Lan Cai looked at the thin young man in front of her with tears in her eyes, "Zhao Jian, you have suffered a lot during this period. It's a good thing you woke up, otherwise the entire Zhao family would have been ruined by your useless brother."
Zhao Jian looked up at the ceiling in the ward and said in a bad tone, "I arranged what happened to Zhao Ergou. I deliberately let him get close to my eldest brother Zhao Kang, so that he would lose his ambition and completely lose the chance to be the heir to the family head.
But I didn't expect that the idiot Zhao Ergou would act on his own initiative and instigate the eldest brother to rob other people's black market business. The eldest brother is also brainless. Doesn't he think that people who can do business in the black market are simple people?
What's infuriating is that they didn't bother to properly investigate the man's background before rashly knocking on his door. As a result, they ended up losing more than they gained. This idiot Zhao Kang was actually detained and had to pay 1 million in compensation."
Zhao Kang didn't say anything more, that 1 million should all be his.
Lan Cai frowned, and a chill ran down her spine for a moment. She had not expected that Zhao Ergou, this troublemaker, was actually a pawn of her second son.
Although the whole thing was full of variables, the final result was good. Zhao Jian became the heir to the head of the family, and Zhao Kang was marginalized.
"Zhao Jian, our family has lost 1 million this time. What should we do next?" Lan Cai said unwillingly.
"Hmph! I'm not that idiot Zhao Kang. No matter who you are, you have to spit out the 1 million you swallowed." A hint of viciousness appeared on Zhao Jian's pale face.
Boom, boom, boom
A rapid knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Zhao Jian looked at Zhao Tianlai who pushed the door open with doubt, and said in a bad tone, "Zhao Tianlai, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Tianlai frowned. He now realized that in the entire Zhao family, only Zhao Kang showed him a little respect. The others really treated him as a servant.
Zhao Tianlai also lost his temper and said coldly, "Zhao Ergou has been captured. He's breathing more than he's breathing out. It's hard to say whether he can make it through this."
The entire Zhao family, including Zhao Tianlai, knew that Zhao Ergou was Zhao Jian's man.
When Zhao Jian heard the news, his head buzzed and he sat up from the bed.
Lan Cai looked at Zhao Jian in confusion, then at Zhao Tianlai, but Zhao Tianlai pretended not to see her look.
Lan Cai felt so embarrassed, so she angrily said to Zhao Tian, "You damn slave, stop relying on me. If you don't want to stay in my Zhao family, get out of here!"
Zhao Tianlai knew that it was his neglect that made Lan Cai so angry.
It is said that old people become more cunning, and the same is true for Zhao Tianlai. He knows that he cannot leave the Zhao family at this time. After all, he is old, and it is very difficult for him to live alone without children.
Since Lan Cai and Zhao Jian, mother and son, have humiliated him in this way, he might as well choose a master who he can control, and that person is Zhao Kang.
Zhao Tianlai lowered his head and patiently explained, "Madam, Zhao Ergou is the Second Young Master's pawn. This morning I went to check on Zhao Ergou as usual.
I found that his place was surrounded by people. After asking around, I learned that he was taken away by Little Red Riding Hood last night. When he was taken away, his body was covered with wounds. It was said that he was beaten by his brothers. He was already in there more than he could get out.
After hearing Zhao Tianlai's detailed account, Zhao Jian grasped the crux of the matter. "Zhao Tianlai, why did Little Red Riding Hood take Zhao Ergou away, and why was Zhao Ergou beaten by his own little brother?"
Hearing Zhao Jian's question, Zhao Tianlai was stunned for a moment, then he understood how to answer.
"Second Young Master, why was Zhao Ergou captured by Little Red Riding Hood? I guess he must have committed a crime. As a gang leader who has been roaming around the underworld for many years, he must have had a lot of crimes on his hands.
He was beaten by his younger brothers because he was unwilling to pay Boss Huo to release his detained younger brothers. After they were released, they gave their former boss a good beating.
I have to say that Zhao Tianlai is worthy of being an old man in the world, and his analysis is pretty accurate.
Zhao Jian nodded and impatiently sent Zhao Tianlai away. He wanted to think carefully about what to do next.
Who exactly was the Boss Huo that Zhao Tianlai was referring to? How many powerful people in Beijing were named Huo? He couldn't decide who was his match.
It was also his fault that he had sent Zhao Tianlai away so early. If he called him back now, wouldn't it make him seem too incompetent and too embarrassed?
Huo Qiqi looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, feeling that a storm was about to come. She guessed that the Zhao family's affairs were not over yet.
Huo Qiqi had no idea which family the young master mentioned in Zhao Ergou's letter was from, but she decided to start her investigation from the Zhao family.
She had a feeling that Zhao Ergou had ulterior motives in joining Zhao Kang.
However, before investigating the Zhao family, Huo Qiqi decided to take care of her own affairs first.
Based on the tracking mark on Chen Xiaoshan's body, Huo Qiqi quickly found the yard where Chen Xiaoshan was.
At this time, Chen Xiaoshan and others were discussing things in the new base. Huo Qiqi checked the surrounding environment of the new base. This base was well connected and had a wide view. If something happened, it would be convenient for everyone to evacuate quickly. Huo Qiqi nodded with satisfaction. The location was well chosen.
When they saw Huo Qiqi appear, several team leaders behaved normally, but Chen Xiaoshan was the only one who was in turmoil.
Chen Xiaoshan originally thought that Huo Qiqi's statement about being able to track him was a threat to him, but he didn't expect Huo Qiqi to actually be able to do it.
