Upon hearing the information from his subordinates, Zhao Chen raised an eyebrow and immediately picked up the intelligence report to read it.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the information above.
Zhao Guohua and Bai Yuxiu, a married couple, were arrested for their previous illegal business operations.
They are currently under quarantine and investigation. Some merchants who had cooperated with them in the past, as well as relevant officials, have been greatly affected.
They were all too busy taking care of themselves.
Therefore, Zhao Guohua had no target for help.
The Chu family is truly ruthless. They dealt a heavy blow to the Zhao family, first from a business perspective and then from a financial standpoint.
Following that, everyone who had ever been friends with the Zhao family was investigated and punished.
It is clear that some of the key figures Zhao Guohua cooperated with back then are now in dire straits.
No one was willing to step forward and mediate the matter for them.
After all, everyone in the upper class had heard that their youngest son, whom they had just brought home for the summer vacation, had been killed abroad.
The instigators were Zhao Guohua and his family.
Anyone who dares to stop the Chu family from taking revenge will become their mortal enemy.
The Chu family is now a very powerful force with immense influence, and with their frequent cooperation with the Zhao family, they are becoming increasingly powerful.
Therefore, they still have a lot of influence outside the home.
Although the Chu family's roots are in the capital, they still have considerable influence in Shanghai.
After all, everyone knows very well that the capital is the core of power.
In addition, the Chu family has made many attempts in recent years in order to develop in an all-round way, and has its own people in Shanghai and even in the south.
Its influence naturally grew stronger day by day.
As a result, Zhao Guohua's family was truly struck by bad luck.
Not only is the money gone, but now the person has been arrested.
Even their residence was raided.
Zhao Tianqi, once a prodigy, is now almost homeless. Fortunately, he still owns a house in his name, which has nothing to do with the Zhao family.
Moreover, current laws do not apply to children; children are not necessarily obligated to repay their parents' debts, as debts are considered settled upon death.
Therefore, Zhao Tianqi's pocket money and the house he owned provided him with the means to survive for the time being.
But compared to the past, the life of luxury and ease.
Is this what life is like now?
That can only be called living.
Zhao Tianqi felt like he was about to become the male protagonist in Yu Hua's novels.
None of them died a good death...
Moreover, what Zhao Tianqi feared most was the possibility of further retaliation from the Chu family.
Because the Chu family has already concluded that he is the culprit who killed Chu Ziyun!
Zhao Tianqi now truly regrets it; he shouldn't have killed Chu Ziyun for such a selfish thought.
If not for making this wrong decision, Zhao Guohua's family wouldn't be in such a broken state now.
Zhao Tianqi secretly visited Zhao Guohua.
This was actually a favor that the Chu family had done specifically for him.
The Chu family had no intention of letting him off the hook; they just wanted to show him that Zhao Guohua's current miserable state was all because of him.
Zhao Tianqi's current downfall is entirely his own doing!
This will subject the boy to even greater pressure and blows, both mentally and physically.
Make him unable to stand it, even drive him crazy!
Sometimes, the most severe punishment for a person is not killing them, but torturing them in various ways.
The Chu family succeeded; they made Zhao Tianqi experience the pain of losing everything that was most important to him.
They could find out about Zhao Tianqi's character from various aspects.
After all, Zhao Tianqi had always been protected when he was with the Zhao family, and everyone knew very well what kind of person he was.
How could such a good-for-nothing live so well if he weren't living in Old Zhao's house?
After being switched back, Zhao Guohua's family actually treated him very well.
From beginning to end, Zhao Tianqi didn't actually experience any hardship.
The only hardship was when Zhao Lixuan took him and they were kicked out of the house.
But in fact, Zhao Lixuan still had a lot of money at that time, and she did not mistreat her son.
However, Zhao Tianqi got scared and abandoned his most important adoptive mother.
As everyone knows, in the end, Zhao Lixuan had a change of heart and parted ways with this ungrateful wretch.
Then comes the rest of the work.
Now, Zhao Tianqi is finding it extremely difficult to see his parents even once:
"Child, don't be sad for us. Take good care of yourself and protect yourself."
"Remember what Dad told you before, you must remember it, that's the only way to save your life!"
Upon finally seeing his father, Zhao Tianqi burst into tears. He regretted his recklessness, which had ruined everything and caused the deaths of his parents.
He knew that Zhao Guohua and Bai Yuxiu would probably never come back.
Those people up there won't allow me to know about these two.
But just as he was crying, he felt Zhao Guohua writing a few letters and numbers in his palm.
Under their secret control, no one else knew what message Zhao Guohua was passing to his son.
For once, Zhao Tianqi was surprisingly clever. He realized that Zhao Guohua was sending him a distress signal, and that there might be a way to get them out.
However, he must remember everything Zhao Guohua wrote to him.
After writing it repeatedly, although it didn't manifest, Zhao Tianqi still remembered it, and he gripped Zhao Guohua's hand tightly:
"Dad, don't worry, I have completely remembered everything you told me."
"I will definitely do as you instructed when I get back, don't worry!"
"I will definitely behave myself from now on and won't cause trouble like before."
"Don't worry, I will do everything I can to get you out of here!"
The two met in a visiting room. For some reason, the Chu family allowed them to meet and shake hands in such an environment.
However, all the guards around him were watching him closely, and Zhao Guohua had not carried anything on him that could be used to transmit messages.
Similarly, Zhao Tianqi was also thoroughly searched before being allowed in.
But they never expected that Zhao Guohua could use this method to give instructions to his son.
Finally, Zhao Guohua comforted Zhao Tianqi again. Zhao Tianqi later met with his mother, and although the two hugged and cried, they had to part ways in the end.
This meeting marked the end of the ordeal. After being released from prison, Zhao Tianqi found the sunlight outside a bit too bright.
However, a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes, and he walked resolutely toward his only place to stay!
