I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang
Chapter 578: A Better Chess
Shen Lanxi was born with a graceful figure, giving people the illusion that he was aloof and indifferent to the world. When the four words "stop killing with killing" came out of his mouth, there was a sense of separation as if the holy moonlight had grown thorns and pierced the sky.
If the two big families were to engage in internal fighting, not only would it be costly and time-consuming, but the situation would also be turbulent.
All of a sudden everyone's expressions changed and they started whispering to each other.
Zhou Guochao never thought that one day he would be threatened by a junior, but now all the evidence is unfavorable to the Zhou family, and he cannot help but consider it.
The South Bay elevated highway speeding case has not yet been resolved. If the Zhou family is involved in another scandal involving murder and drug trafficking, I am afraid it will be a serious blow.
But he really couldn't understand it. The situation was obviously favorable just a second ago, so how did it suddenly turn out like this?
Zhou Yuanzheng noticed his father's hesitation and looked at Shen Zhuang with a relaxed expression. "Uncle Shen, there must be a misunderstanding here. Our two families have been friends for many years. Yuanzheng would never do such a thing."
Shen Zhuang was quite satisfied with the impromptu performance of Shen Lanxi and the other two, and pretended to be deaf and dumb. "Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding could there be? Didn't your Zhou family clamor to settle accounts with me? What? Did I get this account wrong?"
Zhou Guochao clenched his fists tightly.
Zhou Yuanzheng couldn't stand Shen Zhuang's murderous aura, so he forced a smile and turned to look at Zhou Guochao, "Dad..."
Zhou Guochao closed his eyes, stood up, and bowed to Shen Zhuang. "It's my fault for not understanding this matter. When I heard that Ah Bai's legs were broken, I was so angry that I lost my composure."
"Now that I think about it, there must be a murderer behind this. He deliberately set up a plot to lure Ah Bai into it, in order to create a rift between our two families so that he could reap the benefits.
"That fool Ah Bai was deceived and thought my niece was really behaving badly, so he over-enforced the law. I beg Mr. Shen to forgive him this time, considering our long-standing friendship."
The Zhou family has surrendered?!
Everyone's expressions became more subtle, and their eyes looked at Shen Zhuang with more and more respect.
"Save him?"
Shen Zhuang smiled, his expression calm and composed, and it was obvious that he did not take the Zhou family's apology seriously.
"If your son hadn't repeatedly obstructed and delayed treatment, how could my daughter have almost died? Not to mention, he even had the audacity to call on the Ministry of National Defense to threaten and intimidate my two granddaughters at gunpoint!"
"Zhou Guochao, do you think I'm dead?"
Shen Zhuang raised his hand, grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it at Zhou Guochao's feet.
He became much kinder in his later years and had not shown his sharp edge for a long time, but today the scabbard was out and it was impossible not to see blood.
With a "bang", the white lamp shattered and flew into pieces.
Everyone was so frightened that they stood up and moved away. Even Yu Siwen hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.
A drop of tea splashed and landed right on Zhou Guochao's cheek. He weighed the pros and cons several times before finally sighing and bowing again.
"Abai was not thoughtful enough about this matter. I will definitely give you an explanation when I return."
Shen Zhuang waved his hand, "There's no need to go back. If you want to explain, explain it now."
Things had already developed to this point, and Zhou Guochao had no reason to remain stubborn. "What does Mr. Shen want to explain?"
Shen Zhuang, "Your son's legs..."
Zhou Guochao, "He is not good at judging people and making decisions. I also want to thank Mr. Shen for disciplining that idiot for me."
Shen Zhuang, "The evidence and witnesses that the police station searched that day..."
"Since it's all framed by the murderer, it naturally doesn't count. Don't worry, Mr. Shen. The Zhou family hates drug trafficking and will definitely not get involved."
Shen Zhuang said, "That's all easy to discuss. There's one more thing I hope Mr. Zhou can consider."
