The Zhao family, who had been chattering away just moments before, suddenly fell silent. They must have been terrified, afraid that this incident would ruin the Zhao family, and they would no longer be able to enjoy their wealth and glory.
Zhao Gao laughed angrily. "See? That's human nature." he thought. "Why didn't they restrain themselves and their families before their misdeeds were exposed?"
Do we have to wait until it's exposed before we start fixing it?
Sorry, it's too late.
Sure enough, soon those so-called blood relatives started taking turns saying, "Boss, you don't want to see our Zhao family go down in flames, do you? Can you and Shuaihao do it? We promise we won't do it again, we'll definitely keep those brats in check!"
"Yes, yes, eldest brother, look at how hard the old man worked to build this business, we can't just stand by and watch it go to waste, can we?"
Hehehe...
I really want to laugh at these people.
"Coming to me is useless, coming to Shuai is useless. This is a decision made above. Do you think we can interfere?"
Upon hearing this, the old man was disheartened.
However, as the saying goes, experience is the best teacher, and in times of crisis, they can definitely do what is most beneficial to their family.
"Quiet down, everyone. I'm about to announce a decision: those Zhao family members on the list will be temporarily left alone. No one is to do anything behind the scenes, just like the Gu family did."
Once the old man made his decision, although no one was entirely willing to accept it, no one dared to say anything more.
Yes, compared to the interests of all the powerful, those arrested children are nothing. In large families, the one thing they have in abundance is children.
Seeing that the old man had made his decision, Zhao Gao sat down directly: "As the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, I want to announce something. From now on, if anyone dares to do anything that harms the interests of the country and the people, then get out of the Zhao family, no matter who it is!"
Thinking of how handsome they were before, and how many people in the elite group had sacrificed themselves because of this incident, Zhao Gao felt terrible.
I was once a member of the elite team, and I considered the team more important than my home.
It's ridiculous that even their own blood relatives intervened to help their comrades after their sacrifice.
Everyone was angry at Zhao Gao's words but dared not speak out.
Are you going to stage a large-scale rebellion? So, do you want to be an enemy of the country and the people?
At this moment, the old man's eldest daughter, Zhao Gao's aunt, suddenly spoke up: "Dad, what about my sister's child? What if she makes a scene if we don't take care of her?"
The Zhao family had received money from Zhao Lan to varying degrees; it's a classic case of "he who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding."
If you have money, you can even acknowledge an illegitimate daughter.
The old man frowned but did not answer immediately, while Zhao Gao, who had remained silent, lowered his head and laughed mockingly.
But this has nothing to do with me. My cousin doesn't have the surname Zhao, so if something happens to him, it won't affect me.
"I'll discuss this with Old Man Gu later. You don't need to worry about it. Go back now. It's making a scene here."
Soon, everyone in the room left, leaving only the old man and Zhao Gao and his grandson.
Zhao Gao knew what the old man wanted to say to him, so he sat there quietly, waiting for the old man to continue.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the old man spoke up: "Eldest son, you must remember that you are the next leader of our Zhao family. In the future, you will need the help of the family members to handle matters. Sometimes, don't go too far. If it's not serious, just turn a blind eye."
