Chapter 338 - What a Spectacular Drama

Zhou Shijin widened his eyes in shock and looked at him.

Zhou Shijin spoke up again. “There’s something I’ve never told you. In fact, our parents did not die in a car accident. Instead, it was our other relatives who collaborated to kill them.”

“What?!”

“The reason for that was because grandfather valued father the most.”

Zhou Shiyu’s lips quivered. After a long time, his mental state collapsed and he gave Zhou Shijin a punch as he yelled out loud, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

Zhou Shijin did not respond to that.

Zi Yi, who was sitting on the sidelines, clicked her tongue again and said rudely, “If you knew about this earlier, with your quick temper, you would have perhaps caused more trouble for your brother.”

Zhou Shiyu wanted to refute, but he felt that what she said was spot on.

Zi Yi looked towards Zhou Shijin and gave him an offer. “I’ll help you make the evidence you’ve gathered public and get the five billion dollars back. In return you’ll work for me for 10 years.

Hearing her words, Zhou Shiyu suddenly looked towards Zhou Shijin. His lips moved as if wanting to say something but he ended up restraining himself.

Zhou Shijin lowered his eyes and only pondered for a few seconds before he agreed to it. “I’ll accept your offer.”

He then asked, “How do you intend to make this thing public?”

Zi Yi did not answer him straight away. Instead, she called out towards the door. “Housekeeper.”

The housekeeper walked in from behind the door and said, “Miss Zi, how can I help you?”

“Help me fetch my laptop.”

“I understand.”

The housekeeper soon brought Zi Yi’s laptop to her.

Zi Yi switched on the laptop and asked Zhou Shijin, “Where’s the evidence you’ve gathered?”

“It’s kept somewhere very safe.”

Zhou Shijin wanted to say he would fetch it at once, but Zi Yi had swiftly tapped on the keyboard and had no intentions to let him leave.

After a while, she asked, “What is the evidence stored in?”

“A USB.”

“What’s the number of the USB?”

“254746”

Zi Yi no longer asked him any more questions. Zhou Shiyu wanted to say something but was held back by Zhou Shijin’s gaze.

For a moment, only the tapping sounds of the keyboard could be heard in the living room.

Sometime later, Zi Yi said to the two of them, “It’s done. I’ve copied your evidence over. Come and take a look. If you agree to it, I’ll directly send this evidence to the judicial authorities.”

The Zhou Family brothers looked at her in surprise.

Zi Yi looked up and saw that they were speechless. She then added, “If you don’t wish to go through legal channels, I will directly upload this evidence on the internet. After uploading it, the Zhou Group will be severely affected.”

Zhou Shiyu looked at Zhou Shijin and felt inexplicably excited. “Bro, let’s put the evidence online.”

If they uploaded it on the internet and it caused a huge sensation at that time, the judiciary authorities would also intervene. At that time, they might truly be able to topple the Zhou Family.

A trace of hatred flashed past Zhou Shijin’s eyes and he nodded. “Okay, put it online.”

He was calmer than Zhou Shiyu and he asked, “Can you guarantee that after the evidence is uploaded online, they are unable to remove it?”

“Of course.”

Zi Yi mentioned it casually but the Zhou Family brothers believed that she had the capabilities without needing any specific reason.

After Zi Yi obtained their consent, she started to upload the evidence online.

The Zhou Family brothers could not sit still and they stood up at the same time to stand behind Zi Yi and see the screen.

The lines of codes that appeared on the screen caused the two brothers to feel dizzy.

Just then, the housekeeper standing by the sidelines left to grab two laptops for the two Zhou Family brothers.

“Mr. Zhou, you can check the situation with this laptop.”

Zhou Shijin hastily took the laptop and thanked him before he and Zhou Shiyu walked over and sat down. They then started to browse the net.

When the news headline of [Zhou Family’s First House Eldest Son Framing the Two Young Masters of the Second House, and Had Pocketed 5 Billion From the Company] had forcefully popped up on the screen on everyone’s computer, the whole internet had exploded.

Some people started to complain, just from the sight of the article title.

“It must be fake. Even though the rich families in TV series like to show those fights for power and profit, I doubt real-life rich families would do this?”

“Oh gosh, it’s five billion! I’m someone who has never even seen 50 million in my life. I was stunned for a moment before I realized how many zeros there were behind the five.”

“I feel like I’m watching a TV series.”

“Could it be that someone is deliberately slandering the Zhou Family’s Eldest young master?”

When everyone clicked onto the news article, all the previous discussions stopped.

“What the f**k?! They’re so ruthless!”

“Suddenly I feel that I am very fortunate that I was not born in a rich family. I always felt that the plots of people who harm their own family members for profits, were all exaggerated in TV shows.”

“I suddenly find that the two brothers of the Zhou Family Second House are so pitiful. Not only were their parents murdered, they have also encountered such a thing.”

“Tsk… Is the Zhou Family First House still humans? Not only did they secretly transfer away five billion to frame the two young masters, but the Eldest young master of the First House even had an affair with the girlfriend of the Eldest young master of the Second House.”

“That woman is such a b*tch!”

“What a spectacular drama.”

“Waiting for the follow-up.”

…

A few minutes had passed when the Zhou Family knew of what happened over the internet.

They instantly fell into an uproar. In particular, those from the First House. They were simply in a mess.

“Remove all those news articles online at once! No matter how much money is needed, it must be removed at once!”

“It can’t be removed!”

“Why can’t it be removed?”

PA!

Inside the study room of the First House.

Zhou Hongxu’s father gave him a slap and pointed at his nose as he said angrily, “Didn’t you guarantee that these things will never appear? What’s going on right now?”

Zhou Hongxu’s face turned to the side due to the slap and the corner of his lips had started to bleed. He disregarded the pain on his cheeks and said with a shocked expression, “I don’t know either.”

PA!

Another slap went flying.

Zhou Hongxu swallowed the metallic blood and his bewildered brain seemed to have finally cleared up slightly.

The moment it cleared up, he became afraid. “Father, what should I do now? This has caused a huge uproar over the internet and grandfather will get to know about this very soon!”

“What to do? Now you know how to ask me what to do?” Zhou Hongxu’s father was so angry that his chest rose and fell quickly. “At that time, I had warned you to be more secretive, why didn’t you listen?”

Zhou Hongxu said anxiously, “I was already very secretive.”

He suddenly thought of the kidnappers he had hired and hastily took out his phone to give them a call.

However, what came back was only beeping sounds.

Zhou Hongxu’s heart sank as he knew that something happened on the side of the kidnappers.

His expression instantly turned white and was without the slightest trace of blood. “Father, what should I do now?”

“What to do? What to do?!”

Zhou Hongxu’s father paced around back and forth in the study room and he was also feeling anxious.

Just then, someone knocked on the study room and the father and son suddenly trembled.

“Who?”

The person outside the door replied, “Laoye[1] is calling for you and the young master to make a trip to his place.”

The expressions of the father and son instantly changed upon hearing that.

Zhou Hongxu’s father controlled his voice and said, “I understand. Tell Laoye that we’ll be right over.”

After the person left, Zhou Hongxu’s legs gave out and his lips trembled as he asked, “Father, what should we do now?”

Zhou Hongxu’s father shook and he leaned on the desk as he clenched his fists. A trace of fierceness flashed through his eyes and he gritted his teeth and said, “What can we do? We can only rush headlong into danger right now.”

[1] Laoye is a term to call the head of a family, in particular the Zhou Family.
