A car accident, our family of three crossed

"That's right, Master Wan is dead."

This morning, the Wan family went to the county magistrate's mansion to report the death, crying and parading through the streets, so the news of Master Wan's death spread within the morning.

When Zhou Huan heard the news, he specially asked someone to check and confirm the fact.

"Also, the butler beside Master Wan hit his head against a pillar and died, and he also died with Master Wan." He couldn't help but sighed: "What a loyal servant he was."

"But there is no need for the killer to mislead us." Hang Shuheng was puzzled, "Why did Master Wan commit suicide?"

Zhou Huan analyzed: "The family has fallen into decline. The gap between being rich and being penniless makes it hard for them to accept the reality. It is not impossible for them to be depressed for a while. Besides, they think that they have got rid of you, the thorn in their heart, and there is nothing left to be nostalgic about..."

"But since he hired a killer to kill someone, didn't he confirm it?"

"This is indeed puzzling." Zhou Huan joked, "Could it be that the killer did not kill according to the rules, and was worried that his violation of the rules would be exposed, so he turned back to kill people to silence them?" He himself did not believe this.

Hang Shuheng was speechless. "It would be easier to just kill us here than to go through so much trouble to go back and silence us."

"You have a point. To put it another way, maybe the employer behind this is not Master Wan." Zhou Huan said his guess, paused, and then said, "Most people who do shady deals will contact each other on the black market. I will send someone to the black market to find out later."

"Is there any danger?"

"Not really."

When Hang Shuheng heard that there would be no danger, he gladly accepted it and chuckled, "I just repaid a favor, but I didn't expect to owe another one so soon."

"Hahaha! We are so familiar with each other, so don't mention any favors." Zhou Huan laughed heartily, and then stopped laughing and said seriously: "Just stop arguing with your uncle."

"Okay, why don't we move to the study to talk?"

"please."

After entering the study, the two began to talk about business. Hang Shuheng said that he was easy to talk to, but when he competed with Zhou Huan for profit, he did not give in at all. For a while, the two of them went back and forth, bargaining, and the dispute was difficult to determine.

From 50% to 20% of the profit, Zhou Huan would naturally not agree to give up such a large profit. "10%, this is the limit I can give."

But Hang Shuheng said shamelessly: "I think we can't make this deal. Alas, you don't know, my wife racked her brains to design these styles. It hurts me to see it."

He pushed the atlas and the drawings he later took out in front of Zhou Huan, "Even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have a bond. You can take these drawings. I won't charge you a penny. Making money is a man's job. It's better for her not to work so hard."

"You..." Zhou Huan was speechless for a moment, then he sighed and said with a wry smile: "I have been doing business for half my life, and today I was taken advantage of by a young man like you."

The price this guy called just hit his bottom line, but he still needed to fight for it. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Let's each take a step back and take a 15% interest. If you still can't accept it, I'll leave immediately."

Oh! You are getting impatient!

Hang Shuheng decided to take it when he saw that things were going well. "Okay, let's do this! I'm not someone who doesn't know what's good for me. I'll take the half of the profit as a favor to Uncle Zhou!"

After this competition, Zhou Huan had to look at Hang Shuheng with new eyes. If he didn't know that he was just a scholar, he would have really thought that he was a veteran who had been in the business world for many years. Before, he only thought that Hang Shuheng was just a relatively smart scholar, but now it seems that he is more than just smart, he is also very smooth.

As if he was afraid that Hang Shuheng would change his mind, Zhou Huan immediately ground ink, wrote a contract, and stamped it with the seal he carried with him. The contract was then established.

Hang Shuheng couldn't help laughing when watching him do this.

After the matter was settled, Zhou's father and daughter said goodbye to the family of three and returned to the county town. As soon as they entered the mansion, the doorman reported, "Master, Zhou Yin is back."

"Tell him to come and see me in the study."

Upon hearing that Zhou Yin had returned, Zhou Ru pestered her father to go to the study and wait together. She hadn't received a letter from her brother for a long time. The last time she learned that Zhou Yin had returned to the capital, she specifically asked him to take a letter back.

Zhou Yin was looking for something to eat in the kitchen when he heard a message from a servant. He quickly stuffed his mouth full and went to the study. When he reached the door of the study, he managed to chew the food in his mouth and swallowed it, then he burped.

The study door was not closed, so he walked straight in, "Boss, Miss."

Zhou Ru ran up to him excitedly and asked, "How is it? Is brother okay? Did he ask you to bring anything back?"

"The eldest master prepared some toys that girls in the capital like and asked me to bring them back. I have already sent them to the young lady's courtyard, along with a letter from the eldest master."

"Really? That's great, Dad. I'll go back to the yard first." Without waiting for Zhou Huan to respond, she ran away.

After Zhou Ru left, Zhou Yin closed the door of the study, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Huan, "A handwritten letter from the prince."

After Zhou Huan read the letter, as expected, the prince asked them to maintain a close and friendly relationship with the Hang family and to lend a helping hand in time if the Hang family needed it. The purpose of the letter was to protect the Hang family.

"What does the prince have to say?" Zhou Yin asked.

"The prince asked us to protect the three members of the Hang family."

Zhou Yin showed an expression of "as expected", "I asked Chu Shisan, the Hang family saved the master's life." Thinking of it, he couldn't help but laugh. There were thirteen people in the Chu Guard, and all of them were smart people. Only Chu Shisan, a fool with a simpleton's brain, could be tricked into talking.

"Hurry, tell me." Zhou Huan is interested?

However, Zhou Yin could not get much out of him. After Chu Shisan slipped up and revealed that the Hang family had saved his master's life, he came to his senses and stopped talking about it.

Zhou Huan felt a little regretful that he couldn't hear the gossip about his master. He sighed and said, "Let's not talk about other things for now. There is something I need you to find out about right now."

"Please give your orders, shopkeeper."

"Two days ago, a family of three from the Hang family was nearly murdered." Zhou Huan told Zhou Yin the clues he had heard from Hang Shuheng.

Zhou Yin was shocked. "What? The Hang family was assassinated? Who wants their lives?"

"Shuheng suspected it was Master Wan, but Master Wan hanged himself in his room last night."

Shu, Shuheng?

Zhou Yin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and complained in his heart, when did their relationship become so close?
