Chapter 233: Was Killed

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhou Anguo did not expect Jiang Tong to know about this person. Dong Yuan had been dead for more than ten years. Even his sons, Zhou Jingyun and Zhou Mingfei, might not remember this. More than ten years ago, Zhou Jingyun and Zhou Mingfei were still young. Moreover, the Dong family from more than ten years ago was not as powerful as they were now. The Dong family had only made a fortune in recent years because the most important figure in the family had a high enough position.

“You’re really knowledgeable, Miss Jiang. Why did you suddenly mention Dong Yuan?” Zhou Anguo’s tone was very harsh, and he was very angry inwardly.

“Dong Yuan is dead. He died when he was in his third year of high school,” said Jiang Tong.

“Of course, I know that Dong Yuan is dead. He accidentally drowned while swimming.” Zhou Anguo’s tone was still very unpleasant.

“He didn’t drown by accident.” Jiang Tong stared at Zhou Anguo and said seriously, “Shao Ying killed him.”

Zhou Anguo’s expression froze. Shao Ying killed Dong Yuan? He recalled the incident more than ten years ago. It seemed as though Dong Yuan had met an accident. Although the incident had spread, there was no disturbance. Therefore, Zhou Anguo could not recall much information, so his understanding of this matter was limited. He only knew that Shao Ying and Dong Yuan seemed to be in the same high school. This was the only connection between the two of them. Whether it was back then or now, the Dong family and the Shao family were not very close.

Being in the same high school together did not mean that they had much of a connection because Dong Yuan was two years older than Shao Ying. Therefore, when Dong Yuan died, he was in his third year of high school. Shao Ying was still in her first year of high school, so the two of them would not have any interaction. Moreover, after Dong Yuan died, it was not because the school said that Dong Yuan drowned by accident, but because the Dong family believed that Dong Yuan drowned by accident. Naturally, the Dong family investigated and confirmed that Dong Yuan’s death was really an accident. Although because of this incident, Dong Yuan’s mother cried her heart out and fainted several times. She was even hospitalized and recuperated for a long time, but there was nothing they could do. They could only blame God for being blind.

Jiang Tong suddenly mentioned Dong Yuan and said that it was Shao Ying who killed Dong Yuan. Zhou Anguo initially felt that such a big incident should have some basis. Therefore, he carefully thought about it, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Impossible. If Dong Yuan was murdered, how could the Dong family not find any suspicious points? However, he had never heard of related rumors, so he was very sure that Dong Yuan’s death was an accidental drowning!

Even if Dong Yuan was killed by Shao Ying, the Dong family was only slightly inferior to the Shao family back then. The Shao family would be crazy to provoke the Dong family. Zhou Anguo had never heard of any major conflict between the Shao family and the Dong family. Even minor conflicts were rare. Even if there was a real conflict, there was no reason for them to touch a junior who was still in school. No large family would do such a thing! Moreover, even if it was a personal grudge between Shao Ying and Dong Yuan, the Shao family would not help Shao Ying to attack Dong Yuan and create an accident. It was impossible to attack a junior who did not affect the interests of the family! If this was discovered by other families, they would be a laughing stock! It would be enough to cause a stir in all the influential families! After all, even with a deep hatred, attacking a junior who had not grown up would be ridiculed by others!

“Miss Jiang,” Zhou Anguo thought for a long time before he finally stared at Jiang Tong and said, “You must remember that you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say anything you want. You’re saying that Shao Ying killed Dong Yuan. Do you know what the consequences will be if this matter gets out? People will die if you spread rumors like this!”

“But what I said is true,” replied Jiang Tong with a faint smile.

“Really? What about the evidence? If you made up something without evidence just to make me think that Shao Ying is bad and might endanger our Zhou family, then I can tell you now…” before Zhou Anguo could finish his words, Jiang Tong interrupted him. “Which part of it do you think is illogical?”

“Where is the logic at all? No matter what the reason is, the Shao family would never touch a kid who is still in high school!” Zhou Anguo said affirmatively.

“I didn’t say the Shao family touched Dong Yuan. I was talking about Shao Ying. Shao Ying killed Dong Yuan,” Jiang Tong emphasized.

Zhou Anguo’s expression froze. He understood what Jiang Tong meant, but he felt that something was even more wrong. “You mean Shao Ying did it herself? And the Shao family didn’t help her do it?” His tone was even more doubtful, Shao Ying was only in her first year of high school when Dong Yuan died. She was a sixteen-year-old kid!

“Yes, Shao Ying did it. She did it alone. She was the only one who knew about it before she took action. After Dong Yuan died, the number of people in the Shao family who knew the truth could be counted on one hand. Even the old master of the Shao family found out about it later on,” Jiang Tong replied calmly.
