He switched careers to become a loan shark, handed over his assets to the state, and then profited g

"A wish? What wish?"

"Say it! As long as the country can meet our needs, we will definitely do it!"

Zeng Ku's expression was serious.

The other twelve court masters were also extremely serious.

In their view.

Today, the Great Xia has merged with Wu Bai.

We all prosper together, and we all suffer together!

Now that he has expressed his wish, we absolutely cannot let him down!

And it is evident that the Twelve Court Masters attach great importance to this.

Wu Bai felt much warmer inside.

He then quickly spoke up.

"It's really not a big deal."

"I just feel that my family is working too hard."

"I would like to ask the government to find them a good job that isn't too strenuous."

Upon hearing this...

Zeng Ku felt a pang of emotion.

"What a good child! So obedient and filial—there aren't many children like that anymore!"

"yes."

Ji Musheng nodded in agreement.

There was no trace of Zhao Jianjun's strange expression.

"Um, Wu Bai."

"Is your family short of money?"

Zhao Jianjun asked.

Wu Bai sighed helplessly.

"yes."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by everyone if I tell you this."

"My parents have been running that barbecue restaurant ever since I can remember."

"It's alright during peak season, we can get a few customers."

"But during the off-season, very few people come."

"I still clearly remember the day before the start of the second year of junior high school, it was snowing heavily outside, and we didn't have a single customer all day."

"The image of my dad standing at the door, smoking and looking around, trying to raise money for my tuition."

"Although Old Deng and I often act disrespectfully towards each other, I know he still loves me in his heart."

"I'm all grown up now, and I don't want him to be so tired."

"So I'd like to ask you all, could you please help my family?"

Wu Bai's voice was sincere and moving.

Zeng Ku and the others were deeply moved by what they heard.

Ji Musheng became even more emotional and spoke up directly.

"Don't worry, child! Now that you've dedicated yourself to the country, I'll help with your parents' affairs!"

"It's just money and a job! I, Ji Musheng, have it all!"

"Tch! I don't need you!"

"I, Yan Xu, have amassed some wealth over the years. Kid, I'll help you out!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

Everyone quickly spoke up.

Even Zeng Ku expressed his opinion.

Only Zhao Jianjun looked at Wu Bai with a strange expression.

This puzzled Yan Xu for a moment.

"Hey! Zhao Jianjun! What are you doing! Say something, make a statement!"

"You're not short of money, are you?"

Hearing Yan Xu's words, Zhao Jianjun finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"You don't know anything! This isn't about money!"

"His father is Wu Changfeng!!"

"Wu Changfeng? Which Wu Changfeng?"

"Who else could it be! Besides that brat, who else could be named Wu Changfeng!"

After Zhao Jianjun's reminder, Zeng Ku and the others seemed to remember something, and their eyes widened instantly.

"Eighteen years ago, that kid who took the Dragon Head King's Ring, was nominated as a Red Star General, and tricked the eldest daughter of the Bai family of Chaohai into marrying him?!"

"what!"

"Wait, wait a minute! So, this child is Brother Feng's son!?"

Ji Musheng pointed at Wu Bai, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What else!?"

"Good heavens! No wonder this kid looked like someone I knew; turns out he's the son of someone I knew!"

Listening to the increasingly off-topic topics discussed by the Twelve Court Masters.

Wu Bai felt a sense of unease.

"You all know my dad?"

"Um!"

Everyone nodded.

"And about my family..."

"Wait a minute, Wu Bai, let me confirm with you one more time."

"Are you sure what you just said is true?"

"Of course! How could the place I've lived in since I was a child be fake?"

Wu Bai didn't understand why he would ask that question.

However, he had barely finished speaking.

Ji Musheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Pfft, hahaha!"

"Now I know where you learned to be so mean!"

"That bastard Feng, he even lied to his own son!"

"Wait a minute!!"

"Lies? What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly."

Wu Bai quickly inquired.

