Chapter 566 — Making a Deal

"He didn't do it, did he? He wouldn't do something like that, would he?" Gu Mengyao sounded a little uncertain. After all, it was too vicious a thing to do, and deep down she did not believe Wei Zhao was that kind of person.
"Heh heh heh. Whether he did or not doesn't matter—Zhong Yongliang is finished this time, and he definitely won't be bothering Sister Yaoyao anymore!" Shen Yushu, however, did not care in the least. In her eyes, Wei Zhao ought to be ruthless toward his enemies, so that he could drive them all away for good.
"That may not be quite true. I've heard that losing a kidney doesn't kill you, does it?" Gu Mengyao frowned.
"I don't know about that either, but I read online that with only one kidney you can't—I don't know if that's true though," Shen Yushu said, blinking and grinning wickedly.
"Shu, don't use such indecent words!" Gu Mengyao blushed and scolded her.
"I didn't! I was only stating a fact—it wasn't me who said it, it was the internet." Shen Yushu looked aggrieved.
"Well, you're not allowed to say it from now on anyway. A girl who talks so indecently will never find a husband!" Gu Mengyao said sternly.
"Oh, who cares—I've got Sister Yaoyao to fall back on. Buy one, get one free, so somebody's bound to want the slightly more indecent one." Shen Yushu was unconcerned. "Don't they say that's what men like?"
Gu Mengyao ignored her.
"Zhong Yongliang is out of danger for the time being and is receiving treatment at the hospital. I'd like to organize the class to go visit him. Attendance is voluntary—those who don't want to go may stay in the classroom and study on their own," Teacher Liu continued. "I've already arranged for a bus, and it will be here shortly. Those who want to go, get ready now and come downstairs with me."
Truth be told, Zhong Yongliang was not especially well liked. He belonged among the bad students in the class, and many of the serious, hardworking students looked down on him. But last time he had organized a trip to the seaside for everyone, which had improved his standing considerably. They owed him a favor, and now that something had happened to him, it would not do to skip the visit.
So everyone set down their books, rose, and headed downstairs...
After Zhong Fabai left, Li Cihua sat in silence for a moment, then dialed An Liwen's number.
"Young Master An, do you know Zhong Fabai?" Li Cihua asked.
"Zhong Fabai? Never heard of him. A mahjong player?" An Liwen had just gotten rid of a rival in love and was celebrating at a hotel.
"No, he's a somebody. He has some influence in Songshan City. His son is Zhong Yongliang..." Li Cihua said.
"Zhong Yongliang?" Before Li Cihua could finish, An Liwen cut him off. "Brother Cihua, you're not calling to rake me over the coals, are you? But I can tell you this much—I'm the one who cut out Zhong Yongliang's kidney."
An Liwen's tone made Li Cihua pause. It seemed the hatred between Zhong Yongliang and An Liwen ran deep.
"Young Master An, that's not what I meant." Naturally, Li Cihua had no desire to offend An Liwen. "Young Master An, it's just that Zhong Fabai came to see me a moment ago, wanting to get some justice for his son..."
"Oh? Then what does Brother Cihua mean by this?" An Liwen asked indifferently.
"I have no stake in it myself. It's just that Zhong Fabai is working for Young Master Bing now, so with something like this happening, Young Master Bing will have to look into it..." Li Cihua was somewhat caught in the middle. He did not want to offend An Liwen—after all, behind the An family stood the Fire Wolf Gang—but he could not simply refuse to account for the matter of Zhong Fabai either.
"Oh, then let Young Master Bing come find me. I've been wanting to meet him." An Liwen spoke as though he could not care less. So what if he had cut it out? Even if the man was one of Young Master Bing's dogs, he had done it anyway. What of it? Would Young Master Bing really make an enemy of the An family over this?
