Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 102: Murder (6k subscription required)

After Lu Yao chatted with Zhou Bella and her mother for a while, he pulled Zhu Junyan into the inner room to discuss what to do next.

After discussing the details, Zhu Junyan followed behind Lu Yao with an excited look on his face.

Zhu Junyan is a social person. He has seen a lot of shady things and has used some tricks to cheat others.

But because the composition of the circle is simple, the methods he has seen and used are also relatively simple.

He has never dealt with a scoundrel like Zhou Qing.

This kind of scoundrel is easy to deal with. Finding someone to intimidate and beat him up can have some temporary effect but not the fundamental solution. If you go too far, you may easily get into trouble.

It's not worth it for such a thing.

That’s why there is a saying that it is easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with little ghosts.

But the method that Lu Yao just told him was definitely enough to give Zhou Qing, that scoundrel, a hard time without leaving any handle or causing any trouble.

After Lu Yao came out, he said to Zhou Bella, mother and daughter, "You go out first and wait outside the gate with the villagers."

Zhou Bella's eyes were full of worry: "Brother Lu, you don't have to do this."

Now Lu Yao's status and position are no longer the same as before. He is not only the boss of two companies, but also works with powerful people to do big things. Why should he bother with their family's affairs?

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I told you that I would bring you a Ghost. I keep my word."

"Okay Zuo Zuo, take them out first."

Zuo Zuo held Zhou Bella and said, "Be obedient and trust Brother Lu."

Zuo Zuo opened the door of the main hall and led Zhou Bella and the other two outside, while Lu Yao shouted from inside the main hall: "Mr. Zhou, let's come in and talk."

Zhou Qing felt a little dizzy when Lu Yao called him "Mr. Zhou".

He looked sideways at Zhou Bella and the other two who were walking out of the gate, stiffened his neck and asked, "Where are they going?"

Lu Yao still said kindly: "Classmate Zhou Bella has entrusted this matter to me."

These very professional-sounding and high-sounding words made Zhou Qing feel particularly proud in front of his fellow villagers. People like Zhou Qing, who have no skills but care about face, like to show off.

The value of their existence lies only in the eyes of others.

So Zhou Qing walked into the main room with his head held high.

After Zhou Qing entered the house, Lu Yao closed the door and said, "Mr. Zhou, you want 200,000 yuan, right? Then let's draft a written agreement."

"and many more!"

Zhou Qing suddenly said, "I think two hundred thousand is not enough, five hundred thousand is needed."

He pondered for a while and felt that the Mercedes parked outside and the watches on Lu Yao and Zhu Junyan's wrists were not ordinary items. He knew that these two people must be very rich.

The key point is that the young man agreed to the offer of 200,000 yuan immediately.

This made Zhou Qing feel that he was lacking.

This is a matter of treating people differently.

If you go to a roadside stall to buy something, and the stall owner sees that your car is in good condition and there is no clear price tag on the stall, he will usually temporarily raise the price and make an extra three or five or eight yuan.

Zhou Qing's temporary price increase made Lu Yao and Zhu Junyan feel disgusted.

Even though they knew that Old Deng was going to be tricked, they were still disgusted.

Lu Yao stopped pretending and nodded at Zhu Junyan.

The two men immediately rushed forward and grabbed Zhou Qing's arms respectively, then tied his arms behind his back and pressed him to the ground.

Later, Zhu Junyan grabbed Zhou Qing's arms with both hands and pressed his knee on the back of Zhou Qing's neck, making it difficult for Lao Deng to breathe.

Zhou Qing was anxious: "What are you doing! What do you want to do!"

It's just that his voice is a little weak because his trachea is compressed.

Lu Yao walked around the room and found a fruit knife. He wrapped it in his clothes and held it in his hand.

Zhou Qing panicked for a moment when he saw Lu Yao coming with a knife, but he quickly continued to act arrogantly: "You dare to kill me? Even if I lend you two courages, you still wouldn't dare to do it. There are people everywhere outside. If you kill me, you can't get away!"

Lu Yao held up the knife and said with a smile: "I know there are people outside, and I won't kill you."

"This is the knife you used to kill me."

