Chapter 785

I and Manager Chu were on the road, and we didn't encounter any inspections,

Along the way we arrived in Huaihai quite smoothly.

This shows that Wen Han's influence is still not as strong as the Zhou Family's,

Back then, there were personnel conducting inspections on all the major transportation routes.

Upon arriving at the Tianlong Hotel in Huaihai,

I arranged for Manager Chu to stay in a room,

Then I hurriedly asked Ding Li about Shi Yong's condition,

Ding Li said to me, "Brother, Shi Yong woke up for a little while, then fell asleep again."

"He fell asleep again—what's going on?" I asked.

"We called a doctor, and the doctor said it was due to a large dose of sleeping pills; he's already been given an IV. He should recover by tomorrow morning," Ding Li said.

I followed Ding Li to the room where Shi Yong was staying,

A doctor was measuring Shi Yong's blood pressure.

I asked the doctor,

"Doctor, does my brother need stomach pumping?"

"The drug has already entered the bloodstream, so stomach pumping won't help. Give him some IV fluids and see; it should be fine," the doctor said.

I looked at Shi Yong, who was in a deep sleep,

Judging from his complexion, it seemed normal enough.

I told the doctor, "If it really doesn't work, let's send the patient to the hospital for treatment."

"His blood pressure and heart rate are still normal; I feel there's no need to go to the hospital for now," the doctor replied confidently.

Since the doctor said that, I couldn't say anything else.

After leaving Shi Yong's place, I went to see Qian Niang again,

Qian Niang was talking with Xiao Long about something,

When Qian Niang saw me come in,

"Er Hai, I heard from Xiao Long that Li Ming has been arrested again."

I nodded,

"Mother, yes, he was in charge of logistics at Da Heng Group, and he was arrested on suspicion of job-related crime."

"That good-for-nothing—does he think he can't survive without taking others' things? It's disgraceful. Forget it, Er Hai, don't ask about his affairs; let him reap what he sows," Qian Niang said angrily.

"Mother, actually arresting Li Ming is for his own good. There are some things I can't explain to you."

"He's safe now," I said to Qian Niang.

Qian Niang waved her hand,

"He doesn't see me as his mother in his eyes, and I don't see him as my son."

"Having you all around is enough. But, Er Hai, when will we be able to get through days like this?" Qian Niang sighed.

Hearing Qian Niang's sigh, I felt great pain inside,

I hadn't expected that after moving Qian Niang to Niushiling, she still wouldn't be settled, and then she followed us fleeing to Huaihai.

I could only comfort Qian Niang,

"Mother, we'll soon turn things around."

"Er Hai, I just don't understand—you've given up on Da Heng Group, so why won't they let you go?" Qian Niang asked.

"Grandma, the situation is really complicated. Tian Shi specifically told me that some things aren't a matter of whether my grandfather wants to do them or not, but rather others are forcing him."

"They're unavoidable. Don't ask about my grandfather—he has his own unspeakable difficulties." Xiao Long said from the side, helping me out.

Hearing Xiao Long say that, Qian Niang didn't say anything else.

After leaving Qian Niang's room,

Yang Tao came to find me again,

"Jianqiang, what's the situation now?"

"Yang Tao, basically there's nothing going on now. We're all safe," I said to Yang Tao.

"Basically nothing's happened—what did you do in Sijiucheng? Did Wen Han get you involved?" Yang Tao asked directly.

I shook my head and said, "No, in Sijiucheng I just rescued Shi Yong; I didn't do anything else."

"What, you just rescued Shi Yong."

"What's the use of rescuing Shi Yong,"

"what can Shi Yong do,"

"even if he falls into Wen Han's hands, what can happen,"

"I thought you would know some influential people in Sijiucheng."

"and that someone would back us up."

"This is what you call basic safety, Jianqiang—you're ridiculous," Yang Tao mocked me.

Hearing Yang Tao's mockery, I just smiled,

"Yang Tao, you need to know that Shi Yong is very important to me; if Shi Yong falls into Wen Han's hands, he will use him to blackmail me."

"Then we would be in a passive position."

Yang Tao heard me say that,

immediately retorted,

"With Shi Yong being such a brute, what could he possibly do if he fell into Wen Han's hands? How could he use Shi Yong to blackmail you?"

"What kind of person are you, Zhao Jianqiang,"

Take up what you can, put down what you can't.

Hmph, someone like Shi Yong should have been dealt with long ago.

Right, what's the deal with my 50 million?

I'm too lazy to argue with a woman like Yang Tao; she truly dislikes Shi Yong.

"Regarding the 50 million, I'll give you an explanation, but not now. You need to wait," I said, then stopped paying attention to Yang Tao.

Because I still have many matters to attend to.

I can't waste time on this woman.

Yang Tao, looking at my back, said, "What does it matter that we defeated Wen Han? And what about Wang Ge?"

I turned and said to Yang Tao, "Yang Tao, whoever it is, as long as they dare to harm my family, Zhao Jianqiang will swear to protect them to the death."

Wang Ge, Li Ge— they're all paper tigers in my eyes.

After I finished speaking, I hurried away.

I only wanted to show Yang Tao an attitude, namely Zhao Jianqiang's resolve.

As long as I'm not afraid, anyone is insignificant to me.

Next, I need to contact Zhuang Shi; I also have to meet Liu Yong,

to discuss whether he has started taking action against the Wen Family.

I was just about to go back to my room and call Zhuang Shi,

when Xiao Yan came over,

"Zhao Ge, I want to leave here."

"Why, Xiao Yan?" I asked, puzzled.

"Zhao Ge, ever since you left Sijiucheng, I've been thinking about this; my body has already decided

that it can no longer help you.

It would just be a burden to you.

I feel guilty deep down," Xiao Yan said earnestly, looking at me.

"Xiao Yan, listen to me,

you've already done me a huge favor.

Without you, how could I have rescued Shi Yong?

Xiao Yan, if you still have such thoughts,

I'm angry; you're mainly too insecure.

Xiao Yan, some things have already happened; they're unavoidable.

Don't overthink it.

From now on, look forward.

I said I'd support you,

As long as I, Zhao Jianqiang, have something to eat, you, Xiao Yan, will have something to drink. Don't mention leaving again." I said angrily to Xiao Yan.

As long as Zhao Jianqiang has a bite to eat, Xiao Yan can have a sip. From now on, don't bring up leaving again," I said angrily to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan, hearing me say that,

"Zhao Ge, thank you. Do you have clothes to wash? Let me wash them for you. I don't want to eat plain rice."

That kid Xiao Yan leaves me at a loss for words.

He's extremely proud yet very insecure.

I patted Xiao Yan's shoulder,

"Xiao Yan, don't be so humble; our relationship isn't master and servant.

We're friends, understand?

You're Zhao Jianqiang's friend, which means a lifelong friend.

Xiao Yan, I can understand your feelings.

Now, you're afraid others will say you eat plain rice.

Actually, you're not that kind of person.

Although your body has a disability, you excel in other aspects,

after these tasks are done, whatever you want to learn, I'll arrange.

Just try not to let yourself become idle.

Xiao Yan, hearing me say that, had red eyes.

"Thank you, Zhao Ge, you truly treat me as a friend."

I suddenly remembered something: He Zuming had once mentioned to me that he wanted to take on a disciple.

I suddenly recalled something: He Zuming had once mentioned to me his desire to take a disciple.

Publishing a book is no longer possible; he wants to find a disciple.

I immediately thought of Xiao Yan,

who has patience and a keen mind,

【116】 I feel having him study Feng Shui under He Zuming would be good. Once he masters it, he can support himself and regain his dignity.
