Chapter 73 Greed 16 Uncle Zhou, have a safe journey

Jinnan, a project that everyone was optimistic about and fighting over, had problems. This was the most concerned thing in the circle recently. It was not surprising that Kong Heng was unlucky. He was not cunning enough, and what was worse was that he was greedy and would not stop when he saw the good.

The most bizarre thing is that this project involves the Fang family and the Wang family, and these two families are also in trouble. It was a tempting big cake before, but now it has suddenly become a bottomless pit. No matter how much resources and financial resources are invested, the loss will be doubled.

Young Master Jing had been beaten three times by his grandfather, but Wang Zhiyan was calm. However, the insiders spread the news, and Fang Zijing and Wang Zhiyan were actually being held by Kong Heng. The two families had fought over a big step before, and Wang Zhiyan was not much better than Fang Zijing.

Kong Heng has been taken away for investigation many times and his travel has been restricted.

Kong Yanze enjoyed watching the show, but he also remembered that Zhou Baiqiao was also involved. Although it was just a setup, he didn't know if it would have any impact.

Zhou Baiqiao smiled and took out a receipt, then slowly hugged him and rubbed his waist.

"It's not much money, but I got this for you."

Kong Heng was doing something tricky right under his nose. Didn't he think at all that Zhou Baiqiao was such a sucker? It was so easy to fool him.

If Kong Heng had not been so clever and used Zhou Baiqiao as his trump card and told the two young masters about Zhou Baiqiao's intervention, things would not have gone so smoothly.

But Zhou Baiqiao knew exactly what they were thinking. The three mice in the rice jar were afraid that the other mouse would eat more than themselves, so they only thought about biting each other and guarding against each other. Relying on his understanding of the Jinnan project, he was unaware that he was being trapped.

"The evidence has been submitted. This is the receipt. If you want to see Kong Heng again, you'll probably have to visit him in prison."

Zhou Baiqiao's tone was casual, but Kong Yanze was frightened. It wasn't much money, how much would it be.

Zhou Baiqiao saw Kong Yanze's uneasiness and just asked him, "Are you happy?"

Kong Yanze answered truthfully: "Happy, of course I'm happy." Not only for himself, but also for his mother.

But in the end, he destroyed the Kong family with his own hands, and Kong Yanze felt mixed emotions.

"Then there will be more happiness."

Zhou Baiqiao whispered in his ear, pinching his cheeks with his fingers and lifting the corners of his mouth. But no matter how Kong Yanze asked, he refused to reveal it.

It was not until three days after Kong Heng was formally arrested that the area outside Xiaonanyuan suddenly became lively.

Zhou Baiqiao was not around, so Kong Yanze sat under the shade of a tree in the backyard, flipping through "The Lady of the Camellias" in his hand. He should have finished reading it long ago.

It’s just that Zhou Baiqiao was too idle in the past few days, so Kong Yanze couldn’t be idle. If you count carefully, you will find that he spent most of his time in bed.

"Young Master, there are guests outside."

"Looking for Uncle Zhou?" Kong Yanze turned a page. The sunlight shining through the green leaves was soft and lovely. The backyard was cool as well, with the natural breeze blowing gently. He really didn't want to move.

The housekeeper saw what he meant and replied with a smile: "Sir, it's the same if you go, but it doesn't matter."

"It's okay if you take a break before going."

Kong Yanze looked up at the housekeeper, sensed something else, and smiled.

"Then let's take a break."

He didn't know that there were two groups of people standing outside the door. The old patriarch of the Fang family was standing in front of the door with a cane, and behind him was Fang Zijing, whose dark circles could not be hidden. The other group of people were Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang, who were dressed simply. Wang Zhiyan also looked unhappy and followed behind.

The two families took turns to ring the doorbell, but there was no answer. If it weren't for the servants inside, they would have thought that no one was here.

"What a big deal." Fang Zijing was already getting annoyed. As soon as he took out a cigarette, the old patriarch glared at him.

"You've been fooled and you don't even know who fooled you. You're capable."

These words were unpleasant to hear, and the people from the Wang family on the side also looked unhappy.

