The distance to the Zhao family was far, so Xu Qingqing didn't plan to drive herself. Secretary Lin had already arranged her train ticket, and she would take the train directly to the capital.
Upon arriving in the capital, the car arranged by Party Secretary Ji was already ready.
Because it was a last-minute operation, there wasn't time to make detailed arrangements for many things. After being informed of Xu Qingqing's capricious plan, Party Secretary Ji actually appreciated it.
This girl's personality is exactly the same as his.
Respond to all changes with constancy.
If he were still alive, he would definitely like that girl very much.
For several days on the train, Xu Qingqing kept making medicine in her space. The more torturous the medicine, the more she wanted the Zhao family to taste it.
These past few days, Xu Qingqing has been in a state of high excitement. When the train arrived in the capital, it was already the early hours of the morning in the dead of night.
As soon as Xu Qingqing exited the train station, the people arranged by Secretary Ji handed over the car to her, according to their mission.
Just before getting into the car, Xu Qingqing handed a note to the man and drove towards the Zhao family.
The Zhao family.
The eldest brother, Zhao Yanlin, came to the study and waited quietly to the side.
On the white Xuan paper, Zhao De wielded his brush, making a few strokes before putting it down and waving to Zhao Yanlin.
Zhao Yanlin stepped forward a few paces: "My father's calligraphy is getting better and better."
Zhao De stroked his beard, not entirely satisfied with Zhao Yanlin's praise: "Sigh, it seems the third brother is more like me."
Zhao Yanlin lowered his head, a hint of frustration flashing in his eyes: "It's because my son is bad with words."
Like Zhao De, the third son, Zhao Yanguang, was particularly passionate about calligraphy and painting, which Zhao De greatly admired.
Although his abilities were not as good as Zhao Yanlin's, he was more pleasing to Zhao De than Zhao Yanlin in terms of his eloquence.
The second sister, Zhao Yanbing, was already married, but she would visit from time to time. Relying on her father's favor, she showed no respect whatsoever to her eldest brother.
This made Zhao Yanlin even more depressed.
Especially since he had no bloodline, Zhao De intended to have his third son inherit his position, and even set his sights on the daughter of his third son, a pharmaceutical genius.
Zhao Yingying.
In Zhao De's mind, his position as the eldest son was even more dispensable.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanlin clenched his fists. All these years he had worked diligently to maintain the Zhao family, but in the end he had only benefited others.
How unfair!
"Alright, how's the matter I asked you to do?"
Zhao Yanlin told him what had happened over there, and thinking of the news that came from there, he said, "Father, I think we still need to be careful."
Zhao De didn't take it seriously: "She's just a little girl, nothing to be afraid of."
"Yes." Zhao Yanlin nodded, but did not tell everything, omitting some things.
"By the way, take that Xu family boy to Old Man Wen's place. After all, he's his son-in-law. We haven't seen each other for over ten years, so we should have a proper reunion."
After saying that, Zhao De continued practicing his regular script calligraphy.
As Zhao Yanlin stepped back and closed the door, the resentment in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
The Zhao family belongs only to Zhao Yanlin; no one else should even think about getting involved.
It seems he needs to find a way to get rid of the third brother, this obstacle.
In his view, without the third brother, even if Zhao Yingying had strong pharmaceutical abilities, as long as he was the head of the family and in charge of the Zhao family, it wouldn't matter.
Zhao Yingying was just a pawn in his game; if she didn't obey, he would have no choice but to get rid of her.
Zhao Yanlin arrived at the place where Xu's father was being held and found Zhao Yingying, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, there: "What are you doing here?"
After thinking of something, he hurriedly opened the inner room. At this moment, Xu's father bit his lip tightly, resisting the pain brought by the medicine.
Zhao Yanlin knew perfectly well that Xu's father had been used as a research subject by Zhao Yingying.
Turning around, he angrily shouted, "Zhao Yingying, who told you to lay a hand on him!"
Zhao Yingying, dressed in a fiery red cheongsam, was admiring her red fingernails and didn't seem to care: "Uncle, it's just a little bit of medicine powder, why get so angry?"
She turned the medicine bottle around: "Besides, Grandpa said I can do whatever I want, so naturally, I can do whatever I want."
Zhao Yingying looked at him defiantly, completely disregarding this uncle.
"You!" Zhao Yanlin was about to raise his hand to teach her a lesson, but remembering Zhao De's protection, he could only suppress his anger: "I'll let it go this time, just quickly take out the antidote."
"Antidote? No, I'm sorry, Uncle. This is a new medicine I developed, and I haven't made an antidote yet."
Faced with Zhao Yingying's repeated provocations, Zhao Yanlin's eyes turned cold: "Zhao Yingying, this person cannot die yet. If anything happens to him, you and your father will have to explain it to him yourself."
"Tch! This is boring." Zhao Yingying tossed the antidote to Zhao Yanlin.
Zhao Yanlin fed the antidote to Xu's father and warned Zhao Yingying again, "There will be no next time."
Zhao Yingying rolled her eyes. Soon her grandfather would announce that her father would become the head of the family, and her uncle would soon become a cripple.
We can be arrogant for now, but we'll see later.
Oh!
Zhao Yingying had long disliked Zhao Yanlin. In fact, it was Zhao Yingying who caused Zhao Yanlin to not have children for so long.
From a young age, she knew that power was above all else. She had long coveted the Zhao family and had been quietly preparing for years, all for the day she could take control of the Zhao family.
She wanted to make the Zhao family her personal fiefdom.
As for the father?
Zhao Yingying sneered; that was nothing more than a puppet she had put on display.
The power struggles among the Zhao family members, and the succession to the position of family head, should come to an end.
Zhao Yanlin watched Zhao Yingying leave, then angrily kicked a chair beside him, yelling, "Damn it! They all deserve to die!"
How dare a junior treat him like this?
They simply don't take him seriously.
Everything that happened to the Zhao family was presented on Secretary Ji's desk.
Watching the infighting among the Zhao family members, Party Secretary Ji couldn't help but applaud, saying, "This is what a big family is like; their very roots are rotten."
It reeked of decay from the inside out, and was utterly repulsive.
He handed the Zhao family information to his subordinates: "Arrange for someone to deliver this to Comrade Xu. Remember, do it secretly."
"yes!"
By the time Xu Qingqing received the message, it was already the next day, and they were not far from the Zhao family's headquarters.
After reading it, Xu Qingqing gradually formed a plan in her mind. However, when she saw her father being hurt, the coldness in her eyes froze into a tangible form.
Is it Zhao Yingying?
If they dare to use her father as an experiment, let's see if she can withstand their retaliation.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Xu Qingqing arrived near the Zhao family manor and climbed a large tree to observe the situation inside.
I saw the decorations inside, as well as some thugs and servants walking around.
Xu Qingqing's eye twitched. If she didn't know better, she would have thought she had traveled to ancient times. It seems that the Zhao family still retains the ideas of the ancients.
No wonder they're so bold; look at their feudalistic mindset and how they indulge in it.
Te!
That's inhuman.
