Chapter 14: Hiring an Assassin (3), Section 50

  The two sons were so scared that their faces turned white, and they didn't dare to say a word, fearing that the next cup would be smashed on their own face, and when the time came, they would lose face, and the sisters of Xinghua Building might not recognize themselves.

  Zhou Tianhai knew the thoughts of his two sons, he would have been so angry that he would have spat blood on the spot. Seeing the two pale faces, he let out a slight sigh and said: "You've also seen the current situation, the Open Source Wine Tower is reborn from desperation, it's all thanks to General Cao Cao's efforts." After finishing speaking, he muttered to himself: "It seems that he still holds a grudge against us for refusing to donate funds. Now he's using this incident as a warning to our four families!"

  The eldest son, Zhou Jinzhong, was tall and big in stature, unlike Zhou Tianhai who was thin and small. He understood what Zhou Tianhai meant, which was to take the initiative himself. He busied himself trying to please him: "Dad, since things have come to this, why don't we use our old trick again? Let's get someone to sneak into Kaiyuan Wine House and put arsenic in their food. Let them eat themselves to death! See if anyone will still dare to go to their store after that!"

  Zhou Tianhai almost choked with rage, this was his son, a brainless son. The flames that had just been extinguished suddenly flared up again, and he bellowed: "Are you a pig? Nowadays, how many high-ranking officials eat at his place every day? If one of them were to die from eating there, do you think it would be settled by just sealing off his shop? Now that Cao Cao is helping him, he must have received some benefits. How could he pretend nothing happened? In the end, your father, you, and our whole family will all be implicated!"

  Zhou Jinzhong was scolded with a barrage of angry words, instantly becoming like a deflated eggplant, his face purpling, he shut his mouth and refused to speak.

  The second son, Zhou Jinping, looked somewhat like Zhou Tianhai. He was slender and small in stature. Although he spent his days eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, he was more cunning than Zhou Jincheng. Moreover, he deeply understood Zhou Tianhai's temperament. He had already guessed Zhou Tianhai's intentions but didn't say anything out loud. With his older brother's foolish brain, it would be impossible to get a good outcome. Now that the goal had been achieved, he smiled slyly and said in a low voice: "The young master means to find someone to take care of Liu Yuan? As long as Liu Yuan dies, even if the government investigates, as long as we can smooth things over through connections, we can calm down this matter. Besides, Cao Cao is an intelligent person; once Liu Yuan dies, who will still be able to give him benefits? When people die, their money disappears, and Cao Cao will definitely cherish the people in front of him!"

  These words deeply pleased Zhou Tianhai, and he couldn't help but nod his head in approval, laughing: "My son's words are reasonable, and as his father, I also have this intention. However, times are different now, and it's not easy to find someone to do the dirty work of killing people. Since the capital was moved, Hei Er and his gang have disappeared without a trace. Now, finding a reliable person is probably not going to be easy!"
