The next day.
early morning.
After Chen Xuan finished his breakfast, he sat in the living room and looked at a map.
"Master Chen."
Ling Mo came, and Qin Tingyu came in with him.
It seemed that Qin Tingyu was with Ling Mo last night. As for where the two of them went and whether anything happened, Chen Xuan didn't know, and he couldn't be so shameless as to ask about such things.
"Meet Master Chen."
Qin Tingyu bowed slightly. She had always been respectful to Chen Xuan since the first time they met.
This made Chen Xuan wonder, is she Qin Baiye's sister, Zhang Tianci's mother, and Zhang Tao's wife?
Under normal circumstances, with her identity, she should hate Chen Xuan to the core.
I don't know whether she is respectful from the bottom of her heart or she is enduring humiliation for the sake of her brother, husband and son.
If it is the former, then it is easy to explain. If it is the latter, then we can only say that this woman is quite cunning.
Of course, Chen Xuan doesn’t care whether it is the former or the latter.
As long as he is strong enough, he can control everything.
"Master Chen, I believe that the news of Zhao Zhong's disappearance will soon spread to Hucheng. When the Zhao family in Hucheng investigates, they will immediately find that it is Tingyu. What should we do then?"
Ling Mo asked solemnly.
He came to see Chen Xuan early in the morning just for this matter.
There is no way, Hucheng is the Zhao family’s base camp, and nothing can escape the Zhao family’s eyes.
Once the investigation leads to Qin Tingyu, they will quickly send people to Mancheng.
"This is easy, just don't admit it."
Chen Xuan didn't care.
Qin Tingyu said with a serious face: "Master Chen, the Zhao family is very difficult to deal with. They are tyrannical and overbearing. As long as they find their way to Mancheng, they will lead people to dig deep into the ground to search for you, even if you don't admit it. If they can't find anything, the Zhao family would rather kill the wrong person than let you go!"
"By then, I, Ling Mo, and even you, will most likely be captured alive and thrown into prison. In the end, we will be tortured and forced to confess the truth."
"Also, once the Zhao family's people come, your kidnapping of the governor of Mancheng will be immediately exposed. By then, your situation will be more dangerous than ours."
Qin Tingyu has lived in Hucheng for many years, so he naturally knows the character of the Zhao family better than anyone else.
She said this now to make Chen Xuan feel a sense of urgency. If there was really no other way, he could just leave Man City and find another place to live.
As for the 400,000 taels of silver, there was definitely no way to take it all away. All he could do was take as much as he could.
"So it seems that the people of the Zhao family are quite domineering." Chen Xuan was a little surprised.
Qin Tingyu nodded: "As the largest family on the border, the Zhao family has always been very domineering, especially now that the Zhao family has married the King of Zhenxi, they are even more domineering, sometimes even daring not to give face to the Tianshan Sect."
Chen Xuan suddenly laughed and said, "So, the Zhao family is very rich?"
Qin Tingyu nodded: "Of course we have money. In fact, the Zhao family paid for the nearly 200,000 soldiers that the King of Zhenxi has raised, because the money allocated by the court is not enough!"
A family that can support an army of nearly 200,000 can indeed be said to be extremely wealthy.
But then again, the Zhao family can make so much money because they have the support of the King of Zhenxi.
Therefore, the two sides complement each other.
"Although Zhao Zhong is the most useless one in the Zhao family, his mother dotes on him very much. We cannot afford the revenge of the Zhao family." Qin Tingyu continued.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
Chen Xuan suddenly interrupted.
Qin Tingyu was startled and said, "We can't afford to offend the Zhao family's revenge?"
Chen Xuan: "No, not this one, the one before it."
Qin Tingyu: "His mother dotes on him very much."
Bang!
“That’s it!”
Chen Xuan clapped his hands and immediately became happy, "So, this Zhao Zhong must be very valuable?"
"Well……"
Qin Tingyu couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at Chen Xuan, then at Ling Mo, with a look of deep doubt on her face.
"Master Chen, what do these words mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Xuan actually counting on his fingers.
"What do you think is a good price for Zhao Zhong?"
After hearing this, Qin Tingyu was dumbfounded.
Even Ling Mo, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Master Chen, you are addicted to kidnapping."
Ling Mo was a little amused. He found that ever since Chen Xuan kidnapped Zhang Tianci and tasted the sweetness of success, he liked to tie up people who offended him and then ask their families to pay ransom.
I wonder how much money Chen Xuan made from this move.
"Kidnapping? That's not a nice thing to say. I call this protection money. Think about it. The world outside is so chaotic now. How safe is Zhao Zhong living here? Since he lives here, do we have to protect him? Do we have to spend money to buy food to feed him? If he's sick, we have to hire a doctor to treat him. All this costs money."
"So, the Zhao family wants to take him back. What's wrong with me asking them for some money?"
"If the Zhao family finds us, we will not admit that Zhao Zhong is here. If he finds us, we will give him a price of 200,000 taels of silver. We will hand over the money and the person!"
Hearing this, Qin Tingyu felt it was becoming more and more outrageous.
She smiled bitterly and said, "Master Chen, I'm afraid the Zhao family won't agree."
"Don't agree? Then I'll deduct all the money. I'll deduct as many as you send. As long as you don't send a martial king-level expert, it's nothing to worry about!"
Chen Xuan spoke indifferently.
Now that he has made another breakthrough and his strength has been further improved, he is naturally more confident.
"Master Chen, I know you are powerful, but the Zhao family is not short of martial king-level masters!"
Qin Tingyu sighed helplessly.
The martial arts master is high above, looking down on the world, and usually does not appear easily.
However, as the largest family on the border, the Zhao family is qualified to marry the King of Zhenxi. How could their strength be poor?
They are not only rich, but also full of experts!
Chen Xuan has really pissed off the Zhao family. It is not impossible that they will send out martial arts masters to bully the weak!
"Send a martial arts master to deal with me?"
However, after hearing this, Chen Xuan was not afraid, but laughed instead.
"Then let them send it. Who doesn't have a backer these days?"
"His Zhao family has a backer, but I, Chen Xuan, don't have a backer?"
Hearing this, Qin Tingyu was stunned.
Chen Xuan also has a backer?
She really didn't know about this, and Ling Mo never mentioned it.
Anyway, in Qin Tingyu's eyes, Chen Xuan is just a reckless man who is not afraid of anything.
"Master Chen, your backer is..."
