Only then did Zhao Hujiang realize the seriousness of the situation. He pulled Zhao Ping's hand away, walked to the door, and said to Zhao Hai, "Let's go find a quiet place to talk!"
As soon as Zhao Hujiang and Zhao Hai left, Zhao Ping leaned against the gate to see where they were going, but she didn't dare to go out, afraid that something might happen to Zhao Rong.
Zhao Hujiang and Zhao Hai arrived at a stairwell. Zhao Hai looked around to make sure no one else was there before asking, "Dad, were you robbed by someone?"
Zhao Hujiang paused for a moment, as if he understood something, and nodded, saying, "That's right. I borrowed 100,000 yuan from Zhou Chengzhi, but unexpectedly, two lads robbed me on the way!"
Zhao Hai, feigning intelligence, said, "Do you know why you were robbed?"
Zhao Hujiang looked at Zhao Hai and sneered, "How come I didn't know? It was Zhou Chengzhi who sent them!"
Zhao Hai looked at Zhao Hujiang with some surprise and said, "Dad, you know all about it?"
"If I waited for you to find out all this, I would have been buried halfway down by now!"
"How did you know, Dad?"
"When those two bastards were robbing me, I took out a bill from my bag and then borrowed money from Zhou Chengzhi. I never expected that what Zhou Chengzhi lent me was the money he had stolen. Once I took the money from him, I naturally knew what was going on!"
Zhao Hai was completely dumbfounded. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad, you're really shrewd! I never expected you to have a backup plan!"
"I'm so lucky. If Zhou Chengzhi hadn't lent me the money I stole, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference!"
"I never expected that someone as clever as Zhou Chengzhi could miscalculate!"
"It wasn't that Zhou Chengzhi miscalculated; it was that he was too clever. He thought he had everything under control, but he didn't realize he had already given himself away!"
"Dad, you shouldn't be polite to this kind of despicable person. How do you plan to deal with him?"
"Sigh, we can't do anything to him! Your sister's surgery was paid for by her uncle. If we do something to him, how will we explain it to Yan Zhijun?"
"Ah! So you're letting Zhou Chengzhi off so easily?"
"There's nothing we can do; his uncle is Yan Zhijun! We can only suffer in silence!"
Zhao Hai said with some resentment, "No, I can't swallow this insult. I'll retaliate in kind!"
"Zhao Hai, you can't be impulsive. That's your weakness—you're too easily angered!"
"Then, what do you suggest, Dad?"
"Besides this, what else do you know?"
"I heard two things. Besides what happened to you, I also heard that Zhou Chengzhi arranged for Liu Wu and Hao Liu to hit Pengfei's aunt!"
"Oh, that must have happened about half a year ago. I heard that Pengfei's aunt was hit by a car. I didn't expect it was also arranged by Zhou Chengzhi. I need to tell Pengfei about this. It's my way of giving back to Pengfei!"
"Alright! Dad will tell Pengfei about this. It's my way of making amends. By the way, Dad, what are you planning to do next? You're not going to just stay silent and let others take advantage of you, are you?"
"I want to help Pengfei secure the development rights for the cotton mill, firstly to repay a debt of gratitude, and secondly to vent my anger!"
Zhao Hai gave Zhao Hujiang a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "Brilliant, brilliant, absolutely brilliant, Dad. From today onwards, I'll lend you a hand."
"From today onwards, you must help me protect Pengfei and make sure nothing happens to him again!"
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad!"
After seeing Zhao Hai off and bidding farewell to Wu Shanshan, Zhou Chengzhi went directly to the residential area where Yan Zhijun lived.
The house in this community is also Yan Zhijun's private property, which is generally unknown to most people. This is because Yan Zhijun bought it using Zhou Chengzhi's name, so Zhou Chengzhi knew about it and even gave him a key to the house, allowing him to come and go as he pleased.
Zhou Chengzhi waited in the house for almost two hours before Yan Zhijun finally arrived, carrying only a briefcase.
Yan Zhijun, wearing an executive jacket, saw Zhou Chengzhi sitting on the sofa drinking tea as soon as he entered the house.
