Chapter 52: Da Mao Recovers His Manly Vigor and Offers a Scheme to Liu Haizhong
Early the next morning, Xu Damao sneaked over to Wang Lin's house.
"Knock, knock, knock. Brother Lin, are you home?"
"Come in."
Granted permission by Wang Lin, Xu Damao pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Wang Lin surrounded by three beauties, Xu Damao's eyes were filled with envy, but it quickly turned into a flattering expression.
"Well, Brother Lin, you see, I've managed to find a big treasure. Could you please help heal me?"
Wang Lin looked helplessly at Qin Huairu. If it weren't for her, he could have come up with another excuse to refuse, or simply ignored Xu Damao altogether.
But now, Qin Huairu had claimed that his refusal to treat Xu Damao was because he didn't have a big treasure of his own.
Now look at this mess. Xu Damao had actually gone out and cut off Silly Zhu's big treasure. How on earth was he supposed to refuse now?
"Let's go to your place for the treatment."
Seeing that Wang Lin agreed to treat him, Xu Damao's face broke into a wide, joyful grin, resembling a flattering lackey.
"Alright, alright, alright. Thank you so much, Brother Lin."
Acting entirely like a sycophant, Xu Damao led Wang Lin toward his home.
After Xu Damao and Wang Lin left, Lou Xiaoe looked at Qin Huairu and Chen Xueru in shock and said,
"This Xu Damao is ruthless. He actually went and chopped off Silly Zhu's big treasure."
At that moment, Yu Fengxia rubbed her sleepy eyes, suddenly walked in from the back room, and asked with curiosity,
"Sister Xiaoe, what big treasure? Is it delicious?"
Because of Yu Fengxia's appearance, the three women immediately dropped the subject of Xu Damao and Silly Zhu.
Lou Xiaoe answered awkwardly,
"Little Fengxia, you're still too young. You'll understand when you grow up."
"Oh."
Without dwelling on it, little Yu Fengxia ran straight into Chen Xueru's arms, begging her to tell a story.
Over at Xu Damao's house, Xu Damao had already handed Silly Zhu's big treasure over to Wang Lin.
Gazing at Silly Zhu's big treasure, Wang Lin felt sick to his stomach.
Who knew how long Silly Zhu had gone without taking a bath? The thing stank enough to make one retch, and the crucial part was that it was practically indistinguishable in size from a young child's.
Wang Lin muttered inwardly in contempt,
"Why on earth does Silly Zhu's big treasure look like a toothpick? It's way too small and thin."
Despite his utter disdain for Silly Zhu's property, Wang Lin's hands did not stop working.
With a flick, Wang Lin placed Silly Zhu's big treasure against Xu Damao's wound and gently blew a breath over it. The treasure instantly grafted onto Xu Damao's body without leaving a single trace of a scar, as though it had grown there naturally from the very beginning.
"All done."
Hearing Wang Lin's words, Xu Damao was stunned and blurted out instinctively,
"That's it?"
It wasn't that Xu Damao doubted Wang Lin, but rather that the treatment had been finished far too quickly.
"Take a look for yourself if you don't believe me."
With that, Wang Lin impatiently turned around and headed back home. Staying with a petty villain like Xu Damao could never compare to the joy of spending time with his three lovely wives.
Xu Damao sat up, lowered his gaze to check his lower body, and burst into laughter the moment he saw it.
"Hahahaha! I'm finally cured! Hahahaha!"
After laughing, Xu Damao cast a vicious glare in the direction of Wang Lin's house.
"Damn you, Wang Lin. Just you wait. I will never let you off easy."
Mutating these words under his breath, Xu Damao sneaked over to Liu Haizhong's house.
"Second Uncle, would you like to get a promotion and get rich?"
As soon as he stepped inside, Xu Damao dropped a bombshell that Liu Haizhong simply couldn't refuse.
"Oh? You have a way?"
Xu Damao smiled smugly.
