Chapter 2811: Ma Zong's Worry

Yan Zhihuo said without hesitation: "Yin Xuan acts recklessly and without regard for consequences. Take his hiring of assassins to kill Zhou Andong as an example—it proves this point."

But he is by no means a fool. He dares to commit such acts as hiring assassins because he knows that no matter how serious his mistake, as long as the Yin family remains standing and his grandfather is alive, he will not face consequences. Therefore, he never considers the consequences of his actions. Every time he causes a major disaster, he hides with the Yin family patriarch.

Zhao Hong understood: "You mean Yin Xuan is with his grandfather?"

"Very likely!" Yan Zhihuo nodded: "We found he had been discharged from hospital and have been trying to contact him, but we couldn't reach him. I suspect the Yin family patriarch already knows about Yin Xuan hiring assassins to kill Zhou Andong, so he has placed him under house arrest—also a form of protection."

"Good!" Zhao Hong asked: "You have a good relationship with Yin Xuan—do you know about his hiring assassins to kill someone?"

"I can swear I don't know, but I can't say whether others know." Yan Zhihuo shook his head, then added: "However, hiring assassins to kill someone—anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't go around telling people about it."

"You make sense." Zhao Hong agreed with Yan Zhihuo: Yin Xuan acts arrogantly but is absolutely not foolish. How could hiring assassins to kill someone be something one would openly talk about? "Yan Zhihuo, I believe you don't know, but this matter is too serious, the consequences too severe—so you must stay here for a full 24 hours."

"No problem!" Yan Zhihuo readily agreed. Although this case has nothing to do with him, bad luck made it so that while the police were arresting criminals, he was drinking with them. Having been associated with them, if he opposes the police, it will bring him no benefit.

Zhao Hong told the duty officer: "Take him back!"

Yan Zhihuo was escorted back to the detention room by the duty officer. The second-generation heirs saw him return and immediately surrounded him: "Old Yan, what did they ask you?"

"Something big has happened." Yan Zhihuo's expression was grave: "As for what exactly, I can't say for now, but you'll find out soon."

"Damn it!" one second-generation heir cursed: "Rat, are you still okay? Speaking in half-sentences—do you want to suffocate us?"

Another second-generation heir also cursed: "What exactly happened? What does it have to do with us? Why were we all brought back here?"

Yan Zhihuo glanced at several of them: "You really want to know?"

"Nonsense!" another thin second-generation heir said: "If you don't tell me, I'll lie awake all night staring at the ceiling, lost in thought."

"Alright!" Yan Zhihuo gave a slight smile: "Then I'll tell you."

"Hurry up!" The few men surrounded Yan Zhihuo in the middle, eyes fixed on him.

Yan Zhihuo lowered his voice: "Da Ban Ya is involved in a hiring assassins to kill case. Since we were drinking and eating with him, they brought us all in."

"Damn!" the thin second-generation heir complained: "What does Da Ban Ya hiring assassins to kill have to do with us? On what grounds are we being dragged in? Do they really think the Shen family is easy to bully?"

Yan Zhihuo cracked a smile: "You know who Da Ban Ya wanted to kill, right?"

The few second-generation heirs froze: "Who?"

Yan Zhihuo's expression turned grave again as he opened his mouth and softly spat out three words: "Zhou Andong."

The faces of the several second-generation heirs stiffened. The air in the detention room seemed to freeze. After more than ten seconds, one second-generation heir swore fiercely: "Fuck Da Ban Ya's mother—he thinks his head is too heavy and doesn't want it anymore, and he's dragged us down with him."

The thin second-generation heir came to his senses, somewhat puzzled: "How deep is the grudge between Da Ban Ya and Zhou Andong? How dare he hire assassins to kill him?"

Since he had already spoken, Yan Zhihuo saw no need to hide anything further: "The mastermind isn't Da Ban Ya—it's someone else."

The thin second-generation heir asked curiously: "Who?"

Yan Zhihuo whispered: "Yin Xuan."

The several second-generation heirs stood frozen, as if under a paralysis spell, and the detention room once again fell into oppressive silence.

This time, Yan Zhihuo broke the silence, patting the shoulder of the second-generation heir beside him: "You should have heard—Guangdong Province's strict crackdown is in full swing, and the capital's crackdown is about to begin."

Yan Zhihuo's voice suddenly dropped: "A major earthquake is coming—many will die. And Yin Xuan, at this critical juncture, hired assassins to kill Zhou Andong. I estimate the Yin family won't be able to protect him."

So, we should cooperate fully with the police. Whenever they release us, we leave. If they don't, we'll stay here honestly, cause no trouble. If we give them any leverage, and later they come after us for settlement, we'll be the ones to suffer.

"Exactly!" the thin second-generation heir nodded vigorously: "What Yan Zhihuo said is correct. Hiring assassins to kill someone has nothing to do with us. Cooperating with the police is our civic duty."

At that moment, a second-generation heir spoke hesitantly: "Then… what about Zhou Andong? Is he dead?"

"If Zhou Andong were dead, would things still be this calm?" Yan Zhihuo rolled his eyes, then gave a light chuckle: "The person Yin Xuan hired to do the job never dared to touch Zhou Andong—he turned himself in instead."

The thin second-generation heir asked: "Yan Zhihuo, can you tell us the details?"

"How would I know the details? The police certainly wouldn't tell me." Yan Zhihuo shook his head: "I only know Da Ban Ya played a significant role in this case, and I estimate he won't be getting out this time."

"Did Yin Er's brain get waterlogged?" the thin second-generation heir muttered, moving his mouth: "Even if Zhou Andong put him in the hospital, it wouldn't drive him to hire assassins to kill someone."

A nearby second-generation heir chuckled: "Yin Xuan's brain isn't just waterlogged—it's probably been caught in a door too. Otherwise, why would someone hire assassins to kill someone and go to Da Ban Ya, that kind of lowlife?"

"I'm very curious about what happened at Cai Shikou that day—apparently Tong Huaiyu was there too." The thin second-generation heir stroked his chin: "That day, Li Dongcai followed Yin Xuan to Cai Shikou, then after leaving, he arranged to meet Li Dongcai to get a full account of what happened."

"Ma Zong!" Yan Zhihuo looked at Ma Zong sitting against the wall, then walked over: "Really sorry for dragging you into this. But you don't need to worry—you heard what I just said. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to leave by tonight at the latest."

Ma Zong silently nodded, still shaken inside. He had been detained due to association, and it turned out to be related to a hiring assassins to kill case—and the target was Zhou Andong. Even though he had received quality education since childhood, he now felt like cursing out loud.

What worried him was that Da Ban Ya is a shareholder of JJ, and Yin Xuan is also a shareholder—indeed, the second-largest shareholder of JJ. These two are involved in a hiring assassins to kill case—will this affect JJ's opening?

There's an even more important point: if Zhou Andong finds out that Yin Xuan and Da Ban Ya are shareholders of JJ, will he take his anger out on JJ and vent it on Ma Zong?
