Third Master Zhao of the Zhao family, as the prodigy of the previous generation, suffered hardships and became disabled at home, but he was still able to strategize and was a well-known figure in the capital.
Back then, the three prodigies of the Zhao family were all exceptionally talented, and they made a name for themselves in the army.
However, his good fortune was short-lived, perhaps due to the jealousy of heaven.
The story of the three brothers meeting with misfortune in the army caused a great uproar in the capital at the time.
There's a conspiracy theory going on, that is, even now, the Zhao family themselves haven't fully investigated what exactly happened back then.
All everyone knows is that there was a problem with the intelligence when the three brothers went on a mission together.
The three chose to sacrifice themselves to cover the retreat of the main force.
Of course, the final, tragic price was the sacrifice of Zhao Qilong's two elder brothers, and Zhao Qilong himself became a cripple, suffering from hemiplegia.
When he first experienced this setback, Zhao Qilong was also depressed and even thought about suicide.
However, later, Old Master Zhao said something that directly dispelled Zhao Qilong's idea.
After all, Old Master Zhao knew better than anyone the pain of losing a son.
Now there's only this one son left. If even this son is gone, who will support the Zhao family in the future?
Didn't Zhao Qilong ever think about this?
At that time, Zhao Qilong was immersed in grief. He hated himself for not being strong enough to save his two older brothers.
In the end, he was the only one left alive, and he felt sorry for his father and his two deceased brothers.
But if I were to die like this, it would be even less meaningful.
It can even cause pain to loved ones and joy to enemies.
Back then, countless people were eyeing the Zhao family, hoping they would die out and never have a chance to rise again.
Fortunately, Zhao Qilong eventually recovered in another sense. He regained his confidence and resumed his home-building business.
Through strategic planning, the Zhao family developed rapidly in all aspects and firmly established itself as a top-tier family in the capital.
Old Master Zhao made steady progress and rose to a higher position, gaining even greater influence at the top.
Zhao Qilong felt that someone was driving all of this from the shadows, but he didn't know who was in control.
But no matter what, he has become a cripple.
He'd gotten used to it over the years, and he even thought that this was how his life would be.
Previously, when he faced Zhao Tianqi, the sole heir of the Zhao family, he was also filled with disappointment.
The Zhao family is full of outstanding individuals; their offspring are all exceptional. How could such a good-for-nothing have emerged from them?
Let's not even talk about spoiled brats; they're ignorant, incompetent, and can't endure any hardship.
Moreover, the Zhao family's special bloodline was not passed down.
However, he could understand, since it was the son born to Zhao Lixuan's younger sister, and he might not be able to inherit the characteristics of this special bloodline.
Therefore, Zhao Qilong felt disheartened, especially since Feng Junhua and Zhao Lixuan had no chance to have another child.
In this way, all the Zhao family's hopes could only be pinned on this spoiled brat.
At that time, Zhao Qilong even wondered if Heaven was not protecting his Zhao family.
It turned out that it was all a conspiracy, all a trick!
Fortunately, their true prodigy has returned, and Zhao Chen was very satisfied with his return.
After all, Zhao Chen had already built his own career before receiving support from the Zhao family.
This is extremely rare; they are far more outstanding than the powerful second and third generations in Beijing.
Even with family support and various resources, those people couldn't achieve what Zhao Chen did.
This already speaks volumes; the prodigy of the Zhao family is indeed far superior to others.
After Zhao Chen arrived, Zhao Qilong felt that his life had gained meaning.
After all, he had never seen any hope in Zhao Tianqi before.
But now hope is right in front of us, how wonderful that is.
But he never expected that his adopted nephew not only had extraordinary abilities, but also possessed formidable medical skills.
Without anyone noticing, they cured his crippled legs.
This was utterly unbelievable and completely beyond his imagination.
Today, after a series of rehabilitation exercises and medication, Zhao Qilong finally managed to get off his crutches and stand up on his own.
He regained feeling in his legs and stood up like a man again. Even after going through so many trials and tribulations, Zhao Qilong couldn't help but burst into tears.
At this moment, he released all the pain and sorrow that he had suppressed for many years.
Old Master Zhao, watching from the side, couldn't help but touch the corner of his eye:
"Alright, Qilong, it's all in the past now. From now on, it's a new beginning for us."
"Now you are fully recovered and can do more of what you want to do."
"Also, this matter won't end so easily. We will definitely find out who the real mastermind is."
"I have to say, Ah Chen's return is truly a blessing for us."
"It's all because of him that our Zhao family has become better and better. You've also recovered, so I have no regrets."
Upon hearing what Old Master Zhao said, Zhao Qilong, who was standing next to him, was immediately startled:
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. I'm hoping you'll live to be a hundred."
"We will definitely see the Zhao family achieve new glory!"
"Now that Achen is supporting us, our Zhao family has a better future. I will also get better and better. I will do my best to help Achen become a true dragon!"
Grandpa Zhao couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, you don't need to think too much about it, I'm just expressing my feelings."
“Now that you young people have all stood up, what do I have to worry about?”
"Although we have experienced hardships in the past, we are now more cohesive and have stronger fighting capabilities."
"All of this is something that other aristocratic families cannot match."
"Junhua, Achen, you are both very good. You were the ones who turned the tide during our most difficult times."
"I believe the Zhao family will shine even brighter in your hands in the future."
"Alright, today is a good day, we must celebrate properly, and let the whole capital know that my precious son, Ah Long, is back! He's really back!"
Upon hearing what Grandpa Zhao said, everyone present couldn't help but exchange smiles.
After all, although Zhao Qilong had done a lot of things in the past, no one took him seriously.
Things are different now. He has recovered his health, and everything from the past can be regained.
If Zhao Sanye could possess such formidable abilities even when he was a cripple, imagine how much more powerful he is now that everything has improved. This will undoubtedly cause a huge stir in the capital.
In fact, Zhao Chen cured Zhao Sanye in order to have a more capable assistant!