Yan Zhijun wasn't surprised to see Zhou Chengzhi. He put his briefcase on the table and said, "What brings you here to see me?"
Zhou Chengzhi sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, I had no other choice but to come to my uncle for help!"
"Hmph, you think you're so smart? Go ahead and try! I bet you're about to turn the world upside down!"
"Oh dear, Uncle, stop with the sarcastic remarks. If this continues, your nephew will definitely end up in jail!"
"It's good that you're in jail, it saves me some trouble. Although I feel bad for your parents, at least I'll live a few more years!"
"uncle!"
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Let's get serious. What's wrong with you? Tell me!"
"First, Liu Wu's murder will likely implicate me! Second, when Xiang Pengfei returns, you need to figure out how to deal with him, right?"
Yan Zhijun nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Wu's matter is indeed troublesome. It's no longer just a matter for the city; it's now a matter for the Provincial Public Security Bureau. They've joined forces with the Myanmar government to arrest Liu Wu in Myanmar. I believe Liu Wu won't last long before he's arrested!"
"Oh no! Then I'm in even more danger, Uncle! Please help me! My son hasn't even been born yet, he can't lose his father!"
"Don't worry! I'll shut Liu Wu up. Look at you, you're like a stray dog, what a mess you've become."
At this moment, Zhou Chengzhi was probably really scared. Not only was there cold sweat on his forehead, but his face was also pale, and his body was trembling involuntarily.
Hearing Yan Zhijun's words, he felt much more relaxed and then asked, "What about Pengfei, Uncle?"
"Sigh, Pengfei's matter is more troublesome than Liu Wu's. Liu Wu is just a small-time hoodlum, he's not worth the death, but Xiang Pengfei is your brother-in-law. No matter how you look at it, I can't bring myself to do it!"
"What's the big deal? My sister is divorcing him tomorrow. As soon as they're divorced, I'll have someone get rid of him!"
"Stop right there! It's best if you don't handle matters of life and death, or I won't be able to protect you!"
"Yes, Uncle, what should we do then!"
"Don't rush, let me finish. Your sister is always prudent in her work, never dragging things out, and has never left me any trouble."
"Yes, my sister was personally trained by my uncle, and I believe in her abilities!"
"You're speaking a bit too soon!"
"What's the matter?"
"What's wrong? Your sister is wavering, especially about Xiang Pengfei. She said she was going to get a divorce tomorrow, but just before I was about to leave work, she suddenly called me and said she didn't want a divorce anymore!"
"What? No divorce? What's she up to?"
"How would I know? When you have time, you should talk to him and make him leave. He's been feeding Xiang Pengfei too much; something bad is bound to happen sooner or later!"
"Okay, I'll go ask Yuxiang in a bit and see what she's thinking!"
"Don't go for a while. Don't disturb her rest. She's busy enough with the transportation company's affairs. Adding Luo Ming on top of that will probably give her a huge headache!"
"Then I'll go tomorrow!"
"Um!"
Meanwhile, the newsstand at the alley entrance had already been cleaned up by Lin Dongzhe. Wu Shanshan sat in the ticket booth, staring intently at the opposite side, afraid of missing Wu Xiaojun.
At this moment, Wu Xiaojun also looked preoccupied, with his head down, focused solely on getting home.
As soon as Wu Xiaojun reached the alley entrance, he heard Wu Shanshan call out to him, "Xiaojun! Come here for a second!"
Wu Xiaojun looked up at the other side and shouted, "What's wrong, sis?"
Seeing that Wu Xiaojun had no intention of taking over, Wu Shanshan said somewhat angrily, "What? You think I can't order you around? You're my brother, and I'm your sister!"
Wu Xiaojun has been afraid of Wu Shanshan since he was a child. Whenever Wu Shanshan raises her voice even slightly, Wu Xiaojun knows he is going to get beaten up. So he is still afraid of Wu Shanshan. This may be due to the suppression of bloodline.
So when Wu Xiaojun heard Wu Shanshan's voice get louder, he quickly said, "I'm here, sis!"
As soon as Wu Xiaojun reached the other side, he asked, "What's wrong, sis?"
Wu Shanshan stared at Wu Xiaojun and said, "Do me a favor!"
