Chapter 2064 You seem quite disappointed.

The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two figures at the door.

"Are you so sure I won't wake up, or are you actually hoping I won't wake up?"

A cold, sharp voice came from the mouth of a person at the door.

Wu Tianpeng suddenly stood up, exclaiming with a mixture of surprise and excitement, "Dad? You're awake?"

Standing at the door were Wu Taishan and Wu Tianding.

Wu Tianhe's expression changed, and he stood up nervously.

The seven elders, including Wu Guangming and Wu Zhengfeng, also stood up and asked in unison, "Clan leader? Are you... alright?"

Wu Taishan glanced coldly at everyone in the ancestral hall and slowly walked in.

Everyone felt a powerful aura, giving them a sense of overwhelming pressure.

These people, taking advantage of the clan chief's serious illness, initiated a meeting at the ancestral hall, which was already against the rules.

The clan chief's sudden appearance in the ancestral hall made everyone present feel uneasy.

"Dad...you...are you alright?"

Wu Tianhe's back was covered in cold sweat. He dared not look Wu Taishan in the eye, and lowered his head slightly, speaking somewhat nervously.

Wu Taishan stood in front of him, his cold, sharp gaze falling on him like a blade.

Wu Tianhe immediately felt uncomfortable and quickly moved two steps to the side to make room for the seat behind him.

Wu Taishan said nothing, but looked up at the nine incense sticks still burning in the incense burner, then slowly stretched out his left hand and said in a deep voice, "Tian Ding, light a few incense sticks."

Wu Tianding quickly agreed, went to the side to fetch nine incense sticks, lit them on the candle, and respectfully handed them to Wu Taishan.

Wu Taishan lit nine incense sticks and slowly knelt on the prayer mat.

Upon seeing this, the seven elders, including Wu Guangming and Wu Zhengfeng, all knelt down.

Wu Tianpeng also knelt down, his face full of piety.

Wu Tianhu, Wu Tianbao, and the others looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Wu Tianhe.

At this moment, Wu Tianhe was extremely agitated, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

Wu Taishan's sudden arrival caught him off guard.

All his plans vanished in an instant.

Moreover, it's easy to imagine that he will certainly bear the brunt of Wu Taishan's anger.

For many years, Wu Taishan has remained tight-lipped about the matter of the clan chief's successor, as if it had become a taboo subject for him.

But Wu Taishan just saw Wu Tianhe sitting in the clan leader's chair, which he considered an overstepping of his authority!

The key issue was that he couldn't understand why Wu Taishan had suddenly woken up. Moreover, he seemed perfectly fine.

What exactly happened in all of this, and did Wu Taishan know everything?

"Big brother, kneel down now!"

Wu Tianpeng reminded him in a low voice.

Wu Tianhe was jolted awake from his dream and quickly knelt down.

Wu Tianhu and the others quickly knelt down as well.

"Ancestors of the Wu family above, your unworthy descendant Wu Taishan respectfully offers incense and begs for your protection..."

After everyone knelt down, Wu Taishan began to pray to the ancestral tablets.

He spoke at length for several minutes before finally offering incense and bowing in worship.

After nine incense sticks were lit, he slowly stood up with Wu Tianding's help and personally placed the nine incense sticks into the incense burner.

He then slowly turned around, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Close the door!"

The disciples at the entrance immediately closed the ancestral hall gate, cutting off the crowd outside.

"All sit down."

After the gate closed, Wu Taishan slowly sat down and spoke to Wu Guangming and the others.

The seven elders, including Wu Guangming and Wu Zhengfeng, bowed to him before taking their seats in turn.

Wu Tianhe and his seven brothers sat down one after another, their hearts filled with trepidation.

However, there were only so many chairs in the ancestral hall, and Wu Tianding still stood.

Wu Taishan said calmly, "Tian Ding, stand next to me."

Compared to his initial coldness, his tone was much gentler now.

Wu Tianhe's cheek twitched, and a hint of ruthlessness and resentment flashed in his eyes.

However, he didn't dare to look up at this moment, sitting there with his head slightly bowed, appearing very proper.

Wu Tianding hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and stood next to Wu Taishan.

The air inside the ancestral hall was very oppressive, even somewhat stuffy.

"Don't you want to know what illness I have and how I woke up?"

After glancing around, Wu Taishan slowly spoke.

