Life is short, how many more three years can be wasted like this? Zhao Ziru's body stiffened slightly, and then she looked at her grandfather and found that most of his hair had turned white. She felt a little sad and gritted her teeth and said, "We can announce the engagement date in three months."
Zhao Xuan said nothing, and there was no joy on his face, but he sighed deeply. Because he understood what Zhao Ziru meant, she wanted to wait another three months until the wedding date was announced. If Li Long really cared about her, he would come back before the engagement party, otherwise everything would be a foregone conclusion.
The news spread the next day. The Yan family was a big family in China, and the Zhao family was not a small family either. After being broadcast several times, the whole of China was in an uproar.
The news also spread quickly in the entertainment industry, and in less than a day, everyone knew about it.
Zhao Donglai knew it very quickly. He was drinking tea, but a mouthful of water got stuck in his throat and he almost passed out. He always knew that the Zhao family had the support of the Yan family, so they could hope to become one of the three major families in Haizhou City. If it weren't for the Yan family, I'm afraid he would have been unable to hold back and took action.
Now that the two families are married, it means that the Zhao family is even harder to remove. He slammed the table and said angrily: "This old guy Zhao Xuan really does everything to survive."
Zhao Hu beside him also frowned, looking quite solemn. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Why get angry? Although the Zhao family has secured the support of the Yan family, we have almost controlled Ye Qiushan, so we are not losing momentum."
Zhao Donglai exhaled slowly, and was sobered up by Zhao Hu's words. He immediately ordered: "You should deal with this matter now and try to control as much of the Ma family's inheritance as possible. Ye Qiushan is not a pushover either. We can't let him rely on the mountain, otherwise it will be difficult for our Zhao family to make a breakthrough in Haizhou."
Zhao Hu was always decisive in his work. He left in a hurry after answering. Zhao Donglai picked up the phone, dialed the number, and said with a smile: "Mayor Liu..."
Long Xiangtian had not heard about this matter yet, but at night, Du Ruo found him about this matter. After Long Xiangtian learned about it, his expression was very solemn. He slumped on the sofa, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Brother Fei, is she really willing?" Long Xiangtian asked himself, but he didn't get any answer. However, in his heart, he already knew clearly that it was impossible for Zhao Ziru to be willing.
Du Ruo asked in confusion: "Who are you talking to?"
Long Xiangtian came back to his senses, glanced at Du Ruo, and said, "I think it must be Li Long who put pressure on me from behind. I really have no idea what to do about this matter."
No matter how powerful Long Xiangtian is, he is just one person. Facing the absolutely powerful force of the Yan family, how could he have any chance
Du Ruo naturally understood Long Xiangtian's situation and frowned, "I remember you said that you were here to protect Zhao Ziru for a friend. What is the relationship between your friend and her?"
"They are a couple." Long Xiangtian said it very bluntly without hiding anything.
Du Ruo nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Then your friend should come forward to stop it."
Long Xiangtian shook his head, a look of frustration on his face: "He is no longer alive, there is no way to stop it."
If Li Long were still alive, how could he let Zhao Ziru suffer such a great injustice? He would definitely stand up and no matter what the road ahead was like, I'm afraid he wouldn't even frown. Thinking of this, Long Xiangtian clenched his fists and said, "I must stop it."
Du Ruo did not speak immediately, but waited until Long Xiangtian calmed down a little before saying, "In fact, have you ever thought that since your friend is gone, it would be a good choice for Zhao Ziru to marry into the Yan family. Who knows, maybe this is also what Zhao Ziru wants?"
Long Xiangtian listened and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "She wouldn't do that. I'm afraid there must be something else going on. I have to go see Zhao Ziru and ask her clearly."
"Are you really going to see her?" Du Ruo frowned and continued, "You have to think it over. If you show up now and let Li Long know that you are still alive, he will not let you go easily."
Long Xiangtian had expected this a long time ago. Although he was still a little wary of the Yan family, since his name was Long Xiangtian, he would never be timid in doing things. He snorted coldly, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm going to die anyway."
Du Ruo did not say anything to stop him. He watched Long Xiangtian walk out. He could only look at his departing back, shook his head and sighed, "Why should I follow you?"
There are many things in this world that happen for no reason. Long Xiangtian didn't know why he had to stop it. Li Long was no longer alive. Zhao Ziru had the right to pursue love, but he didn't know why he couldn't accept this fact.
The only thing that could convince himself was that it was not worth it for Li Long. They loved each other, but they had to suffer the torture of being human and ghost. Li Long could not let go of Zhao Ziru even before his death, but she wanted to marry someone else. Long Xiangtian could not accept this.
So he had to get things clear, at least to get an explanation for Li Long. If Zhao Ziru knew about Li Long's death, then Long Xiangtian wouldn't care who she married. But he didn't know. She clearly knew that Li Long would come back, but she wanted to marry someone else.
No matter whether she did it voluntarily or was forced, Long Xiangtian just couldn't get over this hurdle.
When Long Xiangtian arrived at Zhao Ziru's villa, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Staring at the fluorescent light of the moon, Long Xiangtian easily climbed up the big tree, and with a few jumps he easily reached the balcony of the villa.
After a few days of rest, his injuries have almost recovered and the stitches can be removed in a few days. This height is not a problem for him at all. However, Long Xiangtian discovered that Zhao Ziru had locked the glass window of the balcony at some point.
Maybe because of the female thief, Zhao Ziru was more cautious and locked the door on purpose. Long Xiangtian fumbled around and found that it was locked from the inside. Even if he had the skills of a locksmith, he would have no way to use them.
This made Long Xiangtian a little annoyed, and he was ready to break the glass and get in. Just as he was about to do it, the glass window suddenly opened. At the same time, a figure suddenly stood up and punched him in the face.
Long Xiangtian cried out in surprise and teleported suddenly, barely avoiding the punch. However, the man's speed and reaction ability were far beyond Long Xiangtian's imagination. Just as he teleported away, before he could stand firm, the opponent kicked him in the air.
This kick was not fancy at all, nor was it graceful, but it was extremely swift. It did not give Long Xiangtian any room to fight back and suppressed him tightly.
Although this person is very skilled, he can be said to be the first master that Long Xiangtian met in Haizhou City.
Long Xiangtian had no time to think. He wanted to teleport to avoid it, but he hit the railing behind him. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he could only raise his arms to block it.
