Chapter 709: The Counterattack of the Little People
The sudden attack caught everyone around Chen Tai off guard, even the usually capable bodyguards were confused. In fact, it was mainly due to the human's innate desire to seek good and avoid evil, so there was no way to rescue Chen Tai in the first place. The gang of thugs holding machetes became even more excited when they saw this situation.

Chen Tai, who was already stunned at this time, saw the machete getting closer and closer to him. The business tycoon who could shake the whole city with just a stomp of his feet had his brain frozen. Just when Chen Tai raised his arm to block it reflexively, a dusty construction worker suddenly appeared, picked up the shovel in his hand and blocked the attack of the gangster, which directly saved Chen Tai from the tragedy of dying in the northwest.

An inch longer is an inch stronger; an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. The machetes in the hands of the thugs were no match for the shovels in the hands of the construction workers. The offensive of all the thugs suddenly stopped. Although the thugs were surprised by the sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin, they soon launched another desperate attack on Chen Tai.

It was precisely because of this construction worker's dangerous and commendable resistance that Chen Tai's bodyguards around him had the opportunity to react and immediately began to pull Chen Tai, who was lying limp on the ground, away from here. This made the gang of thugs lose the best opportunity, and the bodyguards finally started the counterattack they should have done.

Seeing Chen Tai's bodyguards begin to counterattack them, the thugs knew that they could no longer complete their mission. The leader first looked at this "Cheng Yaojin" viciously, then turned and fled while shouting to the thugs, "Brothers! This is a tricky idea! Retreat!"

Chen Tai, who had regained his composure at this time, noticed his savior at first sight. The figure of the man holding a shovel and chasing the criminals was so majestic that Chen Tai, who had survived the disaster, couldn't help but feel surprised. At the same time, his bodyguards also seemed particularly funny and ridiculous.

"Hmph! Don't chase a desperate enemy. Come back!" Looking at the bodyguards who were bluffing and wanted to chase the criminals, Chen Tai suppressed his anger and said to everyone to stop them.

The bodyguards also felt embarrassed at this time. After all, their performance today was more than just poor, they were completely useless, so they could only stand aside in shame in response to Chen Tai's orders.

At this moment, Chen Tai was too lazy to pay attention to these "manure-making machines" because he only had eyes for the stupid strong man holding the shovel, and the expression on his face was full of admiration that could not be concealed. "Young man, what's your name?"

"Uncle Taitai, my name is Zhou Qiqiang." The stupid strong man finally reacted, quickly threw the bloody shovel in his hand away, and then stammered to answer Chen Tai.

"Oh? Zhou Qiqiang, you did a really good job today. I, Chen Tai, will definitely repay you." Chen Tai didn't care about Zhou Qiqiang's silly look at all. Instead, he felt surprised from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Tai, this is what I should do."

"Zhou Qiqiang, you must have heard that I, Chen Tai, have no children, so I want you to be my godson. I wonder if you are willing?" Looking at the somewhat silly southern man in front of him, Chen Tai suddenly had an idea.

"Ah? Godfather! I do." At this time, Zhou Qiqiang knelt down in front of Chen Tai in ecstasy. You know, this is the opportunity he has always dreamed of.

"Hahaha! Great! I, Chen Tai, finally have a son." Seeing Zhou Qiqiang in front of him being so knowledgeable and interesting, Chen Tai was completely surprised.

"Uncle Tai, congratulations!"

"Congratulations! Uncle Tai."

Listening to the endless congratulations from the staff around him, Chen Tai was completely surprised and lost himself. He then squatted down and looked into the eyes of his godson who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Qiangzi, from now on you are my son, Chen Tai. Daddy will definitely cultivate you well."

Zhou Qiqiang, knowing that he had finally changed his fate, became excited. He first took a few steps back on his knees, then kowtowed to Chen Tai in gratitude and said, "Dad, I, Zhou Qiqiang, will definitely take care of you in your old age."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Son, give Daddy a hug."

"Dad!"

Of course, Chen Tai knew who sent the group of people who attacked him this time, but he was not going to expose them directly. After all, this guy had a very deep background and connections, and he was so cruel in doing things, so Chen Tai was also very wary of this guy. Now Chen Tai could only swallow this loss in silence.

