Chapter 642: Mutual Exploitation
"Okay, can we take Joe away now?"
Xiao Jincheng shrugged indifferently, "Of course, you can take him away. Remember to come back after the operation. I need your help with something."
Li Fengjue looked at the man in front of him with complicated eyes. He was obviously over sixty years old, but he could clearly see how shrewd this man was. Even if it were him, he would never be his opponent. If it weren't for Bai Yilin this time, he would not have any intersection with this man. He was really too scary.
Xiao Jincheng could fully understand the deep meaning behind Li Fengjue's eyes, but there was no need for him to say more to this boy. It was just for the sake of exploitation, and it was mutual. As long as he could get what he wanted, he would be able to get what he wanted easily.
"Lilith, send Joe to the Li residence in person. I'm waiting for good news, Mr. Li."
Xiao Jincheng's voice was a little hoarse, because his health was really not good. For a long time, Joe had been taking care of him. Now he had to complete the operation on Bai Yilin before he could come back. It was estimated that it would take a few more days to observe the recovery after the operation. It would take at least more than seven days. He really used his life to fight for something for himself.
Li Fengjue said thank you. Although Xiao Jincheng had something to ask for help, what Xiao Jincheng had agreed to do now completely solved his biggest confusion. If Bai Yilin could recover, he would definitely do whatever Xiao Jincheng asked him to do in the future.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Li Fengjue would be such a person that Xiao Jincheng was willing to bet his own life. Maybe he would really die, but for him, all this was not important. What was important was that the future heir of the Xiao family would definitely be Xiao Mingyang. As long as Xiao Mingyang could become a descendant of the Xiao family again, then even if he died, it would be a worthy death.
"Grandpa, Joe is your private doctor. How can you let him go out and perform surgery casually?"
This time, Lilith refused to listen to Xiao Jincheng. He was playing with his own life. If Joe really left, what good would it do if she could take care of him? After all, she was not a doctor.
"I will never agree to it this time, Grandpa."
Xiao Jincheng frowned. Lilith had been with him for more than ten years. How could Xiao Jincheng not understand this girl's thoughts? Although Lilith was always a woman that made people feel headache and scared outside, in front of him, she was always just the most innocent child she had been before.
"Lilith, I have already made a decision on this matter. If you have any opinions, please wait until this matter is over."
Xiao Jincheng didn't give Lilith any chance to refute and said directly to Joe: "You go back with Mr. Li and come back after the operation is completed. I think I can still hold on."
Lilith really wanted to object, but no one could ever object to what Xiao Jincheng decided, so even Lilith, who had followed him for many years, could only let Joe leave with that man, the man who had just threatened her. If anything happened to her grandfather, she would never let him go.
"Lilith, you are always so impulsive."
Xiao Jincheng felt a little tired and had no interest in talking much, but Lilith would have to take charge of this family sooner or later.
“Sometimes, you have to give up something in order to gain something, otherwise the deal is unfair.”
It was difficult for Lilith to understand Xiao Jincheng's realm, otherwise she would definitely not be just Lilith now.
"Grandpa, I don't understand. I just know that I can't just watch you get hurt and do nothing. You know exactly what your body would be like if Joe hadn't been by your side to take care of you. And you actually sent Joe out for surgery. This is simply..."
There is no need to say more about what Lilith said next, because I always feel that it is unlucky. Although I am not a superstitious person, some words still feel bad when they are said out loud.
Xiao Jincheng smiled, a faint smile that made people feel warm. "Lilith, I know you're worried, but you have to know that no matter how healthy Grandpa is, he will die sooner or later. Before he dies, I must end all of the Xiao family's assets. This is the only way to ensure that the Xiao family will have someone to carry on the legacy."
How could Lilith not know about this? Grandpa has mentioned it many times, but shouldn't this kind of thing be decided by herself? As long as Xiao Mingyang becomes her husband, is she still afraid that he will refuse to inherit the Xiao family's business? This is a family business that many people envy. If Xiao Mingyang knew, he would definitely not refuse.
Xiao Jincheng looked at Lilith's confused expression and couldn't help but say, "You are still too young and don't understand many things."
"By the way, hasn't Ming Yang been sending people to monitor me recently?"
Lilith nodded. This kind of stupid detective was useless. If it were in the past, she would have shot him to death long ago. But this time, her grandfather didn't allow her to do it. She didn't know if it was because of Xiao Mingyang, so she always held back. But it was of no use in the end, because as long as Xiao Jincheng didn't want to, no one could secretly take pictures of anything, let alone important clues.
"Give him some clues and let him go back to report to Xiao Mingyang, letting him know my current situation."
Lilith frowned, but quickly realized that her grandfather was planning to use a self-torture trick again this time, and she was planning to take advantage of the situation. This was perfect, as Xiao Mingyang was still monitoring her grandfather. If he discovered any clues at this time, he would probably be very happy.
"Lilith, remember, you have to be very natural. Otherwise, someone as smart as Ming Yang won't believe it."
Lilith nodded. She could still handle this matter, otherwise how could she still be with Xiao Jincheng now? She was with Xiao Jincheng because, on the one hand, she was well-behaved and obedient, at least she listened to Xiao Jincheng, and on the other hand, it was because Lilith did have a very smart brain. At least in the limited time she had, she learned the essence of Xiao Jincheng, which was something that most people could not do.
The afternoon Xiao Mingyang got the clue, he happened to be in the office. After the meeting, Xiao Mingyang was still a little tired. He saw the folder on the table and opened it to take a look. It contained some recent pictures of Xiao Jincheng. The figure in the picture looked particularly pitiful, especially the occasional cough, which made the whole person look even more miserable than what Xiao Mingyang had seen before.
Does this mean that Xiao Jincheng's body really can't hold on any longer?
