TWWMABMTBH Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Clues

The situation has now escalated to the point of no return, and the Zhou family has no room for maneuver. Their only chance to reverse the situation is to minimize the scope of harm, sacrifice the pawn to save the king, and after sacrificing Zhou Lao San, preserve the majority of the Zhou family’s business.

Alternatively, they could find an opportunity to turn the tables, such as proving that the whistleblower, Rong Ziyan, has his own flaws and obtaining evidence to prove he is maliciously slandering the Zhou family.

However, given the current circumstances, both of these goals are difficult to achieve. The former is controlled by the System, and their people do not dare to act rashly at this moment. Therefore, the only way out is still through Rong Ziyan.

As long as they can prove Rong Ziyan has a problem and find a breakthrough point, they can follow the trail.

But clearly, what the Zhou family understands, Ji Shu is also well aware of.

However, unlike what the Zhou family thinks, Rong Ziyan is not just a simple hunting target for Ji Shu. Ji Shu would gladly offer himself, along with all of the Ji family’s assets, to Rong Ziyan.

Ji Shu’s greatest hope is that everything goes smoothly for Rong Ziyan. Especially in the matter of the Zhou family, if the Zhou family wants to plot against Rong Ziyan, Ji Shu intends to kill them directly.

As for Zhou Lao Da’s despicable plans, Ji Shu was even more dismissive after receiving the information.

“Boss, this is not a small matter.” His subordinate couldn’t help but remind Ji Shu. Ji Shu’s health is not good, and the dosage the Zhou family is looking for is not just about Ji Shu losing control, it would directly send Ji Shu to his grave.

But Ji Shu didn’t seem to care much. Instead, he said softly, “As long as I don’t die, the Zhou family will have to pay for their petty tricks.”

“…” Ji Shu’s words shocked his subordinate.

Unlike Rong Ziyan, Ji Shu controls red-hat hacker technology that is enough to sway the entire international network. If not for the Ji family’s strength, the higher-ups would probably want to put Ji Shu in a vacuum for protection.

But these things are only known to Ji Shu and his confidants. Even Old Master Ji is not aware of it, let alone the Zhou family.

Therefore, if the Zhou family rashly attacks Ji Shu at this time, even if they are unsuccessful, being discovered on the spot would be enough to give them a headache. But listening to Ji Shu’s tone, he actually plans to take a risk and directly nail the Zhou family for the crime of scheming to take lives for money?

“Boss, if there is a problem… this, this is not worth the loss!”

But Ji Shu did not even hesitate. He directly gave the order, “No need to say more, just do it this way.”

If the Zhou family is not eliminated, it will always be a huge threat to Rong Ziyan. Ji Shu knows his limits and doesn’t intend to use favors to seek repayment. He only wants Rong Ziyan to be safe.

After ending the call with his subordinate, Ji Shu leaned against the doorframe and looked at Rong Ziyan who was busy in the laboratory. His eyes were exceptionally gentle, and even the remaining sharpness on his body melted into affection.

He got this life for free. If he could, he hoped to live a few more years and stay by Rong Ziyan’s side for a long time, watching his brilliant future.

Gathering his thoughts, Ji Shu turned and left. He still had to inform Old Master Ji about the Zhou family’s plan to attack.

Although the old man is always wary of him, afraid that he, the unscrupulous rabbit, will eat the grass near his den, he is ultimately soft-hearted. If something really happened to him, he would probably be rescued before the Zhou family’s trap is fully set up, which would ruin his plan.

Ji Shu knows very well that the Zhou family is finished. What he wants to do is a foolish act in the eyes of others. But Ji Shu doesn’t care; he wants to ensure that everything is foolproof. He wants to make sure that the Zhou family is completely wiped out in this incident and can no longer harm Rong Ziyan’s future in any way.

At this time, Rong Ziyan in the laboratory suddenly stopped what he was doing.

System: What’s wrong?

Rong Ziyan: Don’t you think Ji Shu looked at me strangely just now?

System: Heh, you’ve been hugging for so long and you’re just noticing it now?

Rong Ziyan: No, it’s really strange.

Rong Ziyan couldn’t explain it, but he felt that Ji Shu seemed to be planning something, perhaps related to the Zhou family. However, there are no leads at the moment, so he could only wait.

Meanwhile, online, the issue of toxic feed had already intensified.

Starting with the severe illness of the internet-famous goose, people have successively begun to report that their poultry are getting sick after eating the feed.

Of course, there may be some people trying to muddy the waters and sensationalize the issue, but more of them are reporting genuine cases.

Putting aside everything else, let’s just talk about the large-scale poultry farmers in the Northeast, who relied on these poultry to earn money. Now they are all sick, and they still have a pile of toxic feed they can’t deal with. It is despairing to even think about it.

“My dad is old, and this incident caused him to have a cerebral hemorrhage and he fainted. He is still in the intensive care unit for emergency treatment.”

“It’s the same in our village. Hundreds of people rely on the poultry farming industry for a living. The feed is toxic, and all the poultry is sick. Even if they are cured, they can’t be sold at a good price. They were already four months old, and in another two months, they could have been sold for money. Now it’s all over.”

“Same here! My mom just finished crying at dinner. She is afraid that after eating this meal, there won’t be another one!”

These are the most painful cries from the victims. At first glance, they seem ordinary, but upon closer inspection, every word seems to be pulled out from a pool of blood, piercing and heartbreaking.

At this time, the class group where Rong Ziyan and others were in was also restless.

Although no one directly called out the Rich Second Generation, everyone’s attitude toward this matter was obvious.

If it weren’t for the Zhou family’s misconduct, how could so many things have been involved?

And the Rich Second Generation, who had no brain, even tried to explain that these things were done by his third uncle and had nothing to do with him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was attacked by his classmates in the group.