"Dad, who do you think sent these murderers?" Wu Ting asked Chen Tai with a puzzled look on her face while peeling an apple for him.

"Hmph! Who else could it be! It's that bastard Xu Tailang." Chen Tai, who had already seen through everything, immediately explained angrily.

"Ah? This bastard is too rampant, isn't he?" Wu Ting, who was peeling an apple at the moment, immediately widened her eyes in shock, feeling that Xu Tailang was really too crazy.

"Hey! Xu Tailang has been doing very well in recent years. I heard that he has found a new big backer in Hong Kong. He has long wanted to replace me." Chen Tai took the peeled apple handed to him by Wu Ting with a wry smile on his face, and then expressed his judgment helplessly.

"Dad, since Xu Tailang has already made his move, we can't give in. We must give him revenge." Thinking that Xu Tailang was also pressing her husband step by step, Wu Ting couldn't help but immediately add fuel to the fire.

"Forget it! Xu Tailang's background and connections are too deep, I can only swallow this loss temporarily." Although Chen Tai also wanted to kill Xu Tailang directly, he had to be wary of Xu Tailang's background.

"Dad, I'm worried that this will make Xu Tailang more and more crazy." Wu Ting couldn't help but reveal a very disappointed expression.

"Hmph! The Shenzhen business world is in turmoil right now. It's simply not something a fool like Xu Tailang can calm down. Let him run rampant in Shenzhen for a few days. I'm sure someone will take action to deal with him."

"Huh? Yes! Dad." Wu Ting looked at the little old man lying on the hospital bed in front of her and suddenly felt that the other person was really old.

"Wu Ting, this is your father and my savior, Zhou Qiqiang. From now on, he will be my good son." At this time, Chen Tai suddenly pointed at the silent man on the side and introduced him.

"Hello, Zhou Qiqiang! Thank you for rescuing Dad." Wu Ting had already noticed the quiet figure standing nearby, and she quickly stood up with a smile, extending her right hand to Zhou Qiqiang. "Sister Ting, you're really too kind. This is what I should have done." Zhou Qiqiang, overjoyed, quickly grasped Wu Ting's hand.

"Qiangzi, Wu Ting, you are my, Chen Tai's, godson and goddaughter, so I hope you can cooperate sincerely and then inherit the family business I leave for you." Looking at the pair of children given by God in front of him, Chen Tai couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Yes! Dad."

"By the way! Wu Ting, is your cousin Su Ningyuan willing to join our group?" At this time, Chen Tai suddenly looked at Wu Ting in front of him and asked.

"Dad, Suning is a bit lazy. He is quite satisfied with opening a mobile phone store." Knowing that Suning doesn't like to be involved in troublesome things, Wu Ting just made up an excuse.

"Well, Wu Ting, Suning is still too young after all. She doesn't have as much experience as Qiangzi, so as her older sister, you must discipline her more."

"Yes! Dad, I know what to do."

By chance, Zhou Qiqiang saved the life of business tycoon Chen Tai, and was then adopted as his godson by the grateful Chen Tai. He was then arranged by Chen Tai to be a project manager in a construction engineering company. It can be said that he changed his fate in one step.

In fact, Zhou Qiqiang is a native of Shenzhen, and his life experience is quite rich. When he was sixteen, his parents died of illness one after another because their family was too poor to go to the hospital for treatment. Then Zhou Qiqiang's parents turned minor illnesses into terminal illnesses, and eventually left a pair of poor children in this world.

Zhou Qiqiang, who lost his parents at the age of sixteen, had to drop out of school and work, only because he had a younger sister, Zhou Qilan, who was only seven or eight years old. Zhou Qiqiang, who dropped out of school to work, picked up rags, rode a rickshaw, and washed dishes and vegetables in the restaurant kitchen. He managed to raise his sister Zhou Qilan with difficulty.

