Zhao Huan's behavior stunned Zhao Cheng, while Zhou Nuo's reaction left Zhao Cheng speechless.
What are you guys doing?
Are you kidding me?
Heroine Zhou, you were so shy and hesitant when you were in Lingshan, but after just one night of reading comic books to you, you've grown up so much?
And what's wrong with you, old man? I clearly told you my girlfriend was Yang Cai'e, okay? And now you've arranged another one for me!
Zhao Cheng's thoughts were a bit confused by Zhao Huan and Zhou Nuo. It wasn't that he disliked Zhou Nuo; on the contrary, the more he looked at Zhou Nuo, the more he liked her.
But the problem is, I made a promise to Yang Cai'e!
How can I explain to Yang Cai'e that I was "hijacked" like this?
So annoying.
He shouldn't have thought about settling down and starting a family properly; it would have been so much better if he had continued being a playboy!
Zhao Cheng regretted his rashness.
Zhao Huan was very satisfied with Zhou Nuo's answer and said with a smile, "Then it's settled. With this relationship, you can stay at the manor without worry for now. Come to me at noon tomorrow and tell me about what's happening in the martial world."
"Yes!" Zhou Chuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Then we'll take our leave now."
"Go and rest."
Knowing that Zhao Huan and his son had more to say, Zhou Chuan and his sister left.
As soon as the brother and sister left, Zhao Cheng jumped up and down in a panic, wanting to question Zhao Huan. Zhao Huan quickly said, "Let's not talk about this now. Take me to your elegant and unpretentious manor for a stroll."
Zhao Cheng was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "You're going to the club?"
"Go to hell! Do you want me to get killed by your mother?" Zhao Huan walked towards the door and said, "Let's go see the new garden you won. We'll have a private chat, just the two of us."
Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I also have something to ask you!"
Elegant Manor.
Zhao Cheng led Zhao Huan on a walk around the perimeter of the club. Tonight was not an open day for the club, so although they could not hear the laughter and chatter inside, they could see the dazzling lights outside.
After chatting for a while about the club's operations, the father and son took a walk around the artificial lake in the manor.
"You must be keeping more than five hundred people on Mount Ling, right?"
"Eight hundred."
"That makes a thousand."
Zhao Huan sighed and said, "I knew I couldn't fool you."
Zhao Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, "If that's the case... then isn't it more than a thousand?"
"There really is only one thousand!"
Zhao Huan shouted frantically, "Can't you trust your father? There's no room for more than a thousand people on that mountaintop!"
"How would I know? You won't let me go up and take a look."
“Acheng, do you know what it means if this gets out? Not only will I not let you go up, but I also hope you can forget about it.”
"So I'm not getting a share of the iron ore business?"
"Isn't what's mine yours?!"
"I also have three younger brothers."
"Give me a break, do you think those three can outsmart you?"
"Dad, what you're saying is affecting our brotherhood!"
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "Anyway, don't even think about going to Lingshan anymore. And your friends from the Xiao family, you have to make them give up the idea of going to Lingshan again, or I'll make them disappear."
Zhao Cheng pursed his lips and said, "Old man, you weren't this murderous before."
"Compared to our family and the brothers on the mountain, do you want the Xiao family to die or us to die?"
"I'm not dead, I'm not dead, I'm not dead! I can handle the Xiao family! I'm just curious about what channels you used for the iron ore business..."
Zhao Cheng suddenly stopped speaking, as if he had thought of something. His heart suddenly raced, and he said, "Old man, you're not running this mine for any other reason than to make a living, are you?"
"Even you suspect I'm planning a rebellion?"
"You don't look like someone who would rebel, but you are certainly suspicious."
"I support them through the iron ore business; otherwise, where would I get the money?"
"That's true..."
Zhao Huan seemed to be tired from walking. He stopped and looked at the dark lake, put his hands on his hips and said, "You've been watching Chen Yuxian from the Ministry of War in Dongdu for a long time, haven't you?"
"Mm." Zhao Cheng nodded.
“I investigated him after the incident. He was an old spy for Southern Weekly and a big shot in the Southern Weekly intelligence system. I never expected that he would be caught by you.”
"It was Zheng Hongxiu who noticed his unusual behavior."
Zhao Huan gave Zhao Cheng a satisfied look and said, "The way of thinking and perspective of people from the martial arts world is different from ours. Making good use of people from the martial arts world can indeed achieve twice the result with half the effort, and you did a good job in this regard. So even if he hadn't instigated Wang Yufeng to take action, you would have taken action against him anyway?"
"My initial plan was to give the credit to Deng Fugui."
Zhao Huan thought for a moment, seemingly searching his mind for this person, before finally saying, "Deng Fugui has approached me several times, both openly and secretly. What do you think of him?"
"They can handle things clearly and also shoulder responsibilities."
"Then let's find an opportunity to meet him, let's bring him here."
"Old man, you're not going to ask me to make room for you again, are you?"
Zhao Huan nodded, patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's find a quiet spot, in a big room."
Zhao Cheng understood and said, "This is why you came here!"
"You have plenty of space here, don't be stingy."
"I give up..."
Zhao Cheng finally couldn't hold back any longer. Bringing up what had just happened at the manor, he said sternly, "You know perfectly well that I'm going to marry someone else, yet you still want Zhou Nuo to be your daughter-in-law. Are you out of your mind?!"
Upon hearing Zhao Cheng bring up the matter, Zhao Huan smiled, put his hands behind his back, and continued walking along the lake.
"You can't fool me with that look in your eyes. I can tell you like her."
"Then you should at least discuss it with me first, right?"
"You're the one who said you were in a hurry."
"There's no rush!" Zhao Cheng scratched his head and said, "What do we do now? Who do you want me to marry?"
