Chapter 207: You are our Zhou Family’s great benefactor! _1
 

“Speak up, what really happened?”

Zhou Kai glared at Luo Hao, eager to hear his explanation.

But Luo Hao kept his head down, silent, seemingly lost in thought.

“Bang!”

Zhou Kai slammed the dining table fiercely, startling everyone present.

He had always come across as genteel and mild-mannered, and even those closest to him rarely saw him so enraged.

Luo Hao included, who couldn’t help but shiver.

“Considering the time you’ve been with me, you’d best come clean now. Don’t force me to resort to other methods. If it really comes to that, I guarantee you’ll regret it,” Zhou Kai spoke in a very calm tone, but it had an irresistible force.

“I… I’ll talk…”

Under his stern gaze, Luo Hao’s last line of defense collapsed completely.

Then he confessed everything in detail.

It turned out that the real estate project of Qianda Group was contracted to a construction crew under Xi Yongchang.

But Xi Yongchang felt that the lion’s share of profits went to Qianda Group, and all he could do was sip at the leftovers, which made him feel resentful.

So he cut corners with the construction materials and passed off inferior goods as top-quality.

He also bribed Luo Hao in secret to turn a blind eye during inspections.

Initially, Luo Hao refused outright, but with several women in his family to support, his salary was nowhere near sufficient.

Finally, under Xi Yongchang’s threats and bribes, he capitulated.

“Chairman, I know I was wrong. I beg you, please consider the years I’ve served you loyally and give me another chance,” Luo Hao was now kneeling on the ground, crying and begging Zhou Kai for forgiveness.

Zhou Kai’s fists were clenched tight, and a palpable murderous aura radiated from him, chilling to the bone.

“Another chance? Who the hell is going to give me a chance?” Zhou Kai bellowed, grabbing a Moutai bottle and smashing it on Luo Hao’s head.

A stream of crimson blood flowed down Luo Hao’s forehead, and he collapsed to the ground, only to scramble up quickly and continue to plead with Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai grabbed him by the collar, “Do you f***ing realize how important this project is to the group?”

“If anything goes wrong, the entire group could be ruined, you understand?”

Luo Hao cried bitterly, “I know. Don’t worry, Chairman, I’ve already checked everything.”

“They just… just replaced some of the name-brand materials with products from small workshops, but the quality isn’t compromised at all…”

“Go to hell!”

Zhou Kai, hearing him still making excuses, kicked him in the shoulder, toppling him over.

At this moment, he was like an enraged lion, seemingly ready to devour someone.

Everyone in the private room fell silent, and those who were faint-hearted even began to tremble.

At this point, Bingrui stepped forward to restrain his father, “Dad, this man isn’t worth your effort. Let me do it.”

After saying that, he picked up a peach wood chair nearby and smashed it onto Luo Hao, then rushed in with a flurry of punches and kicks.

Luo Hao was battered to the floor, crying out pitifully, his initial arrogance nowhere to be seen.

“That’s enough.”

By now, Zhou Kai had regained his composure and gestured for his son to stop, looking down at Luo Hao who was barely hanging on, “How long has this scheme of yours been going on?”

He had to assess whether there was still a chance to salvage the project, and if so, at what cost.

Struggling to rise, Luo Hao stammered, “Not… not long, just over a week…”

“You’d better be telling the truth.”

“Really… it’s true, just over a week. At this point, I wouldn’t dare lie to you anymore,” Luo Hao said with a face full of anguish.

Zhou Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it had only been a week, that was a small piece of good fortune in their misfortune, and though remedial action would be somewhat troublesome, the loss wouldn’t be catastrophic.

He felt a chill at the close call.

If Tang Feng hadn’t been invited over today to expose the mole, any further delay could have been disastrous.

Even having weathered many storms, his back was cold at the thought.

“Get lost, I don’t want to see you in Zhonghai anymore,” he said after a moment’s thought, finally passing judgment on Luo Hao.

The punishment was incredibly light.

For someone like Luo Hao, they could have easily thrown him in jail.

“Chairman, I don’t want to leave your side. I can step down from the vice president position, just let me stay near you, even if only as a tea server…” Luo Hao begged once more.

After so many years in Zhonghai, his family and connections were all there.

Leaving Zhonghai now would mean losing everything.

Hearing him still foolishly hoping to stay, Zhou Kai sneered, “You think I’d keep a backstabbing thief at my side?”

“Get out before I change my mind. Otherwise, I’ll have to call the Public Affairs Hall.”

Luo Hao’s face went through several changes, but in the end, he left the private room dejectedly.

“Dad, you’re just letting him off like that? That bastard nearly brought our downfall,” Bingrui couldn’t conceal his dissatisfaction, turning to his father.

“Ah, I’m getting old, and I didn’t want to be too harsh.

“After all, he has been with me for so many years and did contribute to the group,” Zhou Kai sighed, suddenly looking a decade older.

Bingrui, however, felt his father was being too soft-hearted. How could he let a traitor off so easily?

If his father wouldn’t do it, then he, as a son, would take action.

He immediately took out his phone and sent a text message.

The message read simply, “Don’t let Luo Hao leave Zhonghai alive.”

Zhou Kai was either unaware of his son’s actions or knew and did nothing to stop him.

He only looked gratefully at Tang.

“Tang, if it weren’t for you today, our Qianda Group might really have been destroyed. You are a great benefactor to the Zhou family!” he said, preparing to kneel in gratitude.