Zhou Guochao clenched the agarwood in his hand, "Mr. Shen, please speak."
Shen Zhuang, "Ah Bai's inability to judge people and make decisions clearly shows that he doesn't have the ability to hold the position of Chief of Police. To prevent him from continuing to harm innocent people, I advise the Zhou family to step down and let someone more capable take over."
This statement may seem casual, but it actually provides a clear path.
Zhou Guochao's face sank to the bottom, "Mr. Shen..."
Shen Zhuang interrupted him, "There's always a lesson for doing something wrong. How can people learn without a price? I'm doing this for the Zhou family's sake. After all, you can't afford another fool who jumps into a trap."
"Father..." Zhou Yuan was about to speak, but Zhou Guochao raised his hand to stop him and looked at Shen Zhuang quietly.
It took the Zhou family six years to get Zhou Yuanbai to the position of Chief of the Jinggang Police Station. This position is only one step away from entering Congress. Shen Zhuang is very resourceful. He is pinching his vital point to cut off the Zhou family's path to advancement.
But if it is true as Shen Zhuang said, the Zhou family was obviously being plotted against, and now they can't blame anyone else for being retaliated against.
Zhou Guochao knew that he had lost the game, so he waved his hand and said, "Well, goodbye." Then he walked out of the hall without looking back.
Is this agreed?
Looking at Zhou Guochao's almost running back, everyone couldn't help but admire Shen Zhuang's methods and came forward to greet him.
Under normal circumstances, Shen Zhuang would have treated the guests with a certain degree of gentleness, but today was the Hongmen Banquet, and he had to let them know the proper attitude.
Shen Zhuang was serious and criticized the Ministry of National Defense in a few words, which made Zhang Ke tremble with fear.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shen Zhuang stopped pretending and asked Zheng Song to send the guest away.
Seeing this, the alliance that surrendered to the Shen family was delighted.
With Zhou Yuanbai's resignation, the police department will surely undergo a major reshuffle. The change of power in Jinggang Port is actually just a matter of thought by the old man. Who wouldn't say after seeing this: The Shen family has such a good support.
After Su Jingliu stood up to say goodbye, Yu Siwen, the Fu family, and the Yao family also left one after another. Gu Cifeng waited for a long time, and only went forward to talk to them after seeing that most of the people in the main hall had left.
Because of the marriage relationship, Shen Zhuang's expression softened a little. When Gu Cifeng turned around to leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression was obscure. "Give my regards to Old Madam Gu."
Gu Cifeng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Shen Qingyu, smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Xiangying.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the vase on the table hit the corner of the wall, and the clear water in the vase spilled all over the floor.
Shen Che's eyes were bloodshot, and his facial features seemed distorted due to excessive anger.
Unexpectedly, the trap he set at the cost of being expelled from the tribe not only failed to kill Shen Jiao, but also made himself a stray dog.
Shen Zhuang left him in Xiangying and returned to Jinggang without even saying goodbye, which meant he had made up his mind not to recognize him.
But what Shen Che found most ironic was that all this was actually a trap set by Shen Zhuang to catch the traitor.
"How does he know there's a traitor in the Shen family?"
The water stains on the ground slowly seeped through the cracks in the bluestone bricks. Shen Che stared at the gradually expanding water marks, muttering to himself, "Could it be that he discovered something?"
Somehow, Shen Che suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Just then, the phone on the table vibrated.
The caller ID is garbled.
The emotions on Shen Che's face changed several times, and he couldn't control it anymore. He could only pat his cheeks hard to calm himself down quickly.
"How many times have I told you? Don't contact me unless it's necessary." His tone was as cold as stone when he answered the phone.
"Dad..." Unexpectedly, the voice on the other end of the phone was even colder, "Aze is dead."
"..."
The emotions Shen Che had suppressed with great difficulty shattered in an instant. His fingers suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and the phone slipped gently...
