Perhaps it was my subconscious interruption that made him feel disrespected, leading to his anger. Does he even have the right to be angry? The last person who accused me of lacking manners is probably still looking for a job somewhere.
In silence, one either erupts or fades away. Let me tell you this! I’ve been patient long enough, Dead Fatty. From the second sentence you uttered when you walked in, I wanted to take action. If you think I’m just going to endure this, you’re mistaken.
You can talk as much as you want, but if you don’t want to engage, then just get lost. A strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake; I shouldn’t have to explain that to you.
In such a tense atmosphere, anyone would expect that the next moment would lead to a confrontation or even a fight. Unexpectedly, Jie Wang Shang burst into laughter. “Zhao Feng Gou! Zhao Feng Gou! Your son really is quite a character!”
I stared at him in disbelief. Had my words driven him mad? Suddenly, laughter erupted from the entrance. “Dead Fatty! Didn’t I tell you? You wouldn’t believe it until you got scolded!”
Old Zhao? Zhao Changsheng walked in with a hearty laugh, accompanied by Ouyang Xiong and Hu Yao.
“Hu Yao, what’s going on?” I asked.
Hu Yao shrugged helplessly. “Don’t ask me; what your dad said has nothing to do with me.”
At that moment, my mind raced. Why did Wang Ju'en suddenly tell me her father would come tonight? And Zhao Shang’s words since entering were all challenges to my limits. Furthermore, according to Old Zhao’s previous comments, how could he and Wang Shang be on the same side? Shouldn’t they be at each other’s throats?
Are you all testing me? Why?
Zhao Changsheng handed me his takeout box. “Here, eat while you listen to us.”
Seeing Old Zhao like this made me realize that Zhao Changsheng was the one I truly couldn’t understand. Old Zhao took a sip of water and continued, “This marriage contract has existed since before you were born. It was established by a man named Su Xuan. He’s formidable; we knew nothing about him while he effortlessly brought us together.”
Back then, we all had significant reputations in our respective fields or territories. We weren’t afraid of how strong our opponents were; we feared being completely ignorant of them. After extensive investigation, we finally gained some insights.
With all this talk, I had no appetite left. I knew how powerful the foundations of Zhao Changsheng and Ouyang Xiong were, not to mention Wang Shang, who had extensive business connections and networks. The three of them combined had only managed to uncover a few clues!
The man named Su Xuan that Old Zhao spoke of was far more formidable than I had imagined.
Ouyang Xiong noticed that Zhao Changsheng had stopped speaking and chimed in, “When we began to suspect the significance of this marriage contract he set up, based on the information we’ve gathered now, it seems he not only wants to swallow all our industries but also intends to completely erase us!”
For so long, he had been lying in wait, anticipating the right moment. During this time, he maintained constant contact with a foreign assassin organization. This group was large and had influence in every country. The last group that attacked you was just a small part of them; their lives were inconsequential. Their purpose was merely to test you, not to kill you. They could have easily shot you in the head on the spot.
Hearing this completely shattered my worldview. No wonder Old Zhao only told me after I had grown up; it wasn't that he wanted to keep it from me, but rather that he realized he could no longer hide the truth.
It also made sense why Zhao Changsheng arranged for Hu Yao to protect me. Everything he did was aimed at helping me grow rapidly in a short period of time!
Wang Shang cleared his throat, looking at my dazed expression, trying to pull my attention back. "Do you think this is where it ends? It’s not!"
