Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Guohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His biggest fear was that Zhao Chen would lose interest, leaving him with absolutely no bargaining power.
However, he still wanted to test the waters a bit.
"Young Master Zhao, now that you've attacked us, we're ashamed to even lift our heads."
"We've suffered a major blow. We're still father and son, after all. Let's put aside our differences and look after each other's reputation."
"If you spare me and stop your previous attacks, then I can tell you what happened back then."
Upon hearing Zhao Guohua's words, Zhao Chen simply sneered:
"You have no bargaining power with me. Either talk it out or wait to be wiped out."
"I will leave you with nothing, truly nothing! Nothing—no money, no status, no people, nothing."
Hearing Zhao Chen say that, Zhao Guohua was a little dumbfounded.
This is completely unconventional; Zhao Chen's attitude is far too forceful.
Is he really not afraid of burying all his secrets in his heart and taking them to the dust?
At this moment, Zhao Guohua also went all out: "Young Master Zhao, I believe that these secrets are also very important to you."
"Moreover, the Zhao family doesn't know some of the truth from back then. If you don't agree to my terms, you may never know these truths."
"You don't even know who your enemies are."
"Don't you want to avenge the previous Qi Mingzis?"
"The Zhao family almost lost its family line. That's such a huge blow, can you just turn a blind eye to it?"
Upon hearing Zhao Guohua's words, Zhao Chen replied, "Zhao Guohua, don't take yourself too seriously. What I want to know is that we'll find out sooner or later."
"In fact, I've already found out a bit. Our enemy's headquarters aren't in the country, are they?"
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Guohua's eyes narrowed. It was only because it was over the phone that Mo Ran didn't notice, otherwise he would have immediately realized that what he said was correct.
Even without seeing Zhao Guohua's expression, he could still tell.
Zhao Guohua was speechless for a moment and fell silent.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but reveal a victorious smile. In fact, with just this little clue, Zhao Chen was able to find more crucial information.
Grandpa Zhao didn't say more about what happened back then, probably because he was afraid that Zhao Chen's foundation was not yet stable and that it might have some negative impact.
At the very least, it will distract him, leaving him with no time or energy to manage his increasingly powerful business.
In the end, it might be counterproductive.
Now, everything Zhao Chen owns is everything the Zhao family owns.
They spared no effort in cultivating this future successor.
The main reason is that within this year, Zhao Chen has used his own methods to build several important bridgeheads in the major Internet fields.
All that remains is to reap the rewards of victory, and Zhao Chen has even more plans in store. These are things the Zhao family values most.
Because the empire Zhao Chen built before belonged entirely to him, and its relationship with the Zhao family was not actually that significant.
Of course, the cooperation and support from the Zhao family will make these leading enterprises stronger and stronger.
The plan to start after dinner would naturally involve the Zhao family.
It will allow the Zhao family to infiltrate.
This was a plan that Zhao Chen had already discussed with his grandfather and parents.
As a result, the current performance naturally followed.
However, Zhao Chen could not ignore the pain that the Zhao family had experienced.
Therefore, now, when Zhao Guohua talks about this matter, Zhao Chen will take it seriously even if he is angry.
But if the other party thinks they can use this to control him, they are really mistaken.
Moreover, that guy clearly didn't know that this retaliatory attack wasn't Zhao Chen's doing at all.
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Guohua finally realized what was happening:
"Are you reading my words?"
Zhao Chen laughed and said, "Don't worry, Zhao Guohua, I already know the answer."
"So your information is really not important to me, but would you be willing to provide more information and tell me who exactly attacked you this time?"
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Guohua was a little confused:
"What? Isn't this time you trying to suppress us?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Apart from you, my enemy, I don't have any other person with this kind of power!"
Hearing Zhao Guohua say this, Na couldn't help but laugh again:
"I can give you a hint: the more fatal blow you've suffered this time isn't because of me, but because of your good son."
"Go back and ask what Zhao Tianqi did to your former precious adopted son."
"Oh right, Zhao Ziyun should be called Chu Ziyun now."
"He's the young master of the Chu family now, not the sickly brat you used to bully."
Hearing Zhao Chen say this, Zhao Guohua became nervous again.
After all, this answer was far beyond what he had originally thought.
But to his utter surprise, the retaliation he suffered was not actually caused by Zhao Chen.
It was still that adopted son he once doted on...
So now, Zhao Guohua wasn't surprised that the other side would retaliate in this way.
Because in the days that followed, they really didn't treat Chu Ziyun very well.
However, since that's how he was treated before, Chu Ziyun shouldn't have any problems.
The problem is that they used to dote on Chu Ziyun quite a bit, but everything changed when Zhao Tianqi came back.
It's no wonder the other party harbored some resentment.
That's why Zhao Guohua couldn't sit still any longer.
He wanted to ask more questions, but Zhao Chen had already hung up the phone.
Zhao Guohua tried to call back, but found that he couldn't get through no matter what he tried.
He knew it was Zhao Chen who had used special technology to cut off their communication.
It's probably impossible to get any more information from them now.
But now Zhao Guohua is showing even greater concern.
Because the Chu family's retaliation alone is already enough to make him lose face, if Zhao Chen takes advantage of his misfortune, will they have any chance of survival?
Zhao Guohua did not know the answer to this question.
But what he knows now is that if he doesn't do something soon, what little he has left will also turn to ashes.
His meager wealth wouldn't even be enough to fill the teeth of these powerful families.
In the end, he would still die, so under these circumstances, Zhao Guohua immediately made another judgment.
He needs to make some new preparations.
Unbeknownst to everyone, this was all a scheme orchestrated by Zhao Chen long ago, just waiting for Zhao Guohua to fall into it.
