"He's dead, he's dead too. Ha...haha...hahahahaha" With miserable laughter, Zhao Xin's eyes slowly lost their luster and she fell on the sofa.
Upon seeing this, Long Xiangtian quickly carried her to the room, put her on the bed, and took good care of her.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Xin woke up and saw Long Xiangtian sitting beside her bed and already asleep. She just wanted to wake up, but unexpectedly she woke Long Xiangtian up.
"You're awake! Come, have some porridge!" Long Xiangtian picked up the porridge he had just made and wanted to feed it to Zhao Xin.
"Let me do it myself!" Long Xiangtian was embarrassed for a moment and handed the bowl to her.
"You just said, could it be that Auntie..." Long Xiangtian asked weakly. He didn't want to ask at first because he was afraid of irritating her, but he couldn't help it.
"Yes! My mother also passed away a year ago!" As she spoke, tears flowed from the corners of Zhao Xin's eyes.
Long Xiangtian lowered his head, trying not to let his tears flow in front of Zhao Xin.
"Don't worry, since I promised the squad leader to take care of you, you are my real sister from now on, and I won't let anyone hurt you!" Long Xiangtian said in a loud voice.
Zhao Xin looked at the man and nodded.
"Why did those people come to cause trouble just now?" Long Xiangtian asked.
"They are Li Hao's men. A company under him wants to buy our old city area for reconstruction. They have obtained the official demolition permit, but they have repeatedly delayed paying the demolition fees. Where can we, the lower-class residents, find a place to live? If we don't move, they will come to our door every day to cause trouble. They are worse than animals!" Zhao Xin became more and more angry as he spoke.
"So that's how it is! Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it. You should have a good rest and don't go to work these few days. I'll come to see you tomorrow," said Long Xiangtian after listening.
"You can't beat them, so don't get involved in this mess. Li Hao has more than just a few thugs under his command!" Zhao Xin thought that Long Xiangtian was going to cause trouble in their company, and said anxiously.
"It's okay, I know what I'm doing. You should have a good rest!" Zhao Xin was silent.
After returning to the city, Long Xiangtian went straight to the door of Li Hao's company.
In an office, a burly man in a suit was yelling at a group of thugs covered in wounds, "Which blind bastard dares to go against me, Li Hao? Investigate it, investigate it carefully. If you can't find anything, you all don't have to come back!" After saying that, he lit a cigar, threw it to the ground, and stomped it out.
"No need to trouble Boss Li, the person they are talking about is me!" Long Xiangtian walked into the office calmly with a smile.
"Boss..." A gangster was about to complain to Li Hao, but unexpectedly Li Hao came up to him with a smile on his face.
"Isn't this Teacher Zhou? I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person! Haha!" Ever since he subdued Zeng Huayun in Tianyao last time, Li Hao has been very respectful to Long Xiangtian.
Long Xiangtian shook hands with Li Hao as the gang of hooligans stared in astonishment, "Boss Li, you're too polite!"
“Boss, he…” The leading gangster pointed at Long Xiangtian with a surprised expression.
"You are blind. This is Mr. Zhou, the general manager of Tianyao Nightclub whom I newly hired! Get out of here. If you fail to recognize your real talent again, watch out for your heads!" Li Hao shouted angrily.
The gang of hooligans was very depressed. They originally wanted the boss to help them save face, but they didn't expect that this Teacher Zhou who showed up out of nowhere even respected the boss so much. Realizing that they had offended the wrong person, the gang of hooligans walked out of the office without even raising their heads.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Zhou!" Li Hao said politely.
Long Xiangtian sat down and said, "Let me be frank. The reason I came here today is to hope that Boss Li can give up purchasing that piece of land. If Boss Li insists on purchasing that piece of land, then I hope that Boss Li can give those ordinary people enough relocation fees so that they can settle down somewhere else."
"Mr. Zhou, that's what you're talking about. No problem. Money is not a problem. I'll make the arrangements. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou!" Li Hao agreed readily. He was so willing because he didn't want to lose Long Xiangtian, the extraordinary leader who could keep the place in check. From the fact that he could easily subdue Zeng Huayun, it was clear that he was very powerful. If he could work under him, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"Boss Li is such a straightforward person. I, Zhou, would like to thank Boss Li on behalf of the common people!" After saying that, Long Xiangtian said goodbye to Boss Li.
After leaving the company, Long Xiangtian called Lao Hei.
"Hey! Lao Hei, do me a favor and find me a house in the city center. It doesn't have to be too luxurious, just something simple will do. I will pick up the monitor's daughter tomorrow."
"Have you found the squad leader's daughter?" asked Lao Hei on the other end of the phone.
"Um!"
"Okay, no problem, I'll do it right away!" After saying that, Lao Hei hung up the phone.
Long Xiangtian bought some food and took a taxi back to the old town.
Zhao Xin was still lying on the bed, and Long Xiangtian entered the kitchen carefully, fearing that he would wake her up. After finishing the meal, Long Xiangtian was about to bring the food to the living room, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Xin looking at him at the kitchen door, with a few tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Are you awake? Come, have dinner!" Long Xiangtian helped her sit down in the living room and brought the food over.
Zhao Xin couldn't hold back and burst into tears!
"What's wrong with you, my little aunt!" Long Xiangtian couldn't bear to see women cry.
"Since my mother passed away, no one has cared about me so much!"
"Be good and don't cry. Your brother is here for you. I will never let you suffer any grievances again!" Long Xiangtian said firmly.
Early the next morning, Long Xiangtian helped Zhao Xin pack her things and took her to find Lao Hei.
At the entrance of a villa in Lijin Garden, Dongcheng District, a Land Rover was parked. Lao Hei was leaning on the rear of the Land Rover and smoking. In the distance, a blue taxi slowly drove over and stopped at the entrance of the villa. Long Xiangtian got out of the car, and Zhao Xin followed.
"Old Black!"
"Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for a long time!" Lao Hei said with a smile and scolding.
"Oh, there was a traffic jam on the road, which delayed us a little! Come, let me introduce you! This is the squad leader's daughter, Zhao Xin!" As he said that, Long Xiangtian pointed at Zhao Xin.
"Hello, Zhou Guoqiang!" Lao Hei extended his hand to Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin smiled politely, stretched out her right hand and said:
"Zhao Xin!"
"Oh, the squad leader is so great. He gave birth to such a beautiful daughter!" Lao Hei said as he took the luggage from the taxi.
"Let's go in!" Lao Hei pointed to the villa in front of him.
"Didn't I tell you to just find a simpler house? Why don't you find me a villa? Let me be frank with you, I'm penniless now!" Zhou Wu looked at the villa and gave Lao Hei a wicked smile.
"Alright! You kid, I don't know how petty you are. I've already paid for the house, you can just live here without worry!" Lao Hei punched Long Xiangtian in the chest, scolding him with a smile. Lao Hei has been treated like a sacrifice by Boss Huang for the past few years, and he is a big shot in Jiangyuan City, so a villa is not a problem for him.
"I've been waiting for you to say this, haha! Xiaoxin, let's go and take a look at our big house!" With that, the three of them walked in with a smile.
As soon as I entered the door, Lao Hei's phone rang.
"I'm taking a call!"
Long Xiangtian ignored him, took the luggage from his hand and walked into the villa.
