Chapter: 4608
As they were eating on the street, the clock family was rushing around like ants in a hot pot.
Tonight, Zhong Zhi's father, Zhong Yunqiao, is going to take Zhong Zhi to the home of Hong Yuanshan, the master of the Hongmen Gate, for a banquet.
But, Zhong Zhi went out in the afternoon and didn't come back until late, and his phone was also unreachable, which made him very anxious.
In recent years, with Zhong Yunqiao's business growing bigger and bigger, he actually wanted to get away from Hongmen Gate, but Hong Yuanshan is a clever person who wouldn't want to be used by Zhong Yunqiao like a pawn in his game.
Zhong Yunqiao also realized that Hong Yuanshan had already taken him as a cash cow, just like how he initially took Hong Yuanshan as his backer, and he didn't want to let go of the latter's money even if it meant death.
So, he could only think of ways to stabilize Hong Yuanshan.
Recently, Hong Yuanshan has made a profit from smuggling frozen meat, but due to the limited scale, he hopes Zhong Yunqiao can help him register an air cargo company and import goods from overseas.
In addition, he wants Zhong Yunqiao to invest in purchasing a batch of powerful speedboats for him to directly smuggle frozen meat inland through this channel.
To give Zhong Yunqiao no chance to refuse, Hong Yuanshan is prepared to put on his best behavior, inviting Zhong Zhi and his sons to dinner, and then proposing his requests at the dining table, hoping that even Zhong Yunqiao would be unable to refuse.
However, Hong Yuanshan waited at home for a long time without seeing Zhong Yunqio's shadow, and he felt somewhat annoyed in his heart.
He made one phone call and said, "Yunqiao! You're really out of control now! Even I can't keep up with you anymore! I'm waiting at home for you to come eat, but even until now, I haven't seen your shadow. What do you mean? Are you looking down on me, your father-in-law, and refusing my invitation? Hong Yuanshan won't let you get away with this! If not, I'll consider the help I gave you in the past as merely dog food, and we two will never have a thing to say again!"
Zhong Zhi knew Hong Yuanshan's tricks all too well.
However, Hong Yuanshan is a cunning and skillful schemer. He said that solely to lure him in.
He anticipated that he couldn't possibly borrow someone else's words to say "I won't see you again" and so intentionally showed weakness while firmly occupying the moral high ground.
From then on, he had no other choice but to apologize to Hong Yuanshan.
Zhong Yunqiao hastily said, "Old Uncle, how could I look down on you? You're my old uncle for a lifetime, and I owe all my success to your support!"
Hong Yuanshan asked, "Then why haven't you come yet? Not even bothering to say goodbye, overstepping the boundaries?"
Zhong Yunqiao quickly said, "It's not fair! I was supposed to leave an hour ago, but Xiao Tou went out in the afternoon and said he'd be back soon. But until now, he hasn't returned. I called him, but his phone has been unreachable. I'm worried something might have happened to him!"
Hong Yuanshan heard this and suddenly roared, "Damn it! Who dares to mess with my grandson? I'll crush his dog's head! Although I may not be a big shot in life, I'll give my old self up for my grandson! Yunqiao, don't worry. If anyone dares to hurt Xiao Tou, I'll definitely help you kill him!"
Hong Yuanshan is an old fox; he never says one thing without intending another.
He said so loudly and proudly, partly to reassure Zhong Yunqiao but mainly to strike a chord in him.
"What's outside is simple, I may be old but I'm still willing to play with fate. If you, Zhong Yunqiao, dare to mess around with me, I'll also play with you for real! You're just as cunning as I am, Hong Yuanshan meant what he said, and almost immediately understood the implications. However, he didn't have time to think about it then and quickly said, 'Uncle, won't you send some people to help me investigate? I'm really worried that Xiao Tou might get into trouble. He's never been out of touch before.'"
Hong Yuanshan spoke loudly and proudly, taking everything in stride. "Don't worry, Yunqiao. I'll take care of this matter. I'll send someone to track down Xiao Tou's whereabouts right away. Just tell me what time he leaves in the afternoon, and I'll have someone start looking from that moment on. We'll definitely be able to find his trail!"
Lei Chen and Liu Manqiong were almost done eating when they started cutting the cake. Meanwhile, Hongmen's younger brothers had already found Zhong Zitou's Lamborghini in an underground parking lot at Sham Shui Po.
At that time, Zhong Zitou was chasing after Lei Chen and Liu Manqiong with his friends, including Ugay Gao, but he thought he was being smart by not opening his Lamborghini because the car was too conspicuous. He feared that Lei Chen might discover him early on. JrNovels.com
