Chapter 81 Wei Min’s Old Grudge
Shu Yan suppressed her astonishment, patted her shoulder, and calmed her down: "Tell me the whole story."
"Yeah." The woman took two deep breaths and spoke slowly.
It turns out that thirty years ago, the Zhou family was just an ordinary wealthy family in Tuchuan, not a very wealthy family.
At that time, Zhou Zhengping, the heir of the Zhou family, who was also Zhou Chu's father, took over the family business while thinking about how to make a fortune.
One day, he saw in the news that someone had made a fortune by bribing a business tycoon with a little girl. An idea suddenly struck him, and he decided to follow suit.
He went to remote villages to look for little girls like Zhang Zhaodi whose parents were extremely patriarchal.
He gave the parents some money and they agreed to let him take the little girl away for a period of time.
He then approached powerful businessmen, specifically those with corrupt morals. After a deal, they shared a secret, and this naturally solidified their partnership.
In this way, the Zhou family quickly became rich.
"We were young at the time and hadn't received any sex education, so we didn't understand what was going on..."
The woman named Liu Cuiping said softly, "When we grew up and wanted to investigate, Zhou Zhengping produced our video..."
"Ms. Shu, you're a woman too, so you know what this video means to us." Liu Cuiping smiled bitterly. "He only used this one trick, and most people backed off."
"But some people still wanted to pursue the case, even if the video was released. That's when Zhou Zhengping mobilized our parents to persuade us."
"This step has caused some sisters to retreat again."
"In the end, only three sisters were determined to bring Zhou Zhengping to justice. However, just three days before they were gathering evidence to report the case, they suddenly drowned."
"Over the years, some of us have died, some have fallen ill, and I and some other tamed people have been secretly watched by the Zhou family."
"Zhou Zhengping retired long ago, and all the evidence has been destroyed. The statute of limitations has also expired... Perhaps because of this, Zhou Zhengping relaxed his surveillance, allowing me to escape."
"Boss Shu, I see you've dealt a huge blow to the Zhou family." Liu Cuiping raised her eyes, tears rolling in her eyes: "Help us."
Shu Yan's expression remained unchanged, but anger was boiling in her heart.
If this is true, then Zhou Zhengping deserves to die and be cut into pieces!
"Do you have any evidence?"
"No." Liu Cuiping covered her face and sighed, "But I have a list of people who were involved in this incident. I also know some of Zhou Zhengping's people and their preferences."
"Mr. Shu, please investigate. There will definitely be a breakthrough. I know you have no obligation to help us, but if you are willing to help us, no matter what the result, we are willing to give you all our wealth..."
Shu Yan was not interested in their wealth. She promised to check it out and first arranged Liu Cuiping in her vacant suite and sent a few bodyguards there.
In any case, she was going to clean up the Zhou family anyway, so she might as well help them out and consider it a good deed.
"System, do you still have the truth-telling artifact and the evidence-obtaining artifact from last time?"
[No.] The system checked its own mall: [The same item will not be listed again in the short term.]
[However, here's a magical artifact! After using it, the person being used will automatically go to the police station and confess all their sins. However, the price is a bit high, 60 merit points.]
"Oh my god, it's so expensive?"
60, so she still needs 30.
Never mind, it’s not a big problem, I can just complete two more tasks and it will be done.
Shu Yan opened her cell phone to check the messages when suddenly a call came in from Zhou Zhengping's wife Qian Jiao.
"Hello?"
The tone on the other end was not pleasant: "Shu Yan, what do you want?"
Qian Jiao has been interrogated by the police every day these days. The men with glasses under her command actually betrayed her collectively and accused her of instructing them to kidnap Shu Yan.
Her housekeeper had just been taken away by the police, which made her so angry.
It’s not a pleasant feeling to have the police come to your house every day. Qian Jiao is afraid that evidence will be found one day, so she calls Shu Yan.
