Zhao's old house.
Zhao Qizhen was sitting in the living room, the TV was turned on loudly, but the old house was still very empty. There are a lot of documents in front of him, and the lawyer he contacted just left, the housekeeper came over at this moment, brought him a cup of hot tea, "Fourth Young Master, let's rest first."
"Well, I'll take another look." Zhao Qizhen has never read these materials, or his understanding of the law is very simple. But what Zhao Yao said was right, it was useless for him to ask anyone for this matter, because no one was willing to help him in this critical period, so he could only find a lawyer and figure out a solution by himself.
Seeing Zhao Qizhen's appearance, the butler didn't bother him anymore. He packed up his things, and accidentally saw the servant at home walking out with something in his hand, he paused for a moment and then walked up to the second floor.
In the past few days, because his wife Bai Chengxue was taken away for investigation, the old house has also become quiet. The youngest and youngest seldom go home because of work, and the fourth youngest goes out all day. Even the servants in this old house are showing signs of laziness . Based on the butler's many years of experience in the Zhao family, this kind of tranquility is often the most terrifying, because anything can come quietly.
For example, two hours ago, the young master suddenly sent more security personnel near the old house, and the whole old house was put on guard without anyone noticing. Zhao Qizhen in .
The servant had already walked into the courtyard, and the person who was communicating with him was the person in charge of daily purchases in the old house. This person had stayed in the Zhao family's old house for many years, and he was usually an honest and peaceful person, but now he was biting Smoke, even the face also brought a bit of seriousness.
The butler stood on the balcony and watched for a while. When he was about to call Zhao Changshuo, he accidentally saw a maid coming up from the second floor. She didn't back away when she saw him, but walked straight over, "Butler, I have something to say to you." you say… "
Zhao Qizhen looked at the information to no avail. When he picked up the tea, he found that the tea was already cold. He was about to call for someone to change a cup. When he looked around, he found that today's old house is extremely quiet. Usually there are servants waiting near the living room, but today There was no one around, not even the sound of gardening outside the window on weekdays.
It's a little too quiet.
Zhao Qizhen was keenly aware of what was wrong, and was about to find someone to ask about the situation, when he saw a maid hurried over, and immediately said to him: "Si Shao, I hope you will come with us now, the housekeeper is already here The garage is waiting for you."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Qizhen wanted to lose his temper when he saw this, "What about the others, why didn't I see others."
The servant even prepared all the luggage for Zhao Qizhen. Seeing that Zhao Qizhen was a little suspicious, she immediately said: "The news of the old chairman's death will soon come back to China. It is not safe for you to stay in the old house now. We need to change places."
After she finished speaking, she took out a copy and added: "Don't worry, we are not Zhao Zhikai's people. We took you away this time to protect your safety."
"What do you mean? My father is dead?" Zhao Qizhen was skeptical at first, but when he saw the copy that the maid took out, his face suddenly changed.

In the group, many people gathered around Zhao Zhikai's office.
Zhao Zhikai looked at the confidant who had just come in to report: "I just told me about Zhao Changshuo's going abroad, what about the others, his subordinates are all in the country, right?"
"They are all here, and it seems that the young master has other arrangements. Several project teams that are in operation have an emergency meeting. It seems that the young master is ready to do something." After finishing speaking, the confidant said: "There is also news from Huang Wenjun, young master If we really cooperate with you three young masters, do we still have to follow the original plan now?"
"What about Zhao Qizhen, letting Zhao Changshuo go abroad first has already missed the opportunity. Let Zhao Qizhen be controlled first." Zhao Zhikai frowned. He just received the news of his elder brother's death, and before he could make arrangements, Zhao Changshuo had already left the country.
And to his surprise, how did Zhao Changshuo know about his eyeliner staying abroad? This time, the news could have come out ahead of time, because his eyeliner was intercepted by Zhao Changshuo's people, which was only a few hours late. He thought that Zhao Changshuo's hands were only in the country, but he didn't expect that he had already planned the layout, and the delay in the news was enough to show that he had missed the opportunity.