“Have some shame! It has nothing to do with you.”

“Didn’t you spend the Zhou family’s money or borrow the Zhou family’s influence? You’re eating blood-soaked steamed buns and still pretending to be a pure white lotus flower. I’d say, young master, is your face really that thick?”

In the past, everyone was afraid of the Rich Second Generation’s vindictiveness and dared not say these things directly.

But now it’s different. After graduation, everyone went their separate ways. How far could the Zhou family’s hands reach? Especially those who returned to their hometowns after graduation were even more unrestrained.

The Rich Second Generation was so angry that he almost lost his mind, but he was unable to refute it and ultimately could only slam his phone down.

Lying on the sofa, he felt what it was like to be the target of public criticism for the first time. It was also the first time he felt that he had nowhere to turn for help.

Thinking back a year ago, he could easily ruin Rong Ziyan and destroy his future with just a little manipulation. But now… Rong Ziyan has become the one who holds all the cards, controlling the crucial evidence that could condemn the Zhou family to death.

In fact, the Rich Second Generation didn’t know that Rong Ziyan’s connection with the Zhou family could be traced back to the previous generation.

Now that the toxic feed issue has been confirmed, Rong Ziyan is considering the possibility of overturning another case – the toxic health products that caused his family’s demise.

System: Can you still find evidence?

Rong Ziyan: I definitely can, but it will take some effort.

Unlike the System’s worry about the lack of evidence, Rong Ziyan never believed that the Zhou family could cover everything up.

It was just that in the past, the deaths of his parents and uncle were treated as sacrifices, and the remaining victims could only endure in silence.

But now it is different. The Zhou family is facing the brink of collapse, and if he doesn’t stand up now to take revenge and get justice, he will have to take the secret to the grave.

System: But didn’t all the victims who consumed the toxic health products die?

Rong Ziyan: Indeed they died, but their families are still here.

Moreover, not only are their families still around, Rong Ziyan speculated that the lawyer must still be around. It’s just that he may either be suppressed and unable to recover, or have been forced to change careers and work in another job.

But as long as he looks for them, he will eventually find them.

However, there is no need to discuss this with anyone else. Rong Ziyan felt that he shouldn’t trouble others, so he subconsciously avoided Ji Shu. But unexpectedly, he found the Class Monitor for help. Rong Ziyan remembered that the Class Monitor’s father was also a veteran in the legal field, and the case was quite a big deal back then, so he might have some impressions.

So, Rong Ziyan found a quiet place and took the initiative to call the Class Monitor, briefly describing the situation of the lawyer he remembered.

As a result, the Class Monitor was stunned after listening.

“What do you need this person for?” The Class Monitor’s tone was unusually hesitant.

Rong Ziyan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to tell the truth.

“I want to try to overturn the verdict for my parents. There needs to be an outcome for what happened back then.”

The Class Monitor was silent for a long time before saying, “Rong, I know this person, but I can’t guarantee he can help you.”

“You know him?”

“Yes.” The Class Monitor sighed deeply, “Not only do I know him, but he is also related to me by blood.”

“What a coincidence?”

“Yes! It’s such a coincidence. Otherwise, why do you think I always felt so uncomfortable with that young master?” The Class Monitor gave a wry smile, “I originally thought that I wanted to be closer to you because we were in the same boat, but now it seems that we are truly in the same boat.”

“That lawyer is…”

“He’s my uncle, my father’s younger brother. It’s a pity… he’s already gone mad.” The Class Monitor’s voice was trembling with suppressed pain, “My uncle was the youngest undefeated general in the circle back then, specializing in legal aid cases.”

“He didn’t earn much money, but he was very kind and his talent was beyond doubt!”

“If he hadn’t taken on the Zhou family’s case, he would probably be a well-known expert in the industry now. How could the Zhou family have ruined him so easily?”

“Are you saying that after my parents’ accident, the Zhou family didn’t let him go?”

“How could they let him go?” The Class Monitor took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and then continued, “After your parents’ car accident, my uncle suddenly disappeared.”

“There were no leads even when we called the police. It wasn’t until a week later that my uncle was found collapsed in an alley with no external injuries. But after he woke up, he had gone mad.”

“There were no witnesses and no evidence on his body. Even though we knew that the Zhou family had done it, we could only accept it.”

“Later, after my father’s business started to take off, he kept trying to get justice for my uncle. But the Zhou family was impenetrable, and he couldn’t find any loopholes.”

“So you knew about this from the beginning?”

“Yes! The moment I entered the campus and saw that young master, I knew he was a Zhou family member.”

“When I saw those dirty things he did to target you, I thought, sure enough, the Zhou family is rotten to the core, and even the small ones aren’t good for anything.”

“I should have thought of it. The Zhou family is full of evildoers, and you are so zen, yet you still can’t get along with him. It must be due to an old grudge.” The Class Monitor mumbled to himself a few times, and then said to Rong Ziyan, “Rong! I’ll go back and discuss this with my father. You wait for my news.”

“Okay!” Rong Ziyan nodded. The two talked for a couple more sentences and then hung up the phone.

Leaning against the wall, Rong Ziyan reviewed all his memories about the Zhou family’s health product case from the past, trying to find a new clue.

Just then, a very unfamiliar researcher rushed over and grabbed Rong Ziyan’s wrist, pulling him out.

“Hurry and come with me! It’s too late! Young Master Ji is sick and insists on seeing you!”

Rong Ziyan was caught off guard and staggered, but the next second, he calmly shook off the man’s hand and asked calmly, “Has Ji Shu become some kind of spirit?”

“Huh?” The man was confused.

Rong Ziyan pointed to the name tag on his chest. “I’m a veterinarian. He’s a living person, if he’s sick why don’t you call 120. What use do I have?”
