Ma Chengkun picked up the phone and said softly,""Dad."
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end." I know about this. What do you plan to do?"
Ma Chengkun said fiercely,"I want him dead."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before he said,"Don't be stupid. If you want to kill him, it's easy. But you know who Niu Shisan is and where he is. Do you know when Niu Shisan will come to your house? "If we don't kill him, can you withstand his revenge? Can our newspaper company withstand his revenge? We should spend money to resolve this matter."
He then said,"Your uncle and I can't return to Southport now. You're still young, and I don't want you to be like me in the future, hiding from the world when you're old. Since he dared to threaten the entire Southport press so brazenly, it means that he still has a trump card. It's just that you're the one who's sticking your head out now."
Ma Chengkun said somewhat unwillingly," Are we just going to let it go like this? I'm not willing to accept this. Dad, we can't lose the Ma Family's face like this."
The other end of the phone suddenly shouted loudly," Bastard, you can't even take such a small loss, so how can I let you take care of my family business? What's face worth? When your uncle and I were young, when did we ever care about face? The most worthless thing in this world is face. Either you come to my side or you manage the news agency obediently. I'm warning you, don't provoke him again."
Ma Chengkun held the phone and didn't say anything, but the other end of the phone sighed and said,""Ah `Kun, when your uncle and I were young, we did all kinds of shameful things to earn money. We really never cared about our reputation. At that time, as long as someone was willing to pay, it was not a big deal even if we knelt down to him.
"When I'm old, I originally wanted to start a newspaper and be a proper businessman, but others didn't believe me. Even if you do charity outside, people will still look at you as a street gangster. That's all we'll be for the rest of our lives, but you're still young. You still have a long way to go in the future. I don't want people to say that my son was a street gangster when I die. I don't want to see a white-haired person die. There are some things that can't be tolerated."
Ma Chengkun listened to his father's advice, but he still did not say anything. The other side of the phone continued,"Didn't he say that stepping on the bottom line will kill people? You stepped on his bottom line this time, but no one died. Moreover, he only burned down the office area two floors below as revenge. This means that he doesn't want things to get out of hand.
If I'm not wrong, this is just a warning. If you continue to use his master to talk about it in the future, your life will definitely be in danger. Didn't the people below say that Niu Shisan had only touched them a few times before losing consciousness? Ah `Kun, you have to remember that you have a family. Don't provoke someone like Niu Shisan who suddenly appeared.
"Look at those street thugs from Southport. Which one of them would dare to provoke those people from the North? It's not that they're weak, but those people will run away after finishing their job. If Niu Shisan can suddenly appear today, he can also suddenly appear tomorrow. In the future, he'll be hanging around you every day. Do you want to guard against him every day like a thief? Then, do you still want to do other things?"
He continued," It's your choice whether you want to stay in Southport or come to my place. If you want to come to my place, then leave as soon as possible. If you want to stay in Southport, then publish an apology tomorrow and see how he reacts. If he doesn't react, then this matter can basically be settled. If he still wants to find trouble with you, then you'd better come to my place."
Ma Chengkun held the phone for a long time before saying, I think I'll stay in Southport."
In the Ming Pao building, Jin Yong and Ni Kuang were silent for a long time. They were shocked by the news that they had just received because their rival, the Oriental News Agency, had been set on fire. The strange thing was that the fire only burned the first and second floors and Ma Chengkun's office. The rest of the place was intact. What was even more unbelievable was that the fire could actually burn the machinery and equipment into ashes. Those were made of iron. How big of a fire would it take to do that? " Are you sure this has something to do with Xia Qiu?" Jin Yong asked in disbelief.
Ni Kuang nodded and said," It's 100% related to him. The Eastern News is now claiming that the machine was damaged, but their internal people all know that this matter has something to do with Xia Qiu. Do you still remember the article published by the Eastern News the day before yesterday?" It was the article that scolded Xia Qiu's master. It was said that Xia Qiu was very angry at that time and personally called Ma Chengkun, asking him to publish an apology in the newspaper, but Ma Chengkun refused.
He even threatened Xia Qiu with the price of 50 yuan per 1,000 words. If he didn't agree, he would continue to write articles to scold his master. In the end, the two of them fell out and even threatened to take revenge. As you know, the Oriental News was burned and it was said that more than two million Hong Kong dollars were lost. Hehe, this time they suffered a loss in silence.
The Ma brothers had just escaped to Nanwan, so how could Ma Chengkun dare to call the police at this time? Even if he did, it would be useless. There's no law in Southport that convicts an eight-year-old child. Besides, who can prove that he did this? Hur hur, he still wants to run a newspaper by hanging out on the streets. This time, he's finally met with an iron plate.
After listening to Ni Kuang, Jin Yong asked," How did you know about these things?"
Glancing at Jin Yong, Ni Kuang said smugly, All these years, I've been submitting novels to major newspapers. Do you think I've submitted them for nothing? That newspaper doesn't even have one or two friends.
Jin Yong sighed and said,"Fortunately, I stopped you from writing articles about his master. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been the Eastern News that was burned, but our newspaper office."
Ni Kuang also sighed and said," Yeah, you're thinking too far ahead. Otherwise, I might have been hacked to death on the streets. I'll have to stay away from him in the future. I just don't understand. How did he burn all those machinery and equipment? He even burned them to ashes?"
Jin Yong also shook his head, indicating that he did not understand.
Xingdao Daily's chief editor had also received a call from his boss today, telling him to try his best not to publish Xia Qiu's matters in the future. Even if he did, he could not offend him. The other big and small newspapers that knew the inside story of this matter were also shocked and broke out in cold sweat. This kind of strange thing, these small newspapers simply could not bear it. Fortunately, the Oriental News was a big business, or else it would really have closed down.
The next day, the headline of the Eastern News published an apology notice." Ma Chengkun, the head of the Eastern News, solemnly apologizes to Mr. Xia Qiu on behalf of all the staff of the Eastern News." Until this article appeared, everyone knew that the Eastern News had really admitted defeat this time.
After Xia Qiu finished reading the article, she chuckled and called Xia Jingfa, the editor-in-chief of the Oriental News. Tell Ma Cheng Kun that this matter is settled. In the future, you have to remember my bottom line."
After hearing this, Xia Jingfa let out a long sigh of relief. However, he thought to himself,'Xia Qiu really did this.'