"Of course."
Liu Haizhong pondered for a moment, looked at Xu Damao, and asked,
"Let's hear it."
"You know Lou Ban-cheng, don't you?"
Xu Damao countered with a question of his own.
"I know him. Wasn't our rolling mill originally his? And among Vice Director Wang's wives, one of them is his daughter."
Xu Damao's heart sank. He had assumed Liu Haizhong was clueless about Lou Xiaoe's background, but to his dismay, his entire plan was thwarted before he could even lay it out.
Lou Xiaoe should have been his prospective bride, and Chen Xueru was the goddess he could never attain; yet now, both belonged to Wang Lin. How could he not resent Wang Lin?
Bent on revenge, even knowing Liu Haizhong might refuse, Xu Damao refused to give up.
"Well, Lou Zhenghua has hidden quite a few small gold bars, large gold bars, and all sorts of antiques in his house. All those items are completely illegal. As long as you lead a raid on Lou Zhenghua's home, not only will you make a fortune, but it will also bring you immense political achievements. Won't getting a promotion and getting rich be a piece of cake after that?"
Liu Haizhong sneered inwardly upon hearing this.
He was no longer the fool he used to be. Even Director Li wouldn't dare to raid Lou Zhenghua's house. For a mere inspection team leader like him to mess with Lou Zhenghua would spell disaster.
"Second Uncle thanks you, Xu Damao. Rest assured, once Second Uncle gets his promotion and wealth, I will certainly not forget you," Liu Haizhong said with a beaming smile.
Looking at Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao felt a surge of joy, foolishly believing that Liu Haizhong had actually agreed, and began to mock him mentally.
"A fool is always a fool. First Workshop Director? Inspection Team leader? He's nothing more than an absolute idiot."
Despite looking down on Liu Haizhong in his heart, Xu Damao kept a wide smile on his face and said,
"Great! Then I wish Second Uncle a speedy rise to power right here and now."
With that, Xu Damao left Liu Haizhong's house with a broad grin.
Watching Xu Damao depart, Liu Haizhong wore a cold sneer and muttered to himself,
"Xu Damao, oh Xu Damao, you surely don't still think I'm the same old Liu Haizhong, do you?"
Without a moment's hesitation, Liu Haizhong decided to report Xu Damao's scheme to Wang Lin the very next day.
Over at the Red Star Affiliated Hospital, Jia Zhangshi completely ignored Qin Min on the hospital bed. At this moment, her entire world consisted solely of the little grandson in her arms.
"Hahahaha! I have a grandson! I have a grandson!"
"Mom, can I hold the baby for a moment?"
Qin Min had lost count of how many times she had asked this, but Jia Zhangshi merely glared at her with her triangular eyes and snapped viciously,
"What are you looking at? What if you hurt my precious grandson?"
With that, Jia Zhangshi went back to cooing over her good grandson.
As she played with him, Jia Zhangshi started brainstorming a name for her darling boy. After some thought, Bangeng's name was decided on this very day.
"From now on, my grandson will be called Jia Geng, with the nickname Bangeng."
Hearing the name Jia Zhangshi gave him, little Bangeng actually let out a chuckle.
Seeing the baby laugh, Jia Zhangshi became even more delighted.
Watching Jia Zhangshi's joyous expression, Qin Min's heart was filled with utter contempt.
"Fool, you actually think he's a child of the Jia family!"
Today, Xu Damao was happy, and both Jia Zhangshi and Qin Min were happy, but there was one person suffering absolute agony. That person was none other than Silly Zhu, who had lost his big treasure.
Inside a hospital ward, Silly Zhu stared blankly at his empty lower body, completely out of his mind.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? Heavens, what on earth did I do wrong? Why are you treating me this way?"
Watching the dazed Silly Zhu, Yi Zhonghai felt immense joy inside. With Silly Zhu ending up wifeless and childless, it would save him a tremendous amount of trouble.