The other high-level executives looked at each other, and one of them said: "Mr. Zhao, shall we still come according to the original plan?"
Zhao Zhikai frowned, "No."
He had only received news from Huang Wenjun not long ago that Zhao Yao still had Zhao Changshuo as his backup, if he wanted to deal with Zhao Changshuo, he had to cut off his external aid first, Zhao Yao was a difficult person. Zhao Zhikai didn't think that Zhao Yao would become one of his biggest threats before. After all, this child was manipulated by him since he was a child, and he knew what Zhao Yao was thinking.
But at what point, his plan went awry.
"boss-"
There was a knock on the door, and then a person walked in with an anxious face, as if he had encountered a major event.
When Zhao Zhikai saw him, he paused: "Where's Zhao Qizhen?"
The face of the person who came in was pale, "I made an agreement with the people in the old house today. I originally planned to take Si Shao Yao away, but when it was time to buy it, we found out that Si Shao was taken away in advance."
"Who can take away people under your nose, the people arranged by Zhao Changshuo?" Zhao Zhikai stood up abruptly.
The man explained: "We are all watching the elder and younger. Our arrangement this time was not discovered. The only car that got out during that period was the housekeeper's car. We suspect that the fourth young master got out in the housekeeper's car."
"It's not the person Zhao Changshuo arranged..." Zhao Zhikai thought about this sentence, and his face suddenly changed: "Is it Zhao Yao? When did he arrange someone in the old house?" And the housekeeper of the Zhao family's old house, this oily and salty person Jin, he has found many opportunities to win him over these years, but this old housekeeper is still the same as before, and he didn't listen to anything. How could such a person help Zhao Yao take Zhao Qizhen away
"Then boss, how do we arrange it now?" Others were also a little anxious when they heard this situation. The positions of the camps were originally restraining each other, and there was still the old chairman at the top. Now that the old chairman left, what would they want to do? It is absolutely impossible to live in peace any longer. If Zhao Changshuo is in power, Zhao Zhikai's relatives will never let them go easily.
"Zhao Yao..." Zhao Zhikai gritted his teeth, it was Zhao Yao again.
He paused for a while and then said: "Keep an eye on Zhao Yao, and seize the opportunity for him to place an order."
The confidant's face was a little ugly when he heard the words, "Boss, it's not that we don't want to be with the third young master, but we are not sure about the third young master's recent itinerary. After following those people who went to the supermarket yesterday, we will go back to the third young master's residence to guard In the end, I didn’t see Third Young Master come back until midnight.”
"What do you mean? Zhao Yao is missing?" Zhao Zhikai's expression changed.
The confidant nodded with difficulty: "We went to Huihua Culture, but we didn't find anyone. We even paid attention to the residence of the third young master's friend Pei Mingzhan, but we didn't see anyone going back. The third young master's itinerary, we took No more."
Zhao Zhikai's face was gloomy, and it was absolutely impossible for Zhao Changshuo to make such a comprehensive arrangement for Zhao Yao in a short period of time, that is, Zhao Yao had predicted what would happen in advance, so he prepared in advance. How is this possible? Zhao Yao had been away from the group for a while, and Huang Wenjun was watching his team all the time. If there were any rumors from Zhao Yao, it was impossible for him not to know.
Is Huang Wenjun a cover
That's unlikely, Huang Wenjun's resume was carefully screened by him, and Zhao Yao also screened out many of his people at the beginning, and the team is still operating normally, if Huang Wenjun is found out, he will never With the development of the current situation, there is another possibility that Zhao Yao's establishment of this team was a cover from the beginning to the end, in order to draw all his attention to the team and neglect other aspects.

night.