They have all been at the top of the tower and have never been treated so poorly before, but they have no choice but to continue waiting.

"I'm sorry, there aren't many servants in Xiaonanyuan, and they're all in the backyard, so I didn't pay attention and heard the doorbell."

The housekeeper finally opened the door. They had been standing in the sun for a long time. But everyone had to hold back their anger and help him smooth things over with a smile.

Xiaonanyuan is not big. There is a French window on one side of the reception area in the front hall, and the curtains are not drawn. Fang Zijing's pupils shrank, and he saw a person sitting quietly in the main seat, drinking tea slowly.

But after not seeing him for almost a month, he looked very different. Wang Zhiyan also saw the people inside. He was not very surprised, but recalled the banquet.

The panic-stricken and distressed young man seemed to have disappeared.

"The gentleman is not here. I have already called. Please feel free to do as you please."

Kong Yanze sat on the sofa, looking at them calmly. Even though these people were elders and important people, and two of them had given him a hard time, he didn't have any special reaction.

He sat there calmly. In the sunlight, he looked distant, and his expression and aura were somewhat similar to Zhou Baiqiao's.

He used to be really nervous, but during this period he didn't just go to bed with Zhou Baiqiao. When the rain stopped, he would still be awake and lie on top of him to listen to what he said.

Most of them are incomprehensible, but the common human nature, interests and games are common. After hearing so much of this, I no longer feel fear towards these so-called big men and powerful people, and I feel more natural.

Fang Zijing thought he had slept with many partners, but the one he could not forget was indeed the one he had not eaten. After so long, he thought it had faded away.

But it was still hard for him to look away. His hair had grown longer and his temperament was very different. Compared to his innocent and cheerful eyes before, he was now like a gorgeous flower carved out of gold foil and gemstones, stunning at first glance, but with a cold light, intoxicating and unattainable.

"Young Master, don't you know yet? Your father has been taken away."

The old patriarch spoke first. He knew Kong Yanze's mother. She had been with various men. He must be the same kind of person. Small families just like to do this...

"I know." Kong Yanze's calm attitude surprised the old patriarch. "That's good. Whatever mistake he made, we'll do what we need to do. It's useless for me to know."

"The situation of the Kong family is not good now. Didn't you go back to see Aunt Chang and Jiayu?" Mrs. Wang sensed something was wrong and tested her with a smile in a gentle tone.

Mrs. Wang thought that Kong Yanze had begged Zhou Boqiao for help but failed, so he said this to hurt him. Their two families were also dragged down by the Kong family, so she naturally didn't want Kong Yanze to be so indifferent, but they were very anxious.

"I don't know anything and I can't help if I go back, so I won't make more trouble." Kong Yanze stuffed it back slowly.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Kong Yanze smiled, lowered his eyes and brows, and drank his tea. He himself did not realize that his expression at this moment was the same as Zhou Baiqiao's.

After he said that, anyone who spoke would be at a disadvantage.

"I guess you all feel bad. You've always been asked to help by others, but this time you're the one begging for help."

Kong Yanze glanced at them and looked at Fang Zijing and Wang Zhiyan with a smile. Wang Zhiyan's look was more subtle, while Fang Zijing's look was blatant.

The two of them still looked at him with admiring eyes and didn't take him seriously. The other people here were similar, they just thought he was rude and didn't take him seriously at all.

“So many people came.”

Zhou Baiqiao's voice came over. He was not wearing formal clothes today because he felt too hot. His hair was half-hanging on his forehead. He glanced casually at the people in the room.

"Mr. Zhou." They all started to greet him, but Zhou Baiqiao did not respond.

He walked straight to Kong Yanze, who did not give up his seat, and sat beside him comfortably, groping for a lighter. Kong Yanze glanced at him and questioned him.

"How many did you smoke today?"

Zhou Baiqiao smiled, put the lighter in his hand, and moved closer to him: "I haven't smoked one. If you don't believe me, smell it."

He turned to look at the people with strange expressions on their faces and said with a smile: "With such a large group of people, I can't tell that you are here to beg for help. It seems that you are here to make trouble while I am away."

