However, before he could speak, someone on the side took over the conversation.
The third child, Zhong Shiping, broke the silence and said calmly: "Brother, didn't you say that this time it was foolproof? Now it's better. Not only is the yellow gray broken, but life and death are unknown, and now others think that we sent assassins.
To assassinate Yang Hong, the Northeast is currently experiencing the invasion of giant snow bears from the south. It is a good time to hunt giant snow bears, but now the Tie family is showing off to us. Without their help, our Zhong family would really have to go to the south this year.
It’s been a cold winter year.”
Zhong Shiying's face twitched again. After his precious son's accident, he was no longer the eldest son of the Zhong family.
Although the third child didn't respect him in the past, he didn't dare to question him directly in front of the old man.
He looked at Zhong Shijie who was calm on the side, turned around, looked at Zhong Shiping and sneered slightly: "Third brother, is this what you mean, or is it what the second child means?"
"Brother, I'm just stating a fact. Could it be that everything has happened now and there's not even an explanation?" Zhong Shiping asked with the same cold face.
Before Zhong Shiying could speak, the fourth child Zhong Shian could not sit still. He immediately stared at Zhong Shiping with a sneer and said: "Second child, it doesn't hurt your back to speak while standing. Things in the north are not always controlled by
Are you and the second brother responsible? You can't settle the situation with the Tie family, but you put the blame on the eldest brother. What kind of skills do you have?"
"Fourth, what are you talking about?" Zhong Shijie heard this and immediately glanced at Zhong Shi'an, "According to your wishes, is it my fault that the Tie family doesn't cooperate with us now?"
Zhong Shi'an obviously did not buy Zhong Shijie's account: "Second brother, if you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern. Since you are in charge of the north, you should naturally settle everything. Isn't this a matter of course?"
"Fourth brother, you are really good at using strong words to reason." Zhong Shiping sneered, "You don't want to hug your thigh like this, right?"
"Zhong Shiping, why are you talking?" After hearing this, Zhong Shi'an quit.
"Bang!" Before he finished speaking, Zhong Sheng slapped his palm directly on the desk. In an instant, a good pear wood table turned into powder: broken wood flew everywhere, and the four heroes of the Zhong family were so frightened that they fled around.
"That's enough, you beasts. Before I die, you have started attacking each other and fighting for power. If I die, won't the Zhong family be destroyed directly by you?"
The four of them were so frightened by Zhong Sheng's move that they looked at each other for a long time.
Finally, Zhong Shiying was the first to react and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Dad, this time, it was indeed my mistake. I really didn't expect that with such a sophisticated arrangement, this operation could fail, but please give me details. I am confident that Huang Hui is dead. Even if he is not dead,
I believe he will not betray us. So even if they think we did it, they won’t have any evidence."
Seeing Zhong Shiying kneeling down, Zhong Sheng's expression finally returned to normal, but he still sneered: "Huh, it's okay if you die, but if you are captured alive, you have to be prepared to be ripped off."
If they really don’t know it was us who did it, would the Tie family take these actions?"
"I think the reason why the Tie family is like this is just a coincidence. In fact, since Lingland Island can supply them with crystals in large quantities, the Tie family has not been very interested in spending a lot of manpower to actively hunt giant snow bears, so this
It's just a change in form, we don't need to be dissatisfied." Zhong Shiying took the initiative to defend himself.
"Then tell me, is Huang Hui dead or alive?"
"Well, quite a few of the people who participated in this operation were arrested and then released after signing an agreement. Huang Hui was not included in this, so it's hard to say whether they were arrested or died.
But I tend to think that he was probably caught first, and then he would have died if he didn't give in."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Because of the confidentiality in advance, I did not send more people to participate in this operation. I only provided funds to Huang Hui, and then he organized those free warriors to siege the fairy city base. Therefore, except for Huang Hui himself, there was no other
People know he is one of ours."
"Isn't this nonsense? What I want to know is, is he dead or alive?" Zhong Sheng asked impatiently.
"Maybe he's still alive." Zhong Shiying finally had to admit honestly, "But I can guarantee that he will definitely not betray us. He still has a family and children in my hands. I don't think he dares to talk nonsense."
"Brother, what you are doing is wrong. Huang Hui is working for our Zhong family anyway. Now you are using his family to threaten him. Isn't this too chilling for others?" Zhong Shijie heard this.
, immediately frowned and said.
Zhong Shiying frowned, but glanced at Zhong Sheng secretly. After seeing that he had no expression, he immediately defended: "Dad, if it wasn't a last resort, I wouldn't choose such a despicable method, but it matters.
It is important, no matter what, the interests of the Zhong family must be protected first."
"No matter what, I don't agree with you doing this." Zhong Shijie said lightly.