"Silly child, let's not talk about your mother, let's just talk about your father!"

"That's a formidable character who, 18 years ago, single-handedly completed 100 dungeon first clears, participated in 6 national wars, and fought in 3 inter-racial wars!"

"Just the gold coins from opening the treasure chests in the dungeon alone would easily amount to a whopping 6000 billion!"

"Not to mention the equipment in his backpack."

"You could easily pick one of these items and sell it for 70 or 80 billion at an auction!"

"You're telling me someone like that can't be poor?!"

"No, are you serious? An auction house, really? I don't believe it at all."

Wu Bai looked on with suspicion as he listened to Ji Musheng's words.

Ji Musheng rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Why would I lie to you! It's not a secret! You can easily find out by asking any of the elders at Longyuan Pavilion."

"Besides, wasn't your mother, Bai Shishi, tricked into marrying you by your father when he was selling equipment?"

"Wait a minute!!"

"Selling equipment?"

"That's not what my mom said!"

"She said the reason she likes my dad is because he's a great barbecue chef!"

"Haha, you silly child."

"Do you really think the only daughter of the Bai family in Chaohai would secretly get engaged to someone just because they're good at barbecue?"

"Her family's Chaohai Chamber of Commerce is among the top 10 in the world."

"Her biological brother, oh, that is, your uncle, is also the current president of the Chaohai Chamber of Commerce!"

"Do you think she's short of money?"

"Your family is so poor that all they have left is money, right?"

Listen to what Ji Musheng said.

Wu Bai felt his head buzzing.

"No way, where did this Bai family from Chaohai come from?! My mom never told me about them!"

"Why do I feel like things in my family are getting more and more chaotic?"

Wu Bai held his head, completely bewildered.

He only wanted his parents to have a better life, but he never expected it to involve so many things!

"Oh right, what about my grandpa? My dad said he had a big head and a thick neck, and he was a chef who flipped a big wok!"

"This can't be fake, right?"

"Pfft!! Hahaha, chef!!!"

"Brother Feng is really daring! Isn't he afraid that guy will come back and slap him across the face?! Hahaha!"

Ji Musheng burst into laughter.

But this time, it wasn't just him who was laughing.

All the masters of the Twelve Dragon Courts laughed along.

Even Zhao Jianjun was no exception!

The oldest among them, Zeng Ku, was stroking his long eyebrows while laughing.

This made Wu Bai's face even darker.

It is clear.

Even his grandfather's identity was fabricated by this old man!

He even thought about helping his family improve their lives and providing them with shelter from the wind and rain.

They only realized it after leaving the house.

It didn't rain at all in my area!

"Damn you, Deng! I'll remember this! You just wait! We'll see about this someday!!!"

Wu Bai gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound.

at the same time.

Northern Dragon Star Auction Venue.

"Congratulations to Mr. Wu Changfeng for successfully acquiring the iridescent-grade accessory, 'Tears of the Meteor,' for 360 billion gold coins!"

A burst of cheers followed.

Wu Changfeng placed the Meteorite Tear in front of Bai Shishi.

"How is it, honey? Do you like the ring?"

"It's alright. The quality, cutting, and craftsmanship are all quite good."

"But honey, why do I feel like this ring isn't as pretty as the rhinestone one our son gave me?"

Bai Shishi leaned against Wu Changfeng's chest and asked softly.

Wu Changfeng burst into laughter.

"That's true, but you can wear them alternately, so you don't break the things your son gave you and then feel bad about it."

"Achoo!!"

"Hey? You caught a cold? Didn't I tell you it's getting colder these past few days and to wear more layers?"

"It's not about wearing too much or too little; it's probably about someone talking about me behind my back."

"Pfft, you must have offended someone again."

"How could that be! I've been very obedient these past few years! It must be one of my old enemies who was cursing me!"

"Damn it, once my seal is broken, I'm going to rip off the heads of everyone who insulted me and use them as footballs!"

"Achoo!!"

"Look, here we go again."