His tone was calm, but it naturally carried the authority of someone in a superior position.

Wu Guangming said, "Congratulations, Clan Chief, on your recovery from a serious illness. We visited you in the hospital and consulted with the specialists. However, they were vague about your condition and couldn't give us a precise answer. They only told us that you had multiple organ failure and didn't have much time left..."

"But now it seems that those so-called experts were actually quacks!"

Wu Taishan said "Oh," and asked, "Is that really what the hospital's experts said?"

Wu Tianhu said, "Dad, that's exactly what they said, and they even said you wouldn't make it through the year... I think they're just talking nonsense. I'm going to the hospital later to demand an explanation!"

Wu Taishan smirked coldly. "So, none of you know what disease I have?"

Everyone shook their heads blankly, indicating that they did not know.

Wu Taishan's gaze turned cold as it fell on Wu Tianhe. "Tianhe, you don't know either?"

Wu Tianhe's body trembled almost imperceptibly as he respectfully said, "We only believed the hospital's side of the story and were truly unaware of my father's condition. Fortunately, my father is alright; otherwise, those quack doctors would deserve to die a thousand deaths."

Wu Taishan suddenly laughed and leaned back in his chair, seemingly quite relaxed. He said to Wu Tianding, "Tianding, do you know?"

Wu Tianding's expression turned solemn, and he bowed slightly, saying, "I didn't know at first either, because after Father fell seriously ill, my seven older brothers wouldn't let me visit you, fearing that I would affect your recovery. I only learned a little about your condition by asking others."

“However, I now understand that you were not sick at all, Father.”

"You're not sick at all?"

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm pond, creating ripples.

Wu Guangming, Wu Zhengfeng, and the others looked at each other, clearly finding Wu Tianding's words unbelievable.

"Wu Tianding, you can't just say things like that!" Wu Tianying seemed a little anxious. "If Father isn't sick, why is he in a coma? Besides, so many experts have diagnosed Father as seriously ill. Are you saying your medical skills are better than those experts'?"

Wu Taishan's sharp gaze immediately fell on Wu Tianying, and he said in a deep voice, "Tianying, I'm not sick. You seem very disappointed?"

Wu Tianying was taken aback and quickly said, "No... Dad, I'm happy that you're not sick. However, I'm afraid that Wu Tianding's words might lead to a misjudgment and delay your next treatment."

"Really? You're quite the filial son," Wu Taishan said casually.

Wu Zhengfeng asked with some curiosity, "Tian Ding, if the clan leader isn't sick, why is he in a coma? And why did the hospital experts make the diagnosis that he is seriously ill?"

Wu Tianding breathed a sigh of relief and slowly said, "Father is not sick, but he has been poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

The entire audience erupted again, everyone looking on incredulously.

Wu Tianhe and Wu Tianying's eyes flickered simultaneously, and after exchanging a glance, they lowered their heads.

"How could it be poisoning?" Wu Zhengfeng asked in astonishment.

Wu Tianding said with certainty, "It's poisoning! That's what a miracle doctor diagnosed. Moreover, the reason my father was able to wake up was because he took the antidote given by that miracle doctor. The hospital has already taken my father's vomit for testing, and I believe we'll have the results soon."

Seeing how certain he was, the seven elders, including Wu Guangming and Wu Zhengfeng, were all stunned.

Wu Tianpeng suddenly said, "How could Dad be poisoned?"

Wu Tianjing also said incredulously, "Yes, how could Dad be poisoned?"

Wu Taishan's gaze fell on Wu Tianhe, and he asked calmly, "Tianhe, what do you think? How could I have been poisoned?"

Wu Tianhe was startled and quickly said, "Dad, what do you mean? I... I don't know either! I just remember that you collapsed on the roadside after you went for a walk after dinner that night... When I got the call, you had already been taken to the hospital..."

Wu Taishan smiled coldly, "Really? You really don't know?"

Wu Tianhe felt his whole body almost soaked in sweat and shook his head, saying, "I really don't know."

"What about that eagle? Don't you know either?"

Wu Taishan then looked at Wu Tianying and asked coldly.

Wu Tianying trembled, glanced instinctively at Wu Tianhe, and said nervously, "Dad, I...I don't know either..."

Wu Taishan slammed his right hand on the armrest of the chair and said coldly, "Good, good! You really are my good sons!"
