Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 831 - 533 What are they doing

The Feng Family members all felt: This child really isn’t very bright!

He always looks so slow-witted, you have no clue about the proper decorum!

What have been the second son and his wife teaching their child all this time?

At this moment, Feng Family’s second son and his wife were also holding their breath, glaring at their youngest son.

Is this the only thing you remembered from what we just taught you?

You didn’t remember a single other line?!

But with everyone watching and the phone still on the line, they really couldn’t say anything and had to bite their tongues for now.

Meanwhile, Feng Chi, who was tucked away in the corner, glanced at Feng Jing several times.

Where is he dumb?

This is pretty clever, actually.

No matter what the second son and his wife had taught him just now, there was no doubt that Feng Jing had chosen the most appropriate line to say.

Is my brother someone who can be easily fooled? He could flip a truck on you!

Playing pitiful and trying to curry favor are useless, after all, there’s not much affection between them, how many times have they even seen each other since birth?

With all the complex relationships in the Feng Family, no amount of talking would trick anyone, better to just tell the truth.

In the hospital room, a silence ensued.

With the phone on speaker, everyone waited for a response from the other end.

After a pause, Feng Yi’s voice sounded from the other side

"If Old Man Feng’s mood is stable, I’ll visit the hospital tomorrow."

The call ended.

Feng Jing holding the phone looked up: "He said he will come over tomorrow."

The Feng Family members: We heard that!

Anyone with ears could have heard it, no need for you to repeat it!

And yet they were puzzled at the same time.

Feng Yi actually agreed so easily?

If they had known earlier...

Regretting the loss of a building, while feeling frustrated, they pondered, what will happen when Feng Yi arrives tomorrow?

What exactly is Old Man Feng planning by calling Feng Yi over at this time?

Elsewhere, at the headquarters of the Ancestral Factory.

After Feng Yi hung up the phone, he sat in contemplation for a moment before starting to pack his things.

Although he was unaware of the situation inside the hospital room, he was well-informed about the movements of the Feng Family members.

It seemed Old Man Feng had learned about Schroeder’s fate, which must have been a heavy blow.

At that moment, Yue Gongyang came over.

Old Yuan’s call to Yue Gongyang that day wasn’t entirely a pretext; there really was a difficult problem that needed the Ancestral Factory’s help to solve.

The people poisoned by the faulty drug could be treated for mild symptoms in hospitals all over, but those with more severe poisoning had to be sent to hospitals under the Ancestral Factory, and treated with special medication.

Of course, the treatment costs would be reimbursed, so the Ancestral Factory wouldn’t be out of pocket.

And that was what Yue Gongyang was busy with.

"How are things going at the hospital?" Feng Yi asked.

"It’s manageable, we can handle it."

Seeing Feng Yi packing, Yue Gongyang said, "Preparing to go back?"

"Yeah, I just received an interesting call."

Feng Yi shared the recent situation with him. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Yue Gongyang was very curious.

Though he didn’t know how long Old Man Feng and Schroeder across the ocean had been in cahoots, there was clear evidence proving Old Man Feng’s financial support for Schroeder.

"The investors behind Schroeder, each of them poured in a lot of money. Those sorts of research projects can’t move forward with just a little cash."

Yue Gongyang analyzed.

"The Feng Family is unaware, but Old Man Feng has a vast wealth invested elsewhere, out of their reach...

"No, they probably didn’t know before, but by now, after so many years and as Old Man Feng has gradually delegated authority due to his advancing age, there must be some astute people who have noticed. With Old Man Feng’s money bag involved in such huge interests, they should have the necessary sharpness!"

Yue Gongyang looked at Feng Yi: "I’m a bit curious, how many of those lingering in the hospital are eyeing that portion of the assets?"

Feng Yi laughed: "No matter how many people there are, I’m afraid the reality will disappoint them."

Old Man Feng didn’t trust the Ancestral Factory, even going so far as to be wary, hence his substantial investment in others.

This, to Feng Yi, came as no surprise.

Old Man Feng was a tough man, and the man he chose to invest in, Schroeder, was equally tough.

Yue Gongyang said, "Schroeder was researching a drug that would give people greater vitality, akin to a return to youth."

Feng Yi realized, "So, Old Man Feng could remain calm even when Schroeder Pharmaceuticals exploded, but Schroeder’s failure to escape means Old Man Feng’s hopes are also dashed."

After the night raid, Feng Yi did not immediately seek out Old Man Feng but went directly to dismantle Schroeder’s stronghold instead.

For Old Man Feng, it was the equivalent of pulling the rug out from under his feet!

Stripping away Old Man Feng’s hope for a youthful return outright!

After all those years of hard work, his greatest and most prized investment totally failed, and both his money and aspirations vanished into thin air. No wonder the shock had been enough to make him faint.

Yue Gongyang said, "He’s summoning you now, does he expect you to provide the Ancestral Factory’s drugs? Given his condition, our currently researched top-tier medicines could indeed let Old Man Feng hold on a bit longer."

Yue Gongyang thought to himself: But it’s such a waste to use them on that old man!

Those medicines are extremely limited in quantity due to the difficulty of production, and so many people are queuing up for them!

"Perhaps," Feng Yi said.

