Free Web NovelChapter 421: Chapter 421 The Despicable Wu Jianzhong
Hearing this, Wang Hao was also quite surprised. He originally thought Zhou Yingying was just a tough policewoman, but he had never imagined that she was also from the Wu Family, one of the three major families in Zao City.
However, judging by the attitudes of the two people in front of him, Zhou Yingying’s status within the Wu Family seemed to be somewhat awkward.
"What about you, what can you do about it? Am I wrong? Hmph, don’t think that just because you are my aunt’s daughter, you can take part in dividing the Wu Family’s assets. You might as well stop dreaming!"
Wu Jianzhong had never believed that Zhou Yingying would shoot him, so his tone was even more arrogant and overbearing.
"I won’t beat around the bush with you, I’ll tell you the truth. It’s precisely because you are a child that the aunt raised outside, that even if people like you become police officers, it’s not going to be smooth sailing. It’s still because of your status."
"Everyone whispers behind your back that you are an unwanted bastard child who shamelessly followed us to the Wu Family, damaging our family’s reputation. That’s why my father specially arranged for some extra ’attention’ for you."
Zhou Yingying was filled with rage, her normally fair face turning red with anger in an instant.
Wang Hao could tell that Zhou Yingying was indeed from the Wu Family, but because she was a child that his aunt had with someone else and then followed Wu Jianzhong’s aunt back to the Wu Family, she had always had a low status there.
Not only that, Wu Yangming’s eldest son also feared that his own sister would bring her child back to claim a share of the Wu Family’s wealth, so he kept looking for ways to trouble Zhou Yingying.
Indeed, if it is not from the same family, they won’t enter the same door. Wu Yangming’s eldest son did not seem to be of any good character either.
No matter what, Zhou Yingying was still his niece, and a girl at that. Why be so ruthless towards her?
If it really had been Zhou Yingying who arrogantly came back to take over the Wu Family’s assets, why did she silently endure all these humiliations and become an insignificant police officer in a remote and dangerous small town?
It could be said that Zhou Yingying’s climb to her current position was entirely due to her own efforts, having nothing to do with the Wu Family.
Yet Wu Jianzhong, who had always been pampered under the protection of the Wu Family, was nowhere near Zhou Yingying’s achievements, and certainly had no right to talk about Zhou Yingying in such a manner.
"You and your father really think I’m a fool, thinking I don’t know what’s going on? But what can you do if you and your father join forces to oppress me? I’ve still returned on my own strength. What can you do to me?"
Zhou Yingying said through gritted teeth.
"Haha, you really are naive. Do you really think you can stay here forever? You are now a stain on the Wu Family. My dad will never tolerate your presence under our noses."
Wu Jianzhong laughed heartily, as if what Zhou Yingying had just said was a huge joke.
"Is that so? But today you still ended up in my hands!"
Zhou Yingying was so angry she was starting to lose her reason.
"Zhou Yingying, I haven’t done anything, what can you do to me? If you let me go today for the sake of our kinship, perhaps I will plead on your behalf in front of my dad."
"Otherwise, for today’s incident, I, Wu Jianzhong, swear, will make you pay a terrible price!"
Wu Jianzhong said coldly.
"You’re suspected of robbery and causing trouble; all these knives and sticks on the ground are evidence. Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"
Zhou Yingying didn’t want to waste words with Wu Jianzhong and shouted loudly.
"Come back to the station with me!" freewebnσvel.cøm
"Zhou Yingying, I’m warning you, don’t be ungrateful. I am the young master of the Wu Family!"
Seeing that Zhou Yingying had no intention of letting him off, Wu Jianzhong immediately became furious with embarrassment and anger.
But Zhou Yingying didn’t pay any attention to him; she just cuffed him to the railing on the side of the road.
"You little bastard, you dare to cuff me? If grandfather hadn’t been soft-hearted and taken you in, you would’ve been long dead and overgrown with weeds on your grave by now. Could you still be alive?"
"You ungrateful thing, it’s really biting the hand that feeds you. It turns out that a woman raised without manners is just as heartless! A pair of ungrateful dogs!"
After being handcuffed, Wu Jianzhong became even more furious, unleashing a torrent of abuse at Zhou Yingying without restraint.
"You little bitch, just like your mother, shameless, going out and bearing this bastard with some random man, bringing disgrace upon our Wu Family."
"Shut your mouth!"
At the end of her rope, Zhou Yingying once again lifted the gun in her hand and pointed it at Wu Jianzhong’s head.
"If you dare to slander my mother again, do you believe I won’t just blow your brains out with one shot?"
"To think I’ve actually raised an ingrate all these years. Don’t you forget, who fed you well, who paid for your education? That was all the Wu Family. If you’ve got the guts, just pull the trigger and kill me!"
Wu Jianzhong was not afraid at all and continued to curse.
"Do you know how your dad died? He died at a nightclub, getting excited with a bunch of women. With such a father, and the same blood flowing through you, aren’t you just as slutty, haha..."
Zhou Yingying was growing angrier by the second while Wu Jianzhong laughed more and more brazenly, eventually bursting into hysterical laughter.
"Ah—"
Zhou Yingying had reached the pinnacle of rage, beyond self-control, suddenly tightening her grip and pulling the trigger.
"Bang!"
Amidst the gunshot, Wu Jianzhong’s laughter came to an abrupt halt.
Wu Jianzhong’s henchmen were stunned, hurrying over to check on him.
Certainly, Zhou Yingying had fired the gun; the muzzle had been pressed against Wu Jianzhong’s head, and had he actually been hit, his head would have burst open.
But Wu Jianzhong wasn’t dead, because in the instant Zhou Yingying fired, Wang Hao had rushed up and lifted her gun-wielding hand high.
That was how Wu Jianzhong had picked up a lease of life, but the shock of Zhou Yingying actually firing at him left him weak at the knees, collapsing to the ground, his pants soon beginning to dampen.
Who would’ve thought he’d been scared to the point of wetting himself!
"You... you really... wanted to kill me?"
Wu Jianzhong’s face had lost all color with fear, his speech becoming disjointed, surely if it hadn’t been for Wang Hao’s timely intervention, he would have been a goner.
"Give me the gun!"
Wang Hao hurriedly took the gun from Zhou Yingying’s hand to prevent her from losing control over herself again.
Zhou Yingying’s eyes were bloodshot, with tears constantly swirling in her sockets.
Although she had rarely met her parents or felt their affection, they were still the ones who had given birth to her, and she couldn’t tolerate anyone insulting them in her presence.
It was also because her father’s death was so mysterious, and the case hastily closed without proper investigation, that Zhou Yingying later resolved to become a police officer, to seek the truth behind her father’s death.
"Zhou Yingying, are you asking to die?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Seeing that Wang Hao had snatched the gun, Wu Jianzhong stood up and started to taunt again.
"You motherfucker, just wait, I will never let you off, I’ll make sure you end up worse than your dad! When the time comes, I’ll find dozens of men to take good care of you, and then..."
"And then your sister!"
Wang Hao couldn’t listen anymore and went straight up to deliver a kick to Wu Jianzhong’s face, knocking out two of his teeth in an instant.
No matter the blood relationship between Wu Jianzhong and Zhou Yingying, to humiliate Zhou Yingying in front of so many people, he was worse than a beast, and truly deserved a beating!
