1072: The Humiliation of Being Toyed With

The expressions on Zhuo Qihua and Si Wei's faces became extremely colorful—green, red, blue, and purple—as they performed a Sichuan opera-style face change perfectly.

"Hahaha..."

Zhou Andong laughed heartily, his mood feeling exceptionally comfortable.

"Once again, thank you, Mr. Zhuo, for your generosity. In just a few short days, you've allowed me to earn two hundred million."

"You're lying!"

Only then did Si Wei react, her beautiful face suddenly twisting slightly.

"Zhao Liangping couldn't possibly have lied to me."

Zhou Andong raised an eyebrow. When he met Si Wei this morning, he had vaguely guessed that the person Zhou Anlei slept with might be this woman.

Hearing Si Wei's words now, it was finally confirmed. This woman would truly stop at nothing to take revenge on him.

"The person you slept with isn't named Zhao Liangping." Zhou Andong laughed with malicious glee: "His name is Zhou Anlei. Listen to that name—it only differs from mine by one character. Have you thought of anything yet?"

"Impossible!"

Si Wei's head buzzed. Although she said it was impossible, her heart had already sunk to the bottom.

"Is his right leg a bit lame?"

Zhou Andong's words were like a heavy hammer striking Si Wei's heart.

"Don't believe him. He and I are mortal enemies; he's just trying to sow discord."

Zhuo Qihua's eyes were like those of a wild beast, staring fiercely at Si Wei: "Is what he said true?"

Si Wei's complexion had turned pale, devoid of any blood.

"Don't believe him, I am his mortal enemy, he is just trying to sow discord."

"Mr. Zhuo, there's no need to be so angry." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "You are a piece of trash, and my cousin is also a piece of trash. You are both of the same breed; neither should look down on the other.

If you ask me, you should become sworn brothers with my cousin. In the future, the three of you can play together—how happy, how joyful, how blissful? As for Zhao Jianlong, who is even more trash than you, if I have the chance, I'll go back and take a look. The grass on his grave should be very green and lush by now."

Si Wei's body swayed, and Zhuo Qihua reflexively supported her, although he had been given a green hat by this woman, he didn't want Zhou Andong to watch the spectacle.

"This land transaction earned two hundred million, so we are going to celebrate. See you around."

Zhou Andong walked forward, passing Zhuo Qihua and Si Wei.

"Oh, right." Before he had walked many steps, Zhou Andong stopped again, turned back, and said: "Mr. Zhuo, remember to wire the money within a week. If I don't receive the money, then I'm sorry, but I will take back that plot of land according to the contract."

Zhuo Qihua was so angry his body was trembling slightly, his hands clenched tightly into fists.

He had thought he was the hunter, but in the end, he had become the prey.

Moreover, from Zhou Andong's words, he could tell that from the very beginning, they had fallen into a pit Zhou Andong had dug for them.

Who would have thought? He had dominated the business world and summoned wind and rain for decades, only to end up falling into the hands of a mainlander.

That sense of humiliation from being toyed with surpassed the green hat Si Wei had given him.

After exiting the hotel entrance, Zhou Andong suddenly laughed.

"Zhou Erlei is truly blessed with good fortune."

Jian Qiu asked with a smile: "Are you very envious?"

Zhou Andong felt a chill running up his spine, but the expression on his face remained very calm.

"I'm not envious at all. Si Wei is very beautiful, but compared to my wife, she's far behind."

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at him and raised her hand to hail a taxi waiting outside the hotel.

Zhou Andong said: "I was just thinking, I really should find time to see how green the grass on Zhao Jianlong's grave is."

While he was talking about Zhao Jianlong, his eyes caught Dong Herong beside him, and a flash of lightning seemed to strike his mind.

He finally remembered who Dong Herong was. In his previous life, Zhao Jianlong's liquidation had a great deal to do with Dong Herong.

At that time, he had taken on a personal injury case caused by a demolition, and it was an old cold case.

The person who found him was an eighty-year-old man, and the victim was the man's grandson.

More than ten years ago, the grandson had been beaten into a coma during a demolition.

The perpetrator was never caught, and while the house was demolished, not a single cent of the demolition compensation was received.

Because there was no one else left in the family, the old man felt he wouldn't live many more years.

So he found Dong Herong, asking him to preside over justice for his grandson and demand the compensation.

That way, even if he died, his grandson could survive.

Initially, he didn't want to take it, because the developer back then was the Tenglong Group, and the person behind it was Zhao Jianlong.

But seeing the old man and his paralyzed grandson, they were truly too pitiful.

If he didn't take it, the old man and his grandson would have no hope of surviving.

Finally, he agreed. Through investigation and secret visits, he discovered that there were more than just the old man's grandson who had been harmed in that demolition.

There were three other people: one had his Achilles tendon severed, one had his fingers chopped off, and another had his leg broken—the latter being the lightest injury.

Originally, he had persuaded these three to testify in court, but later he thought again: these few cases wouldn't be enough to kill Zhao Jianlong.

As the saying goes, if you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from its revenge. If he couldn't kill Zhao Jianlong in one blow, he would definitely face retaliation.

Then, over more than two years, he continuously investigated and collected criminal evidence against Zhao Jianlong.

He actually managed to follow the vine to find the melon and ferret out the several umbrellas behind Zhao Jianlong.

He went directly to the provincial level and found the relevant departments to report them by name.

A month later, Zhao Jianlong's gang was swept away, and the umbrellas behind him also fell one after another.

It could be said that Dong Herong became famous in one battle, and Zhou Andong knew all this because Dong Herong had said it in an interview after Zhao Jianlong was executed.

"Old Dong!" Zhou Andong asked: "Have you been following the violent resistance case in Yangcheng?"

Dong Herong shook his head: "No!"

Just then, the taxi stopped beside them, and Jian Qiu got in.

"Li Ling!" Zhou Andong said: "You and Director Jian take one car, I'll take the one behind with Old Dong."

"Fine!" Li Ling agreed and got into the car with her assistant.

Zhou Andong greeted Dong Herong and got into the second car.

Dong Herong sat beside Zhou Andong, and his apprentice sat in the passenger seat.

"Master, just follow the car in front."

Zhou Andong said to the driver, then introduced the violent resistance case to Dong Herong.

"I think this case is very likely to be a retaliatory act."

Dong Herong asked: "Chairman, do you want me to take over this case?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong nodded: "If you don't have time, or if there are any difficulties, it doesn't matter; I can find another lawyer."

"No problem." Dong Herong agreed without hesitation: "This case is very challenging. Arrange for me to meet Gong Juhua tomorrow."