He looked out the window.

Old Man Feng went to great lengths to summon him at this time, possibly for the medicines, but more likely, for something else.

Yue Gengyang nodded and offered Feng Yi advice, "Since you’ve decided to go, you should prepare well, and you don’t need to quibble over some superficial matters at this time.

"Later, when you formally call Old Man Feng’s secretary to schedule a time, follow the normal procedure for visiting the sick.

"It’s not good to go to the hospital to visit a patient empty-handed, just buy a nicely packaged flower basket or fruit basket as a courtesy, to avoid criticism."

There is still no direct evidence for many things, and one must not be too unsightly in public.

"We are people who do big things, and when we make a move, it is decisive. There’s no need to fuss over such small matters," Yue Gengyang continued.

"Just pick a store near the hospital, one of the bigger, reputable ones, and buy something pre-packaged. Try not to let anyone else handle it. Hmm, even if someone meddles, it won’t get past you.

"Your trip is not a secret operation, nothing shady. Before entering the hospital, everything can be under surveillance. Let me know if you need more people, I’ll arrange it for you.

"Oh, and when you see Old Man Feng, I suggest you speak little and maintain a distance from his bedside."

Yue Gengyang was worried that the old man might take advantage of Feng Yi again, so it was right to be cautious.

"This is a good opportunity for you to return to Yang City reasonably, without raising Old Yuan’s suspicions," Yue Gengyang said with a smile.

Feng Yi took the advice.

Upon his return to Yang City, the butler heard the news and remained relatively calm.

When Feng Yi first returned to Yang City and met with Old Man Feng at the old residence, many precautions were taken to make Feng Yi appear more imposing and persuasive, as if losing face was not an option!

The upcoming meeting at the hospital would have more of the Feng Family present, but this time, Feng Yi’s attitude was more relaxed, more casual, one could say...

Well, to put it bluntly, he didn’t take those people too seriously!

But the necessary preparations still had to be made.

Bring along your assistant, bodyguards, and lawyers, so you don’t have to call someone else when you need them.

The next day.

The Feng Family members arrived at the hospital early in the morning, looking heavy with concern.

Their dark circles under the eyes worsened, showing they had another restless night.

Today, Old Man Feng seemed not to want to see anyone, and his room was guarded by bodyguards who didn’t let them in.

Waiting outside the ward, they sat for a while before someone stood up.

"It should be about time now, I’ll go downstairs to check. Feng Yi might not know the room number when he arrives, so I’ll go and show him the way."

The others had ambivalent expressions.

There was something awkward about that statement.

Sometime later, another stood up.

"I’ll also go downstairs to check. Young folks tend to be impulsive; we need to make sure there’s no conflict or fighting later."

"Ahem, I’ll go too, to see if there’s anything I can help with. Strength in numbers."

Old Man Feng’s bodyguards at the door of the ward gave them several looks.

"Strength in numbers," they all thought, just how nervous can you be? So pathetic!

The Feng Family members didn’t care what the bodyguards thought. As they saw one after another leave, those remaining couldn’t sit still; it was better to go down and assess the situation than wait here, unable to do anything.

Feng Chi had spoken to Feng Yi in advance and knew approximately when he’d arrive at the hospital, so his family of three arrived just in time.

Upon arriving at the hospital, they saw the Feng Family members already waiting there without going upstairs.

Alright then, they thought, no rush to go up, let’s just wait down here with everyone.

There were others in the hospital aware of the Feng Family’s affairs.

Hearing that Old Man Feng’s condition had worsened, former friends, business partners, and those with their own agendas had visited him over the past two or three days.

They visited under the pretext of checking to confirm the rumors for themselves, as the old man had played the ill card a few times before—he was cunning!

However, this time, Old Man Feng’s condition was indeed serious.

Moreover, information had leaked from the Feng Family that Feng Yi was also coming today, so the attention was heightened.

The news reached not only those who knew them but also some social media influencers. They couldn’t enter the hospital, but they were staking out the outside!

Meanwhile, downstairs.

Feng Yi’s second uncle and aunt were already picturing the commercial building they were about to own, unable to hide a trace of joy on their faces.

No matter how Feng Yi’s relationship with them turned out in the future, as long as he showed up today, they would gain a building without any effort!

A valuable commercial building in the city center!

What, for Feng Jing?

What belongs to my son is mine, isn’t it?!

Last time when Old Man Feng made his will, they got a limited share. Now, to gain more from him unexpectedly was a pleasant surprise!

Just for that, they would not show any displeasure to Feng Yi. What if Feng Yi got upset and left as soon as he arrived? What then?

Thus, they showed eagerness on their faces.

As for the household of Feng Chi, Feng Yi’s third uncle, since their relationship with Feng Yi was closer than the others, they wouldn’t be stern either.

And the rest, though each had their own thoughts, dared not to offend Feng Yi to his face at this juncture. Hearing that Feng Yi’s car had arrived, they all adjusted their expressions promptly.

People nearby observed this scene and whispered to their friends, "Who are those people... Oh, the Feng Family, right."

Curious, they craned their necks forward to get a better look and chattered loudly to the person beside them:

"What are they doing standing there? Are they here to give a grand welcome to Teacher Wang?"