But after his younger sister Zhou Qilan was admitted to Southern Medical University with excellent grades, the poor Zhou Qiqiang suddenly found that life became stretched again. Then by chance, he heard that the salary for sailing at sea was very high, so he went out to sea and became a sailor who traveled all over the country. The high salary of being a sailor barely allowed his younger sister Zhou Qilan to go to university.

However, a super storm at sea two years ago caused a shipwreck, which completely changed Zhou Qiqiang's idea of continuing to be a crew member. The shipwreck almost killed all the crew members on the ship. Although Zhou Qiqiang was very lucky to be rescued from the shipwreck, the fear of being alone in the endless deep sea completely frightened Zhou Qiqiang. Then Zhou Qiqiang, who survived, resolutely gave up the high-paying job as a crew member.

Because he could no longer support his family with the high salary of a seaman, Zhou Qiqiang had no choice but to go to a construction site to move bricks. This was simply because the hard work on the construction site paid relatively high wages, much higher than the wages of washing dishes and vegetables in a restaurant. At the same time, because Zhou Qiqiang was born and raised in Shenzhen, he would not encounter those disgusting things like not getting paid.

The experienced Zhou Qiqiang is a true portrayal of ordinary people at the bottom of society. Because he has experienced almost all the sufferings in the world, he cherishes every hard-won opportunity. In addition, he always wants to stand out and improve his family conditions. So when facing danger, Zhou Qiqiang immediately ran up without hesitation, only because he now has only a dispensable "cheap life" left. Fortunately, God may have seen Zhou Qiqiang's miserable life, and then gave this tragic character Zhou Qiqiang a chance.

The guy who sent people to kill Chen Tai this time was the madman Xu Tailang. After hearing his subordinates report the specific situation at that time, Xu Tailang couldn't help but reveal an expression of regret. If it weren't for a "Cheng Yaojin" who suddenly appeared halfway, he might have really defeated Chen Tai in one go. So he immediately hated this "Cheng Yaojin" in his heart.

"Along, send someone to investigate this nosy guy. I will make him regret it for the rest of his life." Xu Tailang said viciously to his employee Along.

"Yes! Mr. Xu." A Long immediately accepted Xu Tailang's order respectfully.

"I heard that old man Chen Tai was hospitalized?" At this time, Xu Tailang suddenly asked his employee A Long in confusion.

"Ah? Yes! Maybe he was scared by us."

"Hmph! Buy a fruit basket yourself and send it to the hospital, and tell them that I've been in Hong Kong for business recently." Xu Tailang had a look of disdain on his face towards Chen Tai, and then he casually gave instructions to his subordinate Aaron.

"Yes! Mr. Xu, I'll go over and take care of it right away."

Wu Ting, who had just returned home, immediately explained everything to Lin Haibo. She also expressed her disappointment in the boss, Chen Tai, and then couldn't help but express her biggest worry, "Haibo, after this incident, Xu Tailang will definitely become more and more rampant. I'm worried that Dad won't be able to take care of us anymore."

"Wu Ting, I had anticipated what you said. Xu Tailang has been going too far recently. He even poached all the girls from Juyouhui KTV." Lin Haibo explained helplessly. It was really that Xu Tailang's attack was too fierce, and Lin Haibo was becoming increasingly unable to withstand it.

"Hey! If the KTV doesn't have girls, it can still recruit more. I'm actually worried about the things happening at the gravel yard." Wu Ting didn't seem to care too much about the KTV. Instead, she was a little worried about the chaotic and disorderly gravel yard.

"Yeah! The circuit boards in our gravel yard have been stolen three times."

"Haibo, I feel like we're still too passive. We should take the initiative to deal with Xu Tailang." Wu Ting felt like they were too passive, so she suggested that Lin Haibo try to take action.

"Oh? Wu Ting, do you have any ideas?" Lin Haibo always knew that his wife Wu Ting was independent-minded, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Ting with a surprised expression and asked.

"Yes! I heard that Xu Tailang opened several underground casinos in the suburbs. We can easily send people to smash them all." At this time, Wu Ting immediately expressed her idea, because she knew clearly where Xu Tailang's weakness was.

"Okay! Let's do it! Let Xu Tailang also have a taste of the bitterness of a mute eating coptis root."
