"I never imagined that your older brother, who ran off to Hong Kong Island and was never heard from again, actually survived and became a big boss."
“I thought all that money I put in back then was a waste, but I actually got a tenfold or even a hundredfold return. This 500,000 is enough for us to squander for a long time.”
With no outsiders around, Wang Xiuhua looked at the bank card in her hand with excitement and joy, as if she had found a huge sum of money for free.
"Yes, who would have thought he would be so successful that he would send people over directly? It seems that the current boss is no ordinary rich man. I wonder how much he is worth."
Zhou Dana also looked on with a sigh.
"Do you think your older brother's net worth could exceed one hundred million?"
Wang Xiuhua guessed.
Zhou Dana shook his head, unable to be sure. "If he's really that rich, giving me only 500,000 is a bit too little. It's like giving money to a beggar."
Wang Xiuhua nodded noncommittally: "That's right. He's so rich, giving only a few hundred thousand is indeed too little. Back then, when he went to Hong Kong, he didn't take care of Mom and Dad at all. We were the ones who took care of them. Logically speaking, he should give us the money we earned for taking care of Mom and Dad and fulfilling our filial duties for him. Why don't you call that Secretary Wang and have him mention this to your older brother?"
“No!” Zhou Dana immediately rejected the idea. Seeing that Wang Xiuhua didn’t understand, Zhou Dana explained, “Bringing this up specifically might make our elder brother resent us. We need to learn to play the long game and not lose more than we gain for a small benefit. It would be best if someone else mentioned this to us unintentionally later. Out of shame, our elder brother might give us more. If we ask for it directly, we will be at a disadvantage.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuhua felt that it made sense; indeed, she had been too hasty and too eager for quick success.
"What we need to do now is not this, but those three bastards."
Zhou Dana then turned the conversation back to the three siblings.
"Those three brats, now that they have a rich dad, look like they're going to have a stroke of good luck."
Thinking of those three vampires, Wang Xiuhua couldn't help but sigh again. Who would have thought that those three people would suddenly have a change of fortune? Her father, who had disappeared for many years, came back and became a big boss.
"So what should we do? When should we tell Secretary Wang about the three siblings?"
Wang Xiuhua felt that Zhou Dana had considered things comprehensively, so she let Zhou Dana make the decision.
"No rush. Telling Secretary Wang too quickly will make it seem like this was too easy and won't highlight our efforts. Let's wait a bit. We can deal with our relationship with the three siblings first, or more accurately, repair it, so that they don't hate us, especially those two bastards, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan."
Zhou Dana said leisurely.
Wang Xiuhua's expression flashed as she realized the purpose of their actions. Currently, they were avoiding Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, planning to run away when the two encountered trouble. Once they learned that Zhou Ling had a wealthy businessman father, they would inevitably speak ill of them to him in the future. In that case, how could they possibly get anything out of Zhou Haide?
Therefore, the primary goal at present is to ease the conflict with those two wolf cubs and eliminate any potential threats.
"I'll do as you say. Whatever you say, we'll do."
"Pack up, go back to Yanjing first, deal with those two bastards, and then tell Secretary Wang to get the remaining 500,000."
Zhou Dana made the decision.
Wang Xiuhua nodded and then began to tidy up.
...
Where is this?
When Zhou Chuan opened his eyes, he was a little confused. Wasn't he sleeping at home? How did he end up here?
Am I dreaming?
Just as Zhou Chuan was about to move, he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrapped around his body. Looking down, he was shocked to find that he was tied up and his body was bound with rope.
What happened?
"Fourth brother..."
At this time,
A voice came from the side, and Zhou Chuan turned his head to see his third sister, Zhou Ling, who had also just woken up.
"Fourth brother, where are we? Why are we tied up?"
Zhou Ling quickly regained her senses from her dazed state and her expression changed drastically when she saw that she was restrained.
"I don't know either."
Zhou Chuan wore a bitter expression. Who would have thought that he would wake up in a strange place that looked like a factory? It was truly unbelievable.
He still feels that everything before him is a dream.
"Hey, you're awake!"
Just as the siblings were completely bewildered,
A voice drew their attention, and several masked men walked over at the same time.
"Who are you? What do you want? Let us go right now, or we'll call the police!"
“You’re tying us up, which is illegal and will get you in jail.”
Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhou Ling immediately invoked the name "Uncle Hat" and made a loud demand.
However,
The next second, there was a loud crack.
A red handprint was imprinted on Zhou Ling's face. After receiving a hard slap on the nose, she instantly became obedient and shut up.
Zhou Ling's eyes were instantly filled with fear, and she couldn't help but feel scared.
She realized that the group of people in front of her didn't seem like good people.
"You bitch, if you keep babbling, I'll slap you again. Don't you know your place? You have no self-awareness at all."
Dao Ge, wearing a Calabash Brothers mask, spoke coldly.
Zhou Ling dared not speak.
The siblings watched as the man, who appeared to be the leader, sat opposite them.
"Brother, we don't have any money. Did you tie up the wrong person?"
"Don't worry, if you release us, we won't say a word, and we won't call the police. I know the rules of the underworld."
Having been through a lot in society, Zhou Chuan was more knowledgeable in this regard than Zhou Ling, so he quickly spoke with a beaming smile.
"Let you go? Heh... But you're the one we tied up."
Brother Dao chuckled.
What!
Hearing this, Zhou Chuan's heart sank. He didn't remember having any grudges with this group, nor had he offended anyone. Could this be Zhou Chen's revenge against him?
But Zhou Chen was being far too audacious, having them tied up – that's illegal.
If that's the case, Zhou Chen will definitely go to jail once the siblings escape.
"Kid, tell me, how much do you know about our plan? What did you hear at the time? Did you tell anyone what you knew? Or have you already called the police?"
Dao Ge stopped keeping him in suspense and asked directly.
Zhou Chuan was filled with questions; he couldn't understand what the other person was saying.
"Brother, you must have made a mistake. I don't know what you're talking about. It must be a misunderstanding..."
Before Zhou Chuan could finish speaking,
Brother Dao chuckled and interrupted, "You won't talk, huh? Guys, let's loosen this kid's tongue so he doesn't keep being stubborn."
Following Brother Dao's command, several henchmen wearing Calabash Brothers masks approached Zhou Chuan, all letting out a mocking sneer.
Zhou Chuan had a bad feeling, and he wanted to explain again.
However,
Before he could speak, the group in front of him shoved a tattered rag into his mouth, and a sharp pain shot through him the next second.
Zhou Chuan's eyes widened, his expression one of extreme pain.
