Chapter 74: Pressure from all sides
Seeing his granddaughter leave without looking back and without any reluctance, he immediately shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"This girl, she really has a husband and has forgotten her grandfather."

"Now that you're here, why don't you just stay at home and take a nap before leaving?"

Ever since Ren Yuqing got married, Mr. Ren has been feeling conflicted.

Although she said that she wanted Ren Yuqing to go back and spend more time with her husband to cultivate their relationship, in her heart, he still wanted her granddaughter to stay.

Have a meal with me at home, chat with me, stay at my mother's house for a night, and keep this old man company.

After all, he had watched his granddaughter grow up, and now she suddenly got married and moved out. To be honest, Grandpa Ren was still a little uncomfortable with it.

It feels like there's a piece missing in my heart.

"Hey"

"Forget it, forget it. A girl cannot be controlled by her father when she grows up."

"It's better to go back and give me a great-grandson soon."

"When the time comes, I'll have my grandson to accompany me. Will I still bother with you?"

Mr. Ren is eagerly waiting for his great-grandson.

But the emperor is not in a hurry about this thing, so it’s useless for a eunuch like him to be in a hurry.

Let him do something he can do.

Not long after Ren Yuqing left, Mr. Ren picked up his phone and found a number in the address book.

"Brother Zhao, how are you these days?"

"There is something I need to ask you for help."

"I remember that Zhou Zhenglong, who has been very popular in Yuncheng in recent years, is your godson, right?"

Yuncheng City Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.

Zhou Zhenglong had just finished his treatment and was being helped back to his hospital bed.

At this time, Zhou Zhenglong's face was extremely swollen.

The doctor applied an ointment to reduce the swelling, but the redness and swelling on his face would not go away for at least ten days or half a month.

"Second Master, I have a dentist appointment for you tomorrow."

"Your two front teeth are badly broken. I'm afraid you'll have to extract them and replace them with new ones," said the nursing doctor.

Zhou Zhenglong's mouth hurt so much that he didn't want to talk.

However, his palms were clenched tightly, and there was unprecedented hatred and cruelty in his old eyes.

He waved his hand, signaling the doctor to leave.

At this moment, only two of his trusted subordinates were still by his side.

"Second Master, Third Young Master and Mr. Chen have already left by plane. We have conveyed your apologies and regards to Third Young Master. Third Young Master knows that you are injured and will not blame you for not seeing you off in person." The subordinate reported.

Zhou Zhenglong nodded, then looked at another person.

"Second Master, I have found the person you asked me to investigate."

"His name is Chu Ning. He currently works for a subsidiary of the Jinxiu Group called Jiayu Culture. He is a grassroots employee there, working as a bodyguard. He has military experience and is a veteran."

"As for his family, according to the household registration data, he was born in the countryside, his parents died early, and he only has one brother. He is also an ordinary person with no background at all."

After listening to the background investigation on Chu Ning, Zhou Zhenglong was undoubtedly even angrier.

Finally, with a bang, he slapped the fruit plate on the table over.

You bastard!

He never imagined that the person who beat him that night was just a country bumpkin with no background!

Zhou Zhenglong was a well-known figure in Yuncheng, but he was defeated by a poor boy from the bottom of society.

He deserves to die!

Who gave him the courage!
Zhou Zhenglong was so furious that he wanted to kill Chu Ning.

"Second Master, this bastard is unknown." "Before, Third Master Lu protected him, so we didn't dare to do anything."

“Now that the Third Young Master has left, there is no one to protect him!

"I'll take people to kill that brat right now!"

The subordinate said in a cold voice.

Zhou Zhenglong didn't say anything, but his face was gloomy and he was obviously thinking about whether to take action or not.

Should I take the risk of offending the Third Young Master Lu just to vent my hatred?

"Second Master, don't worry, I'll have my men do a better job."

"We must execute that brat without anyone noticing."

"Even if the Third Young Master suspects, he can't find any evidence, so it can't be blamed on you."

The subordinates continued to persuade.

Seeing that Zhou Zhenglong had been persuaded, at this moment, the phone rang.
Zhou Zhenglong took a look and was stunned.

It was actually my godfather calling?
Why is that old guy making a phone call instead of staying at home to enjoy his retirement and wait for death?
Zhou Zhenglong hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Godfather, how come you have time to call me?"

"Xiaolong, so you still remember me as your godfather. You haven't come to see me for more than a year. I thought you had grown independent and felt that I, your godfather, could no longer help you, so you had forgotten about me." An old man's voice came from the phone.

"What are you saying, godfather? No matter how high or far my son flies, I will still remember in my heart that it was you, godfather, who taught me how to walk." Zhou Zhenglong said politely.

"Okay, stop saying these nice things."

"Godfather called today for no other reason than to remind you."

"There is a man named Chu Ning. You'd better not deal with him. There are people behind him to protect him."

Zhou Zhenglong frowned when he heard this: "Who will protect him? The Jiangnan Lu family?"

Zhou Zhenglong subconsciously thought that it was a backup plan left by Lu Tianyuan.

"What are you talking about? What does the affairs of Jiangdong Province have to do with the wealthy families in Jiangnan? Naturally, the forces of Jiangdong will protect him. And this force is not weaker than you, and they have some knowledge. Don't risk your life's work for a moment of rage!"

The old man didn't say much. After giving a reminder, he hung up.

Zhou Zhenglong was so angry that he threw his cell phone to the ground with a bang.

The screen exploded and sparks flew.

"Okay, okay, that's how we play it, right?"

"You all treat my face as not a face, and my life as not a life!"

"A poor boy, a country bumpkin, can actually ride on my head and shit on it?"

Zhou Zhenglong was almost furious and roared angrily.

The men were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

Finally, one of his men mustered up the courage to stand up and said, "Second Master, give the order. As long as you give the order, I will let the corpse of that stinky boy float on Dongchang Lake tomorrow morning!"

"I'll kill your mother!" Zhou Zhenglong slapped the man in the face.

"Get the hell out of here!"

"Also, let's stop here. Tell everyone that my injury was caused by an accidental fall."

"If anyone leaks even a little bit to me, I will kill him."

"As for that brat, let's just count him as lucky this time."

Zhou Zhenglong finally chose to endure.

There was no way out. Before leaving, Zhou Tianyuan gave him a special warning and warned him that if he touched Chu Ning, he would suffer a miserable end.

In addition, godfather called again just now, and the meaning was very clear, there was a powerful force in Yuncheng protecting him.

The risk is too great!
When the benefits are far less than the risks, this business is no longer worth continuing.

However, Zhou Zhenglong just couldn’t understand how a poor boy, a small-time figure from the lower class, could have such great power that made two major forces compete to protect him?
