Zhao Kang frowned and looked over, only to find that the person speaking was actually a young man.
Zhao Kang suddenly became alert, ready to run away at any time, and shouted angrily, "Who are you? Do I know you? Why are you playing such a joke on me?"
"My last name is Li Mingjun, you can call me Li Shao. I won't tell you our origins for now unless we can really cooperate.
"I can tell you one thing: if you cooperate with us, we can help you seize the position of head of the family, and even get rid of the person you hate the most." The young man said confidently, playing with the jade pendant in his hand.
Zhao Kang roared, "I'm sorry, I don't cooperate with people who hide their heads and show their tails. Goodbye," and turned to leave.
Before the young man could even begin to speak, an old voice spoke up, "You are so brave, young man! How dare you not give the young master face?"
Zhao Kang frowned. It seemed that he couldn't escape today. At least he would be beaten up.
"Zhao Kang, the eldest son of the Zhao family, is not liked by his parents and is now an abandoned child of the family. Because you provoked the black market tycoon Boss Huo, you were detained and the family was forced to pay 1 million in compensation. Am I right?" Li Jun took the information handed over by the housekeeper and said coldly.
"Mr. Li, investigating these things doesn't show how good you are. As far as I know, there are at least 800 people in Beijing who have the ability to investigate me." Zhao Kang said sarcastically in a bad tone.
"Mr. Zhao, if you cooperate with us, we will not only let you take the position of the head of the Zhao family, but also help you get rid of Huo Qiqi. Can such conditions impress you?" Li Jun said seriously.
Zhao Kang strode forward, punched the wall beside the road, and said with disdain, "Although I, Zhao Kang, am not very knowledgeable, I am arrogant.
But I would never join forces with others to bully a girl. I will avenge myself.
"Young Master Li, we have nothing in common. You'd better let me go, otherwise my Zhao family will not let you go."
Li Jun laughed heartily. "That's hilarious! I never thought you, Zhao Kang, would be so compassionate to women. Don't you want to get back the 1 million ransom?"
"I really don't know what's going on. Butler Zhao, if you don't come out and just watch the show, my hope is that our cooperation will be a thing of the past," Zhao Kang said towards the entrance of the alley.
The next second, Zhao Tianlai rushed in front of Zhao Kang with a long knife in his hand, "Master, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."
Zhao Kang thought to himself, if the situation wasn't critical now, I really want to expose your lies. Don't you have any idea how I was captured by Boss Huo before?
"I feel at ease with you, Butler Zhao. This time, I'd like to trouble Butler Zhao to help me escape this disaster." Zhao Kang said very seriously. He had no choice now but to choose to believe that Zhao Tian had come.
Apparently, Zhao Tianlai wasn't so easy to fool. "Young Master, if I want you to, it's not impossible. Do you agree to cooperate with me?"
Zhao Kang originally planned to drive the wolf away and devour the tiger, but now it seems that he has to make a choice.
"Butler Zhao, if I cooperate with you, are you sure you won't frame me like that guy did?" Zhao Kang asked very seriously.
Zhao Kang was once bitten by a snake and became afraid of ropes for ten years. He was already afraid of being framed by his own brother and biological mother, so he had to be cautious.
Zhao Tianlai nodded. For him, compromising with Zhao Kang was a temporary measure. Zhao Kang had no power or influence in the Zhao family and no foundation.
When Zhao Kang becomes the head of the family, he will still have to rely on himself. If he doesn't let himself be manipulated by him at that time, he will be better than the head of the family.
When Zhao Tianlai was eagerly expecting Zhao Kang to agree, Li Jun interrupted at an inopportune moment, "Young Master Zhao, remember what I said. If you try to get the skin of a tiger, the end result will definitely not be what you want."
Zhao Tianlai was so angry that Li Jun laughed. He said angrily, "Little Li, I don't know where you come from, but you'd better not get involved in what happened today, otherwise your life or death will be in jeopardy."
The old man beside Li Jun took off his bamboo hat and said to Zhao Tianlai with a cold smile, "Junior Brother Zhao, it's been 10 years since we last met. I didn't expect you to be so courageous today."
Zhao Tianlai looked at the old man's face and took three steps back in fear. "Zhang, Senior Brother Zhang Lai, didn't you die 10 years ago?"
Zhang Lai snorted coldly at Zhao Tianlai, "Zhao Tianlai, you are an ungrateful villain.
If I hadn't persuaded the master to accept you as his disciple, how could you have learned all these skills and still be alive today?
I never thought that 10 years ago you would disregard our master-disciple relationship and plot against me for the sake of Zhao Yi.
God has taken pity on me and allowed me to live until now to seek revenge on you. Today it’s either you die or I live.”
Li Jun looked at Zhang Lai in surprise. He didn't expect Zhang Lai to be able to say so many words in one breath.
Zhao Tianzi knew that he was no match for Zhang Lai, so he decided to strike first. He pushed hard with his feet, tightly grasped the long knife and slashed towards Zhang Lai.
Zhang Lai narrowed his eyes, took a step back, and took out a wooden gun from his arms.
Zhao Tianlai looked at the dark wooden entrance and asked in surprise, "Zhang Lai, who are you now? Why do you have this kind of thing in your hands?"
Zhang Lai didn't say anything and pulled the trigger at Zhao Tianlai. With a bang, Zhao Tianlai was hit in the chest by a wooden gun and fell to the ground instantly. The gushing blood sprayed onto the ground.
Zhang Lai slowly walked up to Zhao Tianlai and said condescendingly, "You stabbed me in the chest that year, and you didn't finish me off. Today, I'll give you a wooden cannon. Whether you live or die depends on your fate."
Li Jun watched Zhang Lai's actions throughout the whole process without any intention of stopping him.
Zhao Kang looked at Zhao Tianlai lying in a pool of blood, and was deeply shocked.
He didn't expect that Li Jun's bodyguard actually had a wooden cannon in his hand and dared to use it in the daytime. This was beyond his understanding.
"Zhao Kang, there is only one way before you now, either cooperate with us, or fall in a pool of blood like Zhao Tianlai." Li Jun's words made Zhao Kang feel cold all over.
"Li Jun, why do you want to cooperate with me? The most powerful person in the Zhao family is Zhao Jian, he is the heir to the family head."
Zhang Lai, who had avenged his great hatred, was feeling happy when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. A strong electric current instantly filled his whole body. The next second, Zhang Lai fell straight into the rain.
Zhang Lai was stunned by the sudden change, as was the arrogant Li Jun and the desperate Zhao Kang.
"It's so lively. I think he has other options."
