Zhao Tianqi returned to his residence somewhat dejectedly. Recalling what his father had told him before, and the letters and numbers that were being drawn on his palm, he suddenly connected the dots.
Previously, Zhao Guohua had told him that if one day he and his wife encountered an accident and were no longer able to take care of Zhao Tianqi, they would be in trouble.
So, in the place where he lives now, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Those were clues about his background, the identity of the real mastermind behind the "Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat" incident.
Zhao Guohua was well aware that these people had been using him, and that they might kick him aside after they were done with him.
So he left behind some evidence and leverage early on, just in case he needed it someday, so he could have a chance to survive.
Unexpectedly, he has now been betrayed by his own son, but he still wants to leave his son a way out.
Therefore, he left this glimmer of hope for himself and for Zhao Tianqi.
Actually, he had approached Zhao Chen before, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip.
But Zhao Chen completely ignored him and didn't give him any face at all.
He had initially thought that Zhao Chen was just acting impulsively, joking, or waiting for him to say it himself in the end.
But he didn't even have a chance to say anything later, because Zhao Chen simply ignored him.
There's no chance of even speaking to him.
So he wanted to save this last chance to speak for his son.
Perhaps it will even have some effect.
Even if it doesn't work, based on his understanding of Zhao Chen, he would at least spare Zhao Tianqi's life.
After all, Zhao Tianqi might still be of some use by then.
As for its purpose, only Zhao Chen knows.
Zhao Guohua won't say it now, because if he did, Zhao Tianqi might die even faster.
We still need to let Zhao Tianqi figure it out and strive for it himself.
It all depends on whether he has the fate to have it.
Looking back on everything, Zhao Guohua couldn't help but feel regret.
After all, his greed back then forced Zhao Chen into such a miserable state, and even took away the last bit of bloodline of the Zhao family.
It almost caused the Zhao family line to end.
It was so close, so very close!
He, Zhao Guohua, could defy fate and live a life of luxury.
Although their lives were already quite good before.
But he was well aware that his family's situation was one of either moving forward or falling behind; if they didn't take things to the extreme, they would ultimately be the ones who died.
His second regret now is that he didn't kill Zhao Chen back then.
It seems he really did something stupid: why did he switch Zhao Chen back?
After bringing them back, they humiliated them so severely.
If we had changed our approach even slightly, we might not be in this predicament today.
However, there's no going back now, and it's too late to say anything.
Now he can only pray that Zhao Tianqi can understand everything he said and that he can seize even the slightest bit of hope.
At this moment, Zhao Tianqi had a sudden flash of inspiration and understood the clues left by Zhao Guohua.
At this moment, he looked at the number and letters left by Zhao Guohua: 15wb.
He quickly searched his house and soon found a wall marked with the number 15.
The wall is also uniquely decorated with various letters engraved on all four sides.
wb is equivalent to a coordinate, and based on the coordinate marked by the letters, Zhao Tianqi quickly found the place.
His heart pounded as he looked at the spot, then gently tapped it.
He remembered that Zhao Guohua had left a set of instructions before, and according to the instructions, he tapped the wall brick a few times.
The spot that had been painted so clean actually had a mechanism that gently protruded.
Zhao Tianqi swallowed again, because he discovered that this wonder was actually made of wood.
He couldn't help but recall that, besides his usual investment and finance business, he had another hobby as a father: woodworking.
Upon seeing this wooden mechanism, Zhao Tianqi immediately knew that Zhao Guohua had buried it here a long time ago.
It's probably just a cover-up; nobody would have guessed it.
After all, this neighborhood isn't particularly old, but it's not new either; the buildings are about ten years old.
At that moment, almost no one noticed any of this.
At this moment, Zhao Tianqi also obtained the information he wanted from this spectacle.
After reading it, he didn't know what to say, and a strong hatred arose in his eyes.
He should have had a wonderful family; his parents and sister shouldn't have doted on him.
After all, he already had such good fortune before.
However, some people want to use their family to engage in a fateful battle with Lao Zhao.
He became an unknown pawn in this game, and by the time he learned everything, everything had changed drastically.
He had no choice, nor the opportunity to control his own destiny.
But he also deeply resented Zhao Guohua and his group.
If it weren't for the care he received, he would still be the eldest son of the Zhao family, their sole heir.
They shouldn't be in such a hurry. Wouldn't it be better to wait until he has control over everything in the Zhao family before coming to him?
Now everything is gone, everything that should have belonged to him is gone!
Of course, he also hated Zhao Chen the most.
This guy is like an unkillable cockroach! Why can't he just accept his fate? Why does he have to struggle so fiercely? If Zhao Chen had listened to him, he would still be living a life of luxury right now!
He wasn't wrong; the wrong ones were these messy schemes and these people with ulterior motives.
Of course, the one who made the biggest mistake was Zhao Chen, who should have been plotted against and killed.
Why not just be a scapegoat?
Now that the scapegoat has survived, Zhao Tianqi has to die!
Of course, he's not dead yet; he needs to make a deal with the Zhao family!
Negotiating with Zhao Chen is probably out of the question, but luckily he still has the old man's contact information.
Also, Zhao Qilong's contact information.
These two pillars of the Zhao family must still harbor resentment about what happened back then, and are probably even more anxious than Zhao Chen himself.
After all, Zhao Chen had never actually experienced these things.
However, those painful experiences were indeed most closely related to Old Master Zhao and Zhao Qilong.
This time, he wants to go directly to the core of the Zhao family to negotiate.
However, he did not take action immediately; he needed to calculate things carefully first.
You need to have a very clear plan.
After thinking about it, he felt that hiring these two wasn't safe enough.
Ultimately, he found the old butler who had once taken good care of him:
"Uncle Meng, it's been a long time. Please don't hang up yet. I have some very important news to tell Grandpa Zhao."