Zhou Qing was stunned: "Ah?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "You were released from prison not long ago and wanted gambling money, so you threatened your own daughter. I confessed my identity to you in the main hall and planned to use money to settle the matter, but you took the opportunity to ask for a huge amount of money, threatening and intimidating me with my employees and the reputation of my company, asking me to pay more money."

Lü Yao showed Zhou Qing the knife and said, "If I don't give it to you, you will kill me in anger."

Zhou Qing was stunned. He stared at me and said forcefully, "I didn't do that! You tricked me!"

Lu Yao continued to laugh and said, "Yes, I am trying to trick you, but do you think the police will believe me or you, a gambler who has been to jail?"

Zhou Qing was really panicking now: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, I really won't dare to do it again! Don't mess with me."

Lu Yao was amused: "You don't know you are wrong, you just know you are finished."

As he spoke, Lu Yao stood up, and using the height difference between him and Zhou Qing, he performed a "crime simulation", then found the right angle to place the knife on his scalp.

Then--

"prick!"

The not-so-sharp blade of the fruit knife cut Lu Yao's scalp.

"hiss!"

Lu Yao bared his teeth. It really hurt.

Immediately afterwards, blood flowed out from Lu Yao's thick hair and hung on his handsome face.

This outrageous operation made Zhou Qing dumbfounded.

He had seen ruthless people in prison, but he had never seen a psychopath like Lu Yao who could laugh even after stabbing himself.

This is even more insane than just being ruthless.

While Zhou Qing was distracted, Lu Yao squatted down and stuffed the knife into Zhou Qing's hand. It took a lot of strength to make Zhou Qing hold the handle tightly with both hands.

After leaving Zhou Qing's fingerprints on the murder weapon, Lu Yao immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Murder! Zhou Qing killed someone!!"

While shouting, Lu Yao pretended to "stagger" and knocked over the tables, chairs and furniture in the room, trying his best to simulate the traces of three people fighting to subdue Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's eyes almost popped out of his head.

fake!

all fake!

The city people's tricks are so fucking dirty! It was not until Lu Yao threw the chair at the window and broke it that he hurried over and pressed Zhou Qing to the ground with Zhu Junyan, pretending to work together to subdue Zhou Qing.

Zhu Junyan felt that his cheap master was such a good actor!

The way he attacked himself was just like when Norton beat himself up in front of his boss in "Fight Club".

Lu Yao pinned Zhou Qing down and smeared blood on Zhou Qing's chest. Zhou Qing fought back frantically, but he was over fifty years old. How could he possibly resist Lu Yao and Zhu Junyan, two young and strong guys?
Zhu Junyan also took the opportunity to ask Lu Yao: "Master, how about I get some injuries on my body too?"

A man without cruelty is not a hero. Being cruel to yourself is the real cruelty.

Lu Yao whispered, "It's too late. Let me chop you up sooner next time."

Zhu Junyan: “…”

The noise Lu Yao made in the main room, especially the one where he smashed the window with a chair, alarmed Zhou Bella who was outside.

Zhou Bella rushed into the main room almost immediately from the front door. As soon as she came in, she saw her brother Lu with blood all over his face. There was a knife next to the hand of her gambler father. In addition, Lu Yao was still shouting "Murder", and Zhou Bella's mind went blank in an instant!

She rushed over and kicked Zhou Qing in the face, screaming as she kicked her: "You are crazy! You are crazy!!"

"Hasn't it been enough that you've destroyed us?!"

Seeing this, Lu Yao was also a little confused. After Zhou Bella kicked her twice, he hurried over to stop her: "Stop kicking and call the police!"

Zhou Bella woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly reached for her cell phone, then she remembered that her cell phone had been broken by Zhou Qing during the argument a few days ago.

Fortunately, Zuo Zuo at the back was calmly calling the police.

Seeing such a big commotion, the villagers outside also rushed in to watch the fun. The kind-hearted ones immediately helped Lu Yao and Zhu Junyan to tie Zhou Qing up tightly with ropes.

After being trapped, Zhou Qing still protested with a red face and thick neck: "I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone! They are not good people who cheated me! The city people cheated the country people!!"

