Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010
“Big brother, take a look at what your daughter is saying.”
“She’s about to betray us now. We must immediately put her under house arrest.”
Xu Zhuang looked at how Second Brother Xu was targeting Xu Mengyan and couldn’t help but frown.
“Second Brother, have you lost your mind a bit?”
“Are you trying to deal with Zhang Yang or are you trying to deal with my daughter?”
Second Brother Xu’s expression changed, but he justified himself forcefully, “They are in cahoots. I mean no harm, just want to put Xu Mengyan under house arrest, so you don’t leak our secrets.”
“Enough, stop talking. We didn’t have to come looking for my daughter today, but you insisted on coming over, and now you’re saying all this. I think you had a plan all along.”
Xu Zhuang wasn’t naïve and immediately caught on.
Second Brother Xu realized he had acted too hastily, quickly adjusted his tone, and earnestly advised Xu Zhuang, “Big brother, Xu Mengyan is also my niece, I won’t do anything harmful to her. It’s just that this girl is being a bit muddled, turning against us.”
“Keeping an eye on her is also for her own good.”
Xu Zhuang’s expression was quite uncertain, seemingly really hesitating.
Xu Mengyan saw this and hurriedly said, “My father has put me under house arrest before, but in the end, what did it achieve?”
Xu Zhuang’s expression changed, and he immediately glared hatefully at Guo Qiyu.
Guo Qiyu felt embarrassed and also a bit regretful that he shouldn’t have involved the mother-in-law before.
Now, in Xu Zhuang’s eyes, he was just a scumbag.
Sure enough, when Xu Mengyan deliberately brought this up, Xu Zhuang’s attitude immediately became strong.
“Enough, stop discussing this. My daughter is free. Since she said she won’t be involved in this matter, she will keep her word. I understand my daughter.”
“Don’t target my daughter anymore. If you have the capability, deal with Zhang Yang yourself. If you don’t, regardless of the outcome, since it’s the path you chose, don’t regret it or blame anyone else.”
Second Brother Xu almost couldn’t contain his anger; in the end, his big brother still didn’t choose to side with him, which disappointed him greatly.
But since things have been said to this point, Second Brother Xu had nothing more to say.
His legs were already crippled, and if he lost Xu Zhuang’s support, he would be completely helpless.
Xu Zhuang looked toward the Guo Family, then said coldly, “You heard what Zhang Yang said just now. There are basically two options.”
“Either fight Zhang Yang to the end and ignore the warnings from above.”
“Or do as Zhang Yang said, two fingers only, it’s not a big deal.”
With that, Xu Zhuang boldly left with his daughter. Having finally met his daughter, Xu Zhuang wanted to take the opportunity to see his wife, who hadn’t spoken to him since the last time he made her angry.
There’s no need to continue wasting time with these people here.
After Xu Zhuang left, the Guo Family erupted.
“Second Brother Xu, this is the Xu Family’s attitude!”
“We only got involved in this mess because of your sake, and now you want my son to cut off two fingers?”
Second Brother Xu, facing such accusations, angrily said, “Blame your son for being incompetent. It was a simple task, but he messed it up.”
“Also, no matter what, you shouldn’t have touched my sister-in-law.”
Speaking of this, Second Brother Xu was also very angry. Regardless, he and his big brother depended on each other, and his sister-in-law was especially kind to him. If not for still needing to rely on the Guo Family now,
he would have wanted to take out this bastard.
Second Brother Xu knew very well that Xu Zhuang was not a pushover either. The only reason he tolerated Guo Qiyu was to look at the bigger picture, to deal with Zhang Yang.
Therefore, even if Second Brother Xu had opinions on Xu Zhuang’s handling of Xu Mengyan’s situation, he wouldn’t allow outsiders to criticize them here.
The Guo Family, knowing they were in the wrong, couldn’t argue further about this, so they got back to the main topic.
“So, tell us, what should we do now? My son can’t cut off his fingers.”
Second Brother Xu looked at Guo Qiyu and finally said coldly, “Three days. If within three days you can find and take down Zhang Yang, then this matter will be over.”
“But if you can’t resolve it in three days, the public opinion must be calmed down, as three days is our maximum limit under pressure.”
“After all, the people above don’t want the entire society to see the hidden rules of the upper class.”
“If large-scale unrest is triggered, we won’t be able to handle it.”
Hearing Second Brother Xu say this, the Guo Family also looked serious. The reason they found Xu Mengyan today and asked her to negotiate with Zhang Yang was because they had already received a warning from above.
Whether it’s manipulating those international competitions or controlling Maozi’s public opinion, these are all hidden rules not allowed to be made public.
Although it is just the tip of the iceberg of the upper class, for ordinary people, it is the collapse of faith.
“Fine, then we have three days to completely resolve this big trouble with Zhang Yang,” Mr. Guo said sternly.
Guo Qiyu’s face also carried a trace of murderous intent. Zhang Yang, this bastard, dared to demand two fingers; who does he think he is?
Since Zhang Yang is courting death, let him die swiftly.
Guo Qiyu spoke up, “Earlier, I exposed the information of that pair of twin sisters to those they had deceived.”
“A message just came back from a small club president, and we can basically confirm Zhang Yang’s location.”
Upon hearing this, Second Brother Xu immediately said, “He actually hid in the village, cunning of him. But this way, it’s good, it won’t cause much panic in the village.”
“When I go back, I will notify some assassins and mercenaries to go to that village.”
“But to further deceive Zhang Yang, you should still use those small fry to harass him a little, to make him underestimate us and our strength.”
“Okay, I know what to do, but are the assassins you found reliable? Zhang Yang has ties to the Blood-colored Begonia.”
Second Brother Xu confidently responded, “Don’t worry, the assassins I found are also from the Blood-colored Begonia, and they are among the top-ranked ones.”
This greatly reassured Guo Qiyu. Although surprised by Second Brother Xu’s connections, as long as they could eliminate Zhang Yang, nothing else mattered.
However, Guo Qiyu, still not fully confident, asked, “Can’t we get Xu Mengyan to lure Zhang Yang out? That would be more foolproof.”
