Chapter 195 Ask her to meet
"This Mao Dexing is not a good guy. I will go with Aya."
"I'll go too. Xiao Fang should go too. He'll be worried about having too many people."
"No banquet is good, we must be prepared, this Mao Dexing is definitely going to cause trouble."
"right!"
In the end, Zhao Liya decided to go with Hu Ling. "He's the county magistrate's brother-in-law, after all. If we go with more people, it'll seem like we're deliberately antagonizing him. There's no need. My brother and I can handle him. It's broad daylight, and we're in a restaurant in the city. What can he do? Brother Xiaofang, just get us some medicine and we'll be ready."
Yu Xiaofang perked up. He was an expert at this. "Yes, yes, I'll get you some more related medicines. You can use them for self-defense or offense. Use them however you want!"
Lin Mo: "Xiao Fang and I are waiting outside the restaurant. If anything happens, please send a signal."
The signal arrows given by Han San and Han Si can come in handy.
Zhao Xiang: "This arrangement is safe, so proceed as it is. Aya, Aling, since Mao Dexing has so blatantly asked to see you, I'm afraid he won't be polite and will most likely come straight to the point. You should think carefully about how to respond. County Magistrate Yin will stay here for at least two years, maybe even longer. If there's a falling out, it will be a real nuisance."
"You don't have to be too afraid. If this guy insists on causing trouble for you, you won't be able to avoid it by just giving in. If that really comes to that, I'm afraid I'll have to ask General Zhong for help."
Zhao Xiang wasn't a pedantic person. When he couldn't save his family, he didn't mind begging for help. He would find a way to repay the favors he owed.
Zhao Liya smiled. "Dad, it's not that serious! We still have Zaihu Village, Bajiao Village, and Baijia Village. We may not be close enough to that level, but we have common interests, and that's enough."
Zhao Xiang nodded and smiled. His daughter could always explain things clearly.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling arrived at Wangchun Restaurant as scheduled, but Mao Dexing's lackeys did not allow Hu Ling to enter.
"Our master invited Miss Zhao, so only Miss Zhao can enter. All other outsiders must leave."
Hu Ling got anxious when he heard this. How could he let Zhao Liya go in alone? "My sister is young, I——"
"What do you mean by 'you'?" the servant shouted impatiently, "What is the status of our young master? And what is your status? Do you think that anyone who wants to see our young master can see him?"
Hu Ling: “.”
I’m so angry!
He is just the brother-in-law of a county magistrate, but from his tone, someone who doesn’t know him would think he is some royal relative!
Zhao Liya winked at him: "Brother, wait for me outside."
Yu Xiaofang was particularly thoughtful and considerate. He made some transparent cream and asked Zhao Liya to apply it on her face and hands. Her skin immediately became several shades darker and her appearance decreased by three or four points.
Hu Ling was helpless, "Then you, take care of yourself."
He wanted to say "Be careful!", but he changed his mind in front of the lackey.
Zhao Liya nodded and followed the servant into the restaurant and into the private room on the second floor.
In the private room, there were only Mao Dexing and a servant, who was probably his confidant.
Seeing Zhao Liya come in, Mao Dexing narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Liya from head to toe without restraint. He smiled with some contempt: "Are you Zhao Liya? I didn't expect you to be so young. How old are you this year?"
Zhao Liya's eyes fell on the teapot on the table, and she wanted to swing it and hit him on the head.
"Mr. Mao wants to see me, what's the matter?"
Mao Gui, the servant beside Mao Dexing, glared at Zhao Liya: "You really don't understand the rules at all! Is that how you ask?"
Zhao Liya: "Mr. Mao is a straightforward person. I dare not waste your time. If you have something to say, just say it. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
Mao Gui snorted coldly: "You are quite obedient!"
Mao Dexing was grinning, his half-closed triangular eyes sparkling with light, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Liya again. He originally wanted to give her a stern warning, scare her and make her lose her composure, and then control her, wouldn't that be much easier?
But after just a few words, the initiative had been lost, and it was obvious that the unexpected attack would not work.
Mao Dexing wasn't surprised. He'd already inquired about the Zhao family's work for some unknown boss, and Zhao Liya was the main force, making almost all the major decisions. Strangers would visit the Zhao family from time to time, so it went without saying that they were definitely sent by the boss.
He had never seen those people, but people who had seen them said that they looked quite fierce and were not to be trifled with.
This did not make Mao Dexing retreat, but made him even more excited.
This kind of person is just what he likes!
He must make friends with people.
Isn't it interesting to see strong alliances? What's the Zhao family? If the big boss isn't stupid, he will definitely choose me instead of the Zhao family.
Not to mention, he can give him everything the Zhao family can give him, and he can also give him everything the Zhao family cannot give him.
"I think so," Mao Dexing pretended to drink a sip of tea and said slowly, "Then let's get straight to the point. Who are you working for? Who is the big boss behind you? Where is he?"
Zhao Liya thought he was just threatening to give her sugarcane and sugar, but she didn't expect his appetite to be so big that he wanted the big boss right away.
He wanted to kick the Zhao family out and take over himself.
With such a big appetite, you are not afraid of eating too much.
Zhao Liya was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "Mr. Mao, this matter is not easy to explain. The boss has repeatedly told us not to reveal his identity. I am timid and dare not say it. Otherwise, if I anger the boss, I am afraid I will not be able to bear the consequences."
Mao Gui scolded him, "How dare you! Just answer whatever our Master asks you. If you can't handle it, can't our Master handle it either? Humph, this is Gaolian County, and our Master is the ruler of this area. No matter who he is, he has to obey our Master when he comes to this place!"
Mao Dexing sneered contemptuously and glanced at Zhao Liya.
"But, but——"
"No buts, tell me!"
"But I don't know!"
"Are you trying to make fun of me?" Mao Gui was furious.
Zhao Liya: "I really don't know. The big boss has never been here. To him, this little bit of business is just a whim for fun. It doesn't matter at all. He's usually busy with big business that makes big money. How can he care about this?"
Mao Dexing didn't doubt this at all, but believed it even more.
If he didn't have a fortune, who would be willing to spend so much money on this land? But the big boss was very generous and kept buying land and hiring people to grow crops.
