Chapter 780
"That boss, I ask you, are the people guarding Shi Yong your subordinates?" I asked.
The boss shook his head and said,
"No, they are Wen Han's elder brother's people. I also know them well. I just don't have the authority to order them."
"Wen Han's elder brother is also involved in this."
"Yes, this concerns the entire Wen Family; Wen Han's elder brother naturally has to help Wen Han."
"How many people are watching Shi Yong?" I asked.
"Not many, just about four people."
"What about Ruan Wei and Qiao San and the others?" I asked again.
"They were all arrested by Wen Han and are now locked up in the underground parking garage."
"However, Ruan Wei is quite tough; Wen Han had people beat him several times, yet he said nothing."
"He only said he teamed up with Qiao San to avenge Liu Shiru."
"I didn't expect you to show up; it was just a chance encounter." The boss said.
"As long as Ruan Wei doesn't talk, there should be no problem; the issue is how we rescue Shi Yong's brother—that's the main task."
"Boss, do you have any ideas?" I asked.
"I want to ask you, Zhao Ge, are you willing to take a risk?" the boss said, looking at me.
"Boss, what do you mean by that? For the sake of saving Shi Yong's brother's life, I can put myself on the line." I said.
"I have a method; Manager Chu of the Millennium Hotel, who used to work for Wen Han, is my little brother."
"He listens to what I say."
"Although the people guarding Shi Yong's brother don't listen to us, the hotel's management staff will listen to what I say."
"These people eat and drink inside the hotel."
"Zhao Ge, if you're willing to take the risk to rescue Shi Yong's brother, I can help you; then I'll have Manager Chu give you a hand."
"You have to figure out how to deal with those four people yourself."
"Manager Chu is timid; if you ask him to do other things, he probably can't." the boss whispered to me.
Upon hearing that,
"This has a chance; as long as we can save Shi Yong, I'd dare face not just four but even ten people."
"Only if the boss steps forward and tells his little brother Manager Chu a word,"
"then our entering the hotel will be like entering a no-man's land."
"Great."
"Boss, let's leave it at that; I'm heading to Yanbei County now."
"Arrange a car for me; then after I arrive, I'll contact you, and you'll notify Manager Chu."
"As for how to do it, I'll discuss it with Manager Chu."
"Okay, Zhao Ge, this is easy to handle, just don't make things too hard for Manager Chu; after all, this younger brother is decent, I don't want to implicate him." the boss hesitated.
"Don't worry, boss; I'll handle things, you don't need to overthink."
"Also, there's this: you need to find a way to protect Ruan Wei and the others; after we rescue Shi Yong, I'll think of a way to save Ruan Wei."
"Zhao Ge, Ruan Wei and the others are quite safe; besides, even if Wen Han is formidable, he couldn't possibly kill that many people."
"Today I'll talk to Wen Han and have him release these people; keeping them locked up serves no purpose, it only adds to our burden." the boss said.
"With your words, boss, that's enough; I won't say anything else."
"It's getting late; we can't chat long."
"Go back now; I still say that Wen Han is Wen Han, you are you; later it'll be easy for you to stay safe." I said, standing up.
"Thank you, Zhao Ge; with your words I feel relieved." The boss happily stood up and shook my hand.
I saw the boss out of the park, letting him park the car at the park entrance later.
The boss nodded in agreement.
After the boss left,
Zhao Xiaoguo asked me,
"Brother, how did the talk with that fat guy go?"
"Good. Xiao Guo, get me a SIM card; also, I want to take Xiao Yan's brother away." I said to Zhao Xiaoguo.
"Xiao Yan, if you take him away, with his condition, what use is he?" Zhao Xiaoguo asked.
"Xiao Guo, don't ask."
"Xiao Yan's brother has put in great effort; I can't let him fall to this state, let him follow me, I'll support him." I said, looking at Zhao Xiaoguo.
"Brother, actually Xiao Yan lives quite well here; his physical condition is very suitable for this person." Zhao Xiaoguo felt reluctant to let Xiao Yan go.
"Alright, Xiao Guo, go get me a SIM card and buy two phones." I told Zhao Xiaoguo directly.
Zhao Xiaoguo couldn't say more, so he went to help me sort it out.
After more than half an hour, the boss sent someone to drive a car to the park entrance; the person left, and the car remained.
Zhao Xiaoguo somehow brought me two latest-model phones,
each with a new SIM card installed, and handed them to me.
I was very satisfied; Zhao Xiaoguo's efficiency in handling things is high.
I said to Xiao Yan: "Xiao Yan brother, let's go."
"Mr. Zhao, should I follow you now?" Xiao Yan asked.
"Let's go now; we're heading to Yanbei to handle important matters. Staying here would be wasting talent." I laughed.
"But I'm useless at everything; I'm afraid I can't help you, and I'm afraid you'll despise me." Xiao Yan said embarrassedly.
"Xiao Yan, believe in yourself."
"Don't be insecure; who can go through life without a setback?"
"The pain I've endured in the past is far greater than yours; from now on, follow me, and I won't despise you." I said, then stretched out my hand and actively took hold of Xiao Yan's injured hand.
Xiao Yan happily reached out and shook my hand.
I then opened the car door, letting Xiao Yan get in.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaoguo came over, looking at Xiao Yan and said: "Xiao Yan, if you're not happy following my brother, you can come back. We've kept a spot for you in our team."
"Thank you, Zhaodage." Xiao Yan said, then lowered his head and said nothing more.
I got into the car, started the engine, and Zhao Xiaoguo watched us leave reluctantly.
I waved at Zhao Xiaoguo.
Then I stepped on the accelerator and drove off.
Zhao Xiaoguo mainly didn't want to part with Xiao Yan because Xiao Yan could bring him income; Xiao Yan's physique was most suited for that line of work.
I believe Xiao Yan has brought Zhao Xiaoguo considerable wealth, which is why he's reluctant to let him go.
But Xiao Yan can't rely on Zhao Xiaoguo for a lifetime of meals.
That wouldn't be fair to Xiao Yan, and I feel uncomfortable about it, since he has put in a lot of effort for me.
I took Xiao Yan away; he sat in the car, a happy smile appearing on his face. This shows he also wants to live a normal life sooner.
In Zhao Xiaoguo's view, a happy and free life is not something everyone wishes to live.
Living so humbly, with no dignity at all.
Living in the sewers, eating scraps picked from garbage.
And every day is spent amid scolding. What meaning does such a life have?
I can only say that Zhao Xiaoguo's pursuits are somewhat unconventional; perhaps he's been influenced by Er Ying and can no longer live a normal person's life.
I drove while pulling out my phone, dialing Ding Li's number from memory.
Ding Li's phone was quickly answered.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Ding Li asked over the phone.
"I am Zhao Jianqiang, this is my new phone number."
"You need to figure it out right away and go immediately to my room at the Zaocheng Grand Hotel."
"Help me fetch something."
"It's in the bottom layer of my luggage, wrapped in oil paper. After you get it, send it to Yabei County right away; I'll be waiting for you at the Millennium Hotel in Yabei." I arranged this with Ding Li over the phone.
"Zhao Ge, is it rosemary?" Ding Li asked.
"Yes, it's the last bit left by Lao Wai. I never thought this stuff would still be useful today. Ding Li, send it over quickly, using the fastest speed—did you hear me?" I said over the phone.
