Chapter 29 behind the Gifts


    Yank Wood, who came out of the hall, came to a remote ce and looked around. After making sure


    that no one was around, he took out his mobile phone and called Ellie. "It''s me. What''s the matter?"


    "Mr. Wood, there''s a price on your head, but the name is Yank Wood."


    Ellie adjusted her sses and identally heard the news. Although she knew that her boss did not


    need to worry, she still came to remind him in order to be safe.


    "Oh, then do you find out who posted it?" Yank Wood was a little concerned when he heard that.


    It seemed that she had long thought that Yank Wood would ask such a question, so she replied directly,


    "I''m sorry, boss. You know the rules. I don''t have the authority to investigate the organizers, but I''m


    sure they''re from Band."


    "Well, I know. Is there anything else?" Yank Wood nodded, and several people appeared in his mind.


    Ellie continued in a calm tone, "Yes, Malvin Lee has already fallen into our trap. The Moonlight Group is


    now ours. I''d like to ask you, Mr. Wood, if you want him to go bankrupt or work for us?"


    Yank Wood was stunned by her words and said tly, "Ellie, tell me your thoughts directly."


    On the other side of the phone, Ellie was not surprised because she had followed Yank Wood for a


    long time and knew each other well.


    "It''s like this. After all, you have to stay in Band for a long time. I think with apany as a cover, it


    will be much easier for you to spend money on your work, and it can also reduce the Winbury


    government''s vignce."


    Yank Wood thought for a while and felt that it made sense. If he often asked the House family to


    transfer money to him, he would be easily monitored by the government if he had too much money.


    Although he had the help of the Mike Group, it was far from enough to fight against Austin Long in


    Band.


    "Well, we''ll do as you say and finish the tasks. Just let me know when the timees."


    After hanging up the phone, Yank Wood''s deep eyes became gentle again. He returned to the hall as if


    nothing had happened. Everyone was still arguing about the gifts just now.


    He was about to sit back next to Lucy Long, but someone stopped him.


    His name was Jack Long, the son of his eldest uncle, Ted Long. He was particrly dissatisfied with


    Austin Long''s only doting on Lucy Long, but he did not dare bully her openly, so he transferred all his


    resentment to Yank Wood.


    "Yank Wood, don''t rush back." Jack Long stopped Yank Wood and said with a smile, "I heard that you


    haven''t had a job yet. Thepany is short of a guard and a toilet cleaner. Which one are you willing


    to do?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst intoughter.


    "Jack, what are you talking about? How can our sister''s husband do such a low-level job?"


    "Yeah, Jack, are you kidding? Yank Wood is a man with great ambitions!"


    "Haha, we envy him so much. There are people who raise him without work."

    In the face of these people''s ridicule, Yank Wood had long been used to it. He looked at Jack Long''s


    proud face and said, "Jack Long, thank you for your kindness. But as you said, eating and waiting for


    death is my ambition, so I don''t want to go out to work for the time being."


    His words were sincere and loud. The noisy hall suddenly became quiet.


    Everyone looked at Yank Wood in disbelief. They had never seen anyone rely on a woman for financial


    support so seriously. They thought that they couldugh at Yank Wood, but now their faces turned ugly.


    Jack Long''s face was a little choked. He had underestimated Yank Wood''s courage, but he didn''t


    expect that he couldn''t stimte him even in this way.


    "Well, don''t say too much. Everyone has their own aspirations, so let''s not force Yank Wood. Our Long


    Family can still afford him." Austin Long stopped them.


    But everyone knew that although it seemed that he was helping Yank Wood, in fact, he was secretly


    mocking Yank Wood for not asking for progress.


    Yank Wood took a meaningful look at Austin Long without any gratitude. He sat back next to Lucy Long


    with a calm face. As soon as he sat down, he was red at by her.


    "Grandpa is speaking up for you. At least you should say something!" Lucy Long said with some


    displeasure.


    Yank Wood smiled and said in a low voice, "Do you think he has any good intentions? Just wait and


    see. He will definitely send me to find out why the three families came to send gifts at the same time!"


    Hearing this, Lucy Long''s heart was full of disdain. She said angrily, "Who do you think you are? You


    can even guess grandpa''s thoughts!"


    This guy not only humiliated her but also had a self-righteous face. He was really annoying.


    At this time, Ted Long, who was next to Austin Long, said, "Father, I think it''s too strange for these


    three families toe together to give gifts.


    We can''t just think that these three families are going to propose marriage to the Long family. We have


    to be on guard against them joining forces to deal with the Long family."


    "I suggest that we send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. After we figure out the reason,


    we will make corresponding arrangements."


    Jack Long immediately understood his father''s words and immediately stepped forward, "Father, you''re


    right. Our Long Family is a big family, so we must prepare for the future, so it''s necessary to investigate


    this matter."


    The father-and-son pair''s singing, together with their performance, immediately won the approval of


    others.


    "Well, it makes sense. Then, who would like to volunteer to take up this task?" Austin Long nodded and


    agreed with this suggestion. He immediately nced at the people present.


    Someone suddenly mentioned, "I think this task should be handed over to Yank Wood. We all have


    something to do, unlike him who is very idle."


    This proposal was directly weed, and everyone agreed.


    Austin Long took the opportunity to look at Yank Wood, who was silent in his seat, and said, "Yank


    Wood, I''ll leave this task to you. Is there a problem?"


    Hearing this, Yank Wood couldn''t help but sneer and looked at everyone with deep eyes. "No problem,


    how dare I ask any questions? You just want me to offend the three families, don''t you?"


    "Pa!" Jack Long mmed the table.


    "Yank Wood, what do you mean by that? The Long Family gave you food and clothes now. You are the


    son-inw of the Long Family. The Long Family asked you to do such a small thing, and you just have


    this attitude?"


    Jack Long looked at Yank Wood with an angry face, but in fact, he was very happy. He didn''t expect


    that Yank Wood would hit the gun himself.


    "Oh, then you have a good attitude. You can do it!" Yank Wood said indifferently.


    Jack Long was stunned, but soon he said confidently, "Don''t push it to others. This is a task given to


    you by our family. You mustplete it."


    Then he sneered, "As the idlest person in our Long family."


    As Yank Wood said, this task seemed simple on the surface, but in fact, it was veryplicated. If one


    was not careful, they would be enemies with the three families. Only such a fool would


    agree.
