Chapter 12 Taking them down one by one
"If the Zhou family can push out a scapegoat and cooperate with the investigation along with the families of those juvenile offenders, there is still a chance to turn the tables."
"Things have already come to this point, and the people involved have caught the attention of higher-ups... It's simply impossible for everyone to get away unscathed."
"Make those juvenile delinquents go to jail obediently, and you should issue a statement immediately..."
Luo Huayi spoke rapidly, not caring about her friend's expression, "Have your public relations department make arrangements immediately. As the newly appointed head of the Zhou family, you must come forward to explain this matter."
"We must deal with all the threats at once, otherwise the consequences will be dire."
Zhou Zichuan stood behind his desk and didn't respond.
However, from the increasingly heaving chest of the man and the gradually increasing obvious anger in his breath, one could tell that his mood was now extremely bad.
Luo Huayi could tell from Zhou Zichuan's expression that he didn't take her words seriously at all.
Zhou Zichuan's gaze fell on the two men standing not far away.
“It’s nothing serious,” Zhou Zichuan suddenly laughed. “You’re quite timid, getting scared by a kidnapper’s nonsense.”
"This has nothing to do with the Zhou family at all; it was all fabricated by that kidnapper."
Luo Huayi's expression gradually darkened.
"You still think this isn't important?" The man's sharp gaze swept over us, adding a touch of oppression to the already tense atmosphere. "You can lie to me, but you even lie to yourself?"
"If the kidnapper was just making up lies, why haven't you taken any action yet?!"
"Since this incident escalated, how many people have believed the lawyer's letter you sent?"
"Does he really think that just because he has the Zhou family under his control, he can command the wind and rain and control the whole world, and that no matter what nonsense he spouts, everyone has to blindly believe him?"
Zhou Zichuan's face grew even uglier, and his hand on the desk gradually tightened until it turned white, eventually clenching into a fist.
Seeing that the two were about to clash, Cheng Zheng could say nothing and could only stand quietly to the side.
The two sides parted on bad terms.
......
"Regarding the Zhou family..." Luo Huayi got into the car, his expression still grim. "Go and find out just how big a mess they've made."
Cheng Zheng agreed.
Using the signal strength indicated by the plot clues, Xin Que controlled the distance between the two cars and finally found the wealthy area where the Zhou family lived.
She didn't return home until she was stopped by security.
No, it's to give those two accomplices some amusement and indirectly put some pressure on the Zhou family.
She refused to believe that the Zhou family wouldn't feel a sense of impending doom when the people she was protecting kept getting into trouble one after another.
The more chaotic the scene, the better, so that the Zhou siblings will lose their composure.
......
“Kai Kai is still in the detention center,” Mrs. Wang said anxiously, pulling her husband along and nagging about their son. “How come Zheng Yiqing got out, but our son was just a tricked accomplice and he can’t get out?!”
The middle-aged man was also anxious. One bizarre thing after another had happened in the past few days, and he had long lost the composure he had when the police came to his door.
“The Zheng family only managed to get Zheng Yiqing out by relying on the Zhou family,” the middle-aged man said, grabbing his hair, his voice filled with barely concealed panic. “But look at him, Zheng Yiqing has only been out for a few days?”
"After being rescued from the abandoned factory, he went to the emergency room. He is still slurring his speech and is almost mentally unstable."
Mrs. Wang was extremely agitated. "I don't care if Zheng Yiqing is crazy or not! I just want to rescue my Kaikai!!!"
"Enough!!!" Mr. Wang roared, "You have no idea how much power that kidnapper has. To this day, no one knows why he kidnapped him. Even with the Zheng family's powerful background, he still dared to target the Zheng family's only son!"
"What about us?!"
"Go listen to that audio message yourself. It even reveals everything about our family. Do you really think they won't be targeting us?!"
Mrs. Wang's face flushed red. She was so anxious about her son being detained in the detention center that she had no energy to think about anything else.
"It's all because of your good-for-nothing!" Mrs. Wang pointed at Mr. Wang and cursed, "If it weren't for your damn good-for-nothing insisting on sucking up to the Zheng family, would our son have gotten involved with Zheng Yiqing and been led astray like that?!"
Mr. Wang was also furious, and threw the crackled glass at Mrs. Wang, yelling, "You've spoiled our perfectly good child like this, and now you're blaming me?!"
"you......"
"Click—"
When the hour and minute hands of the vintage quartz clock both point to the number 12, the entire villa is plunged into darkness.
Their vision was suddenly filled with darkness, and their pupils could not adjust for a moment, so they could not see anything.
"Butler?!" Mr. Wang shouted in a deep voice.
No one answered.
Mrs. Wang let out a muffled groan in the darkness in front of him, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Mr. Wang immediately tensed up.
The emergency call button under the table was so hard it wouldn't bounce back, and it didn't respond at all.
This means that the backup power supply has also been cut off by the other party.
"Okay, stop pressing it."
"The first thing we'll cut off is your backup power."
A low, husky, sinister voice came from the darkness, giving Mr. Wang goosebumps and making his scalp feel like it was about to explode.
"Who...who are you?!" When Mr. Wang felt the cold blade against his neck, he was completely terrified and trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted.
"Hey," the man's voice was casual yet terrifying, as if he were having a casual conversation, "So cowardly, yet you dare to collude with the Zheng family?"
"Dude, you're used to double-crossing people, and you only realize you're scared when it's your turn?" The man pressed the knife against his carotid artery down further, and a faint smell of urine began to fill the air.
Mr. Wang had been under immense pressure due to the troubles his son and the Zheng family had encountered, and the knife-wielding man who suddenly appeared in his home was the final straw that broke the camel's back.
He could no longer hold on, his eyes rolled back in fright, and he fainted while trembling.
Xin Que's lips twitched.
None of the methods she had prepared were used.
Alright, Xin Que quickly left the Wang family with the two unlocked phones.
Who's next?
The Zhou family, the Zheng family's black gloves.
He started out in the underworld, and had been involved in loan sharking and gambling. After joining the Zheng family, he went out on the surface to appear legitimate, but in reality, he was still a lackey of the Zheng family.
Xin Que had already switched to a beat-up Santana and was speeding through the night.
No rush, we need to take them down one by one to put pressure on the Zhou family.
......
“Attorney Nian,” Mrs. Zhou said, sitting on the sofa with a calm and composed smile, “That’s exactly what happened. These days, girls are so shameless. It’s one thing for them to seduce my son’s best friend, but they even tried to get involved with the Zheng family’s son.”
"She's like this now... well, she's still just a child, she was confused for a moment, so I can't say anything too harsh."
"Han'er acted impulsively out of loyalty and agreed to stand up for his brother who was cheated on... He was young and impetuous and was easily swayed. You have a son too, so you should understand how strong boys can be."