In the business room of the hotel, Zhao Yao temporarily requisitioned Pei Mingzhan's notebook and is now in contact with EV. He entrusted EV to do a second-hand investigation, to re-check the various businesses that Zhao Zhikai belonged to. In addition to what he knew before, he also found out a lot of evidence that he accepted bribes.
EV: Who is the person who gave you these materials? If there is no way for him to remind you, I would not have thought to check this.
EV: You dug out your second uncle’s things that were hidden so tightly. When are you going to shake them out? This will put him in prison, right
Zhao Yao downloaded the information given by EV, and some of the information was in hard copy, but EV's ability to check it so carefully also shows that his memory has not regressed. These were all found out in advance when he was dealing with Zhao Zhikai in his previous life. Some of the information even took several years to find out the clues. Safe to hold in hand.
But the main thing is thanks to EV, he usually checks entertainment news and has a sharp eye, some things are really thanks to him for finding out.
Zhao Yao: You are also amazing, these things are not easy to check.
EV: It’s still thanks to the channel provided by your big boss. The breakthrough this time is the third child raised by your second uncle outside. The entertainment industry is still involved in many circles. Some scandals are easy to investigate as long as there is a channel. Your second uncle probably didn't expect to fall on a woman.
Halfway through the chat between the two, Zhao Yao received a call from his confidant. After listening to the other party, he said: "Arrange Zhao Qizhen to go to the place I originally planned, and trouble the housekeeper to avoid the limelight during this time."
During this period of time, dealing with Zhao Zhikai involved a wide range of issues. Before Zhao Changshuo came back, he had to at least stabilize the domestic situation so as not to harm the people around him.
The confidant said: "We have made arrangements here, Zhao Zhikai seems to have started to check the team, he may suspect Huang Wenjun."
Zhao Yao knew Zhao Zhikai's character. Once Zhao Changshuo went abroad, Zhao Zhikai would discover these methods soon. If there are still doubts about the news going out, then it will be convenient for them to play tricks.
"Well, I know, when he bites the bait, he will close the net." Zhao Yao turned his head slightly to look at the bustling lights of the city outside, "You pay attention to safety, Uncle Wang also told him not to go out for a few days."
Zhao Yao hung up the phone, finished the conversation with EV and sat on the rattan chair beside him, and then he was free after sending messages to others.
He closed his eyes slightly, and went over the possible future moves of Zhao Changshuo and Zhao Zhikai in his mind. From the incident abroad to the subsequent infighting, he had fought with Zhao Changshuo for more than half a year in his previous life before he could get a result. less loss. But in this life, Zhao Changshuo has more bargaining chips in his hands. If Zhao Changshuo were to fight with Zhao Zhikai, and he was behind the push, it shouldn't take too long to solve this matter.
Zhao Yao found that he had been thinking about a lot recently. Although he didn't take Zhao Zhikai seriously, it was always a hidden danger. He is not alone by his side now like he was in his previous life. Uncle Yao Bai is still there, and now there is Pei Mingzhan...
A few more messages popped up on the phone, which was a list of messages sent by other people.
Zhao Yao glanced twice, made sure there was nothing else to do, and then turned to other news. Zhao Changshuo only left him a few words before leaving the country, which probably meant to let him pay attention to protect himself, and wait for him to come back. It was only a matter of time before this news got out. The death of the chairman of the Zhao Group was big news on the bright side. The more accurate the timing, the more likely it would be to suppress Zhao Zhikai.
The room was very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of text messages was heard.
Zhao Yao came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and then let out a breath slowly.
Don't think too much, or you won't be able to sleep at night. He quit the software, randomly clicked on a few apps to watch the news and prepared to divert his attention, then he habitually entered the forum page, and received a text message from a netizen just after he entered.
He hasn't added many people to the X water forum, and the better chat is with the "no matter how bald there is, his wife hurts" when he met at the beginning.
This is the person who sent him the message. The message was sent the day before yesterday, and he only noticed it today.
