Chapter 2779 - 2779 2799


2779 2799


just as the crowd was in a heated discussion, a series of heavy coughs suddenly came from the direction of the door.


the room was silent for a second.


everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the door.


as expected, he saw old master qi slowly walking in with his walking stick.

!!

although everyone had come over with their own thoughts, they still had to give old master qi some face and the noisy discussion finally stopped.


old master qi sat down in the middle seat, looked around, and nodded in satisfaction.


“everyone’s here. i’m very grateful to everyone for giving me face and being willing to come over today.”


“i’m sure you’ve all guessed the reason why i’ve invited everyone here today, right?”


old master qi was met with silence.


after a long while, someone said, ” “old master qi, we’re all on the same side this time, so i’ll be frank. we all know that you’ve been friends with mr. fu for many years, and we can’t bear to see the fu family fall just like that. but in this situation, everyone knows that you can’t protect the fu family at all. you might even get yourself killed!”


hearing this, old master qi’s face darkened, and he rapped his walking stick on the ground.


“old yu, you’re feeling guilty by saying this! how much did jingxuan help the yu family before he got into trouble? why didn’t you know how to avoid suspicion at that time? now that the fu family is in trouble, you can’t wait to clear your name? can you live up to your conscience?”


a trace of guilt flashed across the old man’s face, but he quickly regained his spirit and retorted,”old master qi, it’s not that i’m ungrateful, but if mr. fu was still alive, or if young master fu hadn’t been arrested, i’d definitely follow them to the end! but you’ve seen the situation now. the fu family doesn’t even have a leader. what’s the point of us messing around on our own?”


old yu’s words were straightforward, and it resonated with many people.


the room was filled with discussion again.


“that’s right, old master qi. we don’t know what’s going on. we can’t just do whatever we want, can we? then, other than losing yourself, there’s no benefit at all?”


“we’re not going to betray mr. fu now, we’re going to preserve our strength. if young master fu really can’t come out, at least our families can still take care of the fu family’s relatives. otherwise, the fu family will only be worse off.”


“besides, i’ve already advised mr. fu when he implemented that rule. something will definitely happen if he insists on doing it! but he refused to listen! we also have an entire family behind us. we can’t just leave our family behind, right?”


“old master qi, i think it’s better to forget about this. we won’t betray the fu family and tell sun bin, but we can’t do more for the fu family. you too, think more about your family!”


“you … you people are simply fence sitters! back then, mr. fu trusted you so much. now that something has happened to him, you’ve changed your att.i.tude immediately?”


” shameless, you’re too shameless. how can you say such things! ”


among the negative comments, some people firmly expressed that they would continue to support the fu family. no matter how difficult the situation was, they would do their best to save the people.


but unfortunately, this group of people was still too small. most people were still selfish, and even more people were inclined to protect themselves.
