I use the fox fairy to suppress all ghosts
Chapter 3911 It's not about the money
My sudden action startled everyone.
Uncle Hu said, puzzled, "Young Master, Wangzai is my brother who has gone through thick and thin with me. Are you just going to abandon him?"
“Uncle Tiger, I met with their people today. They said they would release Uncle Ma as long as we leave Hong Kong Island, otherwise they would have to collect Uncle Ma’s body.” I said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Hu fell silent, unsure of what to say.
Master Zhou said, "Young Master Wu, if you leave like this, the Zhou family will be completely wiped out. I estimate that not a single person will be left alive."
"Yes, Mr. Wu, you can't leave! I'll pay more, name your price, as long as you can save the lives of my whole family." Boss Zhou also panicked.
I glanced at Boss Zhou and immediately walked over to him: "Boss Zhou, let's talk in private."
As I spoke, I led Boss Zhou into a room and quickly set up an isolation array using yellow paper talismans and copper coins to prevent eavesdroppers.
The Zhou family is a large and wealthy family with many servants. I'm afraid there might be spies bribed by the other party.
"Young Master Wu, you really can't leave! I've figured it out now. They want to kill my whole family. If you leave, we're all doomed. Only you can save us," Boss Zhou said, his voice trembling with tears, as soon as he entered the room.
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, let me explain slowly," I said with a smile, trying to comfort him.
"Young Master Wu, please tell me, what exactly happened? You met with their people, who are they, and why did they want to kill us?" Boss Zhou was still panicked.
“Boss Zhou, I did meet with their people. As you know, our friend Ma Yuanwang in Hong Kong is now in their hands. If he doesn’t leave, he will definitely die. As for who they are, I don’t know right now. The person I met with this time was just an intermediary, helping to pass on a message.” I said seriously.
"Young Master Wu, it seems you really are leaving..." Boss Zhou was very disappointed and shook his head with a sigh.
“Boss Zhou, I’m not really leaving. The reason I said that earlier was because I felt that someone in your family was watching our every move. I was just putting on a show for them. Uncle Hu and Master Zhou will be leaving in a bit. I’ll stay behind, but there’s something I need to ask you.”
When I said I wasn't leaving, Boss Zhou's eyes lit up again: "Young Master Wu, you're not leaving? That's great! If there's anything you need, just say the word... If you want more money, no problem at all."
"It's not about the money. I want to ask if your driver is reliable?" I suddenly asked.
Boss Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Xiao Sun should be fine. His father used to be his driver, but now that he's older, his son has taken over. I've always been good to his family. This kid has been driving for me for three or four years now, and he's been doing well and is very obedient."
"Here's the thing, Mr. Zhou. Before dark, my friend will send me a mask that looks exactly like mine. You'll have your driver wear my human skin mask and leave with Uncle Hu and the others. I'll stay here and help you handle the rest. I won't leave until this matter is completely resolved. I'm not doing this out of fear of them, but because I'm worried that Ma Yuanwang will die at their hands," I explained to Mr. Zhou.
“No problem. I’ll talk to Xiao Sun about this. He can go back to Yanbei with Master Zhou and the others for a few days. Once things are settled here, he can come back.” Master Zhou said quickly.
“That’s exactly what I meant,” I said with a smile.
"By the way, Mr. Wu, is that mask you mentioned reliable? Can it be detected at security checkpoints?" Boss Zhou was very worried.
"Don't worry about that, I have a plan. Just do as I say."
I'm still confident about this. Even if he can't get through security, I'll notify Huang Tao in advance so that Xiao Sun can get through smoothly.
However, I think the human skin mask that Li Mubai made should be fine.
After this matter was settled, I spoke to Boss Zhou again: "Boss Zhou, tell me the truth, with such a large business, do you have any competitors who have stolen your business? As the saying goes, blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents. Business disputes can easily escalate to the point where the other party might try to kill you." I looked into Master Zhou's eyes to see what he would say.
“Young Master Wu, I really don’t have any enemies or competitors. I’m in the jewelry business, and I’m the biggest in Hong Kong. Besides, there’s no such thing as competition in the jewelry business, so it’s impossible for me to have such a big grudge with anyone,” Boss Zhou said with a bitter face.
Just then, I suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I've been here for several days and I don't think I've seen Madam Zhou. Where did she go?"
The reason I asked this question is because I encountered a feng shui case in Northeast China before. A woman wanted to inherit her ex-husband's property, so she hired a feng shui master to kill her ex-husband's family. I was worried that Mr. Zhou might encounter a similar situation.
Boss Zhou's assets far exceed those of that boss in Northeast China. For so much money, people are willing to take any risk.
Upon hearing my question, Boss Zhou suddenly sighed and said, "My wife passed away ten years ago. Our son was only seven or eight years old at the time. She died of an illness, a terminal one. Why is Young Master Wu asking about this?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I brought up something that upset you. It's alright, I was just asking out of curiosity." As I spoke, I deactivated the isolation array and beckoned Mr. Zhou to leave.
At that moment, I started to wonder, damn it, who exactly did Boss Zhou offend? His wife died, and he didn't have any business rivals, so who was trying to get him?
Could the problem lie with his son or daughter?
My head is spinning.
The conversation just now reassured Mr. Zhou, but I still made it clear to him that after his driver puts on the human skin mask, he must pretend to be reluctant to let me leave, and not give anything away, otherwise everything will be in vain.
To ensure his family's survival, Boss Zhou had to force himself to have acting skills even if he didn't have any.
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Kasang's voice suddenly appeared in my ear: "Brother Wu, I'm here. Brother Luo asked me to get the human skin mask, and I've already gotten it from Li Mubai. What's next?"
