"What nonsense are you talking about! I met the partner with Director Wen for that money!"
"Did the collaboration succeed?"
"Although the collaboration didn't succeed, I put in a lot of effort and ran around a lot for this! Director Wen knows that!"
"He certainly knows, he knows that you even took a beating for him, got hit all over. So he thinks you don't even care about your own life, fighting for his cause!"
"Heh heh. Now you know, don't you? Our friendship is not something you can meddle with!" Mingzai was clearly very angry.
Hearing these words, Director Wen felt a bit annoyed. How could he have doubted his brother, who had been through life and death with him?
Even if this Dr. Wen is incredibly skilled, he still can't doubt his own brother!
"I really can't provoke you. After all, I wouldn't have the heart to let someone beat you up so badly! Getting a new house in exchange for a beating, you're a business genius!"
[Why do I feel so confused listening to this? From what he's saying, it sounds like a life-and-death friendship, right? But why does it feel like there's more to the story when I hear it from Dr. Wen?]
[Upstairs, you are not alone! Behind you are thousands and thousands of teammates who are just as confused as you are!]
[Anyway, I just feel that there must be some twist we haven't thought of! Dr. Wen has never let us down in this regard!]
"After all, you spent two thousand yuan on this! Each of the people who hit you got five hundred, right? And there were even your relatives involved, truly keeping the benefits within the family. This business is really, really, really too cost-effective!"
"You got a house and a sucker who's eternally grateful to you. Isn't that awesome? You're practically the protagonist of a feel-good story!"
Director Wen was utterly confused by the series of twists and turns, his mind a complete mess!
"Wait a minute! Dr. Wen, did you just say that Mingzai being beaten was his own plan?"
It seems you haven't completely lost your mind yet.
"He orchestrated someone to hit him just to make me believe that he was truly willing to risk his life for me?"
Director Wen's expression was three parts shock, three parts confusion, and the remaining four parts were on the verge of going crazy!
"But later he..."
"Fellow patient, people say you're foolish, but you're not really foolish. So how did you end up counting money for someone who sold you out? You feel very touched because he later helped you borrow twenty thousand yuan from a friend for an emergency, right?"
Director Wen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Indeed, it was like that. When he needed money to get by, Mingzai helped without a second thought, borrowing from friends. Although it was only twenty thousand yuan, the gesture was priceless!
"Dr. Wen, this money can't be fake, right?"
"Of course the money isn't fake!" Wen Ying replied with a smile. "It's just that the money was yours to begin with! He lent you your own money and then charged you interest. Do you think that could be fake? This is clearly real money!"
At this point, everyone in the live stream inexplicably detected a tone of exasperated disappointment in Dr. Wen's voice.
This was a live broadcast and voice chat with a distinct flavor.
"My money?" Director Wen was puzzled by these words.
[So this story is an endlessly twisting tale?]
[Curious how rich this director really is, to have people constantly trying to scam him?]
[Director Wen, do you still need a brother? I only cheat for money, never for lives!]
"Did you give fifty thousand yuan to your brother?"
Director Wen nodded, "It seems there was such a thing. At that time, he had a very good business opportunity, with a return rate of about three hundred percent! One of his friends made over a hundred thousand, so I invested a hundred thousand, planning to use the profit to produce a variety show. And Ming said that if there were any losses, he would cover them."
"Did he come out?"
Director Wen shook his head apologetically, "Mingzai has sacrificed a lot for this. How could I let him pay for it? He invested and lost as well. As his brother, how could I watch him fall into despair?"
[Goodness! It feels like this is a game that can infinitely nest within itself!]
[So Director Wen is just this endlessly exploited kid?]
[Full marks for comprehension upstairs! Here's a brother like Mingzai for you!]
[No, no, no! I was wrong! I earn five thousand a month, with elders to support and children to raise. I can't afford to take care of you, brother! Look how heartbroken I am!]
"Yes, because he got beaten up again, and this time it was about the same as the last. It reminded you of that period when you felt you should be grateful to him and guilty for him. So not only did you refuse to let him pay, but you even covered over a thousand in medical and nutrition expenses for him."
[Insert advertisement! For martial arts training, come to Shaolin Temple! With walls of steel, you won't fear pain! It's your top choice for making money!]
"Wen, if you keep listening to this woman trying to drive a wedge between us, I'll leave right now! Our brotherhood ends here!"
Director Wen was stunned.
"But didn't we agree before we came that we would find a way to persuade Dr. Wen to join our variety show? If you leave now, how are we supposed to do that?"
"Of course, he doesn't want your variety show to succeed! Or rather, it should be his variety show that succeeds, right? Isn't that so, my friend, this brother of yours with whom you share a life-and-death bond?"
"Don't leave, brother! If you go, how will this play continue? Or, would you like to become my patient too?" Wen Ying looked at Ming Zai, who was about to leave, and hurriedly shouted.
Mingzai was really about to explode, but at this moment, he felt more fear than anything else!
These things were only known to his relatives, so how did this female internet celebrity find out?
You even explained it so clearly!
It even seems like they know about this variety show. If this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Ming, you can't leave," Director Wen finally spoke.
Looking at Ming Zai with a somewhat serious expression.
"I don't want to be your brother anymore. I want to leave. Can you stop me?"
Mingzai obviously didn't intend to maintain this situation any longer.
"My fellow patients certainly couldn't stop you, but the law and justice can stop you, oh yes they can~" Wen Ying even started to sing, "Just a friendly reminder, do you think your actions count as fraud, fraud, fraud?"
[What the heck! I was just thinking this person is so bad, rotten to the core! I really didn't expect this to be a crime!]
[I'm just like the person upstairs, I was thinking that this director is really unlucky to have such a brother! Now it seems, this is outright fraud!]
[So, what happened to every scammer who came to Dr. Wen's live broadcast room in the end?]
Mingzi's face instantly turned deathly pale upon hearing those words!
"Just because you say I'm committing fraud, does that make it true? Maybe you're the one planning a scam here to deceive him!"
"Wow~ So in your eyes, the patient has always been a fool and a sucker who can be deceived anytime, anywhere? Congratulations! Your answer is correct!"
Director Wen, "..."
He's still here, you know. Could everyone please consider his feelings?
