Chapter 800: Chance Meeting (2)
Zhao Shunrong said nothing. He just nodded silently to signal for Zhao Youlin to continue.
Zhao Youlin hesitated for a moment. Even so, she explained the whole story clearly. “After I came back from abroad, I saw a document on my desk. According to my secretary, this document was sent to me not long after I went abroad. I checked the contents of the document and found that most of the contents were related to Zhao Youming.”
“How so?”
Zhao Youlin gestured at the documents. “It strongly suggested that the incident with An Yue was inextricably related to Zhao Youming. It was he who first knew that Yue Yue was pregnant and deliberately revealed it to Sun Fengzi.”
Zhao Shunrong basically understood what Zhao Youlin meant. “So... Zhao Youming is the perpetrator behind An Yue’s incident?”
“That document does point to it, but I wasn’t particularly sure, so I didn’t tell grandfather, you, or mom. On one hand, I didn’t want you to worry, and on the other hand, I don’t have any evidence. However, I did inform Big Brother, so that he would be more or less on guard.”
Zhao Shunrong nodded in understanding, indicating for Zhao Youlin to continue.
“After that, I asked someone to check the source of the express delivery, but unfortunately, the information on the express delivery was too vague, so there was no way to find out who sent it. I could only find out from the express delivery’s single number that the express delivery was actually sent from the city. At that time, I thought about who the most likely person to have some enmity with Zhao Youming would be, and the conclusion I came to was... Zhao Yifei.”
“You had someone check if Zhao Yifei had returned to the Sun family after he was chased out of the Zhao family. Do you suspect that he was the one who sent this document?”
Zhao Youlin nodded. “Sun Fengzi was used like a tool, and Zhao Yifei was simply, unlucky. He would definitely make use of our power to pull Zhao Youming down along with him. It’s not all that surprising. As expected, the people I sent to investigate on Zhao Yifei just only told me that after Zhao Yifei left the Zhao family, he didn’t return to the Sun family but stayed in the city. However, they haven’t found out precisely where he is.”
Zhao Shunrong was silent for a moment. He said in a deep voice, “Go ahead and investigate this matter. I will look into the details here. Zhao Youming may have been meticulous, but now that we know where to look, we can retrace all his movements. The person who sent the documents knows so much about our company. If we don’t find him sooner, it might come around to stab us in the back.”
Zhao Youlin was deeply moved. The father and daughter shared the same thoughts, but they did not know that Zhao Yifei, who they were talking about, had unfortunately become a part of someone’s plan by then.
It was late at night in a bar in Shalnork. The bar was indescribably lively and noisy. In a corner of the bar, Zhao Youming was alone. In front of him were cups and cups of beer. He continuously picked more cups and poured them into his stomach.
Zhao Youming inherited most of Li Hongyu’s beauty. In this era, he could be considered a beautiful man. Many girls beside him quickly took notice of him. They could not hold back their excitement and wanted to strike up a conversation.
However, Zhao Youming was not in the mood for a romance at the moment. Moreover, there was a thorn in his heart. The owner of this thorn happened to be a woman. Therefore, when the group of women came over to seduce him... he held nothing back and shouted at them, “Get lost, all you b*tches, all of you get lost!”
Who enjoyed being yelled at? Zhao Youming’s good impression in their hearts disappeared without a trace. A few girls with bad tempers stomped their feet, glared at Zhao Youming, and turned to leave.
This was the first thing Zhao Yifei saw when he walked into the bar.
He had originally come to this bar to look for someone, but when he saw Zhao Youming, it came as a pleasant surprise. When he saw Zhao Youming’s gloomy face and disheveled appearance, Zhao Yifei suddenly felt an indescribable joy in his heart. He raised his foot and walked towards Zhao Youming.
Zhao Youming suddenly felt a black shadow enveloping him. He thought another girl had come up to him to strike up a conversation. Without raising his head, he growled, “Get lost! All of you get lost!”
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him did not budge. Instead, he sneered and said, “Zhao Youming, I didn’t expect you to have such a day. How is it? It’s not good to fall from heaven to hell and become a street rat, is it?”
When he heard that familiar voice, Zhao Youming’s body trembled. He looked up and, as expected, met Zhao Yifei’s harsh and smug face. “Zhao Yifei?”
The smile on Zhao Yifei’s face became more and more profound. “That’s right, it’s me! Zhao Youming, how have you been?”
Zhao Youming had been in a bad mood, to begin with, so he had shaken off the police officers who had followed him and ran out to drink to drown his sorrows. Who knew that he would meet this hateful creature here. His mood became even more depressed. “You, why are you here?”
“Why can’t I be here?” Zhao Yifei leaned against the bar counter and put on an extremely leisurely posture, which was in stark contrast to Zhao Youming’s hunched, brooding posture.
“Although I’m no longer a member of your Zhao family, does the Zhao family own the entirety of Shalnork? I can go wherever I want. What can you do about it?”
Zhao Youming’s face darkened. He did not want to waste any more time with Zhao Yifei. He got up and wanted to leave.
But how could Zhao Yifei let him go just like that? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Zhao Yifei did not know how to seize this opportunity to make fun of Zhao Youming and vent his anger, he would really be a fool.
“Sigh, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. We’re brothers, after all. It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Why are you leaving so soon? Quickly sit down, quickly sit down.”
Zhao Youming was forcefully pulled back, and his expression only turned uglier. He looked at Zhao Yifei with a mocking gaze. “Brother? When did we become brothers now?”
Zhao Yifei naturally heard the sarcasm in Zhao Youming’s words, but he didn’t care much. “Isn’t that the case? Think about it. My mother is a murderer, and you’re a murderer. Aren’t the two of us brothers in mischief?”
When he heard the word ‘murderer’, Zhao Youming’s expression darkened. He looked at Zhao Yifei as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.
Zhao Yifei was delighted by his gaze. That was right. It was this kind of gaze. Being consumed by the desire to lash out, yet against all odds, you can’t. You did not have the ability, or the power, or the position to do you as you pleased. He could only silently accept the humiliation of others, like a fish out of water! Even sharks out of water were vulnerable!
