Chapter 763: 758. Blocking the Last Path (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

~7 min read 1,285 words

"It should have been like this long ago. I said it before, as long as we get a grip on Zhao Feng's family, he'll be obedient and listen to us," Zhao Kui said with a smile.

"But still, like I said, don't do anything excessive. That's not good for anyone. Once Zhao Feng is truly pushed into a corner, it won't be a good thing for either you or me," Lin Xiong reminded him once again.

Don't let Zhao Kui's rough and burly appearance fool you; he is ruthless and extremely calculating.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kui laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not an idiot. Before I have absolute certainty, I won't do something like that."

"Besides, once I do it, there will truly be no turning back for me."

Of course, he didn't say the last part: if he really did it, he would have a fatal weakness held by Lin Xiong and his group, and he would be completely under their control.

Zhang Ran has been staying at Xia Zhangqing's house for the past two days, treating it as if he were a guest at a friend's home.

Xia Zhangqing looked with some envy at Zhang Ran sitting on the sofa having a video chat, then looked at his daughter lying at home like a salted fish.

"Grandpa, when are you coming back? I miss you," Taotao's childish voice came from the phone.

Zhang Ran has been very busy during this period, so busy that he hasn't had much time to call or video chat with the two little ones.

Taking advantage of the free time now, Zhang Ran quickly video chatted with the two little ones; he had been talking for nearly three hours from morning until now, and he didn't find it annoying at all.

In any case, Xia Zhangqing was left speechless, or rather, envious.

"Grandpa will come back after finishing the work here. You two must be good and listen at home," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

His mood, which had become extremely poor because of these matters, was healed by the two little ones. Children are truly the most perfect creations in this world.

"Okay, then Grandpa, you have to come back quickly."

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Xia Zhangqing suddenly asked.

Xia Wen gave a start and looked at her dad: "Dad, do you have a fever? Didn't you used to say you wouldn't allow me to find a boyfriend?"

Xia Zhangqing used to be very strict with Xia Wen's upbringing; after all, he didn't want his daughter to leave home so early.

Xia Zhangqing snorted and said: "That was in the past, and I said that when you were still in high school."

"No, no, I haven't met anyone suitable yet. I'll talk about it when I do." Xia Wen herself is not in a hurry.

"Get married early, then let me hold a grandson, and I won't bother you anymore," Xia Zhangqing said.

Xia Wen looked at her dad, truly speechless. What kind of stimulation had her dad received?

However, looking at Zhang Ran over there, she seemed to understand something.

"Dad, I have something to do, I'm going out for a bit." After saying this, Xia Wen left. She felt that if she stayed any longer, this topic would probably never end.

Watching Xia Wen leave as if fleeing, Xia Zhangqing snorted coldly.

Actually, he was just saying those things earlier; he didn't really want his daughter to get married so soon. As for holding a grandson, although he wanted to, he wasn't in a hurry.

Besides, he didn't have the time right now. It would be best if he could hold a grandson when he was about to retire, and it would be even better if he could find a live-in son-in-law.

However, Xia Zhangqing wouldn't force such things. If they could discuss it then, they would; if not, so be it. Everything had to be based on his daughter's happiness.

After finally waiting for Zhang Ran to hang up the phone, Xia Zhangqing immediately said: "Zhang Ran, when are you planning to start acting?"

He had everything ready on his end and was just waiting for Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran said nonchalantly: "What's the rush? Haste makes waste."

"The longer things drag on, the harder they are to handle. What exactly are you thinking?" Xia Zhangqing frowned slightly.

Zhang Ran ate a piece of apple and said casually: "It won't drag on much longer, just these few days. Those people should be anxious now, and they will act very soon."

"Moreover, some things are hidden extremely deep. If we don't seize the opportunity this time to round them all up, the problem will recur later."

"Then tell me your thoughts. You can't just keep me waiting here, right? I need to prepare a bit on my end too," Xia Zhangqing said.

This was only because it was Zhang Ran. If it were anyone else, even if they told Xia Zhangqing all their plans, he would still need to carefully consider and deliberate.

It was nothing like now, where he was cooperating with Zhang Ran while only half-understanding.

This was also a form of trust in Zhang Ran!

And this kind of trust naturally didn't come from thin air; they had a solid foundation between them.

Zhang Ran thought for a moment; it was indeed time to talk about it, so he brought up the matter of Zhao Feng.

"The news that I've arrived must have spread by now, and based on the situation at Maikai Supermarket, it's easy to infer that I'm definitely in a bad mood."

"At this time, any slight disturbance is likely to make me alert and start a thorough investigation into certain things."

"And at this moment, what they need to do is to block the news, so they will need to arrange for someone to make Zhao Feng shut up," Zhang Ran explained some of his plans.

After hearing this, Xia Zhangqing frowned deeply: "You doing this..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious. Zhang Ran understood and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm that kind of person? Don't worry, Zhao Feng and his family will absolutely not have any problems."

"In fact, ever since he started doing this, everything about him has been under the most secure protection."

"Let me put it this way: even the food he eats every day is delivered by people I've arranged."

"The vegetables their family buys every day are also pre-arranged."

Zhang Ran would never casually use other people's lives to achieve his own goals. Everything he did was under the condition of having absolute certainty.

Moreover, Zhao Feng didn't need to worry about any aftermath; Zhang Ran had already considered this clearly for him.

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Xia Zhangqing breathed a slight sigh of relief. Zhang Ran hadn't changed; he was still the same Zhang Ran as before.

"In this way, it means no one will dare to take the blame alone?" Although it was a question, Xia Zhangqing's tone was extremely certain.

The biggest worry right now was that one person would take all the responsibility alone, which would allow many others to escape justice.

As for the previous charges, even if they harmed many people, the actual punishment wouldn't be particularly heavy.

But if things went according to Zhang Ran's plan, then this path would be completely blocked. This was one of the reasons why Zhang Ran did this, although not the most important one; it could only be considered a precaution.

Zhang Ran nodded and said: "I have considered that aspect, but the specifics will depend on the situation."
