"Dad, I'm not sure about this. You didn't offend Shangguan Jie last time, did you?
He is famous for being narrow-minded. "
Zhao Youcai's tone revealed deep worry. If it was Commander-in-Chief Shangguan who did it, he might not be able to withstand the pressure.
"No, I'm respectful to him. How could I offend him?"
Master Zhao thought for a moment. Commander-in-Chief Shangguan naturally knew the relationship between Zhao Youcai and the Zhao Family. He wouldn't want to uproot the Zhao Family, would he?
"Hmm, I don't think so. This morning, I received an invitation from the Shangguan family. Their granddaughter is getting married next month. This is a joyous occasion. As long as they don't go too far, they won't punish anyone. Oh, right, Dad, I heard that it was food poisoning. Have you investigated the kitchen?" "Yes, that's right.
Zhao Youcai breathed a sigh of relief. After his reminder, Old Master Zhao calmed down. Usually, he was a calm person, but the rumors were everywhere, which gave him a lot of pressure, so he contacted Zhao Youcai in the first place. If someone had the intention to monitor their phone, it would be easy to have problems.
When Master Zhao started to investigate, Brother Steamed Bun, the person involved, had already escaped under the arrangement of Head Feng. Even if the Zhao Family stood out to declare that it was just an ordinary case of food poisoning, not many people would believe it.
In short, this time the Zhao Family suffered heavy losses, not only casualties, but also caused a huge sensation, which completely affected the Zhao Family's face and image. Moreover, the Zhao Family suffered a loss in silence. It was Brother Steamed Bun who did it, but they couldn't explain it clearly, which would easily lead to more speculation and comments.
The Zhao Family had to emphasize several times that it was the kitchen chores who accidentally used the wrong ingredients, which caused such a situation. However, they were more inclined to believe that Commander-in-Chief Shangguan wanted to deal with the Zhao Family. After all, they had dominated Yuncheng for many years and had done many immoral things. Especially those playboys of the Zhao Family, who knew how to bully men and women in daily life and were eager to see the world in chaos. Relying on the blood of the Zhao Family in their bones, they were all arrogant.
In addition, in the business aspect, the Zhao Group has a lot of vicious competition, suppressing other people's business in order to strengthen itself. This practice has provoked many enterprises, some of which are even among the top 500 in the country. It is difficult for them to establish a foothold in Yuncheng unless the Zhao family here agrees. There is a link of interest. As the saying goes, a wall is pushed by everyone and a broken drum is beaten by thousands.
Anyway, the Zhao family was in a terrible predicament, and they didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. Even if the Zhao family had the ability to cover the sky with one hand, they couldn't withstand such indiscriminate targeting.
There is no doubt that the power of public opinion is great. The most obvious point is that the stock price of the Zhao Group, which opened low and rose high in the morning, plummeted in the afternoon, and finally fell to the limit. In just half a day, the Zhao Group lost nearly 30 million shares, and many of them were held by old friends in Yuncheng. They kept calling to inquire about the situation and prepared to sell in large quantities.
This made Zhao Leiting's balls hurt. When he had diarrhea, looking at those WeChat messages, not only did his stomach hurt, but his heart was also bleeding. F * ck, that steamed bun brother usually looked honest, at most a little lecherous, but he had never caused any trouble for the Zhao family. Why did he suddenly cause such a ruckus!?
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. He and the old man urgently discussed how to stabilize the company's shareholders.
The two of them were not stupid. In the past two days, they had been absorbing the interests of the Tigers, but there were still some remnants that they hadn't eliminated. They were unwilling to submit to the Zhao family, which was a big hidden danger. According to the old man, they had to eliminate them as soon as possible, in case of trouble.
After the discussion between the father and the son of the Zhao family, it was most likely done by the remnants of the Tigers, because they thoroughly checked Brother Steamed Bun's information and were surprised to find that he was a childhood friend of a member of the Tigers named Xiaowu, who didn't submit to the Zhao family and was also one of the remnants.
Old Zhao was furious, so he increased his efforts to find the whereabouts of the remnants, and announced that anyone who provided information would be rewarded handsomely.
As the saying goes, when some people are happy, some people are sad. At this time, I also got the news from Chief Feng. I can't deny that Chief Feng was happy to see this scene, but he was also a little worried. Last night, we transported two batches of Tigers. Although we used the back door of the nightclub, we were still discovered by the members of the Blood Wolf Hall. Moreover, they needed to eat and drink, so even if they didn't step out of the door, it would be hard to prevent them from leaking.
If someone with ulterior motives appeared in the Blood Wolf Hall and reported to the Zhao family, then all our efforts would be in vain, and we would still be targeted. Actually, Chief Feng had considered this point before, but he didn't mention it. After all, the core members of the Tigers were all talents that could only be found by chance. If we arranged for them to stay in other places, it would be the same as drawing a line between us, and it would be hard to maintain a good relationship with them.
So, it wasn't easy to accept these people. Frankly speaking, among the current forces in Yuncheng, the Blood Wolf Hall was the most suitable. At least, they weren't restricted and controlled by the Zhao family. That was also why those core members agreed without hesitation.
Especially when they were brought to the nightclub, they were even more grateful. It was undoubtedly a way to show their attitude. Of course, Chief Feng was also facing a huge risk. Before this, he had been very careful with his development. He was afraid that if he took too big of a step, he would be easily taught a lesson.
Now, because of these core members, the Blood Wolf Hall was very anxious. This kind of situation would undoubtedly affect the whole situation. That was why Chief Feng insinuated the stakes clearly to me.
He asked me to decide whether to keep these people or hand them over to the Zhao family. Regarding this matter, even if Chief Feng had experienced a lot, he didn't dare to make a rash decision. Of course, this was a kind of respect and approval he had for me.
Sigh, I had to admit that Chief Feng's consideration was very thorough. Even if the Blood Wolf Hall's people were loyal, no one could say for sure whether there were spies or not. These days, it was hard to know a person's heart. Moreover, the current Blood Wolf Hall didn't have the ability to directly compete with the Zhao family.
If they absorbed the new blood of those core members, they could expand in all aspects. Perhaps in a year or two, they could surpass the Tiger Head Gang at its peak. Now, it seemed that time was too precious. The Zhao family didn't want to give the Blood Wolf Hall a chance to breathe.
After pondering for a while, I told Chief Feng to keep this secret. If the Zhao family found out, I would stand up. With these words, Chief Feng felt a lot more at ease. In fact, he didn't want to trouble me, but this was related to the Blood Wolf Hall's survival. He had to carefully consider it. The higher a person stood, the more painful it would be if he fell.
Although she couldn't poison old man Zhao to death, the Zhao family was in a mess, which made Qu Miaoting happy. She was grateful to me from the bottom of her heart. "Do you have time? You can go and get the secret martial arts book."
