The Fourth Madam covered her mouth, almost spitting up.
But she was arguably the most knowledgeable and intelligent of Song Shixiong's wives. Suppressing her nausea and shock, she quickly grabbed a large towel from the sofa, swiftly covering the demonic insects, then raised her high heels and trembled as she stepped on them.
Qin Yexuan let out a surprised sound, looking at this woman with new eyes.
Not bad. Song Shixiong managed to have such a bold, intelligent, and resilient woman.
"Fourth Madam..."
Qin Yexuan put down the trembling Secretary Zhang and chuckled, "What have you decided?"
"Little brother, please wait a moment. I, I'll go tell them right away. Please don't leave. You are our great savior."
The Fourth Madam quickly left.
On the sofa, Secretary Zhang woke up, his expression a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
He remained stubborn: "Your Excellency, you have cultivation, but changing fate against heaven can only be done by monsters. It's not that I don't believe you."
Qin Yexuan frowned and gently took out a card.
It was the card he obtained after defeating the turtle spirit in the small town.
A cyan card, crumpled. Upon close inspection, it was made of human skin and bone.
Thin slices of bone were encased in human skin, and the words were embroidered with human tendons using a needle.
The card was embroidered with six characters: Lion Camel Ridge Club!
Seeing the card, Secretary Zhang leaped up, nearly kneeling on the ground.
His teeth chattered: "So, Immortal Master, you are a great deity from Lion Camel Ridge. Just now, just now I was too disrespectful. I actually uttered the word 'monster'. Please spare me, Great Immortal."
When facing monsters, one could only use respectful titles like "Great Immortal," "Great Deity," or "Esteemed Master."
Secretary Zhang was terrified.
Qin Yexuan patted him, "I am not a monster... You only need to know this much."
Secretary Zhang retreated in fear, then blinked and suddenly knelt down: "Please, Great Immortal, save our Chairman. He treats me like his own son, and I see him as my father. I beg you to intervene."
With no news from the Fourth Madam, Qin Yexuan nodded, "Be quick. Is this me asking you to cure Song Shixiong? You should be begging me."
Secretary Zhang, both respectful and extremely fearful, led the way.
As they entered the elevator, Qin Yexuan asked, "What terms did the monsters offer Song Shixiong?"
Secretary Zhang quickly bowed and answered with a tremor, "Those Great Immortals demand half of the Song Jing Group's assets, and then they will grant our Chairman a lifespan of three to five years."
Qin Yexuan chuckled, "How did Song Shixiong respond?"
Secretary Zhang gave a bitter smile, "The old man would rather die... He said that the demon race wants to take over the Song Jing Group to wreak havoc on the human world, and he doesn't want to do something against his conscience."
Qin Yexuan sneered, "At least his mind is still clear. I can tell you, monsters cannot defy heaven. Their so-called three to five years is merely a way to keep Song Shixiong alive by turning him into a zombie."
Secretary Zhang was stunned, "Zombie?"
"Yes, the demon race only has crooked paths. Did you think they had elixirs or spiritual medicine?"
Secretary Zhang boldly asked, "Then do you, old sir, have elixirs?"
Qin Yexuan didn't even look at him and arrogantly replied, "I use immortal arts!"
Secretary Zhang dared not speak.
They passed through the elevator and arrived in front of the ward.
At this moment, the four women were in a heated argument.
For some reason, the legal wife and the second and third concubines had ganged up, their arrows aimed at the Fourth Madam.
The eldest wife was furious, as if wanting to devour the Fourth Madam, "Good! So it's true that the young one is favored. The old man is giving half of the Song Jing Group to you, and the rest is managed by professional executives. We get nothing?"
The second concubine stamped her foot, "Eldest sister, this is just her claim. Who knows what the old man said? Where's the lawyer? Get Lawyer Huang here."
Lawyer Huang came over timidly, trembling slightly, "The will, the will hasn't been written yet. The old Chairman is probably confused. We can wait a bit longer."
The Fourth Madam couldn't believe it, "Lawyer Huang, Shixiong just verbally stated the will, which you and I both heard. How dare you lie."
The situation became even more chaotic.
Secretary Zhang roared, "What are you all doing? The Chairman isn't dead yet! I've invited a young miracle doctor, and we'll go treat the Chairman now!"
He pointed at Qin Yexuan.
The women's eyes widened, and they burst into laughter, "This is the miracle doctor? Just a young kid who hasn't even lost his mother's milk. Secretary Zhang, are you involved with that slut? Why are you helping her?"
The eldest wife, along with the second and third concubines, worked in tandem. One rushed forward and grabbed the Fourth Madam's hair, her nails digging fiercely into her scalp, while the other two restrained Secretary Zhang.
A fight broke out.
Just then, the eldest wife's son, Song's eldest son, Song Wenlong, appeared.
He adjusted his glasses, "Mom, stop fighting. I've found a true miracle doctor, Master Zhao Qingnang from Chaoge Medical Arts."
Zhao Qingnang, around sixty years old, stood proudly behind Song Wenlong, followed by other Song family children.
Song Shixiong certainly had many offspring. The first three wives each had three sons and three daughters, and the fourth wife also had one son and one daughter.
No wonder the inheritance was so chaotic.
These sons and daughters alone were enough to cause disputes.
Zhao Qingnang's reputation was immense, a top immortal of Chaoge Medical Arts.
At this moment, he flicked dust from his clothes, pushed aside the crowd, and coldly entered the ward.
He casually took Song Shixiong's pulse, closed his eyes, and muttered.
Then he pretended to lower his head, as if listening to Song Shixiong speak.
Qin Yexuan saw it clearly. Song Shixiong's lips hadn't moved.
Interesting. It seemed this Zhao Qingnang had come to finish Song Shixiong off.
Indeed, under the guise of bowing his head, Zhao Qingnang slipped a pill into Song Shixiong's mouth.
He straightened up, skillfully blocking the view.
After a long while, Zhao Qingnang walked out and announced in front of the doctors, "Chairman Song is old and has passed away. He told me his will in my ear as he departed."
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Zhao Qingnang coughed, "The old Chairman's exact words were that the Song Jing Group is to be managed by the First Madam, and the Second and Third Madams will be directors with voting rights. As for the Fourth Madam, I'm sorry, Chairman Song said that the four companies you manage must be handed over, except for that... game club, everything else must be surrendered!"
The eldest wife was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to offer Zhao Qingnang a red envelope.
Even the second and third concubines couldn't stand it, "Eldest sister... the old man is gone, we should be mourning."
This reminded the eldest wife, and she began to weep.
The Fourth Madam watched this scene calmly, tears falling one by one. She was truly heartbroken.
She sat on the ground weakly, "My sister asked me to take good care of Shixiong when she passed away. My sister was the original wife. Who would have thought it would end like this."
Qin Yexuan watched with great interest. He stepped forward and said, "Stop crying, the old man isn't dead yet."