The content is also a simple greeting, and on the other hand, it is a question about the post he sent in the communication forum. Netizens on the Xshui Forum are always very enthusiastic, answering all questions, coupled with the small circle, it is easy to be answered by familiar netizens after posting a few posts.
Even if you are bald, your wife will still hurt you: Brother, I saw your post a few days ago, are you going to live with your boyfriend
Zhao Yao remembered the post he posted a few days ago. Because of the house decoration problem, he posted a question about #同住产品购买#, and received many comments from netizens. This friend of his just sent him the precautions for cohabitation and purchasing issues.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: [Compilation] Someone posted it before, you just check it out. Then remember to watch some videos or novels before doing business, to build up your interest.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: Hey, what am I talking about, you know everything, my brother wishes you happiness in advance.
Zhao Yao paused slightly when he saw this, and typed to ask: Do you have an address
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: Don't you
Zhao Yao answered truthfully: I did not.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts:? ? ? ? ? ? No, bro, so you've been on the forum for so long, and you don't even have this video
Zhao Yao was a little silent, but he really didn't. Regarding the relationship, he prefers to do it step by step. From falling in love to getting married is a relatively long process. It takes time to settle.
He reads a lot of books and guides. When dating, he should consider the two people's personalities and concepts. If the co-production can develop into a romantic relationship, then further consideration should be given to emotional cultivation. Appropriate and appropriate time precipitation can avoid the emergence of emotional crises.
So the strategies he read on the forum are all step-by-step strategies from each stage. He knows that more intimate relationships will occur in the process from falling in love to getting married. I glanced at it roughly, but didn't discuss it in depth.
No matter how bald, there is still a wife who hurts: [a string of URLs] I am convinced too, look at this.
Just when Zhao Yao wanted to save it, another message popped up on the screen.
Even if you are bald, your wife will still hurt you: Damn, it’s wrong, you men are not suitable for this.
Five minutes later, he sent another message.
No matter how bald, there are still wives who hurt: [Link A] This is for watching Xiao Huangwen, [Link B] This is for watching videos, you are welcome!
Zhao Yao politely said thank you, then saved the two links, and clicked on the address of the first link first. As soon as I opened it, I saw a list of articles facing me, and there were various article categories neatly next to it. In his previous life, he also read novels in college, but he didn't understand the various categories in this website.
It was a bit late, so Zhao Yao clicked on a category at random and picked the top one.
After ten o'clock, the door of the hotel opened. Pei Mingzhan walked in with some supper, and saw Zhao Yao sitting by the window playing with his mobile phone, so he said: "Today, there are several people staying in my company, you You guessed right, they're all looking for you."
The stalking incident just happened yesterday. Pei Mingzhan originally planned to send Zhao Yao home, but after Zhao Yao came out of the lounge in the afternoon, he asked him to find a way to book a hotel nearby, preferably in a more secretive place. Pei Mingzhan immediately understood the intention of Zhao Yao's move. He asked someone to contact a hotel in Pei's family privately, and then took Zhao Yao to live in it temporarily.
When he went home to pack his clothes, he found someone squatting where he lived. Although Zhao Yao didn't say this clearly, these people obviously couldn't find Zhao Yao, and they had already tried their best to find him.
Pei Mingzhan walked in and saw that he was looking at the phone seriously, and reminded: "What are you looking at, so serious?"
"I'm reading a novel." Zhao Yao came back to his senses, saw the supper in his hand, slightly silently recalled what Pei Mingzhan said just now, and then said: "They should look for it for a while, you In fact, you don’t need to come here, it’s quite troublesome to go back and forth.”
It wasn't that urgent for the other party to follow Pei Mingzhan. At most, they would squat under Pei Mingzhan's company, and the apartment had already withdrawn their staff. Zhao Yao received the news today and found that the other party had already focused on Huihua Culture and Yao Bai. He also reminded Yao Bai to ask his parents to reduce the time to go out these few days.
