Chapter 2594: Trade and Advancement (3)

Zhao Shizhang fell silent for a moment.

He gazed quietly at the one million gold coins on the ground.

Who wouldn't want so much money?

He wanted it too.

The Zhao family was indeed in a very difficult spot right now, and they really did need money.

But he still couldn't set his mind at ease about Zhao Chi.

Zhao Shizhang asked again with concern, "Zhao Chi, tell me the truth—now that you've taken so much money, is there any danger? Have the two of you agreed to anyone's conditions? Don't let money cloud your eyes, don't do anything you'll regret!"

Su Qin said, "Grandfather Clan Leader, please rest assured. We're not in any danger. Feel free to use it for the family."

Zhao Chi also nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about us. There's absolutely no problem, and it won't cause any trouble for me, Su Qin, or anyone else."

"This... this..."

Zhao Shizhang, leaning on the table, was still wavering.

Zhao Chi knew he was concerned about him.

So much money—a normal lord couldn't earn this much in a lifetime, and Zhao Chi had only been a lord for a few months; it was simply impossible for him to have this much.

And this was what Zhao Chi was taking out to give to the Zhao family, which could only mean Zhao Chi had even more on hand.

To obtain money at this level, Zhao Chi must have done something dangerous.

Zhao Chi said, "You can ask Captain Li; she knows about it too."

Zhao Shizhang finally believed him somewhat.

He murmured, "Is this real? The Zhao family can really use this money?"

Zhao Chi said with a smile, "That's right. I know the family's situation hasn't been good lately—several of my uncles and clan brothers have fallen on hard times, and our family's dragon is gone too. Now is exactly the difficult time. I hope this money can help our family regain its footing."

Zhao Shizhang was extraordinarily moved.

He shook his head while nodding.

"A promising child... at last the family has a promising child... no... so much money... we can't use this much; you need money too, Zhao Chi."

Zhao Chi said, "Grandfather! I've already told you—I still have plenty on my end. This is meant for our family's development. I came to see you this time specifically to bring this money over. Now that it's been delivered, Su Qin and I will be on our way."

"Wait! Hold on!"

Zhao Shizhang hurriedly stopped Zhao Chi.

Then he said, "The family really is in a tough spot right now, and there's nothing in the house I can give you, but I can first thank you on behalf of the entire Zhao family..."

As he spoke, Zhao Shizhang was actually about to kneel?

How could that be allowed?

Zhao Chi quickly stopped him.
