At that time, Zhao Jing's belly was already big, six months pregnant with Zhou Ziheng's child.
Zhao Jing didn't want their future to be ruined like this, so she pitifully begged Zhou Ziheng to reconsider and be with her, but instead, she received a cruel kick from him that caused her to miscarry the child.
After that, Zhao Jing fell into depression and soon committed suicide by jumping off a building.
This incident drove Chen Xiaozhao and Zhuo Chugang mad with anger.
Chen Xiaozhao had once taken the lead to block Zhou Ziheng in Chang'an City, wanting to deal with that guy!
But that guy was too cunning; knowing he had gotten himself into trouble, he immediately disappeared without a trace, and no one could find him.
Zhao Jing and her child lost their lives for this beast in vain.
It had been almost two years since this incident, yet Chen Xiaozhao and the others still hated Zhou Ziheng to the core.
Whenever they mentioned that guy, they gritted their teeth in anger.
Even Fatty and Jindeli wished they could chop Zhou Ziheng up with a kitchen knife.
"Brother Zao, don't mention that scumbag. Just thinking about him makes me furious! Tomorrow morning, I'll take this money to Chun Ni and the others so they can build the most luxurious Dog House! In the future, when we have more money, we'll renovate the orphanage so that the children can live in a mansion just like the Dog House!"
"You're not very educated, yet you still don't understand. What do you mean by letting the children live in a mansion just like the Dog House?"
Jindeli chuckled: "Haha, I may not speak well, but you understand what I mean. Anyway, once I have money, I'll definitely turn the orphanage into a grand estate so that the children can live like rich kids!"
"Stop thinking you can achieve everything at once. We only have 100,000 yuan now; let's not think too far ahead. Keep the rest of this money safe in the store. In the future, when we buy meat and vegetables, we should get the best quality and not always settle for those nearly spoiled clearance items. Our store will focus on high-end low-price green health routes; I want to make Xiaozao Meat Sandwich a world-renowned Chinese Cuisine chain."
"Brother Zao, you really want to eat your way to becoming a fat man, huh? And at a world-famous chain store? Hehe, you really dare to dream!"
Jindeli grinned and gave Chen Xiaozhao a thumbs up.
"Damn it, laughing at me? Don't think just because I'm using a crutch I can't take you down, Fatty!"
Just as Chen Xiaozhao was about to playfully teach Jindeli a lesson, there was a loud banging on their front door.
"—Bang! Bang!—Bang! Bang!"
"Who is it! Are you crazy? Why are you banging on the door so hard? Just showing off how strong you are!"
Chen Xiaozhao shouted irritably towards the door.
"Chen Xiaozhao! You little brat, open the door right now!"
Outside, Li Zhenian's angry voice could be heard.
He must have come to settle scores with Chen Xiaozhao.
Upon hearing Li Zhenian's voice, Jindeli hurriedly went to open the door for him.
"Oh, Director Li, what brings you here?"
"What do you mean what brings me here? Don't you know what your brother has done? Get out of the way!"
Li Zhenian was fuming, clearly furious.
He pushed open the door to Jindeli and walked straight towards Chen Xiaozhao.
Seeing that Chen Xiaozhao was leaning on a cane with his waist and legs wrapped in bandages, Li Zhenian suppressed his anger and asked, "How did you get hurt like this?"
Chen Xiaozhao pretended to act.
However, Jindeli eagerly interjected, "Don't worry, Director Li. Brother Zao just scraped his butt."
"You're ridiculous!"
Chen Xiaozhao snapped at Jindeli, wondering why this useless teammate had to speak so quickly!
"At least you're okay! Now tell me! What were you thinking this afternoon? Did you eat something bold? How could you dare to spy on a female actress while she was bathing?" Li Zhenian's anger flared up again.
"Director Li, what kind of person do you think I, Chen Xiaozhao, am? If others don't know, you should! How could I possibly spy on a female actress bathing?" Chen Xiaozhao feigned indignation.
"Then what were you doing at Old Gou Hot Spring?"
"That's a long story. It was purely a coincidence—like Maimang falling into a needle's eye," Chen Xiaozhao said while giving Jindeli a knowing glance.
Jindeli quickly brought a chair over for Li Zhenian, poured him some tea, and helped explain, "Director Li, please have some tea to calm down. You have high blood pressure; don't get too worked up. You've misunderstood Brother Zao. While we can't say Brother Zao is the best person in town, he certainly isn't the worst! Although Brother Zao can be quite cheeky, he has a good heart! There's no way he would spy on a female actress bathing! With Brother Zao's brains, even if he did try to spy, he wouldn't get caught!"
"You fatso, shut up and stop talking nonsense!" Chen Xiaozhao was defeated by Jindeli's intelligence. He poked Jindeli aside with his cane and turned to explain to Li Zhenian, "Director Li, here's how it happened. Let me explain slowly."
Li Zhenian interrupted him sharply: "Don't give me any nonsense! The moment you raised your butt, I knew what mess you were about to make! No matter what you did, you've caused trouble! You've caused big trouble!"
"What big trouble have I caused? It's just delayed their filming; what's the big deal? Just treat it like the weather was bad and they couldn't shoot. They can pick another day!"
"You think what you did this afternoon is just wasting someone's time on set?"
"What else did Brother Zao do?"
Jindeli, filled with curiosity, leaned over to ask Li Zhenian.
"He hit someone from their crew!"
Li Zhenian slammed the table in anger and asked Chen Xiaozhao, "It's one thing to not admit to peeking at others, but how could you hit someone? And you hit them pretty hard! Do you know that I spent the entire afternoon at the county hospital apologizing? They want to report you to the police!"
"Are they three-year-old kids who haven't been weaned yet? Just for this little thing, they actually want to call the police?" Chen Xiaozhao said helplessly.
"Brother Zao, everyone outside is saying you got beaten up by the crew. How come it's you who hit someone?" Jindeli was confused by this twist.
"I didn't hit anyone! There was a guy named Two Hammers who wanted to kick me. He rushed over, and I couldn't just stand there and let him kick me, could I? So I dodged and raised my arm in self-defense, and that Two Hammers ended up crashing his chest into my elbow."
After demonstrating for Jindeli, Chen Xiaozhao asked Li Zhenian, "Is he really injured from that? Is he that fragile? He looks pretty big. Director Li, I'm telling the truth; you saw it with your own eyes. If they really report it, you have to help me prove in front of the police that I was acting in self-defense and didn't hit anyone!"
"Regardless of whether it was self-defense or not, you still hospitalized someone! You know you've been in trouble for fighting before; you should understand that as long as both parties are involved in a fight, no matter if it's self-defense or not, the one who gets hurt worse is considered the victim! Their injuries are serious enough—broken ribs and minor internal bleeding. If they decide to pursue charges against you, you'll be looking at at least three years!"
"Damn it, they're desperate for money and trying to extort me!" Chen Xiaozhao thought.
"Extort money? Do they really need this little amount from you? Do you even know who the person you hit is?"
