Meng Pengfei was an old bodyguard who had followed Old Master Zhao through thick and thin.
During the war years, he was Old Master Zhao's personal bodyguard.
He saved Old Master Zhao's life in several battles.
This is a friendship that transcends life and death.
They also share a very deep affection.
The bodyguards around Old Master Zhao changed batch after batch, but Meng Pengfei stayed by his side the whole time.
After all, many of the guards who were replaced had already risen to important positions.
Those who can serve as top-level security personnel around such powerful figures naturally have excellent career prospects in the military.
It's a prestigious resume to talk about.
However, Meng Pengfei did not make that choice; he stayed by Grandpa Zhao's side.
After retiring, he continued to work as Mr. Zhao's personal butler.
So although he wasn't a member of the Zhao family, he held a very important position within the Zhao family.
It can be said that Zhao Tianqi was well taken care of by this old butler from birth to adulthood.
In fact, the old housekeeper also had some complaints about Zhao Lixuan's doting on her child.
But since it was his former superior's family matter, he couldn't say much.
However, seeing the child becoming more and more useless made him very uncomfortable, and he had privately mentioned it to Grandpa Zhao many times.
Back then, even Grandpa Zhao couldn't persuade his daughter, so he eventually gave up on her.
In this way, Meng Pengfei would be even less likely to say anything more and would simply pretend that the child never existed.
However, the bond from back then still exists; after all, those were children he watched grow up, so there's still some affection between them.
So seeing Zhao Tianqi in such a sorry state, he felt a little sorry for him.
But now, who cares about Zhao Tianqi's affairs?
This guy swapped lives with their real young master, causing Zhao Chen to suffer for so many years. It was someone else who rebelled against the Heavenly Gang and forced their Zhao family's secret agent to act. How could he still consider this kid one of his own?
Drawing clear boundaries is the most important thing.
At that moment, Meng Pengfei suddenly received a call from Zhao Tianqi, and his first reaction was to hang up and block the call.
He hadn't done this before because he had simply forgotten about the person.
After all, the Zhao family has a lot going on, and once they've driven the other party away, there's basically no further contact.
Naturally, it's optional.
Unexpectedly, the other party would take the initiative to call him.
You should know that when Zhao Tianqi was still in the Zhao family in previous years, they never asked about his affairs or took the initiative to care about him.
They're taking the initiative to contact me now, which clearly means they need something from me.
As for what things are, he can probably figure them out.
However, when he suddenly heard Zhao Tianqi talking about the Zhao family, he reluctantly listened.
"Uncle Meng, I know you don't really want to hear anything I say right now."
"But the news I received next was really important to the Zhao family."
"It's about some things from back then, some key information about how Uncle Zhao and his two uncles were framed."
"My father has handed over the clues to the mastermind behind this back then."
"I'd like to entrust these matters to Old Master Zhao..."
Upon hearing Zhao Tianqi's words, Meng Pengfei's eyes narrowed, and after a moment's hesitation, he said:
"I don't have the right to decide this matter. I need to ask the old man and let him decide."
Meng Pengfei's words relieved Zhao Tianqi slightly. As long as Old Master Zhao knew, there would be room for maneuver.
Unlike Zhao Chen, who completely ignored them and insisted on investigating on his own.
He also noticed that Zhao Chen was extremely confident and possessed great abilities, which explained his behavior.
Even now, he still can't understand how Zhao Chen built such a business empire on his own without the support of the Zhao family.
Of course, he didn't believe these things at all. He thought that Zhao Chen might have already made contact with the Zhao family, but he was just kept in the dark.
With the help of the Zhao family, Zhao Chen achieved success and fame before returning directly to the Zhao family, only to be kicked out of their home.
Zhao Chen definitely doesn't want him to have any contact with anyone from the Zhao family, so he won't even give him this small chance.
That's why Zhao Tianqi is even less likely to go looking for Zhao Chen.
After all, Zhao Guohua had already gotten himself thoroughly humiliated by Zhao Chen.
Upon hearing Zhao Tianqi's words, Meng Pengfei quickly hung up the phone and reported everything he had just learned to Old Master Zhao.
When Old Master Zhao heard this news, he immediately frowned.
Zhao Qiye has experienced many things over the years, and even participated in espionage.
We've seen all sorts of methods and have our own intelligence network.
Even with such methods, he was completely unaware of what happened back then, and was even more deceived, resulting in the loss of two of his three sons and the crippling of another.
This was the most heartbreaking defeat of his life.
He always felt extremely guilty because his intelligence was flawed, which led to the death of his son.
The most critical issue is that all the clues from back then have been lost.
All I can say is that the other side's infiltration was extremely deadly.
That is why, in recent years, the higher-ups have attached greater importance to counter-surveillance than anyone else, and they do not want the same thing to happen again.
Therefore, any clues from back then, even the slightest one, would attract extremely high attention.
Actually, the fact that Zhao Chen mentioned that there would be some clues on Zhao Guohua's side was something that Old Master Zhao knew about immediately.
Zhao Chen told him this very quickly.
Da Zhaochen also clearly explained the follow-up investigation, and at the same time learned some clues about the woman.
For this reason, Old Master Zhao did not continue to inquire about Zhao Guohua's affairs.
He believed in his genius grandson.
Good grandson has extremely strong abilities; I believe he can bring the truth to light for his family.
But now, things seem to have taken a new turn, and Zhao Chen's investigation has temporarily stalled.
Therefore, Old Master Zhao also wanted to see if the information in Zhao Tianqi's hands was true and useful.
However, he won't make the decision himself right now; he needs to ask Zhao Chen about it.
Because now the entire Zhao family is under Zhao Chen's control.
This is the situation that Old Master Zhao has always hoped to see.
After all, the Zhao family will eventually be handed over to Zhao Chen.
Therefore, Mr. Zhao communicated with Zhao Chen about this matter immediately:
“Kid, Zhao Tianqi has come again. He says he has news and information about the truth of what happened back then.”
"What do you think we should do? Should we go and talk to him?"
"It's quite possible that some new breakthroughs might actually occur."