"What does Mr. Zhou mean?" Fang Zijing looked at Zhou Baiqiao with a gloomy expression.

Kong Yanze pulled him, and Zhou Baiqiao completely ignored them, turned his head and lowered it to listen to him.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance? What should I do later?"

Zhou Baiqiao just smiled, turned around and imitated him, leaning over and whispering.

"Do whatever you want. I'm here to support you."

Kong Yanze's ears turned red, and he looked at him in astonishment. This room of high-ranking and powerful people were left alone, watching them flirt and banter, and couldn't say anything.

"Mr. Zhou, you should know why we are here today."

Mrs. Wang spoke first, with a proper smile on her face. Mrs. Wang was capable. She was the one who made the decisions before Wang Zhiyan took over. The real head of the Wang family was a figurehead who was only brought out on formal occasions.

"The younger ones are ignorant, fighting and grinding their teeth, and it took you so much effort." She was used to avoiding the important issues when speaking.

"You also lost money. It may be a small amount for you, but it still makes you uncomfortable. Why don't you let the ignorant child go and withdraw the lawsuit? Let our two families help you make up for the loss?"

"As for what else you are unhappy about, we can talk about it slowly."

Mrs. Wang's ability to speak was so good that even old Patriarch Fang could not find any fault with her, and he also agreed.

Kong Yanze looked at Zhou Baiqiao in surprise. It turned out that he had also sued the two young masters. They were so nervous, it seemed that he had some leverage over them.

Zhou Baiqiao played with Kong Yanze's fingers. "What you said makes me feel a little older."

No one dared to accept this joke. If they did, wouldn’t that mean they were treating Joe as their elder?

"However, you should find the right person before asking for help. It won't work if you ask me for help today. You have to ask the young master who is sitting in the main seat."

Wang Zhiyan held his mother's hand, and had already come to his senses. This was to vent Kong Yanze's anger, to trample on their reputation and make him happy.

Fang Zijing also reacted and stared at Kong Yanze.

"Young Master..." Fang Zijing snorted, but before he could say anything more, his grandfather hit him from behind with a cane.

"You're so dishonest all day long! Why don't you apologize to the young master? Think about it carefully and see where you went wrong."

Kong Yanze was shocked by their flexibility and looked at Fang Zijing who was forced to kneel in front of him.

At this moment, he truly realized that Zhou Baiqiao had not only caught their weakness, but their lifeblood.

Kong Yanze laughed out loud, walked in front of Fang Zijing, and looked down at his embarrassed and forbearing expression. His grandfather's two moves looked intimidating, but he only knew how powerful he was. He was different from Kong Heng, and only Kong Heng would beat him to death.

"Master Jing, kneel down here and take off all your clothes, and forget about these things."

Kong Yanze imitated Fang Zijing's joking tone that day. Those things had already become his nightmares, but now the situation was reversed.

"Mr. Jing, are you going to take it off?" Kong Yanze said softly, admiring the wonderful expression on his face.

The old patriarch's face turned pale, but he turned away. Fang Zijing knew his grandfather's attitude, and he would rather sacrifice his dignity and be stepped on than let the Fang family suffer losses.

Fang Zijing looked up at him for the first time. Kong Yanze had no mercy at all, and his face was filled with the same expression of insult and interest as he had at the beginning.

Fang Zijing lowered his head and remained silent for a while. Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Zhiyan and had a bad feeling.

He gritted his teeth and lowered his head to tear off his shirt roughly. After taking off his shirt, his belt was untied. Kong Yanze raised his chin and asked, "Does this feel good?"

"Master Jing, get up. You don't have to take off your clothes. After all, there are ladies here."

Kong Yanze himself was surprised at how sharp he was at the moment. He pinpointed every moment when his emotions were about to collapse, and controlled his sense of shame like playing with a rubber band, and finally gave him a favor like a pardon. This was more painful than really letting him take it off.

The smile disappeared from Mrs. Wang's face. She pulled Wang Zhiyan and slapped him in front of Kong Yanze. She didn't hold back and the glasses fell to the ground with a noise.

