After the divorce, I became a god that my ex-wife couldn’t reach.

Chapter 2039 Is the Wu Family Really That Powerful?

"Go away!"

Before the thug could finish speaking, Wu Zhengfeng shouted angrily and dragged the thug away.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to drag this young man.

However, after being slapped, the thug was intimidated by Wu Zhengfeng.

Besides, no matter what, Wu Zhengfeng is their third great-uncle.

Although it's a branch, the seniority is still there.

The members of the elders, these younger ones, still felt a deep-seated fear.

"Mr. Pi, please!"

After dragging the thugs away, Wu Zhengfeng immediately turned to Pi Yangyang with a fawning expression.

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly and said calmly, "That's more like an elder."

Then, he turned to Wei Xiaodao and the others and said, "Xiaodao, Tieniu, you guard this place and don't let anyone in! Wu Tianding, come with me to take a look."

"Yes!"

Wei Xiaodao and Tie Niu both agreed at the same time.

Wu Tianding nodded and followed Pi Yangyang as they pushed open the ward door and went inside.

The ward was empty, with only one specially made hospital bed.

On the hospital bed lay an elderly man with white hair, a sallow complexion, and his eyes closed.

The monitoring equipment beside the bed was steadily beeping, and an IV drip was slowly flowing.

Upon seeing the old man on the bed, Wu Tianding's expression suddenly became somewhat agitated.

He cried out in a broken voice, "Dad!"

She immediately rushed to the bedside, knelt down without hesitation, and buried her face in the bedside, sobbing uncontrollably.

A strange light flashed in Pi Yangyang's eyes. He stared at the old man's face for a moment, then grabbed the old man's hand, looked at his fingernails, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't cry, he's alright."

Wu Tianding looked up in surprise at Pi Yangyang, "Mr. Pi, what do you mean by that?"

“I mean, the old man isn’t sick at all,” Pi Yangyang said calmly. “He’s been poisoned.”

"Poisoned?"

Wu Tianding was startled and suddenly stood up, looking at Wu Taishan on the bed in horror.

“That’s right, it’s poisoning,” Pi Yangyang said with certainty.

As he spoke, he took out his needle case, picked out a silver needle, and pricked Wu Taishan's left hand between the thumb and forefinger.

Wu Tianding saw a drop of dark blood slowly seeping out from the needle tip.

Even though it was only one drop, he could smell a nauseating, fishy stench that made him feel dizzy.

"This...is it really poisoning?" Wu Tianding said incredulously. "How did this happen?"

Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, someone poisoned him!"

Wu Tianding shuddered, his eyes flashing with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "What vicious hearts! This is their father, how could they do such a thing!"

Clearly, his first thought was of the seven sons of the Wu family.

Pi Yangyang said, "Human desires can often drive a person mad. The Wu family is so large and powerful, who wouldn't want to be the master of this family? Moreover, the area where the Wu family is located has been included in the new industrial park plan, which is a huge pie for the Wu family. Without the old man, this pie could eat people up!"

Wu Tianding felt cold all over and sat down in a chair nearby in a state of fear.

"But the hospital specialists said that my father's condition was caused by late-stage diabetes, leading to multiple organ failure..."

Wu Tianding still finds it hard to accept the fact that Wu Taishan has been poisoned.

"That can only mean that those so-called 'experts' have been bribed by the poisoner!"

Pi Yangyang said with absolute certainty.

"I understand!" Wu Tianding gritted his teeth again. "No wonder they sent so many people to guard this place and not allow anyone to come up! It's because they were afraid someone would find out that the old man had been poisoned! This person is truly ruthless!"

After figuring it out, he suddenly stared at Pi Yangyang with some surprise and doubt, "Mr. Pi, how did you figure that out? Do you know medicine?"

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly and waved the silver needles in his hand, "I happen to know a little about this."

"Then... can the poison that the old man suffered from be cured?"

Wu Tianding, as if he had found a savior, asked hopefully.

"Of course." Pi Yangyang nodded.

Without warning, Wu Tianding knelt down before Pi Yangyang and pleaded, "Please, Mr. Pi, help my father detoxify!"

