Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 476 Vicious

While Liu Jingxue was queuing for the second time, Zheng Pengcheng was also in Director Wang's office, talking on the phone with the old man of the Zheng family.

The moment the phone was connected, Zheng Pengcheng heard his grandfather's familiar voice.

It’s just that grandpa’s voice sounded a little tired, as if he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and lacking in energy.

"Grandpa, it's me, Xiao Cheng." Hearing the question coming from the phone, Zheng Pengcheng quickly answered.

"Xiao Cheng, you haven't called me for a long time. Grandpa has been waiting for your call.

How is it going? Have you taken action? Have you dealt with Zhou Mingxuan?" Mr. Zheng asked expectantly.

There was silence for a long time. Zheng Pengcheng didn't know how to answer his grandfather's question and could only remain silent.

After waiting for no answer from his grandson, Mr. Zheng seemed to understand something. His voice became even more tired, and he said weakly,

“Did it fail?

You don't have to answer. From your performance, I know you must have failed."

After enduring it again and again, Mr. Zheng couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you? Didn't you promise me before that you would definitely deal with Zhou Mingxuan? How could you fail?

You are well aware of the current situation at home. I was thinking of you getting rid of Zhou Mingxuan and causing chaos in the Zhou family so that our family could take advantage of the chaos and turn the situation around. I didn't expect you to fail.

What do you want me to do? "

"Did you do it yourself? Didn't I tell you that our Zheng family was being targeted and was having bad luck, and nothing we did worked out? Didn't I tell you to find someone else to do it?

Why don't you believe it and listen? "

Hearing his grandfather's accusation, Zheng Pengcheng quickly defended himself, "Grandpa, I didn't do it myself, I asked someone else to do it.

But unexpectedly, the man was a good-for-nothing and revealed his weakness in front of Zhou Mingxuan, which allowed Zhou Mingxuan to guess it and take precautions, so nothing could be accomplished.

But that person was greedy and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of all the other people who had grudges against him. As a result, he was caught in the trap and sent to jail.

Even I was almost implicated by him and arrested together."

Mr. Zheng said angrily, "Why did you find such an unreliable person? It would be strange if such a person could accomplish anything."

“I have no other choice.

As soon as I arrived here, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were dedicated to discrediting me. Others simply ignored me. Except for him, who could be bribed, others would not listen to me at all. "

"You're so useless. You can't even handle such a small thing.", Mr. Zheng scolded.

Zheng Pengcheng didn't dare to refute out loud and could only listen silently.

Elder Zheng sighed, "Xiao Cheng, don't blame Grandpa for scolding you, our family is doing very well recently.

Your grandfather was taken away for investigation. You should have known about this when you called me last time. The situation is not good. Many previous things have been dug up and are being re-examined.

And your uncle was also taken away.

Your two aunts have lost their jobs. I heard they are making a fuss at home every day and have a very bad relationship with your uncle and his family. "

“As for me, although my position is still there, all my work is on hold and I am sitting on the bench every day.

Xiao Cheng, our Zheng family is in danger. "

"Originally, I was hoping for some good news from you, so I could try my luck, but now it seems like that's not going to work."

When Zheng Pengcheng heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't find his own voice for a long time.

Before, his second uncle had an accident and his father seemed to be in trouble. Although he was a little worried, he was still able to remain calm. He knew that the foundation of his family was not his second uncle or his father, but his grandfather.

As long as his grandfather is still there, their Zheng family will not fall.

But now his father is dying, his uncle has been taken away, and his grandfather's power has been taken away from him, leaving him with only a false title.

What's the use of having a false name? It's just a nice name. Rights are the most important.

"Grandpa, how could this happen? How did our family end up in this situation?"

"It's because someone has been causing us to have bad luck. They caught something on us and it has affected everything. They have dug up everything.

Especially the Zhou family. Somehow, they knew very clearly what our family had done and had a lot of evidence in their hands. I don’t know when they started investigating these things.

