Chapter 251 — Arrange an Accident for Her
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That..." Zhang Yuzhou's heart gave a jolt. 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 it over — he was working for Young Master Bing. If he did the job well, would Young Master Bing treat him shabbily? By the same token, if he failed, would Young Master Bing spare him?
At that, Zhang Yuzhou broke out in a cold sweat. "Brother Jin, what kind of talk is that? You and I are both in this for our mutual benefit! Saying such things is treating me like an outsider. Rest assured, I will do everything in my power!"
Jin Maosheng sneered inwardly. If I don't put the fear of God into you, you'll drag your feet and give me half an effort forever. Out loud, though, he laughed. "What are you saying, Brother Yuzhou? After that last business, that old fox Gu Pengzhan grew suspicious and keeps pulling back the company's power. My father is in a very tight spot."
"Then... what should we do now?" Zhang Yuzhou thought to himself: I can't very well stick my hand into your company's affairs — why are you telling me this?
"If something were to happen to Gu Pengzhan's daughter, he might lose all heart for running the company, don't you think?" Jin Maosheng said mildly. "Ah, fortune is fickle — no telling what the skies will bring, eh, Brother Yuzhou?"
Zhang Yuzhou was stunned 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 weren't 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, arranging an accident to kill someone was easier than a kidnapping.
"Then we'll leave it at that. I'll be waiting for the news." Jin Maosheng hung up, thinking: if I don't rattle Zhang Yuzhou's cage a little, he still won't know what's what!
Of course, though Zhang Yuzhou had agreed to Jin Maosheng's face, he would not act rashly — he would have to report to Li Cihua first.
"Brother Cihua, it's Little Universe here!" Zhang Yuzhou had gotten Li Cihua on the phone.
"Little Universe, why are you calling at this hour? Don't you know I'm asleep?" Li Cihua slept by day and stirred by night — a fact all his underlings knew well. The only reason he kept his phone on during daylight was the fear that the boss behind the scenes might come looking for him.
"Brother Cihua, Jin Maosheng called. He wants me to do away with that little tart Gu Mengyao..." Zhang Yuzhou relayed Jin Maosheng's wishes to Li Cihua.
"Oh, that. Handle it as you see fit. No direct confrontation — the girl has good men around her. Arrange an accident, that's all." Li Cihua spoke casually; a human life meant nothing in his eyes. "Also, Young Master Bing will be here soon. This has to be wrapped up fast. The Gu Group's real estate company is the grand gift we're presenting to Young Master Bing!"
"Yes, Brother Cihua. Then I'll go do it!" With Li Cihua's affirmation, Zhang Yuzhou could act without the slightest scruple. As Zhang Yuzhou saw it, no matter how formidable that Wei Zhao beside Gu Mengyao might be, it was useless — so long as there was no direct confrontation, a few dirty tricks from the shadows would be enough to finish Gu Mengyao off.
Earlier he had still held back, wary of killing Gu Mengyao; but now that Jin Maosheng himself had spoken, then let her die. A clean death would settle everything nicely.