Pi Yangyang didn't help him up, letting him kneel there, staring at him and asking, "Wu Tianding, back then, your mother and father gave birth to you, but he never cared about you for a single day, and he didn't even protect your mother. Don't you hate him?"

"I don't hate him!" Wu Tianding answered decisively. "No matter what, he brought me into this world. Moreover, after my mother's accident, he searched for me with all his might, and despite the family's objections, he insisted on bringing me back to the Wu family, and even gave me a few opportunities..."

"In this world, besides my mother, he is the only person who is truly good to me. I have no hatred for him, only gratitude."

Pi Yangyang nodded, reached out and pulled him up, saying, "Don't worry, I will cure his poison, but not now."

Wu Tianding was taken aback. "Why?"

Pi Yangyang said calmly, "Although your seven brothers are united against you, they are not a monolithic group. Now that the old man is seriously ill, while they are dealing with you, they are also scheming against each other, each wanting to become the next head of the Wu family."

“If the old man wakes up, they will restrain their behavior, and their true nature will not be exposed. Only if the old man continues to be seriously ill will they show their fangs…”

Although Wu Tianding understood, he glanced at Wu Taishan with some worry and said, "But... if we don't cure the poison, what if..."

"Don't worry, I'll keep him under control for the time being. He definitely won't die from the poison within six months."

Pi Yangyang said with absolute certainty.

Wu Tianding breathed a sigh of relief, bowed deeply to Pi Yangyang, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Pi! If you can save my father's life, I will always respect you!"

Pi Yangyang didn't say much. He took out three more silver needles and inserted them into the tiger's mouth of Wu Taishan's hands, and another needle into his brow.

With a few gentle twists, a wisp of invisible true energy flowed along the silver needle between Wu Taishan's eyebrows and into his body.

A moment later, the silver needle was removed, and three drops of thick, dark blood seeped out.

He pulled a few tissues from the bedside table, wiped away the three beads of blood, handed the tissues to Wu Tianding, and said, "Take these with you when you leave, don't leave them here."

Wu Tianding quickly took it, carefully folded it, and put it in his pocket.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out downstairs.

"Seventh Brother, where are they?"

The first voice to come through was Wu Tianhe's, arrogant and domineering.

"They broke in!" Wu Tianying's angry voice followed immediately.

Hearing their conversation, Pi Yangyang said calmly, "Let's go down and take a look."

Wu Tianding said with some concern, "Mr. Pi, Wu Tianhe must have brought quite a few people with him. And they even called Tiger..."

Pi Yangyang smirked, "What? Scared?"

Wu Tianding's expression brightened. "I'm not afraid! I'm worried about you..."

“No need,” Pi Yangyang said. “I’m just curious to see just how powerful your underground emperor in Xingyi really is.”

Wu Tianding swallowed hard and said, "Okay, I'll go down with you, sir."

As the two left the ward, Wei Xiaodao quickly said, "Mr. Pi, their people are here."

"Okay, let's go down and take a look."

"Yes!"

Wei Xiaodao answered respectfully and followed Pi Yangyang downstairs.

Tie Niu asked excitedly, "Are we going to fight again?"

Pi Yangyang said, "Let's see if they have the guts to make a move."

Wu Zhengfeng was filled with fear, but he had no choice but to follow behind.

Now, he is completely tied to Wu Tianding.

The seven sons of the Wu family will surely come after him, and now his only hope lies with Pi Yangyang, Wei Xiaodao, and the others.

He hoped that these powerful outsiders could truly suppress the local bullies in Xingyi.

However, thinking of Tiger's formidable reputation in Xingyi, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

The group took the elevator to the first floor. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard Wu Tianhu shout angrily, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way! The Wu family is not a place for you to run wild."

Pi Yangyang looked ahead and saw six thugs from the Longmen gang lined up at the entrance, preventing the Wu family from entering.

"No one is allowed to go in without Brother Dao's permission!"

The leader of the six spoke firmly.

"Damn it, this is unbelievable!" Wu Tianhu roared. "Where did you all come from? Why do you have to oppose the Wu family? If you don't get out of the way, I'll chop you all up and feed you to the dogs!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Xiaodao coldly remarked, "Is the Wu family that powerful? Are they some kind of organized crime group?"
