Chapter 67 Trash! They're all trash! Zhao 2 Gou is coming to Jiangcheng.
Beijing.
Outside the Jiang family villa.
Inside the black van, Zhao Ergou clutched his chest, which was still throbbing with pain, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
Just now in the tea room, he spat out blood in front of Jiang Manli. In order not to let her look down on him, he pretended to be calm and act as if it was nothing serious.
But only he himself knew how deep the backlash had hurt him.
Not only was his internal energy severely disrupted, but even the natal talisman his master had passed down to him had cracked. Without three months of quiet recuperation, it would be impossible for him to recover.
He studied magic under Liu Qingxuan for over a decade, and his career has been smooth sailing since his debut. He has been revered and addressed as Mr. Zhao by the elite circles of Beijing for many years.
I've never suffered such a huge loss or stumbled so badly.
"Useless! They're all useless!"
Zhao Ergou gritted his teeth and cursed, gripping his phone tightly with his fingertips. He found Jiang Cheng Qianlong's number and dialed it directly.
The phone was answered after only a couple of rings, and Qian Long's obsequious voice came through the receiver:
"Mr. Zhao? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Just let me know what you need, and I'll make sure it's handled perfectly for you!"
Qian Long's attitude towards Zhao Ergou was extremely respectful.
Three years ago, the Qian family's business ran into serious problems and they almost went bankrupt.
Fortunately, he met Zhao Ergou. It was thanks to the feng shui arrangement that Zhao Ergou set up for the Qian family that their business was revived, and they jumped from a second-rate family in Jiangcheng into the first-rate circle.
He knew in his heart that this Mr. Zhao from Beijing was a real expert, a living god, and the strongest patron the Qian family could rely on.
But his warm face was met with Zhao Ergou's cold indifference.
"How can I call you?" Zhao Ergou's voice was full of hostility.
"Qian Long, I'm asking you, what exactly happened with that chess piece I placed in Jiangcheng?! I asked you to keep an eye on Lin Wan and help me monitor the talisman array, and what was the result?"
The talisman array was broken, and I even suffered a severe backlash! What kind of service is this?!
Upon hearing this, Qian Long's smile froze on the other end of the phone, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
He had no idea what had happened!
Three years ago, Mr. Zhao asked him to keep an eye on a minor actress named Lin Wan, occasionally helping her pass things or relay messages, but he didn't ask her to do anything else.
A few days ago, he followed Mr. Zhao's instructions and had his men bribe Lin Wan's assistant to replace the pillow with the one containing the talisman array.
The whole process was done perfectly, so how could someone suddenly break the formation and even backfire on Mr. Zhao?
"Mr. Zhao! I'm so sorry! I'm terribly sorry! It was my fault for not handling things properly!"
But he knew Zhao Ergou's temper; he was the most unreasonable person, and no matter if he was right or wrong, he would admit his mistake immediately.
Realizing what had happened, Qian Long repeatedly bowed and apologized into the phone, his voice filled with trepidation.
"I'll investigate immediately! I'll take people to investigate right now! I'll find out who dared to break your plan and give you an explanation! Please give me another chance!"
He had no idea who did it, not even a clue, but the most important thing now was to calm Zhao Ergou down.
Otherwise, if this living god gets angry, the Qian family's meager wealth wouldn't be enough for him to crush.
His father knew he had angered Mr. Zhao and decided he wouldn't let him off the hook.
He's been staying home quietly lately, trying to please his father, and finally managed to calm him down.
He didn't want to be locked up again or anger his father, who might then use an alternate account to try and take the family fortune from him!
Zhao Ergou snorted coldly, his anger undiminished:
"Investigate? By the time you find out, it'll be too late! Let me tell you, Qian Long, this isn't going to end so easily!"
I've been working on this scheme for three years, and it's all been ruined. I have to settle this score!
"Yes, yes, yes! We must calculate it clearly!" Qian Long quickly responded, continuing the conversation.
"Mr. Zhao, please calm down. Whatever you say, I'll do it! I'll go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!"
"What should we do?" Zhao Ergou gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"I'll be heading to Jiangcheng the day after tomorrow. Your Qian family, get ready to welcome me. I want to see just who you are, daring to disrupt my plans and the arrangements my master made!"
Anyone who dares to attack him and injure him will not be let off easily.
He must personally go to Jiangcheng, find the person who broke the formation, and make them pay a bloody price in order to salvage the situation and recover from his injuries.
When Qian Long heard that Zhao Ergou was coming to Jiangcheng in person, he was first stunned, then overjoyed, and his voice trembled.
He was just worried about where to get revenge on Shen Yu!
He hated Shen Yu with a passion because of their past grievances, but Shen Yu had Lu Zongming and Qin Zhengxiong backing him up, making him all-powerful in Jiangcheng.
He was no match for them and could only swallow his pride and suffer in silence, not even daring to think of revenge.
Now things are great! Mr. Zhao is coming to Jiangcheng in person!
This is a living immortal with real skills. Let alone one Shen Yu, even ten Shen Yus would be no match for Mr. Zhao's magic!
His chance for revenge has finally arrived!
"Mr. Zhao! You're coming to Jiangcheng? That's wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"
Qian Long's voice was filled with barely suppressed joy.
"Don't worry! I'll take care of everything for you in Jiangcheng! Top-tier villa, luxury cars, servants—I'll arrange everything perfectly for you! I guarantee you'll have a comfortable stay!"
He paused, then quickly added:
"By the way, Mr. Zhao, I can roughly guess who the person who broke the formation was! It's probably a kid named Shen Yu!"
"This kid is very arrogant in Jiangcheng. He has Lu Zongming and Qin Zhengxiong backing him up. He is usually arrogant and loves to meddle in other people's business!"
"Besides him, no one else has the guts or the ability to break your plan!"
Although he had no evidence, he subconsciously blamed Shen Yu for the incident.
Regardless of whether it was Shen Yuqian's or not, he took this opportunity to have Mr. Zhao help him deal with Shen Yuqian, settling both old and new scores!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ergou's eyes flashed with even more ferocity:
"Shen Yu? Is that the man Miss Jiang mentioned who protected Jiang Xinlan?"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's him!" Qian Long quickly responded.
"That kid is incredibly arrogant, he doesn't respect anyone at all! Mr. Zhao, since you're coming to Jiangcheng, I'll make sure to prepare all the information about this kid for you, down to the smallest detail!"
Zhao Ergou came here not only to find the person who would turn against him, but also to deal with the two potential threats, Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan, for Jiang Manli.
Seeing that Qian Long had taken the initiative to mention Shen Yu's information, he naturally agreed without hesitation.
"Okay. I'll arrive at Jiangcheng Airport the day after tomorrow afternoon. I need to leave all the documents at my place before I arrive. I want to see just how much this Shen Yu is capable of, daring to play tricks on me."
