CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 429: DOG EAT DOG

Meng Qinghua immediately said resentfully to Meng Lingmei, "Let’s not go public for now. Going public would only result in Meng Jingfen being imprisoned and fined a modest sum. Although that could provide some satisfaction, it would bring no benefit to our family. It would be better to take this opportunity to demand more money. Meng Yajun is taking the college entrance exams this year, and I hear his grades are quite decent. Meng Jinhua and Fu Hongfang definitely won’t let Meng Jingfen go to prison and ruin Meng Yajun’s future prospects; they’ll surely compromise."

Everyone in Meng Qinghua’s household not only agreed but were also very excited.

It wasn’t their kidneys that had been harvested, so why not take advantage of the situation if they could gain something from it?

Meng Lingmei was willing as well.

The anonymous letter stated that Lin Fangwei, Wang Zhipeng, and Meng Jingfen had conspired together in this matter.

Revealing this would certainly gain her sympathy, but at the same time, she would be mocked for her stupidity...

How could she face anyone after this?

Yet, judging by her parents’ and siblings’ reactions, it seemed she would have little claim to the money they would extort...

How could that be acceptable?

Therefore, she declared, "That’s fine, but I must have one-third of whatever we get."

Having one older brother and one younger, she did not dare ask for half, only one-third.

Meng Qinghua’s initial reaction was to refuse, but considering that Meng Lingmei would need to play a part, asking for one-third was not unreasonable.

Besides, by agreeing now, he could always change his mind later. He nodded earnestly, "Alright. We’ll do as you say."

Meng Lingmei was not afraid of Meng Qinghua reneging.

If pushed too far, she would threaten them, declaring her intention to expose Meng Jingfen, and if she truly did, Meng Jingfen might counter-accuse them of extortion. She was confident they would fulfill their promise then.

However, they needed to join forces now for support, so she left the harsh words unspoken.

Meng Qinghua immediately brought his men and two sons to Hai City.

After meeting with Meng Lingmei, they rested briefly, ate something, and discussed their plan before heading to Meng Jinhua’s home with great momentum.

Unfortunately, just as they arrived, just as they had clarified their intentions with Meng Jinhua, Fu Hongfang, and Meng Yajun, who had just finished his exams yesterday and was resting at home today, Meng Jingfen returned home humming a tune.

Had Meng Jingfen not been so cheerful, Meng Lingmei would not have been so enraged.

Now, Meng Jingfen’s merry song instantly ignited all of Meng Lingmei’s fury. She strode forward, seized Meng Jingfen’s shawl-wrapped hair, and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks.

Although she had undergone a kidney removal surgery, her recovery was surprisingly smooth. This was also why Wang Zhipeng eventually could not resist marrying her.

Some became nearly disabled after such surgery, yet she seemed as if nothing had happened.

She had always been diligent, possessing quite the stamina. In contrast, Meng Jingfen had always been lazy and pampered, barely able to put up a fight and offering no resistance.

Meng Jinhua and Fu Hongfang naturally couldn’t stand by and watch her being beaten and hurriedly intervened to rescue her.

Meng Qinghua signaled with his eyes and also led his family into the fray.

The only person not joining in was Meng Yajun, who stood morosely in a corner, watching with cold eyes.

He was furious.

When they told him about Meng Jingfen stealing organs, he had been extremely agitated.

He had felt very confident about his exams this time, believing he had a strong chance of getting into a top university in the country.

Even if his performance hadn’t been as good as he thought, Hai University was surely within reach.

His future had seemed secure.

But now, with a criminal sister like Meng Jingfen, what university would accept him?

Well, not just university. From now on, he would be considered inferior in whatever he did...

He looked at the noisy crowd, their ugly antics, and with a resolute heart, turned to pack his bags.

He had made up his mind. He was leaving immediately, right now, to go work in Imperial.

If Meng Jingfen’s matter could be kept quiet, he would just start school as planned. If he couldn’t go to university, he wouldn’t come back here either.