As Zhou Qing continued shouting, he actually sat on the ground and started to cry and make a scene.

But no one believed a gambler.

There were still traces of a fight in the main room, but more details had been destroyed by the people filling the room.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t destroy it.

Zhu Junyan was already calling to get help. His explanation was that he was threatened by a gambler who had just been released from prison in the countryside, and that a fight had arisen as a result.

Anyone who understands this statement will immediately know how to deal with it.

The direction of the investigation of the case will only develop in a direction that is beneficial to Lu Yao and Zhu Junyan.

More than half an hour later, police from the township came to understand the situation, and then the scene was secured and all the parties involved were taken to the town’s police station.

In the afternoon, the county police came and took away all the parties involved.

After recording their confessions that day, Lu Yao and his colleagues were given a free night's accommodation. After a few days of investigation, visits and evidence collection, the matter had a roughly clear result.

Zhou Qing will be charged with threats, extortion, attempted murder and other crimes.

The specific process will take some time.

But Zhou Qing couldn't escape after he went in. In addition, he had a criminal record, so it was safe to assume that Zhou Qing would have to work on the sewing machine for more than seven years in prison.

Seven years later, Zhou Qing was in his early sixties and still had the ability to disgust people.

But seven years later, when Zhou Qing was released from prison and returned here, he would never see Zhou Bella and the others again.

……

A week later, in a hotel in downtown Liangcheng.

Lu Yao is handling many things in Shangnan remotely. As for the scar on his head, it has already scabbed over and it is estimated that it will be fully recovered in a month or so.

In order to cooperate with the government investigation, Lu Yao and Zhu Junyan have to stay here for a week.

After cooperating with the government, the next step is to go through the procedures.

This process will take several months, so Lu Yao and his team plan to return to Shangnan first.

Before going back, Lu Yao found Zhou Bella and her family of three who were also in the hotel.

When Zhou Bella's mother Dai Hongyan saw Lu Yao coming, she immediately stood up and poured water for Lu Yao: "Boss Lu, you are here, please sit down quickly."

Lu Yao sat down and said, "We are going to prepare to return to Shangnan."

Dai Hongyan sat on the chair with one side of her buttocks. When she heard what Lu Yao said, she immediately said nervously, "It's my duty. You've suffered a lot this time. Bella told me that you've wasted a lot of time because of our family's affairs."

"When I sell the food at home and save up enough money, I will definitely compensate you!"

Zhou Bella's mother is indeed simple and kind, which is why she has been bullied by old Bidden like Zhou Qing for so long.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I will deduct this money from Zhou Bella's future salary. I came here to persuade you to move to Shangnan and live with Zhou Bella."

Dai Hongyan suddenly showed an embarrassed look on her face.

Her home is here and her land is here.

Is it going to remain so desolate?

Zhou Bella also advised: "Mom, please move in with me. I will work hard to make money to buy a house and support you."

Dai Hongyan couldn't let go of everything in her hometown and was a little afraid of life in the big city. She had never even left Liangcheng in her life and had only been to the urban area a few times.

Moving away suddenly...

Lu Yao assisted from the side, "This time Zhou Qing will be sentenced to a dozen years at most. If he behaves well and gets a reduction in sentence, he can be released in seven or eight years, or even five or six years. Do you still want Bella and Paula to suffer with you then?"

There are actually many twisted people like Dai Hongyan in the countryside. Their lives are obviously very bad, but they just refuse to divorce.

Because I don’t understand and because I’m afraid.

As a result, many people of the older generation have spent their entire lives suffering in this kind of distortion and pain.

They even pass this distorted and deformed concept on to the next generation, saying that all marriages are like this.

Lu Yao's assist worked.

If it was just Dai Hongyan herself, she might have just gritted her teeth and endured it.

The biggest hope is that Zhou Qing, the old man, can be reformed in prison, wake up and start a new life.

But for the sake of her two children, she was willing to leave the familiar place, go to an unfamiliar environment, and start her life again in her early fifties.

Fifty is not too late.

In fact, it’s never too late to start over.

Once they leave their previous quagmire, things will only get better and better.
