Chapter 165: Revenge

Start from the beginning
                                    

"You..." Zhou Huaming was incensed. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Second brother, since you doubt my intentions, why don't you help Wei 'Er yourself?"

Zhou Huaying choked and turned around to complain, "Dad, you see, Big Brother never wanted to save Wei 'Er. Now he wants to leave. If I can save Wei 'Er, do we even need big brother?"


Zhou Huaming, "..." At that moment, he understood many things. No matter how he argued, Zhou Huaying would not believe him. Since Zhou Hongwei had a father like Zhou Huaying, would he be reliable in the future?

At the same time, Zhou Huaming thought of his two filial daughters.

Although both daughters were married, they often asked about their parent's health. They would return every few days to visit. If they didn't have the time, they would call to inquire about their days and so on.

But what about Zhou Hongwei? If Zhou Hongwei ever called him, it was to ask for money. Did he ever show concern to his eldest uncles? No.

"Son, what are you thinking about?" Zhou Guojian narrowed his eyes and asked very seriously

Zhou Guojian was dissatisfied with Zhou Huaming. The seed of doubt was planted. 'Is it possible that Huaming is really turning against the family?'

Zhou Huaming shook his head and then said, "Dad, our usable connection now is Deputy County Magistrate Hong."

"Big Brother, so you do have another connection. Why did you say you've tried everything earlier then?" Zhou Huaying shouted again, "I knew you were lying!"

"Shut up!" Zhou Guojian shouted sharply.

If his second son continued to do this, his eldest son would eventually turn on them.

Zhou Huaying shut up after being reprimanded, but he was insistent that Zhou Huaming had sent Zhou Hongwei to jail.

Zhou Guojian only nodded and said, "It looks like this is the only way."

Deputy County Magistrate Hong Qing was the best connection they had. Zhou Guojian once helped Hong Qing when he was young. When Hong Qing took the post, he promised to help Zhou Guojian too.

...

A week later, Zhou Hongwei's criminal case was brought to court, and he was sentenced.

He was convicted of kidnapping, illegal restriction of personal freedom, and intimidation. The three crimes were equally serious, and he was sentenced to five years in prison. In addition, he had to pay mental damages and other losses to several parties. He had to pay 300,000 RMB for each ,and in total, he had to pay more than a million RMB.

And this was after Hong Qing had pulled some strings. Zhou Hongwei was supposed to sit for seven years in prison, but he got it reduced to five years.

After hearing this result, the Zhou family was furious.

The women of the Zhou family cried like the sky was falling. The men were angry.

"Dad, didn't you ask Deputy County Magistrate Hong to help? Why is Wei 'Er still sentenced?" Zhou Huaying turned to question Zhou Guojian. He meant that his father had not done his best.

"Shut up!" Zhou Guojian's face darkened. He always doted on his second son, but this time, he was furious. "Zhou Huaying, how can you talk to your father like that?"

Zhou Tanxiong stood up and told Zhou Huaying, "Second brother, you've misunderstood father. It was thanks to Deputy County Magistrate Hong that the sentence was lighter."

Zhou Huaying knew he had gone too far. He complained, "Still, this Deputy County Magistrate Hong is quite useless. He only managed to reduce the sentence by two years."

"Shut up!" Zhou Guojian shouted sharply, "What do you know?!"

He was getting more and more disappointed in his second son! His second son didn't have any brains at all. He did things on impulse. He was now worried that he would drag Zhou Hongwei down especially since Zhou Hongwei had been in prison.

Zhou Huaming also looked down on this second brother more and more. His second brother never cared about anything... except the wealth of the Zhou Family. Of course, he wouldn't dare comment about the main contributor to the Zhou Family lineage.

Zhou Huaming explained, "Second brother, Deputy County Magistrate Hong has tried his best. Chief Jiang Tao, who arrested Wei 'Er, comes from deep background. Furthermore, we have to face Deputy County Magistrate Qian, who is good friends with the Gu Family. Deputy County Magistrate Hong has done everything he can. We shouldn't blame him. If anything, we should thank him." Then, he turned to his father. "Dad, what should we do now?"

"That's right, Dad. Wei 'Er is now in jail. What should we do?" Zhou Huaying asked impatiently and anxiously.

Zhou Guojian glanced at him and scolded, "You need to shut up first!"

Then, he looked at Zhou Huaming and Zhou Tanxiong and said, "The situation is tense now. When people forget about this, we'll do something."

The two brothers nodded and said, "Okay, Dad!"

Zhou Guojian's sharp eyes looked forward, and a hidden hatred flashed in his eyes. Then, he added, "But now, it's time for us to settle the scores with the culprit! This Xiao Lingyu is really too arrogant. To think she can bully the Zhou Family to this extent!"

If Xiao Lingyu were there, she would be speechless. She was just a country bumpkin in their eyes who had no power and influence. How could she bully the Zhou Family?

The Zhou family was really too shameless.

Zhou Huaming and Zhou Tanxiong agreed and said, "That's right. If we don't do something, she will trample all over us!"

They had both fallen for Xiao Lingyu's trap. It was their nephew who suffered. Previously, they had to suffer mutely because Xiao Lingyu was the key witness in Zhou Hongwei's case. However, now that Zhou Hongwei's case was settled, it was time for revenge.

...

Zheng Haiyang signed the new shop lease with Xiao Lingyu. Xiao LIngyu also gained a satisfactory design proposal from Li Yang.

"I like this a lot!" Xiao Lingyu scanned the blueprint. "I knew I was in good hands with Director Li. Director Li, just have your people follow this design!"

"Okay!" Li Yang smiled and said, "Then, Miss Xiao, when do you plan to open?"

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Director Li, I want to open on the 21st. Can you make it?"

Li Yang calculated for a moment and said, "Today is the 1st. There are still 20 days until the 21st. It should be okay."

Xiao Lingyu nodded. "Director Li, I don't have any requirements about the construction materials but one. You can't use toxic and chemical ingredients like formaldehyde or things that have strange smells. Is that okay?" She was going to sell vegetables and fruits. She couldn't abide by any pollution.

Li Yang smiled. "Of course. Serving our customers is our mission."

Xiao Lingyu smiled and left the renovation company.

On her way back home, a person rushed out with a shining dagger as she turned the corner.. He stabbed at her.
