However, for some reason today, Mr. Kong Da doesn’t feel very at ease today. In addition, he has been worried about Zhou Wen's compensation for the past few days, and his wife has been nagging in his ears all day long, so he is a little tired and in a trance.
In particular, after suddenly hearing the news that the Liu family was hosting a banquet for Zhou Wen and his party at home today, I felt inexplicably panicked.
The three families who worked closely together and were united in the past, when the Kong family needed help the most, the Song family ignored it, while the Liu family just talked and laughed with their opponents in the banquet. What does this mean?
It shows that the principal's attitude is very clear, that is, the Kong family should give up their wealth to avoid disaster.
In fact, with Mr. Kong Da's intelligence and political acumen, he had long realized that it would be impossible for the Kong family not to lose some money this time. However, his wife was so domineering that he could not twist his thigh with his own arm, so he had no choice but to obey his wife's wishes. Drag this thing out.
However, the Liu family, which has always been suppressed by the Kong family, has openly stated that it is on Zhou Wen's side. In addition to the relationship between the Liu family's legitimate daughter and Zhou Wen, it is very interesting to see whether there are also hints and instructions from the principal. , Mr. Kong Da could not help but pay attention to it.
Moreover, according to various rumors about Zhou, he is also a ruthless and decisive person. One cannot help but worry whether he will be impatient with the Kong family's dilly-dallying and resort to some extraordinary measures.
At this time, Mr. Kong Da felt that he lacked a confidant as caring and capable as Zhang Yongfu to make suggestions, and he was looking forward to the return of Manager Zhang as soon as possible.
Mr. Kong Da knows that tonight is destined to be another sleepless night, and everything can only wait until tomorrow. Maybe Zhang Yongfu will call early tomorrow morning.
During the recent period, since both the Kong family were not sleeping well and slept in separate rooms at night, Mr. Kong Da naturally had no choice but to sleep in the small bedroom.
Unexpectedly, although Mr. Kong Da was still tossing and turning in the first half of the night, he actually slept very deeply in the second half of the night, so deep that he seemed to have not even dreamed, but could vaguely smell a strange fragrance.
The early morning sunlight cast a light curtain on the bedroom curtains that was not dazzling, and Mr. Kong Da slowly woke up from his deep sleep.
However, his head felt a little groggy, as if he was still awake, and his body was a little weak as if he was sick.
At the same time, I also smelled a fishy smell in my nose.
Mr. Kong Da turned over and sat up, lifted up the silk quilt, and felt sticky and wet on the quilt. He seemed not to be fully awake at this time, so he reached for the glasses he put on the bedside table and put them on. The bedside lamp is on.
Then he looked in the direction of the smell.
Then... Behind Mr. Kong Da's gold-rimmed glasses, his small eyes, which are usually not big and somewhat gloomy, are now as wide as bells, and they are full of fear and horror. color.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Screams that almost penetrated the roof and shot straight into the sky rose in the small foreign-style building called Kong Mansion...
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged maid heard the sound and opened the bedroom door. The bright light coming from outside the room immediately revealed Mr. Kong Da's frightened expression and the mess on the bed.
"Ah...ah..."
The middle-aged maid's shrill scream, an octave higher than Mr. Kong Da's, woke him up from his panic.
With agility and speed that was not suitable for his age, he jumped out of bed in one fell swoop. He raised his hand and slapped the maid who was already lying on the ground to silence her screams.
"Don't bark, don't make any noise, don't let your wife come in." Mr. Kong Da scolded him sternly.
But he didn't know that his glasses were stained with red at this time, and a drop of purple-red liquid was dripping from the edge of the frame onto the bridge of his nose, adding a hideous and terrifying look to his already pale face. He actually fainted the maid who was already scared to death.
Mr. Kong Da was panting heavily, and heavy drops of sweat fell from his forehead due to fright.
He slowly turned his head and looked towards the bed where he had been sleeping.
I saw that the silk quilt that I had covered myself with all night was covered with bloodstains that had turned purple and black, and at the end of the quilt, where my feet were when I slept, there was a slanted figure with tight eyes. The head was closed, but its mouth was open wide, with a look of pain and ferocity on its face.
Yes, you read that right, just a bodyless, bloody head.
He could recognize it at a glance. This was Zhang Yongfu, his general manager of the outer courtyard, who had been with him for decades and had helped him and the Kong family do countless conspiracies.
When he pulled back the quilt and took his glasses, his hands and glasses were stained with black blood, but he couldn't care less about it now.
He just stared blankly at Zhang Yongfu's head, which was neatly severed from the neck. There were complex expressions of fear, anger, sorrow, helplessness, confusion, etc. in his eyes, which foreshadowed the various emotions rising in his heart at this moment. .
He had already predicted that if he just delayed not expressing his position, this person named Zhou would definitely take action.
But he never expected that this action would be so bloody, so violent, and so overwhelming.
Of course he knew that this was what the person named Zhou did. It was the person named Zhou who issued a very serious warning to himself and the Kong family, full of cruelty and violence.
Mr. Kong Da seemed to hear the silent reminder from the young officer named Zhou from Zhang Yongfu's open mouth: "I don't want to wait any longer. Today I am just one of your trusted subordinates, but next time I may be..."
Arrogant, cruel, ruthless, tyrannical, unruly, and retributive.
Mr. Kong Da now finally has an intuitive and comprehensive understanding of Zhou Wen's temperament and methods.
This man is really a murderous bandit. He is really a maniac with evil intentions as rumored.
Although Mr. Kong Da has seen and experienced countless wars in his life, in most cases, due to the Kong family's family background and reputation, he was protected by a firewall and almost never faced bloody scenes.
There was only one exception, which was the time when he encountered the Boxer Rebellion when he was young.
He was only 16 years old at that time. At that time, he once watched the thugs use long knives, wooden sticks, and bamboo spears to hit his cousin who was standing behind him.
He could hear the sound of flesh and blood being ripped apart, and he could hear every painful scream from his cousin.
At that time, he felt angry, fearful, and panicked, but mostly helpless and hesitant.
He wanted to do something, but couldn't do anything.
And today, right now, this distant and profound feeling, as if it had been separated by countless centuries, appears again.
