Today, Zhao Guohua and his family passed by in a very tense and uneasy mood.
Especially Zhao Tianqi, after all, he hasn't experienced any major ups and downs. He was just a coward who grew up in a greenhouse and is simply not up to the task.
He gets restless whenever something happens.
After Zhao Lixuan's arrival, both Zhao Guohua and Zhao Tianqi placed high hopes on her.
This woman may be a bit dim-witted, but she's certainly adept at using unreasonable and disruptive tactics.
Moreover, no matter what, she is Zhao Chen's biological mother. No matter how ruthless or decisive Zhao Chen is, he will inevitably be influenced by her.
So if Zhao Lixuan goes there now, it will definitely cause Zhao Chen some trouble, regardless of anything else.
With that, Zhao Chen no longer had much energy left to target them.
Of course, they hoped that Zhao Lixuan could achieve even greater success. If she could persuade Zhao Chen to seek peace and the Zhao family could reconcile, that would be wonderful.
To be honest, with this daughter's unreasonable and disruptive methods, she might actually be able to complete this extremely difficult task.
So ever since Zhao Lixuan left, they have been waiting here with mixed feelings and trepidation.
They all hoped that Zhao Lixuan would return victorious.
However, they waited and waited but received no news from the woman.
They started to get a little anxious.
"Dad, is that woman any good?"
"Isn't it a bit unreliable that we trust her so much and place all our hopes on her?"
Should we make a backup plan?
At this moment, Zhao Tianqi couldn't help but ask the question that had been troubling him the most.
After all, everyone could see that Zhao Chen was determined to fight them to the death.
It seems unlikely that a woman alone could effectively deal with Zhao Chen and capture his vital points.
But it seems they don't have any better solutions.
At this moment, Zhao Guohuai shook his head and said:
"You don't need to worry about that."
"Zhao Lixuan may not be good at anything else, but she's exceptionally good at being unreasonable."
"No matter what, she is still your grandfather's daughter."
"The Zhao family are all people who value relationships and loyalty; they always leave some traces of affection behind."
“They looked fierce and cold this time, but I think this is how they wanted to make Zhao Lixuan realize the truth.”
"So as long as you use your silver tongue to make this woman happy and have her completely under your thumb."
"Zhao Lixuan is completely under our control; she is our biggest trump card."
"In the end, the Zhao family wouldn't dare to do anything to us."
"So, whether she succeeds or not, you have to keep this woman happy."
"If it works out, that would be great; if it doesn't, we still have a bargaining chip!"
Hearing his father say this, Zhao Tianqi was unhappy, but he could only accept it.
After all, everything he has now depends on Zhao Guohua's family.
If their family falls, Zhao Tianqi will suffer the consequences as well.
Under these circumstances, whatever he does must be done to protect the Zhao family.
So even though Zhao Tianqi was already very reluctant to be with Zhao Lixuan, he still endured the disgust and coaxed the woman to be happy.
However, Zhao Lixuan did not return until it got dark.
The staff who went to serve Zhao Lixuan haven't returned with any new information, which is quite unusual.
This gave Zhao Guohua a bad feeling:
"Tianqi, quickly contact that woman Zhao Lixuan. I have a feeling something might have happened. We need to get in touch with her right away!"
Zhao Tianqi sensed something was wrong and, following his father's advice, immediately called Zhao Lixuan.
Unexpectedly, the other end of the line shut down; this situation was truly unexpected!
After all, Zhao Lixuan never turned off her phone before.
These days, mobile phones have only just appeared, and owning a stylish and beautiful one is already a symbol of status.
Zhao Lixuan never misses an opportunity to show off.
Therefore, Zhao Lixuan's phone is always on 24 hours a day.
They don't even take a break.
The current performance speaks volumes.
"Dad, quickly contact your men and see which link in the chain has gone wrong."
"Did Zhao Chen lay a hand on that woman?"
"Did the Zhao family in the capital do something?"
Zhao Guohua then said in an annoyed tone:
"I asked about this a long time ago, but I haven't been able to get in touch with them at all..."
"It seems things have changed."
"No, we need to act quickly and go to Zhao Chen's school to ask him carefully."
"Find them throughout the entire city of Shanghai!"
The Zhao Guohua family still wields some influence in this area, so mobilizing manpower and connections to find these people isn't actually that difficult.
But strangely, no matter how hard they searched, these people seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Now Zhao Guohua knew that it must have been the people in Beijing who had made the move.
They cut off their last hope completely.
Just as Zhao Guohua was pacing anxiously, his subordinates who had been sent out to escort Zhao Lixuan returned.
Seeing these people return, but with Zhao Lixuan nowhere to be seen, Zhao Guohua immediately grabbed one of his men and asked:
"Where is Zhao Lixuan? Didn't I tell you she's the most important person, and we can't let anything happen to her!"
"Where did everyone go? But you all came back!"
Upon hearing Zhao Guohua's question, the group of subordinates exchanged glances and then clearly explained the situation they had encountered that day.
After hearing what they said, Zhao Guohua was furious:
"Didn't I tell you? No matter what happens, you must keep her here even if it costs you your lives!"
"What kind of work are you doing? I pay you so much money to support you, and this is how you work for me?"
At this point, a group of subordinates couldn't help but explain:
"Boss, it's not that we're not willing to fight hard, it's just that they're too strong. The Zhao family from Beijing are not only extremely powerful, but they're also well-equipped."
"They even have guns; no matter how we fight, going up there is just suicide..."
Hearing his subordinates' words, Zhao Guohua was also very frustrated. Of course, he knew the situation; he just wanted to vent his emotions by finding these people.
If he could easily deal with the Zhao family in the capital, he wouldn't be in such a passive position now.
Finally, he asked again, "What about the woman? Did the Zhao family from the capital take her back?"
The answer he received further chilled Zhao Guohua's heart.