"Oh, Madam Zhou, look at what you're saying?" Shu Yan smiled. "If you don't know, you might think it wasn't you who sent people to arrest me, but some big sow."
Qian Jiao: ...
"Shu Yan, do you really have to be the enemy of our Zhou family?" Qian Jiao suppressed her anger and said, "I'll give you five million, and let my son and me go!"
Shu Yan was amused.
"Qian Jiao, I'll give you 50 million. Go and work on the sewing machine with your son."
Qian Jiao was so angry that her nose twisted.
"Shu Yan, are you determined to become an enemy of our Zhou family?"
Shu Yan knocked on the table: "If you tell me what I want to know, maybe I can consider letting you go." No way.
"What do you want to know?"
"Don't play dumb." Shu Yan said calmly, "Your son stole a Swiss Army knife from my mother and said it belonged to the Jiang family. It's impossible that you didn't know about this."
"If you tell me about my mother's car accident and her relationship with the Jiang family, I will consider letting you go."
The other end was silent for a moment, then sneered, "Dream on! I tell you, if you go against us, you'll suffer the consequences."
After saying that, Qian Jiao hung up the phone.
Shu Yan was too lazy to say anything more, so she simply got up and went to the detention center.
You don't want to tell me, right? If you don't tell me, I'll send you to jail.
As soon as I opened the office door, I saw Wei Min hurried over: "Yanyan?"
"Eh? What's going on?"
"I heard that you sent Qian Jiao's people in." Wei Min came closer and lowered his voice: "I have something to show you."
......
Ten minutes later, Shu Yan and Wei Min got in the car.
"You know, I come from the countryside and my parents died early."
As the car started to drive, Wei Min said slowly: "But what I have never said is that those are not my real parents."
Shu Yan turned her head to look at him: "Then who are your parents?"
"Let me tell you a story." Wei Min smiled.
It turned out that nearly thirty years ago, it was this Zhou father, Zhou Zhengping, who met Mingying, a government-funded student studying abroad, when he was traveling abroad.
The two fell in love.
After dating for a few months, Zhou Zhengping inexplicably said that we were not suitable for each other and disappeared.
The most ridiculous thing is that at this time, Mingying found out that she was pregnant.
Then, she couldn't bear to leave her child, and couldn't understand why Zhou Zhengping suddenly broke up with her. She thought he must have his reasons, so she started to run away with the child.
However, when she gave birth to the miniature president and returned to China, after going through untold hardships to find Zhou Zhengping, Zhou Zhengping only wanted to kill her and the child.
He left her for one reason only: he wanted to return to his country and marry Qian Jiao, the eldest daughter of the Qian family who was a good match for him.
Mingying didn't understand the truth until this time, but it was too late to regret.
In the end, Zhou Zhengping proposed to Qian Jiao, and the two got married happily.
Mingying was on the sidelines, and no matter how much she regretted it, it was useless. The child had already been born, and she couldn't just force it back in. She had no choice but to raise the child on her own.
If this were the case, life would be peaceful. At worst, I would just never visit the Zhou family again.
But when the child was ten years old, Qian Jiao heard about Mingying and her son from people below her.
How could Qian Jiao tolerate an illegitimate child? She immediately brought people to beat the mother and son to death, and ordered them to get out of Tuchuan within three days and never come back.
But on the third day, just when Mingying was about to leave with her child, Qian Jiao's men came again.
This time they dragged Mingying to the bed and insulted her to death without saying a word.
The child had been injured two days earlier and was running a fever. Just before Qian Jiao's men arrived, Mingying hid him in the secret cellar of her home.
In the cellar, in a semi-comatose state, he vaguely heard his mother calling Zhou Zhengping for help.
But when Zhou Zhengping came, he not only did not save Mingying, but also told Qian Jiao to be clean and get rid of the child, so that he would not hold a grudge when he grew up.
The child hid in the cellar for seven days. After seven days, he escaped from home, changed his name, and found adoptive parents.
Fourteen years later, he returned to Zhou and became Zhou Chu's assistant.