Kong Yanze did not stop him, nor did he say anything. He just looked down indifferently.

"He really deserves to be beaten. He offended the young master and should have been taught a lesson long ago..."

Mrs. Wang already had sweat on her forehead. Looking at Kong Yanze's expression, she slapped him a few more times.

Kong Yanze looked at the several slap marks on his face, finally reached out and pinched his chin, then smiled coldly with his eyes lowered as if in appreciation.

"Ma'am, please stop hitting me. It looks too pitiful."

Kong Yanze responded with the same malicious and cheap sympathy, but he enjoyed his humiliation and pain. Wang Zhiyan felt uncomfortable, but he smiled softly and looked at Zhou Baiqiao.

This was a favor to them. Zhou Baiqiao was really determined to trap Kong Yanze in his net. But who would dare to bet that someone like Zhou Baiqiao was sincere? He was just like them, just lustful.

Zhou Baiqiao stood up, took a handkerchief, and wiped his hands carefully. He looked a little unhappy, but still asked him patiently.

"Is it fun? Are you happy?"

Kong Yanze's cheeks were a little red, and he nodded: "Happy." Zhou Baiqiao smiled and looked around, and asked him again: "Then let them come over to make you happy when they have nothing to do."

Before he finished speaking, everyone's face turned pale, no one made a sound, and they all looked at Kong Yanze in doubt. Kong Yanze felt the same feeling as before, when he touched cotton and got pricked by a needle.

But now he has the power to make others uneasy with just one sentence.

Kong Yanze shook his head. He could enjoy privileges, but he knew that too much is as bad as too little.

"It's too noisy. I don't like it." Kong Yanze looked at Zhou Baiqiao and grabbed his wrist. "I've had enough fun."

It was not until he spoke that the farce was completely over. Kong Yanze let out a long sigh and stood by the window watching them leave. Kong Yanze had never dreamed that he could retaliate against them in this way.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Baiqiao didn't like him to thank him, but he didn't stop him from saying it. He just pulled him back to sit.

"Things here will be dealt with soon, and we will return home next week at the latest." Zhou Baiqiao said as he looked at Kong Yanze, not missing any expression on his face.

Kong Yanze knew that he would go back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He was a little surprised, but soon felt relieved, nodded and looked at him.

"Next week? I see."

Zhou Baiqiao looked at him, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his brows lowered. He looked normal, but Kong Yanze noticed that he seemed to be waiting for something.

"Well, Uncle Zhou, did you have a safe trip?"

Kong Yanze said tentatively and smiled.

Zhou Baiqiao lowered his eyelashes, stood up and left suddenly without saying a word. Kong Yanze looked at him in surprise, but he looked calm, without even putting his hands in his pockets, and didn't even look at him.

What happened? However, no matter what, starting today, the deal is over.

Kong Yanze was actually a little reluctant to leave Zhou Baiqiao, maybe it was because he was always a little different in front of him, maybe it was because he respected him very much, or maybe it was because they were already more familiar with each other's bodies than each other.

Even if you are extremely clear-headed, emotions will still sprout like buds.

But he also knew that they were not in the same world after all, and temporary joy could not be exchanged for long-lasting love.

Zhou Baiqiao always looked down at him and protected him, but that did not produce love, only pleasure. However, as a dependent person, it was easy for him to fall.

"Young Master, are you serious?"

The housekeeper looked at Kong Yanze with surprise and looked embarrassed when he asked him to help clean the guest room.

Kong Yanze smiled. "Seriously, Uncle Zhou understands. I will leave Xiaonanyuan after he leaves next week."

The housekeeper looked at Kong Yanze in astonishment, with a strange expression, and then saw Zhou Baiqiao standing on the stairs. He was standing on the second floor holding a cigarette, his eyes drooping and indifferent, and he only threw out one sentence, and then coughed softly.

"Let him."

Kong Yanze looked up and saw only a back figure, then turned to look at the housekeeper. The housekeeper broke out in a cold sweat, not understanding why Kong Yanze was still so calm.
