Chapter 2542 You're Just a Useless Pawn
Chapter 2542
"It's a pity that I spent so much effort and 10 years to push you to this position, yet you haven't even grasped the basics. What use are you to me?"
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Qiao Zhendong sat there blankly, his mind filled with the last words of that voice, especially the phrase "What use are you?" which kept echoing in his head.
When Qiao Ya and Hai Jing returned and met up with Grandpa Qiao, and they came to find Qiao Zhendong, Qiao Zhendong was still sitting there blankly.
The eyes have lost focus.
Hearing someone call his name, he looked up at the person.
A moment later he grinned and chuckled, then burst into maniacal laughter.
Grandpa Qiao frowned and said, "Has he gone mad?"
"Or are they deliberately playing dumb, trying to deceive us and get away with it?"
Hai Jing pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Is he really crazy? Why don't we just take him to the hospital for a checkup?"
Qiao Ya nodded and said, "I think it's a good idea, but I don't know if the hospital can detect it. If it really can't, then let's put him in a mental hospital!"
"From now on, I'll be living and eating with those lunatics there."
The two chatted back and forth, but Qiao Zhendong remained in a daze.
It's as if he's really gone mad, completely oblivious to what's happening around him.
at this time.
A servant came in to report, "Jiang Wan has arrived."
Upon hearing that it was Jiang Wan, the old man hurriedly ordered, "Let her in."
Not long after, Jiang Wan brought Xiao Ye in, and as soon as they entered, they saw Qiao Zhendong looking dazed and confused.
Jiang Wan frowned and glanced at him, asking, "Are you so angry you've gone mad?"
"Who knows," Joa said. "He was like this when we came in. I suspect he's faking it, but I don't have any proof yet."
"I was just thinking of sending him to a mental hospital so he could be subjected to all the whipping and torture methods they have."
"Especially that electric chair, I heard that when you get an electric shock, your whole body feels tingly and it's very comfortable."
As Qiao Ya spoke, her eyes held a malicious glint in them. She stared intently at Qiao Zhendong, wanting to see if he would show any different emotions.
That way we'll know if he's really gone mad!
Unfortunately, Joa's plan backfired.
Qiao Zhendong still looked the same foolish and dazed person, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Wan looked at it and smiled. She said, "Actually, I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble."
Qiao Ya looked at her suspiciously, and Jiang Wan said, "Is Qiao Zhendong no longer of any use to the Qiao family?"
Qiao Ya nodded: "It's no use anymore. Anyway, he's gone mad now, and someone will naturally take his place."
"Grandpa will help me take control of the Qiao family."
“If something happens to him, Qiao Xinran won’t escape either; she’ll be the next one to be dealt with.”
Jiang Wan snapped her fingers and said, "That makes things much easier!"
“I heard that the mental hospital recently started a new project.”
"It seems there's a very famous psychiatrist abroad who suggested cutting off a piece of the frontal lobe from the brain."
"This person will be dull and stupid, a fool for life, and will never hurt anyone again."
"We will not do anything excessive again."
"This is the best treatment for those mentally ill people with violent tendencies, and it also prevents their families from losing control and causing them to go out and hurt others."
"However, the result of doing this is that his IQ will completely regress to that of a child, and he will be unable to do anything except take care of his own life."
Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, Qiao Ya's eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"
"Is there really such a surgery that only requires a minor procedure?"
Jiang Wan nodded: "Yes."
"There's no need to open up the skull; just make an incision on the head and remove the cartilage from the temple."
"Then we can use something like a robotic arm to probe into the brain and cut off a part of the frontal lobe."
Jiang Wan's statement wasn't entirely accurate; she had actually heard of similar cases while watching the news in her previous life.
Some very wealthy people have had this surgery performed privately to get back at their enemies or to punish someone.
It was later discovered by the police and even made the news.
Jiang Wan had no idea how exactly it was done.
But it doesn't matter, she can make it up. Anyway, these people don't understand. She can make it up, and it doesn't matter whether others believe it or not, as long as Qiao Zhendong believes it.
Sure enough, after hearing her explanation, Qiao Ya clapped his hands in agreement and hurriedly turned to Grandpa Qiao, saying:
"Make arrangements, make arrangements now. If it can't be done here, send my dad to the United States. The medical field there is very advanced. I guarantee he'll be alive after the surgery."
Old Master Qiao stroked his chin and said, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs, I can't really kill my own son."
"This is the best way to punish him. He won't die, but he'll never cause us any more trouble again."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
After Grandpa Qiao and Qiao Ya made the decision, Qiao Zhendong, who had been sitting on the ground pretending to be stupid, couldn't stand it anymore.
She slowly raised her head, looked at Qiao Ya and Grandpa Qiao, and said, "No matter what, we're all family. Do you have to be so heartless?"
"Are you really that happy to turn me into an idiot?"
Qiao Ya turned around, crossed her arms, and said with a smile, "Why aren't you acting anymore?"
Qiao Zhendong pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time before saying, "The victor is king, the loser is villain. I lost this round."
"But I'm still a member of the Qiao family. Please don't perform this kind of surgery on me. At worst, I'll just stay away from the center of power and retire in the countryside, is that alright?"
Seeing that Qiao Zhendong was no longer pretending to be stupid, Jiang Wan didn't want to say anything more about the Qiao family's affairs.
So she waved to Ono, signaling him to come and sit with her. The two sat on the sofa next to her, munching on fruit and chatting over tea.
They completely disregarded the tense situation on the other side!
Qiao Ya looked at Qiao Zhendong with a serious expression, and after a long while, she chuckled: "You call yourself a member of the Qiao family, but you are not a member of the Qiao family at all."
"You're not my father either, do you think I don't know that?"
Qiao Zhendong was shocked when she said that.
He asked incredulously, "How did you know?"
Hai Jing sighed and said:
"I'm very curious, how did you manage to sit in the position of the head of the Qiao family for 10 years without being thrown off?"
"So stupid, yet they don't even realize it."
"You think you've arranged everything perfectly so we can't find out?"
“Actually, we have investigated all your secrets thoroughly. Even if Qiao Ya can’t find out, there’s still me. I have China behind me. Do you think the people of China are stupid?”
