"What are you standing there for? Get back to the documents!"
"Didn't you hear what your brother said?"
"And you, as the mother, need to do your job and prepare everything!"
At this moment, Zhao Guohua pretended to lecture his wife and daughter.
His other three daughters all looked at Zhao Chen with complicated expressions.
Especially after hearing Zhao Chen's furious roar, they all recalled their previous actions and began to reflect on their behavior. It seemed that they had indeed gone too far.
They had never thought about this younger brother before.
Not only that, they also did many terrible things to Zhao Chen.
Now that Zhao Chen has erupted, their retribution has come. However, none of them ever imagined that Zhao Chen's outburst would be so fierce.
After all, Zhao Chen used to always act timid and obsequious, deliberately trying to please them.
I cater to their every whim, just to gain their approval.
In the end, however, they trampled Zhao Chen's self-esteem and feelings into the ground.
If that's the case, then why become a family?
Finally, the older sisters couldn't help but sigh and quickly did as Zhao Chen asked.
When Zhao Guohua was scolding them, he was actually giving his wife a meaningful look.
The meaning is simple: he was implying to his wife to bring over all the bodyguards in the vicinity.
The reason Zhao Chen dares to be so arrogant now is because he has a hostage in his hands.
Zhao Chen was really patient before.
Zhao Guohua never expected that the previously timid Zhao Chen would have such strength.
He used to think that his son looked fat, but was actually just bloated and not strong at all.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
In the past, Zhao Yunlan could teach Zhao Chen a lesson, but now it seems that it was only because Zhao Chen was giving in to his older sister and didn't argue with her, that he took all the beatings.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Zhao Yunlan used to beat up Zhao Chen every few days. Sometimes, his old wounds hadn't even healed before new ones appeared.
Even though Zhao Chen is fat, his resilience is something that most people don't possess.
As a result, Zhao Guohua's impression of Zhao Chen dropped even further.
My son is very cunning and calculating. Why did he hide it so well before?
Is it so that he can inherit the Zhao family's estate if his whole family dies?
That's right, that's definitely what Zhao Chen was thinking! He's truly wicked!
Is this still Zhao family's son?
Thinking of this, Zhao Guohua couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
This matter won't be so easily resolved.
When the bodyguards arrive, they will be able to subdue Zhao Chen immediately.
Then we'll see how arrogant this brat can be!
Bai Yuxiu and Zhao Guohua have been married for decades and have a very good understanding of each other.
She knew what her husband meant just from a wink.
So she nodded cooperatively, no longer holding a grudge about the slap her husband had given her. She knew it was all an act for Zhao Chen's benefit.
It looked like a fierce fight, but Zhao Guohua actually held back at the end.
So the mother and her three daughters quickly left to prepare what Zhao Chen wanted.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guohua was trying to soothe Zhao Chen's emotions with kind words.
His idea was simple: first, appease the kid, and ideally, get him to release Zhao Ziyun and the others on his own.
Once the person is rescued, Zhao Chen will be at their mercy.
However, Zhao Chen was all too familiar with Zhao Guohua's ideas and methods.
In the original melodramatic storyline, Zhao Chen did put up a fight.
But in the end, they were all completely controlled by Zhao Guohua using this method of first appeasing and then suppressing.
After that, Zhao Chen never rose to prominence again.
Seeing Zhao Guohua resort to the same old trick, Zhao Chen coldly said:
“Mr. Zhao, I advise you not to put up a futile resistance.”
"No. 129 Chengnan Avenue, Room 803".
"If anything were to happen to me here today, the secret inside would be exposed!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guohua's pupils contracted instantly, and he stared at Zhao Chen with a face full of shock.
Seeing the change in his expression, Zhao Chen smiled faintly and continued:
"Now, have all your bodyguards withdraw."
"Didn't you say that I used to hang out with all sorts of shady, disreputable people from the orphanage and had gone astray long ago?"
"Hehe, you're absolutely right!"
"These are the guys who are working for me now!"
"If I can't get out of the Zhao family's house safely today, your secret will be known to the whole internet tomorrow."
"Of course, you have more than just this one secret. You've done so many shady things in the past."
"At that time, one by one, all the incidents will be exposed!"
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Guohua's pupils dilated sharply, and then his face turned fierce:
"You unfilial son!"
"What exactly do you want? Are you trying to destroy the entire Zhao family?"
"Let me tell you, even if I die, even if everyone here dies, I will not let you succeed!"
Zhao Chen looked at him and laughed even more maniacally:
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhao, do you know what you look like right now?"
"A cornered dog will jump over the wall!"
"It's too late to panic now!"
"But don't worry, I'm a very trustworthy person when it comes to business."
"As long as you follow my instructions, you can continue to be the head of your Zhao family."
"He's still the same glamorous Mr. Zhao. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other!"
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Guohua gasped for breath, his heart pounding.
His mind was racing.
How can we break this deadlock?
Zhao Chen is indeed exceptionally ruthless.
The address he just mentioned is related to a very important secret of his.
Now that Zhao Chen knows about this place, he must have already had his various shady friends lying in ambush nearby.
If the other party finds out more about what happened, or finds more evidence.
Even if he manages to get through it, he will have to pay a heavy price.
Why should I believe you?
Zhao Guohua asked a question with a pounding heart.
But in fact, the moment he asked that question, he had already found himself in a passive position.
Zhao Chen revealed a confident smile:
"You can only trust me, because you can't afford to gamble."
"Stop with the pretty words. What about saying you'd rather die than let the Zhao family fall?"
"Are you willing to die? You selfish, self-righteous, and egocentric guy."
Even if the Zhao family falls, you wouldn't be willing to die.
Even if all your family members died, you wouldn't want to die!
"Don't give me those lofty and noble words."
"We're all old foxes, why are you playing these ghost stories with me?"
"You think you're distilled water, that you can pretend to be innocent?"
Actually, your heart is blacker than anyone else's!
"If you want to live, obey me obediently, or you will lose everything!"
"I just want to get rid of you scum as soon as possible and live my own life. As for what happens to the Zhao family, I'm not interested."
"If you agree to my terms today, from now on, I'll go my way, and you'll go yours. We'll have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
After listening to Zhao Chen's explanation, Zhao Guohua's emotions fluctuated, but in the end he had to admit that Zhao Chen was right.
He could only grit his teeth and reply with one sentence:
"Okay, then tell me your requirements."
At this moment, Zhao Chen revealed a big smile:
"If you had said that earlier, wouldn't everyone have been happy?"
"My condition is simple: you all need to sign a document severing all ties as proof."
"Then, write down the wrong things you have done to me in the past, and admit your sins."
"At the same time, you must write a statement saying that if I become successful in the future, you should not try to curry favor with me."
"I came into this world clean, and I will leave it clean."
“I don’t want a single penny from you, lest you accuse me of coveting your Zhao family’s wealth.”
"These are all I'm asking for. They shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Guohua flew into a rage once again:
"Why should we sign a confession? Everything we did before was for your own good!"
"What have we done wrong? What crime have we committed?"
Zhao Chen laughed even more unrestrainedly at this moment:
"What a fine excuse, 'for my own good'! Does 'for my own good' mean you can arbitrarily deprive me of my dignity, my freedom, and my life?"
"Damn it, what are you talking about, hypocrisy? If I say you're guilty, then you're guilty!"
"Your crimes are heinous!"
"Sign it or die together!"
"You choose."
