I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 265: Business Behind the Scenes

Although Zhou Susheng knew Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang, he had never had any contact with them.

So on a dark and windy night, Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang found a sack and put Zhou Susheng in it on his way home.

Zhou Susheng was originally the son of a tailor. He had never learned how to fight since he was a child. Naturally, he could not defeat Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang, two rough guys.

He was dragged into the alley, covered with a sack and severely beaten.

When the noise died down and Zhou Susheng opened the sack, there was no one left in the alley.

Although he didn't see anyone doing this to him, fortunately he was not stupid and he immediately had a guess in his mind.

So in the next few days, he did not go to see the eldest lady, but instead rejected the eldest lady's invitations several times.

This of course caught the eldest lady's attention, so why reject her?

When the eldest lady went to Zhou Susheng's house to find him, he was lying on the bed with scars all over his face, resting.

Those scars could be healed with proper application of medicine, but he deliberately ignored them just to let the young lady come over and see his appearance.

Sure enough, the injured look made the young lady feel very distressed.

Under the eldest lady's questioning, Zhou Susheng pretended to be helpless and told the story of that night.

The eldest lady was not a stupid person. After returning, she asked someone to investigate and soon found out that it was Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang who did it.

The eldest lady was naturally angry because two servants beat the person she liked.

Even if they don't like Zhou Susheng, that doesn't mean they have to hit him.

So the eldest lady called for someone to punish the two men and beat them with a stick.

Although this method caused them physical pain and required them to recuperate for several days, it ignited the anger in their hearts.

This time, Zhao Xu didn't even use sneaky methods, but directly picked trouble with Zhou Susheng openly.

Every time Zhou Susheng left the eldest lady's place, he would be stopped by Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang, and they would make things difficult for him.

He originally looked down on these two rough guys, but they kept causing trouble, which made Zhou Susheng feel annoyed.

So that day, when Zhou Susheng was leaving, he vaguely told the eldest lady that there were some very good performances on the street today, and if the eldest lady was interested, she could go and see them later, and maybe they had not ended yet.

Then he left one step ahead.

Sure enough, not long after he left, he was stopped by Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang on the street.

Zhou Susheng guessed that the young lady must have heard his words, and who knows, she might go out on the street soon.

So he deliberately provoked Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang with his words. The two of them were not well-educated and quickly took the bait and punched Zhou Susheng.

He fell out instantly, but after falling to the ground he saw a familiar pair of shoes.

Looking up along the shoes, he saw the eldest lady's shocked expression.

Zhou Susheng immediately got up from the ground and said that he had a little friction with them.

But the young lady saw Zhao Xu's move with her own eyes, so how could she believe that it was just a small friction?

The eldest lady has always hated those uneducated little hooligans, and now she can no longer tolerate Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang.

He immediately had the two men arrested and sent directly to the police station.

The local police station had a good relationship with the eldest lady's family. Seeing that the eldest lady was so angry, they locked the two men up for a few days.

By the time the two came out of the police station, the situation outside had changed. Rumors were spreading everywhere that the eldest lady and Zhou Susheng were going to get married.

I was the one who brought this up myself.

The eldest daughter felt that she might never meet someone who would satisfy her more than Zhou Susheng, and she explained her thoughts to her father.

His father naturally agreed. After all, Zhou Susheng's family business was doing quite well now, and he was worthy of the eldest daughter.

Unfortunately, these are just superficial.

After they were released, Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang were kicked out by the eldest lady's family without hesitation, and they began to live on the streets.

It was this time of wandering on the streets that made Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang learn a lot of things.

While they were wandering, they were accidentally recruited by people from Zhou Susheng's father's factory to do hard labor, but they found out that the factory was doing some shady business behind the scenes.

It turned out that in addition to running the tailor business, Zhou Susheng's father would occasionally help some men to seduce young girls.

He took the opportunity of sending clothes to knock those girls unconscious and then gave them to men from other places.

This kind of thing was done very secretly, and there were only a few people in the factory who knew about it.

If Zhao Xu hadn't gotten up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he probably would never have known about this.

I also heard those people say that Zhou Susheng's father did this very secretly and never exposed himself, so there were many out-of-town buyers looking for him.

As for those families who had lost their daughters, Zhou Susheng's father would always join forces with the eldest daughter's father to raise funds for them in the name of charity.

Over time, many people who had daughters knew that if their daughter was lost, there would be kind people who would give them money.

This is a great joy for families that favor boys over girls.

Although the girl I raised for so long was lost, I got an unexpected fortune. What a good thing.

As a result, many people began to deliberately knock their girls unconscious and throw them into the wild, and then lied that their girls were missing.

Zhou Susheng's father naturally realized that someone did this on purpose, so he also sent people to pay attention to those families who took the initiative to lose their girls.

Sending the person away after someone else has done this makes the person truly missing.

But many people just think that their girl is really heartbroken and doesn't want to come back on her own.

Relying on this, Zhou Susheng's father also made a lot of money.

Although Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang are small hooligans, they still have a sense of justice.

They previously thought that the families who lost their girls were deliberately using this scheme to get the donation money, but they didn't expect the truth to be like this.

So the two began to conspire to find evidence of Zhou Susheng's father's crime.

This difference is not a big deal. Zhao Xu discovered that Zhou Susheng's father had set his sights on his sister.

Zhao Xu's sister is only sixteen or seventeen years old now. Although she is not in school, she has been helping her mother with housework.

Zhao Xu was rebellious in his early years and had a very strained relationship with his mother, but he was really good to his sister, so he hurried home and told his mother to be careful and keep an eye on his sister.

He and Chen Jiang planned to find evidence of Zhou Susheng's father's bad deeds as soon as possible so that they could send this scumbag to jail.

But just as the two were proceeding in an orderly manner, Zhou Susheng discovered them.

Although Zhou Susheng looked down on his father's behavior, he was still his biological father after all.

He didn't want his father to go to jail, and he didn't want his engagement with the eldest daughter to be cancelled, so he chose to take action early.

He found someone to completely eliminate Zhao Xu and Chen Jiang, but the result went against his will. Not only did he fail, he was also discovered by the two.
