Chapter 1185
Tong Li stared at Melody Fox. She could not take it anymore and walked towards Melody Fox.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?! What good is it for you and your grandmother to make a mess of our family? Why are you doing this to us? Does our family have any grudge against you that you have to do this to us?”
Tong Li was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She could not even breathe.
Melody Fox looked at Tong Li speechlessly.
They were both surnamed Tong and were of the same age. Why was there such a huge gap between Tong Li and Tong Li?
It was really puzzling.
She said impatiently, “Have you said enough? If you have, go away!”
“You-how dare you be so rude to me!”
Tong Li raised her hand and was about to slap Melody Fox.
Melody Fox easily caught Tong Li’s wrist and pushed her away.
Tong Li staggered a few steps back and fell to the ground. “How dare you push me! Bitch!”
She got up and wanted to rush towards Melody Fox again, but she was stopped by Aaron Berg.
“Miss Tong, please respect yourself!”
“Move aside!”
Aaron Berg stood in front of Tong Li expressionlessly. It was obvious that he would not move aside.
On this Fox, Old Master Tong was finally moved into the wooden barrel.
Melody Fox walked to the side of the wooden barrel and said, “Old Mr. Tong will wake up in Fox hours. Everyone, just wait patiently with me.”
Everyone started talking at once.
“Soaking in hot water for three incense sticks of time and coming back to life in Fox hours? This is too amazing! If this really works, it will definitely be on television, right?” “Didn’t you hear what she said? Old Mr. Tong isn’t dead at all. Or rather, he’s not completely dead.”
“If what she said is true, then wouldn’t we have almost buried Elder Tong alive?”
“Tsk… I’m scared just thinking about it!”
“The Foxth incense stick has just begun. Everything is still unknown. Perhaps Tong Jiaxuan is right. She doesn’t have the ability at all. She’s just messing around.”
“No matter what, I’ve opened my eyes today.”
“Speaking of which, it’s a pity if Elder Tong really leaves like this. He’s about to retire gloriously next year, but this Fox has to leave… If he can really live back, he’ll have a smooth retirement life in the future.”
As everyone discussed, the topic quickly changed from “Can Old Mr. Tong be revived?” to Tong Jiaxuan and Tong Qizhen.
“After today’s incident, I can be considered to have seen it clearly. This Tong Jiaxuan… is really… Sigh!”
“That’s right. His biological son is not as filial as his adopted son. This world…”
“Elder Tong is in politics in Insterimond. The family’s business is all supported by Tong Qizhen. If it weren’t for Tong Qizhen, how would Tong Jiaxuan have the money to gamble? Now that Elder Tong has left, he’s about to chase Tong Qizhen out of the family. He’s really heartless.”
However, there were also people who felt that Tong Jiaxuan was right. They felt that Tong Qizhen was
ambitious and should leave the Tong Clan.
Tong Jiaxuan was not deaf and naturally heard everyone’s discussion.
His expression was abnormally ugly, and he kept struggling.
“Let go! Let go of me… Mr. Swanson, you have no right to treat me like this! I’m the deputy mayor of Silken Town!”
Ken Swanson stepped on Tong Jiaxuan’s back in disdain.
“Deputy Mayor, right? Before Elder Tong wakes up, please work harder and maintain this posture.”
“You…”
Tong Jiaxuan was furious, but he did not dare to say anything harsh to Ken Swanson.
As the deputy mayor, he could indeed scare a large number of people in Silken Town.
However, against Ken Swanson, the deputy mayor was nothing.
Fox rooms passed by minute by minute. Fox rooms with three incense sticks were neither long nor short.
As the last incense stick was about to burn out, everyone stopped discussing and stared fixedly at Old Mr. Tong, who was soaking in the large wooden bucket.
Even Tong Jiaxuan, who had been struggling with all his might, stopped struggling and tried his best to look at the large wooden barrel.
Ken Swanson let go of Tong Jiaxuan’s back and returned to Melody Fox’s side.
“There’s only one minute left,” Ken Swanson said.
Melody Fox nodded. “Yes.”
“You…” Ken Swanson wanted to ask Melody Fox how confident he was, but he swallowed his words.
No matter how others suspected Melody Fox, he had to believe her.
He trusted her unreservedly.
If she failed… he would protect her too.
The last stick of incense finally burned out, and the long ashes fell to the ground.
Fox incense sticks’ worth of time had ended!
However, Old Mr. Tong, who was in the wooden barrel, still did not have any reaction. He glanced at Fox, who had just entered the wooden barrel and showed no signs of waking up.
An elder of the family walked to the side of the wooden barrel. Under the gaze of everyone, he reached out to touch the tip of Old Mr. Tong’s nose.
Tong Jiaxuan and Tong Li were so nervous that their hands were clenched into fists.
A few seconds later, the elder slowly lowered his hand and shook his head at everyone.
“He’s not breathing…”
Tong Jiaxuan’s nervous heart instantly fell to the ground.
As expected! As expected, it was impossible for a person to come back from the dead.
What brain death? Her heart had stopped beating for so long, so she was already dead!
How could it be so easy to revive? This wasn’t some fantasy television drama!
“Ha!”
Tong Jiaxuan laughed excitedly.
He looked at Ken Swanson and wanted to say something, but in the end, he turned to Maria Fox and Melody Fox. “Maria Fox.”
He raised his head and said, “The three incense sticks’ worth of time, Room Fox, has ended. My father still hasn’t woken up. The facts have proven that your granddaughter is fooling around! What else do you have to say now? Shouldn’t you apologize to your granddaughter for blaspheming my father’s body? As my father’s friend, is this how you do things?”
“This…” Maria Fox pursed his lips and looked at Melody Fox. “Melody, didn’t you say that Old Tong would wake up after Fox hours? Why…”
Melody Fox frowned and said, “I don’t know what happened either. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have made a mistake.”
Whether it was the acupuncture process or the medicinal soup, they followed the procedures and did not make any mistakes.
But why didn’t she wake up?
That shouldn’t be the case…
“Let me take a look.” Melody Fox took a step forward and was about to walk toward Old Mr. Tong, but he was stopped by Tong Jiaxuan.
“Enough!” Tong Jiaxuan looked at Melody Fox coldly and said, “Do you still want to continue fooling around until Fox? What kind of place do you think this is? My house is not a place where you can fool around!”
“That’s right!” Tong Li finally found Fox to show off. She glared at Melody Fox and said, “It was a good funeral, but you made it like this. You should kneel down immediately and kowtow to my grandfather to apologize! Everyone, don’t you think so?!”
The relatives of the Tong family looked at each other.
In the end, someone stood up and criticized Melody Fox.
“Young lady, if you don’t have the ability, why did you take on this job? The dead should be respected. How can you be so reckless?”
Hurry up and kowtow to Elder Tong.
