Zhao Tianlai hurried all the way and finally arrived at the Zhao family villa.
Zhao Tianlai looked up at the magnificently decorated door, stamped his feet, gritted his teeth, walked forward, knocked on the door, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the gate, he met Zhao Kang's mother Lan Cai, so he took a few quick steps and came to Lan Cai.
He said in panic, "Madam, it's bad. Young Master Zhao Kang has been detained and they are demanding 1 million in compensation before they will release him."
Lan Cai stopped her steps and looked at Zhao Tianlai with a frown when she heard what Zhao Tianlai said.
He said in a bad tone, "Zhao Tianlai, what's wrong with you? Don't you always boast that you are a famous figure?
Why was Zhao Kang captured and held hostage? Who is that person? They actually dared to ask for 1 million yuan. They really don't know how to live or die.
The head of the family's wife, Lan Cai, is less than 38 years old this year and looks very young. She has given birth to two sons for the Zhao family. In addition, she is good at dressing herself up and is very much loved by the head of the family, Zhao Yi.
Lan Cai acted very strong towards Zhao Tianlai, the elder of the family, and often ordered him around, so Zhao Tianlai didn't like her very much.
Hearing Lan Cai's question, Zhao Tianlai curled his lips and complained madly in his heart, "Everyone knows that you, Lan Cai, didn't care about Zhao Kang before,
If it weren't for your youngest son who had an accident and was in a coma, and Zhao Kang had the opportunity to succeed him as the head of the family, would you still care so much about him?
But Zhao Tianlai couldn't say this. Although he had assisted two generations of family heads, the master was the master and the servant was the servant. He didn't dare to overstep the line.
"To answer Madam, there's a reason why Young Master Zhao Kang was detained. He wanted to seize someone else's black market business and forced their subordinates to follow him, which led to all this."
Lan Cai frowned and paced around the yard. Half a minute later, she stopped in front of Zhao Tianlai.
He asked anxiously, "Zhao Tianlai, do you know who the other party is? What is his background? Have you investigated everything?"
Listening to Lan Cai's three questions, Zhao Tianlai shook his head. He didn't have the time to investigate these issues. He was busy reporting the news.
Seeing Zhao Tianlai shaking his head, Lan Cai immediately became furious and started to attack Zhao Tiankai.
Zhao Tianlai was furious. He didn't want to be humiliated by Lan Cai anymore, so he rushed upstairs and knocked on the door of Zhao Yi's study.
"Uncle Tianlai, please come in. What's the matter?" As he said this, he pulled Zhao Tianlai to the chair.
Zhao Yi didn't have much respect for Zhao Tianlai, but he did a good job of pretending. He always knew about his wife Lan Cai's humiliation of Zhao Tianlai, including this time.
"Master, Young Master Zhao Kang was..." Zhao Tianlai patiently recounted Zhao Kang's experience.
Zhao Yi never expected that his eldest son Zhao Kang would do such a stupid thing. He even dared to do black market business at this time. Isn't he afraid of being caught and implicating the family?
God knows how much effort and hard work his Zhao family has put in to have the stable life they have today.
Zhao Yi stood up, picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Zhao Tianlai.
He asked with some doubt, "Uncle Tianlai, you know that I have always been able to explain things in simple terms over the years. Can you tell me why Zhao Kang suddenly wanted to do business in the black market?"
Zhao Tianlai stood up and respectfully took the cup of tea handed to him by Zhao Yi. He didn't expect that the head of the family would personally serve him tea. He was extremely excited and said,
"Master, I suspect that Young Master Zhao Kang is trying to prove to you and Madam that he is stronger and more outstanding than Young Master Zhao Jian."
Zhao Yi seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "You fought with him before? And you lost?"
Zhao Tianlai nodded and said, "Master, the other party is a little girl. She is very beautiful, but very powerful. I am not her equal.
I only know her last name is Huo, and I feel like what I saw wasn't her true appearance."
Zhao Yi grasped the key point of the words. The girl's surname was Huo and she was very beautiful. If his guess was correct, the other party should be the little orphan girl of the Huo family.
Zhao Yi sighed deeply. What would it matter even if he guessed the other party's identity?
If he reported Huo Qiqi for engaging in black market business, Zhao Kang would also be taken away for investigation.
And with Huo Qiqi's connections, she should be released soon. Once Huo Qiqi is released, the Zhao family will be in trouble.
And the most important point is that what Zhao Tianlai saw was not Huo Qiqi's true face. If Huo Qiqi denied it, he might have to take the risk of framing others.
He felt that Huo Qiqi's subordinates in the black market had not seen Huo Qiqi's true appearance. Huo Qiqi was too scary like this.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi slumped down in his chair, exhausted and said, "Uncle Tianlai, go take stock and see how much money we can mobilize?
If it's not enough, use the small yellow croaker to make up 1 million and redeem Zhao Kang. This matter ends here for now, and you should not take any other actions."
Zhao Kang, who was tired of crying, saw Zhao Tian coming back and forth, followed by several people carrying large wooden boxes, and he immediately burst into tears.
Huo Qiqi, Chen Xiaoshan and others were speechless watching Zhao Kang's performance.
You know, Zhao Kang has been crying and complaining that his father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't like him, and he is not liked by the family. His parents will definitely not spend money to save him, and everyone is almost believing that he is a poor little thing.
The facts were shocking. Even Zhao Kang had not expected that the Zhao family would be willing to spend 1 million to save his unpopular eldest son.
He was very clear about how much cash the Zhao family had. If it was 500,000 or 600,000, he believed that the Zhao family could come up with it, but 1 million would definitely be a huge blow to the Zhao family.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kang was really sad and started crying.
Zhao Tianlai looked at Zhao Kang crying bitterly, patted his shoulder tightly, and said in a low voice, "Young Master, let's go back.
There is one more thing I need to tell the eldest young master. The second young master has woken up, and the head of the family has announced that he will be the next heir to the position of head of the family."
Zhao Kang staggered to his feet and then collapsed on the ground again. He felt like God was playing a joke on him, giving him hope and then bringing him despair.
Huo Qiqi looked at the dazed Zhao Kang and felt very emotional. Wouldn't it be better for him to just be the eldest young master of the Zhao family?
Why did he bother himself? Now, the position of heir to the family head had been taken away by someone else.
Zhao Kang still left this sad place, but was carried away by Zhao Tianlai.
"Boss, Captain Xiaoshan, something bad has happened. Many of our sales outlets in the black market have been cleared out."
