Chapter 14: A Fierce Fight



Master Zhou had originally planned to reveal his elder brother's affair with another woman at the start of the banquet. This would surely upset his sister-in-law's family, who would then take action against his brother. The Zhou family would also side with him because his brother had lost the support of his deceased sister-in-law's family. However, his daughter ruined his plan!

His embezzlement was exposed first, and no one believed his elder brother's story!

The more Zhou Ye thought about it, the angrier he became. His hand didn't stop; he slapped his daughter's face hard, again and again. He roared, feeling guilty and furious, "I'm not your father! I've never seen a daughter like you! Your father has always acted uprightly and honestly, and has always acted in the company's best interests. And you, you dare to slander me here! I'll beat you to death, you unfilial daughter!"

When Master Zhou struck, he was truly ruthless. Zhou Qianqian screamed in pain, and in just a few moments, her face was swollen into a large pig's head, making her look extremely disheveled.

Zhou Yuning quietly moved closer to Yi Tianran, glared at Third Uncle, and said, "I recently received some interesting gifts. I wonder if you'd like to see them, Third Uncle?"

As Zhou Yuning spoke, she waved her hand, and a servant brought over a stack of documents.

Zhou Qianqian glanced at the documents and said angrily, "I'm not involved in the company's operations, why are you showing me these reports and bank statements!"

Zhou Qianqian couldn't understand it, but others working in the company's finance department could. As soon as Zhou Qianqian spoke, a slender woman came over, politely took the reports, and flipped through a few pages. After a moment, her expression changed: "These are the accounts of the subsidiary managed by Third Uncle. No, to be precise, they are evidence of Third Uncle's embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds. No wonder the subsidiary lost so much money; the trickery was all here!"

It's quite remarkable that a young girl who has just been recognized by her family could bring out these shady things from her third uncle's territory.

However, many others believed that this was merely a wedding dress Mr. Zhou had made for his daughter, until...

"Boom!" A loud bang erupted from the previously peaceful main and guest areas, and Mr. Zhou's angry voice rang out: "Third brother, you've betrayed us!"

Mr. Zhou, who had just come in, witnessed the scene. He showed no respect for Master Zhou and grabbed a plate from the side, smashing it over Master Zhou's head.

After being hit by Mr. Zhou, Master Zhou staggered and knocked over the table. He glared at Zhou Yuning and immediately noticed that all the Zhou family members around him were staring at him with hateful eyes, their eyes filled with daggers that seemed to want to tear him to pieces.

If it were anyone else, Zhou Yeye would have glared at them with the same look. After all, Mr. Zhou's money is everyone's money, and if someone embezzles money from Mr. Zhou's company, it's like stealing money from his pocket. But when it happened to him, the situation changed drastically.

He believed that all of his elder brother's property would eventually be his, and he was just using his own money in advance, so what was wrong with that?

Of course, he dared not reveal his true intentions.

Master Zhou got up from the ground, his anger finding nowhere to go. He rushed to his daughter, slapped her twice, and kicked her away, venting all his embarrassment on her: "How many times have I told you to treat Yuning well? And you, you actually did something like this, making Yuning angry."

Zhou Qianqian was kicked by her father and slammed into the corner of the table. She curled up in pain, her face swollen like a pig's head. She could barely speak and could only make muffled noises, whether in protest or in pain.

Without even glancing at his daughter, Zhou Sanye turned directly to Zhou Yuning, suppressing his anger and forcing a smile, "Yuning, this is your sister's fault, but you can't talk about your third uncle like this, can you? We're all family. In the future, you can talk about things privately. Bringing it up in front of so many people is just making us a laughing stock."

The implication is that this was just a minor squabble between Zhou Yuning and Zhou Qianqian, and that the so-called report was fabricated by Zhou Yuning.

After being hit with a large pot of boiling water, Zhou Yuning's face turned red with anger, but she still managed to calm herself down. She replied softly, "Third Uncle, just like my father, I would never falsify anything. So I had these documents reviewed by an authoritative auditing department, and the uncles in the Commercial Crime Investigation Department have also confirmed the data. They have now contacted the companies on the report to conduct investigations."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Ah, judging by the time, the uncles from the Commercial Crime Division will be here soon."

Her voice was flat, even timid, but what she said was enough to make Master Zhou's heart stop.

It's gotten to the point where the Commercial Crimes Division is involved!

Upon hearing this, his gaze involuntarily shifted to the surroundings, landing on a few people in the crowd, but those people turned their heads away.

Some even said, "Third brother, what's going on with you? How could you steal from your own post!"

"So that's why the subsidiary you manage has been consistently losing money. You've been sucking blood from us!"

"Even if you're the eldest brother, you can't do something like this! It's utterly ungrateful!"

...

Hearing this, Uncle Zhou clenched his fists in anger, but could only say to Mr. Zhou, "Brother, believe me, I am your own brother, how could I do such a thing!"

“Third Uncle, actually I also think you wouldn’t do it.” Zhou Yuning spoke up before Mr. Zhou could speak, “So I specially tried to check your accounts over the years, and through these accounts, I found out some things.”