"Okay, stop talking and stop being so hypocritical. If you were to do this, I'm afraid you'd do it better than my elder brother. Just listen to what dad said." Zhong Shi'an sneered.
Hearing this, Zhong Shijie said no more and his eyes fell on Zhong Sheng's face.
Zhong Sheng's face was very ugly. He stared at his four sons who had their own evil intentions, feeling angry in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said slowly: "Although I don't agree with their family's life being held hostage to hold our own people hostage, Shiying also has many options this time, so let's forget it this time, but it won't be the same next time.
"
Then he stared at everyone, slowly swept around, and said calmly: "However, even if Shiying thinks that Huang Hui will not betray our Zhong family, we must prepare for the worst, assuming that Ning Yi already knows about Huang Hui
identity, then they will inevitably think that the assassins are also sent by us. In this case, the Tie family and Yang Hong will definitely regard us as enemies, and we must be prepared to deal with it."
"Shijie, you are a stable person, you are responsible for the affairs of the north, and you have a good relationship with the Tie family. You will be responsible for communication this time."
Hearing this, Zhong Shijie nodded: "I understand, Dad."
Zhong Shiping sneered and muttered: "Eldest brother is really lucky. You pooped yourself, but you asked your second brother to wipe your ass."
"Shi Ping, don't be wordy." Zhong Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, "Why are you talking to your elder brother?"
When Zhong Shiping heard this, he stopped saying anything.
Zhong Sheng's eyes turned to Zhong Shiying: "And Shiying, please stand up first. You must confirm again and again about Huang Hui. Whether he is dead or alive, and whether he has any clues, you have to check everything for me.
Chu, you can’t slack off even a little bit, do you understand?”
"Understood, Dad." Zhong Shiying quickly got up, and Zhong Sheng was willing to let him get up, which proved that he was not desperate for himself yet.
"Okay, this matter about the Tie family is still a trivial matter. Now the bigger thing is what happened today." Zhong Sheng obviously didn't want to waste too much time on the Tie family's matters. His eyes fell on the desk, and then
He found that the desk had been smashed to pieces by himself, so he could only frown and said, "I believe you have all seen today's newspaper, right?"
"Look!"
"What do you think?" Zhong Sheng stared at the four people and asked slowly.
"Dad, I think this old man Mu Lie is out of his mind. He's already so old and he still likes to be in the limelight." Zhong Shi'an was the first to speak.
Zhong Sheng rolled his eyes at him, turned to Zhong Shijie and asked, "Shijie, what do you think?"
"Dad, this matter is not trivial." Zhong Shijie pondered for a moment and then said, "This time, Mr. Mu is not just trying to show off. Think about it, how long has it been since he was in the newspaper? Like you, Dad.
After seclusion, he rarely interfered with secular affairs, but this time he not only visited Linglan Island in person, but also killed a red demon dragon with his own hands, and also let media reporters publicize it, for fear that others would not know that he killed a red demon on Linglan Island.
Like a dragon."
"Then tell me, what is Mu Lie doing this time?" Zhong Sheng asked calmly.
"It's very simple. He is warning, warning and reminding all those who want to get involved in Linglan Island. That territory belongs to his Mu family."
"Second brother, you are being too alarmist. The Mu family has been friends with us for generations. You seem to be deliberately provoking it by saying this. You know that the eldest brother has a good relationship with Mu Fengyang. Now you are spreading the word about Mr. Mu, intentionally or unintentionally, against us.
, what is the purpose?" Zhong Shi'an jumped out immediately after hearing this.
Then he stared at Zhong Shijie: "Go on, treat his words as farts, what do you think Mu Lie's purpose is?"
"Dad, it's very simple. The Mu family now controls more than half of Linglan Island, and indirectly affects the other two bases through the 32 Group. It can be said that the Mu family has the greatest influence on Linglan Island now, and the former Tianxian City base
Just after the attack, Mr. Mu appeared on the island the next day to kill the red demon dragon. This is clearly telling anyone who wants to get involved in Linglan Island that as long as he is here, you will not even think about coming. Therefore, this is definitely a warning.
."
Zhong Sheng frowned: "Then how do you think we should deal with it?"
After Zhong Shijie heard this, his eyes fell on Zhong Shiying's face, showing a look of hesitation.
Zhong Shiying frowned and said unhappily: "Second brother, if you have something to say, say it directly. Why are you staring at me?"
Zhong Shijie smiled slightly and said, "Brother, I'm afraid that if I say anything, you might misunderstand me. After all, the south is your territory. It's not good if I cross the line."
"You can just say so." Zhong Shiying responded calmly, "My ability to bear it is not that bad." (To be continued...)
