Chapter 2673
Zhou Andong said doubtfully: "It's a big deal, and it's related to me?"
"Exactly!" The old man picked up his wine cup, took a light sip, and said with a cheerful smile: "To be precise, it's related to you and the Yin family."
Zhou Andong frowned slightly, then immediately understood: "Yin Mo's buried bomb, detonated in Jiangzhou, right?"
A look of appreciation flashed in the old man's eyes, a satisfied smile on his face—this grandson-in-law of his thinks too fast. He only mentioned it briefly, and Zhou Andong immediately figured it out. No wonder, at such a young age, he stands at a height that ninety-nine percent of people can hardly reach in a lifetime.
The old man added a piece of braised pork rib to Zhou Andong's plate; this scene drew wide-eyed stares from everyone at the table. Whether uncles or cousins, their faces were full of envy "jealousy".
Especially the few cousins, looking at Zhou Andong with unfriendly eyes, as if they would beat him up at any moment. You know, they've grown this big, and the old man has never once served them food.
Great Uncle Gu Mingxiang said thoughtfully: "Dongzi, did you already anticipate that the Yin family would use public opinion to attack you, so you set a trap to catch Yin Mo?"
Zhou Andong shook his head like a rattle drum, denying: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense. It's because Yin Mo's private life was improper, he was caught soliciting prostitutes by the police uncle, and it has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, Zhou Andong put the rib in his mouth, then glanced around the table, taking in everyone's expressions. He laughed inwardly, but his face remained very serious.
"Grandpa, I just ate a piece of this rib, and the taste was quite ordinary. But the piece you gave me has a hint of sweetness, the flavor instantly improved, it's delicious."
Zhou Andong's words left everyone stunned, then followed by looks of contempt shooting over; Gu Yun, the third son of the great uncle's family, said indignantly: "Dongzi, do you know you're asking for a beating?"
Zhou Andong looked at the old man with a wronged expression, speaking in a affected tone: "Grandpa, I'm speaking the truth, Third Brother actually wants to hit me, you gotta back me up."
The old man's mouth twitched, then he cooperatively glared at Gu Yun: "Full or not? If full, go down; if not full, eat. Why so much talk?"
"Hey!" Zhou Andong gave Gu Yun a very proud smile.
"Dongzi!" Great Uncle's eldest son Gu Xun said: "Since I knew you and Qiqi got your certificate, I've been following you, I've seen all the news about you.
This time, because you only donated two million at the charity gala, you were criticized in many newspapers and magazines, I immediately guessed, this must be the Yin family's doing.
At first I was anxious, but after two days I wasn't anymore. Although I haven't met you in person, my understanding of you isn't shallow, you're definitely not someone who suffers a loss and then plays dumb.
Because, the more people scold you, the more you remain indifferent, I felt something was off. But I just couldn't figure out how you'd respond. This afternoon, I saw the news of Yin Mo's formal arrest in the Youth Daily, then I confirmed, you had already anticipated today."
Saying this, Gu Xun laughed: "You tell us the truth, was Yin Mo's arrest really not your setup?"
"How could it be?" Zhou Andong still shook his head in denial: "I'm a four-haves youth, how could I do something illegal?"
"Cut it out!" Gu Yun said with a pout: "Back then, I saw the news of Yin Mo and a few others being arrested, you're vicious enough, you posted Yin Mo's and those few 'beautiful' old……sister photos.
When I saw those photos of the beautiful old sisters, I was stunned. I couldn't believe, how dare Yin Mo and them defile those beautiful old sisters, aren't they afraid of having nightmares at night? Later I thought about it and understood, Yin Mo and them were definitely set up.
"Think whatever you want." Zhou Andong wore a helpless expression: "Anyway, Yin Mo and them were caught soliciting prostitutes, it has nothing to do with me. As the saying goes, the clear are clear themselves, the turbid are turbid themselves."
"Dongzi!" The old man chuckled: "I have one thing I can't figure out, can you tell me the truth?"
"Go ahead!" Zhou Andong said openly: "I will speak without reservation, say everything without holding back!"
The old man pondered: "Even before this public opinion, I noticed someone, because of your donation, published critical articles in newspapers. But those two articles only caused a few ripples, then disappeared."
Saying this, the old man chuckled lightly: "Yin Zongquan that old fox is indeed sly, those two critical articles were definitely probing you. Seeing you had no reaction, he pressed down those ripples that had just risen.
And this time, the public opinion came so fiercely, at first I also thought it was Yin Zongquan that old fox pushing it. But after careful thought, that old fox has always been cautious in his actions, after suffering several losses at your hands, he would definitely not act rashly.
Moreover, public opinion isn't that easy to manipulate, nor can just anyone play with it. This thing, if handled well can cause death, if mishandled leads to death without a burial place; Yin Zongquan that old devil couldn't possibly not understand this principle.
So, regarding this negative public opinion against you, although it came fiercely, it's still suspicious. Because I can be certain, it's definitely not Yin Zongquan that old devil behind it."
The old man looked at Zhou Andong with deep eyes, but the smile at the corners of his eyes couldn't be hidden: "Can you honestly tell me, what's going on?"
Hearing the old man's words, everyone fell into thought, then Zhou Andong said: "Grandpa, Great Uncle, Second Uncle……I toast you, I'll drink first, you do as you please."
Everyone came to their senses, Third Uncle Gu Ming'an raised his cup: "I'll note this cup first, after you answer the old man's question, I'll drink it, and I'll even have two more."
Gu Xun chimed in: "Dongzi, answer Grandpa's question, after you answer, I'll drink three cups."
"Me too!" Gu Yun said unwilling to be outdone: "I'll also drink three cups."
"I'll also drink three cups!"
"Me too!"
"I'll drink four cups!"
No matter where, no matter the occasion, there will always be a show-off, and this shout of drinking four cups is exactly Gu Tao.
Zhou Andong's eyes flashed, wanting to keep talking nonsense, but seeing Gu Yun and Gu Tao's ill-intentioned eyes, he could be 100% sure. As long as his answer dissatisfies them, he will definitely get beaten!
"It was me who spent money, found someone to write critical articles scolding me." To avoid being surrounded and beaten, Zhou Andong still told the truth.
