Chapter 149

At the Jinyu Seafood Restaurant, after Wei Chongwu left, Pan Xing did not leave, but asked the waiter to clear the table and brewed another cup of tea for him.

By four o'clock in the evening, Pan Xing re-ordered dishes. Not long after, Zhao Jianlong and Huo Xing arrived.

"I have already lit the mine buried by the 'stick' (referring to the fake liquor), and as for the liquor factory, the police should have mastered the clues long ago. The reason they haven't taken action yet, I estimate, is that they are conducting an in-depth investigation. If they don't find the big fish, they should be closing the net in these two days."

Speaking of this, Pan Xing picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Jianlong and Huo Xing, "Three human lives; Zhou Anbin is dead for sure. His family members still have to pay back the 1.6 million loan for him."

Huo Xing said: "Jiangzhou Yugong liquor has already become unsalable, and many wholesalers want to return the goods."

"Hahaha..." Zhao Jianlong laughed crazily, "Zhou Andong, let's see how you die."

Huo Xing said with a smile: "Next, it depends on Mr. Tong's side."

Zhao Jianlong was in a great mood, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I'm thinking, should I prepare a coffin for Zhou Andong? After all, we've known each other once, and there's that relationship with Jiang Yuping."

Pan Xing buttered him up: "Brother Long is still the most magnanimous. If it were me, it would be good enough not to grind him into dust, let alone buy him a coffin. Even if Zhou Andong's ancestors jumped out of their graves, it would be impossible."

Zhao Jianlong laughed again: "Tomorrow, you kid also go to the South to wander for a while, and come back after the matter is over."

The atmosphere in Tanghezi these past few days was very strange. Whoever saw Zhou Anbin would enthusiastically greet him and call him Zhou Zong.

But when they saw Yuan Liying, Zhou Anqin, and Zhou Anbei, they would point fingers and look gloating.

A van stopped at the entrance of Zhou Anbin's house. Zhao Guifen got out of the car, followed by a worker, and then they moved a large television set down from the car.

A woman who had been waiting for a long time said with envy in her eyes: "Oh my, Sister-in-law Zhou, you bought a TV at home."

Zhao Guifen said proudly: "It's all thanks to my Anbin. I said color TVs are too expensive, just watch the one we have at home. He wouldn't have it, and gave me 6,000 or 7,000 all at once, telling me to buy a big color TV."

The woman clicked her tongue and said: "Your Anbin is still the capable one, unlike Zhou Andong, who also became a general manager, but the liquor he brewed killed people."

Zhao Guifen was just thinking about how to belittle Zhou Andong, and someone gave her a ladder, but she expressed some dissatisfaction on her face.

"What are you saying? Andong is still quite good, just in terms of ability, he is lacking compared to my Binzi. But as long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to grow up quickly."

The woman knew exactly what kind of person Zhao Guifen was. If she were really stupid enough to agree with Zhao Guifen, then today's matter would definitely fall through.

The woman sneered: "You are his aunt, I can understand you speaking for him, but Zhou Andong just isn't good enough. He's even a university student, but he's not even as good as one of Anbin's fingers. Even if he's given twenty years, he won't be able to catch up to Anbin."

Zhao Guifen's eyes disappeared from smiling, and then she sighed: "That's true, that child Andong has been naughty and mischievous since he was a child. Even after going to university, his temperament hasn't changed; he really is mud that can't be supported on the wall. I, as an aunt, am anxious, but what's the use of me being anxious if his own mother isn't?"

Just at this moment, the roar of an engine coming from afar attracted the attention of the two women. Looking up, they saw a brand-new Santana driving over and stopping at the gate of Zhou Andong's house.

"Aunt, did you buy a TV at home?" Zhou Andong got out of the car, swinging the car keys in his hand, and glanced at the Sony TV advertisement stuck on the van.

Seeing Zhou Andong driving back, Zhao Guifen's original good mood disappeared without a trace, but she put on a concerned look.

"Dongzi, you're back. These past few days, the matter of your factory's liquor killing people has spread throughout our village. I've been worried to death; what exactly is going on?"

Zhou Andong curled his lips. Worried? Probably happy, right? Why didn't you laugh yourself to death? He ignored Zhao Guifen and turned to enter the courtyard.

Zhao Guifen said angrily: "Look, look, what kind of attitude is this? I was still thinking of letting my Anbin guide him, but now it seems I was being sentimental."

The woman said: "The liquor in the factory has already killed people, how can he still be the general manager?"

Zhao Guifen snorted coldly: "I estimate that his time as general manager is almost up."

At this time, Zhou Anbin returned. Seeing the Santana, he asked: "Whose car is this? Why is it parked at Zhou Andong's house?"

The woman opened her mouth to speak, but finally swallowed her words.

Zhao Guifen said jealously: "Son, when will your factory be able to assign you a car?"

Zhou Anbin understood immediately; this car must have been driven back by Zhou Andong, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. Thinking that he was tired and exhausted every day, and still a general manager, he must contact Pan Xing tomorrow to assign him a car.

"They assigned me a car, but I'm not willing to drive it."

The woman gave a thumbs up: "Zhou Zong is still the low-key one, unlike Zhou Andong, who sells liquor that kills people, yet is still so high-profile. Compared to you, he's simply heaven and earth."

Zhou Anbin was very satisfied with the woman's words and said proudly: "Don't compare me to Zhou Andong; he's not worthy."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The woman nodded vigorously, "How could he be worthy of comparing to you, Zhou Zong."

Zhou Anbin wasn't stupid and finally realized what was going on. He looked at the woman and said: "You have something to ask of me, right?"

The woman said with a smile: "Look, Zhou Zong is Zhou Zong; nothing can escape your eyes."

Zhou Anbin smiled. How could he refuse someone who was sending money: "Let's go, go inside and talk."

As soon as Zhou Andong entered the house, he saw Zhou Xiaoxin with a worried face, leaning against the bedding roll, puffing on a cigarette.

Yuan Liying was sitting on the edge of the kang, leaning against the wall in a daze. Old Four was lying quietly in her mother's arms, her big eyes looking at Zhou Anqin and Zhou Anbei standing on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Andong asked curiously.

Seeing Zhou Andong return, Old Four climbed up from her mother's arms and threw herself into Zhou Andong's arms.

Zhou Andong hugged Old Four and looked at Zhou Anqin and Zhou Anbei standing on the ground: "Did you two cause trouble?"

"They didn't cause trouble!" Yuan Liying came back to her senses, "It's you. What exactly is going on? It's all spreading that your factory's liquor killed people. Is it true?"

Zhou Anqin said: "Brother, during this period, people in the village have all been watching our family make a fool of ourselves, always badmouthing you behind your back, which almost angered me to death. Xiaobei doesn't even know how many times he's fought with people."

Suddenly, the sound of a siren came faintly, and it was getting closer and closer. Yuan Liying's expression changed: "Dongzi, are the police here to arrest you?"
