Yu Zhou’s explanation seemed simple, but once he acted, the fate of Su Tongchuan would be sealed.
The Su family wouldn’t risk everything for a young master who wasn't even a core member, especially not at this stage.
Su Tongchuan’s face turned from pale to ashen. It was clear that even he found it hard to accept being threatened by someone he looked down upon.
But was the threat effective? Of course, it was.
At least, he was taking deep breaths now, his emotions teetering on the brink of eruption.
He had never dreamed that events would take such a turn.
He had evidence, proof of him orchestrating Liu Feng. Once this evidence was submitted, the outcome would be obvious without a second thought.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he desperately wanted to order his subordinates to punch Yu Zhou to death right then and there.
However, his reason told him it would be utterly useless.
Since Yu Zhou dared to come, it meant he had leverage. What good would killing him here do?
Business competition, even if it involved breaking the law, wasn’t a capital offense. But in this era, if you actually killed someone, the situation would become entirely different.
Su Tongchuan dared not even imagine what he would face next.
“How did you get the recording? I’m warning you, trying to frame me will bring you no good.”
His somber expression made it clear to everyone that Su Tongchuan was extremely unhappy at this moment.
Yet, everyone understood that his not exploding at this moment signified his compromise. It wasn’t the questioning of the truth that mattered, but rather that he hadn't suddenly erupted.
“You can choose not to believe me. Of course, you can continue to deal with me. That is your right.”
“As for whether I’m framing you, you’ll know when the time comes.”
Yu Zhou smiled and said simply.
Even though Su Tongchuan’s face flushed red, he couldn’t utter a single word.
Standing up, Yu Zhou felt he had nothing more to discuss with Su Tongchuan and directly opened the private room door.
He even left without bothering to finish his meal.
Silence fell upon the private room. Neither Su Tongchuan nor his bodyguards spoke a word.
“Crack!”
Su Tongchuan suddenly erupted, smashing all the bowls and plates in the room to pieces.
Back home, Yu Zhou's expression finally turned incredibly grim.
Before going, he hadn’t expected Su Tongchuan to behave this way.
But now, it seemed the matter was far from over.
He believed that Su Tongchuan would spare no expense to fight him this time, not just because he held his leverage, but more importantly, because Yu Zhou had threatened him.
But was this truly a good thing?
Even if Yu Zhou was confident of having the upper hand and even confident of sending Su Tongchuan to prison, what would happen afterward?
Su Tongchuan might be dealt with, but he would have thoroughly offended the Su family.
At that point, who knew what kind of trouble his factory would face.
Yu Zhou was not someone who would back down from trouble just to keep the peace.
So, even knowing that a pile of troubles awaited him, he would still do what he had to do.
However, to have no foresight would also lead to a very awkward situation.
Even after returning home, Yu Zhou’s mood didn’t improve. Doing business was always a continuous stream of problems, much like managing a household.
“What’s wrong? Still worried about the factory? Didn’t you say you already have evidence?”
Upon returning home, Yu Zhou, with Jiang Jie’s attentive care, soaked his feet.
All his fatigue seemed to vanish under these circumstances.
It was Jiang Jie, like a harbor, who was always by his side.
Thinking back now, in his past life, he was truly a worthless person. Even if that accident wasn't his fault, if he had been a little more ambitious back then, he wouldn't have ended up with a ruined family.
“It’s nothing! Running a business is never smooth sailing. Once one problem is solved, a new one arises.”
“You’ll get used to it gradually. Adjust your mindset; we haven’t reached the point of failure yet.”
Yu Zhou smiled, looking at his pregnant wife, and unknowingly, a strange confidence began to grow.
No matter what, even if this life was difficult, he still had his family and his wife.
This was already much better than his situation in his previous life.
Moreover, the current situation wasn't that dire yet.
It was just basic business competition. Even if he ultimately lost the competition, it would at most mean losing some money.
Speaking of money, ever since he secured another million in funds from Wang Hai, he wasn’t that short of cash anymore.
That money was still sitting in his account, not yet put to much use.
“You, we’re not that short of money now. Why do you have to work yourself so hard?”
“I don’t expect you to be incredibly wealthy! Too much money, really, isn’t always a good thing!”
Jiang Jie handed Yu Zhou a towel, a hint of complaint in her voice.
Her goal had always been simple: a harmonious family and a few children.
However, Yu Zhou was not very satisfied with this state of life.
As Yu Zhou wiped his feet, he began to coax his wife.
“You have to have some ambition! Our family is barely considered wealthy now. Do you want your husband to go back to how he was before, slacking off at home, finding a job in a factory just to get by?”
He knew how many times his past state had hurt Jiang Jie.
He knew that Jiang Jie didn't want to see him just idly passing his days.
Upon hearing Yu Zhou's words, Jiang Jie glared at him and stopped talking.
“What? They came after you?”
“Alright, I’m heading over now!”
Just as darkness fell and he had finished soaking his feet, his mobile phone rang. Yu Zhou answered and said directly.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Jie asked, confused.
“Someone from the Su family is trying to mediate. Guess who they found?”
Yu Zhou smiled and began to put on his coat.
He hadn’t expected them to be able to move Madam Song Qing.
