These old guys have already started working diligently.
Their first target was naturally the so-called leverage and evidence in Zhao Yilong's hands.
Zhao Yilong had previously made a solemn vow that regardless of whether the evidence or incriminating evidence this kid possessed was real or fake, they would seize it first.
What if it's true?
Moreover, they did have people planted around Zhao Yilong.
However, the informant hadn't yet gained Zhao Yilong's absolute trust; he was still just a peripheral figure. But he already knew a few things.
"You all keep a close eye on this; the contents of this safe are extremely important."
"This concerns our future destiny. I will take it out when the time comes. When I become successful, you will definitely benefit from it."
"Hey guys, watch your step and don't be careless."
Hearing Zhao Yilong give a series of earnest instructions to his trusted subordinates, it was clear that the contents of the safe were extremely important.
Based on previous speculations, the moles of the old guys immediately concluded that the safe contained evidence against Zhao Chen.
These messages quickly reached Uncle Seven and the other old guys.
The old guys discussed it amongst themselves and decided to have one of their most capable men figure out how to crack the secret inside the safe.
So, within two days, they took action. They used their most agile and capable men to steal the crucial information from the safe.
But what's inside are just a few ledgers.
This really piqued the curiosity of the old guys.
But upon closer inspection, they couldn't help but slam their fists on the table.
"Good heavens, I was wondering how that kid made money so fast. Turns out he was running this kind of shady business."
"If this gets out, forget about him being a prodigy, he'll be dragged out and beaten ten times over!"
"Haha, this is truly a stroke of luck!"
"I have to say, Zhao Yilong is quite capable."
"He actually managed to find such an important clue."
"We're guaranteed to win this time! This Qilin child won't even have a chance to take off before we're going to suppress him."
The old men were all quite agitated, and at the same time a little angry.
After all, if what's recorded in the ledger is true, then Zhao Chen really wouldn't be spared even if he died ten times over.
But it also had a very negative impact on the Zhao family!
Therefore, this matter must be handled beautifully and secretly, without making a sound!
Zhao Qifeng was naturally very happy at this moment, but he remained cautious:
"Don't get so excited. What if it's fake, a trap?"
"I always felt that everything was going too smoothly."
"Something unusual must be going on!"
Upon hearing Zhao Qifeng's words, the other old men couldn't help but offer some words of advice:
"Seventh Brother, I think you're overthinking it!"
"You call this too smooth?"
"If we ignore Zhao Yilong, these clues might just slip through our fingers."
“Zhao Yilong could use this as leverage to blackmail that Qilinzi.”
"At that time, his status in the Zhao family will instantly rise a lot."
"This Qilinzi is quite extraordinary. He amassed his first fortune through this method, and he will probably use other means to launder his money next."
"He is indeed a smart and capable man. But unfortunately, fate has not cooperated. Such a huge stain remains with us now, and he can't clear his name even if he wants to!"
"The main thing is that we need to send more people to find the guys behind this ledger and bring them to justice in the swiftest possible way!"
"Seventh Brother, don't hesitate now. Being soft-hearted will only hurt you."
"Yes, Seventh Brother, maybe that kid is already cleaning up some loose ends."
"If they clean it up and destroy the evidence, then even if we get these ledgers, they'll be useless to us."
Hearing what his old comrades said, Zhao Qifeng knew that there was no time to lose. So he quickly sent someone to give instructions on these matters.
Now that we've found the crux of the problem, it would be best to deliver a fatal blow to Zhao Chen.
Especially for cases with incriminating evidence, it's best to use legitimate means and let the police investigate directly; they'll definitely catch the culprit every time!
Moreover, these ledgers are the best clues.
Even though it was late at night, things were quickly arranged.
These old guys already have considerable influence in various places, so the tasks they assign are naturally carried out quickly.
Moreover, it also has a certain degree of confidentiality.
That's why they all felt very confident.
Because the people on the main branch haven't made any move at all, and two days later is the time for Zhao Chen to meet with these old guys.
At that time, they thought, that would be the day Zhao Chen was arrested and brought to justice!
Zhao Qifeng, in particular, was eagerly anticipating seeing his older brother's ashen face.
He had fought his whole life but never won. This time, he managed to make Zhao Qiye suffer a major setback in the matter of his children and grandchildren. Zhao Qifeng felt that he had finally won.
He was already getting a little impatient.
However, the cultivation of inner strength he has accumulated over the years has made him much more composed.
He had to supervise everything and get it done as soon as possible, ideally producing the most direct results within that timeframe!
With no reaction from the main branch of the family, Zhao Qifeng felt that victory was within his grasp.
However, he had no idea that at that very moment, on the other side of the capital, in a secluded corner, the little fox sent a message to Zhao Chen:
"Honey, those guys have taken the bait completely."
"Moreover, it's something they pushed forward themselves, so hopefully they won't end up crying too much."
"You're really ruthless; you're making them dig their own graves..."
On the other side, after receiving the little fox's message, Zhao Chen simply smiled calmly:
"This is what they call 'you reap what you sow'!"
"If they had been well and lived peacefully, they might have had a good end."
"But if they insist on courting death, then they shouldn't blame us for being ruthless."
"Just keep things moving forward. I have faith in your abilities..."
The little fox chuckled: "Hehe, these old fogies, they still think the world belongs to them."
"In fact, times have changed long ago, and the Qing Dynasty has long since fallen, but they still cling to their old, conservative ideas and refuse to change."
"They deserve to die! Don't worry, I'll make their deaths look terrible."
"I'm going to get some work done. I should be able to relax for a while after this is over, so you'd better reward me!"
"Say hello to Qingyue while I'm at it, and tell her I miss her and I'll bring her something fun later."
Upon hearing the little fox's words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but rub his temples and smile, though he was a little uneasy inside.
He used to worry that his childhood friend, with whom he grew up in the orphanage, might not get along with Shen Qingyue, and that they might end up in a messy situation.
As it turned out, his worries were completely unnecessary.
These two girls, who grew up in very different extreme environments, surprisingly had a lot in common and got along well.
Moreover, it seems that Shen Qingyue has been somewhat corrupted by the little fox...
