Chapter 251 — Let Her Have an Accident
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That..." Zhang Yuzhou's heart lurched. Why hadn't he thought of that before? He had been angry at the Jin family for pinning the blame on him, but now that he thought about it — he was working for Young Master Bing. If he did well, would Young Master Bing treat him shabbily? But by the same token, if he failed, would Young Master Bing spare him?
At that thought, Zhang Yuzhou broke into a cold sweat. "Brother Jin, what are you saying? You and I, we're both in this for our common interests! Talk like that is cold. Don't worry, I'll give it everything I've got!"
Jin Maosheng sneered inwardly. If I don't put the fear into you, you'll drag your feet forever and never do your best. But aloud he laughed: "What are you saying, Brother Yuzhou? After that last business, that old fox Gu Pengzhan grew suspicious and keeps reining in the company's power. My father is in a very passive position."
"Then... what should we do now?" Zhang Yuzhou thought: your company's affairs are nothing I can meddle in — why tell me this?
"If something were to happen to Gu Pengzhan's daughter, he might lose all heart for managing the company's affairs, don't you think?" Jin Maosheng said mildly. "Ah, fortune is fickle, isn't it, Brother Yuzhou?"
Zhang Yuzhou was startled for a moment, then understood that Jin Maosheng meant to play rough. But he was a desperate man himself — among Brother Cihua's men, how many were not ruthless?
"Don't worry, Brother Jin. I know what to do. It won't be long before word of a tragedy gets out." Zhang Yuzhou agreed on the spot. In truth, killing a person by accident was easier than kidnapping one.
"Then that's settled for now. I'll be waiting for the news." Jin Maosheng hung up, thinking: if I don't prod Zhang Yuzhou a bit, he won't know what's what.
Of course, though Zhang Yuzhou had agreed to Jin Maosheng's face, he would not act rashly — he had to ask Li Cihua first.
"Brother Cihua, it's Little Yuzhou here!" Zhang Yuzhou dialed Li Cihua's number.
"Little Yuzhou, why are you calling at this hour? Don't you know I'm asleep?" Li Cihua slept by day and moved by night — all his underlings knew that. The reason he kept his phone on during the day was for fear the boss behind the scenes might call.
"Brother Cihua, Jin Maosheng called and told me to kill that girl Gu Mengyao..." Zhang Yuzhou relayed Jin Maosheng's meaning to Li Cihua.
"Oh, handle it as you see fit. Don't clash head-on — the girl has good men around her. Just arrange an accident." Li Cihua spoke casually; a human life meant nothing to him. "Also, Young Master Bing is coming soon. This has to be done quickly — the Gu Group's real estate company is the grand gift we're giving Young Master Bing!"
"Yes, Brother Cihua. Then I'll go do it!" With Li Cihua's confirmation, Zhang Yuzhou could act without scruple. In his view, no matter how formidable that Wei Zhao beside Gu Mengyao was, it made no difference: so long as they didn't clash head-on, a few dirty tricks from behind would do away with Gu Mengyao just the same.
Earlier he had held back for fear of killing Gu Mengyao; now that Jin Maosheng had said as much, then let her die — one death and all troubles ended.
