Chapter 557: Chapter 557: I’m Going to Die!_1
As Hai Xiaotang was packing her bags, Dongfang Yu had to leave due to some business.
He was going to see Dongfang Yue!
Dongfang Yue was slightly surprised at his arrival.
In the spacious, luxurious living room, Dongfang Yue, dressed in a pure black silk robe, was lazily reclining on a European-style court sofa.
Unlike Dongfang Yu, who was formally dressed in a suit, looking stern and dignified, Dongfang Yue appeared casual and decadent.
Swirling the red wine in his hand, Dongfang Yue smiled lightly and asked, “What brings you here? You’re not here to negotiate something with me, are you?”
Dongfang Yu responded with a counter-question, “Do you really want full control of Dongfang?”
His question straightforward, Dongfang Yue raised his eyebrows, “What, planning to hand it over to me?”
“You can take over tomorrow.” Dongfang Yu replied succinctly.
A glint appeared in Dongfang Yue’s eyes. After a sip of wine, he asked coolly, “Why the sudden generosity?”
“We are family after all, it makes no difference who the president is.”
“Are you about to die, is that why you’re giving it to me?” Dongfang Yue intentionally provoked.
To his surprise, Dongfang Yu admitted with a nod, “Yes, I’m dying.”
Dongfang Yue looked somewhat taken aback, coolly eyeing him, as he waited for an explanation.
Dongfang Yu then revealed everything.
“The time when you showed up, I was already on the brink of death! I was shot twice–once here…” Dongfang Yu pointed to his chest, then pointed to his head, “and another time here!”
Dongfang Yue was stunned, then laughed. “How are you still alive? That indeed is a miracle!”
Dongfang Yu smirked, “Correct, it is a miracle. Everyone thought I was dead, but I survived. What’s even more miraculous is that the bullet lodged in my brain was in such a peculiar position that it enabled me to live until today. But miracles fade, and now I must get the bullet removed, or else I could die at any moment.”
Dongfang Yue glanced at Dongfang Yu’s head and casually remarked, “But removing the bullet will kill you, since the success rate is nearly zero.”
Dongfang Yu’s eyes flickered, “Yes. The success rate is less than one percent, but I want to bet on that one percent. However, I know that the chances of my survival are small.”
“No wonder you’re willing to give up the company to me.” Dongfang Yue sneered, “I don’t want someone else’s charity. Keep it.”
“This is not charity. I’m grateful that you’re here!” Dongfang Yu declared earnestly, “I’ve always been worried. If I die, what will happen to my parents and the family business? So Dongfang Yue, I’m truly grateful for your presence.”
“What about your wife? Why not give her to me too.” Dongfang Yue suggested.
Dongfang Yu answered firmly, “She will always be your sister-in-law!”
“Since you’re dying anyway, isn’t it better if I take over everything?” Dongfang Yue intentionally goaded him yet again.
Dongfang Yu remained calm, “Only she will always belong to me! Dongfang Yue, go to the company tomorrow. Only you can take over. Regardless of what you think of me, whether it’s charity or whatever, you’re the only one who can take charge of everything! I’m counting on you.”
Having said this solemn last statement, Dongfang Yu stood up to leave.
“If you die, Hai Xiaotang will die too, right…” Dongfang Yue suddenly interjected.
Dongfang Yu paused, and without turning around, he said, “She won’t know I’m dying! I hope you won’t tell her, never!”
With that said, Dongfang Yu left, leaving the thoughtful Dongfang Yue behind.
After leaving Dongfang Yue’s place, Dongfang Yu subsequently went to the Dongfang Mansion…
