Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Given the current situation, this is not the time to save face.

Regardless of what Yi Zhonghai thought, he was going to find Jin Qihao.

If we don't go to Jin Qihao, we won't even be able to solve the problem of getting food.

There's an even bigger problem, which is borrowing money.

They mortgaged the property certificate to someone else and borrowed a large sum of money.

I had hoped that after acquiring the No. 4 Cotton Mill, I would have money in hand and could easily pay off the debt.

But wouldn't that ruin the business?
It's obvious that the debt collectors will be here soon.

Bang Geng's car was also seized and will be returned to them after the matter is resolved.

A group of people had no choice but to take a bus to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, they saw Jin Qihao's assistant talking to a middle-aged man at the door of the ward.

Hearing the commotion, the assistant turned around and saw them, then whispered a few words to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at Yi Zhonghai and the others with disgust.

Yi Zhonghai didn't recognize the middle-aged man, so he asked his assistant, "How is Qi Hao?"

The assistant didn't speak, but looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said coldly, "What happens to my father is none of your business. You can leave."

"Who are you?" Judging from the way he addressed him, the middle-aged man was Jin Qihao's son.

Since he is Jin Qihao's son, he is Yi Zhonghai's junior.

Yi Zhonghai was very displeased that a junior spoke to him in that way.

The assistant quickly explained, "This is the old gentleman's son, Jin Jichuan."

Yi Zhonghai adopted the demeanor of an elder: "Oh, it's Jichuan. I'm your father's sworn brother, you can just call me Uncle Yi."

Jin Jichuan frowned unhappily: "Don't bring up those relationships with me."

My father is in poor health, please do not disturb him.

Yi Zhonghai said with displeasure, "How can you talk to your elders like that?"

My assistant knows very well what my relationship with your father is; you can ask him if you don't believe me.

"I don't need to ask. If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't have been harmed like this."

"I'm being lenient by not holding you accountable, and you still dare to come closer." Jin Jichuan showed Yi Zhonghai absolutely no respect.

Jin Jichuan was the child of Jin Qihao after he went to Taiwan and got married.

He grew up in Taiwan and had never met the deaf old lady, so they weren't close.

Jin Qihao might be polite to Yi Zhonghai because of the deaf old lady, but Jin Jichuan wouldn't be.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to argue with Jin Jichuan, so he looked at his assistant and said, "I want to see Qi Hao."

With Jin Jichuan around, the assistant definitely won't listen to Yi Zhonghai.

Jin Jichuan said unhappily, "I told you to leave, didn't you hear me?"

Yi Zhonghai was also furious: "How did Qi Hao educate you?"

Don't you know how to respect the elderly?
What younger generation would speak like that, following the example of their elders?

If you continue to be so rude, I'll teach you a lesson on Qi Hao's behalf.

"F**k, who do you think you are?" Jin Jichuan was so angry with Yi Zhonghai that he even spoke in English.

Yi Zhonghai didn't understand English, but upon hearing the following Chinese sentence, he could guess that the foreign phrase wasn't a pleasant one.

This made him even more dissatisfied.

"Qi Hao, I'm your sworn brother. I've come to see you."

Yi Zhonghai felt it wasn't worth arguing with Jin Jichuan, so he decided to go directly to Jin Qihao.

Jin Qihao, who was in the ward, was already in poor health, and the disturbance caused by Yi Zhonghai triggered a flare-up of his illness.

Jin Jichuan glared angrily at Yi Zhonghai: "If anything happens to my dad, I won't let you off the hook."

Seeing the doctors and nurses running into the ward, Yi Zhonghai and the others were terrified.

They were all worried that they would really anger Jin Qihao to death, so they secretly slipped away.

After the emergency treatment was over, the doctor said helplessly, "The patient doesn't have much time left. Let him rest well and don't make him angry anymore."

Jin Jichuan looked at Jin Qihao lying on the hospital bed with great helplessness.

He said to his assistant, "What exactly happened? My dad came back to invest, how could he have been scammed?"

The assistant dared not hide anything and told everything he knew, including the plan to work with Yi Zhonghai to deal with He Yuzhu.

Jin Jichuan sensed something was wrong: "Why do we have to go against He Yuzhu?"

"It might be because of the old lady. Yi Zhonghai often told the old man about how He Yuzhu bullied the old lady."

Jin Jichuan couldn't understand. Why would someone go against others just for an old woman who had been dead for so many years?

"What exactly is He Yuzhu's background?"

So the assistant then relayed He Yuzhu's information.

After hearing this, Jin Jichuan's face was full of doubt: "Does my dad know about He Yuzhu's background?"

"know."

"Do you know why you still oppose him? This is Beijing, He Yuzhu's territory."

"Going against He Yuzhu on He Yuzhu's turf? That's incredibly foolish!" Jin Jichuan couldn't understand it.

In his mind, Jin Qihao wouldn't be so unwise.

The assistant remembered what He Yuzhu had said that day and told Jin Jichuan about it.

Jin Jichuan still couldn't understand what the benefit was in dealing with Jin Qihao.

"How are things going with the business?"

The assistant has been staying at the hospital with Kim Qi-ho lately and has no time to deal with business matters.

However, he still knew the basic facts.

Jin Jichuan never expected that his family would hand over the business to Yi Zhonghai.

"I'll arrange for someone to take care of things at the hospital. You take some people and go get the funds back from Yi Zhonghai and his associates."

The assistant looked troubled: "We might not be able to get what they have back."

The restaurant and fried chicken shop were shut down, and the courtyard house was mortgaged.

Jin Jichuan said, "Then go to the government and pay the fines."

I will ask someone from the US embassy to help handle these matters.

Once we get the restaurant and fried chicken shop back, we'll sell them.

There are also courtyard houses…

"The house is registered under Yi Zhonghai's name..." the assistant quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, Jin Jichuan couldn't help but complain, "That old man really knows how to cause me trouble."

Didn't you say the house was mortgaged by them?
Then forget it.

Next time they come, I'll have someone turn them away.

The assistant immediately went to handle these matters.

Jin Jichuan looked at Jin Qihao on the bed and said, "Old man, you've really given me a reasonable excuse."

Back in the courtyard, Liu Guangtian and his companions felt uneasy.

Jin Jichuan's attitude towards them was extremely cold.

If Jin Qihao fails, they will not be able to get any money from him.

If they have no money, what are they doing staying in the courtyard house?
The group of people tacitly agreed to run away.

"Grandpa, what do we do now?"

Yi Zhonghai was in a state of utter confusion and had no idea what to do.

Jin Jichuan's appearance and his attitude disrupted Yi Zhonghai's plans.

With Jin Jichuan around, even if Jin Qihao recovers, he won't be able to ask Jin Qihao for money like before.

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said, pretending to be calm, "Guangtian, go to the hospital with Guangfu and see how Qi Hao is doing."
"If Qi Hao wakes up, come back and tell me immediately."

Liu Guangtian and his companion reluctantly agreed.

Then Yi Zhonghai instructed Bang Geng: "Take Jie Cheng and a few others and go find out about the restaurant and fried chicken shop."

"As long as the government returns these to us, we can use them to make money back."

Yi Zhonghai's arrangements temporarily stabilized the overall situation.

However, no one is sure if they can keep their current lives.

Three old men sat facing each other, huddled in the house, deep in worry. (End of Chapter)
