"Damn it, old man, you dare to set us up!"
The second brother cursed, having figured everything out.
The eldest brother's face was also grim.
Originally, they brothers had complete control of the situation, but now they had become extremely passive.
At this moment, even leaving was impossible.
Everything was as the white-haired butler had said; they couldn't leave and had to stay put.
They had to wait for people to arrive.
And only after the Zhao family outside had made some noise could they seize the opportunity to leave.
At this point, not only could they not threaten the old man's life, but they even had to protect his life!
If the old man were to meet an untimely end before the so-called King of the Town arrived, they would also be finished!
The white-haired butler paid no mind to the second brother's fury. The current situation was as it was; as long as Zhao Shijun did not return, his life was safe.
"A desperate gamble, Zhao Shijun! You forced my hand!"
Thinking that Zhao Shijun's fate might not be any better than his own, a sinister smile appeared on the white-haired butler's lips.
The people beside him clearly saw the smile on the white-haired butler's face.
At this moment, they were all extremely angry.
However, their anger and shame could only be contained. When the second brother, in his rage, wanted to beat up the old man to vent his frustration, he was stopped by the eldest brother.
"Alright, now we can only wait like this..."
"This is too infuriating!"
The second brother was still shouting.
The eldest brother reprimanded, "What nonsense are you spouting? It's the result of your greed. We are all greedy, and this is the risk we must bear!"
With the eldest brother's words, even though they were uneasy and angry, they could only hang their heads in dejection and wait anxiously.
The eldest brother turned to stare at the white-haired butler and said coldly, "I hope you've bet on the right horse, otherwise, you'll die a terrible death!"
The white-haired butler shrugged with a smile, appearing indifferent.
He seemed to be deliberately provoking them.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after Li Tianjiao hung up the call from Bai Zhuo, the Zhao family's butler, he looked at the documents in his hand and sneered.
With these materials and leverage, he could strike hard at the Zhao family.
Moreover, if that person were to find out about this, it would surely cause a huge commotion.
After all, that person hated evil like it was a personal enemy!
As he dialed the phone, a smile involuntarily curved on Li Tianjiao's lips, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Can't go on living?"
Ling Feng answered the phone, and his first sentence made the smile on Li Tianjiao's face freeze, his mouth twitching.
Then, Li Tianjiao spat, "Bah, what a jinx you are! They're just some demonic beasts that have just surpassed King-level monsters, and they're relatively easy to deal with. How could I possibly be defeated here?"
Ling Feng shrugged. He had just been joking. He also knew that even if Li Tianjiao were in real danger, he might not contact him.
However, this made Ling Feng even more curious about the purpose of Li Tianjiao's call.
Silence from both sides.
Three seconds.
It was still Li Tianjiao who couldn't hold back.
"Hey, aren't you curious why I'm calling you?"
"Need money?" Ling Feng asked back, giving Li Tianjiao no chance to breathe.
Li Tianjiao's mouth twitched again, "Nonsense, what money would I ask you for? Haven't I taken out a lot of money from my pocket recently?"
"I know. I've seen the ledger. You don't even have money for your dowry anymore, and you've even taken out your sister's dowry, haven't you? It's the first time I've seen you so generous! If you're borrowing money to eat, I can consider giving you a few hundred yuan."
Ling Feng teased.
His tone was relaxed and somewhat humorous, but in reality, Ling Feng was genuinely touched by this guy.
Because only Ling Feng truly knew how stingy this guy was!
How much of a money-grubber he was...
In times of national crisis, he was truly willing to spend money, even his dowry money.
"Don't mock me. My ideological awareness is not at the same level as yours. Alright, I'm here to give you money today, but let's be clear, I have a share in this money too!"
After spitting at Ling Feng, Li Tianjiao's expression turned serious, and a greedy smile appeared on his lips!
Ling Feng's eyes lit up!
"Oh? Robbing the landlord? Plundering the rich?"
Li Tianjiao was amused, "Haha, you're not wrong to say that. We've spent a lot of money recently, and there's a lot of profit in this!"
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
"Currently, at least some people will make half the profit, but I will try to retrieve this money and use it again!"
Li Tianjiao shook his head, "You're too naive, aren't you? This money, back and forth, can be turned into even more money by them. Forget it, let's get to the point. A new richest man has emerged in the capital recently. Have you looked into it?"
"The Zhao family?" Ling Feng had clearly gained some understanding of the situation after returning to the capital.
"That's right, it's this Zhao family. There's someone named Zhao Shijun. This guy has some skills. He's crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, kicking the donkey after it's served its purpose. Their Zhao family's butler just sought help from me..."
As Li Tianjiao explained all the specific details, Ling Feng's gaze became even sharper.
"Hmm, it's indeed interesting. Trillions in assets? That's worth a personal trip. I've really been needing money lately."
"Hey, hey... don't hang up yet!" Li Tianjiao called out anxiously to Ling Feng, sensing that Ling Feng was about to end the call.
"Don't worry, I won't forget your share," Ling Feng replied confidently, clearly thinking he had figured out Li Tianjiao's intentions!
"That's a given. I wasn't even planning to remind you. What I wanted to say is, I have some leverage over the Zhao family, especially Zhao Shijun. I need to send it to you so you have a reason to act!"
As Li Tianjiao spoke, he started operating his device.
Ling Feng, however, shrugged, "Do I need a reason to deal with them? It seems you're still too naive. If I want to convict them, who dares to object?"
*Hiss...*
Li Tianjiao gasped. Ling Feng's current dominance was incomparable to before!
"Ahem, aren't you a bit too overbearing?"
"Overbearing? Then send the information over. But, let's be clear, the money doesn't count later!"
*Beep beep beep...*
With Ling Feng's words, the phone was directly hung up.
Li Tianjiao was stunned.
After a long pause, Li Tianjiao finally came to his senses and cursed into the phone, "You stingy ghost!"
Despite his scolding, Li Tianjiao eventually sent all the information. This money still needed to be earned.
However, Ling Feng was the one doing the legwork, while Li Tianjiao was merely providing information. How much money he would ultimately get, Li Tianjiao dared not expect too much. It all depended on Ling Feng's conscience.
And at midnight, Ling Feng, along with Lin Shuaixian, Jin Gang, and Jin Tong, appeared before Zhao Shijun's hotel.
"Big brother, there's indeed a huge underground casino here. Damn it, that kid Zhao Shijun has quite a bit of nerve. How long has it only been a few days since he got the title of capital's richest man, and he's already so arrogant?"