Zhao Zhikai's madness is indeed unpredictable, but it is really troublesome for Pei Mingzhan to get rid of people every time he comes here.
"Huh? I thought you didn't hear what I said when you read things carefully." Pei Mingzhan put the supper on the table, "This is Pei's hotel. I occasionally come here for a short stay when I work overtime late. The discovery may not be leaked, not to mention our relationship has not yet been known, Zhao Zhikai has no need to risk offending the Pei family to investigate me."
He opened the supper, "Do you want to eat it? I heard that you didn't eat much at night."
After staying in the hotel, Zhao Yao didn't go out much today, and he asked someone to deliver the three meals, but the waiter who took the plate said that Zhao Yao didn't eat much tonight.
Zhao Yao ate a bit too much at noon, and hadn't digested it at night. He smelled the smell of supper and still had no appetite, so he said simply: "I'm full at noon."
"Then don't sit down, stand up and walk around, tell me in advance what you need to do." Pei Mingzhan didn't look like he was overly anxious, and he was still free to read novels, it seemed that he was thinking too much.
Thinking of this, he was a little puzzled. He knew that Zhao Yao liked to watch TV dramas, but why did his interest shift to novels recently
Has the interest shifted? What aspect of novels does he like most
While thinking about something, Pei Mingzhan noticed that there was no hot water in the kettle beside him, "Where is your medicine bag?"
"Outside suitcase." Zhao Yao put away other things on the desktop and made a place for Pei Mingzhan to work.
He saw that Pei Mingzhan seemed to have brought back his office notebook in addition to the supper. It should be that the company's affairs had not been dealt with yet.
Soon, Pei Mingzhan washed him a sleep aid pack and put it on the table, "I'll leave the medicine for you first, and I'll take a bath first."
Zhao Yao nodded, seeing his boyfriend arrange other things in an orderly manner, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, the more he gets along with Pei Mingzhan, the more he will find that he is well taken care of from beginning to end, This frustrated Zhao Yao's self-esteem a bit. He was obviously older than Pei Mingzhan, but he had to be taken care of by his young boyfriend.
The room suddenly became quiet again, Zhao Yao stared at the steaming teacup in front of him, but thought of something else in his heart. It wasn't until the phone in his hand vibrated that he came back to his senses. When he turned on the phone, he saw the content of the novel on the page.
I just clicked on it and read the beginning, it seems to be about the background of the plot, it is from a wealthy family, the protagonist is a man, and now he is forced to marry into a wealthy family because of some strange contracts.
Although the background of the story is a bit lacking in reality, it is normal for the novel to be more fantasy.
Zhao Yao found that his recent tastes are also a bit picky. I don't know if it's because he has watched too many serials. He is also a little particular about the plot when he reads a novel.
But didn’t his netizen share this website with him to say that it was relevant content, why he didn’t see the description of that content after seeing it... But the opening chapter is indeed the introduction of the background of the plot, some settings are a bit unconstrained, and the values are also different. There are certain problems, but the novelty is the most important thing.
[The dark room has a slightly ambiguous light, layers of orange light shine down, and the sound of water in the bathroom is very clear...]
Zhao Yao frowned slightly. When he saw this description, on the other side of the hotel room, the sound of the shower in the bathroom fell.
When Pei Mingzhan came out of the shower, he saw Zhao Yao sitting by the bed with his head down and playing with his mobile phone.
The posture of hanging his head was very cute, and the loose pajamas looked a bit thin. He just sat on his side slightly, which made Pei Mingzhan feel a little itchy throat.
The lights in the room suddenly seemed too dazzling, Pei Mingzhan reached out and grabbed the coat hanging on the side.
But Zhao Yao tilted his head slightly when he heard the movement, and before he could speak, he was covered with a coat. The hand that touched him radiated heat, and the fragrance of mint after bathing wrapped him slightly. He saw Pei Mingzhan dressed in The bathrobe, the hair was wet, and the water droplets dripping from his hair just hit his face steadily.
