So since your family is rich anyway, why don't you come up with 50 million?

Zhou Cheng's words seemed to contain some substance, leaving Zhou Wanyu's little head momentarily unable to process them.

"So, Second Brother, what you mean is, Eldest Sister knows you will tolerate her, forgive her, and love her, which is why she keeps losing her temper at you?"

"Exactly," Zhou Cheng replied.

Actually, there really was some truth to this aspect. One could say Zhou Shurong was brainless, but Zhou Shurong kept clamoring about saving the Chenyang Group and saving the Zhou Family. It was truly impossible to say she didn't love the Zhou Family or didn't consider herself part of the family.

Listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Zhou Wanyu felt for a moment that both Zhou Cheng and Zhou Shurong seemed to harbor familial affection for each other.

Zhou Wanyu's eyes sparkled as she inquired, "Then will you tolerate Eldest Sister, forgive her, and love her?"

"Of course not," Zhou Cheng replied bluntly!

Zhou Wanyu: ???

"So, every time she loses her temper at me, yells and screams, and demands I hand over the Chenyang Group shares, I mercilessly scold her back! Then I tell her to get lost!"

Zhou Cheng added.

Just now, the inspirational talk was just talk, but he wasn't part of that scenario, so he still had to do what needed to be done.

Lose her temper at him, and he should still tolerate and continue to love her? Did she think he was a punching bag or something?

Get lost!

Uh... Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Zhou Wanyu pouted. She had thought Second Brother would say something touching, like: 'Although Shurong often loses her temper at me, I don't blame her. She just doesn't understand my intentions. She'll understand me in the future,' or something along those lines.

And this is the result... Second Brother, are you really allergic to familial affection?

...In the afternoon, nearing evening, Zhang Weida rushed to the Zhou Family. After Zhou Cheng briefed him on the matter, he immediately hurried to the Police Station. Upon learning the person had been directly sent to the city, he quickly followed to the Municipal Bureau and swiftly immersed himself in the case!

After his arrival, besides briefing him on this case, Zhou Cheng also inquired about the previous case. Upon hearing everything was proceeding with the most severe demands, seeking the maximum penalty for the other party, he was satisfied and let Zhang Weida leave!

By evening, the video of Zhou Cheng arresting The Wretch and his gang, which had just been recorded this morning upon his return, also went viral online!

In the morning, those gossip-loving villagers had already uploaded the videos they recorded with their phones onto their respective Douyin accounts.

At this time, Zhou Cheng already had some online traction. Coupled with the Zhou Family holding a birthday banquet and Zhou Yuanbo's series of extravagant money-throwing actions, it had already gained some popularity online.

Thus, due to these many factors, the videos they uploaded in the morning instantly went viral!

After the villagers' videos gained some traction, many official media accounts also followed up and reported on them!

So, with fire added to fire, it instantly attracted a large number of netizens to watch!

"Returning to the Village and Being Begged for Ten Thousand? I Counter with Five Hundred Thousand!"

"Is the Zhou Family Birthday Banquet Too Extravagant? Professional Beggars Go Too Far, Ultimately Reaping What They Sow!"

"Zhou Cheng's Hometown Is Actually Here? Arrests Five Ruffians Right After Returning Home, Truly a Rising Star in the Police Force!"

"Professional Lawyer: Fraud of Five Hundred Thousand Starts at Ten Years, This Group Is Finished."

A large number of videos suddenly dominated tonight's hot topics. After watching, netizens all started chatting in the comment sections.

"Holy cow, is Second Young Master Zhou this fierce? Just got home and directly took down five?"

"So cool, honestly, this is exactly how they should be dealt with!"

"Any lawyers here? Kinda feels like Second Young Master might be entrapment. Can they really be sentenced? Very urgent!"

"Yes, that group fully meets all the elements constituting fraud. Although Second Young Master Zhou might have known beforehand they were lying and went along with it, as long as Second Young Master doesn't say he knew beforehand, then he didn't know."

"Then I'm relieved."

"Honestly, these ruffians are the most hateful. Idle all year round, and as soon as the New Year comes, they drag honest people into gambling, swindling away all the hard-earned money!"

"I'm not concerned about these ruffians. I saw the Zhou Family birthday banquet really gives ten thousand to each household?"

"Really, any kind soul can tell me how to transfer my household registration to Zhou Family Village? Very urgent, very urgent."

"Is this how wealthy families celebrate birthdays? Tens of millions directly thrown out."

"..."

The online buzz was huge, with netizens basically siding with Zhou Cheng, so Zhou Cheng didn't pay too much attention to it... The next day, as the sky gradually brightened.

Zhou Cheng still woke up early. When he went downstairs, he saw Zhou Daoming already practicing Tai Chi by himself in the backyard.

As Zhou Cheng approached, he seemed to have just finished practicing.

So, he called everyone to have breakfast together.

Zhou Yuanbo had returned last night. Now, after getting up, he was quiet and unassuming.

In the entire household, he originally ranked after Zhou Daoming and was the family's decision-maker, but now he could only rank third. Zhou Cheng held more authority than him!

After breakfast, Zhou Yuanbo had the driver come over, then took Zhou Daoming and the others to the Ancestral Hall.

As early as when Zhou Yuanbo returned, the old men of the Zhou Family in the village had come to discuss the Ancestral Hall renovation with Zhou Yuanbo!

At that time, Zhou Yuanbo didn't immediately agree, planning to wait until Zhou Cheng and the others returned!

And since Zhou Cheng arrived home yesterday, those people came again last night, then arranged to discuss matters at the Ancestral Hall this morning!

...The Zhou Family Ancestral Hall was built on the east side of Zhou Family Village, facing a large expanse of farmland in front and backed by mountain forests. After every household in Zhou Family Village started planting yellow peaches, every spring, the mountain behind the Ancestral Hall would be covered in Peach Blossoms!

In Zhou Cheng's family, his grandfather Zhou Daoming was an only child, but he was the eldest among his peers in Zhou Family Village. Also, Zhou Yuanbo was an only child! One could say Zhou Daoming's lineage was a bit thin, but going back a generation, the Great-Grandfather had seven brothers!

The Great-Grandfather's father also had several brothers.

Following this chain, anyway, the entire Zhou Family Village shared a single ancestor!

Many people had gathered in the Ancestral Hall.

"Yuanbo, now that you're back, you can see this Ancestral Hall has been dilapidated for many years. It's related to our Zhou Family's Luck!"

"If it's not properly renovated, I'm afraid not only us, but even your business in Shanghai will be affected."

"So anyway, your family is rich. How about your family contributing fifty million this time for a proper renovation?"
