Mom and Dad, what did I say back then? Xiao Chuan is the outstanding successor you've been raising."
As for Wu Tao, that country bumpkin, we shouldn't have let him come back. And look what happened? This country bumpkin dared to retaliate against our family! Shouldn't you apologize to Xiao Chuan and me?
As Wu Lingling spoke, she gave her parents an expression that seemed to say, "You'd better apologize quickly before I'll consider forgiving you."
She rushed home as soon as she received the news.
On the way there, she kept fantasizing about her parents apologizing; she had already had a mental orgasm.
I didn't even notice how dark my parents' faces were.
"Slap, slap"
After two crisp sounds, Wu Lingling covered her face in disbelief.
"Dad, are you crazy? Wu Tao is retaliating against you, and you actually hit me! Are you still protecting that country bumpkin?"
Wu Chengzhi was so angry that he couldn't speak. He already had high blood pressure, and now he was seeing stars.
"Honey, don't scare me! Lingling, stop talking! Quickly go inside and get the medicine!"
Seeing Wu Chengzhi looking unsteady, Liu Lan quickly nudged the dazed Wu Lingling.
Wu Lingling was pushed by Liu Lan and came to her senses. Although she was still very aggrieved, she did not want to see her father get into trouble.
Wu Lingling hurriedly ran to her parents' bedroom, grabbed the medicine from the bedside table, and then ran downstairs.
Liu Lan and Wu Lingling served Wu Chengzhi his medicine. By this time, Wu Lingling already knew that Wu Xiaochuan had absconded with the money.
She anxiously dialed Wu Xiaochuan's number while shaking her head in disbelief.
Wu Lingling made dozens of calls, but the cold notification tone told her that Wu Xiaochuan had really run away.
Even the phone number is no longer in service; it's clear that the phone number has been directly cancelled.
Even if Wu Lingling didn't want to admit it, she knew that her smart, obedient, and sensible younger brother had truly betrayed the family.
The thought that she had targeted her own brother multiple times because of such an ungrateful wretch is unbearable.
In the end, they forced their younger brother to launch an attack on the Wu family, while the ungrateful wretch they had treated as family simply absconded with the money.
After taking the medicine, Wu Chengzhi's condition improved, but he now looked ten years older. The Wu family's situation was already precarious, and Wu Xiaochuan's last-minute attack completely extinguished their last hope.
Now that Wu Xiaochuan has taken away the last of the Wu family's working capital, the Wu family will go bankrupt even if no one targets them.
This money was originally obtained by Wu Chengzhi through a mortgage loan, which was used to pay for the construction costs and wages of several projects.
