"Young Master, my men have sent word that the Zhao family landed in Nancheng today," Zheng Qi said to Xie Wei, who was fiddling with his Buddhist prayer beads and looking out the window in the living room.
Xie Wei wore a black linen shirt with Chinese-style knotted buttons and a floral print reminiscent of ink painting, paired with a white long-sleeved shirt and black casual pants.
The Buddhist prayer beads were a gift from Su Miaomiao, and the clothes were a later addition by Su Tang.
This combination makes Xie Wei look like a banished immortal from a traditional Chinese ink painting, with a temperament as pure as snow and as elegant as orchids, and an indescribable sense of languor that transcends worldly affairs.
Even Zheng Qi couldn't help but look at him a few more times; it was envy between men.
The temperature in Nancheng plummeted in December, dropping to single digits. This outfit wasn't thick; it was autumn wear, but it fit Xie Wei perfectly.
Listening to Zheng Qi's words, Xie Wei seemed to be thinking about something and reacted, but only nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
The appearance of the Zhao family was within his expectations. After all, the current situation in Nancheng was a thorn in the side of Old Master Zhao, and he would definitely send someone to clean up the mess.
I just don't know if the person who came is from the eldest brother's lineage or from the second master of the Zhao family's lineage.
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Xie Wei picked it up, saw the account that sent the message, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Under Xie Wei's instructions, Zheng Qi drove to the North District and stopped in the parking lot of a restaurant. It wasn't far from the West District, and Xie Wei seemed to be waiting for someone there.
"Young Master, look," Zheng Qi pointed to a spot outside the window.
Xie Wei, who was in a daze, looked in the direction Zheng Qi was pointing and saw a group of people standing there.
The people surrounding him were all dressed in black suits with buzz cuts, and they were like security guards. In the middle was a woman who was giving instructions to the group of men in black suits.
From afar, one could see a red figure, her dress fluttering in the breeze like a blood-red butterfly, her ink-black hair flying in the wind—a sight that defied description!
When the other person finished speaking and turned around, you could see their fair and delicate skin and their captivating appearance. Unfortunately, their face was expressionless, giving off a refined yet aloof vibe. Yet, their overall aura was both pure and alluring, and you could also see a hint of stubbornness in them.
Xie Wei recognized this person; it was Zhao Yujin from the Zhao family. When the Xie and Zhao families were children, they often played together and had a good relationship. However, later…
Let bygones be bygones.
It's true that girls change a lot as they grow up; if Xie Wei hadn't investigated Zhao Hongbo during the scandal, he really wouldn't have recognized her.
Her presence in the North District suggests that she is a branch of the Zhao family from the South City residing in the North District.
Ordinary reclusive families don't have branches in various places, as this would be inconvenient to manage. They may have some relatives from other families, but they are all rooted around the main family.
Families like the Zhao and Su families are exceptions. The Zhao family's origins dictated that it needed the support of its collateral branches, while the Su family members were distributed across various regions' education departments, naturally establishing a system of collateral branches.
The Zhao family of Nancheng is a well-known force in Nancheng, and any powerful gang can get in touch with them. The only question is what their relationship is with Xiong Shanjing, the leader of the Eagle Gang.
Soon, several vehicles appeared in front of the group. They were all black SUVs, except that the one in the lead was a Knight XV, and the rest were Sentinels.
The lead car stopped in front of Zhao Yujin, and the driver got out and greeted Zhao Yujin respectfully.
After exchanging only a few words, the group got into the car and quickly disappeared from Xie Wei's sight, at which point Xie Wei also looked away.
Was the person sent by the Zhao family Zhao Yujin? The second master of the Zhao family hasn't made a move.
This is someone else's business, and Xie Wei is too lazy to think about it. He just doesn't know how capable Zhao Yujin is now.
However, judging from the outcome of Zhao Hongbo's case, it wasn't bad.
Mo Yue waited for a while, and Xie Wei seemed to have seen something and said, "Wait for the car that comes in later."
Zheng Qi glanced at the car that had come in; it was a very ordinary minivan, nothing special. But he didn't ask why; he just needed to follow orders.
The van circled the parking lot once, but left after failing to find a parking space.
Zheng Qi followed the van to a section of the road near the outskirts of the North District. This area was considered the outskirts of the South City, close to the mountains and forests, with high air quality. It was also far from the city streets, so gang fights wouldn't affect this area.
Those who know how to enjoy life will choose to come here to rest, and those who come to travel based on travel guides will also come here to stay for a week.
Therefore, you can see several guesthouses along this road, and it seems that the van's destination is one of these guesthouses.
Zheng Qi didn't pursue too closely, maintaining a suitable distance. He could see the other person, but the other person couldn't detect him.
The van quickly stopped in front of a guesthouse. The person who got out was a man with a buzz cut, a neat and tidy appearance, and a height of over 1.8 meters. His bulky physique could not be concealed by his oversized casual clothes, and he was wearing sunglasses.
This person was Qian Hao, a member of the Demon-Slaying Squad, and the person who sent the message to Xie Wei was Wei Zhuo.
He stood at the door, looking in the direction of Xie Wei's car, as if he was waiting for their arrival.
"Young Master, this..." Zheng Qi slowed down the car, not understanding what the other party meant for a moment.
Xie Wei naturally noticed Qian Hao's actions and said with a smile, "It's alright, go on."
Zheng Qi drove the car to the entrance of the guesthouse, and Xie Wei got out of the car, telling him to come pick him up again the next afternoon.
Seeing that Xie Wei intended to stay overnight, Zheng Qi glanced at Qian Hao, then at the guesthouse, and nodded.
