However, with the support of the Zhao family, the Fifth Master is relatively safe for now. The most urgent task right now is to establish his prestige and clean up the current chaotic situation.
In this regard, Fifth Master was a man who was well prepared. He quickly stabilized the situation and had everything under control. Only after Long Xiangtian asked about the situation over the phone did he feel a little relieved.
"Why are you here?" Long Xiangtian frowned slightly when he saw Du Ruo. Although the Ma family no longer existed and the threat to Zhao Ziru was reduced, the female thief he met that night was clearly coming for the jade pendant and would obviously not give up. Du Ruo should protect Zhao Ziru, which was the most important thing at the moment.
After Du Ruo sat down and drank a sip of tea, he said, "I know you are worried about Zhao Ziru's comfort, but now you don't have to worry about it. Someone is protecting him."
Long Xiangtian was slightly stunned when he heard this and asked, "What's going on?"
Du Ruo glanced at Long Xiangtian before saying, "There's a bodyguard next to Zhao Ziru, and I know him." When he got to this point, he paused and continued, "It turns out he's from the Yan family, and he's Shen Han, who's ranked fifth on the thugs list."
"Shen Han? Someone from the Yan family?" Long Xiangtian was a little surprised and frowned, saying, "How could someone from the Yan family appear next to Zhao Ziru? Could it be..."
"What have you thought of?" Du Ruo couldn't help but ask when she saw Long Xiangtian looking thoughtful.
Long Xiangtian was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile and said, "Nothing, please keep an eye on Zhao Ziru's movements. I'm afraid that female thief won't give up easily that night."
Du Ruo had already thought of this problem, and nodded, "Don't worry, I will still pay attention to Zhao Ziru's safety. With Shen Han's protection, there should be no problem. Besides, not many people dare to make things difficult for the Yan family. I'm afraid this is also within the scope of Li Long's consideration."
Long Xiangtian felt a little relieved, but at this moment his cell phone suddenly rang. Ever since he was mistakenly thought to be dead, in order not to expose his whereabouts, Long Xiangtian changed his cell phone number. Only a few people knew this number. When he picked up the phone, he saw that it was Yunniang calling.
Zhao Donglai wants to see the Fifth Master
Long Xiangtian was a little confused. Zhao Donglai and Wu Ye had no connection to begin with. What was he up to at this critical moment? Long Xiangtian was really confused.
The Zhao family and the Ma family are the three major forces in Haizhou. Now the Fifth Master has replaced the Ma family. He has just arrived and has not yet established a firm foothold. I am afraid he cannot offend the Zhao family easily.
Although Long Xiangtian didn't ask about these issues, Wu Ye understood them clearly. After receiving Long Xiangtian's notice, Wu Ye agreed readily and agreed to visit Zhao Donglai together in the evening.
At six o'clock that evening, Wu Ye and A Zhi showed up at the Zhao Family Manor on time. When the two met, they stared at each other for a long time. Zhao Donglai chuckled twice and said, "Ye Qiushan, we met ten years ago."
Wu Ye was stunned for a moment. People outside called him Wu Ye. This name had been forgotten by people. He didn't expect Zhao Donglai to still remember him. Moreover, they only met once. He was somewhat flattered and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao still remembered a little person like me."
"You can't say that. Ten years ago in Haizhou, Fifth Master was very famous. How can you say he is a small figure?" Zhao Donglai said with a smile.
Ye Qiushan also smiled, glanced at the wine on the table, took the initiative to fill his own glass, picked it up and said: "Thanks to the old man for helping me this time, I toast to him with this glass of wine."
Zhao Donglai's eyes suddenly lit up. He was really excited when it came to drinking. He picked up the glass without any hesitation and drank it in one breath. Ye Qiushan would naturally not be slow either.
Zhao Donglai put down his wine glass, glanced at Long Xiangtian, and said with a smile: "You are really good, kid. I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect you to handle it so quickly. I really underestimated you."
Long Xiangtian just smiled, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said seriously: "By the way, although the Ma family no longer exists, Yunniang is still in danger. When Mr. Ma was dying, he mentioned a Tianlang killer organization. They have received the money, so they will definitely not stop like this."
"The Sirius Organization?" Zhao Donglai frowned, then said, "I have heard a little bit about it. Let me check their cards before making any plans."
Long Xiangtian nodded and said, "It is better to deal with this matter sooner rather than later. It will definitely affect Miss Zhao's comfort."
Zhao Donglai also understood this, and said with a smile: "Let's drink first, and put other things aside for now, and we'll talk about it later."
After three rounds of drinking, Ye Qiushan suddenly looked at Zhao Donglai and said, "Thanks to Mr. Zhao's help this time, I plan to give Mr. Zhao 5% of the shares of the properties under my name in the future as a token of my gratitude."
Zhao Donglai frowned when he heard this. Maybe it was because of drinking, his face was a little flushed and his words were a little unclear, but his heroic spirit was even stronger: "What are you talking about? This is not why I took action."
Ye Qiushan smiled and said, "This is a small gift from me. I hope you won't refuse it, old man."
Zhao Dong looked at Ye Qiushan for a while, then said with a smile: "Since Brother Ye insists so much, I won't refuse. From now on, we can call each other brothers. Just don't look down on me for being old."
Ye Qiushan quickly picked up a glass of wine and said, "This glass of wine is for the old man... Brother Zhao..."
Although Zhao Donglai is Yunniang's grandfather, he is only in his sixties. Apart from his body not being as good as it used to be, he does not look very old.
It was not surprising that Ye Qiushan called him "brother". It made him feel very happy. He had a broad smile on his face and drank more vigorously.
After all, time is not forgiving. Zhao Donglai got drunk soon. When Long Xiangtian and Ye Qiushan left the Zhao Family Manor, Long Xiangtian couldn't help but ask, "Are you just going to give away your shares like that?"
Ye Qiushan glanced at Long Xiangtian with a calm expression, and said with a smile: "I was able to return to Haizhou City, all thanks to Mr. Zhao, this little share is nothing."
Long Xiangtian forced a smile, because he knew that Ye Qiushan was not telling the truth. Zhao Donglai was not just trying to avenge Yunniang. Long Xiangtian only realized the trick behind this at this moment.
Ye Qiushan replaced the Ma family, and Zhao Donglai had contributed to this. Now, there is the brotherhood involved, and in addition to the control of shares, the strength of the Zhao family has greatly increased. At least it is no longer just a political or military strength, but has also entered the business world.
Zhao Donglai is really an old fox. Long Xiangtian admires him more and more. He vaguely feels that this old man has great ambitions, but Ye Qiushan in front of him is obviously not stupid either.
I'm afraid this was Zhao Donglai's real intention for inviting him to a banquet. Ye Qiushan was also a smart man. He had already made this plan when he received Long Xiangtian's call.
After returning to the mansion, Ah Zhi, who had been following him, could no longer hold back and said angrily, "Brother, are you just going to give him shares like this?"
Ye Qiushan let out a long breath, glanced at Ah Zhi, and said, "We can't compete with Zhao Donglai right now. The most important thing is to gain a firm foothold. Even if we give him 5% of the shares, it's nothing. I'm just afraid that if he doesn't give a penny, the Zhao family will make trouble behind our backs. It's better to be generous."
Ah Zhi seemed to be a relatively calm person, but he couldn't help but slap the table. After a moment of silence, he asked, "So what should we do next?"
Ye Qiushan thought for a moment and said, "First, we need to find out the original support forces behind the Ma family. We will give them all the dividends now. If they don't, we will have to double it. We should try to please them first."
Ah Zhi nodded and said, "This is the only way for now."
