Chapter 815 - 816: Zhou Gaishan's Forbearance
Seductive Snake and the maid, upon seeing this, also stood to Yun Hao's left and right. As for A Jiao, after injuring Zhou Lili, she quietly watched Zhou Gaishan from a distance, neither far nor near, but if a fight really broke out, she could absolutely charge forward at the first moment!"I have no intention of fighting with you; I just want to know how my Zhou Family managed to provoke you? Especially Lili; no matter what, she is technically your aunt."
Zhou Gaishan ordered his second son to be taken to the back, then looked at Yun Hao and asked.
"Heh, aunt? Does she even qualify? Old man, don't tell me you are unaware of the things your Zhou Family has done to me and my woman during this time?"
Yun Hao sneered, his words full of disdain for Zhou Lili, then stared unbelievingly at Zhou Gaishan!
Given Zhou Lili's temperament, if she could qualify as an aunt, that would indeed be absurd!
"If possible, could you explain the feud between you two to me? Rest assured, I won't take sides. Should they have truly erred, I promise to give you a satisfactory explanation. I vow as the Patriarch of the Zhou Family!"
Zhou Gaishan heard Yun Hao's words, understood there was more to what Yun Hao was saying, and thus earnestly assured him!
"Old fart, are you trying to stall for time?" Yun Hao suspiciously eyed Zhou Gaishan, not understanding what tricks this old man was playing!
"I, Zhou Gaishan, have lived an upright life, never having done a shameful deed!" Zhou Gaishan vigorously flicked his sleeve and silently added in his heart, "To deal with you all, there's no need for me to stall for time!"
"Alright then, I'll give you a chance to atone. Bring a chair and sit here for a while!" Although Yun Hao agreed to the proposition, for safety reasons, he still proactively suggested sitting here casually!
It's to avoid the possibility of being captured if the other party suggested going inside a room to discuss—oh wait, it's like shutting the door and beating the dog, that's not right either, but you get the idea!
Zhou Gaishan ordered the bodies to be cleared away, then sat on the chair brought by a servant and began his conversation with Yun Hao!
Yun Hao did not hold back and disclosed all the things that Zhou Lili had done to him to Zhou Gaishan, without a shred of falsehood!
"Understood. Give me one night's time, I will send Zhou Lili and all the personnel involved this time to your residence, allowing you to handle them as you see fit!"
After hearing Yun Hao's words, Zhou Gaishan remained silent for a long time, then made this heavy decision!
With Zhou Gaishan's cultivation and experience, he could naturally discern whether Yun Hao's words were true or false. However, according to Yun Hao's implication, those who collaborated with Zhou Lili and contacted people to assassinate Yun Hao and his woman included his elder son, Zhou Hua's father!
Thus, it would mean that all the second generation of the Zhou Family are gone, the fourth one killed by Yun Hao, while the eldest and Zhou Lili (the third one) would be sent to Yun Hao, who, based on his character and actions, would surely kill them!
This leaves only a crippled second son, which is practically the same as having none!
Therefore, upon making this decision, Zhou Gaishan seemed to age a dozen years in an instant, the fortitude in his expression now mixed with traces of desolation and melancholy!
But for the sake of the entire Zhou Family, for its future, he had no choice but to do so, because he must not provoke Yun Hao; if Yun Shiyi were drawn in, forget one Zhou Family, even ten or a hundred Zhou Families would be easily destroyed by Yun Shiyi!
"Why do I feel like there's something fishy here? Would you really hand over those people to me for disposal? Are you planning to send me away and then randomly pick a few lackeys, claiming they're the masterminds and making them take the fall?"
Yun Hao found this old man completely incomprehensible; who sends their family members out to be killed like this?
Either this old man is out of his mind, or he's plotting something sinister?
No matter how he thought about it, Yun Hao felt that Zhou Gaishan was scheming!
"If you don't trust me, you can inquire about my character; I won't stoop to such deceitful tricks!" Zhou Gaishan seemed to anticipate Yun Hao's suspicion and thus replied calmly, without anger.
After all, after making such a huge sacrifice, would he lose his temper because of Yun Hao's attitude? That would be self-defeating!
Moreover, in Zhou Gaishan's heart, there was a deeper thought—if he stakes a firm position in Yun Hao's camp now, perhaps when Yun Shiyi returns, the Zhou Family might advance further, achieving the level of a second-rate family like the Nangong Family or the Long Family!
"Alright then, since you've said so, if I still don't trust you, it would be too petty of me, Yun Hao. You don't need to send those people to me. Once they're killed, make a video and just send it to me. I can't witness overly bloody scenes up close, my stomach's not well!"
Upon hearing Yun Hao's words, Zhou Gaishan and his people almost cursed aloud; you claim you can't handle overly bloody scenes up close? What about those people you just killed?
Don't try to say you didn't kill them?
They had never seen someone as shameless as Yun Hao!
Though the Zhou Family members behind Zhou Gaishan were furious, they dared not utter a word upon seeing Zhou Gaishan being respectful and even slightly flattering towards Yun Hao!
Zhou Gaishan witnessed his second son rendered crippled, his grandson killed by Yun Hao, yet did not show an ounce of anger, even ready to send Zhou Lili and others to Yun Hao for disposal!
Doesn't all this indicate something?
It signifies that Zhou Gaishan is afraid of Yun Hao, doesn't dare to provoke him, and seeks to curry favor earnestly!
A person who even someone like Zhou Gaishan strives to curry favor with—how could these people afford to provoke?
Not a single Zhou Family member doubted that if they inadvertently provoked Yun Hao, Zhou Gaishan would immediately strike them dead and send them to Yun Hao to apologize!
Hence, the Zhou Family members' gazes toward Yun Hao contained curiosity, fear, apprehension, and a mix of various expressions!
Regardless, Yun Hao's name and visage became deeply engraved in the minds of all present members of the Zhou Family, likely never forgotten in their lifetime!