Could it be that their previous retreat was a way of showing weakness to the enemy so as to lower our guard and take the opportunity to investigate our family's affairs?" Mr. Zheng was puzzled.

What Mr. Zheng didn't know was that all this was thanks to his good grandson who was currently talking to him on the phone.

Under the double attack of Liu Jingxue's drug and truth powder, his good grandson told Zhou Mingxuan everything.

Zhou Mingxuan wrote another letter to inform Mr. Zhou of all these things, so that the Zhou family could strike back with one blow and re-examine everything that the Zheng family had done before.

If anyone is to blame, it's only the Zheng family who, in order to train the next generation, did not hide many confidential matters from these young people, which gave others the opportunity to wipe them out.

“The old man of the Zhou family has always been cunning and unwilling to suffer any loss, but in recent years he has been acting out of character, not fighting back when beaten or scolded.

Before, we thought that he did this because he saw the situation was not right and wanted to protect himself. Now, I think it is really as you said, Grandpa, he wanted to show weakness to the enemy, lower our vigilance and wait for the right opportunity.

Now that everyone in our family is unlucky, this will give them an opportunity to join forces with other rivals in our family to deal with us together."

Mr. Zheng sighed again, "It's all my fault. I was blinded by the Zheng family's prosperity and was deceived by that damn old man.

I said that he used to be two levels higher than me, but in less than two years I had climbed up to the same level as him. I also kept staring at his house, trying to find fault with him, but he acted like nothing happened.

I didn't expect this old man to be so sinister and actually wait here."

Mr. Zheng became more and more angry as he spoke. If Mr. Zhou was in front of him right now, he would probably rush up and bite off two pieces of his flesh.

Since he couldn't vent his anger on Old Zhou, he could only deal with Old Zhou's most beloved grandson.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zheng said to Zheng Pengcheng, "Xiao Cheng, our family's situation is too bad, it's hard to say what will happen next.

Now I don’t expect you to leverage Zhou family through Zhou Mingxuan. It’s difficult to do so given your current situation.

I can't accept the fact that Old Man Zhou schemed against our Zheng family in this way, and I guess you won't accept it either.

In this case, what means do you have to deal with Zhou Mingxuan? Just do it, and it would be best if you can kill him.

The old man in the Zhou family is older than me. At his age, if he heard the news that his most beloved grandson was dead or disabled, I don’t know if he would die.

That way, it can be considered as a little revenge for our family."

When Zheng Pengcheng heard what his grandfather said, his heart sank. It seemed that the situation at home was very bad, otherwise his grandfather would not have said such desperate words.

He couldn't help but feel confused about his future.

It was agreed that after he had dealt with Zhou Mingxuan, his family would find a way for him to leave here and join the army. But given the current situation, his family is afraid that it won't be possible.

Then he will have to stay in this country place for the rest of his life.

Thinking of his life in the countryside for more than two months, Zheng Pengcheng couldn't help shaking his head. He couldn't bear to stay in this country place for the rest of his life.

He had received subsidies from his family before, so he could barely make ends meet. But if something happened at home in the future and he couldn't get subsidies, and had to work from the land to support himself, he absolutely couldn't bear it.

But how can we change this situation?

Zheng Pengcheng was lost in his own thoughts and did not answer Mr. Zheng's words.

"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng, I want you to deal with Zhou Mingxuan and kill or maim him. Do you hear me?"

Mr. Zheng's voice brought Zheng Pengcheng back to his senses.

"Xiao Cheng, are you scared?"

"Grandpa, I didn't. Someone just came over and I couldn't talk." Zheng Pengcheng lied.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will do as you ask."

"Okay, since it's not convenient for you, I won't say any more. Let's hang up.

I'll wait for good news from you." After saying this, Mr. Zheng hung up the phone.

Hearing the beep coming from the phone, Zheng Pengcheng also hung up.

Being in a bad mood and not wanting to deal with Director Wang anymore, Zheng Pengcheng left without waiting for Director Wang to come back.
