The time when Fourth Master Zhao was assassinated was eight o'clock last night. He was having dinner and chatting with a group of old friends when several professional killers disguised as waiters suddenly killed him. He killed several old people on the spot and stabbed Fourth Master Zhao in the abdomen. Even Zhao Qingyun was stabbed twice. Although it was not a serious injury, the injury was not minor. After Mr. Zhao was injured, he was rushed back to the Zhao family. Several surgeons with extraordinary skills worked together to rescue him, and then Mr. Zhao was brought back from the gate of hell. Although he was out of danger, he was still in a coma due to his physical weakness.
The police have already arrived. On the one hand, they were investigating the situation, and on the other hand, they came under pressure from the Zhao family to reveal specific details about the killer.
"There were five killers in total. Three of them killed in the box. The other two killers struck in the corridor when my father and Zhao Qingyun rushed out of the box. My father and Zhao Qingyun were also ambushed in the corridor." Shen Manjun Sitting on the sofa with a haggard expression, holding a glass of hot water poured by Xiao Zheng in his hand, his eyes were sluggish. "Two of the killers are foreigners. The police don't have any information. The other three are professional killers. They have many murder cases on them."
"All dead." Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
"Yes." Shen Manjun nodded slightly and whispered. "Father killed two. Zhao Qingyun killed three. Only then was a bloody way out."
"Then the clue is completely lost." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and said with a frown. "This kind of professional killer works cleanly and will not leave any clues. Unless you can pry open their mouth,"
Shen Manjun raised his head slightly, his eyes were slightly red from not sleeping all night, and his originally pretty and pretty face looked particularly haggard. The distracted eyes no longer have the charm of the past. The whole thing looked depressed and lost.
"Father told me that if anything happens to him, let me seek your help as soon as possible." Shen Manjun said in a low voice.
"Then why didn't you contact me until now?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"I didn't want to trouble you," Shen Manjun said with a complicated expression as she took a sip of hot water. "I know you have always cared about my identity."
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, understanding Shen Manjun's mind.
She didn't want to trouble Xiao Zheng because of family matters, let alone arouse Xiao Zheng's resentment. So ever since her father's accident happened, she has been taking on all of this independently. Until this morning, after staying up all night, Shen Manjun was on the verge of mental collapse and finally couldn't hold on any longer.
She may not need Xiao Zheng to do anything for her, but with him by his side, Shen Manjun will feel more at ease.
Xiao Zheng knew that unless Shen Manjun really couldn't hold on, she would never ask for his help given her character. And no matter how tenacious Shen Manjun is, it is difficult for her to bear the current predicament alone.
His father was assassinated, and Zhao Qingyun, who was absolutely loyal to his father, was also seriously injured. With powerful enemies like Ye Shiguan waiting around outside, and the ambitious Li Mubai secretly spying on her, Shen Manjun had no choice but to seek help from Xiao Zheng.
"Let's not talk about anything else. At least we are friends." Xiao Zheng said solemnly. "My friend is in trouble, and I have no reason not to help."
When Shen Manjun heard this, he didn't know whether he was happy or lonely, and said in a depressed tone: "Thank you."
Xiao Zheng shook his head gently, and after a moment of composure, he asked, "Did the doctor tell you when Mr. Zhao will wake up?"
"There is no definite time." Shen Manjun said with a sad look on his face. "It may take three to five days to wake up. It may also take a year and a half. The specific time depends on my father's recovery ability."
Perhaps because this time she was almost separated from Mr. Zhao, Shen Manjun no longer addressed Mr. Zhao directly, but put the word "father" on her lips. She clearly cared about Mr. Zhao very much in her heart.
Xiao Zheng, who grew up without a father or a mother, sighed in his heart, why he had to wait until he lost or was about to lose before he could appreciate something. Relatives are always relatives, why bother pretending not to care and drift away from your family members just for the sake of so-called face and dignity.
Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment, then continued a cigarette and raised his head and said: "Your father told me that Zhao Qingyun is brave and brave, but he can't hold a big position. Li Mubai is very deep in the city, but he is ambitious. Chen Chong is now kicked out by your father. So. Within the Zhao family, you need to be wary of Li Mubai."
"Where is it outside the Zhao family?" Shen Manjun asked.
"Ye Shiguan and Chen Chong." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said. "Now your father has fallen. These restless factors may cause your Zhao family to fall apart."
Shen Manjun condensed for a moment and said bitterly: "Before I was underage, I barely lived on the road for a few years. But I always relied on my father's protection, so others did not dare to go against me. If you really want me to manage the Zhao family, I will Firstly, I don’t have the interest, and secondly, I don’t have the ability.”
"Everything has a first step." Xiao Zheng said slowly. "If you don't even want to take the first step, how do you know if you can go on?"
When Shen Manjun heard this, he raised his head slightly and stared directly at Xiao Zheng: "My father said, he wants you to take over."
Xiao Zheng's expression changed, and he quickly lowered his voice and said: "If people outside know about it, even if they don't have this intention, they will be forced to rebel by this sentence."
Shen Manjun said stubbornly: "My father's things can be given to whomever he wants. What right does anyone else have to ask?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "The things belong to your father, but they were made with countless hands. There is no one in the Zhao family whose hands have been stained with blood for the foundation of the Zhao family. Don't say that they were given to me for no reason. To be honest with you, this outsider, even if it were given to you, the group of elders who followed Fourth Master Zhao to conquer the world, or your godbrothers, they might not be convinced."
"Then what should I do? Just watch the foundation built by my father collapse like this." Shen Manjun couldn't sit still and bit his lip.
"To put it bluntly. As long as your father is here, no monsters or ghosts from all sides dare to mess around. But now your father has fallen into a coma. Even if he wakes up, he will not be able to recover in a short while. The old lion still has his power, but the sick lion," Xiao Zheng said every word to punish his heart. "Not to mention jackals and tigers, even a guard dog would dare to go up and take a bite."
"So," Xiao Zheng said seriously. "Now that your father has fallen, you should stand up for both public and private matters. And only you are the legitimate heir. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not dare to attack easily. On the contrary, it is me,"
Xiao Zheng sneered, refilled his cigarette and said: "If you really listen to your father and push me up, I dare to guarantee you. In less than a month, the Zhao family will be in chaos. Does your father still have a chance to wake up?" , are all huge unknowns.”
When Shen Manjun heard this, his scalp went numb and his heart jumped with fear.
My father didn't even have a chance to wake up.
Shen Manjun's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
